Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 74

Chapter 74 Soul Luo Palace
Ye Feng almost died in the real mode. How could he not be angry? He slapped Meng Zhongliang fiercely in front of everyone. Even if he was embarrassed, the other party was still unable to kill him. If it was spread to the inner courtyard, he would not be able to explain it.

And Meng Zhongliang did not expect that Ye Feng would actually do this. Wasn’t he afraid that after entering the academy, he would secretly kill him? He could only put the hatred in his heart and wait for him to take revenge in the future.

The second round ended in a farce. Ye Feng saw that the matter was almost over and did not continue to investigate further. However, that did not mean that Ye Feng had forgotten about this matter. As soon as he had the chance, he would kill Meng Zhongliang.

The third round was very special. There was no strength test, no martial skill test, and no soul power test. Even though the first two tests had passed, the last one was still eliminated.

The first test was strength, which was more general. Some people were born with divine power, so they had a lot of advantages. The second test was fighting strength. Those with strong movement skills also had an advantage, or the advantage of strong martial skills was obvious.

However, the last round was the most important. Soul power, how high a person could grow, soul power was very important. The stronger their soul power, the better their perception and future achievements would be.

Hall of Souls. This hall is very special. There are no mechanisms inside. There are a total of five floors. Up until now, no disciples have been able to enter the fifth floor. The best result is the fourth floor.

Mentor Li explained the rules to Ye Feng very clearly on the way. There was a strong pressure of soul power in the Soul Sieve Hall. The higher the level, the more severe the pressure would be. If he could last for ten breaths of time in the second trial, then he would be considered to have passed the trial.

To be able to step into the third floor and last for ten breaths of time, they were all geniuses. As for the fourth floor, in tens of thousands of years, there were only a few dozen of them. However, these dozens of people had become famous figures, and a few of them had been academy masters for several generations.

The palace was very big, so there was no need to enter one by one. Everyone could enter together. It depended on who would support it for longer, and their rankings would also be higher.

Although Ye Feng used the most time in the first trial, everyone knew that the first trial was undoubtedly Ye Feng. Now, it was time for the third trial.

Yi Bu Qiu’s eyes were gloomy and cold. After seeing Ye Feng enter the Soul Spirit Hall, he followed closely behind him. No matter what, he had to win the first place this time, surpassing Ye Feng.

The reason for that was because the Soul Luo Palace tested soul power. No one knew how much their soul power was. Perhaps they would be able to obtain first place even if their Houtian 8th layer soul power was strong. In fact, their Xiantian realm soul power was weak, inferior to the Houtian realm.

The area of the entrance was very large. After thousands of people entered, they could not feel the crowd at all. Immediately, the situation changed. Someone actually covered his head and let out a miserable scream. A vast pressure covered the sky and earth, as if a huge rock was pressing down on everyone’s souls. Ye Feng was the same as well.

Ye Feng was stunned on the spot and carefully felt it. He discovered that there were tiny silver needles inserted into his soul sea, causing his soul to feel extremely painful. This kind of pain was not physical pain, it could not be touched, it could not be seen, it was painful to the bone marrow.

“Ahhhh!!” Finally, someone couldn’t help but run crazily outside the door. If they stayed, their souls would be destroyed and they would be stabbed to death by the silver needle.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people ran out, unable to withstand the pressure of soul power and forced out.

Most of the people who endured were drenched. Only a few of them had no change in expression. Their soul power was relatively strong. Gradually, everyone adapted to the pressure of their soul power and began to walk towards the second floor.

Ye Feng was not in a hurry. He watched as a large number of people entered the second floor. Some immediately ran down after going up, while others continued to go up for more than ten breaths. As long as they stayed on the second floor for ten breaths of time, they would pass the test.

In less than a cup of tea time, the number of people decreased by more than half. A large number of people ran out, some excited, some sad.

Seeing that there weren’t many people left on the first floor, Ye Feng slowly walked towards the second floor. The space on the second floor was relatively much smaller, and there were about a few hundred people inside.

After entering, Ye Feng felt as if his entire body was weighted down. It was as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on him, and he began to pant violently. This kind of power was only pressing down on your soul, making it impossible for others to lift their heads.

Someone was already walking slowly towards the third floor. Those disciples who were unable to enter the third floor hurriedly went downstairs. In any case, they had already passed.

After adapting to the pressure of the second floor, Ye Feng walked towards the door of the third floor. After passing through the steps, Ye Feng stepped into the third floor. There were even fewer people, only a few dozen people, and quite a few Xiantian auras were entrenched here.

Seeing Ye Feng come up, Yi Bu Qiu’s eyes flashed with killing intent. He actually walked towards the fourth floor. Since ancient times, if he could walk up to the fourth floor, he would be nurtured by the academy.

Ye Feng did not care. In his eyes, Yi Bu Qiu was just an ant. If he had the chance, he could crush him at any time. There was no hurry. Ye Feng waited for several dozen breaths on the third floor before he planned to walk towards the fourth floor.

When they reached the third level, they could tell which was stronger and which was weaker. Those Houtian disciples were already at their limits when they reached the third level. It was very difficult for them to move forward. Many of them even bit their lips and bleeded. Some of them were soaked, and their legs began to shake. They were under tremendous pressure.

After a few breaths, Yi Bu Qiu appeared at the entrance of the fourth floor. A strong pressure pounced on his face and he did not step on it.

