Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

It's a kind of burning gas produced by the decomposition of a corpse, also known as 'will-o'-the-wisp'.

Inside the stone tower, Hakurei, who was sorting through the fragments of his Saint Cloth, noticed the unusual activity outside.

He was most skilled at using 'corpse aura', and was naturally very sensitive to this kind of power related to death.

Why did the free phosphorus gas outside suddenly become agitated?

With a hint of doubt, he flashed out of the stone tower and immediately saw Wuxin surrounded by countless phosphorescent flames in the center.

"Did he ignite the free phosphorus in the air?" Bai Li asked, somewhat surprised.

He originally thought that this was because Ye had suddenly become enlightened and understood how to use phosphorus.

Chapter 12 The Test of Becoming an Apprentice

"Stop your inner turmoil, young man!"

"These phosphorescent flames are not a power you can control!"

Bai Li strode forward and raised his right index finger.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Xin and the other person saw that all the burning phosphorescent flames in the air seemed to be summoned by some kind of force, and they all swarmed towards the old man.

Finally, it all disappeared into the tip of the old man's index finger and vanished completely.

Seeing this, Wu Xin quickly dispersed the power of his inner universe in his palm and respectfully greeted, "Greetings, Lord Bai Li!"

"Greetings, Elder!" Rang Ye followed suit.

The old man nodded, his gaze falling on Wuxin, and tentatively asked, "Did someone teach you how to ignite phosphorus gas?"

"no!"

Wu Xin was both amused and exasperated, and said, "I don't understand how these phosphorus gases were ignited. I just tried to materialize my own cosmic power, and they ignited automatically!"

"try?"

Bai Li astutely captured a key word.

"Was that your first attempt at igniting your inner universe?" he asked to confirm further.

"Yes, Lord Hakurei!"

Wu Xin did not hide anything and continued to explain: "Until today, I have finally completed the accumulation and broken through the critical point, activating the sixth sense, the root consciousness."

"Then, under Ye's guidance, I tried to ignite my cosmos and master its power."

"As a result, the situation you just saw occurred."

“That’s right, this is indeed his first time trying to ignite his inner universe!” Ye chimed in.

Upon hearing this, Bai Li fell silent, as if deep in thought. His brows furrowed, and his gaze toward Wu Xin became increasingly complex.

Ye Jian dared not disturb him and simply stood silently to the side.

Wu Xin seemed to have guessed something, and a sense of anticipation arose in his heart. He cast a probing glance at the old man.

In that instant, the old man and the young man met eyes, as if they both understood each other's thoughts, and then immediately looked away.

"Cough-cough-"

Bai Li broke the silence first, coughing twice before instructing Wu Xin, "Show me your cosmic power once more!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Wu Xin agreed without hesitation.

Having found the method, he accelerated the rotation of the three planets this time, drawing out even more cosmic power.

In an instant, a small universe radiating a chilling aura once again materialized in his palm.

This time, he unleashed even more cosmic power, and the aura he emitted was also stronger. Naturally, this stronger cosmic power triggered even more powerful changes than before.

Countless ghostly blue flames appeared out of thin air, denser and larger than before, directly covering an area of ​​nearly ten meters in radius.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them seemed to be engulfed by a dark blue sea of ​​flames.

"really!"

Bai Li, who had already anticipated this outcome, nodded, and then, as before, raised his index finger toward the sky once again.

Immediately afterwards, all the phosphorescent lights seemed to be summoned, transforming into streams of light that converged toward the old man's fingertips before dissipating.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding phosphorescent flames were completely absorbed by the old man.

Seeing this, Wuxin also voluntarily dissipated the power of his manifested microcosm.

"Your talent is quite remarkable; you are well-suited to inherit my power!"

Looking at Wu Xin before him, Bai Li said with a complicated expression, "I'll give you a chance."

"If you can pass my test, I will take you as my disciple and impart all the knowledge I have gained in my life!"

"Please give your orders, sir!" Wu Xin quickly replied, suppressing his joy.

