Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 498 Time-Stop Talent
"This time, your team did an excellent job on the mission."

"I hope you can examine Yunluo and Lanfa's talents and see if you can awaken them."

"Currently, our Yan Kingdom team has reached a bottleneck in talent development."

"Before we enter the Sea God Abyss, could you please take the lead in this research, Ye Bai?"

"And we also hope that you can help us select enough talented people."

"You discovered and nurtured the talents of Lanfa and Yunluo."

"The nationwide talent awakening ceremony will be held in three days."

"I hope you can be the host for this year's event."

Marshal Huanglong suddenly spoke.

The presiding officer is responsible for the overall leadership of the talent awakening ceremony.

In Yan Kingdom, several million people undergo the talent awakening ceremony every year.

There needs to be someone specifically assigned to rate individuals with special talents, so that appropriate resources can be allocated to promote their growth.

"Does Marshal Huanglong mean that I need to come up with a plan?"

Marshal Huanglong had the same idea.

"Yes, this talent awakening ceremony is very important to our Yan Kingdom."

"If Yan Kingdom wants to continue to grow stronger, the addition of fresh blood is of paramount importance."

"I hope to find some people with special talents and increase our efforts to cultivate them."

"As for your journey to the Sea God Abyss to deliver the task to the Rooster Town Pillar, you can wait until after the Talent Awakening Ceremony is over."

"At the same time, Ye Bai, you have another very important task this time, which is to find the mole."

“Every year during our talent awakening ceremony, a large amount of information is leaked.”

"Although we have increased the intensity of the search, the results are not very obvious."

“Every year, there are still several talented individuals who are assassinated, which really breaks our hearts.”

Ye Bai felt that this task would be difficult to complete.

"It would be best if we could find the mole, so that we can guarantee the safety of the students."

Ye Bai nodded. It didn't matter; the system would help him.

Since Marshal Huanglong has emphasized this many times, I estimate the system will tell me the list of traitors tonight.

"Alright, Marshal Huanglong, let me think about the procedures for this talent awakening ceremony."

This task is not easy to solve.

Ye Bai wasn't immune to assassination attempts either; his former classmate, who was a scheming woman, was assassinated by a killer from the United States.

However, Ye Bai was always curious about how the intelligence was transmitted.

Why did the United States obtain intelligence so soon after the awakening ceremony results were announced?

Which link went wrong?

"Ye Bai, next, Lady Bat will take you to the Awakening Ritual Center."

"There, you will contact the super-brain Shennong."

"Super Brain Shennong is a super brain system independently developed by the Yan Kingdom after Fuxi and Nuwa."

"Its functions may not be as powerful as those of Fuxi and Nuwa, but its secrecy is top-notch."

Ye Bai was speechless after hearing Marshal Huanglong's words.

The secrecy was top-notch; how did the American assassins know?

Marshal Huanglong, seeing Ye Bai's surprised look, realized that he had said the wrong thing.

He coughed a few times and turned his face away.

"Alright, is there anything else you all want to tell Ye Bai? Otherwise, we'll call it a day."

Just then, Marshal Qilin encountered a problem.

"The seven stars are not yet complete. Apart from the awakening of the North Star Wolf Blade and the Martial Melody Peacock Fan, there are still five soul weapons that have not found a host."

"This task must continue; we have already begun inscribing the Qi Luck Array."

"The sooner the Big Dipper comes together, the greater the rise in the fortune of the Yan Kingdom will be."

"I don't want the army of angels and demons to descend before we've gathered all seven stars of the Big Dipper."

"Ye Bai, do you have any good ideas on how to quickly gather the Big Dipper stars so that the information won't be transmitted out?"

After hearing Marshal Qilin's concerns, Ye Bai once again placed his hopes on the system.

"Alright then, Marshal Qilin, I will prioritize finding suitable candidates for the remaining five Soul Weapons."

"I will try my best to gather all the suitable candidates after the talent awakening ceremony."

Marshal Qilin was very satisfied with Ye Bai's answer: "How about this, after we find the suitable candidates for the Big Dipper, we will go with you to the Sea God Abyss to guard it."

"It's a good opportunity to work on the team's chemistry."

Strangely enough, the remaining five Horcruxes have not reacted at all.

The five soul artifacts—the Giant Gate Shield, the Prosperity Abacus, the Literary Star Iron Pen, the Integrity Double Axes, and the Broken Army Spear—floated silently above the Hall of Fortune.

