Death… And Me Chapter 1000 - Soul Power Strength

Chapter 1000 - Soul Power Strength

Fabio had taken quite an interest in the twins. The reason? Their unusual Light and Dark Elemental Affinities. In the Realm of Gods, odd Elemental Affinities weren't so rare. Just in this assembly alone, there were six of them. Ice instead of water, wood instead of water and earth to create it, and bronze instead of earth.
Fabio had seen many of these odd affinities. However, this was literally the first time he saw affinity towards those two elements. Not only that, but such affinities appeared on twins. On top of that, both of them were performing way above their cultivation level. Since both twins were taking part in this Soul Power competition, he wanted to leave the best for last.
Erfalis then announced, "Alright, Sasvian from the Transfin Union, come forward."
The cultivator, whose name was called, immediately stepped forward. He then put his hands on the formation and sent as much Soul Power inside as he could. Not long after, his name appeared in all the scoreboards, both inside and outside.
-1st: Savian, Transfin Union - 854 Points.-
Sasvian couldn't help but show an excited expression. As mentioned before, Qianbel and Lukimira weren't the only powers using the assembly to set some matters. It was obvious that the result was a very good thing for Sasvian and his Transfin Union. Of course, he was in first place because he was the only one to have tested so far.
"Nira Tuan, River Stream Sect, come forward."
A female cultivator of a race called Yuyay then came out of the crowd and stepped put her hands on the formation. Rean and Roan didn't need to look much to understand that the girl's race was one of those born with Soul Power from the start.
-2nd: Nira Tuan, River Stream Sect - 591 Points.-
Nira, on the other hand, could only sigh after seeing that. Her result wasn't bad, but it was far from enough to cause any ripple in this test.
"Ramil Kikio, Waster Merchant Alliance, come forward."
Once again, another cultivator tried his Soul Power.
-3rd: Ramil Kikio, Water Merchant Alliance - 680 Points.-
And just like that, one participant after another came to test their Soul Power. Another thing Rean noticed was that the results changed a lot from what he saw outside. He had seen many of those names in the ranking board before, but they weren't anywhere near the results they were showing now. 'Trinio was right. Everyone was holding back out there. Oh well, so was I.'
There were a total of 4561 participants in the Soul Power Contest, so it would take some time before everyone was called forward.
Eventually, the test reached the first 1000 participants, and it just so happened to be someone known.
"Difran, Ostrao Sect, come forward."
Rean remembered that cultivator. 'He was in third place before I tested my Soul Power outside. Let's see how much he was holding back.'
Difran had a confident expression as he approached the formation. His hands quickly touched it, and he took a deep breath. His Soul Power flowed into the formation, and Rean could tell that Difran was in a completely different league compared to the others so far.
-1st: Difran, Ostrao Sect - 1756 Points.-
-2nd: Gitila, Rio Mercenary Group - 1193 Points.-
-3rd...
*WOW!*
Sure enough, Difran shot to first place in the scoreboards like a meteor. He completely smashed the second place's score. However, everyone noticed one thing. Erfalis was calling the weaker ones first.
That thought became true as the competition continued. By the time participant number 2000 came forward, Difran was still in first place. However, many cultivators got more than 1000 points. The second place, a girl who was 7th before, got 1702 Points, almost catching up to Difran.
Nevertheless, she wasn't disappointed with that result. After all, this was only the first test. Her confidence was in the Soul Power Manipulation test that would come later.
"Oglico, Vintch Sect, come forward."
Oglico was in second place before, so many paid attention to him too as the number of participants reached close to 3000 tested. Oglico, just like the other top participants before him, was also full of confidence. "First place is mine!"
Soul Power rushed into the formation, making it shine more than any other participant before him. Eventually, the result appeared moments later.
-1st: Oglico, Vintchi Sect - 2139 Points.-
Sure enough, Oglico was also far above others. However, although most of the participants were shocked by that result, there were those who didn't think much about it. One of them was Sansa, the best member of the Soul Guild.
Of course, Erfalis wouldn't stop the competition just because everyone was admiring Oglico's score.
"Next..."
The results quickly escalated, and stronger Soul Power users kept coming out. Surprisingly, Oglico didn't get to keep his 1st place for long. A cultivator no one knew about surpassed his result.
-1st: Ancel Yubao, Polivas Sect - 2251 Points.-
"What?!" Oglico was taken aback. "Who is this guy?!"
Polivas Sect couldn't be said to be a top sect in Cosec City, but they weren't weak either. They were definitely far above average. However, Soul Power wasn't exactly something they excelled at. That's why Ancel's result surprised everyone a lot more than expected.
In the elder's room, the Ancel Sect leader laughed after that. "Hahaha! Did you guys like my surprise? That's right! We were lucky to get a new Soul Power talent. I just didn't expect that this assembly would be the place to reveal him. Soul Power Guild, this competition isn't in your hands yet."
The Soul Guild Leader snorted in response, saying, "Ha! If I were you, I wouldn't celebrate so early."
At the same time, everyone in the contest couldn't help but think, 'Could this Ancel be Jaspion?' That made sense since Ancel hadn't appeared in the Soul Power Ranking before the test. Only Ancel knew that he wasn't him, but he wouldn't tell others that.
The test results kept coming, and it finally surpassed 4000 participants. Rean and Roan were quite surprised that they weren't called forth until now. Even Kilau and Trinio were called ahead already.
As the 4496th participant was called, the most awaited name appeared.
"Sansa Sil, Soul Guild, come forward."
Sansa Sil was first place in the previous rank.. Everyone wanted to see how the best Soul Guild disciple would perform.
