Chapter 1321: Chapter 546: Black Snake Ascension, All Members Level 5

The next day, early in the morning.

Wang Tao woke up to find his surroundings empty.

Click—

The door opened to reveal Qu Shilin’s pretty little face.

"Wang Tao, time to get up for breakfast!"

"Okay, just a minute."

The body of an Awakener is just amazing—he tossed and turned all night, and today he was acting like nothing happened.

After Wang Tao washed up, under Qu Shilin’s expectant gaze, he took a bite of her lovingly prepared breakfast.

"I feel like your talent would be better used in research. Wasting it on cooking is just too much of a splurge."

"..."

Qu Shilin thought Wang Tao was complimenting her, but after she took a taste herself, her face turned red in an instant.

"Cough, cough, I rarely cook..."

"It’s fine, at most it’s just a bit too salty, sour, or bitter—it’s not inedible."

Wang Tao said earnestly.

"Argh! You’re so mean!"

Qu Shilin immediately pounced on Wang Tao, teeth bared and claws ready.

After their playful scuffle, they still finished their breakfast. Although it wasn’t delicious, it wasn’t inedible—the food was too precious to waste.

After their meal, Wang Tao did his routine exercises for a while and chatted with Qu Shilin, and time quickly passed.

"Someone’s awakened."

At a certain moment, Wang Tao suddenly took Qu Shilin to Lan Yulian’s room, only to see Lan Yulian just getting out of bed, looking at her hands with a face full of joy.

Upon seeing Wang Tao and Qu Shilin enter, Lan Yulian excitedly said:

"Wang Tao, Shilin, I’ve successfully ascended to Level 5!"

"Congratulations!"

Wang Tao said with a smile.

Qu Shilin was too busy to talk, her spiritual power carefully sensing the aura of Lan Yulian’s recent Ascension. The more she understood about Fifth Order Awakeners, the more adept she would be in some of her research, such as developing Level 5 Gene Potions and such.

Soon after, the others also woke up one after another. Even though Qu Shilin had already learned from Wang Tao that all members of the Starfire Society would ascend to Level 5, seeing it with her own eyes was still incredibly shocking.

After all, the base had expended a vast amount of resources to help one person ascend to Level 5, selecting only Cheng Yiyi after careful deliberation. Yet in Wang Tao’s camp, over a dozen people ascended to Level 5 overnight!

Adding to that Wang Tao’s military dogs, the Golden Eagle, and the Leopard were all Level 5 Lords, and those Black Snakes would soon become Level 5 Lords with the aid of Gene Potions... So, every member of the Starfire Society, even a dog, was Level 5? How terrifying!

Qu Shilin was still not over her shock when Wang Tao suddenly said to her:

"I’ve got some Crystal Cores left. Do you have time, why don’t you try ascending to Level 5?"

"..."

Qu Shilin was stunned. Once she saw Wang Tao wasn’t joking, her instinct was to refuse, but when the words reached her mouth, she changed her mind.

"I have time!"

There was no help for it, the allure of ascending to Level 5 was too great!

If she could ascend to Level 5, not only would her self-protection get stronger, but her Awakening would also enhance, which would greatly improve her research. She really couldn’t refuse. Plus, if she could ascend to Level 5, she would undoubtedly accelerate the development of the Level 5 Gene Potion!

"Ha ha, here are the Crystal Cores."

Wang Tao handed the corresponding Crystal Cores to Qu Shilin, and she could ascend to Level 5 at any time.

"Great!"

Qu Shilin couldn’t wait to ascend right now, but she had just sensed the aura of so many newly minted Fifth Order Awakeners and had much to digest. So, she planned to ascend later that night.

Wang Tao was naturally happy to see everyone successful in their Ascension. But seeing Little Bing and Little Huo, the two ferrets playing around, he felt it wasn’t quite perfect yet—because these two ferrets were still Level 4 Lords, which was a bit of a drag. He thought he’d look for a chance for them to also ascend to Level 5 later, making the entire team Level 5—that would be perfect.

If other people knew about Wang Tao’s thoughts, they would probably die of jealousy. After all, for the vast majority, Level 3 was the limit, and becoming a Fourth-order Awakener was already like having their ancestors’ graves emit green smoke. Yet, in Wang Tao’s camp, Level 4 was starting to be a drag...

At noon, Qu Shilin returned to the research institute to digest what she had witnessed that day. She even missed Cheng Yiyi’s Ascension ceremony—as she had already seen enough Level 5s for the day, one less didn’t make a difference. She planned to look for Wang Tao later in the evening to ascend, although she could do it anywhere, being by Wang Tao’s side gave her a greater sense of security.

Wang Tao went to the City Hall to check on Cheng Yiyi. Although he hadn’t encountered any cases of failed Ascension, she was a friend, and it was right to show some concern.

Once Cheng Yiyi awoke, she was naturally very excited, after all, she was the "second" person in Changhe Base to ascend to Level 5, second only to Wang Tao!

Wang Tao watched the excited Cheng Yiyi and decided not to tell her that Lan Yulian and the others had already ascended to Level 5. Otherwise, the blow would be too great; it was better to let her remain happy for a while.

Cheng Yiyi demonstrated her Fifth Order Awakener strength in front of everyone, and none of the Fourth-order Awakeners present could match up to her alone.

So Cheng Yiyi turned her gaze to Wang Tao, somewhat provocatively beckoning to him.

"Do you really want to challenge me?"

"Don’t be ridiculous, come on, don’t dawdle like a woman!"

Cheng Yiyi’s confidence was through the roof.

"Alright then."

Wang Tao stepped forward.

After all, she was a good friend; it wouldn’t be nice to let Cheng Yiyi lose face in front of so many people. So Wang Tao took it easy on her, and after over ten moves, he then defeated Cheng Yiyi.
