Chapter 379: Chapter 377 Testing Talent [2]
Although Yona’s talent was not high, he had mastered virtually all of the Wood Element Secret Techniques. Several instructors were particularly satisfied, declaring that if he entered the Divine Beast Academy, he would be a model student of Secret Techniques.
Like Yona, Yohanes also had Profound Rank Wood Element talents and had mastered all Secret Techniques, gaining the recognition and praise from all the instructors, including the veteran Zong Silu.
Frost’s talent was better than his two sisters, having entered the early phase of Spirit Rank, with the Water-Fire Dual Element talent. Because he was cultivating both elements simultaneously, which was several times more difficult than a single element, he hadn’t fully mastered the Water-Fire Dual Element Secret Techniques.
This gave the instructors a strong sense of presence, yielding candid guidance to the child, and they made a strong request to Zi Qi, insisting that Frost must be admitted to the academy where they would teach him well.
Sally personally presented awards to the three children, each accompanied by a fragrant kiss.
Manman, without needing any urging from the instructors, spread her wings, flew into the testing Barrier, and then her little claw forcefully pressed down on the third Talent Measure Column. The column exploded straight to the top, even shattering…
Then they saw Sally with a faint smile on her face.
“Mom?” Manman shrank her neck a little.
“Retest!” Sally, with a headache, retrieved a device specifically for measuring talent, made by Xiaomei, from the System Space.
It was a small, house-like machine. Once connected to a screen, one could clearly see a very comfortable-looking soft chair inside, along with a helmet.
Without Sally saying anything, Manman flapped her wings and entered the machine, fitting the adjustable helmet over her head, and then lay down in the chair, letting out a long sigh, “Mom’s smiling face is really scary!”
A muscle in Sally’s forehead twitched, “…Don’t talk nonsense!”
The test values on the screen changed rapidly, and the connected screen outside also showed the changes; however, how exactly these values translated into mastery of Innate Secret Technique, not even Sally was clear—only Xiaomei knew.
The test result showed that [Ming Yuzhen]’s Talent was at the initial phase of Saint Rank, with 78% mastery in Fire Element Secret Technique, partially hidden.
Seeing the partially hidden result, Sally knew that Xiaomei did not want to expose the children’s rule-based Secret Techniques, especially since Manman’s rule was Darkness.
Zi Yuan understood what the machine was for when she saw this and asked Zi Qi, “Your Majesty, what is this?”
Zi Qi replied, “Yanyan found it on another continent. It can accurately measure Talent and the degree of mastery over Secret Techniques.”
“What about the partial hiding?”
“It means there is a special Secret Technique which can be selected to be disclosed or not.”
Ming Linyuan arrived and, after seeing the test result displayed on the screen, said to Zi Qi, “Do not disclose it.”
Zi Qi nodded, went into the testing Barrier, and told Sally that Ming Linyuan refused to disclose Manman’s Dark Rule.
Sally nodded at Ming Linyuan, who had hurried over, and told Manman to come out of the testing machine, “Your father is here, go over and say hello.”
With the testing machine provided by Xiaomei, the subsequent testing was much simpler.
Putao obediently went to be tested and quickly came back out.
The test result showed that [Zong Yunhui]’s Talent was in the initial phase of Saint Rank, with 51% mastery in the Space Element, partially hidden.
Zong Silu hugged Putao, feeling both helpless and proud; the father’s talent wasn’t as high as his son’s, and the son brought honor and glory to his father.
Xiaoqi had been impatient for a while and actively went in on his own, put on the helmet, and after counting to ten, took it off again.
Right on time, the test result came out.
Xiaoqi ran out from the testing machine, heading straight for the award table…
The test result showed that [Zi Yuxi]’s Talent was at the initial phase of Saint Rank, with 67% mastery in Water-Fire Dual Element, partially hidden.
Zi Qi, watching her happily spin around after selecting the desired True Water Stone, couldn’t help but smile, “With such a love for treasures, whatever shall we do in the future?”
“Your Majesty, one must raise their daughter in abundance,” Sally said with a smile.
Then it was Xiaoba’s turn. The Little Golden Dragon coiled up without moving, so the helmet was placed on the eggshell.
This was Zi Qi’s own son, and his expression turned noticeably more solemn.
The Talent result showed [Zi Chen] was at the middle to late phase of Saint Rank, with dual-element talents of Fire and mutated Ice, 0% mastery, partially hidden.
Zi Qi also chose not to disclose it.
