1: Awakening Ritual

[In the early hours of the morning, several border cities in our country were attacked by beast hordes, with three cities in critical condition and on the verge of falling!]

[The daughter of the Heavenly Sword Alliance Leader, Li Tangchu, slays a demon dragon with a single sword strike! PS: High-definition, uncensored video included.]

[Unbelievable, triplets Ji Bochang, Ji Boduan, and Ji Bochu awaken identical Wood Attribute combat professions!]

...Tianhua City, Yunhai High School.

The classroom was bright, and students listened attentively to the Teacher speaking at the front. Lu Yuan, sitting in the last row, was engrossed in his phone.

"Transmigrated?"

Lu Yuan felt dazed.

He only remembered eating hot dry noodles on the street when an out-of-control Dayun brand truck crashed into him head-on. The next second, he appeared here.

This was a world where demons ran rampant, and everyone lived in fear.

A thousand years ago, the spiritual energy of Blue Star revived, demons invaded, and fierce beasts rose!

To survive and protect their homeland, people awakened various professions to fight against demons, which prevented the complete annihilation of humanity!

Lu Yuan, who was learning about Blue Star through the news, suddenly felt a killing intent and raised his hand to catch a piece of chalk.

"Awesome, you caught that too!"

His deskmate, Cai Xukun, gave him a thumbs up.

"Lu Yuan, are you listening to me!" Teacher Zhou Wenbin was furious.

"Don't you know that even if you awaken a combat profession, without a solid theoretical foundation, it's all for naught? The same goes for support and life-skill professions!"

Lu Yuan, caught daydreaming, stood up, listening to the old Teacher's classic speech.

Awakenings on Blue Star occurred uniformly at eighteen, with a wide variety of professions, roughly divided into the three types Teacher Zhou Wenbin mentioned.

Combat professions were the most sought after, as they granted power beyond ordinary comprehension. Next were support and life-skill professions.

And today was Awakening Day.

The fifty-plus students in the classroom all stared at Lu Yuan, clearly enjoying the spectacle.

"Lu Yuan really walked into a trap this time. It's bad enough he doesn't listen normally, but he had to do it when the old Teacher was talking about the precautions for the Awakening Ceremony."

"He's probably given up on himself. He fails every mock exam."

"Teacher Zhou, what's there to say to a poor student like him who always ranks last in assessments and drags down our class average? It's even questionable whether Lu Yuan can successfully awaken."

Qin Shousheng, sitting in the front row, dressed in designer clothes, said disdainfully.

Hearing this, even Teacher Zhou Wenbin felt it was a bit much.

"Quiet everyone, pay attention!" Teacher Zhou Wenbin tapped on the desk to get their attention.

Lu Yuan sat back down and looked at Qin Shousheng, who was in the front row.

This person had some conflict with the original owner, simply because the goddess he secretly admired became the original owner's girlfriend, so he often caused trouble for the original owner.

The dismissal bell rang, and as soon as Teacher Zhou Wenbin left, the classroom instantly became lively.

"So nervous, we're about to awaken. What profession do you all want to awaken?" someone asked.

"Of course, a combat profession, preferably one with a fierce attribute like lightning!"

"I think a support profession is quite good. You all fight at the front, and I'll be responsible for healing at the back."

"How will you heal?"

"Oh, you!"

Everyone generally wanted to awaken combat or support professions; no one mentioned life-skill professions.

The noisy discussion about awakening professions continued in the classroom. Qin Shousheng looked at Lu Yuan with a playful smile.

"Lu Yuan, I heard Lin Shuying awakened a Space Attribute combat profession. She's probably going to break up with you!" Qin Shousheng gloated.

Lin Shuying was the goddess he secretly admired.

Awakening Day was divided into morning and afternoon. They were scheduled to awaken in the afternoon, while Lin Shuying's Class 2 was in the morning.

Common combat profession attributes were the Five Elements; the Space Attribute was a hidden attribute.

Lin Shuying was the only person in the entire school to awaken a Space Attribute combat profession!

The classroom instantly fell silent. Lin Shuying was the acknowledged campus belle of Yunhai High School.

It was common knowledge in the class that Qin Shousheng liked Lin Shuying.

"I guess Qin Shousheng is right. Lin Shuying will most likely break up with Lu Yuan."

"Sigh, they're no longer in the same world. Lin Shuying, who awakened the Space Attribute, doesn't even need to take the Martial Examination; she'll be directly admitted to a top university. It's hard to say if Lu Yuan can even awaken a combat profession."

"If you ask me, Lu Yuan should just break up with her first. That way, he'd at least save some face."

The classmates chattered, feeling some sympathy for Lu Yuan.

After all, Lu Yuan had decent popularity in class and was handsome, but unfortunately, he encountered such a situation.

"You're this happy about me breaking up with Lin Shuying?" Lu Yuan looked at the smug Qin Shousheng.

"If you two break up, I can naturally pursue Shuying. First, I'll send her 999 roses, then I'll use all the pocket money my dad gave me to buy her demon crystals..."

Qin Shousheng couldn't help but laugh as he spoke, having already thought of names for his and Lin Shuying's children.

"That's a good idea, but let me tell you two things."

Thinking of Lin Shuying's actions towards the original owner—typically hypocritical, wanting to spend all the original owner's living expenses on herself, yet pretending it was voluntary and had nothing to do with her.

Lu Yuan felt it wasn't worth it for the original owner.

"Bless us?"

Qin Shousheng thought Lu Yuan had completely accepted his fate.

"You thought that road was a one-way street, but there are actually three paths you can take," Lu Yuan said.

Qin Shousheng: "???"

Classmates: "???"

Pfft—

Someone understood Lu Yuan's words and burst out laughing. The entire classroom was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, except for Qin Shousheng.

"Lu Yuan, you..."

Qin Shousheng trembled with anger, pointing at Lu Yuan.

For Lu Yuan, breaking up with Lin Shuying was just breaking up; the next one would be better.

Compared to breaking up or not, he was more concerned about the profession he would awaken later.

Three sentences made Qin Shousheng completely red with anger. Before he could reach Lu Yuan, the broadcast suddenly blared!

"Students from Senior Year Class 6 to Class 15, assemble on the sports field! The Awakening Ceremony is about to begin!"

"Students from Senior Year Class 6 to Class 15, assemble on the sports field! The Awakening Ceremony is about to begin!"

...It repeated several times!

"It's finally starting!"

Lu Yuan felt excited and strode towards the sports field with the group!
