The line stretched long.
Many students were nervous.
After all, this was a major life event.
In today's world, Awakened have absolute say.
It's hard for ordinary people to make a living; if one can achieve a D-rank Talent in the test, as long as they don't commit crimes, they can secure a stable job.
Talent testing was conducted in three areas.
First and second-year high school students were in one area, while third-year students were divided into two areas.
Chu Xinyao stood behind Fang Xin.
Her fair, delicate fingers traced patterns on Fang Xin's back.
Every now and then, she would poke Fang Xin, making him guess what she had just drawn.
In the distance.
Around the Talent testing area, many people in uniform stood.
Through messages passed by quick-witted students, it was known that most of these uniformed individuals were government officials, with a portion also from prestigious families and various large organizations.
Awakened are highly sought after now, and every faction wants to secure promising talents.
Qin Junhao lifted his chin, searching for the two Seventh Division members he'd seen outside the classroom earlier.
Many students looked at Qin Junhao with envy.
The sycophant Xu Xiaoqiang rubbed his hands together like a fly, "Brother Hao, over there! The people you're looking for are over there!"
Following the direction Xu Xiaoqiang pointed, Xiao Wutong and Allie were seen standing side by side.
"How impressive! Brother Hao, you'll definitely become like them in the future. Remember to look out for me then."
Qin Junhao put his arm around Xu Xiaoqiang's shoulder, "Don't worry, I won't forget you."
As they were talking, two people appeared in the distance.
A tall, thin, white-haired handsome man wearing sunglasses, with his hands in his pockets, walked past the government officials, followed by a beautiful girl with a lollipop in her mouth and carrying a case.
When everyone saw those two, they all stood at attention; non-government members nodded in greeting, while government members saluted one after another, even Xiao Wutong and Allie of the Seventh Division stood solemnly and saluted the two.
But the white-haired man leading the way seemed oblivious, his hands in his pockets, as he walked through the crowd and directly into a classroom.
"Who's that? So arrogant? All government members have to salute him?"
"The Ninth Division! The legendary Ninth Division! Do you see the case that beautiful older sister is carrying? The nine-dragon totem on it is the Ninth Division's totem!"
"As expected of the Ninth Division, with the highest benefits and treatment. Their members' ranks are one level higher than other divisions, and in emergencies, they can mobilize members from the other eight divisions, showing no one any deference! If I could join the Ninth Division! I'd even be willing to marry the school beauty!"
Fang Xin watched the white-haired man and the beautiful girl enter the classroom.
Even without them releasing any aura, Fang Xin, having experienced countless battles, could acutely sense the danger emanating from the two.
Especially the white-haired man; Fang Xin even felt that the other party could instantly kill him with a single thought.
Based on his previous online assessments, Fang Xin believed his Strength Talent should be S-rank.
If he was S-rank, it was highly possible he would be taken by the Ninth Division. The Ninth Division's people are so strong, if they discovered his Slaughter Talent, what if they had other intentions? Wouldn't he be dissected and studied?
In fact, Fang Xin had already decided last night not to use the potion to avoid being targeted by high-ranking officials. Jiang Xiaocha's test was in the afternoon, so he would give the potion to his sister, Jiang Xiaocha, later.
The reason he didn't give it yesterday was simply to annoy Jiang Weidong.
"Students whose names are called below, please bring your student ID, inject potions in advance if you have them, and proceed orderly into the testing area for Talent testing.
Zhang Yuxuan, Wang Zihan, Li Xinyi..."
Several classrooms were set up in each area, with several two-meter-tall cabinets inside. Students taking the Talent test would enter, and after three to five minutes, they would be done.
However, Cheng Wenjin had just announced that this year's test results would not be released on the same day but would be postponed by one day.
This made many students very uncomfortable, as waiting for the results for that day was a torment.
Qin Junhao's gaze shifted to Xiao Wutong of the Seventh Division.
Xiao Wutong also looked over, smiling and nodding at Qin Junhao.
"Brother Hao! He nodded at you!" The sycophant Xu Xiaoqiang exclaimed excitedly.
"Did you all see that? That person from the Seventh Division nodded at my Brother Hao!" Xu Xiaoqiang boasted to the surrounding students.
