Xiao Yunjie's Guess, Chen Ran's Talent

Chen Mintao watched as Chen Ran and Yan Poyue walked toward the dining hall. He smiled and said to Li Xiang, "Interesting, these two recruits." 

"A good show." Li Xiang nodded. 

"These two people are too good at fighting. It's good to be young, but we've picked up a treasure. It's two pieces of good steel, right?" Chen Mintao said.

"It's still too early to say that they're good steel. Their foundation is indeed not bad, but they haven't taken shape yet. They still need to be polished."

"That's true. Only by tempering it thousands of times can it produce good steel. Only by removing the impurities inside can it truly grow."

"Whether they can become a good piece of high-quality steel depends on whether they can withstand the tempering and hammering. Geniuses and lunatics are often just a step away. If they take the right path, they will become talents. If they take the wrong path, they will only be a piece of scrap metal.

"They're still young. They're at the age where they're arrogant and don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. If they don't polish themselves well, they'll suffer greatly in the future.

"I'll get Zhang Tianyang to take good care of them later and add more temperance to them."

"Aren't you worried that they will fight if you put these two together?" Chen Mintao asked in surprise.

"Don't worry, they won't fight. These two people are unwilling to admit defeat. It's a good thing to compete with each other. They can also help each other. It saves me the trouble of setting questions for them." Li Xiang snorted. 

"You're still the best, Old Li." Chen Mintao grinned and said in admiration. 

"Alright, let's go." With that, Li Xiang walked towards the office. 

Chen Ran and Yan Poyue walked into the cafeteria almost shoulder to shoulder at the same time. The two of them did not want to fall behind each other even if they were walking. 

Xiao Yunjie, who was eating heartily in the dining hall, suddenly saw the two of them walk in side by side. His eyes widened in shock, and he almost stuffed the food into his nose. 

"D*mn, am I seeing things? These two came to the dining hall side by side? It turns out that these two even developed feelings for each other after running for a while?" 

"This doesn't seem like Poyue's style!" 

Xiao Yunjie waved at them and shouted, "Poyue, what's wrong with the two of you? Why are you walking side by side?" 

Yan Poyue did not pay any attention to Xiao Yunjie. Instead, he looked at Chen Ran from the corner of his eyes. His eyes were cold, and they were emitting a strong fighting spirit. 

Chen Ran grinned at Xiao Yunjie but did not say anything. He took the cutlery and walked to the window, preparing to get some food. 

After Chen Ran left, Xiao Yunjie said to Yan Poyue, "The gap, this is the gap. Let me tell you, Poyue, the most brilliant hunter often appears in the form of prey. At the beginning, he will hide his light and show weakness to trick the enemy. Once the enemy relaxes, he will attack and kill them with one strike. There is no room for failure." 

"You must be a good hunter, but you're not as smart as that guy. That guy often appears in the form of prey. He looks weak. Who would have thought that he would be covered in muscles after taking off his clothes? This guy is too wily. He can run people to death." 

"What hunter and prey? I only know how to speak with my strength." Yan Poyue did not want to waste his breath on Xiao Yunjie, but he had to admit that Xiao Yunjie was right. Chen Ran was really special. On the surface, he looked fair, thin, and weak, but he did not expect his entire body to be filled with firm and rippling muscles. It was really unbelievable. 

"Sigh, why can't I explain it to you? Forget it. Hurry up and eat. I'll help you," Xiao Yunjie said as he pointed to the seat beside him. 

At this moment, Chen Ran looked around the dining hall after getting his food. He found a seat that was a distance away from Yan Poyue and Xiao Yunjie and sat down to eat. 

"I've expended too much energy today. I have to replenish my energy quickly." Chen Ran ate heartily. 

Xiao Yunjie looked at Chen Ran in the distance, who was eating seriously with a calm expression. Then, he looked at Yan Poyue, who was sitting next to him, and said with a cold face, "I say, Poyue, I still feel that your expression is not right. You have to relax a little. You have to be a brilliant hunter. Don't always be full of killing intent." 

"Why are you so long-winded today? Are you still eating?" 

"Eat. Sigh, watch me. Watch how I kill him." After saying that, Xiao Yunjie stood up and walked towards Chen Ran with his plate.

Xiao Yunjie came to Chen Ran's side and sat down unceremoniously. He smiled and said, "Hey, brother, my name is Xiao Yunjie. Your name is Chen Ran, right?" 

Chen Ran buried his head in his food and ignored him.

"We're really fated. We've fought since the registration. When the recruits came, we met again. This can be considered as getting to know each other after fighting." 

"Let bygones be bygones. From now on, we'll be comrades-in-arms. Please take care of me!" Xiao Yunjie said non-stop as if they were close friends.

Chen Ran had a good impression of Xiao Yunjie. Compared to the arrogant and unsociable Yan Poyue, Xiao Yunjie's personality was not bad. He was the kind of person who was familiar with others. He knew how to be flexible and was very loyal. He was quite hardworking and his ability was not bad. Other than being a little mean at times and easy to beat up, he did not have any other shortcomings. 

Xiao Yunjie saw a smile on Chen Ran's face and immediately perked up. He leaned closer and asked, "Brother, let me ask you something."

"Your body is really invincible. Can you tell me how you trained your muscles?" 

"I'll be honest. Before you took off your clothes, your figure looked like it was cut into pieces. Who would have thought that the muscles under your clothes would be so strong? I thought you were cheating." 

Chen Ran said indifferently, "I didn't practice much. It's mainly because of my talent." 

When Xiao Yunjie heard this, his mouth twitched and he almost rolled his eyes.

How could this kid be so good at pretending? He did not practice much? He even relied on his talent? 

This braggart did not even prepare a draft. No matter how talented he was, he still had to rely on hard work, right? Otherwise, no matter how impressive his talent was, it would be useless. 

Some prodigies were like this. When they were young, they were praised for being amazing. In the end, if they were not nurtured well the day after tomorrow, they would only become mediocre when they grew up.

"Brother, I'm really here to humbly ask for guidance. Don't lie to me. Who would believe that you can cultivate to this extent without much cultivation?" 

"Why would I lie to you?" 

"Alright, if you say that talent is talent, then tell me again. What kind of talent do you have that can make you grow muscles without training? Don't tell me it's a bragging talent." 

Chen Ran looked up at him and said in all seriousness, "Me? I have combat talent and life skills talent. These two are enough. I don't need the bragging talent you mentioned at all."
