Chapter 518: Double Legend

"My Lord, do you have any instructions for me?"

Ruidar asked after Maiken and Suofeiya had left.

"I am going to help you improve your strength."

Luoning smiled as he looked at Ruidar's panel.

During this period, by practicing on his own, the other party had already raised his strength level progress to Sun-level (1083/20000), and his speed of cultivation was very fast.

Luoning did not hesitate, directly injecting over eighteen thousand points of Energy Essence to raise the other party's level progress to completion.

It was also at this moment that he saw the information regarding the requirements to upgrade Ruidar's aptitude:

Raising Ruidar's aptitude from Sun-level to Legendary requires consuming fifty thousand Energy Essence.

He currently had 52,775 Energy Essence remaining, which was more than enough!

"Follow me; this time we are going a bit further."

Luoning took a step and flew toward the center of the Miwu Mountain Range, which would also prevent outsiders from sensing the violent fluctuations of the baptism of heaven and earth again.

"My Lord, this is..."

Ruidar was still immersed in the joy of his surging power and was somewhat puzzled by Luoning's actions.

However, the next second, he understood.

"My Lord, do you have a way to make me a Legendary as well?"

He stepped into the void, relying on his Battle Qi to follow closely behind.

The speed at which a Blazing Sun Knight flies through the air is not slow, but compared to Luoning, who possesses the instinct for flight, it was not enough.

The two flew one after the other for a full several dozen miles before stopping in the vast mountain range.

"Suofeiya is right; with only me as a Legendary, there is a risk in carrying out a decapitation strike. But if I have you, the chances of success will increase greatly."

Having received a definitive answer, Ruidar placed his right hand on his chest, "Many thanks for your gift, my Lord!"

In his previous life, his talent was good, but the further he went, the slower his cultivation growth became.

Especially after reaching the late Sun-level, no matter how hard he practiced, he could not change the predicament of his cultivation stagnating.

According to his teacher, Sage Lafo, the Sun-level was Ruidar's bottleneck, and whether he could break through depended on waiting for an opportunity.

He had not expected that the opportunity would come in his next life.

Luoning moved his mind and consumed all fifty thousand Energy Essence; instantly, the pure fire elements in the surroundings surged toward Ruidar, and the fluctuations of the baptism of heaven and earth descended once more.

However, perhaps because only the person breaking through could see it, Luoning did not see the Gate of Planes or the Heart of the Plane.

Ruidar absorbed the elemental energy, undergoing the baptism of heaven and earth, and his aura climbed steadily.

While Luoning waited quietly, he looked at his own Attribute Panel:

【Level】: 10-Legendary Knight (0/40000); 10-Legendary Archmage (0/60000)

【Attribute Point】: 24632

【Energy Essence】: 2775

To break through from Legendary to Sage, Luoning needed a full one hundred thousand Attribute Points; excluding the twenty-plus thousand he currently had, he still needed over seventy-five thousand!

Without considering Achievement Tasks, relying on the accumulation from Monthly Sign-ins, Luoning would need nearly ten years to complete the accumulation and breakthrough.

Compared to the average person, this speed was definitely considered very fast.

Of course, if he were to complete Achievement Tasks, this time would be significantly shortened.

"Looking at the current Achievement Tasks, as long as I become a King, slay a Legendary, reach a territory population of one million, and simultaneously possess two large cities with populations exceeding one hundred thousand, I will be able to obtain one hundred and eleven thousand Attribute Points."

In other words, he only needed to complete these tiers of achievements to break through and become a Sage.

He focused his gaze on the achievement of slaying a Legendary-level Transcendental unit.

Compared to the other few achievements, this one was the most difficult.

The reason for this was that Legendary-level existences were quite rare.

At the very least, there were no such people within the two Kingdoms, and Luoning believed that there were no such level Magic Beasts in the several great Magic Beast Mountain Ranges either.

Luoning could not help but think to himself: "I do hope that one of either Yanyi or Selandier is a Legendary."

He put away his thoughts, slowly closed his eyes, and sensed his physical state.

Possessing the Shuangchong Extreme Origin Zhi Ti, even if he lost a limb, he could gradually recover through his own strength.

