Because of that, Yanzhi wanted to teach Ye Mo a good lesson. Although Ye Mo was capable of defeating Ye Changsheng, there was still a gap between him and the True Energy Realm.
“Haha, how confident.” Huo Yun stepped out and looked at Ye Mo with a taunting gaze and said, “I admit that you are strong and were strong enough to defeat Wang Chao with a single move. But I am a True Energy Realm warrior. A spear technique spar between us will not reveal anything even after my victory.”
“I am willing to join Ferocious Tiger Barracks if you can defeat me. But that is not happening at all. Not only will I defeat you, I will also use this spar to show you all the weakness of Chen Clan Spear Technique.” Ye Mo spoke without holding anything back despite the fact that Chen Yihan was standing to the side. He had always been one to speak his mind. If Chen Yihan was willing to listen to him, he would be able to improve Chen Clan Spear Technique.
“How egotistical.” Huo Yun was furious when he heard the arrogant words spoken with full confidence by Ye Mo. He clenched his spear tightly and started wrapping a fiery red energy on it to increase the force behind his attack. Then he stabbed out. At the exact moment he stabbed, his energy erupted to transform into flaming sabers, flaming armors, flaming spears, and flaming bows.
Every piece of equipment that could appear in a war zone thus appeared. Ye Mo found himself stranded alone on a battlefield with a huge army marching upon him.
Ye Mo raised his eyebrows and unleashed the Dragon Power within his power. A resplendent radiance shone from his right fist. Slowly, the radiance lengthened before turning into a Dragon Spear. And with a single stab, countless flaming armors, bows, and spears were destroyed, transforming into nothingness.
“Take this. Chen Clan Spear Technique, spear will erupt, Ironclad Army, Rumbling War Drum!”
After defeating his opponent’s attack, Ye Mo dashed forward and stabbed forth again. A dazzling radiance erupted as a spear light shot out. Instantly, Huo Yun felt like he was stranded in a true war zone. On the battlefield, two armies were clashing and bleeding without stop. Even he himself had been seriously injured. Finally, the sound of the war drum rang in the air – this was the song of defeat.
“No!” Huo Yun bit on his lips to free himself from the entrapment of the will. Yet at that moment, Ye Mo’s spear light had already neared his chest. The spear light was black, yet at the same time, it shone with a radiance as dazzling as the sun.
Huo Yun’s face fell as he quickly formed a flaming armor on his body. The spear light landed on his flaming armor. With a crack, the flaming armor shattered.
Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta! Huo Yun was pushed several steps backward before he could regain his footing. At this point, he was already deathly pale.
“What do you think of my Will of the Ironclad Army Spear?” Ye Mo asked with an indifferent smile on his face as he looked at the shocked expressions of the soldiers around him. There he stood, high spirited after defeating Huo Yun who was a True Energy Realm warrior with a single attack.
When the two wills clashed, it was obvious which was the superior will. Although Huo Yun had reached True Energy Realm, his foundations were rather weak. Furthermore, he had relied on True Energy Pill to reach this realm while his strength was only slightly stronger than Xiao Yuanshan.
Although Ye Mo had not reached perfection with the spear, he had still reached a certain level of mastery with it. He was able to easily replicate the Will of the Ironclad Army Spear.
“You are strong. The Will of the Ironclad Army Spear you used contains true bloodlust and a war drum capable of shaking one’s heart. I am indeed not your match.” Although Huo Yun found his defeat hard to believe, he had no choice but to acknowledge Ye Mo’s strength and Ye Mo’s spear will.
“Thank you.” Ye Mo cupped his fists at Huo Yun politely before saying, “In truth, the only reason my spear will is stronger is because I have killed many more people than you. To obtain a truly powerful will, your spear needs to taste more blood. Otherwise, you will have an empty spear technique.”
“Hahaha, excellent. Well said. I had never expected Ye Qing’s son to be this outstanding, to be able to easily point out the weakness of my spear technique.” Chen Yihan laughed before saying to Huo Yun, “You guys continue practicing.” Then he took Ye Mo and Yanzhi out of the barracks.
At the meeting hall of the Marshall’s Mansion, Chen Yihan was sitting with a straight posture. Ye Mo was seated beside Yun Chuchu, while Chen Yanzhi was seated at the other corner.
When the maid served all of them tea and left, Chen Yihan spoke. “Who is this young lady, if I may ask.”
“I am Yun Chuchu. Please accept my greetings, Marshal Chen. “Yun Chuchu stood up and cupped her hands in greeting.
“Um.” Chen Yihan nodded and said, “Ye Mo, I have heard about what happened from Xuan Ji. Although there is a misunderstanding between you, nothing has ever happened between Yanzhi and Chen Changsheng. She is still pure in body. How about this. After the league war, regardless of your result in the league war, the two of you shall get married.”
“What?” Three people shouted at the same time.
“What? Is there an issue? Ye Mo, my daughter is also known as the great female strategist among the Chen Clan Army. If you become the son in law of my Chen Clan, the position of Kingdom Stabilizing Marshal will be yours in the future,” Chen Yihan said.
Kingdom Stabilizing Marshal was indeed a position at the top of the pyramid. Nobody could resist such temptation.
“I disagree,” Chen Yanzhi spat.
“I disagree as well.” Ye Mo shrugged.
When Chen Yihan saw that Yun Chuchu had her head lowered in silence, he smiled. “Is it because of this young lady? Don’t worry. It is normal for man to have several women in his life. When your father was young, even a woman like Xuan Ji was deeply in love with him. So long as you get married with Yanzhi, it would be fine if Yanzhi is the main wife while she becomes the second wife.” Chen Yihan spoke with full confidence, willing to agree to that just so Ye Mo would get married to his daughter.
“Marshal Chen, I think you have misunderstood us. If Ye Changsheng had not appeared, there might a possibility for there to be something between us. But now, it is impossible for me to have any relationship with Miss Yanzhi. In any case, she wouldn’t fancy me too,” Ye Mo explained.
“Father, Ye Mo is correct. It is impossible between us. Don’t worry about my future happiness. There are so many people in the Chen Clan Army. Would finding a man that is more outstanding than me be hard?” Yanzhi stood up and said.
“No. I am Chen Yihan, a person of my word. I can forget about it if Ye Mo is an incompetent person. But he is talented and is worthy of my daughter. That will be all. I will write Xuan Ji a letter to discuss a date for Chen Clan Army to form an alliance through marriage with Xuan Ji Sub-League. This will definitely be a happy marriage.” Chen Yihan came to a decision and did not even give the two a chance to retort.
“Father, I will never marry Ye Mo. Although he is not annoying, he will never be able to move my heart. Do you want to see your sole daughter losing her happiness just like that?” Yanzhi said persuadably.
“Marshal Chen, nothing good will come out of forcing something to happen. Please think it through,” Ye Mo said.
“Sigh.” Chen Yihan sighed before saying, “I can never understand the thoughts of you youngsters. Since you both insist, we shall cancel the engagement.” The three appeared joyful when they heard that.
“But the two of you will have to complete a mission for me before I cancel this engagement. Otherwise, forget it.”
“What mission?” The two asked.
“Lead 1,000 Chen Clan Army soldiers and eliminate all the bandits of the northwest region.”
