The next morning, Ye Mo woke up early from his meditation as usual. After forming a Purple Flame Dragon Spear, he brandished the spear around and started practicing his spearmanship. Blazes of flame would sweep out of the spear each time he waved it. This was happening because the air itself was being burned by the Purple Flame Spirit Qi.
The current Purple Flame Spirit Qi was a nearly undefeated existence. An ordinary Energy Shaping Realm martial artist would have to exercise extreme caution when facing this flame. On top of that, this flame was also capable of easily penetrating the defense of a Fourth Realm Energy Shaping Realm fighter.
As Ye Mo practiced his spearmanship, time passed. Finally, Elder Zhang arrived riding on the wind. When he looked at Ye Mo, a trace of admiration crept onto his face. Ye Mo was able to catch on to this change. Cai Ling had probably said something to this Elder Feng.
“You gave me quite a surprise, Disciple. You actually have some connection with City of Daughters? When I gave that seal to City Lord Cai Ling, she gave me a Goddess’s Teardrop with no questions asked. She had even repeatedly asked me to take good care of you,” Elder Feng said with a smile.
“Yeah. City Lord Cai Ling is my friend. By the way, I have something I need to tell you, Master,” Ye Mo said.
“What is it?”
“After you left yesterday, Yun Shan took advantage of my absence from the room to infuse some Purple Flame Spirit Qi into my pill cauldron. Luckily, I noticed it in time. Otherwise, the Purple Flame Spirit Qi would have seeped into the Appearance Pill after I finished refining it. The consequences would be grave if Master’s wife ended up taking the pill,” Ye Mo said in anger.
“What?” Elder Feng’s pupils dilated as he shouted. True energy roiled out of him in his anger and knocked down the trees behind him.
“What galls he has, that Yun Shan. Looks like he’s tired of living!”
“I immediately killed him after noticing him,” Ye Mo said.
“Well done, Disciple. It is lucky that you noticed him in time. Otherwise, Master will regret this my entire life,” Elder Zhang said.
Ye Mo then took out the Appearance Pill from his storage ring and passed it to Elder Feng. “Master, this is the Appearance Pill. It has also reached the maximum rank. You will have to do the rest of the work. I have to return to the Outer League.”
“Disciple, when your Martial Mother has fully recuperated, Iwill personally guide you in your cultivation. I will make you an Elite League member in the shortest time possible!” Elder Feng declared.
“Thank you, master,” Ye Mo said. He then returned to the Spirit Mountain of the Outer League. He was now a well-known individual at the Outer League. Regardless of whether they were old or new league embers, everyone was aware of who Ye Mo was.
During the previous test at the Outer League, Ye Mo had obtained spectacular results. Elder Zhang had also taken a liking on him. One could say that he had reached the top with a single step and would have boundless prospects ahead of him.
For the past few days, Ye Mo had been training within the cave to comprehend the nature of aura. Every now and then, there would be female league members confessing their love to him. These female league members had impressive cultivation talent and were not interested in guys from powerful clans. The type of guy they liked were talented cultivators like Ye Mo. Unfortunately, they had all been coldly rejected by Ye Mo.
In an instant, half a month passed. Ye Mo was preparing to enter the Inner League. Although he was capable of defeating a Fourth Realm Energy Shaping Realm fighter, he was nonetheless still not in the Fourth Realm of Energy Shaping Realm. Because of this, he still couldn’t officially advance into the Inner League. When Ling Xue’s group of three found out that Ye Mo was preparing to advance into the Inner League, they rushed over to visit him.
“Ye Mo, it hasn’t been two months since you joined the Qingyun League yet you are already qualified to advance into the Inner League. Not many people can break this record. You only need to go do a strength assessment at the Martial Saint Hall. You will be an Inner League Member the moment you pass the assessment. You can then enjoy a better cultivation environment than what we have at the Outer League. The news will also spread to your clan and your clan will be granted the Qingyun League’s protection from then on as well,” Li Suifeng spoke with envy on his face.
“Ye Mo, you defeated a Fourth Realm Energy Shaping Realm fighter the other day. With your strength, you can easily get through the assessment. After becoming an Inner League Member, Ye Changsheng wouldn’t dare to openly do anything bad to you anymore,” Ling Xue said.
