The Soul Incantation Tower
"Do you see that tower over there?
It's called the Soul Incantation Tower. It's a special treasure that's completely composed of Spiritual Energy!
This tower was built by the arcanist ancestors of Broken Rock City after thousands of years of accumulation. It contains an enormous amount of mental strength that can effectively temper an arcanist's mental strength and increase their perception by a lot. "
The silhouette waved his right hand and pointed at the tower of light in the distance. His words were filled with pride.
"Tempering Spiritual Energy and increasing perception?
This Soul Incantation Tower is actually so miraculous. "
As soon as Master Ku Ya's silhouette spoke, it immediately caused quite a commotion on the platform. Many arcanists were secretly shocked.
Even Zhuowen's eyes flickered as he clicked his tongue. Everyone knew how difficult it was to increase an arcanist's Spiritual Energy. They might be stuck for years, decades, or even their entire lives. This kind of bottleneck was even more difficult than a cultivator's bottleneck.
As for the way to continue improving one's mental strength, it required a strong perception. The stronger one's perception was, the faster one's mental strength would improve. Correspondingly, one's cultivation speed would also be much faster. However, perception was innate and could not be changed.
However, this so-called Soul Incantation Tower could actually increase one's perception. This naturally caused these arcanists to be overjoyed.
"However, there's a powerful restriction outside the Soul Incantation Tower. This restriction is strong enough to withstand the full force attack of an Ultimate Emperor Realm expert. It's basically impossible for you to break through it!
If you want to break through this restriction, you'll need a high quality Seal Shattering Crystal!
So, if you can't refine a high quality Seal Shattering Crystal, then you won't have the chance to enter the Soul Incantation Tower! "
The silhouette paused when he reached this point. He scanned the crowd and continued, "The third trial is to break through the Soul Incantation Tower. There are nine floors in the Soul Incantation Tower, and each floor has a corresponding Spiritual Energy pressure. The higher you go, the stronger the pressure!
The Arcana Ceremony's final reward, the Grade Four Origin Array, is placed on the eighth floor. If any of you reach the eighth floor first, you will be the winner of the Arcana Ceremony. The Grade Four Origin Array will naturally belong to that person. "
When the silhouette mentioned the grade-9 origin array, the breathing of the arcanists on the platform quickened. Clearly, the ultimate goal of these arcanists was this grade-9 origin array. Even the arrogant siblings, Su Qi and Su Yang, revealed a trace of desire and greed on their faces.
Those who were able to make it to the top of the Gold stage were naturally elites amongst arcanists. They had a thorough understanding of the might of a Grade 9 origin formation. The Celestial Star Formation that they were competing in this time was a genuine Grade 9 origin formation. The fact that it could create such a small space out of thin air was enough to show how powerful a Grade 9 origin formation was.
"If no one has any objections, the second test will begin now!" The light figure glanced indifferently at the crowd below. After which, he waved his hand and directly said.
Whoosh!
After the light figure finished speaking, the arcanists on the platform quickly chose their own platforms and began to refine the Seal Breaking Crystal …
"Zhuowen, this little fellow, is truly astonishing!
I never expected that he would be able to raise his speed to such an extent at the final juncture. In the last ten breaths, he managed to cross several hundred steps and finally reach the top of the Gold stage! "In the VIP seats, Xuan Ling slowly regained her senses and involuntarily exclaimed.
Even Ouyang Xishui, who was beside Xuan Ling and wanted to see Zhuowen make a fool of himself, still had a trace of shock in her beautiful eyes. She did not know how Zhuowen had done it. In the blink of an eye, Zhuowen had already appeared at the top of the Gold stage.
"How is it that this fellow is always able to do things that others can't even imagine at the final juncture?" Muttering in a low voice, Ouyang Xishui's expression became rather complicated.
"Senior Qiu, the little fellow you brought is not simple.
He actually crossed several hundred steps in ten breaths. This speed is something that even the number one ranked Su Yang could not achieve!
However, it's a pity that Zhuowen's Mental Energy cultivation is a little low. If he also had a third grade Mental Energy, I'm afraid that he would have the strength to contend with Su Yang and the others. "
Ouyang Yuntu's eyes flickered as he spoke to Qiu Chou beside him with a hearty smile on his face.
"It's still too early to make a conclusion. Although this little fellow Zhuowen looks ordinary, if you interact with him for a long time, you will discover that he is truly unfathomable!
Sometimes, even this old man finds it difficult to see through this little fellow! "
Qiu Chou narrowed his eyes. However, his words immediately shocked Ouyang Yuntu and Master Ku Ya, who were beside him.
"Is this child really so special?
Even Senior Qiu cannot see through him? "
Ouyang Yuntu could no longer remain calm. Whether it was strength or prestige, Qiu Chou in front of him was above him. He did not expect Qiu Chou to have such a high evaluation of Zhuowen. This was truly beyond Ouyang Yuntu's expectations.
