Chapter 6 The Secret of the Jiuzhou Federation, The Seed of the Ancient Tree of Life
[Species]: Seed of the Ancient Tree of Life (Life-type)
[Talent]: Life Leap (SS)
[Aptitude]: Primary Divine
[Skills]: Talent Awakening (Gold), Life Force Plunder (Orange), Revival of the Withered (Orange)…
[Description]: A seed of the Ancient Tree of Life, its SS-level talent, Life Leap, can promote biological evolution and assist humans in awakening their beast-taming talents. (Note: Due to the lack of divine material and sufficient nutrients, the seed of the Ancient Tree of Life is unable to grow and remains in a dormant state.)
“Hiss! The awakening divine stone of the Jiuzhou Federation is actually a spirit beast, and not just any spirit beast but one at the divine level, a mythical beast from legends.”
“Moreover, the seed of the Ancient Tree of Life possesses dual SS-level talents, a golden divine-level skill, and many orange high-level skills.”
“Once the seed of the Ancient Tree of Life awakens, it will definitely bring huge troubles.”
“How is this possible? Are the leaders of the Jiuzhou Federation playing with fire, or do they not even know about this?”
Bai Zian’s pupils contracted as he stared in shock at the projection of the awakening divine stone above the Awakening Hall, momentarily speechless.
Because he realized that he had unintentionally discovered a shocking secret.
The divine stone, which had helped countless beast tamers awaken their talents and created the prosperous era of beast taming—considered a cornerstone of the Jiuzhou Federation—turns out to be a spirit beast at the divine level in disguise.
And this spirit beast even possesses divine-level skills.
This revelation was stunning.
Spirit beast skills were divided into six levels: white for ordinary skills, green for beginner skills, blue for intermediate skills, purple for advanced skills, orange for top-tier skills, and gold for divine skills.
As for whether there were any legendary skills beyond that, Bai Zian wasn’t sure, as such knowledge was beyond his current reach.
However, divine skills could already be considered the pinnacle.
This demonstrated the formidable nature of the seed of the Ancient Tree of Life.
Hence, Bai Zian was so shocked.
But then again, did the leadership of the Jiuzhou Federation know that the awakening divine stone was actually a dormant divine beast’s offspring?
If they were aware, that would be somewhat reassuring, indicating they had some awareness of the situation.
If they were unaware and merely regarded the seed of the Ancient Tree of Life as a treasure, then its future awakening might pose a significant hidden danger.
After all, the Ancient Tree of Life had a top-tier skill called “Life Force Plunder.” If it were to be activated, it could undoubtedly cause a massive catastrophe.
Bai Zian suddenly realized that this world of beast taming might not be as simple as he had imagined.
“All students, please line up according to your student numbers and register your awakening status.”
While Bai Zian was lost in thought, the examiner’s voice rang out, organizing all the candidates to register their awakening status.
The registration needed to record whether candidates had awakened their beast-taming talents and what abilities their awakened talents possessed.
This was necessary for the Jiuzhou Federation’s management of beast tamers.
Bai Zian had no objections to this and began queuing up.
“Bu Yingcai, affiliated with Bai Lin City No.1 High School, Class 3-1, awakened talent: D-level enhancement-type talent [Strength].”
“Zhao Jiade, affiliated with Bai Lin City No.1 High School, Class 3-1, awakened talent: C-level enhancement-type talent [Speed].”
“An Xiuman, affiliated with Bai Lin City No.1 High School, Class 3-1, awakened talent: A-level element-type talent [Wind Spirit].”
The Jiuzhou Federation naturally had methods for identifying talents, and students who had just awakened their beast-taming talents could not hide their talents from the Federation.
This was one reason why the Jiuzhou Federation dared to allow the children of aristocratic families and special sects to participate in the awakening ceremony.
Likewise, Bai Zian’s situation likely couldn’t be concealed.
Of course, while Bai Zian didn’t want to draw attention, he had no intention of hiding either.
Only students from humble backgrounds needed to hide their talents because they lacked the powerful backgrounds and resources to protect themselves while still weak, forcing them to find ways to conceal their abilities.
However, Bai Zian had no such concerns.
Given his background, he was among the strongest in the entire world of the Ten Thousand Spider Nests.
His grandfather, Bai Jingchong, was one of the seven city lords in the entire world of the Ten Thousand Spider Nests.
One could say his grandfather was one of the most powerful beings in this world.
Under such circumstances, what shadowy force would dare target him?
Anyone lurking in the shadows who set their sights on Bai Zian would likely be crushed by Bai Jingchong the moment they stepped foot in Bai Lin City.
Thus, Bai Zian had no need to worry about anything.
Pretending to be weak? Not a chance.
He was on the path of a prodigy.
Therefore, Bai Zian had nothing to fear.
Soon, it was Bai Zian’s turn to register his talent.
Bai Zian reached out his hand and placed it on the identification device.
“Bai Zian, affiliated with Bai Lin City No.1 High School, Class 3-1, awakened talent: beyond A-level, outside identification range, unable to be identified, possibly related to A-level psychic-type talent [Intuition].”
The identification machine emitted a mechanical voice, causing the examiner and the candidates present to be stunned.
The identification machine’s inability to identify a talent was quite unusual.
For a moment, the examiner was at a loss and reported the situation.
Soon, the person in charge of the examination site, Wu Xinghan, arrived.
“So that’s how it is; this is normal. The identification machine can only identify beast-taming talents below S-level.”
“The manifestation of talent anomaly during awakening is a hallmark of S-level talents. Coupled with its relation to the A-level talent [Intuition], it should be identified as the S-level talent [Super Intuition].”
“All right, record it as such.”
“Bai Zian, affiliated with Bai Lin City No.1 High School, Class 3-1, awakened talent: S-level psychic-type talent [Super Intuition].”
Wu Xinghan assessed the situation and drew his conclusion.
He had already been aware of Bai Zian’s circumstances.
After all, during Bai Zian’s awakening, both he and Bai Jingchong were watching outside.
Moreover, Wu Xinghan was from the Jiuzhou Federation and was well-versed in matters regarding S-level talents!
However, S-level psychic-type talents were incredibly rare, even on the Origin Star!
Thus, Wu Xinghan could only define Bai Zian’s beast-taming talent as the superior form of the A-level talent [Intuition], the S-level talent [Super Intuition]!
This was Wu Xinghan’s thought process!
Therefore, Wu Xinghan made his judgment and concluded the matter.
Throughout the process, Bai Zian couldn’t even get a word in.
By the time Bai Zian realized what had happened, Wu Xinghan had already left.
My mythical-grade talent was mistaken for an S-level talent [Super Intuition]. What a huge misunderstanding.
Bai Zian was at a loss for words.
