Soul power is the fundamental sign that distinguishes the level of a soul master's realm, and it is also the basis for the strength of a soul master's combat power.

Soul masters, beast soul masters, and soul masters use soul power in different ways. Of course, some of them choose to fuse their soul power with the body to strengthen the strength of the body, which is a special type of soul master, also known as the martial soul master;

However, no matter which genre it is, if you want to maximize the effect of soul power, you must use soul skills. The so-called soul technique, as the name suggests, is the technique of using soul power.

Although with the end of the mythological era, many powerful soul skills have also been buried, but after all, there are many soul skills handed down, coupled with the enlightenment of outstanding figures of the human race in the past, there are now thousands of soul skills in circulation.

Of course, this is just a general division, such as some ancient soul skills that were discovered by chance, it is difficult to say what level they belong to, but it is certain that at least they are all heaven-level soul skills, such as the white-haired three thousand zhang is the soul skill of this level, but it has not been handed down, it just exists in legends.

And the three thousand people who are drunk are also soul skills of the same level, although Xia Qingyang doesn't know much about the cultivation of soul masters, he knows a lot about the world of soul masters, especially these anecdotes often pestering his grandfather to tell, so he has heard of these famous stunts that have been passed down through the ages.

"There are ancient soul skills hidden in the brand left by my mother, what does this have to do with her being expelled from the sect?" Xia Qingyang muttered a few words, and said with a wry smile: "If you want to say that my luck is also against the sky, the soul power test has not been carried out yet, and I have obtained two ancient soul skills, but it is a pity that with my realm, I don't know when I will be able to cultivate such a high-level thing." ”

Putting the brand into his arms, Xia Qingyang extinguished the residual fire on the ground, went down the mountain and returned home, and he will have a soul power test tomorrow, so it is better to sleep and recharge.

Early the next morning, the entire Xiajia Town was lively, just like a festival, and there were suddenly many unfamiliar faces on the street, as for the Xia family's house, it was even more lively, and the martial arts arena within a radius of hundreds of meters was full of people, and it was very busy.

A platform was erected in the center of the martial arts arena, on which a rectangular stone tablet was squatted, the whole body was jade white, without any pattern carving, nor any text description, far less exquisite and beautiful than the stone carving lion at the door of the Xia family's house, but it attracted the attention of almost everyone, even those busy people, they also glanced at it from time to time, and their eyes were full of envy and fascination.

Soul Measuring Stone! An indispensable item for almost every family sect in Kyushu, large and small, has only one function, and that is to test a person's soul power value.

The production of soul stones is not complicated, and it can be made by the Immortal Dynasty and the Eight Great Families and even some large sects, but it needs to be used with caution.

This is not because the soul stone is not durable, but because the soul stone needs a lot of soul power to urge every time it is used, if the soul master is reluctant to inject soul power, then it is necessary to use the soul stone to provide soul power, and the soul stone is the universal currency of the entire Eastern Land and Kyushu, although most of them are used in transactions between soul masters, but there is also a general conversion price between gold coins, another common currency, about an ordinary soul stone can be worth a thousand gold coins.

Conducting soul power tests on ordinary people like this is only the most basic test, but for each person tested, it also requires about one soul stone's soul power, that is, a thousand gold coins, which is also a big expense for a family like the Xia family.

That's why they strictly control the number of people who are tested each year, and there are so many people that they really can't afford it.

There are eighteen people who are being tested today, including eight children of the Xia family, and ten people selected from hundreds of villages managed by the Xia family last year.

Xia Qingyang and Xia Qingyou were both among the eight, and Xia Zhenjiang originally planned to let Xia Qinglan participate, but was stopped by Xia He.

Xia He was busy directing the layout of the venue and the reception of guests, just like the head of the family, the leading figures in Xiajia Town received the invitation, and some nearby families who were good friends with the Xia family also sent people to participate, under the guise of Daohe, in fact, it was to explore the reality of the Xia family, and the various family towns naturally competed with each other, whether there are potential and superior descendants is naturally the focus of all parties, because he represents the future of a family.

The auspicious time is approaching, and the guests have almost arrived, and Xia He announces the beginning of the soul power test ceremony. The only three remaining elders of the Xia family who were in charge of presiding over the ceremony were all brothers of the same generation as Xia Zhenjiang, two were nine-star soul masters, and one was an eight-star soul master, because of their age, they had basically lost the opportunity to advance to the elite soul master, but whether it was their identity or realm, they were all top in the Xia family, so Xia He was very respectful.

On this occasion, Xia Zhenjiang was naturally invited out, although Xia He coveted the position of the head of the family, he also knew that before he was promoted, the Xia family still needed an elite soul master like his father.

