The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

“Ye Mo, I accept my defeat. But what exactly was contained in that attack of yours for it to be so powerful?” asked Mu Feng doubtfully.

“I fused two different wills into the spear light. Moreover, my weapon is a Bejeweled Weapon,” said Ye Mo.

“What? Bejeweled Weapon?” Both Mu Feng and Mu Qing cried out at the same time. The term Bejeweled Weapon alone was sufficient to shock both of them. Even in a country like Luocha Kingdom, Bejeweled Weapons were rare. They had never even seen one with their own eyes before.

“That’s right. But you have to keep it a secret for me. With this weapon, I will definitely be victorious during the autumn examination.”

Early morning the next day, Ye Mo left for Luosha City on a dragon horse. Mu Qing and Mu Feng watched on as Ye Mo left.

“Some people’s hearts can never be captured. You are just a passing traveler in his life. Just keep this memory close in your heart,” said Mu Feng with a sigh.

“Father, you knew everything?” Mu Qing asked in astonishment.

“You think that little ploy can fool me? Your marriage night was fake, even the bloodstain on your bed sheet was fake.” Mu Feng hugged Mu Qing and said, “This Ye Mo is indeed a rare genius. He might be able to enter the Door of Desolation after all.”

When Mu Qing heard that, she gazed at Ye Mo far in distance and watched until Ye Mo vanished from her line of sight.

Hu!

After leaving Cloudsea City, Ye Mo immediately reigned in the horse. He then took out the map and confirmed his route before slapping the dragon horse’s bottom. The dragon horse whined before speeding off into the distance like a gale.

“With the speed of this dragon horse, I will need seven days and seven nights to reach Luosha City even if I travel without stop. I need to cross over 100 mountains and 1,000 cities along the way. This Luosha Kingdom is truly large.” The autumn examination was 10 days away. Therefore, Ye Mo had no choice but to rush there.

The autumn examination was unlike Qingyun League’s league war where there were strict requirements to participate in it. Rather, it was a competition that one could enter as long as one paid the registration fee. As long as one was no older than 20 years old, one could participate. And as long as one’s strength was outstanding, one could obtain the Luosha Token, obtaining the qualification to go to Door of Desolation.

Seven days journeying later, Ye Mo’s breathing was still smooth and steady. As for his mount, it was already tired to the point of dropping. Ye Mo shook his head helplessly and healed the horse with his Light of Glorious Sun before releasing it into the wild. He then shifted his gaze to the huge city that lay before him. This was the capital of Luosha Kingdom, the Luosha City. The Luosha City was also known as Luosha Ghost City as the Luosha Guards in the city all wore a ghost mask and Luosha armor, looking like a Luosha ghost.

Ye Mo gazed at Luosha City and headed forward without hesitation. The Luosha Guard at the city gate did not bar his way. After entering the city, he found that it was quite dark inside. It seemed like the sky above was always covered with dark clouds. But apart from that, the city looked like every other city. Streams of pedestrians moved around constantly, and every warrior around him looked remarkable. After looking around, Ye Mo selected a comparatively luxurious tavern and entered. Taverns would be the best place to gather information. At present, the tavern was packed with people. At a glance, most of them were warriors of about 20 years old. It was obvious they were all here for the autumn examination.

“Sigh, customer, our tavern is full. If you don’t mind, you can sit there. I will try asking the female customer if she minds,” said a waiter with a smile.

“Sure,” Ye Mo agreed. The tavern was indeed full and only one table still had an empty seat. There was currently a woman in purple seated at that table.

“Come with me, customer,” said the waiter as he led Ye Mo towards the woman in purple. With a smile, the waiter said, “Customer, sorry for disturbing. Do you mind sharing the table with this customer? Due to the autumn examination, there have been too many customers. Please consider it.”

“It’s not like I’m paying you less. Just send him off,” said the woman while sipping on her tea without raising her head.

“This…” the reply made the waiter awkward.

“Zi Yi, do you dislike me that much?” Ye Mo waved his hand, gesturing at the waiter to leave before speaking as he sat down on the seat.

“It’s you?” Zi Yi was flabbergasted. Evidently, she had not expected to see Ye Mo here.

“Of course it’s me. Looks like you’re also here for the autumn examination. Well, we might be opponents then,” said Ye Mo while pouring himself a cup of tea.

“You want to be my opponent? Can you even last till then?” said Zi Yi with a smile.

“What do you mean?” Ye Mo was doubtful.

“I already checked the rules of the autumn examination. It will be held at the Asura Field of Luosha City, and it will start at noon three days from now. But even though there are still three days, there are already about 10,000 participants,” said Zi Yi with a calm tone.

“What? About 10,000 participants?” Ye Mo was shocked.

“Yes. And over these three days, the number of participants will probably double. Do you think you can survive amid 20,000 geniuses of a high level kingdom like Luosha Kingdom before you encounter me in a match?” Zi Yi said indifferently before taking a sip at her tea.

“With 20,000 geniuses, the competition will take a long time, right?” Ye Mo asked in astonishment.

“You are indeed from a small kingdom. The Asura Field is about 30 square km in size. It was said to be a primordial battlefield that was eventually transformed by the Luosha Kingdom into the autumn examination battlefield. There are 100 rings on it, and with all 100 rings being used concurrently, the competition will end in one day,” Zi Yi explained.

“Looks like you have done your research,” said Ye Mo as he smacked his lips. His gaze first rested on her face before trailing down to the peaks on her chest. At that moment, the scene during the Luosha Blood Pool surfaced in his mind, causing him to nearly spit out his tea.

“I am someone who will get the Luosha Token. Of course I have to do my research. I can see that you are quite talented, but your cultivation level is too low. It will be a decent accomplishment for you to perhaps survive two or three rounds,” said Zi Yi, not realizing that Ye Mo was studying the twin mountains on her chest.

“Perhaps.” Ye Mo smiled and did not bother explaining himself.

“By the way, Ye Mo, do you want to go and do something with me?” As she asked, Zi Yi’s eyes suddenly lit up.

“What is it?” Ye Mo asked.

“It’s visiting the Luosha Academy of course. That is the most renowned academy of Luosha Kingdom, and within are the popular candidates to win the Luosha Tokens this year. We shall go gather information on our opponents. What do you think?” Zi Yi suggested.

Ye Mo’s eyes lit up when he heard that. Unknown enemies were the scariest kind of enemies. He would have more confidence during the autumn examination if he could gather more information first. With Ye Mo’s current strength, he was basically undefeated below the Heaven’s Strength Realm. He could even prove a match to an early-stage Heaven’s Strength Realm expert. The Luosha Kingdom was a large kingdom and the Luosha Academy was a top tier academy. It was probable that there were Heaven’s Strength Realm geniuses in the academy. If he could study his opponents beforehand, he could make his preparations against them.

“Sure, let’s go after I do my registration,” said Ye Mo.
