Supreme Magical Concubine Is Wickedly Strong - Chapter 2
Just as Qiu Nuo was drowning in the memories of the past, a copper bell-like sound suddenly sounded.
“Eh? Haven’t I gone for a nap? Why did this person’s energy suddenly become stronger? Could it be an illusion?”
Qiu Nuo raised her head in astonishment. However, she only saw an elf-like girl the size of two palms floating in front of her.
She was wearing a light lotus-colored dress of good workmanship. Her long, slightly curly, and silver hair covered almost half of her body. Her big and ice-blue eyes blinked, and she circled her body, full of curiosity.
“Who are you?” Qiu Nuo stared at this little human and frowned.
The girl suddenly stopped in mid-air. She stared straight at Qiu Nuo and exclaimed, “Oh my! You can actually see me!”
“Of course! Even though you’re slightly pocket-sized, I’m not blind!” Qiu Nuo said helplessly. “However, what exactly are you? A spirit beast? Or some elf?”
Who knew that the little girl didn’t pay attention to her? She just spun excitedly in the air. “That’s great! You can finally see me!”
“Hello? Can you listen to my words?!”
Qiu Nuo raised her hand and poked the girl’s cheek. Who knew that she actually poked air instead? This girl didn’t have a real body?
“Heh, this is just my projection!” After noticing Qiu Nuo’s action, the little girl laughed and said, “In short, you’re lucky. You were chosen by the master. You will be my new master in the future!”
Qiu Nuo was confused. “What situation is this? Can you say things more clearly?”
The little girl landed lightly on the table in front of Qiu Nuo. She placed both hands on her chin and said, “I’m Xue Ling. I’m a high-level Assisted Life Being. Before my former master passed away, he asked me to stay at a place obediently and wait for his descendant. In the end, I found you.”
Then, Xue Ling pouted her lips. “However, what drove me crazy was that your previous energy was too weak. You actually couldn’t see me at all. In the beginning, I thought that my master had made a mistake! However, thankfully, your energy now is stronger, and it’s actually very strong. It looks like my master was right. Based on your current energy, you can completely inherit the master’s mantle and become a powerful Summoner!”
“Summoner?” Qiu Nuo understood. She felt that a huge advantage had fallen into her lap.
“Then, what’s an Assisted Life Being?” Qiu Nuo asked.
“An Assisted Life Being, as the name implies, is a being that helps with life. No matter if it is collecting intelligence, recording things, or taking care of everything in life, we can do it. Furthermore, I’m a mutated species of an Assisted Life Being. I have an inner body space that can grow. All of my previous master’s wealth is stored in my inner body space!” Xue Ling patted her own chest and said with pride.
“There’s actually such a thing?!” Qiu Nuo exclaimed. In her memory, she didn’t find any information regarding an Assisted Life Being.
“It’s normal that you don’t know. After all, an Assisted Life Being is a species that exists only in God’s Domain.” Xue Ling flew back into the air and winked at her playfully. “Let’s go to my inner body space and see what my master left behind for you!”
As her words fell, Qiu Nuo felt that everything went pitch black before her. After spinning for a while, she appeared in a world in an idyllic setting that was full of greenery.
This looked like a huge valley. It was surrounded by pinnacles. Several waterfalls fell straight down into the valley’s pool, causing waves to splash around.
Flowers of all colors bloomed in the valley. It was picturesque.
There was a series of pavilions at the lowest point of the valley. Interspersed among the pavilions was a conspicuous-looking Black Stone Pagoda. Under the sun’s rays, starlight was reflected from the surface of that stone pagoda. It was unknown what stone material it was made of.
“Do you see that pagoda?” Xue Ling flew to Qiu Nuo’s front and pointed to that conspicuous-looking black pagoda. She smiled and said, “That’s the place where my master kept his treasures. However, you can’t enter yet. When you become a Soul Master one day, you can enter the first level of the black pagoda and choose a treasure. Thereafter, every time you advance to the next level, you can go up another level. When you can reach the top level of the black pagoda, everything from that pagoda will become yours.”
Qiu Nuo counted. There was a total of thirty-six levels in this black pagoda.
However, she clearly remembered that regardless if it was a Soul Master or a Warrior, there were only nine levels. Could it be that there was a higher realm above the nine levels?
“Xue Ling, isn’t your master a Summoner? Why do I have to become a Soul Master to enter the black pagoda?” Qiu Nuo asked.
“Why do you not even know this?” Xue Ling looked at her strangely. “A Summoner must also be a Soul Master. That’s the prerequisite for becoming a Summoner!”
“However, I don’t seem to be able to gather soul power.” Qiu Nuo frowned.
She knew clearly how rare Soul Masters were in this world. Qiu Yue was adopted by the Qiu family because of her gift of a Soul Master.
“You couldn’t gather soul power in the past because your energy was too weak to sense its existence. However, it’s different now. Your energy is very strong. I dare guarantee that even if you become only a Soul Master, you will be the best Soul Master around!”
“Is that so?!”
Qiu Nuo touched her chin. Initially, she was still troubled over how she didn’t have the gift and how she was going to survive in this world.
However, it seemed like God was on her side now.
“Let’s test your gift of soul power first!”
Xue Ling brought Qiu Nuo to a big and empty hall. There was nothing else in the hall aside from a white jade stone counter and a crystal triangular prism placed on top of it.
Qiu Nuo saw this kind of crystal prism before at Wuhun Hall. It seemed to be called a Soul Test Stone, and it was used to determine the level of one’s gift.
There were nine graduations on the crystal prism. Each graduation represented a phase.
The first phase was the lowest, and the ninth phase was the highest. As long as one’s gift could reach the first phase, he or she would be qualified to become a Soul Master.
However, when Qiu Nuo did the test back then, the crystal prism at Wuhun Hall did not react. It was as if her energy didn’t exist at all.
This puzzled the staff of Wuhun Hall back then. He thought that something was wrong with the Soul Test Stone.
It was only later when the doctor discovered that Qiu Nuo had an extremely rare and lousy physique was he enlightened. He thought that Qiu Nuo’s gift was so poor that even the Soul Test Stone couldn’t detect it. As such, that unexplainable strange phenomenon appeared.
“According to reason, in order to become a Soul Master, your gift just needs to reach the first phase. However, if you want to become a Summoner, your gift needs to reach the fifth phase and beyond. Indeed, your energy now is much stronger than before. However, I’m not sure how many phases you’ll reach. As such, we still need to undergo an accurate test to determine your level of gift.”
Xue Ling flew slowly to Qiu Nuo’s front and explained to her.
“Five phases? That’s high!” Qiu Nuo was slightly surprised. She remembered Qiu Yue’s gift was only three phases. However, she was already the most gifted Soul Master in Tianluo City.
“This is considered high?” Xue Ling snorted lightly. “Do you know how many phases my previous master’s gift reached? Nine! You’ll face some difficulties if you want to completely inherit his mantle but can’t reach his level!”
