Chapter 33: The Fiery Red Lotus, Emergence

Ye Xuan looked at Lin Haidong on the stage and shook his head slightly. This guy must have been hit hard!

Indeed, Lin Haidong was the first one in the class to go up for testing. He was originally full of confidence and excitement. However, he happened to have no talent and could only be an ordinary person. Lin Haidong became withdrawn for a long time because of this…

Three minutes quickly passed, and the awakening spirit ball showed no response. After the time was up, Lin Haidong asked the invigilator, “Teacher, how is my talent?”

The invigilator helplessly replied, “Classmate, you don’t have talent in this area…”

“What?” Lin Haidong felt his heart sink, and his face turned pale.

The homeroom teacher saw this and said, “Lin Haidong, you can go down first.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Haidong walked down in a daze, while the homeroom teacher said, “Teacher Zhao, why don’t you explain the chances of awakening to everyone so that they can be mentally prepared?”

The invigilator nodded and said, “Alright, awakening is completely based on individual talent. The military has been using awakening spirit spheres for awakening for half a month now. In terms of chances, about forty percent of people have the opportunity to awaken, while the remaining sixty percent do not have talent in this area. So, about sixty percent of your class will be eliminated.”

It may sound cruel, but there’s no other way. Among the awakened individuals, most of them are C-class awakeners. The higher the awakening level, the fewer the number. For example, S-class awakeners are extremely rare. There may not even be one in a million people.

In the entire Jiangcheng, it would be considered good to have one S-class awakener. So, everyone should be mentally prepared. The testing will continue.”

Lin Haidong became completely withdrawn and sat there blankly. After a while, he leaned on the desk and started crying.

Then, the second student with the number two went up for testing, but there was still no change in the awakening spirit sphere. It wasn’t until the third student went up that there was finally a change.

After the third student grabbed the awakening spirit ball, about two minutes passed, and a layer of black mist seemed to cover the awakening spirit ball.

Then, a voice sounded from the awakening spirit ball, “Ability identified as Shadow Stealth, ability level C.”

The invigilator recorded the ability level and name, then said, “Alright, student, I have recorded your ability. You can go down now.”

The student asked excitedly, “Teacher, my grades are not good. Can my ability help me get into college?”

The invigilator patiently replied, “C-class abilities are quite common. But with your Shadow Stealth ability, it is suitable for detection. Some second-tier colleges may value you. Also, let me mention that starting this year, all universities will open Awakening Academies specifically for awakeners’ training. After you finish the college entrance examination, you will also undergo awakening testing to activate your talent. C-class awakeners are the most common, unless you have a very rare and unique ability, there’s nothing special. If you test out a B-class ability, congratulations, you don’t need to go through the college entrance examination. You are already qualified to be admitted to a regular second-tier college. A-class ability holders have a smaller chance compared to B-class ability holders. It’s equivalent to reaching the key line, and your future is basically promising. As for S-class awakeners, they can be called the pride of heaven. They are extremely rare. Once an S-class talent is tested, it will be sought after by various prestigious universities!”

The students listened with excitement, dreaming of activating an S-class talent themselves.

One student after another went on stage. Basically, they either had C-class abilities or no talent at all, until Wang Bo went on stage and tested a B-class talent.

He was quite proud, and after getting off the stage, he even looked down on Ye Xuan.

After Wang Bo, it was Ye Xuan’s turn. With a calm smile on his face, he went on stage and held the awakening spirit sphere in his hand.

After a moment, a layer of white light appeared on the awakening spirit ball.

Then, a voice sounded from the awakening spirit ball, “Ability identified as Indestructible Body, ability level A.”

The students below were quite surprised. It was actually an A-class ability?

According to what the invigilator said earlier, Ye Xuan had already reached the key line with an A-class talent. He didn’t even need to take the exam and could be admitted to a regular key university. It was enviable!

It should be noted that before this, Ye Xuan was just an average student. Although his family background was good, his grades had always been mediocre. Now that he had tested an A-class talent, it was truly a transformation!

Wang Bo, who was originally proud, was also dumbfounded after hearing Ye Xuan’s test level.

The invigilator looked at Ye Xuan and praised, “Ye Xuan, your talent is very good. Congratulations!”

Ye Xuan politely replied and then stepped down from the stage. He asked Su Mengli, “Mengli, what class do you think you will be?”

Ye Xuan was well aware that today’s protagonist was not himself. An A-class talent was nothing compared to Su Mengli. Today, she was the real protagonist!

Su Mengli shook her head and said, “I don’t know. Maybe I don’t have this talent?”

At this moment, Su Mengli had a worried expression on her face. Ye Xuan was already excellent in all aspects compared to her. Now that he had tested an A-class talent, she felt that she was becoming more and more unworthy of him!

Ye Xuan said, “That’s impossible. You will definitely have it, and it will be a very powerful talent.”

There were seven or eight students between Ye Xuan and Su Mengli. During the testing of these seven or eight people, there were no surprises. It wasn’t until Su Mengli went on stage that something extraordinary happened.

She stood in front of the awakening spirit ball, and when her hands touched it, a strong red light burst forth from the spirit ball.

Then, a strong red light appeared all over Su Mengli’s body, and various visions appeared above her head:

There was an exceptionally beautiful phoenix, stretching its body and emitting a phoenix cry.

There was a red divine bird with its wings flapping and flames spewing out.

There was also a fire qilin stepping on auspicious clouds, roaring towards the sky…

Underneath these various divine beast visions, a gigantic and incomparable fiery red lotus appeared, enveloping Su Mengli’s body, making her whole person undergo a tremendous change, like a goddess from heaven.

A red lotus mark also appeared on Su Mengli’s forehead, adding to her beauty.

A voice sounded from the awakening spirit ball, “Ability identified as Flame Red Lotus, ability level exceeds the detection limit, provisionally classified as S-class. The testing system has determined that this awakener is a national strategic talent and has notified the relevant departments.”

As soon as the awakening spirit ball’s prompt sounded, the whole class was in an uproar. The teachers were also shocked. Su Mengli actually had such talent? This was too amazing!

The invigilator was dumbfounded, unable to speak for a long time. After half a minute, he stammered, “I never expected that your class would have at least an S-class awakener! This is truly unexpected! Students, from today onwards, your destiny has completely changed. Let’s applaud and congratulate this student!”

The invigilator started applauding, and the other students followed suit after a moment of daze.

At this moment, many students regretted their previous attitudes towards Su Mengli. They had never treated her well, and some even targeted her. Now that Su Mengli had risen to the top, how could she spare them a glance?

Some people also envied Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan and Su Mengli had such a good relationship. Now that Su Mengli was at least an S-class awakener and a national strategic talent, Ye Xuan would probably also rise to success along with her!
