"I... I'm, m... my talent only...' One Star fifth index!?'" Jie Peng had nothing, only this sentence over his lips; his eyes were blank, and even traces of tears flowed like an arc from his confused eyes.
"Young man! Don't lose hope; at least you're much better than many out there, and at least you would be able to fight for yourself; others... might not even have this chance."
Headmaster Wang went forward and patted his shoulder. His voice shook Jie Peng out of confusion, and his loose fists tightened.
'Yes, although my talent is not good, it's not like I can't take a stand! I, Jie Peng, will show everyone I may lack talent but not hard work.'
In an instant, his spirits lifted, and he looked towards the closed awakening rooms, especially the one with number 03.
After giving it a glance one last time, a ray of determination flashed through his eyes, and he looked towards the headmaster and said, "Headmaster, I'm sorry I just made a fool out of myself. If you please, share my talent report with my brother and let him tell my grandfather; I don't have the face to see him...."
"I plan to go to my mother's side; I think my brother is enough to make my grandfather proud."
Hearing what Jie Peng said made not only Headmaster Wang and others astounded but even let Li Yanyan askance.
Astounded, Headmaster Wang suddenly became serious and asked, "Young boy, are you serious? Don't have any impulsive ideas, although old man doesn't like the way your family handles things, but I don't think that your grandfather would be so strict with you."
"I know Jie Yuan, your grandfather, well; he's not that kind of person. At least, what are you thinking so hard about and getting emotional over just a result?"
"Headmaster, I'm not doing this on impulse. My father's temper is different, and he already clarified for me and my brother in advance that if any of us didn't get good results, we don't need to come back."
"Either we should leave for our uncle's home or move to our mother's family..." Jie Peng could not help but say in a low voice.
His eyes were darted red, and his lowered head let everyone feel that this young man barely kept his quavering voice stable.
Everyone could not help but take a deep breath; the most agitated ones were Li Yanyan and Teacher Wu.
Li Yanyan was just a young girl. She is the type of girl who is happy with less and has small dreams and fantasies.
Just now, when she got to know her talent, she felt she got way more than she expected, but now her happy mode is on the verge of collapse.
It's already getting difficult for her to control her tears.
Honestly, she doesn't like Jie Peng because he always creates scenes wherever he goes and likes to pick fights everywhere.
Yet at this moment, she feels not only uncomfortable but her heart is disturbed because of what Jie Peng said.
'What does it mean... if you don't have good talent, even your father would say to leave... how could a father say such harsh words to his son...' Li Yanyan was at a loss...
She felt her worldview had shattered.
She felt the love of her parents and the care they have for her, which is why she wanted to be a successful lady.
Today she feels how lucky she is; not only did she get good talent and start, but even her parents were so accommodating.
She always thought that these rich kids, most of whom are inconsiderate, never felt they took their life seriously.
In her opinion, the young men like Jie Peng and Ding Wei were immature; now it seems that she needs to change her perspective for them; at least she never saw this side of Jie Peng.
It's just when she was lost in her thoughts, Teacher Wu went forward and held Jie Peng's shoulder tightly and said, "Jie Peng, don't think too much; let me talk to your father. I think your father would give me some face."
"Moreover, I'll take you as my disciple; that would ensure that your family won't make things difficult for you!"
Jie Peng raised his head slightly; he looked into teacher Wu's determined eyes and felt a touch in his heart.
It's been a while; he felt there are people out there who could go to such lengths for a person like him.
Slightly shaking his head, Jie Peng wiped his face with his left arm and took a deep breath.
"Thank you, Teacher Wu, Headmaster Wang... I know you are doing it for my good, but I don't want to face my father like this."
"At least I want to earn back my self-respect with my own efforts; moreover, there is nothing more left to stay here... I should be going."
As he said this, Jie Peng respectfully clasped his hands toward Teacher Wu and Headmaster Wang and left the room without saying anything more.
No one stopped him, although Li Yanyan wanted to say something; it's just she couldn't help but muster her courage.
All she could do was look at the back of the young boy. She felt as if she saw a young boy grow into a young man.
Let alone her, even teacher Wu and headmaster Wang felt the same and stood there quietly seeing his disappearing back.
Even Professor Kaio couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "Sigh, it's been years since the old man saw such a resolute boy; it's the second time old man felt emotional in a few years."
Just as everyone was in a trance and trying to overcome such a sudden turn of events, two green lights lit up simultaneously, and from room number 13 and 18, two young silhouettes went out.
Professor Kaio and others quickly looked towards them and went out of the glass room.
The only person left was Li Yanyan, who was still sitting in a daze.
Meanwhile, Professor Kaio went straight to the research room, and Headmaster Wang and Teacher Wu went towards the young boy and girl.
"You two, how are you feeling? Did you feel anything uncomfortable?" Teacher Wu went a step forward and asked in a concerned tone.
While the headmaster walked towards them at a slow pace.
He was still somewhat not feeling good about what happened with Jie Peng.
Isn't he a very emotional person, rather as he was a retired general, there are not many things that could waver him.
But Jie Peng was a student of Azure Cloud Academy, and especially one of the elite students.