Summoned by Ye Bai, it fell from the sky and entered Ye Bai's beast-taming space.

"Generally, once a suitable user appears, a Horcrux will automatically seek out a suitable user."

"That's how Beichen Tianlang Blade found you back then."

"But these five Horcruxes haven't made any move at all, so I have a guess."

"Is it because the suitable candidates for the Soul Weapon are too weak that the Soul Weapon did not sense their presence?"

Marshal Qilin's words make a lot of sense, and Ye Bai also supports this view.

"If my guess is correct, it is indeed possible that the Big Dipper will not be able to be assembled before the army of angels and demons arrives."

Marshal Qilin was somewhat depressed.

"Oh, right, Ye Bai, here's another report about the Myriad Dragon Slash."

"In other counties, a royal tomb was discovered, which is said to contain many traces of the slaying of ten thousand dragons."

"In order to become emperor, this prince even devised a plan to sever many dragon veins."

Marshal Suzaku's sudden announcement of this news delighted Ye Bai.

If the Spirit of the Candle Dragon wants to evolve into the Spirit of the Ancestral Dragon, the Myriad Dragon Slash and the dragon energy emanating from the dragon vein are indispensable.

Each time the Myriad Dragons Slash cuts through a dragon vein, it seals the dragon vein's spirit and dragon energy onto the sword.

The older the Ten Thousand Dragons Slash is, the stronger it will be.

After all, everyone calls it the Ten Thousand Dragon Slash, but some call it the Hundred Thousand Dragon Slash, while others only call it the Ten Thousand Dragon Slash.

There are still differences between them.

"I'll tell you the location. The tomb has been sealed off. When you have time, go and take a look at the tomb."

"If the tomb owner has turned into a zombie, kill the tomb owner directly."

After Ye Bai left the Hall of Fortune, his back was soaked with cold sweat.

There was no other reason than that the marshals were simply too enthusiastic.

They were all eager to get the task assigned to them.

What Yan Kingdom lacks now is high-end combat power.

Each of the pillars of the nation has a backlog of tasks.

The marshals naturally wouldn't let Ye Bai have any free time.

After returning to Imperial University, Ye Bai first met with his grandmaster.

"Ye Bai, I heard about your destruction of the Abyss Gate. You did a great job."

"However, there is one thing you should pay attention to."

"The civilization of the Great Old Ones is far more advanced than that of our Earth."

"You must be careful of divine retribution." "This time, thanks to you for destroying the Abyss Gate, the school has decided to grant you the rank of associate professor and assign you to lead a subject."

Ye Bai blinked.

The salary of an associate professor is one thing, but what's with the "heading a discipline" part?

They're not going to make me a teacher, are they?

"Yes, just like you're thinking now, I want you to become a teacher."

"However, you probably don't have that much free time, so let's just leave it at that."

Ye Bai didn't get the word "calculated," but instead Su Qingxian asked him to livestream his online classes.

She felt that Ye Bai was very skilled in this area, and if he shared his experience, it would definitely help cultivate many talented individuals.

"Sure, I'll do a live stream if I have time."

Ye Bai plans to start his live stream after arriving at the Sea God Abyss and once the situation has stabilized.

"Then it's settled."

Ye Bai couldn't refuse Su Qingxian's invitation, after all, she was his grandmaster and had given him a lot of help.

As the current president of Imperial University, Su Qingxian must prioritize the overall situation and cultivate more outstanding talents from the university's perspective.

It seems the incubation center won't be able to open for the time being.

Kui Mulang's job was already quite demanding.

Now that we've become the Big Dipper, I originally thought there wouldn't be too many tasks.

Now they've all been crammed in at once.

However, if we put ourselves in his shoes, if the Nurturing House didn't open, Ye Bai could have expanded his business to the Sea God Abyss.

After all, the pet masters stationed in the Sea God Abyss have a need for their pets to evolve.

Ye Bai could conduct some research by evolving pet beasts.

"In that case, we need to take a good look at what kind of pets the pet masters stationed in the Sea God Abyss have."

"Firstly, it allows me to see the value of training them; secondly, it can also form a legion war and improve our combat capabilities."

Ye Bai has been working non-stop for the past three days, sometimes even neglecting to eat.

