Even when facing a legendary dragon a hundred times his size, he slowly extended his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of the sword!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon let out a piercing Wail of Anguish as the horn on its forehead was sliced off!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a wild creature, and a \"dragon\" at that, with extremely high base stats and various powerful skills. Yet, it couldn't even withstand a single move from a Hall of Valor's Trial Seeker!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outcome was decided in one strike!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon howled in pain and quickly fled...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It shot up into the clouds in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crisis averted just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players, who had been suffocating under the dragon's legendary aura, collapsed to the ground, drenched in sweat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked at Willis with expressions of extreme gratitude, even worship!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So strong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this the power of a full member of the Hall of Valor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The leader of this Trial Seeker group is too strong. Could he also have an SS-grade talent or SS-grade profession?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is what happens when a peerless talent joins the Hall of Valor? Their strength just skyrockets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was filled with awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were convinced that this young leader of the Trial Seeker group was definitely a peerless talent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, through their interactions, they had learned that the young leader's name was Willis. He had only joined the Hall of Valor a year ago, yet his strength had grown to such an extent. It was terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players present suddenly felt dwarfed by Willis's aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, each of them was quite proud, as they were top talents in their respective regions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, they felt that compared to the unparalleled Willis, they were far inferior!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't have the ability to ascend to legendary status and overpower a legendary dragon in just a year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even with the Hall of Valor's help, it's impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similar thoughts filled the players' minds, their eyes full of reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the expressions of the many players present, Willis merely smiled calmly, as if it was all just a trivial effort on his part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the wilds of the Hall of Valor, there are often such little creatures eager to interact with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you lack the strength, I'd advise you to stay in the towns even if you pass the trial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words were casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Willis's words, a legendary dragon was just a little creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players' expressions shifted immediately. Such a powerful and domineering person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Sterl frowned slightly, sensing a kindred spirit...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Willis appeared calm and collected, his tone and gaze made Sterl feel like this guy was purposely putting on a facade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without using any detection skills, Sterl relied solely on his intuition!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he quietly activated all his attribute boosts and used Star Insight, the information he received, combined with the attributes of the legendary dragon from earlier, made him show a strange expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Sterl could do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Willis stretched lazily and said, \"Alright, you guys can explore this world of the Hall of Valor for a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The town is just ahead, so I won't be escorting you further.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here's a tip.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Entering here early is a small advantage for the gifted. You can seize this opportunity to train and enhance your strength. Better to prepare now than never.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Willis's figure swiftly disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly, he turned back with a smile and said, \"Oh, right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I seem to have a small task on hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Hall of Valor encourages us to establish small player guilds. I have one myself; are any of you interested?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need more members to level up the guild.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since it seems like fate brought us together, leading you into the Hall of Valor world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you're interested in joining my guild, you can sign a contract with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Willis displayed a prepared contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players immediately focused their attention on it, and to their surprise, it wasn't a harsh contract. Players who signed it, if they could pass the Hall of Valor's trial, must join Willis's guild and could not leave without special circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The contract also detailed some obligations, like following Guild Leader Willis on instance runs to kill bosses whenever possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the players would enjoy guild shop benefits and guild buffs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was pretty much the same as joining any other guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought of having this peerless genius Willis as the guild leader made all the players' expressions change. Following a top player would definitely be advantageous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even felt a sense of unexpected joy. If they could establish a good relationship with such a strong member of the Trial Seeker before the new trial, their future in the Hall of Valor would surely be brighter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they eagerly surged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to join, I want to join!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's an honor to be invited into your guild.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I really join? I'm willing to sign the contract!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the players were very excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few were still hesitant. The players who had earlier mentioned Willis's name were not very enthusiastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were also awed by Willis's terrifying power when he slashed the dragon with one strike, but to their knowledge, Willis wasn't a peerless genius before entering the Hall of Valor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people felt that if Willis was already this strong, wouldn't others be even more formidable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe they should wait until they formally entered the Hall of Valor to consider joining the guild?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faye and Sterl, on the other hand, noticed something off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sterl, using Star Insight, discovered that Willis's legendary ability wasn't that strong. It was called Transform Light into Blade, formed from three eight-legend points skills, along with Willis's own S-grade talent and A-grade profession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon, as a dragon species, had base attributes comparable to some legendary elite monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any buffs, Transform Light into Blade couldn't have so easily decapitated the dragon with one strike!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, Sterl noticed that something was wrong with the dragon. His Star Insight revealed that the dragon was already in an injured state, marked with the debuff Broken Horn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when it first appeared, the dragon didn't have a Broken Horn, did it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sterl came to a strange and absurd conclusion: the dragon's horn was originally broken and somehow reattached. Then, it was conveniently sliced off by Willis at the exact moment it charged...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, the dragon, knowing its Broken Horn status, fled in panic after losing an insignificant horn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... too many coincidences, right?\" Sterl muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt like he'd uncovered the truth: \"The acting was quite realistic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sterl felt that the dragon's appearance, getting slashed, and fleeing were all orchestrated by Willis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Willis probably staged this whole scene to set the stage for recruiting guild members.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why does he want to recruit people? Could it be that sacrificing guild members boosts his power?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having experienced the blood sacrifices of the Divine Mountain Empire's old emperor, Sterl was quick to think of such sinister plots...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Faye, with Felicia being a demigod, also saw through the facade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sterl and Faye exchanged a knowing glance: \"Don't go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though their voices were low, the players present were strong enough to hear them...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Willis ignored those uninterested in signing the contract. He looked down on the enthusiastic players rushing towards him, dismissively waving his hand: \"I'm not taking any trash.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me see...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're no good! Get lost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An A-grade profession and you dare to come? Your talent is mediocre. Get out of my sight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if you show up, I won't let you join my guild if you lack talent and strength!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm founding a guild, not a garbage dump!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Willis's face was full of arrogance. Only a few players were allowed to sign the contract and join his guild, and they looked extremely grateful and excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Willis himself maintained a look of reluctance, as if he was forced to take them in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't until the young man with the SS-grade talent, who had previously explained things to Sterl and the others, hesitantly stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Willis gave him a disdainful glance: \"SS-grade talent, not bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At least you're someone. Sign it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once you're in the guild, we're on the same team.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still wouldn't look people in the eye, as if even SS-grade talent barely met his standards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Sterl sharply noticed a fleeting hint of joy in the corner of Willis's eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so brief, it almost seemed like a mirage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... the stronger and more talented one is, the more they can catch these fleeting emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Osmond, what are you hesitating for?\" someone from the Trial Seeker who knew the SS-grade young man called out his name directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Osmond, recalling Willis's expression and the firm warning from the man and woman earlier—don't join this guild—felt something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Osmond hesitate, some other players also paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one here is a fool. All the players present are talented and capable heroes, top-notch individuals from various regions, who have emerged from a crowd of geniuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If other players are hesitating, they must have spotted some issues!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many players looked at each other, and except for those who had signed the contract early on and whose faces were now uncertain, everyone else seemed a bit awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Signing the contract might be a trap, but not signing it could offend this mysterious genius, Willis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caught between a rock and a hard place, they found themselves in a real dilemma!\u003C\u002Fp>",1600,"2026-06-06T07:11:07.566Z",1,"novelbin.me","7ee3d937954ed70f9bdb3d6aea5ffc7a35da603be21aa1bd4f14880ba9839a71","awakening-the-infinite-evolution-of-my-talent-as-chapter-181","awakening-the-infinite-evolution-of-my-talent-as-chapter-179",856,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fawakening-the-infinite-evolution-of-my-talent-as-cover.jpg"]
