270: Shengtianfu

Tang Ping was all too familiar with this person; wasn't this Old Brother Niu? It was just that Old Brother Niu now, compared to the Old Brother Niu from a hundred years ago in his memory, had undergone significant changes.

However, he still looked like an ordinary person. Tang Ping was certain that Old Brother Niu was definitely level seven, and perhaps his Talent was no longer as simple as A-Rank Talent. It might even be S-rank Talent, after all, the current Xingyao Safe Zone was no longer what it used to be.

It was not difficult for Star Glory to acquire some supreme treasures nowadays.

But Old Brother Niu gave off the impression of a kind and approachable ordinary uncle.

There was absolutely no aura or pressure of a powerful person about him.

From the doctor, Tang Ping could still sense a faint aura of a powerful person.

But this Old Brother Niu looked completely like an ordinary person.

Although he recognized him, Tang Ping naturally couldn't truly acknowledge him. He didn't want to expose his identity to anyone. Once his identity was exposed, he would be one step closer to revealing that he wasn't from this timeline.

If others knew that he had the ability to change history and twist time and space, what would his fate be?

Who would hand over their destiny to be controlled by others? If the other party returned to the past, wouldn't he easily disappear?

So, once the secret was exposed, the outcome was predictable.

For now, Tang Ping just wanted to quietly be a genius.

"You are...?" Tang Ping's eyes showed confusion.

Niu Bading, with his hands in his pockets, said, "Kid, I'm just a legend. Don't be obsessed with me. The past glory is already like smoke and clouds, and the legends of yesteryear are a page in history. Now, I'm just a librarian at Seventh Middle School."

Chu Xinran: "..."

Tang Ping: "..."

That afternoon, Tang Ping returned to school, still to class nine of the first year.

However, by the time he returned, it was already evening self-study. In the enormous classroom, desks and chairs were pushed to the corners, and meditation cushions were placed in the middle. All the students were diligently meditating and cultivating.

Tang Ping's return broke the silence, and many students woke up and looked at him.

Those who hadn't intended to end their meditation also opened their eyes after hearing his name.

"It's him, Tang Ping is back!"

"He's Tang Ping? The one who always sat in the corner? My goodness, he actually awakened an S-rank Talent!"

"It's incredible, he actually awakened a Dual Talent, and it's S-Rank."

"You don't know, do you? Even his original E-rank Talent, Ice Eye, is said to have become an A-Rank Talent."

"I know, it's the Ice Soul Pupil, an A-Rank Talent with both ice and mental attributes."

"His second Talent seems to be S-Rank Extreme Ice."

"Hiss, and it's a Talent of the same attribute. How can he be so lucky? Why didn't it happen to me?" Someone couldn't help but feel jealous.

"Who told him he had good fortune? Look, awakening an E-rank Talent and having it become an A-Rank Talent is one thing, but he actually awakened a second Talent, and that second Talent is S-Rank!"

"He's practically inhuman."

"By the way, this is the only S-Rank Talent User among the first-year new students in our Seventh Middle School."

"What first-year? He's the only S-Rank in the entire Seventh Middle School! One could even say he's the only S-Rank Talent User in nine years. The last student to awaken an S-rank Talent was nine years ago."

"I know, I know! It's Yan Wang Guan Changxiao, the current Deputy Commander of the Eighth Legion of the Star Glory Legion, a level six powerhouse, and one of the seven new stars of the Star Council!"

"So that means Tang Ping will also be able to become such a powerful person in the future!"

"More than that, don't forget, Tang Ping has Dual Talent. Once he receives the supreme treasure reward from the Star Council and upgrades that A-Rank Talent to S-Rank, just think, think carefully."

"Hiss! I dare not imagine, I dare not imagine!"

"Then Tang Ping will probably be a big shot we won't even get to meet in the future."

The surrounding classmates all gathered around, enthusiastically interacting with Tang Ping.

However, there was still one person sitting in his seat, his fists tightly clenched. It was Wen Qingyu, originally the only A-Rank Talent User in class nine.

"S-rank Talent, A-Rank Talent, Dual Talent." His knuckles were tightly clenched. Besides jealousy, Wen Qingyu felt powerless. As an A-Rank Talent User, he knew too well what S-Rank meant. Even the Star Council, that behemoth with fifty million people, one of the world's top Hegemon-level Powers, had fewer than ten people who awakened S-rank Talent in a decade!

As for Dual Talent, only one appeared thirty years ago. He is now a level seven powerhouse, and even a Dual S-Rank Talent User. That person's initial awakened Talent was only B-Rank, and his second Talent was F-Rank. Yet, he was fully cultivated by the Star Council and eventually became a Dual S-rank Talent Heavenly King!

So, what would this Tang Ping be like thirty years from now?

Heavenly King. Wen Qingyu's tightly clenched hands finally relaxed. He and himself were simply not from the same world, just as he hadn't considered Tang Ping to be from his world before.

Facing Tang Ping, who was surrounded like the stars around the moon, he was still a bit unaccustomed. After all, in his eyes, these were all little kids. Although he was only in his twenties a hundred years ago, he was already someone who controlled a major power.

Furthermore, this major power is now even more terrifying than the Star Council, on an even higher level of existence.

Heavenly Mansion, also known as Holy Heaven Mansion.

A world countless people dreamed of.

Beneath the barrier, there was a vast expanse of land stretching for thousands of miles, impenetrable by any Pollution Beast.

The Great Wall led to places where endless fierce beasts served as bricks and tiles, and wherever its might reached, even forbidden zones retreated three steps.

A single Great Wall forcefully split the forbidden zone, Thunder Realm, into two halves!

After the enthusiasm of his classmates, Tang Ping returned to his dormitory at night and reviewed the situation of the forces he was familiar with.

He was very satisfied with the current situation. At least for now, there were no threats to the three major powers: Heavenly Mansion, Star Council, and Qingtian Base. This meant that even if he just followed the established path, reaching this point in his future timeline was basically a foregone conclusion.

However, in this timeline, he had disappeared from Qingtian Base, meaning there were no traces of him for over ninety-nine years. But if he returned now, he would still exist. He was the only variable. With him, these three major powers would only fare better!

The only regrettable thing was that the two timelines no longer influenced each other.

Tang Ping found fragments of the bead from his memory. At this moment, the bead had become unremarkable, simply black. Its original seven-colored luster had disappeared, or perhaps it hadn't disappeared, but Tang Ping was currently unable to perceive it.

"Ten days have passed, and the power of time and space on the bead still hasn't recovered."

Tang Ping closed his notebook. These pre-apocalyptic technological products had long been replicated, even improved. The Hegemon-level Power of the Star Council, with its population of over fifty million, had already surpassed pre-apocalyptic technology in various fields.

"Fortunately, even though I'm in this timeline, those Mystical Arts can still be cultivated. It's not difficult to re-master them. It's just a pity that Flowing Flame Palm, Wings of Flame, as well as Azure Realm and Child of Nature, are impossible."

Tang Ping felt a bit regretful. The first two had conflicting attributes. Azure Realm required terrifyingly vast resources, and Child of Nature was extremely dependent on natural spirits, making its successful cultivation extremely difficult.

Currently, the only ones he could re-cultivate were Green Lotus Birth and Mystic Light of Flora.

Without the help of mystic items, he could only re-condense the Mystical Art Origin Seal within his soul.

Closing his eyes, the first one Tang Ping chose was Mystic Light of Flora.
