Chapter 4

......

The awakening ceremony is conducted simultaneously for twenty classes.

Mofan is number 48, and he will be the last one in his class to receive the awakening blessing.

The homeroom teacher, who is also everyone's magic mentor, Xue Musheng, is already standing at the front of the class. The awakening ceremony will take place in public, and the students need to walk to the front when their names are called, place their hands on the awakening stone in front of the magic mentor, and quietly sense it.

"Hey, you who came in through the back door, you won't fail the awakening, right? I heard that some really incapable people can fail the awakening. Someone like you, a piece of trash, shouldn't waste the energy of the expensive awakening stone," said Zhao Kunsan, an old classmate of Mofan, from another line.

Zhao Kunsan is Mu Bai's lackey. Mu Bai himself feels that dealing with Mofan would lower his status, so he mostly lets Zhao Kunsan handle it.

What Zhao Kunsan said about the possibility of failing the awakening is true, and Mofan is also quite worried about this. Strictly speaking, he... well, he can be considered as having come from another world. If his constitution is different from the people here, this joke would be too big!

"Mofan, ignore this scumbag. Just show him a fire element when you awaken, and let him know what it means to look down on people!" said Ni Hou, who was in the same class as Mofan.

Mofan didn't say anything. In the past, he would have definitely used his talent for cursing to verbally abuse this lackey Zhao Kunsan, but today he wasn't in the mood. On one hand, he was indeed very nervous, and on the other hand, he didn't know why the black pendant around his neck kept trembling strangely.

This black pendant is a relic of the old gatekeeper, Old Ying, from his junior high school. Mofan strongly suspects that this guy is the culprit behind the drastic changes in this world. That day, Mofan was wearing this pendant when he fell asleep on the hill behind the school.

This morning, the pendant was acting like it was possessed, trembling non-stop, making his hands shake uncontrollably.

Damn it, keep shaking, you piece of crap! Can't you just be a normal pendant!

"Mu Bai!" the homeroom teacher, Xue Musheng, called out.

"Ah, that's Mu Bai. He's so handsome, and he's the top student too."

"Right, right. I saw him this morning, and I really like him. I wonder what element he will awaken to. I hope it's not something weak like water or light."

As soon as Mu Bai stood up, he immediately heard a few girls in the class chattering, and some fangirls from other classes were also looking at him frequently.

Mu Bai looked indifferent, but his eyes clearly enjoyed being the center of attention. He walked to the front of the class, with a modest and confident smile on his face.

"Mu Bai, you are from the famous Ice Family, the Mu Clan, right?" the homeroom teacher, Xue Musheng, asked with a smile.

"Exactly."

"Good. If you awaken to the Ice element, you will have a significant advantage over others, but don't forget to work hard. Talent alone doesn't determine everything," Xue Musheng said.

Mu Bai nodded, but in his heart, he thought: Yes, talent alone doesn't determine everything, but without talent and a good family background, you will always live at the bottom of society!

With the homeroom teacher's permission, Mu Bai slowly placed his hands on the floating awakening stone.

The awakening stone is shaped like a thick star compass with a clear palm print. Mu Bai, who appeared calm on the surface, was also nervous inside as he placed his hands on the awakening stone...

Given his bloodline, the possibility of awakening to the Ice element is the highest, but some special cases might occur. If he awakens to the Water or Holy Light element, the Mu Clan might not value him as much, as they wouldn't waste resources to find corresponding attributes for him.

Right hand placed...

Suddenly, the awakening stone emitted a starlight glow. These glows formed star traces, like special blood vessels, crawling up to Mu Bai's right hand.

Everyone was witnessing the awakening for the first time, and the students stood on tiptoe to watch Mu Bai.

Mu Bai stood there motionless, as if enlightened, his head slightly raised...

"Crack, crack, crack~~~~"

Suddenly, a cold frosty aura surrounded the awakening stone.

This frost grew stronger, slowly freezing the edges of the awakening stone, forming a small layer of ice!

"Ice element, it's really the Ice element!!!"

Suddenly, someone behind him shouted, accompanied by some girls' screams.

Mu Bai had already heard the sound and opened his eyes in joy!

Indeed, it was the Ice element. With the Mu Clan's elemental origin, he would be more easily accepted by the Mu Clan, and the day of his rise to power was not far off. Dealing with a small-time scumbag like Mofan would be like squashing an ant... Wait, no, now that he has awakened to the Ice element, he is a legitimate disciple of the Mu Clan. Why should he bother with this small-time scumbag?

He needs to have a broader vision. Yes, he needs to have a broader vision. There might even be a chance to train with Mu Ningxue!

"Very good, it's a very pure Ice element. I believe a field of Ice element stardust should have appeared in your spiritual world. Train hard and make it stronger!" the homeroom teacher, Xue Musheng, said with approval.

Being able to freeze the awakening stone during the awakening ceremony indicates that this Ice element power surpasses the norm, making him a very talented Ice element apprentice. This boy should have a bright future!

"Next, Qiu Yueying!"

As soon as the homeroom teacher finished speaking, a girl with a touch of heroism on her face stepped forward.

"Good, Earth element. Your stardust has a good start, which shows that your previous efforts have paid off!"

"Next, Xu Qinglin!"

"Also Ice element."

At this moment, Mofan specially stood on tiptoe to watch. He noticed that for the Ice element awakening, the guy named Xu Qinglin only produced a faint layer of frost, without freezing the awakening stone.

From this, it can be seen that even within the Ice element, Xu Qinglin is far inferior to Mu Bai in both talent and cultivation.

"Next, Lu Xiaobin."

"Ah, Water element!"

"Ah, my God, why am I Water element? I should be Fire element!" the student named Lu Xiaobin suddenly shouted, and his voice could be heard for over a hundred meters.

"Don't lose heart. Training in any element is the same. If you can reach the intermediate mage level, you will gain more advantages," Xue Musheng said with a sympathetic look but a comforting tone.

Lu Xiaobin had no other choice and returned to his seat, dejected.

In fact, the initial awakening is very important. If it's the Fire element, one would have a certain combat ability even at the beginner mage level, and it would likely bring many advantages in the future.

If it's the Water element, the initial Water element skill is Water Defense, which is not as strong as Rock Defense and is not very useful without specialized training, at least for a beginner mage.
