Chapter 2: The Golden Finger Has Arrived

The next day.

When Yingzhou arrived at the classroom, he found that most people had already arrived, and everyone was excitedly discussing the matter of the Awakened Back Spirit.

Yingzhou went to his seat, greeted Bai Tao, and sat down in his place.

Soon, Teacher Zhou walked into the classroom, "Everyone, line up and gather at the playground! People from the Military District are coming to watch this time, so mind your image."

"The Military District! Doesn't that mean old veterans!"

"Yeah! Those who can come back to participate in this kind of activity are tough guys who fought their way out on the battlefield."

"My requirements aren't high, I just want to awaken a support-type Back Spirit."

Everyone chattered as they arrived at the playground, and seeing ten deep black Awakening Stones placed on the high platform, everyone became even more excited.

But under Teacher Zhou's eye signal, everyone had no choice but to suppress the joy in their hearts and shut their mouths.

"Ahem, since everyone is here, let's begin. Let me see how many Psionics above B-Grade the Xizhou District can produce this year." A middle-aged man wearing a dark blue military uniform with several medals hanging on it spoke on the platform.

"Next, we will proceed with the Awakening Ceremony according to the serial numbers. First, students number 1 to 10." The principal of Xizhou High School took over the topic and began the Back Spirit Awakening Ceremony.

"Number 1, Duke, awakened C-Grade Back Spirit, Two-headed Dog."

"Number 7, Xu Kun, awakened E-Grade Back Spirit, Black Chicken."

"Number 10, Tan Xiaotong, awakened B-Grade Back Spirit, Flame Mage."

Only to see behind a girl with a sweet appearance and a slender figure, a Back Spirit emerged, full of flames and wearing a mage robe.

"What! B-Grade!"

"A B-Grade Back Spirit was awakened in the first batch of people!"

"If it weren't for the seven people who failed to awaken, I would have suspected that there was a problem with the Awakening Stone!" The students off the stage let out a gasp of amazement.

"Captain Lu Yu, it seems there are quite a few talents in Xizhou District this time." An officer said to the middle-aged man who had just spoken on the stage.

"It's just one B-Grade. If they can survive on the battlefield, maybe they can make some contributions to the Human alliance." Lu Yu's expression did not change much, and he said nonchalantly.

The subsequent students were also quickly undergoing the Awakening Ceremony, but they were all talents of D-Grade or even E-Grade.

At this time, Yingzhou saw Yingfang sitting behind the group of officers, whispering to the officer beside him.

Yingzhou looked at his number, which was 249, and it should be the last batch.

"Number 78, Helao Da, awakened B-Grade Back Spirit, Knight Sword."

"Damn, this guy Helao Da is actually a B-Grade Back Spirit!" Bai Tao looked at the dark-skinned guy on the stage in surprise and said to Yingzhou beside him.

"Yeah, I really didn't expect it." Yingzhou nodded in response, feeling a sense of bitterness in his heart. It seems he doesn't have a golden finger and is going to lose face for transmigrators.

After a while, Bai Tao nudged Yingzhou, "It's our turn in the next batch. I don't know if I can awaken a Back Spirit."

Seeing this guy who was usually carefree now actually feeling nervous, Yingzhou comforted him, "Don't worry, your buddy is here with you."

"Yeah, good brother!" Bai Tao looked at Yingzhou gratefully.

"The last batch, number 241 to 250."

Yingzhou followed the group to the stage and stood in front of a deep black Awakening Stone.

The counseling teacher on the side said, "Relax, inject your Spiritual Power into it, and carefully sense the changes within."

Yingzhou took a deep breath and, following the instructor's instructions, began to try to guide the Spiritual Power in his body into the Awakening Stone. He closed his eyes, concentrated, and felt the flow of Spiritual Power in his body.

With the injection of Spiritual Power, Yingzhou felt a powerful force surging out from the Awakening Stone, as if it wanted to Devour him. His consciousness began to blur, as if he had entered another world.

In this world, he saw a burly figure wearing golden Armor, wearing a laurel crown, holding a giant sword burning with flames in his right hand, with eyes flashing with deep and bright light.

"Is... is this the Emperor?" Yingzhou looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.

He remembered that the last video he watched before transmigrating was about the Warhammer Emperor.

"Ding, detected that the host has awakened a Back Spirit, System binding in progress."

