Chapter 2: The Awakening of Talent

Early the next morning, Shen Mu didn't sleep enough and was woken up by "gentleness". It has been in this state for nearly half a year. No one called me unable to wake up at all, and I always felt that a lot of things had happened in my dreams, but I didn't remember anything when I woke up.

After a hurried breakfast, father and son set off for the church. On the way, his father kept saying something, but Shen Mu barely listened to it. Until they reach their destination.

The church is not far from Redwoodtown, just on a hill on the outskirts. Today's church has changed from the tranquility of the past, and it is bustling with people.

After Shen Zicheng took his son to report, he separated from Shen Mu. I went to the church and sat down. Shen Mu stayed in the back hall to learn some practical matters.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the awakening ceremony began on time.

"Everyone, be quiet, today's awakening ceremony will be presided over by Cui Haile, the tutor of the Outer Courtyard of the Saint Laurent Academy. Next, ask the children to come up in order, and Mentor Cui will know how you awaken. An elderly church priest stood in the front row and said, and it could be heard that this priest also had at least the rank of a warrior, and his voice was very deep.

Cui Haile seems to be a young mentor, and it is naturally unclear what level he is. Shen Mu saw the saber he pinned to his waist, and thought, as a mentor in the outer courtyard of Saint Laurent Academy, at least it was also a martial artist rank.

"Zhou Kun. Tutor Cui shouted, his voice was not loud, but it penetrated. A young man walked up a little nervously, "Zhou Kun, put your hand on the awakening stone, relax and close your eyes." Feel the energy that exists within you. If energy appears, the Awakening Stone will show its corresponding color. Then he glanced at the boy in front of him. In a gentle tone, he said, "Don't worry, there is no danger." ”

After 5 minutes, the Awakening Stone placed on the table was still transparent and clear. Generally, the awakening is only about 2 to 5 minutes, and if it is exceeded, it is basically hopeless.

"Zhou Kun, it's a pity that you failed to awaken. Father Chiang, I'll leave it to you. Next: Wang Simiao. Tutor Cui called out the name of the next child, and Father Jiang took the previous Zhou Kun, who had failed to awaken, down and handed it over to his family. And instructed. God will bless you.

Lian 7 and the child all failed to awaken, "Your luck is not good this year." There were 15 children in total, and almost half. None of the awakenings succeeded. Mentor Cui and Father Jiang whispered. "In previous years, only a quarter of children could wake up. This year, it looks like it's going to be even less. Father Jiang whispered.

"The next Shen Mu. Mentor Cui sighed in his heart. But at work, after only a brief exchange with Father Jiang, he began to call the next one.

"Here, hello Tutor Cui. Shen Mu walked over calmly, and didn't seem to be hit by the previous few failed children.

"Shen Mu, very polite child, put your hand on it, close your eyes and feel the energy in your body. The Awakening Stone will show this energy, don't be nervous. Mentor Cui said kindly, but after a closer look, the young man didn't seem to be nervous. sighed in my heart, he was a good seedling, if only he could awaken successfully.

In the blink of an eye, two minutes passed, and there was no movement from the Awakening Stone. Shen Zicheng was also a little tormented in his seat. Every minute is an ordeal. He was worried about his children, and in less than a minute he thought about the future.

On the other hand, Shen Mu was unusually calm. It didn't sweat like the other kids. At this moment, deep in Shen Mu's heart, a faint voice sounded, "Sink your thoughts into your heart, down and down." There is infinite energy in that world, waiting for you to explore..."

When Shen Mu heard this strange and familiar voice, he was only stunned for a moment, and then began to sink his mind. The mind seems to be walking an endless road, constantly going downward, but it is bottomless. I don't know how long it took, but it seemed like it was only a few minutes. Suddenly, Shen Mu saw two small dots, and then slowly enlarged, and the mist was fluttering up and down. His mind fell rapidly, and he only had time to see clearly that it was a red and white mist, and his eyes trembled violently. The moment the mind came into contact with the blood-colored mist that he had collided with first, the whole person instantly woke up and withdrew from this wonderful realm. The moment he opened his eyes, the awakening stone in front of him was suddenly filled with blood-colored qi.

"Huh?" Mentor Cui was taken aback by the sudden reaction of the Awakening Stone. At this time, it was exactly 5 minutes, and just when he felt sorry for him that Shen Mu was going to fail, there was a change in the awakening stone. Generally, although the successful awakening is a red Douqi Filling Awakening Stone, it is not so fast. What's more, the color of the fighting spirit is clearly the fighting spirit of a martial artist. Even if a martial artist's fighting spirit is a high-level martial artist, it is only a slightly crimson color. How can blood be so exaggerated?

Mentor Cui was about to say something, but he saw that the blood-red awakening stone was slowly fading and gradually returning to light red, and then he felt a little relieved. This is a normal awakening, it may have been the mistake of the awakening stone just now, after all, his awakening stone is just a low-grade awakening stone, and it should be reasonable to occasionally show mistakes. By this time, the color had changed to a level that was lighter than most of the awakened colors. It seems that although this child has awakened, his talent is very average.

