Chapter 1019: The First Talent Brand Is Born! (2)
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It wouldn’t be long before he became a high-level apprentice wizard.
Levi estimated that Andrew had a good chance of becoming a First-Circle Wizard before he turned forty.
After all, being a Child of the Elements, a one in a million, was something Levi envied.
As a Child of the Elements, with such abundant resources from the temple and occasional guidance from Levi, if Andrew couldn’t become a Third-Circle Wizard before a hundred, it would be a waste of his talent.
Thinking back to when Levi first entered the Endless Sea.
No talent, no resources, no connections.
He had nothing, relying solely on knightly means, proficiency panels, and his cautiousness, slowly making progress to achieve what he had now. It wasn’t easy at all!
Seeing Levi’s arrival, the Divine Light Knight hurried over.
“Commander.”
“Where’s Dinos?”
“He’s in seclusion, preparing to advance to the Blood Source realm.”
“I see.”
Levi had originally wanted to see the progress of Dinos’s bloodline rune research, but since he was in seclusion, they could discuss it later.
Among the first batch of knights who joined the Knights, many had gradually entered the realm of Level 3 Knights.
At the same time, over the years, there had also been a new batch of recruits who had been stuck at the threshold of Blood Awakening Knights.
Perhaps in the near future, among these individuals, several Blood Awakening Knights would emerge.
This would help complete the Eighteen Knights of the Round Table sooner.
Seven days later, Dinos successfully advanced to the Blood Source realm.
He felt the abundant blood qi within him, the golden lion blood qi circulating, making him resemble a Golden-Maned Lion King.
The blood qi formed magnificent golden lion mane that spread around his neck, resembling long hair fluttering behind him.
“So, this is the Blood Source realm. This power is completely different from before, too powerful, too cool!” Dinos roared, breaking through clouds and rocks.
The blood qi transformed into golden wings as he arrived at the Extreme Path Palace where Levi was.
“Commander, sorry to keep you waiting,” Dinos said.
As he spoke, Andrew also entered the hall.
“You two are primarily responsible for the research on bloodline runes and Talent Brands. Let’s have a simple meeting; you can tell me about your research progress and any difficulties,” Levi said.
“I’ll go first because Andrew mainly focuses on organizing and deciphering Shielding Runes for defense. So, I’m in charge of Swordfighting Runes for offense. This is the ‘Basic Template of Swordfighting Runes’ that I’ve compiled.”
“I feel that, given some more time, perhaps I can try to create some Talent Brands of the same level as cantrips used by wizards.”
It may not have much practical value, but as a starting point for the system, it should inspire the development of real Talent Brands in the future,” Dinos handed over a book, which Levi scanned and nodded in approval.
“Well done, let’s start with the Shielding and Swordfighting research. If successful, we can gradually extend it to the other four major domains,” Levi said.
“As for my situation, it’s similar to Dinos’s. However, I conducted a small experiment yesterday and made a discovery,” Andrew said, his face showing excitement.
“Let’s hear it,” Levi smiled.
Andrew took a deep breath and opened the armor on his right arm.
There were bloody patterns on his forearm, crossing each other like circuit boards, with some nodes on top, appearing very complex.
Finally, all the patterns formed a rather abstract dragon pattern.
This was the Iron Dragon, the symbol of Andrew’s breathing technique.
The Iron Dragon’s wings crossed, resembling a tattoo or engraving, etched on Andrew’s forearm.
Andrew smiled slightly, veins appearing on his face as the bloodline seed within him suddenly activated!
Waves of blood qi flowed through his veins, surging from his limbs, and then continuously poured into his right arm, appearing on the Iron Dragon tattoo on his forearm.
Upon closer inspection, the Iron Dragon tattoo was not a simple flat image.
On his arm shield, the rusty bloodline runes formed an iron dragon with crossing wings, protecting his body!
Andrew drew the longsword in his left hand and exerted his force.
With a Golden Cross Slash, he slashed towards his right arm!
Now a grand knight in his cultivation, this strike could cleave through the kind of large shields wielded by ordinary people.
Boom!
Accompanied by the sound of impact, Andrew’s longsword was shattered.
The shadow of the iron dragon arm shield trembled slightly, showing cracks, but did not break.
Seeing this, Levi’s eyes lit up.
Andrew dismissed the arm shield shadow he had just conjured, his face pale and devoid of color.
This was a sign of depleted vitality. Levi gave Andrew some vitality-restoring potions he had developed.
“Not bad, not bad. How did you discover this?” Levi asked curiously.
Although the tattoo was too simple and crude, it was already close to the Talent Brand he envisioned.
Its power was also not inferior to a wizard’s cantrip.
So he was somewhat surprised.
“A few days ago, I had been contemplating how to combine the deciphered bloodline runes into a Talent Brand that could unleash transcendent power,” Andrew explained.
