When Li Wei was walking up to the stage, he happened to pass by the beauty Su Lan.
However, she didn't even glance at him, as if he were invisible…
Of course, Li Wei didn't care. Right now, what worried him more was whether he could obtain a supernatural ability.
With anxiety in his heart, he stepped onto the stage and entered the spatial-temporal wormhole without hesitation.
The moment he entered the Sacred Land, his consciousness was transported into a bizarre fantasy world!
All around appeared many strange glowing objects, ancient runes, crystals of various shapes, and countless mysterious energies.
They flowed past Li Wei like fish in a river, moving quickly.
Li Wei knew that these were the supernatural abilities!
So he immediately reached out his hand to grab one.
Unexpectedly, he actually managed to catch something…
When Li Wei's consciousness returned to his body, he found that he had already returned to the real world and was standing at the exit of the Sacred Land, holding a crystal box in his hands.
"Student Li Wei, what supernatural ability are you holding in your hands?"
The vice principal's voice brought Li Wei back to his senses.
He didn't need to open the crystal box; he could already feel the information coming from it. It was truly amazing!
Nevertheless, Li Wei still opened the box, revealing a bright scarlet Essence Crystal.
"This is a natural type, the Flame Essence Crystal."
Said Li Wei.
These words caused a collective gasp throughout the crowd!!
"Damn?!! It's actually a natural type Essence Crystal?"
"Yesterday someone from the Second High School got one and it caused a sensation throughout the city, and today it turns out our school has one too! Have natural type Essence Crystals become so common?"
"Shit, shit! This guy… is so lucky?"
"I'm so envious I could cry. Why wasn't it me who got the natural type Essence Crystal?"
"This guy Li Wei… is going to soar!"
"The legendary Flame Essence Crystal! After merging with it, one can control the power of fire. How I wish it were me!"
"So far, everyone who has obtained a natural type Essence Crystal, as long as they didn't die halfway, has become an important figure in the future! This guy from Class 3-2 named Li Wei is probably going to live in a completely different world from us."
. . .
Down below the stage.
Thousands of students were talking animatedly. Everyone looked at Li Wei with envy and jealousy. They wished they could kill Li Wei and take his place.
On the stage.
All the school leaders, including the principal, were excited. Especially the teachers of Class 3-2; they even stood up involuntarily.
If a student with a natural type appeared in the school, then as teachers and leaders they would also gain huge political achievements.
Moreover, thanks to the teacher-student relationship, if Li Wei achieved success in the future, all the teachers who had taught him would benefit from it.
That was why they were so excited!
The university admission representatives had already rushed out from their seats and were waiting on the side. As soon as Li Wei came down from the stage, they would swarm him and start fighting over him.
At this moment.
Li Wei became the center of attention of the entire school. Everyone was looking at him!
Even the usually cold vice principal now broke into a warm smile, and her gaze toward Li Wei was meaningful.
"Student Li Wei, congratulations on obtaining a natural type Essence Crystal! On behalf of the school, I wish you a brilliant future and hope that good luck will accompany you on the path of pursuing the supernatural!"
These kind words would be fine to say in private, but saying them publicly, and especially coming from the vice principal, sounded a bit overly sweet.
But the people present thought it was normal!
If they had the chance to flatter the owner of a natural type Essence Crystal, they would say even sweeter things!
Because the owner of a natural type Essence Crystal possessed unlimited potential and could become a powerful "King-level" figure in the future!
"Student Li Wei, you may step down and rest for now."
Seeing that Li Wei seemed to be lost in thought, the vice principal politely reminded him.
Hearing this, Li Wei, still holding the box, walked toward the exit of the stage.
As for whether something would happen if he didn't merge with the Essence Crystal from the box immediately—for example, if it were stolen?
No!!
The crystal box was not only for storing supernatural items, but also served as a protective mechanism provided by the Sacred Land!
As long as Li Wei himself did not voluntarily give it away, if anyone dared to use force to try to seize the crystal box, they would suffer a counterattack from the protective mechanism!!
It was said that the counterattack of the crystal box was a very terrifying curse!
Moreover, even if the crystal box were really stolen against the owner's will, others would not be able to open it and obtain the supernatural item inside.
Even under coercion, it wouldn't work!
The protective mechanism of the crystal box had its own set of evaluation criteria and could sense the true intentions of the owner. If someone used special means to force the owner to hand over the crystal box, the crystal box would self-destruct.
That was why no one dared to steal other people's supernatural abilities.
If it were possible to simply steal or threaten, then all the major forces would have long ago kidnapped these children who had just reached adulthood…
. . .
When Li Wei stepped down from the stage.
A group of university admission representatives immediately surrounded him.
"Student Li Wei, I am the director of the admissions office of Shanghai Military University. On behalf of Shanghai Military University, I welcome Student Li Wei…"
"Student Li Wei, I am from Peking University. If you come to Peking University, not only will you be exempt from tuition fees, but you will also receive a generous scholarship!"
"Zhenwu University needs geniuses like you. If you agree, you can set any conditions…"
More than twenty admission representatives surrounded Li Wei, enthusiastically promoting the conditions of their universities and trying their best to recruit him.
This scene stunned Li Wei. He was completely shocked!
Other students, seeing prestigious universities swarming around Li Wei, became even more envious.
The gazes of some girls toward Li Wei changed.
They suddenly discovered that the previously unremarkable Li Wei now shone like gold, and his face had become incredibly attractive!
"Dear teachers and leaders, please listen to me!"
Li Wei said loudly:
"I never thought I would obtain the Flame Essence Crystal, and I certainly hadn't thought about which university to attend. So please give me some time to think it over, okay? Besides, this is such an important matter, I need to go home and discuss it with my parents."
This sounded very reasonable.
Although many admission representatives wanted to take Li Wei away immediately, they understood that this was only wishful thinking and agreed.
"Alright, Student Li Wei, think it over. Here is my business card. My phone number is on it. If you make a decision, call me and I will personally come to pick you up…"
"Student Li Wei, here is my business card. The doors of our Zhenwu University are always open to you…"
Everyone handed over their business cards and only then let Li Wei go.
At this moment Li Wei felt a little dazed.
He had never imagined that in the Sacred Land he would only need to reach out his hand to catch the Flame Essence Crystal.
Was the journey into the Sacred Land really this simple?
Why did so many people get nothing?
Could this be the privilege of a transmigrator from the Blue Star?
Looking at the Flame Essence Crystal in his hands, Li Wei wondered whether he should merge with it right away.
In his previous life on the Blue Star, fire had always been considered one of the most basic and common elements. Although the power of flames looked impressive, he still felt a bit awkward…
Besides, he was not very satisfied with the Flame Essence Crystal.
At this moment.
A slender and beautiful figure suddenly walked up to Li Wei and blocked his path.
Li Wei raised his head and saw a tear-stained but beautiful face looking at him pitifully.
It was Su Lan!
