Chapter 234: Let the talent settle for a moment
Gregory stood there, momentarily dazed, as if transported back to a distant past.
“Awakened talent: F-grade [Pursuit of Knowledge], skill book effectiveness +1%.”
Time had passed, and he never thought he would see the day of a Second Awakening.
“Second Awakening talent: B-grade [Diligence Pays Off], each time a skill is used, its effect increases by 0.01%, up to a maximum of 20%.”
A B-grade talent!
According to human research on the Tower of Truth, the worst Second Awakening talent was still B-grade.
Clearly, Gregory’s luck was abysmal.
His first awakening was an F-grade talent, and the second was only B-grade.
His luck was truly terrible.
Despite having a B-grade talent after his Second Awakening, Gregory showed no signs of disappointment. Instead, he was full of fighting spirit.
“Even with just a B-grade talent, I can still become a Lord within 100 years… by the time the next potential Supreme Being emerges…”
Being able to achieve a Second Awakening and obtain a B-grade talent, Gregory was already very satisfied.
The future was up to him!
While Gregory was content and accepting of this result, it didn’t mean everyone else was.
Shadow Nine’s voice echoed in Mike’s ear, “Tell me, what talent did he awaken?”
“B-grade talent, Diligence Pays Off…”
For some reason, Mike’s voice trembled slightly.
Shadow Nine didn’t want to hear the rest.
After all the effort, manpower, and resources, even fighting an Archdemon,
and Gregory’s Second Awakening resulted in a B-grade talent?
Shadow Nine couldn’t accept this result!
The black mist churned, and a cold voice said, “Mars, let’s work together to slash him back and see if we can reset his Second Awakening.”
When it came to exploiting bugs, Shadow Nine had it down to a science.
Ares raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.
Is that even possible?
After a few seconds of thought, he nodded, “We can try, but he might die.”
Hearing the risk of death, Shadow Nine remained unfazed,
“No matter, if he dies, we’ll just say he failed the awakening. No one else knows anyway.”
If Gregory died, what did it matter to Shadow Nine?
Exploiting bugs was always worth it!

Ares thought the same.
“Alright.”
In just a few words, they were ready to slash the 60 level Gregory again.
Shadow Nine even called out to Cedric Blackwell,
“Come over here and hold your son down. It might hurt a bit, so make sure he doesn’t move.”
Cedric and Gregory: …
The Blackwell family seemed to have surprisingly little say in this matter.
Or rather, they had no say at all.
The scene descended into chaos.
Mike suddenly shouted, “Can you let me finish speaking?”
Mike was furious!
Do these old guys understand the value of an SSS-grade talent [Eye of Truth]?
The black mist churned, and Shadow Nine, while drawing his blade, coldly said, “Speak!”
All eyes focused on Mike, who hurriedly said,
“Professor Gregory’s talent can awaken a third time, with the condition being he must live to 800 years old.”
Everyone: ???
A third awakening?!
Eight hundred years old!
Without the [Eye of Truth], who the hell could guess such an awakening condition?
Even if they knew the condition, without Ares’ intervention, Gregory would have to endure another 400 years to achieve a third awakening!
Cedric Blackwell’s expression grew complicated.
His son’s talent seemed to be about longevity!
After a brief silence, Shadow Nine sheathed his blade and coldly said, “You decide.”
Slashing Gregory to 400 years old had already been a huge risk.
Eight hundred years old, the probability of Gregory surviving was extremely slim!
Almost simultaneously, Gregory was about to nod, agreeing to let Ares slash him again.
But Shadow Nine quickly interjected with a low growl, “Slash, I can keep him alive.”
The black mist spread across the ground, a shadow stretching long, and Shadow Nine was ready to act at any moment.
A sigh echoed from Ares.
“Sigh.”
Only Cedric Blackwell’s expression remained indifferent, as if he had anticipated this outcome.
If Ares’ swordsmanship could be noticed, he wouldn’t be the greatest swordsman.
The moment Thor mentioned the third awakening condition, Ares had already acted.
When Gregory reached 800 years old, the third awakening didn’t happen as expected.
The atmosphere was tense, oppressive, almost tangible.
Shadow Nine broke the silence, “Didn’t hit?”
“Let the talent settle for a moment.”
Wait.
Wait for the third awakening!
Mike suddenly had a feeling that this high-latency situation seemed familiar.
He glanced back, looking towards Earth.
There, a tower stood.
At the top of the tower lived a person.
Apollo.
…
Tower of Truth, ninety-ninth floor.
Apollo’s day was as dull as ever.
Meditation, contemplation.
Boring.
Suddenly, the Tower of Truth shook slightly.
Apollo raised his eyes, frowning, puzzled, “What’s happening?”
A voice echoed on the ninety-ninth floor, filled with questioning and even a bit of resentment.
“Apollo Lawson, your human race is insane, daring to do such a thing. Do you all want to be wiped out?”
“What did I tell you a hundred years ago? Have you forgotten?! Simultaneously awakening two SSS-grade talents, the sealed entity won’t be able to resist such temptation and will choose to awaken immediately! At that time…”
The voice was filled with great resentment and urgency.
Clearly, things had spiraled out of control, and the consequences were unacceptable.
The destruction would be unimaginable!
Now, everything depended on Apollo to resolve this tricky problem.
“Calm down.”
This was the first time Apollo had seen such a situation.
He closed his eyes slightly, thinking about what his instructor would do.
He thought of it.
Apollo raised his hand and grabbed a brush.
A line of text floated from the hundredth floor of the Tower of Truth, hovering before Apollo.
He held the brush in his right hand, and with a stroke, he erased an ‘s’ from a line of text.
SSS became SS.
“Done.”
Apollo looked weary, almost sleepy, and waved his hand.
“Go.”
Is that even possible?
The other party clearly didn’t expect Apollo to handle it this way!
It seemed… reasonable?
Leaving a final remark, the other party came and went in a hurry.
“Hmph, cunning fellow!”
…
Millions of miles away, Gregory, waiting for his third awakening, yawned, feeling a bit sleepy.
“At eight hundred years old, my energy isn’t what it used to be.”
At that moment, a lightning bolt streaked across the sky, thunder roared, and Professor Gregory achieved his third awakening!
“Third Awakening Talent: SS-grade [Serenity in the Mortal Realm].”
“Talent Effects: [Serenity], [Script of the Sages], [Arcane Vitality], [Spirit Shield], [Divination Mastery], [Diviner’s Keen], [Act at will], [Endless Arcana], [Realm Walker]… [Silent Sorcery].”
Looking at the prompt before him, Mike fell into deep thought.
Is there a possibility that Professor Gregory actually awakened an SSS-grade talent?
