At last, he had entered Ming De Hall. Though he had been mentally prepared, everything here still filled Ye Chen with surprise.

He could almost foresee that he would learn much knowledge here that would be difficult to attain elsewhere.

After Lin Jiayi left with Fan Yu, Ye Chen quietly noted the direction they had gone.

Though the scene outside was impressive, it ultimately belonged to the students of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Soul Masters below Rank 8 conducting research. Even if there were good things here, Jing Hongchen would not be foolish enough to place them here.

Afterward, Ye Chen mobilized his Spiritual Power and slowly spread it through the surroundings, beginning to investigate the area.

Sure enough, the underground fortress was filled with surveillance Soul Tools, their coverage leaving almost no blind spots.

About two hundred meters away, in an unused dark area, there was a small door roughly two meters tall. Both panels were made of a dark silver metal. There was no lock on them, not even a handle.

It seemed to be a Soul Tool, with a core formation inside that controlled its opening mechanism.

Ye Chen controlled his Spiritual Power and tentatively made contact with the door. At the same time, a faint ripple instantly appeared across the dark silver metal surface.

Ye Chen's heart jolted. He hurriedly withdrew all the Spiritual Power he had released and warily observed his surroundings.

Clearly, the Soul Tool door had detected Ye Chen's Spiritual Power.

But how was that possible?

Ye Chen's Spiritual Power had already reached the Tangible but Formless level. On the continent today, below Limit Douluo, perhaps only Ye Chen and Huo Yuhao possessed such Spiritual Power.

In the past, no matter what Ye Chen did, he had never been discovered.
