Soft steps approaches, A girl has her head tilted and walking nervously
The clan elder scolds
"You're late Song Cao"
I could of sworn she was from Caomei Clan near the east. She matched their values so well never thought she would be from this clan. You wouldn't know it but behind those black glasses, she has long eyelashes
Song Cao bows her head and deeply apologizes
Xian Shi commands
"Step up"
She raises her head and promptly does as commanded
"51 cun, 4 dun"
She's 170 centimeters and 60 kilograms
The fabric of her white cheongsam tugs against her skin. If she was on Earth, she would of been a well paid model.
She briskly returns back after the measurements
Xian Shi voice booms through the town
"Commencing the talent ceremony"
As the talent ceremony starts, everyones parents gather around the Miao waiting to hear good news
"We will test your talent by handing you a small trace of Gu and seeing how long you can hold it"
I lasted about 32 seconds last time
"There will be a gong beat and every time it beats and you last through it, we will add a tally mark. Anywhere between 0 to 30 beats means you have no talent, 31 to 40 beats means you have little talent, 41-60 beats means you have average tier, 61-70 beats means you have good talent, 71-100 beats gives you exceptional talent"
The gong beats approximately every second, and that guy, Heng Heto, was the sole person who lasted past the 100 second mark.
"I doubt anyone will get exceptional talent, I've only seen 2 people from our clan was blessed by that and I am one of them"
The Bartlett pear doesn't affect talent, so I highly doubt my talent will change.
Well maybe, my talent will change. This timeline has been altered by someone.
I noticed the clan leader staring intently at Wei Han
The clan leader scoffs
"Wei Han you're up first"
All the chatter happening has gone quiet as Wei Han steps up.
I see as Xian Shi extracts a minuscule amount of his Qu and hands it to Wei Han
31 people felt terrified by the force and immediately scurried away
Those people have no talent
It feels like time slows as Wei Han holds the Qu seemingly unfazed. He slowly swirls the Qu around his fingertips. As the beats get louder and louder, I see a single drop of sweat form on Wei Han's head. The beats intensifies further and soon Wei Han isn't able to contain the Qu
"83 beats, exceptional talent"
I look around to see the faces of the teens shocked and some looked terrified. I see the gazes of parents wishing they had borne him. Wei Han parents' puff their chest and say
I hear his father proudly exclaim
"That's my boy"
His mom is short, and his father is slightly average. Both his parents have average talent as well
How did they borne such a monster?
The ceremony continues, 26 people get little talent, and around 40 people get average talent
"Gao Ye"
She nervously steps up expecting a bad result, but I know she will have good talent
She takes a moment to breathe and soon takes the Gu
"66 beats"
Her face gleams and she lets out a small smile
I clap for her being the only one to do so
With a calming smile, I say
You did great
She rushes to my side and gives me a warm hug and slowly nuzzles against my shoulder
I pat her on the head
I hear murmurs as she holds dearly onto me and then someone shouts
"Go get a room!"
Wei Han comes up to me and says
"She's the only one to receive better than average talent besides me"
I can feel Gao Ye's face burning up in embarrassment
He then jokes
"Is that your girl"
I can feel Gao Ye's face heating up even more
I stay silent and let off a smile
Wei Han smiles back and he softly proclaims
"You two look good together"
Gao Ye's face pretty much melts off
A couple more people pass, 4 of which get little talent and 2 more receive average talent.
"Hito Gaoy, you're up"
