Hexagonal Warrior

"You came yourself?"

Hearing the old man's words, Lin Yuan was stunned.

One had to know, the person before him was no ordinary individual.

Within Mingde Hall, there were a total of four Level 9 Soul Engineers.

However, Level 9 Soul Engineers were essentially immersed in their laboratories, obsessed with research day and night, and rarely showed their faces.

As the core of the academy, Mingde Hall had numerous affairs that required handling on a daily basis.

As a senior Level 8 Soul Engineer of the academy, the old man before him was the very supervisor responsible for managing the various affairs of Mingde Hall.

He could be called the person with the most real power in Mingde Hall, second only to the Hall Master.

His influence was even greater than that of some Level 9 Soul Engineers.

Throughout all of Mingde Hall, everyone had to respectfully address him as Elder Ma.

For such a heavyweight figure to personally come to preside over Ye Luochen's test!

It seemed Ye Luochen's performance was stunning enough!

The subsequent tests did not take too long, and soon, all of Ye Luochen's data had been basically clarified.

Physical strength: Soul King level.

Physical flexibility: Soul Emperor level.

Power: Soul King level.

Speed: Soul King level.

Reaction: Excellent.

Mental power: Approaching Level 4 Soul Engineer level.

With this data, the gazes of the teachers present toward Ye Luochen changed completely.

At first, they had not been optimistic about the special-grade evaluation that Lin Yuan had applied to initiate.

They had only come to give him face and go through the motions.

Because what kind of place was Mingde Hall?

This was the core of the academy, and even the entire empire.

How could they easily allow a student who had just passed the entrance test to join?

As for the so-called "genius" attribute of this new student that Lin Yuan had emphasized in his application, they had not cared much either.

Because Mingde Hall was never short of geniuses.

Who among those who could enter Mingde Hall hadn't stood out from countless students of the same period?

Who couldn't be called a genius?

But now, the thoughts of these instructors had all changed.

For no other reason than that Ye Luochen's data was simply too monstrous.

There were students with outstanding physical strength.

There were students with outstanding power levels.

There were also students with other outstanding individual attributes.

But as for a student whose every attribute was outstanding, they didn't know if there would be anyone in the future, but it was definitely unprecedented!

Judging from the test data, Ye Luochen was undoubtedly a hexagonal warrior with no shortcomings!

"Good, good, good. Lin Yuan, you have brought a treasure to Mingde Hall this time."

Elder Ma said the word "good" three times in a row.

Even with his rich knowledge and experience from many years in Mingde Hall, he was stunned by Ye Luochen's near-perfect data at this moment.

"Child, release your martial soul and let me see what this martial soul, which Lin Yuan calls 'born for soul tools,' actually looks like."

Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Elder Ma looked at Ye Luochen and spoke gently.

It wasn't just Elder Ma; the rest of the teachers also cast their gazes toward Ye Luochen.

They were extremely curious now.

After all, when Lin Yuan initiated the application earlier, he had emphasized the superiority of Ye Luochen's martial soul, while the other attributes were only secondary.

And now, according to the test data, these attributes that Lin Yuan treated as secondary could be called extremely stunning!

What about the martial soul that Lin Yuan valued so highly?

Just how extraordinary could it be?

Hearing Elder Ma's words, Ye Luochen nodded.

Following this, his soul power surged, and the Dark Iron Blade condensed in his hand.

With just a single glance, the teachers present instantly understood why Lin Yuan had used the phrase "born for soul tools" to describe Ye Luochen's martial soul during the application process.

It was shaped exactly like a carving knife!

It was as if he had been born with a companion carving knife, one that possessed a perfect, one-hundred-percent compatibility with its master.

How were other soul engineers, who spent vast amounts of time and energy constantly searching for a carving knife that suited them, supposed to live?

Truly, the greatest divide between people.

Is the amniotic fluid.

This was a living, breathing example of what it meant to be a natural-born soul engineer!

However, unlike the other teachers who all wore expressions of relief, Elder Ma quickly thought of a new question.

He spoke gently to Ye Luochen once more:

"Child, what are the attributes of the three soul rings you have attached to this martial soul?"

Hearing Elder Ma's question, the group of teachers finally snapped back to reality.

Indeed, the shape of a martial soul could not represent everything.

The martial soul's attributes, as well as the attributes of its attached soul rings, were also crucial.

In all their years at Mingde Hall, they had seen too many students go astray because they chose the wrong direction for their soul rings.

What if Ye Luochen's martial soul only resembled a carving knife in appearance, but he had taken a path incompatible with soul engineering?

Then they would have to re-evaluate his potential for development in the field of soul tools.

Facing Elder Ma's question, Ye Luochen did not answer directly; instead, he mobilized his soul power.

Three soul rings flashed into existence.

"My first soul ring comes from a five-hundred-year-old Steel-Tooth Mantis. It enhances the strength of the Dark Iron Blade, making it as tough and sharp as the mantis's scythes."

"My second soul ring comes from an eight-hundred-year-old Wind-Blade Phoenix Butterfly. Its effect is to imbue my attacks with wind blades."

"My third soul ring comes from a fourteen-hundred-year-old Blade-Shadow Marten. Its effect is to grant the Dark Iron Blade piercing and laceration properties."

Hearing Ye Luochen's reply, a gleam of light ignited in Elder Ma's cloudy, aged eyes.

It was settled; it was basically a sure thing!

"Come, use your soul skills to try and cut this piece of metal."

As he spoke, Elder Ma flipped his palm, and a piece of jet-black metal appeared.

Facing the request, Ye Luochen simply nodded.

Then, his soul rings shone in sequence, and in an instant, he swung his blade three times in succession.

Clack! Clack! Clack!

The jet-black metal was divided into four equal pieces, the cut surfaces as smooth as a mirror.

"Good, good, good!"

Three more "goods" rang out from Elder Ma's mouth.

Now it was truly settled.

What he had just produced was no ordinary metal; it was a rare metal known for its extreme hardness.

Yet, Ye Luochen had managed to cut through it with such ease.

This proved that the direction of his martial soul's development was exactly what a soul-tool carving knife required: sharpness!

The subsequent questioning only served to verify this further.

According to Ye Luochen, when he reached level ten and was able to attach a soul ring, he had faced many choices.

Some had urged him to follow the flying-blade path, attaching soul rings with lightness attributes to the Dark Iron Blade to use it as a throwing weapon.

Others had urged him to follow the poison-tempering path, attaching soul rings with poison attributes to the Dark Iron Blade to emulate that legend from ten thousand years ago.

But after much deliberation, Ye Luochen had ultimately chosen the attribute he believed was most compatible with the Dark Iron Blade.

Sharpness.

Hearing Ye Luochen's answer, the group of instructors in the hall nodded repeatedly.

"Good lad, you chose correctly!"

"Your martial soul is small and compact, destined to be unable to perform the sweeping, wide-range movements of other blade-type martial souls. Taking the path of extreme sharpness is indeed an excellent choice."

"That is true. It is fortunate you did not listen to bad advice and go astray. Attaching a poison attribute? Does everyone really think everything can be tempered with poison?"

"Ridiculous."
