Chapter 421: Job Transfer Success, the Human Race Gains an Earth Knight

Hong Jishi brought Wu Lingdong and Yang Qin to Hong Shen Courtyard, this pair, who have already endured life‑and‑death trials, have become inseparable, working hand in hand.

Facing top figures like Hong Jishi and Li Xueru, Wu Lingdong and Yang Qin both appeared very nervous and restrained.

It wasn't until they saw Jiang Chen that the two finally breathed a little sigh of relief.

Li Xueru had already prepared the Job Transfer Array; he looked at Wu Lingdong and said, "You're too excited right now; first adjust your emotions."

Wu Lingdong, hearing Li Xueru's words, immediately sat down, trying to calm himself.

But the tangled thoughts made it hard for him to stay calm, even though he knew that lack of calm was detrimental to the Job Change.

Jiang Chen understood this and comforted, "Brother Wu, it's just a Job Change. Teacher Li and Teacher Hong have prepared everything; as long as you keep a firm belief, there's over sixty percent chance to trigger Profession Ascension."

Wu Lingdong worked on adjusting his breathing, admitting he was still a bit nervous.

Yang Qin walked over and lightly kicked Wu Lingdong, "Idiot, aren't you a man? You're not afraid of death, yet you're scared of a Job Change? What's there to fear?"

Yang Qin knows Wu Lingdong; her single sentence snapped him to his senses.

If you're not afraid of death, what's there left to be nervous about?

What's a Job Change anyway? Jiang Chen even prepared the precious Heart of Earth and Earth Gem for him, Lord Hong Shen also readied various materials, and the Human Race's first Great Mage personally forged the Job Transfer Array for him.

What else is there for him to fear.

His mood finally settled, and he respectfully saluted Li Xueru and Hong Jishi, "Please, Teacher Li and Hong Shen."

Wu Lingdong stepped to the center of the array, Li Xueru's hand

pointed at a spot, and the Job Transfer Array began to operate amid a booming roar.

Beams of light surged toward the sky, merging in midair into a rainbow glow, then descending like rosy clouds to envelop Wu Lingdong.

Wu Lingdong held the Earth Gem in his left hand and the Heart of Earth in his right.

The Heart of Earth can allow a Holy Knight, during Second Transcendence, to trigger a special Profession Ascension, thereby instantly becoming an Earth Knight.

If the Earth Gem is also present for Compatibility, the chance of triggering Ascension will increase dramatically.

Jiang Chen and Yang Qin watched quietly.

At this moment Wu Lingdong was calm; in contrast, Yang Qin seemed a bit nervous.

Jiang Chen said, "Sister Qin, don't be nervous; trust Brother Wu, it'll be fine."

Yang Qin nodded, "I believe him."

She said that, but Yang Qin's rapidly rising chest and clenched fists betrayed her.

Wu Lingdong at this point ignored external matters, becoming completely calm.

He quickly reviewed his years of experience, recalling that recently three of his comrades had died under a Dragon Race Blade while protecting him.

That further sparked his desire to become an Earth Knight.

Only by becoming an Earth Knight and then reaching Divine Level could he possibly break into the Dragon Race and avenge his fallen brothers.

At this moment, Wu Lingdong cast aside thoughts of failure.

He cannot fail, cannot possibly fail, and will not fail.

His belief grew ever firmer, and a thread of power within his body began to sprout.

The power from the array surged in, breaking the level barrier for Wu Lingdong.

Now, before Wu Lingdong lie two paths: one is to become a Great Knight, which is merely the title for a Holy Knight after a second Job Change, essentially no different from a Holy Knight.

Just as a Mage becomes a Great Mage,

In essence, they're all still Mages.

The other path is Earth Knight; whether one becomes an Earth Knight depends half on luck and half on oneself.

"I must become an Earth Knight!"

"I believe, humanity can overcome the heavens!"

"I won't retreat; I must succeed!"

"I will avenge my brothers, I will break into the Dragon Race, I will protect the Human Race."

The power called belief grew ever stronger.

The Earth Gem in his left hand suddenly emitted a faint glow.

Soon the glow began to intensify.

Wu Lingdong activated the Earth Gem with the power of belief.

Bathed in the Earth Gem's light, the Heart of Earth in his right hand also began to emit a faint glow.

The two lights merged into one, enveloping Wu Lingdong.

Together with the Job Transfer Array, they flowed into Wu Lingdong's body.

Wu Lingdong slowly rose within the array, hovering in mid‑air.

"It's done!"

Hong Jishi let out a low shout.

Li Xueru sighed softly, "It's been many years since the Human Race has seen an Earth Knight; finally there is one again."

Jiang Chen murmured, "Brother Wu activated the Earth Gem and Heart of Earth with belief, triggering a Profession Ascension."

Yang Qin, tears streaming down her face, was extremely moved, "I knew it, you could do it."

Jiang Chen thought of the final moment in Fusishi Jie.

