The Central Continent was ranked third among all the continents of the New Era. It was regarded as the most prosperous continent with human civilization. Its total area was 16,680,000 square kilometers, which was 1.6 times larger than the territory of the former Hua Xia Empire. It was several thousand kilometers long and had an extremely vast territory.
Within the Central Continent, there were a total of 3 major cities, 7 secondary cities, and a number of small cities. However, there were no human settlements below the level of a town. This was due to the fact that towns were simply unable to defend against the attacks of mutated life forms and dimensional beasts.
Lucky Wind City was one of the numerous small cities of the Central Continent. It was located at the extreme north of the Central Continent. The entire northern shore was connected to the sea. The geographical location was quite remote, the climate was cold, and the sea wind often blew. It was a small city that wasn't very prosperous, but Li Yunmu had settled down here.
On this day, all the high schools of Lucky Wind City welcomed batch after batch of returning students. Because today was the day when the results of the Higher Education General Exam would be announced!
At the same time, today was also a day where everyone's fate would be changed. Apart from returning to school to receive their results, the graduates also had to undergo another extremely important exam. People called it the "Flux Exam". It was also known as the "Dragon Gate Leap". Only on this day every year, if one could leap through this dragon gate, they would be like a dragon entering the sea and their future would be filled with boundless hope.
The Flux Exam, as the name implied, was actually a public test to test the awakening of flux energy. On this day, all the high schools of the Central Continent's cities would dispatch commissioners to carry out a strict examination.
Every graduate would have to face this day. Some would cry tears of joy, but even more would give up and accept their fate.
Because the dragon gate wasn't so easy to leap through. This wasn't just a test where one could only rely on hard work to obtain results.
Every time the Flux Exam was divided into three sections. Among them, as long as anyone had awakened a trace of flux energy before the age of eighteen, even if it was just a faint feeling, then they would be recommended to enter the army and become a soldier of War God. Because even if they hadn't truly awakened flux energy, as long as they could sense a trace of flux energy, they would be considered as a rare good soldier.
Li Yunmu's father, Li Zhongmin, was one such example. Strictly speaking, the status of the soldiers of War God System was much higher than that of ordinary soldiers.
The second line of demarcation was the half-awakened Flux Disciple. What was half-awakened Flux Disciple? In fact, it meant that they had awakened half of their flux energy. Usually, this kind of awakened Flux Disciple couldn't be considered as a genuine Flux Disciple, but they were more formidable compared to War God soldiers. Thus, half-awakened Flux Disciple would be recommended to the army and would be placed in the lower ranks of any officer. Their status was a notch higher than that of War God soldiers.
The third line was completely awakening, completely awakening to become a Flux Disciple. There was no need to say much about this position. Basically, they had already stepped into the privileged class of the Federation and possessed many benefits and privileges which far surpassed that of ordinary people.
"Ah Mu, you're finally here. Are you okay?" On the day of the Flux Test, Li Yunmu didn't have anything to do. Today, 99% of the students had come back to receive the results of the Higher Learning Exam and nothing more. Once Li Yunmu stepped into the classroom, his deskmate, Zhang Kai, hurriedly greeted him with concern.
These past few days, the matter of the Heavenly Cloud City's C Area Camp being attacked by dimensional beasts had spread to the entire class. After all, Lucky Wind City was only a small city in the northern border. The entire social circle wasn't large, so all the students in the class knew that Li Yunmu's father was a soldier of War God System.
Even if Li Yunmu stubbornly kept it a secret, many people would have received this information sooner or later, so he couldn't conceal it.
"I'm alright, my father was lucky enough to escape, so I'm fine." Li Yunmu shook his head, and under the strange gazes of his classmates, he returned to his seat. After these past few days, Li Yunmu had matured a lot. After his father's incident, he had changed a lot.
Slightly sweeping his eyes over the expressions of his classmates, pity, sympathy, secret joy, mockery, joy at his misfortune could be found everywhere. Li Yunmu saw all of this in his heart, but he didn't say anything. Perhaps, after today's graduation, the distance between him and them would only continue to grow further and further.
