With godlike talent from the start, how did he become invincible?

Chapter 331 The announcement shook the world, and undercurrents boiled.

Time seemed to have been paused at that moment by an invisible hand.

Sunset City, Central Square.

Sunlight streamed through the pale blue magical shield, illuminating the bustling crowds and buildings of various styles.

Stalls lined the streets, their calls, haggling, shouts of players forming teams, and calls for skill training blending together to create a vibrant background soundscape.

A level 24 fire mage, wielding a blue-quality staff, had just bought a set of intermediate mana potions from a goblin merchant for the "high price" of 3 gold coins. He was grumbling about the unscrupulous merchant and preparing to head to "Wolf Howl Valley" outside the city to meet up with his teammates and grind monsters.

A level 22 young archer, wearing half-body leather armor, is being enthusiastically recruited by a temporary squad. The captain pats his chest and guarantees that they will definitely be able to defeat the final boss of "Dark Cave" today and obtain the blueprint for the [Swift Bow] that he has been dreaming of.

In front of the blacksmith's shop, several warriors surrounded the master blacksmith, arguing heatedly about whether "red copper trim" would increase armor penetration or "mithril patterns" would improve weapon toughness.

Outside the apothecary, a few priests and assassins who had just failed to form a party were complaining about their teammates' lack of skill and discussing whether they should go to the quest hall to take on some daily quests to collect herbs and furs. Although the experience was small, it was better than waiting around doing nothing.

Everything is like a microcosm of countless ordinary days over the past two months.

Under the protection of the level 3 main city, players struggle to survive, slowly but steadily leveling up, collecting equipment, and forming teams, all in order to live in this unfamiliar game world, and also for... that faint but ever-present hope of becoming stronger.

The average level is 22, with top players reaching levels 23 or 24. This is the current situation for the vast majority of ordinary players on the 9527th newbie continent.

SSS-level talent prodigies?

Those are legendary figures, said to be level 30, active in more dangerous high-level maps, living in a completely different world from ordinary players.

However, this ordinary life filled with anxiety and hope was utterly crushed at this moment by a voice that was sudden, cold, and majestic, resounding directly in the deepest part of every player's soul!

[System Announcement Across the Continent!]

[Detected in Beginner Continent, ID 9527: A player has broken through the level 50 cap and successfully advanced their class!]

[The conditions for starting the preliminary rounds of the "Battle for Supremacy" game have been met!]

The first stage of the preliminary rounds will officially begin in 7 days (168 hours)!

[All players, please prepare!]

Please check the system interface for details later.

[This announcement is repeated...]

Quiet.

A deathly silence, like a plague, instantly swept through the central square of Luoxia City and quickly spread to every street, every shop, and every corner.

The potion bottle in the fire mage's hand fell to the ground with a "clatter," and the pale blue liquid gushed out, soaking the cracks in the stone slabs. He was completely unaware of it, but his mouth was wide open, his eyes were wide open, and the color in his face faded at a visible speed.

The young archer remained in a posture of listening intently to the recruiting captain, his body stiff as a stone statue, with only his slightly trembling fingertips revealing the turmoil within him.

The argument in front of the blacksmith shop stopped abruptly. The soldiers continued waving their arms and spitting as if they had been choked at the same time.

The complaints outside the apothecary fell silent. The priest and the assassin exchanged bewildered glances, both seeing incredulous confusion and...deep-seated fear in each other's eyes.

Then, the silence was shattered by an even more violent roar!

"Level...level 50?! Advancement?!" The fire mage jumped up, his voice shrill and distorted. "What a joke! I fought tooth and nail to reach level 24! Level 50? Is that even human?!"

"Who?! Who is it?!" The archer grabbed the captain's arm, his nails digging almost into his flesh. "The system said 'player'! It's one of us! Oh my god... level 50..."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" A warrior shook his head violently, his face flushed. "It must be a bug! Or it's the work of an NPC! How could players level up so fast? We're struggling even against level 30 bosses!"

"Advanced... Just hearing the name makes it seem infinitely more powerful than job change..." an assassin player muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with a complex light, a mixture of fear and jealousy, but deep within was a flame of "longing" that he himself was unaware of.

"The preliminary rounds of the Multiverse Battle... begin in seven days..." The girl dressed as a priest was pale, instinctively clutching the healing staff in her arms. "What does this mean? We... we all have to participate?"

Panic spread rapidly, like ink dripping into clear water.

The huge gap in social class was like a bucket of ice water, extinguishing the flame of hope that had just been ignited in the hearts of many.

Level 50?

That means a complete crushing defeat in attributes, skills, and equipment!

This means that these players, who average around level 20, might not even be considered cannon fodder in that unknown preliminary round!

But soon, another emotion began to emerge and spread.

"Lin Tian! It must be Boss Lin Tian!" someone in the crowd suddenly shouted excitedly.

This name, like a bolt of lightning, pierced through the clouds of panic.

"Yes, yes, yes! Who else could it be but him? Who else has that kind of ability?"

"That's right! There have been rumors that Lin Tian has already broken through level 40 and has been soloing high-level maps! Level 50... It's an exaggeration, but if it's him, I believe it!"

"Lin Tian... my god, and he's already this strong?"

The discussion about "Lin Tian" quickly overshadowed the initial panic.

This name is no secret in Luoxia City, and even among players in the level 3 main cities of the entire 9527 continent.

Although most people did not witness the previous undead calamity firsthand, the fragments of information and traces of battle that circulated through various channels made "Lin Tian" a legendary yet real symbol of the pinnacle.

Upon learning that the "first person" to break through level 50 and complete the ultimate advancement was likely Lin Tianhou, many players' mentality underwent a subtle change.

Panic still lingers, but it's mixed with more amazement, admiration, and even a strange sense of pride.

"If it's Lin Tian... then this preliminary round..." A shield warrior stroked the edge of his shield, his fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes.
