Listening to their conversation, Xiao Chen was also thinking about what to do.

Now that he's here, he definitely wants to give it a try.

But if it were to be exposed, that would not be what he wanted to see.

Especially now...with the tight little girl around, he felt that he should avoid exposing himself in front of them as much as possible.

Otherwise, Xiao Jinmei will be embarrassed, and he will be embarrassed too.

“Five stars, that’s pretty good.”

Zhou Yan looked at the fifth star on the pillar and said slowly.

"How many stars can you give?"

Hua Youque asked curiously.

"It's probably just five stars."

Zhou Yan replied.

"There are nine stars in total, and the record is eight stars. It seems that it will be difficult to get six stars?"

Chi Feng was also eager to try and wanted to go up and give it a try.

“Yes, it’s difficult.”

Zhou Yan nodded.

"Let's wait and see... Wait a minute, go over and try it."

As he spoke, Xu Ming shook his head and moved his hand away from the pillar.

As he moved his hand away, the fifth star dimmed first, followed by the fourth, the third... and finally, the light on the pillar disappeared.

"Brother Xu is awesome, five stars."

"Yes, the most talented among the talented."

“…”

The people around him were all flattering him.

"Five stars is nothing. It's worse than I thought... It seems I need to work harder in the future."

Xu Ming shook his head. He was still quite disappointed.

He thought that with his talent, he should be able to light up six stars.

"Let me try, too."

Someone else said this and walked forward.

Three.

"well……"

This guy is decadent. With Xu Ming's five stars in front, his three stars are a bit insufficient.

More and more people went up one after another, and most of them were three or four stars, and there were no more five stars.

This made many people re-understand the concept of five stars. It turns out that five stars are difficult...

Before, they all thought that five-star ratings were rare, but it turned out that was not the case at all.

Including Xiao Chen... He didn't think highly of five stars before.

Now, there is a clearer understanding.

"There's a powerful character going up there... He's the prodigy of the Southwest Division, nicknamed 'Sickle'. He's less than 30 years old, but he's already in the middle stage of Hua Jin."

Zhou Yan said this and glanced at Xiao Chen. He is less than 30 years old, right?

"He is the Scythe? I've heard of that too."

Hua Youque's eyes flashed.

"He was a ruthless character. He used a sickle to kill nineteen enemies, five of whom were strong men of the same realm. In the end, he was seriously injured and dying. He lay on the barren mountain for three days and three nights, then came back to life and returned to the branch on his own."

"oh?"

Xiao Chen looked at the 'Sickle'. He was tall and thin, with a scar on the left side of his face, and his exposed arms were also covered with scars.

Just from the scars on his body, it is clear that he is not a flower in a greenhouse, but a strong man who has walked out of a life-and-death battle.

Only such a strong man can fight against many enemies alone and kill several strong men of the same level in a row.

"Yeah, he's a tough guy. It's hard to imagine. I have a friend who works in the Southwest Branch. He said that when he returned to the branch, everyone thought he was dead, but he still survived."

Zhou Yan spoke with a hint of admiration.

"He must be extremely talented."

“It doesn’t necessarily mean you are gifted.”

Xiao Chen looked at the sickle and shook his head.

"Talent determines a person's strength to a large extent, but it does not represent everything... He survived, not because of his talent."

"oh?"

Zhou Yan glanced at Xiao Chen.

"Brother Bai, what you mean is that people with very low talent can also become innate strongmen? There has always been a saying in the ancient martial arts world that talent limits a person's growth height."

"That's true, but there are exceptions."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"There is such a pillar in the secret realm. It is probably not to make us give up our efforts after knowing our talents... but to make us work harder after knowing our talents! Even if we have one star, our future achievements will not necessarily be worse than those of seven stars!"

“…”

Zhou Yan seemed to be thinking about something.

"How is that possible? Everyone knows that success is 90% talent and 10% hard work..."

Xiaojin girl disagreed.

"For example, one day of my practice is equivalent to three days of practice for others. This is the power of talent."

"Haha, you are beautiful, and everything you say is right."

Xiao Chen looked at the little girl and said with a smile.

“…”

Everyone was speechless.

"Look, it's lit."

Someone shouted.

Everyone looked over and saw that the bottom of the pillar lit up first, then the first star lit up, then the second star lit up...

"Scythe, he should at least get five stars, right?"

"Maybe it'll be six stars."

Even Xu Ming was staring at the pillar, he knew about the sickle.

In his opinion, Scythe's talent is only stronger than his.

"The third star...why isn't it lit yet?"

"have no idea……"

"What's going on?"

Just when everyone was expecting five or six stars to light up, the third star never lit up.

Scythe looked up at the third star on the pillar and was silent for a long time.

The scene... also became quiet.

No one knows what is going on.

It’s okay for those who don’t know the sickle, but those who know him feel that something is wrong.

He is a sickle.

"Who is this, Two Star?"

"Impossible, he is a strong man in the Southwest Branch... at least five or six stars."

"How do you explain it now?"

