The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 1611 - 1612: Peerless Genius Through the Ages
Previously on The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood...
"I am indeed only 29 years old, and I might as well tell you all, not only am I 29, but I have only been cultivating for 15 years."
Ye Mo said another phrase that shocked the entire audience.
For martial artists like them, living on the Open Heaven Continent, they can open the Mortal Gate as young as five or six years old and officially step into the Spirit Cultivating Realm.
However, Ye Mo only officially began cultivating at the age of 14, so he had truly only been cultivating for fifteen years.
"No matter what you say, I demand a retest."
Xuanyuan Ze said indifferently.
"The crystal I used for detection, theoretically, should not be wrong. Since Xuanyuan Ze wants a retest, you can try again. If it’s still your previous data, then Ye Mo’s data won’t be incorrect."
Bai Xuzi spoke and then smiled at Ye Mo, saying, "Ye Mo, you can wait at the side."
At this moment, Bai Xuzi looked at Ye Mo as if he saw a treasure. He was certain that the data was not wrong; the man in front of him was definitely an unexpected genius of the ages.
Xuanyuan Ze walked up incredulously, placing his arm back on the Crystal Ball, and the Array activated.
Xuanyuan Ze’s data was identical to before, which also meant that Ye Mo was indeed 29 years old.
"Xuanyuan Ze, now you should believe it, right?"
Ye Mo also started to smirk coldly.
"Even if you are 29 years old, so what? According to the scoring rules, your score is only 550 points, you still can’t surpass me. Since you can’t surpass me, the bet between Ling Shan and me, I win."
Xuanyuan Ze sneered. Even though Ye Mo was 29, his potential coefficient was only 10, his martial arts realm 10 points, plus a Will Index of 54 points, totaling 550 points, a wide gap from his own score.
"Xuanyuan Ze, you are wrong!"
At this moment, Bai Xuzi said indifferently, "The rules I previously announced were only aimed at those aged 100 to 1000 because I never imagined someone like Ye Mo would appear. Back then, the most talented martial artist at the Immortal Martial Academy, Zhou Han, now the top genius on the academy’s Divine Realm ranking, joined the academy at the age of 70. At that time, the academy added a thirty percent bonus to his original Potential Composite Score. Now that Ye Mo is only 29, his true score should be 550 points plus a seventy percent bonus, which is 935 points."
points!
Bai Xuzi’s words fell, and all the martial artists were shocked. It was 200 points higher than Xuanyuan Ze, and 935 points would certainly be the highest score this year, potentially setting a new record in the history of the Immortal Martial Academy.
"Master Bai Xuzi, how many points did Zhou Han have back then?"
Suddenly, a young man said.
"Zhou Han back then only had 870 points; the Immortal Martial Academy had never seen a genius over 900 points. But now Ye Mo has appeared, and his appearance is sure to stir up the entire Immortal Martial Academy."
At this moment, Bai Xuzi couldn’t have been happier. Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was bursting with excitement inside. Today, he had recruited an unexpected genius, and when he returned to the academy, he was sure to be richly rewarded.
Immediately, several disciples began congratulating Ye Mo. Zhou Han became the top powerhouse on the Divine Realm ranking with 870 points, more formidable than some elders. Now, Ye Mo’s Potential Composite Score is 935 points, and one can imagine what frightening achievements he will have in the future.
"Father, mother, do you know? You have just driven out a genius more terrifying than Zhou Han from the Ling Mansion."
Ling Shan was also thrilled at this moment. She would never have thought that Ye Mo’s comprehensive potential could be so terrifying.
"Damn it, he ascended from the secular world as a nobody. How could he have a Potential Composite Score of 935, even surpassing Zhou Han in future achievements?"
Xuanyuan Ze clenched his fists tightly, with veins bulging on his forehead.
"Your Royal Highness, the Prince, there’s no need to be agitated. Even if he wins against you with 935 points, it only means you can’t act roughly with Ling Shan, but she remains your fiancée. His potential may be strong, but his strength is still weak. We only need to come up with a plan to prevent him from entering the Immortal Martial Academy, and what else could he boast about?"
The follower came up immediately and whispered.
"Zhou Han was able to grow to where he is now because his background is solid, but as a martial artist from the secular world, what background does he have?"
Xuanyuan Ze also felt that his follower was right. With a month to go before the formal start of school after registration, he dared not act brazenly in Immortal Spirit City, but outside of it, killing Ye Mo would be very easy.
"Ye Mo, with your potential score of 935 points, you are undoubtedly the top of this test and will likely be the top freshman of this batch. As long as you work hard and show a strength corresponding to your talents, the academy will undoubtedly focus on cultivating you in the future."
Bai Xuzi looked at Ye Mo, his tone extremely respectful. Talents like Ye Mo, especially one that ascended directly from the secular world, are indeed rare.
"Thank you, Master!"
Ye Mo cupped his hands, believing that with his natural talents, he would definitely grow in the academy, and the teachers and elders in the academy aimed to cultivate students. After all, when students grow stronger, the academy can truly become stronger.
Ye Mo’s test was over, and the subsequent tests naturally became dull and tasteless. After waiting for a whole half-day, the entire potential evaluation was finally concluded.
"All students, the potential evaluation is over. The top ten students are Ye Mo, Xuanyuan Ze, Long Tianxiao, Lin Yonghao, Wang Kun, Wang Zelong, Xiao Fei, Zhang Xianting, Ji Tong. Now, the rewards for the top ten will be distributed."
Bai Xuzi waved his arm, and some Pei Yuan pills, jade scrolls, and treasures appeared in the air.
"According to the academy’s rules, the rewards for the fourth to tenth places are a Third Rank Marrow-Cleansing Immortal Refinement Pill, which greatly enhances a martial artist’s constitution, with the first use being most effective."
Bai Xuzi waved his large sleeve, and seven Pei Yuan pills flew to the seven students in respective rankings.
"As for the prize for the third place, it’s a Yellow Grade Medium Quality attacking Immortal Treasure, the Chi Huang Liu Li Sword."
Yet again, a longsword flew directly to Long Tianxiao. This scene caused widespread envy; attacking Immortal Treasures are the most expensive, and a Yellow Grade Medium Quality Immortal Treasure weapon is valued at at least five million Immortal Stones.
"The reward for the second place is a Martial Arts Manual called Duo Yun Shan Dian Step, a speed martial art of Yellow Grade Medium Quality. When performed, its movement technique is ghostly and lightning-fast; only upon reaching the Immortal Class Realm can the full power of the Duo Yun Shan Dian Step be realized."
As Bai Xuzi spoke, a jade scroll flew directly to Xuanyuan Ze, who caught it with one hand. A Yellow Grade Medium Quality movement art did not attract his attention; only Xuan Grade martial arts interested him.
However, for ordinary martial artists, the rewards for second and third places were both quite valuable, leading to much curiosity about what the prize for the first place would be.
