"Holy crap!"

"This Sacred Body is truly Heaven-Defying!"

"It levels up on its own every second, and my basic attributes have been multiplied by ten!"

"Plus Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability and an SSS-Rank Supernatural Ability that could awaken at any time!"

"The leveling effect even doubles during combat!"

"This is awesome!"

"Hmph... Jiang Family..."

"Even without you, I can still rise to the top!"

A sharp glint flashed in Jiang Ling's eyes.

"Ding! Sensing the host's boundless hatred, the Infinite Awakening effect has been triggered. The F-Rank Supernatural Ability, Weak Electricity, has mutated and promoted to the SSS-Rank World-Ending Divine Thunder!"

Rumble...

In an instant, dark clouds suddenly loomed over the entirety of Yue City, blotting out the sun and moon as countless bolts of lightning rolled and brewed within!

Crackle...

Countless bolts of lightning intertwined like an electrical grid, as if the world had reached its end and was about to be utterly destroyed by this Divine Thunder.

Everyone in Yue City was shocked in an instant.

"What's going on?"

"It's broad daylight, why are there suddenly dark clouds and flashing lightning?"

"Is some lightning-element powerhouse showing off their might?"

"It looks like heavenly punishment. Could it be the power of the heavens?"

"Nonsense, what heavens?"

"This is clearly a powerful Supernatural Ability manifesting in the world!"

"Manifesting? Could this be a sign of someone Awakening their Supernatural Ability?"

"I remember some time ago, when Huo Lingyun of the Huo Family in Jinling City awakened the SSS-Rank Fire Element Ability, Undying Divine Phoenix, there was a shocking phenomenon just like this!"

"At that time, it seemed like the entire Jinling City was going to be burned to ashes!"

"And then there's Young Master Jiang Ting of our Yue City's Jiang Family; when his SS-Rank ability, Archangels Sword, appeared, the sky was filled with Sword Qi as if it would slash through everything!"

"Could it be that another lightning-element Genius has appeared in our Yue City?"

"But hasn't the Awakening ceremony already ended long ago?"

"How could such a shocking phenomenon still appear?"

...

Jiang Family.

Grandfather Jiang Wei and Jiang Haoyan were in the middle of cursing Jiang Ling, that rebellious son of the Jiang Family, with the Elders when they were suddenly taken aback by this phenomenon.

"What's happening?"

"Who awakened a lightning-element Supernatural Ability?"

"This is at least SSS-Rank!"

"But the Awakening ceremony is already over!"

"Perhaps some families conducted their own Awakening ceremonies. Yue City has produced another Genius!"

"An SSS-Rank Genius, even higher than Jiang Ting!"

"If we can win them over to our Jiang Family, our future will be absolutely limitless!"

"Quick!"

"Quickly send someone to investigate exactly who awakened an SSS-Rank Supernatural Ability!"

...

Jiang Ling stood before the main gate of the Jiang Family, looking at the startling phenomenon in the sky and feeling the powerful lightning energy within his body. He felt so good he almost wanted to shout.

This was the feeling of power.

Glancing back at the Jiang Family gate, Jiang Ling gave a cold sneer and walked away quickly.

Jiang Ling first went to the outskirts of Yue City and found a room to rent as a temporary place to stay.

Next, he had to figure out how he was going to support himself in the future.

"The simplest way to make money is to go to a Secret Realm, hunt exotic beasts, and sell Materials!"

"Even though I'm only Rank 5 right now, with the boost from the Chaos Sacred Body, all my basic attributes have been multiplied by ten. Dealing with ordinary exotic beasts shouldn't be a problem!"

The next day, upon waking up, Jiang Ling discovered that his Realm had actually increased from 4.745% of Rank 5 to 5.255%!

"This Sacred Body is truly incredible; I can even level up while sleeping!"

After getting up and having a simple breakfast, Jiang Ling went to a weapon shop to buy the cheapest steel saber before heading to the nearest Secret Realm outside Yue City.

This Secret Realm was named M18. The levels of the exotic beasts inside weren't very high, making it very suitable for newcomers to train.

After arriving outside the city, he took a public bus that went directly to the M18 Secret Realm.

On the bus, there were many boys and girls around Jiang Ling's age, their faces glowing with excitement. Clearly, they were also heading to the Secret Realm for training.

After their talents awakened, students had to start preparing for the College Entrance Examination.

The exam format for the College Entrance Examination was based on the number of exotic beasts a student hunted, so students had to gain practical combat experience in advance.

Normally, students wouldn't go to a Secret Realm to train alone; they would either hire an expert for protection or join a training class.

Children from wealthy families usually hired a powerful individual to accompany them, which provided better practical results and was safer.

However, most families couldn't afford a private protector and could only sign up for a training class.

In a training class, one teacher would lead over a dozen students. While not as effective, it still provided a certain level of training.

After buying the steel saber, Jiang Ling didn't even have enough money left to join a training class, so he could only go by himself.

This kind of training would be very effective, but the risk factor was also extremely high. One mistake could cost him his life.

In the blink of an eye, the bus reached its stop, and a group of young people cheered as they hopped off.

Jiang Ling was the last one out. Looking ahead, he saw a military camp stretching for several miles.

Humans can enter Secret Realms, and monsters from those Realms can also enter the human world.

In fact, many exotic beasts, monsters, and alien races from the Secret Realms are already hidden within the human world.

Therefore, every Secret Realm entrance must be guarded by the military.

Following the road through the middle of the military camp, he soon arrived at a large open space.

Around the perimeter of the open space, there were many stalls selling weapons, armor, Medicinal Pills, potions, and food, as well as training classes recruiting students. It was quite bustling, like a vegetable market.

In the center of the open space was a massive blue vortex over ten meters high, occasionally emitting bolts of lightning.

This was the portal leading to the Secret Realm.

"Little brother, I see you came alone. You must be looking for a training class. Our class is a well-established brand. We guarantee you'll kill an exotic beast yourself and return safely..."

As soon as Jiang Ling approached, a young man ran over with a flyer, promoting a training class.

Jiang Ling shook his head and said, "No need!"

Then he strode toward the Secret Realm.

"Wants to enter the Secret Realm alone?"

"Truly seeking death!"

The young man curled his lip.

Jiang Ling arrived in front of the massive vortex. As he stepped one foot inside, he immediately felt a powerful pulling force.

The next moment, a dazzling blue light flashed before his eyes, and he found himself in a lush, green forest.
