" What ! Five hundred and nine ankhs of soul energy just after awakening ,that guy must be from one of the big families I reckon ; that's the only explanation for this . "
" According to what I heard it seems to be Bai zhaoran ,the Sion of the Bai family . His ability talent was said to have reached the peak of transcendent grade , nearly bordering on legendary grade ! "
What was the concept of legendary grade talent ? At the very least every individual who awakened a legendary grade talent would go on to become an important figure in the Cosmic Earth Federation without fail .
" Wow ! Being from a big family sure gave him a head start above others."
" Yeah , only those with a similar background can possibly hope to compare ."
Conversations of this nature were ongoing everywhere in the registration hall.
Frozen stiff , both Dongfan Yue and Pang Pengyou had a dumbstruck expression plastered across their faces , with Pengyou's face turning redder by the minute due to embarrassment .
" Hehe , who could have guessed that there actually was someone with a soul energy level of over five hundred ankhs ?
You know what , let's get going and maybe get a drink along the way or something . "
Well you couldn't really blame Pengyou now , this Bai Zhaoran coincidentally popped up at the wrong time .
As one of the three most powerful families in Shongai, the Bai family possessed tremendous amounts of resources ; thus the ease at which geniuses emerged from their family .
Bai Zhaoran being the only son of the current family head granted him access to various high grade elixers , attendance to the most elite high school in Songhai , coupled with the specially curated training he had gone through , today's result were pretty normal .
BAM !!!
" OUCH MY BUTT ! Why the heck did you kick my butt ?"
" Don't know, just made me feel better ."
Furiously rubbing his buttocks , Pang Pengyou glared at Dongfan Yue who was already making his way out of the Origin ability association .
" Hey , wait up . "
Catching up to Dongfan Yue , Pang Pengyou massaged his aching butt while looking aggrieved .
" You are the most awful person to seek for a consolation you know ."
" What the hell do you mean by that , this grandpa here has a wealth of experience you can't possibly fanthom , do you know how many people queue up to receive my sagely guidance am definitely more than qualified ."
Arguing till they got out of the association's building Dongfan Yue had to exasperatedly remind Pang Pengyou about the drinks the planned to go for previously in order to stop his ranting ; " Hugh , let's just go get the drinks ."
" Humph, let's go to old Bao's place then , heard he has a small gift today ."
" Old Bao's place it is then ."
.....
The Shanlong restaurant was one of the most popular gathering hotspot for youths in the city of Songhai , actually calling it a restaurant was some why misleading as an internet cafe would be more apt.
Originally started by Bao Renaming as a retirees past time , the restaurant soon ventured into providing entertainment services for youths seeking a release for their pent up energy . And what better game other than Cosmic battle arena ; a VR , MMORPG , mecha themed game developed by Nova soul Inc.
Piloting a mech was a dream many had but few could realize , just the initial cost of the most ordinary of mechs was something most couldn't afford . There were only two places where piloting mechs was possible either in the military and those galactic big families or in the duelling grounds of the Cosmic battle arena.
Even the military and those galactic big families and clans employed the Cosmic battle arena as it was suitable for training battle skills .
The decision old Bao made those years back was surely one of the best he made ever as the business was a total success , other businesses that adopted the idea could only follow in the Shanlong's restaurant wake , picking up literal crumbs.
" Hey old man how's business been ? "
" Exceptional lad ,say fatty Pengyou you're now an ability user right ?"
" Yeah , that's why me and my friend came here to celebrate , give me two bottles of the strongest stuff you've got ."
" Sure you and your friend can handle that ?"
" Yeah , right Dongfan ? "
Nodding his head in approval Dongfan Yue was thinking about the peculiarity of yesterday night's events ,he was starting to feel that the result he got in the association's registration hall tidy was intricately tied to the black lightning that struck him yesterday.
Glancing at the motionless Rubik's cube in his soul sea he felt a mystique like vibe emanating from it , making a mental note to properly study it when he got back home Dongfan Yue proceeded towards a vacant table with Pang Pengyou as they waited for their drinks .
" So , what are your plans concerning your choice of institution ?
" Well ,my uncle said he could get me a spot in a military academy somewhere , so maybe am just going to coast on that for now ."
" You must be kidding right ,you fatty Pengyou of all people planning to serve in the military , the heavens must have rained pigs yesterday ."
" Believe it or not , I really am going to apply for a military academy , probably into the star troopers though a mech piloting major would definitely be awesome . "
Giving a mock salute Dongfan Yue said ;
" Well, good luck General Pengyou , I look forward to you conquering the stars ."
" Your mockery of this Great general has been noted and you shall be court martialed ."
Puffing up his chest as he said this Pang Pengyou actually radiated a faint aura of heroism .
"Let's see , hmm... you are also going to apply for a military academy right ?"
" I can't really say , though a military setting does seem enticing enough ."
" Alright a toast to our grand future full of uncertainties ."
Klinking their cups together they both downed tle last drops of their drinks . Their friendship was inconceivable considering their differences yet it seemed just like any other thing ;naturally occurring.
