Chapter 13: Testing the Innate Talent!
"Everyone take one soul crystal. These primary soul crystals are to be well kept. Before reaching a soul force of 500, this primary soul crystal can be used to check the level of your soul force. Once your soul force passes 500, you will need to get an intermediate soul crystal!" Nie Li said as he distributed the soul crystals to everyone.
Seeing Nie Li passing the soul crystals to them, Wei Nan, Zhu Xiangjun and Zhang Ming revealed terrified expressions.
"How can we take such expensive stuff?" Wei Nan said. One primary soul crystal was worth a thousands demon spirit coins; their living expenses for two years wouldn't even reach that much and Nie Li was actually gifting them such a soul crystal.
"Yeah, we can't accept this!" Zhu Xiangjun quickly added.
Zhang Ming also did the same. They were all commoner students, when had they had such an expensive things before?
"It's given by Nie Li, take it! Unless, you don't consider us as brothers?" Du Ze spoke in a deep voice as he frowned his brows.
Although Du Ze was a commoner, he still had prestige. The trio looked at each other for awhile and nodded their heads. Taking the soul crystals from Nie Li's hand their hearts were filled with gratitude.
"Nie Li, thanks, from now on you will be our boss. If there's anything you need us to do just order us to do it." the trio said. They had already approved of Nie Li in their hearts and decided to follow him.
Hearing the trio's words, Nie Li slightly smiled. Having these brothers, the things Nie Li planed to do would have their workloads reduced by half!
"Du Ze, you'll test first!" Nie Li looked at Du Ze saying "Just do the same thing like what you did during enrolment!"
"Right," Du Ze nodded his head. Lifting the primary soul crystal, he slowly injected his soul force into it. The soul crystal gradually started to shine. Getting brighter and brighter, shining on Du Ze's tender yet slightly matured face, speckles began appearing and dancing around inside the soul crystal. Judging from this level of brightness, there was still quite a distance until reaching 1-star Bronze rank Demon Spiritualist.
The rest swept their gazes across the shining soul crystal and were able to tell the approximate number of speckles of light in the crystal, every single dot represented one soul force point.
"Du Ze, you improved very fast. You already have a soul force of 52!" Lu Piao said excitedly. With a soul force of 52, Du Ze would probably be the first among them to have his soul force reach 100, and become a 1-star Bronze rank Demon Spiritualist.
Du Ze looked at Nie Li. Nie Li was currently concentrating on watching the soul crystal.
In Nie Li's view, the amount of soul force didn't matter, whether it was in the tens or hundreds didn't mean a thing, the most important thing would be the attributes and the form.
Within the soul crystal there were some dots of white light, glittering with reddish grey rays of light occasionally coming together changing into various shapes, just like a cloud.
Seeing this scene, Nie Li showed surprised over his face, and speechlessly said "It's actually Lightning Fire attribute and it's also Heavenly Thundercloud form." No wonder Du Ze's cultivation training speed was so fast. With Heavenly Thundercloud form along with the Lightning Fire attribute simply made a perfect match. It was a pity that in the previous life Du Ze practised the Sacred Flame Inscription Patterns, so upon reaching 1-star gold rank Demon Spiritualist he had already had reached his limit. But in this life, with Nie Li, Du Ze would have great changes.
"Lightning Fire attribute, Heavenly Thundercloud form?" Everyone present was puzzled by what Nie Li had just said.
"In this world, there are no crippled soul realms. Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, azure, and indigo are the seven colour types of soul realm. Each represents a person's unique personality and talents. Due to various reason, some soul realms are more easy to train, but that doesn't mean that red soul realms are crippled. If you find the right cultivation technique to train with, even with a red soul realm, you can also unleash incredibly powerful strength. Those who grade the soul realm into different grades solely according to soul force cultivation are a bunch of amateurs!" Nie Li faintly smiled as he said those things.
Hearing Nie Li's words, Du Ze, Lu Piao and the rest were thunderstruck This was too shocking, since the beginning of Glory City, those Legend rank experts had told them that the soul realms were graded. Orange was stronger than red, yellow was stronger than orange… wasn't he saying that those Legend rank experts were just a bunch of amateurs?
In regards to the understanding on the soul realm, even Legend rank experts were not at the same level as Nie Li. Nie Li could contest against any Legend rank expert in soul realm knowledge, because in his previous life, Nie Li had reached a level above Legend rank; a rank that was unimaginable for them.
Nie Li continued saying, "Once you find a suitable cultivation technique, any colour of soul realm can also reach the Legend rank! Du Ze has a yellow soul realm with Lightning Fire attribute and the Heavenly Thundercloud form. With a suitable cultivation technique, Inscription Patterns and a Heavenly Thunder Demon Beast for his Lightning Fire attribute, his achievements will be shocking. Comparatively, his power would drop if he practiced other things, not to mention his cultivation would progress a lot slower."
Hearing Nie Li's words, Du Ze showed a distress look on his face, and said "Unfortunately, the Lightning Fire cultivation techniques in Glory City are incomplete. Even if they were recorded in ancient books, the language of the words would be from ancient times as well-" Half way through speaking Du Ze suddenly had a thought. Nie Li could even read the Book of Divine Lightning Fire. He looked towards Nie Li with hope filled eyes.
At this moment, Nie Li revealed a smile as though he had a card up his sleeve. He said, "With me here, there is nothing to worry about. It's just Lightning Fire cultivation techniques, nothing too difficult for me. I have with me the 69 strongest Lightning Fire cultivation techniques, which one do you want to practice?"
