Chapter 4: Aptitude Determines Treatment

Both letters arrived when Chen Guan was about to make a decision that could influence his future. If his speculation was correct, the greatest utility of this "golden finger" was to help him avoid pitfalls.

While meditating cross-legged, he pondered for nearly half a day, and in the late afternoon, a young boy who had made over a hundred attempts finally excitedly stood up.

"I did it! I sensed the Qi energy! I succeeded!"

The young boy was so excited that it startled everyone around him. If it weren't for the man in front still observing, he might have danced with joy.

The man didn't blame him, instead, he wore a satisfied smile, abandoning his previous serious demeanor.

"What's your name?"

"Zhao Zhanggang."

"Very good. You come forward and memorize the path of the cultivation technique. I am Yan Hongtao, the captain of the Royal Guards' Third Squad, a six-star Dou Grandmaster. If you have any questions in the following days, you can ask me."

"Yes!"

Listening to their conversation, the group of children showed envious expressions.

This was the first time Yan Hongtao had asked for their names. Without exceptional talent, their names were not worth remembering.

Chen Guan sat among the crowd, calm and composed. Another hour passed, and it was already dark when he finally followed Zhao Zhanggang's lead, excitedly informing Yan Hongtao that he had sensed the Qi energy.

"Very good. What's your name?"

"Chen Guan."

After a simple inquiry, Chen Guan stood beside Zhao Zhanggang.

In this remote place like the Jia Empire, there really weren't many geniuses. Throughout the entire day, apart from Chen Guan and Zhao Zhanggang, no one else succeeded.

Yan Hongtao was quite satisfied with this outcome. With two little geniuses, as long as they were properly nurtured, there was a great hope for them to break through to Spirit Fighters in the future. They would become the pillars of the Jia Empire!

"Alright, we'll stop here for today. After dinner, someone will arrange your accommodations. Rest well and continue tomorrow."

As Chen Guan looked at the disappointed and envious gazes on the faces of the dozens of children, he remained unaffected. Zhao Zhanggang, on the other hand, was extremely satisfied. Standing tall with his small frame, his face was filled with pride.

After eating their fill, a soldier arranged their accommodations. Unlike the seven to eight children crowded in a room with others, both Chen Guan and Zhao Zhanggang received special treatment and were assigned single rooms.

Aptitude determines treatment. This world is so damn realistic!

Sighing softly, just as Chen Guan finished washing up and was about to go to bed to cultivate, Zhao Zhanggang from the next room suddenly knocked on his door.

"You're Chen Guan, right? I'm Zhao Zhanggang, the first person today who sensed the Qi energy. You should remember that, right? In the future, if you have any questions, you can ask me. I will definitely cultivate quickly."

Blah blah blah, Zhao Zhanggang said a lot, his face unable to conceal his arrogance.

The past was already gone like smoke. Today, after experiencing the Qi energy, in his heart, he had already labeled himself as the first genius among this group of children. Those who couldn't even sense the Qi energy were not worthy of playing with him. Chen Guan barely met the standard, but still couldn't compare to him.

The vanity of children is simple and ridiculous.

Chen Guan vaguely dealt with it and sent the other boy away. He had no intention of competing with a little brat. That would be too childish. Mentalities don't align across age groups, and it's difficult to play together.

Back in bed, Chen Guan took out the cultivation technique he obtained today, with eager eyes. In the end, he reluctantly put it down. For him, the key now was to advance to the Dou Disciple rank as soon as possible!

Putting away the cultivation technique, Chen Guan began to practice following the tips taught by Yan Hongtao, absorbing the Qi energy between heaven and earth to accommodate himself.

Although this process was tedious and boring, he firmly believed that one reaps what one sows.

Curiosity about new things and the urgent desire to become stronger provided him with abundant motivation, enabling him to persist throughout the night.

But miraculously, despite not sleeping a wink, Chen Guan didn't feel particularly tired. The benefits of cultivation seemed to have already begun to manifest.

Or perhaps it was psychological.

Today, like yesterday, the group of children sat on the plaza to sense the Qi energy. Yan Hongtao, on the other hand, pulled Chen Guan and Zhao Zhanggang to the side to openly teach them how to absorb the energy and shared some points to pay attention to, mentioning not to focus too much on the cultivation technique.

Perhaps stimulated by the two of them, the children today were more serious. Four more individuals sensed the Qi energy and joined the group being taught separately.

On the third day, six people succeeded again.

On the fourth day, eight people succeeded.

On the fifth day, two people succeeded.

On the sixth day, eleven people succeeded.

In the blink of an eye, it had been a month since Chen Guan arrived at this "secret base." Among the nearly fifty children of the same batch, only seven failed to sense the Qi energy.

Chen Guan keenly perceived the look of pity in Yan Hongtao's eyes toward those seven individuals. It was not surprising that their fate would be training as cannon fodder in the future.

Once again, Chen Guan sighed. In this world, talent truly mattered!

Then he dismissed the matter from his mind.

He had to be cautious in his own life. How could he manage others?

However, in this past month, Chen Guan had been diligently cultivating without wasting any time. He only rested for two hours each night, but the gains were significant.

Now, he had reached the stage of a Fighter!

Just seven days ago, when Yan Hongtao asked him and Zhao Zhanggang to test their Fighter Qi on a stone monument, Chen Guan secretly tested it and found out.

Starting from scratch, within a month, he had reached the stage of a Fighter. This speed was already quite fast.

After all, he was still in the stage of refining the basics. In general knowledge, only after reaching the Fighter rank could one use elixirs and various precious materials, greatly accelerating the rate of advancement.

In addition to improving his strength, Chen Guan had also made progress in other areas. For example, in terms of communication, he could now hold normal conversations with others, albeit slightly slower in speech.

Recently, Zhao Zhanggang had noticeably decreased the frequency of seeking superiority from him. It seemed he sensed that Chen Guan did not hold the same respect for him as other peers, which caused some dissatisfaction.

Chen Guan was highly satisfied with this. It couldn't be better. He hoped no one would bother him and that he could spend all his time on cultivation.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, six months had passed since he started practicing.

The assessment that Yan Hongtao had mentioned finally arrived!
