There were twenty different classes that would conduct the awakening.
Mo Fan was number 48; he would be the last person to receive the awakening.
The Horoom Teacher, who was also their Magic Advisor, Xue Musheng, was already standing at the very front. The awakening would be conducted in front of nurous people. The student's na was called out, and then they would go up front to place their hands on the Awakening Stone in front of the Magic Advisor.
“Hey, the-one-who-entered-through-the-backdoor, you’re not gonna fail the awakening are you? I heard that there are certain incapable people who fail the awakening. A dreg like you should just stop wasting the energy of the expensive Awakening Stone,” on a different line up, an old classmate of Mo Fan, Zhao Kunsan said.
Zhao Kunsan was Mu Bai’s henchman. Mu Bai personally didn’t bully Mo Fan because of his background, so instead, he primarily used Zhao Kunsan to do it.
It was actually possible for the awakening to fail, so Mo Fan was genuinely worried about this part. Strictly speaking he was… yeah, a person who had crossed from a different plane. If his physical body was different from the people from here, then that’d be one of hell of a joke.
“Brother Mo Fan, just ignore this jerk. Wait until you awaken a Fire elent and show him. Then he’ll know the aning behind the phrase, ‘Look down on people from a dog’s eyes.’” Zhang Hou, who was placed in the sa class as Mo Fan said.
Mo Fan didn’t say anything. If it was a different day, he would’ve thrown all sorts of insults at Henchman Zhao Kunsan, however, he wasn’t in the mood today. On one hand, it was because he was truly very nervous. While on the other hand, he didn’t know why the black pendant he wore around his neck was incessantly shaking.
The black colored pendant was the remnant of the backdoor gatekeeper of his old middle school, Old Man Ying. Mo Fan suspected that this ring was the reason behind the great changes in the world. That day, Mo Fan was wearing this pendant when he fell asleep on the mountain behind his school.
Ever since this morning the broken pendant had been acting like it was possessed, constantly trembling. It shook so much that it made his own hand shake without stopping.
Screw your mother! Why do you keep shaking?? You’re just a stupid pendant, so why aren’t you acting like the pendant you are?!
“Mu Bai!” the horoom teacher, Xue Musheng, called out.
“Oh, so that’s Mu Bai. He is indeed very handso, and his grades are the top as well.”
“Yeah, I saw him this morning, I like it. I wonder what kind of elent he’ll awaken? I reckon it won’t be crap elents like Water or Light, will it?”
Mu Bai stood up and imdiately heard a few girls in his class chattering incessantly about him. At sa ti, he also attracted starry-eyed infatuations from other classes.
Mu Bai wore an indifferent expression. His eyes, however, revealed that he was enjoying others discussing him. He walked to the front and stood before the horoom teacher, a humble and confident smile on his face.
“Mu Bai, you’re from the Mu Family who is renowned for their Ice elent right?” Xue Musheng asked with a slight smile.
“Precisely.”
“Good, if you awaken the ice elent, then you will be superior compared to others. However, don’t forget to put in effort too. After all, talent isn’t the decisive aspect to everything.”
Mu Bai nodded, but he thought to himself, “Yes, talent can’t decide everything, but without talent and family resources, then one would have to live forever at the bottom of the society.”
With permission from the horoom teacher, Mu Bai slowly placed his hands on the floating Awakening Stone.
A thick, star shaped compass erged, along with a clear palm print on the Awakening Stone. Mu Bai seed tranquil, but his heart was nervous as he placed his hands on the Awakening Stone…
Thanks to his bloodline, the possibility of him awakening Ice Elent was very high. However, there could also be exceptional circumstances. If he awakened the Water or Light Elent then the Mu Family was unlikely to continue attaching any importance to him. After all, there was no way they would waste their finances just so they could find resources suitable to a different attribute.
He placed his left hand on the stone…
The Awakening Stone suddenly emanated a starry radiance. This radiance turned into strips of star marks that appeared to be an extraordinary vein as it landed on Mu Bai’s left hand.
This was everyone’s first ti seeing the awakening with their own eyes; the students were all tiptoeing as they watched Mu Bai.
Mu Bai was standing there unmoving, as though he was suddenly enlightened. He then raised his head slowly…
“Creak, creak, creak~~~~”
A sudden frosty air curled itself around the Awakening Stone.
The air beca more and more dense. It actually slowly froze the surface of the Awakening Stone, forming a layer of frost!
“Ice Elent! It really is the Ice Elent!!!”
Suddenly, a person behind him began yelling. Following this yell, a few girls screeched.
As Mu Bai heard the noises, he opened his eyes in joy!
It’s actually the Ice Elent! With the Ice Elent, it would be easier for him to be taken in by the Mu Family. The day where he would soar through the skies was not far. To deal with soone like Mo Fan, the dreg of the society, would be like pinching an ant to death… Ah, that’s not right. After awakening the Ice Elent, I will beco an official disciple of the Mu Family. There is no reason for to lower myself to the level of a beggar.
I need to set my standards higher. Who knows? I might even have an opportunity to cultivate together with Mu Ningxue!
“Very good. It is a very pure Ice Elent. I believe an Ice Elent Star Dust should be appearing within your Spiritual World. Cultivate harder, and make it grow even stronger!” the horoom teacher said, with eyes full of praise.
The ability to freeze the Awakening Stone during the awakening ant that the power of his Ice Elent surpassed the average person. He was likely to be a very talented Ice Elent apprentice, and his future was very promising!
“Next, Qiu Yueying!”
After the horoom teacher said this, a girl with a sowhat confident look on her face ca over.
“Alright, Earth Elent. The power of your stardust isn’t bad at all. It seems like the effort you’ve put in is showing!”
“Next, Xu Qinglin!”
“Also Ice Elent.”
At this mont, Mo Fan tiptoed to watch. He discovered that the person who also awakened the Ice Elent, Xu Qinglin, caused a layer of faint frosty mist to erge. It did not freeze the Awakening Stone though.
From this, one could tell that even if this was the Ice Elent, Xu Qinglin’s talent and cultivation was much lower than Mu Bai.
“Next, Lu Xiaobing.”
“Hm, Water Elent!”
“Ahhh, oh my god, how could I be Water Elent? I should be a Fire Elent!” suddenly, the classmate called ‘Lu Xiaobing’ called out in bewildernt. The people within the circumference of a hundred Mi heard this.
“Don’t be discouraged. No matter what Elent you cultivate, as long as you can beco an Interdiate-level Mage, you will obtain even more recognition.”
Lu Xiaobing had no other choice. He could only return to his own seat in low spirits.
In fact, the awakening in the beginning was very important. If it was a Fire Elent, then one could possess a certain level of combat prowess as a Primary-level Magician. That allowed future cultivation to happen much more easily.
The Primary-level Water Elent skill was ‘Water Shield,’ and its defensive power was not as strong as the Earth Elent. If one was not proficient in it, then the effects were not very clear. At the very least, that’s how it worked among the Primary-rank Mages.