But he found the result somewhat amusing yet bittersweet.
“Inside the egg, his Talent doesn’t fall short at all. Is he planning to raise his Talent to the very top?”
“That depends on Your Majesty, if you have the lineage that can let him develop to the top. Anyway, I’m out of the equation,” Sally cleanly disassociated herself from the situation.
Zi Qi: “…”
Xiaoba was lifted out of the device by Zi Qi.
Sally joked, “Your Majesty, why don’t you give it a try too?”
Zi Qi handed Xiaoba to her, “Want to know my talent?”
Sally nodded, “Yes.”
In fact, Zi Qi had never really publicized his full range of talents and secret techniques; everyone just guessed he must be at the peak of Spirit Rank, with secret techniques in the Water Element, a mutated Ice Element, and the Soul Element.
Zi Qi turned around and put the helmet back on.
Sally’s eyes widened as she watched the data change on the screen…
Zi Qi chose not to hide anything and selected full disclosure.
Sally stared at the test results, her eyes widening in surprise.
Everyone else also looked in disbelief.
To everyone’s shock, Zi Qi’s talent had actually reached the middle to late stage of Saint Rank, exactly like Xiaoba! In addition to the known Water Element, mutated Ice, and Soul Element secret techniques, there were also Space, Wind Element, and the Purple Blood Lion’s Frost secret techniques, hybrid secret techniques, with the Water Element at 100%, and the others all above 50%.
“You’re even more impressive than your son.” Sally suddenly understood why Xiaoba hadn’t emerged; he must be planning to surpass his father—such a tiny ego!
“Your machine is not bad, give it to Divine Beast Academy,” Zi Qi said, looking at his own talents and secret techniques.
“Sure,” Sally said with a smile.
Ming Linyuan came over, holding the struggling Manman, “But you’ve really kept yourself well-hidden, no wonder the Demon Emperor never dares to seriously challenge you.”
Zi Qi’s thin lips curved slightly, “Do you want to give it a try?”
“Forget it.” Ming Linyuan was now part of the Demon Clan and didn’t want to attract too much attention to himself.
Manman called out, “Dad, let me go, I want to get my prize.”
“Prize? Let’s go, dad has good luck, I’ll help you choose one.” Ming Linyuan carried Manman to select a Little Storage Bag.
Sally beckoned Xiaojiu over, “Come here, my chubby treasure.”
Xiaojiu ran towards Sally; his plump round face trembling and pouting, incredibly cute, “Mother.”
“Hmm, go and test, do you know how to wear it?” Sally asked.
“Yes.” Xiaojiu put the helmet on himself and then lay down directly.
The test result, [Fred Millet Saint] in the early stage of Saint Rank, secret techniques hidden.
Thinking that Frans probably also would not want to reveal too much, Sally directly lifted Xiaojiu out.
[Shelvy Millet Saint] in the early stage of Saint Rank, secret technique Wood Element 1%, part hidden.
Sally looked at her mastery of the secret technique… She had been too focused on having fun.
[Solomo Shar] at the peak of Spirit Rank, secret techniques Fire, Earth, Treasure Seeking, no hidden talents.
When she saw her son’s name, Ming Linyuan was stunned for a moment, “Isn’t his rank Yun, character Chen?”
“The last time I went to the Dark Continent ten thousand years ago, I encountered the Demon Emperor. He demanded to have a grandson with his surname, and I agreed.”
Ming Linyuan didn’t say anything more, “Then I can’t change my youngest son’s name anymore.”
Sally laughed in response, “Hmm.”
Little Shier was a Divine Beast, the Qilin, who directly raised the testing standard to a whole new level, leaving the tutors from Divine Beast Academy and Zi Yuan gasping for breath.
The test result, [Zhusu Yunrui] with Talent at God Rank! Secret techniques Water, Wood, Fire, Space, part hidden!
Little Shier picked a Little Storage Bag obediently; inside was a True Water Stone, and also a True Fire seed.
Since his Father Beast wasn’t there and he had no other siblings around, he played particularly quietly. Zi Qi went over, patted his head, and gave him a Little Storage Bag, “Little Yunrui has done very well, this is an extra reward for you.”
“Thank you, Uncle Zi,” Little Shier rubbed Zi Qi with his Kylin horn.
Zi Qi thought he’d get his skin scraped by the Divine Beast’s horn again, but to his surprise, Little Shier’s touch was just right, and he was completely fine.
It seems the problem lay with his own son…
