Blue Star, Jianglin City.
Jianglin City in July was enveloped by the scorching sun, making it exceptionally hot.
On the Awakening Plaza of Jianglin No. 1 High School, many young people stood with hesitant expressions, gazing solemnly at the giant machine in the center of the plaza.
Today was the day of their Awakening of Talent, and also the moment that would determine whether they could become top powerhouses in the future.
Not far away, the teachers of the No. 1 High School watched the situation in the plaza with solemn eyes.
The young people lined up, one by one, walking towards the center of the plaza.
The Awakening machine in the center of the plaza emitted beams of light, performing the Awakening on the young people in front.
Wang Hao watched the young people go up to Awaken their Talents, feeling a surge of excitement in his heart.
"I wonder what Talent I will Awaken. Someone as handsome as me should at least have an SSS-Rank Talent," Wang Hao couldn't help but think.
Wang Hao was originally a 996 programmer in the 21st century. After an accidental sudden death during overtime, he Transmigrated to this world.
This was a high-martial world that had developed for thousands of years, with Martial Artists capable of splitting mountains and severing seas. The legendary Martial Saint could even traverse the Void Realm and gallop across the star river.
Similarly, this world also contained various demons and monsters, which had launched countless invasions against human society.
Blood, death, and battles of blood and fire were the main theme of this world.
Those top powerhouses protected this fragile yet beautiful world.
The law of the jungle and the reverence for martial arts were the basic rules of this world.
"F-grade Talent, next." A clear electronic voice sounded.
A young man walked out of the plaza dejectedly.
Everyone looked at this young man with sympathy.
An F-grade Talent was the lowest-grade Talent. Not only was the speed of absorbing vital energy very slow, but all aspects of one's attributes were also extremely weak.
Even if one was lucky enough to Breakthrough to a higher Rank, one would only become a bottom-tier Martial Artist.
If there were no particularly great Opportunities, one might only be able to stay at the lowest level of Martial Artist for life.
"D-grade Talent, next."
... "F-grade Talent, next."
... "C-grade Talent, next."
... The Awakening in the plaza was still in full swing.
"S-rank Talent, next." The electronic voice sounded again, and the entire plaza instantly erupted in gasps of admiration.
A delicate-faced young woman, wearing an elegant long dress, with no change in her expression, slowly left the plaza.
The young woman did not show any emotion because of her S-rank Talent, as if she was not surprised by this Awakening result.
"That's Su Qingyan from the Su Family, the number one wealthy family in Jianglin City! She actually Awakened an S-rank Talent!"
"She's so beautiful, her family background is so outstanding, and her Talent is so amazing. Is she even letting others live?"
"Exactly, exactly, the heavens are too unfair…"
"It seems the Su Family is really going to prosper this time. With such a peerless Genius, they are about to take off…"
"Of course, that's an S-Rank! Our entire school has only seen one in so many years."
... A flurry of discussions broke out around them. An S-rank Talent was a peerless Genius, one in a million.
Many teachers frequently glanced over. An S-rank Talent, the Su Family has produced an extraordinary individual.
Basically, as long as she doesn't fall, she is destined to become a Great Grandmaster, and even has a chance to contend for the position of Martial Saint.
Everyone looked at Su Qingyan with envy. That was an S-rank Talent… The Martial Dao Realms are divided into Body Tempering Martial Apprentice, Houtian Martial Artist, Innate Martial Master, Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, Martial Saint, Martial Myth… The Martial Saint is already almost the top echelon of people on the entire Blue Star.
As for the legendary Martial Myth, none have appeared for several centuries.
Wang Hao also looked at Su Qingyan with envy. An S-rank Talent, and she's so beautiful. If only… it would be great… Soon, it was Wang Hao's turn. Wang Hao took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the detector.
The detector emitted a warm light, shining on Wang Hao.
Wang Hao only felt warm all over, and the blood in his body seemed to be boiling.
"No Talent detected, next."
A cold voice sounded in Wang Hao's ear.
Wang Hao's heart sank, the warm aura on his body suddenly dissipated, and his face became extremely ugly. He actually had no Talent? This was playing with a hammer.
Many people around the plaza looked at Wang Hao with pity.
In this world where the strong prey on the weak, those without any Talent cannot even become Martial Artists and can only remain at the Realm of a Martial Apprentice for life.
They will forever be at the lowest level, with no chance of turning their lives around.
Su Qingyan outside the plaza also looked at Wang Hao with a stunned expression. No Talent at all?
"What a pity for such a handsome face," Su Qingyan thought, looking at Wang Hao's handsome face full of disappointment, feeling a faint sense of regret.
"How could he have no Talent? Even an F-grade would be good," Su Qingyan thought, some of her thoughts instantly dissipating.
Wang Hao's eyes were desolate. He had been in this world for almost half a month, and he certainly knew what having no Talent meant.
Wang Hao slowly left the plaza, his body trembling slightly. No Talent… Damn it… How could this be… [Ding, C-grade Talent detected 2 meters ahead. Do you wish to copy it?]
Suddenly, a mechanical voice sounded in Wang Hao's mind.
Wang Hao's pupils constricted slightly. Was this voice a hallucination?
As if sensing Wang Hao's thoughts, the mechanical voice sounded again.
[Ding, C-grade Talent detected 2 meters ahead. Do you wish to copy it?]
Wang Hao did not copy it rashly, but slowly pondered at the edge of the plaza. A C-grade Talent, too weak…
