Breaking the Record

The talent test could be said to be a ritual that would decide the rest of one's life. Whether one would become a dragon or a worm would have to be decided here.

As time passed, it was soon noon and the sun was shining brightly. Fortunately, it was autumn and the temperature was very pleasant.

"Alright, you've all chosen the Beast Taming Egg you like. Now, follow me to Awaken." As he spoke, Leng Lingxiao clasped his hands together, and a stone tablet about five to six meters tall and three people wrapped around it appeared out of thin air.

"This is called the Spirit Ascension Monument. I believe some of your parents have already told you that as long as you meditate in front of the Monument, you can awaken your beast-taming abilities and become a true beast tamer."

"The rating and level of one's ability almost determines one's future height. This is the deviation of the world. It's one's birth. Therefore, I hope that no matter how talented one is, no one will react too violently. Do you understand?"

This time, Leng Lingxiao did not take special care of Fang Xuan. He even deliberately avoided looking at him.

Fang Xuan vaguely sensed the other party's thoughts, but he did not take it to heart. After all, strength spoke for itself in this world. Furthermore, he had the Bug Tribe System, so it was normal for him not to be understood.

"If you don't have any questions, line up and take the talent test. Each batch can accommodate ten people to take the test at the same time. Just meditate around the Spirit Ascension Monument."

Fang Xuan stretched his back and took the initiative to line up at the back.

"Tsk, it's obvious that this kid is afraid that he's a trash talent, so he's feeling guilty."

"Hehe, Boss, what talent do you want to awaken?"

"Talent…"

He casually listened to the conversations of the people around him. They were all about talent.

Although talents were rated, the specific abilities were still different. Especially high-level talents, most of them were combat-type or support-type, but low-level talents were mostly useless talents.

Among them, the two most common words were "Ice Emperor" and "Void".

These two were top-notch existences among Grade S talents. It was possible for them to fight ten people at the same level, but who could say for sure about talent? It was just a wish.

Among the people present, no one came to talk to Fang Xuan. No one knew where Ning Lanqing stood either.

It was either these people looked down on Fang Xuan's background or they were afraid of drawing the hatred of others.

Fang Xuan had long treated this as a daily occurrence. Before he became powerful enough, he could not even guarantee the most basic right to speak. He knew this long ago.

Especially when his parents were tortured to death by high-ranking officials.

Just as he was thinking about this, the first person to undergo the talent test had already awakened.

It was a short-haired girl who finished her meditation in just half a minute. She was dressed very simply and looked slightly better than Fang Xuan. At the very least, there were no patches on her clothes.

"White chick. Familiar is a cat. Talent: Leap, Level F."

Leng Lingxiao's words instantly extinguished the short-haired girl's hope.

"I'm sorry, Teacher. I'd better go home and feed the cows." After saying this, she covered her mouth and ran out of the door with red eyes.

Talent determined everything in this world. Without talent, it meant that there was no future.

As the batches of young men and women's tests ended, the moon really curved and shone on the joy and sorrow of some families in the Nine States.

At least half of the people present had below average talents, and there were also quite a number of F-rank talents. The atmosphere in the venue became more and more solemn. Soon, only a few words were left in the huge square, and there was no longer as much discussion as before.

Not to mention the Ice Emperor and Void, as long as they didn't do nothing for the rest of their lives, they would be satisfied.

"Kid, your name is Fang Xuan, right? I advise you not to even take the test. Don't embarrass the villagers! Look at your useless Beast Taming Egg. A Beast Taming Egg like you has already been reserved in advance in the F seats."

That sharp and ear-piercing voice sounded again. In the next moment, the person meditating in front of the Spirit Ascension Monument became Sun Ming.

This chubby boy had really found his way. He had to teach him a lesson.

At this moment, Sun Ming still did not know how wrong it was to offend this great Buddha in front of him.

After 20 minutes, Sun Ming's talent awakening ended.

"Sun Ming's familiar is the Great Strength Demon Ape. His talent is fire, Grade S."

Sun Ming struggled to stand up with a confident smile on his face.

"See that, kid? This is talent. This is the family gene. Your country bumpkin's gene can't be that strong."

"I advise you to get lost quickly. Just find a place with no one around and awaken yourself. Oh right, do you not have the Spirit Ascension Monument at home? Brother Sun doesn't mind inviting you to our residence as a guest."

He wanted to say more, but when he saw Leng Lingxiao's cold gaze, he was shocked and returned to the crowd resentfully.

Fang Xuan didn't think too much about Sun Ming's useless trash talk. Instead, he thought of a problem: Among these people, the longer one meditated, the stronger the awakened talent.

From just now until now, including Sun Ming, there were only three people who had awakened S-rank. All three of them had sat in front of the Spirit Ascension Monument for 15 to 20 minutes.

As for those F-levels, they left the meditative state in less than a minute.

Similarly, D-rank and C-rank were the same.

The teacher did not mention this at first. Perhaps he was afraid that he would deliberately pressure the people present.

Fang Xuan took a deep breath and looked at the empty space in front of him. He understood that it was time for him to go on stage.

He tightened his grip on the dazzling golden Beast Taming Egg in his hand and slowly took a few steps forward, arriving in front of the Spirit Ascension Monument.

Leng Lingxiao nodded at him expressionlessly. The latter understood and sat in front of the monolith.

Sun Ming's face was cold. Ning Lanqing squeezed her head out from the back of the group. There were also other people who were watching the show and didn't mind making a big deal out of it. Their gazes were all focused on Fang Xuan.

However, to everyone's surprise, Fang Xuan actually broke the record.

The difference was that he broke the fastest record.

In just three seconds, he came out of his meditative state.

"Teacher, has it begun?"

Leng Lingxiao's face was solemn. "It's over."

...

A moment later, everyone burst into laughter!

"F*ck, how can there be such a fast man?"

"As expected of a country bumpkin. You really gave me a different surprise."

"Are there so many jobs in your village? Can you do another one? I have money."

Fang Xuan shook his head helplessly, but he was not affected by the trash talk.

He had long dabbled in another level of the system, so he wouldn't be surprised if anything happened to him now.
