"Golden talent? My talent is golden?"
Upon hearing this, Yun You was slightly taken aback and instinctively shook her head.
"That can’t be right, can it? When I touched the Awakening Stone earlier, the light that erged wasn’t white?"
Yun You still rembered the scene during her awakening. That old stone flashed continuously, changing colors over a dozen tis, lingering on purple so many tis it got her a bit excited.
But the light that remained in the end was white, leaving her joy in vain.
She had already accepted the fact that she had a white talent, but now Old Jin was telling her that what she received was not a white talent at all, but the rarest golden talent.
What on earth is going on?
Yun You felt a bit confused.
"Silly girl... you don’t even appreciate your own [Extre Physique], right?"
Old Jin shook his head and smiled, "I told you before, the quality of a person’s Talent Ability often relates to the strength they possess at awakening."
"The stronger the physique, the higher the rarity and strength of the talent."
"Although there may be deviations between individuals, and a strong physique doesn’t necessarily guarantee a better talent..."
"But looking at all the Extre Physique holders over the decades, none have talents below blue."
As he spoke, Old Jin held out his fingers and gestured, "In the past fifty years, there have been 124 holders of Extre Physique, with 100 having blue talent, 23 having purple talent, and only 1 having a golden talent."
"Even if they were extrely unlucky, it’s impossible for them to have a white talent. It has never happened."
"Girl, if your talent is white, then all our past awakening experiences need to be redefined."
"Moreover, the ability you have is the extrely rare [Future Sight], which makes it even more impossible for it to be a white talent because no white talent has been associated with Future Sight so far."
"As for why the stone showed white..."
Old Jin paused, considering his words, and explained, "I think it’s probably because your talent is simply too strong that pure golden light wasn’t enough to define it, so it used a ’platinum’ color instead."
"If you had watched closely, you could actually see faint traces of golden light in that white glow. It’s not obvious, but it’s there."
"I see," Yun You muttered as she ruffled her hair, "No wonder you’re so confident in , Old Jin, thinking I can definitely win. You must have realized my talent was stronger than others from the start."
"But then, doesn’t this contradict your previous argunt with Li Cang that ’a low talent doesn’t necessarily an being weaker than a high talent’?"
"Not quite,"
Old Jin shook his head gently and said, "Because, I have a white talent myself."
"In this world, there are many with better talents than mine, but there aren’t many who are stronger than ."
As he spoke, Yun You could clearly sense the confidence in Old Jin’s tone.
He probably wasn’t lying, and honestly speaking, his personality wasn’t well-suited for lying anyway.
It was just beyond Yun You’s expectation that her teacher, a mighty figure with unfathomable strength, turned out to have the most ordinary white talent.
This indeed refutes Li Cang’s "talent theory," because in terms of sheer strength, Li Cang probably isn’t as formidable as Old Jin.
"In short, talent is important, but so are training and real combat. If you slack off in training, even the best talent won’t make you strong."
Old Jin patted Yun You on the shoulder and laughed, "But I’m not worried about you, girl. There probably aren’t many out there more eager to grow strong than you are."
"Stay humble, keep training, rest well, and the path ahead is limitless."
"That’s enough chatter for now. Let talk about developing talent."
He pointed at the young girl’s red eyes and calmly said, "For now, your [Future Sight] can probably see about 30 seconds ahead."
"That ti isn’t short, because, in critical monts of life and death, even a few seconds of action can change the outco of a battle."
"But when dealing with complex situations, half a minute is clearly not enough."
"So what you need to do is keep using your talent, use it whenever the cooldown is over, don’t hesitate, use it more, observe more and feel more, then find ways to extend the ti of Future Sight."
"Get it to one minute, five minutes, ten minutes... even an hour."
Old Jin tapped his head.
"This way, you’ll have plenty of ti to devise strategies and create better, more detailed battle plans using the insights you gather from the future."
"Regarding that fight just now, your actions were indeed decisive, withstanding the pain of being cut on your hands, shoulders, and legs, to stop an inevitable hit, was comndable."
"But if you had observed the environnt more closely, you could have made better choices, such as using obstacles in the terrain to block the blade, reducing its power; or throwing knives to attack Night lody’s wrists or ankles to disrupt his charging moves, for instance."
"Overall, the essence of Future Sight is a very good auxiliary ability. What you need to do is find ways to enhance its effectiveness so that it integrates better with your battle thods."
"Secondly..."
Old Jin lowered his voice and added, "Since your talent is called [Pre-Borrowing] instead of [Future Sight], it ans that Future Sight is only part of your Talent Ability. There must be other aspects to develop and explore."
"Use your Talent Ability frequently, and uncover all those abilities!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, the young girl couldn’t help but feel a little headache.
"So I must use it frequently to be able to develop it..."
Yun You truly didn’t want to trigger the "cost," and she didn’t want to deal with any kind of "alcohol."
She felt nauseous just at the sight of alcohol, a physiological kind of nausea.
"I know it’s hard for you, girl, but sotis, we have to muster so determination, right?"
Old Jin shrugged and said softly, "There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. To get stronger, it’s not only your body that needs to be tested, but our minds and thoughts also have to cross mountains of knives and seas of fire."
"Have you ever seen a strong person who reached the top without overcoming psychological nightmares?"
"Kid, are you going to quit revenge just because of a bottle of alcohol?"
"Of course not!"
Yun You shook her head vigorously.
She certainly wasn’t that kind of coward.
"I... I get it, I’ll work hard, I’ll try my best to overco it..."
"Old Jin, you’re right, it’s just a few bottles of alcohol. If I don’t even have the courage to take in alcohol, I’m not fit to seek revenge at all."
"I’ll just drink it!"
So in the end, the young girl eventually made up her mind.
She hadn’t yet overco her fear of alcohol, but at least she had the determination to face her nightmares.
As for what cos next, she would leave it to fate.
