Ethan was observing the process of awakening. The energy which was inputted by the guild master into that orb was transforming into another type of energy and was entering inside that man's body.
The energy was circulating throughout his body and his every cell was getting exposure to it.
Ethan deciphered that this energy was reading his genetic code, and even if one cell had the code of a talent, then it would awaken it.
It had been almost 9 minutes, but still, there was no reaction.
However, Ethan knew what was going on exactly. The energy had found a source of genetic code, but the energy was not enough, so all the energy in the body was gathering there to dig out the information.
Now Ethan also knew how this energy worked. If he could understand the genetic code of a talent now, then he would be able to awaken the talent of a person himself.
So he was intently watching the process of how that energy was digging out the talent.
