My future updates weekly.

Chapter 66 When will I test my sharp edge? The longsword in its sheath sings night after night.

Jiang He was the last to go on stage.

At this moment, his mental and physical strength had returned to its peak.

He gazed at the metal knight not far away, his spirits soaring, his fighting spirit blazing—

He used to be introverted, withdrawn, and timid... Even when his classmates mocked him, he never talked back, but just left in silence.

After all, even if others awaken the weakest talent, they are still true extraordinary beings, absolute superhumans.

He was like a sheep among tigers, too weak to be true among them.

This mindset improved somewhat with the arrival of the white cranes, but it did not completely disappear.

First, the time was too short; second, the gap was significant.

Yes, both Bai He and Lao Jiang are too strong and too powerful.

Even though Jiang He had awakened the [Time Transfer] talent, he didn't feel particularly special in front of them.

With the equally outstanding Du Lingwei right beside him, Jiang He never felt like a "genius".

Just like a student's learning, even though their grades are constantly improving, they keep changing classes, moving from a regular class to an excellent class and then to a top class...

When everyone around you is very capable, it's naturally difficult to develop the idea that "I am actually very capable."

Until now.

Standing among the geniuses from various cities, Jiang He watched their performances and felt... nothing special.

Even Yunyang, a genius with S-level talent, actually performed quite poorly.

Seeing their performance, Jiang He couldn't help but have an idea.

That's it?

I can do it too!
So what if it's an S-level talent?
He's still just a natural eraser, with a little extra strength added!

Fueled by this thought, Jiang He's fighting spirit had already reached a breaking point, and he couldn't wait to show his skills—

Who isn't a high school student at heart?
He hasn't graduated yet!

If Professor Wei Sheng were present and saw Jiang He at this moment, he would find that he was a completely different person from before.

It's not strength, not talent, not intensity...

In the past, Jiang He did not see this kind of "light".

The Iron Knight's gaze swept across the platform, and energy level numbers appeared above it.

Initial energy level: 300 (E level).

Jiang He, opposite him, raised his hand and gripped the hilt of the Phoenix Perching Wooden Blade. He bent his upper body slightly, and flames spread from his palm to the blade, transforming into a blazing blade.

When will I test the sharpness of its blade? The longsword in its scabbard sings night after night…

Now is the time to test the sword!
He said.

"moment"

Dust billowed from the ground, and the fire blade sliced ​​through the air, traversing a great distance before striking the steel knight with devastating force.

"Candle Dragon"

Amidst the roar of the blazing dragon, the steel knight was sent flying by a single strike, his body engulfed in scorching flames!

The data on the platform began to surge.

1000, 3000, 4500...

In the blink of an eye, the battle power ratio soared to 15!

A gasp of surprise rang out from the central pillar.

All the students, including Yunyang, stared at the number in astonishment.

Fifteen battles is nothing compared to what we've seen before; in previous tests, it wouldn't even rank among the top.

But know...

This is an E-level combat capability ratio!
E-level superhumans have only just gained the qualification to change to a B-level profession; their profession and skill set are far from complete, and their strength is not strong to begin with.

Previously, an E-level superhuman only needed to achieve a combat energy ratio of 7.0 to be considered a top performer of B-level talent.

One strike unleashes 15 battle prowess; is this an A-level talent... or an S-level talent?!

Looking down, Yunyang noticed that Jiang He would recite a phrase before each action. Other extraordinary individuals wouldn't do that.

If this isn't just showing off...

A name for a talent appeared in Yunyang's mind.

The S-rank all-around talent – ​​[Word Power].

He's a gifted Word Spirit user?!

On the platform, Jiang He had no energy to focus on the data.

His attention was completely focused on the Iron Knight.

He now fully understood what it felt like for others to fight the Iron Knight before...

This is a terrifying iron golem with no limits; even when struck by the Candle Dragon, it left not a single mark.

Even after flying only a meter or two, its energy level increased, and it stopped in mid-air, then rushed back at an even faster speed, its power soaring wildly!
Fortunately, Jiang He was well prepared and was not caught off guard. Instead, he activated his Flame Body directly.

With the addition of various buffing, control, and damage-dealing spells, his strength increased dramatically, and he fought alongside the Iron Knight.

With almost every encounter, the Iron Knight's strength increased.

He was gradually approaching the limit of his combat power.

Combat power ratios of 15, 20, 25, 30...

As the data continued to improve, the students on the central pillar finally made their decision.

This is definitely another S-class talent!
A-level talent alone is definitely not enough to reach this level!
The difference is too big!
Although it's only a combat power ratio of 30, the combat power ratio of an E-level is far more valuable than that of a C-level!
Yunyang's 99.9 combat power, if converted to E-level, would be at most a little over 20.

That is to say...

Jiang He's demonstrated abilities have actually surpassed those of Yun Yang and Du Lingwei!

It is undoubtedly number one!

"This is also from Zhongzhou City?"

"A-rank is this strong, and S-rank is this strong too?"

"No wonder they sent us to Zhongzhou for training..."

The students were buzzing with discussion, while Yunyang was practically grinding his teeth to dust.

One person is one thing, but how come two more people have appeared who performed better than him?!
Isn't he an S-class talent?

Isn't he the strongest genius in Jiangcheng?

He's destined to stand at the top, become an S-class powerhouse, and join the council!
Yunyang couldn't help but say, "I want to try again!"

Zhong Honglian glanced at him: "No."

Yunyang exclaimed excitedly, "Why?!"

"When the end of the world comes, how many chances do you have?" Zhong Honglian said calmly. "Besides, even if you were given another chance, are you sure you could surpass him?"

Surpass him?
Yunyang looked at the platform, his pupils shrinking.

Jiang He's combat power has already risen to 40 points!
An E-level superhuman with B-level professional skills, dealing 40 points of combat power, which is almost 7 times higher than the 6 points of others of the same level...

What about him? A C-level superhuman with A-level professional skills, how many battles would he need to fight to be considered a better performer?
If you have to play a second time and still can't catch up, that would be truly embarrassing, wouldn't it?
Yunyang hesitated.

On the other platform, Jiang He was also nearing his limit.

A combat power of 40 points means that the strength of the Iron Knight has been increased to 12000 points!
This is a true C-level!
Although Jiang He had previously been able to unleash C-level attacks through various buff stacking.

But that's just the maximum output in a single instance.

The current Iron Knight represents a normal combat power of 12000!

In fact, if Jiang He hadn't acquired the [Body of Flames] feat, which, combined with the Destroyer skill bonus, further boosted his true combat power, he would have been unable to hold on long ago.

At this moment, Jiang He was just holding on to his last breath, trying his best to push the Iron Knight's combat power to a higher level.

Just at this time.

Old Jiang's voice echoed in Jiang He's mind.

"Want me to help you?"
