8: He is not Omnipotent

"I wonder what natural talent this exceptional student possesses," the senior teacher sighed.

His voice carried a sense of curiosity.

Every student typically possesses their own unique talents.

Natural talent has no relation to the chosen profession and is innate.

Some people have the talent of "Eye of Discovery," which greatly enhances their detection abilities, particularly in maze-like secret realms where this talent proves invaluable.

There are also individuals with the talent of "Magic Flame," which grants them greater power when utilizing fire-based skills.

Generally, most individuals have only one natural talent.

To have two natural talents is already considered a rare occurrence and those who possess such talents are often recommended for university admission.

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

Most speculated that his talent must be related to mana.

Some speculated it could be linked to skill enhancement, as Ling Zhan's skills demonstrated significantly greater power than others.

"Could it be that Senior Ling Zhan possesses two natural talents?" a student whispered.

"Impossible!"

Surprisingly, the people around him instantly retorted.

"If Senior Ling Zhan had two natural talents, he would have been recommended for university admission."

"Yes, in our country, individuals with two outstanding natural talents are typically top figures in every university. If Senior Ling Zhan had such talent, he wouldn't need to take the college entrance examination."

"However, Senior Ling Zhan's current performance is already perfect. If he continues, his college entrance examination results will be among the best in our city!"

"He will be the first unemployed individual in the country to take the college entrance examination and still achieve excellent results. It's truly astounding!"

"..."

On the podium, Principal Zhong Wenshan of No. 1 Middle School, who was previously restless, now wore a beaming smile.

Qi Mu, Ling Zhan's homeroom teacher, also breathed a sigh of relief. Well done! Almost lost the job evaluation and performance guarantee!

But he was also overjoyed.

He never expected such an ordinary student to perform so exceptionally in the college entrance examination.

Based on visual estimation, Ling Zhan would achieve a high ranking in the city.

As for the provincial ranking... well, let's not dwell on that.

After all, he was just an unemployed individual, and achieving a good result in the city ranking was already commendable.

The provincial ranking... that was something only top scholars were eligible to compete for.

"Old Qi, don't worry so much, come and have a cup of tea!" Zhong Wenshan's attitude towards Qi Mu made a 720-degree ultimate invincible U-turn.

Previously, Zhong Wenshan had pointed at Qi Mu and blamed him.

Now, he was warmly smiling, treating him as a competent subordinate.

Qi Mu joined in the laughter as well.

A few top-class teachers standing nearby couldn't help but curl their lips.

They thought to themselves, what's the rush? The top students in their class haven't even showcased their full potential yet!

...

Inside the light curtain.

Ling Zhan had already encountered another group of scorpions.

He had to complete the required challenges quickly in order to compete for the top spot in the city's college entrance examination.

As he effortlessly dealt with the group of scorpions, the voices from the audience grew louder and louder.

"Damn! Senior Ling Zhan is so badass! I want to be a jobless person too!"

"Looks like it's all about being cool! When I reach my third year of high school, I won't change my profession, and then I'll shine just like Senior Ling Zhan!"

"Let's go, let's form a team together, the Unemployed Casuals!"

"..."

The underclassmen in the first and second grades were filled with emotions.

It seemed like they could finish the college entrance examination just as stylishly as Ling Zhan in the future.

However...

The corners of the teachers' mouths twitched upon hearing these words.

They then scolded mercilessly:

"Is there something wrong with your brains? Huh? The reason we praised Ling Zhan is because of his proficient combat skills, battle strategy, and equipment switching!"

"We want you to learn combat skills, battle strategy, and how to switch equipment, not to learn from him and become a jobless individual!"

"He can cast ten fireballs and ten freezing spells, can you? Look at your weak mana! You can't even manage five consecutive shots!"

"And if you don't change your profession, you won't have proficiency in professional weapons! You only gain [Staff Proficiency] when you become a Mage, [Epee Mastery] and [Shield Proficiency] when you become a Warrior!"

"How many weapons do you think you need to practice with if you want to be proficient in all of them?"

"Assassin's dagger, swordsman's sword, mage's staff, hunter's traps, archer's bow..."

"Do you dare to ask if you can become proficient without the corresponding weapon proficiencies?"

A series of words crashed into the hearts of every student like cannonballs.

Their previously excited moods were dampened as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them.

Yes.

To be proficient in the weapons of each profession like Ling Zhan, it would require countless hours of dedicated practice.

They knew they didn't have the energy for that.

"Well... I guess I should obediently change professions."

"Being a jobless person isn't suitable for us."

"Let's just watch Senior Ling Zhan's performance and learn from it."

"..."

All the students shrunk back.

There was no way around it. They realized it was impossible for them to achieve the same results as Ling Zhan.

"Teacher, you're right. It's impossible to master so many weapons without proficiency in professional weapons."

"So, teacher, do you think Senior Ling Zhan knows how to use other weapons besides the shield, epee, staff, and dagger?"

"Senior Ling Zhan is also human. There will be times when he lacks energy. I don't believe he can be so versatile!"

At that moment, a student voiced his unwillingness.

"Well... that's really hard to say," the teacher hesitated.

Ling Zhan's previous performance was too flawless.

But it was precisely because it was so flawless that the teachers thought it wouldn't be too much for a student like Ling Zhan to be proficient in other weapons...

Yet, they also felt that a person's energy was limited, making it impossible to excel in every aspect.

"Another wave of scorpions has been eliminated!"

"Senior Ling Zhan seems to be getting more and more proficient. This battle ended in less than fifteen minutes!"

As countless onlookers discussed excitedly...

Ling Zhan dealt with yet another wave of scorpions.

"As expected of Senior Ling Zhan!"

"It seems like he's entering the inner circle of the secret realm!"

"Damn! Is that true? Doesn't he plan to take a break and recharge?"

"The monsters inside the secret realm are much stronger than the ones outside. Can he endure without resting?"

"Is he planning to speed through the secret realm in the college entrance examination?"

"Oh my god! How daring!"

...

As people watched Ling Zhan on the screen broadcasted by the light curtain, countless exclamations filled the air.

This kid was actually planning to speed through!
