Overpowered!

This is way too freaking overpowered!

These skills, these attributes!

It's simply more monstrous than a monster!

Looking at his own panel, even with the mental fortitude Lu Yin had gained from living two lives, he couldn't help but feel wild joy in his heart.

As for the silence outside, no one knew how long it lasted.

"I @￥@#%！@"

"Six Life Marks! Plus... plus a 3-star Mythic Class! Damn it! He deserves to be struck by lightning!"

In an instant, countless gazes filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred almost burned through the figure on the altar.

"Quick! Help... help me up!"

Principal Qin Chuan's trembling voice carried a near-manic persistence.

Like a lump of soft mud, he was held by the arms by two teachers and forcibly "dragged" up from the ground.

"Child... quick! Your... your class panel..."

"Let... let me see... let me see exactly what kind of existence this is!"

"Don't worry... I will absolutely not tell anyone about your skills."

"Principal! Calm down!"

The two teachers supporting him were sweating profusely with anxiety, fearing that Qin Chuan wouldn't be able to handle the shock and would pass out again.

"To... to be able to see a panel with full Life Marks, this old man... this old man can die happy!"

However, Qin Chuan completely ignored their advice, acting as if he were possessed.

Lu Yin looked at the teetering Qin Chuan, whose eyes were nevertheless incredibly burning.

He took a deep breath and nodded.

He knew that his exploits today would surely be known throughout the city before long.

Since that was the case, there was no need to hide things.

"3-star Mythic Class, full Life Marks... looking at the skill descriptions, it should belong to the summoning type."

"Good, good, very good!"

Qin Chuan's demeanor was a bit frantic, but fortunately, after experiencing the series of shocks from earlier, he had built up a fair amount of resistance.

"Child, go back to your group first. Come to my office in a while; I have some things to discuss with you."

After a moment of recovery, Qin Chuan spoke.

After saying that, he returned to the presiding altar and said loudly.

"Students, the God-Awakening Ceremony has concluded. This means that all of you have become Professionals."

"Whether you have a lifestyle class or a combat class, you must hone your skills well."

"One month from now will be the day of our Habitable Planet No. 35's Grand Exam. I hope you can all enter the academy of your choice!"

"Tomorrow, the school will organize everyone to enter the Beginner Dungeon. Everyone should go back today and prepare your equipment and medicine."

"I wish you all a bright future!"

Following Qin Chuan's impassioned speech, the enthusiasm of the many students was also ignited.

Of course, most of those who were excited were the students who had obtained combat classes.

And Lu Yin, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, walked back to his class's position.

The surrounding students subconsciously made a path for him.

Their gazes, either in awe or jealousy, intertwined upon him.

"Lu Yin... you..."

A classmate who was usually relatively close to him opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Lu Yin only gave him a slight nod and didn't say much, walking straight to the back of the class line.

He could clearly hear the irrepressible whispers around him.

"Six Life Marks... a Mythic Class..."

"When was the last time our Habitable Planet No. 35 produced a Mythic Class? Fifty years ago?"

"Sigh, comparing yourself to others only leads to frustration; comparing goods only leads to throwing them away..."

...

Amidst the joy and sorrow of many students, the God-Awakening Ceremony came to a successful conclusion.

Afterward, Lu Yin was called to Qin Chuan's office.

Qin Chuan's office was spacious and ancient, with various classics about Professionals and human history neatly arranged on the bookshelves.

A faint scent of ink permeated the air, forming a sharp contrast with the faint clamor coming from outside the window.

When Lu Yin pushed the door and entered, Qin Chuan was sitting behind a large desk.

His expression had returned to calm, but an irrepressible excitement still lingered in his eyes.

"You're here."

Seeing Lu Yin, Qin Chuan greeted him warmly.

"Hello, Principal."

"Yes, sit down. I didn't call you here for anything else."

"I just wanted to ask if you have an academy in mind."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yin spoke truthfully.

"I want to apply for the Holy Hall Academy."

The Holy Hall Academy was one of the top academies on Habitable Planet No. 35.

Every student who could enter it was without exception a powerful genius.

Last year, in their entire Tianyang City, only five people had been admitted.

"Mm, very good."

"A Mythic Class with full Life Marks—even the Holy Hall Academy will be fighting to have you."

"However, there is one thing you should also be clear about: a genius who fails to grow up is not a genius."

Lu Yin nodded upon hearing this.

"I understand."

His class was indeed powerful, but a Professional's strength did not rely entirely on the class itself.

Level, equipment, and skills—none could be lacking.

Qin Chuan nodded in satisfaction, then took an exquisite wooden box from a drawer and pushed it in front of Lu Yin.

"Inside is a Silver Card from the Professional Association, containing one hundred thousand star essence. Consider it a bit of personal support from me."

The Professional Association was the largest organization for Professionals established by all of humanity.

All Professionals could register as members to conduct online transactions and obtain missions at associations everywhere.

Lu Yin looked at the wooden box with a slightly stunned expression. He was about to decline, but was stopped by Qin Chuan raising his hand.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse. Your class is too special, and the resources you need will far exceed those of ordinary people."

"This hundred thousand star coins might not be much to you, but at least it can help you purchase some basic equipment."

Lu Yin was silent for a moment before solemnly taking the wooden box: "Thank you, Principal."

"Haha, it's only right. Besides this Silver Card, there is also an item inside that will be of great help to you."
