Chapter 24: Soul Power Realm

  The main gate of the royal palace

  In the early morning, there were still very few people on the streets. Wang Shi felt that his field of vision had become even clearer. He could sense any movement from tens of meters away. All of this was thanks to the power of his soul, and his sensitivity had also been enhanced.

  Wang Shi walked towards the main gate of Wang's house, and he didn't go through the side door either.

  The gate of the Wang family is majestic and extraordinary, with two stone lions staring wide-eyed. The gate is tens of meters wide and over ten meters high! The gate is made of a single piece of red wood, thick and simple.

  At the gate stood two soldiers, spirited and energetic, with their heads held high and chests out, their strength was not weak.

  "Who comes here!" a warrior said solemnly.

  Wang Shidao said: "Branch of Wang Shi."

  "Hmph, a branch family member dares to walk through the main gate...? Hmm?" A warrior spoke in great anger, but seemed to have thought of something and his expression changed.

  "Are you Wang Shi?!" another warrior looked at Wang Shi and said.

  Wang Shi nodded.

  "Come in, come in! The chief has personally ordered that you are not to be stopped!" This warrior said with a smile.

  "Thank you." Wang Shi stepped into the gate and turned around to leave.

  "Big brother, is this man Wang Shi?" the warrior asked.

  "It won't be wrong. Fifteen years old, clearing the fifth layer of the Wilderness." The warrior said with certainty.

  "This kid seems to have defeated Wang Hua and looks very formidable, yet he's still so humble, not bad."

  ……….

  The Martial Arts Pavilion can be said to contain the essence of the royal family's martial arts. If anything were to happen here, it would be a heavy blow to the royal family, and they might never recover. Therefore, the Martial Arts Pavilion is also in a core position within the royal family, with heavy troops guarding it!

  Wang Shi saw that the Wujue Pavilion was actually a very small room, only tens of meters wide and long, but the troops here surrounded the Wujue Pavilion, each with strength above the fifth layer of the Pioneer Realm! The Wujue Pavilion instantly became an iron wall.

  "Who?" Only a tall and robust man wearing heavy armor sensed Wang Shi's arrival.

  "Branch King Wang Shi has come to select martial arts techniques." Wang Shi said, he felt the oppressive aura on this tall and majestic man's body, at least with the strength of the 8th layer of the Open Plains Realm!

  A middle-aged man with dark skin looked at Wang Shi with a pair of eyes, and upon hearing this, he suddenly smiled and said: "You're the Wang Shi that Big Brother mentioned? The Wang Shi who defeated my son?"

  Wang Shi was taken aback for a moment. This man turned out to be the brother of the clan leader, and also the father of Wang Zhong and Wang Yu, Wang Tingwu. What a powerful figure!

  "Exactly!" Wang Shi rubbed his nose, looking a bit embarrassed. Would this Wang Tingwu come to bother him?

  "Haha, the kid has guts! Come on in." Wang Shi obviously thought wrong, as Wang Tingwu didn't bother him at all, but instead was very enthusiastic, leaving Wang Shi somewhat unadapted.

  …………..

  Wu Kui Pavilion

  The Wu Kuo Pavilion is very simple, divided into three small rooms. Upon entering, the first room is very small, only accommodating four or five people, with three bookshelves holding books.

  At this time an old man came over, hunchbacked, with dim eyes, leaning on a cane, wearing simple but neat clothes.

  "The books here are low-level martial arts and some popular science books, you should go to the third room to take a look, there should be the martial arts that satisfy you." The old man instructed.

  Wang Shi nodded and said, "I want to read a book here."

  The old man remained silent and nodded slightly.

  ………….

  Wang Shi walked back and forth between the bookshelves, occasionally flipping through martial arts manuals.

  "Geodude's low-level form can evolve into a higher form where both arms turn to stone, increasing its strength several times over, allowing it to break through boulders."

  "Light Step" ordinary low-grade, cultivated into quick steps like flying, body light as a swallow, speed like the wind.

  "Flaming Sun Palm, low-level elementary stage, when cultivated, the palm is like a flame, with great power in one palm."

  ……….

  Wang Shi was speechless. These introductions were exaggerated, weren't they? Who could be that formidable? He thought it was just a temptation for young people and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

  After a while, Wang Shi stopped in his tracks, his eyes lit up, and he picked up a very thick book with the title "Cultivator's Miscellaneous Affairs".

  He wanted to figure out what was going on with his Soul Power and his right eye.

  Wang Shi began to take a closer look. This book is very thick, and the person who wrote it must have had an extraordinary experience. He wrote down all the things and people he encountered during his cultivation process.

  Wang Shi was so vivid that he brightened up at once.

  "It turns out that above the Beast is the Spiritual Beast, which can swallow and spit out colorful clouds, accumulate spiritual energy, and possess strength equivalent to a Condensed Pearl expert! It also possesses considerable wisdom!"

  "This person is really formidable, actually one punch can break mountains and rivers, how frightening!"

  "This martial art is too expensive, it actually costs several million gold coins! High-ranking Xuan-grade!"

  "This person can fly, and at the speed of light!"

  "The alchemists are truly arrogant, relying on their soul power to be comparable to the Condensed Bead Masters!"

  "Huh? Soul power?!" Wang Shi finally saw what he wanted to see and his eyes widened instantly.

  The book says that the soul is a cluster of virtual fire, which can burn all virtual things. Refining elixirs relies on the fire of the soul, so the stronger the fire of the soul, the better the refined medicine. However, the growth of the soul's fire is very slow and is divided into three stages: Mortal Realm, Entering Microcosm Realm, and Ascending to Brilliance Realm.

  The soul force is extremely powerful, even if it's just the first mortal realm, there are also strong people with condensed beads, and only when they reach the mortal realm do their soul forces gradually condense, and their soul power also rises steadily. "This method of enhancing soul force seems to be quite a few." Wang Shi also looked more spirited, this kind of soul force possession is generally something that can't be sought after, it's all a great opportunity.

  "But I have the Stone Beads, and as long as I increase my strength, I should be able to uncover those stone diagrams. Perhaps there's also a way to enhance my Soul Power!" Wang Shi thought to himself as he closed the book. Currently, Wang Shi's Soul Power was only just beginning to develop, and it would take a very long time for him to reach the Mortal Dust Realm. For now, his Soul Power could only help increase his perception, making his senses more acute. However, this was already sufficient for him; there was no shortcut to success."

  "Heh heh, next is choosing a martial art manual, I suppose!" Wang Shi stretched his waist and looked towards the next room.
