Isn't it just one Gifted one? At that age, so what if he is a Gifted one? He’s just someone who just awakened; Laozi has ways to deal with him. Don't forget why we are here collecting protection money? We have people backing us too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the few thugs seemed to remember something, let out a sigh of relief, and one after another set their minds at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one thug tremblingly raised his hand and asked in a low voice, \"B-Boss, what if that lord doesn't care?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"D-doesn't care?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thug boss's expression stiffened, then he curled his lip helplessly. \"If he doesn't care, we retreat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the thug boss took out his phone, found a number in his contacts, and immediately dialed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ang was naturally unaware of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking for a while, Chen Ang arrived at a restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome, sir. Do you have a reservation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beautiful waitress wearing a cheongsam walked over and asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ang stated Li Li Li Leyao's name, and the waitress immediately led the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, they arrived at the door of a private room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waitress left, Chen Ang knocked on the door, and after a voice came from inside, Chen Ang pushed the door open and walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Changkong and Li Li Li Leyao were already waiting there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chen Ang, Li Li Li Leyao waved her hand happily. \"You're finally here! Quick, quick, tell me, what is the new evolution direction?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Changkong looked helpless. \"Li Li Leyao, what's the rush? Let classmate Chen Ang sit down and rest for a while first. You should order the food first, and we can talk while we eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being told off by her dad, Li Li Li Leyao immediately pouted, obediently picked up the menu, and started ordering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>16: A toad is not worthy of a swan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ang chuckled and sat down opposite the father and daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he said, \"Uncle Li, there's no rush to eat; the serious business is more important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Li Changkong was startled. He hadn't expected Chen Ang to be so anxious, but it was just as well; in fact, he was quite looking forward to it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Li Li Changkong immediately nodded and said, \"You're right. This counts as a trade, but I wonder how classmate Chen Ang wants to trade?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And since it's a trade, classmate Chen Ang must let us verify the truth of your words, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ang nodded. \"That is certainly true, but I can't say too much, because what I have in my hands is not a potion, so I can't let you take it and use it immediately to verify its authenticity. However, I can tell you the result of this evolution direction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, both Li Li Changkong and Li Li Li Leyao's eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Li Leyao asked curiously, \"Chen Ang, what exactly is the other evolution of Healing Light?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is Holy Light.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy Light?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of confusion flashed in both their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ang smiled and explained, \"It's similar to Healing Light, but it's not just a healing effect; it also possesses offensive capabilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle Li can understand it as a type of Light-element energy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Light-element energy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This explanation made Li Li Changkong understand the ability of the Holy Light talent instantly, and then he couldn't help but take a deep breath, wild joy flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he had guessed whether this other evolution direction would combine both healing and attack, and he hadn't expected it to actually be the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an old father, he had worried himself sick over his daughter's development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This concerned his daughter's future path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Li Li Changkong managed to calm himself down quickly, stroked his chin, and asked in a deep voice, \"This evolution direction is indeed tempting. How does classmate Chen Ang want to trade?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's very simple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ang said, \"I only need materials and heavenly treasures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Changkong agreed without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about the quantity?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two sets of materials: Death-type sub-dragon scales and heart blood. As for heavenly treasures, three will do. How about that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a while, Li Li Changkong had no objections to this price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, compared to the price, he was more concerned about another matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sub-dragon scales and heart blood?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered that Chen Ang's talent was Dragon Claw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he wanted these materials again, could it be...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Changkong's heart stirred. Looking at Chen Ang, he couldn't help but have a look of surprise flash in his eyes, and he couldn't help but ask, \"Classmate Chen Ang, have you found the evolution direction for the Dragon Claw talent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah? The evolution direction for the Dragon Claw talent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Li Li Leyao was stunned, then she also looked at Chen Ang in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ang smiled and shook his head, saying nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this posture already shocked Li Li Changkong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was certain that this classmate of his daughter's had truly found it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of luck was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it wasn't luck; could it be that he had explored it himself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if that were really the case, Chen Ang was definitely a top-tier genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that the other party's future path was bright and brilliant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, being able to explore the direction from first-tier evolution to second-tier didn't mean one couldn't explore the direction from second-tier to third-tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Li Li Changkong was even more shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, on the surface, he nodded calmly and said, \"Your request is acceptable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ang spoke again, \"Additionally, you need to prepare the materials for the evolution potion yourselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Changkong agreed to this as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ang immediately took out the list of materials he had prepared long ago and handed it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Li Li Changkong took it and glanced at it, he didn't look again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a smart man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that such a list would definitely contain other fake materials without needing to look closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, wouldn't it be very easy for others to figure out the real formula?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he didn't care; after all, he didn't have any thoughts in that direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, Li Li Changkong said, \"After lunch, I will immediately have people collect the materials. Once the materials are in hand, I will send them to you. How about that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ang nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purpose of the meeting was thus settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Li Li Changkong and Chen Ang had smiles on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they enjoyed the food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Changkong even asked where Chen Ang got the formula.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ang said it was in a ruin within a secret realm.\u003C\u002Fp>",1237,"2026-06-17T01:17:45.168Z","2026-06-17T03:30:16.079Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a630356d3760b8310af6afad07507d46b78e17342c060ffa6c3a041cf6b24df6","awakening-the-weakest-talent-i-rejected-the-scho-chapter-17","awakening-the-weakest-talent-i-rejected-the-scho-chapter-15",943,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fawakening-the-weakest-talent-i-rejected-the-scho-cover.jpg"]
