Chapter 1145: Misplaced Talent

"Places that have never been discovered?"

Murong Qi couldn't help but laugh. Is there any place in this world that your grandfather doesn't know about?

Your grandfather is the strongest, after all.

Han Liang said with longing, "I've always wondered how high the sky is and how far the eight directions reach. Brother Murong, I always feel like something is calling to me from very far away."

Murong Qi laughed, "Then Cultivate well. If you go outside with your current cultivation, you'll be torn to shreds before long."

"Tch, you just like to scare me."

"There are many people in the Simulation Trial that you can't beat. That's just in our dojo. Think about how many more people there are outside."

"But I never see real people in the dojo anyway. They must count as outsiders too."

"You're quite smart."

"That's right!"

The two chatted idly like this.

Before Han Jue gives the word, Han Liang cannot leave the dojo, even if he begs Murong Qi, it would be useless.

After Murong Qi left, other Disciples came to keep Han Liang company. Han Liang could be said to be showered with endless affection.

It is the same grandson, but Chu Xiaoqi's experience was not so fortunate.

After Huang Zuntian passed his Legacy to Chu Xiaoqi, he left, letting Chu Xiaoqi venture out alone.

At Huang Zuntian's suggestion, Chu Xiaoqi resigned from his position as an Immortal God. This caused dissatisfaction among the God Race. If Immortal Gods could just quit whenever they wanted, what dignity would the God Race have left? Consequently, Chu Xiaoqi was hunted down.

Chu Xiaoqi regretted it deeply. He only returned to say goodbye because he had a favorable impression of the God Race. Had he known it would turn out like this, he would have been better off faking his death and escaping directly; the God Race might not even have remembered him.

After receiving Huang Zuntian's Legacy, Chu Xiaoqi was reborn, and ordinary Immortal Gods were no match for him.

Under the pursuit of the God Race, Chu Xiaoqi fought his way to fame until he met Chen Jue.

Because Chu Xiaoqi was difficult to deal with, the God Race had to dispatch Chen Jue.

Chu Xiaoqi had special feelings for Chen Jue before, even though Chen Jue didn't know him. So, when Chen Jue stood in his way, he still felt a lot of pressure.

"Chu Xiaoqi, submit to the law!"

Chen Jue was clad in silver armor of the God Race, with Spiritual Root Phoenix wings crowning his head. His cape fluttered in the air, and his mere Aura was enough to make one think of the word 'War God'.

Chu Xiaoqi's appearance was also outstanding, but in front of Chen Jue, he always felt inferior.

Chen Jue frowned and said, "Considering we became Immortal Gods in the same batch, I don't want to attack you. Surrender!"

He continued to approach Chu Xiaoqi.

A strange black mark suddenly appeared between Chu Xiaoqi's brows. As a Calamity Sealing Fated One, he had actually been bestowed with the Great Dao Fortune Divine Authority by Huang Zuntian!

Facing the renowned Chen Jue, Chu Xiaoqi decided to go all out.

Chu Xiaoqi's speed was extremely fast. Before Chen Jue could react, Chu Xiaoqi attacked from behind. He struck with his palm, and this palm unleashed thousands of stars that rapidly grew larger. The rapidly expanding stars slammed into Chen Jue, knocking him toward the horizon.

Boom! Boom! Boom…

Chen Jue was caught off guard by the stars and fell towards the end of the world at high speed.

These stars were as large as mountains, and the moment they hit Chen Jue, they exploded. The terrifying power was almost too much for Chen Jue to bear.

"This kid…"

Chen Jue was shocked and had to use his Divine Ability to dodge.

As soon as he reappeared, another star collided with him, followed by countless others, making him dizzy.

Chen Jue continued to dodge, but no matter how he moved, those stars haunted him, chasing him relentlessly.

This was Chu Xiaoqi's special ability as a Calamity Sealing Fated One. Every Calamity Sealing Fated One gains their own special ability upon obtaining the Great Dao Fortune Divine Authority, equivalent to a talent-based Divine Ability.

