Brain Domain Breadth! Talent and Talent Were Not Interconnected

On the Sky Screen, a new scene appeared on the third panel as well.

It was the third Explorer, Cuihua, an ordinary village girl from Suotuo City.

Compared to Dai Mubai, who had descended into the peril-ridden ruins of the Wilderness Zone, Cuihua's luck was absurdly good. As the white light faded, she was teleported directly to the heart of Jiangnan Base City's most prosperous commercial district.

The moment she arrived, Cuihua was completely stunned.

All around her stood towering skyscrapers that pierced the clouds and reached into the sky.

The exteriors of those buildings were made entirely of transparent glass curtain walls and silver-gray alloy, refracting dazzling, dreamlike radiance beneath the sunlight.

In midair, enormous holographic screens dozens of meters tall played all kinds of footage.

Some showed Martial Artists in new-style battle armor endorsing nutritional supplements, while others displayed bounty notices for Wilderness Zone monsters.

Although she had already seen scenes of the other world through the Sky Screen, being there in person was an entirely different feeling.

Knowing how dangerous this other world was, Cuihua could only force herself to be brave as she wandered the streets. She had no idea where to go and only wanted to find some deserted corner to hide in.

By now, after taking in Jiangnan City's bustling splendor, the formerly terrified Cuihua had finally calmed down.

She had finally found the courage to take the initiative and explore this unknown new world.

Just then, a sleek, futuristic hovercar sped along an invisible track in midair before coming to a steady stop in front of her.

The next moment.

A noisy crowd poured out of the hovercar.

"Quick, quick! The Extreme Martial Arts Hall is holding its basic physical fitness and brain domain breadth census today. If we get there late, we'll be queuing until tonight!"

"I heard that if they discover anyone with high brain domain breadth this time, the hall will give them a subsidy directly!"

The crowd chattered noisily.

Before Cuihua could figure out what was happening, the packed crowd shoved her along, and she stumbled through the automatic glass doors of a building.

The interior hall was spacious and bright, its spotless white alloy floor gleaming without a speck of dust.

In the center stood rows upon rows of precise silver-white instruments, with long lines in front of every one.

Trapped in the middle of the crowd, Cuihua could neither advance nor retreat. She could only drift with the flow as the line slowly moved forward.

More than half an hour later, a dazed Cuihua was pushed to the very front.

A young staff member in a gray uniform sat behind the instrument. He yawned, did not even lift his eyelids, and casually pressed several buttons on the console before him.

"Scan your identity card. If you don't have one, sit down and put on the helmet."

The staff member mechanically repeated words he had said thousands of times every day.

How could Cuihua understand any of this? She remained motionless, looking utterly lost.

Seeing this, a security guard maintaining order nearby assumed she was some mute girl from the slums trying her luck. Somewhat impatiently, he stepped forward and pressed her into the testing chair.

"Don't move. It'll be over soon."

The guard casually picked up a silver metal helmet connected to countless sensor wires and placed it directly over Cuihua's head.

The staff member casually pressed the activation button.

On the display above the instrument, two rows of data began rapidly fluctuating.

One represented her overall physical condition, including muscle strength and neural response, while the other represented brain domain breadth.

Only two seconds passed.

"Beep—"

The instrument let out a crisp alert.

The staff member glanced carelessly at the screen. His previously sleepy eyes instantly widened.

There was no shrill red alarm and no earth-shaking phenomenon, yet the data displayed on the screen still surprised this experienced staff member.

"Overall physical fitness: weak. Estimated punching force: twenty-five kilograms. Evaluation: an ordinary person suffering from severe malnutrition."

As he read the first half of the data, the staff member could not help curling his lip.

This physique was so weak that it was not even comparable to a ten-year-old child. She was utterly useless.

But when his gaze shifted to the other row of data, he could not help letting out a surprised sound.

"Brain domain breadth... eighteen?"

The staff member rubbed his eyes, confirming that he had not misread it.

Ordinary people in this world generally had brain domain breadth below ten. Only the occasional exceptionally gifted genius with abundant mental energy could exceed ten.

Once brain domain breadth surpassed twelve, it meant that person possessed hidden Spiritual Force talent. With suitable guidance and training, they stood a strong chance of awakening into a respected Spirit Master in the future!

A value of eighteen was just two points short of twenty!

Twenty was widely considered the level of a monstrous genius. Such a person was practically guaranteed to become an intermediate or even high-level Spirit Master in the future!

In a broad census like this, a spiritual breadth of eighteen was undoubtedly a promising seedling found only once in a hundred.

"A refugee girl with a physique this weak actually has the potential to become a Spirit Master? And her potential isn't even low?"

The staff member put away his earlier contempt, hurriedly stood up, and pressed a button on the communicator beside him.

Before long, a burly martial arts hall instructor with a full beard strode over. He bent down to look at the testing device's screen, then sized up the trembling Cuihua sitting in the chair.

"Brain domain breadth of eighteen. Not bad at all. She's a good prospect!"

The bearded instructor stroked his chin, his tone carrying a trace of regret.

"What a pity. Her physical fitness is far too poor, ridiculously poor."

"To awaken Spiritual Force, the physical body must be able to withstand the burden of a mental power eruption. With her tiny frame, forcing an awakening now would burn out her brain."

The instructor stepped forward and made his voice as gentle as possible.

"Little girl, don't be afraid."

Seeing Cuihua's bewildered expression and ragged clothes, he subconsciously assumed she was a refugee from elsewhere. He patiently explained, "Your body is very weak, but your brain is very special."

"Simply put, you possess a hidden talent called 'Spiritual Force.'"

"If you're willing to join the basic training class at our Extreme Martial Arts Hall, we'll provide free nutritional supplements to help improve your physique."

"As long as your body reaches the required standard, you'll have a chance to become a powerful Spirit Master in the future. You'll be able to control weapons from afar and even fly through the sky. Are you willing?"

Cuihua was utterly confused. She did not understand brain domain breadth or Spiritual Force at all.

But she understood "free nutritional supplements" and "fly through the sky."

So, still dazed, she nodded.

Through the Sky Screen's panel, this scene was displayed in full before everyone on Douluo Continent.

In an instant, an even greater uproar than before erupted across the entire Douluo Continent.
