In this fight, Ye Mo showed an unexpected strength and defeated Yun Feng who was an Energy Shaping Seventh Realm warrior, becoming the most eye-catching dark horse. Along with this, Ye Mo’s name spread far and wide across the entire Qingyun League. Since Elder Feng hadn’t returned, Ye Mo had been staying at Firecloud Pavilion all the while. He accompanied Yun Chuchu and would occasionally go watch how Elder Yun would fuse the weapon spirits.
However, fusing weapon spirits would take some time. Based on Yun Tianxie’s calculation, it would take at least half a year to complete this process.
In a room at Firecloud Pavilion.
“Brother Mo, you are probably a popular person in the Qingyun League now. Just today, a number of people from Ling Xuan Sub-league and Jin Xiu Sub-league came to recruit you.”
After spending a few days with each other, Yun Chuchu and Ye Mo became even closer. Now, Yun Chuchu was directly calling him Brother Mo. With the strength Ye Mo had demonstrated, all three of the major sub-leagues should have come recruiting. However, it was clear that Xuan Ji Sub-league hadn’t sent anyone recruiting due to Ye Changsheng.
“Chuchu, after a few more days, I will try to advance to become an Elite League member. At that time, I will start doing the bounty missions and get more combat experience,” Ye Mo said gently while holding Chuchu’s hand.
“Mmhm. Just go. Grandpa also mentioned that he’s going to give me some training. I will definitely improve so much, you’ll have the shock of your life.”
Yun Chuchu was aware that she could only stay together with Ye Mo longer if he could become stronger. After experiencing the Sword Whisper Manor incident, she was no longer the innocent young girl she was before.
Looking at the tender lips of Yun Chuchu, a dirty thought suddenly arose within Ye Mo’s mind. Slowly, he approached Yun Chuchu’s face. When Yun Chuchu saw him doing that, she shut her eyes tightly, nervous as a little sheep that was about to be slaughtered. Just as Ye Mo was about to land a kiss, a cough sounded, interrupting the moment.
“Ye Mo, come out. I have something to tell you,” Yun Tianxie’s voice sounded from outside the room. He was an expert in the Energy Burst Realm, only a step away from the Divine Realm. Therefore, he could sense everything that was going on in the room with his eyes shut.
“Chuchu, I’m leaving.”
After Ye Mo left, Chuchu slowly opened her eyes. Her heart was beating quickly, and her hands were clasped so tightly her palms were sweating. The moment she thought of how her grandpa knew what was going on with her and Ye Mo, she felt so shy she wished she could hide under a blanket.
Yun Tianxie brought Ye Mo to the main hall and sat down before saying, “Ye Mo, both you and Chuchu like each other. However, I am still not comfortable entrusting you with Chuchu for now.”
“What do you mean, Martial Uncle Yun? Ye Mo is confused.” Ye Mo was confused, no idea what Yun Tianxie was trying to say.
“You will know soon. With your current strength, I think you will be able to advance into an Inner League member soon. However, you won’t make it to the League War in half a year. This should have been a rare chance for you since the emperor will show himself at the League War. Many generals and ministers of Tianwu Kingdom will also watch this tournament. If you can get a good result there, your position in Tianwu Kingdom will be truly stable.” As Yun Tianxie spoke, he shook his head. The Emperor had never personally watched the battle between league members.
“Martial Uncle Yun, I am determined to do well in the League War. I only hope that you can finish forging my weapon before then. That will increase the odds of me performing well during the League War,” Ye Mo said firmly.
“Are you going to try getting the quota allocated for Xuan Ji Sub-league? Do you know that Xuan Ji had already decided that Ye Changsheng would be the Chief Elect? Xuan Ji is a very adamant woman. No matter what, you won’t be able to change her mind. Even if you can defeat Ye Changsheng, she will only consider that as a slap to her face. You will be the one to suffer at the end,” said Elder Yun.
“What’s so good about that Ye Changsheng that he could obtain the preference of League Chief Xuan Ji? The heavens must be blind. Without the help of Xuan Ji, I can punch him to death with a single hand.”
“That is how life is. Don’t think too much on it. Just put more effort into cultivating. Only when you become strong will I be comfortable entrusting Chuchu to you. Alright?” Yun Tianxie patted Ye Mo’s shoulder and left the Firecloud Pavilion.
Ye Mo sat in the hall in contemplation. After a while, he left, prepared to advance into an Elite League member. However, he had subsequently changed his mind. When advancing into the Elite League, not only would one’s offense be tested, even one’s defense would be tested. Only when both offense and defense reached the standard of Energy Shaping Seventh Realm would one advance into the Elite League.
After advancing into the Elite League, not only would he be able to enjoy having an entire lake for his own cultivation, the news of him becoming an Elite League member would also immediately be passed back to the Xiao Clan. The Xiao Clan would also be rewarded by the league for this.
“When I enter the Energy Shaping Fourth Realm, I will try advancing into the Elite League. At that time, I will have full confidence in my success. When the news is sent back to Limestone City, Uncle Xiao and his wife will definitely be happy. The cities around Limestone City will no longer dare to do anything to Limestone City anymore as well.”
If one could advance into the Elite League in less than half a year after joining the league, that person would definitely be highly regarded by the league. When the cities around Limestone City found out about this, they would no longer dare to touch Limestone City.
Ye Mo was about to return to his cave to cultivate before he saw that the public square capable of fitting a hundred thousand people was bustling with activity. A crowd of people was gathered there. A small event seemed to be taking place.
“They seem to be the people of Xuan Ji Sub-league?”
Curious, Ye Mo walked over. A small platform had been erected at the middle of the public square and on the platform was a scroll with some words written on it: Xuan Ji Sub-league is recruiting a second order sealing artist. Inviting talented individuals to register.
“Go take a look!” Ling’er snapped her fingers.
Ye Mo squeezed into the crowd and found that not many people were registering. Most of the crowd was only onlookers. After all, sealing artists were very rare.
“Tsk tsk, I heard Xuan Ji Sub-league is recruiting an honorary sealing artist. The sealing artist that passed the test will be able to join Xuan Ji Sub-league to become their honorary sealing artist. That will be quite a respectable position. However, only one will be accepted. It will depend on one’s strength if one wants to get through the test.”
Some of the league members started talking about the recruitment.
“Brother Ye Mo, Ling’er has always felt that something is odd with how League Chief Xuan Ji had taken a liking to Ye Changsheng. If you want to become the Chief Elect, you can only fight for the quota allocated to Xuan Ji. Isn’t this your best chance to join Xuan Ji Sub-league?”
Ye Changsheng’s position in Xuan Ji Sub-league was very high. However, if Ye Mo could become their honorary sealing artist, his position in Xuan Ji Sub-league would similarly be high as well. Besides that, he could also annoy Ye Changsheng by doing that.
“Good idea. I suppose Ye Changsheng would have never expected that I would actually enter his territory.”
As he thought of this, Ye Mo leisurely walked forward and said to the people in charge of registration, “I am Ye Mo, here to register to become Xuan Ji Sub-league’s honorary sealing artist.”
