“Dong! Dong! Dong…”

The bell chimed and sunlight shone across the academy.

However, this did not disturb the students’ beautiful dreams.

In fact, many students had already gotten up half an hour ago to get ready.

They either sat quietly, ran, or did push-ups.

No matter what method they used, it was to ease their tension.

After all, the Talent Awakening Ceremony, which determined the upper limit of their martial arts career, was too important. There was no way to ignore it.

On the contrary, Scott was very relaxed. Just now, he had eaten a lot in the restaurant and seemed to have no psychological burden at all.

On the other hand, his roommate, Yinyang, was extremely nervous. If Scott hadn’t comforted him, he probably wouldn’t have been able to eat half a piece of bread.

“Students! The academy is ready. Follow me!”

All the students stood up at the same time and followed him.

Scott wasn’t unhurried. He walked to the back with a piece of bread in his mouth and Yinyang.

When he arrived at the field, Scott realized that there were more students in this academy than he had imagined. There were at least two thousand of them!

The people who looked like teachers also changed into the same clothes as the students.

They surrounded the podium with serious expressions, as if they were guarding the object covered by the cloth.

Kang Lin was among them, and instructor Dong Jie’s outfit was the most special. He was dressed as a priest.

“I wonder what kind of talent these newcomers will awaken!”

“Who cares what they awaken? They’re no match for me anyway.”

“How annoying. They want us to witness it and interrupt my practice time!”

“This is the rule. Bear with it.”

The academy’s senior students all stared at the freshmen in the middle of the field with provocative gazes.

The 30-person freshman phalanx appeared to be alone.

Just as they were bickering, a person appeared and instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

“It’s Dean Richmond!”

“He’s already 70 years old, yet he’s still so energetic!”

“The strongest person in the Academy’s History!”

“Of course! He’s a top-notch powerhouse! His physical fitness is outstanding!”

After hearing the words of a few senior students, Scott curiously sized up the old man who was walking towards him.

It was not the first time he had seen this man named Richmond.

When he had just time travelled, he had seen his interview on the big screen at the entrance of the department store. He seemed to be a very popular figure in society.

Although Richmond had no hair, his white beard was very distinctive, like a braid stuck to his chin.

After walking to the podium in front of the freshmen, Richmond looked around and said, “fellow children! Thank you for participating in this sacred moment!”

Although he was very old, this old man still straightened his back and was portrayed to be tall and sturdy. He did not look old at all.

However, he seemed to be an impatient person. Without saying anything, he arranged, “Kang Lin, you may begin!”

After receiving the order, the Director of the Enrollment, Kang Lin, respectfully nodded and took a few steps forward to remove the black cloth on the podium.

A burst of silver light instantly bloomed!

After about ten seconds, the dazzling light gradually faded away.

“What the hell is this thing?” Scott said in a bad mood after he rubbed his eyes

Yinyang, who was beside him, was very excited. He suppressed his voice and shouted, “Oh my God! I’ve finally seen the Crystal of God!”

As Scott was a little dazed, he patiently explained, “This is a divine item that suddenly appeared on earth! It’s most likely a gift from God! He can activate the talent and the Warrior’s Aura of every warrior! As a well-known high school, our academy also has a piece of it!”

Scott nodded his head, not fully understanding it.

“Alright! Those whose names have been read, come forward!” said teacher Dong Jie from the freshman class. He opened the book in his hand and read, “Zhang Tong!”

The person who was called was a fat man more than two meters tall. He swallowed his saliva and walked over.

Under Dong Jie’s guidance, he placed his hand on the small crystal.

“Don’t be nervous…” Dong Jie comforted him, took out a book and began to read.

Due to the distance, Scott couldn’t hear the specific content, but he could roughly guess that this was a blessing from God.

At the same time, all the teachers and students on the field were staring at the fatty, not saying a word.

About ten seconds later, the crystal direction had a reaction again!

Another silver light flashed!

And this time, it wasn’t the crystal that was shining, but Zhang Tong’s body!

Waves of silver light swam around his body, and even his eyes turned silver!

Such a miracle made Scott very surprised!

This was even more sci-fi than a sci-fi movie!

After another ten seconds, the silver light on his body gradually faded away.

Dong Jie seemed to have sensed something and said with a face full of joy, “Congratulations, child! Your talent is grade C+! Train well, and you will definitely achieve something! God bless you!”

As he said that, he drew a cross again, and did not forget to remind him, “remember, your talent can not be revealed.”

Then, he touched the student’s forehead. This was the end of the ceremony.

