Chapter 136: Promoted to a Full Knight: Su Li's Extraordinary Power

As Su Li broke through to become a formal knight, the blood in his body began to boil, and the violent majesty of a tyrant erupted from deep in his blood.

This is the most powerful source of power for the knights, the energy that comes from deep within their blood.

The boiling blood continued to wash over Su Li's entire body, and he clearly felt that every organ in his body was strengthened.

His heart beat with thunder, a surge of vitality coursing through his body. His muscles and bones were significantly strengthened, his bones becoming even harder, indestructible. His muscles were exceptionally powerful, and with a casual swing of his sword, a sharp sound of piercing the air erupted, leaving a scarlet sword light in the air.

At this moment, he felt that he could easily smash the head of a big green-skinned guy with his fist.

You have to know that this is the most ferocious warrior in the world. Even if he is just a green-skinned boy, he can continue to fight fiercely even with a spear piercing his chest.

Su Li opened his arms and closed his eyes, feeling the boiling of his knight blood and the surging energy in his body.

[Blazing Blood·Red Dragon Monarch Flame: Allows you to ignite the blood of a red dragon within you, significantly increasing your strength, defense, speed, and critical hit rate, unleashing near-elite-level power. However, after the duration expires, you will become weakened and more vulnerable to injury.]

This is the extraordinary bloodline that he unlocked after being promoted to a formal knight, and it is the key to the inheritance of the Bauhinia family.

After unlocking the power of this bloodline, he will possess the strength of a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The door to the extraordinary world officially opened to him. On this basis, he continued to practice and gradually unlocked more extraordinary abilities, such as [Burning Blood·Tyrant's Fury], [Burning Blood·Royal Majesty], and so on.

After feeling the changes in his body for a moment, Su Li opened his eyes with joy. A bright light flashed in his eyes, and he felt that the whole world had opened up in a new way.

He could more clearly feel the emerald green wind of Jiren on the lakeside grass, the surging spiritual vitality in Lake Levlin, and the fanatical spiritual will above the knights' heads!

The knights are certainly fanatical!
Each of them had a gleam in their eyes, looking up at Su Li excitedly and fanatically.

They witnessed Su Li's rapid progress in cultivation with their own eyes.

It only took three months for the lord to break through from an apprentice knight to a formal knight!

This speed is considered genius even in the Modheim Griffin Military Academy.

All the knights knew that Master Su Li was definitely not a genius. Which genius would wait until the age of 18 to awaken extraordinary abilities?

Everyone at this moment is extremely convinced that Young Master Su Li has the ability to help the knights break through.

Even the genius Fastrick was very excited when he saw Su Li. As a genius, he knew better how amazing it was that Su Li broke through from an apprentice knight to a formal knight in just three months!
It took this 20-year-old champion knight more than a year to complete this journey!
Hild was even more nervous than after his own breakthrough. He grasped Su Li's right hand with both hands, staring at him without blinking, and asked nervously, "Lord, please feel the grace of God. Have you received the blessing of the Goddess of the Fiery Sun?"

The Goddess of the Blazing Sun is not as generous as the Goddess of the Dawn, Rhea. Like other gods, she usually waits until the knight breaks through to the elite level before bestowing divine grace and allowing the knight to possess a divine art of her sect.

But there are exceptions to everything. Some exceptionally powerful knights are favored by the gods and can obtain divine arts bestowed by the gods during their formal knighthood stage.

Su Li broke through to become a formal knight with the help of the divine grace of the empire's public celebration. It is difficult to say how strong his talent is, so Hild is particularly nervous.

But Su Li closed his eyes and felt it for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips. He said to Hildurde, "I have felt the grace bestowed by the goddess. Now the grace I have received is [Divinely Inspired Leader]."

Divinely inspired leadership isn't a combat-focused ability, but rather a strategic one. A knight's faith in the goddess allows them to exude a leadership aura, possessing not only a deep understanding of military tactics but also the ability to stabilize the morale of their troops in times of crisis.

After possessing this ability, the knights who believe in the Goddess of the Fiery Sun will feel particularly at ease when they see Su Li's back, and their morale will be stable and high on the critical battlefield.

This is an ability that gives you +8 morale.

For Su Li, this ability is undoubtedly a more valuable extraordinary ability than [Blazing Blood·Red Dragon Flame].

After all, as a lord, it is almost impossible for him to charge into battle and fight monsters and greenskins in close combat while commanding thousands or tens of thousands of troops.

The ability that can benefit the entire army is what he appreciates most.

Of course, this does not mean that Red Dragon Junyan is weak. After activating this ability, he can burst out with combat power close to the elite level, which can give Su Li an unparalleled boost when he needs to burst out with all his strength.

Of course, this ability can also play a significant role in assisting the female courtiers in their knight training.

