The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 1638 - 1639: Challenge to Xuanyuan Ze

Ye Mo looked at the two Immortal Treasures in Zhu Peng’s hand, especially the wooden sword. His eyebrows furrowed, and from Zhu Peng’s words, he mostly guessed the trick behind it.

"Ye Mo, what exactly happened? How could you suddenly reach the top ten, and then fall back to over 7000th place?"

Chen Yin came over and urgently asked, not caring at all about her wooden sword losing to Zhu Peng, she just wanted to know the truth.

"It was just a little mishap."

Ye Mo shrugged, giving a casual answer. He had promised the dean, so he obviously couldn’t reveal the truth.

"Just a mishap? I think it’s more like you don’t have the capability."

Zhu Peng sneered upon hearing this. "If you really had the capability, wouldn’t you be fighting for the first place? If you got first place, the entire Immortal Martial Academy would be shocked, even attracting the attention of the dean."

In Zhu Peng’s view, Ye Mo was simply trying to cover up. His potential was indeed terrifying, but for an Upper Immortal to only rank over 7000th, such a result is quite unsightly, not even passing.

"It is what it is. How come you have my wooden sword in your hand?"

Ye Mo didn’t care about Zhu Peng’s words at all and asked.

"Your wooden sword? Both of these Immortal Treasures are won by me. I made a bet with Chen Yin and the others. If you could rank in the top ten, I would lose ten million Immortal Stones to them. If you couldn’t, they would lose ten million Immortal Stones to me. They didn’t have that many Immortal Stones, so they could only lose their handy weapons to me."

Zhu Peng was very pleased, still playing with the two Immortal Treasures he’d won.

"Oh, is that so? I still have a Profound Rank Low Quality longsword with me, and I would like to bet with you. I wonder if you’re interested."

Ye Mo smiled and took out the longsword that the dean had given him. The longsword emitted waves of five laws, clearly a Profound Rank Low Quality Immortal Treasure.

"A Profound Rank Immortal Treasure?"

Seeing the longsword in Ye Mo’s hand, Zhu Peng’s face showed a greedy expression.

Yellow Grade Immortal Treasure only emits one law, usually belonging to the Five Elements.

For instance, Chen Yin’s wooden sword emits the Wood Law, while Chen Dachui’s Barbarian Heavy Hammer emits the Metal Law.

Profound Rank Immortal Treasures correspond to the Immortal Class realm, emitting waves of the Five Elements Laws, being the most handy weapons for Immortal Class realm experts.

"How does this guy have a Profound Rank Immortal Treasure?"

Zhu Peng was secretly alarmed, but his expression quickly returned to normal, sneering, "How do you want to bet?"

"If I propose the bet, it seems a bit unfair to you. How about you propose the bet? As long as it’s not too outrageous, I can agree. The stakes will be the two Immortal Treasures in your hand against my Profound Rank Low Quality Immortal Treasure. You shouldn’t be losing out."

Ye Mo said.

At this moment, the top ten new students in the ranking battle also came over, sneering, wanting to see what was happening here.

"I really am curious, how can an Upper Immortal, ranking over 7000th in the new student battle, have the qualification to gamble with an older student at the Immortal Class realm."

Ye Mo glanced at the ten people coming over. It was Jian Wushang who spoke, while Tong Xiaotian and Dou Wei said nothing. Although Ye Mo’s Potential Composite Score was terrifying, the results of this time’s new student ranking battle didn’t satisfy them, causing them no threat.

Ling Shan said, "There must be a reason Ye Mo didn’t achieve the rank. You’ll see, sooner or later he will shock everyone."

"Shock everyone? The ranking battle results were shocking enough for me."

Xuanyuan Ze laughed sarcastically.

Listening to the conversation, Ye Mo’s face remained unchanged, not at all moved, calmly saying, "What? Not daring to bet?"

"This!"

Zhu Peng hesitated a bit.

"Zhu Peng, just bet with him. I remember that Martial Artists at the Immortal Position realm have an opportunity to enter the Hall of Five Elements to understand the Five Elements Laws. So, I’ll bet that you can’t comprehend the Five Elements Laws within a month."

Xuanyuan Ze smiled lightly.

The Hall of Five Elements at the Immortal Martial Academy is the most famous hall, where strong experts at the Immortal Position realm can enter to understand the Five Elements Laws, completely mastering them to directly break through to the Immortal Class realm.

But there is only one month. Whether successful or not, after a month, they’ll be sent out of the Hall of Five Elements.

Xuanyuan Ze is confident that Ye Mo cannot successfully comprehend the Five Elements Laws within a month. For in previous years, among the millions of new Immortal Position realm students, fewer than ten could comprehend the Five Elements Laws within a month.

Moreover, Ye Mo only mastered the Law of Fire. To comprehend the other four laws in a month is even more difficult.

"Xuanyuan Ze, since you want to interfere in this bet, fine, in a month, I will personally challenge you. I wonder if you have the guts to accept."

Ye Mo looked coldly at Xuanyuan Ze. The opponent had provoked him many times; it was time to settle it.

"Haha, I ranked fourth in the new student ranking battle, and you dare to challenge me?"

Xuanyuan Ze laughed wildly.

"Just watch."

With that, Ye Mo turned and left, with Ling Shan quickly following.

"He does have some guts. His potential is there, but unfortunately, his strength is too weak. Perhaps he used some secret method to forcefully raise his realm, but his future achievements may not be that high."

After Ye Mo and Ling Shan left, Tong Xiaotian also smiled, admiring Ye Mo’s courage.

"Within a month, if he can improve, so can I. In a month, I’ll let everyone know that Ling Shan is my fiancée."

Xuanyuan Ze’s mouth raised a slight arc, showing his disdain. Before, Xuanyuan Ze wasn’t sure, but ranking fourth in the new student battle gave him enough confidence.

...

On the way back, Ling Shan kept following Ye Mo silently. When Ye Mo was about to return to his cultivation site, she finally said, "Ye Mo, what exactly happened? With your skills, you couldn’t possibly not achieve the top ten."

"It just didn’t happen. You should go back to cultivate. You ranked fourth among the new students by absorbing Star Power. If you don’t work hard, you might be overtaken by other new students."

Ye Mo advised her, then flew into his palace.

The next day, Ye Mo received news that classes at the academy were starting. Each semester is ten months long, each month featuring a lecture by a master. Except for students on the Divine Realm list, other students need to go to their respective halls to attend classes.

Previously, Ye Mo’s cultivation was entirely self-taught, and sitting together listening to lectures was a first for him.
