Chapter 40: Mutation
Chapter 40: Mutation
There were several chairs at both ends of the temple hall, on which sat several cardinals from the Wuhun Temple in Xicheng District and a man in a black robe.
These people are visitors to the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony.
Several instructors on the side were responsible for maintaining order and recording information on martial soul awakening.
Of all the people in the hall, the strangest one was the man in the black robe.
His whole body was wrapped in a long black robe, and his face was hidden under the robe and hat, so no one could see it.
There was an illusory aura all over his body.
He is none other than the elder of the Pope's Palace, Ghost Douluo Guimei.
The reason he appeared here was on the order of Pope Bibi Dong.
There is only one goal for this trip, and that is Ye Qifeng.
After Ye Qifeng awakened his martial soul, he took him to the Pope's Palace to meet the Pope.
Sivis, the platinum bishop of the Wuhun Temple in Xicheng District, was extremely surprised by the arrival of Guimei, the titled elder, in front of the Pope's Palace and at the same time felt a lot of pressure.
Because ghosts are in charge of punishment in the Spirit Hall.
When ghosts suddenly appeared in the Wuhun Temple in Xicheng District at the beginning, everyone in the entire temple was a little frightened, fearing that someone had caused a big disaster and would implicate themselves and attract the ghost's target.
Later, it was proven not to be the case, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Sivis really couldn't imagine why the ghost elder appeared here just to observe the martial soul awakening ceremony.
He was a little confused.
He saw the next batch of children who were awakening their martial souls coming in.
Sivis quickly gathered his thoughts and presided over the awakening ceremony again.
Inject soul power into the formation and light it up.
Afterward, one by one, the children, under the guidance of a gentle-looking female teacher who was about 30 years old, walked into the formation.
Follow the process, awaken the martial soul, test the innate soul power, record the information, and issue a soul master certificate.
Because the ceremony was presided over by the Contra-level Platinum Bishop Sivis himself.
The efficiency of awakening martial souls is very high—almost one person per minute.
Ye Qifeng stood in the team, watching curiously.
Because it is located in Wuhun City, the residents are all soul masters and the quality of the awakened martial souls of children born in Wuhun City is often quite good.
There are quite a few high-level martial souls with the innate soul power of level five or six. There are also a few close to the top martial souls with innate soul power of level seven, which is considered pretty good.
But when it comes to the orphanage, things are a bit disappointing.
Ye Qifeng stood at the back. Among the ten children in front, eight had useless martial souls without the potential to become soul masters, and the only two had only ordinary-level martial souls, with innate soul power of about level two or three.
"Alas, the quality of the martial arts awakening of the children in the orphanage this year is a bit low." Sivis couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Thinking of the three genius children two or three years ago, Sivis couldn't help showing a hint of disappointment on his old face. He shook his head and continued to preside over the ceremony.
Finally, it was Ye Qifeng's turn.
Following the soft guidance of the female teacher, he stood in the center of the hexagram formation.
Ghost Douluo Guimei, who was sitting on a chair nearby, suddenly opened his eyes, which were closed under the shadow of his black robe and hat, and looked over there.
Seeing that Ye Qifeng had already stood still, Sivis directly urged his soul power to be injected into the formation.
The hexagram formation suddenly shone brightly.
Ye Qifeng stood in the formation, his body surrounded by the blooming light. A comfortable feeling instantly filled his body. He felt that an invisible force was about to be drawn out, but it seemed that there was still a little bit missing.
A minute passed quickly, Ye Qifeng looked at his hands, and no martial spirit appeared.
"Hmm?" Sivis frowned and slightly increased his soulpower output.
Two minutes passed, and Ye Qifeng had nothing in his hands. His unique martial soul was still nowhere to be seen.
"Could it be?" At this time, Sivis seemed to realize something.
This familiar feeling was the same as when he awakened the martial souls of those three genius children two or three years ago.