“Yes! Yes!” Zhang Tong nodded excitedly, raised his arms and returned to the group of freshmen who were cheering for him.

“Congratulations, Zhang Tong!”

“I’m going to work with you in the future!”

“What a nice talent level!”

“Hey! I should have stayed in the same room with him!”

The new students were both jealous and excited.

Scott didn’t think much of it and asked, “is C + very high? Why are you so happy? Then, how is this rating determined?”

Yinyang looked at him as if he was looking at a weirdo. “Of course! I heard that there are a lot of D and F grades in our Academy!” C+ is already very good! As for the grading principle, it is based on the size of a clergyman’s sensing energy. He doesn’t know what the students’ innate abilities are exactly.”

“I see…” Scott nodded. He realized that he still had a lot to learn. This also explained Teacher Dong Jie’s clergyman outfit today. It turned out that he was someone who served God.

He asked again, “then why can’t you tell others about your talent? As long as you do it, won’t people figure it out sooner or later?”

After wiping the sweat off his forehead, Yinyang explained, “That’s still better than telling others right away. Besides, many battles involve life and death. It’s crucial to keep it a secret to the best of your ability.”

Very soon, the next student also went forward and began his own ceremony.

When a similar situation ended, Dong Jie nodded and said, “That’s right, it’s a C grade talent!”

This student named Rogers was so happy that he jumped up! !

Even the senior students were shocked and said one after another.

“Oh my god! B grade? This is probably the highest awakening of talent in the past three years!”

“Damn it! The position of the Academy’s Overlord is about to change again!”

“It’s over, there’s a monster among the freshmen!”

“FUCK! We have to think of a way to get close to him!”

Seeing that the talent ratings of the two freshmen were not bad, Headmaster Richmond looked at his subordinate beside him and praised, “Kang Lin, the children you chose are all not bad! They are very talented!”

“For the future of mankind, I am duty-bound…” At this moment, Kang Lin did not look as cheerful as before. He responded to the Headmaster’s words very seriously and deliberately sized up Scott in the crowd, as if he was looking forward to his talent.

“Next, Li Yinyang!”

After being called, the nervous Li Yinyang walked out with the same hand!

“Child, don’t be nervous!” Dong Jie took a few steps forward and began to comfort this nervous student.

After the silver light of the ceremony, Yinyang’s previously nervous expression disappeared and he became calm.

A smile appeared on Dong Jie’s face after a moment of thinking.

“D+ ! Not Bad! Remember to keep your talent a secret.”

“Thank you for your hard work…” Yinyang’s tone was calm as he returned to his seat amidst the cheers of everyone.

Only Scott could tell that he was not very happy.

“Scott!”

Scott, who was not called yet, was not nervous and walked over in a few steps.

“I heard that Kang Lin brought this red haired fellow from Hongfeng District…”

“That place is filled with gangs. Could he be a villain?”

“It’s hard to say. His red hair might have been dyed.”

“He looks pretty good. I wonder what level of talent he has…”

“Looking at his skinny appearance, he’s at most grade F!”

Dong Jie looked at this young man and smiled, “there’s no need to be nervous. Please accept the gift God has given you.”

“With pleasure!” Scott, who had nothing to lose, was not nervous at all. He put his right hand on the crystal just like his former classmate.

“Almighty God, please give your child the power to help us walk on the righteous path to complete our great cause…” As Dong Jie’s prayer began, the crystal also began to respond.

In an instant, Scott felt a beam of light wrapping around him! His eyes turned bright!

Other than Dong Jie’s prayer, he could only hear a female voice that sounded like an angel!

“Talent awakening…”

Scott could not identify the source of this voice, and he could only feel disbelief in his heart!

Just as his emotions were surging, the angel-like female sounded again, “talent awakening! Modify the date of all creation!”

Scott was very sure that he did not hear wrongly!

It was indeed to “modify the date of all creation”!

This… how should this be used? !

While he was inexplicably excited, the silver light had already faded!

The scene in front of him had already changed back to the previous scene.

But what was different was that there was no smile on Dong Jie’s face. Instead, there was a strange expression.

“Teacher… my talent is?”

Dong Jie knew that he was asking about his talent’s level.

But he did not say anything!

Because he did not know how to grade Scott’s talent!

He could not determine whether the energy that had descended on Scott’s body was big or small!

If he categorised it as small, it seemed to cover everything!

If he categorised it as big, it was not that strong!

There was no way to properly define this talent grade regardless of which church’s standard he used!

For a moment, he stood rooted to the spot!
