Chapter 2

Although they will still set aside time every day to study general knowledge, more time will be spent on combat.

After arriving at the new classroom and being assigned a seat to sit down.

The homeroom teacher stood on the podium, his gaze sweeping over all the students, and he spoke slowly, "You are all students who have successfully awakened, and from now on, you are talent holders. As a talent holder, strength is the foundation."

"It just so happens that the college entrance exam is approaching."

"At that time, you will need to perform well. Only in this way can you be valued and recruited by good universities. A good talent university can not only save you from taking many detours but also provide many rare resources."

"Of course, the school will also help you in this regard."

The homeroom teacher tapped on the office desk, and then a virtual ballot appeared.

By the way, the technology in this world is quite good, although not extremely advanced.

But it is still much more advanced than the Earth before he transmigrated, after all, there is the help of talent holders.

"According to the college entrance exams of previous years, this year's exam will likely be in two aspects as well: one is actual combat, and the second is the exploration of talent characteristics."

"Because there is only one month left until the college entrance exam, you will have two weeks of free time next. During this period, the school hopes that you will take the initiative to go into the novice secret realm to fight fierce beasts and gain actual combat experience."

"For the final week, the school will arrange unified training for you. Do you understand?"

The voice fell.

The students nodded one after another to indicate they understood.

Seeing this, the homeroom teacher nodded with satisfaction and said, "Alright, for the time being, everyone can leave the school or study on your own."

"In addition, the school will issue a resource scroll. Each person can use the resource scroll to enter the school’s warehouse to select one evolution material and one ancient pattern."

After speaking, the homeroom teacher began to distribute the resource scrolls.

Chen Ang soon got his hands on one, revealing an expectant look.

A resource scroll is a good thing.

It’s just that he doesn't know if the school’s inventory has the materials he needs.

After getting the resource scroll, Chen Ang immediately stood up and headed straight for the school’s inventory.

It doesn't matter if there are no resources or whatever.

But ancient patterns are still very necessary.

Ancient patterns can be understood as things from which one can comprehend skills.

Ancient patterns come from within the bodies of fierce beasts and are extremely rare, their birth depending entirely on luck.

However, only Chen Ang would run so fast.

Because ancient patterns must be adapted to one's own talent to be used; those that are not adapted cannot be learned.

Others might go after a while.

However, not long after walking out of the classroom, a figure chased up from behind.

"Classmate Chen Ang, can, can you wait a moment?"

Chen Ang looked back; it was Li Li Li Leyao, and he immediately became puzzled. "Classmate Li Li Li Leyao, is there something the matter?"

He didn't remember having any interaction with this school beauty.

Li Li Li Leyao got straight to the point and stated her purpose. "Um, I plan to go to the novice secret realm tomorrow, but my talent currently only has healing abilities and no combat capabilities, so I wanted to ask if I could go with you?"

Hearing this, Chen Ang’s expression was dazed, but then he shook his head and refused. "Sorry, I am used to acting alone, so I cannot agree to your request."

After speaking, Chen Ang turned and left.

Li Li Li Leyao was full of surprise, looking at Chen Ang’s departing back with astonishment in her eyes.

It seemed she didn't expect to be rejected.

After frowning for a moment, she quickly relaxed.

Although Chen Ang’s rejection was surprising, she understood after thinking about it carefully.

After all, Chen Ang had always been alone, had no friends in the class, had always been a loner, and had no interaction with her, so it was normal for him to reject her.

Shaking her head, she also planned to leave.

However, at this moment, another voice sounded.

"Tch, isn't it just awakening a Dragon Claw? What’s there to be arrogant about? Just got lucky, and who knows, maybe he’ll be stuck at the First-Order for life?"

Xie Xie Kangning sneered, walking over with disdain, and said gently, "Li Li Leyao, don't mind that guy who became arrogant after awakening. Even if he awakened a Dragon Claw, so what? He probably doesn't even know how to fight. It just so happens I’m going to the secret realm tomorrow too, let’s go together?"

"No need, thank you."

Li Li Li Leyao refused without any hesitation.

However, as if thinking of something, she paused her steps and said to Xie Xie Kangning with a calm expression, "Classmate Xie Xie Kangning, we are not close, so please remember to call me by my full name. Moreover, it is normal for Classmate Chen Ang to reject me; it was my presumption, and it has nothing to do with him."

After speaking.

Li Li Li Leyao left without hesitation.

And Xie Xie Kangning had a gloomy gaze, his face livid, and after clenching his fists for a long time, he snorted and left.

4: Ancient pattern, stepping into the secret realm.

Walking out of the teaching building.

Chen Ang headed straight for the warehouse.

The warehouse was a separate building.

An old man was guarding the door, but no one dared to underestimate him.

Because this old man is a talent holder, there have long been rumors in the school, and he is also a Third-Order talent holder.

"Just awakened?"

Seeing Chen Ang walk over, the old man asked, obviously knowing about the school’s benefits for new talent holders.

"Yes."

Chen Ang nodded and took out the scroll to show the old man.

The old man nodded and said, "Alright, you can go in and select one resource and one ancient pattern, but it is limited to the first floor."

"Okay, I understand."

Chen Ang nodded and stepped inside.

As soon as he entered, Chen Ang saw rows of shelves before him.

On each shelf, there was an item, along with a sign providing an introduction.

Resources.

Ancient patterns.

All kinds of things, making Chen Ang dazzled.

【Death Spirit Flower.】

【Corrosive Beast Fang.】

【Feather of Lightness.】

【Flowing Light Fruit.】

【Five-Colored Dust.】

【...】

Chen Ang only glanced at them before looking at the ancient patterns.

【Ice Dragon Roar.】

【Tearing Claw.】

【Mad Charge.】

【Violent Strike.】

【Flame Vortex.】

【...】

Ancient patterns are skills; one must see if they are adapted to one's own talent.

Take Chen Ang’s Dragon Claw for example.

The Dragon Claw talent cannot learn skills related to elemental energy like 'Ice Dragon Roar' or 'Flame Vortex'.

But Tearing Claw, Violent Strike, and the like can be learned. More specifically, it depends on the characteristics; the more suitable the characteristic, the greater the power exerted.

However, characteristics need to be explored, and currently, Chen Ang does not understand them.

Of course, Chen Ang did not intend to pick an ancient pattern suitable for himself immediately; if it really doesn't work out, it’s the same to come back and look after he is familiar with his talent.

However, when Chen Ang’s gaze fell on these ancient patterns, his heart shook once again.

【Ice Dragon Roar ancient pattern, adaptability: zero.】
