Born Sacred-Chapter 88: Twelve-Order?

"Calm down."

Slowly exhaling a long breath, Noah forced himself to calm down.

The opportunity for Talent Ascension is very good and must not be missed.

But the difficulty is also there.

Extremely Difficult, it should be a difficulty above High Difficulty.

High Difficulty has already stumped all of Blue Star’s top teams, let alone Extremely Difficult. With his Talent, he can guarantee his own survival, but the safety of Rose and others cannot be guaranteed.

Moreover, his Talent cannot guarantee that he will definitely clear the instance.

Because the difficulty of his main quest will also significantly increase.

This feeling is equivalent to the main quest of a First Order Advancement Instance changing from killing any three top-tier experts to killing Darius and Supreme Cloud?

That would be fine, as he could grind the opponent to death with his Talent.

But on top of the immense difficulty of the main quest, there is also a fifteen-day time limit.

"There’s only one chance. Right now, I’m not fully prepared." Noah wanted to close the instance list, but found that he couldn’t.

"So, I have to make a decision now? They’re not going to make me enter the instance immediately, are they?"

Noah was somewhat speechless.

There’s nothing to hesitate about.

"Accept the trial."

As soon as he finished speaking, Noah noticed a layer of dense blood-red light enveloping the four Advancement Instances, giving off a strong sense of unease.

[Due to the extremely high difficulty of the instance, you can choose to enter alone or in a team.]

"I can actually enter alone." Noah’s eyes lit up.

If he goes in alone, he won’t have to worry about the safety of Rose and the others.

After making his choice, Noah found that he could close the instance list, and he wasn’t made to enter the instance immediately either.

"Should I bring Rose and the others along?"

Noah hesitated for a moment, then decided to give them the right to choose for themselves.

He opened his friends list and sent Rose a message:

"For the Tier 2 to Three-order Advancement Instance, my Talent has an opportunity for Ascension, so the instance difficulty will become Extremely Difficult, extremely dangerous. Please consider carefully whether you want to enter the instance with me."

Noah could have hidden the reason why the instance difficulty became Extremely Difficult.

But he thought about it and felt there was no need.

Talent Ascension is clearly not an opportunity unique to him; other Awakeners will also encounter it later.

Noah had an excellent impression of the Supernatural Management Bureau and felt very favorably towards them. His cooperation with Rose and the others had also always been good, so he didn’t mind revealing some information in advance.

There was also another important reason.

With the growth of his strength, at this moment, Noah no longer feared Blue Star’s high-tech weapons much. His mindset had also changed accordingly, becoming less apprehensive and more composed.

Is this what’s called the demeanor of a strong person?

...

Rose was resting at a nearby hotel.

Clearing five Tier 2 Difficult instances in one day didn’t affect Noah much, but for them, it was still somewhat stressful. No matter how relaxed their mindset, it couldn’t hide the physical exhaustion brought by high-intensity combat. While inside the instances, the excitement of continuous clearing kept them from feeling it much.

Upon returning this time, they immediately relaxed and didn’t want to do anything.

It was fortunate that Noah didn’t enter the Advancement Instance immediately, otherwise she would really have had to apply for a few recovery potions.

Upon receiving Noah’s message, several question marks appeared above Rose’s head.

???

If it were someone else, they would likely be completely confused, not knowing what Talent Ascension meant.

Rose, however, actually knew.

After all, when she met Lucian, he had said that his Talent had undergone Ascension and a fourth Talent effect had appeared: Time Travel.

If she remembered correctly, Lucian had mentioned 6th-Order at the time.

What about Noah? Tier 2 ascending to Three-order?

Rose: "???"

Replying to Noah that she would consider it carefully and inform Zara and the others, Rose quickly found Lucian’s friend profile and sent a message asking, "Could you explain Talent Ascension in detail?"

Lucian quickly replied, "Talent Ascension? Actually, you don’t need to worry about this, because for the vast majority of people, understanding Talent Ascension is meaningless."

"Why?" Rose pressed.

"Because the requirements for Talent Ascension are very, very high. Not only is the trial quest extremely Difficult, but the trigger conditions are even higher." Seeing that Rose genuinely wanted to understand, Lucian didn’t hide anything: "In the previous life, fewer than ten people successfully completed Talent Ascension."

"Moreover, without exception, they were all SSS-grade Talent Awakeners."

Rose: "Only SSS-grade Talent Awakeners have a chance of success?"

"Not exactly. It’s that only SSS-grade Talent Awakeners can trigger the opportunity for Talent Ascension when ascending from Five to 6th-Order." Lucian explained, "The opportunity for Talent Ascension doesn’t depend on anything else, only on Talent grade. SS-grade Talent Awakeners might not trigger this opportunity until ascending from Eighth Order to Nine, while S-grade Awakeners would be at Twelve-Order. As for those below S-grade, I’m sorry, there’s simply no possibility of Talent Ascension."

"Twelve-Order?" Rose was shocked. She hadn’t expected there to be such a high Order.

"This is a theoretical deduction. In reality, no one knows if Twelve-Order exists." Lucian said with a bitter smile, after all, in his previous life, he was only Eighth Order. "Except for SSS-grade Talent Awakeners being able to trigger the opportunity for Talent Ascension when ascending from Five to 6th-Order, which is certain, everything else is a speculation made by a Resistance Army strategist based on patterns."

"It’s a pity that in the previous life, no SS-grade Talent Awakener advanced to Eighth Order, so this theory couldn’t be verified."

Rose fell silent, feeling a bit choked up.

She hadn’t expected the trigger conditions for Talent Ascension to be so outrageous.
