“Using Bristle Serpent’s skin to steal skills and talents is no different from those evil trainers who seek forbidden knowledge!” David Jones’s pupils suddenly shrank.

As far as he knew, there had never been a trainer in the Flowery Kingdom with two Innate Talents, yet the existence of the Bristle Serpent’s skin reminded him that as long as one was bold enough, a trainer’s innate talent could be stolen!

“The school’s higher-ups must know the effect of Bristle Serpent’s skin!” murmured David Jones.

Illusion-Piercing Eye was limited by his Arcane Star Cultivation; it couldn’t see through everything for now but could still see the effects of the Bristle Serpent’s skin clearly.

There are many hidden talents in Rosewood College. Although there might not be anyone with talents as formidable as Illusion-Piercing Eye, there must be some with slightly inferior Spirit Eye talents.

“For someone with ordinary talents, having an extra innate talent only poses a permanent threat and does more harm than good.”

After sighing, David Jones put the Bristle Serpent’s skin, which he had been gripping tightly, into the Star Ring.

The skills the Bristle Serpent’s skin could steal were limited to level VI. He estimated that even the Innate Talent that could be copied wouldn’t be as powerful as his own awakened Innate Talent.

With this realization, David Jones’s interest in the Bristle Serpent’s skin suddenly waned.

However, this was only for David Jones; the ordinary people in Flowery Kingdom who had not awakened an Innate Talent and those with mundane talents after awakening probably accounted for 99% of the population.

Human nature cannot withstand temptation!

If the information about Bristle Serpent’s skin leaked, many unwilling to accept mediocrity might take the wrong path, even if it leads them to a dead end.

David Jones didn’t think too much about it now, as this matter concerning the nation was far from him.

The Trainer Guild in the Flowery Kingdom managed to instill the knowledge that trainers could only awaken one Innate Talent in people’s minds, indicating that the guild and the government controlled such information to the extreme.

Bristle Serpent’s skin might be one of the few exceptions among the rare Pet Resources.

“Mew!”

Daphne raised her fluffy paw and gently wiped David Jones’s furrowed brows with her soft pad.

Seeing this, Rainbow’s eyes suddenly widened, glaring at Daphne angrily.

“It’s alright, I just suddenly remembered something,” said David Jones, expelling a sigh of turbid air and turning his head to look at the passage of the portal that appeared in front of him.

“Let’s keep going!”

Perhaps due to his increasingly strong body, David Jones now experienced no heavy impact sensation when using space transfer and could even vaguely sense the ever more intimate and sticky spatial power in the void.

“If I use Instant Teleportation frequently in the future, would my physique change as well?”

David Jones looked at the Origin Star Space force surging in his palm and suddenly had this absurd thought.

Soon, the transfer was over, and a faintly glowing galaxy stretched across numerous stars was suddenly reflected in David Jones’s eyes.

“What a magnificent sight!”

As he looked at the magnificent and beautiful galaxy around him, David Jones was somewhat entranced, even thinking of the Milky Way in his previous world.

In contrast, the three pets merely glanced around indifferently, losing interest and shifting their gaze.

“Inheritance Trial Level Five: Meditate for more than fifteen minutes under the conditions when the world first opened and the celestial stars descended to pass the trial.

(Note: The falling celestial stars are both illusory and real. Those who can pass this level with great determination will become kings and achieve the epic legends.)”

Upon hearing the explanation from the Artifact Spirit, David Jones couldn’t help but swallow nervously. His eyes stared tightly at the distant starry sky, revealing a faint golden glow in his pupils.

He didn’t know what the falling celestial stars were, but through his Illusion- Piercing Eye, he could detect the deep danger hidden within this dazzling star river.

“This trial is personal, you three stay here and don’t intervene, just wait for me to pass safely.”

After instructing the three pets, David closed his eyes slowly and began to meditate on the Taikoo Black Dragon Zodiac Chart.

The first minute passed uneventfully, nothing happened, but the more it continued like this, the more David couldn’t let go of the rising alarm in his heart.

“Rumbling!”

The next second, under the watchful gaze of the three pets, the distant star river started to twist and fluctuate, and a large star suddenly broke free from the river’s orbit, smashing heavily towards David with an extremely horrifying speed.

Daphne bristled and instinctively stood in front of David.

In comparison to the vast and boundless celestial star that obscured the sky, Daphne’s body seemed extremely tiny at this moment, but the blazing flames and fearless fighting spirit that burned on her made David think of moths fluttering towards fire.

A faint light flickered on the falling celestial star, and Daphne, who was in front, went straight through the illusory celestial star, landing on an eerie, star-covered ground.

“Meow?” (• O •)? (Is it an illusion?)

It looked back in surprise, its eyes filled with confusion.

Hollowing Daphne was Rainbow, who activated her Frost Starfall skill, condensing a relatively small ice star in comparison to the celestial star, but actually quite enormous, and sent it towards the falling celestial star.

However, the same thing happened – the falling celestial star not only ignored Rainbow’s Frost Starfall skill, but also overlooked Rainbow herself.

Due to the presence of the loyal skill, the only pet that didn’t take action among the three pets was the Gluttonous Beast.

Its eyes were tightly locked on the falling celestial star, but its body stubbornly stayed in place.

“What is this thing?”

David could perceive the approaching destructive star through his Psychic Power, and with a slight movement of his eyelids, he forcefully suppressed the panic that arose within him.

However, the increasingly close heatwave and visible howling shockwaves constantly reminded David that he would die if he didn’t dodge now!

David gritted his teeth, deciding to ignore the incoming celestial star and even closed his perception of the outside world beforehand, forcibly concentrating all his energy on the cultivation of the Taikoo Black Dragon Chart.

The moment the celestial star fell to the ground, David’s body stiffened, feeling as if he was inside a furnace, and the intense heat made him feel like his body was burning.

“It’s an illusion, it’s all an illusion. I have a Fire-Resist Bead with me, so I can’t be ignited by the fire.”

David held his mind tightly, and in such a perilous environment, his Arcane Star began to emit an incredibly bright light, causing the Taurus Zodiac Star to light up on the Taikoo Black Dragon Chart floating above his Arcane Star Space. “Rumbling!”

Then, the celestial star made contact with David’s body, causing extreme heat to explode, and the pain that came from deep within his soul not only interrupted his meditation and cultivation abruptly but also made him reflexively jump to his feet.

“Hiss!”

Because the pain was too intense, David couldn’t help but gasp for air.

He then looked around at the calm starry sky and felt the faint pain coming from his Arcane Star before chuckling bitterly.

“So that’s how it is, when the truth appears as an illusion, the illusion becomes the truth! The first test didn’t even last two minutes, let alone fifteen!”
