Legend of the Asura Emperor

It has to be said that the bet between Junhan and Liyu today, even before it has begun, is already making people feel extremely tense.

In this tense yet unusually quiet atmosphere, three minutes flew by.

With a dull, piercing sound of a door opening, a blinding white light emanated from the soul-manipulation chamber. At that moment, within the blinding white light, a black figure slowly emerged.

As the white light dissipated, a young man of about twenty-five years old appeared before everyone.

This young master was dressed in a dark blue brocade robe with scattered flowers, with a purple belt tied around his waist. He had long, flowing hair, delicate eyebrows, and bright eyes, making him look extremely handsome and refined.

Especially the white folding fan in his hand, which had a simple and elegant fragrance.

Upon seeing this young master, Li Yu, who had just been filled with murderous intent and wished he could tear Jun Han to pieces, immediately became respectful with Yi Lei. They stepped forward, cupped their hands, and said, "Li Yu greets the Vice President!"

"Yi Lei greets the Vice President!"

Besides Yi Lei and his companion, the two beautiful girls named Yun Meng and Liu Su, along with the other members of the Soul Master Guild present, all bowed deeply in respect.

From them, Jun Han learned that this seemingly young man was actually the vice president of the Soul Master Guild!

Otherwise, how could two second-tier soul masters be so wary of them?

Jun Han immediately flipped through his memories of this life, and finally, in the section about the Soul Master Guild, he found a bit of memory about this young man.

This handsome and gentle young man was named Murong Ming, and his origins were unknown.

However, he settled in Tianchuan County when he was eighteen years old.

At that time, he had just reached the advanced Soul Mage apprentice level and was not particularly noticeable in the Soul Mage Guild.

However, Murong Ming's talent in soul arts was astonishing. He passed the test for a first-level soul master in just one year, and advanced to a second-level soul master two years later. Now, three years later, he has successfully advanced to the third level. He is a rare soul arts genius in Tianchuan County and even the entire Hanwu Kingdom.

If he continues at this rate of breakthrough, he will definitely be able to become a fourth-tier Soul Master before the age of thirty. In fact, if he has the chance, he might even reach the fifth-tier Soul Master.

Such talent naturally earned him the respect of everyone, and he also became the youngest vice president in the history of the Hanwu Kingdom Soul Mage Guild.

Today's Soul Master test is being conducted by Murong Ming.

While everyone else treated Murong Ming with utmost respect, Jun Han stroked his chin and stared at Murong Ming with the gaze of an elder looking at a junior: "Reaching the third tier of Soul Master at the age of twenty-five is indeed quite a talent in this small Hanwu Kingdom. If I were to give him some guidance, he should have a promising future."

If anyone heard Jun Han's thoughts, they would probably think he was crazy. After all, Murong Ming was the number one genius soul mage in Hanwu Kingdom. Even a fourth-level soul mage wouldn't dare say he was qualified to guide him.

Murong Mingxing's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the crowd outside. He opened his folding fan and said, "No need for formalities. Today is the Soul Master Test, which is held once every three months. Anyone who passes this test will be certified as a first-tier Soul Master. May I ask who is taking the test today?"

Yi Lei smiled and pointed to the two young ladies, Yunmeng and Liusu, behind him, saying, "The two young ladies taking the test here are my two disciples, Yunmeng and Liusu."

Hearing what Yi Lei said, Murong Ming looked at Yun Meng and Liu Su, then nodded slightly and said, "Well, Yun Meng and Liu Su have been advanced soul masters for quite some time now, and their talents are quite good. Their success rate in passing this test should be quite high."

Then Li Yu introduced his two disciples, the two young men standing next to him. The one in the yellow robe was named Chen Feng, and the one in the blue robe was named Fu Quan. Both were advanced alchemy apprentices.

Murong Ming said softly, "Chen Feng and Fu Quan have been at the advanced alchemist apprentice level for quite some time now. I hope you can succeed this time."

