Chapter 55: Advanced Class Information [Solar Knights (Three Stars)]
Chapter 55: Advanced Class Information [Solar Knights (Three Stars)]
He mused aloud, "So the 'Bloodline Awakening' ritual is required?"
"Exactly", Andie replied solemnly. "This ritual requires specific reagents and guidance. While it carries some risk, the success rate is relatively high. Once awakened, power increases steadily and integrates well with other cultivation methods."
"What about Demon Hunter?"
"Demon Hunters take a more radical path", Andie explained. "They directly alter their physical structure through 'Organic Suturing,' gaining abilities akin to partial beast transformation. This method is far riskier—failure rates exceed seventy percent—but successful practitioners see extraordinary enhancements, especially in perception and reaction speed."
As the words faded, another information interface materialized before Luo En:
[Class Advancement Unlocked: Demon Hunter (Two Stars)]
[Class Advancement Requirements:
1. Physique attribute reaches 2.5
2. Complete 'Organic Suturing' of beast organs
3. Survive Biological Rejection]
[Traits: Enhanced Senses, Abnormal Resistance, Beast Transformation]
Luo En recalled the peculiar individuals he’d seen in Lizard Alley—those with abnormal physical signs. They might have chosen the Demon Hunter path after all.
"As for Arcane Swordsman..."
Andie’s voice dropped lower:
"They represent an even rarer and more powerful class. By perfectly merging mana with swordsmanship, they channel mana directly through their blades to unleash spell-like attacks. This path demands extreme requirements—not just exceptional swordsmanship talent, but also substantial spiritual energy.
"Nearly all Arcane Swordsmen were already swordsmanship masters before advancement, possessing formidable spiritual aptitude. The combination of these dual talents is extraordinarily rare, which explains why genuine Arcane Swordsmen are so few."
Luo En’s heart stirred. This path seemed perfectly aligned with his current development—combining knight-like physique enhancement with mage-like spiritual energy mastery.
A third information interface emerged before him:
[Class Advancement Unlocked: Arcane Swordsman (Two and a Half Stars)]
[Class Advancement Requirements:
1. Physique attribute reaches 2.5
2. Spirit attribute reaches 2.0 √
3. Foundational Swordsmanship reaches Mastery
4. Breathing Physique Forging reaches Proficiency
5. Complete Darkblade Crafting]
[Traits: Arcane Seal, Weapon Enchantment, Mana Surge]
"However..." Andie added, "I’ve heard that those with the 'Solara’s Blessing' might access an even more unique path after becoming Arcane Swordsmen—Solar Knights. This legendary class only appears in royal ancient records, said to channel solar energy directly. Their combat power is unmatched."
"According to records, every Solar Knight was already an exceptional Arcane Swordsman before ascension. It was their perfect fusion of swordsmanship, spells, and Solar Flame that granted them peerless might."
At this moment, another interface appeared before Luo En—but this one was different. Its text shimmered faintly, incomplete and fragmented:
[Rare Class Advancement Partially Unlocked: Solar Knights (Three Stars)]
[Class Advancement Requirements (Partially Unlocked):
1. Prerequisite Class - Arcane Swordsman (Two and a Half Stars)
2. Talent Possessed - Protection of the Sun (Complete)
3. ???
4. ???]
[Traits: ???]
[Hint: More information required for complete unlock]
"Solar Knights?" Luo En sounded surprised. "This is the first time I’ve heard of them. Even the foundational database at the School doesn’t mention anything related."
"That’s because no Solar Knights have emerged for many decades", Andie explained. "In the past few hundred years since the kingdom’s founding, only two Solar Knights ever appeared. Their power reportedly rivals even many research-focused Full Mages. Because of this, the royal family at their peak was nearly equal to the Black Mist School..."
As they spoke, the two continued walking through Lizard Alley’s winding paths.
"In summary", Andie concluded, "whichever path you choose requires solid foundations. Mastering the Solar Corona Breathing Technique and its corresponding swordsmanship is non-negotiable."
Luo En nodded in agreement. The Timekeeper’s Pocket Watch and the newly collected materials would undoubtedly become powerful tools accelerating his growth.
"Thank you for sharing this", he said sincerely. "This information is truly valuable to me."
Andie chuckled playfully. "Haha... If you really want to thank me, just give me a discount on Mana Shard Fragments for potion brewing. That’s more practical than anything else."
"If we’re talking discounts, our friendship won’t survive this conversation."
Luo En smirked, then instinctively quickened his pace, leaving this area unsuitable for leisurely chats.
Back in his dorm, he carefully scanned every corner with spiritual energy, confirming no surveillance or traps before finally relaxing.
After locking the door, he retrieved the silver pocket watch from his robe, examining it under candlelight.
The watch glowed with soft silver light, its embedded black gemstone resembling a sleeping eye—profound and mysterious.
Wiping away surface dust, ancient patterns emerged more clearly. Upon closer inspection, these weren’t mere decorations but runes he’d never seen before.
They belonged to neither the mage school’s common rune system nor any known supernatural faction’s markings. These glyphs seemed like ancient script from a distant era, each stroke radiating indescribable power.
"Timekeeper’s Pocket Watch. Timekeeper sounds like a class title", he murmured, fingers gently tracing the gemstone.
[Timekeeper’s Pocket Watch (Inactive)]
"How do I activate you?" he whispered internally, cautiously probing the watch’s interior with spiritual energy for clues.
The black gemstone suddenly flared with crimson light, as if eyes were now watching him.
Simultaneously, an ancient, weathered voice echoed in his mind:
"Seal with Blood, Pledge with Time."
Instinctively understanding the activation method, Luo En felt as though a long-forgotten memory had resurfaced—familiar yet distant.
He set down the watch, retrieved a small blade, and sliced his fingertip without hesitation or fear of pain.
A single drop of blood fell onto the watch’s gemstone—a tiny but pivotal droplet in the river of fate.
Contacting the gemstone, the blood triggered an explosive surge of energy from the watch, rippling outward like waves on a pond before rapidly contracting inward.
