Chapter 1657 Let"s see what I can do
Libraia smiled when she saw that. "They took their sweet time to find that out, didn"t they?"
Govin shrugged his shoulders in response. "It"s not like we made it easy to detect either. From the groups who took that path, they were the third ones to perceive how Soul Power Weapons are formed. It"s not that bad."
Libraia agreed with him, saying, "Well, that"s true. Then again, the healing power of that boy is really outstanding. Even that White Scaled Carp, who"s above his realm, was healed in just a few dozen seconds. Truly impressive. Does he match our sect"s healing techniques?"
Iglet pondered over it for a bit. "I believe so. However, I"ve never seen anyone using Light Element for healing, so we"ll have to ask him later. Perhaps it"s possible to control Yang Energy to gather Light Element and use it the same way as he does."
Libraia shook her head after that. "We"ll do it if he completes all twelve tests. Didn"t you see? His brother and even that Minokawa can use the same Light Element skills. I don"t want to scare them away."
Everyone nodded and continued to watch the test.
Be it Rean, Roan, or Kentucky"s group, all of them pa.s.sed through their own share of dangers. There were real near-death situations during the test. Ultimately, they still crossed the entire Soul Land, arriving at what seemed to be a spatial gate. After they pa.s.sed through it, they reappeared in the entrance hall once again.
"Phew..." Rean felt relieved. "Holy s.h.i.t. I don"t want to go back to that place ever again. The challenges there were just too bizarre."
Erla, Min, and Habac nodded vigorously. "Same goes for us."
Roan then contacted Rean through their Soul Connection. "Are you out? If so, help me heal two members of my group."
Rean was taken aback to hear that. Sure, Roan"s healing skill wasn"t as good as Rean"s, but he was definitely much better than any other healer Rean had seen before. The Instant Recovery skill should be enough to heal pretty much anything as long as one wasn"t dead or had their dantian or demon core destroyed. "Is there something you can"t heal with my skill?"
Roan nodded, saying, "We were caught by a Soul Power trap that created some kind of barrier inside one"s meridians. I"m fine since I used my Dark Element to destroy it. The same goes for Krikei since he"s a Spirit. He doesn"t have meridians. However, the other two got their meridians damaged and blocked. It"s directly connected to their dantian and demon core too. If I use my Dark Element, I"m afraid it will be redirected directly into them. Your control over the Purification skill is definitely better than mine."
Rean nodded in response and quickly moved to the area Roan was waiting for. Erla, Min, and Habac didn"t have anything better to do, so they simply tagged along.
Soon, Rean saw that many cultivators and demon beasts around Roan seemed to be suffering on the ground. It was obvious that Roan"s group wasn"t the only one to be caught by the trap. "Was that trap this good?"
Krikei looked at Rean and was immediately surprised at how alike the two looked. "You said you would call for help. It has to be this guy, right? He"s identical to you... except for hair color."
Roan nodded, saying, "His healing skills are better than mine, so let him take a look."
Rean smiled and touched Lita"s shoulder first. Soon after, he used his Divine Sense to check her condition. However, he couldn"t see much. "Oh, I see. It"s a Soul Power attack, so I have to use a Soul Power Scan instead." Rean"s Divine Soul Power then fueled his scan as he looked at Lita"s meridians again. "This..."
Rean got up and narrowed his eyes, muttering, "This is quite complicated..."
It was Roan who was surprised this time. "What did you find out?"
"The things that are blocking and damaging their meridians are indeed made out of Soul Power," Rean explained. "However, they seem to be alive. It"s like they"re worms. I"m afraid that if I use my Purification skill to get rid of them, they will rampage in their bodies. They might really lose their demon core and dantian." It was the first time Rean had seen something like that.
"Have most of the geniuses who take the test die... only the few who pa.s.s can be brought to Jhiod." Rean thought about what the real ident.i.ty of this test was. "The Jhiod Sect isn"t joking about that."
Several of the cultivators and demon beasts went to the Jhiod Sect workers to ask about how they could heal their meridian problem. However, all they heard was that they knew the risks when they entered the test. No one gave them an answer that could help heal those afflicted by the Soul Power Worm Rean found out about.
Lita and Vrie might be suffering, but they still heard Rean"s words. "Can you at least try? If things continue like this, then we"ll seriously lose our dantian and demon core."
Rean then looked at Roan after that, asking, "What about Kentucky and Celis?"
"They"re fine," Roan answered as he pointed in their direction. "The path they took was different, so I don"t think they came across anything like my group did."
Rean looked there and could see that Kentucky and Celis seemed to be resting. Other than that, they didn"t look like they were experiencing any problems. "That"s good then."
Finally, he looked back at Lita and Vrie. "I can try it. However, do you even trust me? As far as I"m concerned, I could simply try to hasten the effects, saying that it was the worms" fault. What if your spirit friend here blamed me later?"
Roan closed his eyes, avoiding any attention. He didn"t know Krikei and the others before the test, so his words didn"t really have much value in this situation. The only ones who could accept to take the risk were Lita and Vrie.
Krikei knew that they didn"t have another choice anyway. "Don"t worry. I won"t blame you unless I see that you"re purposely trying to make things worse."
Vrie and Lita nodded as well. "The same goes for us. Just do it."
Rean could only agree in the end. "Fine. Let"s see what I can do."
