"Dong!"
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
As the Earth Attribute returned to the side of the Puppet Mannequin, a sound echoed throughout the Dueling Arena, a sound ancient and resonant, as if someone was hammering a heavy iron piece through the river of time.
"What is this sound?!"
Outside the arena, all the Soul Bodies also heard this sound, which could shatter souls, ancient and clear, as if it was right by their ears, painful and tormenting!
In an instant, all the Soul Bodies covered their ears, trying to block out the sound’s influence on them, but unfortunately, it was to no avail. Some Soul Bodies, unable to withstand such immense pain, let out wails of agony.
Out of tens of thousands of Soul Bodies, only the three at the forefront were not greatly affected.
"This is Spiritual Power!"
The Little Apprentice Sister, upon hearing the sound, immediately raised her right hand and lightly tapped the air in front of her. An invisible ripple emanated from her fingertip, gradually sweeping through the entire arena, forming an invisible barrier that protected all the Soul Bodies within.
The moment this Five Elements Barrier rose, the pain of all the Soul Bodies instantly disappeared, as if the pain had never occurred.

...
A moment later, the sound, seeming to come from ancient times, rang out again. However, this time, it was merely a sound with no occurrence of splitting headaches!
All the Soul Bodies shook their heads simultaneously, as if trying to shake off the pain that entered their ears.
"What was that sound just now? How could it make us feel such unbearable pain?"
"The sound seemed like ordinary hammering, so why did it have this effect?"
"After the Earth Attribute, next should be the Gold Attribute, right?"
"The hammering sound of steel can be understood with the Gold Attribute, but why does it make our heads ache?"
"If the sound keeps going, our souls might be completely shattered, and we’ll be forced out of this trial!"
...
Hearing the voices of the Soul Bodies, the Little Apprentice Sister furrowed her brows for the first time in this trial, her gaze turning towards the mirror reflecting Xu Ran.
"In this Five Elements Trial, is there really a trial involving Spiritual Power?!"
As a genius specializing in Spiritual Power, she immediately discovered that this sound, as if from ancient times, carried a strong Spiritual Power.
This Spiritual Power could easily shatter a person’s soul.
Now, in this Dueling Arena, all the participants were Soul Bodies, and besides her, no one specialized in Spiritual Power.
If they inadvertently lost amidst the sound, they would completely lose the qualification to observe this Nine-Layered Giant Tower trial.
At the same time, she felt a sense of confusion within her.
Why, as a Cultivator specializing in Spiritual Power, didn’t she encounter such a trial in the Nine-Layered Giant Tower involving Spiritual Power, but instead, faced trials unrelated to Spiritual Power?
As she pondered, she cast a glance at Second Senior Brother.
If she had undergone the Spiritual Power trial, she surely could become the Second Senior Sister!
Second Senior Brother, sensing the Little Apprentice Sister’s gaze, grinned and remarked.
"Little Apprentice Sister, you’re definitely thinking that if you had first undergone this trial involving Spiritual Power, you could have become Second Senior Brother, right?"
Having cultivated to their level, they could already assess situations to their advantage. What’s more, the Little Apprentice Sister was right beside him speaking ill of him, even if in her heart, and given his understanding of her, it was easy for him to know what she was thinking.
"Hmph!"
Seeing her thoughts being exposed, the Little Apprentice Sister turned her head away, looking towards Senior Brother.
Out of sight, out of mind!
"You don’t need to look at Senior Brother either. When he underwent the Five Elements Trial, although it was Gold Attribute, there wasn’t such a hammering sound!" Second Senior Brother’s inappropriate timing voice resurfaced.
When Senior Brother faced the trial, he was alone in the Dueling Arena. Although the specifics aren’t clear, the broad strokes are known.
Moreover, back then, his cultivation wasn’t as strong as now. If there truly had been such overwhelming Spiritual Power indiscriminately spreading, his Spiritual Power would have suffered severe damage. frёeωebɳovel.com
"That’s right!" Senior Brother’s cold response further confirmed Second Senior Brother’s words.
Instantly, images from that trial resurfaced in his thoughts.
"Back then, facing the Five Elements Puppet, each Puppet possessed its unique attribute power, endless, only by completely shattering its form would the Five Elements backdrop cease to supply energy!"
"Each time, the energy transported by the invisible backdrop was limited, as much as the Puppet itself could retain, so much was transported!"
"Thus, the trial back then was merely about the consumption of Spiritual Qi and energy, unlike now, where countless ancient Divine Artifacts, auras, and materials emerge!"
While his tone was as usual, listening closely, a hint of regret could be discerned in Senior Brother’s words.
Initially, during the Near Ancient times, amidst a world devoid of all paths, he wielded Extreme Ice Power, mending fractures and becoming the Senior Brother of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower.
Back then, he was full of spirit, unrivaled by any other’s talent!
Invincible for countless years, now suddenly appeared someone with talent several times greater, and merely less than two years old.