Sivis was delighted at the moment, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily. He understood that this was a sign of the emergence of a top-level martial soul.
After presiding over the martial soul awakening ceremony for many years, he had already discovered some patterns.
The higher the grade of the martial soul and the higher the level of the innate soul power, the more soul power will need to be injected when the martial soul awakens.
When he presides over a ceremony now, he can roughly estimate the grade of the martial soul and the level of innate soul power in advance based on the amount of soul power input.
Sivis has a hobby, which is to awaken the martial spirits of those children and discover geniuses among them, just like opening a blind box and getting surprises and pleasure from it.
He enjoyed it and had fun with it.
Otherwise, he could just appoint a Soul Saint-level cardinal to preside over the Soul Awakening Ceremony, and he would not preside over the Soul Awakening Ceremony himself.
Another peerless genius will likely be born in his hands.
At this time, Sivis was a little nervous but also a little excited and expectant. He increased the amount of soul power he injected again.
However, another minute passed, and Ye Qifeng's hands were still empty.
He cast a questioning look at the Platinum Bishop Sivis standing beside him.
Sivis was also a little confused at this time and then continued to increase his soul power output. His soul power level went from Great Soul Master, Soul Master, Soul Sect, Soul King, to Soul Emperor...
It keeps rising and still doesn't stop.
Sivis's expression finally changed.
At this point, he felt that the awakening formation in front of him was like a bottomless pit, continuously draining the soul power from his body.
He has never seen this phenomenon before. It is so weird.
He doesn't understand.
But he did not stop; he continued to provide soul power.
The next moment, the soul power increased to the Soul Saint level.
At this moment, sensing the abnormal fluctuation of Sivis's soul power, Guimei stood up first, followed by several cardinals of the Temple.
Everyone looked in surprise at Sivis and Ye Qifeng, who were surrounded by colorful lights in the field.
At this time, Ye Qifeng had closed his eyes. He could feel that something was about to come out of his body.
Suddenly, a dark figure emerged from behind Ye Qifeng.
The human figure was like a pitch-black shadow, and his shape and appearance were the same as Ye Qifeng's. It was extremely special—a somewhat blurry black shadow, giving people a sense of illusion.
A faint black light emerged on the surface of the black shadow, swaying like black fire.
It has neither the scorching heat of fire nor the coldness of darkness. Instead, it gives people a gentle feeling, very comfortable and warm, like a spring breeze.
Next moment.
The moment the figure appeared, the temple hall suddenly darkened, and the originally clear sky turned gloomy.
At this moment, above the Wuhun Temple in Xicheng District, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred. A huge vortex of black light suddenly appeared, slowly spinning and twisting. The black light in the vortex spread out, and the darkness was overwhelming, filling the entire sky as if night had fallen.
The sudden change made everyone in the temple open their eyes wide in shock.
Platinum Bishop Sivis, who had been drained of most of his soul power, finally stopped supplying soul power when he saw that his martial soul had awakened.
"A strange phenomenon appeared in the sky!"
Seeing this scene, Sivis was so shocked that his body trembled uncontrollably. He stammered for a long time before he could speak.
The temple staff at the scene expressed their opinions one after another, saying that they had never seen such a strange scene.
"There is a strange phenomenon in the sky. I'm afraid that a great martial soul has awakened!"
"What kind of martial soul is this, so terrifying?!"
"This is incredible!"
…
"A strange phenomenon appeared in the sky—a god-level martial soul!!" Guimei murmured in his heart. He remembered that this was the same god-level martial soul as the young master.
"Not good." At this moment, Guimei suddenly felt a shock in his heart.
He didn't care about anything else and immediately flashed to Ye Qifeng's side and said quickly:
"Quickly use your mind to collect your martial soul."
It was too noisy.
It would easily attract the covetousness of spies from other forces in Wuhun City.
Such talents must be hidden and protected, and they must not be detected or known by external forces.
