Awakening The Weakest Talent: Only I Level Up

Chapter 727 Revealing The Truth

"Do you really want to know the truth? I can tell you in simple terms now."

Lu Yu thought for a moment and decided to say it.

"I want to know. Tell me quickly; I just can't wait any longer!"

This question had troubled her for the entire night, causing her not to be able to sleep well. Now that she had the opportunity to know the truth, she was more than happy to take it.

"Do you know the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce's best-selling potions?"

An Lan shook her head slightly. "I'm not sure about that. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"The potions they make are miraculous. Some can evolve one's talent, while others can greatly increase one's strength."

"No matter which potion it is, it's so out of this world that it makes one's hair stand on end. Other pharmaceutical companies are no match for them at all."

An Lan shook her head in confusion. "I still don't understand. Does this have anything to do with us?"

"This entire story is complicated, and I don't have time to explain it slowly here."

"To simplify it, their potion is refined from living people. They sacrifice the lives of living people to obtain the essence of the human body. After some refining, it becomes a kind of medicine."

"This essence comes from a human's talent, which is the talent you are about to awaken!"

An Lan was dumbfounded upon hearing Lu Yu's words, making her stand rooted to the ground.

"What... what are you saying? They brought us here and made us work illegally, and you are saying that after we turn eighteen, they will sacrifice us?"

"Yes. Everyone who passed their awakening ceremony here ended with the same fate. After they complete their awakening, they will immediately be sent to the factory next door and be made into potions. Different talents will produce different effects; the better the talent, the stronger the potion!"

An Lan trembled and felt a chill on her back. She took two steps back, almost stumbling to the ground.

She was stunned and couldn't return to her senses.

"Is this true?"

"Of course, it's true. You can choose to believe it or not, but anyway, you'll see the truth soon."

An Lan widened her eyes as memories flashed through her mind.

She had made many friends in the few years she had been here. However, after they had all gone through the awakening ceremony, they had never seen each other again.

"My friends... they're all dead? I was always looking forward to meeting them after I complete my awakening..."

Yun Zirou walked over and patted her shoulder, comforting her, "Don't worry, we will protect you and your brother. "

An Lan raised her head and looked at Lu Yu and the others. "I... I believe you, I believe you!"

Lu Yu nodded slightly. "It's good that you believe me. Go in now and complete your awakening, and I will make a move when they want to take you away."

An Lan took a deep breath and looked at Lu Yu expectantly. "I trust you. I'll go in now!"

If not for Lu Yu's reassuring her, she would have refused to awaken after learning the truth and tried to escape from this place.

She chose to trust Lu Yu, which gave her the confidence to go in and complete her awakening.

The despair that had shrouded her heart flashed past. Initially, this awakening ceremony was her only hope of survival, their only hope of leaving this godforsaken place and making a name for themselves.

Now, her only hope was nothing but a lie, and she almost couldn't accept it.

It was hard for her to imagine how deep the despair was among those who had discovered the truth after the awakening ceremony in the past...

"I'll never forget what the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce does!"

An Lan gritted her teeth and walked into the square.

There was an array formation on the square with nearly a hundred people neatly lined up before it.

In front of them was a long table where the region's leaders and the higher-ups of the neighboring cities sat.

At that moment, Xin Hang stood up and looked at everyone with a bright smile.

"Congratulations! You have welcomed the most crucial moment in your lives. After today, you can leave this place and head to a better world with your future completely rewritten!"

"Next, we will prepare your future development plans according to the different levels of your awakened talents!"

Xin Hang declared in an excited tone, which quickly stirred up the mood of the crowd.

Everyone was excited, happy, and nervous. At the same time, they were looking forward to their awakenings.

In the crowd, only An Lan stood still with her head lowered, suppressing the anger in her heart.

Right now, she was weak and powerless. She could not even resist her fate if it weren't for Lu Yu and the others behind her. She would have had to watch herself walk into an abyss even if she knew the truth today.

The speech was still going on. Lu Yu and the others stood behind a big tree across the street and watched quietly.

The location wasn't conspicuous, and Lu Yu and the others didn't stand out from the other onlookers.

Lu Yu and his team were observing the awakening ceremony carefully.

At that moment, a red sports car suddenly drove over with the roar of its engine.

Soon, the red sports car stopped at the entrance. The door opened, and a young man in a red suit emerged. He took off his glasses and walked in with an excited smile.

This uninvited guest piqued Lu Yu's interest.

"Where did this guy come from? He doesn't look like someone from this industrial zone." Lu Yu asked.

"I'm not sure. I guess he's someone from Goldenheart City." Qin Yang replied.

"From the looks of it, he should be a wealthy second-generation heir from some corporation."

After Lu Yu finished speaking, he continued to observe the situation.

The arrival of this wealthy heir also brought about a topic of conversation for the other onlookers as murmurings started.

When Xin Hang saw this man walking over in the square, he quickly stood up and exclaimed excitedly, "Young Master Qian, hurry over. We're waiting for you!"

The wealthy second-generation heir walked over, smiling, and stood beside Xin Hang.

He glanced at the group of people before him, turned his head to Xin Hang, and asked in a low voice.

"It hasn't started yet?"

"It's about to start. You came just in time. If there's a powerful talent, I'll definitely save it for you!"

"This territory belongs to the Qian family. If I, Qian He, wanted anything, would it have to be saved for me?"

"Yes, yes, you're right. I'll give you whatever you have. I hope our luck will be better today; it'll be best if we get an A-Level talent."

Qian He sat on the chair and continued, "Let's begin. I can't wait to see how many geniuses will be produced in this awakening ceremony!"

"Don't worry. Usually, with this number, there would be at least one A-Level talent!"

"That's for the best. I can't wait for the reveal."
