Wishing everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
Petty? That could indeed be troublesome. Before Lin Feng left, Du You had seen that chilly gaze glance at Lao Er and also sweep over himself. He couldn't be that unlucky, could he?
Since coming to this world, there had been no transmigrator benefits, no "golden finger," yet somehow he had inherited the transmigrator's talent for making enemies. He had always kept a low profile, right? It was just that he had spoken up once for Lao Er, that couldn't be it.
Du You shook his head. There was no point in regretting now, and even if he were to do it all over again, he would still make the same choice. His brothers from the dormitory, how could he stand by and watch one of them get into trouble right before his eyes and do nothing?
"That wimp dares to make trouble for me? When the time comes, he will die without knowing how," Lao Er said as he waved his fist, seemingly not afraid of Lin Feng at all.
As they were discussing, an old man with white hair suddenly appeared on the high platform of the Martial Arts Arena. That's right, appeared, as if he hadn't walked up there step by step.
"Students, quiet down and line up, the Law Formalization ceremony is about to start. Our Law has not come easily; it is the precious legacy left to us by our predecessors with their lives. So..."
The old man had just gotten on stage and started talking non-stop. Du You looked up and sighed inwardly. "Principal, you're still the same, no matter which world we're in, you're always so talkative."
Sure enough, the elder was their principal from Jiao Da Affiliated No. 2 Middle School. Normally it was rare to see him, but whenever there was a speech to give, he would appear, and he would talk for hours without any repeats. Other institutions would have several leaders take turns speaking, but in their school, it was always just the principal taking care of it, leaving no chance for other leaders to speak.
Hence, in their school, other leaders were typically very concise in their speeches, otherwise, there wouldn't be enough time.
Just as he had guessed, the principal started talking for two hours straight. If it wasn't for the vice-principal reminding him, he might have gone on for another two hours; if it continued like that, there simply wouldn't be enough time.
Having finally pulled the principal away, the vice-principal hurriedly said, "Class teachers, maintain good order, no chaos. Remember, you only have one day's time in the Law Formalized Derived World. One day inside, a minute outside, so no need for any additional psychological burden. Prepare all the necessary items and don't bring what you shouldn't."
"The vice-principal's speech is still so concise and clear," said Lao Er.
At this moment, Lao Si was hiding behind Lao Er, probably trying to avoid Xiao Yun again. Who knew what would become of them in the future.
"Is this the process of Law Formalization? It looks pretty simple," said Du You as he watched person after person line up and enter the cultivation pods, which then closed from the outside. No one could see what was happening inside.
After someone entered, light spots began to gather and then suddenly accelerated in their flow. A minute later, when the outburst stopped, the people inside would come out, though most looked dejected.
There were ten people in each batch, but not every batch would have someone successfully complete Law Formalization and become an Awakener.
Roughly estimating, the success rate was indeed about one in ten. Of the rest, less than half became Semi-Awakened. Those who successfully became Awakeners had a complete white halo around them that lingered.
Those who became Semi-Awakened had incomplete and dim halos.
The others, who failed, had nothing. Among these people, some were calm, while others started wailing immediately after coming out. These individuals, whose mental state collapsed, would immediately be escorted out by security.
The atmosphere in the Martial Arts Arena gradually became tense.
"Ah, what kind of mentality is this? To collapse just like that," Lao Er said with disdain.
Du You focused on the front, where another batch was entering. When the cultivation pods opened, one student emerged with a bright white halo, extremely conspicuous among the rest.
"Eh, isn't that Xi Qianxue? She actually succeeded," Du You said, surprised, looking at Lao Er.
Lao Er rolled his eyes, "It's just a law, not official statistics. Now that she's become an Awakener, you're even less likely to have a chance."
"When did I say I wanted to pursue her?" Du You rolled his eyes in annoyance. That was a baseless accusation.
Just looking at Lao Er's expression, it was clear he didn't believe him, and Du You couldn't be bothered to explain.
"It's almost our turn, get ready," Du You said, checking the large backpack he had brought. Whatever he had bought, whether useful or not, he'd bring along, as none of it was against the rules.
Entering the world of Law Formalization, one could not carry high-tech products or weapons exceeding certain specifications; these were all prohibited. Naturally, Du You wouldn't make such a mistake with the items he had purchased.
"Haha, Qianxue is worthy of being the top female student; not only is she beautiful, but she's also capable. She's a match for this young master," a bothersome voice came from not far away. Lin Feng spoke while giving Lao Er a sidelong glance, seemingly showing off his status on purpose.
This behavior made Du You a bit worried. With such pettiness, he really had to be careful.
"Weakling, I'm waiting for you to cause trouble," Lao Er immediately spat back, as if fighting Lin Feng through the air.
Unknowingly, one might have thought Lao Er was the transmigrator, with his fearless attitude, so typical of one. Could it be that he was the real transmigrator, or just a side character?
As he thought this, it was their batch's turn. "Don't daydream, hurry and get in."
"Do we need to be checked?" At the front of the cultivation pod, there was an inspector holding a metal rod.
"Go ahead and check; you don't want to bring anything wrong," the big boss said, adjusting his glasses.
"Get out of the way with that toad style, I'm not an ignorant young master," Lin Feng followed closely behind, ending up in the same batch as them.
Thankfully, he wasn't from their class; otherwise, the class atmosphere would have been foul long ago.
The reception staff wasn't angry, continuing to scan them with the metal rod while explaining things to be aware of. It turned out that this thing wasn't called a cultivation pod but rather the World Boat, a tool for transporting people to other worlds, specially designed for completing Law Formalization.
Soon, several people had been checked and then entered the immense World Boat. As it slowly closed, everything around seemed to drift far away from them.
