Second Talent

Innate Divine Abilities are not something every creature can possess.

As far as Zhong Qing knew, only after humans transcended the Returning to One Realm and achieved the Venerable Realm could they possess their own unique Divine Abilities.

However, Qilin Xiao Hei only awakened his first Divine Ability after he crossed the Chaotic Demon Sea.

Now, how much time has passed since then?

Less than half a year, and his second Divine Ability is about to awaken too?

"The innate talent of this clan is truly terrifying!"

Zhong Qing looked to the side.

He didn't rush to Phoenix Feather Sect but instead flashed directly into the Small World.

He felt that the awakening of Qilin Xiao Hei's second innate Divine Ability might bring him a surprise.

"Rumble..."

At this moment, within the totem space.

The flames on Qilin Xiao Hei's body burned even more intensely.

Even the void was scorched a fiery red.

The temperature was so high that even a typical Myriad Laws Realm first or second-tier expert would likely melt.

Yet, despite such terrifying flames, Xiao Ga did not feel the slightest discomfort.

Instead, he was excited.

His tiny body weaved through the flames.

It seemed the higher the temperature, the more excited he became.

Thus, after an unknown amount of time, Qilin Xiao Hei suddenly opened his eyes.

Two streaks of divine light shot out, accompanied by an extremely excited roar that echoed forth.

"Master, I have successfully awakened my second innate Divine Ability."

As he spoke, he suddenly shot out from Zhong Qing's arm.

His entire body began darting erratically through the void.

One moment, his figure was before Zhong Qing; the next, he had already appeared a hundred miles away.

Xiao Ga, who was perched on his back, was directly flung off.

He landed right in front of Zhong Qing, looking resentfully at Qilin Xiao Hei, who was constantly darting and leaping through the void.

His duck beak was so aggrieved it looked like it could hang several bottles of soy sauce.

Zhong Qing ignored Xiao Ga, who was resentfully complaining beside him, and instead looked with some emotion at Qilin Xiao Hei, who was constantly darting and swimming through the void like a fish.

"This Divine Ability seems quite extraordinary!"

If he weren't in the Small World, he truly wouldn't have been able to discover Qilin Xiao Hei's disappearing trajectory.

After Qilin Xiao Hei darted around for a while, he finally returned to Zhong Qing's front.

"Master, I have now awakened the Kirin Clan's second innate Divine Ability, Space Leap."

"With this Divine Ability, there are few places in the world that can trap me."

"From now on, Qilin Xiao Hei will definitely be able to serve Master even better."

"Big Brother, is this Space Leap very powerful?"

Xiao Ga asked innocently from the side.

In front of Xiao Ga, Qilin Xiao Hei adopted a completely different demeanor.

He held his head high, looking down at the bird with his nostrils.

"Nonsense!"

"This Space Leap is an extremely high-ranking Divine Ability, even among the entire Kirin Clan."

"It's not a question of whether it's powerful or not."

"It's super powerful!"

"If this Divine Ability can reach great success, then in this world, one step can reach the nine heavens, and one step can enter the netherworld. You tell me if it's powerful or not."

"Wow!"

Stars twinkled in Xiao Ga's eyes, filled with admiration.

"Big Brother is so amazing!"

"Xiao Ga wants to awaken an innate Divine Ability too!"

Qilin Xiao Hei scoffed, "You silly bird, how can an innate Divine Ability be awakened just because you want to?"

"Big Brother here once devoured a mass of Heaven and Earth Strange Fire, which greatly reduced his growth time and increased his origin."

"Only then did he achieve the feat of continuously awakening two innate Divine Abilities in less than half a year."

"As for you, whether you can awaken one or not is one thing, but if you can, it'll probably still take many years!"

"Hmph, Big Brother looks down on birds."

Xiao Ga said haughtily.

Then, he began to exert himself.

"Boom..."

A terrifying divine light erupted from Xiao Ga's body.

Behind him, a colossal figure appeared.

It was a Five-Colored Vicious Luan.

It was a hundred zhang long, with feathers of five colors, emanating a sky-shaking ferocity and an ancient, vast aura.

Zhong Qing looked to the side.

The Five-Colored Vicious Luan was a branch of the Phoenix bloodline, a mixed lineage, similar to the True Dragon's close relative, the Flood Dragon.

