Chapter 49 Attempt at Evolution by a baldy
49 Attempt at Evolution by a baldy
In the Awakening Ceremony area. The risen white flag was wet and the surroundings also had little puddles. But as the time for the continuation of the ceremony approached, people started to crowd the area one by one.
This monthly event was held not only for the younglings to Awaken but also for the adults to mingle with each other. Starlight Family was a big Clan, having more than 500 people under its banner. But its solidarity among the people was weak.
Many people didn't even know each other. So this event was one in which kids could get to stand out among their peers and Strong could properly set their hierarchy. This was where they planted the seeds of respect in people's minds. If on such a day, an outsider makes an issue, they will be killed and risen on the white flagpole to show the might of the higher-ups.
The times when the flag had become red weren't low.
Even though the clan's history barely went to one century and some years, it wasn't to be underestimated. Especially when at its helm was a Cultivator at the 4th Stage of Cultivation — Power Birth.
As Han Li, his mother, and his fiancee stood in an inconspicuous corner and looked towards the stage. One by one, the people about to go through their third Awakening were going upstage and soon, there were 3 people aged exactly 18 on stage.
A man in white clothes, his face radiating the energy of youth and his long black hair cascading toward the ground stood behind them. He seemed like the picture of a mature man that women would dream of in their poetic dreams. His casual white robes flying in the wind.
But Han Li wasn't focused on such things. He looked at the man's black eyes that seemed like the night sky. The way he casually stood there with a gentle smile.
There might be idiots at the Awakening Stage and Evolution Stage. But if any person, no matter who, could stand on the lands as a Stage 3 Power Born individual, he would be a force to reckon with.
Han Li especially knew what this man was capable of. He had once saved him in a desperate moment when the Raven Clan head had attempted to murder him after he hot-bloodedly killed the Evolved, Kevin Raven, in his previous life.
This man was quite strong, Starlight Head Li Xingguang. But Han Li didn't care if he was a saint in his past life. For now, he only looked at his whole body and wondered, 'Is he as strong as me when I reached the 4th Stage?'
It was rather improbable since he had the Sword of Life and also a wide arsenal of powers at his disposal.
Yue Li said from the side, "When I first saw this chief, I was very afraid. I was so~ nervous when I had to have my Third Awakening… I succeded in the end though."
Even though she failed her Evolution some days later.
Han Li nodded and looked at Liyue.
She looked at the stage and said, "I had mine two weeks ago…But I was not really nervous since I didn't care if I failed. But since I succeeded anyway, I don't plan to try Evolution anytime soon."
Han Li pondered but nodded regardless. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
As they were in the middle of this discussion, the two men and one woman started their Third Awakening. Unlike the earlier children, they had confident faces, and as Li Xingguang guided them from the back, they gently made their Spark go out of their empty space and into the outside world.
All of them were white with a tinge of gold and they were all the size of a baby's fist. Except one of the young men who had a two-baby-fist-sized Starlight Spark.
It was just a baby fist size away from High-Level talent in either body or soul. But he was not that lucky, but not totally unlucky either.
If he evolved, his empty Space would be 4 Meters in diameter. That was better than average.
Just at Han Li's current level.
After having sex with his mother yesterday, he had once again absorbed a bit more Energy and that had once again, made his Cultivation Talent as a whole rise.
For now, he could see 2 meters around himself if his Spark was turned on. Two or three more days of fun with her and his Talent should barely fit the High Level.
But that would only be in one of the two talents, Body Cultivation talent since all the energy he absorbed was from her body instead of soul. To make them both High and Fuse them into Sacred Talent was the harder part. It would need soul energy and for that, he needed to…
As Han Li was deep in thought, the three went down the platform with happy smiles and a new person went up. This person was a man with fair skin and a bald head.
Reaching the center of the platform, he nodded to the head of the clan and bowed to the audience. Then somberly sat cross-legged on the stage.
Most of the crowd bowed back in return and wished for good fortune. While the Clan Head spoke for the first time. "In all of our years as a Clan, we had barely had 11 people at the 2nd Stage of Cultivation, Evolution, Young friend Li Yun, I hope you succeed."
Li Yun took a deep breath and nodded. If he succeeded, his lifespan would increase and his status would change drastically. If he failed, he would have to live with a painful disorder of some form that he had no control over.
Yue Li, Liyue, and all the others started to feel nervous and their hands clenched in support. If this person succeeded, it would be like breathing fresh air into the clan.
Han Li, on the other hand, was calm. His gem-like red eyes shining in its calmness.
