Chapter 2: Talent
"Your salamander clone has gained a bit of evolution points through extensive feeding."
"Attribute page generation in progress... Generation complete."
Accompanied by two lines of transparent text appearing, a transparent page frame floated before Chen Chu's eyes, leaving him astonished.
Constitution: 7 (Normal person: 10)
Strength: 7
Agility: 6
Spirit: 10
Talent: Soul Split
Clone: Hexagonal Salamander [A common amphibious creature, adult length 30 cm, combat power 0]
Level: None
Talent: None
Evolution Value: 1/10 [When evolution value is full, evolution can be initiated]
"Attribute page..." Chen Chu slowly exhaled, suppressing the excitement within him.
As a semi-otaku who previously enjoyed reading novels, watching anime, and playing games, Chen Chu naturally accepted this unexpected development.
Moreover, he roughly understood why the hexagonal salamander had become his clone.
It should be related to his talent for soul splitting.
His gaze swept across the various data, and seeing that all his attributes except spirit were significantly lower than those of a normal person, Chen Chu did not feel surprised.
His body was genuinely weak.
Then his gaze fell on the data for the clone below, and the corners of his mouth slightly rose.
An attribute page that only exists in fantasy, a clone that can accumulate evolution through feeding—under such circumstances, he felt he could manage quite well in this life.
"Cough... Calm down, calm down." After the excitement, Chen Chu gradually settled down.
Next, he studied the attribute page for a while longer, but unfortunately, he didn't gain any new insights.
……
At eight in the morning, on the sidewalk, Chen Chu was dressed in a white short-sleeve shirt, black trousers, and leather shoes, walking towards the school against the morning sun.
It must be said that the style of school uniforms in this world was quite nice; after putting on this outfit, Chen Chu appeared more spirited.
At this moment, his brother Chen Hu beside him said enviously, "Brother, you look so handsome in that school uniform."
Due to being weak since childhood, Chen Chu's face had always been pale, appearing clean and fair, and his facial features were delicate, even more attractive than many girls.
Standing at 1.7 meters tall, although not very high, he was slightly slender, but walked upright, exuding an air of elegance, giving off a sickly beautiful boy vibe.
"Not bad, right?" Chen Chu was quite satisfied with this, relieved that after crossing over, he wasn't ugly and short.
In contrast to his brother, Chen Hu seemed more robust; at just thirteen, he was already 1.75 meters tall, with a sturdy build, looking like a little tiger.
Today was not only the start of school for Chen Chu, but also for Chen Hu; one was in middle school, and the other in high school.
Moreover, both schools were in the same direction, with Chen Hu's school being a bit closer, about a twenty-minute walk, while Chen Chu's high school required a half-hour walk, separated by a district.
"Brother, I heard that after starting high school, you can learn real true martial arts, and if your talent is good, the state will focus on cultivating you."
Chen Chu shook his head: "It's not that simple to meet the national cultivation standards."
Chen Hu waved his fist confidently: "Brother, I believe in you; you can definitely do it."
"…Do you think my sickly body will have good cultivation talent?" Compared to Chen Hu's blind trust, Chen Chu had no confidence.
Since the new era began, after enduring over a decade of chaos, countries around the world united to form the current Federation of United Nations, maintaining stability for decades.
The city they were in was called Fog River City, where most residents were Han Chinese, and twelve years of compulsory education was implemented.
By high school, as everyone's bodies developed and took shape, all students began learning the fundamental true martial arts formulated by the federation.
