Ning Yuan ran across the rivers, over the broken walls, and climbed the cliffs, discerning the direction in the clouds and fog, looking for the final key.

Since entering the test, Ning Yuan has been doing various tests in accordance with the requirements of the system, from ordinary running and jumping sports training, to including gun shooting and sniping prohibited by ordinary citizens in reality, battlefield command and planning, only All kinds of extreme sports that can be regarded as niche, as well as all kinds of knowledge assessment, material discrimination, equipment assembly and so on that all kinds of professionals will come into contact with.

In the test, you can skip items that you are not good at or are not sure about at any time, and you can give up the test when you feel that it is almost time to enter the final link "talent guidance", which is the purpose of this talent test.

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

"Step on the left second position, step back three left and one Sunda position, step."

"The first one left and three right, stepped."

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

After a whole hour of groping, testing and deciphering Zhong Ning Yuan’s mimicry incarnation’s clothes are completely drenched, with half-length black hair stuck to the temples, and layers of fine salt crystals on the face of not handsome, occasionally I don’t know where to pass through. The gleaming light reflected in the light.

"It's finally over." Ning Yuan counted five fingers, and a relaxed look appeared on his sweaty and salt-stained face.

"Five Kun from the right. Fortunately, this last level is just within what you have learned, otherwise..." Ning Yuan stepped out and stood still.

The moment Ning Yuan stood still, the surrounding clouds 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 feet high, with steps extending to the front of Ning Yuan. Except for the high platform and steps, only the void was left in Ning Yuan's sight.

The test is over, and the "talent guide" is in front of you.

Ning Yuan carefully counted the steps extending from the stage, and found that it was exactly nine steps, ninety-nine steps.

Ascending to the high platform, there is a jade lotus platform quietly suspended three feet above the ground in the center of the ten-zhang-circle platform. This is the gifted lotus platform. All the talents will be displayed on the top of the lotus platform through the light sprayed by the lotus seeds and the projected image.

Walking to the talented lotus platform about nine feet square and three feet high, Ning Yuan watched the twelve lotus holes exposed on the lotus platform with an inexplicable look.

The talented lotus platform has twelve holes, which is a well-known thing in all the races of the stars. The twelve lotus holes indicate that a creature can show up to twelve awakened or unawakened talents.

The number twelve basically symbolizes the limit of the talents of ordinary sentient beings in the stars. Of course, certain gods and innate ethnic groups that have disappeared in mythology are not counted. The bright life, which is also a special phenomenon of the stars, is also not counted.

The brilliance abilities accidentally produced by the boundary line are not counted in the scope of the talent, although the two can be said to have no essential difference.

Except for the time when the stars from the birth of the first **** "pan" to the emergence of the first post-natural beings did not leave any records of text and images, from the age of mythology to the present age of doom and the following age of revival, civilization Although the He race has died out many times, some knowledge and history are still relatively complete. Among them is the calculation of talent.

The term "talent" first appeared in the middle and late stages of the mythological era, when the born creatures survived and learned under the protection of the innate creatures. From the mouth of an innate **** named "Xi".

Legend has it that the **** who was in charge of enlightening the born creatures at that time discovered during a long period of observation and enlightenment that although the born creatures are not like their innate gods and ethnic groups, they are born with power and avenues, but they also have what the inborn creatures do not have. Traits, especially creatures like "people" in it. That is spirituality and creativity.

The "Xi" **** calls this acquired traits "talent".

That's right, the original term "talent" refers to the traits, spirituality and creativity of acquired beings.

The word talent has been given the meaning of the traits possessed by creatures at the beginning of its birth. However, it was in the age of immortals that really began to be used as a term to distinguish individual traits between creatures.

The "talent" in the age of immortals has another name called "lingen". Only those with spiritual roots can cultivate and become immortals. Only those creatures with particularly powerful spiritual roots can have power that is not inferior to the innate gods on the basis of "immortals".

The subdivision of talent is officially opened in this era.

