Blue Star.
Tianhai City, Tianhai First High School.
The awakening ceremony.
"Finally, the awakening ceremony is here."
"By the usual rules, my system should arrive today, right?"
In Senior Class 8.
Zhou Fan muttered under his breath.
He had transmigrated a year ago.
He had arrived in a martial world where strength ruled supreme and monsters ran rampant.
Humans could survive only by awakening superpowers and becoming powerful Espers!
[Ding! Transmigrator No. 1230847, "Zhou Fan," detected. Activating system...] [10%...50%...99%...]
Zhou Fan's eyes lit up at the mechanical voice in his head.
He had only made an offhand remark, but his system had actually arrived!
[Activation progress: 99%...] [Activation progress: 99%...]
"Wait, how is my system frozen already? Are you running Android or iOS?"
Zhou Fan complained as the system remained stuck at 99%.
But the system still refused to budge.
[Rebooting system...]
"Wait, you haven't even booted up yet! How are you rebooting?"
Zhou Fan seriously suspected that his system had caught a virus.
Could even transmigration systems not withstand malware these days?
"Next, Zhou Fan!"
Just then, the teacher on the platform called his name.
Zhou Fan could only put the system aside for now and step onto the awakening platform.
Everyone below turned to look at him.
"It's Zhou Fan!"
"He's so handsome!"
"He's the only person in our school with S-Rank Psychic Power. He'll definitely awaken an S-Rank Superpower!"
Psychic Power determined the strength of a superpower.
The stronger someone's Psychic Power, the stronger the superpower they would awaken.
On the platform, the principal and teachers all watched Zhou Fan.
"Zhou Fan is a fine young man. He's our school's hope."
Zhou Fan placed his hand on the Awakening Stele.
The next second, three beams of light shone.
[S-rank · Lightning System] [A-rank · Strength Type] [C-rank · Spirit Eye System]
The crowd instantly erupted.
"Oh my god, three abilities?!"
"Only people with S-Rank Psychic Power get this opportunity. They have a chance to awaken several different superpowers, but they can only choose one in the end."
"S, A, and C? Obviously, he'll pick S-rank Lightning System!"
On the platform.
Zhou Fan's eyes also lit up when he saw his awakening results.
An S-Rank Superpower! Finally!
Just then, the system's voice sounded again.
[Ding! System activation: 100%. Emotion points system successfully activated!] [The host can earn "emotion points" by provoking emotions in others!] [Emotion points can be used for all system functions, including the System Lottery and awakening abilities!] [Reach certain Emotion Points thresholds to unlock more abilities!] [Note: each person can generate emotion points only once for the same event!] [The host is currently awakening an ability. Please make your choice-] [Choose S-rank Lightning System: moderate emotion points. Unlock the "Fourth Raikage A" template!] [Choose A-rank Strength Type: medium emotion points. Unlock the "Blue Beast of the Hidden Leaf · Might Guy" template!] [Choose C-rank Spirit Eye System: explosive emotion points. Unlock the "Battlefield Dance King · Madara Uchiha" template!]
*???!!!*
Holy shit!
This damned system had finally finished activating at the most crucial moment.
If it had been any slower, Zhou Fan would have already chosen his ability.
Now the system had laid three options before him.
One out of three. This was a tough choice.
Between S, A, and C ranks, he would definitely have picked the S-Rank Superpower without the system.
But now the system had given him three options to choose from... No!
That wasn't right!
It looked like three choices, but there was really only one-Madara Uchiha!
The other two couldn't even compare!
Although the Fourth Raikage's Nintaijutsu was powerful, he was nothing special in this lineup.
Although Might Guy's Eight Gates Release was powerful, it put an enormous strain on his body. And once he opened the Gate of Death, the price was death!
Compared to Madara Uchiha below them, those two were on completely different levels!
This was Lord Madara!
Granted, Might Guy could even take on Six Paths-level Madara by opening the Gate of Death.
But that came at the cost of his life.
In terms of potential, Lord Madara was definitely the strongest!
And he was the coolest, too!
So Zhou Fan made his choice—he chose the C-Rank Superpower · Spirit Eye System!
[Congratulations, host! Successfully awakened the "Madara Uchiha" template!] [Acquired "Kekkei Genkai · Sharingan"!] [Acquired Madara Uchiha's extensive combat experience, including ninjutsu, Taijutsu, genjutsu, and Sharingan experience!]
[Host: Zhou Fan] [Level: Tier 1, 1 star] [Ninjutsu: Body Flicker Technique, Substitution Technique, Clone Technique, Transformation Technique, Fire Release · Great Fireball Technique] [Kekkei Genkai: Three-Tomoe Sharingan (proficiency: 100%!)]
Although he had awakened Lord Madara's template, Zhou Fan's current level was too low, so all he had unlocked was the ordinary Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
To gain greater power, he had to collect more emotion points.
That was because emotion points could be exchanged for all sorts of things in the system.
[Basic Fire Release Gift Pack: 3,000 emotion points] [Advanced Fire Release Gift Pack: 5,000 emotion points] [Mangekyō Sharingan: 50,000 emotion points] [Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan: 100,000 emotion points] [Rinnegan: 1,000,000 emotion points]
Zhou Fan's choice left everyone dumbfounded.
He had chosen the play that would draw the most comments!
Come on, man!
There was an S-Rank Superpower right there, and you passed it up for a C-Rank Superpower?!
"Why did he pick a C-Rank Superpower?"
"Hahaha! S-Rank Psychic Power, and he picked a C-Rank Superpower!"
"I bet his eyes went blurry, so he needed the Spirit Eye System to fix them."
"He's done for. Instead of being a perfectly good genius, he's going to become a complete dud."
The people below instantly erupted into heated discussion.
Even the principal shot to his feet. "What is he doing?!"
"He passed up an S-Rank Superpower for a C-Rank Superpower?!"
When he had seen an S-Rank Superpower among the three Zhou Fan had awakened, he had been so excited he had nearly jumped for joy.
Instead, Zhou Fan had made a choice that left him utterly stunned!
[Mockery +1] [Mockery +1] [Curiosity +5] [Surprise +1] [Confusion +1] [Shock +10]
Zhou Fan's emotion points were shooting up.
Honestly, he hadn't wanted to make the play that would draw the most comments.
But he had no choice.
Lord Madara was just too good to pass up!
Before long, he had collected 1,100 emotion points.
The same person could generate emotion points only once for the same event.
But stronger emotions would yield more emotion points.
Choosing the S-Rank Superpower would also have stirred emotions, but since it matched Zhou Fan's Psychic Power, it wouldn't have created much of an emotional contrast.
Now that he had chosen the C-Rank Superpower, contrast was the whole point.
He had sent the entire crowd's emotions exploding!
[Successfully reached 1,000 emotion points!] ["Bond system" unlocked!] [Spend emotion points to unlock characters who share bonds with Madara Uchiha and acquire their abilities!] [Available bond characters: Hashirama Senju, Obito Uchiha]
Zhou Fan: "???"
There were even more heavy hitters?!
