Flame Country Alliance
Yandong Province
Jiaying City
Shen Mountain Middle School
Grade 12 Class 24
Ye Bai was daydreaming as he gazed out the window, watching the little blue crows chirping away.
He had been reincarnated here and worked tirelessly every day, finally enduring until the awakening ceremony.
As long as he could awaken, he could reach the pinnacle of life, with a beautiful wife in his arms.
The homeroom teacher, Zhang Lingxue, came up holding the heavy Stone of Awakening.
This woman, called the Dream Snow by the boys of Class 24, was in the prime of her youth, yet was the youngest professor in the history of the Flame Country Alliance.
Her research on the Hundred-Change Silkworm evolved it into the Light Goddess Butterfly, winning the pet beast grand prize of the Flame Country Alliance.
The Hundred-Change Silkworm was originally called the White Jade Silkworm, cute and chubby, but after Zhang Lingxue achieved results in her research, it was renamed to Hundred-Change Silkworm.
It is well known that the usual evolutionary path of the Hundred-Change Silkworm is only the Gray Poison Moth, covered all over with various scales.
Once caught in the scales of the Gray Poison Moth, one would fall into various negative states.
Every year, countless people are hospitalized because of contact with the scales of the Gray Poison Moth.
The evolutionary condition of the Hundred-Change Silkworm is simple, as long as it consumes enough food, it can evolve into the Gray Poison Moth.
Zhang Lingxue believed the evolution cycle of insect pet beasts to be short and diverse.
She selected over a hundred insect-type pet beasts for genetic testing, finding the Hundred-Change Silkworm's genes to be unstable, with higher plasticity.
Therefore, she specially selected a pet beast egg of excellent quality of the Hundred-Change Silkworm, nurturing it from a young age, using Tier Four resources, the Stone of Light, to successfully evolve it into the Light Goddess Butterfly.
With her research published, more and more researchers focused their attention on the Hundred-Change Silkworm.
Soon other evolutionary paths for the Hundred-Change Silkworm were also discovered.
For example, there's the Water Element Illusory Water Butterfly, the Fire Element Flame Butterfly, and the Wood Element Wood Pattern Butterfly.
Resources are classified from Tier One to Tier Nine.
Talent is also derived from this ranking.
At the peak of her fame, she came to teach at Shen Mountain Middle School.
Shen Mountain Middle School ranks in the top ten in Yandong Province, rich in teaching resources, and has its exclusive Pet Beast Secret Realm.
The principal of Shen Mountain Middle School, Liu Hang, even specifically allocated an area for Zhang Lingxue's research.
Zhang Lingxue placed the Stone of Awakening on the podium.
"Class, today is the awakening ceremony, also the most important event in our lives."
"This Stone of Awakening can assist you in awakening your Pet Beast Space and talent."
"Those who can awaken the Pet Beast Space will surely awaken their talent."
"Though talents vary in strength, each has its own merits; there are no useless talents, only useless Pet Beast Masters."
"Talents are graded by rarity from high to low, divided into S, A, B, C, D, E, F, and so on."
"Those who can awaken a B-level or above talent are rare as phoenix feathers; in the history of the Flame Country Alliance, only a few have ever awakened an S-level talent."
"Alright, let's begin."
"Zhang Qiang."
A student who looked as thin as a matchstick went up and placed his hand on the Stone of Awakening.
The Stone of Awakening was emanating a milky white glow, looking very solid.
"Keep your mind calm and clear."
At this moment, white light began to emanate from Zhang Qiang's body.
After a short while, the white light dissipated from Zhang Qiang's face in dejection, indicating his awakening had failed.
Successful awakenings surround the person with an aura of awakening light, and the Stone of Awakening displays the talent awakened.
"Awakening failed, next, Hua Qingyi."
Zhang Qiang left the classroom in despair, knowing that failing to awaken meant he would remain an ordinary person for life.
From that moment on, he and the classmates he had been with day and night for the past two years were now people from two different worlds.
Zhang Qiang left the classroom dejectedly.
Zhang Lingxue continued to call names according to the attendance list.