Although the three "changes in the heavens" have changed the civilizations and creatures of the stars one after another, but it is incredible that in terms of words, all civilizations are not very different. This has brought great help to the less advanced creatures and civilization to study and inherit the legacy of the previous era.

Having said so much, what I want to express is that from all the known records, from the age of mythology to the present age of the doomsday, the talents of sentient beings are at most twelve, and none of the sentient beings can exceed the upper limit of twelve, including Huang Sheng. Inside.

And there are only two existences that have reached the limit of twelve talents, one is the immortal emperor in the age of Xianxia, ​​and the other is the demon **** of the age of immortal gods.

There may be such a existence in the myth age, but the talents at that time have not been refined. Some traits called talents in later generations are nothing in the eyes of gods and innate creatures, so there is no record left.

As for the current era, all the creatures in the stars didn't know what talent calculation was two hundred years ago. In the Age of Domination, the vitality of heaven and earth is so thin that it is almost non-existent, and the conditions for the generation of extraordinary power are basically eliminated. In this case, the so-called talent is just such adjectives as "natural power", "swift as the wind", or "unforgettable" and "sound of laziness".

It wasn't until the emergence of the "Void Realm" and the awakening of the "Market Master" two hundred years ago that all beings of the stars saw the existence of extraordinary powers again.

And because of the emergence of the imaginary world, the talent calculation was considered meaningful in the Age of Domination.

Ning Yuan looked at the twelve lotus holes in front of him, guessing about his talent.

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

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

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

"Is there a talent for adaptability?" Ning Yuan said softly, looking at the spine in the red light curtain.

"The spear spine. In other words, if I use a gun, there is a bonus to its power? But I don't know if it is a refining spear or a long spear? There is no explanation." Ning Yuan frowned slightly and said to himself.

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

This time the light was silver, ejected from the lotus hole in the center, and spread into a silver light curtain nine feet high in the air.

Ning Yuan stepped back in surprise, and looked up at the image displayed on the light curtain.

"Yao?!" Ning Yuan asked in confusion. The light curtain was indeed composed of half-solid and half-virtual runes, symbolizing yin and yang and the "Yao" of change.

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

"Is there a talent for mental thinking? Yaoyan? Inferring mental abilities?" Ning Yuan guessed, "If it is like this, it is a talent that matches'Xizhao' quite well. And at this height, the potential of this talent seems to have been reached. A limit."

The color and height of the talent light symbolize the type and potential of the talent.

The natural light is divided into three colors: 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's light is usually from ten feet to nine feet, which represents the development potential of the talent. Yizhang is the ordinary potential, and ninety-zhang is the ultimate potential.

Ning Yuan is still satisfied with the two talents currently appearing, especially the "Yaoyan" talent. If it is true as he guessed, this talent will probably become his most important and most suitable talent.

Talents are the traits and potentials of individual creatures, and have nothing to do with the subjective wishes of the creatures' personality and temperament. Therefore, although the amount of talent and the potential of the talent are important, the talent that meets the mind of the soul is also important.

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

Just when Ning Yuan guessed whether his talents were only these two, the third light was on.

This time it was red light, that is, physical talent, with a potential height of five feet. The pattern that appeared in the light curtain was an arm with swollen muscles.

The most common talent that doesn't fit Ning Yuan's mind: "powerful."

"Strong power" is also the so-called "natural power". This is one of the most common and practical talents for force-type creatures. But for Ning Yuan, what he hopes more is another similar talent "fitness."

To tell the truth, there is no strong carrier for strength. The stronger the better, the strength beyond your control will often bring you down.

The "power" talent is pure power, and this talent can only reach its full potential when combined with the "fitness" talent.

In the existing data, the power talent of pure power can be divided into five stages: "Null power, Tiger power, Elephant power, Dragon power and supernatural power". There are examples in the first four stages, and the powerful talents in the fifth stage belong to legends and speculations.

The existence of powerful talents in the third and fourth stages in the record all have matching fitness talents. There is no strong talent owner who has no fitness talents that can reach the stage of physical strength, even if the talent's potential reaches the limit.

In the historical records, there is a lesson that the "powerful" talent owner with the highest potential in the Xianxia era had a strong impulse and a physical collapse.

