LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 1 Lord’s Mark, Awakening Successful
"Classmates, three years of high school are coming to an end."
"Next, you will undergo the most important awakening ceremony."
"If there is a lucky person who successfully awakens the Lord's Mark, he or she will be exempted from the college entrance examination and will be admitted to the top academy of sciences in our country."
"When the time comes, you can go to the Land of Redemption, become one of the lords, and win glory for the country."
"Now, each class should line up and enter the Awakening Hall in an orderly manner!"
On the high platform, the principal's speech was particularly passionate.
The students, who were in their prime years, all looked flushed and wanted to rush into the hall immediately and start the awakening ceremony.
Su Bai, who was standing at the back of the team, raised his head and looked at the majestic Awakening Hall in front of him, a trace of expectation quietly rising from the corner of his eyes.
Fifty years ago, a continent called the Land of Redemption suddenly came into contact with the earth.
Since then, the world has changed.
Everyone over the age of 18 can trigger the awakening of the lord's mark through the energy of the "Awakening Stone".
Of course, the lucky ones are in the minority.
Not everyone can successfully awaken.
According to statistics from the National Statistics Bureau, only one person in one hundred thousand people has the Lord's Mark.
In other words, out of the 1.4 billion people in the Dragon Kingdom, only about 14,000 have successfully awakened.
Of course, people of different age groups have different probabilities of awakening the Lord's Mark.
According to statistics, people between the ages of 18 and 28 have about a one percent chance of becoming a lord.
People over 50 years old have only a one in ten million chance of awakening the Lord's Mark.
"It's difficult to become a lord!"
Su Bai followed the team and sighed slightly while marching towards the Awakening Hall.
The head teacher, Zhang Tao, strode back and forth to inspect the status of the students.
"Students, it's our class's turn soon."
"Don't be nervous, everyone, calm down and treat it as an ordinary test."
"Success is good, but even if awakening fails, we can still contribute to our motherland in all fields of society."
After saying this, the students' nervousness calmed down a little.
However, Su Bai rolled his eyes and couldn't help but secretly vomit.
For a poor student like him, if he fails to awaken the lord's mark, the only way out in the future is to move bricks at a construction site.
As for building the motherland?
Sorry, there are countless outstanding talents in the Dragon Kingdom. How can I get Su Bai!
On this point, he is still somewhat self-aware.
For ordinary people, from ordinary families, if they want to get ahead, there is only one way.
That is to successfully awaken and become a lord.
In this way, the country will invest a lot of resources in various aspects of cultivation.
Of course, the country’s huge expenditure does not mean that there is too much money to spend.
When the lord comes to the Land of Redemption, he will receive a Territory Stone.
After unfolding, a territory will automatically be formed.
In the territory, you can build buildings and recruit soldiers, and then you can go out to fight, expand the territory, and even dominate one area.
The Land of Redemption is filled with all kinds of crises, but there are also endless opportunities.
It is also very possible to become a god or a saint.
The achievements and goals achieved by the lord in the Land of Redemption can provide varying degrees of rewards to the country where the lord is located.
For example, improving the national destiny, increasing the life span of all people, unlocking high-end technology, etc.
Ten years ago, a lord with great luck appeared in the United States. He fell into an abyss. Not only did he not die, but he also obtained an artifact.
Therefore, the national destiny of the United States has directly accelerated by 20%.
This made the senior officials of Longguo a little anxious. However, luck is such an elusive thing.
Fortunately, the Dragon Kingdom has a large population base and the number of awakened lords is also larger.
In general, although the overall strength is not as good as that of the United States, it can still reach 60% of its combat power.
This is why the country will provide special training and comprehensive support and help to those who awaken the Lord's Mark.
After all, lords and countries complement and influence each other.
Just when Su Bai was uneasy and thinking wildly, the voice of head teacher Zhang Tao rang in his ears.
"Students, it's our class's turn. Follow the teacher and enter the Awakening Hall in an orderly manner."
As soon as these words came out, people immediately became excited.
Everyone is gearing up and confident, and they are bound to awaken the lord's mark.
Su Bai followed the team and strode into the Awakening Hall.
In the center, a colorful jade stone with a diameter of five meters is suspended in mid-air.
"Students, listen to me read your names, go up one by one, walk up the stairs on the right to the platform, press the awakening stone with your hands, hold it for three seconds, and then release it."
Zhang Tao, the head teacher, was very meticulous and said it three times until it reached the ears of all students.
Then, he walked onto the platform, holding the roster in his hand, and shouted: "Wang Huai!"
"To!"
Wang Huai responded and trotted to the platform.
While he stretched out his hand to press the energy stone, a burst of intense anticipation burst out in his eyes.
one second.
two seconds.
three seconds.
There is no change in the energy stone.
Wang Huai refused to give up and kept pressing on with his hands.
Four seconds.
Five seconds.
Six seconds.
There is still no change in the power stone.
"Okay, come down, Wang Huai, the awakening failed."
Zhang Tao, the head teacher, shook his head, picked up the roster, and put a cross behind Wang Huai's name.
Wang Huai was devastated, his eyes were dull, and his face was full of despair.
Then, Zhang Tao continued to call names.
The students came up one after another, but there was probably no reaction at all when measuring the stone.
"Zhao Meifang, awakening failed."
"Zhang Jiasheng, awakening failed."
"Li Ke, the awakening failed."
……
Half of the students in succession ended in failure.
This made Su Bai's heart suddenly rise to his throat.
next second.
The head teacher Zhang Tao's voice sounded.
"Su Bai!"
Hearing his name, Su Bai took a deep breath, then walked forward and quickly came to the platform.
Stretch out your hand and press the energy stone.
one second.
two seconds.
three seconds.
Why is there no response? Could it be that the awakening failed?
Su Bai became frustrated instantly.
However, in the next moment, a sudden change occurred.
The awakening stone trembled violently.
Immediately afterwards, a strong colorful light burst out from it.
The entire Awakening Hall was shrouded in this light.
The students on the field were stunned and speechless.
Without exception, everyone's eyes were filled with strong envy.
Zhang Tao, the head teacher, rubbed his eyes and felt that the blood in his body froze in an instant, making him unable to move.
"Only those who have awakened the mark of a high-level lord can manifest such a vision. Su Bai, this kid, is so lucky."
The lord's mark is divided into seven levels: ordinary, excellent, refined, epic, legend, myth, and ultimate myth.
The higher you go, the greater the potential and the stronger the development potential.
Naturally, the strength will be stronger.
"Oh my god, such a brilliant awakening vision must be a high-quality lord's mark."
"Our class is so promising, we can actually have such a powerful person."
"Su Bai's luck is so good."
"Uuuuuuuuah, why doesn't Lady Luck patronize me?"
The students were whispering to each other, talking a lot, and looking extremely excited.
Finally, the light dissipated.
Above the Awakening Stone, three lines of golden characters appeared out of thin air.
