Chapter 489: Chapter 503: The Talent Stone Broke?

“The dean is so young,” Mu Can communicated with Wang Cai in his Sea of Consciousness.

“He must be at the All Things Realm; his appearance is fixed at the moment of his breakthrough,” Wang Cai explained.

In the Supreme Interface, one simply cannot judge a person’s age by their appearance.

Judging a person by their appearance is the most taboo thing in the Supreme Interface.

“So young and already at the All Things Realm,” Mu Can felt a sense of emotion in his heart.

“What’s so surprising about that? There are strong and weak within the All Things Realm,” Wang Cai said nonchalantly.

Following the Heavenly Dao Thief had broadened Wang Cai’s horizons far beyond that of an ordinary person of the All Things Realm.

The young dean’s appearance immediately drew everyone’s attention.

In the Divine Wind Academy, seeing the dean was not an easy feat.

Upon seeing the dean appear in person, the white-clothed young man also reined in his previously arrogant demeanor, becoming cautious.

“This guy is quite hypocritical,” Mu Can thought to himself with a silent chuckle.

Old Devil Kuang squeezed next to the dean, trying to persuade him about something—it seemed he was determined to take that disciple.

The dean called over the white-clothed young man, spoke briefly with him, and then left.

Not being accepted as a Direct Disciple by the dean, the white-clothed young man’s face darkened a bit.

According to his own expectations, with his once-in-a-century talent, it was only right for him to become the Divine Wind Academy’s Direct Disciple.

But the result left him disappointed.

The commotion caused by the dean’s appearance slowly subsided, and the white-clothed young man was taken to one side.

Awaiting the end of the testing to choose a teacher, although Luo Tian was somewhat inferior to the white-clothed young man, he was also qualified to compete for the position of Direct Disciple.

According to the rules of the Divine Wind Academy, students with first and second-level talents have the right to choose their own teachers.

Luo Tian gave Mu Can an encouraging gesture.

Mu Can took a deep breath and walked forward with big strides.

He had once asked Wang Cai about his talent, but Wang Cai had been evasive and did not provide a clear answer.

However, one thing Wang Cai said made Mu Can let go of his concerns about his own talent.

“You already possess the Reincarnation Pearl, even if you have not a shred of talent, what does it matter?”

But today was the day when he needed to prove his talent.

Standing by the talent stone, Mu Can extended a steady hand and placed it on the talent stone.

When various colors rose from the surrounding talent stones, the stone in front of Mu Can did not react at all.

Out of ten talent stones, only this one showed no reaction, immediately capturing everyone’s attention.

It even attracted more attention than the appearance of a first-level talent just moments ago.

“Holy crap, does this dude not have an ounce of talent?”

“My fifth-level talent suddenly feels balanced; there’s actually someone worse than me in this world.”

“Hahaha, let me laugh first; is this talent stone broken or what?”

A group of newly tested students discussed animatedly on the side.

Nearly half of the people had been tested, and none had shown the same reaction as Mu Can.

“Can’t believe a student without any talent also came for the test, turning Divine Wind Academy into what kind of place?”

The white-clothed youth with first-level talent revealed a mocking smile and said faintly.

“Hmph, Mu Can definitely cannot be without talent; I suspect there is a problem with the talent stone,”

Luo Tian looked at the white-clothed youth’s face and felt waves of disgust, retorting without hesitation.

“A third-level talent, and you think you can stand here and talk back to me? Who gave you the courage?”

Upon hearing Luo Tian refute him in front of so many people, the white-clothed youth immediately spoke up.

“Talent doesn’t determine everything; what if you’re a first-level talent? You might not even be able to surpass Mu Can,”

Facing the white-clothed youth’s provocation, Luo Tian was not the least bit intimidated.

Still, Luo Tian was secretly worried for Mu Can.

The white-clothed youth wanted to speak again but suddenly saw the teachers on the side more excited than when he was testing his talent.

“Quick, get the dean to come back here, hurry!”

Amidst another commotion, a teacher personally went to invite the dean over.

“What on earth is going on? Are unluminous talent stones really that rare? Why alert the dean?”

The white-clothed youth glanced at the scene and wisely held his tongue.

“What is this, is it broken?” Mu Can kept one hand on the talent stone, scratching his head with the other.

What’s happening? Why did he feel a strange Spiritual Power entering his body through his hand, and it feels quite comfortable too?

“I reckon it’s the Reincarnation Pearl inside you acting up. I’ve never seen this kind of talent stone before; they didn’t have this stuff when I left the Supreme Realm.”

Wang Cai was also baffled.

At that moment, a crowd of teachers surrounded him.

“I didn’t break this,” Mu Can quickly noticed a crack forming on the previously smooth talent stone.

The crack gradually widened, and finally, the large talent stone split in two right down the middle.

“I am a Heavenly Level teacher here; do you wish to take me as your master?”

Several teachers crowded around and, without even glancing at the broken talent stone, directly asked Mu Can.

“Don’t listen to him, I’m also a Heavenly Level teacher, with many of my disciples on the Heavenly List; do you wish to take me as your master?”

“Get lost; take me as your master, and I can directly make you my successor.”

Several teachers began to argue back and forth, and the talent-less Mu Can had unexpectedly become the focal point of everyone’s attention.

“Stop fighting, you can have that first-level talent from earlier; I must take this disciple. Kid, if you choose me as your teacher, I’ll give you triple the Academic Points every month.”

Old Devil Kuang asserted his dominance with an authoritative declaration, startling the other teachers.

“Get lost, who are you trying to scare? Let me tell you, even if the dean comes today, we have to be fair,”

One teacher stated righteously, but his following words completely betrayed his agenda.

“I offer all my one hundred years at Divine Wind Academy just for this disciple.”

“Go away, get lost, shameless,” a group of teachers began to berate him.

“What on earth is happening, why do they seem so frenzied?”

“Is being without luminance stronger than first-level talent?”

“God, what am I seeing, no way, I’m going to go blind.”

Those who had just mocked Mu Can were now speechless.

None of the first-level talents had caused such a frenzy among the teachers.

A student who couldn’t even light up a talent stone was now making these teachers lose all face.

“Let me see, where is it?”

The dean returned again, but this time he flew in low from the sky.

He quickly squeezed his way toward Mu Can.
