Soul Martial Artists. Although rare, considering the vast Northern Region, with its millions of square kilometres and billions of people, there were actually quite a few who awakened as a Soul Martial Artist each year.
In terms of power, there was not much difference between Soul Martial Artists and Attribute Martial Artists. It mainly depended on one’s understanding of Attributes and comprehension of the Martial Soul.
For example, the old man fishing in front of them had even synchronised his body’s frequency with the surrounding mist and rain. This showed how terrifyingly deep his understanding of the Rain and Mist Attribute was.
Attribute Martial Artists had their own strengths. Based on their understanding of their Attribute, in certain cultivation realms, they could harness the power of Heaven and Earth for their own use.
As for Soul Martial Artists, their strength depended on what kind of Martial Soul they awakened, and its uses varied.
The more perfectly they merged with their Martial Soul, naturally the greater power they could exert.
Ancient legends said that Humans were descendants of Dragons.
Dragons could summon wind and rain, manipulate the true energy of Heaven and Earth, and even move mountains and seas. Dragons possessed unparalleled power. Therefore, those closest to ‘Dragons’ were the Heavenly Martial Artists!
Heavenly Martial Artists could control Attributes and also possessed powerful Martial Souls. Combining both made them exceptionally strong, causing even others to be extremely wary of them.
The old man fishing had made a very correct decision in calling them here. After all, the Northern Region was so vast that finding one person was like looking for a needle in a haystack, almost impossible.
However, these nine people before him were the most influential in the Northern Region.
Moreover, the old man fishing believed that the person who triggered such a phenomenon, though perhaps still unknown now, would one day shine brightly across the entire Northern Region.
What the old man fishing wanted to do was to find that person before that other old man he played chess with!
If he could take such a talented person as his disciple…
Just thinking about it made the old man fishing excited!
“Whoever among you finds that person first, I promise your Family will prosper for a thousand years!”
The old man fishing’s last sentence immediately made their breathing quicken.
In the vast Northern Region, powerful Forces were not limited to their Eight Millennial Families. There were many Forces that could rival them.
On the surface, the Eight Millennial Families seemed limitlessly glorious, but only they themselves knew how much they had to sacrifice and how much effort they had to put in to maintain this glory.
Because they stood at the peak of the Northern Region, they had to constantly guard against being pulled down by those below.
For a Family to prosper for a thousand years was an extremely difficult thing to accomplish. This showed how tempting the old man fishing’s promise was.
If other Forces found that Soul Martial Artist first, it was possible that Force might even replace one of the Millennial Families. Therefore, the Patriarchs of the Eight Millennial Families did not dare to be negligent. After respectfully bowing, they hurriedly left one by one.
Probably the only one among the nine who did not take this matter to heart was the Guildmaster of the Alchemy Tower.
Even standing beside the old man fishing, his mind was still on Alchemy.
Likely, after leaving here, he would completely forget about this matter.
…
However, even though Qin Yichen travelled at full speed without any delays on the way, it still took him nearly half a month to reach the Central Province from the Heavenly Unicorn City.
By this time, the Alchemy Tower Test was nearing its end, about to conclude.
After entering the Central Province City, Qin Yichen had no time to marvel at its enormous magnificence and hurriedly rushed towards the centre of the city.
Every year, the Alchemy Tower Test would be held in the square at the centre of the Central Province City. Only those who passed the test would be qualified to enter the Alchemy Tower.
At this time, in the central area of the Central Province City, there was already a sea of people. Qin Yichen, with his Walk Movement Technique, finally squeezed through the crowds and arrived at the front.
At this moment, a huge square appeared before Qin Yichen’s eyes.
On that square, there were only a few people left, with countless onlookers gazing at them with passionate eyes. Obviously, these few had emerged from over a thousand Alchemy Masters and successfully passed the Alchemy Tower Test.
Qin Yichen calmed himself and realised that among those few people, there was a familiar beautiful figure, which was Bian Lingzhu, whom he had cooperated with in the Death Zone.
Her Spiritual Energy had broken through to the Spirit Realm, so naturally, she did not have much trouble passing the test.
However, what surprised Qin Yichen was that in front of Bian Lingzhu, there was a young man. Obviously, these two were the most outstanding in this test.
Bian Lingzhu’s figure was slightly behind, which meant that in this test, that young man’s results were even better than Bian Lingzhu’s.
“As expected of the Alchemy Tower.” Qin Yichen murmured to himself.
*Dong!* Just as Qin Yichen was trying to step forward to explain and ask to participate in the test, a distant bell sound rang out.
As this bell sound rang out, a middle-aged man wearing an Alchemy Tower robe walked slowly to the centre of the square under countless reverent gazes.
This middle-aged man swept his gaze over the eight people who had passed through layers of tests and selection, and finally, his gaze rested on Bian Lingzhu and the young man in front of her. They were two Alchemy Masters whose Spiritual Energy cultivation had broken through to the Spirit Realm. Thus, this time’s results made him extremely happy.
Then, his gaze swept across the entire venue, and he loudly said. “Now, I announce that this year’s Alchemy Tower Test officially ends…”
“Wait a moment!” Before this middle-aged man’s words could finish, a sudden voice rang out.
Qin Yichen’s figure directly leaped into the square.
“What’s going on? What’s that kid trying to do?”
“I don’t know, could he dare to cause trouble in front of the Alchemy Tower?”
“Interesting, it’s been many years since anyone dared to cause trouble at such a time…”
Seeing a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth dare to interrupt the Alchemy Tower Test, a wave of clamour rose from the crowd. Countless gazes turned towards that middle-aged man from the Alchemy Tower, seemingly waiting for his response.
When she saw Qin Yichen, a strange light flashed in Bian Lingzhu’s eyes. She remembered this youth saying he would also participate in the Alchemy Tower Test. Thus, she did not understand why Qin Yichen only appeared at this time.
Having his words interrupted, this middle-aged man also frowned, his gaze turning to Qin Yichen. A questioning voice tinged with anger also rang out: “Who are you? How dare you come here to cause trouble?”
“This Junior is Qin Yichen from the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty. I am also here to participate in the Alchemy Tower Test. However, due to some matters, I was delayed. I hope the examiner can give me a chance.” Qin Yichen cupped his hands towards this middle-aged man and said.
