Chapter 1612: Proving One’s Identity

"Shi Ran and Achu have very high soul qualities! They quickly understand everything. These past few days, they have gained a general understanding of the knowledge about medicine and instruments. Has the master borrowed the materials from the other continent?"

Gu Yue said softly, "Yes, we have borrowed them. However, compared to Zuo Qiufeng and the others, what we can find, they can find too! So it’s difficult to achieve a surprising victory!"

Tian Chang immediately looked worried, if Su Yi couldn’t come back, the fate of Yutian Palace’s soul comparison would be in danger.

"Since things have come to this point, we can only take it step by step!" Gu Yue sighed softly. At this moment, what Old Man Gu Yue was worried about in the soul comparison was not whether they would win or not, but whether the main of Yutian Palace would forgive Su Yi and let him leave alive!

"Where is Miss Han?" Gu Yue asked softly, as soon as he came back, such a thing happened and he didn’t see Han Yurou’s figure.

"Oh right, disciple forgot to report this. Miss Han said she wanted to go out for a while and will be back before the competition!" Tian Chang bowed and said.

Elder Gu Yue’s weathered face wrinkled his brows, and he murmured softly, "We mustn’t provoke that person to come here! Yutian Palace is already troubled enough now, internal troubles are enough to worry about, we don’t need external troubles!"

Then he looked at Tian Chang and said, "Sang’er, in the future, you will be in charge of Lingyue Peak. Grow up quickly, take responsibility, and only then can the master feel at ease!"

Tian Chang also understood that he didn’t do well in the incident where Su Yi was injured by Elder Tong. He instantly lowered his head and agreed, then went back to his room to prepare for the Yutian Soul Race the next day.

The east is about to dawn, and the sky is filled with morning glow.

The sky, shining like a sharp sword, cuts through the long silence of the night. Today is a special day that all Yutian Palace people have been eagerly waiting for – the Yutian Soul Race.

The Yutian Soul Race consists of four parts: martial cultivation, alchemy, weapon refining, and soul refinement.

Martial cultivation is the first part of the Yutian Soul Race. Even though Yutian Palace excels in alchemy and soul arts, the path of martial arts is also something they cannot ignore.

Among the six continents, three states, and one sea, a Soul Tamer is an extremely powerful force. A Soul Tamer must be a warrior, but not all warriors are Soul Tamers.

In martial cultivation, besides using vital energy techniques, employing alchemy formulas, Dharma Tools, or manipulating residual spirits, anything else is still within the allowed range. In the outside world, any means could be the key to survival in critical moments.

Therefore, in today’s Yutian Soul Race, it starts with alchemy, followed by weapon refining and soul refinement, and finally each team selects one person to participate in the martial cultivation competition.

The winner of the martial cultivation competition is, to some extent, considered the top person in Yutian Palace. At any time, martial strength is the fundamental factor that determines everything.

The Yutian Soul Race also has rules for alchemy and crafting, because they are very time-consuming and require a lot of focus. They evaluate the quality of the potions and weapons based on their level and the time it takes to complete them.

If two Dharma Tools are of the same level, the one with a higher level of completion will win. If the completion levels are the same, then the higher level tool wins.

Therefore, having advanced equipment and materials will greatly help the contestants to win.

In the morning, the gentle dawn awakened the majestic Yutian River, which looked even more magical today with its thick white aura enveloping the valley, shining like a divine light.

Gu Yue, Tian Chang, Li Shiran, and Achu, along with two other disciples, were all ready and standing at the top of Lingyue Peak, with great anticipation.

"Shi Ran and Chu’er, today is your day to shine at the Yutian River! Let the Yutian Palace see how excellent my three disciples are!" Gu Yue, who had not slept all night, encouraged everyone with a smile, stroking his beard.

Tian Chang, Shi Ran, and Achu smiled with some hesitation, feeling a bit unsure in their hearts.

The best materials right now are the ones borrowed by Old Man Gu Yue from various places, as well as the Dao Tool cauldron he gifted himself.

"Let’s go!" Gu Yue’s face suddenly became calm.

"Whoosh!"

The space ripples quickly spread apart, and the old man named Guyue transformed into a huge stream of light. The red light was overflowing, with four faint streams of light passing behind him.

Yutian River, a majestic river that flows three times around, Zhongzhen Great Peak is especially lively today. Zhongzhen Square, which was previously damaged by Su Yi and Elder Tong, has been renovated. The atmosphere is extremely intense, and everyone is secretly amazed. This must have added a very powerful prohibition.

Everyone was extremely surprised by how intense the battle between Su Yi and Elder Tong was before. It’s hard to imagine how earth-shattering that battle was.

Most of the one hundred and ten scattered teams have also arrived early. The five-person teams, along with their respective elders leading the way, stood on the high platform. Some people with good relationships greeted each other and discussed the upcoming Yutian Soul Race.

On the high platform, Zuo Qiufeng, Wu Kun, and Cheng Gaoming were already sitting in their chairs. Each of them dressed in fine clothes, with a solemn expression. Their respective disciples were positioned near the square.

Zuo Qiufeng had a solemn and serious expression. Today was undeniably important to him. Winning the hearts of the people and showcasing his strength were his final steps towards proving himself to Yutian Palace.

Wu Kun and Cheng Gaoming indeed had furrowed brows and unhappy faces. They glumly looked at the excited faces on the various high platforms. Both of their disciples had been involved in the Su Yi incident and were heavily injured by him. Their souls were also greatly damaged in the Mountain Defense Formation.

"If it weren’t for the accumulation of medicinal pills, today we wouldn’t even be able to participate!" Wu Kun said angrily. Just like Cheng Gaoming, he hoped to hear news of Su Yi’s death today!

It’s best to punish Palace Master on the spot to resolve one’s hatred, and the peak behind Zhongzhen peak is still calm as usual.

Yutian Soul Race, Duanmu Xiaoman has been participating in every session, but in the recent sessions, Duanmu Xiaoman has gradually stopped participating directly and instead listens to reports from the representative Palace Master.

Will Duanmu Xiaoman come to participate in the Soul Competition this time because of Su Yi’s situation?

Zuo Qiufeng thought to himself, from the beginning, he never thought Su Yi would die. If the unpredictable Duanmu Xiaoman suddenly loses control, the situation would be hard to handle.

"Both Deputy Palace Masters, please give orders to the powerful elders. Today, definitely support me!" Zuo Qiufeng’s expression turned serious.

Wu Kun and Cheng Gaoming exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing complex and nervous emotions. Facing Duanmu Xiaoman, everyone knew how terrifying she was. Gritting their teeth, the two went downstairs to make arrangements.

After a while, when most of the people had gathered, Zuo Qiufeng tidied his clothes and emotions. His elegant attire and the rich aura around him displayed his authority and pressure as a high-ranking figure.

Clearing his throat, his deep and old voice spread throughout the square. The powerful gust of wind spread across the stage like a wave.

"With the Yutian Soul Race approaching, the rules are the same as before: alchemy, forging, soul control, and martial arts in that order. Alchemy and forging are divided into morning and afternoon of the first day, the second day is the soul control competition, and the third day is martial arts. It spans three days, so there’s no time to waste! Now, all participating disciples should come to the square with the elders to verify their identities!"