The Heavenly Scarlet Lightning technique? No, this technique was too overbearing, especially once one's training reached the ending, it could be easy to damage one's meridians. How about the Heavenly Qilin technique? This technique was indeed suitable for Du Ze's physique. This Heavenly Qilin technique didn't have any issue with it but there hadn't been anyone that had tried practising it before, including the creator of this technique. But in Nie Li's view, the first 9 stages of this technique were very safe, and only the last 3 stages would have some difficulties.
The strength of Heavenly Qilin technique needed no mention. Practising it up to the 9th stage would already be shocking and amazing. As for the last 3 stages, that would depend on Du Ze's fate.
"You'll practice the Heavenly Qilin technique, one of the three strongest Lightning Flame cultivation techniques. I will impart you with the chants for the technique and I'll also make a copy of the various martial arts for it in the future!" Nie Li soon imparted the chant for the technique to Du Ze. The Heavenly Qilin technique's chant wasn't too cryptic, so Du Ze remembered it very quickly.
Softly contemplating the chant inwards, Du Ze was extremely shocked by it. The Heavenly Qilin technique was definitely stronger than any other cultivation technique that he had ever seen in the past! Just by chanting it, Du Ze already felt his soul realm frantically surging; his soul force also had obvious signs of strengthening. He had yet to begin training and his soul force had already began to expand and increase!
It was foreseeable that after practising this Heavenly Qilin cultivation technique, Du Ze would have all kinds of leaps and bounds in his soul force!
All this time, Du Ze had been struggling with the bleak fate of his family. His dream was to change the fate of his parents and family, but he clearly knew that this goal was too far away. But at this moment, Du Ze felt that by diligently practising the Heavenly Qilin cultivation technique, all of this wouldn't pose a problem! All of this was given to him by Nie Li!
"I will record for you all the details of the cultivation techniques in a few days!" Nie Li said as he faintly smiled.
Du Ze was filled with gratitude for Nie Li. His eye reddened, and he solemnly said, "The kindness of imparting the Heavenly Qilin technique to me, I appreciate it. If you have anything I could be of help to you in the future, even if it's to hike a mountain of blades or to enter a sea of flames, if I, Du Ze were to slightly hesitate, I'll be willing to die by the curse of the heavens!"
"Don't put it this way, we're good brothers! It's just a cultivation technique!" Nie Li slightly smiled as he patted Du Ze on the back.
To Nie Li, this was just a piece of cultivation technique from his memories, but for Du Ze, its significance was completely different!
At this moment, Lu Piao already couldn't wait anymore from the excitement, and said from the side "You guys talk too mushy, as brothers we should share the blessings and the misfortune together! Nie Li, I'm just a red soul realm, am I also suitable to train my soul force?"
"Of course, everyone can train their soul force, even if they have a red soul realm, except there's a difference in the cultivation technique that is suited for red soul realm!" Nie Li said, smiling.
Lu Piao began injecting his soul force into the soul crystal. Quickly, the soul crystal began to glimmer. A dozen dots of lights carrying a little redness spun within the crystal. The brightness of the glow was smaller than Du Ze's by a lot! Seeing this scene, Lu Piao's face turned red. His soul force was simply too low.
"Red soul realm, with Chaos Attribute and the Scarlet Sun form!" Nie Li frowned his brows for a moment, "Scarlet Sun soul form, although it is considered common, but it is actually associated to the Chaos attribute which is surprisingly rare. There wouldn't be one Chaos attribute in hundreds of thousands of people. Why not practice the Holy Primal Chaos technique?"
"Holy Primal Chaos technique? Is it strong?" Lu Piao asked excitedly, as it sounded powerful from the name itself.
"Of course, the Holy Primal Chaos technique isn't in any way inferior to the Heavenly Qilin technique. And since it doesn't require much practice, only the need to foster the Chaos Qi in your body, it suits you." Nie Li said, laughing, "It will depend on your luck to train to the highest level."
Listening to Nie Li's words, Lu Piao's eyes instantly shined. This piece of cultivation technique was too suitable for him. He chuckled as he said, "I don't need to practice to the highest level, I will be satisfied as long as I can reach 1-star Silver rank Demon Spiritualist."
1-star Silver rank Demon Spiritualist… If the creator of the Holy Primal Chaos technique knew how 'big' Lu Piao's ideals were, the creator would have choked at the thought.
"1-star Silver rank…" Nie Li was speechless. He estimated that before long, Lu Piao would realise how laughable his dream was. While practising the Holy Primal Chaos cultivation technique, it would be impossible to stabilise at the 1-star Silver rank. As the Chaos Qi accumulated in his body, Lu Piao's cultivation would also advance by leaps and bounds, reaching a frightening level!
Nie Li also began to test Wei Nan, Zhu Xiangjun, Zhang Ming and gifted them each with a set of powerful cultivation techniques. Although they couldn't be compared with the Holy Primal Chaos or the Heavenly Qilin technique, they were still cultivation techniques that no other technique in Glory City could be compared to. Not to mention, these cultivation techniques were also the best suited to their aptitudes and soul realms, meaning their future practice would also be more effective!
After waiting until reaching 5-star Bronze rank and finding a suitable Demon Spirit, then their combat capabilities would also rapidly increase!
Glancing at the the piece of soul crystal in his hand, Nie Li prepared to test his own innate talent. Due to various reasons, in his previous life, Nie Li took a lot of detours and the cultivation techniques he practised were very messy. This resulted in him lacking strength at the end of his training. Therefore in this life, he wanted to find the most suitable cultivation technique for himself!
