When Su Ying heard that she would be the first one to take the test, she was, in all honesty, very nervous.
It was actually normal. To put it simply, the feeling was similar to waiting for the release of examination results. If you had a high score, you would rise to the top. If you had a low score, you would be left out in the crowd. Everyone wished for a high score. After all, doing well in the assessment would greatly benefit them in the future.
That was why, after having fallen into a slight daze, Sun Ying breathed in deeply and said, “Okay.”
Looking at her walk toward the platform, Hong Xiaofu could feel her anxiousness.
She walked quite slowly, taking a full twelve seconds to walk the distance which could have easily been covered in a few seconds. Su Ying stood below the platform and looked at the equipment that Mr Li Hong was holding on to. She was so nervous that her hands were trembling as she raised them.
There was no way to be calm. It was a moment of truth. Once you were discovered to be ungifted, you would lose confidence in yourself and in the future.
A row of fine beads of sweat appeared on Su Ying’s forehead. She lifted her hands, but she was too afraid to place them onto the equipment.
Hong Xiaofu who was seated just below the platform, shouted.
“Fighting level, level nine!”
The students in the class were dumbfounded for a moment. Then, they suddenly burst into laughter.
“Hahahaha! Our mascot is encouraging!”
“No problem! This scene is perfect for the occasion!”
“Fighting level, level nine, Xiao Xuner — is that you?”
After hearing all that commotion, Su Ying could not help but laugh along.
That guy was pretty good at comforting people.
He was right, she just had to treat it as a game. She had to face it no matter what, so what was there to be nervous about?
After rationalizing her thoughts, Su Ying clenched her teeth and pressed her hands onto the equipment.
Immediately —
“Beep beep beep, score: 97. You are merely one step away from being Awakened, good luck!”
After hearing the news, Su Ying was in shock. Her eyes shot wide open.
Her score for the Awakener’s potential was as high as 97! At that rate she would be Awakened soon!
In that moment, Su Ying felt her heart beating fast, as if it was going to jump out of her chest. She was sweating cold and her mind was blank.
The noises in the background started to subside slowly, before everything fell into silence. There was extreme peacefulness. The world was in dazzling brightness.
Everything was so natural, so intimate.
Her classmates, caring teachers, the breeze outside the window, the sunlight bouncing off the ground…
All of a sudden, someone screamed, “Look! Frost, it’s frost!”
Everyone looked at it carefully. Suddenly, mist was forming around Su Yin.
Then…
…a few snowflakes appeared!
“Su Ying… Su Ying has awakened!”
“Oh my god, this is the strongest Awakening in the Elemental System. Su Ying was going to succeed!”
She looked at both her hands and listened to her classmates, who were in awe. Su Ying was stunned. She suddenly raised her right hand, and saw a ball of snowflakes forming on her palm.
It was like a mini snowstorm was slowly revolving.
“I… I have been Awakened?” Su Ying could not even believe it herself.
“You have been Awakened, definitely!” Li Hong was slightly taken aback, but he quickly responded, “Congratulations to Su Ying’s Awakening! Come, come, Su Ying! Let’s carry on with another test to determine the position of your gene sequence LV1!”
“O–okay.”
Since she was already Awakened, Su Ying was calm this time round. She did not hesitate to put her hand onto the equipment again. In an instant, the equipment responded with the result: Congratulations, you have been Awakened. The current state of your Awakening is at gene sequence LV1, with the specific score of 3.12%.
She had indeed been Awakened. She had even instantly got a score of 3.12%!
“That’s great!” Li Hong quickly noted down the number before he said excitedly, “Su Ying, I’ll report these numbers once I’m back. If nothing goes wrong, Qinghua University should be accepting you in advance!”
Su Ying bowed deeply and said, “Thank you, teacher!”
Advanced enrollment into Qinghua University! That was truly amazing!
The whole class was in an uproar. Instantly awakened with a score as high as 3.12% – it was safe to say that she could directly enter Qinghua University!
“Su Ying you are amazing! So capable! Don’t forget to let me have your autograph later!”
“What in the world? She was Awakened so quickly, I envy her!”
“Our class has finally produced a genius. This time we’ll see if the Class Monitor of Class 15 Zhang Yang will still be cocky to us!”
The students chatted loudly, all busy congratulating Su Ying and overflowing with envy and jealousy.
“Nice job.” Hong Xiaofu gave Su Ying a thumbs up and said, “Congrats my Class Mentor!”
“Thanks.” Su Ying went back to her seat, turned to Hong Xiaofu and said, “If not for your help earlier on, I might not have Awakened. I’ll treat you to a meal when I’m free.”
“Huh?” Hong Xiaofu was confused. “Why are you thanking me? Your Awakening… it has nothing to do with me?”
“How is it not.” Su Ying said softly, “I was so nervous I thought I was going to die, but after you shouted I immediately became calm. Then I saw that my score was so high… Wouldn’t all these emotions have stimulated my potential?”
Hong Xiaofu replied, “Does it work that way?”
Although Su Ying didn’t know whether she was right or not, her nervousness earlier on had definitely been real.
Then Su Ying saw Hong Xiaofu take out a notebook and hand it to her.
“Quick, give me your autograph!”
Su Ying was speechless.
Since she led the way as their Class Monitor, the class was filled with expectations as they went forward to be tested one after another.
Very quickly, all the students had gone through a round of assessment. There were some high scorers of 80 plus points feeling extremely excited, but there were also students who were disappointed from scoring between 50 and 60 as they sighed while walking back to their seats.
Zhao Ming scored 87, hence it was difficult to predict when he would be Awakened. It could take a few weeks or even a few months, but he did have a good chance.
“Hong Xiaofu.” Li Hong waved at Hong Xiaofu who was seated at his seat and said, “It’s your turn.”
“Oh okay.” Hong Xiaofu walked toward the platform. As he was looking at the equipment, he was very curious. That incredibly small machine could actually test a human’s Awakening potential?
Technology certainly was the most productive field.
He was also slightly nervous. His fighting ability would not be only at level three, right?
After all, that could be the deciding factor to determine whether he would have fish and meat for his meals or wheat and vegetables.
After he had gently placed his hand onto the equipment, it quickly reflected a number that shocked everyone.
“Congratulations, you have been Awakened. Your current Awakening level is at gene sequence LV1, with a specific score of 3.666666%.”
Hong Xiaofu was silent.
Are you screaming 6666 at me buddy?
And I have been Awakened? What did even happen? Why did I not know about this?
In that moment, not only was Hong Xiaofu dumbfounded, the whole class was, too.
Hong Xiaofu has been Awakened? He had a score of 3.666666%?
Was that real?
Was that even possible?
