The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood-Chapter 966 - 967: An Easy Ascent to the Top

"Did I hear it wrong just now? What did Ye Mo say?"

"He wants to participate in the Longwen Hall assessment, ascend the Ascending Dragon Path, take the Dragon Ball, and enter Longwen Hall."

"How is that possible? There are less than one incense’s time remaining, how can he possibly reach the top of the Ascending Dragon Path?"

Upon hearing Ye Mo’s words, all the disciples were once again shocked.

Even a master of the Qiankun Ninth Rotation might not be able to directly reach the summit in such a short time, unless they’re a master of the Wheel of Reincarnation.

Yet this Ye Mo is only a Martial Artist of the Qiankun Fifth Rotation.

"Possible!"

After a long silence, the Ancestor finally nodded his head, secretly guessing that Ye Mo was still unwilling to give up the position of Clan Leader; entering Longwen Hall for cultivation meant gaining the eligibility to compete in the Lingwu Genius Battle.

This qualification only allows one person to compete; there are many martial artists in the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, but the regulations of the competition specify that the Seven Great Super-First-Rate Powers can each send only one participant; otherwise, all the top ranks might be monopolized by them.

If Ye Mo takes this qualification from Zi Aotian, naturally Zi Aotian would lose the chance to finish in the top three, thereby losing the eligibility to become the next Clan Leader.

But the Ancestor didn’t believe that Ye Mo could summit the Ascending Dragon Path in less than one incense’s time; not just the Ancestor, no one believed Ye Mo could do it.

"Arrogant fellow, only Qiankun Fifth Rotation, even if using Bloodline Power, not to mention an incense’s time, you couldn’t complete it in an hour."

Zi Xuan wasn’t convinced, coldly said, "At that time, don’t be directly oppressed off the Ascending Dragon Path by the pressure."

Zi Xuan seemed eager to see Ye Mo make a fool of himself, constantly belittling him.

Ye Mo looked at the distant Ascending Dragon Path, moved his body, instantly reaching the tail of the dragon, and immediately felt a pressure, but this pressure was like a feather on him, having no impact at all.

Swoosh!

Ye Mo bent his legs and sprang, his whole body jumping up like a cannonball, leaping tens of feet; this scene stunned everyone watching.

"Directly jumping on the Ascending Dragon Path; even Zi Aotian in the past couldn’t do that."

"Such fast speed; he’s climbing the Ascending Dragon Path as if jumping on flat ground; my God, what kind of person is he?"

"Am I seeing things? He’s even accelerating."

"Is this a test?"

Some disciples who had collapsed from exhaustion on the Ascending Dragon Path didn’t even notice Ye Mo’s presence, only feeling a gentle breeze pass by.

Everyone was holding their breath, eyes fixed on Ye Mo’s figure, witnessing him succeed in reaching the dragon’s head in less than half a burning incense’s worth of time.

"He, he actually reached the summit in half a burning incense’s worth of time?"

Looking at Ye Mo’s figure, even the Ancestor standing at the peak of the continent couldn’t help but take a deep breath, his ruby eyes full of disbelief and astonishment.

At this moment, the crowd on the stands was silent, the scene immersed in silence.

This immersion lasted for a moment, and the entire Ancient Azure Dragon Clan plunged into chaos.

"He truly did it."

Even someone as tough as Zi Xuan had to admit it; she had tried the Ascending Dragon Path herself and knew it wasn’t something ordinary martial artists could climb. Now, this guy who spoke boldly had completed it with just a few leaps.

"How is this possible?"

Zi Aotian, Zi Long, Zi Xing, all faced that scene with disbelief etched on their faces.

Even an average Wheel of Reincarnation Realm master might not be able to reach the summit with such ease.

"Ancestor, now I’ve passed the Longwen Hall assessment, I qualify to practice in Longwen Hall and compete for the Lingwu Genius Battle qualification."

Ye Mo, clutching the Dragon Ball, descended directly from the skies.

"Good, Ye Mo has successfully ascended the Ascending Dragon Path under all the clan’s witness, passing the Longwen Hall assessment."

The Ancestor was delighted, shouting loudly.

"Then I must thank the Ancestor for making it happen."

Ye Mo promptly bowed in gratitude.

The Ancestor had betrothed Zi Xuan to him, but he didn’t care.

However, he could clearly feel his mother’s desire to become the Clan Leader; in life, one must have pursuits. As long as one relies on their own efforts, nothing can’t be fought for.

As a son, naturally he must contribute some effort for his mother.

"Alright, we old folks are tired too, let’s disperse now."

The Ancestor said, preparing to leave.

"Ancestor, Aotian has something to say."

Zi Aotian stood up, bowed, and spoke.

"Oh?"

The Ancestor raised his eyebrow, mostly guessing what Zi Aotian intended to do.

"Ye Mo chose to enter Longwen Hall now, simply to compete with me for the Lingwu Genius Battle qualification. Today I challenge him, whoever wins will represent the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan in the Lingwu Genius Battle."

Zi Aotian coldly said, "The loser will have to avoid walking past the winner in the future."

"Quite a challenge, Zi Aotian; do you know you’re challenging a Qiankun Fifth Rotation’s strength?"

At this moment, Zi Ning laughed coldly.

Ye Mo’s eyes slowly swept over Zi Aotian; he hadn’t expected his opponent to challenge him at this moment.

Though confident to spar with the opponent, outright victory seemed impossible.

"I don’t think he has Qiankun Fifth Rotation strength; able to summit the Ascending Dragon Path in less than half incense’s time."

Zi Aotian sneered, "Of course, if he isn’t willing to accept the challenge, then the Lingwu Genius Battle participant can only be me, Zi Aotian."

"Aotian, you’re absurd, come back here."

Zi Long deliberately scolded, "Ye Mo is a rare bloodline genius of our Ancient Azure Dragon Clan in millennia, how can he duel you? Even if he represents the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan in the competition, so what? Would others think our Ancient Azure Dragon Clan is surnamed Ye?"

"These father and son are truly scheming, condemning me to death with a few words."

Ye Mo laughed coldly inwardly, even if he had no confidence now to defeat Zi Aotian, even if he had, and won, it might not grant tournament entry. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

As Zi Long stated, a Ye surnamed individual representing the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan in Lingwu Genius Battle would definitely be a source of ridicule, impacting the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan’s reputation and honor.

"Zi Aotian, you’re overthinking; I entered Longwen Hall merely to cultivate there. As for Lingwu Genius Battle, naturally you are the most suitable to participate."

Ye Mo calmly said, staring fiercely at Zi Aotian, "However, I, Ye Mo, have faced countless challenges in my life, never retreating. Today I challenge you, a month from now, duel at Longwen Peak! Bet on honor in a battle!"

Ye Mo’s words were like a deep-water bomb, exploding onsite; this Ye Mo unexpectedly retreated first, then advancing, actively challenging Zi Aotian, truly catching them off guard.
