“Cough cough… Silence, everyone!”

After a while, a deep and loud voice suddenly sounded in the sky above the square.

It directly suppressed the noise around them.

Everyone immediately fell silent. At the same time, their gazes gathered on the Awakening Platform not far away.

Standing before the mysterious Awakening Divine Stone, Instructor Jin, who was dressed in a luxurious gray robe, slowly opened the name list in his hand.

The other party was the Year Dean of Fuyuan Academy and also the teacher of Lin Xiu’s class.

“Everyone has been studying in Fuyuan College for three years. I believe that you are well prepared!”

“Next, the students whose names have been called, please come up to the stage in an orderly manner and carry out the Awakening Ceremony!”

Instructor Jin’s stern voice resounded throughout the entire square. It seemed to carry a vast magical power that was directly transmitted into the ears of every student.

After saying that, Instructor Jin turned his head and looked at the white-haired old man who was standing at the side with a respectful expression.

“Elder Gu, please start the test.”

After bowing slightly to the other party, Elder Jin immediately flipped open the register in his hand.

His voice resounded in the sky above the square.

“Class (1) student, Wan Zhuoyun.”

As Instructor Jin’s voice fell, a young man with a tall and straight figure and a sharp gaze walked out from the bustling crowd below the square.

The other party was wearing a luxurious silk robe. Although it was the style of Fuyuan Academy’s uniform, due to the special nature of the fabric, it was extremely eye-catching even in the crowd.

Just from the way he dressed, one could tell that this student came from a wealthy family.

After being called by Instructor Jin, Wan Zhuoyun immediately walked up to the Awakening Platform in large strides.

Many students below the stage looked curiously at the Divine Stone that was emitting a mysterious light.

He wanted to see what kind of innate talent this Young Master from the Wan Family would Awaken!

Under everyone’s gaze, Wan Zhuoyun did not hesitate. He immediately closed his eyes and placed his palm on the Divine Stone in front of him.

In the next second, everyone in the square heard a buzz.

The Divine Stone on the stage suddenly shone, and a dense orange light emerged from it.

The dazzling light flickered in the air and stopped for a moment before fusing into the student’s body!

“Wan Zhuoyun, Awakening complete. Inherited Class, Warrior, innate talent rating D!”

Elder Gu, who was standing next to the Divine Stone, looked at the orange-yellow light that had fused into the latter’s body and announced calmly.

“It’s a success!”

Hearing the voice beside his ear, Wan Zhuoyun immediately opened his eyes, and a look of joy immediately appeared in his pitch-black eyes!

The originally nervous expression on his face had turned into intense excitement at this moment.

“Yes… Not bad, a warrior with a D-grade talent has a bright future,” Instructor Jin said with a smile on his face.

Although Wan Zhuoyun had awakened a Warrior that was common among the Combat Classes, with the addition of his D-grade talent, he would be able to play a role in large-scale battlefields in the future!

Compared to the students in the square, this was already a pretty good result.

The first student to be tested had Awakened a Combat Class. This could be considered a good start for the Academy.

Hearing Instructor Jin’s praise, Wan Zhuoyun immediately responded with a smile.

“This is all thanks to your guidance, Instructor Jin.”

“Okay, please go down first!” Instructor Jin was very satisfied with Wan Zhuoyun’s humility.

Very soon, Wan Zhuoyun left the Awakening Platform with a beaming face. The other students whose names were called also began their Awakening Ceremony.

Unfortunately, they did not have the same luck as the previous student. Most of them had awakened a Life Class similar to the plumber and civil worker.

After hearing Elder Gu’s announcement, the students who had been anticipating the Awakening were in pain.

Their faces were ashen and their eyes were lifeless. They could not accept this result for a moment.

“Take them away first.”

Instructor Jin was also a little disappointed. He immediately arranged for his assistant to take the students who had failed to Awaken away.

The earlier Wan Zhuoyun who had walked down with such pride, the expressions of the students behind him were just as pained.

There was a huge difference in their expressions, which reflected the true situation of Classes and non-Classes.

Lin Xiu, who was standing at the back of the group, saw everything. The originally calm expression on his face had already become somewhat cold at this moment.

“Next, Class (1), Ding Shiyu.”

On the Awakening Platform not far away, Instructor Jin’s deep and familiar voice sounded again.

Hearing Instructor Jin mention a name that he was sensitive to, Lin Xiu immediately raised his head and looked warily at a certain spot in the crowd ahead!

