    At this step, they bid farewell to Novice Village completely and are about to enter a new area. Everything is unknown, and the gears of fate begin to turn. Many years later, when they think back to what happened today, they are still filled with emotion and sigh. Zhou Ya walked into the boundary wall, and suddenly a message came to her mind: The super awakened person has entered the world of super powers. The first generation strengthens the physical awakening, and the natal super powers are awakened. They are being matched according to your abilities, please wait. . . . . Your natal power is level 10 of clear wisdom. "Wow!" Zhou Ya walked out of the boundary wall with a look of disbelief on her face. "Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish," several other people also walked out of the boundary wall, all with expressions of disbelief on their faces. "What's going on? Tell me that a generation of bodies has awakened? That I am a super awakened person!" Bai Hua looked at the others suspiciously. "Me too! What kind of power do you have?" The fat man asked. "I'm level 9 with the power of Clone Youshu! What about you?" Bai Hua asked with a suspicious look on his face. "I am level 9 with incredible power!" Tieshan said. "I'm at level 8 Speedster!" Glasses Li said. "I am level 8 Miaoshou Renxin!" Tian Xin covered her mouth and snickered. "I am a level 9 peerless beauty!" Yan Danni smiled charmingly. "I am level 8 of Unyielding Iron Wall!" Fatty said helplessly. "I am a level 8 heroine!" Chu Ruonan said with a smile. A few people were silent for a while, and Zhou Ya said: "It seems that this is what the fox said. The gap between the awakened and the unawakened is indeed people from two worlds! He didn't say anything about the awakening of supernatural powers before. I guess he may not have powers because he is too weak and he is too proud, so he didn't say anything." "That should be the case! What should we do now?" Yan Danni asked. "How do we use this power?" Zhou Ya said. "Eh? When I thought about exerting force, why is my steel bar combination stick so light? It seems that I am much stronger!"
