Chapter 978

Given the various foundations and deeds he had revealed so far, no one would doubt this explanation; they would only feel that he truly had many trump cards.

When Seeing Yun Shen's gaze swept across the group of newcomers, regardless of gender, each and every one of them wanted to show off, especially a few girls who considered themselves outstanding in appearance, who even boldly threw him flirtatious glances.

It was just that Seeing Yun Shen paid no attention to this at all. Having seen many beauties, he had long since developed an immunity and would not be trapped by beauty.

Looking at them one by one, the vast majority were from commoner families, their aptitudes were not high, and those with common and excellent aptitudes were the most numerous.

Those who could reach rare aptitude were either exceptionally gifted or had at least a little money in their families.

Starting from excellent aptitude, they were basically all children from noble clans and sects.

He didn't know if it was intentional by most forces, but the number of high-quality students at Tianxing High School this year was a bit high.

The number of children from noble clans and sects far exceeded previous years.

People like Zhao Shuiyun and Zhu Ying basically only came to Tianxing High School under random assignment; their families generally wouldn't interfere in such small matters, letting their descendants grow up wildly on their own.

However, this year was clearly different; each and every one of them must have pulled strings to arrange for people to enter Tianxing High School.

Especially the number of girls from noble clans and sects was far greater than the boys from noble clans and sects.

This made the imbalance of yin and yang even worse.

Seeing Yun Shen looked at them one by one, and there were indeed a few lucky ones whose luck was quite good, having high-quality affixes refreshed by him.

It was just that for him to bestow "fortune" upon them openly, it basically had to be a golden affix; the standard had to be high, and the affix effect could not be too mediocre.

Furthermore, whether this batch of people accepted his sponsorship or not, after becoming a lord, they all had to transfer an additional thirty percent of their territory's permanent shares to him.

After all, he wasn't running a charity. A golden affix might change a person's life, and for a newcomer who hadn't yet become a lord, as long as they were from a commoner family, it was basically not a loss.

Seeing Yun Shen glanced at the time; there were less than ten minutes left before the next layer of the Myriad Races Battlefield would be born.

By then, all the affixes he had refreshed would be reset.

Moreover, he currently had no way of knowing what territory traits these people had awakened. If they didn't match the affix effects, even a golden affix might turn into something mediocre.

For example, bestowing a farming-type affix on a future War God lord might leave people speechless, and paying an additional thirty percent of permanent territory shares for that would be a huge loss.

The four of them quickly found the waiting area Freya had been assigned to on the playground according to her serial number.

The playgrounds of lord high schools were very vast, and accommodating a million people was no problem at all.

Afterward, they would call numbers according to the serial numbers of each waiting area. The newcomers in the waiting area whose numbers were called would have to take transportation in turn to go outside the awakening classroom and wait for awakening.

Many people were just coming over now to find the location of their waiting area, just like examinees would go to find their exam room in advance to avoid not being able to find the location and wasting too much time when the time came.

After all, they were just a group of ordinary people; they couldn't stay on the playground and pull all-nighters until they awakened, right?

Like Seeing Yun Shen back then, he was in the last batch to awaken, and the time was already the morning of August 2nd.

Seeing Yun Shen took a look and found that Freya's serial number was about the same as his back then; they should both be in the batch that could only awaken on August 2nd.

So he suggested, "The earliest you can awaken is the night of the 1st. You all go back and wait first; I still want to see if there are any newcomers with special potential."

Zhu Ying asked curiously, "What special potential?"

Seeing Yun Shen deliberated, "Hmm... it counts as me looking for people with affinity, letting them choose for themselves whether they want this stroke of fortune in my hands."

Zhu Ying retorted, "Mysterious and secretive. If they didn't know you were Seeing Yun Shen, they'd definitely think you were a con artist."

At this time, Zhao Shuiyun asked, "Then, Brother Yun, is Freya one of the people with affinity you mentioned?"

Seeing Yun Shen shook his head slightly, "Unfortunately, not yet. Let's see again in these two days."

If no powerful affix appeared by the 2nd, then Seeing Yun Shen would choose a relatively decent affix to give to Freya.

Additionally, it is worth mentioning that Freya's bloodline pollution had been completely purified.

This is all thanks to that single drop of Seeing Yun Shen's essence blood, as the Primordial trait effect it brought was overly significant.

It was just that although the pollution was cleared and would not continue to weaken her bloodline strength, it was currently still only at the Excellent Grade level.

Clearing the pollution did not mean that the bloodline strength would return to its peak state; it just wouldn't continue to decline.

Freya's previous Ink Elf bloodline was of Shi Shi quality. After the Primordial trait automatically cleared the pollution, it was gradually improving her bloodline strength and aptitude.

Unfortunately, perhaps because Freya had not yet become a lord, limited by the rules, the speed at which the Primordial trait improved bloodline strength and aptitude was very slow.

If he could give her another week, she should be able to reach Shi Shi Grade aptitude.

Unfortunately, time waits for no one.

Added to that, Freya's luck was truly terrible. Let alone golden affixes, even orange affixes had never appeared, and purple affixes were very rare.

Seeing Yun Shen had used the Qi-Gazing Technique to check Freya and found that her luck was very weak, even with lingering black Qi and blood light entwined.

For such a person, if it weren't for the fact that Airenisi had been recruited by Zhao Shuiyun, Freya would probably never have a day of success in her life.

Hearing that she was not one of the people with affinity Seeing Yun Shen spoke of, Freya was taken away by the two girls, feeling dejected.

Seeing Yun Shen counted down the timer, quietly waiting for time to pass.

When the final second of time passed, peals of bells echoed.

"Dong~"

The bell toll seemed to originate from the depths of the starry sky, imbued with great power, instantly sweeping across every corner of the entire Main Universe.

Countless civilizations and living beings were listening intently at this moment.

For civilizations that used the Myriad Races Calendar as their dating method, this moment was the new year.

At the same time, it signaled that countless newcomers would successively awaken their territory cores and enter the Myriad Races Battlefield to continue the new fire for their civilizations.

As for all the lords on the 6666th layer, they received a county-wide announcement at this moment.

One year has passed; the County Magistrate Selection Tournament begins now! ===== CHAPTER 980 =====
