Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener

39  Restrictions on Using Abilities on Others

Sterl's thought process was clear—

The satellite refinement provided by the Master of Stars ensured absolute loyalty from the target. As long as Teresa didn't resist, Sterl wasn't opposed to giving her a chance to live.

Later, if Sterl encountered a more superior satellite, one whose benefits surpassed the support Teresa's identity provided to Sterl.

Then...

He would simply discard this female player and replace her.

Sterl's palm radiated with a brilliant azure light, gradually merging into Teresa's body.

The female player seemed to sense something terrifying, struggling frantically. With a soft 'pfft' sound, the stellar power in Sterl's palm dissipated, transforming into specks of light and vanishing into thin air.

Clearly, the refinement had failed.

Sterl felt a slight sense of helplessness. He really wanted to, just like the major villains in various literary works, control others with just one skill.

How cool would that be?

Unfortunately, the ability to refine satellites required complete cooperation from the other party. Thus, Sterl gently patted Teresa's face in a friendly manner.

The delicate and beautiful face of the female player was instantly filled with panic.

"This is the security I am leaving behind. Either fully accept my stellar power,"

"Or die now," Sterl stated succinctly. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I... I understand," Teresa's voice was slightly hoarse, as she lowered her head as if resigned to her fate.

It wasn't just the fear of death that influenced her decision but also the term "stellar power" that had startled her. It sounded like a high-level force!

Combining this with the magnificent scene Sterl had created during his class change, Teresa suspected that the job Sterl held was at least B-grade, mostly likely A-grade...

As for an S-grade job.

Teresa didn't dare to think about it. Those were the realms of the gods, with only seven individuals on the entire Earth achieving such a status...

If she were to follow such a strong A-grade professional, even as a slave, there might be a chance for her to rise to greatness by association.

Teresa decided—

Even though she was utterly terrified of the stellar power Sterl had released, Teresa chose to actively accept it!

With her cooperation, Sterl's second attempt at refinement went much smoother.

As the azure gas flowed into her, Sterl felt a special connection being established between Teresa and himself, as if she became his puppet.

Sterl could even command Teresa to commit suicide with just a thought. This was the absolute controlling power of the Master of Stars over a satellite.

At this moment, Teresa, feeling the changes in her body, was slightly pleased. It seemed her consciousness hadn't changed much.

In that case, things were much better than Teresa had feared... She still possessed her independent consciousness, only restrained by a shackle preventing her from harming Sterl.

"That's not too bad."

"After all, from now on, this genius player and I are tied together, and share both glory and loss."

"By the way, why would I ever harm him? Instead, I need to protect Sterl's interests." Teresa pondered.

Before, Teresa harbored some resentment in her heart. After encountering Sterl, she had thrown out an escape scroll immediately. Didn't this kid know how to repay a favor at all?

Now, Teresa's hatred had vanished without a trace. Instead, she was utterly astounded by Sterl's potential... She felt that perhaps she could use this opportunity to step onto an even bigger stage!

...

After Sterl completed the refinement, Teresa's panel popped up before his eyes.

She was also a C-class professional, with a total attribute similar to Philip Waldo, but she had an additional level 9 basic attribute enhancement and nine free attribute points.

Teresa's talent was A-level, enhancing the output of lightning and electricity attacks. Her skill slot was filled with skills of green quality.

However, what made Sterl slightly startled was that on Teresa's panel, there were pluses on her skills, talent, and heart of profession.

"Wait a minute... Isn't it impossible to add points to someone else?" Sterl wondered. When he had been leveling up with Linna and Rayna, he had seen their panels they shared voluntarily, and there were no pluses at all?

Sterl pondered for a while, coming up with two speculations.

One was that his evolutionary ability clearly stated that all points added would definitely transform in a way that was beneficial to him. So, adding points to other players, what if they became hostile to him?

Therefore, only players like Teresa, who had been refined into a sub-star and had no possibility of betrayal, could enjoy the added points.

