BXBX NOVEL Chapter 79 Talent, Do I Have Any?
"Thank god I was wrong. I am not in the mood to get into another one of these trials already." I sighed with relief as I looked forward at the huge space that was sparsely populated. There were many people meditating, while others while talking to each other quietly. I had to walk quite a while to get here, but it looked like it was going to be worth it.
Without talking to anyone, I directly found a place to sit and closed my eyes. I needed this rest. After the last few days, I had to sleep not just for energy, but to rest my mind. I was getting exhausted mentally, and I knew that I had to be in top shape for the last trial. Although I was a little worried about the talent testing, I could not do anything to change it, so I just closed my eyes and went into a half sleep mode.
I could hear more and more people coming into the huge ground, but since I was at a corner, no one came to me to disturb me. I could feel the number of people slowly increasing.
Ten Hours Later
I opened my eyes to look at what was happening. Even though it was ten hours after the middle of the day, the sun was still shining bright, which confused me. Why was it still day? And in front of me, there were a few hundred people, all talking to each other. None of them were part of the hundreds who were eliminated before me.
"The strong ones must have waited for the weak ones to just leave. I wanted to wait as well, but I need the sleep. I have to have my priorities." I thought to myself as I sat upright. There were a few who glanced at me here and there. I must have gotten some attention after that praise from the Senior Brother Yurin. But that one thing that he said tensed my heart. The last time that someone named Liu came to the sect? Thing was, I was sure that my real father was not surnamed Liu. That meant that someone from the Liu Family was the reason why he was interested in me.
That did not sit well with me. But I couldn\'t change that. I had to get ready for the Trial of Talent, and it looked like it was going to start anytime soon.
"But do I have any talent? Technically, this body is not supposed to be able to cultivate, is it? And I am pretty sure that no one is able to change the talent of a body. I wonder what they will even test." I muttered in my breath.
"Do you want to know what they will test in your talent? I have some of that in my memories, but I am not sure if they are going to test these." Liu Man suddenly interjected.
"Oh my god! How the hell do you know all of these when you are quite literally a new born? Having these inherited memories must be a real cheat!" I exclaimed.
"In exchange for having powerful offspring, the heavens made sure that the mythical beasts would have few children. That is why we are so rare. The heavens makes sure that there is balance, and it certainly favors the humans more than any other race." Liu Man disagreed.
"Well then, what is it about the talent? How the hell are they going to measure my talent?" I asked.
"According to my memories, the talent of someone can be measure in three ways. They can measure your Spiritual Root, your spirit blood and the Spirit Bone. The Spirit Blood and Spirit Bone are all based on your lineage, so I am not sure about how your talent is based on that. But your Spiritual Root is supposed to be very strong. You even opened your Spirit Sea at such a young age. That means that you have a strong Spiritual Root. As for why you were unable to cultivate before, I think that it is because your Spiriual Root was dormant till now, and the Spirit Jade Pool awakened it. That is what I think anyways." Liu Man said.
I nodded, thanking him for this information. I looked at the golden bridge. There was nobody coming through the bridge, so I guessed that the trial of strength was probably done. The trials were going pretty fast, and I was sure that they were ahead of schedule. But I knew that Senior Brother Yurin did not pass through the bridge. He was nowhere to be seen.
"Well then, I think that it is time to test your talent. All of you will have to follow me and come to the Pavillion of Dreams. Let me just warn you now, if you are not able to handle anything , then you should stop resisting, and let the all pervasive force take you away." a voice came from ahead. It was not the voice of Senior brother Yurin. In fact, it was not the voice of a man at all. A pretty, young woman glared at all of us with her cold eyes, commanding us to follow her.
No one dared to argue with her. All of us started moving forward, following the woman to the Pavillion of Dreams that she was talking about. I wondered why something related to dreams would tell anyone something about talent, but I guessed that it was none of my concern. I just needed to pass this test.
We kept walking until we reached an area with a lot of buildings. But one among them seemed to be the one that we were supposed to go into. The words, \'Pavillion of Dreams\' were written quite boldly on the entrance.
"Go in and sit silently. Just close your eyes, and once you open them, you will know if you have passed or failed." the young woman said.
