Su Lie woke up, he saw himself in a room filled with several other people of both genders, he examined his fingers and nodded in contentment, around him were about 60 other people but they were sleeping. He walked to the only mirror in the large room before examining himself.
His previous skin which was rough had become much smoother and no longer had hair on it, his hair had changed from the previous black color to a less definite outline of red. His face became much more handsome and his features more defined, his height had even increased by an inch or so.
This was because his awakening had removed all the impurities from his body
After he was done admiring himself he noticed the others in the room had begun to wake up, he then went back to the ground, the people who had dumped them here had no regard for the new awakeners.
They had just awoken their elemental talent and then thrown aside like they weren't important.
Su Lie sighed, he opened his status screen and looked at the figures and numbers that displayed themselves.

Su Lie sighed after seeing his stats, it actually wasn't half-bad to have these kind of readings, the limit a human could reach without cultivation was 14. He wasn't from all those big families who gave their children early awakenings, high-quality elixirs and good cultivation manuals.
As expected the manual they had given him was thrash, it would take someone 3 years to leave the Body Strengthening Stage whereas a normal manual would take one year. The stages of cultivation for mortals was broad, after one advanced from the mortal realm to the immortal realm it would take years to make a breakthrough.
"I expected this, they won't give us any good manuals and that would force us to join the Guild and then we'll be forced to fight the incoming horde of monsters." Su Lie muttered to himself.
His father was one of the guards of the border of the town, and there were monsters who marched together. His father had told him what the town's elders planned, they couldn't directly force the new awakeneds to fight their war, they would join the town's guild and fight the war.
His family's hope was that he awakened the same element as his father, but his father awakened the water element while he had a dual-awakening.
His elements were fire and lightning, it was actually more of a scam and not taken seriously because everyone knew that lightning caused fire. There was no use for two elements if the original element already caused the latter.
Su Lie sighed, there was nothing he could do except look for an elemental scroll that would allow him to cultivate normally, not this trash that was given to them.
He looked around for his friend Li Chen, he checked the heads until he finally found him, Li Chen was looking around confused.
"Brother Chen, look over here!" He called out to Li Chen.
Li Chen saw him raising his hand and finally found him, he waved over grinning like an idiot until he finally came over.
"Brother Lie guess what? I awakened the darkness attribute! What did you awaken?" Li Chen said excitedly.
Su Lie smirked.
"I awakened the lightning and fire attributes."
However, contrary to what Su Lie was expecting Li chen was not amazed, he looked at him with a questioning face.
"You awakened both fire and lightning... but why the two, wouldn't one have been okay since the two basically do the same thing."
Su Lie's expression turned sour, he didn't expect Li Chen to catch up so fast.
"What is your thinking capability?" Su Lie questioned.
"10! What about yours?"
He said holding in a laugh.
Su Lie bit his lip, how could Li Chen have a higher thinking capability than him?
"By the way which cultivation manual did you get?" Su Lie asked trying to change the topic.
"I got the basic beginner's cultivation manual, did you get the same thing?"
Su Lie nodded his head in affirmation, getting such a low-grade manual when you were expected to represent your town was like giving someone a punch and expecting him to give you money.
"Don't worry, the guild is looking for new members so when we join we'll get better manuals. No need to use this trash!"
Su Lie smiled bitterly, he wasn't going to get a laugh if his brother died.
If anything he expected his dual-elements to be the cheat, the cheat a transmigrator gets when they're kicked out of their own world and forced to journey to another.
One morning he had woken up in a strange world in a child's body, he was the happiest person on the planet because he had just finished reading a transmigration manhua. After some days when he used every trick known to summon a system but it didn't work, until the mother of this body called him and explained to him that he would get a system after his awakening ceremony.
At first, he thought she knew that he was a transmigrator but it was actually normally to get a system.
He had trained and honed his body to the peak and now here he was awakened and about to go to war.
The children of higher status in the town would not be forced like them, their parents had already bribed the elders and gotten good cultivation manuals but he was from a middle-class family and couldn't do anything about this.
Trying to avert the topic Su Lie changed the topic and he and Li Chen chatted freely.
After a few more minutes everybody had awoken and now chatting with friends, the room began to get rowdy. Unfortunately there were no windows and the noise only caused heat to circulate. The only thng that brought cool, fresh air was a talisman positioned at the centre of the room.
Some minutes after intense heat began not many people paid attention to it but then the heat became unbearable, people bega pushing and fighting just to get to the center. And the people already at the centre were at risk of being overrun by several others.
Fist fights began after sometime because people wanted to enjoy the cool breeze, but the talisman suddenly teleported to the ceiling!
A lot of people were on the ground groaning, where all their efforts for nothing. Did nothing change after they fought their way to the centre.
Su Lie and Li Chen were at a corner discussing, when were they going to open the damn door for Christ sake. The worst part of everything was that the noise had not died down, it only increased.
"Brother Lie, when are they going to open the damn door!"
"I have no idea, maybe she does." Su Lie pointed to a young girl walking to various people that seemed to be telling them something.
However they all shook their heads in the negative and she continued asking.
She finally reached them and asked them a question, for Su Lie he felt that it was one of the most important questions he had been asked in his whole life.
"Would you boys like to cool down? I'm charging 1 bronze to cool each person down." She said.
Su Lie barely thought about it for two seconds before he agreed, the heat was sickening and the worst part was that the noise only got louder.
"Why not! What about you Li Chen?"
"I... sure." He flashed a smile at Su Lie and brought out two bronze coins from his pockets.
"You don't need to pay for me." Su Lie rejected.
Li Chen's family was had more money and higher paying jobs than his parents. But he didn't want to start depending on a friend, even if that friend was very close.
"Don't worry about it." With that he gave her the coins.
"Thanks for doing business with me!" She said excitedly before sitting down in the space between two of them.
Taking a closer look at her he noticed that she was actually more than she let on, she had a beautiful face coupled with blue hair. Her skin was healthy without hair but her most notable characteristics was that she had it.
Assets!!!
