Outside the Divine Sword Bureau, there was a central plaza where many people appeared.
On the upper floors of the buildings, there were also people lying down and looking down at Xu Mo and his group.
They had all heard that today the Divine Sword Bureau was welcoming some newcomers, among whom one was already famous before even joining the bureau, achieving first place in the Transcendents competition—an accomplishment many of them had never achieved.
This newcomer was very formidable, so quite a few people were interested and wanted to have a look.
"The person in charge of the practical assessment, Yang Lan did that on purpose, right?" a man and a woman lying upstairs looked down below, both of them carrying an extraordinary temperament. The man had short hair, appearing crisp and neat, while the woman had blonde hair and blue eyes, very beautiful.
"Of course, he did," the woman replied.
"That’s right, a grudge match is interesting," the man laughed. "Do you think Ye Qiu will go all out?"
"Let’s see." Both of them looked forward.
Xu Mo and his two companions followed Yang Lan over to this side and then saw many people waiting for them.
Directly in front of them stood a man alone, whom Xu Mo had seen before but did not know personally. He had seen him once at the transcendent competition’s arena, where his appearance was met with cheering and thunderous applause, a very famous figure.

Ye Qiu, a former student of the Capital Royal Academy.
That time he went to the arena of the Transcendents competition to support Augustine, claiming he was there to watch Augustine defeat him and take first place.
Unexpectedly, they met at the Divine Sword Bureau.
It looked like Ye Qiu had entered the Divine Sword Bureau, and possibly, Augustine might also become a target invited by the bureau in the future.

In Ye Qiu’s hands, he held a Long Spear, similar to Augustine’s, but his was not as heavy.
Yang Lan tactfully walked away, leaving Xu Mo and his group facing Ye Qiu.
Xu Mo looked at Yang Lan. Was this really necessary?
It was obvious that Ye Qiu was here to fight.
Tanis’s body was already erupting with wild earthy yellow Energy Light, and Zero was also staring at Ye Qiu, her beautiful eyes revealing a fighting intent.
"Put on the Armor," Xu Mo said, then opened his suitcase, quickly changed into his Battle Armor, and took out his War Saber.
After changing into his equipment, Xu Mo walked forward only to see Ye Qiu’s body move, sprinting towards Xu Mo with great speed.
"Hiss hiss..."
Electricity flowed, forming a Source Power Field around him. Xu Mo gripped his War Saber and also charged towards his opponent.
The two soon met halfway, and Xu Mo slashed out with his War Saber.
Ye Qiu spun his Long Spear, his arm trembling, and suddenly swept out with the spear, accurately slapping it against the side of the War Saber.
A huge force transmitted from the War Saber, bouncing back and colliding with Xu Mo’s body, almost causing his wrist to break as his body was sent flying back.
Tanis gathered a Long Spear in his hands and it shot out explosively, straight towards Ye Qiu with an extremely explosive force, accompanied by a roaring sound as if it were snarling.
Ye Qiu’s arm shook, and he thrust his Long Spear straight out, its tip precisely stabbing the tip of the Long Spear, a terrifying burst of Energy Light shaking it, causing the Long Spear to immediately shatter and disappear from Tanis’s hands.
Ye Qiu did not stop moving, with a flick of his arm, the Long Spear shook and slapped against Tanis’s body, sending him flying back as well.
"Buzz."
Zero arrived, her sword carrying an aura of sword light slashing down from the air. Ye Qiu retracted his spear and blocked in front of him. A massive force came through, Zero’s spiritual power invading as she pressed down with her sword. Ye Qiu frowned, his Long Spear rubbing against the Divine Sword, then he pulled back slightly and then snapped forward explosively, with a loud bang, the spear charged with a wildly violent force, sending Zero’s body recoiling back.
All three, one after the other, were repelled back to their original positions, unable to shake Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu, Source Power Level A Minus.
"This is a practical evaluation, show some real skill," Yang Lan shouted from the side, Xu Mo and the others naturally guessed by then, having met Ye Qiu blocking their path upon just arriving at Divine Sword Bureau, the efficiency of the evaluation was really high.
But did Yang Lan purposely pick Ye Qiu?
Xu Mo realized, this guy Yang Lan, was very ’mean’.
Although both Xu Mo and Zero’s Source Power Levels were Grade B, their Combat Power displayed in the arena of the Transcendents competition, had been automatically categorized by Yang Lan in the top tier of B+.
Therefore, the top tier combatants of Grade B, both the first and second of the Transcendents competition and an intentionally forfeited Zero, using an A Minus Grade Ye Qiu for their practical evaluation was naturally the simplest and most effective approach.
They couldn’t possibly find someone of Grade B for evaluation, could they?
That probably wouldn’t show much either.
Inside the Divine Sword Bureau, people of this grade were essentially the weakest now, like Xu Mo and his party who were freshly invited, and their Combat Power was already at the top end of Grade B.
"Tanis, Zero, restrain him," Xu Mo said.
"Okay," Tanis nodded, his body flowing with a wild earthy yellow Energy Light, covering himself with a layer of Energy Armor, his Long Spear once again materializing and turning golden.
With a loud bang, Tanis’s body charged out explosively, Zero and Xu Mo moving simultaneously, charging towards Ye Qiu with the same speed as Tanis.
He naturally recognized Ye Qiu’s strength, with a Source Power Level A Minus, much stronger than them, facing one against three.
As he saw the three violently charging towards him, Ye Qiu stood his ground not moving, Long Spear in hand, his posture extremely graceful and natural.
As the three approached, he bent his body suddenly bursting forward, his Long Spear sweeping out, containing a powerful burst of Energy Light.