It is also with this kind of experience and lessons that there have been various attempts to replace the "fitness" talent with various exercises.

But how to say it? An attempt is not a failure, but it cannot be considered a success. Although the physical exercises can produce effects that are no less than the talents of physical fitness, the consumption of medicines is as horrible as gluttonous, especially there are several top-level physical exercises in the record. And the effect produced is slightly less than that of the fitness talent owner in terms of ability and potential.

The most important thing is that the effect of body refining itself is not as good as 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 a little carelessness will hurt yourself.

To put it simply, physical training is unbearable for people without great perseverance and wisdom.

Although the practice of body training has been prosperous in history, even if there are a large number of practitioners in the army and the civilian population in this era of the end of the law, there are few truly top body refiners in the record. Practitioners who can compare even those with medium-potential fitness talents are rare.

Oh, well known. Body training is a rare exercise that can be practiced when the vitality of the world is thin. Of course, most of the things that are handed down today are some crude physical fitness stuff.

The effect is that it is a little stronger and stronger than ordinary people, and it can't even reach the lower limit of fitness talent.

The advantage is that the victory lies in safety, the process is not painful, the resources consumed are within the tolerance of most living beings, and the cultivation can be given up at any time.

Therefore, Ning Yuan hopes to have the talent of "fitness" among the physical talents more than "power." In Ning Yuan's view, among all the physical talents, only "fitness" is the most basic and core talent, not one of them. Even if it is placed in all types of talents, the "fitness" talent is always the core.

There is a saying in the last two cultivating ages: "Cultivation is a sea of ​​bitterness, the body is the boat that crosses the sea of ​​bitterness, and the soul (soul) is the oarsman on the boat. Only a strong boat can ferry the oarsman. Going hard in the sea of ​​bitterness."

Ning Yuan agreed with this sentence.

In the Age of Dominance, talent is indifferent. But in the new era that has now faintly opened, Ning Yuan sincerely hopes that he has the mass but core talent of "fitness".

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

A silver ray of six feet high, a pair of indifferent eyes appeared in the light curtain, and the pupils were one gold and one silver, and the pupils were mirrored with runes that symbolized the crown and the yin.

Spiritual talent: "Different eyes."

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

In fact, Ning Yuan's father was a talented person with strange eyes. However, the father's different eyes are silver pupils that do not exist in the records of the stars. His father called it the "Silver Eye of Deception", whose ability is to see through all falsehoods and demon and punish evil. Of course, this is the performance in the virtual world. In the reality without much vitality, it was just a pair of monster silver eyes that shuddered at the glance of ordinary people.

"The most common mental talents with different eyes are Yin-Yang Eyes, Sky Eyes, and Air Eyes. Less common are phantom eyes, virtual eyes, translating eyes, extremely rare golden eyes, omen blue eyes, and heart-controlling eyes." Ning Yuan looked at the gold and silver pupils in the light curtain and thought, "My different eye talent seems to be the most common yin and yang eye, but it feels a little different. I remember that the yin and yang eye in the talent book is black and white pupils. But it represents the pupil. The patterns are exactly the same, they are both Tai Mian and Tai Yin."

"Perhaps it is a certain type of yin and yang eye." Ning Yuan guessed.

"The four talents are at least out of the category of ordinary people and reach the level of so-called talents." Just as Ning Yuan muttered to himself in an inexplicable mocking tone, the fifth light lit up.

"Hey, five talents is the standard of genius." Ning Yuan smiled weirdly, and raised his eyes to the red light curtain.

The pattern on the light curtain is a pair of bare feet separated back and forth, which belongs to one of the most common physical talents, "Swiftness", just like "Strong". The height of the light is three feet.

Ning Yuan curled his lips, with an inexplicable expression on himself: "Whether it is strong or fast, I usually don't seem to find myself specializing in this area? It's impossible to ignore it because I am a liberal arts student, right? "

"It's almost the end." Ning Yuan sighed, not knowing whether it was disappointment or relaxation, looking at the lotus platform that did not emit light for a long time.

