Soul Palace Training Ground
"Soul Old Ghost" pointed to the door curtain. From the outside, one couldn't see where the door curtain led to, only that the darkness behind it was absolute, with not a single ray of light penetrating through.
"Where does that door lead to?"
"The Soul Realm."
"The Soul Realm?"
"Soul Old Ghost" stood up like a zombie, and said slowly, "This is the passage to the Soul Realm. Only soul bodies can pass through it, but you are not yet qualified to go to the Soul Realm. You will be teleported to the Soul Palace Training Ground in the Black-Corner Region."
"The cultivation in the Soul Palace is not just about cultivating Dou Qi, but also focuses on cultivating the Soul and Soul Skills. You can also choose to train Soul Skills and fight with Souls."
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, looking at "Soul Old Ghost". Although he was only sixteen years old, he knew a lot of things because of that mysterious Storage Ring.
In this world, besides Dou Techniques, there is also a kind of Soul Skill, which is a method specially for cultivating the Soul and using Soul power to fight. However, Soul Skills are extremely rare. Even among the many collections in the Storage Ring, there are only a few books about the Soul, and the Soul Skills are only a few incomplete copies, completely impossible to cultivate.
For Xiao Yan, who is an Alchemist, the strength of his Soul power is even more crucial. He had always wanted to obtain a Cultivation Method and Soul Skill suitable for cultivating his Soul.
Unfortunately, not to mention the entire Wutan City, even the largest merchant family in the Gama Empire, the Mittel Family, had never had Soul Skills. Even Canaan Academy had not heard of any Cultivation Methods and Soul Skills for cultivating the Soul.
Xiao Yan had originally thought that Cultivation Methods and Soul Skills for cultivating the Soul had already been lost in the Dou Qi Continent. Now it seems that they were not lost at all, but were sealed off and not spread at all!
Xiao Yan now recalled that "Hun Xuzi" had never used Dou Qi at all, and had always used Soul power. At that time, "Hun Xuzi" was most likely just a Soul body, not a physical entity at all.
"Afraid?"
Xiao Yan smiled, did not answer, and walked straight into the dark passage.
Xiao Yan did not ask what would happen if he failed the trial. He had been thinking about it for two years. He had also thought about being a frog in a well, hiding in the Gama Empire for the rest of his life.
But two years had passed, and Xiao Yan's heart was slowly filled with unwillingness. In his previous life, he had been mediocre. How could he lose again in this life!
The moment Xiao Yan entered the Soul Realm passage, the Soul Token in his pocket automatically flew up, and the Soul Token emitted a Soul light that illuminated the entire space.
The light emitted by the Soul Token enveloped him, and Xiao Yan only felt a trance in his brain.
A moment later, a line of black characters suddenly appeared above the Soul Token.
[Age: 16, Cultivation: Eight-Star Dou Zhe, Cultivation Talent Evaluation: Yellow-Rank Low-Level.]
-_-|| Xiao Yan had black lines all over his head and a helpless expression. Yellow-Rank Low-Level, wasn't that the weakest! Having been born for so long, it was the first time he had been told that his talent was weak. If Xiao Yan knew that some people were born with strength comparable to a Dou Zong, he didn't know what he would think.
"Sigh, Xun Er is right, this world is really big."
[Assigned to Yellow-Rank Low-Level Training Ground.]
Before Xiao Yan could even complain, in the next second, under a burst of mental trance, he felt as if he had experienced the shifting of stars and instantly arrived in another space.
Xiao Yan opened his eyes and took a closer look. At this time, he was already on a circular arena. The arena was not large, equivalent to the size of an ordinary basketball court, surrounded by a special barrier with no exit.
With a buzz, a white light appeared. Not far in front of Xiao Yan, a man appeared, looking about thirty or forty years old, strong and healthy, holding a large knife, and after observing the surroundings, stared at Xiao Yan with a fierce look.
