Ning Yuan ran across the river, crossed the broken wall, climbed the cliff, discerned the direction in the clouds and mist, looking for the final key.

From the beginning of entering the test, Ning Yuan has been doing tests one by one in accordance with the requirements of the system, from ordinary sports training such as running and jumping, to gun refining and sniping that are prohibited by ordinary citizens in reality, battlefield command and planning, which can only be regarded as a niche variety of extreme sports, as well as all kinds of knowledge assessment, material identification, equipment assembly, etc., which can only be accessed by all kinds of professionals.

If you encounter items that you are not good at or are not sure of during the test, you can skip them at any time, and you can give up the test and enter the final link of "talent guidance", which is the purpose of this talent test.

And now, after Ning Yuan tirelessly tried all the projects, he finally came to the last level of the test, "Qimen Knowledge".

"The second cadre on the left is stepping, and the third is on the left and the first is stepping forward."

"The first one and the right three are out of place, stepping."

In the mist, Ning Yuan's five fingers kept pinching, his brows were sometimes furrowed, sometimes calm, and an inexplicable luster flashed from time to time in his fairly clear eyes.

After a whole hour of groping, the clothes of Ning Yuan's mimic incarnation in the temptation and cracking were completely soaked, the half-length black hair was stuck to the sideburns, and the layers of fine salt crystals on the not handsome face reflected the crystal fine light in the light that occasionally passed through nowhere.

"It's finally over." Ning Yuan's five fingers were slammed, and a touch of relief appeared on his face full of fine sweat and salt.

"The right five kun position. Fortunately, this last level is just within what I have learned, otherwise ... In his own words, Ning Yuan stepped out and stood still.

The moment Ning Yuan stood still, the surrounding clouds and mist inexplicably dispersed to both sides of Ning Yuan's line of sight, and a high platform appeared in Ning Yuan's eyes.

The high platform is about nine zhang high, and there are steps that extend to the front of Ning Yuan. Aside from the high platform and steps, only the void remained in Ning Yuan's sight.

The test is over, and the "Talent Guiding Table" is in front of you.

Ning Yuan carefully counted the steps extending from the platform, and found that it was just one zhang and nine steps, the number of ninety-nine.

Ascending the high platform, there is a jade lotus platform in the center of the platform with a radius of ten zhang, quietly suspended in mid-air three feet above the ground. This is the talent lotus platform. All the talents are displayed above the lotus platform through the light of the lotus seeds and the projected images.

Walking up to the talent lotus platform that was about nine feet square and three feet high, Ning Yuan looked at the twelve lotus seed holes exposed on the lotus platform, and an inexplicable look flashed on his face.

Talent lotus platform twelve holes, this is a well-known thing among all the races of the stars. Twelve lotus holes indicate that a living being can exhibit up to twelve awakened or unawakened talents.

The number twelve in the stars basically symbolizes the limit of the talents of ordinary beings. Of course, some gods and innate races that have disappeared into mythology are not counted. Huangsheng, which is also a special phenomenon of the stars, is also not counted.

The unexpected ability of the realm line does not count towards the talent, although there is arguably no essential difference between the two.

In addition to the fact that there is no record of the time from the birth of the first god "disk" to the appearance of the first acquired being, from the age of mythology to the current era of the end of the law and the subsequent era of vitality, although civilizations and races have died out many times, some knowledge and history have been relatively complete and have been handed down. This includes the measurement of talent.

The term "talent" first appeared in the middle and late stages of the mythological era, when innate beings lived and studied under the protection of innate beings. From the mouth of a congenital deity named "Xi".

Legend has it that the deity who was responsible for educating the acquired souls at that time found that although the acquired beings were not like their innate gods and races, they also possessed qualities that the innate beings did not have, especially the "humans" among them. That's spirituality and creativity.

The god "Xi" called this acquired quality "talent".

Yes, the original word "gifted" referred to the qualities of an acquired being, spirituality and creativity.

The word gifted has been given the meaning of the qualities of living beings since its birth. But it really began to be used as a term to distinguish the individual qualities of living beings in the age of the immortals.

There is also a name for the "talent" in the era of immortals, which is called "spiritual root". Only those who have spiritual roots can cultivate and become immortals. Only those beings with particularly powerful spiritual roots can possess powers that are not inferior to those of the innate gods on the basis of "immortals".

The subdivision of talent also officially opened in this era.

Although the three "Tian Yuan Changes" have changed the civilizations and creatures of the stars one after another, it is incredible that in terms of writing, there is not much difference between all civilizations. This has been of great help to the later creatures and civilizations in studying and inheriting the legacy of the previous era.