But at this time, Shen Mu suddenly found that with the appearance of blood-red fighting qi, a milky white air mass also came to fill the awakening stone, but it was only for a moment, and the blood color was intertwined with milky white, and others seemed to be just lightening the blood color.

"Shen Mu, congratulations, you have successfully awakened, although the color of your fighting spirit is a little lighter than that of the beginner-level martial artist, but the success of awakening is just the beginning, as long as you continue to work hard, you will also have a lot of achievements. Tutor Cui was full of smiles, and finally there was a child who had successfully awakened, and he didn't run in vain, after all, the academy also needs to send a large number of tutors to various towns every year to participate in the awakening task, if the number of awakenings is too small, it will inevitably be looked down upon by other colleges.

"Thank you, Mentor Cui. Shen Mu was still polite.

The next two children appeared who successfully awakened, but Shen Mu was not very familiar with them, so he didn't care much. Usually he barely plays with his peers. He just wants to sleep.

"Shen Mu, Su Qianqian, Wang Bin, the three of you are all doing well, everyone only has one chance for primary awakening in their lives, and you have successfully grasped it. The doors of Yves Saint Laurent will be open to you. Later you call all the parents over, and I'll wait for you in the back hall. After Tutor Cui finished speaking, he smiled slightly and turned around and left. As a guru, the status here is naturally transcendent. After arranging for the other children and their parents to leave in an orderly manner, Father Jiang said, "You three bring your parents to the back hall to find me, may God bless you." ”

Su Qianqian and Wang Bin's parents were already on the side. Needless to say, Shen Zicheng had already happily run over here and slapped the back of Shen Mu's head a few times. Shen Mu screamed in pain.

There were no nobles in Redwood Town, just traders and mercenaries. At this time, I came to the back hall. The three parents also shouted at Tutor Cui like children.

"You're welcome, I'm just doing my job," Mentor Cui looked around at a few people and continued, "Since the three of you have awakened, our Saint Laurent Academy is naturally open to you. This is the college's admissions post, if you choose our college, come and report it in September this year, I hope we will see you then. There are also some basic knowledge about martial artists, I will tell you about it now, I hope you will take this as an encouragement, cultivate well, and make a contribution to our Cangnan Continent in the future..."Tutor Cui's last sentence was not loud, as if he was muttering to himself, and there seemed to be a trace of worry in his eyes. In recent years, the demon beasts outside Cangbei City have become more and more unstable, and they seem to indicate something, who knows.

However, the three teenagers only listened to the first half of the sentence, and when they thought that they could go to the Saint Laurent Academy, they were already so excited that they were about to dance, and they couldn't show it yet, and the suppressed Divine Comedy trembled slightly. The three parents were also very excited.

It's no wonder that they are like this, the people of Cangnan Continent only have the opportunity to awaken their talents when they are 14 years old, the probability of awakening their fighting spirit and becoming a martial artist is very rare, and the probability of awakening their magic power to become a spirit is even slimmer. Once the talent is awakened, even if he returns to the town in the future, he can also get a good errand, low-level martial artists can get in touch with military-related activities, and middle and high-level martial artists can even do a captain's errand in the town, for ordinary people like this, whether it is status or income, it is very different from the past.

Instructor Cui left after a few more words, and Father Jiang came over at this time, "Su Qianqian, Shen Mu, Wang Bin, there is still half a month until September, and I have a set of cultivation exercises here, although this set of exercises is not even a low level, but it is enough to lay a certain foundation for you before you enter the school." Come back in half a month, our church will arrange a team to go to Saint Laurent, and escort you by the way. When you get to Yves Saint Laurent, go and sign up for yourself. After speaking, he handed the three of them a three-point booklet, "The mentor led the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual, I hope you don't be satisfied with the martial artist, hey..."

For some reason, Father Chiang didn't seem to be too happy for the three, and went to work in the vestibule after saying this.

The three of them also went home after greeting each other, Wang Bin, who was a little chubby, seemed to be more familiar with Su Qianqian, the two walked out while talking, and Shen Mu also went out of the church with his father.

"Xiao Mu, congratulations, but I hope you will practice diligently, don't be satisfied with just being a martial artist, you see that I am a low-level martial artist, although the mixed life is still passable, but in fact, for a martial artist, it is also very unproductive. Low-level martial artists can only be archers on the battlefield, and they are not much stronger than ordinary people. Only when you reach the realm of martial arts, that is the real powerhouse, and you can compete with a hundred on the battlefield..."Shen Zicheng seemed to be talking about what he had experienced.

"Dad, don't worry, this level can't satisfy me, I must become a transcendent martial artist in the future, and I have to earn a lot of money to honor your old man, hehe. "You boy!" said the father and son, laughing, as they walked home. At this moment, Shen Zicheng is indeed happy from the bottom of his heart, and I hope that the picture will always stay at this moment, this moment full of hope for the future. Unconsciously looked to the north, and this beautiful picture could last as long as it lasted.
