Chapter 425: The Fall Test Begins
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
For the next two days, Ye Mo continuously familiarized himself with the Realm of Death displayed by the Sky Blood Spear, his spear techniques also maturing as a result.
As for Ye Mo and Zi Yi’s friendship, they became more and more bonded as well – the two of them came from similar backgrounds and had entered the blood pool at the same time. One would not be wrong in saying that they were somewhat fated to be friends.
“Ye Mo, are you confident of taking the Luosha Token?” Zi Yi’s tone still contained a certain degree of doubt.
“Don’t worry about me, I’m only worried about you being eliminated.” Ye Mo replied playfully, seeing Zi Yi’s expression of uncertainty.
However, Ye Mo was still largely unclear about Zi Yi’s actual strength. There was a hint of mystery surrounding her. Even if Ye Mo could awaken the Realm of Death now, he was still not confident of defeating her.
Carrying the expectations of millions, the Fall Test – Luosha Kingdom’s most valuable competition – had come.
By the afternoon, the Luosha Battle Arena that was hundreds of meters wide had been completely cleared out with 100 giant stages. There was already a massive crowd surrounding the battle arena. This level of excitement was not something that the league war could hold a candle to.
The Luosha Battle Arena had 100 passageways. The 22,000 fighters participating in the Fall Test were led into the center of the arena via these 100 passageways. Following that, with the Luosha Guards’ guidance, they entered the battle arena. 22,000 fighters being split into 100 sections – this was an event of extreme scale. However, this was not what the participants cared for at all. They only had one mission – to defeat their opponents.
Zi Yi and Ye Mo were not in the same section, which meant that there was a chance that they would meet in the competition.
“Everyone, all of you here are the elites among the elites from various cities of the Luosha Kingdom. I do not have to speak more about the purpose of competing in this test – so long as you can defeat your opponent and make it past all the challenges, you shall be able to take the Luosha Token in my hand. With the Luosha Token, you will be able to head towards where all fighters covet to go – the Door of Desolation.” A bright voice was heard around the whole battle arena all of a sudden. This voice carried a hint of pressurizing aura atop his energetic tone, infecting everyone with excitement as well.
“This is the Luosha Emperor?” Ye Mo stood at his competitive section and instantly locked onto where the voice was coming from. However, he could not see his appearance at all. His appearance was blurry, and if one tried to get a clearer view, that blurry appearance turned into the face of a Luosha Ghost.
However, Ye Mo could detect a feeling of generosity and kindness in the words of the Luosha Emperor, something that he could not detect from the Tianwu Emperor. The gulf of difference between the two kingdoms ultimately depended on their respective emperors.
“The competition will be carried out via randomized stages. Your competition card will automatically bring you to the stage. Now, let the Fall Test begin!” As those words were spoken, the whole battle arena fell into complete silence!
Following that, Ye Mo’s competition card gave off a slight red glow. The red light exploded, engulfing Ye Mo’s entire body. In the next moment, Ye Mo appeared on top of a stage. As for his opponent, he also showed up creepily.
Ye Mo looked around him – the hundred stages all had fighters on them already, with some fighters already starting to brawl against each other.
“I am Mo Lang of the Luosha Kingdom’s Mowu Cave. I suggest you surrender – I don’t want to bully a fighter in the True Energy Realm.” The opponent before Ye Mo’s eyes was a fighter in the initial stage of the Heaven’s Gate Realm. With a tough and wild-looking appearance and clenched teeth, he resembled an actual wolf. There was even a hint of a wolf aura with him as he spoke, asking Ye Mo to surrender.
Ye Mo replied calmly, “I don’t want to bully you either. Let’s fight!”
With the opponent only in the initial stage of the Heaven’s Gate Realm, this fight was not even worth Ye Mo’s time. Angered by Ye Mo’s words, Mo Long started to attack. As he struck, he saw a ray of sword aura flying towards him. He swiped at the attack with his claw, apparently not expecting Ye Mo’s attack to be this vicious.
Kacha!
The moment his claw came into contact with the sword aura, he felt an unstoppable force charging towards him. He did not even have the time to be surprised as his whole body was sent flying back. Lying on the stage, he coughed out mouthful after mouthful of blood.
A fighter in the initial stage of the Heaven’s Gate Realm defeated with a single move.
With one hand, Ye Mo pushed Mo Long down the stage, where two Luosha Guards instantly showed up to take him away. Ye Mo returned to the waiting area. He was the only one in the waiting area, with other fighters still in the midst of a hard battle – fighters capable of ending their opponents with a single move like Ye Mo were extremely rare.
With a sweeping gaze across the stages, Ye Mo could detect True Energy being unleashed in all areas, with the sheer number of martial techniques being displayed difficult for one to keep up with. Not long after, fighters were being transported out of the stages one by one – some were directly eliminated as they left with disappointment, while others had confident smiles on their faces. The first round of competition came to a close after a few minutes, with 10,000 fighters eliminated.
“Luosha Emperor, the first round of competition has ended. Our Luosha Institution had 10,000 participants, with 9000 advancing to the next round. Talents from other cities and regions have 1000 who have advanced.” One of the Luosha Guard donning the Luosha Mask reported to the man beside him.
“Hmm, not bad. The Luosha Institution’s overall strength is gradually growing. They represent the strength of our nation. Last year, there were 8000 participants. It’s a shame that only half of them advanced to the next round,” The Luosha Emperor said before he waved his arm, signaling the start of the second round of the competition.
Immediately, a long drumming noise was heard, cueing the start of the second round of the competition.
Ye Mo was once again transported to a stage, as was his opponent for the second round. His next opponent was a girl with a cute appearance. With her hair tied up in a ponytail, she appeared to be younger than Ye Mo. However, her strength had already reached the intermediate stage of the Heaven’s Gate Realm.
“I hope to learn from you!” The girl seemed somewhat shy, her voice gentle as she bowed to Ye Mo as a sign of respect.
“Same here!” Ye Mo smiled. He could sense some resemblance of Xiao Cao when he looked at her.
“Then I shall show no mercy.” As she spoke, the girl grabbed a giant mallet which had the picture of a dragon deity on it. Imbued with True Energy, she sent out an incomparable force as she swung her mallet. Striking the mallet with both hands, the strike pierced through the air with explosion after explosion as it struck down upon Ye Mo.
Too entranced by the girl, Ye Mo did not move a muscle. It was only when the hammer was striking down on his head did Ye Mo finally react. Surprised, Ye Mo leaned backwards immediately, dodging her attack. Reaching out, he directly grabbed hold of the girl’s delicate wrist and lightly exerted some pressure. The girl let out a pained scream as she dropped her giant mallet.
Ye Mo released her hand and said with a smiling face, “You’ve lost, little girl!”
“Big brother, you are so strong – a fighter in the intermediate stage of the True Energy Realm, but you were able to capture me with a single move. All the best! Don’t let the Luosha Institution members take advantage of you.” With her face slightly reddened, the girl jumped down from the stage herself.
