Chapter 79 Fighting spirit, divine power blessing
Jade Empire.
Flame Province Demonic Martial Arts Academy.
As one of the regions adjacent to the Qingyuan Province, the Flame Province ranks among the top in the empire in terms of strength, and it is named after its admiration for flames.
And today.
It was the day of the annual awakening ceremony for new students at the largest academy in the Lieyan Province, the Demonic Martial Arts Academy.
Countless carriages from noble families came from all over the country and drove on the road to the Magic Martial Arts Academy, adding an extra level of excitement to the already blazing Flame Province.
"Frank, take this."
In a carriage with a fire element sign, Viscount Garden carefully took out an exquisite red wooden box and handed it to Frank Garden, his eldest son.
"Father, what is this?"
Frank looks to be about fifteen years old. Although he is underage, he has the maturity and stability expected of a noble family.
With his handsome and upright figure and long fiery red hair, coupled with the red sword at his waist, he is definitely the fantasy object of countless young girls.
"This is something I went to Raven Town in person and exchanged with Lord Thomas. It will help your flame fighting spirit. You should find a chance to eat it during the assessment."
"Okay, thank you father."
Frank has been studying sword skills in the Flame Province recently. He doesn't know what happened in Raven Town, so he just accepted the wooden box with suspicion.
Open it and take a look.
A red mushroom with a small gap came into view.
All of a sudden.
The raging breath of flames spurted out and filled the entire interior of the carriage, as if the air around it was on fire.
"What a strong breath of fire!"
Frank was completely stunned.
Even the things his mentor, the sixth-level great swordsman Fire Sword Eggers, gave him to enhance his fire perception were not as strong as the mushroom in front of him.
"Father, this is too precious!"
"Take it."
The Viscount said with a gentle smile: "As long as you can successfully pass the awakening ceremony, this thing is completely worth it."
The awakening of a warrior is different from that of a magician.
A magician needs to sense the magic elements floating in the air and successfully cast a spell to get started.
Warriors, on the other hand, need to communicate with the gods, obtain the blessing of divine power from a certain god or demigod, and attach it to the physical body before they can be considered as entry-level.
For example, Frank's teacher, the Fire Sword Eggers, received the divine blessing of a fire demigod, which allowed his fighting spirit to turn into flames and attach to the weapon, hence his famous name of "Fire Sword".
Although Frank has been tested to have fire affinity, he has not awakened his fighting spirit, so he is naturally a little uneasy.
But when he saw the red mushroom in his hand, he suddenly became confident.
"Thank you father, I will definitely awaken successfully!"
"Okay, I'm relieved with your words."
The Viscount smiled and nodded.
Opening the curtains and looking outside, a magnificent college building came into view.
Everywhere you look, there are horse-drawn carriages coming and going.
One by one, energetic young men and women entered the academy accompanied by their elders, talking about the awakening ceremony along the way. The whole scene was extremely heated.
After setting up the carriage, Frank followed his father and joined the crowd. He greeted several nobles he met on the road, chatted and laughed, and entered the awakening venue.
At this time, the venue was full of people.
Everyone looked around, looking at the groups of boys and girls gathered on the central field, and the voices of cheering and cheering could not be heard.
"Okay, you go over first, I will watch from the stage and say hello to the elders of other families for me."
"Then I'll leave first, Father."
Frank said, then turned around and entered the venue, joining the familiar aristocratic children.
The nobles who were still talking in low voices immediately gathered around him when they saw his appearance.
"Frank, you're finally here."
"I heard that you have been learning swordsmanship from Mr. Eggers recently. You should be sure of your awakening this time, right?"
"Looking at what you said, Mr. Eggers has received the blessing of a flame demigod. Of course, his students will not be any worse."
"I'm not asking casually. After all, not everyone can successfully communicate with gods."
The compatibility of Dou Qi is very high.
Even if you can't get the blessing of divine power, you can still practice.
But they knew that those who received the blessing of divine power, even the weakest demigods, could realize an extra talent and widen the gap between them and ordinary people.
Just like the Fire Sword Eggers.
It is precisely because of the flame fighting spirit that he is far ahead of other swordsmen, even among the same level, he is still in the middle and upper reaches.
Frank knew the difficulty of this. He tightened the space ring on his hand and said with a smile: "Awakening talent depends entirely on personal luck. I am not sure that it will succeed. The ceremony is about to start, so go ahead."
After that, he walked towards the center of the field.
The various screams coming from the stage were still echoing in my ears.
"Ahh! Master Owen is so handsome!"
"Master Edward, I love you!!"
"Come on, sister Feileena! We will always support you!"
"No, I'm going to get wet down there..."
At the annual awakening ceremony, there are always some talented people who are well-known in the province. Not only are they outstanding in appearance, but they also show early on amazing talents that are far beyond their peers.
Just came out.
It triggered a wave of screaming and roaring.
It was as if the protagonists in those popular stories instantly made other students look dull.
And Frank, who was not well-known, was naturally among them, becoming a foil for those geniuses.
"Tsk, what's so great about it."
"Isn't it just relying on the support of their fathers?"
Several students on the side looked unhappy, looking at the dazzling figures standing on the stage.
Frank didn't say anything, but he clenched his fists, with a hint of unwillingness.
He also hoped that it was himself who stood on the stage to bring glory to his father and family.
But his talent was not as good as these people. At a young age, he had already learned many advanced sword skills, and some even invited legendary heroes to be teachers.
His only chance to catch up.
Is the awakening ceremony!
"I hope what my father gave me is useful..."
Frank muttered in his heart, and a red wooden box appeared in his arms.
At this time.
The awakening ceremony also officially began with the passionate speech of the college tutor.
"Okay, everyone, follow the order of the team and enter the awakening array to try to awaken."
Accompanied by the instructor's shout, students came to the stage one after another and circulated their fighting spirit under the blessing of the array.
"Awakening failed, next one."
"Awakening failed, next one."
"Awakening failed, next one."
...
As expected.
More than a dozen students failed to successfully communicate with the gods, and the awakening rate was shockingly low.
Until the handsome young man named Edward came to the stage, the originally dim awakening array burst into dazzling light, and a violent gust of wind swept through the venue.
"Such a strong wind energy!"
"Look! The mark of divine power!"
"Edward has been blessed by divine power!"
Amid the exclamations of the people on the stage and the instructors, a green wind owl mark appeared on Edward's arm and merged with his body.
When he raised his hand, a breeze blew.
It made him light as the wind.
"This is... the awakening of the wind talent!"
"He received a response from the wind demigod!"
