The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 1623 - 1624: Genius Identity
Previously on The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood...
Upon hearing this, Ling Shan was equally shocked, only then recalling Ye Mo’s recent encounter with Zhu Peng of the Immortal Class Realm, which ended in a draw. Especially, the aura emanating from Ye Mo made her feel a bit pressured, suggesting that Ye Mo had already reached the level of an Upper Immortal.
Advancing from a Lower-Ranked Immortal to an Upper Immortal within a month, how is this possible?
Yet it was precisely this impossibility that made Lin He immediately dismiss the idea that Ye Mo was the ancient prodigy with a 935 Potential Composite Score.
"This freshman is going to be out of luck. Doesn’t he know that Zhu Peng has a close private relationship with Lin He’s master? Offend Zhu Peng, and he’ll surely face consequences."
"I think not necessarily. I think both of them are going to face misfortune."
Suddenly, a dissenting voice rang out: "That person is indeed the ancient prodigy with a score of 935. I saw him back then, and I didn’t expect him to reach the level of Upper Immortal in a month. If he were tested again, his Potential Composite Score might break 1000."
"He is Ye Mo, the ancient prodigy with a Potential Composite Score of 935."
Another freshman from Immortal Spirit City said.
Among the crowd, some people started whispering, looking again at the scene in the distance with a hint of amusement, suggesting that the subsequent events would be very interesting.
"I am indeed Ye Mo, the student who scored 935 in the potential test. If you don’t believe it, there should be many freshmen from Immortal Spirit City here who can prove my identity."
Ye Mo’s face was calm.
"What?"
Upon hearing Ye Mo say this, Zhu Peng couldn’t help but swallow hard; Ye Mo’s words suggested that he was indeed the ancient prodigy with a score of 935.
"What happened?"
At this moment, Master Bai Xuzi suddenly appeared, walking over slowly. When he saw Ye Mo, his eyes lit up and he said, "Our ancient prodigy, you have finally arrived. I was just preparing to welcome you; the dean has instructed to take good care of you."
After speaking, Master Bai Xuzi’s face showed astonishment again: "You’ve ascended to Upper Immortal? How is this possible?"
Master Bai Xuzi had initially told Ye Mo he wanted to see his progress after a month, but this progress was indeed too dreadful, wasn’t it? If Ye Mo had improved by one realm, that would be normal, but continuously improving by two realms was simply unimaginably daunting for him.
"Dean? Take care?"
Upon hearing Master Bai Xuzi’s words, Zhu Peng and Lin He’s expressions turned ugly. The Ye Mo in front of them was indeed the ancient prodigy with a score of 935.
"I just had a little stroke of luck."
Ye Mo smiled, glancing at Zhu Peng and Lin He, seeing their flushed faces; he said, "Master Bai Xuzi, can I prioritize my enrollment?"
"Of course, the dean also said that your tuition is completely waived, and all your enrollment procedures will be completed by me. Furthermore, I now need to take you to meet the dean!"
Master Bai Xuzi said, seeing the surrounding freshmen still pointing and discussing, he couldn’t help but ask, "What’s going on?"
"Master, this senior brother deliberately made things difficult for Ye Mo just now."
Ling Shan, known for returning grievances, knew Ye Mo didn’t want to bother with Zhu Peng and immediately said, "This senior brother came over and suspected Ye Mo of being a fake freshman, directly asking to check Ye Mo’s token. After Ye Mo argued back, he then took the initiative to attack Ye Mo."
Upon hearing this, Master Bai Xuzi raised his brows, looking at Zhu Peng, and said, "What is going on here?"
Zhu Peng immediately changed his previous attitude, smiling and apologizing, "It’s a misunderstanding, definitely a misunderstanding. I also didn’t expect that Ye Mo was the ancient prodigy with a score of 935."
"Misunderstanding?"
Ling Shan stood up for Ye Mo, coldly saying, "I see you clearly targeted Ye Mo deliberately. You and Ye Mo have never met, someone must have directed you. Tell me, who instructed you."
"It was truly a misunderstanding, and no one instructed me."
Zhu Peng glanced at Xuanyuan Ze in the distance, completely at a loss for words, knowing that Xuanyuan Ze must be aware of Ye Mo’s identity and yet let him still provoke Ye Mo.
"Zhu Peng, I will let you off today. If Ye Mo ends up missing an arm or leg, you won’t need to stay at the academy any longer."
With a cold snort, Master Bai Xuzi took Ye Mo and left the square directly.
Master Bai Xuzi led Ye Mo straight to the center of the square, a journey lasting several minutes, still not reaching the end of the vast square. As they walked, Ye Mo saw ahead a huge, colorful arch bridge, emitting brilliant lights, leaving one wondering where the end of the rainbow bridge leads.
"Ye Mo, across the Rainbow Immortal Bridge is where you’ll truly arrive at the Immortal Martial Academy."
Master Bai Xuzi introduced to Ye Mo.
"No wonder it’s the Immortal Martial Academy."
Ye Mo marveled again.
The two of them directly stepped onto the Rainbow Immortal Bridge; upon reaching the center, beneath the bridge was a galaxy stretching across, with countless massive lotus leaves and fantasy-like palaces appearing atop those leaves.
"These palaces atop the lotus leaves will be your future residences. This river is called the Immortal River, containing a special energy. Though this energy can’t be absorbed directly, it can be absorbed through the lotus leaves and emanated, making residence on the lotus leaves highly efficient for cultivation."
Master Bai Xuzi continued.
"Let me first take you to meet the dean!"
Master Bai Xuzi accelerated, leaping, crossing the Rainbow Immortal Bridge, toward countless large and small palaces appearing in the distance.
Ye Mo followed closely behind Master Bai Xuzi, flying directly over.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
As Master Bai Xuzi and Ye Mo landed in a square in front of a palace, three figures descended, blocking Ye Mo and Master Bai Xuzi.
"This is the dean’s private retreat, and no one is allowed to enter without permission."
The speaker was a woman; her voice was very pleasing, but her face was stern.
"Three masters, this person is indeed the ancient prodigy with a Potential Composite Score of 935, brought here by the dean himself."
Master Bai Xuzi looked at the three girls in front of him, showing respect.
The masters’ master is the three Elders, and the three girls appeared younger than Ye Mo, yet they had become Elders of the Immortal Martial Academy.
"The dean later instructed that he will soon enter seclusion for cultivation, and won’t meet with this ancient prodigy anymore; as for when the dean will meet with this prodigy, we are not informed."
The girl’s voice remained cold, seemingly not putting Ye Mo in her eyes at all.
Upon hearing this, Master Bai Xuzi showed an embarrassed expression, saying, "Then we’re sorry for the disturbance."
"Master, what’s the matter?"
Ye Mo couldn’t help but ask.
"I don’t know; a few days ago, the dean repeatedly stressed to properly arrange for you. After you arrived at the academy, he wanted me to bring you to see him, yet now the dean’s attitude flipped 180 degrees; it’s really strange."
Master Bai Xuzi shook his head.
"If he doesn’t want to see me, then that’s fine!"
Ye Mo smiled without caring; someone as strong as the dean, having lived tens or hundreds of thousands of years, would have a very peculiar temperament, not something ordinary people could comprehend.
