Chapter 97 is not level 5, not level 6, but...
"What are we going to the Talent Tower for?"
"Test your extraordinary talent."
Xiao Weiqing frowned. "Teacher, my..."
Ning Xing laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm not trying to find out the secret of your extraordinary talent, I'm just retesting your level."
"I saw your innate skill yesterday, and several teachers also had a general idea of your extraordinary talent. Originally, Teacher Sun was supposed to take you there when he had time, but your current performance is too frightening, and I need to confirm it."
Xiao Weiqing asked, "Teacher, what are your guesses?"
Ning Xing walked quickly and replied, "Teacher Sun said that your Samadhi True Fire should have three abilities or three forms, and your extraordinary talent level is definitely more than level 3, otherwise there is no way to explain your cultivation speed."
Xiao Weiqing nodded upon hearing this, "Teacher, your judgment is correct. My Samadhi True Fire is divided into three types of flames, each with a different focus. I currently only master two of them."
Ning Xing was not surprised. "Then that's right. From now on, don't mention it to anyone except Teacher Sun. Teacher Sun has a deep understanding of the extraordinary. You can ask him if you don't understand anything."
"I understand, teacher."
"Okay, let's go, we're almost there."
A few minutes later.
The two arrived at the foot of a tower.
The height of this tower is unknown, but it soars into the clouds.
The tower is constructed from massive, dark gold stones, many of which are inscribed with text, giving it a solemn and dignified appearance.
Xiao Weiqing wondered if it was just his imagination, but the tower seemed to be alive, with a divine radiance flowing around it.
"Come on, keep up."
Ning Xing led Xiao Weiqing inside.
The scenery before me suddenly changed, becoming completely silent, as if I were in a vacuum.
Xiao Weiqing didn't have time to look closely before Ning led him into a circular pattern that looked like some kind of formation.
"Don't resist."
Swish!
A flash of inspiration.
The two figures disappeared.
next moment.
The two appeared in a magnificent, golden hall.
The dome is high and far, reflecting the starry sky, which is dotted with countless stars. Looking up, the starry sky is slowly turning.
Beneath my feet are warm, smooth stone slabs, pure white and flawless, with wisps of spiritual energy flowing through them as if they were alive.
The surroundings were empty, and the view from afar was somewhat unreal and hazy. In the center of the hall stood four mysterious jade pillars, exuding an aura of mystery.
"Teacher, where is this?"
Ning Xing said, "The very top floor of the Talent Tower."
"Oh? Old rascal Ning, long time no see. What brings you here?"
The two turned around at the sound.
Suddenly, an elderly man with white hair appeared behind them. He had long hair, wore a long robe, and had a mocking expression on his face.
Ning Xing said irritably, "Old ghost Ye, mind your manners, I'm here on business."
"Xiao Weiqing, this is Ye Zhen, the manager of the Talent Tower and one of the vice principals of the academy."
Xiao Weiqing quickly bowed and said, "Hello, Principal Ye."
"Hello there."
Ye Zhen nodded in response, glanced at Xiao Weiqing, and then ignored him.
"Speak up, what's the matter? You wouldn't come here without a reason."
Hi!~
"Old man Ye, I'm telling you, you're just a gatekeeper. Do you think this is your home? You think I can't come here?"
Ye Zhen laughed, "It wouldn't matter to anyone else, but I have to be careful with you. Back in the day, who was it that came here for the first time and thought of taking advantage of..."
"Stop, stop, stop! Don't say anymore. A hero doesn't dwell on past glories. My heroic deeds back then don't need to be publicized. Keep it low-key." Ning Xing interrupted Ye Zhen.
Xiao Weiqing glanced at Ning Xing from the side.
Good heavens, has my teacher become a thief?
"Fine, I won't say then," Ye Zhen said with a smile.
"Did you come here for this little guy?"
Ning Xing nodded, "Yes, I need to use the Awakening Stone."
"His skills are still far from sufficient."
Ye Zhen could tell at a glance that Xiao Weiqing's strength was still far from sufficient.
Ning Xing shook his head, "It's not an awakening, it's just a test of the level of extraordinary talent."
"Oh?"
Ye Zhen became interested. "What's so special about him?"
