Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 6: Soul arrest
at this time.

The quilt on the bed opposite was lifted and a surprised voice was heard.

"Jiang Jian, are you back?"

"Yeah," Jiang Jian responded, continued to tidy up his desk, and asked, "Ji Ming, why don't you go home?"

Ji Ming sat up and said with a smile, "My theory scores aren't as good as yours. I plan to spend the holiday in the library to check for gaps and make up for them."

He took off his headphones and got out of bed. "I'm just hungry, Jiang Jian, do you want to eat together?"

Jiang Jian shook his head and said, "I've eaten."

"Then I'll enjoy it myself."

Ji Ming chuckled and raised his ID card.

"Spicy braised pork elbow with rice, stir-fried mushroom soup, 3 Alliance Coins in total..."

He bought the meal and knocked on the mirror on the table, "Mirror Spirit, go to the restaurant and get my meal for me!"

no response.

Ji Ming was stunned for a moment, then he picked up the mirror and threatened, "Come out now, or I'll complain to the dorm manager!"

This trick usually works every time.

But now, the mirror remains motionless.

"It's really weird."

Ji Ming put down the mirror, his face full of confusion.

Jiang Jian smiled and said, "Maybe it's tired too and wants to take a break."

Ji Ming sighed, "If only I knew the 'Soul Binding Spell', I could just wave my hand and catch it and question it. That would be so impressive, wow..."

Jiang Jian raised an eyebrow and said, "Spells are the rarest gift from God."

Ji Ming walked over to Jiang Jian and sat down. "God, even if I don't have the 'art', you can give me the 'martial arts'. I won't be picky!"

Jiang Jian smiled and said, "On the contrary, I think you are more suitable for the talent of 'Yi'."

"It doesn't matter which one, as long as it's not useless."

Having said that, Ji Ming looked at Jiang Jian, "Jiang Jian, what about you? Which talent do you want most?"

Jiang Jian shook his head and said, "As long as I can add God's gift points, I don't really have any idea about the type of talent."

Ji Ming opened his schoolbag, took out a detailed chart, and pointed to the six talents on it.

"Jiang Jian, your theoretical scores are amazing, full marks in every subject."

He tapped the paper with his fingers.

"Even if it's a Level 1 divine gift."

"As long as it's not 'physique' or 'heart', the total score won't be low."

The God-given examination was presided over by a team of examiners sent by the city government.

There are also God-given universities in the state that send invigilators.

Whenever any talent appears, the examination team will comprehensively consider it and give a God-given score as the result.

Among them, the divine bonus of "Skill" is the highest.

Jiang Jian put the book away and looked at the form in Ji Ming's hand.

At the top is "technique".

This kind of divine gift is the rarest.

Techniques, spells, all kinds of spells.

Everything is included.

The art often has a complete set of training methods, which is of great help to spiritual practice.

Once a person has a talent for "art", he or she will be immediately snatched up by big companies.

After all, there are more than 30,000 candidates in Guangling City every year.

There are only forty God-given university places.

The rest of the people, if they want to avoid starvation, can only find a job to support themselves.

If there are candidates, they will obtain rare talents in "Skills".

It is even possible to be directly admitted to the God-given University regardless of theoretical scores.

Secondly, it is "martial arts".

Wu, martial arts, martial arts skills.

This kind of talent is also sought after.

Because human cultivation is extremely difficult.

"Skills" and "martial arts" can reduce this difficulty.

The real purpose of the divinely bestowed ritual is not to gain talents.

But it allows everyone to practice.

This is clearly stated in "Overview of Gods".

God-given talents are merely accessories to begin cultivation.

Some of these talents are extremely suitable for cultivation.

It can increase the speed of cultivation by leaps and bounds.

Some talents are useless and have no use at all.

Most people have average talents, and some worry about food and clothing, some are unwilling to endure hardships, some have no interest in practicing, or are lazy and idle.

Throughout their lives, they are trapped in the "God-given Realm" and cannot escape until their death. And the reason why "Martial Arts" is highly valued.

This is because there are very few useless talents among them.

The martial arts bestowed by God are extremely complete.

A complete set of equipment, even with a separate training manual.

The divine bonus for "Martial Arts" is extremely high, second only to "Skills".

Again, it is “intention”.

Intention, idea, thought.

Retrieving objects from a distance, having clever thoughts, sensing emotions, overpowering others with telekinesis, and reading minds by appearance all belong to the category of “intention”.

Among them, cultivation talents occasionally appear.

But most of the time, they tend to go in all sorts of directions, which is not beneficial for cultivation.

The God-given bonus of “intention” is neither high nor low.

There will be fluctuations depending on the specific differences in talents.

Again, it is "soldier".

Soldiers, weapons, forging.

Weapon usage skills, weapon casting, and weapon maintenance secrets all fall into this category.

This kind of talent is somewhat special.

There is a very small possibility of obtaining a weapon directly.

God-given weapons are powerful and indestructible.

Only those who have been given it can use it.

The worst level 1 weapons are all like this.

After the recipient dies, the weapon will turn into scrap metal and become a decoration.

Normal times.

The divine bonus points for "Soldiers" are not high.

But during the big exam, once a divine weapon appears, the extra points will skyrocket!

At the same talent level, the divine bonus points for powerful weapons can even be compared with "skills" and "martial arts"!
Again, it is “heart”.

Heart, wisdom, intelligence.

Smart, good at scientific research, good at mathematics, or proficient in any subject.

This kind of talent is very common.

Ninety percent of them are not suitable for cultivation.

The God-given bonus for “heart” is very low.

The worst is the "body".

Body, physical fitness, body.

Keeping the body strong, increasing lifespan, eliminating diseases, and strengthening specific body parts all belong to the “body”.

Nine out of ten people have "bodies".

This kind of talent is everywhere.

Ninety-nine percent of them are useless.

Removes a disease, adding a few days to life.

Eliminate a certain virus and clear a certain pimple.

Even the fingers become thicker and the soles of the feet become bigger.

Countless useless talents, a mess.

Zhou Yu's "silver tongue" is a rare skill that can be used.

When I was giving lectures, I didn’t feel tired the whole day.

It just fits his profession as a teacher.

As a level 2 divine gift, even if Zhou Yu speaks without thinking.

His "silver tongue" can also allow him to speak eloquently and complete the content on his own.

After all, this kind of situation doesn't happen often.

In fact, the God-given bonus points for "body" are shockingly low.

“My requirements are getting lower and lower.”

"As long as it's not 'body', anything else is fine."

Ji Ming took the table and compared it with Guangling City's data from previous years. His face no longer had the confidence he had just had.

Jiang Jian tidied up the desk and returned to his bunk, saying, "If it's a level 2 'body', it might be useful, like Teacher Zhou."

Ji Ming sighed: "That's true, but there are too few level 2 talents."

"Last year, there were 30,000 candidates in Guangling for the exam."

"There are less than a hundred people who have obtained level 2 talents."

Having said that, Ji Ming swiped the screen and his expression became even uglier.

"Among them, there are only thirteen candidates in the shaded area."
