Legend of the Asura Emperor

It can be said that only from this level onwards can it be considered a true guild of soul sorcerers.

This second floor is mainly divided into two parts. One is a practice area specifically provided for soul magic apprentices to practice the way of soul magic.

Inside were more than twenty young soul master apprentices practicing various soul arts, including alchemy, weapon crafting, array formation, and beast taming.

The so-called Soul Master Apprentices are those who have mastered the basics of Soul Arts but have not yet reached the first-tier Soul Master level. They are mainly divided into three stages: beginner, intermediate, and advanced.

The two girls Jun Han encountered at Zhang San's stall earlier were advanced soul magic master apprentices. It was from them that Jun Han learned that the Soul Magic Master Guild would be holding a soul magic master test today.

Besides the training ground for soul magic apprentices, there is a huge soul magic room, which is specifically used for testing.

At the entrance to the Soul Arts Chamber stood an elderly man in a green robe, along with two young men and two young women. The two women were the same two girls Jun Han had encountered earlier—one gentle and graceful, the other proud and straightforward, both leaving a deep impression.

"Hey, isn't that Master Li Yu? He suddenly ran downstairs just now, I wonder what happened. And who are those people with him?"

As Jun Han, Li Yu, and many other qualified people stepped onto the second floor of the Soul Spell Master Guild, the gentle woman waiting outside the Soul Spell Room cast a questioning glance at them.

The old man in the green robe's cloudy eyes flickered slightly, and he said softly, "I don't know, but something must have happened."

Just as the group was wondering what was going on, the two girls noticed a familiar face among the crowd.

That familiar face was none other than Jun Han.

The arrogant girl tugged at the gentle girl's sleeve in surprise and said, "Sister, isn't that the guy we met at Zhang San's stall before?"

The gentle young woman nodded slightly, then said softly, "I could tell from the beginning that this person was no ordinary character. Now that he's being surrounded by so many people, his background must be quite impressive. I just don't know what brings him to our Soul Mage Guild, especially since he came up here with Master Li Yu."

The arrogant young woman continued, "When Master Li Yu faced that guy, there seemed to be a hint of hatred in his eyes. He must have a considerable grudge against that guy."

The gentle young woman nodded slightly: "Perhaps. Judging from the situation, quite a few interesting things might happen today."

While the two women were discussing, Jun Han, surrounded by others, arrived at the Soul Art Chamber with Li Yu.

The old man in the green robe asked Li Yu, "Old man Li, why are there so many people with you? Is something wrong?"

After giving Jun Han a disgruntled look, Li Yu briefly recounted what had just happened to the old man in the green robe.

When they heard that the young man being surrounded by the crowd was actually Jun Han, the newly appointed prince of Tianchuan County, who suddenly possessed the cultivation level of the third level of the Spirit Platform Realm, they all showed expressions of surprise!

Although Jun Han was very famous, they had never met this legendary genius.

The gentle young woman chuckled, "So he is the mysterious new prince, the former foolish heir. No wonder he looks a bit different from the others."

The arrogant girl clenched her fists, looking somewhat expectant, and said, "Is he Jun Han? After hearing about him yesterday, I've wanted to spar with him. It's perfect that I'm here today. After the test is over, I'll definitely challenge him to a match! Let's see who's stronger."

The old man in the green robe also showed surprise upon hearing Jun Han's name. Then, a hint of apprehension appeared in his eyes as he thought to himself, "Jun Han clearly said yesterday that he was only at the third level of the Spirit Platform Realm, but judging from the aura emanating from him, he should be at least at the fifth level of the Spirit Platform Realm. This... a sixteen-year-old cultivator is so strong, it's truly astonishing."

As an old man in a green robe at the Spirit Platform Realm, his perception was naturally much stronger than that of others.

After hesitating for a moment, the old man in the green robe smiled and greeted Jun Han, saying, "I am Yi Lei. I have long admired the name of the Prince. Now that I have met you, you are indeed a dragon among men!"

Yi Lei's somewhat ingratiating words surprised everyone present.

In their impression, Yi Lei was a serious old man with an eccentric temper and a cultivation level of the fourth level of the Spirit Platform Realm. Although he was only a second-level Soul Master, he often practiced without giving face to third-level Soul Masters.

But today, he took the initiative to talk to a younger person.

Most importantly, these words also carried an extremely obvious tone of praise and flattery.

Although Jun Han is a prince, his overall status may not be comparable to that of Master Yi Lei.

Therefore, this attempt to curry favor was unbelievable to everyone.

But if they knew that Yi Lei could tell that Jun Han's cultivation level was already above the fifth level of the Spirit Platform Realm, they wouldn't be surprised.

It should be noted that the fifth level of the Spirit Platform Realm is a significant dividing line in the Spirit Platform Realm, and countless cultivators in this realm have been blocked before reaching this dividing line.

