Chapter 1621 - 1622: Immortal Martial Academy
Chapter 1621: Chapter 1622: Immortal Martial Academy
As soon as Ye Mo entered the Gate of Creation, he found himself in a white area. At the end of this area was a gigantic portal, guarded by numerous students on both sides.
"Halt, to enter the Immortal Martial Academy, show your proof."
When Ye Mo and his two companions reached the portal, they were immediately stopped by the students guarding it.
"You two may proceed. And you?"
Chen Yin and Chen Dachui both had ribbons, naturally proving their identities, while Ye Mo directly presented his token.
"You are a freshman. After entering the plaza, head to the right and someone will direct you."
"Thank you!"
The three of them proceeded directly through the portal.
Ye Mo’s vision blurred, and he emerged from another portal. Around this portal were dozens of others.
Ye Mo looked around and discovered this place was unlike anything he had seen before. It was clearly visible that both sides of the void beneath his feet were paved with white stone slabs. As far as the eye could see, it was ten thousand feet wide, suspended in the sky.
This was the plaza of the Immortal Martial Academy. Standing here was exactly like standing on the sky.
Moreover, in the surrounding space, Ye Mo could see many meteors floating at extremely distant places, even overhead.
Here, there was no distinction between day and night, yet it was brilliantly bright, exquisite as if it were a heavenly realm.
Especially as the surrounding air was filled with orange Immortal Qi, connecting directly to the Immortal Qi of the Second Layer. Cultivating here was naturally much better than on the Open Heaven Continent.
"Is this the Immortal Martial Academy? It’s indeed astounding, and it seems I haven’t even entered the academy’s main area yet."
Ye Mo exclaimed in amazement.
The sight of the Immortal Spirit City suspended in mid-air had shocked him, but this Immortal Martial Academy, directly floating above the sky, isolated from the world, could only be seen alongside the academy’s students.
At this moment, a significant flow of people was approaching from various portals. Within minutes, the vast plaza was filled with a crowd.
"Junior Brother, we must part ways. We also need to report in. We’ll come to watch your newcomer ranking battle and cheer you on."
As Chen Yin spoke, he bade farewell to Ye Mo and walked directly to the left.
As for Ye Mo, he naturally followed some of the crowd heading to the right, almost reaching the far right end of the plaza, where he indeed saw an enrollment point with many freshmen already queued.
As time passed, the flow of people became increasingly terrifying. With a freshman intake reaching one million, even if only a tenth arrived, it was a formidable sight.
Ye Mo didn’t bother to queue, figuring the enrollment process would last seven days. Even if he were the last to enter, it wouldn’t matter. He calmly sat down in a corner of the plaza. Another step beyond lay the endless starlit river, where Ye Mo could even sense the presence of Star Power.
Indeed, this was an excellent place, where there was no distinction between day and night, with meteors nearby. Ye Mo could summon Star Power at will, but he refrained from doing so unnecessarily, for relying too much on external forces would hinder his cultivation.
As more people arrived, the right side of the plaza was packed with a sea of people. Anyone entering this crowd would become instantly unremarkable.
"Ling Shan is here!"
Suddenly, a voice echoed from within the crowd, causing almost everyone to look toward the distance. A stunning silhouette slowly approached: dressed in black, with long, jet-black hair, a breathtaking appearance, and a cold and glamorous demeanor, she captivated everyone’s attention.
Especially since she possessed a rare Dark Immortal Body, and being the special recruit of this batch at the Immortal Martial Academy, she was surrounded by many rings of light.
"This Ling Shan is indeed beautiful. Not only that, she’s a special recruit and has been targeted by many of the academy’s senior students in the Earth Tier."
"Beautiful women usually don’t attract much attention at the Immortal Martial Academy; only those with both beauty and strength do. Ling Shan is undoubtedly the most dazzling existence among this year’s freshmen."
"You’re wrong. Among this year’s freshmen, there’s another person, a supreme prodigy with a 935 Potential Composite Score. I wonder where he is now."
"What? A 935 Potential Composite Score? How is that possible?"
"It’s said his realm is still that of a Lower-Ranked Immortal, but he’s only 29 years old, even more remarkable than Zhou Han back in the day."
The freshmen gathered on the right side of the plaza were all discussing Ye Mo and Ling Shan.
As Ling Shan arrived at the Immortal Martial Academy, she immediately began to search for Ye Mo, not looking through the crowd, as she knew Ye Mo wouldn’t queue but would wait until the end.
Indeed, she soon spotted Ye Mo sitting in a corner of the plaza, and she approached him without hesitation. She didn’t care about others’ views; as long as she could make Ye Mo fancy her, she could break off her engagement with Xuanyuan Ze.
While using Ye Mo might seem underhanded, she indeed felt some affection for him. If Ye Mo genuinely fell for her, it would be a win-win situation.
The crowd saw Ling Shan approach an unfamiliar young man, and all eyes turned to Ye Mo, an Upper Immortal with traces of the Law of Fire, a role that was certainly plentiful among the new students.
Looking at Ling Shan’s approach, Ye Mo smiled wryly and said, "Ling Shan, are you trying to make me everyone’s enemy?"
"With your talents, are you afraid of becoming enemies with others? I still have something to tell you from a month ago."
Ling Shan leaned in and whispered in Ye Mo’s ear, "The truth is, I like you, really, really like you. If you like me, be with me. If not, I’ll pursue you. After all, it’s said the chase between a girl and a boy is light. We’ll surely end up together."
Upon hearing this, Ye Mo was startled, never expecting the cold Ling Shan to say such things, and things he thought impossible.
"Ling Shan, you."
Ye Mo was taken aback.
"Just give me an answer."
Seeing Ye Mo’s shocked expression, she continued, "No need. I already know the answer, but I’ll continue to pursue you regardless."
"No, Ling Shan, I already have someone I like."
Ye Mo confessed honestly. Besides uncovering his Defier of Fate identity, his goal was to find Xiao Yue, leaving him no reason to get involved with other women romantically.
"I figured, since you’re a transcendental being from the secular world, it’s unlikely you lack a love interest. But a martial artist’s life is long, so having several romantic confidantes is normal."
Ling Shan wasn’t surprised by Ye Mo’s answer, showing her relentless determination, leaving Ye Mo helpless. He had never heard such a domineering confession before. Former suitors were always reserved, but this icy woman dared to confess directly.
