Chapter 702: The Quasi Heavenly Grade Soul!
As soon as Guan Lan, the Deputy Palace Master of Yutian Palace, saw the six arcs of electricity and the three radiant lunar halos, she looked on with great admiration. She nodded and stated,
“Liu Xiaohu, a Soul Tamer at the Initial Stage of the Third Grade, with an Emperor Grade soul. After the examination, step forward, offer your blood as a pledge, and use your soul as proof to seal the registration emblem for Yutian Palace.”
“Hahaha…”
Jian Wannian laughed heartily, his pride swelling. Liu Xiaohu had surely lived up to his expectations.
Bai Mingshan’s gaze shifted uneasily as he watched Liu Xiaohu. At such a young age, Liu Xiaohu had already achieved the status of an Emperor Grade Soul Tamer at the Initial Stage of the Third Grade. It was a rare sight, a prodigious talent that seemed to be overshadowed by the dominance of Tianxuan Sect. Bai Mingshan felt a growing unease within him.
Elder Suyun was equally shaken. An Emperor Grade soul was truly remarkable. If everything went as planned, Tianxuan Sect would soon have another powerful Soul Tamer among its ranks.
Many of the younger disciples stood in awe, filled with envy. The Emperor Grade soul was an astonishingly rare and impressive gift of talent.
“Thank you, Palace Master Guan Lan.”
Once things settled down, Liu Xiaohu opened his eyes and respectfully acknowledged Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan, his pride and arrogance shining through. With the Emperor Grade soul, as he had anticipated, Liu Xiaohu now felt confident in his own abilities. He was certain that in the upcoming Saint Martial Assembly, he would carve out his own place and soon achieve great renown in the Central Region.
“Is the Emperor Grade soul really that powerful?”
Su Yi was still confused. Though the mysterious elder at the edge of the cliff had imparted some knowledge, it was far from comprehensive. He hadn’t even examined the materials available in the Divine Sword School, so he felt completely lost at this moment.
“Thank you, Palace Master Yun Ding,” Liu Xiaohu said gratefully.
“Thank you, Palace Master Yan Lu!”
In the queues around them, Zhao Chuannan and Wu Yu each received a Yutian Palace emblem. They proudly hung it on their shoulders before walking away.
Su Yi’s curiosity was piqued. He glanced at Zhao Chuannan’s emblem, which seemed to resemble two horns. Its antiqued bronze color shimmered with five arcs of electricity within.
Wu Yu’s emblem was identical, except that it gleamed with a silver-white hue, also displaying five electric arcs.
“Next!”
Deputy Palace Master Yun Ding and Deputy Palace Master Yan Lu called out, moving on to the next assessment.
A short while later, Liu Xiaohu’s emblem was engraved, and he stepped forward. Yet, he continued to hold a deep respect for the young man in purple silk attire. He raised his head, deliberately passing by Su Yi. His gaze was filled with unhidden sarcasm as he gave a faint cold snort, anticipating how this young man would soon embarrass himself.
“Let’s proceed with the next one!”
Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan said and began the next assessment.
“The disciple Gong Qianxing of Tianxuan Sect greets the Palace Master. He is twenty years old this year. Thank you, Palace Master Guan Lan, for your assistance.”
A young man in a deep purple robe from Tianxuan Sect stepped forward. His calm expression and enchanting features captivated those around him, and his aura radiated an undeniable presence.
Su Yi felt his attention drawn to this young man, sensing something extraordinary about him.
“Alright, let’s begin,” Guan Lan said with a gentle smile, his admiration already apparent before the assessment even began.
Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan proceeded with the usual procedure to assess Gong Qianxing.
Meanwhile, Jian Wannian’s expression grew serious. His gaze remained fixed on the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone, his heart filled with even more anxiety than when Liu Xiaohu had undergone his examination.
Only Jian Wannian knew the true importance of Liu Xiaohu to the Tianxuan Sect. Liu Xiaohu was one of the sect’s most promising disciples, a key figure in the future.
But now, the heart of the Tianxuan Sect was focused on the young man before them, undergoing the Soul Tamer assessment.
Gong Qianxing was the true future of the Tianxuan Sect—the pinnacle of their young generation.
A shimmering cocoon surrounded Gong Qianxing. His eyes remained tightly shut, and the gentle rustling of his robes accompanied the rippling stir of his soul.
“Boom!”
Almost simultaneously, the entire hall shuddered violently.
This tremor was unlike any other—it not only caused the entire hall to shake but also made everyone’s hearts tremble as though their very souls were vibrating.
“Boom!”
As the unusual tremor rippled through the hall, everyone’s expressions paled. The Soul Measuring Yuan Stone before Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan began to tremble violently. Invisible energy radiated from it, growing brighter and more intense, resembling the brilliance of a sun.
Outside, the light from the hall dimmed, and a surge of invisible energy began to ripple across the sky and earth.
Dark clouds formed in the sky, obscuring the sun and casting a shadow over the land.
“Boom…”
With Yutian Palace at the center, winds roared, clouds billowed, and the world seemed to shift, as dark clouds covered the sky.
“What’s happening?”
Within Central Region City, numerous onlookers turned their gazes to Yutian Palace in shock, while several cries of surprise filled the air.
“Roarrrr…”
Inside Yutian Palace, within the divisional palace’s detection hall, a thunderous roar echoed. Faint animal shadows appeared inside the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone.
A wave of intense spiritual energy swept out like a storm.
Such a disturbance overshadowed the activities of the two young alchemists and craftsmen who had been conducting their examinations. They had no choice but to halt their work.
The entire scene drew the attention of Deputy Palace Master Yan Lu and Deputy Palace Master Yun Ding.
In an instant, the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone blazed with light. Three radiant moon halos appeared. The stone emitted waves of fluctuating lightning, and on closer inspection, a faint seventh light flickered.
Astonishment swept through the hall. Several young disciples paled, trembling in fear from the overwhelming soul pressure.
Even Jian Wannian, Bai Mingshan, and Elder Suyun felt the pressure.
In this moment, only Su Yi and the woman in white appeared unaffected, though their expressions were filled with profound amazement.
“What a powerful soul emanation!”
Su Yi stood in awe. This emanation was not only powerful but exuded an overwhelming pressure. Now he understood why he had always sensed something extraordinary about Gong Qianxing.
The commotion had left the entire crowd stunned. Jian Wannian’s expression shifted, and he proudly lifted his head, delight filling his features.
His gaze fixated on the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone before Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan. As he observed the fluctuations, his heart raced with excitement.
“Just as I expected! The Tianxuan Sect is about to witness the rise of an extraordinary Soul Tamer!”
Listening to Jian Wannian, Bai Mingshan furrowed his brow in concern as he also observed the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone’s fluctuations.
On the walls of Central Region City, a wave of commotion surged before dissipating into silence.
Outside the testing hall, a soft glow spread and gently dispersed like the wind and clouds.
“Gong Qianxing, a Soul Tamer at the Quasi Heavenly Grade, a third-stage beginner, with a quasi-heavenly grade soul!”
Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan’s voice carried a note of astonishment as he spoke, and his words quickly reached the ears of everyone present.
