Jacques opened the car window, felt the wind blowing across his face, and thought of a word in his heart: "The eight winds of source energy".

Jacques' thoughts go back to the basic course of source energy when he first entered the public school a few years ago: "The eight winds of source energy are said to be that source energy appears in our world like wind. Source energy has eight attributes: fire, water, air, soil, nature, light, darkness, and chaos. Everyone can perceive source energy like wind, and animals and plants will also be.

Eight attributes are combined into source energy. A awakened person and energy shaping person can master one attribute of source energy, and a master who masters two source energy attributes can utilize one quarter of the source energy. An awakened animal and plant are called alien beasts and spiritual plants.”

"Hey, teacher, I'm sorry for you. I made you lose money in yesterday's bet." Jacques felt a little guilty.

After the founding of the empire, Emperor Xizar established public schools in various cities and townships. The children of ordinary people could study literacy, writing, mathematics and source energy foundation in public schools as long as they paid a very low fee. Popular education could give ordinary people greater opportunities to become extraordinary people, while noble families and wealthy classes would choose private teachers or private schools.

In every city with octaves, the most important day of the year is the awakening day on September 1st. On that day, teenagers over 12 years old in the city and surrounding areas can undergo testing in front of the octave. Those who pass the test will have the right to enter the octave to participate in the awakening ceremony, awaken the source energy attributes, and enter the first stage of extraordinary: the awakened one.

The children of nobles do not need to participate in the test. They can directly participate in the awakening ceremony with the recommended quota enjoyed by the family for generations. The quota that their own children can use for endless quota, and the nobles can give the children of their servants as an incentive or sell it to the wealthy upstart class.

A young man who becomes an awakened person through rituals will be qualified to enter the Yuan Energy Academy. The content of the Yuan Energy Academy is the skills, knowledge and fighting methods of extraordinary people. Whether aristocrats, wealthy classes or civilians, they are all promoted to the realm of the energy shaping person through the college's education.

With his cute smile, smart mind and strong body, Jacques Renault has always been the top student in the public schools in the Pier District.

The teachers believed that with Jacques' talent at the age of 12, they would definitely be qualified to participate in the awakening ceremony and become an extraordinary person. If he was born in a noble family, perhaps the family would find ways to inspire him to awaken before he was ten years old. In addition to the source energy skills passed down by the family, the nobles also had many secret skills about source energy.

But the teachers did not know which source energy attribute he would awaken. For this reason, the teacher took the banker and several young teachers with the identity of source energy awakeners opened a bet with a gambling amount of up to two silver coins.

After careful calculations, the mature math teacher said: "Given that Xiao Yak has not shown any attributes, Lao Renault is an ordinary person who does not awaken the source energy attributes, so in addition to the Chaos System, he may awaken the other seven-type source energy attributes. One-seventh probability! I will not let my two silver coins take risks! 500 Rioer, I can only suppress so much!" He put five banknotes on the long table in the teacher's room. "500 Rioer is equivalent to half a silver coin, I suppress Xiao Yak's awakening the source energy attributes of Qi!"

Jacques fell on the seat of the steam car and recalled the long yesterday in the bumpy and rolling car.

Yesterday, September 1st, the annual source energy awakening ceremony finally came.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, boys and girls over 12 years old in Musai City and surrounding areas gathered at Mirror Square. The Musai Port Obelisk, much smaller than the Imperial Capital Obelisk, stood in the middle of Mirror Square.

The Obelisk is the tallest building in Musai Harbor, standing in the center of the inner city, the Earl's Mansion, the Extraordinary Guild, the Academy, the Military Barracks, the villas of the countryside nobles, and the residences of the rich are all built around the Obelisk.

More than 700 students from the public schools in the dock area lined up in a square array in the prescribed area, and Jacques also looked at the towering octave with his toes. The fate of tens of thousands of teenagers from civilian families in the square will be decided under the tower.

After the city lord Earl Baptiste completed a lengthy and boring routine speech, the extraordinary people who served in the Obelisk opened the passage in front of the entrance of the Obelisk. Two source energy light gates that used precious source stones to maintain the formation were lined up in front of the entrance.

The teenagers need to pass these two source energy light gates with only one person in a row to enter the octave to participate in the awakening ceremony, so a winding team appeared in the mirror square.

This is a tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years. It is said to be a source energy equipment invented by the founding emperor Xisar. People with potential can be selected to participate in the source energy awakening ceremony of the octave to avoid precious opportunities being wasted by the incompetent.

The first red source energy light gate is called the potential gate. Those with insufficient potential cannot pass. Every year, more than 60% of the testers are blocked by invisible forces. 12 years old is the most suitable age for awakening. The older you are, the more you will be judged by the potential gate as insufficient potential.

