    The cultivation novel somewhat fits your requirements, as it includes an awakening plot, but it's not a traditional awakening. It's more like a spiritual root system, where martial acupoints are opened before cultivation. There are eight martial acupoints in total, and all eight are opened when cultivating to the first level. Different martial acupoints correspond to different abilities, but the first martial acupoint that is awakened has the primary ability.
