Chapter 15

Chen Ang raised his head, checked the time, and yawned. After memorizing his entire plan, he grinned, pulled out a lighter, and burned the paper to ashes.

Then, he washed up and fell into a deep sleep on his bed.

The next morning.

7:30 AM.

Chen Ang opened his eyes and checked the time on his phone. Instead of rushing to wash up or eat, he found Li Li Li Leyao’s contact information and sent a message.

"I obtained a formula in the secret realm—a new evolutionary path for Healing Light. Do you need it?"

15: A Trade of Evolutionary Paths.

After sending the message.

He got up to wash.

He took the opportunity to make breakfast using the beast meat he had stored in his spatial ring.

After eating his fill, Chen Ang picked up his phone and found that Li Li Li Leyao had already sent quite a few messages.

"???"

"Are you serious?"

"Are you really, really, really serious?"

"You aren't lying to me, are you??"

"A new evolutionary path, you know. Those aren't easy to come by."

"Why aren't you replying?"

"Could it be true?"

"Ahhhhh, hurry up and reply to me."

Chen Ang: "..."

"It's true. Do you want it?"

In a villa.

Li Li Li Leyao was wearing denim hot pants and a white shirt. Her long, jet-black hair and exquisite features made her look exceptionally beautiful.

At this moment, she was holding her phone, waiting anxiously.

Beside her, Li Li Changkong picked up his teacup, took a sip of hot tea, and shook his head with a chuckle. "Alright, what is there to be so anxious about? Maybe he was busy with something; he'll reply to you in a bit."

"You're definitely not anxious, Dad. You don't have the Healing Light talent."

Li Li Li Leyao pouted.

Just as she finished speaking.

*Ding-dong*, her phone vibrated.

Li Li Li Leyao hurriedly picked up her phone, took a look, and her expression turned joyful. "Dad, he replied, he replied! He said it's true and asked if I want it. What should I do?"

"What else can you do? You definitely have to agree first."

Li Li Changkong felt helpless toward his daughter. Did she really need to ask about something like this?

But since she was his daughter, Li Li Changkong stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "Here's what you do: agree to it first and set a time for us to meet him today."

"The Healing Light talent is powerful, but as a healing-type talent, the only known evolutionary path is Nature's Light. While it's very strong after evolving to a high rank, it's also very extreme."

"Later on, you either go down the path of pure elemental combat or the path of extreme healing."

"If you go the elemental path, you lose your healing ability."

"If you go the healing path, you lose your combat ability."

"If there is a new evolutionary path, perhaps it can combine both. If not, we have to carefully consider the pros and cons of the two different directions before deciding."

Hearing this.

Li Li Li Leyao nodded and immediately replied.

Not long after, Li Li Li Leyao’s eyes lit up. "Dad, he has time at noon."

"Alright, then pick a place, and we'll go over at noon."

"Okay."

Looking at the address sent by the other party, Chen Ang put down his phone and took out the dragon blood to begin soaking his dragon claws.

After soaking the claws, he wiped off the bloodstains and went into the courtyard to prepare for today’s training.

He swung his dragon claws, executing the Rending Claw against the specially made wooden dummy.

A mark immediately appeared on it.

Chen Ang curled his lips and muttered to himself, "As expected of a specially made wooden dummy; it really is tough."

This thing was good, but unfortunately, it was very expensive.

And it couldn't be repaired.

Once broken, he had to buy a new one.

But for now, it was enough.

*Whoosh.*

*Whoosh.*

*Whoosh.*

The sound of air being torn rang out continuously.

Chen Ang kept using Rending Claw to attack the wooden dummy.

As a skill, executing it was very physically demanding.

With Chen Ang’s current stamina, he could execute Rending Claw at most four times in a row before needing to rest.

But that was enough for now.

After finishing, Chen Ang began soaking in the medicinal broth.

"Improved again."

Chen Ang muttered.

After previously soaking in dragon blood, and now soaking in the medicinal broth.

Chen Ang could clearly feel his attributes increasing.

It was still a small increase, not much.

But it was still something worth being happy about.

Moreover, setting other things aside.

The practice of Rending Claw also enhanced his physical attributes.

After all, in a certain sense, practicing skills was also a form of training the body, so it was no surprise that his physique improved.

The only regret was that his mental strength could not be enhanced this way.

"Skills like Rending Claw belong to the path of physique, consuming Qi, blood, and physical strength. Elemental skills, I hear, consume mental strength. I wonder if there will be a way to specifically improve mental strength in the future."

Improving mental strength was relatively difficult.

Unlike physique, where many heavenly materials and earthly treasures could enhance it.

But things that improved mental strength were extremely rare.

Relying on heavenly materials and earthly treasures to improve mental strength was like a pipe dream.

But fortunately, Chen Ang wasn't in a hurry to increase his mental strength right now.

Besides, once he entered university, there might be a way.

Time passed quietly.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon.

Chen Ang went out, heading to the same alley entrance as yesterday.

Chen Ang saw several men wrapped in bandages, walking cautiously.

They were the thugs from yesterday.

Upon seeing Chen Ang, the thugs were filled with fear, instinctively terrified.

The leader, in particular, turned pale, clearly suffering from psychological trauma because of Chen Ang.

However, Chen Ang only glanced at them casually before leaving.

"Boss, what do we do? Do we really have to keep collecting protection money in this place?"
