AWB Chapter 584 Awakening Ceremony
Chapter 584 Awakening Ceremony
Cangnan, old town.
Inside the cozy two-story house, Jiang Ye walked to the dining table and said helplessly.
"Mom, don't try to comfort me. Being a liberal arts student isn't so bad; you don't have to fight or kill anything."
He picked up his chopsticks, smiled, and took a piece of braised pork that looked quite good, then put it in his mouth.
Nix sat down next to him, smiled, and patted his head. "Okay, if you can't find a job, Mom will support you."
Jiang Ye was taken aback, and slowly stopped chewing.
In this world, those who awaken the [Forbidden Ruins] are already few and far between, and agents of the gods are even rarer.
To enter the Shinto path and follow the Shinto system, one must also enter the dangerous Shinto ancient archives, making it even more difficult.
Therefore, most people's fate is to become ordinary people—graduate, find a job, and spend their lives as laborers in a company.
However, after so many years of development, many industries in Daxia have become saturated, and it is common for graduates to not be able to find jobs.
"Mom, I will try my best. I can't let you support me forever." Jiang Ye picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mother's bowl.
Since his arrival in this world, he has only had his mother, Liu Su. As for his father, his mother has never mentioned him.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they've relied on each other for survival for the past 18 years.
"It's okay, don't put too much pressure on yourself." Nyx held Jiang Ye's hand, her eyes full of affection.
She knew better than anyone that Jiang Ye was the protagonist in this world.
The child who once stood against all living beings will shine even brighter in this life.
"Okay, Mom, let's eat."
Jiang Ye nodded emphatically, but felt a little guilty inside.
After all, judging from his grades and performance at school, he was considered a good-for-nothing by everyone and was a typical example of someone who could never awaken the Forbidden Ruins.
Only his mother, Lin Qiye, and Jiang Er, who called him "elder brother" for no apparent reason, considered himself a genius, one in a million.
This left him puzzled and feeling utterly helpless.
Let's see the results tomorrow...
……
The next day, early morning.
"Mom, no need, just wait for my good news at home."
"I go first."
Jiang Ye ran out of the house, not letting his mother go to the school to watch his awakening ceremony.
If they really can't awaken, that would be a huge embarrassment.
She didn't want her mother to see her proud child being ridiculed and scolded by others.
After running a long distance, Jiang Ye stopped and panted, supporting himself on his knees with both hands.
"Jiang Ye, why are you running so fast?"
Ok?
Jiang Ye looked up and saw Lin Qiye, who was wearing a school uniform and smiling beautifully in the early morning sunlight.
He wasn't surprised, after all, the two went to school together almost every day.
This puzzled Jiang Ye, as no matter what time he chose to leave home, Lin Qiye could always leave the house at the same time.
"It's alright, the awakening ceremony is about to begin, let's go first."
"okay."
Jiang Ye gave Lin Qiye a strange look, but ultimately didn't ask any further questions.
Shortly after the two arrived at the school, Martial Arts Class 1 and Class 2 began to assemble and gather on the playground.
There are only two martial arts classes in the school, and they are the most elite students in the entire school.
The rest of the classes all pursued liberal arts studies, participated in the college entrance examination, and aimed to contribute to the nation's development through higher education.
Beneath the rising flag of the Great Xia Dynasty, six figures draped in dark red cloaks appeared on the rostrum.
Jiang Ye, sitting in the audience, immediately recognized their identities.
It was the 136th Squad stationed in Cangnan City.
"This is not much different from the original work; it seems that only the plot has changed."
Jiang Ye muttered to himself, "But Hongying and Si Xiaonan, I must say, are quite good-looking."
?
Lin Qiye, who had already awakened his abilities, frowned slightly upon hearing this.
"Quiet!!"
On the stage, the formally dressed principal walked out with a microphone and began to speak solemnly.
"The [Forbidden Ruins] Awakening Ceremony is about to begin. This is also a major test for you in your lives."
"If you successfully awaken the [Forbidden Ruins], you will enter the Martial Arts University established by the Night Watch headquarters and become Night Watch members who are respected by all."
"If I can also gain the approval of the gods and become their agent, then becoming a god in the future will be just around the corner."
"As for the divine path of those favored by the gods, don't even think about it. Being down-to-earth is the best approach."
Jiang Ye, listening from below the stage, nodded slightly.
Historically, a hundred years ago, those favored by the gods, that is, cultivators who stepped into the path of divinity, ventured into Earth from the distant Nine Realms.
The five most powerful beings in the Great Xia Dynasty, also known as 'demigods' by those favored by the gods, were agents of the gods outside the United Nations. They fought for an unknown amount of time at the border between the two worlds.
Ultimately, an agreement was reached to maintain non-interference and friendly exchanges.
However, the merging of the two worlds also brought about numerous disasters on Earth.
This forced the Night's Watch headquarters to reveal the secret of the Forbidden Ruins to the public and summon more Night's Watch members who had awakened the Forbidden Ruins.
It was not only to increase national strength and resist disasters, but also to deter the 'favored ones' from the nine realms.
Although it goes against the worldview of Godslayer, Eno expressed his respect.
"...Now, the [Forbidden Ruins] Awakening Ceremony officially begins."
On stage, the principal said a few more words, then handed the microphone to Chen Muye, the captain of Team 136, and nodded respectfully to him.
Chen Muyi gestured to Wu Xiangnan with his eyes, and the latter nodded, then together with Wen Qimo, they brought over a sphere that emitted a mysterious light.
The sphere is suspended on a black pillar.
"Hello, students of Martial Arts Class 1 and 2, I am Chen Muye, the captain of the Night Watchers Squad 136 stationed in Cangnan City."
"We will be the ones to preside over your [Forbidden Ruins] Awakening Ceremony this time."
Chen Muye walked to the glowing sphere and explained, "This is the [Forbidden Ruins] Awakening Sphere. By infusing it with a large amount of spiritual energy, it can temporarily stimulate your potential."
"But this process only lasts 3 seconds. Whether you can awaken the Forbidden Ruins depends on yourselves."
Jiang Ye, sitting in the audience, glanced at the Awakening Ball, which was mentioned in the textbook.
This is similar to the principle of 'spirit guidance', but after research, the lethal effect has been removed. It awakens people from the forbidden realm by briefly stimulating their potential.
However, there are conditions for using this. First, one's biological age must be 18 years old, and second, one's physical indicators must meet the official standards in order to enter the awakening ceremony.
Otherwise, they could very well lose their lives during the awakening process.
"Let's start with Class One, first one: Li Yifei!"
Li Yifei, who has a somewhat honest and simple appearance, walked up to the podium from the first class.
"Put your hand on it." Chen Muye pointed to the Awakening Ball.
Li Yifei took a deep breath, slowly extended his palm, and placed it on the surface of the sphere.
Instantly, the sphere's shimmering light changed from multicolored to purple, and a large amount of spiritual energy surged along Li Yifei's arm.
"Hiss!" Li Yifei suddenly felt every cell in his body throbbing, and even a tearing sensation.
But this feeling disappeared immediately after three seconds.
Si Xiaonan, who was holding a folder, adjusted her glasses and spoke.
"Forbidden Ruins Sequence 405 [Nanda Serpent Demon - Serpent Species], Awakening Successful."
