3: The radiance of god-level talent will blind your eyes!
Below the stage.
"What on earth is Qin Yun doing? Everyone else is almost done drawing, and he's just standing there like a fool! Is he praying?"
"With his family background and no financial backing from any faction, he probably can't even afford 10 gold coins, let alone 100!"
"Exactly! Does he think praying will let him get a super F-Rank talent for free?"
According to national regulations, the initial Beast Tamer trial can only begin after all students have completed their talent and skill draws!
Only after completing the trial can they choose their future paths—whether to attend a Beast Skill vocational school, join a Beast Tamer guild, or enlist in the military—provided they are accepted!
"Qin Yun, everyone's time is precious. Hurry up and start your draw!"
Seeing the students' discontent, the supervising teacher immediately urged him on, especially since Liu Xiaoran was already looking displeased. If this heaven-favored girl was unhappy, his bonus would be cut in half.
But Qin Yun paid no heed. Weren't there still two guys next to him drawing as well?
Once the talent draw had started, unless he ended it himself, no one could interrupt it.
Qin Yun continued with his ten-thousand-draw spree. Spending 900,000 gold coins only took about ten minutes.
...
[Ding! Congratulations on drawing the SSS-Rank talent—Ten Thousand Poison Essence!]
...
Huh?
An SSS Legendary-level talent!
And it's a talent perfectly suited for Toad-type beast companions!
If he chose this talent, he would undoubtedly shock the entire nation!
Throughout the Great Xia, Beast Tamers who have drawn SSS-Rank Legendary talents are few and far between. To date, the entire Great Xia has only recognized four Legendary Beast Tamers!
The leader of the Chilin Guild is one of those Legendary Beast Tamers!
The other three are the Grand Commander of the Great Xia Military Beast Corps, the leader of the Yanlong Guild, and the head of the merchant organization, the Zhao Cai Mao Beast Firm!
But the next second...
Qin Yun still canceled the SSS-Rank Legendary talent without hesitation and continued with another ten-thousand-draw.
If others knew of this action, the entire nation would be in an uproar!
This is a Legendary talent!
And a very rare poison-type talent at that!
As everyone knows, potent poisons often have spreading and contagious properties. Talents of this type usually come with hidden area-of-effect damage, making them highly effective in large-scale battles.
Yet such an incredible talent was nonchalantly discarded by Qin Yun. What a waste!
On his fifth ten-thousand-draw, Qin Yun finally drew a unique, super-SSS Mythic-level talent!
[Ding! Congratulations on drawing the unique Mythic-level talent—Ten Thousand Beast Divine Soul!]
Qin Yun was ecstatic, his breathing grew rapid, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
Just from the name, [Ten Thousand Beast Divine Soul], he knew this talent was incredibly powerful, absolutely capable of perfectly matching any beast companion!
"This is the one!"
Qin Yun immediately clicked to confirm the talent.
The next moment...
A dazzling seven-colored divine light suddenly erupted from the beast god stone, shooting straight into the sky, blotting out the sun. For a moment, the world was bathed in nothing but those seven radiant hues.
And!
The seven-colored divine light continuously morphed into various legendary dire beasts, each ferocious and awe-inspiring. Vaguely, everyone seemed to witness the earth-shaking scene of ten thousand beasts roaring!
"What's happening? Why is the beast god stone producing such a phenomenon? This is utterly unprecedented, never seen or heard of before!"
The onlooking big shots were collectively speechless.
Since the dawn of the global Beast Tamer era, there had never been a case where the beast god stone erupted with such a world-shaking phenomenon.
Even when the four Legendary Beast Tamers of Great Xia drew their SSS-Rank Legendary talents back in the day, they only emitted golden light at most. Nothing like today, where seven-colored divine radiance enveloped the heavens and earth!
"Did someone draw a super-SSS Mythic-level talent?"
The high-ranking Beast Tamers from the Military Beast Corps were quite knowledgeable. They suspected that one of the three on the platform must have drawn the legendary Mythic-level talent, triggering this seven-colored phenomenon.
