Chapter 105: Further Enhancement of Talent

Ye Xuan pondered for a moment and asked, “How can one get on the Dragon Ranking? By completing relevant missions?”

Lin Xu shook his head and replied, “Tasks are only one aspect. The most important factor is talent! After the Dragon Plan started, everyone was given an initial score. The initial score depends entirely on one’s talent. Additionally, by completing missions assigned by the country, one can earn more points. However, the number of points obtained for the same mission varies based on one’s talent. The higher the talent, the more points one can earn.”

Ye Xuan’s expression changed, “How is that possible? Isn’t that unfair?”

Lin Xu explained, “Indeed, it is unfair, but there’s no other way. We need to cultivate truly top-notch powerhouses. For those with low talent and potential, we can only make do with them. For example, in the Magic City, the official mission is to clear the mutated bat swarm. The reward for this mission is one hundred points. If an S-class Awakener completes the mission, they will receive exactly one hundred points. If an A-class Awakener completes the mission, they will only receive fifty points. If an SS-class Awakener completes the mission, they will receive two hundred points! The higher the total points obtained, the higher the ranking on the Dragon Ranking. Moreover, these points can be used to exchange for cutting-edge cultivation resources. Additionally, staying on the ranking each month will earn corresponding point rewards. This Dragon Ranking aims to select true geniuses and use the most precious resources to help them grow rapidly.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan’s expression changed. The disparity was huge. For the same mission, an S-class Awakener would receive one hundred points, while an A-class Awakener would only receive fifty points. An SS-class Awakener would receive two hundred points. If an SSS-class Awakener completed the mission, they would probably receive four hundred points. In other words, if Su Mengli completed one mission, her reward would be equivalent to an A-class Awakener completing eight of the same missions. It can be said that Awakeners with low talent may be able to complete more missions through hard work, but surpassing Awakeners with higher talent in terms of points is like climbing to the sky.

Such a setting also essentially ensured one thing: Awakeners who receive benefits will undoubtedly be SS or even SSS-class Awakeners. This setting is very cruel and unfriendly to those with low talent. However, there is no other way. Humanity faces great threats and must use this primitive survival of the fittest method to cultivate true elites. Of course, there may be one or two exceptional individuals with average talent who rely on strength and perseverance to climb the Dragon Ranking and obtain resources. Although the number of such people is definitely small, since they have made it to the top, the country will surely not go back on their word. They will give what is due. After all, sometimes, even people with low talent can create miracles.

With these thoughts in mind, Ye Xuan asked, “Dean Lin, has my talent already been reported?”

Lin Xu replied directly, “Yes, is there a problem?”

Ye Xuan immediately said, “Of course there’s a problem. On the way back this time, Mengli and I encountered an attack by mutated beasts. I witnessed so many humans being killed right in front of me. My heart was greatly touched, and I felt that my state of mind had grown, and my talent had undergone a second development. My talent should be higher than before.”

Lin Xu looked at Ye Xuan in astonishment, “Are you kidding me? You’ve developed again? You’re not joking, right?”

Ye Xuan shrugged and said, “I’m not joking. We’ll know once we test it, right?”

Lin Xu also became excited. If Ye Xuan’s talent had grown again, he would be an SS-class Awakener. In that case, Ye Xuan’s talent coefficient on the Dragon Ranking would be only half that of Su Mengli’s. With this, Ye Xuan would likely rank high on the Dragon Ranking. Lin Xu was naturally excited.

Then, Lin Xu directly took Ye Xuan to the research room to prepare to test his talent, while Su Mengli followed Ye Xuan.

As the three of them left, the boss’s wife from the Magic City Banquet immediately approached Lin Xu, “Dean Lin, I won’t pursue the matter of my dog anymore. Please don’t expell my son…”

Lin Xu was in a hurry to test Ye Xuan’s talent and had no time to waste on her. He directly slapped the boss’s wife, sending her flying. He cursed, “Get out of here. I don’t have time to deal with you now!”

Although Lin Xu had held back his strength with that slap, the force was still considerable. Her body flew sideways and hit the wall. Then, she slid down the wall, blood flowing on the ground…

Soon, Lin Xu and the others arrived at the research room. Lin Xu pointed to the large awakening spirit sphere and said, “Ye Xuan, go and give it a try!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan approached the awakening spirit sphere and placed his hands on it.

After a moment, a voice sounded from within the awakening spirit ball, “Student Ye Xuan, awakened ability is the Sky Dominator Body, rank is SS, and the development degree is 10%.”

Lin Xu was stunned, “Damn! Did your talent really develop?”

Ye Xuan’s face was filled with emotion as he said, “Of course, I felt it myself. Dean Lin, you didn’t know. On that train, I watched countless living beings turn into walking corpses and attack their own kind. My young heart was greatly touched. I felt that we humans cannot remain passive. I want to become stronger and protect humanity. Then, I felt a mysterious power fall upon me, and my talent evolved!”

As Ye Xuan spoke, he felt as if he had transformed into the Virgin Mary, radiating holy light and exuding an aura of compassion for all beings.

Beside him, Su Mengli wanted to laugh. She was by Ye Xuan’s side at that time, but she didn’t feel that her beloved had such delicate thoughts and was thinking so much.

However, she also knew that it was not right to ruin her boyfriend’s moment. She held back her laughter. She must hold it in! She absolutely couldn’t laugh!

Lin Xu looked at Ye Xuan up and down. Did he really misjudge this kid? Was he truly a selfless person who would sacrifice his life for others?

Lin Xu also had some other thoughts. This kid, after witnessing the killing of his own kind, his talent went from S-class to SS-class. Should he find another opportunity for him to experience it again? Of course, it couldn’t be the people of China. The pressure on them was already great, and many people had fled to China. These people were not good people. How about capturing a group of them, creating an opportunity, and then slaughtering hundreds or even thousands of these little devils in front of Ye Xuan? If it really worked, then the deaths of these little devils would definitely be worth it!

Of course, this setting would not be friendly to the people of China with low talent.

But there was no other way. Humanity faced great threats and had to use this primitive survival of the fittest method to cultivate true elites.

Of course, there might be one or two extraordinary individuals with average talent who could climb the Dragon Ranking and obtain resources through strength and perseverance.

Although the number of such people was definitely small, since they had made it to the top, the country would surely not go back on their word. They would give what was due.

After all, sometimes, even people with low talent could create miracles.

Thinking this, Ye Xuan said, “Dean Lin, my talent has already been reported. What’s next?”

Lin Xu replied, “Next, we will arrange for you to join the training camp. There, you will receive systematic training and guidance to help you fully develop your potential.”
