Ling Xue’s personality was similar to that of Leng Leng, but she was a bit more narcissistic.
“None of you will win even if all of you fight with me together. You better not trouble yourself. I met Li Suifeng before by coincidence, so how about teaming up and joining the exam together?” Ye Mo smiled.
“You b*stard! Passing the Illusion Circle in the City of Daughters? So what? We are all Energy Shaping Third Realm martial artists. We can certainly defeat you with all of our combined efforts.” Still unconvinced, Ling Xue waved her arms as she shouted.
“Haha! So there are candidates who arrived earlier than us coming from Fire Dragon City!”
As a prideful laughter sounded, five streams of fiery red shadows rushed forward and landed in front of Ye Mo. These five individuals were all dressed in red, and they were the candidates from Fire Dragon City.
Among these five aces, three of them had reached the Energy Shaping First Realm and two of them were half a step before the Energy Shaping First Realm.
The candidates representing Limestone City last year only reached the Spirit Cultivating Fifth Realm or Sixth Realm. There was no doubt they had failed the exam.
Even candidates from a random city were only half a step before the Energy Shaping First Realm.
The disparity in power between cities resulted in power difference between the candidates they selected. Powerful candidates like Ye Qing and Ye Mo were exceptions.
The conflict between Ye Mo and Ling Xue was interrupted by the candidates from Fire Dragon City.
The nine individuals looked at each other with veiled judgments in each of their minds. As Ye Mo seemed to be the weakest among them, the five martial artists from Fire Dragon City stared at him suspiciously.
The two teams made camps and campfirea separately. The atmosphere became tense before the exam even started.
Ye Mo befriended the three persons from Tianxiang Society. Ling Xue glared at Ye Mo furiously while Tong Qian harboured suspicious intentions. Only Li Suifeng grinned when he interacted with Ye Mo.
“Haha! Ye Mo, it seems like you have no idea of the rules in this exam,” Li Suifeng said.
“I’d love to hear about them,” Ye Mo said
“Take a look at this.” Li Suifeng took out a token from his Dimensional Bracelet, which was the Alliance Token of the Qingyun Alliance. Ye Mo also had one, but Li Suifeng’s token had the word “Yun” engraved on it.
“An Alliance token? I have one too, but my token has the word ‘Qing.’ Why is there such a difference?” Ye Mo asked in surprise.
“There are three kinds of tokens: Qing, Yun, and Alliance tokens. Different candidates have tokens with different words. In order to pass the exam, the candidate needs to rob the tokens from others. Only after collecting tokens with all three words and arriving at the Magical Formation at the center of the Unbreakable Mountain will a candidate be able to officially enter the Qingyun Alliance.”
Li Suifeng taught Ye Mo about the rules of exam.
Ye Mo remained expressionless. Under this rule, at least two-thirds of candidates will be disqualified during the exam.
Some candidates were strong enough to collect more than three tokens as the three candidates who obtained most tokens would receive other awards.
There would not be too many candidates left after the competition.
“This exam is absurdly difficult. What are the words on your token?” Ye Mo asked out of curiosity.
“I am not telling you what my token says,” Ling Xue said.
“Ye Mo, you don’t seem to have a good understanding of the rules. Normally, we would not tell others what tokens we own. It would be troubling if somebody knew what tokens he could get from me.”
Ye Mo nodded and found that reasonable. At the campfire far away, the five candidates from Fire Dragon City were staring at Ye Mo greedily.
“Brother, can you hear what they are talking about?” One of the candidates asked.
“Don’t bother me! I am using the hearing technique which can listen to sounds from a mile away. I can hear every word they’re saying. But don’t talk beside me as it will break my eardrum.”
The man who was called brother focused on listening to the conversation on Ye Mo’s side. As his ear moved upwards and downwards, soundwaves moved towards it.
“That boy of the Spirit Cultivating Ninth realm has the Alliance token. Among the five of us, we lack the Alliance token the most.”
“Brother, in for a penny, in for a pound. Let’s kill them all. Other candidates have not arrived yet anyways,” the man who held a sword recommended.
Before the exam, competitions for tokens were common.
Some candidates collected three tokens before the exam even started. Afterwards, they simply had to rush to the Magical Formation in the Unbreakable Mountain and enter the Qingyun Alliance.
The first candidate who arrived at the Qingyun Alliance would receive a prize.
Li Suifeng was easy-going and friendly, so he didn’t consider Ye Mo as a stranger and explained the rules to him in details.
“I see. Thank you for the explanation. I will be more careful from now on.”
Ye Mo thanked Li Suifeng and put his token back inside the Dimensional Bracelet. A while later, the five candidates from Fire Dragon City walked towards Ye Mo with cunning smiles.
“The boy with the Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm, give me your Alliance token now.” They threatened while smirking.
Long Tao said, “Boy, with your strength of the Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm, joining the entrance exam is a death sentence for you. You better give your token to us.”
“Right. A Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm martial artist is the weakest candidate I can imagine for this exam.”
A woman among them shook her head. “Give us your token and leave the Unbreakable Mountain. You come from a city around West Zhou, right? Tell us which family you belong to and Fire Dragon City will offer you protection.”
“Boy, what are you waiting for? A weak martial artist like you must come from a weak family. An offer of protection from our city is a gift from heavens above. You should be thankful and appreciate this gesture.” Another candidate impatiently said.
“Really? I have to thank you for robbing my token?” Ye Mo stood up and said, “You are right. It is useless for me to keep this single token. But with all of your tokens, I should be able to collect a set of tokens then. All of you, give me your tokens or I’ll see you in hell.”
Ling Xue, Tong Qian, and Li Suifeng stared at Ye Mo in shock. What in the world he was thinking?
As for the five candidates from Fire Dragon City, they could not believe what they heard.
A Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm martial artist threatening to take their tokens angered the man holding the sword. He roared and pointed his sword at Ye Mo’s head.
“Arrogant punk!”
