Chapter 1612 - 1613: Making Ye Mo Fall in Love with Her
Chapter 1612: Chapter 1613: Making Ye Mo Fall in Love with Her
All the martial artists listened quietly to Bai Xuzi’s announcement, eager to know the reward for first place.
"The reward for first place is a Breaking Soul Merging Elixir, a Fourth-Rank Immortal Pill. After consumption, a martial artist with an Ordinary Grade Will who has reached a bottleneck can immediately break through to the Astonishing Grade."
As Bai Xuzi spoke, he waved his sleeve, and a white Pei Yuan pill flew directly towards Ye Mo. A Fourth-Rank Immortal Pill is extremely valuable, and even at an ordinary auction, it could be sold for more than ten million Immortal Stones.
"Breaking Soul Merging Elixir? It’s a pill coveted by many with an Ordinary Grade Will."
"Yes, and Ye Mo has already reached a Will Index of 190, ready to break through to the Astonishing Grade at any time."
Everyone felt a tinge of envy at Ye Mo’s reward. Even Xuanyuan Ze couldn’t help but envy the first place reward. Although their royal status had Fourth-Rank pills, they didn’t have the Breaking Soul Merging Elixir; otherwise, he would have already broken through to the Astonishing Grade Will.
Ye Mo, receiving the pill, was quite satisfied. With this pill, he could break through to the Astonishing Grade Will, allowing him to not only refine Phase 2 pills but also Second Order Immortal Talismans, naturally enhancing his strength significantly.
Moreover, he could restore Glarxi’s will to the Astonishing Grade, and the Dragon Realm to the Second Layer level.
"This enrollment test has come to a successful conclusion. In a month, the Immortal Martial Academy officially starts. I don’t think I need to say more about the tuition fees. As long as you work hard, the rewards will be beyond just this. Also, Ye Mo, follow me for a moment. The rest of you are dismissed."
Bai Xuzi announced loudly as the other martial artists left the square one after another. Xuanyuan Ze, too, left unwillingly. He originally thought he could shine in Immortal Spirit City, but unexpectedly, Ye Mo, a ’vulgar chicken and dog’ who ascended from the secular world, had disrupted his plans. Even more unacceptable was that this ’vulgar chicken and dog’ was only 29 years old.
"Master, what business do you have with your student?"
In the square, apart from the Immortal Spirit Army maintaining order, only Ye Mo and Ling Shan remained.
"Ye Mo, I’ve kept you here to remind you of one thing. Your natural talents are too exceptional, and currently, only the people of Immortal Spirit City know. In the coming month, you must be careful. And during the freshman entrance, there’s a freshman ranking competition. This competition tests true strength. Although your natural talents are outstanding, to make a splash, you must achieve a ranking in that competition because the masters and elders will be watching. Your performance will be entirely in their view. The more you stand out, the more esteemed elders may accept you as their disciple."
Bai Xuzi said coolly.
"Thank you, Master, for the reminder!"
Ye Mo cupped his hands and remembered everything. Being a martial artist ascended from the secular world without any background, if he could apprentice under a powerful master, his path of cultivation would naturally be much smoother in the future.
"Well, if that’s the case, then we shall part ways. A month from now, I would like to see to what extent a martial artist who has practiced for only 15 years can reach."
As Bai Xuzi spoke, he left the square directly.
Watching Bai Xuzi leave, Ye Mo too turned and left the square. He didn’t plan to stay in Immortal Spirit City for now. The Immortal Martial Academy was quite a distance from Immortal Spirit City, so he thought it best to cultivate while traveling. A month would pass quickly enough.
However, Ye Mo first intended to bid farewell to Ling Shan.
Ye Mo arrived at the mansion, and after a moment of waiting, Ling Shan walked out. Ling Shan initially wanted to invite Ye Mo inside the mansion, but Ye Mo refused. They conversed briefly in front of the mansion before Ye Mo turned and left.
Watching Ye Mo’s back, Ling Shan’s autumn eyes flickered slightly. Her rebellious thoughts resurfaced. Although she had won her bet with Xuanyuan Ze this time, it didn’t change the fact that she was still considered Xuanyuan Ze’s fiancée in her mind.
Originally, she couldn’t resist. After all, she was just a city lord’s daughter. How could she contend against the Second Prince of Fengling Dynasty?
However, now, a Ye Mo had appeared—a freakish Ye Mo—that gave her hope. Even if Ye Mo didn’t like her, she would find a way to make Ye Mo fall in love with her, even if it meant using some despicable measures. At least in that way, Ye Mo would be responsible for her, and she wouldn’t have to marry Xuanyuan Ze.
As long as Ye Mo could gain attention from an Elder at the academy and be accepted as a disciple, his status would naturally rise significantly, no less than Xuanyuan Ze’s.
"Does he truly have no feelings for me at all? Does he only see me as an ordinary friend?"
Ling Shan sighed. She had tried to persuade Ye Mo earlier, but Ye Mo had politely declined. Shaking her head, she prepared to return to the mansion, only to catch sight of Xuanyuan Ze standing at the mansion’s entrance.
"Ling Shan, it seems that kid has no feelings for you, huh?"
Standing at the entrance, Xuanyuan Ze had naturally overheard Ling Shan and Ye Mo’s conversation: "It appears you indeed used him as a shield, but he doesn’t seem interested in you. Well, he is a 29-year-old Immortal Position Realm powerhouse, heading to Immortal Martial Academy where there are numerous talented women with better backgrounds and stronger power than you. You’re merely his plaything."
"Are you done talking?"
Ling Shan’s expression didn’t change, showing no effect from Xuanyuan Ze’s words.
"Ling Shan, let me tell you something. Even if Ye Mo has defeated me, so what? You can run but can’t hide forever. You are still my fiancée. In time, I’ll let the entire Immortal Martial Academy know that you, Ling Shan, a specially recruited student, are my fiancée."
Xuanyuan Ze sneered, slowly walking up to Ling Shan and whispering in her ear: "As for Ye Mo, don’t count on him to save you again. Do you think a genius like him would be interested in you?"
Though he grudgingly lost to Ye Mo, Xuanyuan Ze had to admit Ye Mo’s talent. After multiple encounters with Ye Mo, he knew Ye Mo was a proud person. If Ye Mo really liked Ling Shan, he would have held her close, giving him a strong slap in the face. Yet Ye Mo didn’t; instead, he politely declined Ling Shan’s invitation and left Immortal Spirit City alone.
"My affairs are none of your business!"
Ling Shan coldly replied and walked into the Ling Mansion.
Watching Ling Shan’s retreating figure, Xuanyuan Ze slightly smiled, feeling a sense of accomplishment in conquering a woman like her.
"Your Royal Highness, Prince, that kid Ye Mo has left Immortal Spirit City."
At this moment, two followers in the Immortal Class Realm appeared before Xuanyuan Ze.
"Bribe a few thugs to follow him, but don’t rush into action. Since I just had a conflict with him today, if something happens to him, I’ll surely be suspected."
Xuanyuan Ze instructed.
"As you command!"
The two followers nodded and vanished from the spot.