Even if a young man who passes the potential sect does not participate in the awakening ceremony of the minaret, he can enter the extraordinary level of awakening after several years of practice or taking expensive breakthrough medicine. Relying on accumulation to slowly break through, he will miss the fastest progress years, which is much behind the young man who wakes up after the ritual.

Rich people will choose a more secure way to buy the awakening quota of the minaret instead of breaking through the secret medicine. Those with insufficient potential generally cannot awaken to become extraordinary people in this life, and can only be an ordinary person.

The passers-by continue to line up, and Jacques, who easily passes through the potential gate, moves slowly with the team. The loser is taken away from the side and returns to the area where they begin to wait.

In front is the second source energy light gate. This blue light gate is called the ritual gate. No one knows what conditions set up by Emperor Xizar in the ritual gate. Those who can pass are qualified to enter the minaret to participate in the source energy attribute awakening ceremony, and after awakening, they are qualified to enter the Source Energy Academy.

Jacques passed the ritual gate test again. Given that the only one of Eve Academy in the Port of Mussae ruled by Eve Academy, the Eve Academy, was the student of Eve Academy.

Less than 50 teenagers from the dock area public schools passed the ceremony gate, Jacques and the students who passed entered the octave together.

The teenagers who passed the Potential Gate but failed to pass the Ritual Gate did not return to the Mirror Square. They were taken to the Superman Guild next to the Obelisk, trying to pass another path, contract awakening, and qualify for the ceremony, but they lost the opportunity to enter the academy.

In the guild hall, the teenagers were asked to fill out a resume about family situation, school grades, and career intentions. After the guild deacons collected resumes, they arranged for the teenagers to enter different rooms for interviews. The interviewers came from upstart classes such as factory owners, traders, ship owners, etc.

After the two parties reach an intention, they will sign a contract under the witness of the deacon of the guild. The employer will pay a silver coin to the guild of the Superman to purchase the qualifications for the employed teenager to participate in the awakening ceremony. After that, the teenager will work for the hiring of the hiring for a lower salary for several years. The Superman will play the role of the supervisor of the performance of the contract in the transaction.

For children with potential origins from civilian families, although they cannot enter the academy to achieve better development, being able to become an extraordinary immediately will also change the fate of the entire family. On the other hand, this transaction is also a good deal for the upstart class with a low-level background. This is much cheaper than hiring a young extraordinary person directly. If this low-priced employee grows into a stylist during the employment period, it will be even more profitable. If the relationship between the two parties gets along well, they may become long-term employees or partners.

The Superman Guild was noisy at this time, and the contract had to be signed before the ceremony began. The closer it was to the time when the ceremony began at 2:00 pm, the more demanding the conditions proposed by the employer. The beautiful girl, the strong boy and the child who showed certain specialties were snatched away as early as the first round, and the child who held the letter of introduction obtained at home was also signed by the employer who issued the letter of introduction.

The remaining teenagers faced more harsh contract conditions. Jacques' neighbor, Sami Gillet, was among them. He wanted to be a seaman, but no ship owner was willing to sign a 15-year standard contract with him, and Sami was unwilling to sign a contract that lasted longer or had a lower salary.

While Sammy was still anxiously waiting for his contract in the guild of the Supernatural, Jacques was sitting cross-legged in the hall on the first floor of the minaret, closing his eyes to meditate.

As soon as he entered the minaret, Jacques felt the abundant source energy surrounding him, stimulating his skin and entering his body with his breathing. Jacques thought that such a good environment cannot be wasted, so make more preparations. Jacques adjusted his mood, closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, and used the basic principles of learning in public schools to feel the eight winds of source energy.

The hall on the first floor of the octave is extremely large, with countless colorful light spots hanging above their heads like stars, illuminating the entire hall. The walls and ceiling are black, as high as the night sky, with only white stone floors extending towards the surroundings, like colorful stars hanging in the sky illuminating the white earth under your feet. Thousands of boys and girls are standing or sitting in this strange hall, waiting for the beginning of the ceremony.

"Brother Jacques!" The crisp girl's voice interrupted Jacques's meditation in communicating with Yuan Energy. When he opened his eyes, a small girl squeezed out of the crowd and ran towards him.

The girl's long chestnut hair was tied into two strands of trickle, wearing beige cloth skirt and black leather shoes, ran to Jacques. Her delicate little face was filled with joy and said, "Brother Jacques, I passed the test too!" The girl took a deep breath to calm down and looked up at Jacques, her big blue pupils flashed.
Chapter completed!
