Awakening Ceremony

"I heard a senior from the previous year was blind since birth, but she awakened the hidden class Asura. Do you think having some physical defect makes it easier to awaken such hidden classes?"

"Are you talking about senior Shui Yunji? I think she's already level 37. She's about to undergo her second advancement to become a 'Great Dark Heaven.' I'm afraid our H City is about to gain a legend!"

"No way, for real? If I remember correctly, she only just entered the capital's top university this year, and she's already level 37?"

"That's a ruthless person who can single-handedly wash the Nightmare-level Dungeon, Flame Forest, in blood. Can we even compare to her?"

"I didn't expect hidden classes to be this terrifying. To tell you the truth, I actually have a physical defect from birth."

"Oh? Are you blind too?"

"No, my kidneys have been weak since I was born..."

On the playground, listening to his classmates' discussions, Cao Xiaochun let out a heavy sigh.

This was a world ten thousand times larger than Blue Star.

Three hundred years ago, the will of the Heavenly Dao manifested, causing a global upheaval. Strange phenomena and games descended simultaneously, and after that, the two merged completely with reality. Secret realms and dungeons were countless, and monsters and demons ravaged the Nine Provinces!

Every person could obtain extraordinary power upon reaching the age of eighteen through a class transfer, elevating their life level.

Class-holders could gain experience points, materials, and equipment by hunting monsters. Even divine artifacts could be obtained in dungeons, provided one had enough luck.

Today was the day for all high school seniors to undergo their unified class transfer.

After three hundred years of development, the types of classes were now countless.

For example, the three most basic systems: Warrior, Mage, and Healer...

Warrior: The strongest in melee combat, generally serving as the front-line role in dungeons.

Mage: Possesses a natural affinity for various elements in the air, capable of controlling them to cast various spells.

Healer: The doctor of the team. The skills used are all capable of healing others. It is a popular profession in teams, though, of course, there is no lack of certain "poison healers" among them.

Beyond these, there were various other classes, such as the Sword Immortal who mastered the way of the sword, the Spirit Beast Master who could command pets in battle, and even the Mechanist who could create all sorts of lethal weapons.

Of course, among all classes, there were some extremely powerful and rare ones. Because those who awakened such talents were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, they were known as hidden classes.

For instance, the person everyone just mentioned, Shui Yunji, the senior from the previous year, was also Cao Xiaochun's betrothed.

The class she awakened was precisely the hidden class, Asura.

Compared to the limitations of the three main classes, the sword in an Asura's hand controlled the four elemental powers of wind, water, lightning, and electricity. The inherited way of slaughter was so intense that even some powerful demons felt fear.

And the Empress of Hua Nation was an even more powerful Dragon Rider, capable of enslaving dragons for her own use. One had to know that those dragons were entities capable of going head-to-head with gods!

I wonder what class I will be able to awaken?

Cao Xiaochun waited in anticipation. According to the memories of his original self, ever since his parents met with an accident three years ago, the entire company had faced a severe crisis. Although he had immediately decided to sell all his shares, he now had nothing but money.

Although Elder Shui did not look down on him for becoming an orphan, given Shui Yunji's current performance, if he awakened a lifestyle class, he could just wait to have his engagement annulled. Even if he hadn't spoken a single word to her, and even if he was the one marrying into her family, a person still had to have some ideals, right?

"Everyone, stop the noise! The transfer ceremony is about to begin!" Just as Cao Xiaochun was lost in thought, the homeroom teacher shouted from the side.

At this moment, a massive magic circle had already been set up on the playground, and in the center of the circle stood an ancient stone stele—the Class Transfer Stele.

Beside the stele stood a young man wearing a black cloak. Cao Xiaochun used the Eye of Appraisal, a skill everyone possessed, to check him. Since the other party did not hide his information, lines of data quickly appeared before his eyes.

[Su Tao]

[Silver-tier] Level 25, Beast Blood Warrior.

A Silver-tier class-holder!

From the start of the transfer, beginning at level zero, every ten levels gained would result in an increase in tier.

The tiers were divided into Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Star Brilliance, Diamond, and beyond that, King, Saint, Demigod, and God-level.

Among them, Gold and Diamond tiers allowed for a secondary strengthening transfer on the original class. As for the ranks beyond that, Cao Xiaochun didn't know for now. After all, once they reached the King rank, they would head to the Myriad Races Battlefield in the universe, a place they could not yet touch.

Don't look at Su Tao as just a Silver-tier Beast Blood Warrior; at his age of twenty-something, being able to cultivate to this point was already quite remarkable.

Suddenly, the eyes of the students who saw Su Tao's information changed instantly; it was a look of envy.

"Assistant Su, I'll have to trouble you with the transfer ceremony this time."

An old man slowly stepped forward and said indifferently. He was the principal of Third High School and also a Silver-tier class-holder. Although Su Tao was a staff member specifically responsible for the awakening ceremony, aside from basic respect, the principal didn't have much other emotion.

"Elder Zhang is too polite, it's my duty. I see that everyone has arrived, so let's begin. If Third High School can produce another hidden class this year, then you, Elder Zhang, will really be set."

Su Tao smiled, his tone seemingly filled with some envy. He had also presided over last year's awakening ceremony. Although he had received generous rewards, this old guy before him had received even more!

"Hahaha, let us hope so!"

On the other side, as the transfer ceremony began, everyone lined up by class, waiting for the teacher to call their names.

"Zhang Erkun!"

The first boy called quickly stepped forward, walking excitedly into the magic circle. Following a faint glow, the result appeared on the Class Transfer Stele.

"Zhang Erkun! Lifestyle class! Breeder!"

Upon hearing his transfer result, Zhang Erkun was incredibly dejected. However, after seeing that it was a Breeder, his expression improved slightly. Anyway, his family raised spirit chickens; at worst, he would just go back and revitalize the chicken farm.

A Breeder had a very strong amplification effect on poultry farming technology, so it could be considered a popular industry, and therefore, it wasn't too bad.

"Pan Yuanyuan!"

"Pan Yuanyuan, life-class profession! Tailor."

"Damn, such a great beauty is wasted just like that. She awakened as a tailor; she won't really end up sewing clothes for others in the future, will she?"

"This is too miserable. It would have been better to be a Breeder."

"That's not necessarily true. If she reaches level 40 and awakens as a Repairer of All Things, then she'll be set. With Pan Yuanyuan's looks, she probably won't lack simps to carry her through leveling, right?"

"Shocking! The clown was me all along..."

Sure enough, upon hearing her profession, Pan Yuanyuan burst into tears, her face streaked with them, and soon a large group of her classmates rushed over to comfort her.
