“Next, Su Hei!”

When they heard Lin Nianlei’s words, 17 people turned their gazes to Su Hei. They were all students from Senior Class One.

As the class president, Su Hei had excellent grades, was good at socializing, and was very capable of performing his tasks. Hence, he was the pillar in Senior Class One. Even after they had all transmigrated, which was absurd, everyone subconsciously still thought of him as their leader.

Now that it was time for Su Hei to undergo the ritual, everyone’s hearts were in their mouths. They were even more nervous than when they were participating in the ritual themselves.

“Class President, you can do it!”

“Regardless of whether you succeed or not, you’ll forever be the class president of Senior Class One.”

All of his classmates started to cheer Su Hei on. Jiang Jinyu did not speak, but she stared at him with a firm gaze, silently encouraging him.

Su Hei merely smiled and then stepped out of the waiting area.

At this moment, an emotionless, robotic voice sounded in his ears.

System: “Ding! Congratulations to the host on successfully binding to the summation system!”

“This is a system?” thought Su Hei.

“Usually, after transmigrating to a new place, the transmigrators will be bound to a system! It’s finally here!”

At this moment, he was over the moon.

He glanced at the system interface and realized that only when he became the leader of the organization he was in could he extract the data of the talents, abilities, stats, and strengths of everyone in the organization and absorb them for himself.

“This is amazing!”

His comment revealed his true thoughts on it.

System: “Does the host want to withdraw the talent, abilities, stats, and strengths of all 18 students in Senior Class One and put them into yourself?”

“Yes!”

Without any hesitation, Su Hei chose to do so.

The next second, a ball of light emerged from the bodies of Wang Dong, Li Hua, and all the other students of Senior Class One who had successfully awakened their talents and entered Su Hei’s body.

Su Hei’s Qi and blood were surging inside his body, and his talents were increasing rapidly.

Su Hei could clearly feel that his body was undergoing a tremendous change.

Water Elemental, Wind Elemental, Earth Elemental, Fire Elemental…

Warrior, Priest, Blacksmith, Swordsman, and so forth.

He was in full control of all four elements. However, there were too many talents for him to see clearly.

His strength was also undergoing changes.

When he clenched his fists, he could feel a strong burst of energy coursing through his arms. That was raw power, also called combat prowess, which differentiated the weak martial artists from the strong ones.

The system interface showed the changes in Su Hei’s power.

One hundred…

Five hundred…

One thousand…

Su Hei’s body started making cracking and popping sounds. His bones and muscles were all undergoing changes because of the changes in his strength.

Two thousand…

Three thousand…

Five thousand…

In mere minutes, Su Hei’s strength had gone from that of a beginner-level martial artist to that of an advanced-level martial artist.

In mere minutes, Su Hei’s strength had gone from that of a beginner-level martial artist to that of an advanced-level martial artist.

And his strength was still increasing nonstop. The number shown on the system interface continued to shoot up rapidly.

In the end, it stopped at 10,086 pounds without making any other changes.

Looking at this number, Su Hei’s eyes widened in astonishment, and his chest heaved up and down. He could not get himself to calm down for a long time.

Ten thousand pounds!

Five thousand kilograms!

That was five whole tons!

“The world record for the greatest weight ever raised by a human being was 477 kilograms, but I now have the strength to carry 5,000 kilograms of power! That’s pure power!” thought Su Hei.

With one punch, he could even smash trucks that weighed around five tons.

“This is the power of a martial artist, huh?” thought Shu Hei.

Su Hei slightly moved his feet. The smooth marble of the floor beneath his feet cracked like a spider’s web.

“Awesome!” he exclaimed.

Su Hei was delighted, and his face flushed with excitement.

He had not even awakened his talent, but he had already obtained pure power that was equivalent to that of a martial artist in the Perfected Realm1

He had already started to anticipate the power and realms that he would attain after awakening his talent.

Under normal circumstances, once one had successfully awakened his or her talent, that person’s power would be increased by thousands of pounds. That was the range for beginner-level martial artists.

Becoming a beginner-level martial artist was just the beginning. Their strength would change accordingly as their levels increased. There were still intermediate-level martial artists, advanced-level martial artists, and martial artists in the Perfected Realm, as well as Grandmasters, Senior Grandmasters, etc.

Senior Grandmasters had a strength of nearly one million pounds. One of their punches could topple a 100-meter building, and they could destroy a 10,000-ton ship with a kick.

The cultivator levels following Senior Grandmasters possessed unfathomable strength. The strongest martial artist in Quilton’s survival base was only at the Senior Grandmaster level.

Hence, Su Hei sifted through his memories, but he was not able to find out about the strength of martial artists who were higher in level than the Senior Grandmaster. However, he knew that it must be horrifying!

“This summation system is amazing!” he thought inwardly.

Su Hei’s heart was overflowing with joy.

Currently, he had only absorbed the power of a dozen or more people.

In the days after the ceremony, he would join the City Defense Team. Once he became the class president, section leader, team leader, or captain of the team, he would be leading hundreds and thousands of martial artists and have them at his command. With the help of the summation system, he could absorb all of their talents and become terrifyingly strong.

Su Hei became excited at that mere thought.

“Su?”

Suddenly, a sound brought Su Hei back to his senses.

It was Wang Dong. He saw Su Hei standing there in a daze.

He mistakenly thought that Su Hei was overly nervous. With ugly bruises covering his face, Wang Dong approached Su Hei.

“Su, don’t be nervous. If a person with lousy grades like me can awaken my talent, you’ll definitely be able to do it too!” he reassured.

Looking at how Wang Dong grimaced as he tried to endure the pain, Su Hei smiled.

He was not nervous but merely felt a little helpless.

The Talent Awakening Ceremony would reveal his talent and elemental power. He had control over all four elemental powers and close to 10 types of talents.

If this was revealed to everyone, it would definitely cause a stir.

However, that could not be helped. He could not help that the summation system was so sick.

Su Hei smiled and shook his head. He suppressed his power and stepped onto the altar.

Deep in the assembly hall, Qin Feng—who was observing the Talent Awakening Ceremony—was surprised.

He looked at Su Hei at the exact moment when Su Hei was suppressing his power.

Although it was only a brief moment, Qin Feng still sensed the power within Su Hei.

When Qin Feng met Su Hei’s gaze, he involuntarily shuddered. That was his body reacting in fear in the presence of absolute power.

Qin Feng mused, “That’s strange… He hasn’t awakened his talent yet, so why can I sense the power of a martial artist who has already attained Perfected Realm?”

As the section leader of the survival base in Quilton, Qin Feng was already an advanced-level martial artist.

There was no reason for him to fear a young fellow who had not even awakened his talent.

Having his curiosity piqued, Qin Feng stared intently at Su Hei, who was already on the altar.

–

The Talent Awakening Ceremony was already halfway through. Apart from Classes C and D, all the other students had already completed the ritual.

Students who had successfully awakened their talents were seen as martial artists.

What came next was not relaxation or rewards. These students would have to follow the soldiers to the barracks and start their training.

These beginner-level martial artists were merely rookies. If they did not undergo harsh training, they would not be able to face the beasts or even fight those beasts by themselves.