Several students glowed with the light of awakening, indicating successful awakenings.
Zhang Lingxue kept diligently recording the students' talents.
"Water Affinity, D-level talent."
"Fire Enhancement, C-level talent."
"Plant Manipulation, C-level talent."
The number of those awakening grew rapidly, soon surpassing ten.
The room buzzed with excitement.
"Eye of Insight, A-level talent."
Zhang Lingxue spoke with pride, causing the whole class to be in an uproar.
"An A-level talent, in my lifetime, I actually witnessed someone awaken an A-level talent."
"The Eye of Insight, is that the talent that can see the evolutionary path of pet beasts?"
"Class president, that's awesome!"
Everyone buzzed with conversation, looking on with admiration at Li Weiyang, who stood there proudly.
Ye Bai looked over to see that the short-haired girl who awakened the A-level Eye of Insight talent, radiating like the fiery sun, was his deskmate Li Weiyang, known as the most beautiful school flower Shen Mountain Middle School ever had, and also the class president of Class 24.
"Ye Bai, it's your turn, keep your mind calm, don't panic."
Zhang Lingxue repeated these words.
Ye Bai unhurriedly stood up and walked to the edge of the Stone of Awakening, placing his hand on it.
A cool sensation rushed into his mind, making every cell in his body cheer joyfully.
A unique feeling flickered through his mind, he heard a crack, unaware of what had broken.
A unique space eight meters by eight meters by eight meters appeared in his mind.
At the same time, a white and gold light sphere appeared.
The white light dissipated from Ye Bai's whole body the next second, and the homeroom teacher Zhang Lingxue quickly recorded Ye Bai's talent—Unforgettable.
"D-level talent—Unforgettable."
Upon hearing the teacher's words, the surrounding classmates started whispering.
"Unforgettable, that's such a common talent, perfect for an ordinary person."
"Yeah, it's not even as good as Water Affinity or Fire Enhancement."
"Ye Bai has always topped exams, with this talent, he'll be even more impressive in exams."
"What's the use of scoring well, does he have any practical experience?"
At this moment, Ye Bai was stunned, for a panel suddenly appeared before him.
Lines of text started appearing on the panel.
Daily Intelligence Update.
[1: Those who awaken the Eye of Insight talent, their blood dripping on the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Jade can activate it, copying the Eye of Insight talent.]
[2. Li Weiyang, due to awakening the ultra-rare talent Eye of Insight, will face a shooting at five this afternoon, suffering severe bleeding and multiple fainting spells.]
[3. The Thousand-Change Silkworm is similar to the Hundred-Change Silkworm, the only difference being a faint jade glow at the center of its brow, with its exquisite insect silk valued at a tael of gold per tael of silk.]
[4. The long-haired Liu Hang, principal of Shen Mountain Middle School, is actually bald and has become obsessed in his efforts to treat baldness.]
[5. Among the pet beast resource packs distributed by Shen Mountain Middle School, the pack numbered thirty-eight has been mixed with a Tier Five resource, the Life Spirit Seed.]
The arrival of this golden finger made Ye Bai's heart surge, just the first piece of intelligence was immensely beneficial to him.
In this era where information resources reign supreme, possessing resources is akin to holding a goose that lays golden eggs.
Moreover, based on the daily refresh of intelligence, it can be inferred that this intelligence updates once per day.
However, Ye Bai was unclear of the specific time of refresh, requiring some testing to ascertain.
Aside from the control panel appearing, Ye Bai also sensed the newly opened eight-meter by eight-meter by eight-meter Pet Beast Space.
An ancient stone slab emitting a starry blue glow appeared, with nine slots, representing contract positions.
This was Ye Bai's Pet Beast Space, where one slot glowed radiantly, while the other eight slots were gray-white, only usable once Ye Bai's strength reached a certain level.
This indicated how many pet beasts Ye Bai could contract.
Generally, when a Pet Beast Master awakens, only one pet beast can be contracted, though occasionally some exceptionally gifted Pet Beast Masters can contract multiple pet beasts with a single contract position.
