Chapter 1292: Chapter 534 Other Survivor Bases

The next morning, Wang Tao arrived at Awakeners School.

The students had planned to rest well over the next few days, but no one was resting today, because Principal Wang was going to personally select the names for the second batch of Awakeners today.

They had fought desperately in the Rift for a month, all for this moment!

According to the director, the selection of names this time was largely related to points; students with high points had a greater chance of being chosen. But they were also unclear about the total points of others, as the rankings of student points had not yet been released. So they were all anticipating, hoping this opportunity would come to them.

"What do you think, how many slots are there this time?"

"Last time there were three individuals, but Principal Wang said that was his personal reward and had nothing to do with the school. But this time, it’s the school’s reward! There should be at least five or six people, right?"

"I feel the same, after all, it’s a unified reward from the school, it should be more than Principal Wang’s personal reward."

"I hope they pick me! I’ve always been very lucky, I definitely won’t waste this opportunity!"

"What luck? If it wasn’t for the teacher saving you the day before yesterday, you would have been done for, where would you find the chance to compete for an Awakener spot?"

"Doesn’t that just prove my good luck? Otherwise, why would the teacher happen to see I was in danger and successfully rescue me?"

"..."

On the school square, numerous students whispered to each other.

"Principal Wang is here!"

Someone shouted, and in an instant, conversation ceased and all eyes eagerly turned towards the sky, watching the Golden Eagle.

Having digested the information overnight, they already knew about the Golden Eagle, Crystal Energy Poison Trees, barriers, and such. Although these details shocked them, they had no time to dwell on it now; they only wanted to know which lucky individual would awaken today.

The Golden Eagle slowly landed on the square, and Wang Tao along with Gu Yun and others jumped off its back and strode to the previously constructed stage.

"Dear students, I have seen all of your performances in the Rift this past month, and everyone has done very well, far beyond my expectations. The purpose of establishing the Awakeners School is to give everyone the opportunity to awaken. Therefore, today I will select a number of students for Awakening based on your points and overall performance in the Rift!"

Even though Wang Tao had already notified them, hearing it in person from Wang Tao still thrilled them.

"However, I want to clarify with everyone in advance that Awakening has a success rate. The success rate for the first Awakening is 50%, so the students who are selected next, if they succeed in Awakening, that’s naturally great. But if you fail, don’t be disheartened; there will be other chances!"

Wang Tao wanted to dampen their hopes to lessen any potential disappointment, so he gave them this pre-emptive warning.

The students naturally knew about the failure rate of Awakening, but many had subconsciously ignored it, or rather, did not wish to dwell on it. Now hearing Wang Tao personally address the matter, their excitement subdued a bit.

Seeing the students calm down somewhat, Wang Tao continued:

"I will now announce the next list of names, please come on stage as your name is called..."

All the students perked up, the moment had arrived!

"Kou Wei..."

Wang Tao read five names in one go.

The individuals called leaped excitably onto the stage, while those whose names were not called felt both envy and disappointment. Indeed, as they had guessed, there were five slots this time.

But before they could discuss it amongst themselves, Wang Tao read another five names.

"Li Wei..."

Huh? There was more!

Suddenly, the crowd began to murmur. There were more slots? Were there ten this time?

Those whose names were called in this second group could hardly believe it, but still, they ran excitedly to the stage.

The other students envied them again, and even harbored a small hope. Could there be even more?

Wang Tao, as if aware of their thoughts, continued to read out names.

"Xu Jian..."

Wow!

This time, the students could no longer remain calm—there were fifteen slots! But seeing the paper in Wang Tao’s hand was not put away yet, they mentally exclaimed: Could it be? Were there actually more?

"Yuan Xiaofei..."

Indeed, Wang Tao read out five more names and then finally tucked the list away.

"There are a total of twenty slots this time. All students whose names have been read, please come to the stage."

Without Wang Tao’s direction, those called had already made their way over.

The other students were left in disbelief.

They had thought there might be more slots for Awakening this time, but they had not imagined there would be so many more! Last time there were only three slots; this time there were twenty!

Principal Wang was too extravagant! To provide Awakening opportunities for twenty people—the Awakeners School was committing a vast amount of resources!

Even the twenty people on stage felt somewhat embarrassed; they felt unworthy... after all, how many Awakeners were there in the entire Changhe Base, and yet they were given twenty slots? If they failed to awaken, they would feel like they had let down both the base and the school’s investment!

Principal Wang seemed to notice their thoughts and so he added:

"Everyone, don’t feel any psychological pressure; this sort of thing depends completely on luck, and there will be many more opportunities in the future..."

After offering a few words of comfort, Wang Tao took out the corresponding Crystal Cores and Awakening Keys.

All of these twenty individuals were Level 3 ability users, but their Special Ability Levels were not necessarily sufficient, so Wang Tao asked about their specific situations before taking out the corresponding high-quality Crystal Cores.

These Crystal Cores were provided by the City Hall; this time, Wang Tao had not spent any out-of-pocket expenses. The base had supplied many low-quality Crystal Cores, and he simply took the initiative to synthesize these into high-quality ones.
