Chapter 151, Testing Soul PowerThere was no tension in the first confrontation between Cao Ying and Xiao Li. It was like a reunion between two old friends. But this still makes many people jealous. After all, there were countless people who wanted to talk to Cao Ying but didn't have the chance, but Xiao Li was able to get Cao Ying to talk to him actively. How can one not be envious? After the Cao family arrived, all the people from the five major families were present. The center of the hall suddenly shook, and then the ground slowly rose, revealing a spacious square. In the square, an old man stepped forward. "Everyone, I will still be the one to preside over the assessment of the five major families this time. Is that okay with you?" "Elder Sheng, with your status, who dares to object?" Cao Ying said with a sweet smile. No one else dared to speak.
After all, Elder Sheng’s status is too high, and everyone present must be polite to him. "This is Elder Sheng Yao, one of the eight elders of Danta and a true high-level leader of Danta." Ye Zhong gave Xiao Li a brief introduction. Xiao Li nodded. "You are such a sweet girl." Elder Sheng laughed, then turned his gaze to the whole audience. "Okay, the assessment is about to begin. The examinees from the five major families are welcome to enter." As Elder Sheng finished speaking, several figures began to leave the stage. The assessors for the Dan family and the Cao family are Dan Xuan and Cao Xiu. The Bai family’s is White Eagle. The Qiu family is Qiu Ji. They are all outstanding young people in their respective families and are extremely talented. "Without further ado, today's assessment is about to begin." Elder Sheng stepped back a few steps and lifted a piece of black cloth, revealing a crystal stone more than two meters high. "The assessment is divided into three parts, the first of which is soul testing." "I believe you all know how important soul power is to alchemists." "So, next you just need to inject your soul power into this soul-testing stone, and then you can read the value of your soul power, which we call soul value." "The higher the soul value, the stronger your soul power is." "You will pass if your soul value reaches 400 or above." "The highest soul value record so far is 976 measured by Cao Ying that year, and no one has broken it yet." After hearing Elder Sheng's words, everyone else looked at Cao Ying in surprise.
But Cao Ying just held her cheek, nonchalantly playing with a jade bead in her hand, not paying attention to other people's eyes. "The rules are clear, so who goes first?" After Elder Sheng finished speaking, Qiu Ji of the Qiu family took the initiative to step forward and placed his palm on the soul-testing stone. Following a flash of light, a blood-red number immediately popped up on the soul-testing stone - 707. This value is already very good, and ordinary seventh-grade intermediate alchemists do not have this value. Elder Sheng nodded: "707, not bad, next one." Then, White Eagle stepped forward to test. The soul-testing stone shone again, and the number jumped - 785, which was much stronger than Qiu Ji's! This shows how strong White Eagle's talent is. "Not bad, you have talent." Elder Sheng also showed approval. Immediately afterwards, Cao Xiu stepped forward. He placed his palm on the soul-testing stone, and surging soul power surged out. The numbers began to soar, exceeding 800 in an instant, and finally stopped steadily at 846. This number is very good! "It's your turn." Cao Xiu stepped back and glanced at Danxuan and Xiao Li. "Then let me go first." Danxuan smiled slightly and walked out slowly. Seeing him, many people cast their fiery eyes, and even Cao Ying became more interested. Dan Xuan, the famous genius of the Dan family, is extremely talented and will definitely become the helmsman of the Dan family in the future! Under the gaze of everyone, Danxuan also completed the soul test—— 903! Seeing this number, the whole audience fell silent. Suddenly, countless pairs of eyes were cast on Danxuan. This talent is too strong... Although it is not as good as Cao Ying's record back then, it is also the second strongest in history. "Brother Xiao, it's your turn." Danxuan stepped back and smiled at Xiao Li. His attitude is quite gentle, like a modest gentleman, giving people a good impression. Xiao Li nodded, walked to the soul-testing stone, and placed his palm on it. "Xiao Li, if the Ye family wants to keep their place this year, they must get a top three result." “The third person now is Bai Ying, and his soul value has reached 785. Only if you exceed this value can you gain a glimmer of hope for the Ye family.” Elder Sheng said in a low voice. This is something that everyone is very clear about. Xiao Li's appearance also successfully made everyone focus their attention on him.
Ye Chong and Ye Xinlan also looked at him nervously. Whether the Ye family can keep their seat depends on Xiao Li! Xiao Li nodded, and his soul power began to surge out and rushed into the soul-testing stone. The next moment, an invisible soul storm began to form rapidly with Xiao Li as the center. This strange phenomenon immediately made Elder Sheng's face change. "This kid actually has such a strong soul power?" This kind of noise also occurred once when Cao Ying was testing it. Now Xiao Li has also caused such a commotion? ! Cao Ying, who was sitting nearby, also looked at him in surprise, with a gleam of light in her beautiful eyes. This man is...interesting. The soul storm lasted for a long time before it slowly stopped. Then, a blood-red number appeared on the soul-testing stone - 1999! The blood-red numbers were so shocking that everyone was petrified instantly. 1999! This number is more than one thousand higher than the record set by Cao Ying that year! Cao Xiu, Bai Ying and others were dumbfounded after seeing this number. What alchemy genius, he is nothing but trash in front of this number! The soul power of Xiao Li, whom they had always looked down upon, was more than twice as strong as theirs? ! Cao Ying's eyes also flashed with surprise, and a look of confusion appeared on her beautiful face. "Zhongzhou is indeed full of hidden talents. I didn't expect there would be such a person." She didn't really care about Xiao Li's soul value. Although it was much higher than her soul value back then, that was a record from three years ago. Now Cao Ying doesn’t think that she is inferior to Xiao Li. Elder Sheng was even more surprised. He knew very well what this soul value represented - this was no longer the soul power of a seventh-grade alchemist, but an eighth-grade alchemist! A soul value of over 1500 would reach the threshold of an eighth-grade alchemist! Xiao Li's soul value is now 1999, and it is even possible that he has reached the soul power of an eighth-grade intermediate alchemist? ! "Is that all?" Xiao Li was a little disappointed. He thought it could be higher. Elder Sheng couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahaha, not bad, not bad. The first place in this round of assessment is naturally the Ye family's representative Xiao Li." "And I believe this record will be hard to break in the future." Elder Sheng was extremely happy to see such a genius.
"Then next is the second round of assessment." …… (End of this chapter)
