Liu Feng could hear a lot of murmuring. It was clear that this was a never before exception. Then after a few minutes, the spirit to the right of the old man stood up.

“I will start us off. I will not deny that I have underestimated this human. But his performance in the second trial has impressed me. I, Pyrus, the King of Fire, give him my approval. He will be chosen to wield my power in the mortal realm.”

Liu Feng hastily bowed towards Pyrus. The fire spirits on one side suddenly dimmed down, and they disappeared. Pyrus looked at the old man and said, “Fire shall take its leave. It has chosen.” Then, Pyrus also disappeared, and Liu Feng could feel his body burning up. Particularly on the back, it seemed that something was etched there. 

The other three next to the old man looked at each other. But they did not speak up. A spirit on the platform who was standing stepped forward and said, “The second elder of Earth, Primitus, gives his approval to the human. He will be chosen to wield my powers in the mortal realm.” Liu Feng bowed again, and could feel his body getting heavier, as his legs turned brown. Then on his feet, a strange tattoo of a turtle appeared. Then, Terran stood up and said, “Earth has chosen. It shall take leave.”. All the earth spirits then left. The Queen of water looked at the Queen of Air.

She stood up and said, “I pity the human who has to wield the consuming power of Pyrus. To let him survive, I Aquous, shall give him my approval, sheerly for pity on his life. He shall wield my powers in the mortal realm. Water shall take its leave.”. She smiled at Liu Feng and disappeared along with the water spirits.

Hearing that, Liu Feng felt a chill similar to when he touched the Queen’s hand, on the back, near where it burnt.

The old man looked at the Queen of Air and said, “It looks like the spirits of Air are not interested… what a pity, what a pity…”, and as he was about to turn, a spirit in the stands stood up and said, “Avian gives him his approval Your Majesty. He shall wield my power in the mortal realm.”

Liu Feng bowed towards the stands. His hands suddenly became lighter, and his right shoulder was marked with a tattoo of a tiger. The Queen of Air stood up and said, “Air has chosen. All elements have chosen you human. Do not disgrace us. We shall take leave.”. All the spirits left, and Liu Feng was left alone with the old man.

She quickly bowed, and the old man laughed. “Do you know that this is the first time that all elements have descended in one human? Of course circumstance has also dictated it, but it is indeed a remarkable achievement.”

“Yes your Majesty, but I did ask for your approval…”, Liu Feng reminded him.

“You are quite the expectant one? Be careful, don’t bite off more than you can chew.”

“Your Majesty, I am confident that I will put your powers to justice. I am sure that you know of my particular situation, seeing you are the king of spirits. I am sure that you know that this is the soul of a five year old boy that you see now.”

The old man smiled weakly and his attire changed to a more casual one. “Yes child, I know. I have heard from Him your particular circumstance. Infact, I was ordered to give you my powers, so no need to fret. But you must know that using even a little bit will be an immeasurable toll on your body. The elemental spirits’ powers should be enough for you, but mine are meant solely for life protection. You will not be able to use it more than a few times, so be careful.”
