The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 1637 - 1638: The Curtain Falls

Zhu Peng received the immortal treasures handed to him by Chen Yin’s siblings, a smug smile spreading across his face as he said, "These two weapons barely worth ten million immortal stones, I’ll gladly accept them, haha."

"Don’t get too complacent. Ye Mo definitely has the strength to get into the top ten. Something must have happened on that meteorite," Chu Chu said.

Although he lost the bet, Chen Yin still couldn’t believe this was reality; something must have happened on the meteorite because Ye Mo’s score was simply too strange.

"Even if something did happen, what difference would it make? The results of the ranking battle are already out; saying more won’t change a thing," Zhu Peng replied smugly.

Subsequently, figures began emerging from the portal, landing on the Immortal Martial Plaza, and almost immediately, those participating novices turned their gaze to the light screen, striving to find their names.

A million competitors—being able to squeeze into the top ten thousand was certainly an honor for anyone.

However, upon seeing their names absent from the light screen, they sighed quietly.

"Alas, I’ve comprehended five laws. Though I haven’t reached the Immortal Class Realm, my strength should definitely be in the top ten thousand, yet I’m not on the list."

"Haha, I’ve only comprehended three laws, and I actually made it onto the list!"

At this moment, a burly man descended from the portal, and everyone’s eyes were drawn to him. Glancing at the light screen in the sky and seeing his first-place position, the corner of his mouth curled into a smirk. Securing the top spot in the ranking battle was his ambition.

"Tong Xiaotian truly deserves to be called the top genius of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty; his points have always been far ahead."

"Indeed, especially since Tong Xiaotian has already reached the Immortal Class Sixth Level."

At this moment, Dou Wei, Jian Wushang, Xuanyuan Ze, and others also descended from the portal, basking in the attention of the crowd. When they saw their rankings, their faces all showed expected smiles.

"I actually got fourth in the novice ranking battle. I’m only at the Immortal Class First Layer, yet I claimed fourth place in the novice ranking. I never imagined this would happen; as long as I work hard, my achievements won’t be beneath anyone else’s."

Seeing his ranking, Xuanyuan Ze felt an unusual excitement never felt before. After all, among all the novices, his strength couldn’t rank in the top ten. So, the expected result for him was around the tenth place, but he never thought he would actually get fourth place.

Moreover, for the past month, Xuanyuan Ze did not relax even the slightest bit. Each time he was exhausted, he would rest for a moment before continuing to fight.

It was precisely this diligence that led him to achieve such remarkable results.

"That Ye Mo only ranked in the 7000s."

Seeing Ye Mo’s ranking, Xuanyuan Ze also wore a disdainful smile. This kind of result wouldn’t catch anyone’s attention at all. What good is being a once-in-a-lifetime prodigy if his Upper Immortal strength only secured a result in the 7000s?

"Hmph, we really overestimated his results; only ranked in the 7000s."

Jian Wushang also smirked coldly upon seeing Ye Mo’s ranking. His memory had been erased by the dean, so he had no knowledge of the Dream Beast.

Of course, aside from these four who attracted the most attention, Ling Shan also became a hot figure in the ranking battle, securing fifth place with Lower-Ranked Immortal strength—a feat unprecedented.

At this moment, Ye Mo finally emerged from the portal, landing on the Immortal Martial Plaza. As almost everyone looked at him, their expressions were filled with disdain. Achieving a ranking only in the 7000s with Upper Immortal strength was quite ordinary, even inferior.

The elder hosting the ranking battle glanced at Ye Mo and sighed softly. This once-in-a-lifetime prodigy had ultimately stalled at this point.

This ranking battle could fully assess a Martial Artist’s comprehensive strength. Ye Mo, with Upper Immortal Martial Dao Realm, achieved a ranking only in the 7000s, showing that Ye Mo is merely an ordinary Upper Immortal.

With all the novices present at the Immortal Martial Plaza, the novice ranking battle had come to a conclusion.

"The novice ranking battle has successfully concluded. The top ten have emerged, and the remaining novices may leave temporarily."

The elder hosting the competition spoke calmly, his face still calm.

As the crowd started to disperse gradually, only the top ten remained in the plaza, while the rest of the novices either left or stayed aside.

"The biggest surprise of this novice ranking battle is Ling Shan. It seems that she is truly the dark horse among the novices; undoubtedly, her suitors will increase."

An Earth Tier senior student looked at the ten people in the plaza’s center, especially Ling Shan, and couldn’t help but sigh.

Although Ling Shan was a special recruit due to her Dark Immortal Body, her fifth place ranking now proves her potential is very strong.

"Dark Immortal Body, Lower Immortal strength achieving the novice ranking fifth place—I admire you. Would you be willing to become my disciple?"

The speaker was an elder in a black robe.

He was an elder of the Immortal Martial Academy, having cultivated the Dark Law as well. Seeing Ling Shan’s results, naturally, he wanted her as a disciple.

However, Ling Shan was gazing at Ye Mo disappearing in the crowd, feeling a twist in her heart. Although her memory had been erased, she clearly remembered Ye Mo teaching her the Absorption of Star Force. She refused to believe that with Ye Mo’s strength, he didn’t achieve a good rank.

"Senior, Ling Shan is willing to apprentice under you, but she has a request."

Ling Shan quickly withdrew her gaze and spoke to the black-robed elder.

Xuanyuan Ze’s face showed discomfort upon hearing this.

In principle, his ranking was more outstanding than Ling Shan’s, but Ling Shan, just a Lower Immortal, demonstrated terrifying potential.

Furthermore, Ling Shan’s request, if it were to dissolve the engagement, the black-robed elder’s temperament might agree.

"Ling Shan hopes that senior can accept both me and Ye Mo as disciples."

Ling Shan made a surprising statement, leaving many astonished as they hadn’t expected her to make such a request. Ye Mo sure was lucky.

"Though Ye Mo didn’t achieve an outstanding result this time, he still possesses considerable potential. Different elders will naturally want him as a disciple. If you persuade him to accept me, I have no objections."

The black-robed elder smiled. Although recruiting Ye Mo wasn’t his intention, having Ling Shan as a disciple, along with Ye Mo, made no difference.

"Then, thank you, Master!"

Ling Shan immediately knelt before the black-robed elder.

"Elder Hei Mogui, you really couldn’t wait. Usually, after rewards are issued, elders privately recruit disciples, but you jumped ahead."

The elder hosting the ranking battle smiled without reproach, saying, "Now, let’s start presenting the rewards."

As Ye Mo departed from the plaza, he turned around to glance at the scene, though his expression remained unchanged. Just as he looked away, Zhu Peng approached slowly, his face full of a smug smile.

"Ye Mo, I should really thank you; otherwise, I wouldn’t have won two immortal treasures."

Zhu Peng said, shaking a wooden sword and a massive hammer in his hand, both immortal treasure weapons shaking violently as if expressing anger.
