On the high platform, Yun You placed her right hand on the Awakening Stone as instructed by the examiner.
In theory, the "Red Scale" on the back of the little girl’s hand should be part of her power and couldn’t be hidden.
But for so reason, she couldn’t sense Master Zero’s presence in the Ethernet, nor could she see the Red Scale on her hand, so naturally, there was no risk of exposing this scale.
"The guy Nocturne is just ’quasi-limit level,’ yet could obtain a purple talent... I wonder what kind of talent I, being at ’limit level,’ can get."
Yun You was quite expectant.
She closed her eyes and slowly began to feel the power of the Awakening Stone.
In an instant, her consciousness roared and fell into a pure white ocean, being freely washed by towering waves.
It is said that this place is a spiritual world only Extraordinary ones can reach, known as the "Sea of Souls."
The function of the Apprentice Death God Awakening Stone is to guide people to the depths of the Soul Sea, allowing the spiritual waves to train the awakener’s soul and bring forth the Sur Particles and Talent Ability.
This process is not painful; instead, there’s a sort of indescribable pleasure that makes one feel warm, like soaking in a hot spring...
Very soon, Yun You was imrsed in the awakening process.
Of course, all of this, whether the ocean or the feeling of hot springs, was just her subjective sensations.
To outsiders, the little girl was rely standing in front of the Awakening Stone, quietly touching the surface with her hand.
"Buzz~!"
After a few seconds of silence, a white light abruptly appeared, erupting from the Awakening Stone!
It was so dazzling that it enveloped the entire high platform and even spread to other areas, drawing more onlookers’ attention.
Previously, the light when Nocturne awakened was already blinding, but compared to Yun You, it was like comparing a firefly to the bright moon, completely different in magnitude.
"A white talent, eh..."
Gazing at the white light shooting skyward, Xi Zi silently thought, "This matches the test level shown by Wu Ming."
"But why is this light so intense? It seems such a situation has never occurred before..."
As she pondered, the light suddenly changed color, from milky white turning into sky blue.
"It’s changing, changing again!"
The onlookers exclaid.
In daily life, they had never seen such a scene.
Usually, even if a genius obtains a rare talent, blue or purple light appears directly, never like this, rising from white light.
The occurrence of this situation can only be explained in one way.
That is... the tester’s soul is too "peculiar," causing the Awakening Stone to be unable to define it imdiately, hence the color change.
"Where did this girl co from? She actually qualifies for the Blue Talent... I rember there are only 6 Blue Talents in total this week? Remarkable..."
A young Apprentice Death God watching quietly voiced his admiration, not without the intent to recruit.
Though the Blue Talent is the lowest grade among rare talents, it still garners a lot of attention, and those proud Death God teachers are willing to take in students with such talents.
After all, even so, it is a one-in-a-hundred existence.
"No, no..."
Another Apprentice Death God wearing a hood widened his eyes, murmuring, "It’s not a Blue Talent... the light is still changing!"
"Look quickly!"
As the words fell, people were shocked, instinctively raising their heads, only to find that the light on the Awakening Stone was changing once again.
A coquettish purple suddenly erged from the cracks.
Initially, it was just an insignificant glow, but in the blink of an eye, it crept over the entire giant stone like poison injected into blood.
An Elite Talent appeared!
"Purple... how could Wu Ming have a purple talent?!"
Xi Zi’s heart pounded wildly, filled with disbelief like the other onlookers.
The little girl had just demonstrated a level before her that was rely "barely passing the assessnt."
For such a person to gain even a Blue Talent would be extraordinary, let alone a purple talent.
The examiner and the onlookers found it incredible.
Even Li Cang, seated peacefully below the platform, couldn’t help but stand up.
"Impossible, such a physically frail little one should theoretically never achieve a purple talent."
"That defies the norms of Soul Awakening."
Li Cang kept pondering, seemingly trying to rationalize his guesses.
But only he knew this wasn’t from a place of reason...
He thought so simply to refuse to acknowledge that Old Jin’s apprentice Yun You was qualified to be called "Elite."
Li Cang’s own student had a purple talent; if Yun You also possessed a purple talent, what right did he have to mock Old Jin?
So he could only hope it was a malfunction of the Awakening Stone, praying Yun You’s talent was ordinary and was "mistakenly recognized" as purple due to unexplained issues.
But just then, the seemingly stable Awakening Stone began trembling again and started changing color...
"How... could...?"
Li Cang’s eyes widened in disbelief at the further changes of the Awakening Stone.
"Could it be..."
He instinctively swallowed, seemingly realizing sothing as his lips paled slightly.
Li Cang didn’t say the complete sentence, but the onlookers knew what he ant to express.
"Could this girl... still possess a golden talent?!"
But no one dared to believe such a reality.
Because almost all users in the Ethernet never witness the arrival of a golden talent in their lifeti.
Speaking of existing golden talent holders, the chance of appearance is almost "one in a hundred thousand," aning among a hundred thousand Apprentice Death Gods, one could possess a golden talent.
Major Nest Cities produce tens of thousands of Apprentice Death Gods each year, so theoretically, one top-level talent should erge every few years according to the one-in-a-hundred-thousand probability.
However, the reality is that the appearance of golden light is completely unpredictable; sotis it wouldn’t be seen for decades.
Therefore, people find it hard to believe that Yun You, who barely passed the assessnt, could have such a level of talent.
It is both unfair and unreasonable.
Yet the ever-changing light seems to affirm that the ergence of the golden talent has beco inevitable.
It can’t even be described as "good fortune" anymore; only a miracle can express its incredulousness...
