Yan Shihan completed the test, undoubtedly becoming the luckiest old league member. As she walked off the arena, the other older league members in the Outer League continued to queue up for their test in the center of the arena. After an hour, the older league members were done with their strength tests as well.

“Next, the test of strength for the new batch of league members. Based on their reports, they are stronger than the past few cohorts as a whole. Therefore, the elders have arranged a new test for them.”

As the voice of the host sounded again from the center of the arena, a few of the older league members in the Outer League were in intense discussion regarding what the new test was about.

“I heard that there is an Energy Shaping Third Realm fighter and three Spirit Cultivating Eighth Realm fighters who have successfully entered the Qingyun League from this batch of new league members.”

“Looks like this batch of league members is indeed stronger than us as a whole.”

“Who knows which lucky members will be recruited by the three sub-leagues and which members will be handpicked by the elders.”

The arena was extremely big. The giant Seal Stone was already being taken away as the host spoke, leaving a wide open space.

“Ye Mo, for this strength test, since you have successfully advanced to the Energy Shaping First Realm, you will definitely be able to defeat an Energy Shaping Fourth Realm fighter and shock everyone.” Ling Xue was slightly nervous, but excited at the same time. She was mostly nervous because of the scale of the occasion – this was bigger than the entry test – and excited because of Ye Mo’s upcoming performance.

This was Ling Xue’s first time participating in a competition of this scale, though it was considered the most common test in the Qingyun League.

“I’m certain that I will be able to defeat an Energy Shaping Fourth Realm fighter – not sure if Ye Changsheng can as well. If he fails, then there won’t nothing to boast about being the Xuan Ji chief,” said Ye Mo.

Ling Xue had heard about the history of hatred between Ye Mo and Ye Changsheng. It was completely Ye Changsheng’s doing that led to Ye Mo being sent to the Legal Division. For this reason, she had an extremely strong sense of hatred towards Ye Changsheng as well.

“Even if he can do it, he is still no match for you,” said Ling Xue.

“The Xuan Ji chief regards Ye Changsheng so highly – I wonder if she will show up. I heard that she has already reach the peak of her powers in the Spirit Devour Realm – how strong is that exactly?” Ye Mo felt some excitement as well. Even if the Xuan Ji chief did come, it was certain that she would be hidden somewhere instead of revealing herself.

A bright voice could be heard in the arena again.

“We will be picking 10 Energy Shaping Fourth Realm fighters from the Inner League. New league members, if feel that you have the ability to challenge the disciples in the Inner League, there are only 10 slots. Those who are confident in sparring 10 moves with the Inner League brothers, stand up now!”

There was a huge gap between Energy Shaping Third Realm and Fourth Realm, and that meant there was a massive difference in power levels! It would require a fighter of a certain potential level to be able to spar 10 moves with a Fourth Realm fighter.

As soon as the announcement was made, Yao Yue said, “I’m obliged to remind all of you – do not overestimate your own abilities.”

The new batch of Outer League members looked around in all directions and following that, a green shadow was seen walking forward: it was the lady clad in green, the only Energy Shaping Third Realm fighter.

The Hu brothers, Hu Batian and the Hu Bahu, followed suit.

“Don’t tell me Ye Changsheng is not going for it?”

Seeing Ye Changsheng’s hesitance, Ye Mo felt a sense of suspicion.

The Energy Shaping Second Realm fighters who came in second and third in the Qingyun League entry test stepped forward as well, with Ye Mo doing the same.

There were already six people who had stepped forward in the arena – the Energy Shaping Third Realm lady in green, three Energy Shaping Second Realm members, with Ye Mo and Hu Batian being the two fighters in the Energy Shaping First Realm.

Following that, two more fighters in the Energy Shaping Second Realm stepped forward.

“I shall give it a try too!” Ye Changsheng slowly walked forward, arms behind his back.

It took huge courage for Energy Shaping Second Realm fighters to challenge their Fourth Realm counterparts. Furthermore, there were two First Realm fighters. Ye Mo and Hu Batian attracted plenty of attention.

“Since there are nine people participating in the challenge, the last slot shall be forfeited!”

Just as the announcement was made, Ye Changsheng raised his hand, saying, “Since 10 of our seniors were invited here, it would be disrespectful to let them go just like that. I shall challenge two of them!”

“What? What is that guy saying?”

“He wants to challenge two Energy Shaping Fourth Realm fighters?”

“Is he out of his mind? That guy is only an Energy Shaping Second Realm fighter – it would be impressive enough if he could endure 10 moves from an Energy Shaping Fourth Realm fighter. Can he really defeat two Fourth Realm fighters?”

Everyone was in utter shock. The new league member before their eyes was way too arrogant.

The few elders sitting on the platform started to check Ye Changsheng out. He had an imposing vibe about him, and his aura was also stronger than normal Energy Shaping Second Realm fighters. With a long sword on his back, he was definitely unique from the rest.

“So this is the young man that Xuan Ji saw potential in? I heard she is putting a lot of effort in nurturing him. He looks nothing special to me though,” said Elder Qiu Shan.

“Energy Shaping Second Realm is considered average. If he can really defeat two Fourth Realm fighters, then he will really be something special. Who knows how much effort that Xuan Ji brat has invested in this youngster,” said Elder Feng.

“A simple look and you can tell that the girl in green is unique. She moves with the wind, as if combining herself with her surroundings. With an expressionless look on her face, it seems like nothing happening around her concerns her,” another elder added.

“Since Ye Changsheng has requested to challenge two Energy Shaping Fourth Realm fighters, his request shall be granted. The other league members, leave the area first!”

After the host spoke, Ye Mo and the rest of the fighters moved to one side as Ye Changsheng slowly walked towards the middle of the arena and stood in front of two Energy Shaping Fourth Realm Inner League members.

“Newbie, how arrogant of you to challenge the two of us. Our strength levels may not be at our peaks, but that doesn’t mean you will be able to challenge the both of us. Since you wish for death, don’t blame us for not showing mercy,” one of the Inner League member threatened.

“Two swords!” Ye Changsheng raised up two fingers.

“What?” The Inner League members did not understand what Ye Changsheng was saying. With sunken faces, they asked, “What are you saying?”

“I am not looking to die.” Ye Changsheng suddenly drew out the sword from his back. The sword was still wrapped in a white cloth, but his body posture was straight and imbed with confidence. Adding on a sinister smile, he attracted the attention of plenty of female league members. “I only want two swords – one for each of you. Then, I can attack both of you!”

“Kid, you are overly arrogant!” The two Inner League Members were furious. With a ferocious, competitive flame lit up within them, all they wanted now was to immediately defeat Ye Changsheng.

A booming sound was heard as the aura of the two members expanded, every beam of aura easily capable of overpowering an Energy Shaping Third Realm fighter. The two of them unleashed their powers and attacked Ye Changsheng.

This attack shook the ground and twisted the air.

However, just as the two of them initiated their attack, Ye Changsheng’s weapon in his hand flashed and glowed as well, causing fiery beams to rise from all directions. The white cloth around the sword instantaneously turned into ashes, showing a Centurion Sword. Wild burning flames surrounded Ye Changsheng as the whole area was filled with a flaming light!

“Spirit of Hellfire!” Ye Mo clenched his fists as he looked at the weapon.
