Not long after the ceremony started, some disciples had successfully awakened their Soul Rings. Moreover, those kinds of Soul Skills had an absolute advantage in battle!
Such an opening could be considered a success.
Many disciples on the altar were greatly encouraged. They were looking forward to how many Soul Rings or what kind of soul skills they would awaken in a while.
“It’s not much.”
Li Rui looked down on those Soul Skills. They were not worth mentioning in front of the Soul Skills of a magical beast!
Li Rui raised his head to look at Li Ran, slightly stunned. He had not started yet?
“What is he up to?”
However, in the next second, Li Rui felt relieved.
Li Ran looked left and right before carefully placing his right hand on the stone plate. There was no change at all, not even a trace of white gas.
“That trash, it can’t be that he doesn’t even have Soul Power, right?”
Li Rui could not help but laugh. He no longer paid attention to the situation on the other side. Instead, he focused on his own altar.
Time passed bit by bit.
There were quite a few disciples on the altar who had successfully awakened. There were all sorts of Soul Skills. Among them, someone with five Soul Rings had appeared!
For a moment, the altar shone in all directions. White Mist was dense.
However, there was only one altar that was dim. It was incomparably silent.
The surrounding disciples started to discuss about that altar.
“That’s Li ran, right? Why isn’t there any movement from him?”
“He usually looks sickly, and he might not even possess Soul Power. hahahaha.”
“This trash, he’s always bringing shame to our Pure Wind Clan. If this news spreads to Sifang town, I’m afraid it’ll be treated as a joke by others.”
…
Although the disciples deliberately controlled their voices, they were still heard by the chief, Li Xun, and the other elders. The other elders did not feel anything strange. They had long guessed that this would be the case, and had never held any hope for Li Ran from the very beginning.
On the other hand, Li Xun’s expression changed.. He stared at the thin youth on the altar, and his heart began to waver.
Was that really the case?
Would his son really fail to awaken his Soul Rings?
At this moment, seven-colored multicolored light shot out from Li Rui’s altar!
The moment the phenomenon appeared, the surrounding disciples were shocked. Even the Fifth Elder, who had been in charge of the altar for many years, had a look of envy flash across his eyes. He knew better than most elders what seven-colored multicolored light meant.
“Li Rui’s talent is not bad. In my opinion, there shouldn’t be any problem for him to awaken six Soul Rings!”
One of the elders did not hide his admiration for Li Rui.
The other elders also had looks of admiration on their faces. Among them, the most gratified was the First Elder. He glanced at the chief beside him, whose expression was not very good. While he was happy, he was also a little gloating.
Just as the First Elder was about to speak sarcastically, his eyes suddenly widened and his mouth was wide open. He stared at the altar in a daze.
It was not just the first elder. All the elders and disciples present were so shocked that their faces turned pale.
What… was that?
The altar was filled with light. The rainbow light had transformed into a python that was over a hundred feet long. Under the sunlight, the scattered green scales gave off an icy cold light. The snake’s tongue was gently sticking out as it hissed.
The python that was completely green and black bathed in the rainbow light. Its eyes were sharp as if it was an emperor in the forest, looking down on the masses of grass.
The python coiled above the altar. The light around its body did not dissipate for a long time. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on it, and they did not even dare to breathe loudly. They were afraid of disturbing the youth on the altar.
Li Rui’s forehead was covered in sweat. His hands were placed on top of the grinding jade. There was a very powerful force within it that was pulling him. However, he was unwilling to come out.
After the stalemate lasted for a long time, his heart began to become anxious. He began to pour more Soul Power into it as he roared!
With a bang, a crack actually appeared on the indestructible grinding jade.
A wisp of green light floated out from within and rushed towards the python that was coiled in midair, surrounding it.
“Seven Soul Rings!”
Someone cried out in disbelief.
The green python that had appeared earlier had already exceeded their expectations. Since the establishment of the Wind Pure Clan, there had not been more than five disciples who could awaken a Beast Soul Skill.
Not to mention, it was a 500-year-old green python!
Whether it was the Beast Soul Skill itself or the age of the Soul Ring, both were extremely shocking.
However, the shock brought by all of this was far less than the shock brought by the appearance of seven Soul Rings!
Seven soul rings!
A future Soul Saint!
A future Soul Saint from the Pure Wind Clan?
Everyone stared blankly at Li Rui, unable to say a single word. Even the elders present had expressions of shock and joy on their faces.
How could they not be excited? The Pure Wind Clan had passed down generations after generations. The last time they had nurtured a Soul Saint was a few hundred years ago.
“The younger generation is awesome! I didn’t expect to see the Pure Wind Clan give birth to a Soul Saint before I die!”
An elder sitting next to the chief was so excited that he could not help but cry.
“Soul Saint… It’s rare to even for a disciple in the Divine Sect to awaken seven soul rings, right?”
“Then why are you saying that if news of Junior Brother Li Rui awakening seven Soul Rings were to spread, it would definitely attract the attention of all the great sects in the Yanjiu Prefecture!”
All the disciples’eyes were filled with envy and they sighed from the bottom of their hearts. What happened this day had given them too much of an impact.
Who would have thought that a Soul Saint would be born next to them?
Amidst everyone’s discussions, the light that filled the altar dissipated. The green python had already disappeared from its original spot. Li Rui had a smile on his face as he slowly walked down the altar under everyone’s gaze.
He really enjoyed such gazes. People like him were the focal point of the crowd!
Li Rui looked at the crowd with disdain. The crowd automatically made way for him, as if he was an emperor looking down from above.
“Not bad, not bad. You haven’t let me down!”
The First Elder could not stop smiling as he praised.
“Master taught well. Without Master’s careful guidance, how could I, Li Rui, be here today?”
Hearing Li Rui’s words, the admiration in the eyes of the elders present deepened. At this moment, they were smiling warmly.
“On one hand, it’s because the First Elder taught him well. On the other hand, Li Rui is extremely intelligent. Otherwise, how could he have awakened seven Soul Rings? He’s one of the best among his peers!”
Even the Fourth Elder, who had always been stern in the Pure Wind Clan smiled and said, “What you said is right. It’s rare to be able to awaken seven Soul Rings even in the Divine Sect. Li Rui, your talent is very good. If you cultivate well in the future, your achievements won’t stop there!”
Seeing this, many elders also spoke and praised him.
“Elders, you flatter me. Li Rui is just lucky. My talent is mediocre and I think that I can’t compare to Junior Brother Ran.”
Li Rui smiled innocently and said to the chief, “Junior Brother Ran’s talent is not inferior to anyone else. He will definitely awaken more than seven Soul Rings in a while! Don’t you agree, chief?”
The elders did not say anything. They did not believe that a sickly Li ran would awaken seven soul rings?
What a joke!
Chief Li Xun had a complicated look in his eyes. He was very clear about the intentions of the First Elder and his disciple, Li Rui. They had been looking for an opportunity to impeach him.
However… Li Xun looked at the lonely youth on the altar and began to feel anxious.
Could it be that Li Ran had failed?
