This scene.

Not only did it leave Principal Xiao Jianguo dumbfounded, but everyone in the audience was also deeply shocked!

The shadow... stood up?

Xu Anyan's talent is quite bizarre, isn't it?

"This..."

Xiao Jianguo was momentarily speechless.

He had been the principal of Lan City No. 1 High School for nearly twenty years and had seen all sorts of strange and peculiar talent practitioners.

But he had never seen a talent that could manipulate shadows!

After observing the mysterious shadow for a while, he tentatively asked: "Can it attack?"

Xu Anyan nodded.

Then she controlled the shadow to perform various combat moves.

Punching, stabbing, kicking...

Xiao Jianguo's eyes widened as he felt the power and force of the shadow's punches and kicks, utterly amazed: "A tangible shadow!?"

Compared to his shock.

Xu Anyan was much calmer.

Combat?

This was just one of the basic abilities of her Shadow Attendant.

Their true strength was far beyond this.

Otherwise, in the vast universe.

Among the endless races and ancient forces, there were countless prodigies, divine sons, and holy daughters.

Their combat talents were unimaginably terrifying!

So why was it her, an unremarkable person from a fringe planet, who eventually stepped into the Emperor Realm, dominated the star domain, and ruled a territory?

Of course.

She didn't need to reveal any of this to outsiders.

"Very good... very good, you may step down now. An SSS-level talent is enough to earn you the highest level of resource allocation!"

Xiao Jianguo was extremely excited.

If he remembered correctly, the strongest talent in Lan City's history was only Grade S.

Now, an SSS-level talent had appeared, which would definitely cause a sensation!

Xu Anyan nodded lightly.

And as she stepped down from the awakening platform.

The way everyone looked at her had completely changed.

This novel is available on "pawread dot com".

If Xu Anyan was once the goddess everyone admired, the dream girl of all the boys in school.

Now.

After awakening an SSS-level talent.

She had become an unattainable deity.

Destined to be in a different world from them.

***

Time passed bit by bit.

After Xu Anyan, the school replaced the Talent Detection Stone with a new one.

The talents that appeared afterward were also extremely rare, and even if there were any, they were only around Grade D or C.

Finally.

It was the turn of Class 3, where Su Yuan was.

One by one, they took the stage...

Suddenly.

The Talent Testing Stone burst into a dazzling light again.

Although it was much weaker than the light Xu Anyan had caused, it reached the level of Grade A!

"Holy crap! It's Grade A!"

"Oh my god!"

"Amazing!"

Amid the cheers of the crowd.

Su Yuan looked up.

Well.

He wondered who it was.

It turned out to be that guy, Zheng Yuan.

Zheng Yuan— Su Yuan's good buddy.

Initially, the two met because of Xu Anyan.

Zheng Yuan had a crush on Xu Anyan for a long time.

Upon learning that Su Yuan was staying at Xu Anyan's house, he directly acknowledged Su Yuan as his 'godfather', just hoping he could provide more information about Xu Anyan.

Unfortunately.

Su Yuan himself wasn't very familiar with Xu Anyan.

What information could he provide?

After hitting a wall several times, Zheng Yuan realized there was no chance between him and Xu Anyan, and he completely gave up on the idea.

But in the process, he and Su Yuan became brothers, and their relationship was excellent.

At this moment, Zheng Yuan on the stage was surrounded by blazing flames, clearly having awakened a Flame Talent from the Elemental-Type.

It looked incredibly cool, drawing envy and jealousy from countless people.

Principal Xiao Jianguo's old face was smiling brighter than a chrysanthemum.

An SSS-level talent bearer.

An A-level talent bearer.

Lan City No. 1 High School was having an exceptional year!

After the awakening was complete.

Zheng Yuan stepped down from the awakening platform.

Amidst everyone's gaze, he returned to Su Yuan's side.

He chuckled, snapped his fingers.

A ball of blazing flame appeared out of thin air at his fingertips.

He gave Su Yuan a smug look: "Yuan bro? Cool or not?"

