Chapter 4

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

After arriving at the new classroom and being arranged to sit down.

The homeroom teacher stood on the podium, scanned all the students, and spoke slowly. "You are all students who have awakened successfully, and from now on, you are also talent holders. As talent holders, strength is the foundation."

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

"At that time, you need to perform well. Only in this way can you be valued and recruited by good universities. A good talent university can not only let you avoid 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 vote appeared.

By the way, the technology in this world is still quite good, although not very 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 also be in two aspects, one is actual combat, and the other 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 time, the school hopes you can actively go into the Novice Secret Realm to fight beasts and gain actual combat experience."

"In the last week, the school will arrange unified training for you, understand?"

As the voice fell.

A group of students nodded one after another to indicate they understood.

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

"Besides that, the school will also issue a resource scroll. Each person can use the resource scroll to enter the school's warehouse and pick one evolution material and one ancient pattern."

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

Chen Ang got his quickly and revealed an expectant expression.

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 got up and headed straight for the school's inventory.

Resources or whatever, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have them.

But ancient patterns are still very necessary.

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

Ancient patterns come from inside beasts and are extremely rare, completely depending on luck for their birth.

However, it was only Chen Ang who ran so fast.

Because ancient patterns must adapt to one's own talent to be used; those that don't adapt cannot be learned.

Others might go after a while.

However, just after taking a few steps out of the classroom, a figure chased after him from behind.

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

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

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

Li Leyao got straight to the point. "That, I plan to go to the Novice Secret Realm tomorrow, but my talent currently only has healing ability and no combat ability, so I wanted to ask if I could go with you?"

Hearing this, Chen Ang's expression was stunned, but then he shook his head and refused. "Sorry, I'm used to acting alone, so I can't agree to you."

After speaking, Chen Ang turned and left.

Li Leyao had an unexpected look on her face, looking at Chen Ang's departing back with surprise in her eyes.

It seemed she hadn't expected to be refused.

After frowning for a moment, she soon relaxed again.

Although it was surprising that Chen Ang refused her, after thinking about it carefully, she understood.

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

Shaking her head, she also planned to leave.

However, at this moment, another voice sounded.

"Tsk, isn't it just awakening a Long Zhao? What's there to be arrogant about? Just got lucky, and maybe he'll be stuck at the first tier for a lifetime?"

Xie Kangning sneered, walked over with disdain, and said gently, "Leyao, don't mind that guy who became arrogant after awakening. Even if he awakened a Long Zhao, 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 Leyao refused without any hesitation.

However, as if thinking of something, her footsteps paused, and she said to Xie Kangning with a calm expression, "Student Xie Kangning, we are not familiar, so please remember to call me by my full name. Also, it's normal for Student Chen Ang to refuse me; it was my presumption, and it has nothing to do with him."

After speaking.

Li Leyao left without hesitation.

And 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 has long been a rumor in the school, and he is also a Tier 3 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 pick one resource and one ancient pattern, but it's limited to the first floor."

"Okay, I understand."

Chen Ang nodded and stepped inside.

Once inside, Chen Ang saw rows of shelves before him.

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

Resources.

Ancient patterns.

All kinds, making Chen Ang dazzled.

【Death Spirit Flower.】

【Corrosive Beast Fang.】

【Light Spirit Feather.】

【Flowing Light Fruit.】

【Five-Colored Dust.】

【...】

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

【Ice Dragon Roar.】

【Tearing Claw.】

【Crazy Charge.】

【Violent Strike.】

【Flame Whirlpool.】

【...】

Ancient patterns are skills; one has to see if they adapt to one's own talent.

Take Chen Ang's Long Zhao, for example.

The Long Zhao talent cannot learn skills related to elemental energy like 'Ice Dragon Roar' or 'Flame Whirlpool'.

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

However, characteristics need to be explored, and Chen Ang doesn't understand them yet.

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

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

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