449: Chapter 449 Advantages and Disadvantages

God-Bestowal Platform, third floor.

Everyone looked at the instruments, silent.

Among the five hundred students, nearly a hundred looked ashen, while others were overjoyed.

Among them was a young man named Jiang Heng, who froze on the spot upon hearing his name and his Extraordinary Talent Rank.

"Level 7?"

"Are they talking about me?"

Jiang Heng was holding a verdant longsword at this moment, at a loss for what to do.

"Jiang Heng, come here."

Hearing the call, Jiang Heng snapped back to reality and turned to look at the person calling him.

It was a very handsome young man with a stunningly beautiful woman beside him; the two looked very intimate.

Beside them was a middle-aged man who looked ordinary, perhaps even a bit ugly. However, seeing the two characters 'Luo Jiang' on his chest, Jiang Heng dared not show any strange expression, knowing that this might be his future teacher.

Clutching his Fallen Leaf Sword, Jiang Heng jogged over amidst the envious gazes of the crowd.

"Greetings, Teachers."

Jiang Heng was very polite, bowing to greet them.

Xiao Weiqing nodded slightly. Before he could speak, the surrounding teachers crowded around; they also wanted to see if this candidate, who had awakened a Level 7 Extraordinary Talent, had three heads and six arms.

"May I borrow your sword to take a look?"

Jiang Heng hurriedly said, "Of course."

Xiao Weiqing took the Fallen Leaf Sword and observed it carefully, finding nothing unusual.

With a thought, he drew a large amount of Spiritual Qi from the air and injected it into the Fallen Leaf Sword.

Suddenly.

The Fallen Leaf Sword shone brightly, erupting with an incredibly dazzling light.

But Xiao Weiqing knew this didn't mean anything; it was just a very ordinary companion weapon.

"What if I don't use Spiritual Qi?" Xiao Weiqing thought to himself.

He dispersed the Spiritual Qi and released his Mental Energy. The less-than-dense Universe energy in the air was captured and poured entirely into the Fallen Leaf Sword.

An anomaly occurred.

A divine rune appeared on the hilt.

However.

This was not the end. As the Universe energy continued to flow in, six phantom divine runes appeared one after another. If Xiao Weiqing wanted, he could make all the divine runes manifest.

However.

Xiao Weiqing did not do so, as it would not be conducive to Jiang Heng's growth.

He just needed to confirm that this Fallen Leaf Sword was indeed Level 7.

The surrounding teachers were no ordinary people; seeing the seven divine runes, they all knew that this candidate, Jiang Heng, had indeed awakened a Level 7 Extraordinary Talent.

"Here, take it back. It is indeed a Level 7 companion weapon. A very good talent."

"Yes."

Jiang Heng took the sword, incredibly excited. A teacher from Luo Jiang Academy had confirmed his Extraordinary Talent was Level 7.

Although he was not from a prominent Family, he knew what this meant.

Level 7, something Great Xia had never seen before.

No.

It had not happened on Blue Star for a hundred years.

He, Jiang Heng, was going to take off starting today.

"Go on, Cultivate well."

"Yes."

Jiang Heng turned around, but after walking a few steps, he looked back at Xiao Weiqing.

Xiao Weiqing asked in confusion, "Is there something else?"

"Teacher, may I become your student?"

Upon hearing this.

The surrounding teachers were slightly surprised, and even more appreciative.

"What a smart kid."

"I should say his observation skills are good."

Xiao Weiqing was caught off guard; he hadn't expected Jiang Heng to ask to be his student directly.

"Can you tell me the reason?"

Jiang Heng immediately straightened his expression. He knew his answer would determine whether he successfully became his student.

After thinking for a moment.

Jiang Heng looked at Qian Yi and said, "Before the Awakening, this teacher flew off in the direction of Luo Jiang Academy and brought you here."

"I judged that your status must be above this teacher's; that is the first point."

"Continue," Xiao Weiqing said with interest.

