Great Xia Kingdom, Jiangnan Province, Fengyang City.
Fengyang City Second High School.
The Awakening Ceremony.
"We've reached the Awakening Ceremony already."
"According to tradition, as a transmigrator, my system ought to show up now, right?"
Amid the crowd, a young man was thinking to himself.
That young man was Lu Yuan, who had suddenly transmigrated here eighteen years ago.
Compared to his previous life, the biggest difference in this world was the existence of vicious beasts and supernatural abilities.
Vicious beasts were monsters that came to Blue Star through passages from the Underground World, where they ran rampant.
Fortunately, heaven never sealed off every path!
Everyone had a chance to awaken a supernatural ability and fight the vicious beasts, and the quality of the ability they awakened was closely tied to their genes!
Those with high-quality abilities could even awaken them ahead of time!
Lu Yuan's parents, for example, were both ordinary office workers.
A few years ago, passages to the Underground World had sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain. Vicious beasts poured out through them and came to Blue Star.
In the ensuing chaos, the country was short on manpower, and the beasts emerging from the passages were inevitably not all dealt with.
As a result, when Lu Yuan was seven, his father had the misfortune of dying in a beast tide!
His mother had also lost an arm at the time!
Lu Yuan believed that
forget awakening a supernatural ability early—he'd be lucky just to awaken one normally at eighteen.
But his parents' ordinariness also meant that the quality of the ability he awakened would most likely be very low!
"I want to awaken a rare ability too, and become a powerhouse in my own right..."
Lu Yuan's thoughts began to wander.
After all, in this chaotic age, only by becoming strong could he protect himself, enjoy special privileges, and rise above the rest!
Just then, an unexpected mechanical voice interrupted his thoughts!
[Your system has arrived!]
"System!"
In an instant, Lu Yuan's eyes blazed!
The system he'd been waiting for had really come!
Now he had a chance to reach the peak and defy fate!
[You will receive one random S-class ice element supernatural ability, as well as 100 Evolution Points!]
Before Lu Yuan could recover from his elation, the system's mechanical voice rang in his ears again.
"An S-class ice element ability!"
Lu Yuan was incredibly excited.
S-class supernatural abilities were among the rarest in the whole country.
Lu Yuan remembered that Jiangnan Province hadn't had an S-class ability user for two years running!
The entire province had nearly 400,000 students every year.
That was enough to show just how precious an S-class ability was!
"Wait... why is it an ice element ability?"
Only after his excitement did Lu Yuan notice that detail.
Before transmigrating, he'd been a diehard reader of online novels.
He knew that novel protagonists usually awakened thunder, fire, darkness, or something along those lines.
But this system didn't seem to play by the rules.
Ice abilities were usually awakened by the heroines in novels, symbolizing a personality as cold as frost.
What was a grown man like me doing with an ice element ability???
Lu Yuan merely grumbled to himself.
Honestly, awakening an S-class ability was already great. Who cared what element it was?
"Brother Yuan, the Awakening Ceremony's about to start. What kind of ability do you hope to awaken?"
Just then, a bespectacled boy came over.
His name was Li Ming. He was Lu Yuan's deskmate and a friend he'd grown up with.
"Ice, I guess."
Lu Yuan answered casually.
"Brother Yuan, that doesn't sound right. I remember you saying before that a real man should wield mighty thunder..."
Hearing Lu Yuan's answer, Li Ming was baffled.
Supernatural abilities were divided into four broad categories: Elemental, Summoning, Combat, and Special.
Thunder abilities belonged to the highly offensive kind within the Elemental Category!
Summoning ability users were especially rare, but that didn't mean their abilities were powerful.
The best-known one at present was Grandmaster Tang Shan, who had awakened an A-rank ability, Blue Gold Grass. He could summon Blue Gold Grass in battle!
The Combat Category referred to abilities that could strengthen the body.
The Special Category covered a wide range, including mental and spatial abilities!
Faced with Li Ming's question, Lu Yuan was at a loss for words.
How was he supposed to explain this? He couldn't exactly say he'd awakened a system, could he?
"People's minds can change. Ice is what a real man's romance is all about!"
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yuan made something up.
"Fair enough. Then I hope I can awaken an ice ability too..."
Li Ming thought that made sense and chimed in.
"Everyone, please line up in an orderly fashion. The Awakening Ceremony is about to begin!"
Just then, an announcement rang out!
"Brother Yuan, don't be nervous. I'm sure you'll awaken the ability you want."
Li Ming encouraged him.
"Mm."
Lu Yuan nodded.
The Awakening Ceremony was underway in full swing!
Everyone had their own fate; it was all ordained by heaven!
Some were born to be kings, while others were destined to become bandits!
As the ceremony went on, some were pleasantly surprised, while others couldn't help feeling disappointed.
But none of that had anything to do with Lu Yuan.
Once the Awakening Ceremony ended, they wouldn't be on the same level anymore!
"Next, number 42 from Class 11, Senior 3, Lu Yuan."
Time passed second by second, and soon it was Lu Yuan's turn!
"Ah, we're almost through all eleven classes, and not a single person has awakened an A-rank ability—not even a B-rank one! What's the school supposed to do about next year's education fund!"
