Chapter 12 Advancement to F Rank: The Beginning of Getting Stronger!
Meditation room.

The white crane lowered its head, looked at the boy lying flat on the ground with a blank expression, and smiled: "Congratulations."

Jiang He lay motionless, staring at the ceiling, his mind blank.

After using the Word of Power hundreds of times in a row, even with the help of a mental field to restore his mental energy, it felt like his brain had been completely drained of nutrients.

Later on, every time he used his Word of Power, he felt as if someone was cutting his brain with a knife...

Not to mention, he was also training his physical body on the side.

This is absolutely hellish torture!

but--

He persevered!

The moment his spirit broke through the bottleneck, he seemed to hear a silent shattering sound, accompanied by a gentle, soothing power that calmed every cell in his body, even completely healing the fatigue in his brain.

He has fully recovered to his peak condition.

The exhilarating feeling of liberation, combined with the lingering pain, left his mind blank.

Jiang He lay motionless on the ground.

I don't want to say anything, and I don't want to do anything.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice.

"When did you advance to the next level?"

"It was about half a month after awakening." Bai He looked reminiscing. "Teacher Zhong's fire controllers don't grow up as simply as the combination of 'word spirit and messenger'."

"Not to mention, as an S-class talent, there are too many things to deal with, and no way to focus on cultivation."

Jiang He lay there with his eyes open, and after a while, he spoke.

"I am better than you."

The white crane smiled and said sincerely, "You are better than me."

Upon hearing this, Jiang He finally smiled with relief.

The reason he works so hard is to become even stronger than the white crane, isn't it?
Only by becoming stronger than the white crane can one avoid ending up like it.

Now, it's time for him to take the first step!
As his brain gradually recovered, Jiang He moved his fingers and began to perceive his own condition.

……

Name: Jiang He

Attributes: Physical 20.5, Spirit 40.0, Energy 11.0
Talents: Time Transference, Word Power (Temporary)
Occupation: Student lv11, Rumormonger lv9 (22/100)

Specialties: Focus, supernatural language sense

Skills: Babbling Lv6 (max), the rest omitted.

Overall energy level: 31.5 (F level)
……

After the breakthrough, the energy level increased directly from 10.0 to 31.5!

At the same time, physical strength and energy strength each increased by 10 points, while mental strength soared by 20 points!
This exaggerated increase in attributes made Jiang He dozens of times stronger than he was a few hours ago!
These are just figures on paper.

In addition, the agonizing hours of training allowed Jiang He to rapidly improve his mastery of the Word Magic talent, transforming it from rudimentary to expert.

He now feels that his Word Power talent is an ability he awakened on his own, rather than an ability "borrowed" from the White Crane.

Additionally, the Rumor Monger class has 3 skill points left that haven't been allocated...

"combustion"

As the sound rang out, a golden-red flame suddenly appeared in mid-air, like a blazing little sun.

Compared to the small wad of white paper that was lit in the morning, it was worlds apart.

At this moment, Jiang He finally understood why Bai He wanted him to break through as soon as possible.

The improvement brought by advancing to the next level is truly enormous.

The thrill of becoming stronger quickly changed Jiang He's mind.

He waved his hand to extinguish the flames and looked expectantly at the white crane.

"continue?"

White Crane: "Weren't you very tired just now?"

Jiang He: "I'm not tired now."

As it turns out, we shouldn't even talk about the past or the future.

Humans cannot even empathize with themselves from ten minutes ago.

Bai He smiled and shook his head: "There's no need. The recovery from the breakthrough is only temporary. Your mind is already too exhausted. If you continue, you might collapse... It's not worth it."

"You are unlikely to advance to the next level today."

"Let's take a break and prepare for tomorrow."

"……All right."

Jiang He didn't persist—the pleasure brought by excitement was short-lived, and his mind became somewhat scattered again.

At the same time, he felt very hungry, so he got up, stretched, and asked.

"what time is it?"

Bai He: "Three o'clock in the afternoon." Jiang He: "Want to go for lunch?"

White Crane: "Let's go, cold noodles."

……

On the other side, in the lounge, about ten minutes ago...

