Chapter 57: Episode 5.9

True to Bai Tingfeng’s thought, people worldwide now know Shen Yuan’s power. Chairman Mao wanted to achieve this to boost the omega’s prestige as an awakener.

However, the broadcast of Shen Yuan’s Awakener’s Test also acted as an avenue for a certain circle of people who are keeping their eyes on the unsuspecting omega.

"What a circus performance," a slim-bodied youth mouthed boredly as he watched the breath-stopping fight between the two S-Class awakeners through his phone.

The young man had distinctive cotton-candy pink hair that would undoubtedly stick out even from afar.

And on his neck was a collar that protected the pheromone gland in his nape. An accessory that’s commonly seen in omegas.

He was inside a room with walls of mirrors and was sitting on the shiny wooden floor—an image of youthful carelessness.

However, his eyes reflect cunning that is hard to find in people around his age. Nonetheless, anyone looking at the reflection he projects in the mirrors would say that he is a beautiful omega.

"A presumably holy-attribute fire, physical buffing spells, talisman-making skills, top-tiered illusion, and a massive mana pool. With all these skills that Shen Yuan showed, are they sure the ritual was unsuccessful?" The youth spoke scornfully. "Hey, Juno. Say, did Toad call it a day because he was too weak to subdue the Ascended Tailed Guardian?"

Suddenly, the image projected in the mirror before him wavered and a reflection of a kneeling man. His face and entire body were covered with a loose, black hood.

"Your Eminence, the Cardinal of Avarice, only retreated upon verifying that Shen Yuan is a rejected vessel. Shen Yuan was literally taking his last breath when they left. The fact that he is still alive and awakened as an S-Class Awakener may be attributed to his luck," the man spoke formally. Each of his words carries respect for the young omega.

"I know, right? Damn, one needs to have a shit ton of luck just to survive Mana Overload. I am fucking envious," The pink-haired omega said. He faced the mirror and flashed a devious smirk. "If only I were tasked to look for the remnants of the Wei Clan, then I would get to meet Shen Yuan. Why does it have to be Toad? That disgusting alpha male couldn’t even kidnap a child."

The pissed-off youth looked at his phone once again, and there, he saw that the grand clashing of magic in the arena was finally dying down, revealing the two haggard and injured S-Class awakeners. His unfeeling eyes are particularly nailed at the sweat-drenched omega.

"Shen Yuan..."

"I hate omegas like him, who has it all. Beauty, wealth, and even luck. Fuck. If I am not tasked with boring showbiz work as a cover, I will..." He casually flicked his finger, and the reflection of the hooded man vanished. "Well, forget that we will still meet since we are in the same industry anyway."

And when that happens... He’ll kill...

Suddenly, the door opened.

"Rin- oh! You are resting. I thought you were still practicing!" said the green-eyed omega who entered the room. He was followed by three other fair and visually appealing omegas who had distinct individual charms.

Rin, the pink-haired omega, put on a weak and timid facade, totally different from his previous callous demeanor. "Of course not. I am watching Shen Yuan’s Awakener Test. Shen Yuan is so enviable. I hope I am as attractive as him when sweating and running around." Rin cutely responded. No one knows that behind his soft smile, a diabolical ambition lies hidden from anyone.

Back in the arena, the chaotic magic has finally subsided. It revealed the horrendous end for the field. The previously luxuriant forest was no longer in sight. Nothing but ash, dust, and a few cracks on the ground could be seen in the field.

Anything aside from that perished in the fight between the two top-tiered S-Class mage awakeners.

Shen Yuan was gasping for breath as he looked up at the sky. "Oh, the sky is completely dark now."

The celestial fox spirit’s clothes were severely damaged, and it revealed his fair and creamy skin, which was unfortunately littered with a few minor lacerations.

He was bloodied, but he didn’t care.

He simply felt light-hearted and tired at the same time.

"It’s ridiculous. It’s been a long while since I worked by powers out like this," Shen Yuan thought. He isn’t at his peak due to his incomplete merging with this vessel, but that is his best!

Is he still in the Mortal Realm? He didn’t get transported in the Spirit Realm, right?

