You Call This an F-Rank Talent?

Xu Kun's face was pale.

F-grade talent is the lowest level among all races. Only the Human Race and low-level sequence races of E and F grades awaken this level of talent!

According to big data analysis, the probability of an F-grade talent awakener in the Human Race is similar to that of an A-grade, about one in ten thousand, accounting for about four to five thousand people each year!

And less than one-tenth of these four to five thousand people can pass the newbie trial!

Even if they manage to pass the newbie trial, they are likely to have their freedom stripped by the Haotian Pagoda during the "Great Purge" after the week-long newbie trial, becoming a part of the Haotian Pagoda...

Taking a deep breath, Xu Kun quickly dispelled his frustration. Awakening an F-grade talent was within his expectations!

Talent is closely related to bloodline. Like begets like!

His father disappeared before he was born, and he doesn't know what his talent was like, but his mother only had an F-grade talent, which greatly influenced him!

But his mother worked hard to raise him, and a son doesn't despise his mother for being ugly, so how could Xu Kun resent his mother!

Continuing to read, Xu Kun's expression gradually changed.

[F-grade Talent: Myriad Races Bestiary]

[All Attributes +1]

All Attributes +1! This is an even more useless attribute bonus than the most common F-grade talent single attribute +5% recorded in the database!

If it were a normal F-grade talent, it would be over after reading the attribute bonus, but obviously, Xu Kun's F-grade talent is not normal!

"It... it, it actually has additional entries!"

Xu Kun clicked his tongue. Additional entries only exist on a small portion of B-grade talents, and normally only A-grade talents and above have a 100% chance of appearing!

And the higher the talent, the more entries there are, but Xu Kun's talent actually has three additional entries!

[Bestiary Unlocked]: You can use the [Myriad Races Bestiary] to know the detailed information of the target race - unable to probe targets whose talent level is two levels higher than your own, and who also possess information concealment skills!

Xu Kun's F-grade talent can manifest as a book. When encountering a race monster, it will automatically flip to a certain page, providing specific information!

[Myriad Races Bestiary]:

1: For every 100 creatures of the same race killed, you can obtain the race's unique skill - skill level increases with the [Myriad Races Bestiary] level!

Current kill count: 0/100!

Note: Not limited to killing monsters of the current race's talent level, but upgrading skills requires the [Myriad Races Bestiary] to surpass the skill level!

In other words, if Xu Kun has the ability now, he can kill 100 race monsters with A-grade talents and obtain the race's unique A-grade skill, but to upgrade it, he has to wait until the Myriad Races Bestiary is upgraded to S-grade!

2: For every 1 race boss killed, you can obtain the race boss's talent - talent level increases with the [Myriad Races Bestiary] level!

Note: Does not limit the boss's talent level, killing will grant the talent of the boss's corresponding talent level, upgrade conditions are the same as skills!

3: Killing all leaders/ultimate bosses of a race grants you dominion over that race!

Note: Currently limited to F-grade races, ultimate boss level does not exceed E-grade!

[Bestiary Advancement]: Kill 10 bosses of the same level as the [Myriad Races Bestiary] to upgrade the [Myriad Races Bestiary]!

Current level: F!

Current number of F-grade bosses killed: 0/10!

Silence! Absolute silence!

In the awakening space, Xu Kun's face was especially interesting!

After a long time, he took a deep breath and sincerely exclaimed: "You call this an F-grade talent?"

Apart from the eye-straining All Attributes +1, the three entries carried by the Myriad Races Bestiary are each more powerful than the last!

Bestiary Unlocked allows him to view the information of any race monster, and even races with concealment skills below C-grade are nowhere to hide!

It can greatly improve Xu Kun's safety and speed when killing monsters!

The three functions of the Myriad Races Bestiary are even more perverted than each other.

In simple terms, it's killing monsters to gain upgradeable skills, killing bosses to gain upgradeable talents, and killing all the leaders/ultimate bosses of a race to gain the power of life and death over a race!

The ultimate boss is equivalent to the nine Lords of the Era born in the Human Race in the past thousand years!

The talents of the myriad races don't have such a wide range of upper and lower limits like humans. The ultimate bosses of general F-grade races are at most E-grade talent bosses, and very few can give birth to D-grade talent bosses!

In other words, if an F-grade race only has one ultimate boss, Xu Kun can gain absolute dominion over that race after killing it!

Good heavens, don't underestimate an F-grade race. That represents a countless number of creatures of that race!

Even a billion ants can easily bite a SSS-grade trial-taker of the same level to death, right?

Breathe, calm down, breathe, calm down!

"Damn it, I can't calm down!" Xu Kun couldn't hide his excitement. When one door closes, another opens!

He originally thought that awakening an F-grade talent meant he was useless, but he didn't expect this F-grade talent to give him such a big surprise!

The first two entries were shocking enough, but the third one made Xu Kun feel that he wouldn't trade this F-grade talent for an SSS-grade talent!

A talent that can be advanced is unheard of and unseen!

Killing ten F-grade bosses can upgrade the talent to E-grade!

Ten Es make a D, ten Ds make a C, ten Cs...

"So, if I kill ten bosses with SS-grade talents, can I level up to SSS?"

Xu Kun muttered to himself, never expecting the Awakening Space to respond.

Ding, in response to the Awakener's question, the answer is theoretically yes, but only if you have already upgraded your talent to SS-grade. Only then can you upgrade to SSS-grade by killing ten SS-grade bosses!

