"Have you heard? Su Chen from the next class awakened a useless Martial Spirit. He’s practically the worst of the Ten-Thousand!"
"Haha, you don’t know. When the academy's higher-ups found out, their faces turned green. They immediately ordered his expulsion from the school."
"Strange, wasn’t he supposed to be talented? He’s been groomed for years; how could he awaken a useless Martial Spirit?"
On his way home, Su Chen heard the mocking voices nearby, a bitter expression crossing his face. Just moments ago, he had crossed over into a world where Martial Spirits were awakened.
In this world, everyone undergoes a Martial Spirit awakening ceremony upon reaching adulthood. After years of hard work, whether one becomes a dragon or a worm is determined by the awakening of their Martial Spirit. Some individuals are born with extraordinary talent and an innate sensitivity to spiritual energy but awaken a lowly Martial Spirit, leaving them unable to fight for life. Others, who may have been academic underachievers, awaken top-tier combat Martial Spirits and soar to greatness, becoming elite warriors on the Martial Spirit continent.
Thus, the awakening of a Martial Spirit is a pivotal moment in everyone’s life. However, just now during his awakening ceremony, Su Chen was tested and found to have a useless Martial Spirit—his body had not condensed any Martial Spirit at all, only shattered remnants remained. Such a situation was extremely rare in history because typically, one would at least condense some form of Martial Spirit, even if it were of the lowest quality.
How could this be possible? Su Chen furrowed his brow. He had always been extraordinarily gifted and had a strong sensitivity to spiritual energy; how could he not condense a Martial Spirit within him? He felt that there was something amiss.
At that moment, a figure in a white dress appeared before him—tall and graceful with striking beauty.
"Wang Hui?" Seeing her made Su Chen's gaze flicker. According to his memories, Wang Hui was his girlfriend in this world and had just awakened her Level Fire Spirit Fox during the ceremony. She had already caught the attention of the four top spirit houses in the province and had been pre-selected for admission.
Given their disparity in status, he felt an ominous premonition creeping in.
"Stop!" Wang Hui frowned as she looked at Su Chen walking ahead, her tone cold.
It was then that Su Chen noticed a red luxury sports car parked by the roadside. Wasn’t that Qin Chuan’s car—the only son of Dean Dongji? What was he doing here? Su Chen's brow furrowed deeper as an unsettling feeling took root in his heart.
As the scissor doors of the sports car swung open, Qin Chuan stepped out in a casual suit, wearing a pair of frameless sunglasses. He walked straight ahead, ignoring everything around him.
Qin Chuan silently approached Wang Hui, casting a disdainful glance at Su Chen. Observing the ambiguous distance between the two, Su Chen couldn't help but furrow his brows.
At that moment, Wang Hui suddenly grabbed Qin Chuan's hand and coldly said to Su Chen, "Let's break up."
Hearing this, Su Chen's brows shot up, and a cold glint flickered in his eyes. Just as he had sensed earlier, Wang Hui had indeed come to end their relationship.
Such was the reality of adulthood. When this body’s previous owner had showcased his talent and was nurtured by the academy, Wang Hui had shamelessly flattered him, leaving the former owner utterly captivated. But now, with the news of his Martial Spirit being rendered useless exposed, she immediately distanced herself from him and sought refuge in someone else’s arms.
At this moment, Su Chen's heart felt as clear as a mirror; staying here would be disrespectful to himself. Moreover, he had just crossed over and had no real feelings for Wang Hui.
Without hesitation, Su Chen turned and walked away.
Wang Hui frowned slightly; Su Chen's calm demeanor caught her off guard. She had expected that after a series of setbacks, he would be at his wit's end and would see her as his last hope since he truly had nothing left to lose.
She anticipated seeing Su Chen on the street, looking like a lost dog, begging her to stay, only to be kicked aside by her in the end—his face covered in shame.
However, contrary to her expectations, Su Chen’s composed appearance only made her feel humiliated and somewhat unwilling to accept it. His calmness and even indifference left her feeling unprepared.
This useless person still pretended to be strong at such a time?
Wang Hui gritted her teeth; she clearly believed that Su Chen was merely putting on a facade of calmness to salvage what little dignity he had left.
Hmph! You, a Martial Spirit-less waste, will soon understand the gap between us. Just recently, Qin Chuan's Martial Spirit mutated into the Level Dark Devouring Python and has already caught the attention of the Four Great Higher Academies in the Imperial Capital. In the future, he will undoubtedly become a true dragon while you remain just a frog looking up at him!
Just then, Wang Hui's voice came from behind Su Chen.
