SSS level, super talent

Blue Star, Xia Nation.

Jiangcheng, Binjiang No. 1 Middle School, Job Transfer Ceremony...

Lin Xuan stood blankly on the square.

The memories in his mind churned like a soy milk machine.

This feeling was like carsickness, impossible to alleviate.

Just then, bursts of blue light erupted in the distance, and an ethereal voice rang out.

"Zhang Fan, rare profession, Flowing Wind Knight!"

Whoosh—

The noisy applause and congratulations in his ears crashed into his mind.

Perhaps it was the familiarity with the name Zhang Fan that stopped the memories in his mind from churning.

"Hoo—"

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Xuan let out a long breath, and his whole body relaxed.

After clearly seeing his surroundings, he helplessly slapped his forehead.

"No way, where did this bring me? Is this still the real world?"

By this point, Lin Xuan already understood that he had transmigrated.

The problem was, this turned out to be a dangerous world where games merged with reality, monsters ran rampant, everyone underwent job transfers, and people evolved by fighting monsters!

"Others transmigrate to ancient times, to harems, to cultivation worlds, but for me, the setting is this absurd?"

Lin Xuan, who had read many web novels from Fanqie, quickly adjusted after a brief moment of surprise.

Because he found that he now fit the protagonist template of a novel.

Transmigration, handsome.

Of course, there was also the common orphan identity of a transmigrator.

"Alright, pretty ruthless."

Lin Xuan composed himself and stopped dwelling on it.

Just then.

A pair of soft touches suddenly came from his arm.

"Lin Xuan, Zhang Fan is actually the first person in our school to awaken a rare profession. He really lives up to being your deskmate."

Even though he had always been single since birth, Lin Xuan knew what was happening.

He turned his head to look.

Sure enough, there was a girl holding and shaking his arm.

She had phoenix eyes, thin lips, and healthy wheat-colored skin.

She was also quite pretty.

Lin Xuan now remembered the girl's name: Liu Ruyan.

Binjiang No. 1 Middle School wasn't large, located in a poor area.

Due to nutrition and environment, Liu Ruyan's appearance was already considered that of a campus belle.

However, Lin Xuan learned from his memories that Liu Ruyan was actually his female simp.

"A female simp... that's quite rare."

In the era of universal job transfer, everyone reaching eighteen years old would collectively participate in an awakening ceremony.

The awakening ceremony allowed people to transfer into professions similar to those in games, such as Mages, Warriors, and Archers.

Professions were divided into three types based on potential and rarity: Common, Rare, and Hidden.

Normally, during awakening, job transfers were random among the three levels of professions.

However, the probability of successfully transferring to a Rare or Hidden profession was less than one in ten thousand.

Nevertheless, in recent years, humanity had developed an instrument to test mental power and summarized a set of rules.

The higher one's mental power before awakening, the higher the possibility of transferring to a rarer profession.

Lin Xuan's mental power was as high as 108, the highest since Binjiang No. 1 Middle School was founded!

He was considered by many teachers and students to be certain to awaken a Hidden profession today!

Because of this, Lin Xuan had many female admirers at school.

Liu Ruyan, with her outstanding looks and their childhood relationship, had always held the top spot.

However, Lin Xuan had a calm personality, preferred quiet, and had always refused her advances.

But Liu Ruyan never backed down, effectively becoming a female simp.

"What a cliché transmigration opening. Next, will I awaken a Common profession and she awaken an Ice-element Hidden profession?"

Thinking of the evaluation of Liu Ruyan in his memories, Lin Xuan shook his head.

While he was contemplating, his name rang out over the broadcast.

"Zhang Wei, Common profession, Berserker!"

"Next awakener, Lin Xuan."

Hearing his name, Lin Xuan came back to his senses and walked towards the awakening platform.

"Lin Xuan, go for it!" Liu Ruyan clenched her fist.

Without paying much attention.

Lin Xuan didn't look back and had already stepped onto the job transfer platform.

In front was a giant magic crystal ball more than five meters tall.

The job transfer platform's height was exactly half of the crystal ball's.

Seeing Lin Xuan ascend the platform, the teacher presiding over the job transfer ceremony smiled and led him forward.

"Lin Xuan, just follow what you've learned as usual."

Lin Xuan nodded in response, quietly stepped forward, and placed his hand on the crystal ball.

Five seconds later, the crystal ball emitted a faint blue light.

"Lin Xuan, Common profession, Necromancer."

After reading the job transfer information.

The teacher presiding over the ceremony sighed softly and comforted him.

"Lin Xuan, although you didn't get a Hidden profession, the potential of an Necromancer is also very great."

"Work hard to level up, and you can still achieve great things in the future."

"Teacher, I'm fine." Lin Xuan responded with a faint smile, then returned to his class's designated area.

Along the way, many students expressed their pity.

"What a shame, how could he awaken as a Common profession, an Necromancer?"

"What's wrong with an Necromancer? Higher mental power only means a greater chance of awakening special professions and talents."

"Besides, Necromancer isn't bad at all, its potential ceiling is even higher than some Rare professions."

"That's true, but I'm feeling sorry for Senior Lin Xuan."

"He studied and trained so hard at school, and his mental power is so high, yet he awakened a Common profession. It's simply unfair."

"You're too rigid. A Common profession just means it's more common, not absolutely weak."

"Overseas, there's Einstein, who reached the global peak with the Common profession of Arcanist."

"And in our Xia Nation, there's General Li, a Common profession Sword Cultivator, guarding our national destiny..."

Listening to his classmates' discussions, Lin Xuan was a little surprised.

He had expected various taunts, like in cliché novels.

