Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Becoming a Dragon

"S-level talent? Where? Let me see!"

The elderly man in black strode over hastily.

A teacher pointed at Xu Zhou and said, "There he is, a student from Teacher Cao's class, named Xu Zhou."

Swish!

The principal's gaze suddenly shifted to Xu Zhou, and immediately, as if seeing a treasure, his eyes became bright.

Moments later, he stroked his beard and laughed heartily, "Good, good, good. It's been decades since Linjiang City has seen an S-level talent."

"Who would have thought that this time, it appeared in our school."

The principal glanced at Cao Yong with a sigh, "Cao Yong, you old fellow, you're really lucky."

Cao Yong shook his head and smiled, helplessly saying, "Principal, don't tease me. First, check what kind of talent my student has."

Upon hearing this, the principal nodded and then turned his gaze to Xu Zhou.

"Xu Zhou, let me see?" The principal straightened his beard and said, "Let's see what kind of talent you have."

"Alright."

Xu Zhou nodded and immediately extended his right hand.

The principal reached out and touched Xu Zhou's forehead.

A moment later, he suddenly widened his eyes.

But in the next second, he frowned.

Seeing this scene, including Cao Yong, the teachers were all curious. What did the principal discover?

At the same time, Xu Zhou was also full of curiosity. He sensed an energy flowing along his meridians, making a circle in his body.

What did the principal discover?

A moment later, the principal finally withdrew his hand, but his expression was constantly changing, sometimes delighted, sometimes frowning.

Seeing this, Cao Yong couldn't help but say, "Principal, speak up. What kind of talent is it?"

Not only the teachers,

At the back, some students who hadn't left and were hiding at the hall entrance perked up their ears, staring intently here.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, the principal suddenly waved his sleeve, and a strong wind arose.

"Go back to the classroom, no eavesdropping allowed!"

The principal's voice boomed, chasing all those students away.

Seeing this, Cao Yong and the others were slightly taken aback.

Then, their expressions all grew serious. The principal seemed to be forbidding other students from eavesdropping, but actually, this action hinted at a deeper meaning.

This could mean that the talent Xu Zhou awakened is extremely important and cannot be heard by others!

Xu Zhou also realized this.

He stared at the principal closely. What exactly was his talent that made it so mysterious?

Next second, the principal slowly spoke, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be an exceptionally rare S-level talent, very ancient."

"Even among some S-level talents, it is one of the most powerful types!"

With these words, the teachers all held their breath.

Then, they all simultaneously looked at Xu Zhou, breathing heavily.

"The most powerful talent?"

"So, does this mean Xu Zhou's talent, even among S-level talents, belongs to the top tier?"

"Teacher Cao is really lucky, finding such a student!"

The teachers present were envious, jealous, and hateful!

Meanwhile, Cao Yong was trying hard to restrain an expression of smugness.

He said calmly, "Alright, alright, I know Xu Zhou's talent is strong! Hurry up and tell me, what exactly is it?"

However, the principal coughed, suddenly looked at Xu Zhou, and then said, "Xu Zhou, you go back to the classroom first."

Xu Zhou: ??

Can't even I hear it?

Could it involve some secrets that he mustn't know?

Xu Zhou couldn't help but ask, "Principal, can't I hear it either?"

The principal said calmly, "If you have any questions, you can ask Cao Yong afterward."

"Alright."

Xu Zhou nodded helplessly. Since they put it that way, he couldn't stay any longer.

Even though he was also extremely curious about his talent, surely Teacher Cao would tell him afterward.

...

After Xu Zhou left.

In the hall, Cao Yong had a slightly heavy expression and said, "Principal, what talent exactly did Xu Zhou awaken?"

The moment the principal asked Xu Zhou to leave, he sensed something was amiss.

Because the next words might not bode well for Xu Zhou!

The principal glanced at him and said, "The talent Xu Zhou awakened should be called 'Dragon Transformation'!"

"Dragon Transformation?"

Hearing this, the teachers exchanged glances, looking very confused.

Only a few older teachers frowned, appearing serious.

The principal continued, "This talent is actually a physical body type of talent."

"As the name suggests, after awakening the Dragon Transformation talent, the physical body will gradually dragonify, transforming towards the Dragon Clan, possessing the powerful strength and vitality of the Dragon Clan!"

"You all know that the Dragon Clan is one of the most powerful races in mythology! They are renowned for their divine physical bodies."

"Therefore, after awakening the Dragon Transformation talent, the physical body is also the strongest at the same realm."

Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of surprise.

Body transforming into a dragon?

Could there really be such a unique talent?

However, Cao Yong's face was somewhat heavy, seeming to recall something.

Sure enough, the next second, the principal spoke again, "However, this talent is usually awakened by monsters, and within the Beast Race, it's indeed a top-level talent."

"But if a human awakens this talent, it's not a good thing."

A teacher asked in confusion, "Why do you say that?"

The principal shook his head, "The so-called Dragon Transformation means the physical body turns dragon-like, but how could humans become dragons? It's simply impossible. That's one reason."

"Secondly, the Dragon Transformation talent requires numerous cultivation resources, millions of times that of an ordinary person."

"Breaking through the realm is extremely difficult, extremely difficult!"

The principal said gravely, "If it were a monster, it could directly devour other Beast Race members to expedite cultivation, but humans obviously can't do that."

"The absorption capacity of the Human Race is not as strong as monsters, so it must be concentrated into essence to be effective."

"If it were only about consuming resources, it might not matter. The key is, even with millions of resource consumption, the prospects for a Beast Race talent are bleak."

"There have been a few rare cases where humans who awakened Beast Race talents spent tens of billions, yet were stuck at the First Grade and couldn't even break through to Second Grade."

In the end, the principal shook his head with regret.

Before coming, he initially had the intention of taking on a disciple.

After all, it's an S-level talent, a once-in-a-century in Linjiang City.

But unexpectedly, it turned out to be a Beast Race talent unsuitable for humans, so he never again mentioned taking on a disciple.

The principal was also puzzled as to why someone would awaken such a talent.

This type of talent is usually only awakened by monsters!

At the same time, the other teachers present also understood and sighed one by one.

They finally knew why the principal wanted Xu Zhou to leave earlier.

The principal meant well, to prevent Xu Zhou from being hurt!

At this moment, Cao Yong spoke calmly, "It's just a matter of cultivation resources, isn't it? If it's not enough, use money to buy them. Problems solvable with money, are they even problems?"

After saying this, he turned and walked away.

He was obviously somewhat unhappy, leaving alone.

A teacher watched his back and sighed helplessly, "Teacher Cao still doesn't understand, even with money and resources, it's hard to cultivate a Beast Race talent."

"No, Cao Yong understands."

The principal shook his head slightly, "He's just unwilling."

The other teachers were slightly taken aback, then shook their heads and sighed, full of regret.

A teacher murmured, "This kind of talent isn't a good thing for Xu Zhou. Will Cao Yong tell him?"

With these words, the other teachers also showed curiosity.

Indeed, if Xu Zhou finds this out, it would be like the sky falling.

From being a top-tier S-level talent to suddenly becoming a difficult-to-cultivate Beast Race talent.

Such a blow is hard for anyone to bear.

At this moment, including the principal, the teachers were all very curious how Cao Yong would explain this to Xu Zhou.