He finally formulated the relevant systems and requirements for the Talent Awakening Center and conducted training there.

Ye Bai also made corresponding changes to the talent awakening process.

First, he divided talents into elemental, special, and combat categories, with each category further subdivided.

For example, the elemental categories include metal, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, ice, wind, light, darkness, space, saint, and battle, etc.

When the school is conducting its awareness campaign, it reports whichever category it encounters.

The intelligent brain system will screen and archive the data.

For example, the element affinity of wind belongs to the element category of wind.

Screening at the source in this way can reduce the burden on the AI.

When the demands for reform reached the schools, the teachers were full of complaints.

Because this increased the workload for no reason.

Normally, when they awaken their talents, they only need to report the exceptionally gifted students; it doesn't require much effort at all.

Now they have to fill out forms, like questionnaires.

Although there are usually only about forty people in the class, the workload is still considerable.

During this period, Ye Bai sneezed much more frequently.

At this moment, Ye Bai was sitting in the Talent Awakening Data Center, closely monitoring the fluctuations in the data.

He needed to find out where the problem lay and what methods the mole used to pass on the information.

At this point, data that had begun to awaken started to be entered.

Ye Bai typed on the keyboard while reviewing the students with special talents.

At this moment, a talent was refreshed and appeared.

Ye Bai's eyes widened in surprise when he took a look.

This guy's talent is related to time.

SS-rank talent: Time Stop!
My goodness, this year has really started off great! We actually have a classmate with an SS-level time-stop talent.

Ye Bai summoned Lan Fa and had him create a mirror image of himself. Based on the school's address, Lan Fa used spatial teleportation.

The person with the time-stopping talent is a cute girl. She has her hair in a bun, a round face, and looks very much like a teacher.

"Sweetie, I have already passed on your talent."

"You need to stay calm and not wander around. Our school will be responsible for your safety."

At this moment, Angelina, the American agent, saw the time-stopping ability and a smile appeared on her crimson lips.

With her delicate hands, she dialed a number directly.

"Yes, it's me. It's time for your organization to step in again."

"Yan Country, Tianbian City, Tiannan Province, Class 24 of Shenmen No.1 Middle School, Li Jia has the talent of stopping time. I don't want her to see the sun later."

On the other end of the phone, a middle-aged man in a suit quietly answered the call.

They are America's most skilled agents, having led numerous assassination missions, so they were confident that this time would be no exception.

What they didn't know was that Ye Bai arrived very quickly.

Ye Bai intercepted the bullets fired by the bullet ants in their hands.

Bang! The bullets from the bullet ants were blocked by a barrier of holy light.

At this moment, Tian Tian's hair bun was messy and her hair was disheveled, making her look very disheveled.

"Leave her to me, I'll take her to a safe place."

Seeing the teacher's wary expression, Ye Bai immediately took out his ID card.

When the teacher saw the four large characters "Big Dipper" written on the gilded black lettering of the identity card, a hint of wariness appeared on his face.

"The Big Dipper, I have never heard of this name in Yan Kingdom."

"who are you?"

Ye Bai was quite helpless. He took out another token, on which the three characters "Kui Mulang" were clearly written.

This is Kui Mulang's token. Originally, Ye Bai was supposed to hand it over after stepping down.

However, perhaps because the marshals were too busy, no one thought of this.

The teacher recognized the token.

She examined it carefully and knew it couldn't be faked.

"Then I'll take Tian Tian back. You all should try your best to appease the family and prevent them from causing trouble."

The homeroom teacher shook his head: "I'm afraid I can't do it."

"Because Sweetie's relatives have already passed away."

“Take Tian Tian with you. I will suggest to the school that we help Tian Tian transfer her student status.”

A talent like time-stopping is worthy of Yan Kingdom's full-fledged cultivation.

Furthermore, we must prevent Sweetie's talent from being stolen.

Ye Bai and Lan Fa joined forces to continuously create clones of Ye Bai and the Devouring Pelican.

He travels between spatial rifts and constantly brings back exceptionally talented students.

When Angelina received news that the agents had all failed, she was furious.

"Where exactly did things go wrong? We've been targeting Yan for so many years, and they still haven't found a good solution."

"How did they manage to keep sending out high-level pet masters to kill our agents? I want to know what exactly happened."

"Isn't Yan Kingdom currently facing a severe shortage of manpower?"
