Chapter 168: The Test Begins

Ye Changsheng’s arrival did not attract the attention of many. To the trainees, a fighter in the Energy Shaping First Realm was average.

However, for the Outer League members in the Qingyun League, they looked at Ye Changsheng with the utmost admiration. Even Yun Shan looked at him, his previous arrogance vanishing into thin air.

This minor detail was caught by the eye of Ye Mo. It appeared that Ye Changsheng had already received high recognition in the Qingyun League.

“How did the league chief in the Qingyun League end up handpicking Ye Changsheng? Sure, he has decent talent, but compared to the other clan members, he is merely average. He is jumping above his station – even I wouldn’t need to fear him.”

Ye Mo felt something in his heart, followed by Ye Changsheng glancing towards him with a slight smile before he walked into nowhere.

The anxious wait was finally over, the grey sky brightening up once again. Everyone was extremely excited, as if they had been injected with adrenaline. The league entry test was finally about to begin.

Yao Yue flew to the highest mountain top, her voice crisp and clear as she announced, “Trainee league members of the Eastern region cities will be brought to the Eastern entrance of the Unbreakable Mountain by these members, the Western region ones through the Western entrance, and the same for the North-South regions. Once everyone has arrived, I shall inform the Qingyun League’s Seal Artist to activate the magical formation, marking the officially beginning of the test. Is everyone clear?”

“Clear!” The disciples said in unison.

“As your main invigilator, I hope to see all of you again!” said Yao Yue, as she expanded her snow-white wings and disappeared into the sky.

Whoosh!

The four groups of people charged in four different directions, with Ye Mo charging towards the Western direction. Ling Xue, Li Suifeng, and Tong Qian were among the group, as was Ye Changsheng.

Ye Mo swept his gaze across the group of members in the Western region – not a single Energy Shaping Second Realm fighter.

The Eastern region was a place of luxury, which included the Imperial Tianyong City. The North-South region got a slight influence from the East, with the Western region considered the weakest.

Weaving through the mountains and forests of the Unbreakable Mountain, the team stopped not long after.

“This is the entrance for the Western region!” The league members leading the group said. They stopped in their tracks and pointed towards the canyon in front of them.

One could only truly consider to have completely entered the Unbreakable Mountain after entering the canyon. Inside, the mountain roads were winding, the areas were forested, and the roads were extremely narrow.

“The test is about to begin. How exciting. Once I get into the Qingyun League, the status of my family clan is sure to rise!”

“Hehe, same for me. My father told me that he would give me his great energy weapon if he managed to get into the Qingyun League.”

“That’s nothing. If I entered the Qingyun League, I will be able to openly propose to my girlfriend in the Zhao family.”

Plenty of talents from the Western regions started talking about the various benefits of getting into the Qingyun League.

The league member stood beside them could not help but also recall such an experience in this younger years upon hearing their conversation.

Suddenly, a long arrow powered by an energy force shot into the sky, sending everyone into a moment of shock. This was the signal to enter the Unbreakable Mountain.

“The test officially begins. All the best!” said one of the older league members.

Hearing this, the trainees in the Western region rushed into the Unbreakable Mountain at full speed without any further ado. Ling Xue and his company, seeing Ye Mo’s impressive fighting abilities, decided to stay behind him, while the others went their separate ways.

They would be enemies the next time they met!

“Let’s hurry directly towards center of the Unbreakable Mountain!” said Ye Mo as he saw more and more people disappear from the entrance.

“Straight towards the center of the Unbreakable Mountain? Are you insane?” Ling Xue replied, shocked. “Don’t think that there are only trainees participating in the league entry test in this Unbreakable Mountain – there are plenty of strong monsters too. The closer to the center of the mountain, the stronger the monsters. Legend has it that the monsters in the deepest core of the mountain are in the Energy Shaping Third or Fourth Realm. If we end up meeting these monsters, we won’t even have the chance to escape.”

“Monsters in the Energy Shaping Third Realm?” Ye Mo’s eyes brightened up. Those kind of monsters were ideal training partners for him.

Based on his strength, he might not win, but if he wanted to escape, he could do so completely unscathed.

With his mind made up, Ye Mo turned as he said, “The three of you have two sets of union passes altogether, correct?”

“Correct. Including the three passes that you gave each of us, we have two sets of Qingyun League Sanzi Union Passes,” said Li Suifeng.

“How about this, I’ll give a set of union passes to all of you, and the three of you find a safer place to hide. I shall steal another set of union passes, and by that time, with the level of competition lower, we shall venture into the center of the Unbreakable Mountain.”

As Ye Mo spoke, he took out three passes from his Dimensional Bracelet and handed them to the three of them. Without a word more, he disappeared in front of them with a shift of his body.

“This… we haven’t even started the test, and the three of us have already gotten the union passes we need!” Li Suifeng smiled wryly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

In the heavily forested jungle, there were giant trees up to multiple hundreds of yars tall, soaring upwards into the sky, with the ground covered with withered leaves and the air engulfed with fog. There was a subtle hint of a few extremely strong monsters patrolling the forest.

Ye Mo climbed up a few yard of one tree after another, and just as he was about to take a breather, a wave of pungent wind crashed towards him.

Instantaneously turning his head back, Ye Mo saw a giant python with a body as thick as his waist, with its tongue shooting out of its bloody mouth. The stomach of the python was extremely fatty – it appeared that it had just swallowed a prey and was still in the process of digesting it.

The python’s scales displayed a gentle golden glow, extremely intricate, as if it was made of metal.

“This python must have already reached the Energy Shaping First Realm!”

Ye Mo’s body soon became a silhouette as he leapt up, directing jumping onto another giant tree, escaping the python’s attack.

The python, seemingly shocked by Ye Mo being able to dodge its attack, revealed a look with a hint of shock in its triangular eyes. Following that, it opened its mouth wide as a beam of energy gathered, forming a huge black Energy Long Spear.

The long spear pierced through the air, the force comparable to an arrow shot out from a bow, with the ability to pierce through anything.

Boom!

With a spear strike from Ye Mo, a million-year frost spearhead landed on the long spear, causing it to freeze instantly into an icicle.

The giant python was in a huge shock. It had evidently underestimated the power of the man in front of his eyes. It twisted its body left and right as it tried to escape in the opposite direction.

But how was Ye Mo going to let it off? With a strike of his spear, a light blade shot up, directly landing on the head of the creature, instantaneously ending the life of the Energy Shaping First Realm python.

In the wilderness, with Ye Mo fully displaying his Giant Dragon Powers, even if he did not use the Sky Blood Spear, it was enough for him to defeat a fighter in the Energy Shaping Second Realm.

Slaughtering the python was an easy feat.

“Eh?” Ye Mo let out a surprised noise. Watching the python puff its body, the strike from his Sky Blood Spear had split open the stomach of the python. Following that, a couple embraced in each other’s arms slid out of the python’s abdomen, their body covered with a glowing, sticky liquid.
