Chapter 424: Nothing but Trash
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
A man stood in the center of the roof with his arms across his chest, exuding an air of arrogance, as if he was a god looking down on mortals.
This was the Luosha City, a place Ye Mo was unfamiliar with. Naturally, he did not want to create any trouble.
He immediately started to explain, “I merely wanted to give this place a visit, only for the guard’s student to inform me that only fighters in the Heaven’s Gate Realm are allowed to enter. Hence, I told them that I was able to defeat a fighter in the Heaven’s Gate Realm, which they did not believe, and started to attack me instead. That was why I knocked them out.”
“The nerve of you. This is what gives you the right to be so arrogant? A mere fighter in the intermediate stage of the True Energy Realm being able to defeat six fighters in the advanced stage of the True Energy Realm. Who do you think you are? How dare you attack them? Given your strength, you’re only good enough to do what you want in your city. How dare you display such arrogance even when facing us?” Another man shouted. As he spoke, he shot out a ray of True Energy sword attack from his finger that charged towards Ye Mo.
Glistening in the air, the sword attack, straight as a pen, set its target between Ye Mo’s eyes.
Watching the light blade attacking towards him, Ye Mo let out a burst of mocking laughter as he grabbed it with a single hand. With a squeeze, the light blade was instantly smashed into smithereens. The True Energy dissipated and turned into a light layer of mist in the sky.
“I’ve already explained myself, why are all of you making life difficult for me? I’ll be honest with you – the three of you combined won’t be able to take me down. I suggest you all retreat quickly. The Fall Test is coming up; I don’t want to waste any more time.”
Ye Mo raised his palm and blew a puff of air. In an instant, a small airflow was formed, blowing off all of the True Energy in his hand.
“This!”
The three elite students could not believe what they had just seen. The fighter who initiated the attack was in the intermediate stage of the Heaven’s Gate Realm. A finger sword attack, no matter how casual, was not something that a True Energy Realm fighter would be able to block. As for the fighters, who were all fellow fighters from various major cities, they were also completely shocked by what they had just witnessed.
The elite student said, “Kid, you got some moves on you. However, that was merely a glimpse of my true ability. Don’t tell me that you really think you can escape the combined efforts from all three of us?”
“Brother, with the Fall Test coming up and the city filled with so many fighters, no fighting is allowed in the Luosha City. Once you make a move, your right to participate will be revoked. Do not be hasty.”
Seeing that he was about to launch an attack, another elite student stepped in and said, “My name is Wang Tianxiao. We are not here to pick a fight with you. Once we do, we will lose our right to compete. Of course, I will not attack you under any circumstances. As for my two brothers here, that remains to be seen. You should think about it yourself.”
A shocked voice was suddenly heard amongst the crowd. “What? He is Wang Tianxiao? Legend has it that he is ranked fifth in the Luosha Institution. His strength is good enough to get him up to fourth place, but he has allowed Xing Lin, his beloved, to take that spot instead.”
“That’s right, I’ve seen him before. I saw him in the Fall Test last year, and he had already made it into the top hundred. Who knows how much he has improved after a year of training?”
“That’s him? I was unfortunate enough to meet him in the Fall Test last year. He was already in the Heaven’s Gate Realm’s intermediate stage back then. Even though I’m in the same stage and realm as him, he still managed to defeat me with a single blow.”
Hearing the ongoing commotion from the crowd, Ye Mo started to take a closer look at Wang Tianxiao as well. Someone capable of instantly defeating a fighter of the same realm tier as him definitely had some tricks up his sleeves. Now, his strength had already reached the peak of the Heaven’s Gate Realm. However, Ye Mo did not care about all these discussions.
“Don’t force my hand!” Ye Mo said calmly, a glimpse of killing intent seen floating within his eyes.
The third student said, “Forcing your hand? You are not worthy of forcing your hand. You struck a student of the Luosha Institution, which means that you’re challenging the honor and reputation of the institution, and the honor and reputation of Prince Luo Hun. This is not something we will tolerate.”