The shock of Jiang He's advancement left everyone stunned on the spot.

You only awakened yesterday, and you've already advanced today?

What speed is this?

and……

Shao Jun swallowed hard, as if remembering something: "Chi Zhilei, you just said that he, like Du Lingwei, chose Principal Zhong's [Burning Sun] class... Has he changed classes yet?"

"No, Teacher Zhong is quite busy. We plan to hold a ritual for him tomorrow." Chi Zhilei looked intently into the meditation room, as if she were seeing a giant dragon made of jewels.

"Breaking through the shackles of the extraordinary without changing jobs?" Shao Jun's expression was a little distorted.

“Classmate, you might have forgotten that every superhuman has a basic profession… Jiang He definitely has the profession of [Student].” Wei Sheng pushed up his glasses, unable to suppress the corners of his mouth.

As for the reason, you can tell by looking at the expressions of the other people.

"How can a lowly E-level job like 'student' allow someone to advance in a day?" Shao Jun was practically bursting with jealousy.

At this moment, Du Lingwei suddenly spoke up.

"Talent also affects energy level. A superhuman who awakens an S-level talent might have an initial energy level close to the G-level limit."

"As long as the energy level reaches its limit and touches the shackles, there is a possibility of advancement."

Shao Jun settled in Bengbu.

Awakening is the peak, practice makes progress, is this what S-rank is?
This is fucking... "perverted!"

Shao Jun's words expressed what everyone was thinking.

Everyone had fully come to their senses.

Du Lingwei continued walking, found an empty meditation room, and pushed open the door to enter.

The power of her S-rank talent did surprise her, but it didn't really affect her.

She has things to do.

Du Lingwei sat quietly in the meditation room for a while, and her mental strength, which had been on the verge of exhaustion, gradually recovered.

A minute later, refreshed, she walked out of the meditation room and went straight out of the rest hall.

On the other side, Shao Jun, Chi Zhilei, and the others watched her departing figure.

"Is it really just to replenish your energy?" Chi Zhilei clicked her tongue.

Shao Jun couldn't help but shake his head.

They're in such a hurry to leave because they don't want to see any geniuses stronger than themselves...

Who would have thought that the former star of Zhongzhou would one day be jealous of others?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to the meditation room, feeling a pang of jealousy.

If only he had S-class talent.

The group assumed that Jiang He would soon emerge from the meditation chamber after his breakthrough, so they stood and waited.

Unexpectedly, it took another ten minutes or so before I heard the door open.

Looking up, I saw a neatly dressed young man walk out, his eyes slightly lowered, looking somewhat tired.

Shao Jun looked him over carefully and couldn't help but think to himself... He looked quite ordinary and didn't seem like a genius at all.

Chi Zhilei quickly walked up, stood in front of the boy, and smiled brightly: "Hello Jiang He, my name is Chi Zhilei, from now on we will be classmates in the top class!"

Shao Jun quickly followed, forcing a smile, and extended his hand: "Hello classmate, my name is Shao Jun, and I'm also in our top class..."

Jiang He was somewhat introverted and was not used to such a sudden enthusiasm from a stranger.

I just went through another brain-blank exercise, and now I'm mentally exhausted. I don't want to think about anything else; I just want to fill my stomach as soon as possible.

So he nodded and said, "My name is Jiang He, hello to both of you."

After saying that, she walked up to Wei Sheng and said, "Teacher, I'm tired. Can I ask for leave today?"

"Of course." Wei Sheng tried to keep a smile: "If you're tired, go back and rest first. I'll send you the class schedule on my phone."

"Thank you, teacher. Goodbye, teacher."

Jiang He felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He smiled and said goodbye to Wei Sheng, then pushed open the door and left the lounge.

Seeing this, Chi Zhilei also said to the teacher, "Teacher Xu, I'd like to ask for leave this afternoon and go home first!"

After saying that, she quickly caught up with him: "Jiang He, wait a minute, let's go together!"

Shao Jun was left alone, standing next to the three teachers, awkwardly withdrawing his hand.

Tch, what's with the attitude?

It's just an S-level talent.