Jiang Heng took a deep breath, trying his best to calm down, and continued:

"Second, the surrounding admissions teachers look at you with respect. Even Teacher Lin, also from Luo Jiang Academy, subconsciously keeps a distance from you."

"If it were only because of high status, it wouldn't be like this. So there is only one possibility: your strength must be incredibly powerful, stronger than everyone else, even to a degree that is incomprehensible to people."

"Therefore, I want to become your student."

Jiang Heng's words caused the surrounding teachers to have mixed expressions. Although it was a bit utilitarian, he was not wrong; Xiao Weiqing's strength was indeed powerful to the point of being incomprehensible to them.

If Qian Yi hadn't brought him here, they would never have had the chance to see Xiao Weiqing.

Now it all depended on how Xiao Weiqing chose.

Great Xia, and perhaps even the first person on Blue Star to awaken a Level 7 Extraordinary Talent with a companion weapon—would Xiao Weiqing take him as a student?

Although Xiao Weiqing himself was only 22, not much older than Jiang Heng.

However, who stipulated that a teacher must be old?

Having strength and resources was enough.

And Xiao Weiqing was exactly that kind of person.

Xiao Weiqing just shook his head slightly.

"I have no plans to take on students."

"Ah?"

In the end, he was still an 18-year-old child. Xiao Weiqing's words almost made Jiang Heng lose his composure, and his face fell.

Xiao Weiqing continued, "I have many things to do. Even if I took you on, I wouldn't have time to teach you."

This was the truth. If Xiao Weiqing took Jiang Heng on, he wouldn't have time to manage him at all. If he just let him fend for himself, that would be a waste of his talent.

"However, you can enter the Azure Dragon Academy."

"Azure Dragon Academy?"

As a child from an ordinary Family, Jiang Heng did not know much about the Azure Dragon Academy, only having heard people mention it.

"Yes, a special academy. After you enter, you will have teachers of the Seventh Realm or even the Eighth Realm take you as a student for one-on-one teaching."

"Seventh Realm? Eighth Realm?"

"One-on-one?"

Jiang Heng was a bit dazed, then his eyes suddenly lit up.

"I remember now, the teacher did indeed say before that there is an Azure Dragon Academy recruiting candidates with Level 5 Extraordinary Talent this year."

Before the Awakening, as a child from an ordinary Family, Jiang Heng just thought that as long as he awakened a Level 3 talent and entered a Supernatural University, that would be fine, so he didn't pay attention to those things.

Now that Xiao Weiqing mentioned it, he remembered immediately.

"Yes, that's right."

"That is where you should go."

"Yes, I understand, Teacher."

Jiang Heng nodded vigorously and left with his Fallen Leaf Sword.

After sending Jiang Heng off, Xiao Weiqing contacted Minister Lu Youlin directly and learned from him that Jiang Heng was not the only one in the country to have awakened a Level 7 Extraordinary Talent; so far, there were three in total, and more than 10 for Level 6.

You have to know, only one-third of the Supernatural Awakening period had passed.

It was said.

There was another candidate in the Vermilion Bird Empire who had awakened a Level 8 Extraordinary Talent.

As for those candidates who had not yet undergone the Awakening, the situation was the same across the four major Empires, with a probability of two to three percent.

The four major Empires all believed this was a good thing.

Because.

According to the current situation, although many people failed the Awakening, the number of high-level Extraordinary Talents far exceeded the past.

Not only were there Level 7 Extraordinary Talents, but there was even one at Level 8.

Judging from the current situation on Blue Star.

Compared to universal Awakening, the high-level officials of various countries actually hoped more for the Awakening of many Level 7, Level 8, or even Level 9 Extraordinary Talents.

If another peerless Genius like Xiao Weiqing could appear in a short period, that would be even better.

However.

Xiao Weiqing did not think so.

At least until the door in the Azure Dragon Divine Hall was investigated, it was hard to say whether this change was good or bad.
