……
“Number twenty-four, Li Gou'er, come up.”
Most students awakened White Common talents, emitting a white light. Occasionally, one or two green ones appeared, and besides Xiang Bai, no one else awakened a blue one.
White is the norm, green is an accident, and blue is a pleasant surprise.
Of course, some awakened talents, and some did not, like Li Gou'er sitting behind me; he did not awaken any talent.
“Number twenty-nine, Chen Lu, come up.”
As Chen Lu’s fingertip touched the Talent Awakening Stone, a dazzling Purple Light burst forth in the classroom.
“Good.”
Cao Xianzhi was ecstatic and couldn't help but shout out loud.
It was purple, and not just ordinary purple—it was deep purple.
A single purple talent was not enough to make the Talent Awakening Stone shine with such dazzling purple light; only two purple talents would cause the light to be so dazzling and eye-catching.
Chen Lu’s pupils transformed into a distinct black and white Mo Lan Eye.
Chen Lu awakened the Mo Lan Chen Family’s 【Mo Lan Eye】.
【Mo Lan Eye, Purple Epic, Beast Tamer Talent, with two pupil techniques: Mo Lan Mechanical Technique and Mo Lan Protection.】
Mo Lan Mechanical Technique: Anything seen by the eyes can be assembled into mechanical constructs that can move.
Mo Lan Protection: Manifests a Mo Lan flower to shield oneself, possessing absolute defense. As long as the Pupil Power is not depleted, enemies cannot break through the Mo Lan.
Cao Xianzhi asked with a bit of nervousness, “Is the other talent a Beast Tamer Talent or a Breeder Talent?”
A Beast Tamer Talent would be fine, but if it were a Breeder Talent, the teacher from the Breeding Class would come to snatch her away. After all, who wouldn't covet a purple talent, especially a grand, luxurious purple refrigerator with double doors?
Chen Lu frowned slightly, “It is both a Beast Tamer Talent and a Breeder Talent.”
Among awakened talents, there is a special category that encompasses the effects of both Beast Tamer Talents and Breeder Talents.
Cao Xianzhi smiled. As long as it could be classified as a Beast Tamer Talent, no one could take his student away, and no one would have an excuse to claim her.
Chen Lu turned around, startled, and looked back to see envious gazes from below the podium.
With two purple talents, as long as she doesn't die, she is destined to become a hegemon below the King Level.
Li Cunxu could predict that Chen Lu would be picked up by members of the Chen Family after school, transitioning from an ordinary branch member to a Core Member.
This is the usual practice of a Bloodline Aristocratic Family.
While Bloodline Talents are certainly good, the Alliance actually favors commoner geniuses who have not awakened Bloodline Talents.
Bloodline Talents offer great convenience in the early stages, but they become the biggest obstacle later on.
The difficulty for those with Bloodline Talents to break through to the King Level is five to ten times greater than for those without.
Breaking through to King Level is already difficult, and adding the increased difficulty from Bloodline Talents makes it exponentially harder; very few can break through.
The number of King Beast Tamers in the Alliance is telling: for every three King Beast Tamers, only one comes from an Aristocratic Family; the other two come from commoners.
Actually, not awakening a Bloodline Talent is not a major issue. After reaching the King Level, Beast Tamers can forge their own Bloodline Talent, and self-forged Bloodline Talents are often stronger than awakened ones.
“Number thirty, Li Cunxu, come up.”
It was Li Cunxu’s turn, and he walked onto the podium with an excited heart.
The moment he touched the Talent Awakening Stone, time seemed to stop.
In reality, time did not stop; rather, Li Cunxu’s consciousness accelerated to the point where he experienced the illusion that the surrounding time had halted.
【Use God's Life Pearl?】
A line of text appeared before his eyes.
God's Life Pearl?!
Li Cunxu’s breathing suddenly became rapid, his pupils dilated, his blood rushed faster, and his Heart pounded uncontrollably.
This heaven-defying item actually crossed over with me.
The God's Life Pearl was the reward Li Cunxu received for defeating the final BOSS and clearing the 《God Beast》 main storyline.
The effect of the God's Life Pearl is incredibly potent, truly heaven-defying.
Its effect is to randomly awaken one unique Legendary Rank talent.
A so-called unique talent appears only once in the world; only after the owner dies can a person in later generations have a chance to possess it again.
“Use it.”
Li Cunxu said, his heart trembling slightly.
【Use successful. Congratulations on awakening Gift of the Gods.】
Gift of the Gods?
Gift of the Gods!!!
Li Cunxu remembered this talent, and he gasped sharply.
He randomly awakened that one!
Li Cunxu understood the Gift of the Gods talent, having even fought against the Time Projection of the BOSS who possessed this talent, the Black Prison Incarcerator.
In the game's background lore, the Black Prison Incarcerator, due to possessing terrifying Potential, was discovered by the time observer, the Future Prophet. The Future Prophet, wary of the Black Prison Incarcerator's terrifying talent potential, conspired with many final BOSSes of that era to imprison the Black Prison Incarcerator, whose spatial system was not yet complete, in a Black Prison created from a massive black hole.
【Gift of the Gods, Gold Legend （ Unique ）, Beast Tamer Talent, grants a Pet Beast a talent with infinite growth Potential.】
The awakening of a unique talent caused no commotion because the Talent Awakening Stone cannot detect unique talents.
Therefore, unique talents are also called 'Colorless Unique.'
“Divine objects conceal themselves; that’s good. Wait, it’s not good. The Talent Awakening Stone didn't light up. In the eyes of others, doesn't that mean I didn't awaken any talent?”
Li Cunxu was happy one moment and worried the next.
The next second, his worry vanished as the Talent Awakening Stone lit up with a blue light.
“He used the God's Life Pearl and still awakened a talent, and his luck is quite good—he awakened a Blue Rare level talent.”
“Uh… celebrated too early. What he awakened is a Breeder Talent.”
【Bountiful Ranch, Breeder Talent, Blue Rare. Makes a ranch incredibly fertile, yielding abundant harvests and thriving livestock.】
Cao Xianzhi asked, “What type of talent is it?”
Li Cunxu hesitated. He considered whether to Disguise it as a Beast Tamer Talent. After thinking it over, he decided it was unnecessary. Even if he awakened a Breeder Talent, he could still become a Beastmaster; it would just mean others wouldn't hold him in high regard.
Furthermore, disguising it as a Beast Tamer Talent would necessitate hiding the Bountiful Ranch. Hiding the Bountiful Ranch means he couldn't use it, as this talent requires a ranch to be utilized, and its use would immediately expose it.
To hide it, Li Cunxu would have to never use it for his entire life.
Not using a talent—wasn't that a waste of awakening it?
Especially a blue talent.
Wasting a heavenly gift like that would surely invite divine retribution.
“Breeder Talent, Bountiful Ranch.”
Cao Xianzhi was a bit disappointed. Why a Breeder Talent? If it were a Beast Tamer Talent, he would have gained a promising student with one purple and two blue talents, and his performance review for the year would surely exceed expectations, guaranteeing him a spot for the Excellent Teacher award this year.
If Li Cunxu knew Cao Xianzhi’s thoughts, he would say, Teacher, you are still too young. You wouldn't be able to keep the purple card among one purple and two blues; even the school wouldn't be able to keep her.
That purple card would most likely be snatched away by No. 1 High School, which has better educational resources.
Cao Xianzhi asked, “Do you choose to become a Beastmaster or a Breeder?”
Li Cunxu replied without the slightest hesitation, “Beastmaster.”
