#918 - Ring Condensation Tower

The day after the announcement, two cities sent special trains to the newly built train station.

Two trains traveled towards each other, arriving at the seemingly out-of-nowhere train station almost simultaneously.

The staff on the trains, although having heard the instructions beforehand, were visibly more shocked after confirming with their own eyes.

At the spacious train station, which was not yet equipped with staff, two groups of people successively stepped off the two trains parked side by side.

The team led by Quan Yue stepped off the train from Hai Nie City, while on the other side, the team led by Quan Li stepped off the train from Lu Yan City.

The leaders chosen for these groups showed how much importance they placed on this event.

The people following them formed two neat rows, with members of all ages.

Without exception, these people all emitted soul power fluctuations and had reached the bottleneck of their respective levels.

Although the official announcement was only made recently, the relevant personnel had been notified in advance and had given their consent.

Initially, they were skeptical about absorbing a man-made soul ring, which they had never heard of. However, when they heard that Quan Yi was leading the project and would personally operate it, their doubts were immediately dispelled.

Quan Yi's reputation had further grown in popularity during this time.

No one present would forget the psychological impact of the nine-colored lightning tribulation that stretched across the sky in the west.

Now, having the opportunity to get close to Quan Yi, even for that reason alone, they wanted to participate.

Nearly a hundred members participated in the soul ring absorption this time.

For a force with only 400,000 people, gathering nearly a hundred soul masters waiting to absorb soul rings without much advance preparation was a strangely high proportion.

However, a large portion of these hundred people were children around the age of ten.

They were all children who had accepted the Quan family's youth training program.

Awakening innate soul power in the same batch and experiencing cultivation life together, the similar levels of innate soul power among many of them led to them encountering bottlenecks at roughly the same time.

Thus, observing from the side, it could be seen that sixty to seventy percent of the children had just reached the tenth-level threshold, and today would be the first day they absorbed a soul ring.

Moreover, they would be the first group to absorb man-made soul rings, making them unprecedented in both senses.

The two teams gathered at the exit inside the deserted station.

The father and son warmly embraced, and Quan Li asked in his aged voice, "Did Xiao Yi tell you how to get there?"

Quan Yue shook his head and replied, "He only told me that we would know how to get there when we arrived."

"Please follow the arrows."

Wooden signs engraved with red arrows were placed at intervals.

"It seems we should go this way."

Quan Yue pointed to the location of the wooden sign and led the team towards the upward-extending staircase passage.

The daylight gathered in the small area of the passage near the exit. When the hundred soul masters stepped over the boundary between light and shadow and walked out of the relatively low-lying train station,

Everyone was deeply shocked by the behemoth directly in front of the exit.

It was a towering dome-shaped tower that reached into the clouds. Unlike ordinary buildings, this tower was clearly constructed from metal materials.

Under the sunlight, the surface of the iron tower emitted a distinct metallic luster.

Except for the transparent glazed dome at the very top, the outer layer of the round tower was divided into six parts from bottom to top.

They were composed of six colors: white, yellow, purple, black, red, and gold, forming six circular rings around the tower.

The round tower, emitting a peculiar fluorescent energy, looked like six real soul rings superimposed on top of each other.

From this obvious color scheme, it could be seen that this tower must be the Condensing Ring Tower that had been foreshadowed.

"Haha, this iron tower is more than fifty meters tall, right?

Also, the sense of oppression and the undisguised soul-guiding fluctuations that can be felt even from here, the entire iron tower should be a complete soul-guiding device."

Quan Li gazed into the distance and used his Douluo-level vision to clearly see the accurate information about the iron tower.

However, for this very reason, he could feel the terrifying pressure emanating from the iron tower more than anyone else present.

The many children behind him showed amazement and wonder when they saw this dreamlike Condensing Ring Tower.

For these children with weak strength, the tower did not seem to exude any pressure, leaving them only with the magnificent colors and the visual impact of the iron tower.

Two ten-year-old boys, one sturdy and one thin, stood at the front of the children, looking up at the tower and exclaiming in admiration.

Compared to the children behind them, these two were noticeably older in temperament and appearance.

Moreover, a closer look at their appearance would make them seem very familiar.

Among them, the child whose body posture was subtly on the borderline between sturdy and fat looked at his friend, who was reacting just as exaggeratedly, and couldn't help but complain:

"Xiao Ming, where did your usual composure and calmness go? Aren't you usually the most boastful, you little brat?"

Xiao Ming, whose eyes were shining and completely immersed in admiration, frowned when he heard this harsh voice:

"Xiao Lin, no one would think you're mute if you didn't speak.

Also, do you even know who built this iron tower?

No one in the entire island, except for the young master, could have erected such a magnificent metal building in such a short time."

Seeing the light of adoration shining in Xiao Ming's eyes when he mentioned the young master, Xiao Lin was also deeply infected.

These two teenagers were the two young men who had awakened the Black Iron Gauntlet martial soul during the awakening ceremony after four years of training in the first batch that Quan Yi had paid attention to.

More than three years had passed since that awakening ceremony. During this time, they had successfully obtained their first soul ring with their excellent talent.

This time, they came to the Condensing Ring Tower with children younger than themselves to obtain their second soul ring.

Among the children of their generation, these two were the most talented and hardworking young geniuses.

However, even so, there was still a towering figure in their minds that they needed to look up to, preventing them from being arrogant.

Xiao Ming, the cool boy who usually presented himself with a cold face, found it difficult to calm down when he thought about being able to meet the young master, who was usually elusive.

Just as everyone's thoughts were fluctuating, a ground-level track was laid out from the platform where they were standing, leading directly to the Condensing Ring Tower.

Just as they were admiring the high tower, a silent, minimalist single-carriage train head drove up in front of the track.
