Chapter 705: Overestimating One's Abilities!
"Hehe..."
As Su Yi approached, Jian Wannian, who had been feeling displeased, discreetly raised an eyebrow and smirked.
Such a young boy made him extremely displeased, but surprisingly, he was also testing to become a Soul Tamer.
However, with two Soul Tamers possessing exceptional soul talents ahead of him in the testing, it seemed that there might be a moment when the young boy would feel embarrassed.
"Hmph!"
Zhao Chuannan let out a faint cold snort from his throat. Although his limelight had been stolen, how could this young boy in front of him even be compared to him? Arrogant little kid, there would be a moment when he would embarrass himself.
"Do not worry, did you ever have a mountain gate? How old are you this year, so we can conveniently assess your soul's quality?"
As Su Yi stepped forward and stood on the testing platform, Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan smiled and gently asked in a soft voice, as if afraid that the previous exceptional performance of the two Soul Tamers might put immense pressure on Su Yi and affect his performance.
"Master Yi Su from the Overlord Sect, greets the elder. I am a young boy of sixteen years old. Thank you for your help, elder."
Su Yi bowed respectfully, displaying both humility and confidence.Su Yi had a very favorable impression of these Deputy Palace Masters, and he had never concealed his age.
The tests conducted by Gong Qianxing and Li Qingwei did indeed add a lot of pressure to Su Yi.
Su Yi, like any other person, worried that the outcome of the test would be too embarrassing considering the impact of age on the judgment of one's character and inner qualities.
"Are you just sixteen years old..."
Upon hearing this, the people present looked at each other with a hint of surprise.
Su Yi's disguise made him appear to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, so when they heard that he was only sixteen, everyone couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
However, some people naturally have a more mature appearance, and no one would question it too much.
This kind of test, surely no one would deliberately hide the truth.
It is easy to detect the amount of time one has spent in cultivation on the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone, so trying to intentionally conceal one's age is difficult to pass through.
"The testing process, just relax and don't have any pressure. Now let's begin the testing."
Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan nodded, seemingly showing extra care towards Su Yi, as a favor to Xi Wuqing. After giving him special instructions, she formed hand seals and began the continued testing.
Su Yi, too, secretly adjusted his mindset, and at this moment, there was no doubt that he was feeling quite nervous.
In the past, during the examination in martial arts, Su Yi was deemed suitable only as a menial servant.
Although on this journey, Su Yi had already proven with his own abilities that he was not inferior to any genius, as they had previously believed of him being just a menial servant.
But at this moment, this soul examination also made Su Yi nervous.
"Crash, crash..."
Upon the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone, a radiant light began to emit, dazzling and eventually enveloping Su Yi as if he were encased in a cocoon of light.
Under the glaring light, Su Yi's eyes immediately became unable to see properly and he tightly shut them.
At this moment, curious gazes from the hall were cast upon him.
After all, besides Su Yi, the ones present were all disciples of the Three Great Factions being examined.
Everyone was curious about this disciple of the Overlord Sect, a faction they had never even heard of before among the Three Great Factions. They wondered what kind of soul quality this Soul Tamer would possess.
Xi Wuqing and the Green Emperor's gaze shifted onto Su Yi.
Especially Xi Wuqing, his eyes narrowed slightly, seemingly a little nervous.
Xi Wuqing knew that Su Yi's soul was extraordinary and unique, but he was still unsure of the extent of Su Yi's soul quality.
Wrapped in a cocoon of radiant light, within the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone, a subtle and invisible ripple quietly spread into Su Yi's forehead.
Su Yi could feel clearly that this was a pure energy, surging directly into his forehead, as if trying to penetrate into his own soul.
With the advice of Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan and the examination by others, Su Yi relaxed. This energy didn't seem to cause any harm to him.
Su Yi, however, still had some concerns. He wondered if the mysterious space in his mind would absorb the energy from the Yuan Testing Stone, just like it absorbed the energy from the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone, leaving it completely drained.
However, this Soul Measuring Yuan Stone seemed to be more than just a simple Yuan Stone. Su Yi hoped that the mysterious space would have no reaction, otherwise this test might not be able to be completed.
Luckily, as the energy surged into his forehead, the mysterious space remained completely silent without any reaction. Su Yi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
The energy surging into his forehead was gentle, carrying a hypnotic touch, and slowly spread throughout Su Yi's ocean of souls.
At this moment, only Su Yi could feel the energy from the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone spreading through his mind and soul, bringing an indescribable pleasure. It was like a gentle breeze, making him feel drowsy and sleepy.
In Su Yi's mind at that moment, his soul began to tremble, gently swaying with a faint crimson hue.
Inside Su Yi's mind, there was a space-a pure space formed by the concentration of soul power. The soul power surged like waves, spreading within as the energy from the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone diffused into it. It was as if a calm water surface suddenly had a small stone thrown into it, creating layer upon layer of ripples.
But Su Yi's soul ocean only rippled slightly in response, without much of a reaction.
In the testing hall, under the watchful gaze of many, even Deputy Palace Master Yun Ding and Deputy Palace Master Yan Lu were eagerly interested. They wondered if another genius would appear.
After all, the one accompanying them was a mighty Soul Tamer. The people he brought with him might also be extraordinary.
Unfortunately, on the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone, after a long while, there was not much of a reaction. Enveloped in a cocoon of light, Su Yi's eyes remained closed, and he appeared unfazed.
Everything was calm and peaceful, without any unnecessary special reactions.
Ten breaths, twenty breaths, after a good while, under the watchful gazes, the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone still showed no signs of a response.
Deputy Palace Master Yun Ding and Deputy Palace Master Yan Lu had originally shown a hint of anticipation, but gradually, their expressions faded away.
It seemed that everything had already become a foregone conclusion. This Yi Su from the Overlord Sect, although a Soul Tamer, appeared quite ordinary, to the point where he couldn't even pass the Yutian Palace's assessment.
In such a scene, Xi Wuqing was also surprised. His face showed a look of confusion. With his intuition, Su Yi's soul would definitely not be ordinary.
"Hehe, overestimating oneself. It's not something that just anyone can come to Yutian Palace and participate in the test."
Jian Wannian's soft voice emanated, filled with mocking and ridicule, without any attempt to conceal it.
He wasn't really mocking and ridiculing Su Yi, just a young and inexperienced boy, whom he didn't pay attention to.
Jian Wannian's mocking was aimed at Xi Wuqing, an elder of Tianxuan Sect. Even though he was an extraordinary Soul Tamer, so what?
"Hehe..."
Bai Mingshan also smiled lightly, as it seemed that not everyone could participate in the Yutian Palace's assessment.
"Who are the cat and the dog? Can anyone participate in the Yutian Palace's test? How presumptuous!"
Zhao Chuannan's mouth curled up with a hint of a cold smile curve, indeed, there are times when kids feel embarrassed, unable to pass even the Yutian Palace's test, what qualifications do they have to be arrogant in front of him.
