52: Little guy, isn't this clearing yourself from blame?
Everyone had a great time with the afternoon activities, and before they ended, everyone gathered together again, and General Liu personally presented awards and prizes on stage.
Tang Gao was the first to be called up. Standing on the awards podium, he scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
He had already received the best reward, and receiving this one again made him feel a little bit uncomfortable.
General Liu smiled and handed him a bottle of Medicinal Pill: "This is a bottle of specially made internal Heaven Nurturing Pills, used to activate a Cultivator's innate Spell. Of course, if the Spell has already been activated, using this Medicinal Pill again has a chance to enhance the innate Spell or increase your Cultivate potential."
Tang Gao's eyes widened: "Such a good thing?!"
General Liu patted his shoulder, enviously saying: "You should be secretly happy. In the entire Liang City, we can't even get a few of these in a year."
However, a sense of vigilance rose in Tang Gao's heart, and he smiled on the surface: "General Liu, I don't need to reveal my innate Spell for it to be recorded, do I?"
Is this kindness a test?
This guy isn't still suspecting that I'm a Shadow Person user, is he?
If I'm not, it's naturally a good connection.
If I am, after my innate Spell is enhanced, the difficulty of concealing it might increase.
This old fox is truly terrifying; even with good intentions, he makes one feel as if they were almost seen through.
General Liu's eyes subtly changed, his Divine Soul clearly sensing Tang Gao's vigilance and the faint changes in the surrounding Qi field. He couldn't help but secretly click his tongue and quietly curse him as a little fox: "Innate Spells vary from person to person. Even close relatives have no right to know about this; it's all up to you."
How did this kid develop such an airtight habit?
Fortunately, this kid is still young, and his actions are not yet perfect. If he were to become a powerful being in the future, that would be something else entirely.
Tang Gao chuckled, cupping his hands in a salute: "Thank you, General Liu. I haven't Awakened my innate Spell yet. This Medicinal Pill is truly my immortal cultivation antidote!"
Silence fell over the awards podium.
Great doubt filled General Liu's large eyes: "Ah? How can you not have an innate Spell?"
No, you're so strong, how could you not have the enhancement of an innate Spell?
You're lying, aren't you?
Teacher Tian Qiang, not far away, also looked confused: "Impossible, how could you not have an innate Spell?"
It is well known that a Cultivator without an innate Spell is not necessarily weak.
But a Cultivator with an innate Spell is generally very strong.
Therefore, there is a high probability that an excellent Genius has an innate Spell.
Among Geniuses, those without innate Spells are actually a minority.
The principal was also stunned, and couldn't help but ask: "Really not?"
If you don't have an innate Spell, how did you Cultivate to this point?
Is it that you don't know you have an innate Spell?
Tang Gao glanced at his personal panel, confirmed that the 'Attributes' column only listed Justice Qi, and the Shadow attribute was overwritten. He then confidently extended his hand with a hearty smile: "It's true, I don't. If you don't believe me, General, take a look."
General Liu's expression became surprised: "I do have a detection Spell, but it requires your personal consent."
This kid was so wary of innate Spells just now; the Shadow Person incident is probably related to him.
Although there's no solid evidence, many clues point in that direction, with only the final confirmation step remaining.
Could it be that this kid wants me to vouch for him at the awards ceremony?
General Liu couldn't help but feel smug. Little fox, you still can't beat me, can you!
Hahahaha, the older the ginger, the spicier it is!
General Liu maintained his composure perfectly on the surface, his expression a perfectly balanced mix of shock and surprise. He reached out and grabbed Tang Gao's wrist: "Do you need me to appraise it for you?"
Tang Gao's peripheral vision confirmed his personal panel once more, and he smiled brightly: "Then I'll trouble you, General."
It would be a ghost if you could detect it.
General Liu immediately activated his Spell, not minding using his reputation to vouch for this young fellow, and then mocking him thoroughly in private.
A hint of smugness involuntarily appeared at the corner of General Liu's mouth, and his gaze towards Tang Gao carried a slight smile, his face revealing an expression that finally, he had the upper hand.
Tang Gao's smile was bright and gentle, his eyes unconsciously carrying the meaning of looking at an idiot, as he stared at General Liu, with an expression that seemed to say, "I laugh at the General's lack of wisdom, how can he be so devoid of strategy?"
General Liu's expression began to change slightly. His magical power circulated through Tang Gao's body but found absolutely nothing.
General Liu's expression on his face became difficult to maintain, his pupils started to tremble, and he couldn't help but want to curse: "Damn it!"
He really doesn't have an innate Spell!
Could it be that this kid's Cultivate talent and cultivation were truly nurtured by a powerful being using Heaven And Earth Treasure?!
