Luo Fei not knowing about Symbionts is quite normal; after all, she was imprisoned shortly after joining the Awakening Association, and even Chengyang City's He Zhan and others were unaware of this group of Symbionts.
But her saying she's not an Awakened is rather bewildering!
Although Wu Liang is not an Awakened, he has learned the specific details about Awakened Abilities from official archives.
From the contents of the world's first Awakened's archival records to the current Awakened profiles (official documents recorded those Awakened, rather than Yao Qingxue, the true first Awakened in essence).
Everything is well-documented, and all Awakened individuals can sense their awakening the moment their abilities manifest.
It's like a person consciously performing actions like "gripping", "clenching", or "slapping" while awake, and they would certainly be aware of what they're doing.
Once awakened, the effects of the abilities imprint naturally into the brain, like breathing.
