A situation like this has never happened.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll try one more time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elron immediately cast Evil Purification again, concentrating the brilliant pillar of light on Lurans’s abdomen, the location of his Sea of Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how hard Elron tried, the mass of Dark Energy within the Sea of Qi persisted, showing no signs of dissipating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lurans hesitated for a moment, then couldn’t resist reaching out with his own Fighting Qi to touch the energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, doing so would have brought excruciating pain, so he was apprehensive now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>VMMMM—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the dark energy and Fighting Qi made contact, the energy flared up, like a lit candle suddenly plunged into a tank of pure oxygen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark energy instantly expanded, as if it had devoured and absorbed the wisp of Fighting Qi it had just touched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The familiar pain never came. The now-larger mass of dark energy simply nestled quietly within his Sea of Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at that moment, Lurans was astonished to find that he could now control this energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, stop, Lord Magic Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lurans stopped Elron from making a third attempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t think this Dark Energy can be removed, but it no longer seems to be harming me. In fact, I can control it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steeling himself, the old man fed it another large gulp of his Fighting Qi, causing the dark energy to expand once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he manipulated it, the energy manifested over his palm, forming a sharp blade along the edge of his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this like having an extra Attribute?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronin was amazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Lurans’s Attributes are Flame and Thunderbolt. What is this? Has he gained the Dark Attribute? But a person’s Attributes are supposed to be immutable!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This energy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elron stepped forward to examine it. \"It seems similar to Witch Soul Power, but it doesn’t feel as oppressive, and it lacks any corrosive properties.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does that mean he can’t replicate the move he used against Ossen Count?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day, Lurans had used the Witch Soul Power to completely cripple Ossen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Now that my grandfather can use this energy at will, if it’s still as potent as before, doesn’t that mean he can cripple whomever he pleases?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some testing, the three of them confirmed that this was indeed the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Witch Soul Power previously inside Lurans was a rabid dog, then the transformed version was now as docile as a lamb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s just call it a gift from the Seven Gods for having to put up with me for so long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lurans comforted himself with that thought and stopped worrying about the extra power in his body, deciding to treat it as simply having gained a new Attribute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swung his legs over the side of the bed and stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the weakness from being afflicted for so long had not yet faded, his mind and body felt incredibly light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he channeled his Fighting Qi, surging Thunderbolt and Flame intertwined, covering his body and condensing into an almost corporeal armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powerful aura and pressure that washed over them made Ronin’s heart pound in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’My grandfather is no ordinary Meteor Knight,’ Ronin thought. ’At the very least, his presence is far stronger than mine.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the exhilarating freedom of channeling his Fighting Qi at will, Lurans couldn’t help but laugh aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After so many years of suffering, the bitterness had finally turned to sweet relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronin couldn’t help but ask, \"Grandfather, what level would you say your Power is at right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, his grandfather’s power should have regressed after so many years of suffering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before I was afflicted, I had already been at the Meteor Level for many years. I suppose you could say my power was at its peak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lurans sounded wistful. The concept of ’power level’ had scarcely crossed his mind over the past several years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although I was suppressed all these years by what you call Witch Soul Power, it and I were in a constant state of conflict. While I never had the chance to break through the ’Body Wheel’ in my heart, my Sea of Qi and my meridians were strengthened through repeated cycles of destruction and reconstruction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Fighting Qi were rainwater, Lurans’s body was now like parched earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could now hold a great deal of rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With more rainwater accumulated, his Sea of Qi and meridians were bound to become even stronger once they recovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly clenched his fist. The Fighting Qi Armor on his body dissipated, and a wind stirred within the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once my body fully recovers, my power should advance even further.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man’s former imperious gaze was gradually returning. \"At that point, advancing to Silver Moon Knight should not be difficult for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A joyous expression appeared on Ronin’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wushan Territory will have a Silver Moon Knight, and with Melonika at the Meteor Level, that’s some serious power, even without counting anyone from Wubei Territory.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If you include me, Ridder, and Elron, then Wushan Territory will have five powerhouses at the stage of Breaking the Limit of Chonglun. A Wushan Territory this powerful would surely give our neighbors some sleepless nights!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My boy, I owe my life to you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lurans turned, his voice filled with gratitude and affection. \"It is the Wushan Clan’s honor to have such an outstanding heir as you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronin laughed. \"It’s not my doing. Elron is the one who helped you escape your predicament.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elron gave a slight bow. He wanted to say it was all thanks to a gift from Ronin, but he held his tongue, realizing it might expose the secret of Ronin’s ability to enhance their power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lurans chuckled. He could actually tell that Ronin was the source of it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had inquired before; Elron had gone from an Intermediate Mage to the Advanced Level, and now to a Magic Master. He didn’t believe for a moment that Elron had simply been hiding his true power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lurans suspected the man’s rapid increase in power had to be related to Ronin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are the Lord of Wubei Territory, and they are your followers. The credit naturally falls to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s the same with military achievements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Great Lord rewards a Minor Lord with land and money according to their achievements, and the Minor Lord in turn rewards his followers as he sees fit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me, Ronin, my boy, what can I give you to express my thanks?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon hearing this, Ronin just shook his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had helped Lurans simply to repay the kindness and care his grandfather had shown him in the past; he never intended to ask for anything more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re family. Seeing you healthy again is the greatest reward I could ask for.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lurans was very pleased. He walked over and clapped Ronin on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good boy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mused for a moment. \"I hear you’re building a port in Wubei Territory. That must require a great deal of labor and money. I’ll give you those, then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a pity the Noble Title of Marquis isn’t something I can just give away, otherwise, I’d give it directly to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having experienced such great ups and downs in life, he had come to see the Noble Title as less important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giving it to a deserving descendant would not be a bad thing at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the laws of the Kingdom stipulate that a person cannot pass on their Noble Title to a descendant until after their death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronin’s eyes curved into a smile. \"Grandfather, how many men and how much money are you planning to give me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, didn’t you just say you didn’t need anything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronin spread his hands. \"I never said that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Men and money were strategic resources. Since his grandfather had brought it up, he wasn’t going to be polite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the men, I’ll have someone draw up a plan. As for the money, how much do you need?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronin asked tentatively, \"How about... a Hundred Thousand Gold Coins?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Hundred Thousand Gold Coins was the amount required for the \"Prosperous Fortune\" achievement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lurans could provide that much money to help him complete the achievement, he would gain 8,000 Energy Essence in one fell swoop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, not only could he raise Macken to the Meteor Level, but he could even help Ridder advance directly to the Silver Moon rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A Marquis’ Domain with two Silver Moon Knights... This was truly the beginning of their rise to power.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lurans’s mustache twitched as he chuckled and chided, \"You little rascal. You knew I had a Hundred Thousand Gold Coins, didn’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1561,"2026-05-28T18:54:30.469Z","2026-06-01T04:28:44.603Z",1,"novelbin.me","6604ea5a5af3fe67ff87cd8d1f465b8b042d3ea594a97810e0a13318275ce8a2","lord-stripped-of-my-inheritance-from-the-start-chapter-372","lord-stripped-of-my-inheritance-from-the-start-chapter-370",402,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flord-stripped-of-my-inheritance-from-the-start-cover.jpg"]