Holy crap? The golden finger has arrived too? Double happiness!

"System, why did you come so late? I've missed you so much!"

"Actually, after the host arrived in this world, this system had already started loading, but the loading time for this system required 60 hours, so it was delayed for some time."

"Then tell me quickly, what abilities do I have!"

"This system has bound the Army-Building System based on the host's Back Spirit. The host can increase the upper limit of the number of summoned Legion members by increasing Spiritual Power. Killing creatures with Spiritual Power can earn points, which can increase your Legion limit. For specific details, the host can check them in detail later."

Yingzhou wanted to ask a few more questions, but at this moment, he heard a voice of doubt in his ear.

"Strange, the Back Spirit awakened by this student has no records in the data; it should be a brand new Back Spirit!"

Yingzhou slowly opened his eyes and looked behind him, finding that the phantom of the Emperor was already too blurry to see clearly. However, the teachers around had at least noticed that he had awakened a Back Spirit and began to discuss it with the principal.

"Principal, this Back Spirit is not in the database, and it is too blurry to see what it is at all. It can only be determined that it is humanoid. What grade should it be set as?" The counseling teacher looked at the principal in distress.

After careful observation, the principal said to the counseling teacher, "I am also seeing such a blurry Back Spirit for the first time. Generally speaking, the clarity of a Back Spirit determines its upper limit. Since it is so blurry and looks like it is about to disappear, let's set it as E-Grade."

"Number 249, Yingzhou, awakened E-Grade Back Spirit, Golden Soldier."

"Number 250, Bai Tao, awakened B-Grade Back Spirit, Thunder Sword."

Huh? Yingzhou looked at Bai Tao beside him in confusion.

No way? Buddy, we agreed to go together, but you took off directly?

Bai Tao noticed Yingzhou's strange look and smiled embarrassedly, "Hehehe, good luck, good luck."

After the last batch of students stepped down, the principal said on the stage, "Students who have awakened a Back Spirit, come with us to the next venue to record your abilities. As for the students who have not awakened a Back Spirit, don't be discouraged; you can continue to contribute to Human in the Production Zone."

The students who did not awaken a Back Spirit left the playground dejectedly to face their miserable fate.

Yingzhou summoned the System Panel and began to check the functions of his golden finger.

【Host: Yingzhou.】

【Currently owned Legion: 0】

【Legion limit: 100 people.】

【Summonable Legion members: 10 people.】

【Available number of Legion type draws: 1 time.】

"System, draw a Legion!" Yingzhou chose to draw without a moment's hesitation.

"Drawing... Congratulations, Host! You have obtained the Death Korps of Krieg."

"Holy crap, this is great! I didn't expect you to be so generous! Does that mean I can summon 10 Krieg soldiers now?" Yingzhou felt a surge of excitement; he remembered scrolling past short videos where the soldiers of the Death Korps of Krieg were incredibly heroic.

"Yes, Host. Please improve your strength as soon as possible so that you can summon more soldiers. The system will have more functions waiting for the Host to unlock later."

The students who had Awakened Back Spirit were brought into a venue, where many researchers in white lab coats were setting up the site.

"Let us wait a moment for the site's setup work to be completed."

The 89 students who had Awakened Back Spirit scattered outside the venue, their faces filled with joy.

"Yingzhou, at least you Awakened Back Spirit; you might even become stronger in the future! My Back Spirit is definitely a combat type; I wonder what kind of enhancements it will bring me." Bai Tao came to Yingzhou's side and patted Yingzhou's shoulder in consolation.

"It's fine, I'm already very happy now," Yingzhou said, watching the busy researchers on the field.

"Hm? How come I don't see it? We're close, you don't need to pretend to be strong in front of me." Seeing that Yingzhou did not show much joy about Awakening Back Spirit, Bai Tao put on an 'I understand you' expression.

At this moment, Yingzhou noticed Tan Xiaotong walking toward him. "Yingzhou, congratulations on Awakening Back Spirit. Why haven't you been contacting me much lately? It seems you've been putting in a lot of effort behind the scenes."

Yingzhou looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and slowly said, "Classmate Tan, I was always bothering you before. Now that you have Awakened a B-Grade Back Spirit, and I am merely a lowly E-Grade, we are not people of the same world. It is better if we interact less in the future."