"Maybe he's keeping a low profile and doesn't want to be noticed?"

“…”

After the silence, the scene became even noisier.

"hehe……"

After a brief silence, Scythe withdrew his gaze, smiled freely, let go of his hand, turned around and walked away.

His talent can only shine with two stars!

He knew very well that he was not very talented, and everything he had now was what he had fought for with his life.

He just wanted to try it, and now he knows the result...it turns out that he is not very talented.

But, so what?

Even if his talent is not high, he will continue to work hard, continue to become stronger, and suppress those extremely talented geniuses!

"What?"

"Why did he leave?"

"He wouldn't be so low-key as to light up two stars on purpose?"

"This thing seems to be uncontrollable. It manifests itself as talent does... It's not strength, so I can still hold it back a bit."

"So he... has no talent?"

"Two stars doesn't mean you have no talent, right?"

"No, how is this possible..."

Xu Ming was also surprised. Is the sickle’s talent so low?

Although two stars is already beyond most ordinary people, those who can come in today basically have good talents.

Especially those from the Eight Heavenly Dragons, who are selected into the list of Dragon Lords, are all excellent.

There may be a few mediocre people among the children of Dragon City... but this shouldn't be the case for the Eight Heavenly Dragons who are coming this time!

"He... only has two stars?"

Zhou Yan thought of something and turned to look at Xiao Chen.

“Isn’t it just two stars that light up?”

In fact, Xiao Chen was also a little surprised, but he didn't show it.

"You know him?"

Zhou Yan asked again.

“I don’t know him.”

Xiao Chen shook his head.

“I haven’t even heard of it.”

"Then how do you know he is not a gifted person?"

Zhou Yan was curious.

"Haha, there aren't so many talented people in this world."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"Compared to those with extraordinary talents, there are more ordinary people who work hard..."

"Two stars, less than 30 years old, in the middle stage of Huajin... Too scary, right?"

The little girl couldn't believe it.

"Don't tell me he practices twelve hours a day."

"Hehe, maybe twenty hours."

Xiao Chen chuckled.

"Twenty hours?"

The tight girl opened her mouth wide, is she crazy?

This seemed unimaginable to her.

"If you don't have enough talent, you can make up for it with hard work... You practice for two hours, and he practices for twenty hours. The gap will be shortened, and then widened... The first shortening is the gap between his talent and yours, and the second widening is the gap between his strength and yours."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"this……"

The little girl couldn't believe it and was quite shocked.

“Too hard, huh?”

"He had no choice but to fight..."

Xiao Chen shook his head, looked at the sickle, and secretly memorized it.

It would be a waste to put such a "monster" in [Dragon Emperor]. It is more suitable for the young [Longmen].

Wait for an opportunity and see if I can pry it away.

Although the performance of the sickle surprised many people, it soon passed.

Many more people went up to try it, and the most common one, like Xu Ming, was five stars.

"Hey, Qiao Zhen went upstairs."

Suddenly, there was an uproar in the small area.

"Who is he?"

Xiao Chen asked curiously.

"Qiao Zhen, from Longcheng..."

Zhou Yan introduced.

"Twenty-five years old this year, at the peak of the early stage of Hua Jin... the youngster that Elder Qiao is most optimistic about."

“It seems to be good.”

Xiao Chen looked at Qiao Zhen and said something subconsciously.

"???"

Zhou Yan turned his head. Not bad?

But thinking that Xiao Chen was less than 30 years old and at the same level as him, he didn't say anything.

Swish.

The pillar lit up, followed by the first star, the second star, and so on until it reached five stars.

“Can the sixth star light up?”

"It shouldn't be a big problem."

"If it can light up, he will be the first person to light up six stars."

Everyone looked at Qiao Zhen and Zhuzi, some excited and some expectant.

As they were talking, the sixth star lit up.

"It's lit up, it's lit up..."

"Six stars, worthy of being Qiao Zhen!"

"Amazing, what a talent!"

“…”

There were constant discussions and praises.

"hehe."

Qiao Zhen looked at the six lit stars and smiled.

He loosened his hand and walked down slowly.

"Qiao Zhen, congratulations, you have a six-star talent."

Xu Ming looked at Qiao Zhen and said.

"Brother Xu, my grandfather once said that talent is not everything..."

Qiao Zhen was very humble and didn't light up six stars.

Afterwards, another dozen people went up, and one of them lit up six stars.

Six stars are lit, and everyone has new expectations. I wonder if they can see seven stars?

There are so many people this time, there should be seven stars!

"Let's go, let's try it too."

Zhou Yan greeted.

"Yeah, I'm going to try it too."

The little tight girl is excited.

"Go and try it?"

Hua Youque looked at Xiao Chen. He was also curious about Xiao Chen's talent.

"Haha, okay."

Xiao Chen smiled and nodded. At worst, he could just run away after the try and come out with a different face.

It's just a pity. We just formed a team and just got to know three girls... Especially among them, there is a little bootlicker, no, a little fangirl.
