(Note 4: Each level of defense is approximately equivalent to the explosion level 'above Great Arcana')

(Note 5: When you complete a deep sleep, you will be full of energy and recover faster)

(Note 6: The initial attack level of each serpent shadow is equivalent to the bullet power of the 'Arcana Level'. The serpent shadow can turn and track targets. For every attack completed, if it absorbs enough 'Aura of Death', it can continue to attack and increase its own attack level, up to 'Entry', but will continuously consume 'Aura of Death'. When 'Aura of Death' is insufficient, it needs to return to your shadow to replenish 'Aura of Death', but the next attack will still strike with the power of the 'Arcana Level' bullet. Meanwhile, after completing an effective attack, it can also choose not to attack again and bring back the 'Aura of Death' for you. When all serpent shadows are deployed, your shadow will fade but will not disappear)

(Note 7: The ritual 'Orange Cat' 'Great Orange' 'Seventeen Order', under the reconciliation of your talent, does not conflict at all with your bloodline, instead it complements it)

(Note 8: The power to control water on land can reach Ascend Step. When standing 'above the Inner Sea', you are the God of the Inner Sea. Your physique and spirituality will receive a 10% increase, and the secret techniques you have mastered will be enhanced to varying degrees)

...

IV Order Bloodline!

Ascended three levels in a row!

The enhancement for Arthur is immense!

The most direct benefits are [Physique] and [Spirituality].

30 points!

Increased by 30 points each!

This nearly surpasses the sum of the past!

Doubling Arthur's attributes directly!

Not to mention the defense level brought by [Serpentine Body]!

Simply put, with Arthur's exaggeratedly high [Physique] values and [Serpentine Body] defense, standing here and letting Baro hit him, it will only be Baro who gets hurt.

And this is merely the norm.

When Arthur releases the restrictions, just at a glance, Baro would die.

Arthur couldn't believe that a 36-meter him wouldn't scare Baro.

As long as he's scared, a single [Serpent's Gaze] could kill him.

And if they were 'above the Inland River'?

Arthur could make the opponent understand what holy invulnerability means!

The surging power made Arthur want to shout that he doesn't eat beef.

However, it was too embarrassing, and Arthur couldn't say it out loud.

So, he chose a very gentle manner to demonstrate himself—

"Come again, use some strength."

Arthur smiled at Baro.

Baro kept retreating continuously.

The pain in his right hand made Lord Baro sober up once more. He stared at Arthur, his expression changing unpredictably. Even though the glory of the duel contract still shone, the lord did not dare to step forward again.

As the brother of the Old Lion, Baro may appear to be useless to outsiders.

Indeed, in some sense, he is.

But Baro, relying on his family's heritage, knows quite a lot.

At the very least, the [Physique] displayed by the Southern Lost Spirit Medium in front of him made him despair.

'Perhaps only the 'Golden Lion Cat' back then could compare?'

At the moment this thought crossed his mind, Baro's courage drained away.

Our Lord Baro did not wish to have a bullet-like fist slam into his face at the speed of light.

Of course, our Lord Baro also did not want to give up the 'advantage' in front of him.

After all...

He is not alone.

"You dare to harm me, my brother won't let you off!"

Baro shouted.

The moment these words were spoken, even with Arthur's mindset, he was taken aback.

You've betrayed the Old Lion, stirred a coup in the entire Inner Bay, and yet, you expect the Old Lion to stand up for you, to shelter you?

People can be shameless, but not this shameless, right?

Arthur had met many thick-skinned people, but never as thick as Baro's, this was a first for him.

Pistri on the side was dumbfounded.

It was evident that Baro's level of shamelessness had refreshed the young lion's worldview.

Not only the young lion, but also those inside St. Joan of Arc Girls' College, and people on the nearby streets, all had their worldviews simultaneously refreshed.

People looked at Baro incredulously.

It seemed at that moment, people were truly getting to know this lord.

But soon, many people had a sudden realization.

The Baro before them was still the Baro who couldn't hold up despite looking strong, like a paper tiger.

No, to be more precise, a paper lion...

Hmm, not quite right either.

Yesterday, he looked just like a rat.

Paper rat?

Thinking of this term, the people around had strange expressions.

Rats don't really need to be described as paper, do they? For a smoother reading experience, visit MV&LEMPYR.

While people around were filled with odd feelings, Arthur made his move.

A humble young man like Arthur couldn't tolerate Baro's shameless thick skin. He took a step, raised his hand, and gave a slap—

Pah!

The slap resounded loudly, the entire street heard it.

Baro was slapped off his feet, spinning in the air like a spinning top.

After spinning three and a half times in mid-air, Baro crashed heavily on the ground.

Wow!

A mouthful of teeth, mixed with fresh blood, was spat on the ground.

Clutching his swollen cheek, Baro's voice leaked like a deflating balloon as he shouted.

"You dare hit me?!

You actually dare hit me?!

Do you even know who my brother is?!"

Baro's voice was filled with such disbelief.

So much so that when Arthur made the second strike with slightly more force—Arthur initially barely exerted any strength with the first slap, afraid of accidentally killing the opponent.
