He had never seen this coming.
Bone Fire had actually upgraded!
Not only had it risen from the Eighth Tier to the Ninth Rank, but its origin grade had also jumped straight from S-Class to X-Class!
What was X-Class?
The SSR "Fate Dice" and the equally SSR "Life Replacement Technique" had fused under the supernatural influence of the eerie rug brought out of the Durahan Church.
They had formed an entirely new talent: "Fate Weaver."
It was a terrifying supernatural power that could toy with fate lines in the palm of his hand.
It had been classified as X-Class!
This was an entirely new grade that had never existed before.
Jiang Qiao had speculated about it at the time.
If SSR held the potential to become a half-god, did X-Class possess the foundation for becoming a deity?
Of course.
This was only a judgment he had made based on how origin grades corresponded to ranks.
After all, before this,
S-Class corresponded to the Eighth Tier, and SS-Class to the Ninth Rank.
That had already been established.
Based on that,
perhaps SSR represented half-gods, while X-Class, one grade above SSR, represented deities?
But regardless,
X-Class had certainly displayed power more terrifying than SSR.
With the power of "Fate Weaver," Jiang Qiao had successfully suppressed the Ninth Rank while still at the Eighth Tier!
And now Bone Fire was also transforming toward X-Class...
In fact,
Jiang Qiao found this even stranger than "Fate Weaver"... After all, Fate Weaver had been formed by fusing two SSR-Class talents, with the supernatural power of that rug added to the mix.
But what did Bone Fire have?
Previously, it had merely been an S-Class Talent.
Jiang Qiao had still been wondering how to raise it to SS so he could advance smoothly to the Ninth Rank.
