Chapter 177 Congratulations

Abel was called out of the logistics department and said suspiciously, "Strange, you seem different today?"

"Your feeling is very accurate!"

Clown responded jokingly, "I'll take as many low-quality spirit coins as you can buy now."

“Ahem.”

Abel almost choked on his own saliva: "You kidnapped a group of high-level alchemists who are proficient in tempering? Are you kidding?"

He really couldn't think of any reason why the other party could handle so many inferior spirit coins. Even if he was a high-level alchemist who was proficient in tempering, it would be impossible for him to temper infinitely due to the limitation of purification materials.

The price of purification materials is now rising steadily. If the alchemists had not joined forces to control the price of materials, the profit margin of the Golden Spirit Coin would have dropped a lot.

Klauen waved his hand and said, "Just take them. If it's beyond my ability to handle, I'll notify you in advance. Also, I need a batch of auxiliary potions for the second-level giant bear breathing method and the rock breathing method. I need them tomorrow night."

After the Golden Light Spell was upgraded to the second level, he could draw talismans in the air.

After experiments, it was found that one golden talisman could currently purify about 10 gray spirit coins into gold spirit coins.

These days, he practiced fire breathing and contemplated the Golden Light Mantra for about two hours every day. The Sun Fire Liquid he obtained was enough to draw five talismans.

He has now stored enough Sunfire Liquid, so he can process at least fifty Gray Spirit Coins every day and store some Sunfire Liquid for combat.

. . . .

There are seven days left until the full moon night, in the forging workshop.

Crown leaped high into the air and pounded the ground with his two terrifyingly thick arms.

"Boom", the ground shook and a cloud of dust rose.

Two hot currents spread from the fists to the body, and a faint sense of joy rose from the heart.

At this moment, he had already mastered the Giant Bear Breathing Technique and the Rock Breathing Technique to the third level.

Crown stopped practicing breathing techniques, exhaled a long breath, and summoned a golden wall.

[Giant Bear Breathing: 12/8000; Level 3] (The spirit of the giant bear resides in your body, making your power more wild. Passive ability: Permanently increase basic strength by 5%.) [Rock Breathing: 672/8000; Level 3] (Long-term exercise has enhanced your physique, and your skin is more resilient. Passive ability: Reduces physical damage by 10% and elemental damage by 5%.) The two ordinary breathing methods can only improve a certain physical attribute, and the bonus to him is even better than the fire breath.

The introduction of Fire Breath says that it can slightly increase attributes such as strength, agility, and physique. Based on experience, the improvement to a certain basic attribute should not exceed 5%. Perhaps it is the influence of the Golden Light Curse that prevents it from showing its original effect.

Having acquired two very good passive abilities, he became interested in practicing several more breathing techniques. He wanted to try the same type of breathing techniques to see if they could produce overlapping passive effects.

In addition, he still lacked a breathing method to increase his speed.

These can be slowly experimented later. Now, he needs to improve his abilities a little more and then confront Archbishop Flanders.

After observation, he found that when the forging workshop was not rushed, the blacksmiths only needed to work 60% of the time each day to complete the tasks required by the church. The rest of the time, the two senior blacksmiths would give some compensation to their subordinates to do some private work.

But private work does not require many people, and there is a group of blacksmiths and apprentices who are idle.

Crown made use of these people. He paid for consumables such as ore and coal and asked them to help him refine fine iron ingots.

These people are very motivated as they get two salaries for one job.

He roughly calculated that he could save about 40% of the Gold Spirit Coins compared to purchasing refined iron ingots from outside.

Crown came to the place where the fine iron ingots were stored, picked up an ingot in each hand, and activated his gold-eating ability . . . .

There are three days left until the full moon night.

In the past few days, Crown has been using the Fire Cube and visualizing the Golden Light Mantra.

With sufficient materials, his gold-eating ability was greatly enhanced, and the iron essence he obtained could barely cover one of his palms.

It doesn't take any extra time for Crown to process the gray spirit coins, he just needs to soak them in talisman water.

During this period, he processed fifty to sixty gray spirit coins every day. Excluding the cost of purchasing the gray spirit coins and the expenses of potions and refined iron ingots, he accumulated more than four hundred gold spirit coins.

In the afternoon, Crown came to the Archbishop's room and knocked on the door.

“Boom, boom!”

At this time, Flanders was holding a glass of white wine in his hand, leaning back in a high-back chair with a serious expression.

He looked a little unhappy. The afternoon was his time to think and relax, and people close to him knew that they should not disturb him at this time.

"Come in!"

What is this old man doing? Judging from his tone, he is in a bad mood. Have I hit a powder keg? Klauen curled his lips slightly and could only push the door open.

"Why aren't you working in the forge at this hour?"

Flanders put down his wine glass, took out some documents from the desk and took a look: "What have you been doing these days? You have just finished the workload of a senior blacksmith. With your ability, it is very inappropriate."

He had witnessed the other party's efficient forging technology with his own eyes, and had originally expected the workshop to produce more equipment this month. Now, this expectation has been shattered.

Without saying a word, Crown stretched out his palm and exhaled fire. The red light illuminated his face.

Since he has not yet learned how to condense the Armor of Life Stream, he can only use this method to prove that he has become a third-level transcendent.

Flanders' eyes widened, and the surprise in his eyes could not be concealed.

He suddenly picked up the glass and drank the wine in it: "How old are you this year?"

"Twenty-four."

After answering calmly, Clown asked, "Sir, what benefits can a third-level flame fighter enjoy?"

According to what he had learned, the third-level transcendents seemed to be bishops.

"It seems that the potential hidden in your bloodline has been fully stimulated. I originally thought that the next person in the parish to become a third-level person should be Tula or Nick. You really gave me a big surprise."

A hint of red blush appeared on Flanders' face. He stood up and said, "Don't talk about treatment first. Let me test your current strength first."

"Archbishop, I haven't learned the methods of a third-level transcendent yet?!"

Apart from anything else, the Armor of Life Stream can absorb damage, a signature skill of this third-level transcendent that he doesn't even know!

He now only possesses the physical fitness of a third-level transcendent and has not yet developed the combat power of this level.

His rapid growth resulted in many of his damaging skills being at a low level, with only a few basic abilities at the extreme stage to support him.

"That's right, you haven't learned it yet. I just want to feel your current strength. Come with me."

. . . .

Underground training ground.

Flanders pushed open the closed door and shouted, "Old friend, isn't it too boring to practice alone?"

Crown saw that Bishop Cavendish was practicing swordsmanship.

"Soldiers need to train for a certain amount of time every day to maintain their combat effectiveness. What do you want to talk to me about?"

"I have brought you an opponent," Flanders said, pointing at the person next to him:

"A twenty-four year old flame fighter, are you interested in training him?"

Cavendish paused, knitting his eyebrows together. “Nick’s intelligence mentioned that he had only been a Flame Warrior for a few months.”

"Yes, it has only been half a year since he advanced to the Fire Warrior. I think the power of his bloodline has been fully stimulated, and he has a powerful bloodline similar to that of the Son of God."

Flanders said with some regret: "He has just advanced, you can try to see how strong he is now. He is also a fire fighter, and only you can teach him."

Cavendish nodded and pointed to the weapon rack. "Pick a weapon that's handy."

After saying this, he released the Armor of Life Stream, and the red light disappeared into his skin.

Crown picked up a hammer in his left hand and a sword in his right.

He crossed his two weapons in front of his chest, bowed slightly and said, "Sir, be careful."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Compared to the first time he fought against the opponent, he was much stronger.

Now, his basic physical attributes have been enhanced by the three breathing methods and the Golden Light Mantra, with his strength increased by about 20%, his speed increased by about 15%, and his physique and endurance increased even more, by about 30%.

If combined with breathing techniques, the increase in strength attributes will be even more significant.

"Just use your strongest strength," Cavendish smiled. Although he was already over fifty years old, as a top-level third-order transcendent, his body was not in poor health.

Generally speaking, the life span of an ordinary person is about 60 years old, a first-level extraordinary person can reach 80 years old, a second-level extraordinary person can reach 120 years old, and a third-level extraordinary person can live to 160 years old. He is still very young now.

Klauen released the Moon Spirit Shield and Golden Armor, and quietly released the Fire Cube's armor-condensing ability, covering his chest with the essence of iron, and then rushed forward in small steps.

While running, he practiced the Giant Bear Breathing Technique, and his arms became thicker than before.