After all, increasing attack speed, critical strike, and depth are enough to allow the female knights to reach the peak of their training on the eve of his outbreak.

As for that weak state, it is not worth mentioning.

When the Sage's Moment arrives, men are already in a weakened state, and it's normal for them to fall asleep after an outburst. Overall, he was promoted to a full-fledged knight, which was a powerful aid to himself, his training, and his territory.

In the evening, the news of his breakthrough also reached the West High Chamber of Commerce. Manager Kurt specially brought a beautiful piece of jewelry to the side of Lake Rafflin to personally congratulate Su Li.

He smiled broadly as he approached Su Li and said, "Congratulations, Master Su Li! You have achieved the breakthrough to the rank of Official Knight so quickly at such a young age. You are truly young and promising with a bright future! I heard that you even killed a powerful demon. That's truly remarkable. Here's a small gift as a congratulatory token for your breakthrough."

Su Li took it and took a look, then raised his eyebrows: "Rune ring? This is a very precious item."

Although there is only one rune engraved on it, it is still a top-level equipment, and the selling price easily exceeds one or two hundred gold coins.

Manager Kurt immediately introduced it enthusiastically, "This is a protective ring, a treasure I found in Maleburg. I had been planning to bring it back to Wester Highlands, but I didn't expect it to arrive just as you completed your breakthrough. It seems this ring is meant for you. It can enhance your defenses. Activating it also grants you a temporary protective magic shield, capable of resisting at least four attacks from the Greathorned Beast. Even today's powerful succubus could withstand one or two of her attacks."

A single rune weapon or piece of equipment could be worth as much as an elite knight, precisely because of its unparalleled power. Therefore, powerful lords and knights were willing to spend vast sums of money to purchase these powerful equipment.

Su Li smiled and put the rune ring away, saying, "I accept your kindness, my friend. If you encounter any difficulties in the territory, you can always come to me."

Chief Kurt immediately said, "What a coincidence! There is indeed something that I need your attention on, Lord Su Li."

Su Li couldn't help but smile, knowing that such a valuable gift would not be easy to get.

"What's the matter? As long as I can help, I will definitely help you solve it."

"Your Minister of Seals, Lawn, suddenly canceled today's negotiation process. We wanted to discuss the follow-up negotiations with him, but he hasn't responded." After saying this, Chief Kurt looked up at Su Li's tall figure and asked, "Could you please inquire about this matter and speed up the progress?"

Su Li certainly knew what he meant, but he could only spread his hands and said, "My friend, this matter is a bit difficult. Lord Lawn canceled the negotiation process not because of any prejudice or hostility towards you, but because our territory wants to form its own chamber of commerce!"

"The halflings have learned that shipping a set of dwarven heavy armor to Maleburg can yield at least a 300% profit. Lord Laun believes this is more worthy of cooperation."

Su Li pushed all the problems onto the half-man without any burden.

Anyway, halflings are well-informed and good at business; these are their racial talents.

Putting everything on their shoulders, Kurt couldn't find anything unreasonable about it.

Kurt immediately became anxious. He was certainly aware of the huge commercial interests involved, otherwise he would not give away such a precious guardian ring as a gift.

What he wanted was to establish good relations so as to obtain the sales rights of the Black Forest Dwarf weapons and armor.

He only needs to sell a few sets of armor to earn back the value of the ring.

After all, arms trades are all large-scale transactions, and it is rare to buy just a few sets of armor.

If a noble wants to buy armor, he or she must start with at least ten sets.

Even if the Knight family purchases it, it will not be less than three sets.

So Chief Kurt quickly said, "Lord Su Li, do you believe in the weak strength of the halflings? The border prince's territory has just experienced a violent storm and floods, and there are looters and peasant mobs everywhere. Without a strong armed force, it will be difficult to reach Maleburg!"

Su Li smiled and said, "I am very aware of this, but it is precisely because of this that our territory wants to invest in this halfling caravan."

"Because I'm sure he can complete this journey successfully. Since you're here, perhaps we can sponsor this halfling caravan together, share the profits, and share the risks."

"From what I understand, you will be staying here for at least a month. Mining blood pine wood in the Blood Pine Forest doesn't conflict with the Halfling's journey."

Su Li was very open-minded. He believed that only by making wealth together could he tie the West Chamber of Commerce firmly to the chariot of his territory.

Making the cake bigger is far more promising than fighting internally for a little benefit.

Of course, the main reason is that he has little wealth. Only by getting people from the West Chamber of Commerce to invest together can the territory be better prospered.

After all, the halfling caravan's trip wasn't just to purchase supplies in Hesse. They would also make local purchases after arriving in Maleburg. This purchase would obviously require more financial support from the West Chamber of Commerce.

Finally, when the caravan returns, all the wealth they bring back will flow into the territory.
