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

At this moment, Sterl was communicating with Sosia and Sonis to check on the progress of the guild.

By the way, it was time to mobilize the power of the guild members to help him digest the various equipment, skills, and items he had obtained…

Sterl's goal was simple: to exchange for a set of third-class equipment of diamond grade or higher.

After all, he still had quite a few legendary-grade items on hand; even if their quality was a bit lower, achieving this goal was more than feasible.

[I have returned to the Hall of Valor. Please gather the players with business acumen or extensive connections that I mentioned earlier to help me exchange for some resources.]

After sending the message, Sterl opened the panel and confirmed that the newly learned platinum-level skill indeed had a plus sign behind it, and it wasn't just a forced point allocation symbol. A satisfied smile spread across his face.

His strategy had worked; he could redeem a low-tier usable platinum-level skill and gradually max it out step by step.

This way, he could essentially earn nearly 100,000 Valor Contribution Points for free.

What a win!

However, Sterl quickly frowned because he realized that several minutes had passed, and neither Sosia nor Sonis had replied to him.

Then, when Sterl chose to check their friend details, he discovered that both of them were showing as being in a combat state…

"They're still located within the Hall of Valor? Something must have happened!"

He waited for 10 minutes, then quickly located a teleportation array in the Assembly Hall corresponding to their positions and rushed over.

The reason Sterl took this action was that he had analyzed the situation.

If they were facing an enemy capable of crushing the sisters, the battle wouldn't last this long. This meant that their opponents might be strong but not excessively so.

As Sterl arrived, the world ahead dimmed and brightened, and he was teleported to the so-called combat zone of the Hall of Valor.

Just as Sterl took his first step, a prompt flashed before him—

[Please confirm whether to enter the Nightmarish Green Fields (PvP map). Upon entering this map, the treaty prohibiting mutual harm among Hall of Valor members will be lifted.]

Hmm?

Sterl paused for a moment.

"I understand this!"

"It's just a common battle map in online games, right?"

He wasn't worried at all and quickly selected 'Yes,' stepping into the map.

Sterl had confirmed that the enemies facing the sisters weren't likely to be excessively strong, and with the 'ascend to godhood' card up his sleeve, he certainly wouldn't back down.

"Next, I will be invincible!"

With great confidence, Sterl immediately activated Stardust, enhancing the effects of Shadow Stealth—

Boosting his camouflage ability.

Then, he proceeded with Shadow Stealth, exploring the area…

Cough, cough.

Confidence aside, he couldn't afford to lose the necessary caution.

Sterl spent about ten minutes finding the coordinates where Sosia and Sonis were located.

From a distance, he could already hear the sounds of shouting, fighting, and various bursts of energy.

Activating his Shadow Stealth ability, Sterl swiftly slipped into the shadow realm, bypassing the perimeter defenses set up by an unknown force.

Then, he took refuge in a tall tree and focused his gaze—

At this moment, on the battlefield, members of Sterl's guild were desperately resisting a double assault.

On one side stood a gigantic boss resembling a white tiger, covered in strange, glowing patterns. With every movement, it created fierce gusts of wind, and its claws could easily shred a player's defensive skills.

On the other side was a group of players, watching with a predatory gleam in their eyes. They didn't seem in a hurry to attack; instead, they taunted the guild members by constantly casting skills, forcing Sterl's players to face the boss's onslaught.

Seeing this, Sterl's brow furrowed even deeper.

The member limit for a level-one guild was one hundred. Aside from those who had passed the extreme trials earlier, Sterl had also authorized Sosia and the others to recruit high-potential talents.

Near the boss, there were already over eighty members of "Twilight."

This likely represented the entirety of the guild.

The reason they had gathered here became clear to Sterl through Star Insight, as he understood the white tiger boss's attributes; defeating it would yield significant guild contributions.

After all, who wouldn't want their SSS-level guild to rapidly increase in level? Everyone would benefit.

However, because of this…

"Twilight" was now in dire straits!

If they were wiped out, even with Sterl's abilities, it would be quite challenging to rebuild. Where would he find a group of highly talented players who hadn't joined any guilds?

Thinking of this, Sterl felt a flicker of irritation. Didn't this just slow down my development? Dammit!

On the battlefield ahead, most of the players attacking were of legendary level, all wearing cold smirks.

"Miss Sosia, Miss Sonis, we've shown our sincerity. Hand over control of the guild."

