I started by slashing through the enemy's territory, and I drew so many affixes that my hands w

In the sweltering summer, the cicadas' chirping is deafening.

Tianyun City, Third High School.

In one of the classrooms, the elderly teacher was giving a serious lecture to the students below the stage.

"Awakening Day is a turning point in your lives. Your talents determine your future. If you are lucky enough to awaken a special talent, you may even become a powerful warrior who conquers other worlds!"

"The strength of your physical body before awakening will also affect the awakening result. Tomorrow will be the test of your three years of hard work!"

"I wish you all the best in achieving great results."

The old teacher spoke calmly, already used to the expectant eyes below.

Although everyone has one chance to awaken their talent, 90% of them cannot even obtain the worst F-level talent, and are destined to remain ordinary people for the rest of their lives.

Even the weakest mortal realm martial artist can surpass ordinary people and earn far more than the average person.

He would be satisfied if even two students in this group had B-level talents, let alone A-level talents.

As for S-rank, which is above A-rank, he didn't even dare to think about it.

That's an S-level talent!

In the entire Tianyun City over the past 10 years, only one person has ever appeared like this!

"Students who haven't successfully awakened should not be discouraged. As long as they study hard and improve their humanities grades, they can still get jobs in major companies after graduation."

"People must be able to accept their mediocrity. There aren't that many geniuses in the world; mediocrity is the norm."

"There are 5 minutes left in get out of class. You can discuss it yourselves."

After the old teacher finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the lectern and took a sip.

Below the stage, the students couldn't wait to start talking, their eyes filled with hope and innocence, as well as a hint of anxiety.

"Tomorrow is Awakening Day. I don't ask for much; I'll be satisfied if I awaken a C-rank talent."

"You're dreaming! Last year, out of 190 students in our school who participated in the Awakening, only one A-level and two B-level students emerged. Across the five classes, there were only 26 C-level students."

"In my opinion, Zhao Lei is the one in our class most likely to awaken an A-level talent."

"That's obvious. Zhao Lei's father is worth over a hundred million, and Zhao Lei's monthly consumption of enhancement fluid alone costs no less than six figures. His physical strength consistently ranks in the top 10 of his grade!"

"That's wonderful! I wish I had a dad as domineering as that..."

Listening to the conversation around me, a boy in the front row, dressed head to toe in designer brands, stood proudly with his back straight.

At this moment, I was in the back seat of the classroom, near the window.

A boy stared blankly out the window at the school's stadium.

He was handsome with a straight nose, and his eyes, which should have been youthful, now revealed a maturity beyond his years.

Jiang Qin has been in this world for 18 years and has long accepted this world that shares the same name as Blue Star.

Unlike Earth, where technology reigns supreme, this world reveres warriors!

Powerful martial artists can traverse other worlds, split mountains and overturn seas with a single move, and even destroy a city in just one minute, comparable to nuclear weapons.

Walking on air, with a single thought, all beasts are annihilated!

That goes without saying.

When Jiang Qin first arrived in this world, he also fantasized about awakening a cheat ability. After all, he had transmigrated by sheer luck, and there was no reason for God to target him.

But 18 years later, Jiang Qin cruelly discovered...

It seems he really doesn't have any cheat codes!

At most, his memory is better than that of ordinary people; otherwise, he is just average.

His only hope now is that he can awaken even the worst F-level talent on Awakening Day tomorrow, so that at least Jiang Ma won't have to work so hard and can live a more comfortable life.

Jiang Ma is his adoptive mother.

Jiang Qin couldn't help but recall the scene when he first transmigrated.

The original owner of this body seemed to come from a large family, but when he was born, his enemies came to his door and kidnapped him while his mother was weak.

At that time, although the original owner's father wanted to take him back, he was held back by a powerful enemy.

Even so, the man who kidnapped him was still fatally wounded by the original owner's father. Although he managed to escape using a secret technique, he was eventually seriously injured and died by a river. Before he died, he threw the still-infant Jiang Qin into the river.

A newborn baby could not possibly withstand such an ordeal and eventually died.

However, this also created an opportunity for Jiang Qin, who had traveled through time.

Then it's not hard to guess.

He was discovered by Jiang Mingrou, an adventurer searching for elixirs, and taken home.

He still remembers that gentle voice:

"You must be a pitiful person who was abandoned by heartless parents, just like me. It's fate that we met. From now on, I am your family."

"Look at you, so dull and silly, you're obviously not smart."

"The ancients said, 'Diligence can make up for lack of talent,' so from now on, your name will be... Jiang Qin!"

And so, Jiang Qin was raised by his mother, and has remained so to this day.

Ring ring—!!!

The shrill sound of the school bell snapped Jiang Qin out of his daze.

The students excitedly packed their bags and rushed out of the classroom.

The chubby guy at the same table stood up, went to Jiang Qin's table, and proudly showed off the two discount cards in his hand:

"Brother Qin, I won two coupons in a lottery at the internet cafe yesterday, which give me two hours of free internet access!"

"How about we go have some fun?"

This guy's name is Zhang Le, and he's practically Jiang Qin's only friend during his three years of high school.

His family must be quite wealthy, but unfortunately he's lazy and currently ranks last in his class.

"No, tomorrow is Awakening Day, I need to go back and get some rest. You go ahead."

After packing up his books, Jiang Qin patted him on the shoulder and walked out of the classroom with a smile.

Zhang Le suddenly felt bored. What's the point of surfing the internet alone? He simply packed his bag and left.

...

After leaving school, Jiang Qin walked calmly towards home.

Although Jiang's mother was a mortal martial artist in her youth, she damaged her foundation during a mission. Although she spent all her family's wealth to save her life, she could no longer pursue martial arts and could only make a living by doing odd jobs.

To support Jiang Qin's admission to Wudao High School, they even sold their house and moved to the suburbs.

I took a bus for a full hour and then walked for 10 minutes.

The surrounding environment gradually changed from high-rise buildings to various old and dilapidated houses, and the roads were also in a terrible state.

This area is known as the "slums," which, as the name suggests, is where people who are poor live. Not only is the environment poor, but transportation is also inconvenient.

Most importantly, because of its proximity to the forest, it is always at risk of being attacked by wild animals.

Beasts are nothing to martial artists.

Hiring martial artists costs money, and the authorities would never spend manpower and resources to clear out wild beasts for the safety of the residents of the slums.

It took Jiang Qin nearly an hour and a half to finally get back to Tianhua Street.

But as soon as they stepped onto the street, they saw figures running towards them in a panic, including their old neighbors and Uncle Li, the butcher, whose expressions seemed to indicate that they had encountered something terrifying.

In an instant, Jiang Qin felt a bad premonition.

He quickly grabbed one of the men's arms and asked:

"Uncle Li, what happened?"

"It's...it's Claw Wolves!" Uncle Li exclaimed in terror, pointing to the street behind him. "A bunch of Claw Wolves suddenly appeared out of nowhere and have already killed more than a dozen people. Your mother is still trying to buy us time, run!"

"If we don't run, everyone on this street will die here!"

Claw wolves are ferocious beasts in the mortal realm. Although most of them are only at the first level of the mortal realm, they always appear in packs!

It is enough to pose a significant threat to ordinary people.

Upon hearing that Jiang's mother was fighting off the pack of wolves, Jiang Qin's expression changed drastically, and he immediately ran towards home.

"Xiao Qin!"

"Don't go!"

Seeing this, Uncle Li, who was unable to stop him in time, took two steps to escape, but hesitated to take the third step.

Finally, after a moment's hesitation, he gritted his teeth, turned around, and chased after them.

Damn it, he's not even afraid of one child? What a load of crap!
