Chapter 235: Irreconcilable Differences

Su Mengli glanced at the other party and said lightly, “Your child is indeed pitiful, but you as a couple, are not pitiful at all!

Judging by your attire, in the Magic City, you are also an elite, a high-class intellectual, right?

During the incident at the gym, we Awakened individuals were constantly trying to save people. Yes, it is true that some Awakened individuals were forced to compete with ordinary people, resulting in the deaths of some ordinary individuals.

But in that situation, whether it’s an Awakened individual or an ordinary person, they both have the right to live. Ask yourself, did they do anything wrong by doing so?

If your four-year-old son was an Awakened individual, and he was taken by Zhao Tiansheng along with an ordinary child.

Zhao Tiansheng made the two children compete, the winner could live, and the loser would die. Would you let your son commit suicide to fulfill the other party? Do you think it makes sense for you to cause trouble here?”

Su Mengli’s words left the middle-aged man speechless. He was not stupid; those who came here to cause trouble could understand the reasoning behind it.

They were all very shrewd; only a small minority of them were misled, while the majority did it because they gained tangible benefits.

For example, this middle-aged man, his boss promised him that if he brought his wife to cause trouble at the Awakening Academy, he would receive a two-thousand-yuan raise every month, which amounted to twenty-four thousand a year.

For him, this increase was already a considerable income, and all he had to do was follow the crowd to cause trouble, so he did it.

Unfortunately, the price of doing so far exceeded his imagination. What he paid was the life of his wife!

The middle-aged man regretted more and more as he held his wife’s body, crying bitterly, his voice filled with sorrow.

There were many people similar to the middle-aged man; they basically brought their families with them, and now their families had suffered casualties, looking desolate and miserable.

There was another young man in his twenties named Li Yang, who was holding a bloody skull, standing there with a look of despair.

This time, Li Yang’s boss promised him that as long as he participated in this trouble, he would be promoted to a supervisor afterwards.

In order to become a supervisor, Li Yang worked very hard during this trouble, mobilizing his parents to join in all the actions.

Unfortunately, out of the family of three, only Li Yang survived. His parents were all devoured by the mutated beasts, with his father luckily leaving behind a skull.

As for his mother, because the strange beast was too ferocious, it even chewed and ate her skull, after all, big bones are good for calcium…

Li Yang held his father’s skull, looking at Su Mengli and the other awakened individuals floating in the air, his eyes filled with hatred.

He said word by word, “From now on, I, Li Yang, swear that I am irreconcilable with you Awakened individuals.

If there is a chance, I will kill one when I see one, kill a pair when I see a pair. If I violate this oath, let me be struck by lightning, torn apart by mutated beasts, and have a miserable death!”

Li Yang’s voice was loud, and he still held a skull in his hand, standing there looking very domineering. Su Mengli and Ye Xuan both glanced at him.

Of course, neither of them paid much attention to Li Yang, after all, he was just an ordinary person. What difference does it make to make such an oath? In this lifetime, he will never have the ability to seek revenge.

At this moment, Li Yang gritted his teeth, his hatred constantly rising in his heart, looking at his father’s skull stained with blood, his hatred suddenly underwent a certain sublimation.

Li Yang felt a powerful energy flowing within his body, and he suddenly let out a loud shout.

Then, his whole body burst into flames, bathing in the flames, he did not feel uncomfortable at all, but rather comfortable.

Lin Xu, Ye Xuan, and others were all surprised to look over. Was this awakening due to the stimulation of hatred?

Ye Xuan said, “Dean Lin, you are knowledgeable, what ability do you think he has?”

Lin Xu looked at the flames on Li Yang’s body and said, “It looks like he has the ability of A-class Flame Body. His whole body can turn into a burning state, his body strength is not low, and the flames on his body can also be released externally, quite practical.”

After hearing Lin Xu’s words, Ye Xuan said, “It’s a pity that with his hatred towards the Awakened individuals, he will never have the opportunity to enhance his strength in this lifetime.”

At this moment, Li Yang looked at the flames on his body, feeling confused. He, Li Yang, was an office worker, and his luck was not good, he did not catch a good time.

This time, with the rebirth of spiritual energy, China officially arranged for awakening. There were roughly three batches: the first batch was active-duty soldiers, the second batch was middle school students, and the third batch was college students.

After these three batches, every year, a new batch of middle school students would undergo talent testing and awaken.

Such an arrangement was very friendly to young people, and the children were the same. Regardless of their age, these children would eventually rise to middle school.

But for slightly older people like Li Yang, it was different. He was an office worker and did not have such an opportunity.

For ordinary members of society who wanted to awaken, they had to spend money to purchase the opportunity for testing, and to undergo a test, it cost a whopping fifty thousand.

Li Yang was of average means, with an average job, he did not have that much money. Although he participated in this trouble for the benefits, deep down, he was very eager to become an Awakened individual. Now that he suddenly awakened, he was first confused, then excited.

Then, he suddenly looked at Lin Xu and said, “Dean Lin, I have awakened, can I join your academy?”

Li Yang’s words stunned Lin Xu. Just a while ago, Li Yang was still one of the troublemakers, and his parents had tragically died in this incident, with his mother’s remains destroyed and his father left with only a skull. He even swore to be irreconcilable with the Awakened individuals.

But now, he had awakened and actually wanted to join the Awakening Academy. Wasn’t this a joke?

Lin Xu, the future headless war god, was stunned for a few seconds after hearing Li Yang’s words before saying, “You just swore that you are irreconcilable with us Awakened individuals, that you would kill one when you see one, kill a pair when you see a pair. Do you think it’s possible for you to join our academy, conspire against the students of the academy?”

Li Yang’s face changed instantly and said, “How is that possible? I am an Awakened individual myself, how could I conspire against Awakened individuals?”

Lin Xu said lightly, “In any case, I won’t believe you. Your parents died because of today’s events. Do you think I will trust you?”

Upon hearing this, Li Yang became anxious. Although he had just awakened out of anger, he had once understood that the enhancement of Awakened abilities required spirit stones and resources.

Currently, these resources were mostly controlled by the academy. As long as he could join the academy, his strength would be steadily enhanced.

Li Yang had long envied those very powerful Awakened individuals, high above, easily killing mutated beasts, enjoying the cheers and adoration of the crowd, money, women, as much as he wanted, it was really cool.

Therefore, he absolutely could not miss this opportunity! He must find a way to join the academy; otherwise, even if he awakened, without resources to enhance his abilities, he would just be cannon fodder.

Thinking of this, Li Yang directly placed his father’s skull on the ground, then knocked his head a few times in front of his father’s skull and said, “Dad, Mom, forgive me for being unfilial. I can’t avenge you in this lifetime.”

After Li Yang finished speaking, he stood up, then found a small knife from somewhere on his body, cut off a strand of his hair.

Then, only Li Yang said, “I, Li Yang, swear here, from now on, I will sever his father-son relationship with Li Bin, sever his mother-son relationship with Chen Huiyu, and have no further connection!”
