Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
Krishak was now six years old.
His childish features had become more refined, and his black eyes carried a calmness that far exceeded his age. Though he still behaved like a bright and cheerful child around his family, his nights remained devoted to cultivation.
By absorbing only the purest strands of spiritual energy, Krishak advanced steadily.
His progress was slower than that of ordinary geniuses, but every breakthrough was backed by a flawless foundation.
During these three years, Krishak had quietly advanced from the early Martial Warrior Realm to the peak of Elite Martial Warrior.
He could have entered the Great Martial Warrior Realm at any time, but once again he chose to suppress his breakthrough to perfect his body.
His current assessment was:
Cultivation Realm: Peak Elite Martial Warrior
Combat Power: Peak Great Martial Warrior
Earth Equivalent: Mid B-Rank to Early A-Rank
At only six years old, Krishak already possessed strength that would shock the world if revealed.
Fortunately, he had been extremely careful to conceal his true abilities.
To others, he appeared to be a gifted child with an unusually mature temperament.
On Earth, every child underwent a talent awakening ceremony at the age of six.
This ceremony measured two things:
1. Innate cultivation talent.
2. Affinity toward awakening as a Hunter, Awakener, or Summoner.
Children with high talent were recruited by prestigious academies and powerful organizations.
Those with extraordinary gifts could alter the destiny of their families.
Today was Krishak's awakening day.
The atmosphere at breakfast was unusually lively.
Veer wore a broad grin.
"Hahaha! Today we'll finally see what talent our son inherited!"
Ama smiled, though her eyes betrayed a hint of nervousness.
"With parents like us, he's bound to be exceptional."
Luna, now five years old, bounced excitedly in her seat.
"Big Brother strongest!"
Krishak smiled modestly.
Inwardly, however, he was curious.
He knew his true talent far exceeded any standard on Earth.
The only question was how much of it the awakening crystal would be able to detect.
The family traveled to the town's Awakening Hall, a grand white building located near the central square.
Children and parents filled the hall, their faces reflecting anticipation and anxiety.
When Veer and Ama entered, many people greeted them respectfully.
After all, both were well -known experts in the town.
Soon, Krishak's name was called.
"Krishak Veersen."
Krishak stepped forward calmly.
Whispers spread throughout the hall.
"That's Veer and Ama's son.
"I heard he's incredibly smart."
"His talent should be outstanding."
At the center of the room stood a translucent crystal sphere.
The examiner smiled kindly.
"Place your hand on the crystal and relax."
Krishak nodded.
As soon as his small hand touched the crystal, brilliant light erupted.
The crystal trembled violently.
Colors of every hue swirled within it.
The pressure in the room increased dramatically.
Several children cried out in alarm.
The examiner's eyes widened.
"This..."
Cracks began spreading across the crystal's surface.
Then, with a sharp sound, the crystal shattered.
Silence filled the hall.
The examiner stared at the fragments in disbelief.
His voice trembled.
"I-I have never seen such a result."
He turned toward the stunned crowd.
"Krishak possesses Highest Grade talent."
The entire hall erupted.
"Highest Grade?"
"That's impossible!"
"Such talent should only exist in legends!"
Veer stood frozen.
Ama covered her mouth.
Luna cheered proudly.
" "I knew Big Brother strongest!"
Krishak smiled awkwardly, pretending to be embarrassed.
In truth, he had intentionally suppressed most of his aura.
If he had not, the crystal might have exploded the moment he touched it.
The examiner continued, still trembling.
"Furthermore, his affinity indicates exceptional compatibility with all three paths: Hunter, Awakener, and Summoner."
Gasps spread through the crowd.
Such balanced talent was almost unheard of.
As the hall buzzed with excitement, Krishak remained calm.
Highest Grade.
As expected.
Anything less would have surprised him.
Yet he knew talent alone meant little without perseverance and wisdom.
Still, the result would provide him with access to better resources and training.
That would accelerate his plans considerably.
That night, after the celebration ended, Krishak stood by his window and looked up at the stars.
At six years old, his extraordinary talent had finally been revealed to the world.
From this day onward, many eyes would be watching him.
But Krishak did not mind.
This was only the beginning.
One day, he would surpass the limits of Earth, the cosmos, and even the self he had once been.