But the Justice Battle Qi in his body is extremely pure!
Impossible!
Even if my deduction isn't 100% correct, it's at least close!
How could this kid have no connection to the Shadow Person?!
General Liu carefully reconsidered everything, and his face couldn't help but turn green. Could this kid be intentionally playing with him?
Damn it!
This kid looks like a good person, but if you cut him open, he's definitely black!
General Liu's mouth twitched, and he released Tang Gao's wrist: "Little Gao indeed does not have an innate Spell."
Unrelated to the Shadow Person, eliminated.
Unrelated to the Violent Justice envoy, eliminated.
Then there's only one possibility left: he has the backing of a powerful being.
After all, this kid doesn't even have an innate Spell, and the idea of him having a daily vivid dream is just a guess.
Thinking of this, General Liu couldn't help but click his teeth. He now felt that this kid's Heart-Nature was actually quite malicious, and he enjoyed playing tricks on others: "However, your talent is very strong, and your mind is [extremely flexible]. In the process of Cultivate, remember to Cultivate yourself and [Cultivate virtue], and develop a [good Heart-Nature]. Only then can your immortal path be smooth."
General Liu, unable to stand it, indirectly cursed Tang Gao for being inhumane, daring to play tricks on him, and said that if you cut him open, he would definitely be utterly black!
Tang Gao's smile was exceptionally bright, and he genuinely thanked him: "Thank you for your advice, General Liu!"
Little trick, isn't this cleared up?
General Liu sighed helplessly and patted his shoulder: "Very good, very good."
You kid are definitely related to the Three-Leaf Clover Group case, but you managed to hide yourself so well, you did an excellent job.
There must be the influence of a powerful being, but for a First Order Cultivator to be able to play such a crucial role in the Three-Leaf Clover Group without my knowledge, he truly is an unparalleled Genius.
Even someone like me, who has so many advantages, can't find any fault with you.
With the capabilities of those idiots in the Three-Leaf Clover Group branch, they probably couldn't even see your tail.
General Liu didn't know what role Tang Gao played or what he did, but he could vaguely guess that Tang Gao was likely involved in the key points of this matter.
If the Three-Leaf Clover Group incident is treated as a puzzle, filling in the known information would allow one to guess the general scope of the unknown parts.
After all, during the period of Tang Gao's abnormal rise, the Three-Leaf Clover Group's Luck and resources plummeted wildly.
People cannot rise without reason; they must absorb a large amount of resources behind the scenes.
Tang Gao is definitely related to the Three-Leaf Clover Group case, but it's unknown what role he played or what he did.
General Liu smiled contentedly again and patted Tang Gao's shoulder once more: "I look forward to the day you become a powerful being."
Whether it's the Shadow System or the Zhanqi System.
I recognize you, Tang Gao, not your attributes, not your talent.
It's the Tang Gao who dares to fight and venture forth.
Tang Gao suddenly felt a tiny bit of shame. In terms of broad-mindedness, Uncle Liu's was better. To deceive him like this... it felt truly amazing!
I just love this feeling where you probably know I'm involved in the case, but you can't catch me!
Tang Gao smiled brightly: "Okay, okay, General, are there any more rewards?"
General Liu suddenly showed a sly smile: "I, the Liang City Commander, General Liu, in the name of a Sixth Order Command-type Battle Cultivator, bestow upon First Order Cultivator Tang Gao the title, [Hidden Fox General]!"
Hidden Fox, a mid-to-high ranking fox among the Yao Race, possesses extremely strong concealment abilities; even those one or two ranks higher cannot detect them.
And even if they are detected, they might not be able to be trapped.
And even if they are caught, they might not be defeatable.
The difficulty is ridiculously high.
They are listed as extremely dangerous Yao Race due to their extreme cunning and powerful assassination abilities.
The smile on Tang Gao's face suddenly froze.
How is this different from disgusting me?
Interpreted with the previous words, isn't this openly cursing me for being immoral and shameless, for being insidious and malicious in my actions?
Do you think I'll like this title?
General Liu patted his shoulder earnestly: "Young man, you are still too young. This world, in the end, speaks with fists."
Young man, solving cases requires evidence.
But counter-terrorism only requires a name and a photo.
Never forget that this is a dangerous world. Before you become stronger, you must learn to disguise yourself more carefully.
Tang Gao forced a smile: "The waves behind push the waves ahead; don't let me drown you, the wave ahead."
One day, I will also give you an unpleasant title!
You dog!
General Liu burst out laughing: "Very good, I admire your indomitable spirit!"
Liangpi, is it so reviled by people?
Then I won't write it...
