Chapter 5

On his way out to the street, Bai Xuan casually bought breakfast and greeted his neighbors with ease.

While eating, he walked towards the school. When he arrived, a strange expression suddenly appeared on Bai Xuan's face.

It seemed that due to the [Natural Authority], he could vaguely sense the emotions of the people around him. Hmm... how to put it... excitement, confidence, arrogance...

Even those who were usually introverted and felt inferior began to feel confident for some unknown reason; their eyes carried emotions he couldn't quite understand.

Describing it as "superior to others" might not be entirely accurate, but that was the general idea.

It was as if the protagonist knew his identity and treated everyone else as supporting characters and extras in his journey of growth, the most special person in the world.

Sigh~ It couldn't be that way, right?

Bai Xuan's eyes twitched slightly.

They couldn't have awakened some ability and considered themselves the only ones with such an ability, or even the main character, could they?

That would mean they hadn't read enough novels!

At that moment, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Xiao Bai, good morning."

"How did you sleep last night?"

"........."

"Maybe I'm a bit out of sync with the times, but no one has ever greeted me in the morning by asking how I slept last night."

"Someone who doesn't know might think I had some activity last night."

Bai Xuan rolled his eyes and turned around with a smile.

"Wei Ge, you must have been paying attention to the七星连珠 (Seven Stars Alignment) last night, right?"

Zhang Wei Yang pursed his lips when he heard Bai Xuan's words.

"I really don't know what my father was thinking when he gave me this name. He could have just switched the characters around; he even refused to take me to change my name."

"Wait until he's old, and I'll see if I pull his oxygen tube."

When he was young, he didn't understand, but as he grew up, he realized how "troublesome" this name was. Fortunately, his classmates at this age understood a bit.

They knew that those two characters were somewhat insulting to a boy, so they always restrained themselves and tried not to use that meaningful "nickname" to call him.

But Wei Ge wasn't a good nickname either! It was just better than "Yang Wei"!

After a slight complaint, Zhang Wei Yang continued:

"I wanted to see the Seven Stars Alignment, but it rained, so there was nothing I could do."

"But... have you noticed any changes in your body?"

At this point, Zhang Wei Yang's voice became very low.

"This morning, when I was washing my face, I suddenly found that I could control the water flow, even condensing water droplets from the air."

"Although the damage isn't high, I can feel that this ability is slowly getting stronger over time."

Bai Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. Controlling water flow and condensing water droplets—this was clearly a water element ability.

Not bad, this guy.

Then he looked at him with some doubt.

"Is it okay to tell me this?"

"Shouldn't you keep it hidden?"

Zhang Wei Yang shrugged and said nonchalantly:

"I am keeping it hidden, I just told you."

"Besides, to be honest, I don't think there's any need to hide it. Even if I use my imagination, I don't think I'm the only one who has awakened an ability."

"How could I be so lucky that the Seven Stars Alignment only awakened my ability?"

"No! That's really the case."

"Only it's me, not you."

Bai Xuan thought to himself. If it weren't for the chat group selecting a member, there wouldn't even be any spiritual energy revival, let alone awakening abilities.

Zhang Wei Yang's thoughts were just those of a minority.

In Bai Xuan's perception, most people wanted to show off their abilities to others but were afraid of being taken away for research, so they forcibly hid them.

They wanted to develop secretly and show off when they had the power to protect themselves.

"Let's go, into the class."

"I feel like there will be a good show soon."

Bai Xuan smiled and walked into the classroom, glancing around.

It was as if they were about to write "excited," "wanting to show off but can't," "I am the chosen one," "I am the main character," and so on on their faces.

In student days, even after reading many novels and anime, many minds were still so pure.

How interesting.

But not everyone could hold back. Having superpowers and not finding an opportunity to show off, would that still be a teenager?

Indeed, in Bai Xuan's gaze, the boy sitting diagonally across from him couldn't hold back anymore. He said to the girl behind him:

"Look, I'll perform a magic trick for you."

"This is an ordinary eraser, right?"

"Watch closely, rise!"

In the girl's indifferent gaze, which even carried a hint of "I'll just watch you show off," the eraser actually floated up.

Yes, it floated up!

Instantly, the girl was stunned, not just her, but the surrounding classmates who were watching the show were also stunned.

Even Bai Xuan showed a surprised expression.

Was this telekinesis? Gravity? Levitation ability? Or wind element ability?

No, wind element and gravity were impossible.

Bai Xuan, endowed with [Natural Authority] and the title of [Son of Nature], also had the ability to control elements. If the other person had used wind element ability, he would have sensed it.

Gravity is a form of gravitational effect, and the same principle applies.

As for levitation ability, Bai Xuan wasn't very familiar with it. He thought it was similar to the Shiki Shishi's Float Fruit in One Piece, but it didn't seem to be the case.

So the most likely was telekinesis.

But that's not right either. Telekinesis would be too exaggerated. The power of such a mind-based ability, if developed, would be unimaginably strong.

The current appearance was more like psychokinesis, which also has the word "telekinesis" but is quite different.

The boy, seeing all the classmates staring with wide eyes as if they had seen something incredible, showed a proud expression and said boastfully:

"How about it, Le Le, are you stunned?"

"Just say if I'm strong, 6 or not?!"

"Uh......"

Le Le came out of her daze and hesitated before saying:

"Not exactly stunned, just a bit surprised."

"But if it's just this, I think I can do it too."

Then, in front of Sun Qiang, she waved her right hand, and a pencil in front of her floated up like the eraser.

"What?!"

"What the hell?!"

Sun Qiang looked at the pencil in a daze, as if he had seen a ghost.

He looked at Le Le, then at the pencil, and his face changed. He muttered something that no one could understand.

"Every chosen protagonist's rise is accompanied by a rival, but why is it you!"

His eyes were full of sadness and disappointment, making Le Le speechless.
