I Hide My Talent While Copying the World's Strongest

In a world where talent decides everything, Lu Chen was given the weakest one of all — or so everyone believes. Publicly, he's just another forgettable student with a laughable E-tier talent. Privately, he holds a power that shouldn't exist: [Universal Copy] — an ability with no rank, no classification, and no limit. Every talent within a kilometer is his to take. Every genius who mocks him is just raw material waiting to be copied. He finishes exams in seconds and pretends to struggle. He crushes elite rivals and accepts "average" scores. While the world calls humanity the weakest race in the universe, Lu Chen has already built a hidden legion of legendary talents that no one has ever seen. Twelve years ago, demons burned his home to the ground and took his parents from him. He was told it was random. He was told to move on. He was lied to. The truth is closer than he ever imagined — hiding behind the warm smile of the man who raised him, protected him, and has been watching him grow stronger for twelve long years... waiting for the one thing only Lu Chen can give him. Some geniuses are born strong. Lu Chen was born to take that strength for himself. The countdown to revenge has already begun.
