In the 2 day journey to the central area, William and the other two had hunted a lot of Soul Beasts while increasing their cultivation.
At that time they were a little surprised when they saw that Albert Rosch's storage bag had 3 soul pills that could increase their cultivation base to the next stage.
It was the most valuable cultivation enhancement soul pill among the soul pills. It can remove the remaining impurities in the body's meridians and allow soul energy to flow smoothly, after taking the pill the three of them broke through to the next stage.
Prince Alfred managed to reach the advanced level 9 Spirit Warrior, while Chiaki managed to advance to the intermediate level 9 Spirit Warrior level. Even William managed to reach a peak stage 9 Spirit Warrior.
“Hahaha, it feels really good to be able to restore the cultivation base that was lost. William, you now have a peak level 9 Spirit Warrior cultivation base. Doesn't that mean we have enough strength to fight all the tier 9 Spirit Warriors in this assessment place?” Prince Alfreed asked a little excitedly as if He was overjoyed that his cultivation base had increased.
If someone listened to this conversation, they would probably burst out laughing and think it was a silly joke. But that's because other people don't know the hidden power that these three people have.
Chiaki who seemed to be related to the world tree, Prince Alfreed who had the inheritance from the god of karma, and William's existence that couldn't be judged using common sense. Even if a tier 8 advanced stage Spirit Warrior stood in the front, the three of them could kill him without anyone being hurt in the slightest.
“Yeah, at least I'm sure I can win it very easily. This time all we need to do is complete the assessment task given by the Secret Service Organization.” William nodded his head and smiled.
Although from the outside, William only seems to increase his cultivation base, for the past 2 days He has adapted to the big changes that occur in his body physique.
Not only had his physical body become stronger, but even the limit on the quantity of soul energy in his body had also drastically increased to the equivalent of an early stage 8 Spirit Warrior.
“Yes, I also need to slowly heal my meridians in order to return to my original cultivation base.” Prince Alfred nodded his head in agreement with what William said.
As for Chiaki, She could only say nothing because of her inexperience in dealing with the outside world.
"Let's continue, in a little while we will arrive at the part of the central region where the fire lotus soul plant is!" William nodded his head then walked towards the central region, which was the volcano.
- - -
After a while of walking, William and the other two had arrived at the central region of the assessment area. Now in front of them was no longer a forest filled with big and tall trees, but a vast crater lake filled with hot springs.
The surface of the water was filled with thick steam and a very pungent smell, this all indicated that the three of them had reached the outer part of the underground lava lake.
Within a hundred-meter range of vision on William's Eyes of Wrath ability, He saw that there were countless branching underground passages. Just by looking at it, William knew that the branching passages in his vision looked like an artificial labyrinth that had been formed by humans.
If others wanted to enter here to collect the red fire lotus spiritual plant, they would most likely get lost. It wouldn't even be strange if they were stuck in it for a few months seeing how complicated the maze passages were.
Perhaps this was one of the most difficult tests for the other participants when taking the red fire lotus spiritual plant in a place like this. However, all of this was completely meaningless in front of William's Eyes of Wrath ability. That's because everything can be seen very clearly which part of the aisle is right and which part of the aisle is wrong.
“Under this volcano, there are countless branching underground passages! You two better follow me!” William glanced briefly at the crater containing the hot springs, then headed down the underground passage that led in the right direction.
As the three people began to enter the underground that had a lava lake, they immediately felt hot air emanating from beside them. It was as if they had been in a very large oven.
"Keep in mind! if you two come across a red fire lotus spiritual plant, don't take it with your bare hands. I'll just take it! Do you understand?" William said in a very serious tone, He felt no need to explain the terrible things that the Secret Service Organization had done to both of them.
"In that case, okay!"
Both of them could hear that William's words this time were very serious, so all they could do was nod in agreement.
Even though they didn't know why William was so serious, at least William wouldn't do something that could put both of their lives in danger.
After seeing the two of them not asking about the reason, William slightly heaved a sigh of relief. Then He took them both to the underground passage. In his field of vision, He could clearly see all the cave passages within a hundred meters underground.
After a while of walking, William and the other two had arrived at an underground passage that was quite small than an adult's size.
“Behind this underground passage, there is a fire lotus spiritual plant!” William stopped in front of the narrow entrance of the cave passage.
“William, are you sure this is the right place?” Prince Alfred looked at the cave in front of him with great curiosity. That was because the entrance of the cave passage in front of them was too narrow to allow an adult human to enter it.
"Yes, this is one of the most correct paths among the underground cave passages we previously walked through!" William nodded his head while glancing at Chiaki as if He was asking if Chiaki also had the same doubts as Prince Alfred.
Chiaki looked around for a while, then she unhesitatingly walked over and stood beside William and said, “Of course I believe what young master says!”
"You misunderstood William, what I mean is not that I don't believe your words but that the entrance of this cave passage is too narrow for me!" Prince Alfred said with a sad face while pointing at the piano soul artifact made of wood and the mid-level soul artifact sword that came from Albert Rosch's precious loot.
“Ah….” William subconsciously slapped his forehead after hearing those words.
Because William was too focused on finding the path with the shortest path to where the fire lotus spiritual plant grew, He didn't think anything of the difference in body size from his own team.
After remembering the cave passage that he had previously passed, William could only shake his head while spreading his arms.
“This is the closest path to the fire lotus spiritual plant. If we don't go through the cave passage in front of us, then all we can do is find another way."
When Prince Alfred heard it, He only thought for a moment before removing the black cloth covering the wooden piano on his back.
By the time the wooden piano was no longer covered by the black cloth, a very fragrant aroma began to emanate from the wooden piano.
Then the soul energy around Prince Alfred's body began to overflow towards the wooden piano. Then after a while, the wooden piano disappeared from everyone's sight.
“A soul artifact that can be inserted into the soul sea? What a practical thing!” William subconsciously looked at the cause and effect book hanging from his waist before sighing. That's because William couldn't store the soul artifact from the abyss of death into his soul sea, if He did that then his soul sea would be polluted by the aura of the abyss of death.
“Okay, Chiaki will walk in the front, I in the middle, and you in the very back!” William clapped his hands and motioned for Chiaki to go first.
"Oh? Why am I the last one?” Prince Alfred asked with some confusion.
"That's so your body doesn't get in our way!" William couldn't help but smile slightly as he shrugged his shoulders.
Pfft!
When Chiaki heard the words that came out of William's mouth, She couldn't help but laugh. That's because the words spoken by William can make others misunderstand that Prince Alfreed's body is too fat to enter the underground cave passage.
Even though Prince Alfred's body was like that of a normal adult, it was only because of the underground cave passage that was in front of them that made Prince Alfred look very big.
Chiaki could only move forward into the narrow cave passage in front of him. Chiaki didn't dare to look back, because She was sure that Prince Alfred was looking at him with his cold eyes.
Seeing it all, William could only laugh in his heart.
"At least I have to make my members aware of communicating with each other even though there is a big difference between them all."
