The last time he had produced the entry "Failed Second Awakening" was when he had awakened "Vanishing Art."
Back then, he had been smashing the cauldrons and sinking the boats, binding two Awakening Stones at once and tossing them into the Awakening Pool. The result had been one success and one failure.
But the success had come first, followed by the failure. Thus, the failed one had triggered the new entry—Failed Second Awakening.
Xu Xiaoshou had not forgotten about it.
Unfortunately, Passive Value was always insufficient. Or rather, he grew too quickly and never had the spare time to earn more Passive Value.
He feared wasting too much and ending up unable to grasp even a fart, so he had never dared attempt a Second Awakening.
Now, it seemed he could pick it up again and study it anew.
Passive Value: 3562552.
Awakening Stone: 100000 Passive Value.
"By the usual odds, a first awakening should succeed within ten tries or so. With good luck, it can succeed in one or two."
"For a Second Awakening, if I put up a million Passive Value, it should come through too."
"What I'm afraid of is that the odds aren't the same—that I'll throw away all three million-plus Passive Value and awaken jack shit..."
Xu Xiaoshou hesitated slightly.
His current stock was enough to raise every one of his passive skills to Holy Emperor Lv.0. That was a solid breakthrough in combat power, without the slightest hidden danger.
But a Second Awakening was not necessarily the same.
So...
Should he gamble?
Or proceed steadily and surely?
"Go for it!"
Once his heart stirred, it was hard to rein it back in.
Xu Xiaoshou quickly made his decision. He would follow his heart and act as he pleased.
Passive Value: 3562552.
