Chapter 6 Shock
Chapter 6 Shock
"I didn't expect that Jing'er's awakened profession is actually a summoner. This is the first summoner in our mansion. Congratulations, Duke." The Duchess's mood, which was not so good to begin with, suddenly became even worse when she saw the unconcealed joy and longing on Nangong Tao's face. So she deliberately spoke to interrupt Nangong Tao's thoughts about that bitch.
Nangong Tao was very unhappy that the Duchess interrupted his memory of Qiao Huan'er, but today was Nangong Jing's birthday party and Nangong Tao didn't want to ruin the party because of such a small matter, so he just gave the Duchess an unhappy look and regained his composure.
"Continue the test." Nangong Tao instructed the butler.
The butler bowed to Nangong Tao, then took out a transparent stick. If you look closely, you can see that there are shallow scratches on the stick, and there are exactly nine scratches in total.
This transparent stick is used to test talent, so it is also called the talent stick. One mark represents one star, and you can light up as many spaces as you have talent.
When the butler took out the talent testing stick, everyone, already shocked by Nangong Jing's summoner talent, subconsciously held their breath. After all, cultivation talent was more important than anything else. If Nangong Jing only had a one- or two-star talent, then even if he was a summoner, he would still be useless. But if...
Nangong Jing couldn't help but feel nervous as he looked at the stick that was about to decide his fate. If he had been very confident that he could change his fate when he came here, he was a little uncertain now. He only hoped that God would have mercy on him once and allow him to have the same cultivation talent as in his previous life.
"Seventh Young Master, just hold this stick and do nothing. Just empty your mind." The butler patiently taught Nangong Jing how to use this gifted stick.
Nangong Jing nodded heavily, then took a deep breath and nervously held the stick.
After holding the stick, Nangong Jing slowly closed his eyes and forced himself to empty his mind. Fortunately, Nangong Jing was an adult soul after all. Although he was a little nervous at first and couldn't empty his mind, he quickly adjusted his mood and emptied his mind.
The moment Nangong Jing cleared his mind, the stick in his hand began to glow, shooting from the bottom to the top. No, it hadn't reached the top yet. Everyone had originally thought that Nangong Jing, like Xuanyuan Xingyao, had a nine-star talent, but a closer look revealed that the scratch at the top hadn't exceeded it, and the topmost space hadn't been stained with color.
In other words, Nangong Jing only has eight-star talent and not nine-star talent. This result made everyone except Nangong Tao feel relieved. If Nangong Jing really possessed the talent of a nine-star summoner, then not only the Duke's Mansion but the entire Dragon Shadow Empire would hold him in the palm of their hands.
But after a sigh of relief, everyone couldn't help but reveal a look of resentment. Although eight-star summoners weren't as talented as nine-star summoners, their talent was still rare in the Dragon Shadow Empire. Summoners were even rarer than mages and warriors. They could already imagine the uproar that would ripple through the Dragon Shadow Empire once news of Nangong Jing's eight-star summoner talent spread.
Nangong Tao's wife and concubines all wanted to kill Nangong Jing with their eyes at this moment, because they knew that although Nangong Tao was angry with Nangong Jing because Qiao Huan'er died while giving birth to Nangong Jing, from today on, Nangong Tao would vigorously cultivate Nangong Jing because of his talent.
The entire Duke's Mansion has limited resources. If more resources are used on Nangong Jing, then the resources used on their children will inevitably become less. How can they be willing to see this?
The Duchess could be said to be the only one who was a little calmer, because although the eldest son she gave birth to was not as talented as Nangong Jing, he was also six stars or even close to seven stars, which was not bad. He was also a thunder magician with very strong combat power and was highly valued by Nangong Tao.
But Nangong Jing's sudden appearance would still affect her son's resources, so... The Duchess looked at Nangong Jing meaningfully. Being a summoner is not so easy to train. If you are not careful, you will easily be attacked by the summoned monsters. If Nangong Jing dies from the monsters' attack...
"Congratulations, father, congratulations, seventh brother." While everyone was still in shock, Nangong Mu, as the eldest son, was the first to stand up and congratulate Nangong Tao and Nangong Jing.
Nangong Jing only realized that the test was over after hearing Nangong Mu's voice. When he opened his eyes and saw the light in the talent stick that had not completely dissipated, a hint of shock flashed across Nangong Jing's eyes.
Nangong Jing had originally thought it would be good to be the same as his previous life, but he unexpectedly found himself with an even better talent. Eight-star summoner talent! There weren't many in the entire Dragon Shadow Empire with eight-star summoner talent. However, Nangong Jing quickly calmed down. In his previous life, he only had a seven-star magician talent, which had already drawn the jealousy of many of the young masters in the mansion and led to their murder. Now that his talent was even better than his previous life, they would definitely not let him go. He had to be more careful.
