Chapter 32

In the phone, a voice still came through, continuing. "Heh heh heh, if you want power, we can give it to you, but don't forget your mission."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man then spoke, saying. "As long as you don't forget what you have to pay, there won't be any mistakes on my side."

"I hope so."

"Hmph."

The middle-aged man snorted coldly and hung up the phone.

Immediately after, his expression turned gloomy, not knowing what he was thinking, gritting his teeth and murmuring. "Wan Wan Xingta..."

The video ended here.

Chen Ang frowned slightly, lost in thought.

The middle-aged man should be Xie Xie Kangning's father.

Although it was only a side profile, one could see a few similarities with Xie Xie Kangning.

The conversation, however, made Chen Ang curious.

"Wan Wan Xingta, could it be some kind of faction organization?"

"What are they trying to do?"

To be honest.

This video couldn't tell anything else.

Only that Xie Xie Kangning's father seemed to have made some kind of deal with a faction called Wan Wan Xingta.

But that was all.

He knew nothing else.

"Forget it, if I don't know, I don't know."

Chen Ang shook his head and put away the phone.

Although he wanted to kill Xie Xie Kangning, it didn't mean he had to do it himself.

After all...

What if the Blood Sect just slaughtered him?

It wasn't impossible, right?

One had to know that the old man's projection that appeared in the underground palace earlier was full of killing intent toward him; maybe he would come looking for him personally?

So Chen Ang planned to wait a few more days.

If Xie Xie Kangning didn't die by then, he would kill him himself.

Toward enemies, Chen Ang was never soft-hearted.

Shaking his head, Chen Ang walked toward the scar-faced man's corpse.

The beautiful tradition of looting corpses still couldn't be lost.

A quarter of an hour later.

Secret realm exit.

Chen Ang stepped into it.

Hum.

A sense of dizziness struck.

When Chen Ang opened his eyes again, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, the corners of his mouth curling up. "I'm back."

Not in a hurry to go home, Chen Ang chose to go to the identification hall first.

He was now very curious about the attribute of the talent stone in his hand.

31: Superpower-type, Body of Recovery.

Besides identifying the attributes of talent stones, the identification hall.

also identifies various materials.

Some materials are relatively special.

Take some talents for example; in the materials for making potions, one even needs a part of certain weapons.

For example, a part of a weapon that has killed over ten thousand enemies.

Or the fangs of a beast that has devoured ten thousand spirits.

And so on.

These materials all need to be identified to confirm their authenticity.

As for why the identification hall can identify these things.

The reason is also simple, because the members inside are all talent users who possess identification talents.

And next to the identification hall, it just happened to be a resource shop.

When Chen Ang arrived here, he thought for a moment, first stepped into the resource shop, and sold everything he had obtained in the secret realm, except for what he needed.

This also included the materials he had looted from the scar-faced man's corpse.

By the time Chen Ang came out, he was already carrying a huge sum of nearly seventy thousand dollars.

Of course.

This also included Chen Ang's own savings.

"Not bad, I can have a good meal today."

Chen Ang had a smile on his face and stepped into the identification hall again.

There were quite a few people here, but it couldn't be said to be many.

Some people were waiting with materials.

There were two windows inside.

One was for identifying materials.

The other was for identifying talent stones.

There was no one on the talent stone side, so Chen Ang didn't have to queue.

He could start identification after paying the fee.

However, this fee was also expensive.

"Tsk, ten thousand dollars for one identification? This money is really easy to earn."

Chen Ang curled his lips.

But there was no way, who told him that people with this kind of talent were few.

Things are valued for their rarity.

"This gentleman, please come with me."

A waiter arrived, said a word, and immediately led the way.

When he was brought into a private room and a cup of tea was poured.

Not long after, a middle-aged woman walked in, nodded slightly toward Chen Ang, and smiled. "Hello, sir, I am the appraiser this time; please take out your talent stone."

"Okay."

Chen Ang nodded, took out the talent stone, and handed it over.

After the woman took it, she looked at it carefully and then activated her own talent.

Or rather, activated the original attribute of this talent stone.

To Chen Ang, he could feel a force being poured into the talent stone.

Immediately after, the originally simple and unadorned talent stone suddenly flashed with a dazzling luster, adding a touch of dull color.

Grayish-white.

The female appraiser quickly finished the identification, handed the talent stone to Chen Ang, and said. "Sir, your talent stone has been identified; it is superpower-type."

"Superpower-type? I see, thank you."

Chen Ang nodded.

Wind, fire, water, earth, these belong to the elemental-type.

Strength, speed, berserk, these belong to the ordinary-type.

Dragon claw, stone arm, these belong to the transformation-type.

And telekinesis belongs to the superpower-type.

To put it bluntly, the superpower-type talents in this world are similar to the Paramecia-type Devil Fruits in the 'One Piece' world.