Otherwise, how would he and other teachers choose him for the first batch?
'It seems like I have to visit an old friend and beat some sense into a certain person's head...' Wang Renshu could not help but mutter in his head as his cloudy, unclear face turned back to normal.
As headmaster Wang was thinking, he heard Lin Wu saying the words of praise, which attracted his attention.
"What happened, Xiao Wu!?" Headmaster Wang went forward hastily and asked aloud.
"Headmaster!" Both young students were startled for a second but quickly greeted Wang Renshu.
What made Wang Renshu curious was that he could see intense excitement on their faces.
Suddenly a thought struck him, 'Did both of them awaken as Imperial Spirit Masters!'
Just the thought came; he asked anxiously as a hint of excitement could be seen within his eyes, "Did you brats both awaken as Imperial Spirit Masters!?"
Teacher Wu, who was standing next to him, could not help but to roll his eyes.
How could such a good thing happen, but indeed the results of these two are not bad.
"No, and Yes..." Teacher Wu couldn't help but blurt it out.
"Huh...!? What do you mean, Xiao Wu?"
"Headmaster Wang, it's like this: the girl Jin Tao was lucky and the first to be awakened as the Imperial Spirit Master, while Ding Wei has not awakened as the Imperial Spirit Master."
"But he was fortunate enough to awaken as a supernatural spirit warrior!" As teacher Wu said, his voice raised a few points.
Although he's trying to remain calm, still his mood is exhilarated after all.
"Headmaster Wang, congratulations! Your two students are not bad; it's worth celebrating..." Professor Kaio came over with a beaming smile on his face.
"Old Kiao, quickly tell the old man about the final results of these brats!"
Just as Headmaster Wang said such words, Teacher Wu, Ding Wei, and Jin Tao looked expectantly toward the professor at the same time.
Professor Kaio, this time slightly pulling a few wisps from his beard, smiled.
He looked towards the young boy and girl and said, "First of all, Jin Tao, little girl, congratulations! You are the first from this batch to awaken as an Imperial Spirit Master."
"Your talent index is 'One Star Ninth Index,' which almost concludes that if you are given good resources, at least you'll have your name in Yangwu City's elite talent."
"As for which kind of affinity you have in regards to Imperial Spirits, it needs to be explored via a profound visualizing crystal. For this, you would need to make a trip to the City-lord mansion with the Headmaster later."
"On the other hand, Ding Wei, you are also the first student in the first batch to awaken as a supernatural spirit warrior."
"As per details, your talent index is 'One Star Eighth index'; moreover, the supernatural ability you have awakened is related to the water attribute. Both of you have a great future ahead."
"Huh... Hahaha! Good, Good! It's worth it; it's too worth it. Unexpectedly, there is an Imperial Spirit Master; even a Supernatural Spirit Warrior is born. Great!" Wang Renshu was stunned for a second, but the next instant a hearty laughter broke out; even his previous cloudy mood washed away with such good news.
"Indeed, it's great news; I never expected we'd gain such talents today!" Teacher Wu also nodded his head as a gratified smile hung on his face.
As a matter of fact, Imperial Spirit Masters are at the top of the strength and fame hierarchy.
No need to say more about them; the talent division of Imperial Spirit Master is also the same as that of how it is calculated for Spirit Warriors or Supernatural Spirit Warriors.
The only difference is one is measured according to the physical potential and attribute affinity while the latter is measured in regards to their awakened Imperial Spirit Seal.
Imperial Spirit Seal is what made Imperial Spirit Masters different from Supernatural Spirit Warriors or Spirit Warriors.
This Imperial Spirit Seal is the final product of a person's mental energy, profound spirit energy, and physical potential assimilation.
The Supernatural Spirit Warriors are born after their mental energy and physical potential assimilate with external profound spirit energy to produce a byproduct, which is awakened supernatural ability.
Honestly, the rarity of a supernatural spirit warrior is slightly higher than that of an Imperial Spirit Master.
Moreover, each supernatural spirit warrior awakens an ability that is very compatible with their body and spirit.
What's more, each supernatural spirit warrior has a unique ability that is exclusive to themselves.
Let's say two spirit warriors awakened the supernatural ability of fireball; both would have different growth potential, different ways to wield it, and distinct differentiation while being displayed by their user.
Unlike the Imperial Spirit Master, who needs to visualize via a profound visualizing crystal to understand their specific affinity, supernatural spirit warriors are born with the understanding of their abilities and how to display them; it's like an instinctive reaction for them.
Naturally, supernatural abilities are not endlessly powerful.
It's totally dependent on supernatural spirit warriors on how they improve and grow their abilities.
Both Jin Tao and Ding Wei looked at each other while a flash of excitement flashed through their eyes.
They are indeed lucky. Moreover, both felt they had to be thankful to the academy for providing the awakening potion. It's because of this they smoothly crossed the last step as well.
"Ahem... don't just stand there, silly; let's go to the glass room. Your classmate is already waiting there. Oh, by the way, Ding Wei, what kind of supernatural ability have you awakened?" Teacher Wu, as he pointed everyone to move to the glass room, suddenly paused his steps and asked Ding Wei.