Having said all this, what I want to say is that from all known records, from the age of mythology to the present era of the end of the Dharma, there are only a maximum of twelve sentient beings, and none of all sentient beings can exceed the upper limit of twelve, including Huang Sheng.

And there are only two existences that have reached the limit of twelve talents, one is the immortal emperor of the Xianxia era, and the other is the demon god of the immortal god era.

There may have been such a existence in the mythological era, but at that time, the talents had not yet been refined, and some traits that were called talents in later generations were nothing in the eyes of the gods and innate beings, so there was no record left.

As for the present day and age, two hundred years ago, all the beings of the stars did not know what talent measurement was. In the era of the end of the law, the vitality of heaven and earth was so thin that it was almost none, and the conditions for the generation of extraordinary power were basically eliminated. In this case, the so-called talent is just an adjective such as "natural power", "swift as the wind", or "unforgettable", "lazy voice".

It wasn't until the emergence of the "Void Realm" and the awakening of the "Ruins Lord" two hundred years ago that the beings of the stars once again saw the existence of extraordinary power.

And it is precisely because of the emergence of the Void Realm that talent measurement has meaning in the era of the end of the law.

Ning Yuan looked at the twelve lotus holes in front of him and guessed his talent.

After waiting for a while, the first rays of light finally erupted from the jade lotus platform.

Red light rose from the lotus hole on the left side of the lotus platform and spread into a light curtain in the air three zhang high, and a white spine appeared in the light curtain. The spine is as straight as a gun.

This is the first talent that Ning Yuan calculated. The talent name is "Spear Spine".

"Adaptable to physical gifts?" Ning Yuan looked at the spine in the red light curtain and said softly.

"Gun Spine. That means I have a power bonus when I use a gun? But I don't know if it's a refining gun or a spear? There is also no one explanation. Ning Yuan frowned slightly and said to himself.

Just as Ning Yuan was thinking, a second ray of light appeared on the lotus platform.

This time, the light was silver, erupting from the lotus hole in the center, spreading into a silver curtain of light in the air nine zhang high.

Ning Yuan took a few steps back in surprise and looked up at the image displayed in the light curtain.

"Guy?!" Ning Yuan was puzzled, the light curtain was indeed a rune glyph composed of half real and half imaginary, symbolizing yin and yang and the "yao" of change.

Ning Yuan looked at the name of the talent: "Yan Yan".

"Is there a talent for mental thinking? Yayan? Derivative mental abilities? Ning Yuan frowned and guessed, "If that's the case, it's a talent that matches 'Sunset' quite well." And at this height, it seems that the potential of this talent has reached a limit. ”

The color and height of the talent light symbolizes the category and potential of the talent.

Talent rays are divided into red, silver, and blue. Generally speaking, red light is a physical talent, silver light is a spiritual talent, and blue light is a special talent.

Similarly, the height of the talent light is usually one to nine zhang, which represents the development potential of the talent. One zhang is the ordinary potential, and the nine zhang is the ultimate potential.

Ning Yuan is quite satisfied with the two talents that have appeared so far, especially the "Yanyan" talent. If it was really as he had guessed, this talent would probably become his most important and most suitable talent.

Talent is the trait and potential of an individual being, and has nothing to do with the subjective will of the living being, such as its character and temperament. Therefore, although the number of talents and the potential of talents are important, the talents that are in line with the minds of living beings are equally important.

"I don't know how many talents I have?"

Just when Ning Yuan was guessing whether his talents were only these two, a third light lit up.

This time it is the red light, that is, the physical talent, and the potential height is five zhang. The pattern that appears in the light curtain is a muscular arm.

The most common talent that is not quite in line with Ning Yuan's heart: "Strong".

"Powerful" is also known as "innate divine power". This is one of the most common and practical talents for force-type creatures. But for Ning Yuan, what he would prefer to appear is another similar talent, "fitness".

To be honest, there is no strong carrier of strength, the stronger the better, and the power beyond one's control will often drag itself down.

The "Strong" talent is pure strength, and this talent can only reach its maximum potential when combined with the "Fitness" talent.

In the available information, the powerful talent of pure power can be divided into five stages: "bull power, tiger power, elephant power, dragon elephant power, and divine power". The first four phases have instances, while the powerful talents of the fifth stage belong to legends and speculations.

And the beings who have reached the third and fourth stages of the strong talent in the record all have matching fitness talents. None of the possessors of a strong talent who does not have the talent for fitness can reach the stage of elephant power, even if the talent potential reaches the limit.

In the records of history, there is a lesson in the Xianxia era where the owner of the "powerful" talent with the highest potential rushed to the elephant power and collapsed physically.