Those who can cross this watershed will have a real chance to enter the Nascent Soul Realm in the future!

Anyone would try to curry favor with and build a good relationship with such a future big shot.

"Yi Lei? So you are Master Yi Lei from the Tianchuan County Soul Master Guild, the one with the best chance of becoming a third-tier Soul Master. I've heard so much about you."

Since Yi Lei had taken the initiative to curry favor, Jun Han naturally gave him face and returned the gesture with a smile.

Yi Lei laughed and said, "Your Highness is too kind. It's all just empty praise." After a slight pause, he asked, "By the way, what brings Your Highness to our Soul Mage Guild today?"

Jun Han smiled slightly, then said in a deep voice, "I'm here this time for no other reason than to participate in the Soul Master test!"

"I'm here for no other reason than to take the Soul Master test!"

Jun Han smiled slightly and looked at Yi Lei and the others.

"What? The Prince is going to take the Soul Master test? This..."

Upon hearing what Jun Han said, Master Yi Lei raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised and doubtful.

The people around were also somewhat surprised.

In their minds, Jun Han had suddenly gained a great reputation in martial arts yesterday, but they had never heard of Jun Han knowing the way of soul techniques.

Even if Jun Han understands the way of soul magic, he can't possibly be as good as these soul magic apprentices trained by famous masters.

Even they weren't 100% confident about participating in the Soul Master Test, yet Jun Han had made a special trip to participate. They didn't know if he underestimated the Soul Master Test or the Soul Master Guild, which made them feel contemptuous.

The blue-clad boy standing next to Yi Lei said somewhat displeasedly, "This Jun Han is really a bit arrogant, daring to come and participate in the test in public. If he can't even pass the first test, let's see how he gets out of this mess."

Another young man in white nodded in agreement, saying, "Exactly! He thinks he can show off in our Soul Master Guild just because he has some talent in martial arts. I don't think he knows any soul arts at all. He's just here to die."

The gentle young woman shook her head and smiled, "I don't think so. When Yunmeng and I were at Zhang San's stall before, we ran into Jun Han. He immediately noticed that there was something wrong with the snake orchid we wanted to buy. Now, with his knowledge and understanding of medicinal herbs, he is definitely not an ordinary person. I think he probably knows some soul techniques, but as for the extent, I have no idea."

Upon hearing this, a strange look appeared on the blue-clad youth's face: "Oh, is that so?"

The girl named Yunmeng, who was somewhat arrogant in her words and actions, said, "That's true. My sister Liusu and I were almost cheated by that damned black marketeer. It was Junhan who stepped in and exposed him."

"So it seems that Jun Han does have some skill. However, it's not so easy for him to pass the test of our Soul Mage Guild. I think his level is at most about the same as ours."

The boy in blue continued, and then the four of them stopped talking and watched the situation on the field change.

Jun Han smiled slightly and said, "What? Am I not allowed to participate?"

Yi Lei shook his head: "That's not it... According to the rules of the Soul Master Guild, as long as you are confident that you can pass the test, you can participate in the Soul Master test. It's just that I have never heard of the Prince learning soul arts, so I am a little surprised that he suddenly wants to participate in the Soul Master test today."

After Yi Lei finished speaking, he said no more. Instead, the many soul magic apprentices on the other side of the second floor cast curious glances at him.

"Why are so many people gathered over there? Has something happened?"

"I just went over to inquire and heard that the new prince of that prince's mansion killed Master Li Yu's son, Li Ji, on the first floor. Master Li Yu led people to take revenge, but he did not expect that Jun Han had secret guards to protect him, so he had no hope of revenge."

But at this moment, Jun Han proposed to make a bet with Master Li Yu.

The wager stipulated that Jun Han would participate in the Soul Mage test held by our Soul Mage Guild. If he failed, Li Ji would be posthumously granted the title of Military Commandant. However, if he passed, Master Li Yu would have to swear an oath of inner demons, serving the Prince's mansion like a slave for eternity!

"Holy crap! This Jun Han is really daring, actually daring to gamble with Master Li Yu using such a top-tier official title as Commandant of the Army! Besides Jun Han, I doubt anyone else in the Han Wu Kingdom would dare to do something like this, right?"

"This is just hilarious! Although Jun Han suddenly had an amazing cultivation level of the Spirit Platform Realm yesterday, it was only limited to martial arts."

How could he possibly master the Way of Soul Arts? To think he could pass our Soul Arts Master Guild's test is utterly delusional. I think he's doomed to lose!

In the end, to give a rank like Commandant of the Imperial Guard to a useless, good-for-nothing like him would be a complete disgrace to the Prince's Mansion.

I think so too.

These soul magic apprentices also picked up melon seeds and started discussing among themselves.

In the end, they all came to the same conclusion: Junhan was bound to lose this time!
