Talents, Potentials, Characteristics:
Peerless Archer (Unawakened): Naturally possesses an unusual sensitivity to arrows. With a bow in hand, he is unrivaled by a hundred armies. He can shoot down enemy generals' heads from amidst ten thousand soldiers, as if picking something from his pocket.
(Note: He has not yet realized his talent in archery. Only when he truly recognizes his talent in archery and takes it seriously will his archery be divinely assisted.)
“He is indeed a good talent, a weak four-star. If he can fully develop his potential, he could reach the same level of martial prowess as Zhang Liao and Wei Yan. What's even better is that he not only has the potential of a three-star general, but also a Peerless Archer talent.”
“He is from Hedong and knows some axe techniques. I just don't know if he has any connection with that person…”
Among the crowd, Zhang Shihao observed the appearing Gao Chao, and a person suddenly came to his mind, a smile appearing on his face.
How many talents are there in the world?
An era is by no means limited to the famous figures recorded in history.
In the tide of history, there must have been many more talents who were not recorded for various reasons.
Similarly, there might have been various prodigies who died before becoming famous, or simply never had the opportunity to develop their potential.
Like this Gao Chao, despite having a Peerless Archer talent, if it isn't discovered and unearthed, it's impossible for him to be recorded.
Just as Zhang Shihao smiled, having gained a talent by seeing the selected Gao Chao.
In the crowd not far from Zhang Shihao, two richly dressed young masters stood, filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
“Mengde, this bandit Zhang has recruited another great general! His power will only grow stronger in the future.”
A tall, handsome young man with a commanding presence said angrily to a short, stout young man next to him, who was under seven feet tall, with a round face, big eyes, short beard, a bit comical, but also a bit unrestrained.
“Alas, Benchu’s worries are not unfounded. This Zhang Shihao saved the Emperor's life and has martial arts and medical skills. If he were truly like Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, it would be a disaster for the Han Dynasty.”
Hearing this, the short, stout, unrestrained young man also spoke with a complex expression.
“I truly don't know why His Majesty is so willing to trust Eunuchs!”
The young man named Benchu said with great displeasure.
“Benchu, watch your words!”
The short, stout, unrestrained young man quickly said.
“Look, everyone, come and see! I, this old man, have a thousand-gold warhorse and a thousand-gold divine weapon. If any hero can wield the divine weapon and tame this warhorse simultaneously, I will give this thousand-gold warhorse and thousand-gold divine weapon away for free, only to those with fate!”
At Luoyang's South City Gate, just as the onlookers were buzzing with discussion due to Gao Chao's appearance, a loud shout from afar suddenly attracted many people's attention, making them turn their heads.
A thousand-gold warhorse and a thousand-gold divine weapon, given away for free, only to those with fate?
The tall, handsome young man with a commanding presence and the short, stout, unrestrained young man exchanged glances, both seeing suspicion in each other's eyes.
In the crowd, Zhang Shihao's eyes flashed, and his smile deepened.
He's here!
As the merchant brazenly declared that the thousand-gold warhorse and thousand-gold divine weapon would be given away for free, only to those with fate, it immediately attracted the attention of some people.
The commoners, who were initially not concerned and were watching the guard selection, soon let out exclamations of surprise.
“Oh, this white horse, completely snow-white, with four yellow hooves, a slender body, and an extraordinarily noble aura. It's a good horse!”
“Indeed, it's much taller than a normal horse.”
“And this great halberd, it takes two or three people to lift it! The blade is sharp. This… this truly is a divine weapon!”
“A warhorse, a divine weapon, are they really giving them away?”
…
Exclamations of surprise rang out, and many of the commoners who were watching the guard selection were immediately drawn over.
