51: Calm down!

One gamble!

Use this one percent chance to fight for the future of his entire family!

Sun Yi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, only determination remained.

"Teacher, I've made up my mind."

He bowed deeply to the Dean.

"I am willing to bear all consequences!"

The Dean looked at him, opened his mouth, and finally, all words of persuasion turned into a long sigh.

"So be it."

He waved his hand and stepped aside.

This was the student's own choice; he had no right to interfere.

All eyes in the hall converged on Sun Yi.

Sun Yi placed his hand on the Awakening Stone again, focusing all his mental energy on those two runes.

Merge into one!

Buzz!

The white light and green light instantly surged, then violently collided!

There was no fusion as imagined, but intense repulsion and conflict!

The two forces tangled wildly on the Awakening Stone, and the energy fluctuations that radiated out made the entire podium tremble slightly.

Sun Yi's body trembled violently, his face instantly turned ashen, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

Failed?

Everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Sun Yi's parents' vision went black, and they nearly fainted.

Lin Yao nervously clutched Lin Yu's sleeve, her palms covered in sweat.

"Brother... is he going to fail?"

"I don't know."

Lin Yu calmly uttered three words.

Just as everyone thought the fusion was about to fail and Sun Yi would be ruined.

An anomaly suddenly occurred!

In the center of that violent white and green light, a faint but incredibly profound earthy yellow halo suddenly lit up!

The appearance of this halo seemed to act as a perfect adhesive.

The originally conflicting white and green lights actually began to slowly, yet firmly, merge together, with this earthy yellow as their core!

The conflict disappeared.

The repulsion was gone.

Finally, all the light converged to a single point, and then... burst forth!

A dazzling, noble purple light pillar shot into the sky!

Within the light pillar, a brand new rune, more complex and profound than any previous rune, slowly condensed into shape!

The entire sports field was silent.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden and incredibly shocking scene.

He succeeded?

He actually succeeded!

On the podium, the Dean almost stumbled and crawled to the Awakening Stone. He widened his eyes, staring intently at the purple rune, his voice trembling with excitement.

"[Purple · Rare Profession]..."

"[Earth Treasure Hunter]!"

"Oh my god! It's purple! It's really a purple top-tier profession!"

At this moment, the entire Linzhou No. 1 High School completely erupted!

"Sun Yi! Awesome!"

The entire sports field exploded, all the students watched Sun Yi on the podium with an almost worshipful fervor. He succeeded, he used a one percent chance to win his life's gamble!

Sun Yi himself, at the moment he saw the purple rune, his legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground. He gasped for air, his face indistinguishable between sweat and tears, but he just grinned, laughing silently.

He won! He won the gamble!

The representatives of the major powers on the podium were also very moved.

"Quick! Check all of Sun Yi's information! I want him! S-class contract!"

"Nonsense! A profession like his would have the best development at our Panshi Biology! We'll give him the best earth-attribute resource allocation!"

Feng Rui, the Vice President of Fengxing Technology, also forgot about the "minor issue" of the black market at this moment. He stood up directly and ordered his assistant.

"Tell him Fengxing Technology can sponsor his entire family to immigrate to the provincial capital and arrange the best nursing home for his parents! There's only one condition: sign with us!"

A fierce talent war had already begun before Sun Yi even stepped off the stage.

This scene deeply stimulated every student below the stage who had not yet awakened.

A green excellent profession could only attract an intention for a B-class contract.

But a purple top-tier profession could make these giants tear each other's faces off and snatch people on the spot!

The difference was clear at a glance.

Thus, when the next student who awakened multiple professions stepped onto the stage, everyone's hearts rose to their throats.

On the Awakening Stone, a white light and a blue light lit up.

"[White Common Profession · Hunter]"

"[Blue Fine Profession · Eagle Eye]"

Another combination with excellent compatibility!

"Merge! Merge quickly!"

"Take a gamble! Turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!"

The students below the stage began to cheer wildly.

That boy was clearly also carried away by Sun Yi's success. He looked at the two lights, his face full of greed and longing.

"Teacher, I choose to merge!"

The Dean's face turned green. He wanted to stop him, but the boy had already pressed his hand down.

Buzz!

The light surged!

But this time, no miracle happened.

The blue and white lights merely collided, then, like a punctured balloon, both instantly vanished!

The light on the Awakening Stone completely extinguished.

The boy froze in place, the color draining from his face at a visible speed.

"No... impossible... where are my professions?"

The Dean rushed over, checked the Awakening Stone, and finally announced with a pained heart: "Fusion failed, profession imprint collapsed, awakening failed."

Ruined.

A genius who could have had a blue fine profession just became a waste like that.

The entire venue instantly fell silent, the previously fervent atmosphere instantly cooled as if a basin of ice water had been poured over it.

This wasn't over yet.

Next, two more students who awakened multiple professions, influenced by Sun Yi's success and the tragic state of the first failure, chose to merge with a Luck mentality (stroke of luck/wishful thinking).

The result, without exception, was all failures!

A girl who awakened [Chef] and [Fire Control] failed to merge, her spiritual sea was burned, and she fainted on the spot.

A boy who awakened [Blacksmith] and [Strength Enhancement] failed to merge, and both profession imprints disappeared.

The continuous failures made everyone completely sober up.

The Dean seized the opportunity, immediately picked up the microphone, and his stern voice echoed throughout the venue.

"Now! Everyone calm down!"

"I'll say it again, the success rate of profession fusion is infinitely close to zero! Sun Yi's success is a one-in-ten-thousand, no, a one-in-hundred-thousand, one-in-a-million miracle! It cannot be replicated!"

"To put it another way! Whatever profession each of you awakens is already destined the moment you place your hand on it! If it's meant to be yours, it will naturally appear in its fused form! Forcibly merging is gambling with your life! Can you afford to gamble?!"

These words finally calmed everyone down.

No one dared to mention the word "fusion" again.

Until a boy walked onto the stage.
