In Jingzhou, upon learning that Zhuge Liang had no intention of becoming his uncle's disciple, Pang Tong felt so dejected that he didn't say another word before he packed his bags and prepared to leave Jingzhou. Even the so-called encyclopedic teachings that Lord Pang De wanted to impart to him, he packed up only a couple of hundred-page books to take with him.
Pang Tong had indeed decided to compete against Zhuge Liang to the very end; he was determined to settle the score between them. He had heard that Zhuge Liang was already aware of his own Talent Attribute, whereas Pang Tong was still clueless about his, which greatly dissatisfied him. Zhuge Liang, who was two years younger than himself, had also awakened to his Talent, and Pang Tong, who had always been rather arrogant in Zhuge Liang's presence, felt deeply affected.
