The day the sun walked across the land in the month of Blazing Fire.

    The scorching weather made people irritable and weak.

    But inside the inner castle, there was a joyous atmosphere.

    After continuously consuming four vials of Dragon Blood Potion, Kei successfully broke through and became a Great Knight!

    If Knights are the backbone and elite fighting force of a territory, then Great Knights are the mountain-like pillars.

    In any country, Great Knights are undoubtedly a high-end combat force.

    A Great Knight, who has mastered the externalization of martial energy, is like a tank-level war beast on the battlefield, invincible.

    With Kei’s promotion to Great Knight, the shadow looming over Black Stone City from Shining Light City seemed to dissipate somewhat.

    The festive atmosphere outside could not affect Su Nan.

    After his Star Ring Meditation Method was only a little over two hundred proficiency points away from upgrading, he shut himself in the meditation room, instructing others not to disturb him, and focused on preparing for his promotion.

    Three days later.

    Su Nan sat cross-legged on the floor, his eyes closed.

    Deep in his sea of consciousness, tiny energy particles merged into the third Star Ring illusion, filling in the last bit of its illusory form.

    The moment the entire Star Ring solidified, an unprecedented tremor surged like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing his consciousness.

    In silent tranquility, Su Nan felt as if he was drifting in the boundless starry galaxy, with waves of invisible warmth flowing through his body, both inside and out. The indescribable ultimate joy brought by the ascension of his life essence filled every corner of his being.

    After an unknown period of time, Su Nan gradually regained his senses and opened his eyes.

    The world before him seemed to have been wiped clean of a layer of hazy dust, becoming much clearer.

    “Is this the feeling of promotion?”

    A strong sense of joy surged through Su Nan’s heart. He hurriedly opened his panel.

    [Su Nan · Arnest, Human Male, 17 Years Old]

    [Spirit 13.25/Constitution 12.02]

    [Skills]

    Star Ring Meditation Method Lv4 (3/20000)

    Potion Making Lv2 (2641/3000)

    Creature Modification Lv1 (527/1000)

    Puppetry Refining Lv2 (816/3000)

    “My Spiritual Power increased by 1.27, a little less than expected, but it’s normal considering my original Spiritual Power was already close to 12.”

    “Constitution hasn’t changed much, only increased by less than 0.5.”

    Even without casting spells, a Second-Rank Sorcerer Apprentice, relying on their own strong physique and the assistance of energy particles, could easily crush any level of Knight.

    If they added spells to the mix, it wouldn’t be a problem to face a Great Knight head-on.

    Not to mention that Second-Rank Sorcerer Apprentices could also use magic items and contract Magical Companions.

    Speaking of magic items, Su Nan’s expression shifted, and he looked at the Blood Vine Ring he had been wearing on his index finger since he brought it back from the Blackstone Mine Area.

    Before, he could only sense the energy particles contained within the ring but could not manipulate them.

    But now, with a thought, he could activate the ring’s magic properties at any time.

    The power of the Blood Vine Ring was enough to become one of his trump cards.

    “There are also energy runes. Now, I can create energy rune gemstones.”

    “Magical Companions are also on the agenda.”

    Magical Companions are a type of magical creature. They are originally ordinary animals, strange beasts, or unusual species with special bloodlines. After contracting with a Wizard, they awaken special abilities and transform into Magical Companions.

    Magical Companions are divided into auxiliary types and combat types.

    Auxiliary Magical Companions are mostly various types of spirits, such as fairies, sprites, etc.

    These types of Magical Companions usually have strong plant spirituality and can naturally communicate with magical plants. They are very suitable for acting as gardeners to cultivate magical plants.

    In addition, some Magical Companions are used by Wizard Apprentices as experimental assistants.

    The types of combat Magical Companions are much more diverse.

    From small animals like bats, cats, lizards, owls, snakes, toads, to ferocious strange beasts comparable to Knights, they can all be transformed into combat Magical Companions, assisting Wizard Apprentices in battle to kill enemies.

    Some powerful Magical Companions can even become Wizard Apprentices’ trump cards, playing an indispensable role.

    “The stronger the original creature, the stronger it will be after being transformed into a Magical Companion.”

    “For the first time contracting a Magical Companion, the transformation target must be carefully selected.”

    Wait!

    Su Nan suddenly remembered.

    Speaking of suitable transformation targets, wasn’t there one in the yard?

    That giant lizard-like strange beast!

    Su Nan’s eyes immediately lit up.

    A strange beast with Dragon Lizard bloodline, if transformed into a Magical Companion, it would definitely become another powerful fighting force in his hands!

    Worth a try!