He didn't expect more concern and pity.

"True, the world is already so dangerous, and everyone's high school students. What kind of grudges could there be?"

Sighing twice in his heart, Lin Xuan found his class's location.

At this moment, Liu Ruyan was no longer in his original seat.

Instead, there was a young man with a distinguished demeanor.

Zhang Fan, his deskmate and good friend.

"Haha, Xiao Xuan, I finally have one thing I'm stronger at than you."

Zhang Fan saw Lin Xuan return, came forward and put his arm around his shoulder, asking.

"How about it, for the college entrance exam in a week, will you choose the academic or the combat exam?"

The academic and combat exams were two different college entrance exam modes established by Xia Nation after the game-reality merge and the Blue Star Cataclysm.

The academic exam only tested academic knowledge.

The combat exam required actual combat assessment by fighting monsters.

After the results of both types of exams were released, they were converted proportionally and ranked uniformly.

This led to most students choosing the academic exam.

After all, the combat exam had life-threatening risks.

However, in recent years, the trend had shifted.

Many top universities began to recruit a large number of combat exam students.

Some large guilds even only recruited combat exam students.

Because of this, high school seniors began to struggle with their choices.

"That... I haven't decided yet. Are you going to choose the combat exam?"

Lin Xuan looked at his friend beside him.

Zhang Fan was a transfer student who came at the end of his first year of high school.

Although they had only known each other for two years, their personalities were compatible, and their relationship was very strong.

At this moment, he kept pulling him to talk about the college entrance exam, not about his profession.

He probably wanted to divert his attention.

Lin Xuan, for a moment, couldn't just tell him that he was actually fine.

After all, regarding the job transfer to Necromancer after transmigration.

As a gamer, he didn't think it was bad at all.

Necromancer was a high-potential profession that could summon, deal damage.

And had soul and curse control skills.

The criticized aspects.

Were simply that the summoned skeletons were few and weak in the early stages.

Once the skeletons died.

As a squishy mage, he would basically lose combat capability.

"I should choose the combat exam." Zhang Fan sighed lightly at this moment.

"You know our family's style, even if I wasn't a Rare profession, they would still make me choose the combat exam."

"Xiao Xuan, regarding your profession, I know with your personality, you'll adjust quickly."

"But for the exam, although you've taken first place in the city-wide joint exams three times, I still advise you to choose the combat exam."

"Although the combat exam has life-threatening risks and will make you lose some advantages, there are more opportunities."

"I heard from my family that all universities will expand enrollment this year and even only recruit combat exam students. It's said to be due to policies from above."

"You know, in these years of professional national wars, our country has repeatedly suffered losses."

"There's even suspicion of being targeted by other smaller countries in alliance..."

Zhang Fan had a deep family background. The information he occasionally mentioned was even difficult to find online.

However, professional national wars were famous events.

They were battlefields where various countries on Blue Star resolved conflicts and allocated resources.

Xia Nation once relied on the Sword Cultivator, General Li, to suppress other countries with a single sword, leaving them breathless.

Until these years, his level became too high, and he could no longer participate.

Those scared smaller countries began to make small moves, causing Xia Nation to lose many resources.

Now, it seemed Xia Nation was about to take action.

The two chatted on the side.

Lin Xuan took the opportunity to open his personal panel.

Everyone who awakened a profession would unlock this ability.

This was his first time opening it, and there was a novel, cross-dimensional feeling.

[Name: Lin Xuan]

[Profession: Necromancer]

[Level: Lv1]

[HP: 100]

[MP: 50]

[Constitution: 10, Spirit: 10, Strength: 5, Agility: 5]

[Skill: Summon Undead Lv1]

[Talent: Life Resonance · SSS]

「Life Resonance」: Skill casting can trigger a Life Resonance effect.

「Effect 1」: Defense is permanently zero, but each time a spell is cast, the maximum HP is permanently increased by the MP consumed by the skill.

「Effect 2」: If the skill is damage-based, each attack can deal 5% of the enemy's lost HP as true damage.

The four-dimensional attributes were not bad.

However, the Spirit attribute was very different from the mental power detected by the school.

He wondered what indicator the person who developed the mental power detection instrument used for detection.

However, these were not the main points.

Lin Xuan's gaze fell on the talent section.

"SSS-rank talent, Life Resonance!"

Seeing the talent description, Lin Xuan felt a little excited.

The talent's function was very simple.

However much MP he consumed, he could stack that much maximum HP.

Skill output, the more HP the target lost, the higher the damage!

It had both survivability and output!

Of course, this characteristic was very strong against high-HP BOSSes.

It was somewhat weak against professional combatants.

But Lin Xuan wasn't worried.

In his memories, there were many skills in this world that could increase damage based on HP.

The most famous one was Splitting Mount Hua.

For every ten thousand HP, physical damage could be doubled.

In the future, when his HP reached the millions, even as a Mage, he could easily instantly kill people.

What's more, millions of HP was not his limit.

And there were also skills that boosted magic damage.

"I remember the Blue Star Cataclysm happened a few hundred years ago."

"Jiangcheng has accumulated at least hundreds of millions of awakened professionals."

"But the school's database shows that only a hundred people possess talents!"

"Teachers even once said that in Jiangcheng's history, the person with the highest level and a talent was A-rank talent!"

"And SSS-rank talent is called a Transcendent Talent!"

"Only two people globally have awakened it!"

"Now, I am the third!"

Lin Xuan's eyes flickered as he let out a long breath.

Suppressing the uncontrollable excitement in his heart.

Just then, an impassioned voice rang out over the broadcast.

"Liu Ruyan, Hidden profession..."