At this moment, it was more than halfway through the Awakening Ceremony. Among the more than 100 people who had been tested earlier, only less than a third of students had Combat Classes.

Among the other people, the number of people who Awakened a Life Class was basically the same as the number of people who failed to Awaken a Class.

Such a dismal Awakening rate of the Combat Class caused the entire square to resound with mournful cries.

Everyone yearned to become get a Class. Although this was accompanied by many risks, who would be willing to give up a life of luxury and become one of the lowest members of society!

Therefore, at this moment, not only were those who had failed to Awaken complaining, even Instructor Jin, who was on the Awakening Platform, did not look too good.

“Ding Shiyu…”

If she went up on stage, she should be able to Awaken an even stronger Combat Class!

Instructor Jin’s expression softened slightly as he immediately read out the other party’s name.

His voice echoed in the square.

After a while, a girl with a graceful figure and exquisite face walked out from the crowd below.

The girl was wearing a cream-colored, slim-fit short skirt and a knitted gown of the same color but of an outstanding design. This outfit made her stand out among the group of girls.

The beige dress not only outlined her tall and slender figure, but also made Ding Shiyu’s temperament appear gentle and high-class.

As they watched Ding Shiyu slowly walk up the Awakening Platform, many male students below the stage revealed fiery gazes.

However, Lin Xiu, who was standing at the back of the group, revealed an undisguised look of disgust.

That person called Ding Shiyu was the daughter of the Ding Family Leader of Linyue City, the enemy who kept devouring the Lin Clan’s assets.

And Wan Zhuoyun, who had successfully awakened earlier, was also one of the enemies of the Lin Family. It was because the two great families had been constantly suppressing the Lin Family.

That was why they had fallen to such a state!

Towards this kind of person, how could Lin Xiu possibly show a good expression?

Under everyone’s gaze, Ding Shiyu walked to the Awakening Divine Stone.

“Don’t be nervous. Just follow the procedure.”

Instructor Jin’s voice was rather gentle as he gently played with the jade ring on his thumb.

Ding Shiyu nodded and immediately took two steps forward. She slowly placed her snow-white hands on the Divine Stone.

Whoosh…

The silence did not last long. Suddenly, a gust of wind appeared in the square.

Immediately after, a light green wind blade descended on Ding Shiyu’s body. The Divine Stone in front of her also erupted with a bright light green pillar of light!

“Hidden Class!”

Elder Gu, who had been paying attention to the movement of the Divine Stone, changed his expression slightly and said in surprise.

In the next moment, the light pillar and the wind blades dissipated. The Awakening Platform returned to silence as if nothing had happened.

“Ding Shiyu has successfully Awakened. She has inherited a Combat Class. She specializes in wind magic and has a D-grade talent!”

As the special-effect-like phenomenon dissipated, Instructor Jin immediately announced the success of the other party’s Awakening.

Ding Shiyu, who was standing on the stage, was instantly delighted. Her beautiful eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy.

Although she was the daughter of the famous Lin Family’s branch Family Leader, she had lived a luxurious life since she was young.

However, Awakening was equally important to her. If she failed this time, what awaited her was the fate of an ordinary person who was sent to a shop to take care of the business.

Therefore, when she found out that she had successfully Awakened and obtained a rare Class, Ding Shiyu’s heart knot was finally opened. A feeling of excitement and joy almost occupied her heart.

“Go down and have a good rest,” Instructor Jin said with a smile. Since Ding Shiyu was able to Awaken a rare Class, he also received a lot of benefits.

“Thank you for your concern, Teacher.”

She suppressed the excitement in her heart and did not lose her composure.

After Ding Shiyu thanked him, she quickly walked down the stage.

Just as she turned around and was about to return to her original place.

However, his sharp eyes caught a cold gaze.

“Lin Xiu!”

She glanced at Lin Xiu, who was standing at the back of the team a few meters away.

Ding Shiyu’s expression was slightly cold, and her long and narrow eyes contained a wave of irreconcilable anger.

“He’s just a loser that won’t last for a few days. Don’t be angry. Business is more important!”

Just as Ding Shiyu clenched her fists tightly, intending to embarrass the other party, Wan Zhuoyun’s voice immediately sounded from beside her.

“Humph!” Ding Shiyu’s gaze moved slightly. In order to carry out the plan as scheduled, she could only temporarily suppress the displeasure in her heart.

After all, the anger in her heart immediately dissipated when she thought of the outcome that the other party was about to face.

Instead, a malicious smile appeared on his face.

“Next, Lin Xiu!”
