Chapter 202: The Talent System (1/2)

As the sun gradually hid above the blue clouds, Jake sat on his chair.

He had been on the chair for a few hours now and had no thoughts of standing up.

Jake was on a hunt for information. He had asked the hotel staff to provide him books from the nearest library at all costs.

Yet, he couldn't find what he was looking for.

On his table were many books that started with the word, ”theory”. Everything one of them was just based on one's speculation.

He needed one that could provide him with evidence.

One that could settle all his worries.

A few more minutes he chanced upon a book that seemed to not be theoretically and was already tested.

However, after reading it, he realized it was not what he wanted.

It only answered half of his question.

But on second thought, what did he want?

Jake delved deep in thoughts but was interrupted by the loud sound of the door opening.

He looked at the figure who entered the room. It was Kaleyx.

She was grinning as she said to him, ”This place sure has a lot of things, but first, you wouldn't believe what I found.”

Jake sighed at Kaleyx, ”What is it?”

She had been getting louder recently. He wondered if it would be a problem, but deep down, he knew it could never be a problem.

Kaleyx cooled down and brought out a pentagram star-shaped plate from her [Spatial Ring].

She passed it to Jake.

”What is it?” Jake asked for the umpteenth time.

”Alright. Alright. It is a [Spirit Device], the only item that couldn't be found elsewhere,” informed Kaleyx.

”A [Spirit Device]...hmmmm....,” Jake trailed.

He understood what it was.

In fact, it was something he desired very much.

It was an object that accurately measured one's talent. An object that showed one their true fate.

It was because of the implications of this object that it was banned from the southern main continent.

To prevent them from being bought and taken to the other islands, the sect inflated the amount of [Spirit Devices].

They also made the buyers swear an oath not to sell it out.

”It is said that [Spirit Devices] can never be false. Why don't we try it out?” offered Kaleyx.

As cultivators, they weren't exempted from being interested in knowing their talents.

There were a lot of things that could benefit them from knowing it.

”Alright,” agreed Jake.

Since the device was with him, he decided to go first.

He placed it on his right palm and asked for further instructions, ”What do I do next?”