It also had a very significant origin.

This race was most active in ancient times.

It had once unleashed monstrous might.

There was even a legend that the progenitor of this race was an existence infinitely close to a Great Emperor.

He almost attained the Imperial Dao but was unfortunately born at the wrong time.

He competed with a reincarnated Great Emperor for the fortune of becoming an Emperor and was beaten to death, after which the entire race gradually declined.

Although the Five-Colored Vicious Luan progenitor failed to attain emperorship, the innate talent and strength of this race were undeniable.

As Xiao Ga continued to exert himself, something seemed to be gestating within his body.

Divine light flickered, and a misty aura permeated, with firelight dancing on his body surface.

Those were the flames that had previously erupted from Qilin Xiao Hei's body, but this little guy, for some unknown reason, was able to absorb them and use them for himself.

"Caw!"

With a cry from the Five-Colored Vicious Luan phantom behind him.

Something within Xiao Ga's body seemed to have directly awakened.

"Whoosh!"

His figure instantly vanished from its original spot.

Then, like a beam of light, he darted erratically within the Small World.

This startled Zhong Qing once again.

This little guy had truly awakened a new Divine Ability.

The speed was too fast.

Zhong Qing estimated that it wasn't far off from the true speed of light.

This, remarkably, was a Divine Ability related to speed.

After a quarter of an hour, Xiao Ga finally returned to Zhong Qing's front.

By then, the phantom behind him had disappeared, and he looked somewhat weak.

After all, although the Divine Ability was powerful, with his current cultivation, he truly couldn't activate it many times.

Despite this, Xiao Ga looked at Qilin Xiao Hei with an arrogant expression.

"Big Brother, I also have my own innate Divine Ability! This is the Extreme Speed Divine Ability!"

"Xiao Ga is very powerful too, right!"

Qilin Xiao Hei was somewhat surprised in his heart.

The Extreme Speed Divine Ability, even among all innate Divine Abilities, was almost on par with the Space Leap Divine Ability.

He hadn't expected this little guy to be able to awaken such a Divine Ability.

And at such a young age!

But as the Big Brother, he naturally couldn't show his surprise on his face.

He nodded.

"It's so-so. Although it's not as good as Big Brother's Space Leap Divine Ability, it's not bad!"

Only then did Xiao Ga become happy.

To receive praise from Qilin Xiao Hei was the happiest thing in the world for him.

Zhong Qing looked at this little guy, deep in thought.

Undeniably, there were indeed some races in the world with heaven-defying innate talents who could awaken Divine Abilities early.

But this guy, Xiao Ga, from birth until now, was definitely less than a year old.

There were races in the world that could awaken Divine Abilities at one year old, but they were definitely not the Five-Colored Vicious Luan race.

Although Qilin Xiao Hei's fire certainly helped, it wasn't the fundamental reason.

Zhong Qing opened his Heavenly Eye.

He wanted to see the strangeness about this little guy.

This observation truly revealed some abnormalities to him.

The result he obtained was that this little guy had mutated!

Among many exotic beasts, many carry the bloodline power of their ancestors.

This bloodline power is both an inheritance and proof of the strength of their innate talent.

As it passes down through generations, some bloodlines gradually become diluted.

But some bloodlines undergo a certain mutation, causing their bloodline to revert to their ancestors.

Of course, this probability is minuscule.

And this guy, Xiao Ga, was one of those minuscule few.

His bloodline directly reverted to his ancestors.

No.

Zhong Qing discovered another clue.

Xiao Ga's situation seemed to be more than just a sudden mutation and ancestral reversion; it was a mutation that occurred on top of ancestral reversion, followed by another mutation.

Under the circumstances of two mutations, his bloodline power seemed to have subtly surpassed that of his race's progenitor.

This was what allowed him, at the tender age of less than one year, to awaken his first innate Divine Ability.

And it also seemed to have completely removed this little guy from the scope of his original race.

Instead, he seemed to have become a completely new race!

"No wonder, when this little guy's ancestral totem appeared behind him earlier, I always felt that his appearance was vastly different from his own."

"Such a mutation that makes one's innate talent even stronger than the progenitor is an extremely rare existence throughout history."

"I didn't expect that this kid Qilin Xiao Hei's casually adopted little brother would actually be such a potential stock!"