"I guess I will like my stay in this omegaverse world," the celestial fox spirit said. At this moment, he is thankful for whatever brought him here. He enjoyed letting his power loose.

"It’s time for dinner. Can I crash a meal at your afterparty?" The burnt and haggard Chairman Mao asked from the side. "I think I want a glass of champagne after pushing the limits of my old bones."

The chairman scanned his surroundings and was shocked at the fate of their surroundings.

"Oh, shit. Shen Yuan. You freaking destroyed the artificial forest that I painstakingly made!"

Shen Yuan rolled his eyes to the accusation. "Chairman Mao, shamelessness should come with age, and you are too old for that. You also have a hand on it. See, those robots? I tried to be delicate with them, and you destroyed them. Therefore, we did it."

The senior alpha male scrunched his face, but his eyes hid a smile. "Fine. We caused all the damages."

He thought he could make Shen Yuan pay for the reparations. This omega is too wise beyond belief!

Ring!!

The signal indicating the final test’s end blared in the arena.

Shen Yuan and Chairman Mao sighed a big and loud sigh of relief simultaneously.

"Congratulations, Country C and the entire world have finally recognized you as an S-Class," Chairman Mao said.

Coincidentally, the audience’s loud cheers thundered after the chairman said those words.

"Well, thanks for your support. I hope no one will dare to belittle me from now on. It’s tiring to be angry whenever I hear snide remarks from insignificant people. They are like flies buzzing in front of my eyes," Shen Yuan said as he looked at the enthusiastic crowd.

Shen Yuan’s eyes strayed to the VIP area to look at his son and Bai Tingfeng, but strangely, none of the two was in sight.

"They must be hurrying to meet you in your lounge. Let’s go," Chairman Mao said. The older man must have seen where he was looking.

Thus, the two mildly injured S-Class awakeners walked out of the field.

However, in each of their steps, both felt the repercussions of their fight. They all felt their movement sluggish.

Especially Shen Yuan, his limbs are all wobbly, so it was a miracle that he managed to reach the exit.

Now that he was away from the sight of the public, his body and consciousness finally relaxed, and the next thing that he knew, he was falling to the floor with a thump.

He isn’t alone. Chairman Mao also slumped to the ground. The two of them looked like drinking buddies who were left hammered in the gutter.

"Oh, my mana was practically drained. It seems like you are, too. "

"Huh?" Shen Yuan raised his head with difficulty and looked at the senior alpha male with shock and nervousness.

Because of his monstrous mana pool, he never worried about reaching zero percent of his mana. Whenever he feels he can no longer maintain his illusion or transformation spell while staying in the mortal world, he will return to the Spirit Realm to avoid any identity slip-up.

Therefore, it was the first time the celestial fox spirit experienced Mana Depletion.

"Shen Yuan!"

"Daddy!"

The two familiar voices called him out. It was Bai Tingfeng and his son. He was utterly touched that they all came to meet him after the test, but his heart was beating loudly because of nervousness.

Now that Chairman Mao pointed it out, he felt his mana was getting too low. At this rate, he could no longer sustain his transformation spell after five minutes!

He doesn’t mind if Yanyan or Chairman Mao could see it. Those two know that he has tails and ears. And they think nothing about it. But that’s them.

What if Bai Tingfeng and those approaching medics saw his prized possessions and came up with the idea that he is an actual fox spirit possessing a human body?

He can’t expose his real identity, especially in this unfamiliar world where superpowers exist!

Exceptionally not when this vessel is targeted by the Cardinals! That is unsafe!

And Bai Tingfeng... What if he despises him once he finds out?

People say that even the smartest one cannot think straight once they are deep in worries, and Shen Yuan is just that.

While still wild in his thoughts and wholly distracted, Shen Yuan didn’t notice that Bai Tingfeng and Yanyan were already upon him, and the alpha male already scooped him up on the ground.

"Why are you plopped on the ground? We need to treat your wounds first." Bai Tingfeng said.

Cradled in the man’s arms, Shen Yuan woke up from his reverie. "Bai Tingfeng!! Take me back to my lounge ASAP! I will personally treat my wound there!"

The alpha male was surprised at the urgency and desperation of the omega. Just what is going on inside his head?
