256 I’m also a Second Awakener


    When Cato stepped onto the stage, the audience was in an uproar.


    Cato was a tall and strong ck man. From the outside, anyone could tell that he was a middle-aged man who was over 18 years old. He did not meet thepetition rules at all.


    At this moment, the referee’s role was revealed.


    The referee of thepetition took out a paper agreement. This was a written agreement signed by the eight countries when they discussed thepetition.


    The referee looked at the camera, showed the contents of the agreement, and read it out loud.


    “Third paragraph, eleventh rule. Contestant Qualifications: All participants must pass the branding substance reaction test.”


    After he finished reading, the referee said loudly, “ording to the agreement and rules of this worldpetition, there is no clear age requirement for the participants. As long as they pass the branding substance reaction test, they are qualified to participate.


    “In order to ensure the fairness of thepetition, we will conduct a branding substance reaction test on Cato on the spot.”


    The referee’s movements were very agile and skillful. It was obvious that he had rehearsed in advance. He took out a test paper the size of a middle finger and exined.


    “The surface of this test paper is filled with lead powder. The branding substance has a characteristic. After leaving the human body, the branding substance will deteriorate. When the deteriorated branding substancees into contact with the lead powder, it will produce a chemical reaction and generate a huge amount of heat.”


    After saying that, he took out a needle and took out a drop of blood from Cato’s finger.


    “If there is a branding substance reaction in Mr. Cato’s body, this test paper will burn when it touches his blood.”


    After the exnation, the referee dipped one end of the test paper into the blood.


    In an instant, smoke rose and the test paper began to burn. A faint purple me swayed.


    The referee’s ecstatic expression appeared a littleical under the purple mes. He announced loudly.


    “I hereby announce that Mr. Cato has passed the branding substance reaction test and is qualified to participate in the worldpetition. The Mieln Federation did not vite any rules and regtions by sending Mr. Cato to participate in thepetition.”


    Originally, after Cato went on stage, Yi Guoqing and the others had a huge reaction. They were looking for the refereemittee backstage to protest, but they saw that Cato really passed the branding substance reaction test under everyone’s eyes.


    They were all dumbfounded.


    Yi Guoqing’s expression was extremely unsightly. He was a pragmatic person. No matter what method the Mieln Federation used to let Cato pass the branding substance reaction test, the reality was that he could no longer stop Cato from participating.


    There was no point in arguing.


    After all, this was the Mieln Federation’s home ground. Judging from the reactions of the referee and the organizers, it was obvious that this was a conspiracy that the Mieln Federation had long nned.


    After Yi Guoqing gave up on protesting, the referee did not immediately announce the start of the match.


    Instead, he deliberately stayed for a period of time to let the host Hawkins and the three Overlords exin how Cato could react through the branding substance.


    Hawkins and the other guests echoed each other.


    “Only those who have taken the awakening potion will have traces of the branding substance in their bodies and react through the branding substance.”


    “That’s right. Cato took the awakening potion half a year ago and awakened his fire-type ability.”


    “How is this possible? As far as I know, Cato is the youngest Overlord of the Mieln Federation. He is extremely powerful and is called the Storm Overlord by the Overlords.”


    “That’s right. For awakeners who have already awakened, taking the awakening potion is ineffective.”


    “Haha, let me tell you the truth. Cato is the first awakener in human history to have a second awakening! After he became an Overlord, he identally took the awakening potion and awakened a second ability!


    “That’s why he has the qualifications to participate in thepetition!”


    “Second awakening? What kind of magical ability is this?”


    …


    …


    The four of them rambled on and on, making the live audience understand that a second awakening was unique among humans.


    Cato was able to participate in thepetition because of his unique second-awakening talent, not because of a loophole in thepetition rules.


    Cato’s qualification to participate in thepetition was legitimate and without any ws.


    Only the Mieln Federation could be so shameless as to allow a middle-aged man to participate in the World Youth Awakeners’ Competition and be deemed to be in line with the rules by the host and referee.


    However, many of the audience in the stadium and around the world were convinced.


    This was because the ability of the second awakening had never appeared before, and there was indeed no age limit in the officialpetition agreement.


    Hawkins concluded in order to be more convincing.


    “If other countries also have a second awakener, under the current circumstances, the other countries should be referring to the Yunmeng Kingdom. Alright, let me make it simple. If the Yunmeng Kingdom also has a second awakener, then regardless of their age or strength, they can also participate in thepetition.


    “Do you understand what I mean?


    “The Mieln Federation aren’t breaking the rules, nor are we bullying anyone. We allow second awakeners from the Yunmeng Kingdom to participate in thepetition if they have one.”


    Hawkins’st joke made many of the Mieln Federation supportersugh out loud.


    After exining Cato’s qualifications and second awakening, the referee saw that everyone’s resistance was not that strong, so he began to announce the official start of thepetition.


    Before the referee finished speaking, Jiang Bichao said, “I admit defeat…”


    In the process of his exnation, Jiang Bichao received Ning Shi’s order for him to admit defeat.


    Moreover, through thementary tform’s conversation, he also knew that Cato was an Overlord. A Tier 6 against an Overlord was no different from a mantis trying to stop a chariot.


    Although he was unwilling, he still admitted defeat decisively.


    There was no need to make unnecessary sacrifices. Jiang Bichao was still very calm at this critical moment.


    However, the referee didn’t seem to hear his surrender. He still blew the whistle to signal the start of the match.


    Beep!


    With a whistle, Cato immediatelyunched an attack!


    Several extremely light breezes rose from the ground and were about to blow onto Jiang Bichao in an instant.


    ...


    Swoosh! Ning Shi was already prepared. With a sh, he teleported onto the stage and pulled Jiang Bichao away.


    Whoosh!


    The ce where Jiang Bichao had been standing was blown by the wind. The sturdy stage was shattered by the wind, revealing several marks that were more than half a meter deep.


    Ning Shi stared at Cato and asked indifferently, “My disciple has already admitted defeat. Why are you still attacking?”


    Cato deliberately dug his ears and said, “Did he say he admitted defeat? The next time you surrender, make a louder sound or kneel down. Only then will I know what he means.”


    Ning Shi pped and said to the referee and Cato, “The Mieln Federation is really good at scheming. They’ve done their best in this performance!”


    Without waiting for them to answer, Ning Shi said loudly, “Unfortunately, I’m also a second awakener. I want to participate in thispetition as a contestant from the Yunmeng Kingdom!”
