    With yers bing stronger and stepping into the first-order professional level and second-order elite level, a tiny minority had a chance of awakening their talents.


    However, research indicated that these talented yers who could awaken their talents already showed extraordinary promise even before their talents manifested.


    This was known as recessive talent.


    The probability of extraordinary second-generation yers being born with talents was much greater than that of ordinary people. However, when the base number of ordinary yers increased, one hero after another emerged.


    There were many types of talents, but they could essentially be divided into


    two categories:


    Individual talents and strategic talents.


    As the name suggests, individual talents included abilities like fire and water spouting, telekinesis, spiritual links, and so on.


    Strategic talents, on the other hand, affected groups.


    A yer with a shooting talent couldmand ranged units, giving them longer range and faster shooting speed.


    A yer with Spearman Talent could boost the damage output of their spearmen, and also had a higher probability of recruiting this type of unit when using a random remnant soul.


    This was a type ofpatibility.


    Born to bepatible with the spearmen.


    Mu Yuan, this young man, was naturallypatible with skeleton soldiers. Hemanded with great calm and good tactics, making him an invaluable talent.


    Even if the talent only enhanced ordinary three-star skeletons, it was not bad


    at all.


    After all, the basic units still made up the majority of the armymanded by


    a Great Lord.


    Moreover…


    This young man was incredibly lucky.


    Otherwise, even with histent talent for skeleton soldiers, it would have been impossible to train them to be this deft in just a few days. This clearly indicated the unlocking of wisdom.


    Examiner Jiang looked at Bone Four, who had just scored a double kill, “Your skeleton soldier is very good. It’s worth nurturing. Hmm, I suggest you give it a name to distinguish it from the others. This will help the unit grow in wisdom. One day, it may even awaken a true sense of self, which would be an immense stroke of luck.”


    Mu Yuan could only promise to give it a name when he got home.


    He couldn’t really tell them that the skeleton already had a name, Bone Four. It meant it was the fourth skeleton soldier, with three older brothers. This morning, the third brother, Bone Three, had just evolved to the skeleton warrior level.


    Since this was the examination venue, and he had received praise from Examiner Jiang, he was sure to get extra benefits. Mu Yuan then led his group of battered skeletons away from the hall through a side passage.


    Well he definitely couldn’t move all these crippled skeletons by himself. The mark of the chosen couldn’t include them all either, so the sentries summoned by the onsite staff had to carry one each into the treatment room.


    “Undead? Head to room number eight.”


    “Hmm, undead energy is harmful to the human body, the yer can wait outside.”


    The person here, who was reading a newspaper, looked up and directed him through his sses.


    Mu Yuan thanked him and watched as the alloy door slowly closed, much hke family members waiting outside when a patient was having a CT scan.


    In just a few seconds, the door, designed to shield against undead energy radiation, slowly opened again. From it emerged one after another fully recovered skeleton soldiers, their armor and swords shining as if they were brand new.


    Mu Yuan:”!!!”


    He felt like he had missed out on an opportunity to score free equipment. Considering that it had been difficult for Bone Four and the others toe out, Mu Yuan felt it would be a waste not to make use of this opportunity. So, surrounded by a group of skeletons, he headed to the training area next door.


    He wanted to practice manual control.


    In case of an emergency in reality, he wouldn’t be caught off guard. He felt there was still a lot of room for improvement in his performance. After all, it had been his first time, and he had been a bit nervous.


    yers Association, main lobby.


    The neers, watching everything unfold, were gathered around the big screen with their enthusiasm still strong.


    Although they could only see the examinee numbers, the numbers of the ‘seed yers’, the whales, and two or three ordinary new yers, were no secret thanks to some gossiping yers who shared information tirelessly.


    “Master Tan, who’s currently at the top of the rankings, is truly deserving. He’s the heir of Baijiang Property, after all. He’s so powerful because he’s rich – I’m really envious! Even our elite yer Ou Huang from our ordinary yer group can’tpete with him.”


    “I heard Ou Huang has several skeleton soldiers and has developed very quickly. But in the end, an elite yer is no match for a whale. Forget aboutpeting with Master Tan – Ou Huang has dropped to the fourth ce.” “Indeed, Master Tan is impressive, particrly his ability to throw money around. Though he’s not a second generation yer, his family is undoubtedly wealthier than many veteran yers.”


    “Master Tan isn’t going to monopolize the leaderboard indefinitely, is he? All the second-generation yers can’t surpass him? Ugh, you second-generation yers need to step up!”


    The crowd mused, counting the rookie bosses who had not yet been assessed.


    Number 66, 77, 96,101…


    As for number 54? Apart from Mai Wa and White Fox, no one cared about such a random number. People were only concerned about whether the rookie bosses could reach the top of the leaderboard.


    They just wanted to enjoy the spectacle, and witness a bloody struggle.


    “There it is! The new leaderboard champion has arrived! Let’s see… wait, who is number 54?”


    The hall fell silent for a moment. The crowd exchanged puzzled nces – surprised, shocked, and bewildered.


    Only in a certain corner, Old Brother Mai Wa and Miss White Fox exchanged nces, simultaneously letting out a scream of disbelief.


    “Holy shit!”


    Mu Yuan had no idea that he, just an ordinary new yer, had summoned some ordinary skeleton soldiers and was unexpectedly awarded a high score by the very talent-loving head examiner.


    Seeing this, the other examiners also gave high scores one after another. After all, this was a neer who had received genius support. His future was promising. Even if his current strength was not as strong as the top whales, it was reasonable for him, amoner, to score higher.


    It was all within the allowed rules.


    (Mu Yuan: I don’t want it, though!)


    But since he had it, he had to ept it.


    in the future, if he wanted topete for a variety of resources, he wouldn’t be able to keep a low profile, would he?


    Sigh, he was just too outstanding.


    Mu Yuan originally nned toplete the assessment, have lunch outside and then leave, but forgot that the resource distribution would only take ce after the assessment waspletely finished, and all the quota were finalised. Even though he had already secured his slot, he still had to wait.


    Mu Yuan had no choice but to seize the opportunity to sell off a few scattered remnant souls, and buy Little Skeleton and Slime Remnant Souls from several stalls.


    No joke, due to therge number of yers in the yers Association today, all kinds of remnant souls were plentiful.


    Mu Yuan left the territory matters entirely to Dead Bone, and wandered from booth to booth himself, choosing, haggling, and after a busy half day, he finallypleted his shopping task for the day.


    “I really worked hard.”


    “But the gains were quite extraordinary. I bought a total of 10 Little Skeleton Remnant Souls, 10 Slime Remnant Souls, and 1 Falcon’s Residual Soul.


    “Anding up is today’s highlight, the excellent neers’ support package from Xuan Country’s Authority.”


    By evening, the assessment was over.


    Under the guidance of the staff, the sixteen excellent neers, who had won the neer support packages, went to the designated location to collect their resources.


    Mu Yuan looked around, and sure enough, most of them were the seed neers introduced by Old Brother Mai Wa.


    Among the rest of the strangers, he surprisingly discovered a familiar figure.


    “Liver Emperor?”


    “Did you pass as well? I was lucky and just made the cut. Thanks to the half day I spent grinding earlier.”


    “Same here.”


    After Liver Emperor passed the assessment, he continued grinding obliviously, but he had vaguely heard the rumors about candidate number 54-


    Wait, hisckluster pupils gradually focused on Mu Yuan.


    He slowly typed a question mark: You call this luck?


    Compared to me, who just barely passed, you’re leagues ahead. I must’ve not grinded enough, I need to work harder..
