Chapter 1289: Chapter 533: Triumph of the Awakening Student

"You actually awakened at the same time as your ascension, amazing!"

Wang Tao exclaimed.

"Hehe~"

Jiang Shixue scratched her head, somewhat embarrassed.

She had only felt that she was ready for ascension, but she never expected to also experience a second Awakening... Being with Wang Tao really did make ascensions and awakenings seem easy!

With this ascension to Level 5 and a second Awakening, Jiang Shixue’s combat power had become incomparable to what it was before.

What was most important was that from now on, she could finally be of help to Wang Tao again. She had felt a bit guilty before for not being able to assist him.

"Shall we test your new Ability?"

"Sure~"

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue together thoroughly tested her [Combat Pose] Awakening.

The test results were nearly what Wang Tao had expected, and this System Awakening, combined with Jiang Shixue’s physical condition, was incredibly strong. Even Lightning couldn’t defeat Jiang Shixue now, and the Golden Eagle wouldn’t stand a chance against her if it didn’t take to the skies. Only Wang Tao could still get the better of Jiang Shixue. This indirectly meant that Jiang Shixue had the capability to challenge those beyond her level!

Even Wang Tao had to admit that their Level 5 combat power was a bit monstrous... Claimed to be Level 5, but in reality, they were contenders who could challenge those of higher levels, their actual combat power nearly matching that of Level 6, totally incomparable to that of ordinary Level 5s.

"Brother, that means you can take me with you when you go out from now on, right?"

Jiang Shixue looked at Wang Tao expectantly.

"Okay."

Wang Tao smiled and ruffled Jiang Shixue’s hair.

At this moment, the head of the Awakeners School’s teaching department, Pan Jian, suddenly sent a message.

"Wang Xiaozhang, we have returned to the base, and if you have time, I could come and report to you."

"Ah? The students from the Awakeners School are back."

Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.

Calculating the time, it had been exactly a month since he last led the students into the Rift.

For them to be able to fight in that sunless place for a month was indeed impressive. For ordinary people, let alone fighting, they wouldn’t even be able to stay for such a long duration.

Wang Tao was also very keen to see what kind of advancements these students would make.

"I’m at the base; I’ll go to the school and wait for you. Is everyone okay?"

"Alright, Wang Xiaozhang, we are about to arrive at the school! Thank you for your concern, we’re all good, no casualties, and the students performed exceptionally, achieving great results, and the battle achievements are pleasing!"

Pan Jian’s message came through immediately.

Wang Tao turned to Jiang Shixue beside him:

"Let’s go to the Awakeners School and see for ourselves."

"Okay!"

"Woof~"

Lightning indicated it wanted to go out as well.

So, Wang Tao called for the Golden Eagle, and, taking Jiang Shixue and Lightning along with him, soon flew over the Awakeners School.

When the Awakeners School was established last month, aside from the two hundred students, there weren’t many teaching staff. But now, although the students were still outside, the school itself had become quite lively.

The Awakeners School was different from schools in the general sense, having only one purpose: to cultivate the combat power of these students, trying to turn as many of them as possible into Awakeners. Aside from that, the students needn’t worry about anything else, allowing them to focus without concerns.

Therefore, now, even though there were only two hundred students at the Awakeners School, there were now more than six hundred staff members. On average, three staff members to one student.

Of course, such treatment was what the students deserved. From the very first day they entered the Awakeners School, they went into the Rift, facing great danger to train, so it was only right they were well cared for.

The appearance of the Golden Eagle immediately attracted the attention of many people; by now, everyone knew it was Wang Xiaozhang’s mount, so it was no longer a surprise.

Wang Tao’s office was at the top floor of the school’s tallest building, providing a view over the entire school. Not long after he arrived at his office, he saw several buses approaching the school gate.

Thanks to the large-scale snow clearance within the base, ordinary vehicles could be used again.

"Let’s go down to welcome them."

Wang Tao, Jiang Shixue, and Lightning went downstairs together.

The other staff members, following Gu Yun’s instructions, had already been waiting at the school gate for some time. Not just the school’s staff, but other people from the base as well.

After all, these students were risking their lives for the base, and it was necessary to let them feel that their efforts were worth it. Both spiritually and materially, they should not be shortchanged.

When Wang Tao reached the gate, Gu Yun also arrived, and the buses were just entering.

...

Inside the buses, the students were extremely tired; they only wanted a good sleep. This one month in the Rift was almost as trying as a year of living through the Apocalypse!

Their daily routine had been wake up, eat, fight, debrief, sleep... It seemed regular and easy to become numb to, but since every encounter was with different enemies, it meant they had to be ever vigilant, always at a high level of concentration... It was really exhausting. Many students even had thoughts of leaving the school.

But entering the Awakeners School was hard, and leaving was harder. After all, the base had already invested resources into these students; they couldn’t just leave whenever they wanted. In fact, before heading into the Rift, they were given the choice.

Plus, they were all in the Rift, and even if they really wanted to leave, they wouldn’t be able to do so without the main group!

There was no choice but to persevere and fight for their lives.

Luckily, they had hung on until now and had finally returned to the school.
