Lu Yuan's heart was pounding, this dark blue cube was too strong.
Infinite evolution!
As long as he had time, he could grow to a degree that would shock everyone.
The strongest of the human race?
The strongest in the universe?
It seemed there was hope for both?
However, what exactly was this cube? Why did it appear when he awakened?
Just as Lu Yuan was thinking, his left wrist suddenly felt a stinging pain.
He opened his eyes and found that the Awakening Crystal was emitting a white light, and at his left wrist, golden threads were moving, eventually forming a golden ring.
Gene Battle Tattoo.
This was the mark of every Awakened.
It was also the 'key' to enter the Origin Land.
The emergence of the Gene Battle Tattoo also indicated that Lu Yuan had truly awakened as a Gene Warrior.
"Gene Battle Tattoo?! Lu Yuan, you've awakened!"
The teacher's surprised voice came.
The students below were also in an uproar, full of shock.
"Lu Yuan actually awakened!"
"He's usually so quiet, I didn't expect he could awaken too?"
"Hmph... so what if he awakened? Gene Warriors are so dangerous, something might happen to him at any time."
Many students looked at Lu Yuan with envy, jealousy, and some girls looked at Lu Yuan with strange light in their eyes.
Objectively speaking, Lu Yuan was handsome, but he was usually gloomy and withdrawn, and coupled with his experience with the mutation incident, no one dared to approach him.
But now, after awakening, Lu Yuan's attractiveness suddenly increased by several levels, making some girls eager to make a move.
Gene Warriors, as the human race's high-end combat power, still had a very high status.
Lu Yuan also heard the students' discussion below, but he didn't take it seriously at all.
In fact, not many people wanted you to live better than them.
He was already past the age of arguing, it was enough to do his own thing well.
After Lu Yuan awakened, the teacher's originally stern face showed a smile for the first time.
He looked at Lu Yuan and said gently:
"Lu Yuan, congratulations, you are now a Gene Warrior. There are still two months before the college entrance examination, work hard and try to get into a top-ranked Gene Warrior Academy, which will be good for your future... By the way, you just awakened, you can go to the Gene Warrior Association to register. After registering, you can receive a subsidy of 5,000 yuan per month."
Lu Yuan was pleasantly surprised to hear this.
5000 yuan?!
Even with the Empire's support, his monthly allowance was only 800 yuan, barely enough for the most basic living expenses.
Of course, tuition and miscellaneous fees were waived.
Generally, a fresh graduate from an ordinary university only earns about 3000 yuan a month.
Lu Yuan could earn 5000 yuan for doing nothing, giving him the illusion of reaching the pinnacle of life.
After all, who doesn't like free money?
However, Lu Yuan quickly came back to his senses.
He was destined to become the strongest man in the universe! How could he be satisfied with such a small thing?
Unless they gave him 10,000 a month!
Lu Yuan nodded and smiled, "I understand, thank you for the reminder, teacher."
Lu Yuan wasn't surprised by the teacher's change in attitude.
He had heard that awakeners were included in the teacher's teaching performance indicators, and there were also considerable bonuses.
The teacher looked at the students below and said with a smile:
"Let us congratulate Lu Yuan on his successful awakening."
Whether the students below were willing or not, they all applauded along with the teacher.
The teacher nodded with a smile and looked at Lu Yuan:
"Alright, you can go back."
Under everyone's gaze, Lu Yuan returned to his seat.
"The awakening ceremony continues. Next, Wang Ming."
The ceremony continued, but Lu Yuan didn't pay attention.
He was currently examining his Gene Battle Tattoo, and he could feel that the Gene Battle Tattoo was like a switch.
He could control this switch with his consciousness.
He had a feeling that after opening this switch, he should be able to enter the legendary Origin Land.
However, Lu Yuan didn't know much about the Origin Land yet.
Before going in, he had to prepare first.
There were still two months before the college entrance examination.
The Gene Warrior exam was definitely different from the ordinary exam.
Compared to his peers who awakened at the age of sixteen, he was already two years behind in growth.
