Cao Zheng was looking at the two items like they were already his.

Both prizes were extremely well suited for him and his cultivation as if the emperor had prepared them just for him.

Li Mengli wasn’t looking at the prizes. She turned around and, when she saw Ye Mo staring at the prizes, she shook her head.

Even if you want the prizes that badly, I can’t let you get them, Li Ming thought to herself I’d rather leave you with nothing if it would save your life.

Bang!

At that moment, Cao Zhengchun descended from the sky like a bolt of lightning. Four scrolls appeared in his hand.

“Each of you, draw one scroll to decide on the order of battle,” He ordered. “There are four scrolls here, two with a painting on them and two empty ones. The contestants with matching scrolls will face each other in the semifinals.”

The four nodded and had no objections. Even if Li Mengli had to face Cao Zheng, there was nothing she could do about it.

The four randomly drew their scrolls. When Ye Mo opened his scroll, he saw that both he and the princess had drawn the same scrolls.

He cursed inwardly to be paired with her.

The day before, Li Mengli had tried to get Ye Mo to surrender, to save him. Ye Mo had wrongly blamed her yesterday, and now he felt guilty.

That left Cao Zheng to face Zhao Huan.

“The drawing is now complete,” Cao Zhengchun said. “The first match, between Ye Mo and Li Mengli, will begin. Contestants, enter the ring.”

At his words, Li Mengli unsheathed her sword and walked into the ring, expression solemn.

Ye Mo took his Sky Blood Spear off his back as well.

Immediately, everyone focused on Ye Mo’s weapon. Just yesterday, Ye Mo didn’t have a weapon.

“What weapon is that? Is that a Spirit Weapon? But I can’t feel any energy from it. It looks like an ordinary weapon.”

“Maybe there’s something special about that weapon?”

“What’s that weapon Ye Mo is holding?” Elder Wutian of the Qingyn League asked when he saw the weapon in Ye Mo’s hand. “Didn’t I give him the Windchasing Sunslayer Spear yesterday? Why’s he using an ordinary weapon instead?”

“Looks like he decided to use that weapon,” Yun Tianxie smiled. The weapon still couldn’t unleash its true power for now, but when its weapon spirit was awakened, its might would shock everyone.

“Princess, I would like to apologize for yesterday,” Ye Mo said.

“Apologize?” The princess raised an eyebrow. “Since you already know the truth, I won’t bother saying much more. Just give up.”

“I still can’t give up,” Ye Mo said. “You can’t stop me, you don’t have the strength to, anyway.”

“Haha, Ye Mo, do you really think you’re undefeatable?” Li Mengli gripped onto her sword and said, “Since you know I’m the sister of the emperor, Princess Mengli, you should also know that I have plenty of trump cards on me. Though I am only in early-stage True Energy Realm, I can still defeat you. I said I’d stop your advance here, you will not pass.” Li Mengli shouted and erupted with power. Her aura crashed out like a thundering wave. A wide and boundless ocean appeared behind her, with towering waves sweeping to the sky. She seemed to have activated some sort of secret technique.

“Ye Mo, let me show you the martial technique I learned from the inheritance of the Sea Serpent King. Sea Serpent True Body, destroyer of all!” she shouted, and an energy serpent appeared behind her, formed with the Sea Power. The sea serpent raised its head out the water, causing the waves around it to go berserk. The moment it appeared, its dark blue pupils locked onto Ye Mo. Its dark blue scales flared as it opened its jaws wide and roared, about to swallow everything in its path.

“Ye Mo, this sea serpent king is the Sea Serpent King that took control of my body then,” Li Mengli said, a trace of helplessness in her voice, combined with an iron will. With every word she uttered, the sea obeyed. “I’ve tamed him, now. I don’t want to summon him, but I’ll do what I must to defeat you.”

The huge Sea Serpent King charged out of the sea and transformed into a massive wave that crashed down on Ye Mo.

Ye Mo immediately felt the pressure bearing down upon him. It seemed unstoppable like the true Sea Serpent King had when he appeared. When it was alive, the Sea Serpent King was at the Spirit Devour Realm. Regular warriors wouldn’t be able to stop it.

The suppression pushed Ye Mo backward, step by step.

This was Li Mengli’s first attack. Even if it wasn’t her strongest martial technique, it would be close. It was powerful enough to help Li Mengli push Ye Mo into a retreat, even though she was just in early-stage True Energy Realm.

When the onlookers saw Li Mengli’s powerful martial technique, they were shocked at her power.

“Hmph!” Ye Mo snorted and, with a howl, he unfurled his wings and soared into the sky, trying to dodge the Sea Serpent King’s attack.

But Ye Mo hadn’t expected that when the Sea Serpent King flew out of the sea, the sea had filled the entire field. If not for the energy barrier around the ring, even the viewers would be drowned by Li Mengli’s attack.

Under the influence of the sea, Ye Mo was losing control over his Dragon Power.

“Good. Very strong. Alas, still not my match,” Ye Mo roared and wrapped his Bright Dragon Power around his Sky Blood Spear. He decided to face the attack head-on. He stabbed out, his spear attack amplified four times. The sea covering the field was split in two.

After splitting the sea, Ye Mo walked forward and repeatedly swept his spear towards the Sea Power. He unleashed all 8,000 streams of his Bright Dragon Power, filling the air with the roars of dragons.

And thus, a man battled a serpent, a spectacular scene.

Against the large sea serpent, Ye Mo was fearless. At first, they were equally matched. But the more the battled, the stronger Ye Mo seemed to become, he was able to hit the sea serpent’s weak points several times.

“Die!” Finally, with a final stab to the sea serpent’s head, it vanished with a miserable whine.

With her marital technique destroyed, Li Mengli was forced to retreat several steps, her face turning pale.

She hadn’t expected Ye Mo to be this strong.

“You are indeed worthy of being my man. But do you really think you can defeat me?” Li Mengli looked at Ye Mo and wiped the blood off her lip.

“Li Mengli, give up,” Ye Mo said. “Even if you can unleash an even stronger martial technique, you still aren’t my match. I don’t want to hurt you.”

“Give up? If I give up, you’ll enter the finals. And, after entering the finals, regardless of the result, you’ll end up dead. I’ll never give up!” Li Mengli declared. She withdrew all the Sea Power, preparing to use her own strength this time, the Spirit Supreme that the emperor had infused into her body.