The strength of his body went without saying.

What Luoning was focused on were the golden chains appearing beneath his skin.

According to Suofeiya's introduction, this thing was called the "Soul-Binding Chain"; it was for binding a person's soul, but in a sense, it also protected a person's soul.

With the Soul-Binding Chain present, even Mofisite, or even the Shadow Lord, could not easily convert a Legendary into a Witch Soul Knight.

The way a Legendary powerhouse cultivates is by using their will, the Extreme Origin of Battle, the Extreme Origin of Law, and so on, to erode and devour the Soul-Binding Chain, converting this power of the chains of heaven and earth into their own, strengthening their own soul and will.

When the Soul-Binding Chain is completely devoured, heaven and earth will descend with a second baptism, igniting the Heart Fire and allowing the Transcendental to promote from Legendary to Sage.

Because Luoning possessed two Extreme Origins, his Soul-Binding Chain was stronger than that of an ordinary Legendary, which meant his Sage form would also be stronger than a normal Sage.

This was the same principle as being one step ahead leading to being ahead at every step.

He felt the wonder of the Soul-Binding Chain, and then invested all twenty-four thousand-plus Attribute Points into his Knight progress.

Luoning clearly felt that the Soul-Binding Chain had dimmed slightly compared to just before, and he could also feel that his Soul Power had grown by a fraction.

"Amazing, my Magician progress has not increased, and my Mental Power has not grown, but the range I can perceive has become larger."

After becoming a Legendary, the range covered by Luoning's Mental Power had expanded to one hundred miles; now, his sensing range should be around one hundred and twenty miles.

Now, even if he were in the deep mountains, he could sense the distant Miwu City, and could even use his Mental Power to manipulate the Elemental Power there to form words.

Moreover, compared to his time as a Great Archmage, he could now sense the strength of the other party and the color of the elemental power within their body.

Just like this earth-yellow Silver Moon-level energy body; one look and he knew it was Maiken.

"Although it is not soul telepathy, having this ability is much more convenient."

After this experience, Ruidar had basically completed the baptism of heaven and earth.

He opened his eyes, and a flash of red brilliance flickered within his pupils, soul-stirring, and his overall temperament had also been sublimated.

"Many thanks to you, my lord, for this bestowal!"

Ruidar said with gratitude once more.

Luoning asked with a smile: "How does it feel?"

"Extremely powerful!"

Ruidar clenched his fists, his aura surging, "In my previous life, I did not become a Legendary, yet I fought against Ailioute. I feel that with my current strength, although I cannot guarantee I would escape unscathed, at least I am confident I could survive!"

Ailioute is at the Legendary Late Stage, and by relying on special secret arts, he can rival a Sage.

And Ruidar's capital is the Blazing Battle Formation.

"Did you acquire any new abilities?"

Luoning asked with anticipation: "Suofeiya has Legendary-level wind and fire Magic, but she does not have Legendary-level Battle Techniques."

Obtaining Battle Techniques from Ruidar has always been one of the ways Luoning strengthens himself.

"I did!"

Ruidar said with a smile: "One is the 'Blazing Battle Formation'; back then, I relied on this to gather the strength of other Knights and ultimately perished together with Ailioute."

"Not bad!"

Luoning's eyes lit up.

This is a power that strengthens the group.

If every Knight Squad could learn the Blazing Battle Formation, their overall strength would be greatly improved.

"The second one is the 'Blazing Void-Crossing Slash'!"

Ruidar continued to introduce it: "This Battle Technique allows me to briefly abandon my physical body and transform into flames to traverse the void; not only does it possess super-fast speed, but it can also charge at enemies and cause destructive blows."

"That sounds like a very formidable Battle Technique just hearing about it!"

Luoning said with a smile: "Come, demonstrate it and let me see how powerful it is?"

Ruidar shook his head awkwardly, "I did not master this Battle Technique in my previous life; it is something completely new, so... I still have to learn it before I can perform it."

"Alright then..."

A trace of regret flashed in Luoning's eyes, but he quickly adjusted his mindset; with Ruidar's aptitude, it shouldn't take long to master it.

"Come on, Ruidar, let's spar and get familiar with your new power." (End of chapter)
