Chapter 319: Everyone should have the right to choose their own destiny, even if fate isn't fair



Mike pondered, "Can Ace's talent still grow if he fights someone with an F-tier talent?" [Yes]

The Eye of Truth provided a prompt.

[Defeating a talent of the same tier can also lead to growth.]

[Ace's F-tier talent is essentially F-, the lowest grade.]

[Gregory's F-tier talent is essentially F, the middle grade.]

"I see."

Mike suddenly realized, "So my talent is actually SSS-, the lowest grade. No wonder it's so lame."

Thanks to the Eye of Truth, the mystery that had been plaguing Mike was finally solved.

[You're wrong, it's actually an SSS+++ talent. It's just that my power hasn't fully awakened yet!]

As Mike argued with the Eye of Truth, Ace was the first to finish his talent growth.

However, Ace still didn't know the specifics of his talent.

He could only look at Mike, who generously took out a pen and paper and wrote it down for him.

Mike was counting on Ace to make money!

Every time Ace's talent grew, it was an opportunity for a high-quality short video.

It could fetch at least 600,000 Lord merits!

And out of that 600,000, Mike would get a full 600,000!

Mike considered explaining Ace's talent as a bonus service.

Talent: I Want to Be the First (C-tier)

Talent Effects:

Fearless: When facing enemies with a higher talent tier, damage +15%.

Courageous: When facing enemies with a higher level, all attributes +15%, damage taken -15%.

Bully the Weak: When facing enemies with a lower level/talent tier, all attributes +50%, damage +50%, damage taken -50%.

By the end of writing, Mike had question marks popping up all over his head.

He looked at Ace with disdain and contempt.

Good lord, this guy had truly mastered the art of bullying the weak and fearing the strong!

Mike never expected that Ace would not only inherit Calderon's bad temper but also his bullying tendencies!

What a load of crap this [I Want to Be the First] talent was. It should be called [Bully the Weak, Fear the Strong] instead!

When facing high-level, high-tier enemies, Ace would enter Fearless and Courageous mode. But as soon as he encountered a pushover, he would become a completely different beast!

This talent was purely for crushing weaker opponents.

That being said, Mike realized something else.

"Ace, isn't your talent a bit too overpowered?"

Although currently labeled as C-tier, the actual strength of [I Want to Be the First] had already surpassed B-tier!

Mike wouldn't even bat an eye if someone called it an A-tier talent!

Ace snorted coldly, not bothering to explain anything to Mike.

As far as he was concerned, the lower the tier of his talent, the greater the room for growth!

Once [I Want to Be the First] reached SS-tier, Ace would be the true "First" among all talents except for SSS-tier!

Almost forgot, Maxen didn't count.

Ace knew very well that even if his talent was fully grown, he wouldn't be a match for Maxen at the same level.

As they finished up, there was new movement from Cain.

After his talent growth, he immediately fainted and passed out.

Suddenly, Calderon's body erupted with light, instantly becoming the most dazzling target in

the vicinity, attracting the attention of countless demon creatures.

This was how they ended up in this sorry state of being hunted down.

Shadow Nine, shrouded in black mist, suddenly asked, "Calderon, can you still use your

talent?"

Calderon frowned, thought for a moment, and nodded. "Yes."

"Then die!"

Shadow Nine slashed down with his blade, instantly inflicting a near-fatal wound on

Calderon!

Near-Death Power Up!

Calderon's aura surged from rock bottom to its peak, and in an instant, he unleashed

countless punches, obliterating all the demon creatures on the spot!

After dealing with the demon creatures, Calderon entered a period of weakness. Shadow Nine supported him and quickly left, lest more demon creatures gathered.

Inside a hidden cave, Calderon's breathing was weak, his injuries slowly recovering, his entire

being incredibly drained.

The Near-Death Power Up had a side effect: a prolonged period of weakness.

However, don't even think about taking advantage of this opportunity to attack Calderon.

Although his talent had a side effect,

it had no cooldown!

As long as Calderon's will was strong enough, he could activate Near-Death Power Up

indefinitely!

"Shadow Nine, what are you up to?"

Calderon regained some of his strength, his face full of pride. "That kid I left on Earth, he's

already achieved his first talent growth. Making me proud..."

Ignoring Calderon's boasting, Shadow Nine fiddled around for a while and finally assembled a

radar.

Shadow Nine explained,

"The latest antenna developed by the Mystic Market. They say there's a chance it can connect

to the Mystic Market's cloud app even in the Supreme Abyssal. It's just a bit unreliable..."

"They have such amazing things now?!"

Calderon exclaimed, "After being dead for so many years, technology has advanced so much. I feel like I can't keep up with the times."

As they were talking, the screen in Shadow Nine's hand lit up.

"It's connected!"

Both of them perked up, their heads huddled together in front of the screen, staring at the

familiar Mystic Market interface.

"Wait, what's this?"

Shadow Nine swiped his finger across the screen and clicked on a title:

[Rare Footage of Calderon's Early Battle Against a D-tier Talent (1 Silver Coin Added per

View)]

What an interesting title.

Let me see!