It wouldn't be easy to catch up with them and get into a good school within two months.
Fortunately, with the evolution cube that could continuously evolve genes, he felt that there should be hope.
Having experienced a university life once before, Lu Yuan naturally knew that a good university was a better stepping stone in life, making the road ahead smoother.
No matter what, he had to do his best to get into the best Gene Warrior Academy.
After going back, he would first learn about the news of the Origin Land, and then work hard.
By the way, Lu Yuan had just come up with the name 'Evolution Cube' himself.
He thought it sounded good and fitting.
After Lu Yuan's awakening, the following students were even more expectant, thinking that maybe they could awaken too?
However, the reality was cruel.
Until the last student finished testing, out of the forty-one students in the class, only Lu Yuan awakened and became a Gene Warrior.
After the awakening ceremony ended, the teacher put away the crystal ball, looked at the gloomy and disappointed crowd, and said:
"It's normal not to awaken. Since you can't become Gene Warriors, then calm down, study hard, and get into a good university. This is being responsible for your own life and future."
Lu Yuan didn't know if others listened to the teacher's words, but he had a sense of deja vu from the pre-college entrance exam pep rally in his previous life.
Unfortunately, not many students in his previous life could really understand these words, and by the time they could truly understand, it was already a bit late.
Regarding the future, all young people had a mysterious confidence, feeling that they were the protagonists of the era, and as soon as they entered society, they would definitely become CEOs, marry rich and beautiful women, and embark on the peak of their lives.
Then they became honest working people, enjoying the blessings.
That's right, Lu Yuan was one of them.
For a moment, Lu Yuan actually missed the self who had that mysterious confidence back then.
Where did that mysterious confidence come from?
Unlike him now, who was much more practical.
Well, as expected of me!
After the teacher finished speaking, he left, and the students in the classroom gathered together in twos and threes with their friends, slapping the table and wailing in complaint.
"I didn't awaken! I thought I would definitely awaken this time!"
"Alas... in the future, I can only study hard and be an ordinary person?"
"It seems I can only go back and inherit the family business. Fortunately, my family has a small company, so at least I won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future."
"...Beast!"
"..."
When many students were communicating, they would always look in Lu Yuan's direction from time to time.
After all, Lu Yuan was the only person in the class who had awakened.
A good-looking female student stood up, came to Lu Yuan's desk, and said with a smile:
"Lu Yuan, we seem to be going the same way. Do you want to go home together later?"
Lu Yuan glanced at her, shook his head, and said lightly, "No, I'm used to being alone."
The female classmate's smile froze, and she nodded with a dry laugh, "Oh."
She turned and left.
Seeing this, the other girls who were originally eager to make a move also extinguished their thoughts of coming over to say hello.
Lu Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Although his personality is a bit different from his predecessor, and he is not a particularly withdrawn person.
But he still has nothing to talk about with classmates who are destined not to be together in the future.
The two sides had no communication during their three years of high school, so there is no need for any communication in the future.
The waves caused by Lu Yuan's awakening in the class quickly subsided.
After awakening, Lu Yuan still had to continue studying.
Even a Gene Warrior has to take the cultural classes that he should take. Gene Warriors are not illiterate, not to mention that going to school is more about learning the ability to think and the ability to reason.
After school in the afternoon, Lu Yuan left the school and walked to the Gene Warrior Association.
He had checked the map before, and the Gene Warrior Association was very far from the school, and it would take more than an hour to walk.
As for why not take a car?
Besides being poor, what else could be the reason?
Although Lu Yuan had seen the appearance of the city in his memory before, he still felt a little unreal as he walked on the street and looked around at this moment.
Tall buildings stand, neon lights flicker, and floating motorcycles float and shuttle in the air. Huge light screens play advertisements, and beautiful female stars in the light screens sing and dance with sweet smiles.
There are many pedestrians on the street, some of whom are equipped with mechanical hands and feet, and even robots can be seen.
At this moment, Lu Yuan was shocked. He felt like he had come to the future.
