Chapter 283
【Three: Teleportation】
Three evolution paths appeared one by one before Chen Ang, causing him to fall into a moment of deliberation.
"These three evolution paths have absolutely nothing to do with each other."
"The Extinction Dragon King should be a direct upgrade of the Extinction Dragon; its characteristics shouldn't differ much."
"What's up with this Undying Thunder Body? Could it be related to the karma I buried when I fused with the Thunder Body?"
"And this Teleportation—I certainly don't want to end up as a talent-user who just teleports others around."
Although the three evolution paths were vastly different, Chen Ang did not hesitate for a second and chose the first one, not even considering the other two.
Once the evolution path was decided, only two things remained: increasing his own attributes and finding the materials.
With a thought, the evolution materials for the Extinction Dragon King floated before his eyes:
Extinction Origin x1, Extinction Stone x1, Blood Essence of a Death Dragon x5 drops, Heaven Extinction Fruit x1, Divine Law Substance x1.
"Is it really this outrageous?"
Chen Ang was stunned after seeing the evolution materials.
He didn't even know what this Extinction Origin was, let alone where to find it. As for the Extinction Stone, he hadn't even heard of it.
The blood essence of a Death Dragon was relatively the easiest item to resolve.
He had never heard of the Heaven Extinction Fruit either.
He did have one Divine Law Substance on him, which he had found in Leng Mou's spatial ring.
"But there doesn't seem to be a requirement for the attribute of this Divine Law Substance. It feels like different attributes would bring different effects to the post-evolution boost. It seems I need to pay more attention to Divine Law Substances in the future."
Next, the characteristics of the Extinction Dragon King also appeared:
【Extinction Dragon King: Can transform into a Dragon King. Can absorb the origin attributes of other Dragon Kings into one's own Extinction Law to improve one's physique and comprehension of laws.】
"Damn, isn't this Extinction Dragon King just a pure devourer? It's actually got something going for it."
At this point, Chen Ang had settled on the evolution path and needed to start looking for materials.
However, since he didn't know what several of the materials were, he had to ask the two deities.
"My lords, I would like to ask, what is an Extinction Origin?" Chen Ang asked.
"Extinction Origin? Why are you interested in that?" Lord Lord Nufeng asked upon hearing Chen Ang's words.
"I will need it for my next stage of evolution, but I've never heard of it," Chen Ang said.
"You can already know the materials needed for your talent evolution at this stage??" Lord Lord Nufeng asked in disbelief.
"Hehe, it's easy enough," Chen Ang said with a smile.
"Good, very good! You are truly worthy of being the pride of our talent-users. The Extinction Origin is the purest source of power for the Extinction attribute, though the Extinction attribute is indeed quite rare," Lord Lord Nufeng explained to Chen Ang excitedly.
"My lords, there are a few more things I would like to ask about," Chen Ang said tentatively. After all, he was facing two deities, and he wasn't sure if they would pay him much mind.
"Ask whatever you like, it's no trouble," Lord Lord Nufeng replied immediately.
"I also want to ask what the Extinction Stone and the Heaven Extinction Fruit are? I haven't heard of these two things either," Chen Ang said.
"It seems your strength after this evolution will be a qualitative leap; the materials required are so harsh," the Goddess of Wind and Snow said.
"Indeed, I didn't expect you would need a material like the Heaven Extinction Fruit."
"The Heaven Extinction Fruit is a very high-grade heavenly treasure, usually growing in thunder lands. A single thunder land can only produce five Heaven Extinction Fruits each year. As for the Extinction Stone, it is also a product of thunder lands, but compared to the Heaven Extinction Fruit, the Extinction Stone is more common," Lord Lord Nufeng explained one by one.
"Many thanks to you both for the clarification," Chen Ang thanked them quickly.
"Good, truly good." Lord Lord Nufeng was full of praise for Chen Ang at this moment.
"Chen Ang, I have one thing to ask you, and you must answer truthfully," the Goddess of Wind and Snow said suddenly.
"My lady, please speak." Chen Ang's heart skipped a beat, but he calmed down instantly.
"Do you have some special ability to figure out the evolution paths of talents?" the Goddess of Wind and Snow asked.
Chen Ang was stunned to hear this, but no matter how powerful the Goddess of Wind and Snow was, it was impossible for her to detect that he possessed a "Golden Finger."
"I do indeed have a certain method for exploring talent evolution," Chen Ang said straightforwardly.
"Then can you figure out the evolution directions for other talents?" the Goddess of Wind and Snow continued to ask.
This question caught Chen Ang off guard. He did have this ability, but he felt that admitting it directly wouldn't benefit him, so he thought for a moment and said, "I haven't tried that, and I'm not sure, but I could give it a try."
