584 The First Generation Esper (2/2)
Such ability...
This old man in front of him must have been a true world esper!
However, Su Hao still had some doubts.
The chaotic era passed more than 20 years ago. No matter how great a genius someone is, can he really reach the world realm in such a short time period?
”Are you very confused?” The old man asked as he looked at Su Hao.
”Yes!” Su Hao frankly voiced out his doubts.
The old man just smiled.
”You don't understand because you're from a different era.” The old man continued his explanation, ”Before this, I wish to ask you first. Where does ability talent come from?”
”From where?” Su Hao locked his eyebrows.
After thinking for a bit, he replied, ”It should be from inheritance right?”
”Not bad.” The old man sang his praise.
”During the chaotic era, everyone experienced changes within their own body. Even if they didn't comprehend an ability talent, the factors would still remain in their body. These factors would then activate once reaching your generation.”
”In order words, your ability talent comes from your parents.”
”But what about the generation before this?”
The old man revealed a look of reminiscing, ”At that time, our ability talent came from Heaven and Earth.”
”Heaven and Earth?” Su Hao was shocked!
How did people integrate with an ability talent during the chaotic era? How did one become so strong in such a short period of time? This is something which he had not been able to comprehend all this time.
After all, only twenty plus years had passed!
However, he never thought that there would be such an answer.
Heaven and Earth?
What does that mean?!
”The beginning of the origin ability era comes from the energy from Heaven. In other words, it refers to the arrival of origin ability as what is mentioned in the textbooks!” The old man said with a hint of nostalgia, ”But not every ability talent comes in the same size. Some are huge, and some are small or even weak.”
”And they were all responsible in changing the human body.”
”After these things came across a human or even an animal, they would automatically blend into the body, changing the attributes. If there is no host to be found, they would land on the ground and change its properties. This is also the reason why this planet is getting stronger and stronger.”
”However, not all the origin ability is beneficial.”
”If you happen to encounter some special origin ability, problems would arise. During the chaotic era, I saw many people explode due to the origin ability. Could you imagine? From the sky, a huge lump smashing on to a human's body, fusing into the host and then exploding!”
Su Hao had some cold sweat.
Direct explosion?
How much origin ability was that!
During that period...
”Fortunately, such origin abilities aren't large in number. Plus, the most amazing fact is if you survive the apocalypse, you will have an ability talent! Plus, the energy within your body will be endless to support your journey. They are the first generation espers!”
Su Hao's heart skipped a beat.
This is a secret he never heard of before.
It was also something he never thought of before. So, this is how the first generation espers were born!
Origin ability from Heaven!
It was a blessing and disaster at the same time!
Speaking of this, the old man laughed as he observed Su Hao, ”Your father, Su Tiancheng is one of them. Even that brat, Su Wan too.”
”What?” Su Hao's body trembled.
Forget about Su Tiancheng, but even Su Wan?
His aunt?
During the chaotic era, how old was she? She is actually one of the first generation espers?
This…
Su Hao didn't know what to say. A little girl, having to experience the horrors of the chaotic era, how did his aunt pass her years?
Perhaps…
Was it because of his father?
Suddenly, Su Hao thought of that scene.
That scene filled with snow, that little girl, himself, and that road...
Unknowingly, Su Hao clenched his fists.
”This is the future of mankind.” The old man sighed for a long time, ”Mankind, berserk beasts, and origin ability; nobody is right or wrong. We're just fighting for ourselves. Whether it is during the first generation or the later one...”
”While living in this world, there will always be certain restraints.”
The voice of the old man suddenly became ethereal, ”These days, there are some young ones who are too impulsive. I have taught them a lesson.”
”Huh?” Su Hao woke up instantly!
Damn this old man!
He actually slipped in such a sentence at this moment.
Su Hao finally understood that he was called here to be informed that this matter should be closed as it is. Doing so would be good for everyone.
And the answer for the first generation esper was to be considered as compensation.
Su Hao thought for a moment and replied, ”Alright.”
”If so, then what kind of profession do you wish to choose?” The old man smiled at Su Hao, ”I can arrange for many people to accept you as their disciple. Your future cultivation will be much smoother.”
”There's no need for that.” Su Hao said in a low tone.
”No need?” The old man's brow wrinkled slightly.
He didn't understand. He was trying to reconcile with Su Hao with this offer. Could it be that Su Hao disagreed?
”I want to be self-taught.” Su Hao laughed and didn't explain any further.
”Self-taught?”
In Zhanzheng College, not many people dared to teach themselves!