When he was about to get close to the target, he accelerated again, his body rushed in front of the opponent like a flying firecracker, and his sword stabbed out like a poisonous dragon.

The hammer in his left hand is for defense, and the sword in his right hand is for attack. He can switch between them at any time during battle. This is the fighting style he planned.

Although his tone did not show that he took his opponent seriously, his heart was always on edge. As a veteran, Cavendish certainly knew that even a lion must try its best to fight a rabbit.

He stepped aside to avoid the stabbing weapon, and stabbed the oncoming opponent with the sword in his hand.

Crown raised his left hand and knocked his opponent's weapon away.

He did an experiment a few days ago, and when he used a sword or hammer with his left hand, he was able to quickly exert his due ability.

He guessed that it was because of the proficiency bonus that there was no penalty for using left-handed weapons.

When Cavendish's weapon was knocked away, his heart sank, because he felt that the opponent's strength was much stronger than the last time they fought!

Then, he saw sword shadows all over the sky . Compared to the first fight, Klauen learned two secret skills, and the Wind Slash gave him a faster attack speed.

The increase in his physical fitness enabled him to use breathing techniques to engage in high-intensity combat for longer periods of time.

The wild attacks suppressed Cavendish, and the lightning reaction and heavy blow effects granted by the Golden Light Spell made the opponent groan in pain. Most of the attacks were defended.

Soon, Cavendish was backed into a corner.

"What kind of bloodline did he awaken? He has changed so much compared to our fight two months ago."

Flanders wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, secretly admiring his own decision.

He originally wanted to test it himself, but later thought that his old friend, who was also a fire fighter, could give the newcomer more guidance.

Who would have thought that the newcomer would be so brave and could suppress his old friend throughout the whole process.

He understood that if he didn't turn the situation around, his old friend would probably lose.

Cavendish had a lot of grievances in his heart, he looked thin but was actually a power-type warrior. After practicing the Giant Bear Breathing Technique, he did not have a big advantage in strength.

You know, he is a top-level third-order warrior, while the other party has just advanced to the next level.

He had a slight disadvantage in speed and could not make use of his strength advantage, so he was suppressed and felt very frustrated.

There is only one way to win.

"careful!"

Cavendish gave a warning, and then his body seemed to become stronger, with a red glow on his skin.

The aura of the Armor of Lifestream was restrained, hidden in the skin, and now he looked like a little red man.

Crown suddenly felt that his opponent's strength and speed had increased significantly, and he immediately took a defensive stance.

In order to gain more voice, he released bullet time so that he could show more muscles.

Speed ​​once again took his advantage, and he used the hammer in his left hand as a shield to calmly resolve his opponent's attacks.

He unlocked a new way of fighting, with accelerated thinking and lightning reflexes, and he was able to be flawless when defending.

Crown was stalling for time. He knew at a glance that his opponent had used a big move, and he didn't believe that the opponent could hold out for too long.

At this moment, Flanders admired his decision not to take action himself, as his old friend had already released the "Fire Spirit Transformation".

This is a skill that consumes a lot of physical strength. After releasing it, you can gain a certain amount of strength and speed bonus, but it is not long-lasting and can only last about five minutes.

Now that the old friend’s energy has been depleted, the duration of the Fire Spirit Transformation will be shorter.

"Stop it, this is a draw."

Flanders shouted that it was just a sparring match, his goal had been achieved, and there was no need to continue fighting.

The two fighting men separated as instructed.

Cavendish said with a complicated look in his eyes: "After releasing the 'Fire Spirit Transformation', I couldn't hold on for too long and still had no chance of winning. This time I lost. A pure warrior will not be afraid to admit his failure."

Flanders bowed and saluted: "Congratulations, Clown! Your strength has won our recognition.

In a few days, when this trip to Lingxu is over, I will convene a bishops' meeting and introduce you to everyone.

According to the custom, a soul purity test needs to be conducted. Although I know you are absolutely fine, other bishops are required to witness it. "

Clown quickly returned the greeting: "Thank you, Archbishop. Is the Lingxu you mentioned the place where Nick and his team will carry out their mission?"

"Yes, once you become a third-level extraordinary person, your permissions will be unlocked and you can browse all the books in the library."