"It's good that your father is fine ….." For a moment, Zhang Kai didn't know what to say, he could only silently pat Li Yunmu's shoulder and inwardly sigh.
Next, the teacher arrived on time and announced the results of each person's examination.
Without any surprises, Li Yunmu's results were only ordinary, he could only be considered as a third-rate student. With this kind of results, if there were no accidents, then even if he left the school after graduation, he could at most become an ordinary logistician. It would be difficult for him to even get a low level management position.
If Li Yunmu's father hadn't met with an accident and was still a captain of the C Area Camp, then perhaps Li Yunmu would have some capital and could have entered the army. Even if he had accumulated enough wealth in the future, he could have spent some money to buy a dimensional crystal and become a flux energy perceptor, entering the War God System and becoming a soldier. But now ….. many of his former classmates were gradually distancing themselves from him.
Because everyone knew that since his father had escaped alone, it would be difficult for him to avoid being pursued by the military court. Moreover, after losing both his legs, it was basically impossible for him to turn the situation around.
"Let's go, don't pay attention to these people." Zhang Kai patted Li Yunmu's shoulder and dragged him outside.
"Kai Zi, I still want to stay behind and participate in the Dragon Jump." Li Yunmu said earnestly.
At the same time, a trace of emotion flashed through his heart. Seems like this brother's character isn't bad. After his father met with an accident and lost his only capital, at least he still has a good brother who sincerely treats him. This life can't be considered as a failure.
He didn't need many companions, even if he could only trust one of them, it was already a blessing in life. Only after experiencing the ups and downs of life could Li Yunmu understand this.
"Flux test? What test, it's not like we don't know our own worth. "Zhang Kai smiled bitterly.
"I want to try." For a moment, Li Yunmu didn't know how to explain it to his close brother. After all, the things he had experienced these past few days were really bizarre. Even if he told the truth, no one would believe him.
"Alright, although the result will be the same, it's also good to try. Let's go, I will accompany you." Under the flabbergasted gazes of their classmates, the two of them walked towards the residence of the Alliance in the higher school. Today, the Alliance would be sending a specialist to take charge of the flux test.
There were fifteen classes in the entire graduating class, but the number of people who would participate in the flux test wouldn't exceed a hundred. Because Lucky Wind City was a small city with a vile environment, there weren't many influential people or wealthy families here.
As for the ordinary people, they all had self-awareness and didn't want to join in and become a joke. If nothing unexpected happened this year, the number of people who could awaken flux energy should be few and far between.
"Quickly look, Li Yunmu surprisingly wants to jump through the Dragon Jump? Heavens, am I seeing things? When did he show signs of awakening flux energy? "
"Ha ha, he isn't afraid of losing face and is going to join in the fun, and you believe him? In my opinion, his father is in trouble and Li Yunmu is like a cornered dog jumping over a wall. "
"That's right, he is still naive enough to believe that the Dragon Jump is as easy as a cabbage. Anyone who wants to jump can jump." Most of the students in the class had a hint of ridicule on their faces. The most important thing for a person is to have self-awareness.
Although they were saying this, when everyone realized that Li Yunmu was determined to make a fool of himself, a small group of people really followed him. They wanted to see the final result.
The two of them arrived late. In the Alliance Club, the awakening test had already begun.
"Hey, isn't this Li Yunmu? Don't tell me that today you also want to participate in the flux energy awakening test? Ha ha, this is really a huge joke. "Once he entered, a familiar looking man ridiculed him.
According to Zhao Yunmu's memory, this person was called Qian Fei, the son of one of the few wealthy families in Lucky Wind City. Apparently, he had appeared here today because his father had used all of his family's wealth to help him obtain dimensional crystal energy.
Given his father's wealth, perhaps he wouldn't be able to use Qian Fei to become a fluxer, but using his money to become a flux energy perceptor shouldn't be a problem.
"Mind your mother's business, who in the Alliance stipulated that only you are allowed to participate in the test?" Zhang Kai angrily said.
Li Yunmu didn't pay attention to him. If it was in the past, he would have slapped him long ago. Regarding this kind of small city's wealthy family, in the Alliance, his authority couldn't even compare to his father's, so he didn't need to care about his father's mood.
