Chapter 200: Outer League Strength Examination

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

The Outer League Strength Examination was an event held once every six months, with the purpose of uncovering league members with great potential. Members with great strength would be able to showcase their talent while weaker ones without potential did not have the need to take this examination.

This strength test was to be attended by a few high-level elders, in addition to the Outer League Mentors Association, the host of the test.

Cultivating disciplines was a pastime enjoyed by the elders. Having trained all their lives, their strength level usually stagnated at the True Energy Fifth Realm. Without being able to venture forward, there was no urgency or need to discover the Transcendence Realm.

These days, the training qualities of the fighters were increasingly better, with fresh, new talents more widespread now than ever. How many fighters of the caliber of elites like Ye Ji and Cheng Yihan would be discovered in the future was anyone’s guess.

These old people also hoped to nurture a few generational talents—the stronger their disciples were, the higher their status would be, naturally.

Everyone was gathered at the Qingyun League Square, which could hold tens of thousands of people. The Square was already packed—a glance across the Square showed crowds of people crushed together.

However, all the members in attendance were from the Outer League, with a minimal number of Inner League members; this type of event was meaningless for them.

The few 70 or so 80-year-old elders were already in their seats, each holding reports on each of the new league members. These reports included detailed information about Ye Mo and the other disciples, such as Ye Mo’s victory in the Limestone Rankings, strength, changes to his strength at the point of entering the examination, and more.

This examination’s main focus was on Ye Mo’s cohort of league members.

Ye Mo was fully prepared, squeezing himself in among the crowd with Suifeng and the others, waiting for the test to begin.

What followed were a bunch of light rays sporadically shining down from the sky as shadows dropped down, among them waves of people flying towards the Square. These people, league members from the three main sub-leagues, had stronger auras.

In order to join the three main sub-leagues, one had to have the strength of an Inner League member at the very least, or be in possession of unique talent or potential. If the leagues spotted the talents they desired, they would attempt to recruit them.

The purpose of their visit was to recruit league members into their own sub-leagues, further increasing their group’s strength.

“While this may only be an Outer League Strength Test, this event is still watched by many strong fighters.” Ye Mo thought to himself. He could feel plenty of strong waves of true energy around him. While he could not see the shadows, he could feel that he was constantly being watched.

“This is my time to shine. So long as I display enough potential, even if I end up being brought to the Legal Division, there will be someone willing to bail me out.”

Ye Mo was filled with ambition. Looking at the people around him getting pumped up, he too felt a sudden rush of excitement.

Entering the Qingyun League, Ye Mo never dared to display his abilities excessively. Now, with the Rising Dragon Pillar hidden perfectly by Ling’er’s seal and having picked up the Technique of Interchangeability, he was confident about putting up a good fight against an Energy Shaping Fifth Realm fighter.

Of course, Ye Mo’s biggest achievement was not to advance into the Energy Shaping Realm, but his increased understanding of wills and auras despite failed attempts to discover his own will.

All of a sudden, the sound of a horn was heard. All the Outer League members were alerted; everyone was definitely on edge.

Today, a batch of Outer League members would enter the Inner League based on their strength, and another batch would be determined as lacking in strength and subsequently completely abandoned by the Qingyun League.

“It’s finally starting!”

“The new batch of Outer League members, follow me to this side.”

A cold voice was heard, and Yao Yue was seen landing on a huge stone pillar. The new batch of Outer League members all gathered towards the giant stone pillar.

A month of training and recuperation allowed everyone’s aura to level up a tier.

“Because all of you are the new batch of Outer League members who have joined the league for just over a month, having poor results in this examination will not have too much of an impact. However, for league members with excellent performances, they may be spotted by the Qingyun League elders, who will provide one-on-one training, a very rare opportunity.”

As Yao Yue finished speaking, a group of Energy Shaping Second Realm members’ eyes widened and filled with passion and excitement

Being handpicked by an elder was akin to taking a step up towards the heavens – even some elite league members did not receive such treatment.

Elite league members are largely members with powerful strength but insufficient potential levels. They had worked their way to their current position through years of hard work in the Qingyun League.

“What are the rules for the test? Is it a training examination or a one-on-one fight?” asked one of the league members.

“The test was initially an offense examination, but the higher-ups have discovered that this batch is particularly abundant in promising talent. Hence, I have decided to arrange for a special examination. I have picked a few Inner League brothers to spar with you all. They are all in the Energy Shaping Fourth Realm. I only picked 10 Inner League members, which means that 10 of you will go on to challenge them.”

Yao Yue gave Ye Mo an intentional glance as she spoke, “Those who can last for 10 rounds may have a chance of being noticed by the elders.”

“Fighting against a senior in the Energy Shaping Fourth Realm? Are you kidding? How can we possibly endure for ten rounds?” one of the Energy Shaping Second Realm members asked.

“All of you are Outer League members from the new batch. You can choose not to go up, just treat it as a spectacle. The previous batches of members are about to start their examination. However, their tests will be easier,” said Yao Yue.

“Why?” one of the members asked.

Ye Mo thought deeply for a moment and replied, “The batch of league members before us have been a part of the league for over a year, which means that they would have already experienced such tests twice. Those with potential would have been picked already. Those left are the ones with insufficient potential. Hence, the Qingyun League should be placing their focus on our cohort for this test.”

Ding ding ding!

A series of chimes could be heard as everyone turned their attention to the center of the Square. The test was about to begin.

“Everyone, the Outer League Strength Test begins!” All of a sudden, a bright voice rang throughout the whole square.

This voice was extremely bright—a soundwave technique. The fighter capable of utilizing such techniques was at least in the Energy Shaping Fifth Realm.

As the clapping slowly faded, the voice was heard again. “First up will be the elder league members’ test of strength. Fighters in the Energy Shaping First Realm, make a 10-degree indent on the Seal Rock to pass or face downgrading to be in charge of miscellaneous duties. Fighters in the Energy Shaping Fourth Realm, make a 40-degree indent in order to advance to the Inner League.”

Among the crowd, Luo Min searched for Yan Shihan, eventually spotting a lady covering with face with a veil. She revealed a gentle smile.

“That veil won’t hide your ugly face. When you fail the test, I will pull off that veil and completely expose your ugly face to the whole of the Outer League.”
