Chapter 707: I

Soul Power is Level 80; compared to other professions, it isn't much stronger. But the soul tier differs, so the same Soul Power yields completely different effects.

It's like a pound of wood and a pound of iron—both weigh a pound. Yet a pound of iron can easily crush a pound of wood.

Now Jiang Chen is in that state; his Soul Power compared to other Level 80 professionals is unknown how many times purer.

Even a newly Divine Level professional can't match Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen's soul tier has reached level 93, placing him in the mid‑Divine Level range.

Soul Power comes like a thief, familiar with the route.

The gate of the Skill Space has long been opened; faced with Jiang Chen's might, it has no defensive power.

Jiang Chen entered this time not to snatch a Skill Star Core, but to look for a Skill Star Core that hasn't been activated or ignited.

Now at Level 80, the remaining Skill Star Cores should be ignited as well.

Jiang Chen also wants to see what his Level 80 skill is like, with a hint of expectation, his Soul Power surged to the deepest part of the Skill Space, "Nothing?"

Jiang Chen found it odd that in the deepest part of the Skill Space, he couldn't locate any unignited Skill Star Core.

Could it be that his Level 80 has no new skill?

That shouldn't be!

The Skill Space isn't large; even a tiny unignited Skill Star Core would be easy to find.

Soul Power spreads like a vast net, layer upon layer, sweeping through without missing any inch of space.

Like flowing water, Soul Power brushed past one glowing Skill Star Core after another, yet yielded nothing.

Jiang Chen grew even more puzzled, as if witnessing something inconceivable.

No skill at Level 80?

His own skill stops here?

Impossible!

Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't believe,

He isn't the type to give up so easily.

The next second, Jiang Chen realized he felt a suppressing force. Something seemed to be shielding his perception.

Especially now, right after leveling up, his Soul Power surged, the soul's touch became extremely keen, and he clearly sensed the suppressing power.

The suppressing feeling is unpleasant, clouding him.

Jiang Chen began a new round of searching, more meticulous than before.

Soul Power continuously searched the Skill Space, strand by strand, leaving no trace unnoticed.

Jiang Chen sat suspended in mid‑air, silent and motionless. The upgrade glow on his body had long vanished, yet he remained still. Days passed, and Jiang Chen sat there for five days straight.

The Undead Legion, the most loyal guard, formed a defensive circle under the Lich General's command,

layer upon layer shielding Jiang Chen.

Now anyone who approaches is treated as an enemy.

During these five days, Jiang Chen has turned the Skill Space over again and again, yet still gained nothing,

but the more this happened, the stranger Jiang Chen felt.

He is overly confident in himself; he believes he cannot lack a Level 80 skill.

Moreover, over the five days, the suppressing feeling showed no sign of waning, even seemed to strengthen.

It feels as if something won't retreat unless he gives up.

Jiang Chen and the other side have been wearing each other out.

Since you won't retreat, I'll search even more.

Five days later, Jiang Chen took out Antares's Dragon Scale and activated it. The Undead Legion vanished en masse, and Jiang Chen also disappeared in an instant; the next second

he appeared beside Antares.

Antares sensed Jiang Chen's aura, and his eyes opened a sliver.

"You stinky brat, Level 80 already, huh?"

Jiang Chen reaching Level 80 didn't surprise Antares. Leveling up isn't a difficult matter.

If not for trivial matters, leveling for Jiang Chen would be a breeze. Yet the next second, Antares sensed Jiang Chen's condition was off.

"You stinky brat, are you alright?"

Jiang Chen gave no reply; his brows were knit, as if in some special state.

All of Antares's eyes opened fully, golden light flashing in his massive dragon eyes, enveloping Jiang Chen like a searchlight.

Jiang Chen was magnified infinitely within its gaze; in an instant Antares saw every detail of Jiang Chen.

At its tier, once it wishes to see clearly, it does so regardless of Jiang Chen's consent.

It saw Jiang Chen's soul, and Jiang Chen's soul also had its brows knit.

"Come in!"

Jiang Chen seemed to feel Antares's stare, and a voice squeezed out from his soul.

Antares did not hesitate, instantly entering Jiang Chen's spirit realm; Jiang Chen's soul‑voice resonated grandly throughout the soul world, "Watch my soul for me; I'm grappling with the force that suppresses me."

Antares frowned; within Jiang Chen's soul it is merely a thought, with limited ability to act.

A thought can see and hear, but only that. "I need to let more power in," Antares said.

Jiang Chen showed no hesitation, "Come."

A simple word, yet it held complete trust in Antares. Antares let out a dragon's roar, and Soul Power surged like a raging sea.

Swiftly, a tangible form coalesced in Jiang Chen's soul world—a divine dragon cloaked in purple‑gold appeared.

It is a condensation of Antares's soul power, which can be regarded as Antares's soul clone.

With enough power, Antares can employ some of its abilities. The divine dragon erupted in brilliant light, instantly tinting Jiang Chen's soul space purple‑gold.

With enough power, Antares can employ some of its abilities. The Divine Dragon erupted in brilliant light, instantly rendering Jiang Chen's soul space a purple‑gold hue.

A gigantic dragon eye appeared in the Soul World, and within the dragon eye was the shadow of Jiang Chen's soul.

"Divine Dragon Insight!"

Antares cast its technique, Divine Dragon Insight.

Antares said, "You go on with your own affairs, I'll watch over this place."

"Alright!"

Jiang Chen felt very at ease; his soul instantly fell silent, and all his mind entered the Skill Space.

Jiang Chen began again to search for the Skill Star Core that should exist.

He didn't believe that he lacked a Level 80 Skill.

He employed all his Soul Power for the search, determined to find it.

The more Soul Power he used, the more pronounced the suppression he felt. That inexplicable feeling was as if something were truly opposing him, growing stronger.

Antares stared intently at Jiang Chen's soul; Divine Dragon Insight is a technique of the Dragon Race, reputed that under its Insight nothing can be hidden.

At Antares's level, it believes nothing can evade it. Yet Jiang Chen had once told it of an anomaly; at that time it detected nothing and claimed Jiang Chen's feeling was mistaken.

But now, with Jiang Chen again like this, it also cannot help but trust Jiang Chen's feeling.

Having reached Level 80, Soul Level 93, how could the feeling possibly go wrong so easily?

"Did I miss something!"

Antares thought to itself

, watching with extreme scrutiny.

Jiang Chen had already mobilized more than 99% of his Soul Energy, with nothing held back. His soul was now completely empty.

In this state, Antares finally sensed a clue. "Found it!"

"Hidden so deep, let me see what it actually is!" It saw a point, then Divine Dragon Insight surged at full power, and the object kept magnifying in its view.

After magnifying millions of times, it finally saw the object clearly.

Antares let out a sudden gasp, and Divine Dragon Insight collapsed with a thunderous crash.
