The token glowed with a faint luminescence.

Almost instantly, the token left Piers’ hand and hovered in mid-air.

Time slowly passed, neither Piers nor Milton Cheney said anything.

Milton, who had some understanding, naturally knew what the token in front of him represented.

This token represented an opportunity, but an opportunity was just that – an opportunity. Whether he could seize it was up to Milton himself.

Of course, Milton would not let an opportunity slip through his fingers.

Time slipped away bit by bit, the silent atmosphere enveloping both Piers and Milton.

However, this atmosphere didn’t last long.

After a short while, the silence was broken.

And it was the hovering token that broke the silence.

“Bang!!”

The token exploded, producing a not insignificant sound.

The next moment, an illusory circular door appeared where the token had exploded.

The moment the illusory circular door appeared, a middle-aged man stepped out from it.

As the middle-aged man appeared, his gaze lingered briefly on Piers before shifting to Milton.

When Milton saw the man’s eyes, his heart tensed.

In reality, Milton didn’t display any particular emotions. After all, he had been through many grand occasions.

A Level 3 Spiritualist was hardly enough to trigger any unique emotions in him.

His clenched heart was merely a subconscious bodily reaction.

It seemed Milton’s nonchalance had aroused the man’s interest.

After the man’s gaze lingered on Milton for a moment, he spoke:

“Not bad.”

The man’s voice was very calm.

But his words brought a touch of joy to Piers’ face.

He knew that the man summoned by the activation of the token was actually an examiner from the Soul Academy.

The examiner had a good first impression of Milton which, although wouldn’t directly influence the final results, might still indirectly affect it to an extent.

After all, first impressions matter a lot.

“You have thirty-two days until the examination begins. Would you like to leave now or wait until just before the examination starts?”

“If there are matters you need to attend to, I can come collect you again in thirty-two days.”

The middle-aged man naturally knew that Milton was the one scheduled to take the examination this year, and so he asked Milton.

“I’ll leave just before the examination begins.”

Milton replied.

He did indeed have some matters to take care of.

He hadn’t seen his parents in this world for four years, and naturally, he needed to visit them this time.

After all, the fact that he had been able to grow up safely and successfully enter the Wind Spirit Academy in this life was largely due to his parents from this world.

Milton wasn’t someone to disregard everything for the sake of his Reincarnation Simulation goal.

Since the circumstances allowed it, Milton naturally wouldn’t leave without saying goodbye.

Moreover, given the high probability that he would be away for a long time after going to the branch of the Soul Academy, he felt he should visit Breeze Town one last time.

“That’s fine, take this.”

“Activate it after thirty days and I will come to take you to the examination.”

After hearing Milton’s decision, the middle-aged man nodded and spoke while producing a round bead, which he casually tossed to Milton.

Milton caught the bead, which felt very cool to the touch. Other than that, he didn’t feel anything else.

However, Milton knew that this bead too was a spiritual object, just not a natural one.

“I understand.”

Milton pocketed the bead and responded.

“Hmm, what is your talent?”

Seeing Milton put away the bead, the middle-aged man seemed to have no intention of leaving right away.

Perhaps Milton’s composed demeanor had piqued his curiosity.

The middle-aged man casually asked this question as if making small talk.

Upon hearing this, Piers, who had been silent, perked up.

He glanced at Milton, then refocused his gaze on the middle-aged man.

Piers was curious to see how this Level 3 Spiritualist would react when he learned of Milton’s talent.

“Eight and a half grids.”

Milton replied truthfully.

This was not really a secret. Since the Level 3 Spiritualist in front of him wanted to know, it did no harm for Milton to tell him.

After all, the talent test was also part of the forthcoming Soul Academy examination.

Therefore, Milton did not hold back, and simply told the truth.

The Spiritualists in the Soul Realm and the Wizards in the Wizard Realm both possess this concept of Talent.

However, the way to distinguish Talent is not the same.

The Wizard Realm uses level 5 Talent to confirm the quality of a Wizard’s Talent.

Above level 1 quality, there are also special qualities.

