In the main hall, the dozen or so children who were originally forced to cultivate by Ji Man suddenly found themselves with free time and began to whisper and talk in twos and threes about Chen Shiyi.
"Hey...! That kid didn't die, huh? Last time during the soul sacrifice, he was struck by lightning like that. I thought he was dead!"
"It's been a long time since I saw him. I thought he was dead."
"He was almost killed by a thunderstorm, but I heard that he was saved by the high priest. I also heard that he was lying at home for a while, almost died, but then didn't die...!"
"Hey...! Do you think he awakened? I didn't see his soul at the altar last time!"
"He definitely didn't awaken. After being struck by the heavenly thunder like that, it's good enough that he survived. How could he possibly awaken...!"
Several children, talking all at once, kept speculating about Chen Shiyi's situation, occasionally stealing glances at Chen Shiyi to confirm their guesses.
Chen Shiyi felt inexplicably tired listening to the children's "secret conversations"!
Self-examination, I haven't really done anything outrageous in the town these years. Why can't these people hope for something good for me?
Upon closer inspection, some of these people have even benefited from my favor. Is it because I shielded them from the Shao Huolie's mockery? Human hearts are truly unpredictable...!
"Silence...!" Ji Man shouted, interrupting the noisy scene in the hall.
The hall, which had just been filled with the sounds of chickens and ducks, instantly fell silent.
Looking at the group of children in the hall, Ji Man shook her head helplessly.
Being ordinary and not knowing how to strengthen oneself, how can one achieve great things? How can people feel at ease entrusting the future to these people from the Xiahou tribe?
Looking at the three of them again, Ji Man's gloomy mood instantly improved, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "Thank goodness there are still these few children, the Xiahou tribe still has hope."
In a gentle tone, he greeted the dozen or so people in the main hall and turned to the three of them, saying, "Let's go, let's go see the clan leader. The clan leader will be thrilled to know that you've woken up. Hahaha!!"
Four people walked away, and only a dozen people in the main hall dared to sneak a glance outside the hall. Looking at the backs of the four people, the eyes of these people were filled with jealousy, resentment, and malice, but there was no sign of self-reflection.
Ji Man brought Chen Shiyi and three others to the Hall of Affairs, where Ji Lie and others were already seated. For some unknown reason, Shao Huolie and several young men from the clan who had reached the Star Meridian Realm were also present in the hall.
When Shao Huolie standing behind Shao Yan saw Chen Shiyi and the others, a hint of severity flashed in his eyes.
Looking at the people in the hall, Chen Shiyi couldn't help but feel puzzled. "Aren't they here to report my situation? Why are there so many people?" Turning to look at the fat man and Ziyu, he looked at them inquiringly, and both of them immediately shrugged and shook their heads, looking equally bewildered.
Four people entered the main hall. Before Ji Lie and the others could speak, Ji Man laughed and said, "Elder, didn't I say it! I said it! I said this kid wouldn't give in so easily. How about that! A few days ago when I went to see him, he was like a dead person, lying in bed without moving. Now he can run around and jump, hahaha...!"
As she spoke, Ji Man intentionally or unintentionally looked at Shao Yan with a smug and mocking expression.
After saying that, Ji Man didn't care whether Chen Shiyi was willing or not. She dragged Chen Shiyi to the center of the hall and said, "Come on, you little brat, throw a few punches for everyone to see, to reassure the clan leader. Haha..."
Chen Shiyi stood in the center of the hall, feeling a bit exasperated, and kept cursing Ji Man under his breath. He forced a smile and nodded to the crowd, but didn't make a move.
Ji Lie looked at Chen Shiyi with a twitching expression as if wanting to punch someone, shook his head helplessly, and said to Ji Man, "We're both adults, why are you still so unruly? Chen Shiyi just woke up, why are you throwing punches."
Then, with hopeful eyes, he looked at Chen Shiyi and said, "Come on...! Chen Shiyi, tell us about your situation."
Chen Shiyi knows in his heart what he wants to understand. He rubbed his cheeks and then said to everyone, "I have awakened my soul...!"
As he spoke, a black lightning flashed across the great hall, and a black spear, about ten feet long, stood upright three feet away from Chen Shiyi.
The swift black lightning, the black long spear that appeared instantly by Chen Shiyi's side, stunned everyone in the hall. No one could see how the black long spear appeared, including Ji Man, who had already reached the sixth realm of the Star Element Realm.
Is this the speed that a newly awakened person should have? If that spear had been aimed at oneself just now, could one have dodged it?
This is the idea of most people in the hall at the moment.
A burst of laughter broke the slightly oppressive silence in the hall.
Ji Man excitedly spun around the black spear and slapped Chen Shiyi on the shoulder, saying, "Good...! Good job, kid. Your summoning speed is three points faster than mine. Nine Star Astrology is indeed powerful. I'll give you three months to break through to the peak of the Star Realm. If you can do it, I will pass on the clan's secret technique, 'Soul Refining Scripture,' to you."
Shocking words...!
The hall fell into a long silence again.
Chen Shiyi looked puzzled! He turned to look at Fatty, Ziyu, and a few other teenagers. Like him, they all looked around in confusion. Obviously, they, like him, knew nothing about the Soul Refining Technique that Ji Man had mentioned.
They don't know the power of the Soul Forging Technique. There are people in the hall who know...!
Standing by Shao Yan's side, Shao Huolie at this moment had a fierce look in his eyes, and his killing intent shot towards Chen Shiyi as if it were substantial. If it weren't for the public setting, no one would doubt that Shao Huolie would immediately rush up and kill Chen Shiyi.
Shao Yan looked at the soul next to Chen Shiyi, his face looking extremely unpleasant. The veins on the back of his hand, gripping the armrest of the grandmaster's chair, were like wriggling green snakes, seemingly wanting to choose someone to devour, with the target being Chen Shiyi in the center of the hall.
Struggling to suppress the killing intent in his heart, Shao Yan glanced sideways at Ji Lie, hoping to see a hint of resistance on Ji Lie's face. However, he found that Ji Lie, who had just been full of spirit, was now actually squinting and dozing off, with even a slight snoring sound.
Obviously, Ji Lie did not stop Ji Man's proposal.
Shao Yan knew that if he didn't step forward at this time, he would probably be named Chen after the Soul Refining Scripture.
If it were just a Soul Refining Scripture, that would be one thing, but the one who refines the soul holds the Hall of Transmission of Power, which has been an unshakable rule of the Xiahou tribe for thousands of years. Ji Man, you've got a good plan...! Wanting this wild child to become an elder of the Xiahou tribe's Hall of Transmission of Power, you'll have to see if I, Shao Yan, agree.
Thinking of this, Shao Yan suddenly slapped the back of his chair, stood up, and said sharply, "Ji Man, the inheritance of the clan's secret arts cannot be decided by you alone. Such an important matter cannot be casually given to anyone. Furthermore... among the children present, who is not as advanced as Chen Shiyi? Even if there is to be an inheritance, it should be passed on to them. How can it be casually given to someone who has just awakened their soul at the age of twelve?"
Immersed in excitement, Ji Man was first stunned to hear Shao Yan's stern shout. He glanced at the somewhat frustrated Shao Yan and ignored him, looking at the closed-eyed Ji Lie, saying, "Elder, do I no longer have the qualification to decide the inheritance of the 'Soul Refining Technique' in the Hall of Transmission of Power? When did the clan change its rules? Why was I not informed...?"
Everyone looked at Ji Lie together...!
The great hall fell silent once again! You could hear a pin drop...!
