38. Compete for the power of the soul
Footsteps outside the stone house broke the silence inside. Accompanied by arrogant footsteps, a loud man's voice sounded, "Everyone is here?"
The light of the stone house dimmed slightly, and a lean and short domestic servant broke into everyone's field of vision, it was Master Qiao, who was presiding over the soul power test today.
In appearance, Master Qiao is a lean and short domestic servant, with two mouse-like beards, and has a bit of a thief's eyebrows. Although Lord Qiao is not good-looking, his cultivation strength is very extraordinary. He casually walked to the center of the stone house, and a fierce true qi burst out from his body, forming a terrifying coercion.
This kind of coercive atmosphere reminded Xia Gui of the previous coach who was a martial arts instructor for the soldiers in the martial arts training ground of the Southern Wilderness Country. That coach is also so really angry, for fear that others won't understand how powerful he is.
When the slaves saw Master Qiao, they were all honest, and they bowed down to say hello.
Master Joe nodded, a sharp gaze sweeping over each slave's face. When I saw Xia Gui, I couldn't help but stay for a while.
He had heard of Xia Gui's name, a new slave who had been in the country for less than two months, had completed two difficult missions that had been issued directly by the Northern Base, and had taken over as the leader of the Hundred Beast Garden.
Xia Gui and his gaze formed a brief eye contact, but seeing that this person's eyes were sharp, he looked at Xia Gui with a bit of elegance, as if he was thinking about something, and Xia Gui's heart couldn't help but suddenly, and quickly avoided his gaze.
Master Joe chuckled, and then slowly took out a smooth piece of obsidian from his coat pocket. This obsidian is pitch black, pure dark and dull, without any luster. At first glance, it looks like a crow-like stone, but in fact, it can be so black that it is free of impurities, which is absolutely extraordinary.
This stone is called the "Black Soul Stone" and can detect the strength of the cultivator's soul power.
The practitioner only needs to place the palm of his hand on the stone and activate the soul power hidden deep in the body, and the stone can sense the intensity. Depending on the perceived strength of the soul, the Black Soul Stone will emit a soft light that is different in color and luster. The stronger the soul power, the stronger the luster.
"As always, let's test the power of the soul first. "Lord Joe is humane.
"Yes. The crowd answered.
The leaders of the slave group in the house were all familiar with the car, and they naturally knew what kind of routine it was. It was also generous to walk in front of the obsidian and line up one by one.
That Zhang Yun and Liu Xian took the lead, leading the way, followed by Ah Rong.
And in the stone house, the leader of the kitchen team who had not talked much, looked at Xia Gui with a flickering eye, and actually whispered: "Brother, you are in front of me." ”
Xia Gui was a little stunned, he was a newcomer, and he was still asked to be in front of this old slave. He hesitated for a moment, and before he could answer, he heard Liu Xian and Zhang Yun laugh in a whisper: "This brother of ours has been at the bottom twice in a row. Now that there is a new eighth brother Wang, Brother Bao took the initiative to ask to be ranked behind him, presumably because he found a new bottom. ”
The slave surnamed Bao was exposed, and his honest face was slightly red, and he looked at Xia Gui with some embarrassment.
Before, under the contrast of Zhang Yun and Liu Xian, his soul power always seemed dim and thin, and the contrast was very obvious. Today, with the addition of Xia Gui, a newcomer, his pattern of being at the bottom will be broken.
He took it for granted that Xia Gui's test results would be very poor. At that time, he who followed closely behind him could also enjoy the convenience of being set off once, highlighting the obvious effect.
"Did you let you speak!" Lord Qiao glared at Zhang Yun and Liu Xian viciously.
Zhang Yun and Liu Xian hurriedly bowed down and admitted their mistake.
Faced with the embarrassed look of the slave surnamed Bao, Xia Gui knew that it was not easy for him to survive, and he was afraid that he would be assigned to the northern base if he was at the bottom three times in a row. Xia Gui didn't say much, and was directly behind Ah Rong.