Chu Xiaoqi was already proficient in using his ability; he felt it was overbearing and nearly invincible.

The result proved his assumption correct; even someone as strong as Chen Jue was suppressed.

These stars were exchanged for his own cultivation, and they were no different from real stars.

After Huang Zuntian's guidance, Chu Xiaoqi's cultivation was already very close to Chen Jue's, so his Divine Ability was enough to suppress Chen Jue.

"I am too strong!"

Chu Xiaoqi felt exhilarated, and Huang Zuntian's image in his heart soared infinitely.

The Divine Ability his Master taught him could actually suppress even Chen Jue!

Chu Xiaoqi was thrilled. He wasn't in a hurry to escape and continued to use his Divine Ability, suppressing Chen Jue until he fell to the ground. Soon, his divine armor shattered, he was covered in blood, and he was in an extremely sorry state.

Chen Jue was also incredibly frustrated. These stars were simply too clingy; they were his natural nemesis, leaving him with no room to counterattack.

Chu Xiaoqi suddenly felt a bit of hesitation. After all, when Chen Jue first found him, he didn't attack immediately. Thinking of this, Chu Xiaoqi held back and disappeared into the horizon as a streak of rainbow light.

However, Chen Jue rushed out of the ruins and chased after Chu Xiaoqi again.

In terms of speed, Chu Xiaoqi was far inferior to Chen Jue.

When Chen Jue caught up, Chu Xiaoqi used his Divine Ability again to suppress him.

This cycle repeated, and Chu Xiaoqi began to panic.

Although Chen Jue couldn't beat him, he couldn't kill Chen Jue either. His cultivation was about to be exhausted, but Chen Jue remained in his Peak state.

How is that possible!

Is this guy's cultivation endless?

Chu Xiaoqi roared in his heart, and a trace of jealousy welled up.

Aptitude!

He knew that the amount of cultivation depends not only on the Cultivation Technique but also on his Aptitude.

At the same Realm, a Prodigy's cultivation far exceeds that of someone with ordinary Aptitude!

Eventually, when Chu Xiaoqi's cultivation was nearly exhausted, Chen Jue's divine spear pierced through the sky, crossing space, and pierced through Chu Xiaoqi in one strike. Blood sprayed, and Chu Xiaoqi fell downward, crashing into the ocean below and kicking up thousand-foot waves.

Chu Xiaoqi's consciousness blurred. Vaguely, he saw a figure smash through the sea surface and swim toward him.

Damn it…

I'm still too weak…

Chu Xiaoqi sighed. If he couldn't even beat Chen Jue, how could he leap out of the Immortal Realm and view a higher sky?

He thought of his grandfather and Tang Wan.

Unwilling!

Really unwilling!

Even though he was unwilling, Chu Xiaoqi had reached his limit, and his consciousness lapsed into a coma.

…

In the dojo, Han Jue opened his eyes and sighed faintly.

Han Liang opened his eyes and looked at his grandfather curiously.

His grandfather rarely sighed.

He wanted to ask but was afraid of being scolded by his grandfather.

Han Jue asked with a smile, "You have a brother who is training outside. No one is helping him, and he is about to die. Do you think I should intervene?"

Han Liang's eyes widened, and he stood up abruptly, saying, "Of course you should help! Grandfather, take me with you. Whoever dares to bully my brother, I will tear them apart!"

"Heh, you want to go out? That's out of the question."

"Fine, I won't go out, but Grandfather, you must save him. If you don't save him, you definitely won't save me if I get into trouble later."

Han Liang pursed his lips, pretending to be aggrieved.

Han Jue smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid he's better than you?"

Han Liang scratched his head and asked, "So what if he's better than me? Many people in the Hidden Sect are better than me!"

Han Jue realized he was speaking from the heart and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Did this kid's Aptitude get pointed the wrong way?

What happened to the instinct to destroy everything he was born with?
