Ye Liangchen, who had returned to the academy, received news today that he was to be on duty at the junior academy of Qinglong Academy.
Because the annual day of awakening superpowers is fast approaching.
Many parents in Jiangxi Province brought their children to various clubs and even some junior colleges at a young age.
Of course, the vast majority of scions of large families disdain participating in the awakening process. They have accumulated family resources, and their starting point is already very high.
Meanwhile, at the junior academy, the days when superpowers were awakened were always packed with people.
This year is the same, but it's different from previous years.
That is, in the past, parents and children at the school gate were all dressed in gorgeous clothes.
Today, many people in the crowd had tattered clothes.
Moreover, none of these children were accompanied by their parents.
"Who are these people?"
"His clothes are so tattered, could he be a beggar?"
"A bunch of country bumpkins, they're really an eyesore standing here."
...
Some of the parents who live near these children look down on them.
Elsewhere, every parent started a commercial hype.
"Hey, isn't this Li's parent? Judging by your child's handsome appearance, he'll definitely awaken a powerful superpower in a moment."
"Hey, Wang's parent, I think your child is much better than mine. He might even be better than mine later."
...
The mutual flattery among the group quickly spread.
Once mutual flattery in business starts, it's hard to stop.
But after a short period of mutual praise, some people started to criticize and belittle each other.
They started pointing fingers at the children again.
They completely looked down on them.
"I have no idea what these people are here for."
"Just a bunch of wild kids."
"What wild child? Look closely, that's a commoner."
"They're just a bunch of bedbugs; they're disgusting to look at."
Just as everyone was discussing this, the academy gates slowly opened. An elderly man with white hair but sharp eyes walked out. His gaze swept over the crowd, and when he saw the ragged children, a fleeting hint of pity flashed in his eyes.
"Quiet." The old man's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an air of authority, and the room instantly fell silent. "Today, regardless of wealth or status, every child who comes to participate in the awakening ceremony has an equal opportunity. The outcome of the awakening depends not only on talent, but also on one's own perseverance and belief." After speaking, the old man gestured for the children to enter the academy's awakening hall one by one.
Hearing the old man's words, the children who had been mocked regained hope in their previously sullen eyes. They straightened their backs and followed the staff into the hall. Meanwhile, some of the elegantly dressed children and their parents wore disdain, while others seemed lost in thought.
The first person to undergo awakening was a wealthy young man. A dazzling light flashed, and he successfully awakened his fire ability. A chorus of envious exclamations arose around him, and the test showed that he had a D-level talent.
Next, it was the turn of a child in tattered clothes. He closed his eyes and prayed silently before stepping forward. For a moment, the entire hall fell silent as everyone waited for the result.
The child did not react at first.
The audience immediately erupted in mockery.
"Hey kid, don't just stand there like an idiot, our time is precious."
"That's right, you're just a commoner, get out of here and don't waste our time."
...
A group of people looked down on him completely.
But just as the ridicule turned into complaints.
A bolt of lightning struck, and lightning appeared in the boy's hand.
A B-level talent appeared on the mirror not far away.
"Rank B? This...is there some mistake?"
"A commoner's talent is only B-grade? Who would believe that?"
"Is this a mistake?"
...
Seeing the group of people's suspicion, the old man tapped the ground.
"Enough. The testing equipment at Azure Dragon Academy is functioning perfectly. Are you doubting Azure Dragon Academy's capabilities?"
The old man's words immediately silenced everyone.
Seeing that the scene had fallen silent again, the old man spoke up.
"Testing continues."
The testing continued, and people placed their hopes on those who would be tested later.
The vast majority of people hope that someone will stand up and that this time the limelight will overshadow the common people.
As the number of people present dwindled, some began to panic.
After all, this test will determine the fate of these people for the next year.
Some students can enter the junior elite class of Qinglong Academy.
These are opportunities for fish to leap over the dragon gate.
Shortly after the test ended, Qinglong Academy issued a large number of admission notices.
Among the crowd, the ragged children were slowly leaving.
But some people don't think that way.
Soon, a parent stopped the child who had just awakened the power of lightning.
"Kid, how about I pay you for the college acceptance letter you have?"
"No, I won't sell."
"Not for sale?"
The man's eyes began to turn cold.
"If you're not going to sell, then don't blame me."
A dagger appeared in the man's hand, and he quickly stabbed it towards the boy's throat.
The man was middle-aged, while the boy in front of him had just awakened his superpowers; killing him would be as easy as crushing an ant.
"ah!"
The man collapsed to the ground, groaning in agony.
"You'd actually try to kill someone just for a spot in the elite class."
Ye Liangchen's voice rang out.
The man saw Ye Liangchen and smiled bitterly.
“Kid, what do you know? I come from a middle-class family, and this is my only child. I’ve spent a lot of federal currency to help him awaken his superpowers. If he doesn’t get into the elite class, most of my life savings will be wasted.”
Ye Liangchen frowned, a sense of helplessness rising in his heart. He knew that in this society that revered strength and superpowers, people at the bottom would often resort to any means to climb up the social ladder.
“Even so, we cannot commit violence or injure people,” Ye Liangchen said solemnly.
The man shook his head.
“He was just a commoner, so he died and that’s it. But my child must get into the elite class.”
The man seemed to be possessed.
Upon seeing this, Ye Liangchen's heterochromatic eyes opened.
He blocked the boy behind him.
"Since you're so stubborn, don't blame me."
The man had just stood up when Ye Liangchen struck him in the abdomen.
The man collapsed to the ground instantly.
The excruciating pain in his abdomen caused him to writhe in agony.
Ye Liangchen dialed the security bureau's number.
She saw that the man was no longer able to resist.
He looked at the boy.
"Little friend, what's your name?"
"My name is Amao."
"Amao?"
The boy nodded.
So where do you live now?
"Welfare home".
Looking into the boy's eyes, Ye Liangchen nodded.
"Amao, I'll take you back to the orphanage in a bit. You must stay here and behave well these next few days. And keep this acceptance letter safe."
The boy nodded after hearing this.
"I see."