Su Yuan grinned: "Cool."

Zheng Yuan tossed his hair flamboyantly: "Too bad I'm not an SSS-level talent, or I'd launch another offensive on Goddess Xu."

Su Yuan laughed: "Even if you were an SSS-level talent, it wouldn't work. That girl... there's probably no one in the world who can make her smile. She's naturally cold."

Zheng Yuan wholeheartedly agreed.

At this moment, a discordant voice rang out: "Ridiculous, it's just that she doesn't fancy you, so she puts on a cold face."

Su Yuan raised an eyebrow, not needing to turn his head to know who was speaking.

Zhao Rizhu.

The son of the dean, Zhao Rigou.

He looked like a skinny monkey, with a horse face full of pimples.

Originally, his father had sent him to Class 1, but his grades were too poor, and he ended up back in Class 3, becoming a laughingstock for many.

"Horse-face pig, is it your turn to speak?"

Zheng Yuan retorted unceremoniously.

Now that he had awakened an A-level talent, he was considered a genius.

He wasn't afraid of Zhao Rizhu at all.

Zhao Rizhu's face immediately changed, his eyes burning with anger.

What he cared about most in his life was his horse face, and his name had a 'Zhu', which sounded like 'pig'.

The nickname 'horse-face pig' was something he detested the most.

However.

His eyes rolled.

He let out a couple of sinister laughs.

"Heh heh. You probably haven't heard, no matter how cold a woman is, in front of a man who can handle her, she's as passionate as fire...

Just watch, if I awaken an SSS-level talent later, I'll make sure to handle her thoroughly."

At this point, he changed the subject, casting a strange glance at Su Yuan:"By the way. Seeing how cold she is to you... you didn't secretly do something bad at her house, did you, making her hate you?

For example... stealing her intimate clothing to soothe your restless heart?"

Zheng Yuan frowned upon hearing this: "Why the hell are you so perverted?"

Su Yuan raised his hand, signaling Zheng Yuan to stop.

"Yuan bro?"

Zheng Yuan turned his head, looking at Su Yuan in confusion.

But Su Yuan just grinned: "What's the use of talking to someone like this? A rat in the gutter, filthy and disgusting inside, needs Holy Light to purify his heart."

"Holy... Holy Light?"

Zheng Yuan was dumbfounded.

Su Yuan didn't explain, he just raised his hand.

Then delivered a solid punch to that detestable horse face.

"Ah!"

Zhao Rizhu let out a scream.

He hadn't expected Su Yuan to make a move in front of so many people, and he didn't react in time.

The intense pain made his eyes fill with stars, tears streaming down as he clutched his nose, wailing: "Damn you!"

Su Yuan turned back, shaking his fist at Zheng Yuan, smiling: "That's Holy Light!"

Zheng Yuan blinked, then gave a thumbs up: "Awesome!"

The commotion here.

Quickly caught the attention of the teachers.

Homeroom teacher Old Wu hurried over, looking stern: "This is the Awakening Ceremony, what are you doing!"

Zhao Rizhu clutched his nose, tears and snot flowing: "Su Yuan hit me!"

Zheng Yuan, on the other hand, explained the whole story in detail.

After Old Wu listened, he couldn't hide his disgust as he looked at Zhao Rizhu.

The dean, Zhao Rigou, was known for being arrogant and currying favor with the powerful, something everyone in the school knew.

Hating him by association, the upright Old Wu naturally didn't have a good impression of Zhao Rizhu either.

Unfortunately.

Just as he was about to reprimand Zhao Rizhu.

The staff on the awakening platform happened to call Zhao Rizhu's name.

Zhao Rizhu clutched his nose, wincing in pain, and as he passed by Su Yuan, he glared at him viciously: "You just wait!"

***

After Zhao Rizhu left.

Zheng Yuan spat.

"Trash, this kind of person is just scum."

"Yuan bro, don't mind him, just treat him like a fart and let it go."

"If you ask me, if he can awaken a talent, then god must be blind..."
