Miracle Cube ?

"This is the soul talent test…" Sam thought as he stood before the large stone tablet. 

This stone tablet was similar to the one used to measure strength, but with a tiny change, the color was different. 

The stone tablet to measure strength was a deep obsidian black, but this stone tablet to measure soul force was red, a deep crimson red that was somewhat like fresh blood.

Sam was a junior and had his soul talent and martial talent grades measured as soon as he was born, and both were at medium third grade. 

This talent level was decent; if Sam were born in some other wealthy family, he would have been worthy of raising and cultivating, but it was a pity that he had been born in an average family. 

This medium third-grade soul talent and martial talent were insufficient to make him an exception that was directly added to the line of male family direct descendants.

To a child, between soul talent and martial talent, the cultivation of martial talent was more important, as it directly related to that child's future achievements as a martial artist.

As for soul talent, that wasn't very important. This talent was mainly related to occupations that needed soul force, such as inscription masters, refiners, apothecaries, alchemists, etc. 

Generally speaking, only an outstanding soul talent, such as a superior fourth-grade or fifth-grade, would be worthy of having massive amounts of money the family spends to raise into an inscription master, apothecary, or other niche occupations. 

A decent soul talent and below would be completely neglected.

Sam knew that soul talent was utterly useless in the Physical Transformation Stage. It would gradually become more valuable after reaching Xiantian and cultivating one's soul.

In the Starlight Haven Kingdom, most low-level martial artists and warriors would not use their soul force.

However, some who broke through the Pulse Condensation Stage might begin to practice inscription. 

They would then learn soul law formulas, begin to condense their soul force, see certain things, such as the flow of true essence in treasures, and then be able to define and understand their weaknesses.

Elder Sun suspected that Sam was a genius talent at soul force because of this and brought him here to examine.

"Although you already said that you had your soul talent measured by your family, I think it might be good to measure again just in case. This sort of soul talent thing is usually neglected and most of the time is a formality. Coupled with the fact that stone tablets aren't necessarily accurate, there might be a mistake in the measurement." 

As Elder Sun said this, he placed a small true essence stone in the center of the stone tablet. 

Although it looked somewhat similar, the cost of this small stone was much higher. This small true essence stone was a lavish consumable.

Sam touched the stone tablet and felt the array activate with a flash. 

In the vast ocean of his mind, he suddenly saw countless phantasmal images, a kaleidoscope of world images, and felt a tingling sensation in his innermost soul. 

This feeling continued for several dozen breaths until he heard Elder Sun say, "Measured."

Sam opened his eyes and looked. He saw that the light beam of the stone pillar had risen to the fourth position and overflowed by about one-third. 

Primary fourth-grade talent?

Sam looked a bit listless. He knew that his soul talent had been measured at medium third grade. How could it have randomly increased by so much?

It was just as Elder Sun said: was it a mistake when he had his soul talent measured before?

A sudden thought suddenly rose in Sam's mind.

Is it possible that this talent change was related to the Miracle Cube?

Was it because he had swallowed that soul fragment that his soul talent had risen from medium third-grade to primary fourth-grade?

Sam didn't know anything about souls, but there was one thing he clearly knew. 

In Starlight Spill Continent's knowledge, talent was immutable and unchangeable. This was a fact!

Regardless of how cultivated their martial talent or soul talent, it would never change again after birth. 

No rare material in the world could change one's talent.

The memories he had acquired also did not contain any knowledge of how this could be possible. Sam, however, did not dare to confirm this as true because the recollections were incomplete.

Was it possible that his soul talent had been mismeasured at birth? 

If swallowing souls could increase one's soul talent grade, then if those powerful elders of the Realm of the Gods might do so, would everyone be sixth, seventh, or eighth-grade talents?

As Sam thought this, he subconsciously traced his chest where he could feel the Miracle Cube. 

After the last time he swallowed and absorbed a soul fragment, Sam had been unable to enter the dreamland of the Miracle Cube again.

Although he did not entertain any hope, if he had a future opportunity to absorb a soul fragment again, he would have to measure his soul talent to see if there was no growth.

Elder Sun naturally did not know these circumstances of Sam, and he frowned as he looked at the results of the stone tablet. This primary fourth-grade talent left him feeling unsatisfied.

He originally had a little bit of hope that Sam was a rare soul force talent genius, such as fifth-grade, or even the legendary sixth-grade.

If that were the case, Sam would be sent to study inscription alchemy, and no effort or resources would be spared to raise them. 

When that time comes, the Seven Profound Martial House could raise and cultivate Hen Portia and Sam, two genius martial soul talents, and their Seven Profound Martial House would obtain accolades and praise from the prominent sect. They might even have some hope to get precious medicines or elixirs. But now, that small hope was dashed.

Elder Sun shook his head and sighed lightly with a tiny breath. He told Sam, "Come, I will lead you to receive your rewards."

"These are the Crimson Gold Dragon Marrow Pill and the Golden Snake Scarlet Pill?"

As he returned to his housing at the Seven Profound Martial House, Sam looked at the two pills in the box on the table. His mood was inevitably excited. 

Of these two pills, one was refined from the marrow of a Crimson Gold Dragon and the other with the hundred-year-old gallbladder of a Golden Scarlet Snake. 

The Crimson Gold Dragon was a vicious beast of the fourth-grade. 

Even a Houtian expert would not even be a match for one. As for the hundred-year-old Golden Scarlet Snake, although it was a third-level vicious beast, it lived at the apex of third-level vicious beasts and was also extraordinarily scarce and correspondingly extremely rare.

These two precious pills were objects that had no market price and could not be purchased in the entirety of the Starlight Haven Kingdom. Even the Royal Family would be startled and moved by these!

The Realm of the Gods had unsurpassed inheritances and legacies. Whether it was Body Transformation, martial arts skills, or weapons, every skill and array had already been developed to the peak of possibility. 

It was not something that anything or anyone on the entirety of the Starlight Spill Continent could compare with, and the inscription techniques were also the same.

Inscription techniques in the Realm of the Gods were divided into four general categories: object inscription, medicinal inscription, body inscription, and soul inscription.

Object inscriptions were placed on rare treasures; it was the most simple and obvious.

Medicinal inscriptions were inscriptions for pills, elixirs, and other medicines; it would increase their effect or eliminate their side effects.

Body inscriptions were inscriptions that were placed on the body. It required absolute knowledge and attainments in the inscription to use and could increase the speed of cultivation and practice of a martial artist and even their combat prowess.

Soul inscriptions were inscriptions of the soul. These techniques belonged to inscription techniques' absolute highest boundary and pinnacle realm. Even the elder's memories of soul inscription were blank; perhaps they were incomplete, or he had no experience with them.

Starlight Haven Kingdom'Kingdom'stion techniques were limited to object inscription. The overwhelming number of inscription masters had never given much thought to the idea that inscriptions could be used elsewhere.

With Sam's current skill, he did not need to think about body or soul inscriptions, much less try to attempt them. 

The medicinal inscription might be possible with more study. Still, first of all, Sam had been busy these days with his martial arts cultivation and thus didn't have enough time to pradidn't, and second of all, Sam did not have enough money to buy materials, so he had shelved that idea for future reference.

But now he has obtained the Crimson Gold Dragon Marrow Pill and the Golden Snake Scarlet Pill. 

These two pills were miracle medicines; if he could earnestly study his inscription techniques, he could significantly increase their efficacy.

Suddenly, Sam heard a lightning-like knock on his door. Sam believed that if the Seven Profound Martial House's door quality wasn't so outstanding, it might possibly be smashed apart!
