Chapter 7: The Rite of Enlightenment

Since yesterday was the Polar Night, today's Pan-Continental language test was temporarily changed to an auspices ceremony.

In addition to helping students like Su Xiao who have not yet awakened the primordial spirit to open their spirits, today's opening ceremony also has the important task of identifying the original heart and exorcising evil spirits.

In human terms, it is to identify the level of Yuan Ling talent of external students, and by the way, see if there are any spies from the outer realm.

As for the principle, Su Xiao still hasn't figured it out, could it be that the spiritual ceremony and the function of the lie detector can't be achieved?

Looking at the hateful eyes of Qiyue on the other side, Su Xiao turned his head a little weakly, and asked Jiujiu in a low voice:

"What happened to Qiyue this morning, I think she seems to be quite angry."

"Tie it up to a telephone pole for a few hours." Jiu Jiu looked at Su Xiao with a smile, but the answer he said made Su Xiao a little confused.

"Don't worry, I haven't done anything strange, don't think about it."

Looking at Jiujiu's playful smile, Su Xiao's face instantly turned red, ignoring that Jiujiu would actually know about the telephone pole.

After experiencing the "contract" incident at noon, Su Xiao's relationship with Jiujiu and the cold Linlu has improved a lot.

Although Linlu still looked like he was ignorant of the answer, he didn't show an attitude of disgust, and he accepted Su Xiao as an outsider.

As for the identities of these two people, Su Xiao also has a lot of speculation, but every time he wants to knock on the side of the cliché, he will be cleverly bypassed by Jiujiu, or it is a counter-cliché.

After several times in a row, Su Xiao gave up his plan to delve into the identities of the two, after all, he didn't check his household registration.

"Ahem, please be quiet, students." The dean on the podium coughed lightly and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

There were quite a few new students from the outlands this time, but because of time problems, only Jiujiu and the others were briefly assigned to the D-level class.

The students who can transfer from the Outlands to the Holy Capital are either extremely talented or have extraordinary family backgrounds, and neither of these people will obviously be placed in the D-level class, so the placement is a trivial process that wastes time for them.

"So, after you finish testing the Yuan Ling talent, it is estimated that you will leave the D-level class."

"No wonder other people aren't very interested in us." Jiujiu looked around thoughtfully, and stretched lazily.

"Although it has only been thirty years since the advent of the Yuan Spirit, the concept of the Yuan Spirit determining class seems to have been deeply rooted in everyone's heart." Su Xiao sighed a little helplessly, and was also a little helpless about this phenomenon.

After all, according to this set of hierarchical concepts, the probability of him marrying Bai Fumei as CEO and reaching the pinnacle of his life is almost zero.

"People always miss winter in the summer, and then they miss the summer in the winter, doing repetitive and meaningless things." Jiujiu shook his head with a smile, a dim light in his eyes.

Su Xiao looked at Jiu Jiu a little blankly, not understanding the specific meaning of her words.

"The opening ceremony seems to be about to begin."

At the same time, the teaching director on the stage waved the short stick in his hand vigorously and struck the gong on the stage heavily.

The orchestra invited from nowhere played a thick and bright accompaniment, symbolizing the beginning of the spiritualization ceremony.

Merely......

Su Xiao listened to the familiar sound of suona, and always had the illusion that the whole school was eating.

"The Spiritual Ceremony has officially begun!" This throat-breaking shout pulled Su Xiao back from fantasy to reality.

"By the way, the good news is that in a little more than a month, on the first day of the new year, the academy will hold a grand ceremony in the United Temple, where a series of competitions will be held, and those who perform well will receive mysterious rewards."

Su Xiao looked at the chattering dean casually, and almost fell asleep.

This kind of awakening/exam that almost all fantasy novels have is too familiar to Su Xiao.

And the routines of these ceremonies are similar, others pave the way, and then humiliate the male protagonist, and then pretend to be forced to slap the face or endure the humiliation.

Although he looked indifferent on the surface, Su Xiao's heart was excited at this moment, and he couldn't wait to be the first to rush up and make a splash.

However, the school's arrangement is for outsiders to awaken the Yuan Spirit first, and then Su Xiao, a D-class student who has not yet been able to awaken.

Although this body had also participated in the Enlightenment Ceremony before, this time it was Su Xiao's own consciousness after all, so he had extra expectations for the Enlightenment Ceremony, looking forward to being able to awaken a powerful Yuan Spirit, and then embark on a happy life in Long Aotian.

The so-called opening ceremony, although the name sounds very mysterious, is actually a boring and cumbersome formalism of traditional feudal superstition mixed with the mechanical assistance of the Yuan Ling.

Those who receive the initiation ceremony first praise the greatness of God in their hearts, and then the priest of the temple pours holy water on them.

After completing the baptism, the recipient reaches into a mysterious small black box, feels the abundant Yuan Spirit Qi around him, attracts them into his body, and then condenses into a thin Yuan Spirit power, circulates in the body, and finally gradually grows stronger, awakening the Yuan Spirit hidden in his body.

The only useful part of the whole ritual is the last step, the small black box and the condensation of the power of the primordial spirit.

Although the small black box looks inconspicuous, it is the proud work of the temple's scientific research department, and it can use the least amount of Yuan Spirit Crystals to complete the auxiliary function of stimulating the Yuan Spirit, and it does help the awakened a lot.

But there is also a problem with this set of rituals, that is, as the ritual progresses, the surrounding Yuan Spirit Qi and the Yuan Spirit Crystal reserves in the small black box will become less and less, and the effect of awakening will decrease accordingly.

However, Su Xiao, a D-level student who has failed to awaken many times, is not worthy of the academy to replace the Yuan Spirit Crystal for him, and whether they can successfully awaken is not within the consideration of the academy and the temple.

After all, D-level students only have a 1/10 chance of being promoted to official primordial spirits, so the scum among these D-level students is even less qualified to be taken seriously.

Class is justice, power is eternal, and this is the eternal truth that God teaches people.

Su Xiao didn't have much opinion on this, after all, he had long been surprised by this kind of thing.

After watching it for a while, Su Xiao couldn't resist the temptation of the sleeping demon, and unconsciously fell asleep on Jiujiu's lap.

And Jiujiu chose to ignore Su Xiao's "rude" behavior, allowing him to use his legs as pillows.

Linlu on the side had a blue face, looking at Su Xiao with a hostile face.

By the time Su Xiao woke up, most of the people in the venue had already left, and even the priests of the temple were a little tired, impatiently shouting the names of the D-class students, and their tones were full of perfunctory.

Although the people who were called were unhappy, they didn't dare to show it, and one by one they smiled and carried out a "simplified" version of the opening ceremony under the instructions of the priest.

Compared to Su Xiao's waste firewood that failed to awaken many times, the number of outsiders was obviously much larger, so by the time the D-level students came to the stage to awaken, the Yuan Spirit Crystal in the small black box had been exhausted, and only some residues mixed with impurities remained, barely functioning.

"Next, D-level Class 1, Su Xiao." The temple was a little impatient and read Su Xiao's name, hoping that this boring ceremony would end soon.

Su Xiao instantly came to his senses, jumped up excitedly from Jiujiu's legs, and rushed to the stage with an excited face. Waiting for the arrival of a great genius.

"I don't believe it, this time it's a failure to awaken!"

Information that can now be disclosed: The clergy titles of the temple are divided into categories according to the rank of the primordial spirit

Priest: 1st Order, 2nd Order, 3rd Order

Priest: 4th Order, 5th Order, 6th Order

Grand Priest: 7th Order, 8th Order, 9th Order
