As Xuan Ji spoke out, Ye Changsheng naturally dared not say anything else as he stared at Ye Mo with hatred-filled eyes before sitting down.

“Five sealing artists who have registered for the competition!” After Xuan Ji spoke, there was immediately a middle-aged league member who loudly announced the competitors, who stood in a row to listen to him. “I am an honorary fighter in the Xuan Ji League. I will be announcing the rules for this competition.”

The middle-aged league member loudly continued, “This competition will be split into three segments. Points will be awarded according to your placing in each segment, ranging from one point to five points. The competitor with the highest total amount of points will become an honorary sealing artist of the Xuan Ji sub-league.”

The five of them found their respective positions. Ye Mo looked at the Xuan Yun Crystal Table and was not surprised. These type of tables were indeed helpful for sealing artists to draw the seal texts. However, a true sealing artist master had no need for such tables.

The middle-aged member took out five heart-stones from his Dimensional Bracelet and said, “The first round of competition will be testing the types of seals that the five of you can cultivate. These are five different elemental heart-stones – metal, wood, water, fire, earth. The five of you will draw lots to determine which heart-stone you will be assigned. After you receive the heart-stone, you are to cultivate a seal of its elemental nature. The stronger your seal, the higher your points.”

Hearing that, Ye Mo’s eyebrows twitched slightly. This was indeed a somewhat new competition format.

Some sealing artists only focused on a single type of seal while others would pick other types to learn as well.

Seal types were diverse, just like marital techniques. No one would dare to claim that they knew how to cultivate all the different seal types.

If you chose an elemental type that you were not familiar with, you would be able to do nothing but suffer in silence regardless of how highly trained your seal techniques were.

Indeed, as the middle-aged league member read out the rules, besides Ye Mo, the other four league members, Huo Qingyun included, showed uneasy expressions on their faces. This Xuan Ji League Chief’s test was very unique.

“The first round of the competition shall commence down here. Beneath your feet are texts corresponding to the elements. Take your heart-stones according to sequence. Your seal papers are already placed on the Xuan Yun crystal tables.”

“I am water!” Ye Mo said as a water elemental heart-stone shot towards his table. Huo Qingyun got an earth elemental heart-stone. Seeing his troubled expression, Ye Mo could guess that he definitely did not get an element that he was familiar with.

“Darn it, I am assigned the earth elemental heart-stone, the element that I am least familiar with,” Huo Qingyun vented his frustrations inside his heart as he turned to look at the people on either side of him. Seeing their equally troubled expressions, he calmed down.

“Since it has to be a water elemental seal, let me cultivate a Burden Water Seal.” Ye Mo thought of what he was going to make and started to cultivate it. This time, he did not throw the seal in the air and draw out the seal texts in mid-air, instead choosing to follow the rules and cultivate the seal by drawing with both fingers. Having perfected his control of the water elemental energy, it only took an instant for Ye Mo to complete the seal, coming in as the fastest to do so.

“I’m done!” Ye Mo said loudly as he held up the completed seal.

Everyone in attendance could not help but be surprised. Was cultivating a seal so easy? A few strokes with a finger on the seal paper was all it took?

“How is it possible that Ye Mo cultivated it so quickly?”

Ye Changsheng was also surprised. “That is definitely a First Order Seal, not anything noteworthy.”

Following Ye Mo’s successful cultivation of his seal, Huo Qingyun and the other three sealing artists also completed their seals.

“The first one to successfully form a seal was Ye Mo. Coming in second is Huo Qingyun, third place Huang Xiaohu, fourth place Luo Fei, fifth place Li Hei. In order to maintain the suspense, let’s begin with Li Hei. Explain the seal that you have cultivated and test its effectiveness,” the middle-aged league member said.

The surrounding league members turned their gaze towards the seal in Li Hei’s hand. A fiery light continuously twirled around above the seal text like a snake.

“This is a First Order Attack Seal named the Fiery Snake Killer Seal. When energy is channeled above the seal, a 30-feet long Giant Fiery Snake will jump out and attack the enemy. This seal can easily kill a fighter in the Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm and is suitable for fighters in the Spirit Cultivating Eighth and Ninth Realm!”

As Li Hei said this, he channeled energy above the seal, and a 30-feet Giant Fiery Snake immediately appeared from thin air. However, it vanished in an instant.

Xuan Ji was seen nonchalantly resting her head on her arm as she said, “Not bad, this seal does have the force of a Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm fighter. Next.”

Luo Fei and Huang Xiaohu also stepped forward to explain and demonstrate their own seals, but those seals were only First Order Seals.

Huo Qingyun stepped forward and took out his own seal as he said, “Master Xuan Ji, this is an earth elemental seal named the Earth Armor Seal, a Defense Seal. When unleashed upon yourself, an Earth Armor will be generated, allowing you to directly defend against an Energy Shaping Third Realm attack!”

“That seal can withstand an Energy Shaping Third Realm attack? That is insane!”

“When this competition is over, I will buy one from Master Huo. It’ll act as a last resort when I am doing missions.”

Hearing the numerous sighs of awe from the crowd, Huo Qingyun smiled proudly. Ye Changsheng also smiled and nodded his head, evidently satisfied with the seal cultivated by Huo Qingyun.

Huo Qingyun activated the seal on himself. A layer of Earth Armor covered his body.

With a flick of Xuan Ji’s finger, the Earth Armor shattered completely.

“It can barely block an Energy Shaping Third Realm attack. Next.”

Huo Qingyun looked at Ye Mo with a satisfied look. Being the first to finish cultivating must mean that Ye Mo’s seal was nothing good.

Ye Mo stepped forward and said, “Master Xuan Ji, the seal that I cultivated is called the Burden Water Seal. This seal is not attack-based, but when unleashed on an Energy Shaping Seventh or Eighth Realm fighter’s body, the fighter’s movement speed will be halved. For Energy Shaping Sixth Realm fighters and below, they will be completely restrained.”

As Ye Mo finished speaking, everyone was in shock. Even Xuan Ji started to sit upright, looking curiously at the seal in Ye Mo’s hand.

“Ye Mo, you are lying. How is there such a magical seal in this world? I’ve studied seals for over 20 years, and I have never heard of anything like the Burden Water Seal,” Huo Qingyun immediately shouted. He was completely in disbelief that Ye Mo would be able to cultivate such an unusual seal.

“Is there any league member who would like to come forward and give it a try? It will be best if it’s an elite league member. Anyone willing to put their body to the test will receive a Burden Water Seal as a gift!”

As Ye Mo spoke, he took out an already cultivated Burden Water Seal from his Dimensional Bracelet.
