No matter how you looked at it, Yun Chen's Awakened Talent, Omnipotence, was the cornerstone of his survival as an Unclassed Drifter.
At present, he hadn't yet mastered many beginner-level skills from the various classes.
But once he matured and truly grasped hundreds of such skills, that would be a power far beyond ordinary understanding.
Take Fireball, originally just an E-rank spell—it had now been elevated to B-rank.
The most noticeable change was the color. The once fiery red flames had now transformed into a faint purplish glow.
This was a clear qualitative leap. Not only had the temperature of the spell intensified, it had also gained a new effect—upon igniting an enemy's body, it would now cause excruciating spiritual pain as it seared their soul.
"As expected..."
Yun Chen muttered.
Using Skill Points to raise a single skill's level—for example, from Fireball LV7 to LV8—wouldn't result in a qualitative change, only quantitative.
The only improvement would be in its raw magical damage.
In other words, leveling up a skill merely enhanced its existing attribute stats.
Like increasing damage boost from 20% to 25%, or splash damage from 35% to 45%, and so on.
But now, with Omnipotence, nearly all of Yun Chen's beginner-level skills had undergone a transformation, evolving to B- or even B+ rank.
Previously, his Windstep Slash (E+) had advanced to Windstep Slash (C+), introducing a new effect—if the targeted enemy was killed during a dash, the cooldown would reset, allowing him to continue dashing forward effortlessly.
That was how Yun Chen had managed to execute more than ten consecutive kills and clear the first dungeon stage so smoothly.
Now, after further evolving into Windstep Slash (B+), another qualitative shift occurred.
The wind surrounding his body had become much stronger, forming what resembled a Wind Cloak, which gave him a chance to deflect incoming attacks.
Judging from the transformations of these two skills, it was clear that the others had also changed considerably:
The Druid's Entangling Vines now had minor life drain and vitality absorption effects.
Light Burst from the Cleric path had gained a mild mental shock effect.
The Warrior's Air Combo had a chance to deal split damage.
Charge and Rush had stronger super armor, making them harder to interrupt during execution.
The Gunslinger's Zealous Pursuit now offered a minor life-steal effect.
The Assassin's Clone, Backstab, and Invisibility all saw clear improvements.
The rest also evolved, though Yun Chen didn't list them all.
The most crucial part was that despite these qualitative changes, the mana consumption hadn't increased—they still cost as little as any basic skill.
Thinking about all this, Yun Chen began to suspect that his golden finger—the system—might allow him to further evolve his Awakened Talent.
If so, that would mean another surge in growth.
…
After reviewing his Awakened Talent, Yun Chen turned his attention to the other rewards.
"Nice stuff."
The S-rank divine artifact—Resurrection Cross Emblem—had essentially granted him an extra life.
Upon death, the emblem would automatically be consumed and resurrect him at a chosen safe location.
"It's like getting a second life."
This world might resemble a game, but people only had one life—death was no longer just a trivial matter like in virtual worlds.
[Divine Flash (S-): A god-tier secret technique capable of traversing space, allowing for long-distance teleportation.]
The description was brief.
Long-range teleportation? Possibly even space-traversal?
And as a Secret Technique, it seemed to have no class restrictions at all.
Yun Chen had never heard of "secret techniques" before.
Were they a separate system outside of regular skills?
Or was it just a special system term?
Regardless, with his current exposure, he had never even come across an A-rank skill—those were kept locked away by the academies like sacred relics.
Now having obtained an S-rank god-tier secret technique—this made Yun Chen truly excited.
Another lifeline had been added to his arsenal.
"I'll test this out at a training ground later."
Divine Flash was now easily Yun Chen's strongest ability.
And being able to traverse space was undoubtedly useful.
After all, from the intelligence he'd gathered, Earth's space structure had become unstable.
Spatial rifts appeared regularly, occasionally causing contact with alien dimensions.
The Tragedy of Ghost City twenty years ago had been caused by a spatial rift that tore open above the city.
Because it couldn't be sealed in time, a massive beast horde had poured into human lands unchecked.
If he could obtain more spatial secret techniques, it would be another layer of safety.
Finally...
The system had given him another reward—an S+ rank Talent.
[Supernatural Regeneration (S+): Your cells are imbued with immense vitality, granting you immunity to most lethal injuries.]
"Holy crap, another life-saving talent..."
The system really seemed worried that he, in his current weak state, might die too soon in this world.
It kept stuffing him full of survival skills and talents.
He wasn't sure yet if this ability could restore white bone to flesh or bring back the dead, but it was worth testing.
At the very least, limb regeneration seemed guaranteed.
He'd heard that Clerics with Second Advancement could already treat severe limb injuries.
Being an S+ talent—one full tier above S-—limb regeneration was the baseline.
As for something like rebirth from a drop of blood, Yun Chen wasn't about to test it on himself.
But with the Resurrection Cross Emblem as backup, his body was now protected both inside and out.
"Not bad..."
Yun Chen was quite satisfied.
This top-tier, valedictorian reward was truly generous.
Products of the system—undoubtedly high-quality.
At that moment—
His phone, sitting on the desk in his bedroom, was still vibrating.
Messages and calls from his homeroom teacher Jin Sheng, classmates, the principal, and even many unknown numbers were flooding in like a storm.
