"Li Wei, Awakening Grade: B, Awakening Talent: Body Enhancement.”
"Chen Yongqiang, Awakening Grade: D, Awakening Talent: Control of Wind and Clouds.”
"Zhao Huiyao, Awakening Grade: D, Awakening Talent: ..."
"..."
Atop the grand testing stage that's inscribed with mysterious runes, approximately seventeen or eighteen-year-old youngsters are in line to take their turns at testing.
Further away, groups of young people are gathered in their respective classes, whispering fervently among each other about related topics. They converse about "warriors," "demonic beasts," and so on.
Shen Fan looked at his classmates, who were brimming with enthusiasm, and he could only sigh helplessly.
All he remembered was that he fell asleep on a long-distance bus. He was suddenly awakened by a loud crash, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself at the most critical moment of the original host's life.
After thoroughly absorbing all the host's memories, Shen Fan felt quite overwhelmed.
One couldn't blame him for not being mentally strong or mature enough.
But even if this world were 99% similar to his previous one, the most crucial part was that remaining 1%.
Warriors, demonic beasts, awakening, talents...
These terms, completely non-existent in his previous life, seemed to be the central theme of this world.
A powerful warrior alone could be a match for millions of troops!
Destroying mountains, dividing the seas, controlling the wind and rain; none seemed too difficult for them.
Opposite to this is the monstrous alien beasts that modern firearms simply can't deal with.
Even the smallest of them can slaughter commoners indiscriminately!
Martial artists have a variety of talents, ranging from the lowest to the highest levels: F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS!
The average person typically possesses an E-level talent, with the majority being D or C level. B level defines a small genius, while A level is a rare find!
Above them are the S and SS levels, these are almost always strong competitors for the top ranks in the annual martial examinations. They are the pillars and beams of the future human race.
As for SSS level?
It is a rumored existence, who could be decisively set as the pillars of the human race in the future!
The entire human race's darling!
What's more pressing in this world is when an ordinary person is truly in grave danger!
Nobody knows when there would be a sudden wave of beasts, or when an alien beast would invade the city you live in. Then, the happy life of your family shatters among them.
For Shen Fan who had crossed over due to sleep, it truly felt like he woke up to a world falling apart!!
While Shen Fan lamented, a figure approached from the distance, his voice arrived before he did.
"How is it? Young man, are you a bit nervous? Do you need your adoptive father to impart some wisdom?"
The man who came was named Zhao Yun Cheng, the original host's childhood playmate and high school classmate.
Whether it was his character or social graces, he got along very well with the original host.
Given the seemingly lackluster power of the two, as well as their laid-back demeanour, they were fondly referred to by their classmates as the "Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix Duo."
Zhao Yuncheng is among the members of Senior Class 4, and considering his current state, he had probably already gone through his talent awakening.
Taking into account the original host's memories, despite a somewhat tragic background, Shen Fan was fond of this childhood buddy who was upright, and jovial.
"Go away! You're always disrespectfully informal! I need you to teach me? Parents know best, why don't you first tell me what level of talent you have?"
Shen Fan was a tad curious.
After all, this was the person who jointly shared the title of the Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix with him. If the other party could awaken a higher-level talent, he might be able to do so too.
"If you're talking about that, then I'm wide awake now!"
Looking particularly perky, Zhao Yuncheng then seriously and solemnly said,
"My talent can eliminate all the impurities in this world, making them disappear without leaving a trace, restoring the world to a state of brightness and cleanliness!"
Shen Fan: ???
Is this guy really that awesome?
Sounds pretty impressive, huh!
"My talent is..."
Under Shen Fan's intense gaze full of anticipation and the breath he held, Zhao Yuncheng finally uttered forth.
"D-level talent, Thorough Cleaning!"
His sudden change left Shen Fan breathless.
"Well, you really outdid yourself with your D-rank talent, didn't you?"
"Hehe, there's something you don't understand. Talents may be inadequate, but dignity must never be lost."
"Not everyone can be as fortunate as Cao Jinxiu, possessing the real-world temperament of a woman and A-rank talent."
His friend’s remark stirred up memories in Shen Fan,
Cao Jinxiu, the person his friend was referring to, was the first one to awaken A-rank talent in the Third Martial Academy this year. She was Shen Fan's ex-girlfriend.
Why was she his ex?
Because after her talent awakening yesterday, she came directly to Shen Fan to announce her intention to break up. She asserted that Shen Fan did not match her A-rank talents.
If it were the original host, he might have been crying and pleading, but seeing her haughty demeanor,
Disdain and contempt in her eyes, along with her admiration for another A-rank talent rich brat, Shen Fan just replied in a composed manner.
"You better keep your mouth shut. I fear they might scorn me for being involved with you..."
"Shen Fan, you asshole!"
After his words left his A-rank talent ex-girlfriend stunned, Shen Fan walked away without looking back.
Now,
Shen Fan lifted his gaze towards the Senior One class, directly locking onto the pair of eyes filled with rage, contempt, and ridicule.
"Forget it, I'll just let him think whatever he wants..."
Shen Fan shook his head, seeing that there were already people gradually getting on the testing platform in the class. He was quite nervous inside, mumbling to himself.
"I'm done for, just after transcending, I'm probably going to disgrace myself in front of all the transmigrators and my compatriots in Hua Nation!"
As soon as the words fell, it was Shen Fan's turn to go on stage. However, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Keep your spirits up! Don't disgrace yourself! Your system is with you!"
"Transcending transfer detected, system binding in progress."
"System binding successful. Newbie reward received. A draw for a mythical creature."
"The system is helping the host with automatic extraction."
Before Shen Fan could react, there was a sudden change in his mind.
In the endless white flame filled with the aura of destruction, there was a bird that was constantly struggling and growing.
"Congratulations to the host for drawing an SSS-class mythical creature..."