To be honest, he doesn't have much confidence either. Although he had practiced the Great Life and Death Technique for a few days, he didn't know what level his soul power was compared to that of ordinary slaves.
Ah Biao touched his head innocently and looked at Master Qiao, "Do I want to test it too?"
Master Qiao nodded, "Since there are newcomers today, let's test them all." ”
Ah Biao silently lined up at the end of the line.
The first test was Zhang Yun.
When he put his palm on it, a soft halo of light swirled around the surface of the black soul stone, revealing a faint aura. After this faint halo appeared, the shape and color of the surface of the black soul stone changed, and the black that was originally as dull as a crow, the brilliance flowed, and it became a little softer, more like a dark gray gem.
Zhang Yun saw this dark gray, but shook his head helplessly.
The tester's soul power affects the purity of the Black Soul Stone. The lighter the black of the Black Soul Stone is refined, the stronger the soul power is.
Zhang Yun had been able to wash the Black Soul Stone into a dark gray color last month, and this month, the color of the Black Soul Stone had not faded further, proving that he had not made progress this month.
"Next. "Mistress Joe has arrived.
Liu Xian took a step forward quietly, and also put his palm on the black soul stone in the same way. Immediately afterward, a soft halo of the same dark gray shrouded the stone, and the brilliance slowly flowed. On closer inspection, this halo is softer than Zhang Yun's, and the color is also lighter, faintly transcending.
I saw Master Qiao say expressionlessly: "Better." ”
Liu Xian was silent on the surface, and couldn't hide the ecstatic excitement in his heart, and silently walked to the side.
Last month, his soul power was a little worse than Zhang Yun's, and this time he was able to catch up, obviously for a reason.
At the beginning of the month, when he was inspecting the work of slaves, he found that a slave had picked up a fragment of a one-level soul technique cheat book from somewhere, and was frowning at the fragment and cultivating.
You must know that soul skills are secrets that specialize in soul power, and even a fragment of soul skill cheats at the human level is very rare. Liu Xian discovered this secret book and immediately found a reason to confiscate these fragments of the pages and keep them for himself.
For the next month, he whipped the slaves under him every day to work, and he didn't do anything, found a place where no one was, and continued to practice penances on these pages of incomplete fragments of human-level soul technique cheats.
Although it is a human-level soul technique cheat, and it is still a fragment, the effect is also extraordinary! After a month of hard cultivation, his soul power is even purer than last time, and even surpasses Zhang Yun, who was originally ahead.
Zhang Yun, who was standing beside Liu Xian, took a breath of cold air and glanced at Liu Xian with a puzzled gaze. This kid was clearly inferior to himself last month, but he caught up this month, he must be very puzzled, why Liu Xian has been improving.
Of course, Liu Xian wouldn't tell anyone this secret, just pretended to be at a loss and stood aside.
Followed by Ah Rong. Although Ah Rong was a delicate woman, her soul power was even stronger than these two men, and the black soul stone emitted a light gray color and halo.
Seeing this obvious light gray, Lord Qiao on the side couldn't help but nodded. The gray of the previous two slaves was dark gray, while the gray of Ah Rong was light gray.
"Diligence. There was a hint of appreciation in Lord Joe's words.
Zhang Yun and Liu Xian gasped, this woman is worthy of being Ah Biao's sister, she really occupies the right time and place, and I am afraid that she has enjoyed a lot of benefits.
Ah Rong turned around slightly, Shi Shiran stood aside, and found Zhang Yun and Liu Xian looking at him with wolf-like eyes. The two men's two pairs of thief eyes were shining, and they never moved away from their waists and legs. Of course she knew what the two were thinking, but she wasn't interested.
"It's your turn. Master Qiao reminded Xia Gui.
Xia Gui replied with an "um" and gently placed his hand on the Black Soul Stone.
