"Children, you have completed one of the most important ceremonies in your lives; from now on, you are independent individuals.
The road ahead is still long. No matter how big or small the difference between the current outcome and what you imagined, since it is destined, we must accept it, improve our Skill levels, and allow ourselves and our families to live better lives.
You are the future hope of the Human Race. Please protect yourselves and fully unleash your potential. We believe that through the efforts of generations of us, in the future, our Human Race will surely be able to walk freely in the Extraterritorial World, no longer confined to small bases.
Finally, I wish you all the best in the future, peace and safety every year, peace and safety every year, peace and safety every year!"
After Commander No. 6 finished speaking, the 18-year-old youths present, whether Combat Professionals or those with life professions, all felt a surge of fighting spirit.
Shen Xingyan was no exception. He had already begun to ponder how to use the current conditions to provide a better life for himself and his sister.
However, before the hundreds of thousands of people present could unleash this fighting spirit, Commander No. 6's figure suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.
The Extraterritorial World Disaster is getting more and more severe. Figures like him must constantly guard the border to prevent any unexpected incidents.
After all, past lessons have taught them that what they consider very small oversights often provide the best sneak attack opportunities for the Disasters, so they must be on guard!
If it weren't for the importance of this ceremony, which forced him to come and preside, he probably wouldn't be able to return even once in a year or two.
After Commander No. 6 left, the people in the square also left in an orderly manner according to the pre-arranged sequence, and then were led back to their respective districts by the heads of each district.
Shen Xingyan and Chu Wei returned together to their school's location, awaiting further arrangements.
Within the entire school, students who had awakened Combat Professional and those with life professions automatically divided into two camps: one side was silent, while the other was lively and noisy, making the contrast immediately apparent.
When Shen Xingyan and Chu Wei appeared, everyone looked at them both, wanting to know what kind of profession the school's "golden couple" had finally awakened.
Li Teacher, who was leading the team, also walked forward to ask about their results when he saw them approaching.
In the various training sessions organized by the school, Shen Xingyan and Chu Wei were both outstanding, and their figures usually appeared in the rankings of various competitions.
Chu Wei's family background was relatively good; both her parents were experienced Combat Professionals, so their economic situation goes without saying. If it weren't for issues with military merits, they would probably have moved to the Central District long ago.
Chu Wei usually also had various nourishing products provided by her family to promote the growth of her physical attributes, so achieving such results was not surprising.
But Shen Xingyan was different. Since the Disaster struck eight years ago, his parents went missing in those battles, and it was highly probable that they had sacrificed themselves.
Over the years, Shen Xingyan relied on the compensation given by the base and the inheritance left by his parents, not only supporting himself but also his young sister, and even under such circumstances, he was able to achieve results that garnered attention from the entire school.
This also once became a passionate example promoted by the school to encourage students to strive for success.
From the moment he saw Shen Xingyan's state, Li Teacher had his own judgment. The question was on the tip of his tongue but he swallowed it back, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.
After all, he had taught many batches of students, and his ability to discern student emotions was very skilled. Even if the young ones tried their best to hide it, from the subtle expressions they revealed, he could tell that the result this time should not be too good.
Other classmates naturally also noticed the clues. In this sensitive period of adolescence, as peers, their senses were particularly acute.
"Oh, Shen Xingyan, looking at you, you probably awakened the Blacksmith profession, didn't you? But you're so strong, being a Blacksmith would suit you very well." Song Jie, who had always been overshadowed by Shen Xingyan's rankings, immediately mocked him with sarcasm.
This time, Song Jie was lucky enough to awaken the Warrior profession. Although it didn't reach his ideal Mage profession, it was still a good profession with very potential career prospects for the future.
After revealing his profession, he also received envious glances from everyone, which made him a bit conceited.
Now he also noticed that his arch-rival Shen Xingyan, although appearing calm on the surface, revealed a sense of dejection in his demeanor, and immediately guessed that the other party certainly hadn't awakened any good profession, and his heart was instantly filled with joy.
"Song Jie, are you itching for a beating, looking for a fight?!" Before Shen Xingyan could reply, an enraged Chu Wei directly retorted. If Shen Xingyan hadn't reacted and stopped her, Chu Wei would probably have already attacked him directly.
Chu Wei was already upset that Shen Xingyan had awakened the Farmer profession, blaming the unfairness of heaven, and now he was even publicly mocked by Song Jie, so the anger in her heart immediately flared up.
"Oh, I was talking about Shen Xingyan, why are you so excited? Could it be that you two really have something going on?" Song Jie said, looking at the two with a mischievous smile, the implication self-evident.
Upon hearing this, Chu Wei was immediately filled with shame and anger, trying harder to break through Shen Xingyan's restraint.
"Song Jie, no matter what profession I awaken, I can still easily take you down right now. If you don't believe me, you can try it!" Shen Xingyan said calmly, looking at the increasingly arrogant Song Jie.
Those who had just awakened their professions did not have a significant difference in strength; their power depended entirely on the accumulation of physical fitness before awakening. Moreover, Shen Xingyan was a full-attribute awakening.
Even though it was only a Farmer profession, if he were to face those who had just awakened Combat Professional, he would have a high probability of being the last one standing, even if the opponent used their professional Skill.
At this moment, Li Teacher, seeing Song Jie becoming increasingly out of line, coldly shouted, "Song Jie, if you say such divisive words again, I will report you to the School Leader and cancel your qualification for the trial a month from now."
Hearing Li Teacher say this, Song Jie, who was about to retort, immediately deflated like a punctured ball, only looking at Shen Xingyan with an expression of suppressed anger.
Although they would be considered quasi-graduates after completing the awakening and the school would no longer manage them, the graduation trial a month later was a solid graduation benefit that he could not afford to miss.
During the trial, not only could they witness the true world outside the border, but the risk was almost zero, as it was a journey of exploration conducted under the escort of many high-level Combat Professionals from the school.
If they were lucky, it was highly possible to obtain rare items that could increase various physical abilities.
Therefore, hearing Li Teacher say this, Song Jie, who had been somewhat self-important about possessing the Warrior profession, had no choice but to obediently shut his mouth.
