2: Chapter 2: Invincible! Anyone I glare at dies!

At this moment.

All the strange phenomena had disappeared.

All that could be seen was that line of cold text.

The gazes of everyone present couldn't help but enter a second wave of shock, immediately followed by bewilderment.

Such a massive commotion just now.

How could he have awakened only a D-rank Talent?

Successor of Ancient Body Tempering, could it be that the commotion was just because of the two words 'Ancient'?

"Is the formation malfunctioning?"

Several school leaders immediately stood up and went to inspect the formation.

But after an inspection, the formation showed no problems whatsoever.

This meant...

Li Fan really only awakened a D-rank Talent.

Although the Talent was named 'Successor of Ancient Body Tempering,' sounding quite impressive,

it ultimately was just a Talent for physical training.

This result was momentarily very difficult for the school leaders to accept.

They had originally thought they had found someone great.

But unexpectedly, they had pulled a huge load of nonsense!

All that excitement was for nothing!

As for the students below, regarding Li Fan's result, there was ridicule, there was emotion, and there was regret.

But the majority was clearly ridicule.

It couldn't be helped.

They truly never expected that the top student of the entire high school for three years would awaken a pitiful D-rank Talent.

Talents of this level weren't significantly different from the later E and F ranks.

At best, they could only attend a vocational college or a specialized martial arts school, and after graduation, engage in basic labor requiring brute strength.

In the crowd,

Lin Youwei looked at Li Fan on the stage with complex eyes.

This time, she had defeated Li Fan, and it was a complete crushing victory.

She should have been happy, but for some reason, she couldn't feel happy at all.

In her heart, Li Fan absolutely could not be just a D-rank.

However, the facts were laid out before her eyes.

After taking a deep look at Li Fan on the stage,

Lin Youwei lowered her head, the light in her eyes gradually vanishing, replaced instead by hope for the future.

Although Li Fan's Talent was truly disappointing,

regardless of anything else, Li Fan, as the first opponent in her life, she had already surpassed him.

Next,

her next opponent would come from the Martial Arts University.

...

On the stage,

Facing the reactions of everyone present,

Li Fan didn't care too much.

Because... who said he was only a D-rank?!

Just during the awakening process,

the System had also awakened and given him a cheat skill.

"【Annihilation Eye】"

Because this cheat skill had not yet been merged, Li Fan temporarily could not know its function.

But it could be seen from the strange phenomena just now that it was definitely not simple!

"Li Fan, you can step down now."

At this time, the voice of a school leader sounded, full of regret.

When he returned to the class queue,

what greeted Li Fan were pairs of gloating eyes.

Even the few former lackeys now had faces full of mockery, devoid of their usual flattery.

This was realistic.

But it conformed to the logic of the era.

If your Talent is low, you are useless, and people will look down on you.

However, Li Fan currently had no mind to care about these things.

His entire focus was placed on that cheat skill.

And when passing by Lin Youwei's side,

Lin Youwei suddenly called out to Li Fan.

"Three years, I was the one who laughed in the end. However, I am quite grateful to have had you as an opponent."

"If you need help in the future, I can help you once."

Lin Youwei's expression was calm, a faint, detached smile hanging on her lips.

She wasn't reconciling with Li Fan.

She was concluding her entire high school career.

Li Fan was somewhat surprised.

He didn't expect that Lin Youwei, who should have been the one to ridicule him the most, would not ridicule him, but instead show respect.

As expected of the Lin family's young lady!

This was stature!

But Li Fan also had his own stature.

"The road ahead is long; it’s hard to say who will laugh last."

"But thank you for your kind words, Miss Lin, the campus beauty. If you need help in the future, I can also help you once!"

As soon as these words came out,

Lin Youwei was first stunned, then frowned slightly, and finally let out a smile of relief.

"Okay, if there is ever a chance."

A man's pride,

she would still give him a little consideration.

She didn't believe that she would ever need help from someone with a D-rank Talent in the future.

The conversation between the two instantly caused a stir among the surrounding people.

Without a doubt,

Li Fan once again welcomed a wave of ridicule and mockery.

They felt Li Fan was just being stubborn, forcefully trying to save face.

But Li Fan naturally didn't care at all.

Returning to the queue,

while other students were successively going on stage, Li Fan moved his thoughts and impatiently chose to merge that cheat skill.

The next second,

Li Fan only felt a slight warm current flash through his eyes; the merge was displayed as complete.

As for anything else, there seemed to be no sensation.

"That's it?"

Li Fan was a bit confused, then hurriedly tried to understand the function of this cheat skill.

"【Annihilation Eye】: A conceptual law-based cheat skill! Any living being that appears within the gaze of the host's pupils, the host only needs to have a thought of death, and it will ignore all of the opponent's defenses and strength levels, directly erasing their life force! It can erase individuals separately or eliminate them as a group!"

After reading the cheat skill's function,

Li Fan almost shouted out 'Holy crap!'

This cheat skill was too heaven-defying!

Simply put, it was four words:

"Stare at anyone, they die!"

He was invincible!

But soon,

he discovered a bug.

According to the cheat skill's explanation, his invincibility was conditional upon the target appearing within his field of vision.

But in this current world, there were far too many chaotic Talents.

It was impossible to rule out situations where someone with a sneaky Talent might quietly sneak up and slit his throat before he even saw them.

Or those sniper talents who liked to hide in dark corners and shoot ambush arrows.

Or perhaps those where the gap in strength was too large, and he was instantly killed by a special effect from a thousand miles away.

"It's a good thing I have the Body Tempering Talent to go with it."

"If I can train my physical body well and stack up enough defense values, I can avoid those situations."

Li Fan then remembered his other Talent, Physical Body Strengthening.

If he had an indestructible physical body,

then he could truly achieve invincibility.

But there was one problem:

His Physical Body Strengthening Talent was only D-rank.

It was quite difficult to improve a D-rank Talent.

Subsequently, he couldn't help but look at the introduction for the 【Successor of Ancient Body Tempering】.

【Successor of Ancient Body Tempering】: Originating from ancient times, blessed by the Ancestor of Body Tempering. Every time you exercise, you will stack a certain amount of Strength Value and Defense Value, including mental fortitude (this process has no level restriction and can be increased infinitely). However, the Body Tempering lineage requires strong perseverance, and achieving great success requires even more time to hone.

Looking at this introduction,

Li Fan almost couldn't help but exclaim 'Holy crap!' again.

This Talent was equally simple and crude.

As long as he exercised, he could gain improvement, and he didn't even need to level up.

In other words, as long as he exercised enough, even if his level was only one, his physical stats could crush those Level 100 big shots.

It should be known that in this world, if one doesn't increase their level, once their stats reach a certain height, they can no longer increase because there is an upper limit.

Such a monstrous Talent,

Li Fan truly didn't understand why its rating was only D-rank.

But it didn't matter.

Because this Talent happened to fill in his shortcomings.

What he needed to do next was to train frantically!

As for leveling up, he could occasionally take time to wander around in a Secret Realm.

(Level Setting: Whether human or other creatures, levels start from one. The current maximum level limit is unknown. After Level 100, they are called Transcendent; Level 300 is Quasi-Saint; Level 500 is Saint-rank; Level 800 is Quasi-God; Level 1000 is God-rank.)

(Secret Realm Setting: Before Level 100, they are calculated according to the corresponding level. A Level 100 Secret Realm is called Epic; Level 300 corresponds to Abyss; Level 500 corresponds to Destruction; Level 800 to World-Ending; Level 1000 to God-rank.)