However, a Wizard’s Talent and a Spiritualist’s Talent have significant differences.

There are many Paths in the Wizard Realm; while Talent is important, it’s not as important as one might think.

After all, if one doesn’t have high Spiritual Power Talent, they could choose the Bloodline Wizard Path.

Or they could choose the White Wizard Path, or the Dark Wizard Path, or even become a Magic Device Wizard or a Magic Array Wizard.

But the Soul Realm is different.

A Spiritualist’s Talent is divided into nine grids.

Whether it’s now, or ten million years ago, or ten million years later, Spiritualists’ Talent is divided in this way.

And in the Soul Realm, there is only one Transcendent Path: that of the Spiritualist.

So, Talent is of particular importance.

In the assessment of the Soul Academy, Talent is the first item assessed.

And it’s the simplest one.

After all, those with the confidence to participate in the Soul Academy’s assessment must absolutely not have Talent that is too mediocre.

“How much?”

Upon hearing Milton Cheney’s words, the middle-aged man was taken aback.

Then, seemingly reflexively, he asked again.

This counter-question made Milton feel something stir within him.

With his countless experiences, Milton naturally understood what it meant for a Level 3 Spiritualist to counter-question this way.

It meant that the first reaction in the Level 3 Spiritualist’s mind was to not believe in his words.

Why wouldn’t he believe?

If there were quite a few people with eight-and-a-half-grid Talent in the Soul Academy, then the Level 3 Spiritualist standing in front of him would definitely not have this kind of reaction.

At this moment, Milton seems to have discovered that his so-called “Highly Talented” Talent might not be as simple as he thought.

“Eight and a half grids.”

Even though some thoughts had arisen in his heart, Milton didn’t allow them to show on his face.

In fact, it wasn’t just Milton whose mind was teeming with thoughts.

Seeing the middle-aged man’s reaction, Piers—who had been focusing his gaze on the middle-aged man the entire time—was also taken aback.

He also didn’t expect a Level 3 Wizard to have such a big reaction to a person’s Talent.

Before this, Piers thought that the middle-aged man would at most be surprised and then move on.

Sometimes, the farthest someone can see is decided by their own sight.

Piers was only a Level 2 Spiritualist and hadn’t entered the Soul Academy, much less its branch Academy.

So, he naturally couldn’t understand what eight-and-a-half-grid Talent represented.

Although Milton had many experiences, this was his first Reincarnation in this world.

Even if you add his understanding of this world when he was in the Wizard Realm, it would still only cover a very small part of the world.

Therefore, Milton knew his Talent was high, but it would be incorrect to say that Milton had a deep understanding of a Spiritualist’s Talent.

After all, in Milton’s mind, he would instinctively compare a Spiritualist’s Talent to a Wizard’s.

Milton considered that his eight-and-a-half-grid Talent was probably equivalent to a Level 1 Wizard’s Talent in the Wizard Realm.

“Eight and a half grids…”

The middle-aged man muttered to himself, seemingly digesting this information.

“Would you mind if I tested your Talent now?”

The next moment, the middle-aged man spoke up.

He didn’t say anything else and just asked Milton a question.

“No, I don’t mind.”

Milton also did not refuse.

After all, his Talent was obvious and not something he feared testing.

A short while later, when Milton’s Talent was tested on the spot, the middle-aged man stared at the Talent Column in his hand.

On the Talent Column, which had a total of nine grids, more than eight grids had lit up with a red light.

“To be honest, I have lived for more than two thousand years and this is the first time I’m seeing a Spiritualist Talent of more than eight grids.”

“You don’t even need to take the assessment. The Soul Academy has a hidden rule where Spiritualist Seeds with over eight-grid Talent can directly enter the Soul Academy.”

“And it’s the Soul Academy’s Headquarters at that.”

The middle-aged man, with a hint of nostalgia, put away the Talent Column in his hand.

Upon hearing this, Milton instinctively looked at Piers who was beside him.

That’s because Piers hadn’t told him about this privilege of having Talent over eight grids, resulting in Milton’s preparations for the assessment.

But all Milton saw was a puzzled Piers.