Qin Junhao's smile was harder to suppress than an AK, but he still advised Xu Xiaoqiang, "Keep it low-key! We don't know yet what Talent and rank will be revealed!"
He glanced at Fang Xin and Chu Xinyao out of the corner of his eye.
He saw Chu Xinyao tracing patterns on Fang Xin's back, and the two were playing a 'Pictionary' game, completely ignoring him.
Qin Junhao gave Fang Xin a sidelong glance, "I wonder what Talent he'll end up with. But I've heard that sometimes with Talent awakening, students who study well, whose brains are overdeveloped, get counterproductive results in Talent tests. There was a very good senior student who ended up with an A-rank Excavator Talent! Fang Xin, I think you might just get that kind of Talent too!"
Fang Xin nodded, agreeing, "That's pretty good, better than an A-rank Simp Talent!"
A lie won't hurt, but the truth is a sharp blade.
That simple sentence completely broke Qin Junhao's composure.
Qin Junhao's face instantly changed.
Xu Xiaoqiang quickly patted Qin Junhao's chest to calm him down, "Brother Hao, let's not get angry with such people. We'll be part of the Seventh Division in the future. Once you join the Seventh Division, dealing with him will be a piece of cake!"
Qin Junhao sneered, "Just wait and see how I deal with you then!"
Chu Xinyao poked Fang Xin's lower back, "Where's the potion I gave you!"
"I forgot to bring it!"
"You!" Chu Xinyao frowned and pouted, "How can you be so careless at such an important time!"
As she spoke, Chu Xinyao shoved her own potion into Fang Xin's hand and turned to run back to the classroom to retrieve the potion she had given Fang Xin earlier.
Fang Xin grabbed Chu Xinyao, smiling gently, "It's almost our turn. There's not enough time to go back and get it now! If we're not here within the allotted time, it'll be considered a no-show."
"How could you!" Chu Xinyao said anxiously.
"It's fine. If it doesn't work this time, there's always next time!"
Cheng Wenjin's voice came from the front, "Students whose names are called below, please bring your identification and enter the testing area in an orderly fashion.
Qin Junhao, Xu Xiaoqiang, Zhang Haoyu, Li Bowen, Fang Xin, Chu Xinyao..."
Fang Xin gave Chu Xinyao an 'it's fine' expression and walked towards the testing area.
In the distance.
Xiao Wutong saw Qin Junhao walking towards the testing area and immediately smiled. He turned to Allie, "Quick! The contract! Wait a moment, after he comes out, we'll go and sign him early! Hahaha! The Ninth Division has been domineering for so long, it's time for our Seventh Division to be assertive for once!"
Fang Xin entered the large white testing apparatus.
He placed his student ID on the induction area in front.
After identity verification.
Red light continuously scanned Fang Xin.
Fang Xin touched the pendant on his neck that his grandfather had given him.
In the classroom.
The white-haired man sat in a chair, swaying back and forth.
The girl with the lollipop opened her briefcase. Inside the case was a precise control keyboard and a display screen.
A lens protruding from one end of the case projected images of various testing areas onto the wall.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Drip drip...
The sudden piercing sound made the white-haired man pause his swaying.
He couldn't help but look at the screen on the wall.
In the image where Fang Xin was located.
A square appeared.
The square flickered.
A few seconds later, several lines of text appeared.
"Name: Fang Xin.
Talent ①: Strength Talent, SS-rank (no potion);
Talent ②: Perception Talent, S-rank (no potion);
Talent ③: Beast Taming Talent, S-rank (no potion);
Talent ④: Light Element Talent, A-rank (no potion);
Talent ⑤: Mental Talent, A-rank (no potion);
Comprehensive Combat Power Assessment: Level Three."
The girl looked up, her beautiful eyes sparkling with astonishment, "Without using a potion, he can test out an SS-rank Talent, and so many Talents! If he used a potion, all his Talents could increase by one rank!
And he's Combat Power Level Three! This is extremely rare among students!"
The white-haired man slowly hooked his sunglasses down with his finger. Behind the sunglasses, a pair of eyes gleamed with dazzling white light, as if containing two terrifying thunder pools.
A smile slowly formed at the corner of his mouth.
"Fang Xin, the Ninth Division wants him!"
