Wu Xinghan's misjudgment resonated through the hall, rendering Bai Zian momentarily speechless. The mythical talent [Eye of Apocalypse], a wondrous anomaly, had been inaccurately categorized as the S-level [Super Intuition] talent. This unforeseen turn of events prompted Bai Zian to ponder the enigma surrounding mythical talents.
Faced with this discrepancy, Bai Zian chose the path of discretion, opting not to rectify the misjudgment. A lingering uncertainty shrouded mythical talents — were they intentionally classified beyond the ordinary talent levels, concealing a hidden secret? Bai Zian sensed the need for caution, refraining from hasty revelations that might trigger unforeseen consequences.
Officially recognized as an S-level beast-fighting talent, Bai Zian found himself at the pinnacle of talent in Bailin City. The congratulatory echoes and well-wishes from classmates further intensified. As whispers of his newfound status spread, Bai Zian's aura of distinction grew, casting him as the most exceptional cub in the city.
Amidst the jubilation, Bai Zian and his fellow awakened candidates were gently ushered out of the awakening hall. The ceremonious exit marked the transition, making room for the next batch of candidates eager to unveil their talents. Outside, Bai Jingchong awaited, his paternal concern palpable.
"Xiao An, how does the talent mutation feel? Is there anything unusual?" Bai Jingchong inquired with a mix of curiosity and concern.
"Grandpa, I feel good, but it's a pity that I didn't utilize this opportunity to construct a space for imperial beasts," Bai Zian expressed, a hint of remorse coloring his voice.
Bai Jingchong, however, reassured him, emphasizing that the resources of the City Lord's Mansion could expedite the construction of the beast-controlling space. The missed opportunity paled in significance compared to the potential harnessed from Bai Zian's awakened talent.
Remaining by his grandfather's side, Bai Zian delved into the intricate functionalities of his [Eye of Apocalypse] talent.
Firstly, the intelligence investigation aspect of [Eye of Apocalypse] unfolded. Its ability to pierce through enemy intelligence seemed limitless. Bai Zian's revelation regarding the dormant divine beast demonstrated the profound depth of this talent.
"Master Bai, have you truly awakened your S-level talent?" A classmate, awe-stricken, sought confirmation.
"Yes, it appears so," Bai Zian nodded, the weight of his newfound status settling in.
His classmates, now in a mix of admiration and disbelief, murmured their congratulations, marking Bai Zian as a legend in the making.
Amidst the discussions, Bai Zian continued his exploration of the capabilities of [Eye of Apocalypse].
Secondly, the talent's treasure hunting feature came to light. [Eye of Apocalypse] guided Bai Zian's focus towards a nearby fire-type spirit beast, revealing its presence with precision. This extraordinary probing ability mirrored the mythical-level "Gold Finger," promising unparalleled advantages in discovering hidden treasures.
"Bai Shao, as you ascend to greatness, remember your old classmates," chimed in a friend amidst the surrounding chatter.
Bai Zian, content with the extraordinary potential of his mythic talent, acknowledged the only limitation — the current 10-meter detection range. Yet, he envisioned a future where the [Eye of Apocalypse] would expand its perception, making him an all-knowing force.
The mythical talent had bestowed upon Bai Zian a formidable arsenal, and the vision of his future growth resonated with promises of becoming a deity of omniscience. The sky-defying effects of [Eye of Apocalypse] left Bai Zian in awe, embracing the boundless possibilities that lay ahead.
As Bai Zian immersed himself in the exploration of his awakened talent, his classmates, still in awe, observed from a distance. Bai Jingchong, standing steadfast by his grandson's side, watched with a mix of paternal pride and anticipation.
"The mythical-level Eye of Apocalypse is really amazing and can bring me great help," Bai Zian remarked, expressing his enthusiasm for the newly discovered talent.
Bai Jingchong nodded in agreement. "Indeed, it's a remarkable talent. Make sure to explore its full potential, Xiao An."
As Bai Zian delved further into the [Eye of Apocalypse], he became increasingly delighted with its capabilities. "Grandpa, the more I learn about this talent, the more amazed I am. It's going to be a game-changer for me as a beastmaster."
Bai Jingchong, observing his grandson's excitement, offered some advice. "Take your time to understand it thoroughly. It might hold secrets that could prove crucial on your journey."
Meanwhile, the awakening ceremony continued around them, but Bai Zian's focus remained on his own revelations. However, the sudden cry of a phoenix drew their attention.
"The voice of the phoenix, the fire of the phoenix shape—this is the talent vision of the S-rank talent [Feng Yan]," Bai Jingchong commented, providing insight into the significance of the event.
Bai Zian, catching on quickly, muttered, "S-level talent [Feng Yan], is this the talent of Little Phoenix? This is a bit unexpected."
As Bai Jingchong continued to share his observations, Bai Zian couldn't help but reflect on the earlier bet he had with Feng Qianyu. "Looks like our little bet is a draw now," he thought.
Feeling a bit disappointed by the turn of events, Bai Zian decided to cut his losses. "It's boring, grandpa, I'm going home first," he informed Bai Jingchong, ready to depart.
"Okay, go back and practice well," Bai Jingchong responded, adding some practical advice. "This is the key to the treasure house of the city lord's mansion. Get some Lingbi crystals—they'll be very helpful for building the space for the imperial beast. Also, let Bai Zhi and Bai Shao follow you. Don't act alone."
Thankful for the guidance and resources, Bai Zian expressed his gratitude. "Thank you, grandpa," he said, appreciating the support and protection offered by the two golden beastmasters.
As Bai Zian left the awakening plaza, he mulled over the events of the day. The unexpected turns and revelations had added a new layer of complexity to his beastmaster journey. With the key to the treasure house and his trusted retainers by his side, Bai Zian headed back to the City Lord's Mansion, eager to continue his exploration of the mythical Eye of Apocalypse.
