“Fortunately, Big Brother still won in the end…” Standing on the spot, Lu Yao patted her chest.
‘Your elder brother is powerful…’ In her heart, Ye Zi’s voice sounded.
Hearing the voice, Lu Yao subconsciously turned around and looked at her feet. Ye Zi was squatting by her feet. There seemed to be some doubt in her large eyes at this moment.
“Just now, your elder brother’s last attack was so powerful…”
“What was that?” Lu Yao asked casually.
“It was the same as your elder brother’s opponent, it should be some kind of unique battle, but it was very powerful…” Ye Zi said, and her voice kept ringing in Lu Yao’s mind.
“Apart from his strength, your elder brother should also have mastered a very powerful offensive battle skill. Previously, your elder brother showed weakness until the opponent revealed a flaw. Only then did he make a decisive move and kill the opponent in one strike.”
“Very impressive.” Recalling Chen Heng’s performance just now, she praised him. Even from her point of view, Chen Heng’s performance just now was outstanding.
From the beginning to the end, the flow of this battle was in Chen Heng’s hands. The previous confrontation was to wear down the opponent’s patience and energy, and the subsequent one was to show weakness and make the opponent lower his guard.
Then, when the opponent thought that Chen Heng had already used his last resort and was powerless, that was the crucial counterattack. It was a one-hit victory, directly defeating an opponent that was initially impossible to defeat.
Such an extraordinary performance was something that even Ye Zi could not help but praise. She had encountered many opponents in the galaxy in the past, and many were powerful.
However, very few people like Chen Heng were powerful, had extraordinary battle instincts, and controlled the rhythm. He was a rare talent.
“Woof, your elder brother is very strong… if he can be properly trained, he will be able to help Your Highness, my King in the future!”
Recalling Chen Heng’s performance just now, Ye Zi could not help but say with some excitement, “His talent is much stronger than many of the geniuses I have seen before. He is a top-notch genius.”
“Properly trained…” Lu Yao’s face was filled with a bitter smile. She did not know what to say. “He still needs to be trained well? I feel that he’s almost unbeatable now.”
She had already seen Chen Heng’s strength just now. The peak of the Third Rank. And what did such strength mean?
Even if the scope was enlarged to the extent of the entire Qika Federation, a Third Rank person was already considered top-notch.
In Lu Yao’s city currently lived in, the strongest person might not even be at the Third Rank. Moreover, from their performance just now, an ordinary Third Rank would not be able to hold on in front of them for long. They would be able to take the ordinary Third Rank people down within a minute without any doubt.
With such strength, even in the entire Qika Federation, they would already be at their peak. Although they did not dare say that they were the strongest, they were not far from it.
With such strength, Chen Heng still needed to be adequately trained? Lu Yao did not dare to imagine what degree of strength Chen Heng would have if he were adequately trained.
“Woof…” Hearing Lu Yao’s words, Ye Zi barked. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly stopped because, on the screen, there were some changes in the contents of the broadcast, displaying some interviews.
This was a very normal thing. In the Qika League, some outstanding contestants would often be introduced in detail, and there might even be interviews. After all, just like what Lu Yao understood, those contestants in the Qika League were top-notch geniuses.
Such geniuses were often a legend themselves. No matter how much effort they put in, it was all worth it.
“… Geniuses are born in the bitter cold. I think everyone is inquisitive about what kind of environment a genius like a student Lu Kong was born in, right?” A supporter was holding a microphone on the screen as he walked down an old street.
“That’s… my place?” Looking at the screen in front of the television, Lu Yao could not help but be stunned.
“As everyone can see, this is the place where student Lu Kong grew up. Many of them even have the impression of student Lu Kong when he was young.” In front of the television screen, the smile on the host’s face did not change.
However, a look of surprise appeared on his face as he looked at the place in front of him, “In the entire Qika League, this might be the most ordinary contestant. Let’s go to another place to have a look.”
Then, the scene changed, and they came to another place other than Dragon City Academy. However, the site that appeared in front of the screen was strange compared to the usual place. It was not as clean as usual but was dirty, messy, and smelly. It was none other than the slaughterhouse of Dragon City Academy.
“This is…” Lu Yao was stunned, staring at the scene
“As everyone can see, this is where student Lu Kong works every day…” The supporters walked in with a smile on their faces.
Inside, a middle-aged man named Fang Yuan welcomed them.
“I believe everyone wants to know why Lu Kong usually works here.”
