2: Strange phenomena in heaven and earth, S-level talent appears

Thunder descended from the sky!

Seeing the cloudless sky suddenly surge with clouds, a large patch of dark clouds enveloped the playground of No. 1 High School, causing everyone to be stunned.

The next second, a deafening thunderclap suddenly rang out, and a thumb-thick lightning bolt streaked across the sky, shaking everyone's eardrums.

Principal Wang Changyuan's body trembled with excitement: "This is... this is an anomaly, a phenomenon that only occurs when an S-Rank Talent appears!"

S-Rank Talents or higher are too powerful; their appearance is often accompanied by a heaven-and-earth anomaly.

Awakening S-Rank Talent: Thunder Control.

Principal Wang Changyuan's excitement was beyond words; in his decades of running the school, the number of S-Rank Talents that had appeared could be counted on one hand.

Every time an S-Rank appeared, the school would experience a surge of popularity, with countless students scrambling to get into No. 1 High School.

It's just a pity that S-Rank Talents are too rare.

Even within Jiangbei, the number of students who awaken S-Rank Talents each year is very few.

Therefore, Wang Changyuan simply couldn't calm down.

"Good, good, good, Xia Qi of Class Four, your Talent is extremely powerful, and your future prospects are limitless."

Three 'good's in a row, coupled with the principal's expression and tone, made all thousands of students present filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"What kind of luck does Xia Qi have, to actually awaken an S-Rank Talent!"

"Damn it, I'm so envious and hateful; how great would it be if that S-Rank Talent were mine."

"My goodness, this is the first time I've seen an S-Rank Talent; no wonder the principal's face is practically beaming."

"That Su Yuanchen in front is probably going to be furious; he just awakened an A-Rank Talent not long ago, and now this S-Rank Talent has appeared, and it's an elemental Talent related to lightning."

.......

Xia Qi's Awakening caused a sensation among his classmates, who looked at him with envy.

Su Yuanchen, also from Class Four, gnashed his teeth in hatred; the power of Thunder Control was far more impressive than his High-Voltage Arc.

Damn it, he was just in the limelight, but now Xia Qi has stolen it.

At this moment, the class beauty Yun Qingyue walked over, revealing her cute little tiger teeth, "Xia Qi, congratulations! I knew you could do it. Didn't you just awaken an S-Rank Talent? That's really amazing!"

"Thank you!"

Xia Qi, in a good mood, simply replied, his thoughts mostly immersed in the attribute panel of his Talent.

Thunder Control (Copied).

Quality: S-Rank.

Effect: You can control lightning; the thunder of the ten directions will obey your command.

A simple description of the effect, yet incredibly powerful.

Controlling lightning, isn't that a Talent only gods can wield?

This is only an S-Rank Talent; what about SS-Rank or SSS-Rank Talents?

Xia Qi also realized at this point why those with S-Rank Talents in this world had already become superior beings; their powerful and overbearing abilities were far beyond what ordinary Talents could compare to.

"Next, Class Four, Yun Qingyue."

As the excitement of Xia Qi's S-Rank Talent Awakening slightly receded, the principal, beaming, continued the Awakening ceremony.

When Yun Qingyue, the class beauty of Class Four, walked towards the Awakening formation in a pristine white dress.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on her.

"Look quickly, the class beauty of Class Four is about to awaken!"

"Nonsense, she's not just the class beauty; she's the school beauty of our No. 1 High School."

"I wonder what Talent she will awaken?"

"Let me tell you some inside information: Yun Qingyue's family background is not simple. It's said that her father is an 80-Rank Archmage, one of the top ten powerhouses in our Jiangcheng."

"Yes, and her mother is not simple either, a 65-Rank Swift Archer; they are considered a prominent family in Jiangcheng."

"Yun Qingyue's minimum is an A-Rank Talent, and there's even a high probability it's an S-Rank; her family simply doesn't lack resources."

At this point, everyone couldn't help but feel a wave of envy.

Such a family background could help Yun Qingyue lay a strong physical foundation.

Furthermore, with such excellent Bloodlines from their parents, children generally wouldn't be too bad, and might even improve further.

In this world, the strong get stronger, while the weak find it very difficult to rise.

It can only be said that there are indeed differences between people.

Destiny simply cannot be compared.

Xia Qi also snapped out of his attribute panel at this moment and looked at Yun Qingyue curiously.

He wondered what kind of Talent she would obtain.

If it was an A-Rank Talent, he would definitely copy it.

From what it seemed, his left eye's copying ability didn't seem to have any restrictions; as long as it was an A-Rank Talent, no matter the quantity, he could copy it.

While everyone watched, Yun Qingyue had already entered the Awakening formation.

Immediately after, the formation rotated rapidly, and countless dazzling lights enveloped Yun Qingyue.

The next moment, a blinding light burst forth again, the air began to twist, and above the sky, a scorching sun actually appeared, burning people's skin until it stung.

Everyone instinctively closed their eyes.

When they opened their eyes again, the scorching sun suspended above them had already disappeared.

"Another S-Rank Talent! Heaven bless our No. 1 High School!"

Principal Wang Changyuan's mood at this moment could no longer be described as just excited.

It truly felt like smoke was rising from his ancestral grave!

For a school to produce two S-Rank Talent powerhouses simultaneously, in his decades as principal, this was a first-time encounter.

What else could this be if not smoke rising from his ancestral grave?!

Awakening S-Rank Talent: Heart of Blazing Fire!

Hearing the news announced by the principal, at this moment, all the students were once again moved.

"Damn it, it's just that comparing people makes you furious; another S-Rank Talent."

"With such a family, I can accept an S-Rank Awakening, but Xia Qi's family is similar to ours, and he also has an S-Rank Talent, which is truly infuriating."

"You didn't mention it, and I forgot. Xia Qi, how can you be on the same Rank as the school beauty~"

......

As Yun Qingyue awakened her S-Rank Talent, Yun Qingyue did not become the hot topic; instead, Xia Qi became the target of everyone's ire.

Damn it, why is it that you, Xia Qi, are S-Rank, a being that everyone looks up to?

I also want to be on the same Rank as the school beauty!

Xia Qi, in the Class Four camp, could only sigh silently. Who knew that an A-Rank Talent would become S-Rank after being amplified by his right eye?

He hadn't anticipated so much.

Next, classmates who had awakened their Talents left one after another; there was no need for them to stay here, and it was better to go back and quickly familiarize themselves with their Talents.

Only Xia Qi remained on the playground, watching.

As time passed by minute by minute, until the last classmate had completed their Awakening.

At this point, Xia Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His Talent panel had already copied nine Talents, plus the S-Rank Thunder Control.

A total of ten Talents were prominently displayed before his eyes!
