Chapter 1002 - Anti-Soul Power Plates
Although everyone couldn"t believe their eyes, Roan didn"t think too much about it. Although he received Light Element from Rean when they were cultivating, he wasn"t the one who had Light Element Affinity. Because of that, he always felt that his Soul Power was somewhat around 90% as strong as Rean"s. The numbers just now proved that theory.
Well, the only one calm was Roan anyway.
"Impossible!" Sansa exclaimed as she looked at Rean. She was quite close to the Measurement Formation, so she could feel Rean"s cultivation. He was almost an entire realm below her, so how could his Soul Power be that much higher?
Even Fabio found it impressive. "Quite surprising. Talents like his and his brother aren"t easy to find in a small city like this one. His brother lost to Sansa, but his cultivation is far below hers. Although there are cultivators in the capital stronger than them in Soul Power at the same age, the difference isn"t that big."
Fabio pondered in silence for a bit, thinking about the Royal Family descendants. "I reckon that with their cultivation, age, and Soul Power, they should be around Tivia and Soiz"s level. That"s a pretty high level even in the Royal Family. They don"t match the top ones, but they aren"t that far."
Sure enough, the Realm of G.o.ds was that big. Rean and Roan"s performance could at most surprise Fabio, but that was about it. The kingdom itself had young talents similar or even higher than them. Of course, this was just one kingdom in one "tiny" region of the Realm of G.o.ds. What kind of talents might one find when taking the entire Realm of G.o.ds into consideration?
In the elders" room, people began to wonder... "Just how did Lukimira Sect find these twins?"
Kayla was almost laughing out loud after seeing Rean"s result. However, her Lukimira Sect was still a small one, so she didn"t want to offend the others. She was more than happy enough to have the Royal Family"s word that her sect would be fine if she gained a Divine Vein.
Back in the testing room, Erfalis received a Divine Sense Message from Fabio not too long after. "Continue with the test."
Erfalis quickly recovered and nodded. "Everyone, the time to admire the results is over. If you want, check the rank quickly because we need to continue with the test."
Naturally, everyone looked straight at the scoreboard.
-1st: Rean Larks, Lukimira Sect - 3255 Points.-
-2nd: Sansa Sil, Soul Guild - 2953 Points.-
-3rd: Roan Larks, Lukimira Sect - 2867 Points.-
-4th: Ancel Yubao, Polivas Sect - 2251 Points.-
-5th: Oglico, Vintchi Sect - 2139 Points.-
-6th: Samu Kip, Kip Clan - 1965 Points.-
-7th...
As everyone checked it, Erfalis turned around and ordered his subordinates, telling them, "Take them out."
Immediately, thousands of square-shaped plates appeared all around the testing field. If one looked closely, it would be possible to see they had inscriptions on them, identical ones. One didn"t need to think much to understand that the number of plates matched the number of partic.i.p.ants in the test.
The partic.i.p.ants" attention was caught as they waited for Erfalis to explain what that test was about.
"As you know, the second test is Soul Power Manipulation. Just Soul Power Strength isn"t enough. You need to be able to use it properly." Erfalis then used his own Soul Power to catch a plate. As soon as the Soul Power touched it, the inscriptions activated and tried to drive the Soul Power out. "These plates have anti-Soul Power inscriptions. However, as you can see, I can use Soul Power to keep them in the air."
"This isn"t because my Soul Power is high. Instead, the plates" inscriptions were made to allow Soul Power to flow through opening channels in the plates themselves. The problem is that these channels keep constantly changing, so a point where you were using your Soul Power a second ago might be completely different the next second."
Erfalis continued, "As you can imagine, all the Soul Power used outside these channels is nothing but a waste. It will make you become tired quicker as well. The objective here is to find those channels and redirect your Soul Power into them until they close and new ones appear. Obviously, after they close, you need to find new ones to keep the plate afloat."
"Don"t worry, each plate will always have at least two channels open at a time, so the plate won"t fall as long as your Soul Power is flowing inside. Of course, if you take too long to find the new ones or to redirect your Soul Power properly without touching the anti-Soul Power Runes, they will fall. Another thing. The speed at which the channels change will increase every minute. Obviously, they won"t change all at once but randomly. If you can"t keep up with the changes, it will fall eventually. This is an absolute test of control as the Soul Power necessary to keep them afloat is ridiculously low."
Erfalis also warned everyone, "By the way, Divine Energy is useless against these plates. They won"t keep afloat if you use Divine Energy. Only Soul Power works."
With that, Erfalis concluded, "Now them, everyone will receive one of these plates. You have to use your Soul Power to keep them far off the ground. Once I say start the test, you have ten seconds to make them float with your Soul Power. If someone doesn"t start by the time the ten seconds are over, they are automatically disqualified."
Erfalis" subordinates then distributed those plates to the disciples one by one. Finally, everyone had their own plates in hand. "The test starts now!"
As everyone could expect, Rean, Roan, Sansa, Oglico, and all the high-level Soul Power users got their plates floating in just a second. Since Rean and Roan"s Divine Soul Power was also made with Soul Power, the plate accepted it as well. Not that it mattered since their Divine Soul Power"s strength didn"t matter in this test, only their control.
Once all the plates were up in the air, Erfalis mentioned one more thing. "Oh, right! The score is determined by how many minutes you keep them up. Each minute up is worth ten points.. That"s all. Good luck!"