Battle! This was the first trial of the Soul Palace Training Ground.
Zhang Hongguang saw Xiao Yan looking around, with a very naive appearance, and was full of confidence. He smiled coldly and said, "Hahahaha, it's actually a little kid, what luck."
Xiao Yan reached out and caught the slowly falling Soul Token. On the back of the Soul Token, there were four more words: Yellow-Rank Low-Level, and a number 1 below.
"Boy, what treasure is that?" Taking advantage of Xiao Yan looking at the Soul Token, the burly man slowly approached step by step with a ferocious expression, his eyes fixed on Xiao Yan like a hunter hunting prey.
"You don't have this thing? Then how did you get in here?" Xiao Yan instead heard a piece of information and asked, raising the Soul Token.
But unfortunately, although the other party looked like a rough man, he was very cautious and did not say much.
"Why don't you give it to me to take a look? Of course, you have no right to refuse!"
The moment Zhang Hongguang approached within attack range, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he said grimly, "If you want to know, go to hell and ask King Yama!"
Zhang Hongguang suddenly exerted force, and the muscles in his legs suddenly bulged. He had actually cultivated a Yellow Rank Movement Dou Technique, which could give him a burst of power for a moment!
Xiao Yan didn't take it seriously at all, and leisurely put away the Soul Token. He had actually guessed what was going on.
"Die!" Seeing that Xiao Yan seemed to have not reacted, Zhang Hongguang was already complacent in his heart. He was a master of a mercenary group, and he was able to come here because of the group leader's recommendation. Their group leader told him that as long as he could enter a ruin and pass the trial, he could obtain powerful Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques.
In a fit of rage, a knife broke through the air, the knife was like a raging fire, fierce and domineering. Zhang Hongguang did not hold back at all, and slashed the knife directly at Xiao Yan's neck. This sword was full of deadly intent, and he wanted to cut off Xiao Yan's head with one blow! Xiao Yan did not retreat but advanced, taking a step forward. Zhang Hongguang's small movements were like a child's movements in the eyes of Xiao Yan, who possessed Soul power beyond his cultivation.
With his five fingers clenched into a fist, Xiao Yan slowly dodged the knife, and punched Zhang Hongguang's throat bone, instantly fatal, without any hesitation.
Xiao Yan did not show mercy like he did in the family competition and the Canaan Academy competition. The Soul Palace was not a kind place, it was the most primitive law of the jungle.
Since you entered here out of greed and brandished your blade at me, I have no reason to let you go. Moreover, Xiao Yan looked around; it seems this fighting stage doesn't allow for surrender.
Zhang Hongguang twitched a few times on the ground before losing all signs of life, a wisp of invisible Soul fragment being absorbed by this space. With Zhang Hongguang's cultivation as a Dou Zhe, he couldn't even become a Soul body.
The number on the Soul Token in Xiao Yan's hand changed from 1 to 2.
"So these are Soul Points."
Xiao Yan also confirmed his guess. From the conversation between Hun Xuzi and Soul Old Ghost, Xiao Yan roughly understood that they were members of the Soul Clan, and the Soul Palace was a family organization of the Soul Clan.
The Xiao Clan of Wutan City also had such an organization. After Xiao Yan's two older brothers, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, came of age, they took some basic Cultivation Methods, Dou Techniques, and a small amount of resources to establish a mercenary group in Mo Tie City.
The mercenary group naturally needed to recruit personnel, and the valuable resources they obtained would be transported to the clan, constantly expanding the family's sphere of influence.
Xiao Yan guessed that the Soul Clan and the Soul Palace had a similar relationship.
In fact, Xiao Yan didn't know that even Canaan Academy was originally founded by disciples of the Lei Clan, a Dou Di family.
Of course, the Soul Palace was far more massive than a mercenary group. The forces of the Soul Palace were probably hidden in every corner of the Dou Qi Continent, and it was even possible that there were traces of the Soul Palace in the Gama Empire.
