Chapter 4 The Extraordinary Path of the Word-Power Talented
May 19, 8:00 AM.

Teachers' Office, Zhongzhou No.1 High School.

"combustion"

A strange, rhythmic sound played, and the white paper received the king's command, so it spontaneously burst into flames—even after turning into ashes, it remained burning hot until it heard the next command.

"Extinguish"

The sound rang out again, and the flames were dispelled, vanishing without a trace.

All that remained on the desktop was a scorch mark.

"It really is an S-level talent, Word Power!" Wei Sheng's eyes widened, almost popping out of his glasses.

He looked up at the thin boy in front of him and was speechless for a moment.

When Jiang He announced that he had awakened his talent [Word Spirit], Wei Sheng thought he was joking—a poor student who had never awakened his talent suddenly claiming to be a super genius was something he would never dream of doing.

But when Jiang He used his abilities and presented the facts to him, he was shocked to discover...

This is actually true!

The talent of "Word Power" grants words extraordinary power, causing everything in the world to follow the will of the extraordinary... There is an ancient word that perfectly describes this talent.

Follow your words.

Even if one has just awakened and cannot reach that level, one can still display a wealth of power far exceeding that of other talents.

This includes, but is not limited to, commanding and manipulating the elements of the world, restricting or amplifying the speech of others, and strengthening or enhancing one's own speech...

It's incredibly versatile!

Jiang He just demonstrated this kind of all-around ability!
"Teacher, shall we continue?"

Jiang He gently rubbed his temples.

Unlike the naturally awakened [Time Transfer] talent, he cannot directly control the [Word Power] talent as if it were an extension of his own arm.

To prepare for today's talent registration, he practiced with Bai He for a long time last night, exhausting all the little bit of extraordinary energy he had just begun to develop, leaving him completely worn out.

Now, after using the power of words repeatedly, I'm really starting to feel the strain.

"That's enough, that's enough!" Wei Sheng snapped out of his daze, his face flushed with excitement.

Du Lingwei, who receives a lot of attention at school, is only an A-level talent...

An S-level talent has emerged from the class I taught!
He stood up abruptly, reached out to grab Jiang He, but then felt his movements were a bit too rough, so he stopped and forced a "gentle" smile: "Jiang He, you've used your talent so many times, you must be tired. Come, sit down."

Wei Sheng is usually stern and unsmiling in front of his students, and it is common for him to extend class time and take over classes. He is deeply feared by his students and has even earned the nickname "Holy Beast".

Jiang He had never seen the "sacred beast" with such an expression and attitude before. He got goosebumps all over his body and forced himself to sit down.

Wei Sheng said gently, "You have top-notch talent, but you awakened it a little late... I need to go and discuss this with the principal. You can rest here for now."

Jiang He nodded: "Okay."

"What an obedient child," Wei Sheng remarked, pushing open the office door and leaving.

After the office door closed, there was a pause of a few seconds, followed by a burst of wild laughter that gradually faded into the distance.

Jiang He couldn't help but mutter, "That's too exaggerated..."

“Not an exaggeration,” another voice said.

Jiang He turned his head and saw Bai He, now a white-haired young man, standing by the office window, gazing outside, seemingly looking at something.

As a heroic spirit, the white crane is currently in an invisible spiritual state, and its voice is directly transmitted into the mind.

He explained, "Wei Sheng has the profession of [teacher], and he can grow by nurturing each outstanding student."

“An S-rank talent holder can definitely advance two or three ranks once they graduate... Considering that your talent is far more than S-rank, the growth potential you can gain may be even greater.”

"He's really lucky."

It turned out to be the case.

Jiang He suddenly realized.

No wonder he heard that when Du Lingwei enrolled two years ago, the teachers fought tooth and nail for the position of homeroom teacher for the top class...

During that period, Wei Sheng probably lost the struggle, and his face was several shades darker than usual, which scared several troublemakers in the class into trembling.

If this were a fantasy novel, it would be a competition for the opportunity to achieve enlightenment!
Talk about it.

In the system of the extraordinary world, [profession] and [talent] are equally important.

Every extraordinary individual has the opportunity to work in multiple different professions, and will inevitably have a basic profession.

Jiang He awakened his talent last night and also obtained a basic profession that suited his identity.

【student】

With a thought, Jiang He transformed a large amount of information into a text panel that appeared before his eyes.

……

Name: Jiang He

Attributes: Physical 0.8, Spirit 1.1, Energy 1.0
Talents: Time Transference, Word Power (Temporary)
Occupation: Student, Level 11
Specialty: Focus - Entering a state of focus increases thinking speed and continuously consumes mental energy.

