Chapter 2924: I Understand!

"Good! Good! Good! I truly did not misjudge you two. Are you convinced now?"

Dongyang the Great Emperor said three consecutive 'goods,' showing his satisfaction with Qin Shitian.

On the Chilian Battlefield, Dongyang the Great Emperor had taken a liking to Qin Shitian at first sight and held him in high regard.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come specifically to watch the entrance examination today.

A mere True Emperor wasn't worth the trouble of a hall master coming to observe.

Xichen the Great Emperor and Linfang the Great Emperor both looked displeased.

These three hall masters were also secretly competing in choosing disciples.

In fact, on the Chilian Battlefield, the performances of Qin Shitian and the other two were almost evenly matched.

But now, the gap had suddenly widened.

Zhou Yu and He Chen had actually performed quite well.

Yet compared to Qin Shitian, the difference was too great.

"Congratulations, Hall Master, on finding an excellent disciple!" Qiyu the Great Emperor stepped forward to offer congratulations.

"Congratulations, Hall Master!"

"Our Ninglan Soul Refining Hall finally has a six-refinement powerhouse! This Qin Shitian has limitless potential!"

...

Other emperors also came forward to offer their congratulations.

Dongyang the Great Emperor was naturally very pleased.

Among the various Soul Refining Halls of the Soul Clan, there was also mutual comparison.

The Soul Refining Halls needed to send geniuses to the clan, so that in the future, those geniuses would give back to the hall.

But the Ninglan Soul Refining Hall rarely produced extraordinary geniuses.

Now that it had one, Dongyang the Great Emperor was naturally very happy.

At this moment, Qin Shitian had also exited the Soul Control Path and came before Dongyang the Great Emperor, kneeling: "Disciple begs forgiveness from Master—I was only one step away from entering the seventh stage! Unfortunately, I fell short at the last moment!"

He was certainly not asking for forgiveness; he was just showing off, telling everyone that he was one step away from the seventh stage!

Qin Shitian did not know what modesty meant.

Sure enough, many people wished they could find a hole to crawl into upon hearing this, especially Zhou Yu and the other.

If you, at the peak of the sixth stage, are begging forgiveness, then shouldn't we just kill ourselves?

Dongyang the Great Emperor smiled and said, "Rise. You've done very well! Having reached this point, your six-refinement soul body is already perfected. After a tempering in the Soul Refining Furnace, you can enter the seven-refinement realm! In the future, when you enter the clan, that will be the time for you to soar!"

As he spoke, Dongyang the Great Emperor waved his hand casually, and a powerful soul force directly struck into Qin Shitian's soul body.

Qin Shitian's soul body immediately returned to its peak state.

Qin Shitian was also stirred with excitement by Dongyang the Great Emperor's words.

The Soul Clan was a sacred place in his heart!

"Eh? That Ye Yuan has actually entered the third stage!" Just then, someone said, breaking the cheerful atmosphere.

Everyone was startled and turned to look, indeed finding that Ye Yuan had entered the third stage.

This guy, without anyone noticing, had actually passed the exam?

Qin Shitian looked and laughed.

"This guy said he'd talk after passing. And now, after all that fuss, he barely made it! I really want to see how he'll show off when he comes out." Qin Shitian said smugly.

His achievement could already grind Ye Yuan into the dirt.

Seeing how difficult every step was for Ye Yuan, the third stage was already his limit.

The humiliation you brought me, I will make you pay back double!

At this moment, he was already scheming how to humiliate Ye Yuan.

"Heh, Brother Qin, why bother with a waste? You are the true favored son of heaven!"

"Just a clown, not even fit to polish Brother Qin's shoes!"

"Truly a useless waste, struggling even to enter the third stage! With such little ability, how dare he be arrogant!"

...

With Qin Shitian's meteoric rise, naturally many came to curry favor.

From now on, everyone would be members of the Soul Refining Hall, and latching onto this big shot could bring many benefits.

Jiang Hao also laughed derisively: "So this is what you call insight? Good! Truly good! This kid has little skill but immense talent for showing off! I'm afraid even Qin Shitian is far inferior to him."

Yan Yuzhen's face darkened, not knowing what to say.

He felt that Ye Yuan should be more than this, but Ye Yuan's performance was right there, and he couldn't refute it.

Ye Yuan, however, was not too self-aware; he was now in his element.

Since the Soul Control Path had no time limit, he could fully use these soul attacks to temper his soul body.

After passing the second stage, Ye Yuan's soul body had reached the mid three-refinement stage.

Now in the third stage, the difficulty had increased by another level.

The tempering effect was even better!

Time passed minute by minute, and Ye Yuan seemed to struggle with every step, yet he never withdrew.

Qin Shitian waited anxiously; he had already prepared a grand move, just waiting for Ye Yuan to come out.

But Ye Yuan simply didn't come out.

Under the soul attacks, Ye Yuan's soul body appeared precarious.

Yet it simply did not dissipate.

Thus, step by step, Ye Yuan approached the fourth stage.

When he stepped into the fourth stage, everyone seemed to feel a pang of discomfort.

How did such a weakling enter the fourth stage?

If persistence worked, wouldn't we have reached the tenth stage long ago?

What a ghost—this guy actually entered the fourth stage.

The fourth stage was already a very good result.

Looking at the entire Soul Refining Hall, those who could enter the fourth stage were also of top-tier talent.

No one had expected Ye Yuan to go this far.

"This kid can really endure! Indeed, the power of the Dao Heart is significant! But that's as far as it goes! The number and power of attacks in the fourth stage are double that of the third stage, and the power is already extremely terrifying! Within a thousand zhang, he will definitely withdraw!" Qin Shitian asserted.

Many geniuses who had passed the fourth stage nodded in agreement.

Many top geniuses had fallen at the fourth stage.

This stage was indeed a watershed.

Passing it was extremely difficult.

Apart from Qin Shitian and the other two, the best result was only the peak of the fourth stage.

Soon, a thousand zhang was reached.

Amidst the turmoil, Ye Yuan crossed the thousand-zhang mark.

Qin Shitian's expression was very unpleasant.

He had been slapped in the face again!

But now that he was riding high, although people found it amusing, they dared not show it.

After all, he was the disciple highly favored by the hall master.

This time, Qin Shitian learned his lesson and kept quiet.

But inwardly, he still sneered.

With this kind of endurance, the only outcome would be to have his soul destroyed by the soul attacks!

No one knew how much time had passed when Ye Yuan arrived at the threshold of the fifth stage.

For some reason, everyone's hearts were in their throats again.

This guy, wobbling and staggering, had actually surpassed everyone except the Chilian Trio!

Unbelievable!

Suddenly, Dongyang the Great Emperor's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed, "Four refinements! I understand! This kid is using the soul attacks to temper his soul body!"
