Chapter 283 Talent Unleashed!!!

Song Xingmian didn't know why she suddenly stepped forward and walked toward that giant stone pillar.

"I think I just heard a bit of... a familiar snoring sound?"

"Snoring?"

Zhang Lieyang frowned, not understanding the meaning behind Song Xingmian's words.

He looked at Chen Muqing suspiciously;

he also gradually realized that this guy was very suspicious, but he had no evidence.

"Miss Song."

"The light source is getting dimmer. We should leave first."

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Muqing finally spoke.

Song Xingmian didn't walk all the way to the giant stone pillar; she stopped.

She stared behind the stone pillar,

silent for a long time.

She just stood there,

looking into the darkness.

"Okay."

Her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. She turned around and headed toward the light source.

Zhang Lieyang followed behind her, and Chen Muqing followed as well.

Halfway there, she suddenly stopped, turned her head slightly, and glanced behind the stone pillar out of the corner of her eye.

"Whoever you are... thank you."

This time,

she no longer lingered,

and the cold white light swallowed her whole.

[Third Shackle · Physical Body — Broken]

[Rating: Average]

A familiar voice rang in Song Xingmian's ears.

When she opened her eyes again, she was in a vast white space.

No sky, no ground.

The voice didn't stop but continued:

[Final settlement in progress]

[Settlement complete]

[Clearer: Song Xingmian]

[Talent Rank: S-Rank]

[Talent Name: Resonance Radio]

[Personal Overall Score: 941 points]

[Final Ranking: 17th]

[Corresponding energy has been distributed to the Awakened Object]

"Talent Release..."

"Is it finally starting..."

Song Xingmian took a deep breath; she had expected this 17th place.

After all,

there were ten teams in the third stage, and there would definitely be quite a few teams that cleared it.

She was actually quite satisfied that her overall rating reached 17th.

Just as the figures of Song Xingmian and the other two completely disappeared,

a few seconds later,

on the other side, Chen Yu slowly stepped out from behind the giant stone pillar.

He first walked over to the three corpses, squatted down, and took off the demon-slaying gloves.

Then, a wisp of residual light was drawn from the wounds of the three, flowing along his fingertips into his palm.

One free attribute point obtained.

He immediately added it to Perception.

Only then did he walk step by step toward the top of the stairs.

"Whew..."

The ball of light hung at the end of the stone steps, a bit dimmer than before, but still rotating quietly. Barring any accidents, the ball of light would go out in another ten minutes or so.

At that time,

if anyone still hadn't cleared the stage, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He reached out his hand, and the moment his fingertips touched the edge of the light point, his world began to spin.

"Hum!"

When Chen Yu opened his eyes again, he was in a white void.

There was only endless, uniform whiteness.

Then, a virtual screen unfolded in front of him.

[Third Shackle · Physical Body — Broken]

[Rating: Average]

[Final settlement in progress]

[Final settlement in progress]

[Final settlement in progress]

"?"

Chen Yu's lips twitched. Why was the same thing being repeated so many times? And it was still going?

This scene was very eerie.

It reminded him of when he first awakened his Talent; it was just as inexplicable. He didn't think others received this kind of treatment...

After repeating about seven or eight times, the next prompt finally appeared—

[Settlement complete]

[Clearer: Chen Yu]

[Talent Rank: SSS-Rank]

[Talent Name: Grand Tutor Container]

[Talent Rank: SSS-Rank]

[Talent Name: Red Phoenix Tribulation Seat]

[Personal Overall Score: 6,989 points]

[Final Ranking: 1st]

[Corresponding energy has been distributed to the Awakened Object]

[Talent Release Rules:]

[1. After the release begins, the current Talent will push toward a higher level]

[2. If energy is sufficient and medium potential is enough, a promotion will occur]

[3. If surplus is insufficient or medium potential is insufficient, it will automatically terminate and convert into a release level card]

[Releasing Talent: SSS-Rank Grand Tutor Container]

The next second!

A faint golden pillar of light descended from the void, enveloping Chen Yu!

He looked down at his hands. His palms were glowing, and golden threads of light were spreading from his fingertips, climbing up his arms to his shoulders, and expanding across his entire body!

A progress bar popped up before his eyes...

[███████░░░░░░░░░] 42%

"It should be enough..."

[██████████████░░] 87%

"It should be enough..."

[████████████████] 100%

"Phew, thank goodness..."

Chen Yu was actually a bit afraid.

If his SSS-Rank Talent required too much release energy, that would be bad!

Fortunately, the first release was a success!

[Release Successful]

[SSSS-Rank Grand Tutor Container]

[Release surplus detected]

[Performing second release—]

"There's more?!"

Chen Yu's face lit up with joy as he waited for the progress bar to appear.

But the next second...

[Talent has reached the maximum limit of the Second Segment]

[Unable to continue release]

"..."

Chen Yu's lips twitched. There was actually a limit?!

How come he had never heard of this in his past life!

Well, it was normal not to have heard of it...

But this was such a waste; there was clearly release surplus left!

Just as Chen Yu was secretly cursing the Road to Survival, the prompt rang out again:

[Detection of Second Talent]

[Release surplus automatically transferred]

[Releasing Talent: SSS-Rank Red Phoenix Tribulation Seat]

From hell to heaven in just three short sentences!

Chen Yu became extremely excited.

No matter how calm he usually was, at a time like this, he couldn't maintain his composure.

The golden pillar of light descended from the void once more, enveloping him.

On the edge of his vision, the Red Luan list popped up automatically—

Deng Yuxin, Wang Mengmeng, Yang Kexin, Zhang Wanyue, Li Mengyao, Shen Qingci, Lin Yue, Qiao Xi, Lu Xiaoyu, Liu Manqing, Song Xingmian.

Eleven names, eleven connections,

each one vibrating slightly within the golden pillar of light.

He didn't even blink, staring fixedly at the progress bar: 1, 2, 3, 4...

[█████░░░░░░░░░░░] 28%

[████████████░░░░] 74%

[████████████████] 100%

"!!!"

Chen Yu swallowed hard.

The pillar of light suddenly contracted.

New text appeared line by line on the virtual screen.

[Release Successful]

[SSSS-Rank Red Phoenix Tribulation Seat]

[Release surplus detected]

[Performing second release—]

[All current Talents have reached the maximum limit of the Second Segment]

[Converting release surplus into a corresponding release level card]

[Conversion complete]

A small grayish-white card drifted down from mid-air and landed in Chen Yu's palm.

[release level card (D-Rank and below)]

Description: A grayish-white card with obvious cracks along the edges. The pattern in the center of the card is a mass of gray mist, and it feels almost weightless in the hand.

Effect: Upon use, allows any D-Rank or below Talent to complete one release promotion.

"D-Rank?"

"And below?"
