*Cough* Got kinda invested in the story.

Chapter 32: The rebirth of Spiritual Energy, Announcement

The rebirth of spiritual energy is about to be made public, and the talent test and college entrance examination will also be conducted simultaneously. Ye Xuan felt quite nervous in his heart.

He organized his thoughts and closed the door to his bedroom. Then, he prepared to extract the prize mentioned by the system.

In the living room, Ye Chengzong had originally planned to chat with his son, but suddenly heard the sound of the door closing. He paused for a moment, wondering if his son was preparing to have a big battle with himself*. Well, he wouldn’t disturb him. They could talk tomorrow.

Ye Xuan naturally had no idea that his father misunderstood the reason for him locking the door.

After he finished his preparations, he played a piece of music on his phone that went, “Today is a good day, and everything I wish for will come true…” to increase his luck.

Then, he silently said in his heart, “Draw the prize!”

In the living room, Ye Chengzong, who had poured a cup of tea, listened to the music and became even more certain of what Ye Xuan was doing. He must be using the music to cover up some other sounds. This child is quite cautious…

“Congratulations, host. You have won a pig-slaughtering knife. Would you like to claim it?”

Ye Xuan was stunned for a moment. A pig-slaughtering knife? His instinctive response was, “Yes!”

Next, Ye Xuan suddenly felt a weight in his hand and involuntarily let go.

Then, he heard a sound like a knife cutting through tofu. This so-called pig-slaughtering knife went straight through the floor tiles and plunged into the cement floor, about a dozen centimeters deep.

Ye Xuan looked at this scene and felt a sense of familiarity. A pig-slaughtering knife? How could there be such a powerful pig-slaughtering knife?

Suddenly, Ye Xuan remembered something. He recalled the domestically-made Linglingqi! The pig-slaughtering knife used by Linglingqi looked like an ordinary pig-slaughtering knife, but in reality, it was extremely sharp.

This knife was said to be the personal kitchen knife of Gan Jiang and Mo Ye, the Swordsmith Kings. It was forged from the cold iron of Mount Tai and absorbed the essence of the sun and moon. It was specialized in killing livestock!

Ye Xuan’s knife would definitely be used against those mutated beasts in the future. It was not wrong to call those mutated beasts livestock. This knife was quite suitable for Ye Xuan.

Moreover, this knife could greatly compensate for Ye Xuan’s lack of attack power. Currently, with Su Mengli’s help, his talent had been raised to the A-class Indestructible Body.

The most outstanding aspect of this ability was defense, followed by his own strength. He had more than enough defense but lacked killing power.

But now, with this invincible pig-slaughtering knife, he no longer had to worry about being unable to kill those mutated beasts!

Next, Ye Xuan reached out, intending to pick up the pig-slaughtering knife. Unfortunately, the blade was deeply embedded in the floor, and Ye Xuan couldn’t pull it out at all.

After holding his breath for a while, Ye Xuan said, “System, can you retrieve the pig-slaughtering knife into the system space?”

“Yes.”

Then, the pig-slaughtering knife disappeared, but the deep imprint left by the knife on the ground did not disappear.

Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the knife was gone, it was fine. The ability to retrieve the pig-slaughtering knife into the system space was actually quite convenient. He no longer had to worry about his weapon being stolen.

Moreover, this pig-slaughtering knife, although powerful, was a bit short. In the future, if Ye Xuan lacked attack range, he could simply throw the pig-slaughtering knife as a long-range weapon.

This lottery system may not be as effective as the actual talent improvement brought by Su Mengli, but it was still quite useful.

The main thing was that the difficulty of this lottery was much easier compared to improving one’s talent. It seemed that in the future, he should make more friends with geniuses.

As long as the favorability rating reached thirty or above, he could participate in the lottery. This would greatly help Ye Xuan’s strength improvement.

Two days had passed, and on this day, China officially announced the occurrence of a certain change in the world, naming it the rebirth of spiritual energy.

The rebirth of spiritual energy caused animals to undergo certain changes, becoming more destructive and having a stronger desire to destroy. Incidents of mutated beasts attacking humans began to occur all over the world.

In order to enable humans to have the ability to fight against mutated beasts, the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed the Awakening Spiritual Shere, which could awaken and evolve humans just like mutated beasts, activating their innate talents.

The second batch of Awakening Spiritual Sheres would be given to all students who were about to take the college entrance examination. In addition to the college entrance examination, there was now another way for college entrance examinees. If a student with poor academic performance awakened a higher talent, their destiny would be directly changed!

This news immediately caused a sensation on the internet. Some people expressed their support, while others expressed their opposition. However, the opposition was ultimately in the minority.

After all, there were too many college entrance examinees, and the parents, relatives, and so on of these college entrance examinees naturally supported their children having such an opportunity.

As for the parents who were younger and had children who were still young but would eventually take the college entrance examination, they would also have such an opportunity in the future.

As for the older parents whose children had already graduated or even started working, they were older and had many busy things in their lives. They were not as active on the internet as young people and naturally had less influence. They couldn’t affect the overall situation.

The middle school students waiting for the college entrance examination were also excited, especially the students with poor grades. They thought their lives would be like this forever, taking the college entrance examination and finding a job after it ended.

As a result, suddenly, there was an additional opportunity. This awakening test completely depended on their own talents and had nothing to do with their background or origins.

They all hoped that they could test out an amazing talent and open up a completely different life for themselves!

Su Mengli was also quite surprised by this matter, but she didn’t think she could awaken any talent. She had been ordinary since she was young, except for being beautiful. What talent could she have?

She hoped that Ye Xuan could awaken some powerful talent…

Time passed bit by bit, and finally, it was the day of the college entrance examination. In the morning of the first day, the talent test was conducted.

The teacher in charge of invigilation, carrying the Awakening Spiritual Shere, came to Ye Xuan’s class. The homeroom teacher and several other teachers were also present.

Then, the homeroom teacher said, “Everyone is well aware that this year’s college entrance examination has undergone a major change. Before the college entrance examination, there is an additional special test to see if everyone has any special talents.
Now, the students in our class will come up to the stage according to their student numbers. I will call out the names. Number one, Lin Haidong!”

When the homeroom teacher said this, all the students in the class became spirited. The boy named Lin Haidong also eagerly went up to the stage.

Then, the invigilator opened the recording device he carried with him and said to Lin Haidong, “Lin, place your hand on the Awakening Spirit Sphere and keep it there for three minutes.”

Lin Haidong’s face turned red with excitement, and he nervously placed his hand on the Awakening Spirit Ball. The ball felt cool and comfortable to the touch. He eagerly looked at the ball, waiting for the test results…
