Chapter 64: S-rank Talent 【My Law Alone】

The first five students to undergo testing each had different levels of talents and strengths, so their battle durations varied greatly.

The one who finished first was the elementary school student with the lowest energy level.

His total energy level was 38 points, a typical F-rank Transcendent.

When the battle ended, however, his combat power evaluation reached as high as 107 points, already reaching E-rank level.

Clearly, this was the effect of his Talent Profession.

Only, his energy level was simply too low.

If he could reach E-rank, he would, like Jiang He, possess the ability to advance into a B-rank Profession. The ratio of combat power to energy level would definitely increase by another notch—

This was exactly the case for the others.

That E-rank student had a total energy level of 320 points, yet his combat power evaluation reached 1638, with a combat-energy ratio of 5.21!

Compared to the elementary student’s ratio of 2.81, it was nearly double!

Clearly, this was the qualitative leap brought by a B-rank Profession!

The other two D-rank students were the same. They had been accumulating for longer, had advanced into multiple B-rank Professions, and had acquired more skills.

Thus, their combat-energy ratios also far surpassed that of the E-rank student, reaching an astounding 7.3.

But the most exaggerated one was the C-rank student.

Just like Du Lingwei, C-rank Transcendents already possessed the ability to advance into an A-rank Profession, ushering in yet another qualitative transformation in strength.

Moreover, because the higher one’s strength ceiling was, the slower their upgrades appeared, C-rank Transcendents had far more time to raise their Profession levels and enrich their foundations.

As such, they usually possessed terrifying bonuses.

This C-rank student’s combat-energy ratio actually skyrocketed to 18.7!!

With a mere 20,000 total energy level, he forced out a final combat power of 374,000!

If this had been his total energy level, even among B-rank Transcendents, he would already count as a powerhouse!

Thus, when he returned to the central stone pillar after his battle, he was greeted with exclamations of awe.

Of course, everyone knew in their hearts despite their astonishment.

Even though this student had produced B-rank combat power, it did not mean he truly possessed the qualification to challenge B-rank Transcendents...

After all, this was only a test.

The 【Metal Knights】 used for testing represented only the “combat power” of Transcendents without any talent skills, a blank slate.

Its purpose was merely to provide a benchmark.

Real B-rank Transcendents also had A-rank Professions, superb talents, and even their own self-created Exclusive Professions.

Their combat-energy ratios would not be weaker, only even more exaggerated.

At equivalent levels of strength, one could never be sure who might surpass whom.

“I’m from Dachang City too!”

“Is it my turn?”

Seeing the results of the first few students’ tests, the anticipation among the others was immediately stoked.

Back in their schools, even casually using Transcendent abilities had been forbidden.

There had never been anything like combat power evaluations.

Now that they witnessed such a thing, how could these young people, who had awakened extraordinary powers, possibly suppress their inner excitement?

Even if not for training camp purposes, they still wanted to know how much combat power they possessed—where they stood among so many geniuses!

In fact, not just them.

Even Old Jiang, who had been quietly standing to the side, perked up.

“Eh, this thing is pretty good.”

“In my timeline, the Steel King had long since fallen... I didn’t expect his talent could create such an interesting toy.”

“Almost makes me want to give it a try...”

Jiang He: “Don’t you dare!”

An X-rank Transcendent coming to crush kids at the Fish Egg Bureau, is that it?

These underage children were still competing over single or double digits in their combat-energy ratios... and then an old man, over a hundred years old, jumps out and casually throws down six or seven digits—higher than all their total combat power combined. Wouldn’t that crush everyone’s mentality completely?

This was no exaggeration. It could very well happen.

After all, by this calculation method—

Back when White Crane fought Principal Jiang, his energy level had been at most 500, the E-rank ceiling.

Principal Jiang had been a top B-rank Transcendent, with 500,000 energy level, at B-rank ceiling, his exact combat power unknown—but by this evaluation method, Principal Jiang’s combat-energy ratio would not have been below 100, and likely far more...

Yet when White Crane unleashed his ultimate move, he half-health killed Principal Jiang in a single strike.

Jiang He still wasn’t even certain whether the Word-Spirit 「Candle Dragon」 White Crane used back then had been his strongest technique...

This combat-energy ratio...

Utterly terrifying.

“You’re the boss, whatever you say goes.” Old Jiang shrugged and regretfully gave up the toy.

On the other side, the students had no idea Jiang He had just spared them from a mindset-breaking monster.

They stared at the Metal Knights below, one by one itching to try.

Even Du Lingwei could not resist, her eyes filled with curiosity.

As for Zhong Honglian and the other A-rank Transcendents, they were more than happy to see this.

Or rather, the floating numbers above were precisely their handiwork.

After all, their goal was to cultivate powerful Transcendents, not well-trained soldiers. They had no need to erase the nature of these children, no need to enforce obedience or rigid discipline...

Instead, they had to ignite their competitive spirit, make them willingly pursue power, and strive to grow stronger!

To rise above the sea of geniuses, and forge a combative heart!

That was what they needed from a 【Strong One】!

What a strong one required was not obedience, but power!

“Combat-energy ratio 13.8!!”

“So strong!”

“An A-rank talent?”

Soon, with another battle over, cries of amazement echoed from the central stone pillar.

A ratio of 13.8 wasn’t that high, much lower than the previous C-rank student.

But one had to remember—this was only a D-rank student!

For D-rank energy levels, most students’ ratios hovered around 7.0, fluctuating depending on their talents and actual combat ability, but generally without major deviation.

After all, these students were talented but had little actual battle experience.

In real combat, most of them were evenly matched.

The student was teleported back, and upon hearing the comments, could not help but straighten his back.

“I have an A-rank talent, 【Barrier-Free Robe】!”

Sure enough, it was an A-rank talent!

The others could not hide the envy in their eyes.

Although with today’s huge population of Transcendents, rare ancient talents were no longer as scarce,

A-rank talents were still extremely rare.

Here, among nearly three hundred students, the vast majority had B-rank talents. Those with true A-rank talents numbered fewer than ten—this fact alone spoke volumes.

They were geniuses among geniuses!

This student had long been used to envious stares, but now, surrounded by those who were themselves regarded as prodigies, being envied by them still gave him a secret thrill.

Just then, a very distinct sneer rang out nearby.

The A-rank student’s smile froze as he turned toward the sound.

A half-grown youth, sleeves rolled up, stood there looking careless, mocking expression on his face.

“An A-rank talent, and you already think you can show off?”

“...”

The A-rank student frowned.

What, so A-rank wasn’t good enough—was he supposed to be S-rank?

As if stoking the fire, Zhong Honglian’s voice rang out at just the right time.

“From Jiang City, Yunyang.”

The half-grown youth vanished from where he stood.

The A-rank student quickly turned, scanning the platform below, and immediately spotted Yunyang.

At this moment, Yunyang was tilting his head up toward the high platform, smirking.

“Not much of a talent—just an S-rank 【My Law Alone】.”

Before his words even fell, the Metal Knights seemed to come under invisible pressure. Its aura surged, and the numbers above its head began to skyrocket!

The battle ended in an instant. Yunyang was teleported back to the platform.

His data, however, remained suspended above.

C-rank, combat-energy ratio 99.9!
