As the Awakening Chamber began to operate, the ten people inside instantly fell asleep, closing their eyes.
This state lasted for about five minutes.
Then, the Awakening Chamber opened, accompanied by bursts of white gas.
The ten people who had gone in for their Talent Awakening all stumbled out of the chambers, their consciousnesses seemingly not yet clear.
In the Awakening Chamber’s backend management room, a middle-aged man serving as the data analyst scanned the awakening data of these ten individuals and nodded in satisfaction.
“Not bad, the lowest is B-rank potential.”
Talent potential represented the minimum level a person could reach, with an accuracy rate of 99%.
However, this did not mean their final upper limit was equal to their potential.
After all, the potential predictions provided by the Awakening Chamber were not always accurate, and many people had opportunities for growth later in life.
At the same time, the analyst was not alone in the room. Association President Meng Fei and the Mayor of the Base City, Chen Xun, were also present.
However, the two of them only glanced over briefly before looking away.
This kind of event happened several times almost every year, but the probability of a surprise high-talent individual appearing was minuscule — a complete waste of time.
If not for the regulations, these two busy men would not have come here to supervise the Awakening Ceremony at all.
Just as the ten newly awakened individuals were gradually regaining consciousness, several excited voices immediately rang out from among them.
“Holy crap, I feel like I’m full of energy! My strength is overflowing!”
“Fire, it’s fire! I’ve awakened a Supernatural Type Talent!”
Before these ten people could fully immerse themselves in the joy of awakening their Talents, a teacher responsible for student safety stepped forward and said in a serious tone, “Students who have completed their awakening, please go to the training plaza to the side for combat capability testing and training. Do not interfere with the Awakening Ceremony for other students!”
It seemed to be an intentional arrangement, as the ten students with the top scores in both theory and practical combat classes throughout the city were assigned to the same batch for Talent Awakening.
Hearing this result, Ye Yao said in surprise, “I didn’t expect we would get special treatment.”
“Let’s go then,” Su Aoxue said, taking the lead.
Although he already knew that his future talent would be the Supernatural Type Power of Glacial Calamity, Su Aoxue was still curious about his own Talent Awakening. After all, this Power of Glacial Calamity was an external force that did not belong to him! If he could awaken another talent, wouldn’t that mean he had the support of double talents?
As the chamber door closed, Su Aoxue slowly closed his eyes. Immediately after, he arrived in a pure white space where nothing seemed to exist except for him.
‘What is this place?’
The pure white space was very small, and Su Aoxue could touch the barriers on both sides just by stretching out his palms.
‘Is this what awakening is like?’
Before Su Aoxue could feel anything else, he felt a sudden intuition and immediately opened his eyes. He then saw the Awakening Chamber open, with white mist swirling around. It seemed the awakening had already ended…
Su Aoxue looked at his hands in a daze. ‘I don’t feel anything at all. Is it because of that bottle of medicine Ling Feng gave me? Or did the Power of Glacial Calamity really become so domineering that it consumed my original talent…?’
Other than feeling that the Power of Glacial Calamity inside his body was flowing faster, he had no other special sensations. He subsequently walked out of the Awakening Chamber, feeling somewhat confused, and stood straight. Then, Su Aoxue realized that many people seemed to be staring at him.
‘What does this mean? Are they anticipating what talent I awakened?’
At the same time, Su Aoxue casually put his baseball cap back on his head amidst the surprised looks of the crowd. It was at this moment that he suddenly felt his hair, which had inexplicably grown past his ears!
‘What the…!!!’
His hair clearly hadn’t been this long before he entered the Awakening Chamber!
‘Tsk, don’t even call it an Awakening Chamber anymore. Might as well call it a Feminization Accelerator!’
Su Aoxue felt a bit depressed as he went to find Shen Yan.
Unlike his relaxed and slightly confused demeanor, the others were all unsteady on their feet as they walked out of the Awakening Chamber due to it being their first awakening. Among them, a fleeting black light flashed through Shen Yan’s eyes, and a shocked expression appeared in his pupils.
Something unexpected compared to the memories of his past life had occurred…
Meanwhile, inside the backend management room, the analyst’s eyes widened and his mouth hung open as he looked at the data of the ten individuals in front of him in total shock. Not only was the analyst shocked, but even the Association President and the Mayor of the Base City were staring at the data panel before them in disbelief.
“This is… this is a double SS-rank talent!”
“There’s also an S-rank talent! And an… uh, A-rank talent.”
“Oh my god… this… this, this, this!”
After being stunned for a good while, the analyst finally cried out, his words becoming somewhat incoherent.
“In history, as long as an owner of a double SS-rank talent doesn’t perish prematurely, they will all become peak human combatants in the future — Old Meng, we are witnessing history!”
“Not only that, there is also a little fellow with an S-rank talent. In all my years of supervising Awakening Ceremonies, this is the first time I’ve encountered such an exhilarating event!”
Chen Xun, the Mayor of the Base City standing behind them, spoke with equal excitement.
As the mayor of a remote Base City, unless something spectacular happened here, the Core Base City would never notice them, let alone invest more resources.
This was Chen Xun’s hometown, and the emergence of such a double SS-rank talent meant the status of their Base City would rise accordingly, bringing more welfare policies.
How could Chen Xun not be happy that his hometown could become better and better?
“We are indeed witnessing history. Congratulations, Mayor Chen. Your Base City is about to prosper,” Meng Fei said with a slight smile.
Unlike Chen Xun, as the Association President of the Martial Artist Agreement Guild, he was temporarily assigned here and would leave once his term ended. Therefore, upon seeing the appearance of a double SS-rank talent, his first thought was how to recruit them into his Guild. If he succeeded, his status would also rise when he returned to the Guild.
After he finished celebrating, Chen Xun immediately took out his phone and called his subordinates.
“I need you to assign a group of trustworthy people to secretly protect two individuals.”
……
Because talent potential remains highly confidential until the Talent Awakening Ceremony is fully completed, this information had to be transmitted to the Core Base City first before it could be announced.
Furthermore, if high-talent individuals appeared among the batch of awakened students, the announcement would have to wait until the guard team dispatched by the Core Base City arrived.
Therefore, the people who awakened today did not yet know what their talent potential actually was.
Currently, everyone was in the training field, excitedly testing the talent abilities they had already awakened and speculating about their potential.
On the training field, Su Aoxue turned his gaze toward Shen Yan, who had been silent and seemed to have something on his mind since leaving the Awakening Chamber.
“What did you awaken? Why do you look so serious?”
