Liang was so excited that he almost forgot—he could still create two more skills.
"System, create another skill based on my novel experiences!"
Immediately, an idea flashed in his mind.
Skill Two: [Godly Eye] — a heaven-defying ability that allowed him to see other people's information, hidden details of any item, weaknesses of his enemies, and much more.
[DING! GODLY EYE SKILL SUCCESSFULLY CREATED]
Liang's eyes shone with excitement. But then, a trace of worry flashed across his heart.
"If I create too many heaven-defying skills and they appear on the Awakening Stone… then not just me, even my family will be in danger."
He clenched his fists, forcing himself to calm down.
"Then let's do this… I'll create a weaker skill, just strong enough to avoid suspicion."
System, create a C-rank skill that increases my speed and make it my profession.
[DING! SKILL CREATION SUCCESSFUL]
[CREATED SKILL: WIND WALK (C)]
Liang let out a sigh of relief. At least now, no one would doubt him.
"System, open my status window!"

"System, when can I create more skills?"
[HOST CAN CREATE ONE NEW SKILL EVERY 10 LEVELS]
Liang's lips curled into a grin. "So that means at Level 10, 20, 30… I can keep creating more skills? Hehehe, this means I can become truly overpowered, just like a novel protagonist!"
[DING! HOST HAS CREATED 3 SKILLS SUCCESSFULLY. EXITING SYSTEM SPACE…]
The moment he returned to reality, only one second had passed.
The principal suddenly shouted, his voice echoing in the hall:"C-rank skill — Wind Walk!"
The crowd erupted. Even C-rank skills were extremely valuable. Many students looked at Liang with envy.
Liang calmly stepped down from the stage. He was no longer the same boy from yesterday. Power surged within him, and in one month's time, there would be the Great Competition where top sects and academies would recruit new talents. With his hidden abilities, victory was already his.
He picked up his cycle and rode home, a faint smile on his face.
Scene Shift – Home
Liang's family lived a modest middle-class life. His father held a stable corporate job, while his mother was a housewife. Their apartment was on the sixth floor of a beautiful residential complex, located not far from the metro station.
As Liang reached home, his mother was waiting at the door. Despite being thirty-eight, she looked youthful and beautiful. With her almond-shaped eyes, graceful figure, and long black hair, she could easily pass as someone much younger.
"Welcome home, my lovely son!" his mother greeted warmly. Her eyes were full of pride and joy.
Liang smiled and hugged her tightly. "Mom, I awakened a C-rank profession today!"
His mother's happiness overflowed. She too had once awakened as a C-rank Baker, so she understood just how valuable such a start was.
"I am so proud of you, Liang," she said, kissing his forehead. "Wait here, I'll bring you something delicious to eat!"
Liang chuckled. "By the way, mom… hasn't dad come home yet?"
She smiled softly. "Don't worry, he should be on his way back now"
