Alliance

This is a bead made of Soul Steel, called Soul Testing Bead. It feels incredibly light to the touch, but to a soul, it feels like a thousand pounds.

"The test for Soul Control is also simple. After the test begins, a large number of Soul Testing Bead will fall from the ceiling."

What you need to do is not use your Dou Qi, but only your Soul Power to catch these Soul Testing Bead.

In the end, whoever catches the most Soul Testing Bead will be the best performer in this test, and so on, to determine the rankings.

"The record left by this Soul Control test is 71."

Upon hearing this, Cao Ying covered her mouth and chuckled, her Demonic Energy eyes gleaming with a bewitching aura as she slowly spoke.

"It seems Mr. Xiao Ming will break this record again today. I just wonder how high it will go."

Xiao Ming glanced casually at the enchantress and whispered to Elder Sheng.

"The rules have been explained, let's begin."

Elder Sheng nodded slightly. "A little reminder before the test: don't even think about catching too many Soul Testing Bead at once, as this will scatter your Soul Power. In this kind of assessment, that's the most foolish thing to do! Now... let the test begin!"

Elder Sheng gave a serious reminder, then his figure flashed backward. As he retreated, countless dark holes appeared on the ceiling above the main hall. A moment later, a deluge of dark Iron Bead poured down from the sky like a torrential rain!

Swish!

Xiao Ming disregarded Elder Sheng's advice; his powerful soul transformed into an invisible net, reaching out to scoop up the corrupted, pitch-black Iron Bead.

Iron Bead were caught in the net, but Xiao Ming remained calm and easily brought them back to his side.

One, two, three, four...

In no time, his surroundings were already covered with Iron Bead.

Seeing how easily Xiao Ming worked, the Qiu and Bai Families also wanted to learn from Xiao Ming, transforming their souls into a large net to directly catch the Iron Bead. This operation made Elder Sheng was standing nearby, shake his head.

What is Xiao Ming's strength? What is yours? Don't you have any idea? If you try to imitate him like this, you'll probably get smashed over your head!

Just as Elder Sheng had expected, the scattered Soul Power above the heads of the Qiu and Bai Families caused the Soul Testing Bead almost no delay, piercing through them directly and then raining down on the two of them. They could only dodge the falling Soul Testing Bead in a sorry state, which was obviously due to the excessive dispersion of their Soul Power.

Cao Ying and Dan Chen fared better. They followed Elder Sheng's advice, gathering their Soul Power as much as possible, and then, not daring to be greedy, they caught the Soul Testing Bead falling from the sky one by one.

Two exceptionally beautiful women dodged the Iron Bead with the grace of butterflies flitting among flowers, their beautiful figures twisting in breathtaking arcs, adding considerable visual appeal to the test.

As time passed and the number of Soul Testing Bead collected increased, it became a huge test of everyone's Soul Power. Bai Ying and the Qiu Family members were already overwhelmed and retreated wearily.

The number of Soul Testing Bead floating in front of the two were thirty-one and thirty, respectively.

About seven or eight minutes after the two left, Dan Chen and Cao Ying left one after the other, both with scores of exactly 101.

It was clear that both of them had given it their all; their fair and flawless faces were slightly flushed, and their breathing had become a little rapid, producing extremely pleasant and melodious panting sounds.

Seeing that the two women had left, Xiao Ming was too lazy to stay inside. With a thought, the howling soul circle gradually subsided, and he stepped out as well.

One by one, the Soul Testing Bead fell to the ground. Xiao Ming remained quite relaxed, showing no signs of having reached his limit.

"143 pieces!"

This number was really insignificant, but the audience wasn't surprised, because they saw that Xiao Ming only grabbed the Iron Bead at the beginning, and then just stood in the middle of the field waiting for others to finish. Obviously, Xiao Ming went easy on them again, even more so than before.

Elder Sheng watched all this with satisfaction. Cao Ying and Dan Chen's performances were actually quite good, breaking previous records. The two were among the top geniuses in the history of the Pill Tower.

As for Xiao Ming? He's on a completely different level. He's just here to have fun, so there's no comparison.

"The soul manipulation test is over. According to the rules, Elder Xiao Ming is first, Cao Ying and Dan Chen are tied for second, and Bai Ying is third..."

"Now that the second round is over, let me first talk about the third round of assessment. Soul Power is the foundation of Alchemist. This third round of assessment will not only test the soul, but also its offensive capabilities. After all, this is one of the Alchemist's effective attack methods..."

Elder Sheng paused for a moment, then pointed to a red circle ten zhang wide in the arena and smiled, "The final test is also very simple. The five of you will enter this circle together and fight each other using your Soul Power. Whoever is left in the circle at the end will be the final winner."

In fact, Elder Sheng really wanted to say that Xiao Ming was number one. After all, when it comes to comparing Soul Power, there are only three giants in the Pill Tower who can compare with Xiao Ming on the surface.

The few little guys in front of me are probably no match for one of their hands.

That being said, the necessary procedures still need to be followed.

Seeing that everyone understood the rules, Elder Sheng didn't say anything more. Pointing to the red circle in the arena, he smiled and said, "Since there are no problems, let's go in."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming and the other four nodded and entered in turn. However, the other four, except for Xiao Ming, had slightly solemn expressions, clearly under considerable pressure.

The five people occupied the five positions in the red circle, and then sat down cross-legged. This was a contest of Soul Power, not Dou Qi. People who have reached this level can release their Soul Power to launch attacks, so they do not need to move their bodies.

Seeing that all five were ready, Elder Sheng slowly stepped back, then waved his hand sharply and said in a deep voice, "The assessment begins!"

As soon as Elder Sheng finished speaking, Cao Ying quietly formed a hand seal, and then suddenly froze!

As his hand seals solidified, a surge of immense Soul Power erupted from between his brows, instantly transforming into a Soul Phoenix. The phoenix flapped its wings, causing space to rapidly distort.

Dan Chen did the same, her Soul Power directly transforming into an Azure Luan, its microscopic vision no less than Cao Ying's as it flapped its wings.

The Bai Ying and the Qiu Family did not have such methods; they simply released their Soul Power.

Four streams of Soul Power converged in the air, then rushed directly towards Xiao Ming like lightning.

"Knowing you can't beat me, you're all attacking at once? In that case, let's settle this with one decisive move."