“The reason is simple…” A discreet and sighing tone sounded, which was exceptionally infectious at this moment. “To make ends meet…”
“On the surface, Lu Kong is bright, but in fact, he needs to support a family. Based on what we know, he was different from the other students around him during his life at Dragon City Academy. Lu Kong spent most of his time working here.”
“He worked hard in the slaughterhouse to make some hard-earned money. When others were training hard or enjoying their lives, he worked here. There was no particular reason. It’s just that Lu Kong’s family is poor and needs him to make a living. I can testify to that.” The owner of the slaughterhouse named Fang Yuan’s voice sounded.
He spoke before the screen with a serious expression, describing Chen Heng’s normal working state. Regardless of whether it was windy or rainy, Chen Heng was always the first to arrive here and the last to leave. His workload was the largest among them, and it was also the most tiring.
“Why is it so?”
Fang Yuan sighed. “I once asked him this question, and the answer I got made me silent. He told me, ‘Because I still have my parents and my younger sister, who is still in school. I don’t want to burden them too much, so I can only work hard.’ That’s why.” After saying this, Fang Yuan fell into silence, as if he was immersed in emotion. Before the television, countless people were also silent because of this.
The impression of a genius who grew up bright came from a low-income family but was exceptionally sensible was suddenly profoundly rooted in people’s hearts.
To not let his parents feel too much burden, he never relaxed even when entering Dragon City Academy. When the surrounding students were indulging in fun, he worked in the slaughterhouse, a place with the worst condition, and only did so to not burden his family and earn tuition fees for his sister.
When others were already resting, he was still working overtime and was the last to leave. He worked so hard that he was the first to work and the last to leave.
Perhaps, it was precisely a persistent person who could achieve such achievements. At this moment, countless people could not help but feel touched.
Lu Yao looked at the scenes displayed on the screen in a daze. At this moment, she was dumbstruck and did not move at all. After a long while, she finally reacted and burst into tears.
“Big Brother has done so much for us in a place where I can’t see him…” Tears flowed from her eyes. She couldn’t help but feel a little touched as she recalled the image of her elder brother in the past.
The impression of her elder brother, who was cold and distant in her heart, had disappeared entirely. What replaced it was a cold-faced but warm-hearted elder brother who cared so much about her but never showed it – the elder brother who silently carried everything on his back.
Beside her, Ye Zi was also somewhat moved. Looking at Lu Yao, she could not help but stretch out her dog paw and pat Lu Yao’s body to comfort her.
“Sigh…” While comforting Lu Yao, she turned and looked at the television.
The interview was still going on and had not ended. However, the content was a little touching. The more Ye Zi watched, the more she felt sad.
“So a genius born at the bottom is living in this kind of environment?” Ye Zi could not help but sigh. She didn’t know what to say.
Ye Zi was the one who chased after the former Golden King. She was discovered from a very young age and was once a genius on the Golden Star. Therefore, she did not know that geniuses in this world who came from the bottom would have to face so many difficulties.
She had previously thought that the most significant difficulty in this world was practice itself. But now, it seemed that she was fortunate. In this world, some people want to practice, but they also face many additional difficulties and practice itself.
Thinking of this, Ye Zi could not help but secretly sigh and did not console Lu Yao, who was standing in front of her.
“This is ridiculous…”
In the distance, Chen Heng was also watching the exclusive interview in his room. After watching the interview of Fang Yuan, his supporters, and the others in front of the television, Chen Heng could not help but secretly ridicule.
Sure enough, the city knew how to manipulate things. He wouldn’t say if he didn’t watch it, but when he did, he was shocked. When did he become so high and mighty?
Everything about studying hard in the academy, working hard, earning a living to support his family, all the hard work since he was young, and being sensible and obedient…
Chen Heng thought about his predecessor’s character and appearance, and he didn’t believe that his predecessor was this kind of person. He went to work in the slaughterhouse, but the purpose was completely different from what they mentioned.
In the end, he could only sigh and say that the city knew exactly how to manipulate things.
‘This was the publicity she mentioned…’
The exclusive interview was the publicity that Liu Rou had mentioned earlier. Judging from the current situation, the repercussion of this interview was indeed very good.
How positive and inspiring was the story of a genius who came from a poor background but worked hard from a young age and eventually made it to the Qika League? Perhaps even the officials of Dragon City Academy and the Qika Federation would be happy to see this.
After all, on the one hand, it promoted positive energy, and on the other hand, it also mentioned Dragon City Academy. At the same time, it could also inspire countless people from ordinary backgrounds and have some chicken soup for the soul.