The Great Elder first stood up and said a polite word, and then the Second Elder presided over the specific test process, and the Second Elder was not the first time to do this errand, he was very proficient, and said to the eighteen children who were ready to be tested: "Presumably you all know the method of the test, I will repeat it here, who will be the turn in a while, go and sit next to the Soul Stone, put your forehead against the Soul Stone, close your eyes and concentrate, concentrate, and keep half a stick of incense for a while, are you clear?"

"Clear. "The method of the soul power test is very simple, everyone has heard and seen it, and the second elder is nothing more than fulfilling the procedure.

The first to be tested was Xia Qingyou, who confidently walked to the side of the soul test stone and sat down, skillfully completing the prescribed actions according to what the second elder said, obviously coming prepared.

The half-pillar incense time seemed a little long, everyone's eyes were staring at the soul stone in the center of the martial arts arena, and after a while, the jade-white soul stone suddenly flickered, which means that the soul power of the person being tested has reached a point, and it is a person with soul power, Xia Qingyang noticed that the tense face of the second uncle Xia He relaxed slightly, obviously, he was also very nervous about his son's situation.

Soon after, the soul stone flashed again, and so on, the half-pillar incense time passed, and the soul stone flashed a total of five times, indicating that Xia Qingyou's initial soul power value reached five points, which was already a very high talent.

Although Xia Qingyou pretended to be calm and walked off the stage, the smug look on his face could not be concealed, and the second elder was also very pleased to see that there was such a brilliant figure among the descendants of the family, and said with a smile: "Qingyou's initial soul power value, placed in any family other than the eight major families, can become a key cultivation object, and our Xia family has not had such a high initial soul power value for a long time." ”

Xia He smiled and said: "Second Elder, don't praise him too much, lest he be proud and complacent, in fact, the initial soul power value of these five points, even in the Eight Great Families, is worth paying attention to." ”

The people who came up to watch the ceremony in Xia Jiazhen, as well as those who were good friends with Xia He or had the intention to be good friends with him, all spoke out to praise him, and this was not a deliberate compliment, in a family like the Xia family, which is basically the lowest level in Eastern Tu Kyushu, it is indeed rare to have a child with an initial soul power value of five points.

Xia Qingyou made a good start, making people look forward to other children, but geniuses are rare after all, among the sixteen people who were tested next, except for a village child who unexpectedly had four initial soul power points, the others were between one and three points, and the genius above six points did not appear after all.

Only Xia Qingyang was left at the scene and did not conduct the test, he raised his eyes and glanced at his grandfather Xia Zhenjiang, and after getting the encouragement of the other party, he walked to the stage, he was not worried that he had no soul power, because he could already practice soul arts, the only thing he was worried about was whether the soul power value could exceed Xia Qingyou, if his initial soul power value was above six points, grandpa's arrangement might be more certain.

Coming to the side of the soul measuring stone, Xia Qingyang could clearly feel the soul power fluctuations coming from the stone tablet, he sat down according to the instructions of the second elder, put his forehead on the soul measuring stone, held his breath and concentrated, put aside distracting thoughts, and completely focused his attention on the soul power fluctuations in the stone tablet.

Time passed, the soul stone did not change in any way, and many people had begun to whisper, although the time for the half-pillar incense had not yet arrived, but the first flash of light that represented a person's soul power still did not appear, later than the previous seventeen people, and even later than the young man who had only a little initial soul power value.

People such as Xia Zhenjiang, the three elders, and some knowledgeable people were still calm, because people's Yuan Soul was the most mysterious and unpredictable, and there was no pattern to follow in the appearance of the initial soul power value, and at the last moment before the end of the test, it was not uncommon for the soul test stone to flicker continuously.

However, as time passed little by little, even Xia Zhenjiang became nervous, Xia Qinglan's face turned pale, her fists clenched tightly, and her palms were full of sweat.

But Xia Qingyang had no way of knowing all this, he first sensed the soul power fluctuation in the soul measuring stone, originally wanted to use it to concentrate, but he didn't want to fall into it directly, it seemed that the whole body and mind fluctuated with that fluctuation, the rhythm was the same, and the strength and weakness were gradually similar.

The time for half a pillar of incense has arrived, and the soul measuring stone still has no response, and the result is already obvious, Xia Qingyang is a person who is born without soul power, and the second elder wanted to call him down, but Xia Zhenjiang insisted on waiting a little longer.

Xia Zhenjiang spoke, and everyone naturally didn't want to say anything, so they waited patiently, and it didn't take long for a miracle to come, but they waited for a bang, and the soul stone on the platform exploded in an instant, shattering into powder, and Xia Qingyang was also overturned by the air current.
