Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Divine Endowment

...

"Number 24, Li Gou'Er, please come to the stage."

Most of the classmates awakened with ordinary white talents emitting a white glow, occasionally a green one, and except for Xiang Bai, there were no others with blue.

White is the norm, green is a surprise, and blue is a pleasant surprise.

Of course, there are those who awaken and those who do not, like Li Gou'Er at the back seat, who failed to awaken his talent.

"Number 29, Chen Lu, please come to the stage."

As Chen Lu's fingertip touched the Talent Awakening Stone, a dazzling purple light burst forth in the classroom.

"Excellent."

Cao Xianzhi was overjoyed and couldn't help but exclaim loudly.

It was purple, not just any purple, but a deep purple.

A single purple talent wouldn't make the Talent Awakening Stone shine so brightly; only two purple talents would make the light so dazzling and brilliant.

It was seen that Chen Lu's pupils transformed into a distinct black and white Molan.

Chen Lu awakened the Mo Lan Chen Family's [Molan Eye].

[Molan Eye, a Purple Epic, Beast Master talent, consisting of two pupil techniques: Molan Mechanism Technique and Molan Protection.]

Molan Mechanism Technique: Anything seen can be assembled into a movable mechanical mechanism.

Molan Protection: Transforms into a Molan to shield oneself, possessing absolute defense; as long as the pupil power isn't depleted, the enemy cannot break the Molan.

Cao Xianzhi nervously asked, "Is the other talent a Beast Master talent, or a Breeder talent?"

A Beast Master talent would be fine; if it was a Breeder talent, the Breeding Class teacher would come to poach because who wouldn't be envious of a purple talent, especially such a grand double-door purple refrigerator?

Chen Lu frowned slightly, "It's both a Beast Master talent and a Breeder talent."

In the awakened talents, there's a special type that encompasses the effects of both Beast Master talent and Breeder talent.

Cao Xianzhi smiled; as long as it was classified as a Beast Master talent, no one could take his student; no one would have an excuse to take his student.

Chen Lu turned around and was startled, glancing back; under the podium, all eyes were filled with envy.

With two purple talents, as long as he doesn't die, he will undoubtedly achieve the status of Overlord under the King in the future.

Li Cunxu could foresee that after school, the Chen Family members would undoubtedly come to take Chen Lu, and he would then transition from an ordinary branch to a core member.

This was the consistent practice of bloodline families.

While bloodline talents are good, the Alliance actually prefers civilian geniuses who haven't awakened a bloodline talent.

Bloodline talents provide immense convenience in the early stages, but in the later stages, they become the greatest hurdle.

For those with bloodline talents, the difficulty of breaking through to King level is five to ten times that of those without bloodline talents.

Breaking through to King level is already challenging, and with the added difficulty of a bloodline talent, it becomes exceedingly difficult, with very few able to succeed.

This is evident from the number of King Beastmasters in the Alliance, where only one out of every three King Beastmasters comes from a noble family; the other two hail from commoners.

Actually, not awakening a bloodline talent isn't a big deal; after reaching King level, a Beastmaster can forge a bloodline talent of their own, often more powerful than an awakened bloodline talent.

"Number 30, Li Cunxu, please come to the stage."

It was Li Cunxu's turn, and with an excited heart, he stepped onto the podium.

The moment he touched the Talent Awakening Stone, time seemed to stop.

In reality, time didn't stop; Li Cunxu's consciousness accelerated to the point where it created the illusion that time around him had stopped.

[Do you wish to use the Divine Destiny Pearl]

A line of text appeared before him.

Divine Destiny Pearl?!

Li Cunxu's breathing suddenly quickened, his pupils dilated, his blood surged, and his heart thumped uncontrollably.

This heaven-defying item actually crossed over with me.

The Divine Destiny Pearl was Li Cunxu's reward for defeating the final boss and completing the main storyline of "Divine Royalty."

The effect of the Divine Destiny Pearl is so powerful, it's considered heaven-defying.

Its effect is to randomly awaken a unique legendary talent.

The so-called unique talent will only appear once in the world; unless the owner dies, no one else can ever have it.

"Use it."

Li Cunxu said with a trembling heart.

[Use successful, congratulations on awakening the Gift of the Gods.]

Gift of the Gods?

Gift of the Gods!!!

Li Cunxu remembered this talent, and he gasped.

He unexpectedly awakened it randomly!

Li Cunxu knew the Gift of the Gods talent, having fought against the time projection of the final boss, the Black Prisoner, who possessed this talent.

In the game lore, the Black Prisoner, due to his extraordinarily terrifying potential, was known by the "Future Seer" among the Time Observers. Fearing the Black Prisoner's terrifying talent potential, the Future Seer conspired with numerous final bosses of the time to trap the Black Prisoner, whose spatial abilities weren't yet perfected, into a black prison created by a giant black hole.

[Gift of the Gods, Golden Legend (Unique), Beastmaster talent, grants a pet beast a talent with infinite growth potential.]

The awakening of the unique talent didn't cause a stir because the Talent Awakening Stone couldn't detect it.

Thus, the unique talent is also called the 'Colorless Unique.'

"Divine things conceal themselves; good thing, wait, not a good thing; without the light from the Talent Awakening Stone, it seems that in others' eyes, I haven't awakened any talent."

Li Cunxu was both happy and worried.

The next second, the worry dissipated as the Talent Awakening Stone glowed blue.

"Even after using the Divine Destiny Stone, I can still awaken a talent. And by luck, it's a Blue Rare talent."

"Uh... excited too early, it's a Breeder talent."

[Fertile Pasture, Breeder talent, Blue Rare, makes a pasture extremely fertile, bearing rich fruits and thriving livestock.]

Cao Xianzhi asked, "What type of talent is it?"

Li Cunxu hesitated for a moment, contemplating whether to disguise it as a Beastmaster talent, and after some thought, he decided there was no need. Even if the awakened talent was a Breeder talent, one could still become a Beastmaster, though perhaps not held in high regard by others.

Moreover, disguising it as a Beastmaster talent would require hiding the Fertile Pasture, which means not using it. The Fertile Pasture talent needs a pasture to be deployed, revealing itself inevitably once it's put to use.

To hide it means Li Cunxu would have to never use it in his lifetime.

Leaving a talent unused is not much different than having never awakened it, especially a Blue talent.

Spoiling something valuable is bound to invite divine retribution.

"Breeder talent, Fertile Pasture."

Cao Xianzhi looked a bit disappointed, why is it a Breeder talent? If it were a Beastmaster talent, he would have harvested a good seedling of one purple and two blues, surely over-achieving his performance indicators this year and securing a spot for an outstanding teacher award.

If Li Cunxu knew Cao Xianzhi's thoughts, he might say, "Teacher, you're still too young. That purple card among the one purple and two blues, you wouldn't be able to keep it, nor would the school."

This purple card would most likely be taken by a school with better educational resources.

Cao Xianzhi said, "Would you choose to become a Beastmaster or a Breeder?"

Li Cunxu replied without a hint of hesitation, "Beastmaster."
