Chapter 13: Dilemma:
Inside the Spirit Hall of Soto City.
Qin Ming and Ke Lin, led by the Spirit Hall's deacon, met Cardinal Salas.
As soon as they met, before either of them could say a word, Salas snorted coldly and berated him.
"Bishop Ke Lin, you're so generous!
You've made me wait here for so long?
Do you know how much I have to do every day?
Because of you, I've been delayed for so long, and all the affairs of the Spirit Hall have piled up, waiting for me to return.
Do you know the devastating impact this has caused?
If everyone in our Spirit Hall behaved like you, what would we do?"
Hearing Salas's accusation, Ke Lin hurriedly responded.
"Lord Salas, I have my reasons. I didn't mean to delay you..."
"My reasons?
Huh—
hunting a thousand-year-old spirit beast takes a Soul King like you the better part of two weeks?
Are the people of Soto City so useless?"
Salas interrupted Ke Lin before he could finish.
He had already learned from the Spirit Hall deacon about Qin Ming's breakthrough to Soul Master.
After learning this information, Saras had begun to consider suppressing Kelin and stealing his credit.
Seeing Kelin about to speak, Saras snorted again.
"Alright, there's no need to explain.
That person behind you must be Qin Ming, right? Just follow me.
I'll take you back to Spirit City.
Kelin, stay here and reflect on your actions."
Hearing Saras' words, Saras frowned.
"This old man is really here to steal the credit...
But Qin Ming, young man, is not one to forget his loyalty for the sake of profit."
Thinking of what Qin Ming had just said, Saras felt a little relieved.
Seeing this, Qin Ming finally confirmed his previous suspicions.
"Salas is indeed here to steal the credit.
I have to be wary of this old Deng...
But I have to show some of my worth to gain more."
With this thought, Qin Ming stepped forward and cupped his fists towards Saras.
"Qin Ming, greetings to Bishop Sarath."
"Hmm,"
Sarath nodded slightly at Qin Ming.
"Not bad?
You're a promising young man.
Come, I'll take you back to Spirit City now.
We have the continent's best mimicry training ground, the best meditation methods, the most comprehensive texts...
A genius like you was born to belong in our Spirit Hall."
Sarath's attitude towards Qin Ming had become noticeably warmer.
Hearing Sarath's words, Qin Ming spoke again.
"Bishop Sarath, I have successfully broken through to the Soul Master realm, but I haven't tested my soul power yet.
I wonder if I could spare you a moment, Your Excellency?"
Sarath agreed without hesitation.
"It's a piece of cake. Wait here for a moment. Let's test it here,"
Sarath said, turning to the white-clad deacon beside him and ordering him.
"Go, bring me the test crystal ball."
After hearing Sarath's words, the deacon didn't dare to say anything more and hurried out.
A moment later,
the deacon returned to the hall and brought back the test crystal ball.
Seeing this, Qin Ming didn't delay any longer.
He quickly stepped forward and skillfully placed his hand on the crystal ball.
As the test crystal continued to absorb Qin Ming's soul power, a dazzling blue light lit up.
"Level 32 soul power?
How is that possible?
Qin Ming, didn't you just get promoted to Soul Master?" How did you achieve level 32 Spirit Power right after your breakthrough?
Salas looked at Qin Ming and Kelin in astonishment.
As a Soul Sage, he could only tell Qin Ming was a Soul Venerable, but couldn't determine his exact Spirit Power.
Seeing Qin Ming's Spirit Power reach level 32 left him somewhat bewildered.
While Soul Masters can still accumulate Spirit Power when reaching a bottleneck, absorbing Spirit Rings to achieve multiple breakthroughs at once,
according to the information Salas had gathered, Qin Ming had only just reached that level...
Upon learning he had reached level 32 Spirit Power, Qin Ming felt a surge of surprise.
"In the original novel, Tang San, at the age of twelve, absorbed the two-thousand-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider Spirit Ring and broke through to Soul Venerable, only to reach level 32.
I've now caught up with him.
And I've already defined my future path.
My progress will only accelerate!"
Though surprised, Qin Ming didn't forget what was happening.
After briefly calming himself,
he looked at Salas on the stage.
Without hesitation, he summoned his own Martial Spirit.
"Bishop Salas, look." "
As he spoke, Qin Ming pointed to the two bulges on the shoulders of his Fiery Wolf martial spirit.
"The spirit ring that Bishop Colin chose for me is extremely compatible with my martial spirit. It is for this reason that
my martial spirit has shown a tendency to evolve.
When those two new heads grow out, the quality of my martial spirit will definitely become stronger..."
At this time, Salas did not care about maintaining his previous demeanor.
He walked quickly towards Qin Ming, while circulating his soul power to carefully feel Qin Ming's martial spirit.
After a moment.
Salas looked at Colin in surprise, his attitude was no longer as arrogant as before.
"I didn't expect that Bishop Colin had such a deep research on the theory of martial spirits. "
After hearing what Salas said, Kelin straightened his chest and back a little.
Seeing this, Salas thought to himself.
'The fact that Qin Ming's martial soul has evolved cannot be concealed no matter what.
It's a pity that the credit of old Kelin must be reported...'
After cursing in his heart, Salas looked at Qin Ming with a look that was no longer as friendly as before.
However, Salas, who knew Qin Ming's future development potential, did not choose to make things difficult for Qin Ming.
He just said it in a businesslike manner.
"So, the reason why your soul power can reach level 32 is because of the absorption of this soul ring?"
"Yes, Bishop Salas. Qin
Ming nodded and agreed to this matter.
Hearing Qin Ming say this, Ke Lin beside him immediately guessed Qin Ming's thoughts.
'Qin Ming concealed the age of his third spirit ring. It seems that Qin Ming is wary of Sarath.
He probably doesn't intend to share his previously formulated theory on the age of spirit ring absorption with Sarath.
But this is also good. Qin Ming will report this matter personally, and all the credit will be his.
This will be of great help to his future development.'
Thinking of this, Ke Lin lowered his head and put on an honest and obedient appearance.
At this moment, Sarath was a little annoyed.
'I thought I could steal this credit, but I never thought this would happen...
Sigh, I wasted a month of my time.'
Thinking of this, Sarath said impatiently.
'Alright, Qin Ming, just come over.
You're too slow. I will take you back to Wuhun City myself.
His Holiness the Pope wants to see you.'
