Chapter 5

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As early as a week ago, the people of the Ding and Wan Families had secretly contacted Jin Zhengmin in order to bribe him. Fortunately, before the Awakening Ceremony began, they had set up an array underground. This way, they could make Lin Xiu’s awakening fail without anyone knowing!

Although Instructor Jin was a Second Transition Class, his life was carefree.

But most people could not resist the temptation of money and resources, and Jin Zhengmin was no exception.

He had received a lot of benefits from the Ding and Wan Families, and he had also helped a lot in the matter of setting up the array.

Originally, Instructor Jin only felt that Lin Xiu was merely an ordinary student.

Even if the results were better, no one would care.

After all, it was very common in Linyue City for people with good grades to fail in their Awakening.

He had never thought that Lin Xiu would Awaken a Dual-Class, and one of them was even a Hidden Class.

It caused such a huge phenomenon.

However, now that things had come to this, he had no chance to go back on his word.

The only thing he could do now was to activate the array and kill this future expert in the cradle.

At that time, even if the dean or other important figures were to blame him, he would be able to deal with them.

As Jin Zhengmin pressed the button in his hand, the magic circle buried under the Awakening Platform was immediately activated.

A powerful energy surged out from the ground, directly forming a protective circle that isolated energy around Lin Xiu.

This energy was colorless and odorless, so it was extremely difficult to detect. The other teachers on the stage did not discover the magic circle buried underground.

The energy that surged out of the array quickly took shape, directly cutting off Lin Xiu’s connection with the phenomenon in the sky.

Even the Divine Stone in front of him could not detect Lin Xiu’s existence, so the light quickly disappeared.

After losing its target, the phenomenon in the sky instantly dissipated like fireworks, as if it had never appeared!

“Success!” Looking at the shadow that disappeared into the sky in an instant, Ding Shiyu’s beautiful eyes lit up and she immediately exclaimed happily.

“There’s definitely no problem. The Blood Transforming Soul-Sealing Array buried underground has already been triggered. Even if that Lin Xiu is the chosen one, it’s useless!”

Wan Zhuoyun said hatefully, his face filled with malevolence.

In order to make Lin Xiu’s awakening fail, their two great clans paid a considerable price.

There were very few arrays like the Soul-Sealing Array that could suppress energy in the world. If one wanted to create it, one had to hire several array masters to refine it for half a month without sleep or rest.

Because this Soul-Sealing Array had once destroyed the Class Change Ceremony of several powerful Classes who were already over level 50, this array was fought over by various large organizations, and the price also rose.

Currently, the price of making a Soul-Sealing Array was already as high as 400,000 to 500,000.

Originally, Wan Zhuoyun did not quite understand the reason why the Family Head did this. He felt that it was unnecessary.

He and Ding Shiyu had not expected that Lin Xiu would actually Awaken a Hidden Class, and it was even stronger than Ding Shiyu’s Wind Mage.

Fortunately, everything was still under control. The array was triggered to block the occurrence of the phenomenon, and Lin Xiu was completely fated to have a Hidden Class.

On the Awakening Platform, Lin Xiu, who was closing his eyes and carefully sensing the energy in his body, suddenly discovered that the energy that was continuously flowing into his body from the top of his head had suddenly disappeared.

In his heart, that mysterious and extremely clear feeling instantly disappeared.

All of this happened in a flash.

Before Lin Xiu could completely react, everything was already over.

Slowly opening his eyes, Lin Xiu’s eyes were filled with confusion and disbelief.

Although it was his first time participating in the Awakening Ceremony, he knew the process like the back of his hand.

Everything that he was experiencing now had completely deviated from the normal process.

Looking at the Awakening Divine Stone in front of him that had already dimmed, Lin Xiu’s heart suddenly sank, and his expression gradually became ferocious.

Someone had tampered with his Awakening Ceremony!

This was Lin Xiu’s first thought.

Everything he experienced now was strange.

The connection between his body and the Divine Stone disappeared without any warning. The feeling of clarity and understanding seemed to have been cut off by half, but his heart kept feeling stifled.

It was obvious that someone from the outside world had tampered with his awakening process and forcefully ended it!

The veins on his forehead bulged. At this moment, Lin Xiu’s expression was terrifyingly gloomy, just like a ferocious beast that was about to go berserk!

In this cruel world, people who fought over the ownership of rare equipment could be seen everywhere.

Not to mention, what Lin Xiu had been robbed of was an opportunity that was difficult to measure with money. It was the hope of restoring the glory of the family. It was also his three years of continuous hard work that he did not fear the bitter cold!

“Who is it? Who is it!”

He could not suppress the violent feeling in his heart, and he was about to go crazy.

However, just as he was about to lose his mind, an ethereal, emotionless mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

“Respected Class, you have completed all the inheritances and awakened a Special Class — Divine Forgemaster.”

[Hidden Class: Divine Forgemaster]

[Talent: Forging time reduced by 100 times.]

[Basic Skill 1: (Forging Soul) Increases the success rate of equipment strengthening, forging, and refining by 15 percent]

[Basic Skill 2:(Stone to Gold Touch) Touching equipment will greatly increase its grade. Cooldown time: 48 hours]

[Specialist Skill 1: Unlocked]

…

As the ethereal voice sounded, a system panel that only Lin Xiu could see suddenly appeared in front of him.

This was the Class Advancement System that existed in every student’s mind. It was just that before the Awakening was successful, the system was always in a locked state.

The rows of data in front of him made Lin Xiu, who was originally about to fall into a crazy state, instantly calm down.

Especially when he saw the introduction of the Divine Forgemaster’s skill, his eyes flashed with astonishment.

All of this had happened too quickly. Lin Xiu felt as if he had returned to heaven from hell.

A second ago, his opportunity had been destroyed, but in the next second, he had unknowingly completed the inheritance of a rare Class.

As the person involved, he himself was not too sure what had happened.

However, Lin Xiu was certain of one thing.

That was, he had indeed completed the inheritance of the Special Class, the Divine Forgemaster.

The System had already informed him of this.

What made him happy was that the skill description of this Divine Forgemaster was very powerful.

If he used it well, even if his main Class was Unspecialized, he could still develop and quickly surpass Ding Shiyu and Wan Zhuoyun.

“Shortening casting time by a hundred times, turning stone into gold… The effects of these skills are so powerful that I have to keep it a secret and not let outsiders find out!”

Very quickly, Lin Xiu regained his calm and thought of the importance of the problem.

Although he was overjoyed, he still maintained an indignant and angry expression on his face!

Outsiders could not sense the change in his emotions at all.

The countless students below the stage did not notice the existence of the array at all. They only thought that Lin Xiu’s luck was bad and he was unable to successfully awaken a rare Class.
