"Dragon Scale Flower Spirit"

"Lone Wolf, possess me!" Su Yuntao roared, and two spirit rings, one white and one yellow, lit up beneath his feet. A wolf-shaped beast phantom roared into existence behind him.

At the same time, Su Yuntao's body began to transform into that of a wolf!

Seeing Su Yuntao's appearance, quite a few children jumped in fright.

"Children, there's no need to be nervous. Enter the Hexagram Array one by one in order!" Su Yuntao said.

"First contestant, Duke Damo's son, Dashiqi!" the master of ceremonies called out.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Dashiqi walked into the Hexagram Array. The Black Stones at its six points lit up, forming a barrier of light without a single blind spot that enveloped him.

Before long, the golden light emitted by those Black Stones flowed into Dashiqi's body.

"Extend your right hand!" Su Yuntao said softly.

When Dashiqi held out his palm, a miniature sword appeared above it. The sword was entirely blood-red, its patterns exquisitely detailed.

At the sight of the Blood Sword, Duke Damo's entire family was especially excited. This meant their family would have a worthy successor!

"A Sword Spirit!" Su Yuntao exclaimed in surprise. "Test your Soul Power!"

"Dashiqi, Blood Sword Spirit, Innate Soul Power Level Six!" the master of ceremonies shouted shortly afterward.

Next, the remaining children began testing their spirits in succession:

"Di Jie, Overlord Eagle Spirit, Innate Soul Power Level Three!"

"Shi Ritian, Rake Spirit, Innate Soul Power Level Zero!"

"Zhu Banjin, Scissor Spirit, Innate Soul Power Level One!"

"Yan Danye, Carrot Spirit, Innate Soul Power Level Zero!"

Clearly, those tested at the beginning were all from prominent families. Their numbers were few, but both their spirits and Innate Soul Power were impressive.

Most of the commoners tested afterward, however, had useless spirits!

This showed just how precious soul masters were!

"Next, Prince Ye Qin!"

Hearing this, Ye Qin also stepped into the Hexagram Array, and the familiar barrier of light appeared before everyone once more.

Then, when Ye Qin extended his right hand, a black flower formed above it.

Its petals were like dragon claws, stretching in every direction. Its entire body shimmered with a faint black glow, wrapped in ancient runes and filled with a mysterious aura!

"This is..." Even Su Yuntao, who had seen countless spirits, was startled.

"Dragon Scale Flower Spirit... a black Dragon Scale Flower!" Su Yuntao cried out.

"Gasp! It's actually a top-tier spirit, the Dragon Scale Flower!"

"My, my, it seems the Hagen Das Kingdom finally has a successor!"

The onlookers immediately erupted into discussion.

Hu Liena's delicate brows furrowed slightly. As Bibi Dong's disciple, she naturally knew of the Dragon Scale Flower and the Dragon Scale Sect.

Although the Dragon Scale Sect had not been considered a top-tier sect centuries ago, it had still been one of the Lower Four Sects!

Unfortunately, times had changed, and the Dragon Scale Sect had completely declined. The Dragon Scale Flower had not appeared again since.

Yet many people still remembered that the Dragon Scale Flower had once been capable of rivaling the Clear Sky Hammer, a tool spirit, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, a beast spirit. It had been known as the sovereign of plant-type spirits!

I have to find a way to bring him into Spirit Hall! Hu Liena thought. That way, not only will the Hagen Das Kingdom fall under Spirit Hall's control, but we'll also gain an unparalleled genius.

Seeing the spirit in Ye Qin's hand, Ye Xuan, seated upon the throne, revealed an even more sorrowful expression. She murmured, "Sister, the Dragon Scale Flower has finally appeared again. Little Qin has grown up! I'll cherish him twice as much!"

A clear tear then slid down her breathtakingly beautiful cheek.

"Ding! Congratulations, host. Check-in Quest: Make Empress Ye Xuan Cry, completed. As this is your first completed Check-in Quest, the system will grant you one mysterious gift pack!"

"..." Ye Qin was currently absorbed by the Dragon Scale Flower in his hand. Hearing the system prompt, he could not help freezing in place.

At this moment, Su Yuntao had already handed a crystal ball to Ye Qin and respectfully said, "Your Highness, please test your Innate Soul Power!"

"Mm!" Only then did Ye Qin come back to his senses. He placed his hand above the crystal ball.

Then, as Ye Qin poured his Soul Power into it, the blue crystal ball began to shine. The light soon reached its peak, filling the entire crystal ball!

"Innate Full Soul Power! Innate Full Soul Power, Level Ten!" Su Yuntao said, unable to conceal his excitement.

The subjects of the Hagen Das Kingdom erupted in cheers.

Seeing this scene, Ye Qin was actually a little unhappy. He preferred to keep a low profile!

But it seemed his strength would not allow it?

"Prince Ye Qin, on behalf of Spirit Hall, I invite you to join us!" Hu Liena walked over and personally extended the invitation.

Although Hu Liena was aloof, she knew that making an exception for someone with Innate Full Soul Power was completely worthwhile!

What was more, Ye Qin was the prince of a kingdom!

Hearing this, everyone, including Ye Xuan, was shocked.

What status did Hu Liena possess?

She was the disciple of Spirit Hall's Pope and a candidate for Saintess!

To receive an invitation from her was something countless people could only dream of.

Even Ye Qin's heart skipped a beat. He had not expected Hu Liena to personally invite him.

Yet Ye Qin merely paused before replying, "I refuse!"

At those words, the entire crowd was dumbfounded!

Hu Liena's brows drew tightly together. "What did you say?"

"I refuse!" Ye Qin repeated.

In truth, Ye Qin had his reasons for refusing.

Although he liked Bibi Dong and would definitely go to Spirit Hall, the time was simply not right yet.

For one thing, he did not want to live under someone else's roof!

For another, his current strength was far too low. He had neither the means nor the desire to conquer Bibi Dong!

Of course, he was confident that he could earn Bibi Dong's favor with his own intelligence and his heaven-defying system, but was he the kind of man who liked living off a woman?

No!

Hu Liena's expression changed dramatically. Fuming, she stormed straight out of the palace!

Seeing this, Ye Xuan shook her head and sighed softly, but said nothing.

Watching Hu Liena's departing figure, Ye Qin himself did not think much of it, as though everything had gone exactly as he expected.

Then he hurried toward his bedchamber.

Upon arriving in his bedchamber, he eagerly shut the doors tight and murmured, "System, are you there?"

"Yes!" the system prompt sounded. "Would you like to open the mysterious gift pack?"

"You understand me after all. Open it!" Ye Qin replied.

"Ding! The mysterious gift pack has been opened:
