NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 501: The Fourth Awakening
After some discussion, everyone finally decided to plant the Crystal Energy Poison Tree in an artificial lake not far from the research institute.
They originally wanted to plant it outside the Awakeners School or City Hall, but the Crystal Energy Poison Tree would excrete poisonous water, which ordinary people couldn't approach, so it was better to plant it in an open and unoccupied area.
After choosing the location, Gu Yun began to arrange for the environment to be dealt with—the water from the artificial lake would be drained, and the residents living in the area would have to be moved. This would all take time, yet the Crystal Energy Poison Tree would still take a few days to activate, which was enough time.
Once the matter of the Crystal Energy Poison Tree was settled, Gu Yun asked about building a nest for the Golden Eagle. It was icy and snowy outside, and many Ability Users in the base had nothing to do, so they could come to help, as the more people, the better!
Wang Tao thought for a moment and agreed. As for what kind of nest to build for the Golden Eagle, Wang Tao inquired about the Golden Eagle's preference, which was indifferent to its environment.
Since that was the case, Wang Tao let Ding Yuqin and the others go all out. As for himself... he was preparing to undergo his fourth Awakening.
Back home, once everything was ready, Wang Tao fused four Advanced Awakening Secret Keys.
Moments later, under the expectant gazes of everyone, Wang Tao opened his eyes.
"It worked!"
Wang Tao had always been lucky; a 70% chance of Awakening had never failed him.
Without going into details, Wang Tao promptly lay down on the bed and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
In his dream, Wang Tao found himself in a pure white space, devoid of flames or darkness, seemingly empty. But he could clearly feel his physical condition growing stronger.
"System Awakening..."
This result was pretty much what Wang Tao had anticipated, especially since his last Hidden Attribute was Body Strengthening which was related to physical enhancement.
Quietly enjoying this sensation of enhanced physical condition, Wang Tao gradually lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, it was a day later.
"Huh—"
Wang Tao opened his eyes; he had never felt so good before!
Whether physically or mentally, his condition was terrific!
Wang Tao clenched his fist, feeling the increased strength, which fascinated him.
It had to be said, his three previous Awakenings of the Fire System, Psychic System, and Dark Series were strong, but personally, none felt as satisfying as the System Awakening. The sensation of enhanced physical condition was incredibly exhilarating!
"Brother, you're awake!"
Hearing the voice, Wang Tao turned his head and saw Jiang Shixue sitting next to him.
"Little Xue, where are the others?"
Wang Tao was curious.
"They're all discussing building a nest for Xiao Jin. I don't understand that stuff, so I didn't join in... Should I call them over?"
Jiang Shixue asked.
"There's no need for that, let them be busy. It's just an Awakening; you can help me test it."
Wang Tao shook his head.
His Awakening this time was a passive System Awakening, which was relatively simple to test.
"Okay!"
Jiang Shixue immediately nodded, clearly interested in Wang Tao's fourth Awakening.
Wang Tao looked at his own blood bar.
[HP: 110000/110000]
[Mana: 150000/150000]
[Advanced Special Energy: 180]
[Awakening Secret Keys: 10]
[Advanced Awakening Secret Keys: 0]
[Level: Fifth Level]
[Awakenings: Starfire Prairie, Mental Development, Heart of Darkness, Steel Body]
[Awakening Energy: 6500/6500]
[Ability: Fireball, Explosion, Scorching Eye]
His Ability, Berserk Enhancement, was gone, replaced by the new Awakening, Steel Body!
[Steel Body: All Basic Attributes and spiritual power enhanced comprehensively, HP and Mana regeneration rates significantly increased, all negative status effects mitigated, all Basic Attributes slowly strengthen]
Seeing this new Awakening, even the experienced Wang Tao couldn't help but grin.
Most System Awakenings were passive types that increased Basic Attributes, and some of the better ones would add extra properties, like additional Strength or Defense.
Wang Tao's Steel Body belonged to the latter category—besides the comprehensive enhancement of Basic Attributes, it also added extra properties.
However, the additional properties he gained were more than any System Awakening he had encountered—additional spiritual power, increased speeds of Mana and Blood Regeneration, weakened effects of all negative statuses, and slowly strengthening Basic Attributes!
The Ability Fusion for Steel Body was Berserk Enhancement, which itself was a fusion of several Abilities, such as slow Mana regeneration in sunlight and slow Blood Regeneration on land.
But these properties were not very strong, especially for someone like Wang Tao with his HP levels; they were practically useless. He mainly relied on Jade Lotus, Ding Yuqin, and others for Mana and Blood Regeneration.
But now, with the new Awakening, Steel Body, his HP and Mana regeneration speeds had greatly increased!
One was "significant," and the other was "slow," clearly a difference, and probably a substantial one.
Then there was the "all negative status effects mitigated" ability, which sounded very impressive. For instance, those Frozen Zombies with a Freezing Aura—unless Wang Tao used Starfire Prairie, he would also be affected. But with this "negative status effects mitigated" ability, the effect of the Freezing Aura could be lessened!
Perhaps Wang Tao would no longer need to use Starfire Prairie and could directly withstand a Lord's Freezing Aura!
Moreover, this ability covered "all negative statuses," which includes Weakness, Bleeding, Poisoning, and the like, surely all could be mitigated.
