I Don't Believe He's Omnipotent

"I just wonder what this outstanding student's innate talent is."

The veteran teacher sighed.

His voice was full of curiosity.

Basically every student possessed a unique talent of their own.

Innate talents had nothing to do with the profession a student chose; they were inborn.

Some people had the innate talent [Eye of Perception]. This talent could greatly enhance the user's detection abilities. It was especially useful in certain dungeon trials, where it was like a fish in water.

Others had the innate talent [Magic Flame]. This talent made fire-element skills significantly more powerful.

Generally speaking, a normal person could only possess one innate talent.

Those who possessed two innate talents could already be called heaven's favored!

However, such people were few and far between. Those with two innate talents were generally already guaranteed admission to a vocational academy.

The other students were extremely curious about Ling Zhan's innate talent.

Most of them guessed that his talent was related to mana.

Others guessed it had something to do with skill enhancement. After all, when Ling Zhan used skills, they were far more powerful than when others used the same ones.

"Could it be that Senior Ling Zhan has two innate talents?" At that moment, one student quietly said this.

"Impossible!"

To his surprise, the people around him immediately refuted him.

"If Senior Ling Zhan had two innate talents, he would have been guaranteed admission long ago."

"That's right. The outstanding geniuses in the Dragon Kingdom who possess two innate talents are almost all top figures in every vocational academy. If Senior Ling Zhan had them, he wouldn't need to take the Job Transfer Trial Entrance Examination."

"Still, Senior Ling Zhan's performance is already practically perfect. If this continues, his results in the Job Transfer Trial Entrance Examination will rank among the best in our city!"

"The first person in the country to take the Job Transfer Trial Entrance Examination as a Jobless Freelancer and still achieve excellent results—it's simply astonishing!"

"Heh heh!"

Someone sneered.

"Ling Zhan has indeed performed well, but saying he can compete for a city ranking is an exaggeration, isn't it?"

"You make it sound like our school doesn't have any geniuses."

"Exactly."

"No matter what, the Senior Ling Zhan you all worship is just a Freelancer."

There was never any shortage of contrarians.

Besides.

The geniuses from the other schools had entered the trial relatively late, so they had yet to exert themselves.

On the light screen.

Ling Zhan had found another group of poison crabs.

"Oh my god, Senior is going up against elite monsters."

"This poison crab group is even bigger. Can Senior handle it?"

Very soon.

Ling Zhan tore through the monster horde and immediately ran away.

Woohoo, taking off!

"What the hell... killing gods when he meets gods, killing ghosts when he meets ghosts!"

"Senior is already invincible in the outskirts of Sewage City, isn't he?"

"If he can't win, he can always run."

The first- and second-year underclassmen were filled with excitement.

It wasn't just because Senior Ling Zhan was powerful.

It was also because of his control over the battle. He fought when he could win, and never charged recklessly when he couldn't.

Call him cautious or call him steady.

It was precisely this battle instinct that allowed Ling Zhan to charge in and out of the outskirts of Sewage City as though no one was there.

"Teachers, when we take the Job Transfer Trial Entrance Examination someday, can we also choose Senior Ling Zhan's fighting style and use his techniques for clearing the trial?"

To everyone's surprise, the teachers beside them nodded in affirmation.

"This student's combat fundamentals are—flawless!"

"I believe it isn't just me. The other leaders should be firmly convinced of this as well."

"Perhaps..." The teacher did not finish the rest of his sentence. He merely told himself, This student's performance in the trial will most likely be worthy of inclusion in a textbook. If... he weren't a Jobless Freelancer.

Flawless?

Those simple words struck every student's heart like a cannonball.

It was the first time they had heard their teachers use the words "flawless" to evaluate a student's performance.

On the podium.

The principal of First High School even privately gave the dean of students an instruction.

"Compile Ling Zhan's performance in the trial into video teaching materials."

"This..."

The dean of students abruptly looked up, feeling that the principal had surely gone mad.

But soon...

He understood the principal's intentions.

"Yes."

Below the podium.

A student suddenly asked, "Teacher, why do I feel that when Senior Ling Zhan ran away, it wasn't because he couldn't win? It seems like... Senior was deliberately hiding his strength."

"That's... really hard to say!"

The teacher hesitated.

Ling Zhan's earlier performance had simply been too perfect.

But precisely because it had been too perfect, it did not seem unreasonable for the teachers to think that this student might still have a trump card...

Yet they also felt that a person's energy was limited. Even if he was hiding his strength, it couldn't possibly be too outrageous, right?

"Another group of poison crabs has been completely wiped out!"

"Senior Ling Zhan seems to be getting more and more proficient. This time, he finished the battle in less than fifteen minutes!"

While countless spectators discussed it.

Ling Zhan eliminated another group of poison crabs.

"As expected of Senior Ling Zhan!"

"Holy shit! Did you notice? This time, Senior Ling Zhan killed every single Sewage Poison Crab without letting a single one escape."

"Fuck... so Senior Ling Zhan really was only hiding his strength when he ran away before?"

Watching Ling Zhan on the light-screen broadcast, countless people cried out in shock.

He could become even stronger!