Xu Kun was taken aback. Textbooks never mentioned that the Awakening Space could communicate!

He tentatively asked, "What if I kill ten SSS-grade bosses?"

The space fell silent, before finally responding.

You can try!

Xu Kun: ...

Try with my head? The entire Human Race has only produced eight SSS-grade trial-takers to date, and the earliest Azure God, according to experts, has already climbed to around the eightieth floor of the Haotian Pagoda. Compared to people like that, comparing myself to them is like comparing a firefly to the moon—and that's being generous to myself!

Talent is crucial, but the number of floors climbed in the Haotian Pagoda is even more critical!

Talent represents a person's potential, determining your upper limit, while the number of floors represents your class, level, equipment, and skills, determining your lower limit!

Ding, talent awakening is complete. Please choose an ID for your training in the Haotian Pagoda!

Without hesitation, Xu Kun replied, "Kun!"

This was the ID Xu Kun had long prepared to take.

The name Kun was left to him by his father, whom he had never met!

His parents and Hao Jian's parents were close friends. When their mothers were pregnant, they had even arranged a marriage between their children, but unfortunately, two stinky boys were born!

Sadly, Xu Kun's father disappeared before he was born. His mother and Hao Jian's parents were tight-lipped about his whereabouts!

But it was agreed beforehand that the children's names would be chosen from an ancient Chinese saying from a thousand years ago.

As Heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman strives for self-improvement. As Earth's condition is receptive devotion, a gentleman carries the outer world with virtue.

Hao Jian was born half an hour earlier than Xu Kun, so he received the honor of "Jian," while Xu Kun could only settle for second best and choose "Kun!"

Choosing a single character for an ID is also a habit of many Humans. In the past thousand years, the Human Race has produced nine Lords of the Era, but the strongest is generally acknowledged to be "Azure" and "Kite." Other Lords of the Era have more or less drawn inspiration from mythological figures in ancient books from a thousand years ago!

Xu Kun and Hao Jian were no exception, aiming for "Azure" and "Kite," hoping that one day, their ID suffixes could also be crowned with the name of a god!

That is, "Kun God" and "Jian God"!

Xu Kun was still immersed in the joy of his F-grade talent, and didn't hear the Awakening Space's repeated reminders.

Ding, three confirmations are complete. The ID "Kun" has been bound to the Awakener. May "Kun" have a bright future and forever climb the Haotian Pagoda!

"Wait, not Kun, it's Kun!"

Ding, three confirmations are complete. I'm sorry, Awakener, the ID cannot be changed unless you die and are destroyed!

Xu Kun: ...

Forget it, Kun it is then!

Xu Kun had read in ancient books that a thousand years ago, there was a famous person called "Kun Kun," whose followers were called "Kun Devotees," bringing laughter to ordinary humans in that peaceful era!

I'll just consider it a nostalgic tribute!

After the ID was chosen, the feeling of being scrutinized that he had felt during the awakening process enveloped Xu Kun again.

Xu Kun wasn't alarmed by this. The Awakening Space was scanning his physical attributes to give him corresponding five-dimensional stats!

Compared to the unknowable process of awakening a talent, Xu Kun had absolute confidence in his five-dimensional physical attributes!

This was also the reason why his classmates admired and envied him!

Since entering school at the age of seven, Xu Kun had diligently honed his body under the urging of his mother, all for this day!

Ding, physical attribute scan complete. Five-dimensional attributes have been synchronized. Awakener "Kun" can view their own data!

With a thought, Xu Kun's data table appeared before him.

"Yes!" Xu Kun waved his fist. Eleven years of perseverance hadn't been in vain!

Textbooks record that the Human Race's physique can't compare to the powerful races among the Myriad Races. Hundreds of years of data have shown that the Human Race's basic five stats have a maximum single value of 10!

But a normal person can reach a peak value of 9 through training!

A single 10 only exists in some geniuses/idiots!

Those born with divine strength/robust physiques can reach Strength 10 or Stamina 10, those with near-demonic intelligence can reach Spirit 10, those born with agility can reach Agility 10, and those born with emotional detachment can reach Willpower 10!

But those who can often reach the maximum value in a single or even two stats will show weaknesses in other aspects. It's rare for someone to have a single stat at maximum value while still having high values in other stats!

Therefore, the Human Race's basic stats are generally judged by their total!

Above 30 is considered excellent, above 35 is considered outstanding, above 40 is already perfect, and above 45 is an extremely rare existence. Xu Kun's original basic stats totaled as high as 44, definitely in the top 1% of Human Race participants in this novice trial!

But this doesn't include the Myriad Races Bestiary's all stats +1!

After adding it, he was shocked to discover that Xu Kun's other four stats besides Agility were already close to the Human Race's initial limit!

Combined, they reached a terrifying 49!

If talent isn't good, make up for it with a solid foundation. This is also Xu Kun's capital for believing he can pass the novice trial. The arduous training in those cold winter months and scorching summer days is what led to today's stats!

"A basic stat of 49, even if it's not unprecedented, is still a rare and extremely high value. Even without the talent buffs that others have, dealing with the low-level monsters of those F-grade races will be a breeze!" Xu Kun was very satisfied with this result.

But everything wasn't over yet. The awakening space suddenly trembled, and the next moment, hearing the system prompt in his ear, Xu Kun's pupils contracted violently!

Ding, based on you awakening a unique F-grade talent, the God of Luck has bestowed a blessing of pity, you have obtained...