"Thank you for your kind words, Vice President."

Encouraged by such a esteemed third-tier soul mage as Murong Ming, Chen Feng and his companion felt a surge of joy.

After saying that, Murong Ming put away his folding fan and continued, "It seems that only the four of you will participate in the test this year. Very well, let's begin the test immediately. Come in with me."

Just as Murong Ming finished speaking and was about to turn around and enter the Soul Technique Room, Li Yu's voice rang out again: "Vice President, please wait a moment. There is actually one more person who will participate in this test today."

Upon hearing Li Yu's voice, Murong Ming stopped in his tracks and asked, "Oh? Who is Master Li referring to?"

Li Yu glanced at Jun Han with hatred in his eyes, and then briefly recounted everything that had just happened to Murong Ming.

Hearing this, Murong Ming looked at Jun Han with a strange expression and said, "Jun Han, are you really going to participate in this Soul Master test? If you lose, you will have to pay a heavy price. As the new Prince, your future is limitless. You should think it over carefully."

Jun Han narrowed his eyes slightly, cupped his hands and chuckled, "Thank you for the reminder, President Murong, but my mind is made up. Li Yu is destined to lose today!"

Murong Ming's expression remained unchanged, still calm and composed: "Oh? I didn't expect you to be so confident? But I wonder if your confidence comes from your own strength or from blind arrogance. Perhaps you're underestimating the tests of our Soul Mage Guild."

Jun Han smiled and said, "There's no use saying more now. We'll know once the test begins."

Seeing Jun Han's somewhat mysterious gaze and confident smile, Murong Ming chuckled helplessly and said to Jun Han, "Since you're so confident, it's fine to let you participate in this test. But I must make it clear beforehand that if you really lose, I will definitely help Master Li Yu seek justice. At that time, once I take action, you'll probably be in deep trouble. For the sake of the former Prince, I'll give you one last chance to choose. Do you still want to participate in the test?"

Although his expression remained unchanged, Murong Ming's tone became somewhat somber, because he had some connection with the Prince in his early years and was now willing to give Jun Han one last chance.

From his words, he had already clearly seen Jun Han's cultivation level. It was not the third level of the Spirit Platform Realm, nor the fifth level of the Spirit Platform Realm, but the absolute peak of the Spirit Platform Realm!

Even so, Murong Ming didn't seem to take it too seriously.

It seems that the peak of the Spirit Platform Realm is nothing in his eyes.

This made Jun Han suddenly realize, when his eyes met those of Murong Ming, that Murong Ming was somewhat extraordinary.

Upon hearing what Murong Ming said, Li Yu smiled. As long as Murong Ming was willing to take action, Jun Han would not only posthumously confer upon Li Ji the title of Commandant of the Army, but would also likely subject him to some punishment!

"I will definitely participate in this test, because there is a free servant waiting for me, haha."

Jun Han nodded, then looked at Li Yu's expression and burst out laughing.

Upon hearing Jun Han's words, Li Yu was even more enraged, wishing he could rush up and kill Jun Han with a single blow.

However, Jun Han's strength was too great, and he could only think, "Your Highness, don't be too smug. This is the Soul Master Guild. If you're too arrogant, even if you're at the Spirit Platform Realm, you won't be able to leave."

"Oh, really? Well, I'd like to see that."

Murong Ming pretended not to see the tension between the two, coughed lightly, and continued to the crowd: "Since Jun Han has decided to participate in this test, the test will begin immediately."

Apart from the people taking the test and the two masters who followed me into the Soul Technique Room, everyone else waited outside and was not to be disturbed.

Otherwise, you will be severely punished! Do you hear me?

Although Murong Ming's tone was calm, it carried a certain domineering air, causing the guards and onlookers to clasp their hands in response, "We will obey President Murong's orders."

And so, led by Murong Ming, Jun Han and the other four walked directly into the Soul Art Chamber. After the heavy metal door closed, the entire Soul Art Chamber came into view.
