"Wang Cai, are you looking for death?"
If it were any other time, Wei Chen would have acted immediately. But this was a crucial period for the selection of outer disciples, and he didn't want to delay important matters.
Wang Cai and his dog could wait until after the outer disciple selection to be dealt with.
"My words are the truth. Your beloved sister is about to marry Song Qingshan. What qualifications do you have to be proud? That bitch Weirou openly protected you before, but once she marries Song Qingshan, we'll settle our scores slowly."
Wang Cai sneered repeatedly, not caring about Wei Chen's threats.
Veins bulged on Wei Chen's forehead, his eyes narrowed into slits, but the cold light flickered a few times before disappearing.
"Looks like Wei Chen has backed down!"
"What a coward!"
"Could it be that he was hit where it hurts?"
A few Registered Disciples mocked Wei Chen freely. At this moment, it was already Wei Chen's turn to take the test.
Sitting at the testing point was an Inner Sect Disciple. The man was extraordinarily burly, sitting there like a mountain. In Cloud Spirit Sect, he was well-known, being the third strongest among the Inner Sect Disciples.
The five Inner Sect Disciples at the testing points were all formidable figures ranked among the top five in the Inner Sect. Their appearance to oversee the tests was a deliberate arrangement by Cloud Spirit Sect to showcase their strength.
Kong Wu—this name was known by almost everyone in Cloud Spirit Sect.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Kong."
"No need for that. Without becoming an outer disciple, you don't have the right to call me senior brother."
Kong Wu was used to this, and Wei Chen smiled, not minding it at all.
"Show your Spirit of the Heroic Soul. Don't think you can fool me here." Kong Wu had a completely businesslike attitude, clearly annoyed at being brought in to conduct the test.
A person focused solely on cultivation had no interest in showcasing their abilities to those Registered Disciples. It was a waste of time!
Wei Chen nodded, while Wang Cai and a few other Registered Disciples wore expressions of amusement.
Even the unfamiliar Registered Disciples behind Wei Chen looked down on him because of his earlier display of submission.
However, in the next moment, those standing behind Wei Chen showed expressions of shock, while Wang Cai and his companions were so astonished that their mouths hung open!
In Wei Chen's palm, a powerful mass of Soul Power was visibly coalescing!
The aura of that Soul Power was undeniably genuine.
Only someone who had condensed their Martial Soul could summon the Soul Power within their body to gather in their palm!
"Is this some kind of joke? That guy has condensed his Martial Soul?" Wang Cai couldn't believe it.
"Alright, let's go meet the elder. Congratulations, junior brother." Kong Wu's attitude towards Wei Chen became much friendlier.
"Thank you, senior brother."
Just as Wei Chen was about to leave, Wang Cai jumped out and shouted loudly, "I report that Wei Chen is faking it!"
"Get lost!"
Without waiting for Wei Chen to say anything, Kong Wu slapped Wang Cai across the face. "Do you doubt my appraisal skills?"
Wei Chen glanced at Wang Cai, silently sneering as he recalled the peculiarities of the Cloud Spirit Sect. He walked into the Cloud Spirit Tower and knelt before the ten elder missionaries.
"Disciple Wei Chen, greetings to all elders." Wei Chen performed his greetings with great courtesy.
"Rise. Show us your Martial Soul; you will cultivate in the lineage that suits you best."
The speaker was Elder Zhao WujI of the Beast Soul Lineage, the most powerful among the ten lineages, who had some connections with Zhao Song. He was unaware of the enmity between Wei Chen and Zhao Song.
Wei Chen immediately activated his Soul Power, condensing it in his palm. The intense aura of lightning above his Soul Power startled all ten elders.
"This must already be at the level of Spirit Realm Four, right? Hehe, what a fine seedling; he will benefit our Wind Thunder Lineage!"
Elder Wei Yunlong of the Wind Thunder Lineage was overjoyed, while Elder Yun Yun of the Flower Soul Lineage also showed a smile, reflecting her fondness for him.
The other elders mostly wore expressions of regret and jealousy.
Only Elder Song He of the Alchemy Path had a gloomy expression, his eyes fixed on Wei Chen with a sinister glint.
Suddenly, Song He turned his face to smile and said loudly, "Elder Wei, we at the Alchemy Path happen to be in need of a Thunder Soul disciple for our alchemical thunder rituals. How about letting this child join me? I will compensate your Wind Thunder Lineage with one hundred Soul Nourishing Pills. What do you think?"
Wei Chen looked up at Song He's seemingly benevolent demeanor and at Elder Wei's surprised expression. A chill ran through him; it felt as if he had fallen into an ice cavern!
Song He was Song Qingshan's grandfather!
Song Qingshan's transformation into a eunuch, along with Wei Chen being killed by Song Qingshan and Zhao Song, was all known to Song He. He had put in tremendous effort to save Song Qingshan, but in the end, it was all in vain.
Song He harbored deep resentment towards the Wei siblings.
When Wei Chen walked in and announced his name, Song He was stunned: wasn't he supposed to be dead? How could he not only be alive but also have condensed the Spirit of Thunder?
Song He understood that with Wei Yunlong taking him into the Wind Thunder Lineage, it would not be easy to kill him in the future.
The price of one hundred Soul Nourishing Pills was indeed quite steep, leaving Song He with no other choice.
Wei Yunlong was clearly taken aback by Song He's bold offer and quickly asked, "Elder Song, are you serious?"
"When have I ever joked around?" Elder Song snorted coldly. His position in the Cloud Spirit Sect was second only to the sect master, and Wei Yunlong's words displeased him.
"Very well, we will leave this child to you Alchemy Path. We of the Wind Thunder Lineage will reluctantly part with him."
Wei Yunlong calculated: with the talent Wei Chen had displayed, he would surely become an Inner Sect Disciple in the future. However, he still fell short of qualifying as a Core Disciple.
Core Disciples of the Cloud Spirit Sect were truly powerful cards; each one was a prodigy with exceptional talent. Parting with a potential Inner Sect Disciple to the Alchemy Path in exchange for one hundred Soul Nourishing Pills was undoubtedly a profitable deal.
Wei Chen felt his heart sink: "If I fall into Song He's hands, I probably won't live for even half a year..."