"Don't underestimate this little fellow. This old man has a feeling that this child is very likely to become the biggest dark horse in this Arcana Ceremony!" A glint flashed in the depths of Qiu Chou's eyes.
"Dark horse?
You guys are too good at deceiving yourselves. That little fellow's Mental Energy is only at Perfect Second Grade. Brother, I'm afraid you're overthinking things if he can become a dark horse with such strength! "
Suddenly, an untimely voice abruptly rang out in the VIP seats, causing Qiu Chou and the others to involuntarily turn their heads to look. They just happened to see Master Huo Yun sitting at the back with a sneer on his face.
"You think I'm overthinking things?" Qiu Chou narrowed his eyes as his tone suddenly became low.
"Isn't that so?
Among the younger generation of your Broken Rock City, only Xue Nai is barely passable. As for the little fellow named Zhuowen you mentioned, he's really too weak. Do you think such a weak little fellow can win the Arcana Ceremony? Don't you see that our An Ding City's Su Yang and Su Qi are both Accomplished Third Grade Arcanists?
With Su Yang and Su Qi's existence, this little fellow can't win the championship. "Master Huo Yun's face was full of mockery.
"You actually dare to be so arrogant in front of me?
Old dog, you're quite happy barking, aren't you? "
Qiu Chou's gaze was slightly cold. Then, the Yuan Energy within his body exploded. Suddenly, the entire VIP seats fell into a sluggish state.
Master Huo Yun was shocked to find that his entire body could not move. An extremely strong pressure was firmly pressing down on his body.
Whoosh!
Qiu Chou's right hand suddenly squeezed. Master Huo Yun's body involuntarily leaned forward and fell at Qiu Chou's feet like a dog eating shit. Naturally, Qiu Chou would not be polite. He lifted his foot and ruthlessly stomped on Master Huo Yun's cheek. He indifferently said, "Old dog!
Try barking a few more times if you have the guts. "
This sudden turn of events caused the entire VIP area to become incomparably silent. Everyone was dumbfounded as they stared at Grandmaster Huo Yun, who was being stepped on by Qiu Chou. They never imagined that Qiu Chou would actually have the guts to directly attack without any hesitation.
However, after the shock, these people's eyes flashed with a trace of joy. After all, they were all people of Broken Rock City. Naturally, they were very unhappy when they saw Master Huo Yun unscrupulously mocking the arcanists of Broken Rock City. Now that Qiu Chou directly attacked, it immediately caused many people to cheer in their hearts.
"Do you know who I am?
I'm the vice president of the Settlement City's Arcane Guild. Don't tell me you want to start a war between our two cities? "
Master Huo Yun immediately roared in anger. However, because his cheek was being stepped on by Qiu Chou, his words were a little unclear.
"Hehe!
You're just a small character. The City Lord of Settlement City will not rashly start a war between two super cities because of you. "
Speaking of this, Qiu Chou unceremoniously kicked Master Huo Yun's cheek, causing his cheek to immediately swell up.
"The City Lord of Settlement City is still that bastard Liu Fan!
If it's still the same, as long as I, Qiu Chou, go over and talk to him, that guy will still give me face! "
Qiu Chou sneered. His movements were not slow as he ruthlessly kicked again, causing Master Huo Yun to grit his teeth and cry out in pain.
Looking at Master Huo Yun who was constantly being trampled by Qiu Chou, Ouyang Yuntu and Master Ku Ya suddenly revealed a gloating smile. They knew Qiu Chou's character better than anyone else. He simply did things his own way and did not stick to a pattern. Qiu Chou was once an existence who even dared to kill the City Lord of a super city.
"From now on, you better watch your mouth. Otherwise, this old man doesn't mind directly kicking you out of the VIP seats!"
After a few more kicks, Qiu Chou's right leg suddenly shot out and landed a kick on Grandmaster Huo Yun's chest. The enormous force immediately caused Grandmaster Huo Yun to fly backwards like a fallen leaf. In the end, Grandmaster Han Yun had to intervene to catch Grandmaster Huo Yun's miserable figure. Otherwise, he would definitely have fallen flat on his back.
"You …" Master Huo Yun covered his extremely swollen cheek. His heart was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. Moreover, he noticed that many people in the seats were looking at him with mocking gazes. This caused Master Huo Yun's anger to reach a peak.
"Don't tell me that the kick just now wasn't heavy enough? Do you still want to kick me a few more times?" Qiu Chou coldly smiled as his eyes were filled with an icy intent.
Hearing this, Master Huo Yun's expression could not help but turn sluggish. His face suddenly turned green. The strength of the person in front of him was simply beyond his expectations. Moreover, Qiu Chou did things without any scruples. Therefore, under Qiu Chou's glare, Master Huo Yun's imposing manner immediately weakened.
"Humph!
Didn't you have a lot of confidence in Zhuowen and think that he will be the dark horse of this Arcane Ceremony?
Why don't we have a bet? "
Master Huo Yun was really unwilling to back down like this. His eyes narrowed as he suddenly thought of an idea.
