In the Age of Gods and Demons, I evolved into the final boss.

Chapter 57 Hidden Dragon in the Abyss

The atmosphere inside the car was slightly silent. After a long while, Su Wan thoughtfully loosened the strands of hair that were wrapped around her fingers.

"It seems that Chen Zheng has a high comprehension talent, but the two major realms in the early stage of martial arts are body refinement, so his cultivation is slow."

"Unfortunately, their comprehension and talent will only gradually emerge after they enter the Gang Realm; the Fiend Qi Realm is 'their' domain."

"The fact that he had two consecutive moments of enlightenment was already a stroke of luck for him. At the speed of a fourth-level martial artist in his third year of high school, it would have taken him at least ten years to reach the Gang Realm."

"Ten years wasted, how many people can persevere?" Su Wan said with a slight sigh.

Chu Ya disagreed with Su Wan's opinion: "I don't think so. I have a feeling that being number one on the liberal arts list in this trial is just the beginning."

"I think Brother Chen's potential is among the top ten at Jiangzhou University. The only difference between him and Su Wan and you is that he is currently at a lower level."

Although Su Wan acknowledged that Chen Zheng was quite talented, she still raised an eyebrow when she heard Chu Ya compare Chen Zheng to them.

"Ya Ya, aren't you giving him too much credit?"

Chu Ya's lips curled up: "Wanwan, although my martial arts talent is a bit inferior to yours, I've always had a good eye for people. Don't believe me? What should we bet?"

"No betting. I've never won a bet with you since I was a child." Su Wan refused decisively, but her eyes immediately lit up with a sly glint.

"So, how does this Chen Zheng compare to your Chen Ye?"

"Of course Chen Ye is better."

Chu Ya said without hesitation: "In my heart, Chen Ye has boundless potential and his talent is beyond everyone's imagination. He has only just revealed a part of it now."

"Eek~"

Su Wan shrank back, a look of disgust on her face: "Go away, I don't want to eat your dog food."

Chu Ya turned to look at her and blinked: "Are you envious? If you are, go find one. From what I've observed these past few days, Brother Chen is pretty good."

"He has good character and knows how to behave properly. Most importantly, he hasn't shown his strength yet. With your beauty, Miss Su, you should be able to win him over easily if you take the initiative."

"But if we wait a while longer, and he starts to stand out, there will be more competitors, and even you, Su Wan, might not be able to win him over."

"Tch, you think I'd take the initiative to pursue you? I'm not even qualified." Su Wan raised her head, her face showing disdain.

"Speaking of Qian Jin, I heard rumors a while ago that someone in your family wants to set you up?" Chu Ya's eyes sparkled with gossip.

"...Yes, there is."

Su Wan nodded in agreement: "My uncle has a good relationship with the Qian family, and Qian Jin is the top freshman at Jiangzhou University, so he wants to bring them together."

"But Qian Jin is an arrogant and flamboyant person, which I don't like, so I went straight to the capital during winter break."

Chu Ya tapped the steering wheel with her fingers: "The Qian family in Jiangzhou is very wealthy, and your Su family has many martial arts experts. It's normal for someone to want to form a powerful alliance."

"I have an idea."

Chu Ya suddenly whispered, "Su Wan, you can pretend to be interested in Chen Zheng, show up in his class, and spread rumors that you like him as a shield."

"This won't actually harm you. Now that your uncle sees you have someone you 'like,' he won't try to match you up with Qianjin anymore."

"Disaster."

Su Wan shook her head: "Chen Zheng looks too ordinary now. My uncle and the others won't believe that I would be interested in such an 'ordinary' boy."

"Okay, you're right, nobody's a fool."

A liberal arts student majoring in runes, only reaching the ninth level of martial arts at the age of 19, was indeed too ordinary in the eyes of the Su family, a martial arts family in Jiangzhou.

…………

"Mom, we're back."

When the Chen brothers opened the door, they saw Lin Ruohua busy in the kitchen. It was not yet nine o'clock, and the counter was already full of prepared ingredients.

"You're back, Chen Ye. Come here, let me see you."

"Yeah, you haven't lost weight, you've actually gotten a bit stronger."

"Chen Zheng, you also look very energetic, that's good."

Looking at the two tall and strong brothers in front of her, one masculine and handsome, the other dashing and upright, Lin Ruohua couldn't help but smile happily.

"Alright, you two go have some fun."

"Mom, I'll help you."

"Go away, don't cause me any trouble." Lin Ruohua chased the two brothers out of the kitchen. She had taken a day off today because she heard that Chen Zheng and the others were coming back.

Chen Zheng, who had been ushered into the living room, greeted Chen Ye: "Chen Ye, I have something to take care of. Call me when it's time to eat."

"it is good."

Chen Zheng did have something to do; he hadn't yet written the rune inscription notes he promised to give to his classmates.

Back in his room, Chen Zheng picked up a pen, pondered for a moment, and began to recall the feeling of inscribing runes when he activated the Myriad Spirits Plunder, and slowly began to write.

He wrote for more than two hours, mainly about the runes he had already inscribed and mastered.

The points to note when engraving each rune, the areas prone to failure, and the strength of the infused energy are all clearly written out.

Having made a promise, Chen Zheng wouldn't be perfunctory.

Buzz! Just as he finished his work, Chen Zheng's personal terminal vibrated slightly; it was Jiang Mo calling.