"Afterwards, the guild will still have seats reserved for both of you."

"Why struggle so hard?"

As they spoke, a glimmer of desire flashed in their eyes.

An SSS-level guild was rare in the entire Hall of Valor, with only a handful in existence. As for seizing control, it was nearly impossible; every 3-second-level guild had the backing of a deity. Yet here was a guild of this caliber composed entirely of newcomers?

Although the comments from players in this guild were rather understated, they couldn't avoid a chance encounter that led a high-level legendary player specializing in detection to uncover the buffs they had.

And just like that, a scheme began to unfold.

This newcomer guild did not want to clash with other guilds, yet they aimed to farm contributions from high-value bosses.

The high-level legendary player, who led an S-level guild, had cleverly arranged for his subordinates to deceive the entire Twilight guild into revealing themselves!

At this moment…

Unlike the other legendary players trying to persuade them to surrender, the high-level legendary player, as the guild leader, looked at Sosia and Sonis with a glimmer of greed in his eyes.

Besides the guild itself, the two sisters were also incredibly enticing. Not only were they beautiful and similar in appearance, but they were also powerful and highly talented.

In the game [Transcendence], mere beauty held little value; however, once a beauty possessed talent, countless men would flock to her. If one could tame such a beauty, they would gain not only pleasures in bed but also two extremely reliable allies!

Although this high-level legendary player had heard rumors that the guild was not actually led by the sisters but rather by someone behind the scenes, he had the ability to think independently and declared, "I don't believe it!"

Such a top-tier guild.

The guild leader could afford to neglect its management, disappearing for days while Sosia and Sonis called the shots.

Wasn't that absurd?

Even deities take their SSS-level guilds seriously; who were they to disregard it?

The only explanation was that the sisters had somehow obtained the materials to build an SSS guild but were too afraid to claim it as their own, fabricating the story that someone else was in charge.

"You seem to enjoy playing with tigers; let's see how much longer you can play," the high-level legendary player sneered.

After one failed attempt at persuasion, he was in no hurry to speak again.

His subordinates casually unleashed a few legendary abilities, plunging Sterl's guild into a dire situation.

A widespread psychic shock caused many to fall into a momentary state of control.

A bizarre Flame Ring forced members of Sterl's guild right in front of the boss.

Helplessly, among the many guild members, a few with innate talent had already broken through to legendary status and unleashed their legendary abilities, sending various dazzling lights towards the white tiger, forcing it to retreat momentarily.

In the end, Sterl's guild barely managed to hold their formation.

However, their morale remained extremely low.

"What do we do now? Can we ask the guild leader for help?"

"He's supposed to be mysterious and quite strong, right? Plus, he knows The Legend of the White Robe."

"Sosia, Sonis, say something!"

…

The players had come together due to vested interests, so loyalty was not a strong point; they incessantly questioned the sisters who were acting as the guild leaders.

Sosia and Sonis simply replied with cold faces, "The high-level legendary player might not be able to handle it; notifying the guild leader is useless."

Clearly, the two were determined to hold their ground until the end.

They had even calculated the gains and losses in a flash; even if everyone were to perish now, their master, Sterl, could still rebuild his forces under the banner of an SSS guild!

There was no need for their master to take risks!

"Damn! If you say that, then I might as well just surrender."

"Then what's the point of fighting?"

"Just give up, just give up."

…

At this moment, as morale crumbled, the original members of Sterl's guild began to push towards Sosia and Sonis, attempting to capture them and force a surrender…

However, their movements were not particularly swift.

One by one, they slowly approached with their stored powers.

The impression left by The Legend of the White Robe was too strong; at this moment, people faintly sensed that perhaps a turning point could occur.

Seeing this, the legendary players on the outside also leisurely withdrew their actions, ready to watch the show.

Only Sosia and Sonis remained as steady as a mountain.

In their eyes, nothing had changed; a total collapse was the best outcome.

In reality, Sterl had no intention of intervening, just as they thought.

"This is about not losing sight of the bigger picture; there may be hidden dangers…"

He squinted his eyes.

The high-level legendary player in front of him was hardly worth worrying about, as he had yet to reach the stage where legendary abilities could be transformed into Law Power.

Sterl could easily eliminate him.

But the problem was that among the strong players nearby, many had already reached the level of Kant Weir!
