"Wait, Dad has a status panel over his head too!"

Junhao was slightly stunned. Above Jun Wei's head, a panel appeared, and the data manifested before Junhao's eyes.

Name: Jun Wei.

Level: Seven-Star C-Rank Awakened.

Title: Demon Suppression King.

Skills: Life Blessing, Life Domain, Life Formation Array, Life Weakness... Status: Weakened.

Comprehensive Combat Power: Unknown.

His dad's stats appeared. A C-Rank Awakened? The Demon Suppression King? Holy crap, so I'm a hidden second-generation Awakened? One should know that C-Rank Awakened are already very powerful within China.

And the 'Demon Suppression King' is a title unique to the Demon Suppression Division. In the entire city of Xiangyang, there are only two.

Is my old man a hidden big shot?

Wait, no.

What's with these skills?

Not only is my old man a big shot, but he's also a hidden Healer? All his skills are life-related; he must be a support-type Awakened.

Support-type Awakened are highly sought after in China.

"Dad!"

Junhao sat down obediently.

In his memories, his dad had some connection with the Demon Suppression Division, because Junhao had seen people from there visit before.

But as for the specific nature of that relationship, Junhao didn't know.

Thinking about it now...

He had been too naive. It wasn't just a 'connection'; his dad's status in the Demon Suppression Division was likely quite high.

But strangely, it seemed no one in the village knew.

"Your homeroom teacher told you, right? Tomorrow is the day of Awakening. What kind of talent do you want to awaken?"

Jun Wei asked calmly.

"You can choose your Awakening?"

Junhao was taken aback.

In his memory, when school ended today, the homeroom teacher had announced a piece of news in front of the whole class.

Tomorrow, Xiangnan Martial Arts University would send Awakened to assist the students of Xiangyang Middle School in their Awakening. After Awakening, they could enter the martial arts university to study.

And almost everyone who graduated from a martial arts university could join the Demon Suppression Division.

If one failed to awaken, they could only attend a regular university and become an ordinary person.

"I hope you become a support-type Awakened. This is a Life Awakening Potion. After injection, it can help you awaken!"

Jun Wei placed a blue potion on the table.

"Jun Wei, what do you mean by this? Is there something wrong with Haoer becoming a Berserker? Haoer, this is a Berserk Awakening Potion. Berserkers possess the strongest awakening power!"

Hao Yue also entered. She pulled out a red potion and placed it on the table.

Support-type awakening?

Berserker?

Junhao scratched his head, feeling a bit dazed. Awakening potions? These were the latest research results in China; you couldn't buy them even if you had money.

They allowed for directional, selective awakening. His dad and mom each had one? What was going on?

Thinking of this...

Junhao quickly looked at his mom's head. Sure enough, there was also a panel, and data appeared on it.

Name: Hao Yue.

Cultivation: Seven-Star C-Rank Awakened.

Title: Demon Suppression Marquis.

Skills: Berserk, Frenzied Sword Art, Mad Sword Domain... Status: Weakened.

The attributes appeared.

That's right, Dad is a Healer and Mom is a Mad Swordsman. No wonder they both brought out awakening potions for him.

Awaken a life ability and become a Healer?

Awaken the power of Berserk and become a Berserker?

"Yue'er, you're going to get Haoer killed. What's so good about being a Berserker? When clearing out safe zones, they're the ones charging at the very front, and they're the ones who die the fastest!"

"Support-type awakenings are different; they are the ones everyone protects!"

Jun Wei said with a face full of pride.

"And what if there's no one to protect you?"

Hao Yue said expressionlessly.

"You..."

Jun Wei's voice stopped abruptly. He then let out a sigh and fell silent, his eyes carrying a hint of sorrow.

"What's going on?"

Junhao glanced at the two of them. It looked like there was a story here. It was true that both of their levels were very high.

But their statuses both showed 'Weakened,' which meant they were injured.

"Dad, Mom, can't I awaken both?"

Junhao asked as a thought occurred to him.

"That's impossible. In all of China, every Awakened can only awaken once and can only obtain one type of ability!"

"The Research Institute has considered your idea, but once you awaken once, the second potion becomes ineffective!"

His father, Jun Wei, spoke.

"Oh!"

Junhao nodded, but he didn't care much. With the Devouring System, he didn't need to awaken to soar. Of course, Junhao didn't say this out loud.

"Haoer, choose for yourself what you want to awaken. It's getting late; go take a bath and rest!"

Hao Yue said softly.

"Mm-hmm!"

Junhao stood up and left with the two bottles of potion.

In the hall, only the parents remained.

"I heard from people in the Division that the second wave of the Spiritual Qi Tide in the danger zones is about to begin. It's very likely that S-Rank or higher exotic beasts will appear!"

Jun Wei said with a worried expression.

"Last time, it was that S-Rank Exotic Beast that injured us. Not only did our cultivation drop, but our injuries won't heal. If an exotic beast above S-Rank appears, I don't know how many people will die!"

"Sigh..."

...In the room.

Junhao took a bath and lay on the bed. Before his eyes, the panel appeared, showing various data.

evolution points: 7/50

He was 43 evolution points away from the next evolution. Once the system refreshed tomorrow, Junhao was confident he could evolve again.

"Right, the potions!"

Junhao looked at the two bottles of potion beside him.

"System, can I rely on awakening potions to awaken other abilities?"

Junhao asked the system.

"Yes!"

The system's voice rang out.

"Let's try it!"

Junhao's eyes lit up. He then took out one of the potions—the Life Potion. This was the result of his careful consideration.

The Life Potion awakened support-type abilities, and the current Junhao could transform into a giant python.

In terms of attack power, he certainly wouldn't be lacking in the future.

On the contrary, support-type abilities were more important to him.

"Inject!"

Junhao picked up the potion and pressed it against his arm. The blue liquid was pushed directly into his skin.

*Gurgle...*

His muscles rapidly devoured the potion.

At the same time.

Strands of mysterious power were birthed from within his body. That power made Junhao feel warm all over.

In Junhao's mind, the system's voice rang out.

"Congratulations to the Host for awakening the ability: Life Blessing!"

"After an ability is awakened in human form, it can be shared with the beast form!"

The system's voice echoed.

In Junhao's mind, he felt as if countless green specks of light had appeared around him.

"Life Blessing!"

With a thought, strands of dark green power showered down. Junhao felt his body become incredibly comfortable.

Support-type ability awakened.

Life Blessing.

On the panel:

Name: Junhao.

Status: Human Form.

Level: 2-Star F-Rank Ability User.

Skills: 【Lock-on】, 【Death Fang】, 【Life Blessing】

Comprehensive Combat Power: 30

In terms of attributes, his comprehensive combat power had increased significantly. This should be related to the skill Life Blessing.

He clicked on the description for Life Blessing.

Skill: Blessing.

Effect: Instantly recovers 50% of own injuries, recovers 20% for teammates within three meters; continuous recovery increased by 80% for self and 30% for teammates within three meters.

As the level increases, both range and effectiveness will improve.

Not bad at all.

Support-type awakenings weren't strong in attack power to begin with.

But their utility...

Was definitely not weak!

"I'll use this potion too!"

Junhao injected the second bottle of potion into his other arm. Anyway, these awakening potions didn't cost him anything.

Leaving it would just be a waste.

Dad said a second awakening was impossible, but maybe his luck would explode!

What if he did awaken it!

A Berserker's attack power was one of the strongest among all types of awakenings.
