Chapter 414: Is there a kind of soul that is “slow to warm up”?
Chapter 414: Is there a kind of soul that is “slow to warm up”?
"That's why I told you to learn more and watch more. You are still too immature to compare your skills with mine!"
Just as Yang Raosheng was showing off his superiority in front of Shi Xiaomei, the real-time image projected by the [Image Crystal] began to change.
The young man, who had no idea what was going on, calmly placed his hand on the thing that was nominally a [Soul-Detecting Monument] but was actually a [Soul-Suppressing Monument].
Yang Raosheng, who had seen the whole scene, stroked his beard proudly and said, "Hehe, the [Soul Suppressing Monument] can suppress the tester's 'Soul Realm' to only one-third of its actual strength."
"Under such circumstances, it is impossible for him to pass the test!"
On the other side of the [Photo Crystal], everything seemed to be developing in the direction Yang Raosheng had expected.
After Ding Chen placed his hand on the [Soul-Suppressing Monument], the monument did not emit the azure light that symbolized the "middle quality of the Earth Realm".
Instead, it only shows the light green color of "lower grade earth realm".
Ding Chen raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and thought to himself: "Although I deliberately lowered my soul realm the moment I touched the [Soul Testing Monument], I didn't suppress it so harshly!"
It turned out that Ding Chen was worried that his spiritual realm, which was comparable to the "Upper Heavenly Realm", would cause an uproar after being detected by the [Soul Testing Monument].
It was not Ding Chen's wish to do such an eye-catching move before the "Tianci Wanbao Auction" started.
In order to avoid being seen by others, the young man deliberately concealed his true spiritual state.
But I never thought that the other party would tamper with the [Soul Testing Monument]...
Ding Chen took another closer look at the doorman in front of him, and clearly saw a hint of mockery in the man's eyes, as if he had succeeded in his evil plan.
"Haha, there really is something fishy going on."
"However, if you want to reject me with such a petty trick, you are underestimating me too much!"
The doorman in front of him had no idea what Ding Chen was thinking.
Seeing the other party was stunned, he thought that the other party was shocked by this incredible result.
So he secretly laughed in his heart: "Hehe, this kid is strong, but he is still too young after all!"
"I guess what he is facing right now is a 'secret operation' that he has never experienced in his life, right? So he was stunned all of a sudden!"
After thinking about it, the doorman who was in charge of reviewing the "master maintenance qualification" shouted at Ding Chen impatiently: "Did you see that? Your soul realm is not up to standard, you cannot enter the Alchemy Hall, leave immediately!"
Ding Chen, who had already seen through the trick, smiled calmly and said, "Haha, don't jump to conclusions."
"You know, my 'spirit' is a slow-heating type. I have to get familiar with people first before I can burst out with all my enthusiasm."
"How about we wait and see?"
The doorman was stunned when he heard this: "God damn, is your soul the 'slow-heating type'? There is such a thing as slow-heating or not? Do you think this cultivator is stupid?!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and chased the person away in great displeasure: "Go away, go away quickly, don't waste my time!"
Yang Raosheng, who had been observing Ding Chen's every move through the [Image Crystal], sneered when he heard the extremely absurd excuse given by the young man: "Hahahahaha..."
"What do you mean by 'slow-heating spirit'? It's amazing that this guy could think of and say such a thing!"
Qi Dekai, who was standing by, frowned and muttered to himself, "From the boy's previous actions, he doesn't look like a fool, nor a fool. How could he say such ridiculous words?"
"Could it be that I have made a mistake?"
A hint of contempt quietly welled up in Shi Xiaomei's eyes: "Humph, it's not that you've made a mistake, it's just that this guy is a man of this level!"
"Have you been pretending to be profound and noble in front of me?"
“It’s so sad and ridiculous!”
Unexpectedly, at this moment——
"Om~"
The [Soul-Suppressing Monument], which was originally glowing with a light green light, suddenly changed its color and burst into a dazzling golden light!
"Hiss, this, this is the golden stele light representing the 'Upper Earth Realm' soul realm?!"
The doorman who was at the scene, facing Ding Chen, was the first to be stunned.
He squeezed his eyes hard, and then looked at the [Soul-Suppressing Monument] in front of him again.
I still find that it is blooming with a dazzling golden light that is as real as ever...
