45: Chapter 45 Dragon Sky's Explosive Career Luck
The barrier slowly dissipated.
"Prospective Awakeners, according to the investigation by the Enforcers, there was a slight issue with the security System under the rostrum, which led to the abnormal activation of the barrier."
"The hidden danger has been eliminated, and the Awakening Ceremony will continue. Next up, Yun Lan."
Secretary Wu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing serious happened this time, otherwise, he would have definitely lost his position.
Yun Lan walked onto the Awakening Platform with a confident smile, taking a moment to look back and give Qian Mo a thumbs-up.
Qian Mo returned the gesture; it was a tacit signal between the original owner and Yun Lan.
From Secretary Wu Ming's words, Qian Mo knew that his Little White Wolf should have safely withdrawn, and his heart felt much lighter.
That little fellow is quite naughty; just wait until I get back to see how I punish you...
Qian Mo glanced at Hu Wang, who also looked much more relaxed, his eyes carrying an unnoticeable coldness.
Hu Wang suddenly shivered, feeling as if he were being stared at by some fierce beast.
He turned and gave the youth an awkward, embarrassed smile, then immediately hid behind Xiao Meng's hair, not daring to meet the youth's gaze.
Old fox, I'll settle the score with you later...
Qian Mo shifted his attention back to his friend on the stage who was undergoing Awakening.
In his heart, he felt that Yun Lan's Superpower would definitely not be bad.
Sure enough, a blinding red light shot out from the surface of the star crystal, almost dyeing half the sky red.
"This time it's truly mythical grade!"
But just as everyone was shocked, the red light, which had been full of pressure, suddenly turned into white light.
"Huh?"
But it wasn't over yet. Just as everyone thought the dust had settled, the white light suddenly turned into gold light, then blue light. Finally, it stopped pretending altogether, and the color changed basically every second.
Some Genius's phone ringtone suddenly went off.
As a result, the energetic song of the ringtone perfectly matched the rhythm of the color changes, giving everyone the visual sensation of being in a nightclub.
Everyone present, including the many teachers sitting on the rostrum, stared wide-eyed at this extremely abstract scene.
Finally, as the music drew to a close, the flickering light finally settled on gold.
Yun Lan turned back to look at Secretary Wu Ming, who was still standing there dazed, without any movement.
"Host? Host? What... are you so entranced? Should I go again?"
As he spoke, he pulled his phone out of his pocket and tapped it a few times, and that familiar ringtone rang out again.
"Haha... Little Friend Yun is truly interesting..."
Secretary Wu Ming laughed it off, not daring to criticize him.
"Cough, Gold Superpower, Spiritual Power Value of 200, you... are also impressive."
"Sigh~ Keep it low-key, low-key."
Though he said that, the youth's arrogant expression undoubtedly betrayed his true feelings. After all, who wouldn't be excited upon suddenly learning they are a Genius?
Secretary Wu Ming then read out a few more names; only one person awakened an Epic Grade Superpower, while the others were all common.
"I announce that the Awakening portion of this ceremony has concluded perfectly. We will now formally proceed with the awards and school admissions."
"Eh? Xiao Meng, aren't you going?"
Qian Mo looked at the dazed girl, wondering if the host had missed her name.
"Don't you know? A Beastmaster's Superpower comes from the abilities of their contracted beast, and the Beastmaster and the contracted beast can share Cultivation results. The moment she signed the contract with me, she was already considered an Awakened."
Hu Wang poked his head out from behind Xiao Meng to explain.
"Oh."
Qian Mo replied casually.
"You brat and that little girl have such similar temperaments; neither of you respects your elders!"
Hu Wang grumbled inwardly but said nothing out loud.
After all, he was the one who had dragged Xing Yaoyan into danger, and he still felt a trace of guilt toward the youth.
The award ceremony was quite simple. First place was deservedly Xiao Meng—this was predetermined—rewarded with a Tier 3 Monster Core; because of his higher Spiritual Power Value, second place was Qian Mo, rewarded with one thousand Spiritual Crystals; third place was Yun Lan, rewarded with one hundred thousand Credits...
