Chapter 2 Some are happy, some are sad
Without a doubt, regardless of whether one can become a superpowered individual, martial arts is the main path to becoming stronger that cannot be bypassed. In most cases, superpowers are merely a branch or auxiliary route.
In the path of martial arts cultivation, it is divided into nine realms.
These are the so-called lower three realms, middle three realms, and upper three realms.
The lower three realms are divided into Copper Bone, Returning Strength, and Furnace.
Wenjing is so young to have reached the second level of Returning to Strength, even if she has only just reached the initial stage, her talent is definitely not bad.
You should know that even though our homeroom teacher, Lao Qin, is over forty years old, he's only at the peak of the Returning Strength Realm.
With that level of ability, you can only get into a junior college, and that's only if you have the extra points for having special abilities...
Wang Sheng clenched his fists involuntarily. Unless he awakened a very powerful superpower, his weakness in martial arts aptitude would inevitably prevent him from becoming stronger.
As I was pondering, I heard a loud "boom" from above.
The fireball that flew into the air exploded.
"Special Feature 3 [Explosion] can be unleashed as long as the compression intensity is high enough, making it even more powerful."
Upon hearing the sound, the students couldn't help but look up at the scattered sparks falling after the explosion in the air.
"Then there's the fourth trait, [Ember]."
As soon as Wenjing finished speaking, the withered flames in mid-air reignited and burned fiercely once more.
brush brush --
The fire was reignited.
A dazzling scene, like a fiery sunset, made everyone's eyes light up.
Is this what a student with superpowers is like? No, this is what a master of superpowers is like!
Students with special abilities are merely those with awakened potential, while "Masters" are the true superhumans.
Second-realm martial artist, master...
Wenjing was definitely the most impressive young person most students had ever met, and Wang Sheng was no exception.
"If we could awaken a power at her level, then..."
Wang Sheng clenched his fist again.
Besides him, the other students in the class also had different expressions, but none of them failed to be amazed and envious.
"Generally speaking, having three or more special abilities is considered excellent. Of course, this is not absolute. Sometimes, having just one special ability can make you stand out from others who have many."
Wenjing continued her explanation.
"For example, I once heard of a master who also uses fire, but his characteristic [Undying] allows his flames to burn even in water, almost guaranteeing death if one gets in contact with them, unless one cuts off an arm to survive. In this respect alone, no matter how many characteristics I have, I cannot compare."
Wang Sheng understood; he had heard about this before, and the man's surname was Uchiha.
"Alright, it seems I've ignited everyone's expectations. Very good. The stronger your hopes and wills, the more likely you are to achieve a good result when you awaken your abilities."
Only after Wenjing finished speaking did the students understand the good intentions behind her explanation and demonstration.
"Now, I will officially begin the awakening ceremony for everyone. Also, I wish all my junior brothers and sisters good luck in martial arts."
Her gentle and soft tone carried a firm determination, and all the students in the special ability training class became as if they had been injected with chicken blood, their fighting spirit soaring.
The scene became somewhat chaotic, but Lao Qin didn't interfere.
This is, after all, part of the ritual.
Soon, after Wenjing explained how to use the Awakening Device, the special training class finally welcomed its first Awakener.
Squad leader Zhang Zhichao.
He was one of the most hardworking students in the class, but his aptitude was average, and he was only a mid-grade mortal bone, which destined him to have little achievement in martial arts.
But now, his chance to turn the tide has arrived.
"What do you think the class monitor will awaken?"
The students then began to discuss it enthusiastically.
"He's so methodical, like a rock. Maybe awakening his superpower will turn him into a rock!"
"Haha, Xiaoyue, what you said is hilarious!"
The group chattered amongst themselves; after all, they were all fourteen or fifteen-year-old children. This childlike innocence and simplicity were the same in any world, and the battle on the front lines of the Rift was still a long way off for them.
Wang Sheng simply looked at everyone indifferently.
Having lived two lives, he has gained the equivalent of thirty years of experience. This is like adding one cup of 15-degree water to another cup of 15-degree water, resulting in... a large cup of 15-degree water.
"Wang Sheng, why are you so distracted? What are you thinking about?"
"I asked Liu Yingwan, who was standing to the side."
"I was thinking, if my awakened superpower is strong, will I be able to go to Qingjiang No. 1 High School with you?"
"Hmm? You want to go to the same high school as me, why?"
"Because you're beautiful, having you around is pleasing to the eye."
"what?"
Liu Yingwan was taken aback, then puffed out her cheeks and pouted, saying, "You little rascal!"
Then she turned her head away and ignored Wang Sheng.
Zhang Zhichao was released soon.
On the large screen panel of the Ability Awakening Device, a series of new messages appeared.
Name: Zhang Zhichao
Age: 15
[Special Ability: Petrification]
【Characteristics: "Gigantification", "Local Petrification", "Earth Element Self-Healing"】
[Special Ability Strength: F]
[Special Ability Potential: D]
[Note: This result is a preliminary assessment and does not represent the student's precise data. If needed, please use our professional advanced testing products in conjunction with this assessment.]
"Three characteristics, and the potential is D-rank. Not bad. This means that even if you can't succeed in martial arts, you can theoretically reach the upper limit of a level three master."
Wenjing commented.
A level three master? That's equivalent to a level three martial artist!
The students looked at each other in disbelief, unable to believe that Zhang Zhichao could have such a day.
With the data from this test, getting into an ordinary martial arts high school shouldn't be a problem!
The students' enthusiasm was reignited, and they were all eager to awaken.
However, some are happy while others are sad; those with good abilities naturally have those who are not.
Name: Yang Xin
[Special Ability: Electric Discharge]
[Property: Diffusion]
[Special Ability Strength: F]
[Special Ability Potential: F]
"Uh, Wenjing, is there any hope for me?"
Yang Xin looked at Wen Jing with an embarrassed expression.
"Hmm... Try using your special ability and let me see how it goes. By the way, the first time you use your ability, it might be a little blocked, so try to imagine yourself surrounded by a bunch of enemies."
Wenjing didn't sentence him to death directly, but instead gently educated him.
"it is good."
Yang Xin slowly closed his eyes, then quickly shouted:
"Go to hell, you lolicon!"
Crackling and popping!
Countless electric currents radiated outwards from his body!
A dense, crackling sound arose, as dense as a torrential downpour.
Instantly!
The clothes of everyone in the class became static-prone.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Ugh."
Wenjing sighed, and then said:
"Rank F is the lower limit shown on the detection panel, but it's not the lower limit for superpowers. You should give up on this path and focus on martial arts."
"oh."
Yang Xin returned to the ranks dejectedly.
Next, the awakening ceremony continued in full swing, and soon it was Wang Sheng's turn.
"Go Wang Sheng!"
Several girls in the class deliberately shouted before Wang Sheng entered the machine, which aroused the jealousy of many boys.
There's nothing we can do; it wasn't something he did on purpose.
I can't exactly scratch my face, can I?
Liu Yingwan was still angry. Not only did he not cheer for his deskmate, but he didn't even glance at her.
Forget it.
Wang Sheng politely nodded in response to the encouraging girls, and then strode into the awakening device.