It was the Human Race's Divine-level Strongman who protected him.

Even after becoming a corpse, dead for over a thousand years, the belief protecting the Human Race never changed.

Protect the Human Race.

It was etched into the marrow, deep in the soul, even time could not erase it.

Having had that experience, Jiang Chen believes the power of belief can create miracles.

Jiang Chen grew more certain that, if one day he were to disperse the corpse rot poison, those immortal beliefs…

…the Human Race's strong ones could return.

Immortal belief!

Jiang Chen whispered in his heart, at this very moment, he also held a strong belief.

Massive forces rose in waves, the heavens and earth changed color.

A phantom land floated in the sky, like a mirage.

This land was immense, covering all four directions, lingering in the air for two minutes before slowly fading.

In Jiang Chen's eyes, the land gradually shrank, finally merging into Wu Lingdong's body.

Wu Lingdong's aura rose sharply.

Anomalous multicolored aurora surged from all directions, falling into Wu Lingdong's body.

The Earth Knight is the pinnacle of the Knight profession, the strongest Knight, without equal.

Anomalies inevitably appear during a Job Change.

The Heart of Earth seemed alive, taking the shape of a heart, pounding.

Each beat caused the Earth to tremble.

Then the Heart of Earth and the Earth Gem together pierced into Wu Lingdong's body.

In an instant, Wu Lingdong's body shone brilliantly.

The Earth roared, and Wu Lingdong fell along with it.

Violent Energy Fluctuations surged outward from the Earth.

Li Xueru said, "Earth Knight, connects with the Earth's power, the Earth's endless energy is at my disposal. While standing on the Earth, the power never exhausts as much as possible."

"All attacks against it, ninety percent will be channeled into the Earth, with the Earth sharing the burden."

"Each attack can trigger the Earth's power."

Li Xueru's three sentences highlighted the Earth Knight's great essence.

As long as one stands on the Earth, battle endurance is limitless; all damage is directly ninety percent immune, and attacks gain Earth's power bonus.

The Earth Knight is the Earth's beloved child.

Ask this

type of profession, how could it not be strong.

Someone once said, "To defeat an Earth Knight, you must be above the sky. Yet against an Earth Knight, you simply cannot fly."

A soft buzz sounded, and an Aura appeared at Wu Lingdong's feet.

Then the second and third Auras followed in succession.

In the blink of an eye, four Auras surrounded Wu Lingdong's feet.

The red, blue, green, and yellow Auras slowly rotated at his feet.

The Auras, very similar to those of the Holy Light Knight, have the same effect, but are far stronger.

What the Holy Light Knight has, he also has; what the Holy Light Knight lacks, he equally possesses.

Ten minutes later, Wu Lingdong's whole body slowly descended.

The Job Transfer Array also halted, and the Job Change was officially completed.

Yang Qin, joyful with tears, leapt into Wu Lingdong's arms and held him tightly.

Wu Lingdong suppressed his excitement, "I succeeded."

Yang Qin nodded firmly, "I know, you will definitely succeed."

Wu Lingdong and Yang Qin lingered warmly for a while, then approached Li Xueru and Hong Jishi, saying, "The grace of Master Li and Master Hong, the junior is endlessly grateful."

Hong Jishi waved his hand, "No need to thank us; if you must, thank Xiao Chen. The Heart of Earth and the Earth Gem were obtained by him; otherwise we couldn't have done it."

Wu Lingdong was about to thank Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen stopped him.

"Brother, there's no need to do that."

"If it were you, you would do the same."

Jiang Chen spoke sincerely, and Wu Lingdong was not a pretentious person.

Wu Lingdong laughed heartily, "Then I won't waste words. In the future, if Brother Jiang has any trouble, just one word—elder brother will cross knife mountains and fire seas without blinking."

Jiang Chen smiled, "Brother, just keep your belief."

Wu Lingdong

His expression hardened, "Never dare forget."

Jiang Chen laughed, took out a Shield and tossed it to Wu Lingdong.

"This is a congratulatory gift, celebrating elder brother becoming an Earth Knight."

Wu Lingdong took the Shield, looked at it, and was startled, "This is too valuable."

Jiang Chen waved his hand, "Don't return it to me; if you don't like it, just throw it away."

Throw it away? Wu Lingdong couldn't…

The Shield Jiang Chen gave was the finest he currently possessed.

It was even better than the Earth Touch Dragon God's shield.

From the Ancient Battlefield's Upper Layer Core Area came the "Battlefield Snake Turtle".

"Turtle Shrink Shield (Knight exclusive): Platinum-grade Shield, All Attributes +3000, Knight defense skill Amplify 90%, physical damage reduced 20%, elemental damage reduced 20%, attached skill: Turtle Retract."

"Turtle Retract: unable to act for 30 seconds, during which immune to all damage, restores all injuries, resets cooldown of all skills except this one, cooldown 1 hour."
