Borrow my talent? Wood Release Sharingan stuns the school beauty.

"How could it be him? Lin Chen, the one with double B-level talent?"

"Nine hundred and twenty points, seventy points higher than School Beauty Su! How is that possible! With a double B-level talent, even if he didn't eat or drink and hunted ferocious beasts, he couldn't possibly accumulate that many points, right?"

Almost everyone here knows the name Lin Chen.

After all, the events of the awakening ceremony a few days ago had already spread throughout most of Jiangcheng.

It is especially widespread among students.

Although Su Zhenbang used all his power a few days ago to suppress the rumors in Jiangcheng about the day of the awakening ceremony.

After Su Zhenbang intervened, the events of that day had faded somewhat from memory, but now, the mere mention of Lin Chen's name still brings back those memories.

Upon hearing Lin Chen's name and seeing Su Muxue standing beside him, everyone's memories were instantly awakened.

"It must have been Su, the school beauty, who helped him!" A voice suddenly rang out, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"Didn't you see? They came out of the secret realm together. Maybe Lin Chen's points were all accumulated by School Beauty Su hunting ferocious beasts for him!"

These words immediately garnered support from many people.

No one believed that Lin Chen earned his points on his own.

Many people here are more talented than Lin Chen, and their strength before entering the secret realm was also higher than his.

But now the points gap is so large, they find it hard to accept.

"That's right! That must be it!"

"Even if someone with a double B-level talent breaks through to Martial Master after entering the secret realm, they still can't be stronger than School Beauty Su. When School Beauty Su entered the secret realm, she was already close to the mid-stage of Martial Master. Before, in the secret realm, I even saw School Beauty Su break through two minor realms in a row. Now she is the late-stage of Martial Master."

"Maybe School Beauty Su has no choice but to help him because of the spirit contract. After all, the spirit contract has binding force, and Lin Chen asked her to help accumulate points, so she couldn't refuse."

The discussion grew increasingly heated, with almost everyone concluding that Lin Chen had obtained his points with Su Muxue's help.

No one wanted to believe that Lin Chen, with his double B-level talent, could have won first place in the preliminary rounds and surpassed so many people with even stronger talent and strength by virtue of his own strength.

Lin Chen stood still, seemingly oblivious to the surrounding chatter.

He doesn't care what others think, nor does he need to explain to anyone that strength isn't something that can be demonstrated by words.

Su Muxue frowned upon hearing these comments, a hint of displeasure flashing across her face. When she looked at Lin Chen, she found that he didn't seem to care at all, and her frown relaxed.

Zhao Yu, standing at the front of the crowd, was now completely frozen in place, his eyes vacant, as if he had suffered a tremendous blow.

He meticulously planned and instigated a beast tide, sending his men to teach Lin Chen a lesson. He thought Lin Chen was doomed, and even if he survived by chance, he would never pass the preliminary rounds.

In the end, Lin Chen not only survived, but also won first place in the preliminary round, surpassing him and even Su Muxue!

Zhao Yu even suspected that Lin Chen's high score was partly due to Zhao Yu's efforts.

It was he who sent people to teach Lin Chen a lesson, which led to their points being stolen.

There was also a beast tide.

Zhao Yu roughly guessed that the beast tide he drove away had become Lin Chen's points, but he couldn't understand how Lin Chen had the strength to kill the beast tide.

Just then, the provincial leader spoke again, his voice authoritative and drowning out the murmurs of the room: "Quiet!"

The entire room fell silent instantly, and everyone instinctively looked at the person in charge.

"The preliminary rankings have all been announced. The top 100 martial artists will gather at the central square of Jiangcheng in two days and travel together to the provincial capital to participate in the martial arts college entrance examination three days later."

The person in charge's gaze swept across the entire room, his tone serious. "Please prepare yourselves. The martial arts college entrance exam is far more difficult than the preliminary rounds. If you want to stand out, you must go all out."

After saying that, the person in charge, along with several invigilators, turned and left the square.

As the person in charge left, the crowd in the square gradually dispersed.

Those students who failed the preliminary rounds left in a hurry, their faces full of disappointment and their heads down, their hearts filled with regret and resentment.

The students who passed the preliminary rounds smiled with relief and gathered in twos and threes to discuss the martial arts college entrance examination three days later and share their experiences in the secret realm.

As for Lin Chen winning first place, although it was still shocking, most people only discussed it briefly before moving on.

In their view, the first place winner in the preliminary round only qualified for the martial arts college entrance examination.

These people had already concluded in their hearts that Lin Chen's points were obtained with Su Muxue's help.

They stopped worrying and focused on preparing for the upcoming martial arts college entrance exam.

Soon, most of the people in the square had left.

Zhao Yu slowly came to his senses, the anger in his eyes gradually replaced by a strong killing intent. He stared intently at Lin Chen's back, gritting his teeth and muttering:

"Lin Chen, I will not let you go. In the martial arts college entrance examination, I will not only kill you with my own hands, but also torture you severely."

His lackeys dared not speak, and could only cautiously stay by his side, not daring to breathe loudly.

After the person in charge finished speaking, Su Muxue also planned to go back to rest and then prepare for the martial arts college entrance examination.

"Wait." Just as Su Muxue turned around, Lin Chen suddenly called out to her.

Because he remembered that he had planned to talk to Su Muxue about the temporary evolution of his talent.

This world has items that can temporarily evolve talent levels.

Currently, the A-rank Sharingan has three tomoe. If the talent is temporarily evolved, then the Mangekyou Sharingan can be obtained.

After acquiring the Mangekyou Sharingan, Lin Chen's strength will increase dramatically.

Su Muxue stopped and turned around, looking at Lin Chen with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"

Lin Chen walked slowly to Su Muxue, looked at her calmly, and said seriously, "I had something to tell you in the secret realm, but I was interrupted by the beast tide."

A hint of curiosity flashed in Su Muxue's eyes, and she nodded: "Go ahead."

"It's about talent," Lin Chen said slowly.

"The Sharingan I'm using now is the three-tomoe form, but it can continue to evolve."

Su Muxue had already discovered that Lin Chen's talent could evolve, so she wasn't surprised to hear this.

Lin Chen must be looking for her now because of his evolutionary talent.

"The next evolution of the Sharingan is called the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Once it evolves into the Mangekyou Sharingan, it will gain unique special abilities that are far more powerful than the three-tomoe Sharingan."

At this point, Lin Chen's tone became somewhat excited.

He roughly guessed what abilities the kaleidoscope would have.

"Exclusive special ability?" Su Muxue's curiosity was completely piqued.

"What kind of special ability?"
