Chapter 18: Level 14 Soul Power.
After entering the Spirit Hall, the two headed to the reception hall.
Seeing Flanders, who seemed so familiar with the place, Xuan Mo suspected this unscrupulous businessman had been there before.
It made sense, after all, the vast majority of Shrek Academy students were talented. They were considered geniuses. So, to avoid getting his students into trouble, Flanders must have brought students to register before.
But this time, Xuan Mo didn't know that he had been wrong. Flanders' familiarity with the Spirit Hall actually had another reason...
As the two walked toward the reception hall,
Xuan Mo observed his surroundings and noticed that everyone coming and going had very obvious soul power fluctuations.
Comparing their soul power fluctuations with Su Yuntao's, Xuan Mo discovered that their soul power seemed to be on par with Su Yuntao's.
This discovery reminded Xuan Mo of the Notting City Spirit Hall in his previous life's novels. A comparison revealed a stark contrast between the Notting City Spirit Hall and the Soto City Spirit Hall. He sighed, "No wonder the Spirit Hall defeated the Tiandou and Xingluo empires so relentlessly in the early days of the Chengcheng Empire's war. It's true, as the books say, the disparity in the number of lower-level spirit masters is enormous."
But what puzzled Xuan Mo even more was why, with so many spirit masters in the Spirit Hall, it was only Su Yuntao from Notting City who finally awakened his spirit. Just as Xuan Mo was puzzling, a tall, voluptuous woman of above-average appearance approached Xuan Mo and his companions. However, seemingly preoccupied, she didn't notice them.
Just as the woman drew very close, Flanders coughed.
The woman finally came to her senses, realizing she was in front of two people. She, too, sensed the fluctuations in Xuan Mo's spirit power.
As for Flanders, she didn't detect any fluctuations in spirit power, but she was also a clever person.
"I'm Shuya, a twenty-first-level Great Spirit Master, a subordinate spirit master of the Soto City Spirit Hall. I wonder what brings you two spirit masters to the Spirit Hall?"
Flanders said, "I'm bringing my student to the Spirit Hall for an advancement assessment, and also to test his spirit power."
The woman named Shuya was immediately surprised. "Your student is so young, and he's already obtained his first spirit ring? So fast! You're truly a responsible teacher."
Seeing Flanders' expressionless face, she continued, "Soul Master, your student has already obtained a spirit ring, making him considered a true spirit master. If you don't mind, I can take you to the reception hall to see Master Cao Nuoyan."
Xuan Mo didn't have any objections to the female spirit master's words, but Flanders' eyes lit up.
"Thank you for your help," he said before he let the woman lead the way.
A short while later, Shu Ya led Xuan Mo up the nearby stairs to the second floor of the Spirit Hall. Arriving at the second-floor hallway, Xuan Mo and Flanders saw a circle of rooms. From there, they could also see the main hall on the first floor. Needless to say, this was the Spirit Hall's reception hall.
"Knock, knock!" Shu Ya knocked directly on the door and pushed it open.
"Who's there?"
A somewhat aged voice echoed from within. It was a brightly lit office. Behind a large desk sat an elderly man. His neat Spirit Master attire and the standard insignia on his body indicated he was a Spirit Master of the Soul Sect rank.
"Xiaoya, it's you. Why are you back? Sigh! Shuya, I apologize. My nephew, Su Yuntao, has been completely captivated by Sisi from Notting City. I'm at my wit's end."
Shuya smiled politely, "Master Cao Nuoyan, let's not discuss this for now. I'm here for a while now. A middle-aged spirit master and a student are here for an advanced level assessment. I'm sorry to bother you."
With that, Xuan Mo and Flanders, who were walking behind Shuya, entered the room.
Xuan Mo, standing behind her, overheard the conversation between Shuya and the old man, and his confusion was not only resolved. He also couldn't help but grumble, "Su Yuntao, Su Yuntao. You have someone who likes you, and you don't even cherish them."
Of course, Xuan Mo wouldn't say these words out loud. Not only did it have nothing to do with him, but saying them would risk being seen as foolish and getting into trouble.
At this moment, Master Cao Nuoyan, after hearing Shu Ya's words, turned his gaze to Xuan Mo with a hint of surprise. "Shu Ya, are you sure this child is here for an advanced assessment, not a spirit awakening?"
"Hmph! Of course,"
Flender, standing aside, ignored, snorted. The Soul Sage's aura slowly emanated from Master Cao Nuoyan.
Upon hearing this, Master Cao Nuoyan looked at Flender. Sensing this aura, his face lit up with alarm.
He quickly waved, telling Shu Ya to leave. Shu Ya, perceptive enough to see this, quickly closed the door and departed.
Seeing the door shut, Master Cao Nuoyan quickly addressed Flender, "Excuse me, Soul Sage, would you like to test your student's spirit power?"
Flender didn't answer. Instead, a faint glint flashed in his eyes as he asked.
"How do you know I'm a Soul Sage?"
Cao Nuoyan said respectfully, "I once had the honor of feeling the powerful aura of a Soul Sage. That's why I know."
Flender nodded slightly. "Alright, let's not waste time. Just get it over with."
Upon hearing this, Master Cao Nuoyan quickly produced a crystal ball and placed it in front of Xuan Mo. "Little boy, do you remember your spirit awakening? Just like then, slowly inject your spirit power into the crystal ball."
Xuan Mo naturally didn't object. He nodded, placed his hand on the crystal ball, and began to slowly inject his spirit power into it.
Soon, a ray of white light emanated from the crystal ball.
"Level 14!"
Seeing the light from the crystal ball, Master Cao Nuoyan's face was filled with surprise.
He looked at Xuan Mo as if he were a small monster. He thought to himself, "Could it be that the spirit ring itself is so powerful, which has increased the spirit power? But it shouldn't jump four levels at once! That's terrifying."
Thinking of this, Cao Nuoyan, ignoring Flender, asked, "Kid, can you tell me what spirit beast did you hunt to obtain this spirit ring?"
As soon as he said this,
"Oh! Do we have to tell the Spirit Hall about our spirit ring configurations when we come to evaluate our spirit power?"
Flender's eyes flashed with a chilling, heart-wrenching light.
Master Cao Nuoyan was so shocked by Flender's words that he broke out in a cold sweat and froze in his tracks.
