"Group Three Lin Ran, SS-class talent, Natural Spirit Body!"
As the purple rune returned to the stone tablet, Lin Ran's talent was revealed.
The moment his talent awakened, Lin Ran felt a surging, explosive life force erupting from within him.
This feeling of comfort and ease, originating from the depths of his being, was so potent that if Lin Ran's self-control weren't strong enough, he might have done something impulsive on the spot.
Lin Ran quickly took a deep breath, calming the turmoil in his heart.
Soon, drawing from the knowledge he had acquired, Lin Ran recalled the existence of the Natural Spirit Body.
This was a heaven-defying existence with a fixed SS-class rating.
Natural Spirit Body: Greatly enhances one's vitality, stamina, and life recovery speed, while possessing extreme affinity and resistance to all natural elements.
Affinity, while not profoundly impactful on its own, could be significant depending on one's future developmental path.
After all, the Natural Spirit Body did not directly grant the awakened individual the ability to wield natural elements.
For instance, Ding Shi's previously awakened A-class talent, Earth Affinity, had granted him the ability to use earth element powers.
Therefore, the affinity provided by the Natural Spirit Body manifested more in terms of resistance.
For example, if Ding Shi were to attack Lin Ran with earth element abilities, a significant portion of the damage dealt to Lin Ran would be resisted by the Natural Spirit Body.
However, if this were all, the Natural Spirit Body wouldn't truly deserve its fixed SS-class talent rating.
Its true terror lay in its preceding effects.
Greatly enhances one's vitality, stamina, and life recovery speed!
This "greatly" significantly amplified these aspects.
Even upon awakening, it provided more than ten times the vitality of a normal person.
With prolonged cultivation and development of the talent's effects, it could even reach a hundredfold or more...
A pure, resilient, self-healing super tank!
This was the ultimate essence of the Natural Spirit Body!
Its only drawback was a deficiency in offensive capabilities, primarily relying on various magic energy weapons, making it a relatively pure tank.
Unless one became exceptionally proficient in talent development later on, bestowing special effects upon it...
But that was a matter for the future; in the early stages, it truly only offered defensive benefits.
This might be the sole reason why the Natural Spirit Body did not reach SSS-class.
Yet, for Lin Ran, who possessed the Myriad Heavens Fishing System, this was an incredibly suitable talent!
He was not lacking in offensive means at all!
What he lacked most were these methods of recovery and stacking durability!
Lin Ran smiled and walked off the stage amidst the envious and reverent gazes of the crowd.
What he needed had indeed arrived.
Lin Ran was thoroughly satisfied with this Natural Spirit Body talent.
Meanwhile, Principal Zhou Yi, standing on the platform, trembled with excitement.
His wide eyes were filled with fervor and elation.
Good heavens! What a day this was!
His school had awakened two of the most elite talents!
One an SSS-class Holy Angel, the other an SS-class Natural Spirit Body...
They were bound to become the most dazzling rising stars in the college entrance examination trials, possessing the potential to even break into the top ten nationwide.
Gaining admission to Long Country's top university—Qingjing Yan Yun University—was a certainty.
Normally, even the appearance of a single S-class talent would be cause for immense celebration for most schools.
And the impact of an S-class talent could significantly boost student recruitment in the following year.
Now, his school had produced two transcendent geniuses of S-class or higher...
Zhou Yi could barely comprehend the implications for Jiang Gu City First High School and his own future.
It was truly a blessing from heaven!
With these unparalleled talents, Jiang Gu City First High School would surely achieve widespread fame!
"Brother Ran, can you take me along for the college entrance exam? I have a C-class fire talent, my output is guaranteed!"
"Get lost! A mere C-class talent dares to try and piggyback on Brother Ran? Brother Ran, pick me! I awakened a B-class swordsmanship talent, our team would absolutely dominate!"
"Your swordsmanship talent is a waste with Brother Ran, such a top-tier front-liner. Let my B-class archery talent join!"
"..."
Because Lin Ran's student number was quite late, and their group had been delayed by Zhang San's fainting spell,
Most of the others on the field had already awakened their talents.
Thus, the group of students who aspired to perform well in the college entrance examination had already entered the recruitment phase.
As for Ding Shi, who had just awakened an A-class talent, he couldn't even push his way to Lin Ran due to the sheer number of people.
Ding Shi was agonizingly anxious, terrified that Lin Ran would be snatched away by someone else.
Given that Long Country's college entrance examination adopted a dungeon-clearing format, and explicitly allowed team formation with a maximum of five members,
The intention was to encourage students to synergize their abilities, compensating for each other's weaknesses.
This was also the standard practice for awakened individuals undertaking missions in forbidden zones in the future.
As Lin Ran, possessing the SS-class talent Natural Spirit Body, he was undeniably the top tank for the college entrance examination, and no one could refuse his participation.
As for those with talents below C-class, they didn't even have the courage to invite Lin Ran.
They knew that Lin Ran would never consider them.
Why would he choose them when there were so many high-tier talent damage dealers available? They would have to be out of their minds.
Lin Ran had never experienced such a situation, and the clamor of these people gave him a headache.
He could only pat his throbbing head with resignation, preparing to inform them that he planned to solo.
Jokes aside, with the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, why would he need them to lower the average?
But at this moment, for some unknown reason, the crowd parted, creating a clear path, and a graceful figure gracefully approached.
Lin Ran focused his gaze and saw that it was indeed the school beauty Luo Qingyan, who had just awakened the SSS-class talent Holy Angel and stolen the spotlight.
Luo Qingyan walked forward with a playful smile, taking Lin Ran's arm:
"What do you say, want to consider forming a team with me?"
"With you and me together, we can definitely clear the college entrance examination dungeon straight away."
Luo Qingyan actually came to invite him to form a team, which greatly surprised Lin Ran.
After all, Luo Qingyan's SSS-class talent, Holy Angel, was a remarkably well-rounded, hexagonal talent capable of wielding the power of divine light.
Healing, restoration, judgment, protection, blessings... it had everything.
Although it was slightly weaker in terms of output and tankiness, leaning somewhat towards support, it was more than sufficient for the college entrance examination.
Even if she were to become a combat-oriented Holy Angel in the future, specializing in judgment, it was not impossible.
For her to still invite him, she must have been deliberately letting him piggyback on her strength...
Lin Ran nodded thoughtfully.
