Clap clap clap!
Having eaten a bland melon, Hu Laoshi smacked his lips unsatisfactorily, clapped his hands forcefully a few times, and said loudly, "Gentlemen and ladies, time is up, come, starting from the first row, quietly follow me."
The news of the Awakening instantly dispersed the desire to gossip, and the students stood up one by one, both excited and nervous, lining up in order and walking out of the classroom one after another.
As for Li Ya, she also escaped a disaster because of this, and at this moment, like someone saved from drowning, she was gasping for air to relieve the feeling of suffocation just now, watching the line, gritting her teeth and following, her eyes vicious, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Little Qi, you organize the team, I'll go check the back."
Hu Laoshi casually put his arm around the shoulder of the student at the front and said, then strode towards the back of the line.
The classroom was empty, and when Hu Laoshi came in, only Jin Feichen was left in the classroom, leaning against the windowsill with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Smoking, bro."
Hu Laoshi skillfully took out a pack of cigarettes from Jin Feichen's desk, lit one for himself, and then walked to his side to puff away.
"As a Teacher smoking with a student, it wouldn't be good if that got out."
Jin Feichen leaned his hand lazily on the windowsill and said, glancing at Hu Laoshi.
"It's fine, Director is my second uncle, I have connections, just do it."
Hu Zhu waved his hand casually, not caring at all.
Jin Feichen chuckled upon hearing this and did not continue to respond.
"What, you're not going to the Awakening?" Hu Zhu looked at Jin Feichen sideways and said, "Are you really planning to live like this in a muddle your whole life?"
"Awakening, why wouldn't I Awaken?" Jin Feichen said with a relaxed smile, "If I Awaken something like a mouse, maybe my gaming skills can improve further."
Hu Zhu was a bit taken aback, "That's all you're asking for? Show your ideals, show your fighting spirit!"
Jin Feichen exhaled the last puff of smoke, casually flicked the cigarette butt out the window, and then walked towards the door.
"Perhaps I have already lost this kind of vigor."
The voice gradually faded away, and the figure disappeared with it.
Only Hu Zhu was left, immersed in the ethereal blue smoke.
"Shouldn't people live as brilliantly as summer flowers?"
Awakening Room.
In the vast space, all twenty-two classes of the third year were already in place, lined up in order according to their class number.
Their expressions varied, but all were inevitably nervous.
"So nervous, I don't know what I'll be able to Awaken."
"Why be nervous? If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster; if it's a disaster, you can't avoid it. I'm not worried, whatever comes is fine."
"Big brother, are you that calm?"
"It's a lie."
"Then why are your hands shaking?"
"It's the deer's."
Buzz—
A piercing sound from the speakers rang out, and the students all fell silent, looking towards the high platform.
The Principal of Jinling City Second Tianwu High School was standing in front of the stage at this moment, looking at the thousands of students below with hope.
He cleared his throat and said loudly, "No more talk, no less chatter, let's get started."
As his voice fell, twelve male and female soldiers in military uniforms, with imposing bearing, walked out from the side door of the high platform, in groups of three, divided into four groups, and stood in front of the stage.
They were the professional personnel sent by the state responsible for the Awakening ceremony; there was no deliberate mischief, no interference from major clans, only fairness, justice, and openness, and they were also called Awakening Officials.
"New Era 2025, June 10th, 8:01 AM, I announce that the Nanjing Second Tianwu High School, Si Ming Heavenly Object Awakening Ceremony, now begins!"
"Come, come, come, people from Class Two follow over, here, here."
As the Awakening ceremony officially began, the homeroom teachers of each class started organizing the students to walk towards the Awakening Officials on the stage.
Only the people from Class One, who were at the front, were still standing there dumbfounded.
"Where is that little bastard Hu Zhu? At such an important moment for the Awakening, where did he run off to?!"
Before the students could speak, a figure was seen drifting with a tail whip, accelerating with nitro, and instantly teleporting to the position where he should have been.
"Hu Zhu is here!"
The late but arrived Hu Zhu raised a hand, panting, and said with a laugh, looking at the Principal.
"Let me tell you, today is the day of the Awakening, if you dare to mess up for Father, I'll twist your head off."
The Principal glanced at the waiting Awakening Officials, grabbed Hu Zhu's ear, and cursed angrily in a low voice.
"It's settled, I'll handle it, don't worry."
Hu Zhu flicked his bangs saucily, waved his hand, and walked towards the Awakeners, "Kids, follow me."
Walking in front of the Awakening Official, Hu Zhu became serious for once, extending a hand, "Hello, I'll be troubling you next."
"Hello." The leading Awakener shook his hand, their tone upright and firm, "It's our duty."
Having said that, he held up two fingers and rapidly wrote an obscure and difficult-to-understand character in the air.
The character lit up, imprinted into the ground, and the interlocking Formation suddenly lit up, then he flipped his large hand, and a red bead abruptly flew out from the magic Formation on the ground.
The two Awakening Officials behind him saw this and simultaneously took a step back, their hands behind their backs, their sharp gazes scanning all the personnel around.
Hu Zhu took a step back and said loudly, looking at the row of nervous students, "Zhao Ming, step forward for Awakening."
Zhao Ming, whose name was called, walked forward with an arrogant expression, enjoying the gazes of the people around him.
"It's the Zhao Family Young Master, Zhao Ming!"
"I heard he has already broken through to the Destiny Realm with the help from his Family!"
"Don't be arrogant, my dad is already working hard."
"I heard Zhao Ming said he was going to go to the Dead Pool with Jin Feichen, didn't he? Is that true?"
"Yes, but wasn't that because Li Ya said she liked Jin Feichen that Zhao Ming did that? Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, he probably won't, right?"
"I don't think so, that Zhao Ming is vengeful and has a pitifully small mind; just because of what Jin Feichen said today, Zhao Ming couldn't possibly let him go."
"Who knows, it's none of our business anyway."
...
Just as they were discussing, Zhao Ming in front had already grasped that blood bead, and the energy of the Formation he was in suddenly surged, a violent energy erupting in his hand.
Poof—
The blood bead suddenly exploded in his hand, countless threads of red lines splattered out from both sides of his fist, and then quickly condensed again.
A blood-colored long spear condensed into form!
Following this, the magic Formation gradually subsided, and several golden characters appeared in mid-air.
【Level 2—Mofu Spear】
"Zhao Ming, Level 2 Si Ming Heavenly Object, Mofu Spear!"
As the Awakener's words fell, Zhao Ming laughed with relief; he raised the long spear in his hand high, like a peacock displaying its feathers.
"My name is Zhao Ming, if any school wants to specially recruit me, please contact the Nanjing Zhao Family!"
At the back of the line, the students watching this scene couldn't help but discuss amongst themselves.
"Holy crap, a great start, a Level 2 right off the bat, and it's a spear, awesome."
"No, this guy is an idiot, what's he showing off with a Level 2? Which school recruits Bai Zhizhi's mother to recruit Level 2? What, a junior college?!"
"That's why I say you're foolish, look closely, it's a spear, the king of all weapons, there are many kinds of Fengtian Jíwǔ suitable for spears, not to mention it's a Level 2 Heavenly Object."
"Type 1 to absorb good luck."
"Isn't this used for resurrection?"
"Internationally applicable."
"1."
