Chapter 440 — The Strongest Talent

Unfortunately, Donghuang's Ye Xing's stellar enhancement talent and Shen Ling's Ancient Revival talent were only rated level seven.

After the round of testing, the faces of the totem nation contestants were not looking good.

Because compared to the seven human nations, the totem nations simply had too few beast-taming prodigies.

From the aspect of beast-taming talents alone, one could see just how endlessly the seven nations' beast-taming prodigies flowed.

Of the five eight-star talents, four came from the seven human nations, and two came from Kamikaze alone.

From this, one could see the difference between the seven nations and the totem nations—after all, one was centered on humans, the other on transcendent beings.

"Is there more?"

At this moment, the Sacred Divine Deer gazed downward.

Many gazes followed, turning toward Donghuang's direction, toward Cen Yu.

As a great name of the World Tournament, how could Shi Jin not be watched? Everyone had noticed that this Jiaqi, who had received two trial inheritances, had still not gone up to display his talent.

It seemed Shi Jin had given up. Not just him—Donghuang's Lu Heng had likely given up as well. Among the over two hundred contestants who had displayed their talents just now, not a single one had a telepathy talent. That said a great deal. Telepathy talents were very difficult to develop into strength.

"If there are no more, then you few shall fight to determine the inheritor."

The Sacred Divine Deer spoke. The expressions of Donghuang's contestants shifted slightly—they still had to fight?

Zhou Ming was on the verge of tears. Though he had luckily become the possessor of Donghuang's strongest talent and earned a second glance from a deity, he definitely could not beat those Jiaqi.

Otherwise, could they just split him off a Divine Radiance? He was not greedy. No more fighting—let us just divide the inheritance equally.

"Damn it." Ye Xing and Shen Ling both felt they were just one step short. If only they had one more star, they would not fear battle.

"I wonder what star rating the talent for listening to history would receive."

At this moment, Lu Heng sighed softly, then stepped forward to make an attempt.

She walked out of Donghuang's area, looked toward the Sacred Divine Deer, and said, "Lord Sacred Divine Deer, I have a telepathy talent."

At once, the Sacred Divine Deer and the other deities looked toward Lu Heng, who had stepped out

from Donghuang.

The Sacred Divine Deer said, "Can telepathy even be considered a talent?"

Was it not an ability every mythical species creature was born with?

What use was it?

Lu Heng smiled bitterly and said, "The telepathy talent is a special-category beast-taming talent. It can help beast tamers communicate better with non-contracted beings."

"However, that is only the basic use of telepathy. Depending on how it is developed, the telepathy talent can also be upgraded into the talent 'Listening to the Voice of History.'"

"As long as it is an ancient object containing traces of time, a beast tamer with the telepathy talent can use this talent to peer into history through those time traces. This is also the strongest talent of archaeologists in later ages."

The Sacred Divine Deer nodded and said, "A talent that peers into history through traces of time? That is not bad either. Seven stars."

It did not waste much time on Lu Heng, nor did it even have the thought to verify by having Lu Heng demonstrate. After all, compared to talents like listening and spatial enhancement, even if it contained some time-attribute ability, there was still a gap.

In any case, a telepathy talent that could not enhance combat power could not participate in the final contest for the inheritance.

Seeing this, Lu Heng had no choice but to withdraw.

And the contestants of the various nations, seeing this, felt their hearts relax.

As for Ye Xing, Shen Ling, Zhou Ming, and the others, expressions of "just as expected" appeared on their faces.

"By the way"

At this moment, seeing that the third trial was nearing its end and that almost everyone had finished displaying their talents, the Pig Deity and Xuanming—who had noticed Shi Yu's intention not to come up—could no longer sit still.

Frankly, though Shi Jin had obtained inheritances from them, what beast-taming talent he actually possessed was something they truly did not know.

In the first two trials, Shi Jin had never once revealed his beast-taming talent.

Why has this fellow been so slow to come up?

Could his beast-taming talent be utterly worthless?

"Human boy, you haven't come up yet, have you? What is your beast-taming talent?" the Boar God and Xuanming stepped forward of their own accord, looking toward Cen Yu as they asked.

Seeing how intently the Boar God and Xuanming were watching Cen Yu, the Holy

Deer also turned its gaze there, and took note of this young human who likewise had shown no talent.

"Me? Same as the beauty just now—mine is also the telepathy talent," Shi Jin said to the three deities in the sky.

At that, the Holy Deer was fine with it, but the Boar God and Xuanming were slightly taken aback, and looked toward the World Tree clone.

This outrageous brat—his talent was only telepathy???

Lu Heng, who had just come down, was likewise at a loss for words. Why drag me into this?

"Yes," said the World Tree clone, who had known all along and remained fairly calm. As the greatest archaeologist of the Seven Nations, it was only natural that Shi Jin should have the listening talent.

"Then that settles it. Looks like this trial has nothing to do with you," the Boar God said with a chuckle.

A freak—to have such a powerful telepathy talent.

"Is it so special?" the Holy Deer asked the Boar God and Xuanming, unable to understand why the two were paying this human such attention.

"This human passed the trials set by me and Xuanming and obtained two inheritances," the Boar God said.

"One person, two inheritances?" The Holy Deer looked at Shi Jin, frail and weak-faced. And yet—true enough, though he looked

weak, it could sense the vast power hidden within Shi Jin's body.

Stronger, not weaker, than the humans who had displayed their beast-taming talents moments ago.

It's a good thing there's no relation!

The contestants of Totem Nation were not the only ones—even the legends of Shenfeng and Xueyuan felt their hearts lift when they saw what mischief Shi Jin was up to.

The two legends already sensed that this was their closest brush yet with a divine-level inheritance.

The Void Court likewise fell slightly silent, still very wary of Shi Jin, who had obtained two inheritances in succession.

"No, actually it does have a little to do with me."

"I also have some interest in the Deer God's 'Nine-Colored Divine Light.'"

Yet after drawing such attention, Shi Jin made his way up with no thought of giving up. Psychic power enshrouded his whole body, and he slowly rose into the air, addressing the three deities.

The moment he spoke, everyone was stunned.

The crowd: ???

You, with your telepathy talent—what the hell do you have any

interest for?

Looking at Shi Jin as he stepped out, the crowd was speechless.

Didn't Donghuang's Lu Heng just prove that the telepathy talent caps out at seven stars? What are you standing up for?

"Hm? Didn't you say you had telepathy?" The Boar God looked toward Cen Yu.

Shi Jin: "Though mine is also the telepathy talent, telepathy and telepathy are not entirely the same."

At that moment, Shi Jin landed on the open ground. At the same time, a purple summoning array appeared before him, and a Ginseng Baby emerged onto the field.

The various factions all stared at the Ginseng Baby, dumbfounded.

The factions that knew Shi Jin especially—seeing that Shi Jin had actually contracted a King-tier Ginseng Baby—all wore expressions of disbelief.

As expected, just as they had guessed—Shi Jin's other beasts weren't all that strong?
