Chapter 16 Long Aotian's Shock: This Liu Yuan is Amazing!
"Liu Yuan, are you ready?"
Standing at the entrance of the Elders' Hall, Vina looked at the boy beside her one last time to confirm.
"Don't worry, Vina." Liu Yuan smiled slightly, his expression calm. "I've been prepared for a long time."
"Okay, let's go in then."
Vina nodded and stepped through the heavy bronze door first.
Liu Yuan followed closely behind, while Long Aotian, Wang Yanfeng, and others also went in out of curiosity, or perhaps to accompany Vina.
The Elders' Hall has a very large interior space with a high dome and several eternal lamps around it. Although the light is not bright, it exudes a solemn and dignified atmosphere.
There were no statues of gods in the center of the main hall, only an old man with white hair and beard sitting on a grand chair at the far end.
The old man was resting with his eyes closed. He was dressed in a simple gray robe, but the subtle aura emanating from him made people dare not underestimate him in the slightest.
Elder Chen.
Vina walked up to the old man and bowed respectfully.
The old man slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on Vina. A kind smile immediately appeared on his previously stern face: "It's Vina, you're back? I heard you went to get your second spirit ring? Looks like you succeeded! Not bad!"
"Thank you for your concern, Elder Chen." Vina responded obediently, then turned and pointed to Liu Yuan behind her.
"Elder Chen, I brought back a friend this time. He has also awakened his Body Martial Soul and wants to join our Body Sect. I would like to ask you to help him with an entrance test."
"Oh? Another potential candidate for a Body Martial Soul?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Chen's gaze instantly passed over Vina and landed on Liu Yuan.
In that instant, Liu Yuan felt as if he were being stared at by a prehistoric behemoth, and all the muscles in his body involuntarily tensed up.
But he did not back down. Instead, he straightened his back and met Elder Chen's gaze with neither arrogance nor servility. He clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Junior Liu Yuan greets Elder Chen."
"Hmm, good character."
Elder Chen nodded slightly, withdrawing his scrutinizing aura, and stroked his beard. "Since it was brought back by Vina, let's follow the rules. Come over here."
He pointed to a stone table on one side of the main hall.
Liu Yuan did as instructed and stepped forward.
At this moment, Vina had already retreated back to Long Aotian and the others.
Looking at the tall and upright young man standing in front of Elder Chen, Long Aotian, who hadn't said much until now, finally couldn't help but ask, "Vina, what's Liu Yuan's background? How do you two know each other?"
"Yes, Vina." Wang Yanfeng also came over and asked in a low voice, "I was thinking of asking you this outside, what level is his soul power? How does it compare to ours?"
Even Gu Tong, who had been staring at Liu Yuan's back, perked up her ears at this moment.
When pressed by her companions, Vina gave a mysterious smile.
She first gave a brief account of how she met Liu Yuan.
However, she did not answer directly about Liu Yuan's specific level, but instead kept it a secret: "You will find out in a while, and I believe you will be very surprised."
Seeing Vina's confident and even slightly smug expression, Long Aotian and the others exchanged glances and immediately made a judgment.
"It seems… this newcomer named Liu Yuan is quite something." Long Aotian stroked his chin, his fighting spirit intensifying. "Otherwise, with Vina's discerning eye, she would never have had so much confidence in him."
"Then I'd like to see what he's really made of." Wang Yanfeng was also a little curious, his eyes fixed on the front.
At this moment, in front of the stone table.
Elder Chen didn't rush to start the test. Instead, he took out a thick booklet, picked up a pen, and asked, "Name?"
"Liu Yuan".
"age?"
"Twelve years old."
"Martial Soul?"
"Double pupils, which means eyes." Liu Yuan pointed to his own eyes.
"Double pupils..." Elder Chen paused slightly, looked up and carefully examined Liu Yuan's eyes, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. "Not bad, the eyes are a high-level body martial soul. Now that the basic information is registered, let's begin the test."
As he spoke, Elder Chen took out a transparent crystal ball from under the table and placed it on the table.
"Our Body Sect doesn't use those fancy soul tools. This crystal ball may be old, but it's the most direct and accurate." Elder Chen pointed to the crystal ball. "Place your hand on it and inject your soul power."
"yes."
Liu Yuan took a deep breath, stepped forward, and slowly extended his right hand, placing it on the cool crystal ball.
Within his body, the long-dormant soul power surged forth like a dragon awakened, flowing continuously into the crystal ball along the meridians in his arm.
Buzz—
In an instant, the originally dull crystal ball trembled violently, and then a dazzling white light suddenly shone!
The light was not dazzling, but extremely solid. It instantly filled the entire interior space of the crystal ball and continued to overflow outwards, as if it were about to burst the hard crystal!
Elder Chen, who had been casually recording data, suddenly dropped his pen onto the table with a "thud".
He suddenly stood up, staring intently at the glowing crystal ball, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
The brightness... the purity...
"Level 2... Level 23?!"
Elder Chen's voice became somewhat shrill with shock, echoing in the empty hall.
This is a promising talent!
After all, he's only twelve years old and already at level twenty-three!
You should know that even Vina, who is the same age as him, has received special training from the Body Sect since childhood, and she is only at about the same level now!
And Liu Yuan hasn't even received the focused training from their Body Sect yet...
"What?! Level 23?!"
Long Aotian and the others, who were not far away, were also dumbfounded.
Wang Yanfeng, who was just speculating about Liu Yuan's strength, now had his mouth agape, wide enough to fit an egg, and was completely dumbfounded.
"Did I hear that right? Level 23? That's amazing!" Chen Lu rubbed his ears vigorously, his face full of disbelief.
"Taller than... taller than Vina?" Gu Tong murmured to herself, her gaze towards that figure completely changing.
If they previously regarded Liu Yuan as a "newcomer" with some talent, their opinion of him has now completely changed.
He has a good chance of becoming a key figure in the sect's development program, just like Vina and Long Aotian!
After all, a soul power level of 23 at the age of twelve is already extremely high!
Long Aotian gradually recovered from his shock.
When he looked at Liu Yuan again, his gaze held a greater sense of importance.
He felt no jealousy whatsoever, nor was he annoyed by the other party's excellence. Instead, a smile of "a worthy opponent" appeared on his lips.
"It seems that I will have another opponent in the Body Sect in the future."
"Hmm... I just don't know if he has the potential for a second awakening of a Gold-level Martial Soul..."
