Chapter 1620: Soul Value Off the Charts

As Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength surged, the red liquid in the tablet began to fluctuate. However, even after several seconds, it didn’t climb at all.

“Hahaha, he probably can’t even reach a hundred thousand, and he acted so big. How laughable.”

“Didn’t he compare himself to Di Xin? I’ve never seen someone with such a thick skin. If I were him, I’d kill myself right now.”

Seeing that the red liquid didn’t move, the sharp-tongued people immediately began to add on insults.

Long Chen didn’t say anything, but the disciple testing him coldly said, “The spirit testing tablet is different from the spirit testing stones. It doesn’t finish the test instantly, which is why we don’t use it normally. He needs to use his Spiritual Strength to make the soul blood liquid inside reach a boiling point before it can start rising. That usually requires half an incense stick’s worth of time, so if you don’t understand, don’t randomly speak. You only reveal how ignorant you are.”

Those mocking people’s expressions immediately became ugly. The surrounding people were all looking at them disdainfully.

“Hmph, so what? I don’t believe such a person has a soul value of a million. He’s clearly just wasting time,” quibbled a man.

“It’s moving!”

Just at this moment, the red liquid representing his soul value began to rise.

The disciple standing beside it was shocked. In just five breath’s time, Long Chen had made the soul blood liquid inside reach its boiling point. That was absolutely shocking. Even Di Xin had used over ten breath’s time to reach this point.

This not only represented that his soul value was double Di Xin’s, but it also represented his terrifyingly powerful Spiritual Strength.

Just at this moment, within the main palace, the palace master became shocked. “Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength, is it even greater than yours, Meng Qi?”

Meng Qi was a pure soul cultivator. In truth, her Spiritual Strength had mutated strangely and could no longer be cla.s.sified according to normal standards.

As for Chu Yao, she was the disciple that the palace master was fondest of, to such a point that the latter had been willing to sacrifice her longevity and beautiful appearance to make up for the fact that Chu Yao had missed her golden cultivation time.

As a wood cultivator, Chu Yao had both plentiful spiritual yuan and Spiritual Strength that wouldn’t lose out to her master’s. When Meng Qi had arrived, the palace master had been shocked to find that Meng Qi’s Spiritual Strength was even greater than Chu Yao’s. That had already filled her with disbelief.

As for Di Xin, his Spiritual Strength hadn’t surpa.s.sed Meng Qi’s. He had only reached the same level as Chu Yao.

In truth, Meng Qi’s Spiritual Strength was the result of Long Chen cutting off a portion of his own Spiritual Strength, creating a spiritual seed for her. That was what had resulted in the mutation.

Chu Yao’s soul value had been measured at 1,370,000 points, while Di Xin had reached 1,350,000 points. It could be said that he was equal with Chu Yao in this regard. However, Di Xin had been holding back at that time, but in the same vein, Chu Yao had only measured her soul value a few months ago, and it had now increased by quite a bit. It was just that she hadn’t tested it again. In any case, their Spiritual Strength should be on the same level.

However, Meng Qi’s soul value had reached 1,490,000 points. She was at the top of all of them.

On the other hand, Tang Wan-er was left out. Her soul value was only 57,000 points. In the outside world, this was incredible, but compared to these monsters, she was clearly much inferior.

When they had tested themselves, even Meng Qi hadn’t expected Tang Wan-er’s soul value to be so low. However, she was a very brute-force kind of fighter, so it was understandable.

Nevertheless, Tang Wan-er couldn’t help feeling disappointed. Her emotions were always written all over her face. She felt inferior.

Hence, they had called Long Chen over mainly for Tang Wan-er. They had to fight for one of the many opportunities in the Jade Lake Pageant that would increase Tang Wan-er’s Spiritual Strength. This was also why Tang Wan-er was so anxious when Long Chen arrived so late. She wanted to get back at him for it.

Hearing the palace master’s shocked cry, Meng Qi merely smiled. She looked at the scene on the wall. The red liquid was still rising.

“200,000.”

“300,000.”

“400,000.”

As Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength circulated, it continued to rise. The surrounding experts all stared in stunned silence.

It had to be known that a normal cultivator at their level had a soul value under three thousand. After all, Spiritual Strength wasn’t the only kind of energy used by a cultivator.

In truth, when fighting, cultivators had to merge the essence, qi, and soul together. Those three things represented their physical strength, spiritual yuan, and Spiritual Strength respectively. Those three types of energy had to merge together to unleash magical arts.

Different magical arts required different proportions of energy. For the majority of Battle Skills, unleashed with weapons or fists, the proportion was normally 4:5:1. In other words, forty percent came from the physical body, fifty percent came from spiritual yuan, and ten percent came from Spiritual Strength.

There was also another aspect known as the body, mouth, and will. When unleas.h.i.+ng one’s greatest power, the body moved, the mouth made an incantation or shouted, and the will guided everything. The three worked simultaneously.

When experts fought, they would often shout loudly what move they were using. In truth, that wasn’t used to show off or frighten their opponents, but the result of this body, mouth, and will aspect.
