Terrifying Talents

"Not bad, this Tuo Lion Meat is well made, even more fragrant than Braised Pork, and it melts in your mouth."

Elder Chen gave his comments after finishing the meal.

Lin Yi only took a small bite, then sighed, "If there had been a village like Zishou Village that could provide this kind of food when we first entered the Heavenly Initiate World, we probably would have fought Born One and nail to get a chance to eat it."

Zhang Baichuan was deeply moved upon hearing this.

When the Born One first come into contact with the Heavenly Initiate World, resources that can increase their Qi-Blood and physical constitution are extremely precious.

Especially for those Born One, precious and extraordinary resources require them to risk their lives.

This applies to both ordinary Born One and official Born One.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have resigned from his official post and joined Lin Yi's team.

Upon hearing this, Elder Chen nodded and said, "These words should be written down and told to these students and teachers that every extraordinary resource is hard-won!"

Afterwards, Lin Yi and Elder Chen visited the classrooms, laboratories, martial arts temple, and other places.

More than an hour later, Elder Chen dispersed the crowd and left the school with Lin Yi while chatting.

Most of it was Lin Yi Yi-yi listening to, and Elder Chen Lao-yi talking about.

"... After the Ancient Domain's great victory over the Supreme Demon Domain, the demonic threat around the world has diminished, and we can finally breathe a sigh of relief. For example, the Dragon Kingdom is returning to normalcy in all aspects, and most cities have restored order. However, a group of people have suggested reforms, saying that the Dragon Kingdom's bureaucratic system is corrupt and rigid, and its response to the disaster is slow..."

Lin Yi was not surprised; uneven distribution of resources inevitably leads to conflicts of interest.

Moreover, if a group of people in power are ordinary people, how can those Born One with extraordinary powers accept being treated like ordinary people?

Without his suppression, the Dragon Kingdom would probably have fallen into chaos long ago.

Lin Yi also knew why Elder Chen had spoken to him alone.

What are your thoughts?

Elder Chen sighed and said, "The old system is unable to meet the challenges and has instead become a shackle on development. I also suggest reforms to make decision-making more scientific and resource allocation more reasonable... but the premise is that we cannot be too hasty!"

Then, Elder Chen briefly explained his reform ideas.

Lin Yi listened and offered some advice.

Finally, Lin Yi said, "Elder Chen, you can go ahead and do it. My people will definitely cooperate with you. If necessary, I can also step in."

Upon hearing this, Elder Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

In the Dragon Kingdom, Lin Yi's influence extends to all aspects of life. Sometimes, even he has to consider Lin Yi's influence.

After sending Elder Chen away, Lin Yi had five more Talent Stone in his hand.

Although Lin Yi has been providing the official team with various supernatural resources that he doesn't need for free, the official team hasn't been idle either, and has also rewarded Lin Yi by collecting Talent Stone.

But Talent Stone are ultimately a non-renewable resource; once found, they are gone forever.

Even with Lin Yi offering a large reward and the Dragon Kingdom using its national resources to acquire them, they still couldn't find any more Talent Stone from the Heavenly Initiate World.

As for these five Talent Stone, they were given to the authorities by Ji Wuhuan as an apology after the Dragon Tiger Mountain riots of the Ji Family.

It is said that when the Gap World was destroyed, the Ji Family hastily retrieved these five pieces from the Ancestral Hall.

These five are also the last five Talent Stone in the Gap World.

Lin Yi put the five Talent Stone into his pocket and sighed slightly.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that only some Martial Family in the Ancient Domain still possess a small number of Talent Stone in the entire Heavenly Initiate World.

It's probably very difficult to find traces of Talent Stone elsewhere.

The Principal's Office at the Martial Arts Academy is grand and luxurious, with a south-facing floor-to-ceiling window offering a panoramic view of the entire school.

After seeing Elder Chen off, Lin Yi was in a hurry to leave and went to the Martial Arts Academy that Elder Chen had funded.

As the sponsor, Lin Yi also holds the position of honorary principal, and this office is his.

A moment later, Old Fourth Gu, along with Tian Xiaoye and Sha Ling'er, knocked on the door and entered the room.

Seeing that Old Fourth Gu was able to knock on the door, Lin Yi smiled and said, "It seems that Fourth Squad has learned a lot of rules since you came to Blue Star."

"What are you saying? I'm a human being, not an animal..."

Although as Lin Yi's cultivation level rose, his former friends showed Lin Yi some respect, but Old Fourth Gu seemed not to notice. Without waiting for Lin Yi's greeting, he simply crossed his legs and leaned back on the leather sofa.

