Chapter 267 ’Path’ to Spiritual Ascension! Part-5.

Chapter 267 'Path' to Spiritual Ascension! Part-5.

As Lia's rank rose to the next level, a massive tornado of condensed mana appeared around her, just as it usually does when an A-ranker or above-level individual ascends.

As Rio had witnessed this type of sudden ascension before, he wasn't caught off-guard, and he directly jumped away to make some distance.

If it were normal, Ashtel and others would have arrived by now, but currently, they are prohibited from leaving the VVIP area until the tournament concludes.

This rule was made so that none of the SS-rankers try to do anything shady to make their candidates win; after all, a fair and square competition is the key to improvement.

As a result, aside from a few A-rankers who were on patrol duty, no one else came to watch Lia ascend.

But still, with the amazing detection capabilities of the SS-rankers, they could all sense her ascension from far away.

...

VVIP Area.

Ashtel glanced in the direction of the mana tornado, and a smirk appeared on his face.

"Haha, this is it... The real benefits of this tournament are already showing; after going through an intense battle, that girl Lia seemed to have gained a lot of experience..."

Ryul also nodded his head at Ashtel's words and spoke in a calm voice.

"Yeah, she ascended to the next rank after going through the baptism of an intense battle; the purpose of participating in this tournament has been achieved..."

Gradba and others also congratulated Ashtel and Jin on the appearance of another monster in Team Astra.

Ashtel nodded his head and spoke in a confident tone.

"She became a B-ranker around the final exams, and now she has reached rank A in a much shorter time frame... This is indeed a pleasant surprise.

Originally, Lia's maximum talent potential was only S-rank, so her improvement speed was much slower when compared to Rio and others.

However, after she awakened Kai as her familiar, she repeatedly enhanced her talent, and her rate of improvement equaled Liam's, only falling short of Link and Rio.

Now Lia can be considered one of the few most talented people in this world.

And with Kai as her familiar, she's nearly undefeatable in the same realm.

Unaware of the storms she had created, Lia was currently floating inside the gigantic mana tornado.

Her eyes were shut tight, and she was focused on herself at the moment.

Mana was strengthening her body as her rank was improving.

...

Lia's plane of consciousness.

"Hmm, this place is-"

Just when Lia felt a bit confused while standing in this unending void, Kai's figure appeared in front of her.

"This is your plane of consciousness, the same place where we first met... This is the place where you awakened me, Kiddo... No, I should call you Master Lia now..."

Upon hearing that, Lia giggled slightly and remarked,

"That sounds so weird. You sound better when you use 'kiddo' to talk to me; you should continue using that..."

Kai nodded his head at Lia's words and continued.

"Well, if you say so... By the way, it seems you have finally figured out your true self... The talent that you subconsciously suppressed in your childhood seems to have started resurfacing."

A confused look appeared on Lia's face after hearing those words, and she asked in a doubtful tone,

"Divine Spirit General, thanks for your help... I am forever indebted to you..."

Kai simply smiled at those words and nodded his head.

"Haha, it's my pleasure to be familiar of someone as talented as you... Lia, 'The Silver Dawn'..."

With that title bestowed upon her, Lia left the plane of consciousness.

...

[Ding! Congratulations! You have ascended to rank 'A-'!]

[Ding! You have conquered the darkness! Your soul has been strengthened significantly!]

[Ding! Miasma and corruption will be greatly suppressed by your mere presence, as you have already conquered the darkness of this world!]

[Ding! Your ability to control the divine spirit's mana has improved greatly!]

[Ding! All conditions met; your suppressed talent has been reawakened fully!]

[Ding! You have awakened the legendary rank talent 'Absolute Precognition!']

The mana tornado around Lia finally dissipated, and she landed on the ground, A smile appeared on her face as she glanced at the description of her talent.

[Talent: Absolute Precognition (SS++)

[Talent description: A talent awakened by those who have conquered the darkness and found their true selves. There are extremely few individuals who have awakened this talent.

Creatures that live on miasma and Corruption will feel threatened by your mere presence! You are a bane for those who follow the path of corruption...]

[Talent Effect:

1. You can see into a person's mana, soul and fate, which can help you predict two seconds into their future. 2. The law of the world bestows upon you the ability to foresee certain calamities in advance. (Locked due to the low rank of the user.) 3. You can see the threads of fate. (Locked due to the low rank of the user.)

]

Although she can't use this talent to its full potential yet, even that ability to predict two seconds into the future is already quite broken.

The battles between high-ranking awakeners happen at an insanely fast pace.

A-rank individuals can do hundreds of attacks in a single second, so being able to predict the moves of the opponent is a very broken ability.

With this broken ability, Lia can finally stand on equal ground with monsters like Link and Rio.

...
