The next day, the sun rose......

Gu Chen rolled over and got out of bed early, walked out of the door lightly, listened to the snoring sound coming from his father's room, and smiled lightly.

"Whew, it's still good in the morning......"

Chang Chang rose to a lazy waist, and Gu Chen's heart had already beaten irrepressibly. Years of waiting are finally a reality today.

"I must complete the awakening and surprise my father. Clenched fists, a determined gaze shining through his eyes.

Walking along the winding path of the village, Gu Chen walked quickly towards the ancestral hall.

"Yo, Chen'er, it's so early, why are you going? ”

On the side of the road, a thin man who had just gone out looked at Gu Chen with a smile.

"Uncle Wang, I'm going to attend the awakening ceremony. ”

"Oh, your father agreed? Oh, it's so rare, after all these years, Lao Gu is still enlightened. ”

The man was slightly surprised, that Gu Xiaotian was strongly opposed to Gu Chen participating in this ceremony in the past, and he and other villagers personally went to persuade him several times to no avail, why is it abnormal today.

"Uncle Wang, then I'll go first. Gu Chen's face was full of joy.

"Okay, good, kid, come over early, I wish you success. The man grinned, in his impression, Gu Chen was a rare sensible child.

Along the way, after greeting many people, Gu Chen came to the door of the ancestral hall. At this moment, many children from other families have also walked towards here.

"Hey, Chen'er, why are you here?"

In front of the ancestral hall, the old village chief is standing tremblingly at the door, greeting the people who come to participate in the ceremony, in this small village, even if there is only one puppet master who has completed the awakening, it is the glory of the whole village.

Gu Chen hurriedly walked up to help the white-haired old man, and hurriedly explained.

"Okay, your father's elm head is finally enlightened, then you go in quickly, the ceremony began yesterday, today is the last day, grandpa hopes you can succeed." The old man's face also showed a rare relief, he had felt pity for this child all these years.

"Well, village chief grandfather, then I'll go in first. ”

At this time, there are already a lot of villagers in the main hall of the entire ancestral hall, every year of the awakening ceremony, the person who presides over the ceremony will only stay in this village for two days, and only test for fifty children every day, once there is a successful awakening, it will be immediately accepted and taken away, and those who have not awakened, as long as they are adults, can participate in the next ceremony.

In front of the main hall, two middle-aged men in yellow robes were whispering, and their eyes swept over the young men and girls in the hall from time to time.

"Third Senior Brother, none of this village could successfully awaken yesterday, such a small village, I see, there are no good seedlings......"

The fair-skinned man on the left complained in a low voice, such a time-consuming ritual had already made him very dissatisfied.

"Fifth junior brother, this is the task assigned by the master, no matter what, we must complete it conscientiously, there are only a few villages within the scope of our academy, and the number of new disciples in recent years has long been much worse than before, can we find one." ”

The man known as the Third Senior Brother frowned slightly, and he didn't have much hope for today's ceremony.

Squeak!

The door of the hall slowly closed, and the old village chief slowly walked in.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the last day of the natal awakening ceremony, this year there are a total of eighty-three children in our village to participate, and fifty children have failed yesterday, I hope that the remaining thirty-three children of you will show a good example and add glory to our Yao Village. ”

The old man bowed slightly to the two people in front of him, and continued: "These two are the adults of the Dicang Academy, and this ceremony will be presided over by the two adults, now, I will invite the two adults to speak." ”

Gu Chen stood at the end of the crowd, looking at the two middle-aged people who were slowly getting up, with golden robes, gilded piping, and two silver moon symbols on their chests.

"They're puppeteers, and they're big puppeteers. Gu Chen looked at the sign on the chest of the two of them and thought secretly.

On the Canggu Continent, the puppet master has been divided into nine realms since awakening, the small puppet master, the big puppet master, the spirit puppet master, the Xuan puppet master, the emperor puppet master, the ancestral puppet master, the yin and yang puppet master, the eight desolation puppet master and the totem puppet master. In each realm, there are nine small steps, and only by completing the breakthrough of the number of ninety-nine can one enter a higher realm.

And on the entire continent, the puppet masters who can cultivate to become the puppet masters of the Eight Desolations, looking at the mainland, they are all giants, and as for the totem puppet masters above the Eight Desolations, in the entire ancient history, there are only four people.

"Ahem!" In the first place, the fair-skinned middle-aged man cleared his throat and said, "Below is the Wang Ling of Dicang Academy, this is my third senior brother Xu Zhen, I won't say much nonsense, let's start now." ”

After a pause, the middle-aged man Wang Ling took out a crystal clear stone from his bosom and said: "This is the puppet test stone, which can test the innate puppet value in your body, roughly speaking, the puppet value is divided into nine orders, and only people above the fourth order can awaken the awakening of the natal puppet, and next, the one whose name I called walked to the front in turn." ”

"Yao Village, Zhao Shishi ......"

