Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Bronze Palace Artifact Spirit (Please Follow)

Every floor of the Bronze Hall was its own Dimension World, and the fourth floor was the same. Xiao Ye felt the entire world rejecting him.

The gravity increased a hundredfold, making every kidney, every muscle, every drop of blood feel tremendous pressure, as if his body would be crushed at any moment.

The air was like a collection of razor-sharp blades, every breath slicing his lungs to shreds.

Thick, intense soul fluctuations filled the surroundings, emitted by those scarlet eyes, proving that it was a Soul Body.

[True Shield, once activated, granted a shield with ten times one’s own vitality]

[Absolute Damage Reduction, any attack received would be reduced by fifty percent, including physical, mental, magic, law-based, constant star explosion, and cosmic origin-level attacks, etc.]

Xiao Ye immediately activated two Innate Skills, instantly cutting the pressure on his body in half and making him much more comfortable.

Looking up at the pair of colossal scarlet eyes taking up the entire sky, he grew serious, signaling his position, and said,

"I’m a trialist, not an intruder."

"The Bronze Token you mentioned, Senior, should be this black token, right? If this was crafted by you, then returning it to you is simply reuniting it with its owner."

Xiao Ye took out the Bronze Token and tossed it upward. A force caught it, suspending it above the teleportation array.

The scarlet eyes seemed a bit surprised, "So sensible?"

Xiao Ye guessed at the identity of those scarlet eyes—it could be the soul of some big shot from an Emperor Level Medical Family in ancient times, or maybe the Artifact Spirit of this spiritual artifact, the Bronze Hall.

No matter what it was, the soul fluctuations proved it was a Soul Body.

Any Soul Body could be forcibly absorbed by the Rule-level Soul Capturing Pearl. No matter how powerful it was, as long as it wasn’t above Rule Level, which was Emperor Level, as long as it didn’t surpass Emperor Level, there was no escaping the Capturing Pearl’s grasp or absorption.

*Heh, watch me put you in your place.*

Xiao Ye patted his pocket, checked his system space, and his face turned dark as he muttered, "Damn!"

"I gave the Soul Capturing Pearl to Yunxi for safekeeping—it’s not on me!"

"Uh, I’m screwed now."

*This really was a life-or-death crisis.*

Xiao Ye gave an awkward laugh and said, "Senior, since I’ve already returned the Bronze Token, I hope you’ll let me leave now."

"You’re so sensible you’re making this tough for me. I was planning to kill you, you know?" At this, the scarlet eyes narrowed to two slits.

It meant to inspect this human kid’s physique and activated the Eye of Insight: discerning the essence of the world, to confirm again if he was the Medical Daoist Body. If not, it would then decide whether to kill him.

"How is this possible, that kind of fortune!"

It saw on Xiao Ye a radiance of luck that soared to the heavens like a blazing sun, dazzling to behold.

*Most people would be lucky to have their fortune glow at all.*

It was shocked. Such overwhelming fortune—It had never seen anything like it on anyone, not even the Ancestor of the Tang Family Daoist lineage from ancient times, whose luck was not even one-thousandth of this kid’s.

The Tang Family Daoist Ancestor was a peak figure at the pyramid’s summit in ancient times.

"Child of Destiny!" It subconsciously thought, "Only the legendary Child of Destiny could possess fortune like this."

"The Child of Destiny is favored by heaven and earth, cherished by the laws, is the fated child of the universe—almost impossible to kill. Counter-kills in desperation are routine, and even after dying, they resurrect and seek revenge—terrifying indeed."

It changed its mind, giving up the idea of killing Xiao Ye.

In a flash, the hundredfold gravity vanished, everything returned to normal, and all the pressure on Xiao Ye disappeared.

The huge scarlet eyes shimmered and contracted into the form of an old man with white hair, who appeared before Xiao Ye, his eyes shining as he asked,

"Young friend, I just love sensible humans like you. Your personality suits me perfectly."

"Could you tell me if your Beastmaster talent level is Mythical?"

The Child of Destiny also had another trait, a Mythical Talent!

Only one Mythical Level would appear every era.

Xiao Ye was a little surprised, his pupils contracted, but outwardly he remained calm and said, "I do have a Mythical Talent."

*He’d been found out, so there was no need to hide it. The priority now was escaping with his life.*

*Once he left the Bronze Hall and got the Rule-level Soul Capturing Pearl, he could do whatever he wanted with this Soul Body.*

The white-haired old man was shocked—it really was Mythical Level!

To have a Mythical Level talent meant certain strength in the future; right now, it was as if he was facing a future almighty one. The old man put away his arrogance and treated Xiao Ye as an equal, smiling kindly,

"Young friend, don’t be nervous—I won’t lay a hand on you."

Xiao Ye cupped his fists, "Thank you, Senior."

The white-haired old man continued, "Young friend, the Bronze Token was crafted for the Medical Daoist Body, and the Bronze Hall exists solely to find the Medical Daoist Body. If none of you possess this constitution, even if you reach the very last floor—even if you completely clear the challenge—you still won’t get the Emperor Level inheritance."

"I’ve already explained all this to the Qin Family Ancestor. Why did he let you in to try the trial?"

Xiao Ye was stunned. *So the Bronze Hall was for the Medical Daoist Body.*

The beautiful woman cursed, "City Lord Qin probably let us in to try for a way to cure his daughter, hoping we could find a way to fix her constitution—he’s gotten us all killed in the process."

Xiao Ye stayed silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with her. City Lord Qin had personally said only those with the Boundary-Breaking Talisman could leave the Bronze Hall. He’d made this clear to everyone and gave them the choice to quit before entering.

This white-haired old man only showed up because of the Bronze Token and never intended to kill the other trialists.

So, everyone else was undergoing a normal trial, clearing it could still win rewards—in Xiao Ye’s eyes, his danger stemmed purely from having refined the Bronze Token.

*Damn, Mu Family’s young lady wanted to give me a lifesaving item, and it turned out to be a death sentence—a crisis trigger! Was this helping, or screwing someone over?* His face fell.

Remembering the terrifying constitution of the Mu Family’s young lady, Xiao Ye figured it had to be that Calamity Body at work, dragging him into misfortune.

Still, his own luck was so strong it overwhelmed that misfortune, letting him escape the crisis.

The Calamity Body—terrifying as hell!

The white-haired old man tossed the Bronze Token back to Xiao Ye, laughing, "Young friend, if you want to continue the trial, I won’t stop you, but I need to make it clear—even if you pass every test, if you don’t have the Medical Daoist Body, you can’t get the Emperor Level Medical Dao inheritance."

"I’m gifting you this Bronze Token. I’ve also unlocked some of its functions for you, so if you ever want to visit the Bronze Hall again, you’re welcome anytime."

"Also, I hope you might help me search for the Medical Daoist Body."

Xiao Ye caught the Bronze Token, feeling delighted, and asked, "Senior, what exactly are you?"

The old man didn’t hide it, "I am the Artifact Spirit of this Emperor Weapon, the Bronze Hall—basically, the Soul Body of the Bronze Hall."

Xiao Ye was overjoyed and nodded, "So you’re the Artifact Spirit, Senior."

*Great, great, great! As long as it’s a soul body, it works.*

*Xiao Ye came up with a bold idea.*

*Take in this Artifact Spirit and make the Bronze Hall his own.*

*The Medical Dao inheritance—he’d get that, too.*