After the awards, Qian Mo, Xiao Meng, Yun Lan, and another passerby who had awakened an Epic Grade Superpower stood in a row on the stage.
Standing before them were Teacher Long Kong and others from the four major institutions.
Of course, beside Teacher Long Kong was the quirky Captain Li Qiaoyan, who was making a subtle hand gesture toward Qian Mo.
"Everyone here is a favored child of heaven, so I won't waste time with pleasantries. I'll just say one thing: come to Feng Hu Ability University. Our combat facilities are the best in the world, and your strength will improve very quickly here."
Liu Tian said loudly in a gruff voice.
He was very confident; in terms of raw strength, Feng Hu Ability University was tacitly ranked first among the four major institutions.
As he expected, as soon as he finished speaking, the passerby who had awakened an Epic Grade Superpower was very tempted. After hesitating for a moment, they immediately accepted Liu Tian's admission invitation.
This undoubtedly caused the teachers from the other three universities to instantly feel a sense of alarm. Fenghu's strength was obvious to all, but having a top student poached so quickly still increased their pressure.
"Our Zhenhai Academy has plenty of money, and there are two Spiritual Veins in the school..."
"Our Vermilion Bird has the best Body Tempering Pool in the entire Human Alliance, and the male-to-female ratio is one-to-one..."
"Our Longxiang Academy doesn't have much else, but it is very free..."
As soon as Teacher Long Kong finished speaking, Liu Tian and the others began to sneer in their hearts.
These days, who didn't know the desperate situation of the Longxiang Academy? To put it nicely, it was "free"; to put it bluntly, it was too poor, lacking resources, unable to afford equipment, and unable to hire professional teachers.
In fact, Teacher Long Kong also felt his lack of confidence and hurriedly added: "Our school's teachers are the most responsible..."
This time, even the teachers from other schools couldn't hold it in, and light laughter broke out here and there.
Compared to Teacher Long Kong's embarrassment, Captain Li Qiaoyan beside him was much calmer.
"Alright, enough talk. They surely understand the situations of our four universities, so let's not waste time and let them choose directly."
Captain Li Qiaoyan was, after all, representing the Security Bureau now, so there was no problem with her smoothing things over.
"I choose the Longxiang Academy." Qian Mo was not vague; the moment the girl finished speaking, he immediately fulfilled their previous agreement.
"I'll go with my Master." To everyone's surprise, Xiao Meng, the most sought-after one, also decided so casually.
Everyone then focused their gaze on the composed Yun Lan.
As if saying: What about you?
"Don't worry... I'm a pretty casual person, so..."
As he spoke, he pulled his phone from his pocket, opened the calculator page, and set four random numbers from one to four.
"One is Fenghu, two is Zhenhai Academy, three is Vermilion Bird, and four is the Longxiang Academy. I'll leave my fate to the heavens."
With that, he slammed the "equals" button.
The number "1" appeared on the screen!
"Hahaha..." Liu Tian instantly beamed with joy.
Although he didn't get Xiao Meng, at least he had a mythical grade as a backup...
But soon, his smile froze.
"But sorry, I don't believe in fate!"
Yun Lan grinned mischievously, deleted the number, and manually typed in a "4".
"I choose the Longxiang Academy!"
At that moment, Teacher Long Kong felt his mind and body instantly clear, as if he had taken a laxative during constipation and experienced instant relief.
Just as the other teachers wanted to try and persuade them further, Captain Li Qiaoyan quickly produced three blue Electronic Admission Certificates from somewhere.
After quickly guiding the three of them through signing and fingerprinting, she shoved them directly into the arms of Teacher Long Kong, who was still laughing at the sky.
"Teacher Long, stop laughing like an idiot and hurry up and put these documents away."
Only then did Teacher Long Kong realize that his good student had already done everything he should have.
He then smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said sheepishly, "Alright."
Seeing Teacher Long Kong's apologetic manner, everyone else was speechless.
Who exactly is the teacher here, hey!
