Free Web NovelChapter 1054: Chapter 641: Two Paths, Soul Power Test (2)
The strongest person in Gu Feng Town is merely at the leader-level peak, which is more than sufficient for Yao Qi to protect Lu Lin, giving him ample time to engage with and understand this world.
As for what the future holds, Lu Lin can’t plan that far ahead for now. He’ll just take it step by step. ƒreewebɳovel.com
"Teacher Yao, I think the second choice is good."
"Of course, it’s a wise choice."
Yao Qi snapped his fingers and smiled, "Since that’s the case, as my student, I need to have a comprehensive understanding of your abilities." frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
"The strength of your flesh surpasses a hundred Dragons, which is an exceptionally good talent. But I’m curious about your talent in Soul Power and Star Power."
"Follow me."
Saying so, Yao Qi turned and walked out of the Power Testing Room, and Lu Lin could only follow from behind.
Qi Wudi was dutifully at the door, seeing the two come out, "Teacher Yao, Lu Lin, how did your chat go."
"Not bad, but I need to have a comprehensive understanding of Lu Lin’s abilities. Qi Wudi, stay here, after I’m done, I’ll ask Lu Lin to come to you."
"Alright."
Qi Wudi agreed and watched Yao Qi lead Lu Lin towards his room.
On the outside, the room looked no different from others nearby, but as Lu Lin followed in, he felt a bit embarrassed.
The inside was arranged like a woman’s boudoir, with light green chiffon, a fragrant aroma, and scattered small garments on the wrinkled bed — unknown whom they were meant for.
"The room is a bit messy, don’t mind it, Lu Lin."
Yao Qi said casually, then waved his hand, and those small garments on the bed disappeared.
Her expression didn’t change, although her eyelashes kept fluttering, her gaze wasn’t fixed on Lu Lin.
"Ahem, this is the Talent Testing Stone. You just need to mobilize a trace of Star Power and attach it to the stone."
Lu Lin extended his right hand and placed it on the testing stone.
A faint glimmer flashed through, and some words appeared on the stone.
Talent: Extremely Poor.
Seeing such an evaluation, Lu Lin felt a bit awkward, but Yao Qi widened her eyes in surprise.
How is this possible?
Although she couldn’t sense Lu Lin’s specific cultivation, it shouldn’t be too poor, at least approximating the Gang Member Level, so why did his talent test as extremely poor?
"Lu Lin, what’s your current cultivation level?"
"Oh, Star Emperor Level, I should be at the mid-stage."
"Star Emperor Level? Such arrogance, let’s see, let me check."
Yao Qi hadn’t heard of this term before, so she took out an encyclopedia from the storage space and, with her ability, quickly found the relevant information after skimming through.
"Star Emperor Level is decent. Above you, is there a Star Emperor Realm?"
"Yes."
"Hmm, that’s odd."
Yao Qi was perplexed. Logically, someone with Lu Lin’s extremely poor talent shouldn’t be able to cultivate to the Star Emperor Level; reaching the Star Dust Level would already be impressive. Yet, here he was, displaying the ability of the Star Emperor Level in front of her, which was hard to explain.
Lu Lin must have secrets.
"Alright then, a poorer Star Power talent isn’t a substantial issue. But how about your Soul Power talent, do you know?"
"I don’t know, it probably isn’t too high either."
"Oh?"
Yao Qi mused, in the Cang He World’s talent testing system, only the Star Power cultivation talent of Martial Artists could be examined since they were not primarily focused on Star Power. In contrast, in the Main World, the focus is on testing a martial artist’s accompanying treasure’s talent limits.
Red, orange, yellow — three colors represent three different talent levels, with yellow being the lowest and red the highest. Each level is further divided into deep, moderate, and shallow, totaling nine subdivisions.
Lu Lin was merely the worst shallow yellow, though this evaluation only applied to those born in the Main World.
Testing flesh and Soul Power wasn’t mainstream in the various Main Worlds; they preferred directly testing strength.
For instance, the Power Testing Rooms sold by a certain supreme existence, and another top-tier organization’s Soul Power grading proposal.
Ordinary people possess ordinary Soul Power; once it’s abundant, there’s potential for promotion levels to be triggered.
This defines a Soul Power Martial Artist.
Generally, Soul Power aids cultivators in fighting and grants some supportive methods, impacting cultivation and talent — opinions and theories vary on this. Some say the stronger the Soul Power, the higher potential enlightenment and talent; others scoff at this notion.
Nevertheless, cultivators with powerful Soul Power can effortlessly defeat other cultivators of the same level.
Just based on this, exaggerating Soul Power’s effect isn’t unwarranted.
However, among the various Main Worlds, according to Yao Qi’s understanding, there’s no instrument that’s capable of testing Soul Power talent.
After all, Soul Power talent is like pregnancy; you can’t discern it in short periods, but over time, as a cultivator’s Soul Power strengthens, the advantage naturally manifests.
"Lu Lin, use Soul Power to attack me; any attack will do. I need to assess your Soul Power level."
"Teacher Yao, will this harm you?"
"Hurt?!"
Yao Qi was momentarily stunned by Lu Lin’s confidence, that he dared to claim a Soul Power attack might harm her. It was a rare joke in recent years.
"Alright, attack as you wish. Even if I get hurt, it’s not your fault."
Despite Yao Qi’s statement, Lu Lin didn’t relax; his current Soul Power had reached the Five Changes level.
If his assault really caused harm to Yao Qi when she let down her guard, she wouldn’t easily forget it.
Still, he could slightly conceal his true capability in terms of Soul Power.
In this unfamiliar world, although Yao Qi seemed kind, who knows if she might harbor ill intentions towards Lu Lin?
Lu Lin never tests the human heart, as he grasps that it’s fragile.
Instead of leaving fate in others’ hands, it’s better under his control.
In this aspect, he shares a sentiment similar to the Evil Dragon.
Yet there’s no choice; most of the strongest individuals in ordinary worlds claw their way up from the bottom, while those who haven’t endured hardships, even with strong talents and backgrounds, ultimately achieve less than people like Lu Lin or the Evil Dragon.
"Alright, Teacher Yao, be careful."
Lu Lin first prepared Soul Power at the Third Layer level using Lingtian Secret Skill for the attack.
Chaos.
It’s an Auxiliary Type Soul Power skill capable of disturbing the opponent’s Spirit and Soul, blocking thoughts and performing excellent in battle.
Yao Qi instantly felt her Soul Power become chaotic for a moment.
She quickly calmed her Soul Power foundation, preventing more Soul Power from being affected by this skill.
In an instant, she stabilized the fluctuations in her Soul Sea, but Yao Qi was deeply surprised by the prowess of this Soul Power Secret Skill at such a level.
Lu Lin’s Soul Power attack was approximately at the Third Floor level — how could just a skill cause such a disturbance in her, a Sixth Floor master?
"Teacher Yao, is such an attack acceptable?"
"Yes, continue."
Yao Qi was focused; she wouldn’t want to lose face in front of Lu Lin.
"Okay."
Seeing no reaction from Yao Qi confirmed, Lu Lin was less concerned, as such a Soul Power level attack would be disregarded by him.
Lu Lin increased his Soul Power and chose another Lingtian Secret Skill — Stealth.
Shaking.
This time, he boosted his Soul Power to the early Fourth Floor level.
Fortunately, Yao Qi was already prepared; the effects of Shaking weren’t glaring.
Yet this still amazed her.
Soul Power at the Fourth Floor level exceeds Qi Wudi substantially.
Soul Power levels one to three are considered low tiers; despite Fourth Floor being merely one level higher than third, its quality surpasses it.
