Ye Chen looked at Feng Cang. The day for awakening hidden talents, huh? But his hidden talent had already awakened.
"I understand, Senior Feng," Ye Chen nodded toward Feng Cang.
He had no intention of revealing the details of his talent. Even if he did, Feng Cang probably wouldn't believe it. The news about Ye Chen defeating Wu Yun had spread like wildfire in the new student area. In the night, Ye Chen struggled to sleep, contemplating when he could replicate a powerful talent.
...
The next day, Ye Chen woke up early. Today was the day for new students at White Cloud Intermediate Academy to awaken their hidden talents.
The awakening of hidden talents took place in the awakening room of the new student area. Ye Chen noticed that all the students were heading in the same direction, so he followed.
Upon arriving at the awakening room, Ye Chen found it crowded with people.
"Who do you think is the strongest genius in our new student area, Ye Chen or Feng Yun?"
"I think it's Ye Chen. He knocked down even the senior students with a single punch on the square yesterday."
"Let's see their hidden talents first. Having high cultivation talent doesn't necessarily make you the strongest genius."
The students were discussing animatedly.
Ye Chen joined the line, which had become quite long. The students placed their hands on a large machine. If someone had a hidden talent, a machine would approach them to awaken it.
However, most students didn't have hidden talents.
"Name: Zhang Er."
"Hidden Talent: Second-rate Speed Talent."
The detection machine made a sound, and then the awakening machine covered Zhang Er's head, awakening his speed talent. Although it was only a second-rate speed talent, it brought immense joy to him.
Several more students with hidden talents were awakened, but they all had second-rate power, speed, defense, or other talents.
Next up was Feng Yun.
Feng Yun had attracted everyone's attention on the square yesterday when he detected a high cultivation talent. All the new students looked at Feng Yun.
Feng Yun nervously placed his hand on the detection machine.
"Name: Feng Yun."
"Hidden Talent: Second-rate Power Talent."
The students were stunned when they heard the machine's announcement.
Second-rate power talent?
This was an excellent attribute talent.
The awakening machine initiated the awakening of Feng Yun's hidden talent.
Feng Yun's face lit up with excitement. A second-rate power talent was enough to make him the number one among the new students.
Afterwards, more than a dozen students without hidden talents were disappointed.
Ye Chen watched as the line approached Luan Qianqian. He had bestowed an Ice Talent upon her, and he anticipated that it would shock these students.
Finally, it was Luan Qianqian's turn.
Her heart pounded with excitement, as one could never be certain about hidden talents.
She placed her hand on the detection machine, and the hidden talent was displayed.
"Name: Luan Qianqian."
"Hidden Talent: Ice Talent."
Gasps echoed.
Ice Talent?
This was a natural elemental talent!
Not only the students, but even the three Grandmaster-level teachers were astonished. Ice Talent was something they had never expected.
Jiang Lan, Luan Qianqian's teacher, was secretly delighted. With Ice Talent, Luan Qianqian was undoubtedly the strongest genius among the new students.
On the other hand, Feng Yun's expression darkened. He had thought he was the strongest genius, but now, a student with Ice Talent had emerged.
Observing the shocked reactions of everyone in the awakening room, Ye Chen's lips curled up slightly. This level of surprise was precisely what he had anticipated.
