Soul Guiding Tower

As the voice faded, many people walked forward.

A very heavy door in front of them slowly opened.

As the gate opened, the scene inside was revealed, consisting of places resembling Cloud Platform.

Each participant found a Cloud Platform and stood on it.

As they stood atop the Cloud Platform, a number appeared before them.

These are their entry numbers, used for score tracking.

Lin Mu also stood on a Cloud Platform, with a bronze Bronze Cauldron placed in front of him. The Bronze Cauldron had rather complex patterns on it, which seemed to be related to the Divine Soul.

Just looking at these patterns can subtly touch Divine Soul.

"The First Level: Guiding Soul into Cauldron!"

"The Bronze Cauldron in front of you was crafted by Divine Soul Sorcerer of the Fifth Order or higher. You need to trace the patterns on the Bronze Cauldron with your Divine Soul. The more complete and detailed the trace, the stronger the light emitted by the Bronze Cauldron will be!"

"The light is divided into five levels: gray, cyan, blue, purple, and gold, with gray being the lowest and gold the highest!"

"Furthermore, the intensity of the light will also be an important factor in the scoring!"

"..."

Li Zhong spoke in an extremely loud voice to everyone present.

As soon as he finished speaking, an incense burner appeared in front of the Immortal Platform, with incense and candles lit inside, and wisps of smoke curling around it.

"The incense and candles will be the limit; once they burn out, no one may activate their Divine Soul!"

Many people outside the arena looked at the Bronze Cauldron on the Cloud Platform with disbelief in their eyes.

"That's Soul Guiding Cauldron! And it was crafted by Fifth Tier Divine Soul Sorcerer. It looks incredibly difficult to make!"

"Indeed, the patterns on the Soul Guiding Cauldron are quite delicate, and many parts require precision. If not controlled properly, all previous efforts could be wasted!"

"This is too difficult! No wonder it's a selection test for sorcerers! Ordinary people are simply not qualified to take on this challenge!"

"..."

Many people are discussing it.

They all knew very well that this required the sorcerer to have extremely high precision in controlling the Divine Soul Power.

If this cannot be done, it will be difficult to activate the Bronze Cauldron.

The contestants standing on the Cloud Platform all took a deep breath and looked at the Bronze Cauldron in front of them.

This is the First Level in activating the Soul Guiding Cauldron: observing the cauldron.

Memorizing the patterns on the Bronze Cauldron and becoming familiar with their direction will make it easier to activate the Bronze Cauldron and increase the success rate.

Many people on Immortal Platform turned their gazes toward them.

One of them had a slight smile on his lips, "There's a Soul Shaking Bell set up on this Soul Guiding Cauldron. When you observe it, you'll be affected by the sound of the Soul Shaking Bell, and that feeling isn't pleasant!"

"It's all the work of Li Gui. They love to do these things to increase the difficulty!" another person said.

A rather rugged-looking man with a lot of body hair took a sip of his drink and said disdainfully, "The purpose of the assessment is to select the strong. If you don't even have this much ability, what are you participating in?"

An Mo nodded slightly and said slowly, "I agree with this statement. To become a top student, one must have certain abilities, not rely on connections!"

Tang Daidai's beautiful eyes held a hint of coldness as she said indifferently, "Don't be embarrassed when you get slapped in the face now, talking so confidently!"

An Mo snorted coldly; he didn't believe Lin Mu's performance could surpass that of his grandson.

Ji Xi remained silent, simply watching quietly.

He knew that interfering too much with these people's thoughts was pointless.

Only when the results are finalized can this storm be quelled.

Puff!

Just then, a person on the Cloud Platform coughed up blood.

He looked at the Soul Guiding Cauldron in his hand in surprise.

He clearly felt a bell ringing from the Soul Guiding Cauldron.

The sound shattered his Divine Soul and made him extremely uncomfortable.

"The Soul Shaking Bell, this Soul Guiding Cauldron has been set with a trap!" the man couldn't help but exclaim.

The same thing keeps happening to different people.

Some of those with weaker Divine Soul coughed up blood, their faces contorted in agony.

Some with stronger Divine Soul noticed the signs immediately and guarded their Divine Soul.

An Zian, Zhou Cong, and others were also affected to varying degrees.

However, their Divine Soul were strong, and they had cultivated Secret Art, so they naturally had ways to deal with the sound of the bell.

All that could be seen around An Zian were streaks of energy resembling sword energy.

These sword energies trembled rapidly, offsetting the effects of the bell's sound.

Zhou Cong, on the other hand, had mountains appear on the surface of his Divine Soul, which enveloped his Divine Soul.

Even the sound of the bell in front of them was not significantly affected.

Lin Mu looked at the Soul-Guiding Bell in his hand, and he also heard the sound of the bell.

However, a strange look appeared in his eyes.

The sound of the bells seemed to have no effect on him.

"It seems that my training in the Inverted Tower has raised my Divine Soul resistance to a very high level!"

Lin Mu thought to himself.

In comparison, the impact of this bell on the Divine Soul is still not as great as the chaos on the Seventh Floor of the Inverted Tower.

With the system's help, Lin Mu experienced hundreds of chaotic trials.

He naturally wouldn't care about the harm the bell caused him.

Looking at the Soul Guiding Cauldron in his hand, Lin Mu observed it carefully.

He knew that sharpening the axe wouldn't delay the work of chopping wood.

The more detailed your understanding, the higher your success rate will be.

Little did he know that his behavior would be perceived in a completely different light by others.

Many people frowned slightly.

Because Lin Mu seemed too quiet.

The silence was somewhat unusual.

"How come he wasn't affected by the Soul Shaking Bell?"

"That's right! Even though An Zian and Liao Yuting used various methods to resist, how come he seems completely unharmed?"

"There's another possibility: he's been stunned by the shock!"

"It seems quite possible! After all, the Soul Shaking Bell directly attacks the Divine Soul, and if someone is caught off guard, it can easily cause them to faint!"

"Holy crap, can he really be this bad?!"

"Otherwise, how do you explain that he's completely unharmed?"

"..."

Some people speculated.

They didn't think Lin Mu could stand up to people like An Zian.

In their view, An Zian needed to use so many methods to resist.

How could Lin Mu possibly have it so easy?

Moreover, Lin Mu's Divine Soul level is not high, and it is very likely that, just as they guessed, he would faint from the suddenness of the situation.

However, the body remained in a standing position.

Under their watchful eyes, An Zian and the others had completed their observation of the cauldron and were now using their Divine Soul Power on the Soul Guiding Cauldron.

A series of dazzling lights then appeared.

Everyone could see that this process was not easy; even someone as strong as An Zian had sweat dripping down his forehead.

Some people with weaker Divine Soul did not last long before failing, Soul Guiding Cauldron fell to the ground, leaving them somewhat frustrated.
