The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Seeing the hate-filled glare, Ye Mo shook his head sheepishly – he’d made another enemy for no reason.

“You’re Ye Mo?” Chu Ge stood up and stared at Ye Mo.

“Yes,” Ye Mo nodded.

“Yanzhi is the love of my life,” Chu Ge said arrogantly. “I suggest you withdraw from the marriage contract you have with her, or face the consequences. You’re not a good match for Yanzhi. Of course, I’m not one to target the weak. If you withdraw from the marriage immediately, I’ll satisfy whatever needs you have.”

Li Mengli, sitting to one side, was clutching her stomach, laughing quietly. Seeing the tensions rise, Yanzhi gave up caring. She sat down as well.

“It would be great if you could remove our marriage contract. But I’ve always hated being threatened.” Ye Mo gave Chu Ge a death stare. Facing a fighter in the late True Energy Realm, he showed no sign of fear.

“Don’t think that just because you’re the chief elect of the Xuan Ji sub-league, it means that you’re really top dog,” Chu Ge said loudly. “Against me, you’re nothing!”

“I don’t want to fight you today. You’re participating in the league war, aren’t you? Let’s fight it out for real, then.” Ye Mo smiled and looked away. He turned to Chen Yanzhi and said, “Lady Yanzhi, I’ll be taking my leave.”

“Thinking about leaving? Take this first!”

Boom!

Chu Ge held his palms together and waved them wildly. He unleashed a ghostly black wave of True Energy. Countless numbers of Ghost Black Flames could be seen atop the palace, sparkling continuously.

“Brother Ye Mo, be careful,” Ling’er said loudly. “He uses a unique technique –Ghostfire. He’s nearly as skilled as the One Armed Butcher.”

Ghostfire was a type of flame comparable in strength to Hellfire. Legends say it originated from the flames of hell, and could light up all sins in the mortal world. Fighters who have mastered that technique could easily challenge people above their own level.

“Ghostfire Sky Lightning!”

Chu Ge pointed a finger at Ye Mo. The air above his head twisted as a ray of Ghost Black Ghostfire Lightning manifested from thin air and shot towards him.

Boom!

Ye Mo generated his Bright Dragon Spear and struck the Ghostfire Lightning. It made a buzzing sound as the flames scattered in all directions. Ye Mo went flying backwards.

“Take this – Sky Blood Cycle!” Ye Mo roared and started his counterattack. The Bright Dragon Spear in hand sent out a ray of Sky Blood light blade that twisted violently as it flew towards Chu Ge.

“All of you, stop!” An angry voice shouted. Ye Mo frowned slightly as he withdrew his spear and stood there quietly.

“The nerve of you two to fight in my palace,” Chen Yihan said furiously. “Chu Ge, you brat, so full of yourself after a little bit of achievement? Go and face the wall and reflect. You’ll only come out when the league war starts. As for you, Ye Mo, scram.”

“Marshal Chen, I’ll take my leave!”

Ye Mo and Yun Chuchu held their hands together towards Chen Yihan before leaving the palace.

“Just wait, Ye Mo. I’ll show you how much more powerful I am than you in the league war,” Chu Ge said loudly.

“Anytime, anywhere!”

Ye Mo and Yun Chuchu disappeared from sight.

“Ye Mo, you’ll finally find out my identity when you participate in the league war,” Li Mengli smiled secretly as she watched Ye Mo leave. “I wonder what your reaction will be. I’m looking forward to it.”

Leaving the Skywolf Mountain Range, Ye Mo brought Yun Chuchu back to the Qingyun League quickly.

With the league war just around the corner, Ye Mo was determined to make another breakthrough in the ten-plus days he had left. As long as he managed to advance to the True Energy Realm, he’d be sure to take first place.

Returning to the Qingyun League, he bid Chuchu farewell before rushing to the Xuan Ji sub-league to report on the situation.

“Mo’er, you’re saying that you killed all the elites of the Northwest Bandits by yourself?” Xuan Ji was taken by surprise by the news.

“Yes.” Ye Mo nodded. “I also filled up two big boxes of Mixed Energy Pills. I’m thinking of giving Xuan Ji sub-league one box, and sending the other one to Limestone City.”

“Good kid,” Xuan Ji smiled. “You’re definitely Ye Qing’s son, you’re as bold as he was.”

“Auntie, I’ve now reached the Half True Energy Realm and successfully generated a True Energy Seed inside my body,” Ye Mo said. “With only a little more than ten days before the league war, I want to go somewhere with rich natural energy resources to advance to the True Energy Realm. I wonder if there is such a place in the Qingyun League?”

“Oh? You’re already in the Half True Energy Realm? Let me take a look.” Xuan Ji placed her delicate hand on top of Ye Mo’s head. She looked surprised. “Haha, it’s true, you’ve already generated a True Energy Seed and reached the Half True Energy Realm. If we find a place with a strong enough natural aura in the air, you’ll be able to advance to the True Energy Realm in no time. Combined with your strong energy techniques, who’s to say that you can’t finish first in the league war?”

“Yes.” Ye Mo nodded. “But the problem is that the techniques that I’ve trained are too overpowering. Normal environments won’t be enough to let me break into the True Energy Realm.”

The stronger one’s martial techniques were, the harder it would be for the fighter to advance to the next stage. 700 traces of mediation was already extremely powerful. In such a powerful place, he was somehow still unable to breakthrough to the True Energy Realm. With his strength, making the breakthrough to the True Energy Realm wasn’t going to be an easy feat.

“If that’s the case, we may be in some trouble!” Xuan Ji frowned.

“Auntie, I have something in my Dimensional Bracelet that I still can’t figure out.” As he spoke, Ye Mo took out an item from his Dimensional Bracelet.

The moment he took it out, Xuan Ji leapt to her feet and said, “That’s Bodhi Seed, and it’s already sprouted! Mo’er, where did you get this?” Xuan Ji recognized it immediately – it was a true treasure.

“Auntie, what’s the use of this Bodhi Seed?” Ye Mo asked. “The seed’s absorbed my energy and started to sprout.”

“Your energy can make the Bodhi Seed germinate and sprout?” Xuan Ji was shocked. She continued, “This Bodhi Seed is the best thing to help your training. Rumours say it has to be consumed directly – that’s not true. The seed needs to be germinated, and you’ll be able to collect the Bodhi Water within it. The water contains enormous amounts of natural life resources. It’s so far beyond the natural energy in the atmosphere. If you absorb that life-giving water, it will be enough to bring you all the way up to the True Energy Realm.”

“What? Bodhi Water?” Ye Mo’s whole body shook, and he almost dropped the Bodhi Seed. He said, “But this Bodhi Seed has only sprouted a little after absorbing my energy for more than ten days. It’ll take at least half a year for it to sprout completely.”

“Brother Ye Mo, I don’t think it will take that long.” Ling’er said from within his Energy Center. “Now that your Giant Dragon Powers have become Bright Dragon Powers, they contain the Yaori Light – a great source of nutrients for the plant!”

Plants need sunlight to grow fast. The Yaori Light was more than enough for the Bodhi Seed to absorb.