"Yes, a month ago, when Xiao Weiqing awakened his extraordinary abilities, he displayed a level 3 true technique. However, the power of his innate skill far exceeds level 5, and his cultivation speed is also far beyond that of ordinary people. He has now opened up his spiritual sea."
"really?"
Ye Zhen was shocked. Entering the second realm in just one month was a terrifying speed of cultivation.
"Of course I'd come here to tease you!"
"hurry up."
Ye Zhen nodded and casually waved his hand, revealing a pitch-black stone tablet in the open space beside him.
This gave Xiao Weiqing a sense of familiarity, as it felt somewhat similar to the Azure Dragon Stele.
"Xiao Weiqing, place your hand on it and infuse it with your flame," Ning Xing said.
"Okay, teacher."
Xiao Weiqing stepped forward without hesitation, stretched out his right hand, and touched the stone tablet. It was a little cool to the touch, not much different from the feel of ordinary stones.
Followed by.
Xiao Weiqing infused the fire energy.
The stone tablet emitted a buzzing sound, as if it had undergone some changes, but Xiao Weiqing could not tell.
Ning Xing had been watching the stone tablet closely, and after Xiao Weiqing infused it with fire and energy, he knew the outcome.
"As expected, it's not level 3, it's level 4."
Xiao Weiqing knew that Ning Xing was referring to his extraordinary talent level. With a thought, he added the essence fire again.
At this time.
Ning Xing raised an eyebrow. "Level 4?"
"Old Ghost Ye, what's going on? How come there's still a half-level?"
Ye Zhen glared at Ning Xing. "You're supposed to be the principal of a prefecture, and you don't even know this?"
"Xiao Weiqing's extraordinary talent level is increasing, and it will reach level 5 later. This situation is rare, but it is not unheard of."
Ning Xing suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Then it's a level 6 true technique. I've struck gold this time."
"What? Your apprentice?"
"That's right, just received it. What do you think? Impressive, huh?"
Ye Zhen shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Old man Ning, sometimes I really admire your luck."
"Luck? I just have a keen eye for talent," Ning Xing said smugly.
"Xiao Weiqing, that's enough, let's go."
"Okay, teacher."
The two left quickly without lingering.
Ye Zhen waved his hand, and the stone tablet disappeared again. "That old scoundrel, shameless indeed! He even dares to claim to have discerning eyes? Bah!"
......
"Xiao Weiqing, your extraordinary talent should be level 6."
Ning Xing recalled Xiao Weiqing's battle yesterday, and combined it with the test just now, and made a judgment.
According to Xiao Weiqing himself, he only mastered two types of flames. His extraordinary talent would reach level 5 true arts, and with the third type, he would definitely reach level 6 true arts.
Even though Ning Xing didn't pay much attention to the various universities in the Great Xia Dynasty this year, he knew that there were very few people with level 6 extraordinary talents, let alone true arts.
Xiao Weiqing was also a little excited at this moment, but he felt that Ning Xing had underestimated him.
He knew that the Samadhi True Fire could combine three into one, and if the energy of a single flame was already this powerful, the true Samadhi True Fire must be at least level 7.
"Teacher, I only just found out myself. I used to think that my cultivation speed was fast and my innate skills were strong. I always thought it was the result of my hard work. I never expected that it was still because of my talent in the end," Xiao Weiqing said helplessly.
"What's wrong? Feeling a little disappointed?"
Xiao Weiqing shook his head, his face suddenly filled with joy, "Teacher, I'm overjoyed, how could I be disappointed? Of course, the stronger the talent, the better. But no matter how strong the talent, it won't stop me from continuing to work hard."
"Hmm, that's good, you understand."
"Teacher, do you think my extraordinary talent level will keep increasing?"
Ning Xing took out a cigar and took a deep drag.
"What are you thinking? Extraordinary talent is at most level 6. Without a second awakening, level 6 is the upper limit."
"No exceptions?"
"no."
"Teacher, what exactly is a second awakening? Is there a third awakening? What's the highest level a talent can reach?"
Ning Xing said, "The highest recorded level of extraordinary talent is level 9, and only one person has ever reached that level."
"Who?"
