Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 989 - Write Your Name

Rean looked back at the surprised expressions of Wamil's group before laughing out loud. "Hahaha! We're joking! You don't believe we can really do that much, right?"

Obviously, Wamil's group didn't. "No, but you sure looked confident."

Rean shook his head as he told them, "It's true that we are participating in those categories, but we are only at the Middle Stages of the Soul Transformation Realm. There's a very big gap between us and the top disciples of the major powers that have already reached the Saint Realm."

Casil sighed in the end. "That's true. Well, you still have higher hopes than any of us, so who knows? You might get lucky and fight injured opponents all the way to the top."

Iulia then mentioned, "Oh, talking about lucky, that's how the sect got its Bronze Low-Quality Divine Vein. The other participants got to go all out before the sect's battles and ultimately lost for not being able to continue fighting. Well, the sect also had a Soul Transformation Realm participant at that time."

"What happened to him?" Rean asked.

"Who knows?" Wamil shrugged his shoulders as he answered. "The elders don't seem to like to talk about it, so we don't ask either. Besides, it has been 500 years already. It's not something from our time."

Rean nodded before he turned around to leave. "I'm going to test my Soul Power at the formation back there. See you guys later."

Wamil's group was surprised to find out that Rean had Soul Power. However, since Soul Power was also a side-occupation, they didn't dwell on this fact for long. Instead, they stayed by the board as they talked more about the categories.

Rean quickly arrived at the formation that measured one's Soul Power. Obviously, he wasn't the only one there, as quite a few cultivators stepped on it to check their score. "Oh! There's a ranking board."

1st: Sansa - Soul Guild - 1123 Points.

2nd: Oglico - Vintchi Sect - 998 Points.

3rd: Difran - Ostrao Sect - 996 Points.

4th: Volod - Praler Sect - 981 Points.

5th...

Rean couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "Sure enough, the three top sects are right there on top. However, the Soul Guild is really the best at this category with that girl called Sansa far ahead of the second and below."

Still, a few people close to him heard that. "Brother, you're getting ahead of yourself," a guy who heard Rean's comment could not help but say.

Rean looked at him in response and asked, "How come?"

"I can guarantee that all of them held back when they tested their Soul Power. What's the point of showing your real power before the competition starts later?"

Rean had to admit the guy was right. "Well, that's true." Rean then smiled back at the man and thanked him. "Thank you for the advice, friend."

"No problem. Small fries like us need to help each other. Hahaha!" The guy then extended his hand as he introduced himself, "I'm Trinio, a member of the Pontis Sect."

Rean didn't know how strong that sect was as it was the first time he heard of the name. Still, he shook Trinio's hand back and said, "I'm Rean, a member of the Lukimira Sect."

Following that, Rean decided to try his Soul Power. "Well then, I want to see how strong my Soul Power is, so I'm going ahead."

"Sure." Trinio nodded. "Don't bother if you can't get up to their score. Humans aren't fit for Soul Power to start with. The fact you're cultivating Divine Energy and Soul Power together is already very commendable."

Rean smiled but didn't say anything else.

There were a few formations to test Soul Power. All one had to do was to send their own Soul Power inside the formation, and it would evaluate its strength. It was different from the Soul Measurement Orbs back in the Zasfin Planet, which touched the soul directly to give an absolute number. 'I better not put too much Divine Soul Power inside since this is a mix of Soul Power and Divine Energy. It would be bad if I broke the formation. Besides...' Rean then looked at the ranking board. 'The scoring system of the Realm of Gods is obviously different from the Zasfin Planet. I have no idea what the difference between the 'me' from the Zasfin Planet and the 'me' from the Realm of Gods is.'

No one was paying attention to Rean as participants testing their Soul Power was happening all the time. Rean was happy about that, of course. 'Alright, let's not exaggerate.' Rean then sent his Divine Soul Power inside the formation.

The formation immediately activated once it felt Soul Power, much to Rean's delight. However, there was a small plate that shone in front of the formation first. It had a few words written on it as well.

-Please write a name for the ranking board.-

'Oh! That's right. It doesn't know from where I am. It seems like I don't need to add which sect I'm from either.' Rean then looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him. After pondering a bit, he finally wrote his name...well, not really. Eventually, the formation seemed to absorb Rean's Divine Soul Power and began to calculate his result. Too bad for the others, but Rean immediately retreated before anyone paid much attention that he had even been there. Although a few participants around saw Rean using the formation, they could also see many more in the other formations, so no one cared.

Rean then looked back, knowing that he left the area quick enough...or so he thought.

It was then that someone put a hand on his shoulder and asked, "Hey, brother. I was watching your test. Why did you use a different name?"

Rean bitterly smiled as he looked at the guy. "Oh. Hey, Trinio. Er...ahem! I'm just trying to keep a low profile. That's all."

Trinio was confused when suddenly... ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt - novelenglish.net . bin

*WOW!*

The area went into an uproar. Trinio then looked at the Ranking Board before his mouth twitched.

1st: Jaspion! - 1363 Points.
