"Yes. Good. Now let me tell you..."
The system asked, "Host, do you remember how many attribute points you have?"
Silence.
We see the boy put a finger to his lip.
The system shouted, "Host! Host! What happened to you? Why aren't you answering my question?"
"You told me not to say anything," the boy replied.
The system breathed heavily. "Control, control. I am a good system. I should not get angry at the host. Forget what I said earlier. Just tell me—how many points do you have?"
Then the boy pulled his finger from his lip and said, "You are the system; you know better than me."
The system gave him a scary look.
"Okay, okay! I'll tell you. Let me check. System, open my status window."
"Okay."
Then the status window opened.

"System, I have 5 points left."
"I know, I know."
The boy thought, If you know, why did you ask me? But he said nothing.
Then the system said, "Look, I'm telling you—I will temporarily unlock a function called the Simulator."
The boy asked, "Simulator? What is that?"
"With this function, the system will create a virtual reality for you. You can practice there. One second in the real world equals one day in the virtual reality."
"Whoa, that's an OP power!"
"But there's a catch. For every day you spend in the virtual reality, you have to pay 1 point. You have 5 points available now. So, the system will send you to the virtual world for 5 days of training to master the first level of Golden Eyes. Do you want to go?"
"What should I do to reach the first level?"
"In virtual reality, there are many functions, but for now, you can use only one—that's called Concentrated Cultivation. When you go to the virtual reality, you will be in a room. There, you will see a formation. You just have to sit there and concentrate to reach the first level of Golden Eyes."
"I understand. You can send me now."
"Okay. Sending process... sending process 100% complete."
Suddenly, the boy's vision turned black. He fell into sleep and entered the virtual world for training.
Back to the present.
The system asked, "Do you remember everything now?"
"Yes, I remember."
"By the way, have you mastered the first level of Golden Eyes?"
"Yes."
"How was your experience in that virtual reality?"
"Well, good," he said. Then he remembered what happened after his sleep. He had woken up in a strange room. He went a little further inside. There, he saw a pattern on the floor, glowing in a golden color.
"Is this the formation the system mentioned?" he wondered.
Then he stepped inside the formation and sat down in a cultivation position. He closed his eyes and began to concentrate. After some days, he successfully mastered the first level of Golden Eyes.
He came back to the real world and slowly opened his eyes. But as soon as he did, he felt extremely sleepy.
"System, why do I feel like I'm about to fall asleep now?"
"Because, host, you were in a virtual space. You spent more than 5 days, and all your points were used. So, the system used your soul power to maintain the virtual world. Don't worry—you will sleep for 50 minutes."
Without another word, he fell into sleep.
Back to the present.
Angelina arrived at the testing ground. The announcer gave her a needle. She grabbed it and pricked her finger.
"System, do I have to do it now?"
"What?"
The system was angry. Then it said, "Take a drop of blood from your body and cover it with the Golden Eyes' first skill that you just learned."
"Oh! I forgot. I'm doing it now."
As his mother was about to drop her blood, he immediately drew a drop of blood from his body and covered it with the Golden Eyes' first skill. Then he passed the blood through his mother's body. The process was extremely dangerous and difficult because he had to maintain his skill while guiding the blood through her veins. What made it even more difficult was that he had to identify which vein connected to her hand.
Somehow, his blood managed to reach his mother's hand. When his mother dropped her blood, he mixed his blood with hers just in time.
Then the mixed blood dropped onto the Talent Stone. Angelina moved aside from the stone. She had been praying the whole time that her baby would awaken a good talent. She prayed to her Lord, the Light Angel:
"Please grant my child a good talent. I don't want my child to be treated like a loser in the future."
On the other side, Tian Zhen was also silently praying for his child.
Scene shift to Xing Tian.
"So the time has finally come. When the Ming Clan lady wanted to follow my grandchild, I understood that he would awaken a great talent. But just now, someone awakened a special talent. I saw that too. So I wonder... why did she want to follow my grandson? Is my grandchild's talent even greater than a special grade? Now, I can finally witness my grandchild's talent."
The blood touched the stone.
The stone began to crack.
The announcer noticed this. He was shocked and surprised. Seeing his expression, Angelina asked, "What happened? Why are you looking like that? Did my child awaken a low-level talent?"
The announcer replied, "No! I don't believe it. It's impossible!"
All this time, the stone had been covered by two types of energy.
People began talking.
"Why isn't the stone reacting?"
"Did her child not awaken any talent?"
Hearing this, Tian Zhen grew scared.
The announcer couldn't understand what was happening. He only knew that something big was coming.
Then he informed the elders who judged the ceremony.
"Elders, please come here. There is a problem."
Xing Tian was one of the elders. When he heard this, he thought, I knew something like this would happen.
He said, "Don't worry. I'm coming."
Then he flew down to the ground.
Seeing him, the crowd began whispering.
"What happened?"
"Why is the elder here?"
"Did something go wrong?"
