Chapter 351: Breakthrough

After handling the affairs of the territory, Luoning finally had the time to improve himself.

He opened his Attribute Panel, and the information on it made his spirit feel delighted.

【Level】: 6-Golden Knight (2500/2500); 6-Magus (1699/3500)

【Attribute Point】: 2458

【Energy Essence】: 11825

The four achievements completed in succession brought him a very considerable amount of Attribute Points and Energy Essence.

"Finally, I can level up!"

Meteor Knight, Great Archmage—these are figures in the forest of true powerhouses, and they are existences capable of changing the situation on the battlefield.

Luoning did not linger, adding all 1410 Attribute Points to his Magus level.

As the progress bar filled, he only felt as if some shackle within his body had been forcefully broken open.

Upon careful observation, the Seal Wheel in his Qi Sea had been forcefully broken open and completely disappeared.

In this instant, Luoning's Qi Sea expanded twofold, and the liquid Battle Qi stored inside the Qi Sea also began to churn, seemingly undergoing some kind of qualitative change.

Just as a Magus can strengthen the power of ordinary spells, at this moment, Luoning felt that when he used ordinary Battle Techniques, their power would also be strengthened.

"This should be the 'Power of Conquest' possessed by a Meteor Knight, right?"

Back then, Amikusi, who had advanced on the spot, made it difficult for Luoning and several others to deal with even by joining forces; this kind of power of conquest is indeed not to be underestimated.

At the same time, the Seal Wheel in his Mana Space was also broken open, and he could feel that his Mana Space had received a huge improvement.

For a Great Archmage, he can leave the Spell Patterns of some low-level Magic in his Mana Space, triggering them directly when needed instead of having to draw them on the spot.

In other words, a Great Archmage can achieve the instant casting of low-level Magic.

And as a Magician's Mental Power increases, the level of Magic that can be cast instantly will become higher and higher.

This ability strengthens a Magician's operability during combat to a certain extent.

Even when facing a situation where a Knight gets close, as long as the opponent is not too strong, there is room for operation.

Luoning looked at the Attribute Panel to understand the level progress of a Level 7 Knight and Magician:

【Level】: 7-Meteor Knight (0/4000); 7-Great Archmage (0/6000)

【Attribute Point】: 1048

【Energy Essence】: 11825

It requires 6000 points to go from Great Archmage to Magus.

"Beila."

The maid waiting outside the door pushed it open and entered, "My lord, do you have any orders?"

"Go and have Aierlong come over."

With his current ten thousand plus Energy Essence, it should be enough to allow Aierlong, who is still a Magus, to advance directly to a Magus.

He really wanted to know what unexpected surprises Aierlong's improvement would bring him.

While waiting, Luoning added the remaining 1048 Attribute Points to his Knight progress.

A Meteor Knight cultivates the "Body Wheel," which is an existence similar to an acupuncture point located at the Knight's heart.

Strengthening it can further improve a Knight's physique.

It is said that a Silver Moon Knight not only reaches an impeccable level in physical strength, endurance, speed, and explosive power, but their physical toughness is such that even arrows and ordinary objects cannot cause them harm.

If a Meteor Knight can change the situation of a battle, then a Silver Moon Knight can control the outcome of the war.

Luoning took a deep breath; his rapidly soaring strength made him restless, and he couldn't help but stand up and practice his martial arts for a while.

"As I am now, I can at least face the siege of three Golden Knights simultaneously."

This is only in terms of close-quarters combat.

If Luoning mastered Level 7 Battle Techniques and the secret techniques he obtained from King Bruno, the number of Golden Knights he could fight at once would increase significantly.

Before long, Aierlong knocked on the door and entered, "My lord, did you call for me?"

He secretly guessed in his heart if the lord had just forgotten to tell him something, which was why he had called him over again.

"Aierlong, I want to improve your strength."

Luoning smiled: "Guess, what realm can I raise you to this time?"

Aierlong was stunned.

He, Ruidar, and Maiken were all Luoning's contracted followers, absolutely loyal to the latter.

However, they also had their own pursuits.

Taking Aierlong as an example, improvements in strength and accomplishments in Magic Potion were what he pursued.

Therefore, the three of them valued this ability of Luoning's to improve strength very much.

Hearing these words from Luoning now, Aierlong felt a joy in his heart.

"Does my lord want to make me a Great Archmage directly?"

He had just voiced this guess when he immediately realized that if it were only that, the lord would not have asked such a question.

Aierlong widened his eyes: "You wouldn't be making me a Magus directly, would you?"

Luoning snapped his fingers: "Correct!"

Aierlong became excited, but then he seemed to think of something, and the excitement on his face dimmed.

"But my lord, I only have Level 7 aptitude."

Recently, Aierlong had been able to feel that the limitation of his aptitude made his strength improvement no longer as simple as before.

Under normal circumstances, Level 7 was the highest realm he could reach.

Luoning was taken aback; he only then remembered that when summoning Aierlong, it was indeed introduced that the latter only had the aptitude to become a Level 7 Great Archmage.

His heart skipped a beat—would he be unable to improve once he reached Level 7?

Then his plan would be completely disrupted!

"Let's try it first."

Luoning frowned slightly, feeling uneasy in his heart.

If he wanted to help Lulansi escape the affliction of the Soul Devouring Surge, he could only find a way through the Light Attribute Magician, Aierlong.

Luoning summoned the other party's small Attribute Panel:

【Aierlong Fao】: Magus · Light (2090/3500) +

He first invested 1410 Energy Essence to let the other party promote to Great Archmage, then continued to invest 6000 Energy Essence, preparing to let him promote from Great Archmage to Mage.

But the pleasant light did not shine on Aierlong, which indicated that the other party could not be promoted again.

Luoning's heart sank; could it really be impossible?

Aierlong was happy yet uneasy.

He was happy because his strength had reached a height he had not attained in his previous life;

He was uneasy because he saw Luoning's somewhat heavy expression.

"My lord... did it fail?" he asked nervously.

Luoning did not answer, but continued to look at the other party's small Attribute Panel:

【Aierlong Fao】: Great Archmage · Light (6000/6000) +

Although there was no direct promotion after the progress bar was full, there was a plus sign behind the progress, which meant he could still add points for the other party.

Luoning checked with his intent, and the feedback he received was "Consume 4500 points of Energy Essence to upgrade his aptitude to the Mage level."

Seeing this entry, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it required consuming a large amount of Energy Essence, at least it had not cut off his path.

He looked at his own Attribute Panel; after continuous large-scale consumption, only 4415 points of Energy Essence remained, and he was still 85 points short of being able to promote.

"It didn't fail, it's just that you are still a little short of breaking through to become a Mage."

Not having it done in one go, Luoning felt a bit regretful, but thinking that the difference was not much, he felt relaxed in his heart.

Seeing Aierlong's dejected appearance, he couldn't help but say: "Don't worry, I'll be able to upgrade you in a few days."

Aierlong turned his worry into joy and said excitedly: "Really?"

"That is only natural."

Luoning sat back down, "Tell me, what new gains do you have from this promotion?"

Aierlong's mood gradually calmed down.

"I have gains!"

He said: "After becoming a Great Archmage, a Magic Potion called 'Auxiliary Enhancement' appeared in my mind."

Auxiliary Enhancement?

Hearing this name, Luoning couldn't help but feel his heart heat up, "What is its function?"
