Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener

The low-tier competitors who faced Sterl were quite sensible, all voluntarily conceding defeat...

Besides competing in matches, Sterl also took the opportunity to destroy four level 6 guilds, which was significantly easier than dealing with the Felix guild previously.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Hall of Valor was tense, with only one strong figure, David, remaining. Who would dare to offend him?

The last guild leader was well-informed; he knew that David was collecting guild cores to enhance Twilight. Thus, he willingly offered up his core and stated that he had no other demands—he simply wanted to secure a spot for himself in Twilight.

Sterl did a quick search and decisively recruited this guild leader into the guild—this was a case of spending a fortune to buy a bone!

This guild leader also had satisfactory combat power. By treating him a bit better, acquiring guild cores in the future should become significantly easier.

As for why Sterl didn't target the level 7 guilds, it was simply because he... couldn't find the guild leaders of those guilds. Experience new tales on m v|l e'-NovelBin.net

However, one of the level 7 guild leaders was among the previous 16 seed competitors, a quasi-divine.

After Sterl had slain him, the level 7 guild was handed over to the vice president, who then hid away in an instance and never came out.

Even if Sterl wanted to cause trouble, he couldn't find him.

Although he had obtained four guild cores to absorb and refine, due to the panic surrounding the disappearance of the seed competitors, the members of Twilight guild had all retreated to the arena and stopped farming bosses.

Twilight guild was still a bit short on the contribution points needed to advance to level 5.

And now, with the final battle of the Valor Combatants Tournament approaching—

Sterl stood expressionless in place, looking at the empty space in front of him.

Finally, the countdown reached zero.

[Notice: As one player has yet to attend this battle, the winner is David!]

[The final stage of the Valor Combatants Tournament has officially concluded!]

[Rankings will now be determined based on the winners' points, and the rankings have been generated.]

A brand-new leaderboard appeared.

David's name was naturally at the top, with a total of 31 points for a perfect victory!

Golden text illuminated before Sterl.

[Congratulations, Warrior! You have successfully overcome numerous challenges and defeated countless opponents to become the champion!]

[Your name will be transmitted throughout the Hall of Valor.]

[O mighty one, continue to climb to greater heights!]

[You have earned 50,000 Valor Contribution Points.]

[You have received 200 Law Insight Coupons.]

[You have received 4 Material Selection Packs.]

[You have received 4 Equipment Selection Packs.]

[You have received 1 Perfect Equipment Box.]

[You have received 1 Skill Selection Pack.]

[You have gained two opportunities to select from the Champion's Store.]

As he glanced at the flood of rewards streaming in, Sterl's pained expression finally eased a bit. Naturally, he couldn't just come out and say that he was responsible for the disappearance of all sixteen seed contestants. That would involve Inquire Withininstance and the elevation of Sterl's soul level. He certainly preferred to keep that under wraps.

The result of Sterl's silence was—over the past few days, the entire Hall of Valor had been shrouded in a strange atmosphere! Everyone was on edge. Sterl found it rather amusing. And without revealing the information that the seed players were already dead, Sterl could only keep stepping onto the battlefield, enduring the wait of more than an hour to secure victory.

Fortunately… Although the grand competition ended rather abruptly, Sterl's haul of rewards was far from small.

First, there were 50,000 Valor Contribution Points, which he decided to hold onto. At this point, Valor Contribution Points couldn't be exchanged for much—nothing that could significantly transform his situation. Sterl intended to use them only for some consumables and special items.

As for the Law Insight Tickets, they were of little use to Sterl. If he wanted certain Laws, unless they were of the precious kind, it would be much easier for him to activate [Consume] to devour them. If they were of the more cherished variety… well, unfortunately, the Hall of Valor didn't provide any scenarios for insights.

He sent all the Law Insight Tickets to Sosia's inbox, leaving a message asking her to sell a portion of the reserves for funding, while keeping the rest as guild benefits.

The material selection package, however, surprised Sterl greatly; he could directly select 3s-level guild materials, which he redeemed entirely. The equipment selection package offered decent items as well, allowing him to exchange for several excellent pieces of legendary demigod-level gear.

Unfortunately, Sterl had already stored up better equipment beforehand, so he couldn't find anything superior to what he had saved for later use. That too was left for Sosia to handle!

The [Perfect Equipment Box] was a delightful surprise for him.

[Perfect Equipment Box]

[Category: Consumable]

[Description: One of the blessings from the beings who once created the Hall of Valor.]

[Effect: Acquire one piece of the highest quality equipment (mythical level) from the lower realm, based on your current power level.]

[Hint: You can select the part of the equipment and make some vague requests regarding its attributes.]

[Hint: Divine level power is required to open this box; it can only yield quasi-divine level equipment.]

