#3 - Chapter 3 Provocation

"Children, you have completed one of the most important rituals in your life, and from now on, you are independent individuals.

The road ahead is still long. Regardless of whether the difference between the current result and what you imagined is large or small, since it is already destined, we must accept it, improve our professional level, and allow ourselves and our families to live a better life.

You are the future hope of the human race. Please be sure to protect yourselves and give full play to your potential. We believe that through the efforts of our generations, in the future, our human race will be able to walk freely in the outside world, instead of being confined to small bases.

Finally, I hope you all will be well in the future, year after year, peaceful and safe!"

After Commander No. 6 finished speaking, the hearts of those 18-year-old youths present, regardless of whether they were combat or life occupation, were filled with a high-spirited fighting spirit.

Shen Xingyan was naturally no exception. He had already begun to think about how to use the current conditions to make himself and his sister live a better life.

However, before the hundreds of thousands of people present could vent this fighting spirit, Commander No. 6's figure suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.

The external disasters are becoming more and more serious, and people like him must be on guard at the border at all times to prevent any unexpected events.

After all, past experiences have taught them that what they consider to be very small oversights often provide the best opportunity for disasters to launch sneak attacks, so they must be prevented!

If it weren't for the importance of this ritual, which required him to preside over it, he probably wouldn't be able to come back even once in a year or two.

After Commander No. 6 left, the people on the square also left in an orderly manner according to the pre-arranged order, and were taken back to their respective areas by the person in charge of each district.

Shen Xingyan and Chu Wei returned to the location of their school together, waiting for the next arrangement.

All the students in the school who had awakened combat occupations and life occupationists were automatically divided into two camps. One side was silent, while the other was lively and noisy. The comparison between the two immediately revealed the difference in quality.

When Shen Xingyan and Chu Wei appeared, everyone looked at them, wanting to know what kind of occupation the "golden couple" in the school had finally awakened.

Teacher Li, who was leading the team, also walked forward to inquire about the results of the two when he saw them coming.

In the various training sessions organized by the school, Shen Xingyan and Chu Wei were both outstanding existences. In the rankings of various competitions, the figures of the two would generally appear.

Chu Wei's family conditions are relatively good. Her parents are both senior combat occupationists, and there is no need to say more about their financial situation. If it weren't for the issue of military merits, they would have probably moved to the central area long ago.

Chu Wei also usually has various nourishing products provided by her family to promote the growth of her physical attributes, so it would not be surprising to achieve such results.

But Shen Xingyan is different. Since the disaster struck eight years ago, his parents have been missing in those battles, and there is a high probability that they have sacrificed.

And Shen Xingyan has been relying on the pension given by the base and the inheritance left by his parents to support himself and his young sister for these years, and he can still achieve results that attract the attention of the whole school under such circumstances.

This has also once become a hot-blooded example promoted by the school to encourage the children of the school to work hard and strive for progress.

From seeing Shen Xingyan's state, Teacher Li had his own judgment in his heart. The words of inquiry came to his lips, but he swallowed them back, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

After all, he had led many classes of students, and his ability to check students' emotions was very skilled. Even if the young people tried their best to hide it, he could know from the subtle expressions revealed that the result this time should not be too good.

The other students naturally saw the clues. In this sensitive puberty, as peers, their senses were also particularly strong.

"Yo, Shen Xingyan, look at you, I'm afraid you've awakened to the blacksmith occupation, but you're so strong, being a blacksmith is very suitable for you."

Song Jie, who had always been crushed by Shen Xingyan in the rankings, immediately mocked him in a sarcastic tone.

This time, Song Jie was lucky enough to awaken to the warrior occupation. Although he did not reach his ideal mage occupation, it was also a good occupation, and the future professional prospects are also very promising.

After saying his occupation, he also received envious looks from everyone, which made him a little inflated.

Now he also noticed that his nemesis Shen Xingyan, although on the surface looked calm, but revealed a sense of decadence in his expression, and immediately guessed that the other party must not have awakened to any good occupation, and his heart suddenly burst into joy.

"Song Jie, are you itchy, looking for a beating!"

Before Shen Xingyan could reply, Chu Wei, who was angered, directly retorted. If Shen Xingyan hadn't reacted and stopped her, Chu Wei would have probably directly attacked.

Chu Wei was already upset that Shen Xingyan had awakened to the farmer occupation, complaining about the injustice of the heavens, and now he was even ridiculed by Song Jie in public, and the anger in her heart suddenly burst out.

"Yo ho, I'm talking about Shen Xingyan, why are you so excited? Could it be that there's really something between you two?"

Song Jie said, looking at the two with a wicked smile, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Chu Wei was immediately ashamed and angry when she heard this, and wanted to break through Shen Xingyan's blockade with greater force.

"Song Jie, no matter what occupation I awaken to, it's more than enough to beat you now. If you don't believe me, you can try!"

Shen Xingyan said calmly, looking at the increasingly arrogant Song Jie.

They who had just awakened their occupations did not have a very big difference. Their strength depended entirely on the accumulation of physical qualities before awakening, and Shen Xingyan was still a full-attribute awakening.

Although it was only a farmer occupation, if he fought against them who had just awakened to combat occupations, he would have a high probability of standing to the end even if the other party released their professional skills.

At this time, Teacher Li saw Song Jie, who was becoming more and more outrageous, and shouted with a cold face, "Song Jie, if you say such words that disrupt unity again, I will report to the school leaders and cancel your trial qualification a month later."

Hearing Teacher Li say this, Song Jie, who had just wanted to continue to refute, suddenly looked like a deflated ball, just looking at Shen Xingyan with a look of anger and daring not to speak.

Although they were about to graduate after completing the awakening, the school could no longer control them, but the graduation trial a month later was a real graduation benefit, and he could not miss it because of this.

During the trial, not only could they see the real world outside the border, but its risk was almost zero. It was an exploration journey conducted under the protection of many high-level combat occupationists in the school.

If they were lucky, it was also very possible to obtain rare items that could increase various physical abilities.

So hearing Teacher Li say this, Song Jie, who was slightly self-sufficient in possessing the warrior occupation, had to obediently listen and shut his mouth.
