Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 931 - 368: Second Awakening
Chapter 931: Chapter 368: Second Awakening
Wang Tao had been able to attempt a Second Awakening a while ago, but with only a 40% success rate. To Wang Tao, this rate might as well have been zero.
Although he’d usually had good luck, he was not willing to gamble. Should he lose the bet, the next attempt at Awakening would demand even more Secret Keys and face an even lower success rate.
Later, he accidentally encountered a Catastrophic Serpent. After killing it, he obtained an Advanced Awakening Secret Key with a 70% success rate for himself, and the serpent also dropped a Solid Advanced Awakening Key.
With these two keys, Wang Tao’s success rate for the Second Awakening had increased to 70%, but he still felt it wasn’t safe. After all, he had a failure on record when fusing an Epic Crystal Core with an 80% success rate, even though it was just that one time, he had indeed failed.
If an 80% chance could fail, a 70% chance was naturally perilous…
Fortunately, Wang Tao had a way to boost the success rate. The Advanced Special Energy he had obtained from killing beyond his level could increase his Awakening success rate by 1% for every 10 points.
Therefore, Wang Tao thought he should increase the success rate a bit more. At least to over two-thirds or above 80%. As it happened, he still had plenty of Night Demon Parasite Insect Eggs and Energy Crystal Meteorites on hand, so he went out to hunt these creatures and also bought some information, hoping to encounter other Level 4 Lords.
He ended up finding a massive Night Demon’s Nest, which contained numerous Night Demons, and its Incubation Flesh significantly increased the hatching success rate for the Night Demon Parasite Bug Eggs.

Then Wang Tao made a killing.
Not to mention anything else, at least his collection of Advanced Special Energy exceeded his expectations.
Now, Wang Tao was ready to start his Second Awakening!
Back in his room, Jiang Shixue, Ding Yuqin, and the others were all by his side.
Seeing their somewhat nervous appearances, Wang Tao smiled and shook his head.
He thought there shouldn’t be any major issues; it wasn’t the success rate he was worried about. What concerned him was whether, after already having awakened once, he could undergo a Second Awakening.
Wang Tao had not seen any creature with two Awakenings before, but not having seen one didn’t mean it was impossible. In theory, there should be no problem; he could also feel that he might attempt another Awakening. As to whether it would be successful… he would just have to give it a try.
Before attempting the Awakening, Wang Tao decided to extract his [Fireball] Ability first.
Based on his past experience, the specifics of an Awakening were related to the merged Abilities. The Fireball special ability was strong, but it was a single Ability, whereas his other three Abilities were the result of multiple Ability Fusions.
If he could successfully awaken, Wang Tao felt that a fusion with multiple Abilities might be stronger.
He just happened to have quite a few Level 4 Extraction Crystal Cores at hand, suitable for extraction from Fireball.
A moment later, the [Fireball] was successfully extracted and became an Epic Crystal Core.
Wang Tao turned his attention to his remaining three Abilities.
[Berserk Enhancement], [Integration], [Yin Yang Harmony].
Any of these three Abilities, if fused during Awakening, would be acceptable to Wang Tao, so there was no need to worry about them.
Wang Tao then looked at his Hidden Attributes.
[Body Strengthening], [Night Vision], [Plant Affinity].
All three Hidden Attributes were of great help to Wang Tao; none was superfluous. Therefore, he could also accept the Awakening of any Hidden Attribute. Of course, Hidden Attributes were not Abilities, so even if he did not accept them, he couldn’t change anything.
Then came the final step—increasing the Awakening success rate!
After spending a large amount of Advanced Special Energy, Wang Tao increased the Awakening success rate to 90%! If he still couldn’t succeed with this rate, he would just have to accept it.
After all the preparation was complete, Wang Tao sat on the edge of the bed, took a deep breath, and began to awaken.
Instantly, the brightest two Light Points representing the Secret Keys in his mind disappeared—the two Advanced Awakening Secret Keys.
Then Wang Tao saw his HP begin to drop.
In the blink of an eye, it plummeted from 180,000 to 80,000, a loss of 100,000 HP.
Wang Tao’s expression did not change; he continued to wait.
When he saw that one of his Hidden Attributes and an Ability had disappeared, Wang Tao finally cracked a smile.
“I’ve succeeded!”
A new status appeared on Wang Tao’s HP bar—[Awakening Success Countdown: 23:59:59]!
At that moment, Wang Tao suddenly had an inexplicable feeling—Attribute Abilities could not be fused in Awakening.
His Fireball belonged to Attribute Abilities, which required him to awaken the Fire Attribute before he could use it.
So, does that mean he didn’t need to extract the Fireball Ability? He could have just awakened directly?
But it didn’t matter; it was just a waste of one Level 4 Extraction Crystal Core. He still had many Extraction Crystal Cores on hand, so it wasn’t a big problem.
Next, Wang Tao felt overcome by sleepiness and collapsed onto the bed.
Seeing Wang Tao fall into a deep sleep, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If he had fallen asleep, it meant the Awakening was possible. All that was left was to wait.
“I hope Wang Tao awakens a powerful ability…”
Everyone hoped silently in their hearts.
…
In his groggy state, Wang Tao felt like he had entered a strange place.
This place was shrouded in a faint white light. Wang Tao lay within it, feeling not the slightest discomfort, but instead, a great sense of comfort.
He had experienced this feeling during his first Awakening, which was amidst a sea of fire.
So, just like the first time, Wang Tao lay down in the light, allowing it to seep into his body.