It is precisely with such lessons and lessons that there are attempts to replace the talent of "fitness" with various body exercises.

But how to say it? An attempt is not considered a failure, but it is not a success either. Although the body refining exercises can produce an effect that is no less than the talent of physical fitness, the consumption of medicinal materials can be called as terrifying, especially the several top-level body refining exercises in the records. The effect is slightly less than that of the fitness talent holder, both in terms of ability and potential.

The most important thing is that the effect of refining the body itself is inferior to that of the talent owner, the resources consumed are terrifying, the time required is long, the energy is large, and the process is particularly painful. And if you are not careful, you will hurt yourself.

To put it simply, it is difficult for people with great perseverance and wisdom to bear this thing of refining the body.

Although the body refining method has been prosperous for a long time in history, even if there are a large number of cultivators in the army and the people in this era of the end of the law, there are almost no truly top-level body cultivators in the records. Cultivators who can compare to even those with medium-potential fitness talent are rare existences.

Oh, as we all know. Refining the body is one of the few exercises that can be cultivated when the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is thin. Of course, most of the things that have been handed down today are some crude and body-strengthening things.

The effect is that it is a little stronger than ordinary people, and the strength is a little greater, and even the lower limit of physical fitness talent cannot be reached.

The advantage is that it is safe, the process is not painful, the resources consumed are also within the tolerance range of most living beings, and you can give up cultivation at any time.

Therefore, Ning Yuan hopes to have a "fitness" talent in the physical talent rather than "strong". In Ning Yuan's view, among all the physical talents, only "fitness" is the most basic and core talent, and there is no one. Even if you put it into all the categories of talents, the "fitness" talent is always at the core.

There is a saying that has been handed down in the last two eras of practice: "Cultivation is the sea of suffering, the physical body is the boat that crosses the sea of suffering, and the spirit (soul) is the oarsman on the boat." Only a sturdy boat can be ferried by the oarsman in the sea of suffering. ”

For this sentence, Ning Yuan agrees very much.

In the era of the end of the law, talent doesn't matter. But in the new era that has now been faintly opened, Ning Yuan really hopes that he has the popular but core talent of "fitness".

Although the third talent disappointed Ning Yuan, the fourth talent gave Ning Yuan a lot of comfort.

A six-zhang high silver light, in the light curtain is a pair of indifferent eyes, the pupils are one gold and one silver, and the pupils are reflected with runes symbolizing the crown and the yin.

Psychic talent: "Alien Eye." ”

This talent is also documented, and the categories are very broad, both spiritual and physical, and it also exists in the special class.

In fact, Ning Yuan's father was a strange-eyed talent. However, his father's strange eyes do not exist in the records of the stars. My father called it "the silver eye of delusion", and his ability is to see through all falsehood and destroy demons and evil. Of course, this is a manifestation in the void. In the reality of not much vitality, it is just a pair of demonic silver eyes that ordinary people shudder at a glance.

"The most common spiritual alien talents are Yin and Yang Eyes, Heavenly Eyes, and Qi Eyes, and less common are Phantom Eyes, Void Eyes, Translation Eyes, extremely rare Kongjian Golden Pupils, Omensy Blue Eyes, and Heart Control Double Pupils." Ning Yuan looked at the golden and silver eyes in the light curtain and thought, "My talent for different eyes seems to be the most common yin and yang eyes, but it feels a little different. I remember that the yin and yang eyes on the talent book were black and white eyes. However, the pattern representing the pupil is exactly the same, both the crown and the yin. ”

"Maybe it's some kind of mutated type of yin and yang eyes." Ning Yuan guessed.

"The four talents, at least out of the category of ordinary people, have reached the level of so-called talents." Just as Ning Yuan was muttering to himself in an inexplicably mocking tone, the fifth light lit up.

"Yo, five talents, this is the standard of genius." Ning Yuan chuckled strangely and raised his eyes to look at the red light curtain.

The pattern on the light curtain is a pair of bare feet separated from the front and back, and like "strength", it belongs to one of the most common physical talents, "swiftness". The height of the light is three zhang.

Ning Yuan pursed his lips and said to himself with an inexplicable expression: "Whether it's strong or fast, I don't seem to have found out that I have a specialty in this area?" It can't be ignored just because I'm a liberal arts student, right? ”

"It's almost over." Looking at the lotus platform that had not spewed light for a while, Ning Yuan sighed without knowing whether to be disappointed or relaxed.

Just as Ning Yuan was about to leave the talent platform, a pillar of blue light rose into the sky, reaching Jiuzhang.

"What?!" Ning Yuan was startled, looked at the lotus hole on the far right of the lotus platform, and then looked up in amazement at the blue light curtain that was flush with the light curtain of the word "Yao", but the strange thing was that there was nothing on the light curtain except a fog.