"That's great! This way, the strength of our talent-users can reach a new level," the Goddess of Wind and Snow said happily.
It should be known that in the entire world of talent-users, many talents are similar to Chen Ang's Dragon Claw talent—fierce in the early stages, but because they cannot find a way to evolve, their cultivation stagnates.
"One more thing: if you can help others figure out their evolution paths, the benefits to you will also be immense. You can choose to have them pay a certain reward, or you can use this opportunity to build your own power," Lord Lord Nufeng added from the side.
Chen Ang was indeed tempted. Because of his "golden finger," seeing someone else's evolution path was a trivial matter, but for that person, it was a massive opportunity.
What tempted Chen Ang wasn't the rewards, but what Lord Lord Nufeng said about building his own power. In this light, helping others figure out their talent evolution paths was indeed feasible.
"Chen Ang, the reason I told you so much is that you are not just a pride among talent-users; being a pride also means a kind of responsibility. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I hope you understand this principle," the Goddess of Wind and Snow said suddenly.
Chen Ang couldn't help but have a bad premonition after hearing this.
"Indeed. Chen Ang, Lord Lord Nufeng and I intend to cultivate you as the leader of the younger generation. Of course, you have the strength for it yourself. The reason we are doing this is that, although we talent-users are powerful now, our current situation is one of being surrounded by enemies. Once our strength declines, or if their strength improves, the world of talent-users will suffer a devastating blow," Lord Lord Nufeng said meaningfully.
293: Locust Antennas
Chen Ang also felt the truth in what Lord Lord Nufeng said; after all, on the rift battlefield, when Lord Lord Nufeng confronted the deities of other races, he didn't give them any face at all.
"My lords, rest assured, I, Chen Ang, am a reasonable person." Chen Ang didn't rush to commit himself, instead throwing out a "smoke bomb."
"If you say it like that, Lord Lord Nufeng and I are already very surprised. At the very least, you didn't refuse directly," the Goddess of Wind and Snow said.
"Hehe..." The Goddess of Wind and Snow's words made Chen Ang feel a bit awkward.
"This is for you, consider it a small token of our appreciation," the Goddess of Wind and Snow continued.
A small jade bottle was handed to Chen Ang.
Chen Ang didn't open it immediately; after all, the two deities were still there.
"Alright, we have said what we needed to say, Acting Acting Dean Shen. Chen Ang, we will take our leave now," the Goddess of Wind and Snow said.
With that, the two deities, Wind and Snow, disappeared from the spot.
"Principal, is this place part of our school?" Chen Ang had thought this was the residence of the two deities when he arrived, but now that they had left, he couldn't help but feel confused.
"You could say that," the old principal said.
Chen Ang was a bit bewildered by the old principal's words. What did "you could say that" mean?
"Then, old principal, how about I stay here for two days?" Chen Ang asked suddenly.
Since Chen Ang was waiting for the competition in the Extinction World to start, he had nothing to do, and this pavilion looked quite quiet, so he had the temporary idea of making a breakthrough here.
"You can. In the future, a room can be assigned to you. To be precise, this place is an important area of our academy, and only core personnel know of its existence," the old principal said.
"So, Principal, you are treating me as core personnel now," Chen Ang said casually.
"Chen Ang, I hope you will carefully consider what the two deities just said. After all, with greater ability comes greater responsibility," the old principal said meaningfully.
"Principal, I know that, and I will think it through carefully," Chen Ang said seriously.
The principal then brought Chen Ang to a room and left.
Chen Ang thought about the words of the two deities, Lord Lord Nufeng and Wind and Snow.
"Making a choice for the greater good? What will I actually do?"
Chen Ang wasn't sure if he would dedicate his power to the world of talent-users.
"Forget it. The prerequisite for sacrificing the small self for the greater good is having sufficient strength. My top priority is to honestly improve my strength."
Chen Ang stopped overthinking. The most important thing now was to improve his strength.
Chen Ang took out the heavenly treasures he had stored and ate several of them in one go.
The aura on his body began to climb continuously as he absorbed the spiritual energy contained within the treasures.
The blood in his body surged violently.
His body took on a high-temperature red hue, and gas was constantly being expelled.
This state lasted for nearly half an hour.
With a thought, Chen Ang brought up his attribute panel:
【Body: 10500 (Limit: 14000).】
【Strength: 10300 (Limit: 14000).】
【Agility: 10200 (Limit: 14000).】
【Spirit: 11000 (Limit: 14000).】
Chen Ang was quite satisfied with his improvement this time; he was now not far from the limit of this stage.
"It seems that after the competition in the Extinction World, I need to go to the thunder land to find materials for the next stage," Chen Ang thought to himself.
He then took out the jade bottle given to him by the Goddess of Wind and Snow.
