Chapter 704: The Half-Step Heavenly Grade!
"Rumble rumble..."
The Soul Measuring Yuan Stone continued to tremble, as if it was about to crack under the immense power of the soul.
With Li Qingwei at the center, her robes fluttering and hair dancing, radiance enveloped her, resembling the Holy Maiden. As a soul storm surged like a hurricane, spreading and impacting, it shook the grand hall.
In an instant, the entire Yutian Palace seemed to tremble, echoing with a resounding "rumble".
At this moment, the people in the inspection hall were astonished to discover a blockage in their vital energy. The souls in their minds were throbbing, and from the depths of their souls, a sense of absolute awe surged forth. Facing that young and graceful figure filled with vitality, they felt an overwhelming desire to worship!
This was a reverence on the level of souls, as the soul encountered the Soul King!
"Boom, boom!"
In the hall, several young disciples immediately felt their legs go weak, and they suddenly collapsed to the ground, pale-faced, with astonished and reverent eyes.
Su Yi's eyes trembled. At this moment, under the imposing aura of the soul, the soul in his mind also began to stir. The Heavenly Yuan Demonic Soul was rippling, as if it was being pulled by some mysterious force, causing it to surge and fluctuate.
The terrifying commotion was astonishing, but it only lasted for a while before coming to a sudden and complete halt, quietly dissolving into calmness.A gentle stir of the soul rushed back into Li Qingwei's heart.
On the walls of Central Region City, all the commotion had just emerged, lasting longer and becoming more intense compared to the earlier disturbance caused by Gong Qianxing.
"Again, what is happening?"
The wind blew away the clouds, causing many curious gazes within Central Region City. They were unsure of what had happened.
Inside the testing hall, the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone also calmed down.
But the gazes of Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan, Deputy Palace Master Yun Ding, and Deputy Palace Master Yan Lu couldn't calm down for a long time.
Li Qingwei's eyes, as beautiful as stars, opened. Her hair flowed loosely, adding to her extraordinary and mesmerizing charm. She greeted Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan with a polite bow and asked, "I wonder how my test results turned out?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Suyun, Bai Mingshan, Jian Wannian, and others all immediately cast their gaze upon Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan.
Although they had already sensed such commotion and had an idea in their hearts, they were still waiting for Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan's final test results.
"Initial Level Soul Tamer of Heavenly Grade three, a soul on the verge of reaching Heavenly Grade!"
Under the watchful gaze of many, Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan took a deep breath, his face filled with astonishment, and spoke out the test results.
"Huff..."
As Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan's words fell, several gasps of astonishment echoed throughout the hall. Bai Mingshan, Jian Wannian, and others all had their eyes wide open and were left speechless, their expressions changing drastically!
"Halfway to Heavenly Grade!" exclaimed.
Xi Wuqing's eyes welled up with astonishment, and he whispered softly, as if deeply shaken.
Gong Qianxing's countenance, with its deep and profound features, underwent a slight change in color.
Halfway to Heavenly Grade, it had already reached a level comparable to Heavenly Grade.
And his Quasi Heavenly Grade, to truly speak of it, was just incredibly close to the level of Heavenly Grade. In comparison, the former clearly had a slight advantage.
Zhao Chuannan's expression didn't look too good. He had always thought that, aside from Gong Qianxing, he had the best talent and aptitude. Little did he know that Li Qingwei from Qingyun Sect had a soul that was so formidable.
"Thank you, Palace Master Guan Lan, for your help."
With a semi-step Heavenly Grade soul, Li Qingwei nodded slightly, her expression lacking much joy. It seemed that she wasn't completely satisfied yet. A true Heavenly Grade soul was her ultimate goal.
"You're welcome, let's prepare to engrave the emblem."
Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan smiled warmly and said, "Being a Soul Tamer with such exceptional soul talent, at a semi-step Heavenly Grade, it is almost certain that with time, he will achieve greatness surpassing others. It is fortunate for him to be able to personally detect such gifted souls today."
Li Qingwei nodded and stepped forward to engrave the emblem.
