Chen Ang agreed with a grin and praised.

"Long Di, you are truly amazing; you are my idol. I want to take you as an example and become even more amazing and powerful!"

Lingdang, who was on the side, saw Chen Ang like this and felt it was very strange, not being able to figure out what he was doing at all.

Although he was puzzled, he did not say it, just stood on the side and watched quietly.

He knew that Chen Ang doing this must have his own reasons.

As for what they were, he did not know for now, and this was not something he could know.

After arriving at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, they ordered drinks and went into a private room.

After entering, Chen Ang began to lead the topic to the matter he wanted to ask about.

"I heard that there is a very powerful old man living on that South Mountain; is it true or false?"

Facing the inquiry, Long Di did not hold back and nodded directly in reply.

"There is an old man, his name is Zhao Gao, and his personality is very strange and unpredictable. Sometimes he will disagree and start fighting directly, and moreover, he is a human!"

"He has lived on South Mountain for a long time and never comes down; it seems he has been cursed."

Hearing this, Chen Ang was a bit curious and asked in confusion.

"A curse? How did this happen?"

Long Di shook his head and explained.

"I am not quite sure about this either. Anyway, when I came here, he was already on the mountain. If you want to know the specific reason, you can ask the proprietress of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion; she knows everything."

"Moreover, I also know that her private friendship with Zhao Gao is quite good, so maybe you can ask more out of her."

Regarding this, Chen Ang deliberately put on a confused look.

"Are you saying that the relationship between Zhao Gao and the proprietress is very good?"

Long Di nodded and responded.

"That is natural; otherwise, how could Zhao Gao get into the black market of Qingshui Town? This all requires the proprietress's consent, including you coming in, it's the same."

Regarding this matter, Chen Ang indeed did not know and looked at Lingdang.

And Lingdang also had a look of confusion, obviously not knowing about this matter.

This also made Chen Ang notice some problems; it seems the proprietress does not trust Lingdang particularly much either; otherwise, how could he not know about this?

Regarding all this, Chen Ang did not say too much, accompanying Long Di to keep drinking, and soon he was drunk and unconscious.

Taking advantage of this time, Chen Ang said to Long Di.

"What do you think of the proprietress of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion?"

At this moment, Long Di was already drunk and began to speak unscrupulously.

"Not much, a black-hearted woman, anyway she has done many wicked things!"

Truth comes out after drinking; when people are drunk, they will unknowingly state their true thoughts.

Noticing this, Chen Ang and Lingdang looked at each other.

They did not continue to stay in the private room, but returned to their room.

After entering, Chen Ang looked at Lingdang.

"It seems the proprietress still has many things hidden from you. Is it because she saw in the precognitive mirror at the beginning that you had a change of heart, so she did this?"

Lingdang shook his head and said doubtfully.

"I am not quite sure about this either, but it should be unlikely. When she uses the precognitive mirror, I am always by her side, and I have never seen anything about me."

And just at this time, Chen Ang had a bold guess in his heart.

1851 Martial Arts Supreme, A New Starting Point (Grand Finale)

"This world can no longer find things that can help my talent continue to advance. It is time to leave my homeland and go to the outside world to take a look. I don't know when I will return after leaving this time; perhaps it will be until the heavens grow old and the earth wears out." Chen Ang paced toward the school where he once started.

Thinking and sighing in his heart, more than ten years had passed since that time. Almost every year, the school would produce geniuses that surprised people, but eight or nine out of ten of those geniuses could not survive to the end, and quite a few even died at the hands of their own people.

However, such a truth is known to every high-tier hero, and this is also a rule they tacitly approve of. Perhaps he himself, when his strength was still weak, might have spoken out against such injustice, but as his strength grew, he discovered that such actions were merely to filter out those who could not survive. Geniuses were just gems discovered at the beginning; how could gems let more people see their brilliance without being polished?

Watching the school produce generation after generation of geniuses, but many geniuses would become the nourishment and whetstone for other geniuses, he sighed infinitely at the thought.

He came here before leaving just to see his former hometown and to see the junior that an old friend had entrusted him to look after a little.

Many parents were waiting at the school gate because today was also the annual day for students to probe for awakening. Even though the probability of everyone awakening was not high, it also represented their transition from an ordinary person to an existence different from those around them.

At least they became people of two worlds compared to those ordinary people who could never awaken their talents in their lifetime.

"Wuwuwu..."

A small boy, who looked only seven or eight years old, rushed out of the school gate, his arm blocking his eyes wet with tears. After others saw such a scene, they just sighed slightly.

Because the probability of a child being able to awaken among all children is only one in ten. If one cannot awaken from the beginning of the awakening, then it means that his life might only be to become an ordinary person.

The person who just ran out of the school gate crying was perhaps one of the eight or nine out of ten who were eliminated. There were simply too many such people, so many that everyone was accustomed to it.

The little boy stopped when he reached Chen Ang.

"Uncle Chen, they..."

Chen Ang thought the little boy was being bullied, but when he looked at him carefully, he found that a prompt for branch evolution appeared on him.

"Sigh, sure enough, your parents are both very excellent talent awakeners. As their child, of course, you cannot just be an ordinary person. Your mother also entrusted me to take special care of you if you became an ordinary person, but now that you have become a talent awakener, although Uncle is also happy for you, you must know what a talent awakener carries on their back." Chen Ang sighed a long sigh.

Whether an ordinary person or a talent awakener, it is actually just a unique choice in life. Even an ordinary person might not be unable to grow or even become an existence that even top supreme talent holders fear.

"Tell Uncle, what happened to you at school? Did they bully you? If the school doesn't care, then let Uncle have a good talk with the school's top management about such things. School bullying cannot be prevented, but whoever bullies someone around me, Chen Ang, then I will definitely not let them off! Even the top supreme talent holder, I can still make them apologize properly!" Chen Ang also said this confidently, and he indeed had the ability to do so.

Xiao Fan hurriedly shook his head and explained: "Uncle Chen, they said my talent is a trash talent, not even as good as the embroidery needle in his grandmother's house! Even the teacher presiding over the awakening shook his head when he saw the talent I awakened. Am I really no good?"

Xiao Fan then released a green glow from his hand that seemed to be only as thick as an embroidery needle.

"Awakened Talent: Green Vine."

Evaluation: A child who inherited the special abilities of his parents, born with the destiny of being a talent awakener. The Green Vine carries a faint sword intent and has relatively strong attack power. It can be strengthened and advanced through bloodline evolution. If it directly devours the blood of the strong, it has a high probability of evolution. The blood of living beings can help improve experience and energy.

"Haha, Xiao Fan, they said your talent is the weakest talent; it is because they are ignorant. You must know that when I was young, I was also called the weakest talent by them. Even after becoming a talent awakener different from ordinary people, I was bullied for a long time when they called me the weakest talent."

"What others say doesn't mean that's what you will be in the future, just like me, Uncle, even among all the supreme talent holders, my strength is among the most powerful ones."

Chen Ang looked at Xiao Fan, then forcibly squeezed a drop of golden blood from his fingertip. Before this blood fell to the ground, it formed a brilliant crystal like a drop of water in mid-air.
