Instead of plainly explaining his own seal’s effects with words, why not have a true battle? Ye Mo’s suggestion widened the eyes of all the league members. This was a true seal battle between the Explosive Sky-Shattering Fire Seal, an Attack Seal capable of killing an Energy Shaping Seventh Realm fighter, against the Defense Seal in the form of the Motionless Hell King Seal.

Which seal was stronger would be naturally determined after a bout.

“If you want a battle, so be it! I’m not scared of you!” Huo Qingyun laughed coldly. Ye Mo’s strength was already lower than his own in the first place. Even if his seal was able to defend against the Explosive Sky-Shattering Fire Seal, he would not be able to completely unleash the powers of his seal due to his lack of power.

A True Energy air enclosure covered Ye Mo and Huo Qingyun. This was activated by Xuan Ji to prevent the battle between the two of them from hurting others.

“If you want to seek death, then die!” Huo Qingyun cackled, completely using all of his energy in his Energy Center and channelling it to the Explosive Sky-Shattering Fire Seal before sending it towards Ye Mo with a swing of his arm. The seal morphed into a fiery wave, instantly devouring Ye Mo’s body, with the rumbling waves of fire continuously giving out explosive roars. The True Energy in the surrounding was also activated and were sent into ripples. The league members standing around them could feel the power of the fiery waves. If it was an ordinary elite league member buried in the flames, death was a certain consequence.

“Haha, Ye Mo, you were allowed me to attack you. Don’t blame me if you burn to death,” Huo Qingyun said. Seeing Ye Mo engulfed in flames, he assumed that his victory was secured.

However, just as Huo Qingyun finished speaking, all of a sudden, a furious roar rose as a giant black Motionless Hell King emerged from the waves of flames.

The Hell King’s face looked ferocious, his body towering. Holding a giant shield in his right hand, he stood rooted to the ground, unmoved, and gave off a hellish aura.

The multiple explosions heard landed on the Hell King like bullets hitting a steel wall.

“Roar!”

Another angry roar was heard as a powerful force erupted from the Motionless Hell King’s body, instantly causing the waves of flames to be blown off. The giant Hell King covered Ye Mo’s body, forming an extremely strong defense.

Witnessing this, Xuan Ji’s face showed a clear sign of shock. Her body trembled with excitement.

“This is…” Stopping herself from speaking further, Xuan Ji immediately steadied herself.

“How is this possible? How did your seal, which only took you 10 minutes to cultivate, defend against my Explosive Sky-Shattering Fire?” Huo Qingyun’s heart sank. He was shocked. Looking at the giant Hell King, he would never admit it, but he felt admiration.

“Explosive Sky-Shattering Fire could not even break my Hell King’s shield. The seal that you cultivated is utter trash. Huo Qingyun, since I have already won two rounds, and the other three sealing artists have forfeited, there is no need for a third round. I have already won. Just now, you said that you were going to cripple both my arms. So should I start with your right arm or left arm?” Ye Mo said calmly as the Motionless Hell King slowly disappeared.

“Ye Mo, do you dare?” Huo Qingyun’s face changed as he said angrily.

“Let’s see if I dare then. Had you not spoken of our bet just now, you could still have denied such claims, and I would not have dared to cripple your arms in front of everyone here. Since you spoke about our agreement in front of so many people, then I have no considerations about saving face anymore.” As Ye Mo spoke, he instantly rushed in front of Huo Qingyun.

Huo Qingyun’s hand produced an explosive flame, and he sent it flying towards Ye Mo, erupting a sea of flames again. The sea of flames morphed into waves as it gushed towards Ye Mo.

Ye Mo immediately generated a Dragon Spear, and with a wave of the spear, a light blade swept out, instantly splitting the sea of flames. Ye Mo charged towards Huo Qingyun’s side, and with two spear strikes, he stabbed Huo Qingyun’s arms’ mortal gates. Blood spluttered everyone as a pained scream erupted.

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

Huo Qingyun’s arms immediately drooped downwards. As his forehead dripped with sweat, he was evidently in extreme pain.

“How dare you, Ye Mo, crippling Master Huo’s arms in front of Master Xuan Ji. This is simply outrageous,” Dong Fang’ao shouted as he slapped his chair with force and stood.

The Xuan Ji League members did not expect Ye Mo to really have the guts to cripple Huo Qingyun’s arms in front of all of them.

“Hmph, had I lost today, I don’t believe that Huo Qingyun would’ve have shown mercy to me, or that any of you would’ve stepped in to stop him. This is a bet between the two of us.”

Ye Mo could not care less about Dong Fang’ao’s words.

“Hmph, even though you won, by doing this in front of everyone, you are not showing any regard for our Xuan Ji League.” Ye Changsheng said coldly as he also stood up.

“Did all of you hear what Huo Qingyun said just now? If I had lost, he was going to cripple both my arms right in front of all of you. Is that showing regard for the Xuan Ji League? I have already won this test. Master Xuan Ji, please announce the results!” Ye Mo said respectfully and bowed down towards Xuan Ji.

“Master Xuan Ji, Ye Mo is too arrogant. Letting him into the Xuan Ji League would be allowing his arrogance to continue. Master Xuan Ji, I plead to you to not allow someone like Ye Mo to enter the sub-league,” said Ye Changsheng.

Xuan Ji waved her hand and said, “Stop fighting, all of you. I already have an answer in my heart regarding the selection results. Ye Mo’s seal technique is a tier above the rest. He has successfully been selected as an honorary sealing artist of the Xuan Ji sub-league.”

“Many thanks, Master Xuan Ji!” Delighted, Ye Mo clasped his hands together.

“Master Xuan Ji!” Ye Changsheng shouted loudly in a moment of anxiety.

“Shut up. Wu Hao, you will be in charge of awarding our Xuan Ji sub-league badge to Ye Mo. Then, make sure he finds me in the conference hall tomorrow morning,” Xuan Ji said before instantly vanishing on the spot.

“Haha, congratulations, congratulations!” Some of the elite league members immediately walked forward to shower Ye Mo with compliments.

Ye Mo held his hands together with a smile on his face in response.

“Little brother Ye Mo, I am an Energy Shaping Seventh Realm fighter. Can you help me cultivate a few Defense Seals suitable for me to use? My attack is fine, but my defense, not so much. I would like to compensate for that through the use of seals.”

“Haha, no problem, I just need to collect some concessions fee. Prepare the ingredients yourself.”

“Haha, no problem! Little brother Ye Mo, if you face any problems in the Xuan Ji League in the future, just let me know and I shall be there for you.”

Another elite league member rushed forward. “Little brother Ye Mo, my strength is already in the Energy Shaping Eighth Realm. Recently, I’ve been wanting to execute some high-difficulty assassination missions. I would like to request an Attack Seal suitable for an Energy Shaping Eighth Realm from you.”

“No problem, we are all brothers here. Wait until I have the time, and I will cultivate seals for everyone together in one go. This is my first time entering the Xuan Ji league, so I’d like to trouble everyone to keep a lookout for me.” Ye Mo held his hands together as he established friendly ties with a group of elite league members.

Witnessing this, the veins on Ye Changsheng’s face start to pop as he said coldly, “Ye Mo, let’s see how long you can continue showing off!”
