277: Chapter 161 A New Awakener 277: Chapter 161 A New Awakener Brother Hero responded despondently with a sigh, feeling emptiness in his heart.
Zhang Xiao Man didnât dwell on this topic and instead turned to address the matter at hand.
He handed out two pieces of clothing to Brother Hero and Ye Cang, then said,
âThese are the Daring Clothes, made from a special material that keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer.
They are fire and water-resistant and are the exclusive uniforms of Star Alliance members.â
Seeing both of them fondly examining their clothes, he continued,
âThe green represents the Forest Guardians.
From now on, you will be part of the Forest Guardian Temple, which is one of the Three Great Sanctuaries of the Star Alliance.
I hope you will remember the name of this clothingâDaring Clothesâand live up to its honor.â
With those words, paired with the profound and stylish appearance of the Daring Clothes, both people in the hall felt a certain emotion stirring within them.
As for Brother Hero, he was an adolescent in the throes of a second adolescence and was now itching to go out and save the world.
Even Ye Cang was not immune to feeling stirred this time.
âAlright, you can wear these clothes when you get back.
They have a dust-proof ability and wonât get dirty easily; if you need to wash them, just give them a shake, and theyâll dry instantly.â
Zhang Xiao Man then confirmed the progress of material preparation with Mr.
Ye and continued,
âWell, thereâs nothing else for today.
In three days, I plan to conduct another round of the Enlightenment Ceremony here.
Eight new members will join us, and I will deactivate the shield at 9 am for 10 minutes.
Please make sure to teleport within that time frame.â
Afterward, Ye Cang and Brother Hero stayed a while longer on Rebirth Island, visiting the underground facility.
They had left too hastily on their last visit and hadnât had a chance to properly look around.
However, there wasnât much to see here.
Though Zhang Xiao Man had installed lighting equipment underground and there were a few tents and some essential living supplies, compared to the spacious environment, it all seemed rather meager.
Nevertheless, the two men werenât bothered.
The mere existence of a hidden underground space was enough to spark great interest.
Ye Cang was slightly more restrained, just sitting with Zhang Xiao Man in the particularly large prairie tent, talking about Dark Energy.
But Brother Hero didnât stop for a moment, his plump figure scurrying all over the small camp.
Tents, water supply, a planting area, a simple toilet, and everything else had been checked out thoroughly by him.
Even the two small diesel generators that Zhang Xiao Man had placed there had caught his attention for a while.
The three of them stayed until lunchtime before leaving, riding in an anti-gravity car and traveling over four thousand kilometers to Dragon Sleep Mountain, where they mooched a meal from Ye Cang.
As the potential base of the Star Alliance, Mr.
Ye had already started planning the layout of Dragon Sleep Mountain.
Many previously vacant rooms had been converted into guest rooms for resting, and there were even two new buildings under construction.

Meanwhile, in Su Zhuang at Qionghua City, Xiao Shun, Su Su Changqing, Yang Yangyang, and the other former members of the Light Blue, now the Light Blue Clan, were gathered in a lavishly decorated room discussing something.
âBrothers, Iâve got newsâBrother Man says the Enlightenment Array is all set up.
We can undergo our awakening in three days!â
The speaker was Xiao Shun, who was currently holding a smartphone and looking at a message on it, his face a mix of ecstatic shock.
Upon hearing this, the rest of them shouted excitedly, and for a moment, the room was a cacophony of noise.
Outside the door, Su Fu paused in the act of opening it, having clearly heard what the people inside had just said.
By his side, a little girl tugged on his clothing and asked curiously,
âDaddy?
Arenât we going in to see big brother and big sister?â
Su Fu picked her up and laughed, âNot this time, letâs go next time.
Big brother and big sister are having a happy moment, so letâs not disturb them for now.â
âBut what exactly is the happy event?
Do you know, Daddy?â
âItâs something very, very happy, big brother and big sister just had a wish come true.â
âAh!â The little girlâs face showed an expression of immense envy and she said, âThen can I also have a wish come true?â
Su Fu indulgently touched her head.
âWhat wish do you want, Kuangkuan?â
âI want to eat ice cream!
Two of them!â
âAlright, Daddy will also make your wish come true!â
âŠ
Inside the room, the cheering of the people finally began to die down.
Xiao Shun managed to calm his excited emotions and cleared his throat before saying:
âEveryone quiet down, quiet down.â
âJust now, Brother Man notified us of our Awakening, which means we have been fully accepted, and thatâs good news.â
âHowever, before this, as members of the Light Blue Clan, we still have one task we havenât completed, and that is the assessment task Brother Man has set for us!â
âWe are going to Awaken in just three days, and I hope everyone can complete the task perfectly before then, so we wonât disappoint Brother Man!â
After his long speech, Yang Yangyang, who was lying in bed, immediately propped himself up and replied:
âI agree.
The assessment task that Brother Man gave to our Light Blue Clan last time is now just one step away from completion.
Whether Li Xiang can pass the test or not will depend on this time!â
On his left, a clean-cut and refined-looking boy smiled slightly, then shook his head:
âI must say, you all really do go to great lengths.
These days there have been tests of courage, patience, and you even came up with a luck test.
I think youâre nearly playing that young fellow to death.â
From his chair, Hu Peng waved his hand and said:
âChangqing, youâre mistaken.
How can this be called playing?
We are selecting Awakeners.
Heâs going to join the Star Alliance and achieve transcendence!
Heâs going to be our comrade-in-arms, how can we be careless?â
Xun You joined in:
âExactly, exactly, Iâve checked, and all these are very necessary.
They can truly reflect a personâs real character, very effective!
And Li Xiang has been doing well.
Itâs just a pity about the compassion testâdespite my arrangement, he still didnât help the old lady who fell.
Otherwise, I wouldâve given him full marks!â
Ji Xiaoqi stopped scrolling through her phone, rolled her eyes at him and said irritably:
âWhat youâve got there isnât a compassion test, itâs a wealth test.
Only you could come up with something like that.
I still think Changqingâs statistical analysis is the most useful.
Observing and analyzing his daily life and behavior is the right way to truly understand a personâs character and fundamental qualities.â
Xun You countered: âWhat youâre talking about is just the basics.
Daily behavior can at most reflect a personâs living status, and the quality of someoneâs living status is largely related to their incomeâitâs too one-sided!
Although ours seem playful, they can further reveal his deeper qualities, which are most important!â
Xiao Shun concluded: âAlright, the preliminary tests we had at the beginning were just that, preliminary evaluations.
Now, letâs move the plan forward, and carry out the final test this afternoon.
If he can pass it, then we should have a new colleague soon.â