“Fine. You guys should go with me to give me moral support. After I become an Inner League Member, we can go have a celebratory drink.” Ye Mo seemed completely confident in becoming an Inner League Member. With his current strength, he was entirely capable of standing tall within the Inner League.
In front of the public square that could fit 10,000 people was a huge palace. This was the Martial Saint Hall, its name a symbolic one that represented the advancement of one into sainthood through martial pursuits, a symbol of advancement in both strength and status. The Martial Saint Hall was normally quite empty. After all, a fee of 500 league points had to be paid for each Inner League advancement assessment. Not many league members would bother wasting their money here if they did not have the ability to pass the assessment.
One could become an Inner League member through three methods. The first method was a payment of 10,000 league points. The second method was reaching the Fourth Realm of the Energy Shaping Realm during the Outer League strength assessment. And the third method was to directly go for a strength assessment at the Martial Saint Hall.
When Ye Mo’s group of four entered the Martial Saint Hall, the hall was surprisingly crowded. Nearly the entire hall was filled with Inner League members. When Ye Mo entered with Ling Xue and the other two, the hall was already filled with sounds of discussion.
“Tsk, tsk. This Ye Changsheng is truly a genius. With his strength of Second Realm Energy Shaping Realm, he was able to advance into the Inner Realm. This is quite frightening.”
“There’s nothing odd about that. Ye Changsheng is a favorite of Master Xuan Ji and has been anointed as the next Chief Elect. It is natural for him to be strong.”
When Ye Mo heard the exclamations around him, he finally understood what was going on here. So it turned out that Ye Changsheng was also here to advance into the Inner League. Moreover, he had also passed his assessment after displaying incredible prowess.
Ye Mo studied his surroundings and found that the league members spectating here all had a unique emblem on their right shoulder. This was the emblem representing the Xuan Ji Sub-League. The minimum requirement to join the Xuan Ji Sub-League was to be an Inner League member. One could also join if one was a newcomer with extreme potential. An example of newcomers with extreme potential was the green-clothed woman, Hu Batian, and Hu Bahu, who had been recruited into the Jin Xiu and Ling Xuan Sub-Leagues.
The Inner League members here were all from the Xuan Ji Sub-League. When Ye Mo entered deeper into the Martial Saint Hall, he saw Ye Changsheng standing there. Holding the Spirit of Hellfire in his hand, he had a faint smile on his face. Of course, he did not dare to do much when he was facing the elders of the Martial Saint Hall.
“Ye Changsheng looks so handsome! He has a spirit weapon in hand and is able to unleash the strength of a Fourth Realm Energy Shaping Realm when he is only a Second Realm of the Energy Shaping Realm. On top of that, he is also a genius that Master Xuan Ji focuses on nurturing.”
“Wouldn’t it be great if I were his girlfriend? The other girls would be so jealous.” The female league members of the Xuan Ji Sub-League were completely smitten.
“He has advanced into the Inner League after only two months in the Qingyun League. I reckon he will enter the Elite League in a couple of months. At that time, he will become Master Xuan Ji’s Chief Elect. He would be one of the core members of our Xuan Ji Sub-League when that happens.”
“I heard he is a martial artist from a small city. His talent is really very scary. No wonder Master Xuan Ji had taken a liking to him. After all, talent is more important than his current cultivation level.”
These people hadn’t witnessed the Outer League’s strength assessment half a month prior. Because of that, Ye Changsheng’s performance here had shocked them all.
“Wait here for me. I’m going to take the advancement assessment now.”
Ye Mo left Ling Xue and the other two before he headed straight toward the inner hall. Just as he was about to enter, he was stopped by a league member.
“What are you doing here? Is the Martial Saint Hall a place you can enter as you wish? If you want to spectate, please stay back at least 30 feet,” a Fourth Realm Energy Shaping Realm Inner League member rebuked him coldly. They were all here today to cheer on Ye Changsheng. They were naturally unwilling to allow anyone else to advance into the Inner League today. They of the Xuan Ji Sub-League were taking over the Martial Saint Hall for the day.
