Smack!
A chubby man with a round figure and a kind smile approached Ye Xuan and casually patted his shoulder.
"Well, this might be a bit tricky. My spiritual attribute is D-level ['Petrification'], and it's highly likely that I'll awaken a skill-based profession!"
"Ye Xuan, if I remember correctly, you should have an E-level spiritual attribute. Have you decided on a profession to switch to?"
The chubby man's name was Zhao Dakai, and he had a straightforward and amiable personality. He sat behind Ye Xuan.
"I haven't decided yet. I'll see how it goes!"
Ye Xuan replied softly, lowering his head and not saying much.
"Uh…" Zhao Dakai's mouth twitched upon seeing this.
Can you really just 'see how it goes'?
In the history of human awakening professions, the individual's level of spiritual attribute had long determined the category of their awakened profession.
For example, with his D-level 'Petrification' spiritual attribute, the best choice for him would be to awaken a skill-based professional.
Of course, if he was unlucky, there was also a possibility of awakening a life-based profession.
In comparison, Ye Xuan's spiritual attribute was even lower than his. Does this guy still fantasize about awakening a combat-based professional?
How is that possible? Unless this guy is the chosen one, it's absolutely impossible!
Seeing that Ye Xuan had no intention of saying more, Zhao Dakai felt bored and happily went to chat with the girl next to him.
After a while, the homeroom teacher led the students of Class 2 to the school's playground for the awakening ceremony.
Boom!
A mage dressed in a snow-white robe stood on the altar, emanating a terrifying pressure.
In the next second, the mage's gaze turned serious as he chanted an incantation. Slowly raising his staff, it was accompanied by a burst of powerful magic.
The magic array inscribed on the altar instantly lit up, and seven pillars of different colors shot up into the sky, radiating immense pressure.
At the same time, the mage took a step forward and solemnly said, "Next, the students whose names I call will step into the altar for the profession awakening ceremony!"
"The magic array within the altar will detect your spiritual attribute and determine your first profession upon awakening!"
"The first is Zhuge Hai!"
As the words fell, Zhuge Hai immediately stood up from the crowd, his face filled with nervousness and anxiety.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhuge Hai clenched his fists and walked into the altar with anticipation..
Boom!
As Zhu Ge Hai stepped into the altar, the magic array on the altar instantly lit up, and seven beams of light of different colors enveloped him, radiating brilliant light.
"It's starting, it's starting. What profession do you think Zhuge Hai will awaken?"
"Based on what we know so far, Zhuge Hai has decent talents in various aspects, and his awakened spiritual attribute is also D-level. There is a good chance he will become a combat-based professional!"
"I think so too. Otherwise, the academy wouldn't have let him be the first awakened student! It's definitely a prestigious role!"
As time passed, the magic array on the altar suddenly changed, and a brilliant red beam of light filled with a powerful flame aura burst forth.
At the same time, a mysterious rune with a radiant and profound light appeared above Zhuge Hai's head, enveloping his entire body and emitting a mysterious glow.
"It's actually a fire attribute power. Could it be that Zhu Ge Hai has awakened as a Fire Mage?"
"No… it's not a Fire Mage. The rune hanging above his head is a fire rune, which… is the rune of an Artificer, a skill-based profession!"
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone fell silent, their anxious expressions deepening.
In Class 4, Zhuge Hai was undoubtedly a top student. Although he couldn't compare to the talented students in the elite classes, he excelled in various aspects and possessed a D-level spiritual attribute.
If even such a talented student couldn't awaken a combat-based professional, then how could anyone else do it?
While everyone lamented, Zhuge Hai clenched his fists, his eyes turning red. He walked down from the altar in silence, his face devoid of the confidence he once had, his shoulders slumped.
The homeroom teacher of Class 4 hurriedly came over to comfort him.
Zhu Ge Hai had always been his favored student, and he didn't expect him to not awaken as a combat-based professional.
But fate had its way, and he could only offer words of consolation.
As time slowly passed, most of the academy's students went through the awakening ceremony.
Some wore smiles on their faces, while others looked dejected.
On the other side of the altar.
"Oh, Old Lin, how did the awakening go for your students? How many of them are combat-based professionals?"
The homeroom teacher of Class 1 stood up, smiling as he looked at Class 2.
His surname was Chen, and the class he led was an elite class in the academy.
"Only three!"
The homeroom teacher of Class 2 replied with an annoyed tone.
This guy must be here to show off!
"Just three? It seems like Class 2 isn't performing well this year. In our class, we have a total of six combat-based professionals! Old Lin, you need to put in more effort. The school leadership has high expectations for us!"
Chen squinted his eyes, feeling quite pleased with himself.
The two of them had never gotten along in the academy, and now that he had the chance to rub it in, he wouldn't let it pass.
Lin Fan also felt helpless. After all, the class led by Chen was an elite class, and almost all the students in the class were top students. How could he compete?
"Darn it!"
"If my students could awaken hidden professions, I'd like to see whether Chen Dahai could still be arrogant or not!"
Of course, these were just wishful thoughts. Combat-based professions were already extremely rare, let alone hidden professions within the combat-based category.
At the thought of this, Lin Fan couldn't help but smile wryly.
"The next one, Ye Xuan from Class Two!"
As the words fell, Zhao Dakai in the crowd suddenly became excited and shouted.
"Teacher, look, Ye Xuan is about to awaken!"
Ye Xuan had an E-level spiritual attribute, while Zhao Dakai had a D-level attribute.
In comparison, the latter's attribute was slightly stronger than Ye Xuan's.
"You're making such a fuss!"
Seeing this, Lin Fan helplessly rubbed his forehead.
Since Ye Xuan and Zhao Dakai both had low spiritual attributes, they were practically invisible in the class, and he rarely paid much attention to them.
At this moment, Ye Xuan glanced at the altar, took a deep breath, and then stepped into the altar.
As the seven pillars of light enveloped him, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in Ye Xuan's mind.
"Ding! Profession awakening energy detected. System activating…"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully binding the Invincible Beast Control System. Beginner's gift pack has been automatically issued!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining an SSS-level spiritual attribute, Beast Tamer with Affinity for All Beasts!"
