Chapter 3
The Awakening Ceremony Begins, A Sudden Change

Although Bai Zi An didn’t act like a spoiled brat, his identity was special. Coupled with his exceptional looks, he was destined to be the most dazzling person in the crowd, even amidst a sea of faces.

Most importantly, Bai Zi An’s school was considered the most prestigious high school in Bai Lin City.

The descendants of Bai Lin City’s generals and children of various high-ranking officials basically all gathered in their school.

These students were basically all shrewd and experienced.

And Bai Zi An, as the grandson of Bai Lin City’s Lord Bai Jing Chong, could be said to stand at the pinnacle of this group of pampered young masters.

Therefore, when Bai Zi An appeared, the classmates in his class subconsciously leaned towards him, enthusiastically greeting him and forming a small circle around him.

Bai Zi An simply smiled and nodded in return.

As for the reason why Bai Zi An hadn’t been to school for a month, it naturally didn’t need to be said.

Because he had spontaneously awakened his Beast Taming talent, Bai Zi An needed time to familiarize himself with it, so he hadn’t gone to school.

“An Ge, you’re finally here. I’ve missed you so much, I almost died from missing you these past few months.”

Just as Bai Zi An was greeting his classmates.

A chubby figure, like a round ball, directly squeezed through the crowd and came to Bai Zi An’s side, staring at him with a resentful expression.

“Yuan Pang Zi, can you please stop speaking to me in that resentful tone? People who don’t know better might think we have something going on.”

Bai Zi An said helplessly.

This was considered Bai Zi An’s top follower. Due to their families’ close ties, he had grown up with Bai Zi An and was good friends with him.

Moreover, Yuan Pang Zi had a very domineering name.

Yuan Po Tian.

At first glance, it sounded like the name of a male protagonist in a novel.

When they were young, Bai Zi An had even thought that Yuan Po Tian was the protagonist.

However, as time went by and he watched Yuan Pang Zi’s figure gradually become rounder, Bai Zi An completely dispelled his thoughts.

After all, how could there be a protagonist shaped like a basketball?

But there were countless protagonists who were just as handsome as the readers.

“Bai Zi An, you haven’t come to school for a month, I thought you were scared?”

“If you obediently admit defeat, I can let you off the hook and give up our bet.”

At this moment, a clear and cold female voice rang out.

A tall, elegant young woman with a head of crimson hair.

Surrounded by a group of students, she came to Bai Zi An’s side and looked at him with a proud expression.

“Don’t worry, Little Phoenix, this bet is still on.”

“I’m really looking forward to seeing the scene where you fulfill the bet after losing. Don’t cry then, okay.”

Looking at Feng Qian Yu with her fiery red hair, Bai Zi An smiled calmly, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

To dare to be so arrogant in front of Bai Zi An, she was naturally no ordinary person.

As the granddaughter of Bai Lin City’s Deputy Lord Feng Yang Yan, Feng Qian Yu was also a top-tier figure among the pampered young masters, similar to Bai Zi An.

However, while at school, Feng Qian Yu was always overshadowed by Bai Zi An.

With her arrogant personality, Feng Qian Yu had always been unwilling to be outdone and wanted to challenge Bai Zi An.

So, taking advantage of the Awakening Ceremony, they made a bet.

The content of the bet was to see whose Awakened talent was better.

The loser had to agree to one request from the winner.

Because of this reason, this scene unfolded before their eyes.

As for whether they could awaken their Beast Taming talent.

To be honest, they had no worries at all.

Their family elders were all Beast Taming experts, the possibility of not awakening a Beast Taming talent was almost negligible.

Of course, Bai Zi An didn’t have much worry about this either.

After all, he had successfully awakened his A-Rank talent spontaneously.

For this bet, Bai Zi An was 90% confident.

After all, S-Rank talents above A-Rank were quite rare in the entire Kyushu Federation. Their probability of appearance was not high.

Not to mention, their current location was merely a secret realm world under the jurisdiction of the Kyushu Federation.

“Damn Bai Zi An, don’t call me Little Phoenix.”

“Also, you just wait to lose this time. I’m looking forward to the day when you bow down before me.”

Feng Qian Yu’s expression was arrogant, a hint of confidence in her eyes.

Then, Feng Qian Yu, accompanied by her little followers, directly returned to their classroom.

“An Ge, you need to be careful. Feng Qian Yu seems to have come prepared this time.”

“I heard from my dad that the Feng family seems to have obtained a special treasure recently, which should help with awakening talents. That’s why Feng Qian Yu is so confident.”

Yuan Pang Zi said in a low voice, as if he had heard some inside information.

“The Feng family has a special origin and deep roots. It’s normal for them to have some special methods. It’s fine.”

Bai Zi An smiled calmly, not worried at all.

He had a feeling that Feng Qian Yu wouldn’t be able to cause him any trouble.

This was the intuition of his [Direct Perception] talent.

So, Bai Zi An wasn’t worried about anything.

“Students from different schools, hello everyone. I am Bai Jing Chong, the Lord of Bai Lin City. The Awakening Ceremony will be a new starting point in your lives......”

At the same time, on the platform of the Awakening Plaza, an old man with white hair and a youthful face, brimming with vitality, appeared.

This was Bai Zi An’s grandfather, Bai Jing Chong.

At this time, Bai Jing Chong was giving a routine speech, encouraging the middle school students.

At the same time, when Lord Bai Jing Chong appeared, the atmosphere on the Awakening Plaza instantly became enthusiastic.

Most of the middle school students all looked up at Bai Jing Chong with respect.

People yearn for strong individuals, especially those who protect them.

Bai Zi An’s expression remained calm, as he had seen this scene many times before.

After a while, Bai Jing Chong’s speech ended, and the Awakening Ceremony finally began.

On the day of the Awakening Ceremony, the divine power of the Awakening Divine Stone would envelop the entire Awakening Hall.

All the middle school students only needed to enter the Awakening Hall in batches according to their order.

Then, with the help of the Awakening Divine Stone, they could awaken their Beast Taming talents.

For a moment, the Awakening Ceremony officially began.

All the middle school students, according to their admission ticket numbers, entered the Awakening Hall in batches according to their order.

After a while, it was finally Bai Zi An’s school’s turn.

Bai Zi An and the others were led by the staff directly into the Awakening Hall.

It was a spacious hall with one thousand seats, capable of helping one thousand students awaken at once.

Above the Awakening Hall, a seven-colored divine stone phantom, emitting a mysterious aura, floated above the Awakening Hall, emitting a soft blue light that enveloped the entire hall.

This was the spatial projection of the Awakening Divine Stone, as well as the Awakening Energy it emitted.

Bai Zi An didn’t waste any time. He found his seat, sat down cross-legged, and began to absorb the Awakening Energy, preparing to construct his Beast Taming Space.

However, at this moment, something seemed to be happening to Bai Zi An.
