Chapter 1963: Chapter 1963: Soul Calamity Impact
The Soul Master is, by nature, a special profession.
It demands extremely high talent from the Martial Artist.
And the Soul Hall encompasses Soul Masters from across the world; one can well imagine how many extraordinarily talented individuals have emerged in the entire history of the Soul Hall.
And the time limit given by the Soul Hall Master directly places Xiao Yi within the top ten.
One can imagine how high the praise is.
"To wield the God Slaying Sword, it’s not something an ordinary Martial Artist can achieve."
"And he does." The Soul Hall Master emphasizes slightly.
"The sword in his hand seems to move at his command, wielded to perfection."
At this point, the Soul Hall Master squints his eyes.
"Even among this generation’s young Heavenly Talents, known as the most monstrous generation, those who might wield the God Slaying Sword are certainly no more than a dozen."
"If one wants to achieve his level while wielding the sword, among the younger generation, having that Martial Soul capacity and control power..."
The Soul Hall Master pauses, seemingly pondering.
"Can’t think of any?" the Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master inquires.
The Soul Hall Master nods, "Mo Youu might be one."
"With the Sword Emperor Origin and the strongest sword-type Martial Soul, he has a natural suppressive and control power over any sword-type Divine Weapon."
"Unfortunately, he’s already one of the candidates for the surname Luo." The Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master lightly chuckles.
The Soul Hall Master nods but maintains a calm expression, "I don’t care much about him."
"The God Slaying Sword was the sword of the first Crown. Even if the Sword Emperor were reborn, he might not be able to control it completely."
"Let alone just a fragment of the Sword Emperor Origin."
"The greatest requirement for wielding the God Slaying Sword, aside from strength, is the Martial Soul."
"If that kid..." The Soul Hall Master starts smiling gradually.
"That kid? Someone you have already favored?" the Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master asks.
"Indeed." The Soul Hall Master smiles and nods.
"If the God Slaying Sword is in his hands, it will surely unleash even greater power."
The Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master hears this and pouts, "How does Xiao Xun compare to him?"
The Soul Hall Master blurts out again, "Two levels apart."
"Two levels? Nonsense." The Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master sneers.
"Are you suggesting that my successor at the Heavenly Mechanism Hall is inferior to your successor at the Soul Hall?"
The Soul Hall Master is unbothered, saying, "Two levels, just my initial comparison."
"I had a high opinion of Xiao Xun from the moment I knew he had Twin Martial Souls."
"A one-in-ten-thousand Twin Martial Souls is enough for him to wield the God Slaying Sword."
"One black and one purple, both at the peak, enough for him to stand out among almost all of the younger generation; boasting his recent ease while wielding the God Slaying Sword as if it were an extension of his arm."
"But compared to that kid, it’s still two levels, or more apart."
"Hmph..." The Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master snorts, just about to retort.
The Soul Hall Master, however, looks at the Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master first, apologizes earnestly, "Heavenly Mechanism, I apologize."
"Apologize for what?" The Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master is momentarily stunned.
The Soul Hall Master smiles lightly, "You and I have been together for many years; such a long duration that even we might not remember it clearly."
"Moreover, you practice formations, and I practice as a Soul Master, both are special professions."
"Therefore, our friendship sometimes surpasses that with the surname Luo."
"In theory, since you had a hard time finding a successor, I shouldn’t treat him like this."
"But, the God Slaying Sword, after all, belongs to my Soul Hall, and it is of great significance, so I have no choice."
"I understand." The Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master smiles.
"Therefore, when you promised to leave Xiao Xun’s life at all costs, I believed you."
"The God Slaying Sword is indeed of great significance."
"If it falls into the hands of someone with ill intentions, relying solely on this sword could destroy the foundation of your entire Soul Hall of millions of years."
"If I were in your position, I would have difficulty bearing this crisis too."
"The guarantee you gave me is already the greatest concession."
"Exactly." The Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master smiles, "If not for this, do you think I would still speak to you kindly?"
"It was not easy for me to find a successor; do you know how monstrous this kid is? In just one month, he..."
The Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master’s speech halts suddenly, speaking no more.
"What happened?" The Soul Hall Master asks.
"Oh, nothing." The Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master chuckles, waving his hand, refusing to continue the conversation.
The Soul Hall Master frowns.
He knows that this old partner of his has always been shrewd.
This intentional silence surely harbors another plan.
At this moment, before he can think more, within the Secret Realm, Xiao Yi’s actions suddenly change.
"Hmm?" The face of the Soul Hall Master shows surprise, "That kid has responded."
"In less than a few minutes, how is that possible."
The Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master frowns, asking, "How long did it take that guy back then?"
"Ten minutes." The Soul Hall Master responds with surprise, his thoughts not focused on answering but with eyes fixed on the black-robed figure in the Secret Realm.
"How is it possible he’s already absorbing the Power of Soul Calamity."
...
In the Secret Realm.
Xiao Yi’s actions, which seemed like aimless hand-waving, have now ceased.
Instead, his figure flickers.
Yes, he has given up forcefully striking down these phantasms and has opted to dodge their attacks.
Indeed.
As he flickers to evade, the phantasm passing before his eyes no longer gives a sense of disappearing into thin air.
This time, he has finally confirmed that these mysterious figures, as elusive as air, do not vanish into thin air; they are merely incredibly fast.
And this speed happens to be just slightly faster than his.
Yes, just slightly, without any missing detail.
He, Xiao Yi, is certainly not ordinary.
In other aspects, he might not dare to say.
But in terms of combat experience, few from the younger generation could rival him.
Early on, when he detected something amiss about this Secret Realm, he was observing and pondering.
Indeed, he found the clues.
These phantasms are essentially illusions; their speed is precisely a notch faster than his full speed outburst.
No matter how he attacked, it was impossible to strike down these phantasms.
Instead, while evading, without intending to counter these phantasms, but merely aiming to avoid their assaults, he clearly sees them.
This pace, being just a tad faster, is enough to capture when evading at full strength.
"Hah."
At this moment, as Xiao Yi steps back, a phantasm flickers before his eyes.
Xiao Yi utters in a low voice, soul power bursting from his eyes.
His eyes are already able to keep up with the tracks of these phantasms, using the formless soul power to catch them at the same pace.
The soul power binds outward, and the phantasm before him is instantly trapped in place.
Before Xiao Yi can react, the phantasm disappears again into thin air; however, it doesn’t truly vanish but inexplicably enters the Small World within.
The mysterious phantasm rushes heavily towards the Fire Control Beast Martial Soul within him.
The Fire Control Beast Martial Soul remains still in a daze.
With a light sound, as if the air was hit.
The mysterious phantasm crashes into the Fire Control Beast Martial Soul and then dissipates.
Xiao Yi noticeably feels that the Fire Control Beast seems to have grown somewhat stronger.
...
Second update.
