Become a knight starting with synthesized entries.

Luo An's heart stirred.

Mr. Levi, is this what you mean by going to love?

Luo An suddenly found it amusing. After all, he had lived two lives, so why was he still acting like a young man?

Does being held by a pretty girl mean she likes you?

Luo An, Luo An, mature a bit.

Luo An suppressed his restless thoughts, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.

Feeling the warmth of Leia and Ya Yang's bodies, Luo An saw golden light before his eyes.

[Monkey Typewriter] is now in effect.

Luo An had already digested and mastered the trainee knight's breakthrough method.

In addition to his experience fighting Levi, the dire wolf, and powerful apprentice knights like Leia and Betang, Roan recorded, learned, comprehended, and integrated all of this knowledge.

Breaking through the ranks of trainee knights is never a flash of inspiration, but rather the inevitable result of years of hard work and accumulation.

Of course, a catalyst is also needed.

Luo An took a deep breath, and the golden panel changed.

[Entry: Calling upon the beast of love at the center of the world, triggered.]

[Current improvement: Weak.]

[Improve Attribute: Learning Ability]

It actually improved by a tiny bit.

Improved from "very weak" to "weak".

Even if it only increases learning ability by a tiny bit, it will be enough for Luo An.

At that moment, a golden light suddenly flashed before Luo An's eyes again.

[Entry: Calling upon the beast of love at the center of the world, triggered.]

[Current improvement: Slight.]

[Improve Attribute: Learning Ability]

Luo An was taken aback; the trigger magnitude of the keyword had changed.

No, that's not right. It should be one term that triggers twice.

Is this even possible?

Luo An opened his eyes in surprise.

I could clearly feel the pressure on my hands tighten at the same time.

"Luo An, are you taking advantage of me?" Ya Yang stared at Luo An suspiciously.

"Luo An, if it really doesn't work, just hold my hand," Leia whispered.

"Miss Ya Yang is a knight of a great mother. This isn't right of you."

"Ah, it's alright," Ya Yang quickly said. "Luo An is someone watched over by the Great Mother, it's alright, it's okay."

Luo An smiled, not knowing why, but he found the scene in front of him quite interesting.

However, taking advantage of the triggering of the entry, Luo An once again adjusted his heavy breathing and let it circulate within his body.

A month's worth of accumulated stress can be easily compressed into two hours.

Luo An's breathing became more and more steady.

The two girls' faces gradually turned red, and they both turned their heads away, afraid that the other party would notice.

After a long while, Luo An suddenly opened his eyes and stood up.

Breakthrough.

Luo An could feel that the wolf howl, which he usually had to consciously maintain, was now exceptionally smooth, as if it were a part of him.

Without consciously adjusting his breathing technique, Luo An could feel his breath filling every corner of his body.

Using breathing techniques has become almost instinctive.

That requires consciously using breathing techniques...

Luo An's breathing became heavier.

He clenched his fist into a claw, and a barely visible aura flowed through his hand.

Just like the aura that lingers on the [Chihont's Axe] after a long battle.

Now, Luo An could probably leave a clear fist mark under ordinary armor with a single punch.

"This is the [Apprentice Knight] level?" Roan muttered to himself.

"You really broke through?" Leia was pleasantly surprised.

"Hmm." Luo An smiled.

"I feel great right now."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Lord Luo An, I'm back."

Ryan, panting, handed over a box.

"Here's the ring you wanted; it's been a long time since I've been looking for it."

"So fast?" Roan raised an eyebrow slightly, impressed by Tonerie's efficiency in settling her balance.

"What is that?!" Several people curiously gathered around.

Luo An opened the box, and as expected, it contained a ring inlaid with a blue gemstone.

"This ring..." Leia noticed it was the ring she had given to Roan.

"It was a gift from Miss Leia." Luo An carefully picked up the ring and examined it.

Faintly, one could see the flowing wolf head emblem inside the cyan gemstone.

It took Luo An quite a bit of effort to make such a small thing work.

Hopefully, the Wolf Ring will be effective enough to justify Luo An's sacrifices.

"Leward, you keep this relic."

Ryder handed a box to Leward. His expression was very solemn.

Leward opened the box; inside was a ring engraved with the Lionheart family crest.

"Father, what's wrong?"

"The keepsake," Ryder said softly.

Leiward was somewhat surprised. "Father, why are you giving me your heirloom? Do you also think I can't win?"

"No, Leward,"

Ryder's expression was serious, a far cry from his exaggerated demeanor in front of the banquet hall. He placed his hands on Leward's shoulders.

"Listen carefully, I have always believed in you. Besides the fact that you are my son, I have seen your growth and your efforts."

"Do you think I speak well of you to your grandfather every day?"

"You spoke ill of my cousin, offended my family, and slept with commoners like a clown or a jester. Do you think I didn't know all this?"

"I have always firmly believed that you are capable of succeeding the Lionheart family."

"Your father is not capable enough to become a knight, nor can he understand the virtues of a knight."

"As a businessman, all I can tell you is that whatever belongs to you or doesn't belong to you, you must fight with all your might and hold on to it even if it costs you your life. No one can take it away from you."

"Keep this box safe." Ryder patted the box.

"By the way, I heard that Luo An has a very powerful axe. You must be careful."

"Don't lose, Leward. Everything you've achieved in the last seventeen years is for today."

"Don't let some random rogue ruin your life."

After Ryder finished speaking, he left the room.

Leward rubbed the ring on his hand, lost in thought.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared, and the door to the dueling arena opened.

Leward stood up, holding the ring in his hand. He stepped into the brightly lit dueling arena.

The audience cheered like a wave of heat, chanting the names of Leward and Roan.

Across from Leward

Luo An raised his hand in greeting.

"Hello, Mr. Leward."

"Hello, Luan Yunina."

Leiward returned the salute with a knightly salute.

Roan was somewhat surprised; among the Lionheart family members he knew, Leward was the most polite guy.

"Knights, please prepare." The referee on the platform remained expressionless.

Without a word, both of them gripped their longswords tightly.

A golden panel appeared before Luo An's eyes.

[Beast Slayer, triggered.]

[Entry: Calling upon the beast of love at the center of the world, triggered.]

[Current improvement: Weak.]

[Improve Attributes: Combat Ability.]

[Entry: Calling upon the beast of love at the center of the world, triggered.]

[Current improvement: Slight.]

[Improve Attributes: Combat Ability.]

As expected, three keywords were triggered.

After all, both girls were watching from behind.

The opponent also uses a beast-like breathing technique.

Luo An took a deep breath and looked up.

Foster Mother, Yunina, Lord Levi, witness that Roan is becoming a knight.

Please bear witness. Luo An will not allow anyone to insult you.

"The match begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo An suddenly lowered his body and rushed out. His violent momentum followed the punch, which hit Leiward squarely in the chest, sending Leiward flying backward and crashing into the audience.
