Orphans.
Beggers.
Homeless children!
In such a group, unless there is no talent at all, once a talent appears, it will definitely be a formidable person! Because the hardships they have experienced are simply too numerous to compare with those of ordinary children.
From the starting point of life, those children from wealthy families, living in luxury, undoubtedly have a much higher starting point than these children.
However, from the perspective of martial arts, these children born from hardship actually have a much higher starting point than those from wealthy families and noble families. At least in terms of temperament, the two cannot be compared.
One is a docile pet raised at home, while the other is a hungry wolf honed in the midst of wind and frost! How can they be compared?
Other shortcomings can be compensated through various means and methods, but the resilience of the spirit forged through hardship is absolutely irreplaceable by anything!
Thinking about this, both of them felt even more eager.
"And then?" Hai Yang Bo asked.
"Then... the mysterious guest that Brother Yan introduced came..." Chu Yang raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Yan seems to be quite afraid of that person... well, maybe it's not fear, but a kind of... indescribable feeling..."
Chu Yang tilted his head, his eyes darting around as if he were trying to find the right words.
"Is it admiration from afar?" Hai Yang Bo asked.
"An infinite sense of awe?" The Snow Fairy said doubtfully.
"It seems to have elements of both, but it's not exactly the same. Anyway, it's something like that..." Chu Yang shook his head in distress: "Actually, in my opinion, that guest is very kind-hearted. He played with me and my little friends for two whole days without any airs, and then he said, what a pity... and then he took out a piece of white jade."
"White jade?" Both of them frowned at the same time. Clearly, the key to the matter lay in this piece of white jade.
"Yeah. It was a piece of pure white jade that naturally emitted a holy light, and then that old man said... sigh, between heaven and earth, there is only this piece left. Since you are fated to have it, I'll just let you little ones have it..." Chu Yang spoke as if it were a serious matter.
He even mimicked the tone of an elder while saying these words.
At this point, Hai Yang Bo and the Snow Fairy were holding their breath.
Clearly, the "facts" that Chu Yang was recounting had exceeded their expectations. It was even beyond their comprehension!
"Then that old man asked me to bring over a big vat, and then he reached out, and surprisingly pulled a mass of water from thin air to fill the vat. After that, he threw the jade into it."
Chu Yang said, "Then, something even more incredible happened. That piece of jade, after being thrown in, actually dissolved rapidly in the water... I witnessed that jade gradually dissolve drop by drop, and that feeling was like the starry universe disintegrating before my eyes, gradually turning into nothingness. The situation may not be precisely as I described, but generally, that's how it was. I really don't know how to express it more clearly..."
Opposite him, Hai Yang Bo and the Snow Fairy both frowned and pondered. What kind of thing could create such a miracle just from a piece of jade? It truly was as incredible as Chu Yang said.
"And then he made each of the children here drink a tea bowl. Fortunately, the vat was large enough to divide among us..." Chu Yang chuckled and proudly said, "But I didn't drink."
"Why didn't you drink?" Both of them asked in unison.
The two had already sensed that the water must be extraordinary. Could it allow so many children to transform their innate talents? Was it something an ordinary item could achieve? However, if it was not an ordinary item, how could the host, Chu Yang, not partake in it?
"The senior said that my talent is already the top tier in heaven and earth, so I don't need to drink this anymore; too much is as bad as not enough..." Chu Yang said proudly: "So I didn't drink."