Wang Tianxiao waved his hand, signaling for him to stop talking. He continued, “Good kid with some guts on you. You must be here for the Fall Test as well. Who wouldn’t want to display their strength at the Fall Test? Even if you don’t win the token, those who perform well may still be recruited by various palace masters, and perhaps even by the royal officials. This is a rare opportunity. You must be a talent who has come here from some city in the Luosha Kingdom. This is your chance to rise up the ranks. Are you really going to waste a chance like this?”
Ye Mo scoffed. “If you want to fight, then let’s fight. What’s with all this chatter? Don’t think that I, Ye Mo, am scared of you all. Also, Wang Tianxiao, fight me if you think of yourself as a man. At most, we’ll lose our right to compete together. What’s wrong? Do you not dare to do it? Some courage this is, to be willing to let your companions lose their right to compete instead.”
“The nerve of you to talk to Brother Tianxiao like this. Do you know that saying those words has already sentenced you to death? What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get on your knees to apologize,” One of the elite students said.
“Apologize? He is nothing but trash. What’s wrong? Are you too afraid of making a move?”
Ye Mo mocked coldly.
Wang Tianxiao made it into the top hundred last year. After a whole year of new experiences and training, he must be fully prepared for the test this year. There was no way that he would dare to attack Ye Mo. Attacking Ye Mo would mean that he would lose his right to compete in the Fall Test.
“Good, you’re good. Wait till the Fall Test is over, and I, Wang Tianxiao, shall let you know the consequences of offending me. Let’s go.” With a hardened expression, Wang Tianxiao swiped his sleeve before leaving with the two elite students.
The people in the crowd all held faces of shock as they stared at Ye Mo. What a display of guts and sheer courage to call Wang Tianxiao trash to his face.
“That man is smart, agitating Wang Tianxiao intentionally, knowing that he would not have dared to attack him. Wang Tianxiao has been through hell-like training in preparation for this Fall Test. He was not going to lose his right to compete just to teach some nobody a lesson.”
“However, after the Fall Test ends, he’s doomed.”
The crowd was in a flurry of discussion before they eventually separated.
Ye Mo did not care about Wang Tianxiao’s threat at all. Waiting at a guesthouse, he prepared to return to his room.
“Ye Mo, you’re waiting for me?” A familiar voice was heard all of a sudden.
Ye Mo frowned and replied in a rather harsh tone, “I’m just making sure you’re not dead yet. Things will not end well if you get taken away by a Luosha Guard.”
He was indeed looking out for Zi Yi, waiting for her outside the guesthouse. The blood pool had been absorbed by him, and he would not be able to forgive himself if Zi Yi got into trouble because of that.
“You.” Zi Yi shook her head and smiled. “In the end, all thanks to you, the Luosha Emperor said that a fighter capable of absorbing all of the energy within the blood pool is naturally gifted, and is worthy of being nurtured. Luo Hun became his godson just because he managed to absorb three-quarters of the pool’s energy. Thinking that I absorbed the whole pool’s energy, he wants to take me in as his goddaughter.”
“Goddaughter?” Ye Mo finally understood why Luo Hun was so powerful. He had absorbed three-quarters of the blood pool’s energy and was also the Luosha Emperor’s godson.
“Indeed. I was thinking about accepting his offer. It’s good enough for me – at least I won’t fare worse than Luo Hun. It won’t be impossible to break into the Transcendence Realm within a year as well,” Zi Yi said, as if deep in thought.
Ye Mo smiled. “That’s pretty good. Who knows? Maybe after a few more years of training, you will be able to reclaim the East Dragon Kingdom.”
“Oh? Are you not going to chastise me for taking your reward? This is supposed to be yours.” Zi Yi was somewhat shocked deep down in her heart. She did not detect a hint of jealousy or anger in Ye Mo’s eyes.
“Luosha Kingdom is merely a pit stop for me. My final destination is the Door of Desolation – the holy land for martial fighters,” Ye Mo said with a face full of admiration.
“That’s why I rejected him!” Hearing Zi Yi’s words, even Ye Mo could not help but shake his head.
