.....
Class 18, Senior 3, Tianlin High School.
One by one, students rose from their seats and approached the podium, trembling as they placed their hands into a square machine that looked like a basin in size, located on the teacher's desk.
Whenever a halo appeared above a student's head, the machine on the podium emitted a mechanical voice.
Watching the students in the classroom, some smiling after successfully awakening, others unable to stop crying after failing, Chu Huan, who was propping his chin in the corner of the room, felt a surge of tension in his heart.
Three months after arriving in this world, Chu Huan had basically learned about its general situation.
Seven hundred years ago, the heavens and earth underwent a great change, and thousands of spatial rifts appeared out of thin air across the world. These spatial rifts were connected to secret realms entirely different from the outside world.
These secret realms were filled with powerful beasts that did not belong to this world.
Although these beasts varied in shape and characteristics, they shared a common trait:
Each of them was filled with violence and destructiveness.
In just a few months, the beasts that emerged from the secret realms caused the population of Blue Planet to halve.
It was also during this time of near despair that some people discovered that the emergence of these spatial rifts and secret realms also allowed some special energies to enter Blue Planet.
Under these energies, some exceptionally talented individuals began to awaken, suddenly gaining special weapons and skills within their bodies.
Through nearly a century of effort, countless ancestors managed to slay the rampaging beasts and seal these secret realms using special methods.
Even so, the beasts still existed throughout the world, and these secret realms seemed to connect to another world, with an endless supply of beasts and even instances of secret realms falling to the beasts.
The peace of the entire world was as fragile as a mirror, ready to shatter at a touch.
Facing this situation, governments vigorously developed Awakened beings to enhance human strength, thereby defending against the invasion of beasts, while continuously clearing out these secret realms to ensure that any beasts emerging from fallen realms were kept within a controllable range.
Through the efforts of countless predecessors and centuries of recovery, the world finally restored its former peace and prosperity.
Over the course of hundreds of years and development, Awakened beings have become the foundation for human survival.
Every student, upon entering their first day of Senior 3 at age eighteen, must undergo a test to awaken their Artifact Soul.
To apply to higher education institutions, the prerequisite is to successfully awaken.
Those who fail the awakening can only attend ordinary universities.
Cruel and realistic.
If the awakening is successful, it represents an opportunity to rise above others.
If the awakening fails, it means a lifetime of doing the lowest-level jobs and achieving nothing.
The importance of awakening to every student is evident.
"Next—Chu Huan!"
In this anxious and tense waiting, Fu Wenbo, the homeroom teacher of Class 18, spoke again.
Upon hearing his name, Chu Huan slowly walked to the podium.
Seeing Chu Huan on the podium, some of the girls in the class became interested, with anticipation in their eyes.
Chu Huan's appearance took after his deceased mother, with delicate and angular features that could rank among the best-looking boys in the entire Senior 3 grade. Naturally, he attracted the attention of these girls.
Looking at the awakening machine in front of him, Chu Huan took a deep breath before slowly placing his right hand into the machine.
Almost instantly after Chu Huan's hand entered the machine, he felt icy energy flowing into his body through his hand and quickly moving through it.
However, as these energies poured in, Chu Huan suddenly realized something was wrong.
The reason was simple: in Chu Huan's perception, more and more energy was flowing into his body through his hand.
"Crack, crack."
Soon, a faint sound emanated from the black crystal embedded on top of the awakening machine.
Then, to the attention of the students in the class and the homeroom teacher Fu Wenbo nearby, a crack appeared in the crystal, running through its entire length.
At the same time, the energies that had been flowing into Chu Huan's body suddenly disappeared as if they had flowed into the ocean.
Facing this situation, Chu Huan blinked and looked at Fu Wenbo next to him with an innocent expression.
"Sir, it cracked!"
Upon hearing Chu Huan's words, Fu Wenbo looked at the crystal on the machine with a puzzled expression.
"Strange, although this Beast Crystal is only Black Iron 1-star, it's just for the awakening ceremony. How could the energy be depleted so quickly?"
Although beasts are dangerous and brutal, for Awakened beings, they are also the cornerstone for continuous growth.
Besides the flesh and materials of beasts, the most precious thing is the Beast Crystal within their bodies.
The energy within can accelerate the rapid growth of Awakened beings, with a practice speed far exceeding their own diligent cultivation.
A Black Iron 1-star Beast Crystal should theoretically be enough to support the entire class of students completing the awakening ceremony.
But now, only half of the students have been tested, and the energy in this Beast Crystal is already depleted.
"Could this Beast Crystal be a defective one that has already been used?"
As he muttered, Fu Wenbo swiped his hand over a black wristwatch he was wearing.
The next second, a black crystal appeared in Fu Wenbo's hand.
After placing the crystal back into the machine, Fu Wenbo nodded to Chu Huan and said, "You can go ahead now!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Huan once again placed his hand into the machine.
Instantly, like before, icy energy quickly flowed into Chu Huan's body through his hand.
After nearly five seconds, when Chu Huan was wondering if this crystal would also crack, the icy energy that had been in his body circulated once and then moved straight towards his brain.
Suddenly, Chu Huan's body trembled slightly, and he found himself entering a misty space, surrounded by thick, impenetrable white fog.
Within this white fog, Chu Huan felt as if he was being drawn to a certain direction, and his gaze involuntarily turned to that spot within the fog.
Within the white fog, which was like layers of thin gauze, it seemed as if two golden lights were resident and calling to Chu Huan.
Pushing aside the surrounding fog, Chu Huan slowly walked towards the two golden lights. As soon as his hand touched them, as if having their own consciousness, the two golden lights drilled into Chu Huan's body.
At the same time, in the eyes of the students in the classroom, two semi-transparent golden lights, like projections, suddenly floated out of Chu Huan's body and hovered in mid-air.
