Chapter 5

What did you just say?

Chen Hao also saw Jiang Yuan and immediately ran over.

"Yuanzi, how are you?"

Jiang Yuan was about to speak.

Suddenly, a riot broke out at the edge of the magic circle. Three people from the group of teachers guarding the circle suddenly attacked. One of them stabbed a female teacher in the chest from behind with his hand and a knife, while another raised his hand towards Liu He and the others, trapping them in a barrier.

The remaining person pushed off with his feet, leaped high into the air, and headed towards Xia Qinghou and the other group of geniuses. He raised his hand and summoned several bolts of lightning that roared down.

This was too sudden!

Before the students could react, the highly destructive attack was already upon them, and even the teachers couldn't come to their aid.

"presumptuous!!"

Liu He roared, his voice like thunder, instantly shattering the barrier.

He flashed in front of the barrier master and slammed his head into his chest cavity with a palm strike.

The white-haired and bearded vice-principal raised his cane, and a barrier instantly appeared, blocking the lightning attacks.

The head of the teaching department swelled up, shattering his shirt, and rushed at lightning speed to the assassin who had attacked the female teacher, sending him flying hundreds of meters with a single punch.

Seeing the situation was dire, the assassin, his body crackling with lightning, advanced instead of retreating, shouting...

"For the abyss!"

He crashed straight into the barrier, his entire body exploding with a deafening roar, the terrifying impact mixed with lightning shattering the barrier.

Even though Xia Qinghou and the other prodigies used their talents to resist, they were still blown away. Although they were not injured, they looked disheveled and embarrassed.

"It's those Abyss cultists again!"

Liu He cursed in a low voice.

"A bunch of lunatics!"

"Pah, pah, pah."

Chen Hao got up from the ground, spitting out the dust in his mouth. "I had heard that the madmen of the Abyss Cult would target geniuses who had awakened S-level talents, and it turns out it was true."

Jiang Yuan's eyelids twitched at the sight.

Even geniuses from prominent families who have awakened S-level talents are vulnerable to such suicidal attacks.

What if one's talents and profession were exposed?

Wouldn't that mean that seventh or eighth-tier Abyss Believers would come specifically to kill me?

I'm not one of those transmigrators who becomes an orphan right after arriving in this world, without any ties or worries.

I have my parents, my aunt's family, and two cousins. I can't possibly drag them all onto the list of those crazy Abyss Believers.

As expected... it's best to play it safe.

"By the way, Yuanzi, what did you awaken? An assassin? A mage?" Chen Hao asked curiously.

"I awakened an E-rank talent and became an assassin."

Upon hearing Jiang Yuan's words...

Chen Hao's expression first showed surprise, then turned into one of sympathy and pity.

He put his hand on Jiang Yuan's shoulder and comforted him, "I thought I was already pretty bad, but I didn't expect you to be even worse."

"Take it easy. Life goes on."

"Even if you don't become a big shot, with a face like yours, you could always become a gigolo..."

"roll!"

"Okay."

……

soon.

After the incident subsided, the injured teachers and students were taken to the infirmary for treatment by therapists.

The other students returned to the classroom to register.

As for those who awakened to S-rank, they all went to the principal's office for another test to avoid any mistakes.

……

Class 3.

"Guan Xiaoxiao, awakened A-level talent, changed class to Shadow Mage."

……

"Zeng Hang, awakened A-level talent, changed class to spearman."

……

"Huang Yi, awakened B-level talent, changed class to warrior."

……

"Chen Hao, awakened C-level talent, changed to veterinarian."

"Jiang Yuan, awakened E-rank talent, will become an assassin..."

When Zhang Yiming on stage said this, many girls in the class couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yuan, feeling both surprised and regretful.

It's such a shame that the most handsome guy in our class has awakened the worst talent.

Some of the female classmates who had previously harbored a crush on Jiang Yuan visibly became distant, disdainful, and even stopped looking at him altogether.

"Liu Hong, I remember you used to have a crush on Jiang Yuan, right? Now's your chance to make your move," a female student teased.

"Who would like him? I would never like an E-rank piece of trash."

"Exactly. I thought he was a promising talent who could awaken an A-level talent, but I was wrong."

"What's the use of being handsome? E-level talent? Even a dog wouldn't talk about that."

……

Several boys who had awakened low-level talents were overjoyed to see someone even worse than themselves.

"I thought my D-rank talent was bad enough, but I didn't expect there to be something even worse."

"So what if he's the class heartthrob? He's still only an E-rank. So what if I'm ugly? A D-rank is still better than an E-rank."

