Transcendent Dawn

Su Lu felt dizzy, his body hot as if burnt by an iron.

The only reason left in him forced him to continuously vault over the walls, escaping towards the city.

“Only the last outer wall left, no problem! Although it’s high, it’s useless!”

His [Shadow Warrior] abilities were fully unleashed, his figure almost becoming a black line, making nimble turns in the cracks of the buildings, using various obstacles to avoid the crossbow arrows and pursuers, leaving a group of knights trailing behind him, eating dust and roaring in anger.

In the blink of an eye, Su Lu arrived at the highest outer wall of the palace and darted up it.

As long as he escaped to the outskirts of the palace, he could hide in a slum and even a city-wide manhunt tomorrow would be useless.

With the power of Felitlin III, there was simply no way to conduct a thorough investigation of the floating population of Dragon City, let alone the fact that Su Lu still had the divine skill of the Crow’s Mask.

He ran up to the city wall, and suddenly, his inspiration alerted him, and he abruptly twisted his body.

Whew!

A sword light appeared, incredibly condensed to a thin line, leaving a long and profound trace on the city wall.

If Su Lu hadn’t dodged it, he would undoubtedly have been decapitated.

“In this capital, there are very few who can dodge my sword, you have already made me… take you seriously!”

A young nobleman came over.

He was dressed in a luxurious purple gown, adorned with violet trims, his face handsome, he looked very young, but his eyes held a sense of vicissitude, holding a simple and unadorned longsword.

As soon as his words fell, a bright flame of fighting Qi burst out on his body, half silver, half gold!

This was a Golden Knight who had already broken through the third-order shackles and was transitioning to the fourth order!

An almost master-level occupational person!

The Violet Viscount!

He drew his long sword, gave a gentle jab.

A golden crescent-shaped light-slash appeared, rushing towards Su Lu.

Three trick cards appeared in Su Lu’s hand:

– “Fireball Technique”!

– “Lightning Shock”!

– “Wooden Shield”!

The fire and lightning exploded, only slightly dimming the crescent-shaped sword light a few points, chopping at a wooden shield that appeared temporarily.

“Senior wizard?!”

The Violet Viscount’s eyebrows knitted, he rushed forward, the elegant longsword in his hand blooming with a glorious light, as if it had become a blooming rose: “Sword Technique·Blooming!”

Thud thud!

The wooden shield, which was already at the end of its tether, unquestionably turned into powder, revealing the two Su Lu behind it.

They laughed loudly, ran in different directions, straight to the edge of the city wall, and jumped.

“Clones?”

The Violet Viscount followed suit without hesitation, his golden fighting Qi was immense: “Sword Technique·Shadow Slash!”

Two identical sword lights slashed towards Su Lu and his clone.

Su Lu took a deep breath, his feet seemed to step on a certain step, mysteriously rising, changing direction in mid-air to dodge the deadly blade, before mysteriously folding again, accelerating and disappearing into the darkness of the river below.

Dance Step, three steps!

‘Surprised? I can fly!’

On the other side, the Violet Viscount landed on the ground, looking at the shadow clone in the air that was pierced and vanished, a surprised and delighted expression appeared on his face: “An interesting opponent!”

Splash!

The river water was music to the ears, then suddenly, an arm extended from the water surface.

Sopping wet, Su Lu waded to the bank, breaths coming in raggedly, “If it weren’t for my poor condition… a mere quasi-fourth level would dare not harm me!”

He stared at his attribute bar and found that after his recent ‘release’, he seemed to have inadvertently fulfilled some requirements of the ritual.

The symbol representing the Dragon Blood Baptism, glowing radiantly, had finally stabilized completely.

[You have performed the ‘Dragon Blood Baptism’ (Mutation), Strength +1, Constitution+1! You have gained a passive: Dragon Blood Baptism!]

[Dragon Blood Baptism LV1: Enhanced skin defense, increased resistance to flame, and immunity to beginner level spells! This passive cannot be improved by experience points!]

Su Lu looked at his passives and found that indeed one has been added, and his strength and constitution attributes have also been enhanced.

The dragon crystal he once held in his hand had disappeared.

“As expected of the Dragon Blood Baptism, it has significantly increased my strength in one go. And I’m also immune to beginner level spells?”

Su Lu has used Evil Spirit Knight’s card before and experienced the effect of resistance to both mid-level physical and magic attacks, hence his great expectation.

“It’s pity… if those occupational individuals of the [Fighter] class under the God of War saw this passive, they would be very envious.”

For Su Lu, this passive only added some strength and resistance.

But for the [Fighter] class occupational individuals, the ‘Dragon Blood Baptism’ ritual is a prerequisite to becoming a [Dragon Warrior].

And the giant dragon of the main world? It has been extinct in both the New and Old Continent for many years now.

“And… it cannot be improved by experience points? This is the first time I’ve seen this.”

Su Lu roughly understood that to elevate the level of Dragon Blood Baptism, there is a need for dragon blood! More and stronger dragon blood!

In the main world, it’s probably impossible, but in this world, there is still a chance!

“There’s no dragon blood, but there are dragon crystals, the essence of giant dragons, which might be more suitable… and also, there’s a lot of experience.”

Su Lu licked his lips, looked at his experience bar:

‘XP: [2900]’

Such a surprising amount of experience appeared.

“Is this the fifth-order Legend?”

At the same time, a sense of feeling arose: “Although subjected to a millennia of decay, it still formidable with such amass of energy…”

He had a premonition that the chasm and difficulty between the fifth and fourth levels are greater than he had imagined.

“But it’s okay, I have met the conditions for promotion to the fourth level…”

The heat from Su Lu’s body surged, automatically drying his clothes. Like nothing happened, he returned to the inn and climbed through the window into his room.

He looked at his own skin and discovered that although it appeared delicate and fair, if a force was applied sharply on it, it felt as if one is piecing cattlehide, impeded by a resilient force.

Of course, it was just that. If someone were to cut with a knife using force, the skin would still split.

‘The defense added by the Dragon Blood Baptism is approximately equivalent to wearing a suit of cattlehide armor?’

Su Lu knelt and pulled up his property bar, two fourth-level professions emerged:

[Ding! Fourth Rank Occupation Information – Dream Master! To take office requires a third Rank precondition occupation: Magician, Spirit 10.0, Constitution 5.0, Soul Trance LV6! … Conditions met! 3000 experience points are needed to take office!]

[Ding! Fourth Rank Occupation Information – Dimensional Traveller, To take office requires a third Rank precondition Occupation: Shadow Warrior, Agility 6.0, Constitution 5.0! Agile Steps LV4… Conditions met! 2500 experience points are needed to take office!]

“I have to advance to the fourth level. In this world, all Transcendents are suppressed, and my experience penalty is not that heavy…”

“Moreover, my strength is inadequate to extract the dragon crystal.”

“I must advance quickly, even to take office as the legendary [Wandering Mage], so that there’s a chance to leave this world!”

The door to a different dimension or something similar is unlikely to appear in this low magic world.