Looking at the effects of the item, Sterl felt a bit conflicted. If he opened this box while at the demigod level, he could obtain a top-tier mythical piece of equipment with a customizable part and effects, which would be the most perfect scenario! However, no matter how powerful Sterl became, he couldn't possibly gather a full set of mythical gear by the time he ascended to demigod.

On the other hand, if he opened the box at the divine level, while he would only receive quasi-divine level equipment, its value would likely be higher than that of demigod mythical gear. Still, Sterl thought that when he eventually became a god, he should focus on collecting a complete set of top-tier equipment. Obtaining a single piece of quasi-divine level gear would soon feel inadequate.

He concluded that it would be better to enhance his combat power further during the demigod phase and accelerate his growth. "Forget it, no need to overthink it. I'll deal with that after I become a demigod."

However, he pondered, "Mythical quality is merely the limit for lower realm equipment; do upper realm items have even higher standards?" This new piece of information was quietly noted in his mind.

Next came the skill selection package, which was straightforward—he could choose one Iridescent-Level skill as the champion's reward. It sounded impressive, but there were only four Iridescent-Level skills available in the selection package.

The first was [Rebirth of All Thoughts]. Sterl decided not to go for this one. The advantage of this Iridescent-Level ability was its balance of offense and defense. "I only need the defensive capabilities of Rebirth of All Thoughts."

The other three skills were as follows:

[Radiant Soul]: A semi-passive, semi-active buff skill. Its effect transformed all types of damage into Holy Spirit type damage and provided a significant boost to the success rate when comprehending and converting Holy Spirit divine authority. When activated, it allowed the user to shift into a radiant form, gaining substantial bonuses and various attack skills.

[Celestial Light Stream]: A purely destructive skill. Similar to Destructive Light, it delivered explosive damage output but was more oriented towards area damage. Although Sterl's current moves were all area-of-effect attacks, they didn't qualify as large-scale skills; the immense energy contained within only allowed them to hit enemies within a range of several dozen kilometers.

In contrast, activating

[Celestial Light Stream] could bombard targets over a distance of thousands of kilometers. This skill intrigued Sterl since he could imagine it synergizing with his Fission ability to create a bombing net.

[Beast Spirit Possession]: A straightforward effect that allowed the user to merge with their pet or mount, gaining attribute bonuses from that fusion. It seemed rather ordinary.

But Sterl immediately changed his mind; he decided against [Celestial Light Stream]! He wanted [Beast Spirit Possession]! This Iridescent-Level ability allowed for the fusion of pets and mounts, and the higher the quality of the fused creature, the stronger the power and the greater the benefits.

Sterl happened to have a 3s-level pet! Moreover, Sterl's current skill points could upgrade the [Star Radiance Dragon] to a level beyond radiant-level! However, the [Star Radiance Dragon] needed to first advance to demigod to be elevated to radiant-level, and then undergo soul transformation to rise above Radiant.

At the demigod level, the Star Radiance Dragon could smoothly ascend. As for soul transformation, once Sterl completed it, he would also enhance his pet. In the future, even at levels above radiant-level, Sterl could use his skill points to upgrade the Star Radiance Dragon. Therefore, among the four Iridescent-Level skills, [Beast Spirit Possession] had the greatest potential!

This skill would grow increasingly terrifying in power as the Star Radiance Dragon was enhanced. What about [Celestial Light Stream]? As a pure damage output skill, it would eventually be outdated.

By the way, the reason Sterl never used his pet in battles was mainly that the Star Radiance Dragon didn't possess the same cunning tactics as him, and as a third-class creature, it could only handle legendary-level enemies at most. Thus, this pet primarily served to provide a cute presence and share the skills obtained through Infinite Evolution.

After selecting the skill, a prompt appeared before Sterl:

[Warning: This skill originates from a former hostile faction of the Hall of Valor. As a captured item, no one in the Hall of Valor has successfully mastered it. This skill may require special release conditions, so please choose carefully.]

Sterl pretended not to see it and continued with his selection. He possessed the Holy Spirit Bloodline, and he could easily call upon the abilities of the lower realm!

Suddenly, a skill book shimmering with radiant colors appeared in his hand. Without hesitation, he chose to learn it. Another Iridescent-Level ability was added to his skill panel.

[Beast Spirit Possession (Iridescent-Level)]+

[Description: This is a skill that can only be mastered at the divine level, representing the product of a special Law Power evolved to its ultimate form.]

[Effect: You can fuse with your pet or mount, gaining 100% of their attributes and the divine authority rule power they possess, allowing you to use all their skills. When fusing with an SSS-level pet or mount, an additional effect is triggered, granting an extra 10% to your attributes.]

[Learning Restrictions: The divine authority of animals or strong correlation forms of divine authority pertaining to the fused pet (for example, fusing with a dragon can also be completed through divine authority: Dragonborn, divine authority: Dragonblood).]

[Hint: Unknown limitations may exist when activating this skill.]