Skills: To be learned

Overall energy level: 5.2 (G level)
...Occupation: Student

Level: 11 (Automatically increases by 1 level each academic year; additional levels can be achieved for outstanding performance; 1 skill point is gained per level)

Professional skills: To be learned

Professional Expertise: Focus

Remaining skill points: 11
Rating: E
……

Those with extraordinary abilities possess the power to change professions, even those that seem ordinary to most people: students, teachers, farmers, merchants, craftsmen... These professions can grant them extraordinary power.

However, the skill trees unlocked by these professions cannot be combined or stacked; they are independent of each other.

For example, the skill points gained by a student after leveling up can only be used to master student skills, and cannot be used by a teacher.

Last night, after Jiang He awakened as a superhuman, his years of studying directly upgraded his student profession to level 11, granting him 11 student skill points.

It can be used to acquire skills such as [Quick Calculation], [Physical Fitness], [Eye Exercises], and [Memory Palace] from the student skill tree.

It was precisely because I had learned about the career skills tree that I was able to do so.

Jiang He finally understood why, despite his desperate efforts to study, his grades could never catch up with those extraordinary classmates who studied casually.

Even though they are all students, they are extraordinary.

Fortunately, he has finally crossed that boundary and stepped into the realm of the extraordinary.

At this moment, Jiang He had a sudden thought and, through his connection with the heroic spirit, directly transmitted his idea to Bai He.

How should I allocate skill points for the student profession?

Bai He is an S-class superhuman, so he must know which way of allocating skill points is most suitable.

"The student skill tree has three skill paths: culture, art, and sports. The skills under each path can be further divided into two categories: growth and ability."

“We awakened too late and no longer need the growth skills of students… You will soon be able to switch to a truly advanced extraordinary profession, with a growth efficiency far exceeding that of students.”

"Now we can just acquire the skills directly—after so many years of learning, it's time to reap the rewards."

Bai He first explained the reason, then turned around and looked at Jiang He.

"For specific stat allocation, in preparation for tomorrow's battle, I recommend [Power Burst Lv3], [Strong Body Lv3], [Athletic Skills Lv3], and [Abundant Stamina Lv2]."

"All sports, no arts and culture?"

Jiang He was somewhat puzzled, as the attributes corresponding to the Word Spirit talent were spirit and energy.

He clearly saw some skills that could elevate the spirit within the path of culture and art.

"In battles between low-level superhumans, physical strength is far more beneficial than mental energy... I have seen too many superhumans who rely on their talent to unleash flashy superhuman abilities, only to be killed by a single punch from a low-level physical superhuman."

Bai He understood Jiang He's confusion—after all, it was a confusion he himself had experienced in his youth.

He explained patiently.

"Moreover, the extraordinary profession I've prepared for you, the [Morpheus], ​​is a mental profession that can provide even better bonuses."

Last night, after talking with Bai He, Jiang He quickly discussed the talent registration for the next day.

Bai He advised him not to reveal his [Time Transfer] talent, but instead to register his Word of Power talent, which in turn raised a question—

The power of words originates from the heroic spirit white crane, and is temporary, not permanent.

If the duration of the Heroic Spirit White Crane expires, and Jiang He fails to extract the Word Spirit talent he possesses...

Therefore, he will not be able to use the power of the Word Spirit talent again until the cooldown is over and he can summon the white crane again.

If someone registers their talent for using the power of words but can't use it, wouldn't that ruin their character?

The white crane offered a solution to this problem.

The extraordinary profession: [The Rumor Monger].

This is a supernatural profession created by the White Crane in the future. After changing professions, as long as specific words of power are recorded, even without the talent of words of power, one can use specific words of power.

It can help Jiang He maintain his identity and power as a Word Spirit Talent during the cooldown period of the Heroic Spirit.

Furthermore, this extraordinary profession can continue to advance, from [Messenger] to [Word Bearer]... all the way to the S-rank profession [Saint Word Bearer], a path to heaven exclusively for those with the talent for Word Spirit.

It was only after understanding this profession that Jiang He felt comfortable registering for the Word Spirit talent.

At this point, based on Bai He's suggestion, he added points to the student's professional skills.

[Power Burst Lv3 - Squeezes out potential, forcibly unleashes power, briefly grants a 3.0 physical bonus, leaves the user weakened afterward.]

[Strong Body Lv3 - Gain 1.5 Physical Bonus]

[Sports Cell Level 3 - Significantly Enhanced Athletic Ability]

[Abundant Stamina Lv2 - Increases maximum stamina and stamina recovery speed]

Having used up all his student skill points, Jiang He instantly transformed from an ordinary student into an extraordinary athlete, capable of easily sliding tackles on tigers.

He was feeling the surging power coursing through his body when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the office.

The office door opened, and Wei Sheng entered with a red-haired woman.

"Principal, this is Jiang He."
