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

Chapter 294: Valor Combatants Tournament

After Sterl's series of adjustments:

In the guild's buff section—

The resurrection ability was modified to be a one-time permanent use. To obtain another chance, members needed to donate a significant amount of contribution points. As for the "Fire Thief" buff, Sterl reduced its effect to a 5% enhancement.

After these changes, the buffs gave off the impression that Twilight might be a 3-star guild at level two because it had a resurrection ability. However, at level three, it seemed like just an ordinary S-rank guild...

Thus, the issue with Twilight was resolved. No one would dare to challenge a Supreme to seize a 3-star guild.

As for Twilight being SSS-rank at levels one and two?

That was irrelevant.

Without achieving continuous three-level advancements, they couldn't gain additional buffs or transform the guild shop's quality. The attraction of two SSS-level guild ranks was minimal for Twilight!

Having completed all the adjustments, Sterl exited the shadow world.

He saw that the guild contribution bar was already maxed out!

However, after seeing the radiant-level buffs and the triple radiance enhancements, he felt a bit envious.

If he continued using radiant-level materials for upgrades, he could achieve six radiance enhancements, which would be much stronger than the Twilight of the Gods.

Upgrading from three to four, four to five, and five to six would respectively require four, six, and seven materials.

Although the material requirements didn't double like in the earlier levels, collecting a total of 17 materials still seemed quite challenging to Sterl.

SSS-level guild materials were already scarce in supply.

For now, guild level upgrades would have to wait.

As Sterl contemplated this, the members of the Twilight guild erupted into a frenzy of excitement.

"Oh my god, am I seeing this right?"

"Our level two guild buff is actually resurrection! No wonder we had to dismantle other guilds!"

"Lord Supreme is wise!"

...

Everyone was ecstatic!

This meant that joining Twilight guild granted them an extra life. It was a massive win!!

"The level three guild enhancement is pretty strong too. Reducing skill upgrade costs by 5% will save us a lot of time. It's at least an S-rank buff."

"Wow! We're taking off!!!"

"I knew it, leaving Twilight guild would have been a huge mistake!"

...

It was a sea of celebration.

Except for the legendary players from the demigod guilds. They watched the scene with deep regret.

It wasn't the hardships they had endured that pained them.

It was the pain of missing out!

These Twilight guild members had received a free resurrection armor and could repeatedly activate it by donating significant contribution points.

Even if they weren't prisoners of war, the legendary players were envious.

Sosia and Sonis, in particular, had a strange gleam in their eyes. Sterl didn't give them the resurrection buff too frequently, to avoid exposing the true radiant-level nature of the guild, so they could only resurrect once every six months.

However, if Sosia and Sonis were ever in real danger, Sterl could always reassign the once-a-month resurrection privilege to them.

Having settled everything regarding the demigod guild, Sterl was about to leave when he noticed a group of legendary players looking despondent. This gave him an idea.

"Do any of you know how to obtain 3-star guild materials?" Sterl asked.

His reasoning was straightforward: these demigod guilds had been aiming to acquire 3-star guilds even before "Twilight" emerged, so they must have some idea of where to find such materials.

Upon hearing Sterl's question, the legendary players racked their brains, and surprisingly, they managed to come up with some useful information.

"Sir, according to our guild's exploration, the Hall of Valor contains something called a blessing. There's a particular blessing related to guilds that supposedly grants several 3-star materials," a legendary player said, nodding and bowing.

"Good, continue," Sterl nodded.

Others quickly chimed in.

"I know that in the southern region of the Hall of Valor, there's a map called Lorik Harbor, which supposedly has a hidden instance that can drop 3-star guild materials."

"Right! If your guild is already SSS-level, upon reaching level five, a feature called the guild instance will be unlocked. The bosses in there can drop materials equal to the highest quality of the guild."

"You might be able to farm 3-star materials then."

...

They continued to chatter, revealing several potential locations for 3-star materials. However, the conditions for these hidden tasks and instances were uncertain.

The two most reliable methods were:

One was unlocking the guild instance feature after reaching level five. Given that Twilight was a radiant-level guild, the chances of obtaining 3-star materials were theoretically high. At that point, Sterl would have material abundance!

Even if the guild instance had limited activations, according to these legendary players, leveling up the guild would refresh the instance at least 1-2 times.

In other words...

