Chapter 1432: Chapter 595 News of the Giant Zombie

“!!!”

Hearing Wang Tao say that there was a high probability he would awaken, Xu Quan’s eyes widened. He found it somewhat hard to believe. After all, this was awakening!

At that time, their team had gathered a thousand people, and out of these thousand people, only two awakeners emerged, and until now, no new awakeners had appeared.

Those two awakeners were Yan Guoyi’s brother and sister-in-law.

They had all discussed it back then; Yan Guoyi’s brother and sister-in-law also had no idea how they had awakened, it just somehow happened.

It seemed that awakening was related to luck; if you were lucky, you’d awaken after a sleep, but if not, you might never awaken in your lifetime.

And only by awakening could one ascend to Level 4. Ability users could at most reach Level 3… So, in their eyes, awakening was something very mysterious and prestigious.

Now Wang Tao was saying that Xu Quan had a high probability of awakening?

If it were someone else saying this, Xu Quan would definitely think it was to comfort him, but this was Wang Tao speaking!

Wang Tao was so strong and must have seen much, probably having a better understanding of awakening. Since Wang Tao said so, the credibility…

Xu Quan felt his heartbeat quicken, but he knew that the greater the hope, often the greater the disappointment. So he didn’t dare to get too excited, he just spoke with a slight tremble:

“Mr. Wang, please, don’t joke around, how could I possibly become an awakener. I’ve been at Level 3 for more than two months now, if I could’ve awakened, it would’ve happened already…”

The others also looked at Wang Tao with disbelief.

They didn’t really believe Xu Quan could become an awakener either, but they were very much hoping he could, because their base currently didn’t have a single awakener. If they encountered some Lord Monsters, they would have no way to contend.

“How is it? Don’t believe me?”

Wang Tao raised an eyebrow.

“…It’s not that I believe in myself.”

Xu Quan gave a wry smile.

“Well, you need to have confidence!”

Wang Tao patted Xu Quan’s shoulder, then addressed everyone:

“To awaken, you need to meet three conditions. After satisfying these three conditions and obtaining an Awakening Key, there’s a chance to awaken. Of course, awakening isn’t a hundred percent successful, but as long as you try a few times, you’ll eventually succeed.”

Upon hearing Wang Tao’s explanation, everyone’s breathing instantly became more rapid. Yan Guoyi quickly asked:

“Mr. Wang, what are the three conditions? And what is an Awakening Key?”

Wang Tao didn’t hide anything, he explained in detail.

“The three conditions are: one, own strength must reach the Third Order Peak; two, all abilities must be upgraded to Level 4; three, possess a Hidden Attribute… As for the Awakening Key, you can get one by personally slaying a creature of Fourth-Order Lord Level or higher…”

Yan Guoyi and the others had never heard of these before, and now after Wang Tao’s explanation, they expressed how eye-opening it was.

“So you’re saying there’s a chance to awaken, you mean…”

Xu Quan asked, struggling to contain his excitement.

“Your strength is already at the Third Order Peak, and you also have Hidden Attributes. But you haven’t slain a Level 4 Lord, right? So now you’re just missing an Awakening Key. Perhaps your abilities haven’t reached Max Level, but that’s not a problem, crystal cores will do.”

Xu Quan’s HP had already reached 100,000, but from his mana limit, he seemed to have four abilities, none maxed out. Special Ability Level was quite simple, only needing some Level 3 Crystal Cores and a few Level 4 Ascension Crystal Cores. Awakening Keys were also easy to handle, the main thing was the Hidden Attributes…

“I have Hidden Attributes!”

Xu Quan clenched his fists tightly, nearly jumping up.

Wang Tao had just mentioned, Hidden Attributes were the key to becoming an awakener! Without Hidden Attributes, there was basically no chance of awakening in this lifetime.

And Xu Quan could tell from Wang Tao’s previous words that he seemed to have Hidden Attributes! However, he never considered himself to be a lucky person, so he was still somewhat skeptical. Now that he heard Wang Tao himself saying that he had Hidden Attributes, the excitement Xu Quan had been suppressing could no longer be hidden; he was after all only fifteen years old.

After the shock, Yan Guoyi and the others looked at Xu Quan with excitement.

They felt that Wang Tao probably didn’t need to lie to them about such things, so it was very likely that Xu Quan truly had Hidden Attributes! If Xu Quan really could become an awakener, then it would be greatly beneficial both for Xu Quan himself and for the entire base.

However, having Hidden Attributes was not enough, Xu Quan still lacked in Special Ability Level and an Awakening Key. And that required hunting a Fourth-Order Lord Zombie!

Yan Guoyi clenched his teeth with a determined look in his eyes, saying to Xu Quan:

“Xu Quan, rest assured, on behalf of our base, I declare that the base will spare no effort in helping you become an awakener! Isn’t it just slaying a Fourth-Order Lord Zombie? All of us together can definitely kill a Fourth-Order Lord Zombie!”

After Yan Guoyi finished speaking, the other young men and women also nodded eagerly.

“Yes! Xu Quan, I’ll help you!”

“I will, too!”

“…”

Seeing that everyone was willing to help him unconditionally, Xu Quan felt his eyes welling up with tears.

This wasn’t just casual help; this was potentially life-threatening!

Plus, this was to assist in his own awakening, so he himself couldn’t die. If there was truly an irresistible danger, the others would surely die before him…

Xu Quan subconsciously wanted to refuse, but looking at Yan Guoyi and the determined eyes of his younger brothers and sisters, he couldn’t muster the words to refuse. Because his awakening wasn’t just for his own benefit, but also for better protecting the entire base. Since he had a chance to awaken, he must seize this opportunity; otherwise, it wasn’t just letting himself down, but all his brothers and sisters!
