The round ended, interrupting their confrontation.
Everyone in the round was transported out and the Heaven Origin Mirror vanished.
The two remaining members of Qingyun League successfully advanced to the next round, while the three from Wushuang League and the three from the kingdom advanced as well.
Tiandi League had suffered a crushing defeat, their strongest league member defeated by Ye Mo.
Ye Mo was the dark horse in the competition. And after the first round, everyone had a new respect for him.
“Excellent. The first round has been very exciting,” Cao Zhengchun’s voice rang out. “The second round will consist of single-elimination matches that will last two days. Today, the top four will be selected, and tomorrow, the champion will be decided. He will inherit the title of number one genius of Tianwu Kingdom from the emperor, and will be rewarded with Cosmos Qi and Thundergod Armor. The eight qualifying contestants will be randomly assigned to their opponents. Don’t be surprised if you wind up fighting your own teammates.”
“First match: Qingyun League’s Ye Mo against Chen Clan Army’s Chu Ge!” The announcement shocked the crowd.
During the first round, Chu Ge hadn’t gotten a chance to fight, but he was still the most talented individual in the Chen Clan Army and one of the top picks to win the competition. He once relied on his own strength to suppress the rebellion of the krakens, and he was terrifyingly strong.
“Ye Mo, we’re finally fighting each other!” Chu Ge stepped towards Ye Mo and smiled.
“I said before that I’d have a taste of your strength during the league war,” Ye Mo said calmly. He wasn’t terribly impressed by the kraken rebellion victory. “I’m a little surprised we’re meeting in the first match. I know Chen Yanzhi is watching the match. If you win, she’ll definitely change her mind about you. Unfortunately, I have to become the champion. I won’t hold back.”
“Hmph. Hold back?” Chu Ge said coldly, with all the arrogance of a top genius. “Are you even strong enough to hold back? Yanzhi’s man must be one in a million. I’m not even 20 years old and I’m already a general. I’m of higher rank than you and today I’ll prove to Yanzhi that I’m stronger than you as well.”
“Aren’t you afraid of your words coming back to haunt you?” Ye Mo said with a sneer.
“Die!” Chu Ge didn’t say anything else. He drew the Hellghost Sword from his back and slashed forward. A gigantic, black, flaming ghost head formed above Ye Mo. The ghost head opened its mouth and started inhaling the energy in the air. Ye Mo felt his energy, and the Bright Dragon Power in his Energy Center, being pulled out of his body.
“He’s really trying to devour my energy? Is my Rising Dragon Pillar just for decoration?” Ye Mo thought as he activated his Rising Dragon Pillar and stabilized the energy within his body. He was ready to unleash his full strength.
During his battle with Cao Zheng earlier, Ye Mo had held back. He had merely been relying on the raw power of Bright Dragon Power to fight and he hid some of his exquisite martial techniques. For example, the wills he knew, the fusion of wills, his cultivation heart, his selflessness, and his Glorious Sun Power, all of those had not been revealed.
If he decided to use them all, he’d show everyone how scarily strong he was.
“Will of Slaughter, Will of the Chu Killing Spear, destroy everything!” Ye Mo abruptly unleashed his spear skills and channeled all 8,000 streams of Bright Dragon Power in his body onto the Dragon Spear. His spear reeked with a sensation of bloodlust and slaughter.
“Chu Ge, if you think I used my full strength when I fought Cao Zheng earlier, you should just give up now.” Ye Mo needed to end this as quickly as he could. After this match, he still had two matches tomorrow. He had to save some strength to deal with Cao Zheng.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
He stabbed seven times, each attack direct and decisive, shattering the ghost face into pieces.
“Haha, if that really was your full strength, this fight’ll be boring.” Chu Ge howled with laughter when he saw Ye Mo using his spear wills. The Hellghost Sword flew from his hand and transformed into a huge tombstone in midair. A horde of ghosts crawled out of the tombstone. In the blink of an eye, Ye Mo was surrounded by ghosts.
“Dark Hell!” In the VIP seats, the energy shrouds around the important individuals started trembling when they witnessed this scene.
“That Chu Ge is truly quite impressive. He’s using the strongest move of the Hellghost Sword Technique. It’s rumored that the Hellghost Sword is a Spirit Weapon that’s survived since ancient times. It’s a Ghost Weapon, filled with Ghostfire, and it doesn’t fear even Hellfire.”
“Although the Hellghost Sword is a mid-grade Spirit Weapon, it’s no weaker than a high-grade Spirit Weapon. But Ye Mo is also quite impressive to be able to force Chu Ge into using this sword technique with only an energy spear he formed himself.”
“That Ye Mo is remarkable. If he can win this tournament, there’s no telling where he’ll go.”
“Ye Mo, those ghosts are true evil spirits,” Chu Ge said. “Show me how you plan to stop them. If you can’t, concede. Otherwise, you won’t like the consequences of having them invade your body.” With a wave of his hands, the countless ghosts started screeching and, carrying clumps of Ghostfire, charged Ye Mo.
Against such an attack, most True Energy Realm warriors or even some Heaven’s Gate Realm warriors would feel a great sense of suppression. Each of the ghosts brought with them an aura from hell, and when a ghost stuck to a person, it would be very hard to get rid of. And if the ghost was able to enter someone’s body, it would be even worse.
In the first round, Chu Ge hadn’t done anything at all. But now, in the second round, he was shining brightly.
All three of the competitors from Wushuang League were shocked when they saw his attack. Zhao Huan frowned and started wondering if she could stop this attack if she was in Ye Mo’s place.
Ye Mo’s friends grew anxious watching the fight. This attack could end up killing him.
Seeing the ghosts, Ye Mo remained calm. He didn’t seem to have any intention to flee.
“Chu Ge, this is your strongest attack? Hell?” he said. “Powerful indeed. But, ultimately, it’s the power of evil. Let me show you what true power is.”
Ye Mo roared and, right as the ghosts reached him, punched out, the Light of Glorious Sun erupting with a dazzling radiance from his fist. The divine and majestic white radiance filled the area.
Miserable screeches resounded in the air. Under the Light of Glorious Sun, the ghosts were reduced to nothingness. The Hellghost Sword fell from the sky.
“How is that possible? How is that possible?” Chu Ge couldn’t believe his ghosts were defeated.
A battle between powerhouses could be decided in an instant. Chu Ge the arrogant had never expected Ye Mo to turn the tide with a single move.
“Nothing is impossible. Even if you’d won, Chen Yanzhi might not like you, and even though you lost, Chen Yanzhi might not dislike you,” Ye Mo said and slowly walked out of the ring, ignoring Chu Ge.
“First match: victory goes to Qingyun League’s Ye Mo!”