Since the invasion of dire beast monsters into the Blue Star World and the dawn of the Beast Tamer era, over a hundred years had passed.
During this period,
the powerful Beast Tamers born in Great Xia, generation after generation, had ventured into the dire beast world, uncovering some secrets.
Among them,
it was known that Beast Tamer talents could reach super-SSS Rank, defined as Mythic-level!
However, to this day, the highest talent a Human Race member had ever drawn was only SSS Legendary Rank. The Mythic-level remained a legendary, unconfirmed talent!
Some Legendary Beast Tamers had speculated that perhaps one needed to contract a Divine Beast to have a chance at drawing a Mythic-level talent. Otherwise, no matter how much gold was spent, it would be impossible.
In fact, the nation had secretly attempted this, having a Legendary Genius who had contracted an SSS-Rank beast companion draw with sufficient gold coins, but they still only obtained an SSS-Rank Legendary talent in the end.
Today!
It seemed they were about to witness history.
They just weren't sure if this phenomenon was truly caused by someone drawing a Mythic-level talent, as it was unprecedented!
"A Mythic-level talent? How is that possible? That's just an unconfirmed talent theory. How could it possibly be drawn here at Longhu High School!"
The representative from the Chilin Guild was also well-informed. He had heard the guild's big shots mention the Mythic-level talent more or less.
But they would never believe that a Mythic-level talent could be born here.
Besides,
the three students still drawing talents weren't Genius students, and they didn't have that many gold coins to spend.
The seven-colored phenomenon didn't last long, only about ten minutes.
During this time,
Qin Yun, through five more ten-thousand-draws, spent nearly ten million gold coins and finally drew the super-SSS innate skill [Infinite Devour]!
[Name: Infinite Devour]
[Rank: Unique Mythic-level]
[Effect:
Passive Effect: Can infinitely devour inanimate objects, including dire beast corpses, without any restrictions.
Active Effect: Upon activation, within a certain range, can devour everything, including target skill effects. Instantly devours and kills targets not exceeding the user's own Rank. Deals 50% fixed HP damage to targets exceeding the user's Rank. Cooldown: 30 seconds!]
Seeing the innate skill of the Golden Toad Divine Beast, countless expletives raced through Qin Yun's mind!
Instant kill on equal Rank!
Half HP damage when surpassing Rank!
This was simply Heaven-Defying!
The key was the cooldown time—only half a minute!
As far as he knew, even SSS-Rank innate skills had a cooldown of at least 3 minutes. This Divine Skill was invincible!
"What talents did you all draw?"
The big shots swarmed forward, eagerly surrounding the three to ask. The earlier seven-colored divine light had been too blinding; no one could clearly see their talent marks.
"Huh? I... I... I drew a B-Rank Paralysis talent!"
"I... I drew an A-Rank Berserk talent!"
The two nervously displayed their Beast Tamer talent marks. Strange talent symbols immediately appeared on their beast companions' foreheads.
But they had no idea what had just happened.
"And you?"
All the big shots turned their gaze to Qin Yun in unison.
There were only three people on the platform drawing talents. Since the other two were confirmed not to be the cause, it could only be Qin Yun!!!
"Pfft! What good talent could a Toad like Qin Yun possibly draw? At best, probably an E-Rank!"
"Right! I bet the divine light was just an anomaly from the beast god stone!"
"If Qin Yun actually drew the legendary Mythic-level talent, I'll stand on my head and take a shit right here!"
The students below whispered among themselves, discussing and mocking incessantly. Not a single one had any faith in Qin Yun.
Qin Yun had originally intended to keep a low profile and let them speculate to their hearts' content.
But unexpectedly, the Golden Toad Divine Beast's talent mark automatically manifested, directly blinding their dog eyes!
[Ding! First time a Human Race member has drawn a Mythic-level talent. Automatically manifested for all to behold!]
An incredibly complex talent mark, shimmering with seven-colored divine light, appeared on the Golden Toad Divine Beast's forehead. It was breathtakingly beautiful, inspiring endless imagination and yearning!
"Gasp!!! This!!! This!!! This!!!"
