Chapter 146: Genius Talent
As Aric approached the Talent Stone, his heart raced with a thrill he hadn't felt in ages. He'd been preparing for this moment, knowing it was his opportunity to outshine everyone here. The gathered crowd fell silent, their eyes fixed on him as he placed his hand on the cold, polished stone.
In an instant, the stone blazed to life with a dazzling golden light, filling the entire testing ground with its brilliance. Gasps and murmurs of awe echoed among the initiates, their surprise and admiration unmistakable.
The glow was almost blinding, and the elders exchanged astonished glances, their normally composed faces betraying a hint of excitement.
"Golden!" Elder Ming declared, unable to hide his admiration. "A genius talent!"
The crowd erupted in whispers, and Aric could hear snippets of their conversations.
"A genius talent… from him? How is that possible?"
"Such brightness! I've never seen the stone glow like that before!"