"No tea? That's hardly a thoughtful gesture..."

Tian Xiaoye, who was standing nearby, was quite perceptive and quickly added water and poured tea for Old Fourth Gu.

"Your apprentice is still the most sensible."

Lin Yi shook his head. He had taken some time to come today mainly to see if Old Fourth Gu, Gu Chenghu, Gu Man, and the others he had sent to Blue Star were adapting well.

It seems that Old Fourth Gu is living a very comfortable life now.

Sha Ling'er, who was standing to the side, thought that her master was going to scold her again. After entering, she stood with her head down, her fingers clutching her clothes, looking very nervous.

She was terrified that her master would punish her for her performance.

Lin Yi knew what she was thinking, so he didn't scold her too much. He just said, "Alright, now that you're here, you should study hard and not be lazy."

"Although Blue Star did not have any extraordinary powers in the past, its scientific truths and historical heritage have been of great benefit to you, and these are also your own shortcomings."

"I won't be coming very often in the future, so I can't supervise you all the time. You'll have to rely on your own initiative."

"Xiao Ye, from now on you will be in charge of supervising your senior sister. If she doesn't perform well next time she comes, I will punish you as well."

Tian Xiaoye quickly replied, "Yes, Master, I promise to keep an eye on Senior Sister."

Lin Yi nodded; he felt even more at ease with Tian Xiaoye.

To be honest, there were deeper reasons why Lin Yi took them both as his apprentices.

But since we've accepted it, we must take it seriously.

Afterwards, Lin Yi gave them some pointers on their cultivation progress, left a few resources, and then prepared to leave.

But then Tian Xiaoye suddenly stammered, as if she wanted to say something.

"Say what you want to say."

Tian Xiaoye quickly said, "Master, I have a classmate who really wants to see you. She should be outside. She said you are her savior and she wants to meet you to repay your kindness."

"Classmate?"

Lin Yi spread his senses and indeed found a student lingering at the bottom of the stairs.

And this girl was an acquaintance, Li Chaofan, the student he had saved during the demon plague.

Lin Yi remembers that this woman even caused a tremor in his [Heavenly Mystery Dao Eye].

What is your relationship with her?

Tian Xiaoye's face instantly turned red. "It's okay... she just found out by chance that I'm your apprentice, and then we got into a fight, and I lost..."

"You lost? You suppressed your cultivation level?"

Tian Xiaoye lowered his head, seemingly ashamed of Lin Yi's teachings. "I didn't bet, but I still lost."

Lin Yi couldn't help but feel curious.

You should know that Tian Xiaoye is now Two-star Warrior, and he has mastered at least a few perfect-level External Skill. In addition, with the Martial Dao Artifact he gave him, he can defeat even an ordinary Three-star Warrior.

The woman outside, who is associated with Li Chaofan, is only One-star Warrior. Judging from her aura, she hasn't been in her breakthrough for long, yet she was able to defeat Tian Xiaoye, which is truly unbelievable.

"Please invite her in."

Tian Xiaoye rushed out. "Quick, my master has agreed to see you."

Li Chaoran, who was a little nervous, took a deep breath. Although he was excited, he calmly followed Tian Xiaoye into the Principal's Office.

Upon seeing Lin Yi for the first time, Li Chaoran immediately recalled the scene of Lin Yi saving him during the Great Invasion.

She vowed then and there that one day she would fight alongside this Lin Shen and even surpass him!

But now, sensing the aura emanating from Lin Yi, even just a tiny bit, made her tremble uncontrollably.

Seeing Li Chaofan's delicate body tremble, Tian Xiaoye whispered, "Li, don't get excited. My master is very gentle."

Lin Yi said calmly, "She's not excited, she's scared."

Li Chaoran looked up and met Lin Yi's calm eyes. For a moment, he felt dizzy and realized that Lin Yi had seen through the secrets he had kept in his heart.

"No wonder he can fight opponents of higher levels; it turns out he has already mastered and perfected several Blue Quality External Skill..."

Lin Yi saw a part of Li Chaofan's memories, raised an eyebrow slightly, then took a strand of Li Chaofan's hair and disappeared from the spot.

"Ding! Detecting a living One-star Warrior, the Red Talent [Fate Master] has been discovered, along with the Golden Talent [Stronger When Facing Stronger Opponents], [Chosen One], [All Acupoints Open], and [Superior Comprehension], and the Purple Talent [Combat Power Perception]... Five brand-new talents have been added to the database..."

In the Apocalypse World, after testing Li Chaofan's talent, Lin Yi couldn't help but gasp.

This girl has so many talents, and she even has a Red Talent!