Taking the talent stone, a flash of contemplation crossed Chen Ang's eyes, and then he got up and left.

He was still whispering in his heart. "Superpower-type talent, is there anything suitable for me?"

"Or should I find another way to obtain a talent stone?"

Actually, for his second talent, Chen Ang originally leaned toward talents like strength or speed.

Don't look at them as ordinary.

But their potential is not small.

And they are very suitable to match his first talent; most importantly, the evolution materials are easy to find.

However, after careful consideration, Chen Ang shook his head again.

Talent stones are not that easy to obtain.

Being able to obtain one this time was purely due to good luck.

Even if there were some on the market, he couldn't afford to buy one now.

"Forget it, superpower-type it is."

"Superpower-type, I remember there are quite a few talents that are not bad."

"How about getting vibration?"

"Or telekinesis?"

While pondering.

Chen Ang walked out of the identification hall.

Suddenly.

As if remembering something, Chen Ang took out the talent stone and placed it before his eyes, his heart stirring immediately.

Lines of prompts appeared before his eyes.

[This is an activated superpower-type talent stone; well, I know what you want to see, so I have listed them for you.]

[Can make talent potion: Telekinesis, adaptability: 30.]

[Can make talent potion: Rotation, adaptability: 31.]

[Can make talent potion: Deterrence, adaptability: 78.]

[Can make talent potion: Body of Recovery, adaptability: 100.]

[Can make talent potion...]

[...]

"It really works?!"

Seeing the prompt before his eyes, Chen Ang was shocked.

His heart was filled with ecstasy.

Originally, he was just thinking about whether he could use his golden finger to see which superpower-type talents were most suitable for his current self.

It was just a try, but it actually worked.

How could Chen Ang not be excited?

However, there were quite a few superpower-type talents.

After Chen Ang scanned through them.

He saw quite a few talents suitable for himself.

And even for those with 100 adaptability, there were many.

In the end, Chen Ang fixed his gaze on that 'Body of Recovery' talent.

"Body of Recovery, if I remember correctly, the ability of this talent is that as long as you are injured, you can slowly recover."

"Sounds good, but the recovery speed isn't fast."

"And the evolution route, there is one, which is Body of Iron Wall, making the body become stiff as iron while also having the ability to slowly recover."

"Why is the adaptability so high with me in the golden finger's prompt?"

Chen Ang was a bit puzzled.

But then he shook his head.

Let's go back first.

Although only one evolution route was known currently, maybe there were quite a few undiscovered evolution routes?

Just as he was about to leave, seeming to have sensed something, Chen Ang glanced toward the distance from the corner of his eye, and a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.

But then everything disappeared, as if nothing had happened, and he continued to walk in the direction of home.

And in the distance.

In an alley.

A figure was holding a phone, trembling and saying. "Young Master Xie, really, how could I deceive you? I really saw that guy, he just walked out of the identification hall."

"Yeah, he doesn't look injured either."

"Now? Now it looks like he's going back."

"Okay, I know."

The thug hung up the phone.

Looking at the phone, then looking at the direction Chen Ang left, his expression was helpless, and he curled his lips and cursed secretly. "What kind of trash Young Master Xie, he even said this guy would definitely die, and now he's still full of life."

"Forget it, anyway, since I can't solve it, I'll go and join someone else."

Outside the city area.

In a yellow sand plain.

Two figures gathered, wearing blood-colored robes.

One man and one woman.

The man was effeminate.

The woman was beautiful.

It's just that at this moment, the woman was biting on a straw, and under the straw, a fierce beast's head was inserted.

Taking a deep breath, a look of intoxication appeared on the woman's face.

Regarding this, the effeminate man's expression remained unchanged, only slowly opening his mouth to say. "The High Priest has ordered us to go to Diwen City and solve a guy named Xie Xie Kangning."

"Okay~."

32: Xiao Xiao Yiqing's invitation.

Back home.

After washing up, Chen Ang returned to his room and opened his phone.

As soon as he opened it.

Ding dong.

Ding dong.

Ding dong.

The sound was constant.

They were all messages.

"Chen Ang, when are you coming back?"

"You didn't die in the secret realm, did you?"

"Come back early, Dad asked me to tell you an important piece of news."

"Don't be in a hurry to evolve. Dad said it's better to evolve after feeling your body has reached its limit; otherwise, you'll regret it to death later."

"Student Chen Ang, once you awaken successfully, you are a talent user; whether you can evolve or not, you only know after trying. Explore characteristics, search for materials; even if you fail, you won't regret it, you know?"

"Also, work hard, go to the novice secret realm during this time to hone your combat skills. Even if you can't evolve now, if you get a good grade after the college entrance exam and enter a good university, you might be able to get help with evolution by then if you worship a good teacher."

"Work hard."

[You have a new friend request.]

Hmm.
