Jiang Chen just felt the other person was joking after hearing that. He had only been in this world for three years; he didn't even exist hundreds of years ago.
However, this was a world of demons, so perhaps there were time-space tunnels.
Thinking this, Jiang Chen asked:
"Senior Song, are you serious?"
"Does a joke count as serious?"
As he spoke, Song Aotian winked playfully, chuckling.
Jiang Chen hadn't expected that Song Aotian, the founder of this school, would have a childlike side.
This was different from his legendary image.
Song Aotian seemed to know what Jiang Chen was thinking and said, "It's too tiring to always act serious. I actually don't like it."
"But that's how strong people are."
"Standing still, unmoving, with a deep expression."
"Acting like a master."
"Actually, in that state, you can't laugh when you want to, can't speak when you want to, can't play when you want to. It's exhausting! I'm so old, can't I just be myself!"
"Then when can you stop following me?"
Jiang Chen felt uneasy with a ghost constantly by his side and asked.
"Only by staying by your side can I maintain my spiritual form. Otherwise, I would have already disappeared. I just recently woke up and want to have some fun for a while longer."
Jiang Chen didn't reply and directly entered his inner world to see Omniscience.
"Omniscience, can you make this ghost disappear!"
It was under Omniscience's guidance that Jiang Chen had successfully awakened Song Aotian's soul, which had been dormant for hundreds of years.
He had done all this for the super S-Class demon.
Now that the S-Class demon was eliminated, why was Song Aotian still following him?
Omniscience hadn't mentioned this.
"He will leave on his own when he wants to."
Omniscience had a way to forcibly send Song Aotian into the spirit world, but Jiang Chen's current strength was far from enough.
Hearing Omniscience say this, Jiang Chen could only temporarily agree to let Song Aotian follow him.
On the way, Jiang Chen walked very fast.
He used Flash Step, his speed dozens of times faster than usual.
This was a skill that allowed Jiang Chen to move great distances instantly.
Song Aotian was very curious.
After all, if Jiang Chen had possessed such a Supernatural Ability earlier, he wouldn't have struggled so much against the Black Mountain Old Demon.
So, he asked, "Little Jiang Chen, did you just awaken this Supernatural Ability?"
"Yes!"
Jiang Chen didn't hide anything about this.
After all, most people had two or three Supernatural Abilities.
His extraordinary talent meant having more Supernatural Abilities wasn't strange.
Song Aotian became even more curious.
Generally speaking, the chances of awakening Supernatural Abilities decreased with age.
After the age of eighteen, awakening another Supernatural Ability became extremely difficult.
At least, in his era, Song Aotian hadn't encountered such a case.
Now, seeing someone like Jiang Chen, who was already eighteen and could still awaken a Supernatural Ability, was the first time he had witnessed it.
Thinking this, Song Aotian asked, "Little Jiang Chen, at what age did you awaken your Supernatural Ability?"
"Eighteen!"
What!!!
"So, you awakened your Supernatural Ability not long ago, and your strength is already S-Class."
As he spoke, Song Aotian couldn't help but look at Jiang Chen a few more times.
He wondered what kind of monster this person was, to be so strong right after awakening his Supernatural Ability.
"We're here!"
Jiang Chen chose to ignore Song Aotian's scrutiny.
Why argue with a ghost?
As he spoke, Jiang Chen walked straight through the main entrance.
After asking the waiter a few questions, he headed towards the private rooms on the second floor.
"You have plans to eat with someone here?"
"Yeah, Fatty must be starving waiting for me."
As he spoke, Jiang Chen pushed open private room number 007 on the second floor and saw Fatty happily eating.
He immediately felt he had overthought things.
How could someone like Fatty let himself go hungry?
Seeing Jiang Chen enter, Fatty looked a bit embarrassed and wiped his oil-stained hands with the tablecloth.
"Brother Chen, I was really too hungry, so..."
"It's fine, I was the one who was late. If you were hungry, you should eat first. I'm okay!"
As he spoke, Jiang Chen sat down in the seat opposite Fatty.
He prepared to pick up his chopsticks and start eating.
His Soul Power had been significantly depleted, and the energy consumed not only made his body tired but also depleted his physical energy.
Replenishing with food was one way to restore physical energy.
Just as he was about to eat, Fatty stopped him: "How can I let Brother Chen eat leftovers? I ordered another portion a while ago, and it'll be served when Brother Chen arrives."
As he spoke, Fatty clapped his hands and said to the door, "Serve the food!"
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen women in exquisite qipaos with long legs, wearing red high heels, entered carrying platters of food.
They placed the dishes on the table and said softly, "The food is served. Please enjoy."
Then, they bowed slightly to Jiang Chen and Fatty before turning and leaving.
Jiang Chen looked at the steaming hot dishes on the table and didn't stand on ceremony, picking up his chopsticks and starting to eat.
Watching Jiang Chen eat like a whirlwind, Fatty truly wondered if he hadn't eaten for three days and three nights, he was so hungry.
"Brother Chen, you have quite an appetite today!"
Fatty stared at Jiang Chen for a long time, wanting to ask if he was facing financial difficulties and needed his help.
He had asked this before, but Jiang Chen had refused.
He said they were friends, and friends shouldn't talk about such things.
He was afraid Jiang Chen would feel his pride was hurt by such an inquiry.
But then he thought it didn't make sense. Brother Chen was rushing to deal with an S-Class Demonic Beast and had received hundreds of thousands in prize money. That was enough for Jiang Chen to eat well for a long time.
So why was he so hungry!
Jiang Chen ate heartily and said to Fatty, "This roast chicken is good, try some!"
As he spoke, he took a chicken leg and offered it to Fatty.
"Don't just watch me eat, eat more yourself."
Fatty took the chicken leg and saw that the one in Jiang Chen's hand was already reduced to a bone. He asked, "Brother Chen, why is your appetite suddenly so good?"
"My Supernatural Ability consumes a lot of energy, and I need to eat to replenish it." Jiang Chen picked up another pig's trotter and started eating.
"Brother Chen, eat slowly, don't choke."
Fatty assumed Jiang Chen had overexerted himself dealing with Nie Xiaoqian and said, "Then eat more. We can order more if it's not enough."
"Stop eating, old man. I'm drooling just watching, but I can't eat."
Song Aotian watched these dishes, which he hadn't even eaten when he was alive, and felt particularly regretful. He really wanted to eat them, but he couldn't, and he felt incredibly dejected.
"You're a ghost now, without a physical body, so of course, you can't eat."
Jiang Chen clearly wasn't listening to Song Aotian and continued to eat heartily.
He felt that the more he ate, the faster his Soul Power recovered.
Jiang Chen only stopped when he could no longer recover any Soul Power, no matter how much he ate.
He glanced at Fatty, who had finished eating long ago, and patted his slightly bulging stomach. He said to Fatty, "Fatty, I have some good news for you."
"I destroyed the Demon's Heart."
What!!!!
"Brother Chen, you went to the Ten Thousand Monster Forest?"
"No, I didn't. The Demon's Heart was within the Supernatural Ability Academy. Someone ate the Demon's Heart and turned into a half-demon, half-human. I discovered them and eliminated them."
"Brother Chen, you're not lying to me???"
"Why would I lie to you? However, the crisis in this city hasn't been resolved yet!!!"