As soon as the words fell, a thin teenager walked out of the crowd nervously.

Airplanes!

Under the control of Wang Ling, the stone clinged to the young man's forehead, and a burst of silver light surged, and four silver bands of light slowly appeared on the stone.

"Born with a fourth-order puppet power value, it can be awakened. ”

"Yao Village, Li Tang, born with a second-order puppet power, can't awaken. ”

"Yao Village, Yi Xiaofeng, born with a first-order puppet value, can't awaken. ”

.........

The silver light on the stone kept flickering, and the young men and girls in the hall were slowly divided into two groups, and those who did not meet the conditions for awakening obviously accounted for the vast majority, each with teary eyes, while the other side was excited.

"Okay, all the people on the list have completed the test, stay if they meet the conditions for awakening, and let the rest go. ”

After Wang Ling repeatedly checked the list and the number of people in the field, he waved his hand at everyone. Looking at the only five qualified candidates, he sighed.

"My lord, and me"

At this time, Gu Chen, who was at the back of the crowd, couldn't help waving his hand, he had been waiting from the beginning, but until the end, he didn't hear his name, he didn't want to miss this day again.

"Huh?" Wang Ling looked up at the hurried waving arm, looked at the list carefully, and finally looked at the old village chief on the side suspiciously.

"Lord Wang Ling, his name is Gu Chen, and he is also from our village, but his family has only agreed to let him participate in the awakening ceremony until today, you see, can you let him participate in it too. The old village chief hurriedly explained.

"Oh, that's it!" the middle-aged man frowned and said, "Okay, then you come forward." ”

"Haha......" Seeing that the middle-aged man agreed to participate by himself, Gu Chen instantly smiled and ran over.

Airplanes!

As before, the Puppet Test Stone was clinging to Gu Chen's forehead.

The moment the stone touched his skin, Gu Chen obviously felt a chill between his eyebrows, as if there was a cold qi injected into his body from the stone, and as the cold intensified, the freezing sensation slowly appeared in the blood.

Gu Chen clenched his fists, and the cold air made his whole body appear stiff.

"Alas!"

Wang Ling glanced at the stone that had not changed for a long time, and shook his head again, "It seems that there is not much hope for this village this year, until now there are only five people who have reached the standard, and the highest innate puppet value is only the sixth order." ”

Just as Wang Ling was about to reach out and take off the stone, the third senior brother Xu Zhen grabbed his hand, and then stared at Gu Chen, who slowly closed his eyes.

Warmth, this is Gu Chen's only feeling at this time, the cold chill before has long disappeared without a trace, a warm air flow gradually rises from his abdomen, like a mother's warm love, across every meridian, the frozen blood flows again, and the clenched fists are slowly stretched.

Recite!

In the stunned gaze of everyone, the puppet test stone that was clinging to Gu Chen's forehead erupted with a burst of brilliant silver light, and a full seven silver threads were abruptly wrapped around the stone.

Wow!

Everyone was stunned by the sight in front of them, they didn't expect that this unusually ordinary boy in their eyes would have such a high talent, and he would have a whole level more innate puppet power than the most powerful boy before.

"Oh, seventh-order ......" Wang Ling's eyebrows raised, and it was only at this time that the corners of his mouth hung a trace of curvature.

"It's not over yet. Xu Zhen, who had been staring at the stone, was already trembling with excitement at this time.

Buzz! Buzz!

Three more loud sounds sounded on the stone, and in the silver light, two other condensed silver threads suddenly spread out, slowly spiraling above the stone.

"I'll go, Ninth Order ......" Wang Ling's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't help but burst out foul.

Generally speaking, if the innate puppet power can reach the fourth order, it can carry out the real puppet awakening, and every time it rises to a level, the success rate of awakening will be greater, and once this puppet power reaches the seventh order, it means that the tester will definitely be able to awaken the natal puppet, as for the eighth and ninth orders in the back, in the ceremony presided over by the two of Wang Ling for so many years, it has never appeared.

"I found a treasure this time. Not only Wang Ling, but even Xu Zhen was shocked by the nine silver threads in front of him.

Bite!

The silver light suddenly died, and the puppet test stone instantly regained its original appearance, and fell steadily into Wang Ling's hands, and after a long time, Gu Chen slowly opened his eyes, looking at the blazing gazes of the two people in front of him, he couldn't help but shrink back.

"What's your name?" Xu Zhen grabbed Gu Chen's weak shoulders, his face full of excitement.

"Uh...... Gu Chen. ”

"Good, good. Gu Chen. Xu Zhen tried his best to control his turbulent state of mind, and said, "Good boy, you stand on the side of those five people first, and I will personally awaken for you." ”

"Oh"

Gu Chen, who was confused, walked slowly to the side without a trace of joy. Just now, when the ninth silver thread appeared, Gu Chen vaguely saw a cheek that was both familiar and unfamiliar, that warm smile was something he had never felt since he could remember, and that warmth was deeply imprinted in his blood until now.