"What's going on?" Ning Yuan said in some shock, and then came to his senses and looked at the name of the talent.

Talent Name: Unknown.

"How is that possible?!" Ning Yuan's incarnation's heart tightened suddenly, and his pupils shrank.

"Can't even the system of the Void be parsed?"

Ning Yuan lowered his head and thought for a while, then his eyes flashed, and he left the talent platform without any hesitation.

At the moment of teleportation and departure, Ning Yuan caught a glimpse of the talent lotus platform disappearing without any warning. It seems that even the innate lotus platform itself, which doesn't know where it exists, has a premonition of something, and retracts the projection.

Yes, the Innate Lotus does not exist in the Void Realm, and naturally it is not a product of the Void Realm.

What exactly is the Talent Lotus Terrace? Neither in this era of the end of the Dharma nor in the last two eras that have disappeared, few living beings know about it. The sentient beings only recorded the way to summon the projection of the Talent Lotus Platform and the role of the Talent Lotus Platform, but did not have the slightest record of what the Talent Lotus Platform itself was.

Referring to the beings in the Void Realm, all that can be determined is that the Lotus Deck is a treasure that is no less than the Void Realm, and it has the same wisdom as the Void Realm, that is, it has the same machine spirit as the Void Realm.

Because although the talent calculation is carried out in the virtual realm, it seems that the system built by the ruin master is operating the content and results of the test, but in fact, everything is carried out in the illusion of the talent lotus platform.

Let's put it this way, all talent calculations are equivalent to dream illusions, and the manifestation in reality is that the talent lotus platform maps the projection of the talent lotus platform to the sea of consciousness of all beings according to the prayers of all beings, and all beings generate avatars in their consciousness to complete the calculation and know their own talents.

The external manifestation is actually that the living beings lose their minds and are stunned for a while.

Since the Void is originally equivalent to the world of the soul, this projection becomes the soul incarnation of the living beings in the special individual void area of the Void Realm.

The advantage of this calculation is that you can accurately recognize your own talents with the help of the system, and you don't need to guess or look up the talent atlas, even if it is some unknown or mutated talents, you can also make a certain calculation through the name of the talent under the analysis of the system, such as Ning Yuan's "Yanyan".

As for the disadvantage, the talent of living beings will be recorded, and some special talents or unknown talents such as Ning Yuan's last appearance are easy to cause trouble and attract some unnecessary attention.

But thankfully, talent calculations are only calculations, and guiding awakening is entirely up to the creatures themselves.

Even in the records of the last two eras, the vast majority of those who fully awakened and developed their own talents were ordinary people with only one or two talents, and a considerable number of them were able to fully awaken because their own talents were equivalent to racial talents. Such as the "swift" and "silent" talents of the kitten family.

Most of the other creatures with more than two talents are unable to awaken all of their talents, and even if they do awaken all of them, they rarely develop all of them to the maximum of their potential, for various reasons.

Therefore, although special and unknown talents will attract some attention and may cause some trouble, sentient beings are still willing to calculate with the help of the system.

But that means in general when there are no surprises. Ning Yuan is a special case this time. Not because of the potential of the talent, nor because the talent is an unknown talent of specificity.

The key is in the "unknown" of the talent name of the system.

As long as it is an undocumented talent that the system can parse, the system will give a directional talent name based on the content of the analysis. For example, "Yanyan". "爻" itself is a talent rune, and "Yan" is the direction analyzed by the system, and the combination of the two becomes the talent name "爻Yan".

And Ning Yuan's last talent trouble was that the system couldn't parse it at all, and there wasn't even a talent rune, and the entire light curtain was just a chaotic fog at that time. This means that the starting point of the talent itself is higher than the apex of the system's ability to parse.

You must know that the system of the Void Realm is built by the ruin master, as a talent that cannot be analyzed by comparing the systems built by the ruin master who have left a name in the last two cultivation eras, which can be called peerless powerhouses, this will arouse the curiosity of many people.

So when he saw that the name of the talent displayed by the system was unknown, Ning Yuan subconsciously chose to teleport away.

When he teleported back to the hall of the personal void area, Ning Yuan's heart was still pounding, and Ning Yuan, who had been stunned for a while, barely calmed down and immediately realized a lot of trouble that might come next.

However, when Ning Yuan, whose brows were twisted into a pimple, checked the talent record again, he was stunned.

After a long time, Ning Yuan let out a sigh of relief and muttered: "Six talents, no, five talents to start, more than the upper than the bottom." ”

Immediately relax completely:

"So be it. Build an avatar into the void. ”