Just when Ning Yuan was about to leave the talent platform, a blue beam of light rose into the sky and reached nine feet.

"What?!" Ning Yuan was taken aback, looked at the lotus hole on the far right of the lotus platform, and then looked up at the blue light curtain that was flush with the "Yao" light curtain, but the strange thing was that there was no fog on the light curtain. Nothing at all.

"What's going on?" Ning Yuan said in a strange way, and then looked at the name of the talent as if he came to his senses.

Talent name: unknown.

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

"Can't even the system of the virtual world be parsed?"

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

At the moment of teleporting away, Ning Yuan caught a glimpse of the talented lotus platform disappearing without warning. It seemed that even the talented lotus body, which did not know where it existed, had a premonition, and withdrew the projection.

Yes, the talented lotus platform does not exist in the imaginary world, and naturally it is not a product of the imaginary world.

What is the talent lotus? No matter this era of the end of Dharma or the last two eras that have died out, few creatures know about it. The sentient beings only record the way of summoning the projection of the talented lotus platform and the role of the talented lotus platform, and there is no record of what the talented lotus platform itself is.

The only thing that can be determined by referring to the Void Realm beings is that the innate lotus platform is no less than the Void Realm, and it has the same wisdom as the Void Realm, that is, it has the same spirit as the Void Realm.

Because although the talent calculation is carried out in the imaginary world, it seems that the system built by the market owner is operating the content and results of the test, but in fact everything is carried out in the illusion projected by the talent lotus platform.

Let’s put it this way, all talent calculations are equivalent to dreams. In reality, the performance is that the talent lotus platform maps the projection of the gift lotus platform to the sea of ​​consciousness of sentient beings according to the wishes of sentient beings, and sentient beings form incarnations in consciousness to complete the calculation. Know the talents you have.

The external manifestation is actually a loss of life and a sense of consciousness, and staying in a daze for a while.

And because the virtual world is originally equivalent to the world of the soul, this kind of projection becomes the soul incarnation of the living being in the special individual virtual area of ​​the virtual world.

The advantage of this calculation is that you can accurately recognize your own talents with the help of the system, without guessing or searching for talent maps. Even if it is some unknown or mutated talents, you can also use the name of the talent under the analysis of the system. For example, Ning Yuan’s "Yaoyan".

The disadvantage is that the talents of creatures will be recorded. Some special talents or unknown talents such as Ning Yuan's last appearance can easily cause trouble and attract some unnecessary attention.

But fortunately, the talent calculation is only a calculation, and the guiding awakening depends entirely on the creatures themselves.

Even in the records of the last two eras, most of the people who fully awakened and developed their own talents were ordinary people with only one or two talents, and a considerable part of them were fully awakened thanks to their own talents. Racial talent. Such as the cat family's "swift" and "silent" talents.

Most other creatures with more than two talents are unable to awaken all the talents. Even if all the talents are awakened, they rarely develop all the talents to the upper limit of their potential. The reasons are various.

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

But that refers to the general situation without accidents. Ning Yuan is a special situation this time. It is not because of the high potential of the talent, nor is it because the talent is a specific unknown talent.

The key lies in the "unknown" of the system's talent name.

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

And Ning Yuan's last talent trouble was that the system was completely unable to resolve it, and he didn't even have a talent rune. At that time, the entire light curtain was just a cloud of chaos. This means that the starting point of this talent itself is higher than the apex of the system's analytical ability.

It is necessary to know that the system of the virtual world is constructed by the market owner. As compared with the existence of the names in the two cultivation eras, they can be called the talents that the system constructed by the market owner of the peerless strong can not be resolved. How much will this evoke? Human curiosity.

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

When he teleported back to the hall of the personal virtual area, Ning Yuan's heart was still beating. After a long time, Ning Yuan barely calmed down and immediately realized a lot of troubles that might come next.

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

After a long time, Ning Yuan let out a sigh of relief and muttered: "Six talents, no, the five talents start the game. It's better than the best."

Then relax completely:

"That's it. Jian's incarnation goes into the virtual area."