As a veteran of the previous Holy War, Hakurei's strength was naturally extraordinary.

Becoming his disciple and inheriting his unique skills would be of great benefit to him.

Especially since the other party has already acknowledged his talent.

This also subtly pointed Wuxin in the right direction, as only the power to manipulate death was most suitable for him.

Only three people in the entire Sanctuary possess this power: Hakurei of the Altar, Pope Sage, and Manigoldo of Cancer.

Under normal circumstances, none of the three of them would be someone he could easily approach in his current capacity, let alone find them to become his disciples.

But since Bai Li had offered such a rare opportunity, Wu Xin naturally wouldn't let it slip away easily.

Ye was taken aback and quickly said, "Elder, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Li raised his hand to interrupt her, saying seriously, "I know what I'm doing, you don't need to try to persuade me!"

Then, he stared at Wuxin in front of him and said seriously, "Everyone is born different, which leads to differences in the power of each person's inner universe. This is what is called talent."

"Some people may be better at using the power of wind, while others may be better at using the power of fire."

"And your power is better suited to manipulating death."

Then, the old man turned to look at the cliff not far away and continued, "Beneath that cliff, many bones are buried, and at the same time, the resentment of many dead who did not want to enter the Yellow Springs remains."

"The test I'm giving you is to use your inner power to manipulate the remains of the dead."

"If you can control a skeleton to slowly climb up from the bottom of the cliff within a month, then you will have successfully passed the test!"

Upon hearing this, Wuxin hurriedly asked, "Sir, how can one manipulate the remains of the dead using the power of the microcosm?"

Bai Li didn't answer, but turned and left as if he hadn't heard what he said at all.

At that moment, Wuxin immediately understood that this was also part of the test.

Bai Li wouldn't teach him anything; he would have to figure it out on his own and then manipulate the remains of the dead to climb up from the bottom of the cliff. Only then would it be considered a complete test.

"hiss--"

Upon realizing this, Wuxin gasped in shock.

This test is a bit too difficult.

There were absolutely no warnings!

He then turned to Ye beside him for help.

After spending these days together, their relationship wasn't particularly friendly, but it was fairly harmonious.

Don't look at me!

Ye Lianlian waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "I don't know how to use the 'Collected Corpse Qi' technique, so naturally I don't know how to manipulate the remains of the dead."

"I can't help you at all."

"Moreover, the Grand Elder's attitude has already made it clear that he will not allow you to receive any help. Even if I really knew, I would not tell you a single word."

"If you want to pass the Elder's test, you can only rely on your own strength!"

Having said that, she gave Wuxin no chance to argue and turned away without looking back.

"This is really a headache!"

Wu Xin sighed and shook his head, saying, "Forget it, let's get down to the bottom of the cliff first, no matter what!"

To pass the test, he must descend to the bottom of the cliff, where the test begins.

Chapter 13 Testing Strength

Just as Wuxin was walking down the cliff, Bai Li secretly contacted the Sanctuary and told Pope Sage and Sasha, the reincarnation of the goddess, about his test of Wuxin.

"Brother, are you really sure about this?" Saiqi asked again to confirm.

"not yet!"

Bai Li shook his head and replied quietly, "He possesses exceptional talent and an extremely high affinity with the power of death. I can't help but suspect that this is fate's arrangement!"

"This is a disciple bestowed upon me by fate!"

"However, his background is too mysterious, and there is absolutely no trace of it."

"So, I set a test for him."

"If he passes the test, I will accept fate; if he fails, it proves that our destiny is not yet complete!"

"That's good!" Sage breathed a slight sigh of relief.

While Wu Xin's displayed talent certainly shocked him, his mysterious origins still made it difficult for him to be completely at ease.

Sasha, however, showed no concern whatsoever, optimistically stating, "I think this is a good thing."

"The greater his talent, the greater the help he can provide to us in the upcoming holy war!"

"The Holy Land needs power like his!"

To break through to the sixth sense in just three months is truly astonishing.

She had no doubt that Wuxin could reach the next level and enter the realm of the seventh sense.
