The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 1624 - 1625: Buddha’s Golden Body

Not being able to see the dean didn’t dampen Ye Mo’s mood in the slightest. Even if they met, it wouldn’t benefit him much. He’d already met powerhouses like the Godslayer God Emperor; unless this dean was even stronger than the Godslayer God Emperor, it wouldn’t be of much use to Ye Mo.

The only real benefit of meeting a powerhouse was to broaden his horizons, to know that there were even stronger existences in this world. If you never saw them, you’d never know the gap between the two sides.

Under Bai Xuzi’s lead, Ye Mo was directly assigned a palace above the Immortal River. The moment he entered the palace, he immediately felt a surge of powerful Immortal Qi pouring into his body. Ye Mo didn’t bother familiarizing himself with the palace’s layout; as long as there was a place to cultivate and a place to rest, that was enough.

Moreover, the new student ranking tournament would be held in three days, and among the participants were no shortage of Immortal Class Realm powerhouses. This time’s new student ranking would also come with a large amount of rewards. Although his Potential Composite Score could easily take first place, in terms of true strength he couldn’t even rank. Even though Ye Mo had already advanced to Upper Immortal, taking first wouldn’t be that easy.

New students at the Immortal Class Realm weren’t nonexistent, in fact there were quite a lot of them—they were just rarely seen in Immortal Spirit City. What’s more, the Immortal Martial Academy did not recruit only Martial Artists from the Fengling Dynasty; even Martial Artists from the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty and the Immortal Cloud Dynasty had entered the Immortal Martial Academy.

When the ranking tournament three days later truly began, the one who would draw the most attention would definitely be this peerless genius Ye Mo with the 935 Potential Composite Score, and his performance would be under everyone’s scrutiny.

Therefore, even if not for the rewards of the ranking tournament, Ye Mo didn’t dare waste a single moment. His purpose in coming to the Immortal Martial Academy was already very clear: to become stronger in the shortest possible time.

Ye Mo sat down cross-legged, circulated the Buddha Dharma Method, and began cultivating. As time passed, large amounts of Immortal Qi poured into Ye Mo’s body, causing the circulation speed of his meridians to grow faster and faster.

At present Ye Mo was still at the Upper Immortal level, having comprehended the Law of Fire and, incidentally, grasped the Godslayer God Laws. His strength was comparable to the Immortal Class First Layer, but if Ye Mo wanted to advance to the Immortal Class Realm, he had to master the other four laws and truly fuse them together; only then could he be said to have truly stepped into the Immortal Class.

"Now that my will has already reached the Astonishing Grade, can I try breaking open the fifth floor of the Butu Tower?"

Ye Mo directly activated the golden little figure and rammed it straight toward the gate of the fifth floor.

Boom!

As expected, the gate to the fifth floor of the Butu Tower was easily smashed open by Ye Mo.

Buddha’s Golden Body!

Ye Mo took a deep breath, a look of wild joy appearing on his face. The only body-tempering martial pursuits of the Heavenly King Fojiang had finally been obtained. By unleashing the Buddha’s Golden Body, he could make his defenses incomparably tough. Coupled with the fact that his body was a Godslayer Immortal Body, once he truly executed it, his defense would definitely be astonishing.

Ye Mo immediately stood up and, following the circulation mnemonics of the Buddha’s Golden Body, began to perform it. At once, his body was shrouded by a layer of tangible golden radiance. Ye Mo wholly became a golden man, emanating golden Buddha light, countless times stronger than the Bronze Man of the Daoist Saint Evil Buddha.

"Buddha’s Golden Body—it’s said that once cultivated to perfection, the golden body becomes indestructible. I’m afraid even Martial Artists at the Second Layer of Immortal Class would find it hard to break through my defense."

Ye Mo’s heart was full of excitement, knowing that his strength had advanced yet again.

"Don’t think that just because you possess the Buddha’s Golden Body, you can contend with the Second Layer of Immortal Class. Your defense may have improved, but your strength hasn’t risen yet."

Glarxi immediately poured a bucket of cold water over Ye Mo, causing much of his excitement to dissipate. He knew the path he had to walk was still extremely long.

Just as Ye Mo immersed himself in cultivation once again, a black-clad graceful figure slipped into his palace.

"Ye Mo, you’ve already settled down in the academy and still don’t come look for me. But it doesn’t matter. Even if you don’t come to find me, I’ll come to you. Anyway, I’ve set my sights on you."

This person, without a doubt, was Ling Shan, who had already resolved to pursue Ye Mo.

"Ling Shan, can you please stay away from me in the future?"

Ye Mo was a bit displeased.

"Sure!"

Ling Shan smiled, took a step back, and said, "Now I should be a little farther away from you, right?"

Seeing this, Ye Mo was left speechless.

"Tomorrow is the new student ranking tournament. You only care about cultivating and don’t even bother to go investigate the situation of the other new students. Right now all the new students know of your existence. Quite a few geniuses have claimed they’ll defeat you in the ranking tournament. It’s said that among the new students, the strongest has already reached the Immortal Class Sixth Level."

Ling Shan wasn’t the least bit angered by Ye Mo’s words. She was a woman who dared to love and hate; since she’d decided to pursue Ye Mo, she had naturally considered all the possibilities of being rejected by him.

Hearing Ling Shan’s words, Ye Mo’s expression eased slightly as he said, "Immortal Class Sixth Level?"

A powerhouse of that level was not someone he could contend with. Although he didn’t know the exact format of the new student ranking tournament, no matter how they compared, he could not possibly defeat a Martial Artist at the Immortal Class Sixth Level.

Generally speaking, once Martial Artists reached the Immortal Position Realm, they would choose to enter an academy for systematic learning. But some would go out to temper themselves on the Lingwu Continent first before coming to the academy. This caused some new students to be even stronger than the older students.

"Yes. And that Xuanyuan Ze seems to have directly broken through to the Immortal Class Realm during this one month. That Zhou Peng from before was actually his former lackey."

Ling Shan nodded and couldn’t help but say.

"So it really is him."

Ye Mo said faintly.

"Ye Mo, I believe you’ll be able to achieve a good result. The man I, Ling Shan, fancy must be someone outstanding. I heard the rewards for this new student ranking are also extremely generous. Do your best; I’m going to cultivate too."

With that, Ling Shan directly left Ye Mo’s residence, leaving behind a faint fragrance lingering around him.

"Foxy vixen, shameless, fawning over him for no reason."

The little girl immediately said.

"Little girl, you don’t have to slander her like that, do you?"

Although Ye Mo didn’t have that kind of affection between a man and a woman for Ling Shan, she was indeed a friend worth making.

"Brother Ye Mo, and you still say you don’t like that foxy vixen? I think you just like her."

The little girl was a bit upset.

"Little girl, are you jealous?"

"Who’s jealous? The little girl doesn’t care who you like. Anyway, the women you’ve ruined aren’t few."

The little girl puffed up her cheeks and sat on Little Jing’s body, saying nothing more. Anyone who saw her like this would find it hard to resist going up and giving her a kiss.

"Little girl, I came to the immortal world only for cultivation. As for matters between men and women, I won’t think about them for now. Tomorrow is the new student ranking tournament; I have to strive for the best possible result."

Ye Mo was also very much looking forward to the new student ranking tournament. Over a million new students participating together—just imagining such a spectacle was enough to stir the blood.
