Chapter 582: The Competition Begins

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the coming two days, Ye Mo wasn’t immersed in cultivation. His Heart Minion had already been tempered to the point of reaching fivefold attack. If he wanted to progress more, he needed fourth-order fourth-tier and above seals to temper the Heart Minion. Or he had to refine fourth-order fourth-tier seals himself. Otherwise, nothing he could do would help grow the Heart Minion any longer.

For example, after defeating a fifth tier expert, one would need to practice against a sixth tier to get stronger. That was how the Heart Minion operated.

After he researched the 20 seals using the seal effects to temper the Heart Minion, he was now familiar with all 20 of the seals.

The seal that interested him the most was an offensive seal known as the Landslide Seal. After being activated, he could place his hand on the ground to cause a landslide, catching his opponent by surprise.

But the effect of the seal wasn’t what piqued Ye Mo’s interest. It was the theory behind it. It wasn’t a simple seal. Within the seal was some sort of will. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to cause a landslide. The idea was unimaginable

And just like that, the three days ended.

Early the fourth day, when the first ray of sunlight broke through the cloud and landed on Spirit Seal City, the entire city seemed to come alive.

The sealing artist competition was a grand event held once per year in the Spirit Seal City South District. It was a competition for the talented people of the south district; there would be even disciples from the other three districts coming to observe the competition.

A competition like that had attracted many sealing artists. Of the people from the three other clans that had arrived at the Zone of Seals with Ye Mo, Wenren Yixiang, Dongfang Xu, Li Tianqiong and others were there as viewers too.

Even Nangong Wushang had arrived to join in on the fun.

The competition was held in the largest public square of the Spirit Seal City South District. There was a large arena, large enough to contain tens of thousands of people.

Around the arena were the viewer seats, but there weren’t a lot of them.

When Ye Mo arrived with the people from the Bamboo Forest Fort, the public square was already filled with people. They were all there to watch the competition, and even on the air, beast control sealing artists were controlling massive demonic beasts and hovering on the air to watch the grand competition.

Next, several figures landed on the ground. The three major factions participating in the competition had all arrived.

“In this year’s south district sealing artist competition, there are three major factions are participating. The three factions consist of us, the Xia Clan from the Bamboo Forest Fort, the Ding Clan from the Youlan Sky Estate, and the Ximen Clan.”

When they arrived at the public square, Master Fu Qian started explaining to Ye Mo. “The people from Spirit Sky Residence are participating too.”

Ye Mo frowned when he heard that. He scanned his surroundings and saw Ding Hao seated with two other people beside him.

“Ye Mo, don’t worry,” Fu Qian said. “With this old man here, that Ding Hao won’t dare to try anything against you.”

Next, a few figures started landing around the middle seats. They were the clan leaders of the three major clans. Each of them emanated a powerful aura, and of them, the middle-aged man on the right was the master of Bamboo Forest Fort, Xia He.

The three were the Spirit Seal City South District’s three biggest tyrants. As a tyrant, they naturally had to come watch the competition themselves.

“Fu Qian, who is this helper you’ve invited?” Xia He asked when he saw Ye Mo standing beside his daughter. “He doesn’t seem very strong.”

“Don’t worry, fort master,” Fu Qian replied with a lazy smile. “You only need to ask Estate Master Ding to know.”

Seated at the side, Estate Master Ding snorted coldly when he heard that. He was aware of the incident with his son. Ye Mo had killed more than 10 of his Transcendence Realm servants. How could he not know about it?

“Hmph!” Estate Master Ding spoke coldly, “Master Fu Qian, what’s the point of bringing up my pain? Although the kid is somewhat capable, to help your Bamboo Forest Fort take the championship of this competition… he’s overestimated himself.”

“Oh? What happened exactly?” Xia He asked curiously.

“A few days ago, Ye Mo and Ding Hao were bidding for the same item at the auction,” Fu Qian explained. “When Ding Hao was outbid by Ye Mo, he sent some servants to teach Ye Mo a lesson. But, unexpectedly, all his servants were killed, leaving only Ding Hao alive.”

“Hmph. That Ye Mo is ruthless and sinister,” Estate Master Ding said coldly. “Fort Master Xia, I hope that you can hand him over to me after the competition. I’ll give you a spot in the Heavenly Seal Tower for him.”

“Old Freak Ding, the competition has not even started and you’re already assuming that your clan will be the winner?” the guy to the right said. He looked extremely ordinary, yet his cultivation was the strongest of the three. “It’s not like that Ye Mo has done anything wrong. It was an auction. The highest bid wins. That’s how it works. I reckon everyone in the South District knows well the kind of person your second son is.”

He was the clan leader of the Ximen Clan, and his words left Estate Master Ding speechless.

“Haha, I see Clan Leader Ximen is still the more reasonable person,” Xia He said when he saw Old Freak Ding’s face flush with anger. “Alright, cut the crap. The competition is starting soon.”

“Everyone, the competition will start now,” a loud voice said. “A total of six participants will participate, and there are no rules. Anyone capable of suppressing the geniuses of the two other clans will win the spots to enter the Heavenly Seal Tower for their clan.”

The participants looked at one another. None of them wanted to be the first to go up. The first person to go would usually be at a disadvantage.

“Since nobody dares go up, this young master shall be the first.” A youth appeared in the arena, a seal clamped between his palms like he was holding a saber. By waving the seal around, sharp blade lights would shoot out, threatening to slice all of his opponents’ throats.

People knew who this young man was.

“Saber Seal Ding Badao?” people shouted in astonishment when they recognized him.

“What? It’s really him? It was rumored that he was killed during a mission for the Spirit Sky Residence. How could he possibly appear here? He was once the number one genius of the South District!”

The genius was supposed to be long dead, but he’d shown himself again.

“Looks like this Saber Seal Ding Badao will be a thorny opponent,” Ye Mo muttered to himself when he saw Ding Baodao. He had the aura of a Transcendence Fourth Realm and looked very skilled in using seals.

Just Ding Badao alone was already an extremely powerful opponent for Ye Mo. That seal he held was like an actual saber. It wasn’t a seal that had been refined into a saber. That was impossible. Instead, he’d transformed his Mental State into a sharp blade that he channeled into the seal. It gave off an extremely sharp feeling, as if that seal could slice everything apart.

“Four of you, come together,” Ding Badao said arrogantly. His tyrannical declaration shocked everyone present. “Since I’ve decided to return, the spot to enter the Heavenly Seal Tower will go to the Sky Spirit Residence.”

It was supposed to be a one on one match, but this guy was challenging everyone at once.