The other ten Xiantian Realm cultivators all had the intention to compete. Ye Feng had snatched away the limelight several times. Although he did not express any malice, he did not want to miss this opportunity to take the top few places and choose which entrance to join.

Everyone was not anxious. They quietly looked at Yi Bu Qiu. There was only one entrance. If he did not go up, no one else could enter. A gaze swept towards Ye Feng. Ye Feng glanced sideways. The latter nodded and smiled.

“My name is Liu Xueqi. I’m a disciple from a foreign courtyard.” A voice came from Ye Feng’s right side. It was very clear that it was addressed to Ye Feng.

“Ye Feng, disciple of the Open Source Foreign Academy.” Ye Feng cupped his hands. Since the other party didn’t have any malicious intentions, it was better to make a friend than to have an enemy.

From the first time he saw Liu Xueqi, Ye Feng felt that this woman was extraordinary. She was able to produce eight flying dragons, only two of them were inferior to him. This strength was considered outstanding amongst the crowd.

Yi Bu Qiu hesitated for more than a dozen breaths before finally taking the first step and walking up the stairs. There were more than ten people remaining. Ten were at the Xiantian realm, and three were not. They were all at the peak of the Houtian ninth layer. Adding Ye Feng, there were a total of fourteen people.

“Weng!”

Standing in the distance, Ye Feng could also feel a sudden uprising on the third floor. The pressure suddenly increased. Yi Bu Qiu’s body was actually bounced away and landed in the center of the third floor. He could not even go up the steps, let alone the fourth floor.

Seeing Yi Bu Qiu being sent flying, everyone else’s faces revealed shock. They weren’t much stronger than Yi Bu Qiu, and some even retreated to the fourth floor.

In the entire Heavenly Spiritual Academy, only a few dozen people had entered the fourth floor. One could imagine how difficult it was to enter the fourth floor.

However, he definitely wasn’t willing to leave just like that. He walked towards the passageway alone. He planned to try it out. He was also a Xiantian realm cultivator from other outer courtyards. His strength was very good. He had unleashed seven flying dragons. It seemed that he still had some strength left. If Ye Feng hadn’t unleashed ten flying dragons, he definitely wouldn’t have retained it. Since he couldn’t surpass Ye Feng, he hid quite a bit.

Taking a deep breath, he stepped onto the first step. His body shook and he almost flew out. Sweat came out of his body with a whoosh. His expression was a little twisted.

After getting used to it, he took a second step. A terrifying aura covered the sky. Everyone standing in the distance could feel it, but their bodies still swayed, not being sent flying.

He bit his lip and was still three steps away. He planned to charge up in a single breath, as long as he entered the fourth floor, even if it was just a breath of time.

“Cheng cheng!”

He took two consecutive steps, and at this moment, a boundless pressure appeared, sending his body flying. The distance he shot out was even farther than Yi Bu Qiu’s.

This time, many people revealed expressions of shock. The fourth level was actually more than ten times more oppressive than the third level.

Another person walked to the edge of the stairs and stretched out his foot to probe. He shook his head and gave up on his own initiative. He actually walked downstairs and gave up on his own initiative.

Many people went up one after another to try. The best thing was to step onto the fourth staircase. If the last staircase could not be reached, it would be blown away by a boundless pressure.

In the blink of an eye, there were less than five people left. The three Houtian Realm cultivators chose to leave. Only three of the five had yet to experiment. Yi Bu Qiu did not leave. It seemed that they were still unwilling.

“Let me give it a try!” Liu Xueqi said to Ye Feng and walked towards the fourth floor.

One step!

Two steps!

Three steps!

Four steps!

When she reached the fourth step, Liu Xueqi’s body shook and she was not sent flying.

Dong!

The last step was as heavy as a thousand jin. Liu Xueqi’s shadow disappeared from everyone’s sight and entered the fourth floor.

There was also a man on Ye Feng’s left. Seeing Liu Xueqi enter the fourth floor, he followed closely behind and walked towards the fourth floor. He actually went up as well. Ye Feng was the only one present who had yet to go up.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Feng no longer stopped, neither hurriedly nor slowly, he walked step by step towards the stairs.

“Weng!”

Ye Feng’s eardrums trembled. Rumbling could be heard from the steps. The strong pressure could bend his spine. Taking a deep breath, Ye Feng stepped onto the first step.

Seeing that Ye Feng was not ejected and Yi Bu Qiu’s eyes were dripping with blood, Ye Feng clearly suppressed him again.

Ignoring Yi Bu Qiu’s vicious gaze, Ye Feng had already stepped on the fifth step. A powerful impact hit his soul, almost sending him flying.

After taking the final step, Ye Feng’s body appeared on the fourth floor and saw two figures. However, the figures had already twisted and were almost half-kneeling, unable to withstand the pressure of the fourth floor.

A trace of doubt flashed across Liu Xueqi’s face when Ye Feng was able to come up. The other youth also did not believe it. Ye Feng was only at the ninth level of the Houtian realm, yet his soul power was actually so powerful.

Liu Xueqi and the young man’s bodies became more and more bent. They couldn’t bear it any longer. Helplessly, they could only walk towards the third floor. They didn’t dare to imagine the fifth floor. However, when they were about to leave, Ye Feng’s shadow actually appeared on the fifth floor’s steps.