"Congratulations, Elder Suyun."
Jian Wannian congratulated Elder Suyun, but deep inside, he felt a trace of jealousy. He had thought that Gong Qianxing was the one with the strongest soul talent in this soul detection, but little did he know that Li Qingwei would turn out to be even stronger.
"Congratulations, Elder Suyun, on Qingyun Sect gaining such a disciple."
Bai Mingshan also politely offered his congratulations, but deep inside, he felt extremely frustrated.
The Tianxuan Sect detected a Quasi Heavenly Grade soul, while the Qingyun Sect detected a Half-Step Heavenly Grade soul. This made him feel a bit discouraged, unable to hold his head up high.
"You two elders are being too polite. The Tianxuan Sect and the Divine Sword School are also full of talented individuals. I believe that the upcoming Saint Martial Assembly, which happens only once, will be particularly lively."
Elder Suyun spoke up, a smile filling her face at this moment. Although a Half-Step Heavenly Grade soul is not a true Heavenly Grade soul, it was still a rare sight to behold.
A true Heavenly Grade soul, how many years would it take for one to appear? The same as Heavenly Grade talent, they were almost only found in legends.
Rumors had it that a true Heavenly Grade soul was almost destined to become a powerful cultivator.
If a Soul Tamer were to possess a Heavenly Grade soul, in due time, they would be able to traverse the world and reach the pinnacle of power!
"I believe that during this Saint Martial Assembly, the Qingyun Sect will shine brightly!"
Jian Wannian spoke up with a slightly sour tone, Li Qingwei, a Soul Tamer with a Heavenly Grade soul, was also at the initial stage of the third-grade. There was no doubt about her strength.
"The Tianxuan Sect is also very powerful, with talented individuals emerging one after another. At the Saint Martial Assembly, it will surely attract attention from all directions."
Elder Suyun spoke with a sincere expression, although she had a clear understanding of Li Qingwei's strength, she sensed that her soul was at the half-step Heavenly Grade level.
However, this level of soul doesn't necessarily completely determine one's combat power.
Even with Tianxuan Sect's Gong Qianxing in front of us, who is also a third-grade initial stage Soul Tamer, it is still unknown who possesses the greater combat power.
Moreover, among other forces, there may also be extraordinary individuals that emerge.
With the exchange of pleasantries, Li Qingwei's emblem has also been engraved. After a graceful bow, she stepped down from the testing platform. The emblem on her shoulder gleamed with a radiant golden hue, shaped like a triangle with six dazzling lightning bolts inside. A faint seventh lightning bolt appeared as if it were about to materialize, more pronounced than the seventh lightning bolt within Xi Wuqing's emblem.
"Half-step Heavenly Grade soul!"
Looking at Li Qingwei, many of the disciples present were filled with admiration and awe. They were deeply moved by her presence, knowing that she was someone they aspired to but could not yet reach.
"Martial Sister Qingwei, you are the most skillful!"
Standing in the alchemist testing team was a joyful young girl of around fourteen or fifteen years old. She was beaming, with her head held high, feeling delighted for her senior martial sister.
Li Qingwei glanced sideways, giving a gentle smile. As she passed by Su Yi, she smiled and nodded gracefully, her eyes sparkling like stars and shining brightly, with no hint of arrogance.
Su Yi also nodded, but at this moment, he felt inexplicably nervous in his heart.
The two people in front seemed to have stronger test results, one outdoing the other. After all, Su Yi was still young at heart. If his own test result turned out to be unsatisfactory later, it would be somewhat embarrassing, wouldn't it?
"Let's move on to the next one!"
After taking a deep breath, Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan on the testing platform managed to restrain the calmness in her heart and proceeded to test the next one.
On the side, Deputy Palace Master Yun Ding and Deputy Palace Master Yan Lu were both waiting in anticipation. It seemed as though they wanted to pause for a moment before conducting the next test, in order to avoid any further interruptions.
Their previous tests had already been interrupted twice in a row.
"Is it my turn now?"
Su Yi took a deep breath, steadied his mind, and walked forward with determined steps.