Hearing the whispers of these people, Chen Hao couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yuan. "Yuanzi, don't take it to heart."

Jiang Yuan laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile."

Rather, he doesn't even consider these people a threat at this moment.

Even the geniuses in Class S are not worth his attention.

After registering and confirming everything was correct, Zhang Yiming stood on the podium and looked at the students, saying:

"The job transfer ceremony is over, and there's only one month left until the college entrance exam."

"Don't think that everything will be fine once you awaken your talent. If you want to get into Martial Arts University, you still need to make the most of this month to familiarize yourself with your talent and professional skills."

"At the same time, it is also essential to refine one's Qi and blood."

"You should know that to enter the Abyss and other dungeons, you must at least become a Tier 1 martial artist. That's the rule."

The definition of a martial artist who has changed professions flashed through Jiang Yuan's mind.

There are nine ranks of martial artists, with rank one being the lowest and rank nine being the highest.

First-tier martial artist LV1-lv9.

Second-tier martial artist LV10-lv19.

Tier 3 Warrior LV20-lv29.

……

Ninth-tier martial artist LV90-LV99.

Generally, a seventh-level martial artist can be called a grandmaster, and an eighth-level martial artist is called a great grandmaster.

LV99 is known as a titled Grandmaster.

Once you break through level 100, you are called a King-level martial artist.

The next level up is demigod, reaching level 150.

Even a Level 1 first-tier martial artist possesses strength exceeding a thousand jin and a speed reaching 30 meters per second, surpassing the limits of ordinary humans and entering another level of life.

However, the vast majority of students at Wudao High School have not yet reached this basic level.

"Some people, after completing their awakening and job change, never reach the first-tier martial artist level in their entire lives. I think you should be aware of that."

"Therefore, we must lay a solid foundation from now on, especially if we aim for the top martial arts university. We absolutely cannot slack off. No matter how high our awakened talent sequence is, we must still train our physique and blood every day."

"So today we're conducting a blood and qi level test to see if you've slacked off on your training lately."

"Sui Jing, come up here, you're first."

……

"Chen Hao, Qi and Blood 2.197. Not up to standard."

Hearing his homeroom teacher Zhang Yiming's words, Chen Hao walked off the stage dejectedly.

"Next up, Jiang Yuan."

Guan Xiaoxiao raised her head.

Jiang Yuan stepped forward and put his finger into the blood and qi testing machine. Soon, the number 2.332 appeared on the crystal surface.

A few slightly surprised murmurs rippled through the class.

Jiang Yuan let out a soft breath in front of the podium.

"Jiang Yuan, Qi and Blood 2.332, qualified."

Looking at the young man in front of him, Zhang Yiming felt a pang of regret and emotion.

I thought he would awaken at least a B-level talent like Guan Xiaoxiao, but it turned out to be an E-level talent...

"Not bad, your Qi and blood have increased by 0,151 compared to last month. It seems you haven't neglected your exercise during this time."

"Since you passed the test, the student subsidy for this month, which is also the last one for the senior year, will be deposited into your account later. Please check your account."

The boy nodded. "Thank you, Teacher Zhang."

Zhang Yiming looked at the handsome young man in front of him. He was slender with bright black eyes that revealed his tenacious spirit. Although his talent was only at the E-level and his family background was ordinary, he was calm, hardworking, and neither arrogant nor impatient.

Zhang Yiming patted him on the shoulder: "Although your awakened talent is insufficient, based on your recent growth rate, if you can rise to above 2.8, you still have a chance to get into a second-tier university. Give it a shot."

Jiang Yuan has not yet answered.

A sneer rang out.

"Him? A mere E-rank trash?"

All eyes turned to Huang Yi, who had blond hair.

He swayed back on his chair, holding his head and looking at Jiang Yuan with disdain:

"No martial arts school would want an E-rank piece of trash. Dream on."

Chen Hao secretly raised his middle finger under the table and whispered, "You're pretending to be something you're not."

He ignored the blond man's taunts and didn't bother to pay them any attention.

Jiang Yuan said to Zhang Yiming, "I will do my best."

After saying that, he turned around and walked straight back to his seat.

As I passed by the seat next to the blond man.

Seemingly dissatisfied with his indifferent reaction, the blond man suddenly let out a contemptuous and mocking laugh.

"Someone with your E-rank talent, a piece of trash, managed to increase your HP by 0.15 points in a month? Could it be that your useless soldier father died and you used his death benefits to buy tonics?"

The classroom fell silent.

Jiang Yuan stopped and turned to look at the blond boy, coldly asking, "What did you just say?"