"What is it, Jiang Mo?"

"Have you returned to Jiangzhou, Chen Zheng?"

"I'm back, I'm at home now."

"Do you have time this afternoon? It's rare for the students in Class 9 of the Trial to be so united. Li Tang is planning to organize a leisure activity for everyone to have some fun."

"The time is 2 PM, the location is Xingkong Entertainment Bar on Huaishan Road, it's Dutch treat, and there are currently more than 20 students who have time to participate."

"This afternoon? I have time." Chen Zheng thought for a moment and prepared to go and take a look.

He couldn't challenge the Newcomer Ranking after upgrading in the Void Realm, and Sokos and the others sent out from the Abyss hadn't returned yet. He happened to have nothing to do in the afternoon.

"Okay, I'll talk to Li Tang." Jiang Mo hung up the phone.

"Brother, dinner's ready." Chen Ye's voice came from outside.

In the afternoon, after Chu Ya asked Chen Ye to go out, Chen Zheng also took an unmanned bus to the event location.

Starry Sky Entertainment Bar is a large entertainment hall that integrates game areas, internet access areas, food and drinks, and leisure and entertainment. It is affordable and very popular among young people.

When Chen Zheng went inside, many of his classmates had already arrived.

Li Tang waved to him: "Chen Zheng, you're here. Jiang Mo and the others are racing over there. If you want to play games and form a team, just ask in the activity group."

"it is good."

"Xu, Zhou." Chen Zheng greeted Zhou Zhi and Xu Hui, who were standing next to Li Tang, and then looked around and noticed that Bai Su was not there.

"Where's Bai?"

"She doesn't have time; she said she needs to find time to replicate a few rune stones."

Chen Zheng nodded: "I'll go check on Jiang Mo."

In the gaming area, Jiang Mo sat in front of an online game console, rapidly pressing buttons.

On the holographic projection screen, a nitrogen-powered motorcycle is speeding at 300 km/h, ranking third, while the other two students are faster.

Chen Zheng shouted, "Jiang Mo, you're too slow! Speed ​​up and overtake them!"

"Turn ahead, continue accelerating and drifting."

Bang! Just as Chen Zheng finished speaking, Jiang Mo's motorcycle, which had accelerated to over 400 kilometers per hour, veered off course and overturned, crashing into the mountainside and turning into a pile of parts.

"Chen Zheng, stop causing trouble, okay?" Jiang Mo said speechlessly.

Chen Zheng smiled, then stopped disturbing them while they were playing games. He wandered around and found that most of the twenty-odd classmates were in the game area.

Li Tang and a few girls were playing a projection drama when Chen Zheng passed by and asked him to join them, but he refused.

Chen Zheng, who wasn't interested in games, ended up at the bar area, grabbed an iced drink, and found a seat by the window.

The March sun wasn't very hot. Cars came and went on the streets outside, and occasionally a huge figure would flash by above the clouds, stirring up a gust of wind—that was a mount tamed by a martial arts master.

"Chen Zheng, are you here all alone?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zheng turned around and saw Xu Hui and Zhou Zhi walking over.

Xu Hui, who was walking in front, was wearing a white long shirt and tight jeans. Her short hair was parted to the side and she was holding a glass of juice.

Behind her stood Zhou Zhi, who had delicate features and looked refined with her glasses.

Compared to the delicate Zhou Zhi, Xu Hui was beautiful, with fair skin and a voluptuous figure at 1.7 meters tall, exuding allure with every step she took.

There were just too many beautiful girls in Class 9, such as the class monitor Li Tang with her amazing figure and Bai Su with her stunning looks, which made her stand out less.

"You don't mind if we sit here, do you?"

Chen Zheng smiled slightly: "Sit wherever you like, we're all classmates, no need to be so polite."

Two girls sat down opposite Chen Zheng.

Xu Hui placed the drink on the table, rested her chin on her hands, leaned forward, and her full breasts pressed against the table, slightly deforming.

Xu Hui had big, bright eyes as she looked at Chen Zheng and asked curiously, "Chen Zheng, is it convenient to ask you a question?"

"What's the problem?" Because of the angle, Chen Zheng subconsciously glanced down. He couldn't help it; Xu Hui's pose was too alluring.

To cover it up, Chen Zheng picked up his drink and took a sip.

Seemingly oblivious to Chen Zheng's unusual behavior, Xu Hui asked curiously, "What did it feel like when you had that sudden enlightenment while inscribing the runes?"

"Feel……"

Chen Zheng thought for a moment: "To put it in detail, my thinking speed has increased several thousand times. I can understand anything at a glance and comprehend anything instantly."

Since describing the feeling of sudden enlightenment was too vague, Chen Zheng described the feeling of absorbing fragments of soul crystals.

Anyway, Xu Hui and the others never had an epiphany, so they don't know if it's true or not.

"That's incredible! You even had two epiphanies! You're amazing!" Xu Hui's rosy lips parted slightly, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at Chen Zheng.

"Cough! I'm alright." Chen Zheng, who was just trying to fool them, felt a little embarrassed by being stared at so intently by such a beautiful woman.

The rest of the time passed as the three chatted, with Xu Hui initiating most of the conversations and Zhou Zhi covering her mouth and giggling when something interesting came up.

Clearly, it wasn't just Chu Ya; other students in the class had already noticed Chen Zheng's potential.
