The second was He Jijun. Although he was the oldest among them, he was the most experienced in battle. Moreover, his hidden ability was "old but vigorous," so there was no need to worry about his combat strength declining due to age.
The third was Wei Zhenguo, one of Wang Tao's earliest acquaintances and a friend whose character and strength were both recognized by Wang Tao.
The last was Han Rui, who was the second person to follow Wang Tao, and her own strength was certainly strong enough.
After confirming the candidates, Wang Tao had them start fusing with the Ascension Crystal Cores. Each of them had four abilities, so they needed a total of 16 Ascension Crystal Cores.
All these Ascension Crystal Cores were of Excellent and Epic quality. Without any accidents, all four of them succeeded in the fusion.
Next up was the fusion with the Awakening Key. Just like with the Crystal Cores, they placed the Awakening Keys in their mouths, and the fusion was quickly completed.
