"In the early morning of March 5th, Yin City time, a large-scale armed fight broke out in the central area of the West District, resulting in 56 deaths and 107 injuries."
"It is understood that the incident was a riot caused by a rebel group. Most of the members have been arrested, but the identity of the leader of the group is unknown and he is still at large."
"On March 5th, local time, the Yin City Government issued a Class B wanted warrant for the leader of the rebel organization."
"This individual's identity is unknown. Based on the limb abnormalities caused by his talent, he will be referred to as the Eight-Tailed Owl. It is preliminarily determined that he possesses the strength of the peak of the Fourth Realm."
"In order to crack down on vicious crimes, maintain social order, and protect the lives and safety of people of all ethnic groups, a Class B arrest warrant is now issued for the suspected leader of the insurgent organization, codenamed Eight-Tailed Owl."
"If the general public spots this person, please report it immediately."
On March 5th, local time, the Yin City Government and the Lingyun River Rainforest Administration jointly announced that they would form a joint search team to capture the eight-tailed owl, which is suspected to have escaped into the rainforest.
"Announcement: This Awakening Conference will be postponed for one week due to fire safety concerns."
"Have you heard? This year's Awakening Conference was postponed because of an incident at West District No. 1 Middle School."
"It's that fight in the West District! I heard quite a few aristocratic families got caught up in it."
"Serves you right! You're always bullying men and women. You can tell I have no good intentions!"
"Really? But didn't the official say it was due to fire safety issues?"
"How could it be fake? Which school in the West District doesn't have a fire drill every semester? How could there be any fire safety issues?"
I heard from a relative that his child is in his senior year at West District No. 1 Middle School!"
…
Gossips spread by word of mouth in the streets and alleys. In the past two days, if you go out, you will definitely hear rumors about the "Awakening Conference being postponed" or the "rebel organization".
After all, it is an annual event that determines the future of children. It has been postponed and encountered a vicious incident. This conspiracy theory cannot be suppressed by an official announcement.
However, the discussions of ordinary people cannot affect the upper class, and these announcements and notices are used to appease the aristocratic families and various sects.
The human race's leaders care more about the important "parts" of the aristocratic families and sects with a large number of awakened people than the ordinary people in captivity.
As a race that survives by banding together for warmth, humans have always practiced forming cliques and factions, from the twelve cities to families and teachers.
The more those long-established forces unite, the more talents and resources they gather, and the more they suppress the ordinary people below and make it more difficult for them to make a name for themselves.
It is the human race that fights bloody battles for its race, and it is also the human race that plunders the people's wealth.
The covetous eyes of foreign races have tied all human beings together, forming a deformed society.
It’s not that no one wants to change, but no one can guarantee that the human race will not be completely devoured by other ethnic groups during the weak period of change.
Therefore, even if someone changes his or her destiny with outstanding talents, it is only to inject fresh blood into the upper class and be assimilated into exploiters.
…
"There are only seven months left until the unified exam. If the awakening time is postponed, what if one of these students in the West District awakens a high-level talent and is delayed in their cultivation?"
"Principals, please calm down." A majestic voice came from the podium.
The noisy conference hall gradually quieted down, and the respected elites in the education field present managed to calm themselves down.
The middle-aged man on the rostrum nodded with satisfaction before continuing.
"The higher-ups are well aware of your concerns. As compensation, they will distribute additional cultivation resources. Schools with awakened students with high talents can receive them as needed."
The sound of discussion was floating in the air below. The middle-aged man ignored the whispers of the crowd. After informing the higher-ups of the decision, he turned and left, leaving the venue to the school leaders who were discussing the matter.
The middle-aged man walked out of the meeting room and immediately saw the teaching buildings opposite.
The conference room is located at a high altitude, allowing him to see the students actually attending classes in the classroom opposite.
What the upper echelons need is to select new “parts” that are excellent in all aspects.
Gifted people will not lose their talents due to delayed awakening, nor will they be unable to control their psychic powers due to shortened time.
They can still stand out in the unified entrance examinations for colleges and universities and martial arts schools.
Thinking this, he calmly glanced at the familiar yet unfamiliar teaching building in the distance, then quickly left.
He also needs to coordinate matters related to the unified examination, and has no time to deal with the unawakened ones.
…
West District No. 1 Middle School.
Lilac flowers sway in the warm spring sunshine. Around 7 o'clock in the morning, students arrive at school one after another, laughing and running around, creating ripples in the air and shaking the petals to fall.
A week has passed since the fight. West District No. 1 Middle School suspended classes for three days after the incident, and then returned to its previous calm.
If the Talent Awakening Conference had not been postponed, most people might not have paid attention to the news of that day, and the associations with the malicious incident would have mostly disappeared.
Not to mention that all the news is limited to students in school and at home.
However, at least this time, the students of West District No. 1 Middle School, who were at the center of the incident, may be the ones who know the most among ordinary people.
"Alas, what's the point of the Lin family doing this? They're really trying to steal a chicken but end up losing the rice."
"Maybe it's because Lin Feng's talent is average and he can't support the family's future, so he wants to take a risk."
"That shouldn't be the case! Lin Feng's grades are super good!"
"It's hard to say. The school tested his theoretical knowledge and psychic energy reserves. Who knows if he has accumulated his family's resources?"
