Bab 2: Beginnings and Awakenings(2)
[Intuition]: A-grade spiritual talent, with excellent combat intuition and occasional premonitions. Enables communication with spirit beasts, showcasing a comprehensive range of skills.
Bai Zian's talent for fighting beasts is powerful, boasting the ability to intuitively sense good and evil during battles and communicate effortlessly with spirit beasts. This A-grade [Intuitive Sense] talent is exceptional among the various beast-fighting abilities, bringing joy to the Bai family.
"Grandpa, my [Intuitive Sense] talent awakened on its own. I feel pretty good about it," Bai Zian shared, the joy evident in his voice.
Old man Bai Jingchong beamed with pride, "You've done well, Xiao An. Self-awakening isn't an easy task. It shows you've got great potential. You might grow into a remarkable beastmaster."
While Bai Zian was content, Bai Jingchong reminded him not to underestimate the Awakening Ceremony. The Kyushu Federation employs a unique top-tier treasure—the Awakening God Stone. It holds special significance, originating from the era when beasts threatened humanity's survival.
"Xiao An, the Awakening God Stone is a special treasure. There's only one in the entire Kyushu Federation. It's vital for the awakening ceremony, and it has a remarkable history," Bai Jingchong explained, his voice carrying the weight of experience.
"But Grandpa, my [Intuitive Sense] talent is pretty good on its own. Do I really need the Awakening God Stone?" Bai Zian asked, curious about the necessity.
Bai Jingchong chuckled, "Don't underestimate it. The Awakening God Stone is a cornerstone of our beast-fighting civilization. It will help you build your beast-guarding space during the ceremony. That's a crucial step on your path to becoming a beastmaster."
Though Bai Zian appeared nonchalant, Bai Jingchong insisted on the ceremony's importance. The Awakening God Stone is a rare treasure, and its divine energy supports the awakening of millions of students across the Kyushu Federation.
"Remember, Xiao An, this is a significant opportunity for you," Bai Jingchong advised, his tone serious.
Bai Zian nodded earnestly, "I understand, Grandpa. I'll take the Awakening Ceremony seriously."
As Bai Zian delved into the details of the ceremony, he discovered that the stone's divine power projects across the Kyushu Federation, aiding students in awakening their talents. Bai Zian marvels at the miraculous nature of this process.
"It's incredible, Grandpa. I never knew the Awakening God Stone had such power," Bai Zian expressed his amazement.
His father, Bai Chengzhi, interrupted with a stern reminder—building a beast space is Bai Zian's top priority.
"Dad's right, Xiao An. Focus on building your beast-guarding space. It's the most important thing for you now," Bai Chengzhi added, his voice carrying authority.
Bai Zian repeatedly said yes, dismissed the topic, and started to eat breakfast.
Soon, the family finished breakfast.
"Come on, Xiao An. We should head to the Awakening Hall," Bai Jingchong said, leading the way.
At this time, the driver of the City Lord's Mansion was waiting outside the villa early.
Bai Zian bid farewell to his parents and went to the Awakening Hall with his grandfather.
Soon, Bai Zian's grandfather and grandson came to the vicinity of the Awakening Square.
At this time, the square around the Awakening Hall has become waterlogged, and students are everywhere.
The principals of many middle schools brought their middle school students to the vicinity of the Awakening Square, and under the arrangement of the staff, they prepared to participate in the Awakening Ceremony in an orderly manner.
Of course, Bai Zian is no exception.
Although he is the grandson of the City Lord of Bailin City, he also needs to proceed in order.
Because the Kyushu Federation attaches great importance to the awakening ceremony and does not allow the slightest problem.
Even if he is the grandson of the city lord, if he deliberately disturbs the awakening ceremony, he will not be able to eat and walk around.
Therefore, after saying goodbye to Mr. Bai Jingchong, Bai Zian returned to his school and prepared to participate in the awakening ceremony with his classmates.
"Bai Shaohao."
"Long time no see, Master Bai."
"Bai Shao hasn't come to school for a month, so he must be fully prepared."
When Bai Zian returned to the class, there were bursts of greetings from the surroundings.
The hustle and bustle of the highest middle school in Bailin City echoed with excitement as Bai Zian, though not portraying the typical young master role, stood out conspicuously due to his special identity and remarkable appearance. Being the grandson of Bai Jingchong, the lord of Bailin City, he naturally ranked at the pinnacle of this group of playboys, mainly composed of the descendants of generals and various dignitaries.
As Bai Zian made his entrance, his classmates naturally gravitated towards him, forming a small circle and offering enthusiastic greetings. Bai Zian responded with a smile and a nod, brushing off the unspoken reason for his month-long absence from school — a period he utilized to familiarize himself with beast-fighting talents.
"Brother An, you're finally here. I haven't seen you for a month. I almost miss you," greeted a chubby figure pushing through the crowd towards Bai Zian.
"Fatty Yuan, can you stop talking to me in such a resentful tone? People who don't know might think we have a leg," Bai Zian chuckled, addressing his number one younger brother, Yuan Potian.
Meanwhile, a cold voice cut through the air as a tall, red-haired young woman, Feng Qianyu, approached Bai Zian, surrounded by a group of students. The two exchanged confident words about an ongoing bet regarding their awakened talents.
"Don't worry, little phoenix, this bet is still valid. I'm looking forward to it. If you lose and fulfill the bet, don't cry," Bai Zian teased, his eyes reflecting a hint of amusement.
After the brief exchange, Feng Qianyu, along with her followers, returned to their class. Fatty Yuan, sharing some inside information, warned Bai Zian about Feng Qianyu's preparations, suggesting that the Feng family had obtained a special treasure to enhance awakening talents.
"The Feng family has a special origin and profound background. There are some special methods, but it is a normal thing. It doesn't matter," Bai Zian reassured, his confidence undeterred.
The scene shifted to the Awakening Square's high platform, where Bai Jingchong, Bai Zian's grandfather and the lord of Bailin City, addressed the students, creating a warm and respectful atmosphere. Bai Zian, unfazed by the display, had witnessed such scenes many times.
After Bai Jingchong's speech, the long-anticipated awakening ceremony began, enveloping the Awakening Hall in the divine power of the Awakening God Stone. Middle school candidates entered in batches, and Bai Zian, led by the staff, entered the Hall of Awakening. As he sat cross-legged, absorbing the awakening energy to build his beast-defense space, an unexpected change occurred.