"After reaching a level five radiant guild, I won't need to worry about finding materials anymore," Sterl mused.

However, to reach a level five guild, he first needed to gather 10 pieces of 3-star materials and then evolve the guild.

Could he collect all 10 materials based on those uncertain pieces of information?

Fortunately...

There was another relatively reliable method: someone mentioned that the rewards for the Valor Combatants Tournament included 3-star guild materials.

"Tell me more about the Valor Combatants Tournament," Sterl said, looking not only at the legendary players but also at the members of the Twilight guild.

Then, a quick-thinking player took out a crystal and crushed it. A prompt appeared before Sterl's eyes.

[You have obtained event information—Valor Combatants Tournament]

[Note: This event is hosted by the Hall of Valor, guaranteed by the [Transcendence] system.]

[Event Description: This event is open to all players above legendary level but below divine status in the Hall of Valor. Valor Combatants is a grand event that has existed since the founding of the Hall of Valor, aimed at selecting the strongest warriors. Brave combatants, show your strength!]

[Event Rewards: Players will enter one-on-one arena battles after registering. The last one standing will receive substantial rewards. Mentally recite to view the reward list in detail.]

Sterl decisively chose to view the rewards, and to his astonishment, he found that the reward list was almost identical to the one he had seen before in the Trial of the Brave.

Wait!

The reward list was even more extravagant.

Sterl even saw—

[Arcane Box (Iridescent-Level)]

[Description: This is a miraculous item capable of transforming individuals completely. Even if the path ahead seems blocked, countless people will still pursue it fervently. It is said to be a tool used by a certain entity to create expendable warriors in bulk, capable of producing divine-level units for war.]

[Effect: Fuses any two Law Powers into a single divine authority. After obtaining this divine authority, one will be unable to advance from weak Divine Power to higher realms.]

This item, simply put, could elevate a demigod with two types of Law Powers directly to divine status!

The Arcane Box didn't even require the two Law Powers to be at a high level.

So what if one was stuck at weak Divine Power? How many demigods, despite their immense talent, spent their entire lives trapped at the perfect level?

Moreover...

Sterl discovered that if one continued to win in the Valor Combatants Tournament, they could earn multiple opportunities to select rewards.

While the [Arcane Box (Iridescent-Level)] and other Iridescent-Level items could only be chosen once, slightly lower-tier rewards like 3-star guild materials could be selected multiple times, making it possible to collect the 10 pieces of material he needed.

"Lord Supreme, the previous Valor Combatants Tournaments were solely hosted by the Hall of Valor and did not involve the [Transcendence] system."

"This time, for some reason, it's connected with [Transcendence] and has been turned into an 'event.'"

"And the rewards have suddenly increased several times over."

A member of the Twilight guild explained, clearly indicating that this time the Valor Combatants Tournament was extraordinarily different from the previous ones.

Sterl felt quite intrigued, but he found it odd that when the Twilight guild member mentioned the word "event," his expression was so peculiar. It was as if he had encountered an unfamiliar term and had to look it up in a dictionary just to pronounce it correctly.

In a large MMORPG, events are quite common, so why did it seem like he had never played a game before?

However, Sterl had a suspicion about why the Valor Combatants Tournament was being so highly publicized this time—an impending catastrophe.

"Thanks, I get it," Sterl said, quickly navigating the event page to register. As a faint golden light enveloped him, a prompt appeared before his eyes.

[You have successfully registered for the Valor Combatants Tournament. Current status: Awaiting match.]

[Note: The tournament will begin three days after the registration is full.]

Having completed the registration, Sterl noticed a new [Event] tab on his system panel. Clicking it revealed the details of the Valor Combatants Tournament, though it was still in the pre-event preparation phase.

Sterl was about to leave when other members of the Twilight guild, spurred by the previous conversation, hurried over and started bombarding him with information.

Many of them came from families that had been part of the Hall of Valor for generations, so they naturally had more information than Sosia and Sonis.

"Sir, don't underestimate this tournament."

"The strongest beings in the Hall of Valor aren't the ones out and about; it's those demigod supremes who have paid their dues and are secluded in training."

"Their combat power is terrifying. Many of them have mastered extremely rare Law Powers and highly potent platinum-level skills."

...

As these members chattered on, Sterl's initially indifferent expression grew increasingly serious.

The Twilight guild members even provided specific examples—