Chen Heng couldn’t help but feel a little ashamed, and he felt a little nauseous looking at this content. Sure enough, he was still not shameless enough. He sighed in his heart, then turned around and walked to the side, preparing to continue recuperating.
In the recuperation room, there were special facilities. The instruments here were very advanced. They could repair injuries on a person’s body to the greatest extent, allowing the wounds to recover quickly.
If it weren’t for the sake of allowing Chen Heng to recover at the fastest speed, the Black Dream Group wouldn’t have applied for such a place.
In addition, according to Chen Heng’s situation, Liu Rou was still running around, preparing to arrange a few weaker opponents for Chen Heng, although the contestants who would stand on the stage up until now wouldn’t be too weak.
So long as they weren’t at Wang Zhong’s level, it would be fine. With Chen Heng’s current strength, he could quickly resolve them even if he couldn’t use his full strength. In this way, he could buy some time for Chen Heng to recover from his injuries, as there would be an interval between each match.
As for the injuries on his body…
Chen Heng felt it for a moment. From his self-perception, the injuries on his body would heal in about half a month, which was very fast.
After all, although his previous injuries looked scary, they were not. The injuries he had suffered were not left behind by Wang Zhong but by Chen Heng on purpose. Hence he would naturally look for the lightest spot.
Therefore, his injuries were lighter than others had imagined. After recuperating for more than half a month, it would be enough.
Of course, being able to recover in more than half a month was one thing, and whether he wanted to inform others was a different story. At least for now, Chen Heng decided to cover up his injuries. Even if he had recovered, he would pretend that he hadn’t.
It wasn’t for anything in particular. He was just trying to look miserable and save something for himself. After experiencing so many things, this kind of operation had almost become Chen Heng’s instinct. Of course, this was not Chen Heng’s biggest concern right now.
What he saw on the field before was what he cared about the most. What exactly were the nine stone tablets that looked like the world origin and the information that suddenly flashed out?
Based on Chen Heng’s understanding, these things were undoubtedly a unique inheritance. However, only one stone tablet before Chen Heng was bright at that time.
‘Did this mean that Chen Heng only obtained one-ninth of the inheritance? Where were the other eight inheritances?’
Chen Heng silently turned around and looked at his palm, which began to show a change under his gaze. A faint golden sheen appeared on the initially delicate white palm, making it seem very special. A mysterious feeling emerged in front of his eyes, and it was unique.
‘An ability that can disregard the telekinetic defense?’
Chen Heng looked at his golden arm and thought.
In the previous match, everyone thought that he had used an unknown battle skill to break through Wang Zhong’s defense at the critical moment. However, only Chen Heng knew that this was not the case.
What he had displayed previously was not a battle skill but a unique ability. Using this ability, he seemed to have ignored the telekinesis defense.
No, it should be more than that.
This ability should not be that simple based on Chen Heng’s feelings. It was not just telekinesis, but this ability could perhaps even disregard the spiritual power or even the defense of life energy to a certain extent. It was a mighty power.
Of course, this power was mighty, but at this moment, Chen Heng didn’t have complete control over it. He had just awakened this power and could only activate it and cover a part of his body for a short period.
Therefore, if Wang Zhong hadn’t been careless and exposed his weakness directly, giving Chen Heng a great opportunity, that battle would still have been possible.
Besides this ability, Chen Heng seemed to have obtained something else from the stone tablet – a refinement method of the telekinetic power.
‘As expected, there are still telekinesis inheritances in this world…’
As he sat on the sofa, Chen Heng thought and felt the information in his body. This telekinetic power refining method didn’t have any name, and its function was simple. It was just to refine and make his telekinetic power stronger.
Although its function was simple, it would make everyone shocked and frenzy if exposed because there didn’t seem to be any inheritance that could precisely refine one’s telekinetic power on this planet.
There was only one way to increase one’s telekinetic power. One could either stimulate his spirit and use the growth of his spirit to improve his telekinetic power, or alternatively, use a unique treasure or even the power of a secret realm to increase one’s telekinetic power.
No matter which method it was, it could not be done simply, as the method of stimulating one’s spirit was hazardous. The slightest carelessness could cause one to become a madman.
The unique treasures and secret realms were undoubtedly very precious. Chen Heng simply couldn’t afford to use them unless he were someone like Wang Zhong, who came from a large family and was the future successor of a martial artist family.
As for the nameless refining method before him, which could directly increase his telekinesis power through training, Chen Heng had never heard of it before.
One could imagine the value of this telekinesis power refining method.