"No, no, right?"
The doorman swallowed his saliva in bewilderment: "Am I ignorant? Are there really slow-to-warm-up spirits in this world?!"
At the same time, Yang Raosheng, who had been staring at the [Crystal Retaining Image], had just picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip of the fragrant tea, but he was so startled by the sudden change that his hands and wrists trembled, and the cup tilted;
The scalding hot tea in there splashed all over his crotch!
The old guy cried out in pain, "Ouch!" and didn't even care about his little penis that was bent by the burn. He stood up in a flash and said in astonishment, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"How can there be a so-called 'slow-to-warm-up' spirit in this world?"
"It's obvious that Ding Chen was hiding his weakness at first, and then exploded. This is why the [Soul Suppressing Monument] bloomed with two different colors of light."
Qi Dekai's eyes widened: "Wait, doesn't that mean that Ding Chen's soul realm, which was severely suppressed by the [Soul Suppressing Monument], has probably already broken through the 'Peak of the Earth Realm' and entered the 'Heaven Realm'?!"
After hearing these words, Shi Xiaomei took a breath of cold air.
He has the profound energy cultivation of the Earth Crystal Realm, but possesses the spiritual realm of the "Heaven Realm"...
Then he must at least be a grandmaster of alchemy, right?
Even at such a young age, he has already reached the peak of the Earth Crystal Realm in Xuan cultivation, and is also a great master of alchemy.
This kind of extremely talented and blessed child will surely achieve limitless success in the future!
The woman suddenly felt that Ding Chen's previous profoundness and aloofness were not just pretense, but the demeanor he should have!
If Shi Xiaomei and others knew about this——
If Ding Chen's spiritual realm at this moment is still less than 30% of his true spiritual strength...
How shocked will these people be? !
"Can I go in now?"
Ding Chen asked with a faint smile.
The doorman swallowed and shook his head: "Not yet, there are still a hundred questions to go..."
"Bring me pen and ink!"
Ding Chen didn't waste any time. He asked the other party to hold up the test paper and started writing on the spot.
In just a short while, all 100 questions were answered.
After the young man threw his pen into the holder in a casual manner, the doorman suddenly came to his senses, turned over the test paper, and checked it carefully against the answer sheet.
"Elder Yang sent someone to give me these 100 difficult questions, and he answered every one of them incorrectly?!"
"And you answered in such a short time..."
Now, no one can stop Ding Chen from entering the Dan Hall!
At this time, in the capital verification room.
Qi Dekai, who had just seen Ding Chen striding into the Dan Hall, quickly picked up the [Photo Crystal] on the table and rushed out of the house without looking back!
"This boy is not simple!"
"In addition to his profound Qi cultivation of the 'Ninth Level of the Earth Crystal Realm', what is even more valuable is his identity as the 'Grand Master of Alchemy'!"
"This boy is so young, but he is already a 'Grand Master of Alchemy'."
"The possibility of him becoming a 'Heavenly Master of Alchemy' during his lifetime is undoubtedly much higher than that of an ordinary Grand Master of Alchemy."
"If I report this news to the city lord and recruit this person to serve my [Heavenly City], I will definitely be credited with a great achievement!"
With this thought in mind, Qi Dekai became full of energy.
At this time, inside the house.
Yang Raosheng, who was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses, stood up and chased after him like a flying bird: "Old bastard, give me back my [Photo Crystal]!"
He will not sit idly by and watch this credit slip away.
Qi Dekai smiled frivolously: "Hey, who said this is your [Photo Crystal]? Is your name engraved on it?"
"you!!"
Yang Raosheng was furious and did not hesitate to use his Xuan Yi to chase after him at a high speed.
Qi Dekai was equally unwilling to be outdone. He shook his shoulders, and a pair of earth-yellow wings appeared. He flapped his wings and flew far away...
In the room, Shi Xiaomei, who was sitting dejectedly, couldn't help but smile bitterly.
She regretted that she had completely cut off the possibility of the two of them developing into a relationship because of her momentary greed.
In Shi Xiaomei's opinion, even if she couldn't be Ding Chen's real "Daoist companion", she could only be his "underground lover";
With that young man's extraordinary talent, I will surely be able to gain immeasurable benefits from him in time, right?
pity……
