Global Killing: Awakening SSS-level Talent at the Beginning Chapter 2:

"Mine's a visual boost, the lowest F-grade one. Boo-hoo!"

Right then, every person had awakened their innate talents.

Some rejoiced, while others mourned.

Qin Feng quietly glanced at the screen, curious if anybody had gained an S-grade or superior talent.

Just then, Tiandao announced once more.

[Announcement: The talent awakening in this novice village is now complete. 】

[787 people awakened F-level talents]

[194 awakened E-level talents]

[17 awakened D-level talents]

[2 awakened C-rank or higher talents]

What!

From the stats, nearly everyone got F-level or E-level talents.

Only under 2% managed a D-level talent.

Damn~!

His SSS-level talent must be incredibly scarce.

Qin Feng's gaze brightened.

Oh yeah, two folks with C-rank or above talents, and he was one.

Who was the other?

This thought made Qin Feng check the chat area again.

"Heavens! Just 17 out of 1,000 got D-level talents. How many among 10 billion worldwide could snag an SSS-level?"

"Upstairs, forget SSS. Even S-level would be rare among tens of billions."

"I bet across tens of billions globally, nobody awakened SSS-level."

"Sigh! Good talents are super tough to get!"

"True! D-level awakeners are powerhouses, C-level even more so."

"Exactly! Our village has two C-levels—who are they?"

"C-rank bosses, show yourselves!"

"Yes! Big shots, emerge so we can pay respects!"

At that instant, Liu Xuan's avatar popped up.

Liu Xuan: "Folks, I got the C-level talent—magnetic manipulation!"

"Whoa~! Magnetic manipulation! Sounds epic!"

"Right! Like Magneto or something?"

"Boss Liu Xuan, take me under your wing! I'll follow you from now on!"

"Brother Liu Xuan, count my little sis in too!"

The chat exploded, with everyone showering Liu Xuan in praise.

"Hey, two above C-rank talents—who's the second?"

"Other bigwig, step forward!"

All waited eagerly.

Witnessing this, Qin Feng discreetly left the chat.

His talent was far too OP, and exposing it rashly was risky.

In this brutal slaughter-filled world, envy could lead to harm.

Crucially, his combat power sat at one star, leaving him frail without defenses.

That SSS talent was his ace and lifeline—why reveal it lightly?

Plus, he hadn't fully grasped what endless extraction did yet.

Suddenly, Tiandao's voice rang out again.

[Announcement: Starting now, exit your wooden huts and enter the novice village. In ten seconds, the novice assessment begins. 】

[Assessment rules: Reach level 10 in seven days. Failures get eliminated instantly; top performers earn rich rewards. 】

[How to level up: Slay beasts, monsters, and creatures for energy gains. 】

Hum~!

The announcement ended, and a beam dropped a rusty short dagger from above.

Qin Feng snatched it effortlessly.

[Novice short knife: attack power +2, a rusty newbie blade, essential for starters, tier 0 gear. 】

[Attack power targets strength stat. 1 strength = 1 attack power. 】

Not bad!

It boosted attack by 2 points.

Qin Feng gripped the hilt and swung it around a bit.

In that instant, inspiration struck—he touched the blade with one hand and triggered his innate ability: endless extraction!

Hum~!

White light flashed!

Rust vanished from the blade visibly, turning it sleek and shiny like brand new.

Qin Feng flipped his hand, palm now laden with rust flakes.

[Endless extraction successful! Extracted rust and debris from novice short knife. It upgrades to refined steel knife. 】

[Refined Steel Knife: Attack Power +5, Tier 1 gear. 】

Whoa!

Endless extraction worked like this too.

"Cool!"

Qin Feng grinned happily.

In mere moments, his starter knife jumped from tier 0 to 1, attack soaring to 5.

Next, he stroked the blade again, trying to extract more...

[Endless extraction failed! Target too low quality, extraction cap reached. 】

As expected!

Qin Feng swung the steel knife, quite pleased.

For starters, his weapon outclassed others'.

Noise erupted outside the hut then.

He rushed over, shoved the door open, and spotted rows of cabins.

One by one, folks emerged from each hut.

Males, females, elders, youths—all peered around in wonder...

Qin Feng scanned the area too.

This was Novice Village: cabins one side, plaza the other.

Once out, people clustered in small groups toward the square, chatter filling the air.

"Failing to hit level 10 means obliteration! Tiandao's pushing us to hunt monsters!"

"Yep! Seven days for assessment—no time to waste."

"I'm nervous!"

"Me too, panicking! Bro, wanna team up?"

"Sure!"

Qin Feng noticed they all clutched rusty newbie knives.

He stayed composed, blending into the crowd heading to Novice Village Square.

At the plaza, he spotted a light screen opposite.

That marked the village's protective barrier.

Beyond it lay a world of bloody kills.

Hundreds already milled in the square, talking endlessly, yet none ventured past the shield.

New to this strange land, caution ruled—no one wanted to lead.

"Hey! No clue what's out there?"

"Yeah! No idea on those beasts' strength!"

But suddenly, a boom echoed across the square.

Everyone jumped, turning toward the noise.

Qin Feng startled too, looked over, and saw a buff guy pulverize a boulder with a punch.

Recognizing the muscled figure, it was 1-star max combat power Wang Qiang.

"Wow~! Such raw power!"

Amazement rippled through the crowd.

"I know him! That's 1-star peak Wang Qiang!"

"Whoa~! 1-star max that strong?"

"Mr. Wang Qiang, what's your talent?"

Wang Qiang himself was stunned by his feat, gaping at the rubble.

Hearing the question snapped him back; he grinned.

"I've got D-level talent—power frenzy. Activates to triple my strength."

The revelation drew fresh awe.

"Wow~! D-level talent! Explains Wang Qiang's might!"

"Tsk tsk! D-level rocks! Mine's E-level power boost, just doubles—falls short."

"At least E-level beats my F-level!"

"Sigh! F and E dominate, D-level under 2% of us."

"So jealous of D-level awakeners!"

"Even more for those two C-levels!"

"Yeah! Liu Xuan's one, wonder who's the other C-level. Total envy!"

Amid the throng, Qin Feng smirked silently.

They'd assumed his was C-level—misunderstanding.

"Anyway, Wang Qiang hit 1-star cap. With D-talent, he'll grow insanely!"

"Obviously!"

Discussions buzzed on, eyes full of respect for Wang Qiang.

Basking in praise, Wang Qiang swelled with pride, getting cocky unnoticed.

Scanning around, seeing none brave the exit, his arrogance peaked.
