Path of Alchemy Mastery
Chapter 490 - 504: Super Talent
CHAPTER 490: CHAPTER 504: SUPER TALENT
Seeing the dean appear, the teachers glanced at each other, speaking even more hastily.
"Become my disciple, and you’ll get anything you want."
"Become my disciple, and I guarantee you’ll have everything you need at the academy."
"Become my disciple, and I’ll make you my sole personal disciple."
"Become my disciple, stronger than any of them."
A group of teachers simply ignored the dean’s question and continued making various offers for Mu Can to become their disciple.
"No way, do you understand what you’re doing, squabbling like this? What kind of example is this?"
The dean’s expression changed as he sternly rebuked them.
The young man in white on the stage finally showed a smile after hearing the dean’s words.
"I told you, a person without talent definitely can’t enter Divine Wind Academy; even the dean has spoken."
The young man in white looked at Luo Tian with a cold, sarcastic tone, believing that only someone with his once-in-a-century top-notch talent deserved to be fought over by the teachers.
Luo Tian glanced at the young man in white and shook his head; it seemed like this guy needed a lesson.
"You can’t take him as a disciple." The dean looked at the teachers who had been silenced by his scolding and said coldly.
"Hahaha, look, the dean won’t even let him into Divine Wind Academy."
The young man in white laughed out loud. Now that the dean himself had stepped in to prevent the teachers from taking disciples, what could Mu Can do?
"I am interested in such a disciple, do any of you dare to compete with me?"
At this moment, the dean showed his imposing authority, and Mu Can felt the domineering aura of someone from the All Things Realm up close.
"Gah!" The smile on the young man in white’s face froze; he stared at the dean in complete bewilderment.
What did the dean just say? Why was this different from what he had expected?
"Hehe, got a slap in the face?" Luo Tian grinned as he looked at the young man in white. It felt as satisfying as if he had been the one to slap the young man’s face.
After hearing the dean’s assertive declaration, most of the teachers stopped talking.
Only the Mad Old Devil was still somewhat unconvinced.
"Dean, I feel this is unfair. I want to take a disciple to inherit my mantle, and as you know, if I can’t breakthrough to the All Things Realm, my lifespan may soon be exhausted." The Mad Old Devil looked at the dean and directly pointed out that his arrangement seemed rather inappropriate.
The dean also felt a bit troubled. A disciple that could suppress the Talent Stone without emitting any light is said to be once in a millennium.
This had inspired the normally reticent dean to take a liking to Mu Can, but seeing the Mad Old Devil’s state, he indeed hesitated.
"What if he studies Alchemy Technique under you as well?" the dean pondered and then asked.
He had no other intention in wanting to take Mu Can as a disciple other than the sheer joy of discovering talent and the desire to cultivate it.
"Is that possible?" The Mad Old Devil looked at the dean, his eyes filled with a pleading look.
"Yes." The dean nodded. Although it was a bit irregular, he could not refuse the request of a teacher who had contributed a lifetime to Divine Wind Academy.
"Thank you, Dean." The Mad Old Devil bowed deeply to the dean, his eyes brimming with tears.
...
"Dean, may I ask what’s going on here? This Talent Stone is broken, I don’t have to compensate for it, right?"
Mu Can pointed to the broken Talent Stone and asked timidly.
"Hahaha, of course not. Now, I have a question for you."
The dean laughed heartily. Although the Talent Stone was valuable, it was nothing compared to a student with a super talent.
"Are you willing to become my disciple?" the dean looked at Mu Can and asked.
"I am willing." Mu Can didn’t even think it over. Joining Divine Wind Academy was for the chance to find a place where he could rapidly improve his cultivation.
Now with the backing of the dean, only a fool would refuse.
"That’s great. Are you interested in Alchemy?" the dean asked again, gesturing towards the Mad Old Devil.
"The disciple has some understanding of Alchemy," Mu Can modestly stated.
In the third layer of the Reincarnation Pearl, he had thoroughly studied the Alchemy Techniques of the Supreme Interface.
"Well, then you follow him and also study Alchemy Technique during this time."
The dean spoke, increasingly satisfied with his disciple. Humble without being servile, calm without arrogance, very much to his liking.
"I’d like to ask, what exactly is going on here? Doesn’t no light appearing mean that I have no talent?"
Although Mu Can was still confused, he guessed there must be some issue with the Talent Stone.
"No light doesn’t mean no talent. The reason why this Talent Stone exhibits this behavior is only one: your talent has already reached the limit of this Talent Stone." The dean patiently explained to Mu Can.
"In the entire Supreme Interface, there is no one without talent," the dean continued upon seeing Mu Can’s befuddled look.
"I understand, is my talent actually that strong?" Mu Can said somewhat unconfidently. It would be embarrassing to cause such a mix-up in front of everyone.
"Don’t worry, the Talent Stone doesn’t make mistakes."
The dean finished speaking and grabbed Ye Tian’s wrist; Mu Can’s heart tightened, as it would be bad news if this All Things Realm expert discovered the existence of the Reincarnation Pearl within him.
However, to Mu Can’s surprise, the dean did not notice the Reincarnation Pearl within his body.
"Correct, your talent is indeed very high, high enough that the Talent Stone cannot measure it," the dean nodded with satisfaction. For Divine Wind Academy to have a disciple like this was indeed an event worth celebrating.
"Hehe." The Mad Old Devil appeared even happier than the dean and kept enthusiastically pulling Mu Can’s attention.
Unlike the dean, who as an All Things Realm master had many years left, he needed to find a suitable disciple soon or else he would have to take his knowledge to the grave.
"What’s going on?" Mu Can whispered to Wang Cai, his talent certainly shouldn’t be like this.
"It must be the effect of the Reincarnation Pearl; it’s constantly changing your body from within," Wang Cai considered and analyzed.
You should know that the Spiritual Energy contained within the Reincarnation Pearl is vast, if unleashed, it would be much more than the entire Three Realms.
With such a source of Spiritual Energy present inside Mu Can’s body every day.
It would be odd if Mu Can’s talent didn’t improve through such subtle influence.
"Maybe, but this seems to have gotten a bit out of hand." Mu Can had simply wanted to find a peaceful place to cultivate.
He hadn’t expected a talent test to lure out the big boss of Divine Wind Academy.
"No worries, with him as your backing, you don’t need to fear that Leng Qianqiu in the future."
Wang Cai consoled him.
Navigating the Supreme Interface without a powerful backer was impossible.
"Besides, later on, you can mention the no-man’s land incident to him."
After thinking, Wang Cai added.
The events occurring in the no-man’s land could very well affect the safety of all the Realms of Heaven.