The other possibility was that after refining a sub-star, Teresa was no longer an independent player but a part of Sterl's power, so points could be added.

And Sterl was overjoyed by this...

"In that case, the positions for the two sub-stars in the future are set, directly reserved for Linna and Rayna. With the ability to add points, I can help them transform into the players with the strongest talents!"

His mind was a whirlwind, but he remained composed on the surface.

At the same time, Sterl hesitated for a moment. For the first sub-star enhancement, he chose attribute enhancement, which was the safest option. He immediately benefited from Teresa's 10% basic attribute boost.

And later, if Sterl wanted to increase the benefits of the attribute enhancement, he could also choose to add points to Teresa's "Heart of Profession."

Yes... "Heart of Profession" could also evolve through added points!

This was something he discovered after completing his class change. So Sterl knew that his "Master of Stars" could conservatively be promoted to SS-class!

His gains from this dungeon adventure could continue to expand.

Sterl felt like he was truly on a winning streak!

Back to the main topic. After Sterl selected the sub-star enhancement, he gained 10 points in spirit, 9 points in agility, and an increase of 6 points in strength and constitution.

He moved his muscles a little and immediately felt a significant increase in strength.

At this moment, Teresa finally recovered from the effects of being refined into a sub-star. She stood up, regaining the demeanor of an expert: "Sterl, what are your plans next..."

"What did you call me?" A chill flashed in Sterl's eyes, and then—he snapped his fingers.

Teresa's body uncontrollably stiffened, and she stretched out her palm, slapping herself with all her might!

The female player's exquisite face was full of disbelief as she covered her mouth, "Are you crazy?!"

"Is this how you speak to me?" Sterl took a step forward, pushing Teresa to the ground. Without invoking the state of a god descending, Sterl's attributes were still not a match for this level 59 player.

But just as Teresa was about to angrily resist, the shackles of being a sub-star activated—leaving her limbs weak and unable to move.

Sterl felt like he had captured a fierce lioness one moment, and the next, he held a gentle and beautiful woman in his arms, the touch was exquisite.

He smiled slightly, now having a good understanding of the effects of a sub-star.

The refined subject absolutely cannot defy Sterl... No wonder it's called absolute loyalty!

No matter what you think in your mind, your body belongs to me!

"What exactly do you want to do..." The anger in Teresa's heart seemed ready to burst forth. But it was precisely her defiant emotions that made her body even less under her control. The words she spoke came out in an extremely soft tone, not at all threatening, but more like flirting.

"From now on, you should call me master." Sterl said, while fondling the body of the female player, seemingly unable to let go.

The first time Teresa had her appearance restored, Sterl was stunned by her beauty, which even Linna and Rayna couldn't match in terms of sheer attractiveness!

But the latter two beauties, one lively and the other serene, had their own charm in bed, which combined could surpass Teresa's.

At this moment, Sterl's hand roamed, even directly moving through her tattered equipment to Teresa's chest, casually kneading.

Her extremely white and tender skin and flesh overflowed uncontrollably from his fingers, like surging waves.

Although Sterl hadn't been away from home for long, he had been fighting intensely with various monsters in the dungeon, even challenging a level 50 professional beyond his level—

Before the fight, he even doubted if he could win.

Sterl's pressure was about to explode, and he had long wanted to release it.

"You're crazy! Impossible!" Teresa screamed in her mind, almost going mad!

She was a genius from the sequence base! Although she didn't have permanent residency of the sequence base before her second class change. After the change, she could choose any superior base to enter, where she would hold a high status everywhere!

As for the opposite sex, no matter how excellent the pursuer, they all acted like submissive dogs in front of Teresa, daring not to overstep.

Even Philip Waldo, despite having a third-class father as his backer when pursuing Teresa, never dared to touch her, showing utmost respect.

Among the players with excellent talents who emerged from the sequence base with her, there were those who had passionately pursued Teresa. The end result was—

That person never even managed to hold her hand but instead got slapped by Teresa in public, turning them into enemies.

ould be humiliated like this!
