Chapter 140: A Ten-Year-Old Great Soul Master? No! A Seven-Year-Old Great Soul Master!
At the Youming Duke's Mansion, testing square.
After being informed by the guards, Lin Yu stood at the end of the line for the soul power test.
On the high platform in front, a middle-aged man with a square face and dressed in a black tight uniform was standing. In front of him was a stone platform, and on it, there were several indentations, each holding a different colored crystal. These were the crystals used to test soul power for Soul Warriors, Soul Masters, Great Soul Masters, and Soul Kings.
As the soul masters in the line ahead of Lin Yu finished their tests, the results were being announced by the middle-aged man with the square face.
"Soul Warrior Mu Gou, Martial Soul Meiyu Chicken, 20 years old, soul power level 17, eliminated!"
"Soul Master Xu Lei, Martial Soul Rock Armor Pig, 18 years old, soul power level 22, eliminated!"
"Soul Master Su Ying, Martial Soul Silver Armored Earth Dragon, 16 years old, soul power level 32, passed!"
...
As one by one, the soul masters ahead of Lin Yu finished their tests, and their results were announced by the middle-aged man. Soon, it was Lin Yu's turn.
"These four crystals are for testing Soul Warriors, Soul Masters, Great Soul Masters, and Soul Kings. Depending on your cultivation, you should select the appropriate crystal for the test," the square-faced middle-aged man said as he pointed to the four crystals on the stone platform.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu placed his right hand on the white crystal representing the Great Soul Master level.
He then injected his soul power, which was approximately level 21 or 22, into the crystal.
In an instant, the white crystal shone with a dazzling white light, so bright that it almost covered the entire soul power testing platform.
Seeing this, the square-faced middle-aged man, who was responsible for deciding whether the soul master could join the Youming Duke's Mansion, couldn't help but turn pale in shock.
"What! Level 22 soul power?!"
Although many soul masters from various levels, from Soul Warriors to Soul Kings, had come to the Youming Duke's Mansion hoping to join, there were naturally many Great Soul Masters too.
However, even though Lin Yu had disguised himself as the seemingly much older Ye Liangchen, he still appeared to be about 10 years old at most.
How could a child under ten already be a Great Soul Master? Where did this genius come from?
"Child, show me your hand," the middle-aged man, though still shocked, quickly regained his composure and said to Lin Yu.
Discovering that a child who looked under ten was a Great Soul Master was indeed a shocking revelation.
But there was also another possibility: this young boy could have looked so young due to his youthful appearance.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, the middle-aged man decided to suppress his astonishment and test the boy's bone age.
After Lin Yu extended his hand, the middle-aged man tested Lin Yu's bone age. He was once again shocked to the point of being speechless.
He found that he had clearly underestimated this young boy's potential.
This was not a ten-year-old; his bone age was barely over seven years old!
A seven-year-old Great Soul Master? Was this some kind of joke?!
"Child, summon your martial soul and show your soul rings," the middle-aged man said after his shock subsided. He asked Lin Yu to summon his martial soul and show his soul rings.
For a comprehensive evaluation of a soul master, soul power was only one aspect.
The type and level of the martial soul, as well as the configuration of the soul rings, were also extremely important.
Following the middle-aged man's request, Lin Yu immediately summoned his Twin Eyes martial soul, and two yellow soul rings appeared around him.
Although the first two soul rings of Lin Yu's Twin Eyes martial soul were both 10,000-year soul rings, Lin Yu, being cautious and wanting to keep a low profile in the Youming Duke's Mansion, didn't reveal the 10,000-year soul rings.
Instead, he used the Mirage Dragon Qi from his external soul bone, the Mirage Dragon Pearl, to create two hundred-year soul rings around him.
"Your martial soul is..."
The middle-aged man froze when he saw Lin Yu's two hundred-year soul rings, but he hadn't "summoned" the martial soul. He was about to ask when he suddenly noticed that Lin Yu's eyes seemed to have changed.
"Your eyes?!"
"My martial soul is my eyes," Lin Yu said with a faint smile.
"Eye martial soul?!"
The middle-aged man, hearing Lin Yu's words, couldn't help but reveal a look of disbelief.
Such a martial soul existed?
Suddenly, the middle-aged man recalled something from a previous live broadcast.
The fate child named Huo Yuhao also had an eye martial soul.
And this martial soul seemed to be the body's martial soul.
But Huo Yuhao's eye martial soul was completely useless at the start, with innate soul power only at level one. It was only later, after the sacrifice of the million-year-old Sky Dream Iceworm, that it grew stronger.
But the boy in front of him...
Though he also had an eye martial soul, this was the Twin Eyes martial soul, which should be a positive mutation.
His innate soul power was certainly at level nine, or perhaps even full soul power.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to reach the Great Soul Master rank at the age of seven!
Even if his innate soul power was at full capacity, this boy had surely consumed some kind of mystical spiritual herb, similar to the ones seen in the live broadcast, allowing him to reach the Great Soul Master rank at such a young age.
Regarding eye martial souls, although Huo Yuhao had one, the middle-aged man thought little of it, considering Huo Yuhao's fate was entirely shaped by the sacrifice.
But now, seeing this boy's martial soul, the middle-aged man was somewhat disappointed. Despite still intending to let Lin Yu join the Youming Duke's Mansion, he was internally disappointed.
"What's your name? And what is the name of your martial soul?"
After taking out a stack of forms, the middle-aged man asked in a deep voice.
"My name is Ye Liangchen, and my martial soul is Twin Eyes," Lin Yu replied.
"Ye Liangchen..."
Hearing Lin Yu's answer, the middle-aged man thought for a moment, then quickly wrote something on the form using a quill, and read aloud.
"Ye Liangchen, martial soul Twin Eyes, age seven, soul power level 22, passed!"
A seven-year-old Great Soul Master?!
When the team behind heard that Lin Yu was a seven-year-old Great Soul Master, the entire group, along with many members of the Youming Duke's Mansion, were shocked.
However, Lin Yu simply walked off the platform, indifferent, and moved to the side.
A servant, seeing this, immediately approached with a smiling face and gestured for Lin Yu to follow.
"Hehe, honored guest, please follow me. I'll take you to your residence and introduce you to the Youming Duke's Mansion."
