Chapter 429: Ye Mo’s Mark
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Hearing the words of the Luosha Emperor, Ye Mo breathed a sigh of relief. His impression of the Luosha Emperor also improved considerably.
If the Tianwu Kingdom had an emperor like this, his father would probably still be alive.
Luo Hun was wearing a sleeveless s.h.i.+rt with his Marquis Rank Luosha Mark exposed to the air. With the activation of true energy, the Luosha Mark started glowing with purple radiance. Everyone’s gaze turned fervent. A Marquis Rank Luosha Mark was something that would rarely appear in a hundred years.
Most of them only had ordinary Luosha Marks. In fact, even possessing a Soldier Rank Luosha Mark would make someone a genius. And precisely because Luo Hun had formed a Marquis Rank Luosha Mark, he was accepted by the Luosha Emperor as an adopted son. He did not disappoint either. He became the number one expert on Luosha Academy’s Expert Ranking list.
Luo Hun could feel the fervent gazes around him. An arrogant smile crossed his face as he accepted the token from the emperor.
Everyone started guessing.
“That woman called Zi Yi is very strong as well. I don’t think she is any weaker than Luo Hun. But I wonder what rank her Luosha Mark is.”
“Don’t you know? Before the autumn examination, Zi Yi had already been summoned to meet the emperor. I heard that the emperor has the intention to adopt her as his daughter. I reckon she must have formed a rather high-ranked Luosha Mark.”
Zi Yi slowly pulled her sleeve up and revealed her fair and flawless arm. On the skin as fair as snow, a Ghost Head Luosha Mark could be seen. This mark looked even more imposing and mighty than Luo Hun’s mark.
“It’s a King Rank Luosha Mark!”
This immediately caused an uproar. What exactly was a King Rank mark? Even the Luosha Emperor’s Seal only had a King Rank Luosha Mark. In other words, the talent of this woman was comparable to their emperor.
Even Luo Hun was staring at the Luosha Mark on Zi Yi’s arm in shock.
“How is that possible? Does she have the same King Rank Luosha Mark as the emperor? No wonder she is so powerful at such a young age.”
“King Rank Luosha Mark, the second King Rank Luosha Mark in the Luosha Kingdom.”
Luo Hun’s Luosha Mark was a source of envy. Comparatively, Zi Yi’s Luosha Mark was a source of shock. In the entire Luosha Kingdom, only the emperor had a mark of this rank.
“Zi Yi, you must be sure to cultivate properly at Door of Desolation. As someone capable of forming a King Rank Luosha Mark, it signifies that your talent is no weaker than mine. You have a bright future ahead of you,” said the Luosha Emperor with a nod. He had long known that Zi Yi had the King Rank Luosha Mark. After some encouraging words, he pa.s.sed the Luosha Token to her.
With a faint smile on Zi Yi’s face, a crafty light flashed past her eyes while she was staring at the token.
“That Ye Mo has defeated w.a.n.g Tianxiao with a cultivation level of mid-stage True Energy Realm. I reckon he has at least a Premier Rank Luosha Mark.”
“Have none of you noticed? The weapon he uses is quite odd. It looks completely normal now, but when he used martial techniques with it, the spear radiates a powerful spirituality.”
“Now that you mention it, that seems to be the case.”
Ye Mo naturally had little knowledge about the five ranks of Luosha Marks; the King, Marquis, General, Premier, and Soldier Ranks. He slowly pulled his sleeve up and revealed a Luosha Mark that was completely different to everyone else. Not a single speck of aura was radiating off the mark, yet the mark still gave off a sense of oppression.
What kind of mark was this?
“Since it’s not part of the five ranks, it is probably some unranked regular mark. It is no wonder his cultivation level is only at mid-stage True Energy Realm.”
Everyone started discussing the subject when they saw Ye Mo’s Luosha Mark.
“True. There are way too many random Luosha Marks of different shapes and forms. Such marks are not even comparable to the Soldier Rank.”
“So he’s just a normal warrior.” Xu Fu looked at Ye Mo’s Luosha Mark and sneered, “I thought his Luosha Mark would be a Premier Rank at the minimum but looks like he was relying on his weapon. He does not possess the qualifications to fight for the Luosha Token.”
“This guy sure is lucky. But the Door of Desolation is not a place one can enter by luck alone.”
Xu Wuji was looking at Ye Mo gloomily. He was supposed to be one of the three obtaining the token, but Ye Mo’s sudden appearance had squeezed him out. It turned out Ye Mo was merely relying on luck.
“Father, what Luosha Mark is that? Although it is not part of the five ranks, it is definitely not a regular Luosha Mark,” asked Little Jiao as she looked at Ye Mo’s Luosha Mark in astonishment.
Prince Rong said, “The emperor once took me to the Luosha Temple. On the wall, all five ranks were carved. Each represented the talent of the warriors possessing them. The emperor once told me that apart from the five, there was a mark that was even more powerful than the King Rank Luosha Mark. A warrior with such a mark will possess the ability to defy the heavens and change fate. But a warrior of that caliber only existed in the primordial past.”
When the emperor saw Ye Mo’s mark, his pupils shrunk for a split second before his face was a mask of calm again. He spoke, “Ye Mo, although you have entered the top three, never think that you are a super genius. The Door of Desolation will be opened in half a month. Take this opportunity to train hard and improve your cultivation.”
“Thank you, Emperor!” Ye Mo bowed to the emperor after accepting the token.
“Since the autumn examination is over, everyone may leave. The top three may follow me to the main hall. I have some words to share,” said the emperor before flicking his sleeve and taking all three of them away with him.
“I must obtain the Luosha Token!” Xu Wuji licked his lips nastily.
“Wuji, don’ worry. That Ye Mo won’t be able to enter the Door of Desolation,” said Xu Fu sinisterly.
“Father, are you going to kill him?” Xu Wuji asked in astonishment.
“With Ye Mo’s strength, it is a waste for him to go to the Door of Desolation. But out of respect for the emperor, this is the only thing we can do.” Then, Xu Fu started whispering into Xu Wuji’s ears. Then, the father and son pair roared with laughter.
Luosha Palace.
“Ye Mo, Zi Yi, Luo Hun, all three of you are warriors that have qualified from over 20,000 geniuses, representatives of the Luosha Kingdom to the Door of Desolation. My only requirement for all of you is to return alive,” said the Luosha Emperor.
“Return alive?” Ye Mo cried out in astonishment. What did that mean?
“The Luosha Token is merely a tool to help you reach there. But to truly join them, you will need to partic.i.p.ate in a drill of the Battle of Yidao. Only by pa.s.sing the drill you will be able to truly join the Door of Desolation. But it is way too easy for one to die at the Battle of Yidao.”
These words caused all three of them to look astonished.
The Battle of Yidao, Ye Mo repeated the term in his heart repeatedly. That was precisely where his father’s path ended.
“Alright. Luo Hun and Zi Yi, you may leave first,” said the emperor. The two immediately left.
Why is he keeping me alone here? Is he trying to convince me to hand over the token? Ye Mo was alarmed and immediately went on full alert.
Bang!
The door was suddenly shut, causing the room to dim.
Next, Ye Mo saw a scene that caused him immeasurable shock. The emperor of a high-level kingdom, the emperor of the Luosha Kingdom, was kneeling on one knee before him.
“Evil Luosha Spirit Lord!”
