Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

Can the knight's physical body be temporarily upgraded to an epic level? !

This potion can already be described as heaven-defying.

But since it was refined by the empire’s chief alchemist, it’s understandable.

"This potion is too expensive."

Chu Ming stood up from the ground.

Lawrence thought he was going to refuse, so he explained with a smile: "The purpose of the scarlet potion is to resolve the crisis. Now that we are facing the dark demonic tide, no one is more suitable to use it than you."

Chu Ming thanked him: "I will make good use of it, thank you."

He opened the cork of the potion bottle in his palm, and a pungent smell came out from inside.

Chu Ming took a deep breath and drank the potion that was as thick as blood.

Gulu...

As soon as the potion entered his stomach, he felt a burning sensation throughout his body. The blood in his body was running rapidly, and the blood power that he had just lost was quickly made up for.

Dong dong dong...

His heart beat strongly. Chu Ming was stunned and felt a sudden surge of energy and blood. His face instantly turned red, and traces of scarlet energy escaped from his body.

He straightened his body and could feel a mysterious power flowing through his body, filling his blood and every cell, as if his entire body was coming to life.

Chu Ming had never obtained the power of an epic physical body before, so he was not sure what the difference was between this power and a real epic knight.

But since it is an epic level body, it should be able to withstand more lightning strikes.

Under the gaze of everyone, he once again drew the sword from his waist.

"Please stay away from me."

After a reminder, Chu Ming's body was filled with thunder clouds, and his whole body brought lightning and crashed into the oncoming dark demonic tide at high speed.

boom! ! !

Thunder brewed and descended, like the Milky Way pouring down from the sky, falling on the dark demonic tide.

"Roar!"

As soon as the violent roars of the dark monsters rang out, their bodies quickly disappeared into nothingness in the lightning that carried the aura of destruction.

The thick thunder snake spread out quickly as if it had consciousness, forming a cage made of lightning, isolating the dark demonic tide in front of the city wall.

On the city wall, mages and knights took advantage of the opportunity and madly output spells and attacks, quickly wiping out the dark demonic tide that had gathered together.

It's just that this dark demonic tide is far from over, and another raging demonic tide sweeps over in the black mist in the distance.

Boom! !

Thunder roared continuously, instantly interrupting the surging demonic attack.

Chu Ming just stood in front of the densely packed dark monsters. With the blessing of the scarlet potion, his bloodline power was lost due to the bombardment of thunder, but it recovered instantly in the next second, plus the treatment of other mages. , he was able to last longer in the crazy thunderstorm.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon the first ray of sunshine in the morning fell on the earth. At this time, the raging dark demonic tide also lost its strong desire to attack, and it lingered outside the thunderstorm and did not dare to move around at will.

After persisting until this point, Chu Ming's body was already sore from pain, which could not be recovered by any treatment. His spirit was also exhausted by the bombardment of sky thunder again and again, and he had reached his limit.

Chu Ming weakly pulled out the sword on the ground. The thunderstorm gradually disappeared, and the cloudy sky returned to calm.

Before he could move, two epic knights jumped down from above and helped him up the city wall.

Chu Ming stood firm and moved his body. After the scarlet energy disappeared from his body, his physical strength returned to the dark blue level. His muscles all over his body felt sore, and some of the burning pain from lightning still remained in his nerves.

After the crisis was resolved, everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the knights were finally free to help Randy deal with the giant beast.

Randy and Behemoth are both at the three-star level of Epic. One person and one beast have been dueling for a long time in the raging demonic tide. The demonic tide cannot shake them, and neither of them can do anything to the other.

However, when the knight's support arrived, the dark beast was finally split in half by Randy's sword and dissipated between heaven and earth.

Seeing that the last trouble was solved, Crono couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, smiled and patted Chu Ming on the shoulder, "You don't know, you looked so handsome just standing in the thunderstorm."

Chu Ming complained: "I'm in so much pain that I'm almost dying."

At this time Randy came over, and the old man laughed and said: "No matter what, you have done us a big favor. If we simply let the knights face the dark demonic tide, it may cause even greater casualties."

Lawrence smiled and said: "The scarlet power will not disappear completely. It remains in your body and opens an epic path for you."

"If I'm not mistaken, you are about to break through. Congratulations."

Crono looked shocked when he heard this, "Ren, are you practicing secretly behind my back? Why are you going to become an epic so soon?!"

Chu Ming ignored him. After shaking hands with Lawrence, he was about to mention the inheritance of the law.

Unexpectedly, the man anticipated what he was going to ask, and chuckled: "I will probably stay in Reran Kingdom for another half a year. If you have any questions, you can come to me. What is more important for you now is to seize the opportunity for breakthrough. Before the scarlet power dissipates."

"I see, thank you."

Chu Ming stood on the city wall and shook hands with Randy and others. After accepting the praises of several people, he found a reason and led the knights back to the manor with Crono.

After returning from the noisy battlefield to the quiet manor, both of them relaxed and felt sleepy instantly.

"I can finally sleep peacefully. I'm almost sleepy to death."

Crono yawned, his eyes looking a little sleepy.

Chu Ming also felt a little tired, "I'll go back and take a rest first."

After bidding farewell to Crono, Chu Ming returned to his original room, took off his armor, and after bathing his body, he fell into a tired sleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.

The light and shadow outside the curtains moved, and the sky gradually dimmed. When the time came to night, Chu Ming woke up from his deep sleep.

He got up, opened the curtains, looked at the garden outside the window, and moved his body.

He had slept for a full twelve hours. The pain in his body caused by using the Sword of Reception had completely disappeared, and his mental state had returned to fullness.

In this intact state, Chu Ming already felt that his physical body and bloodline power had reached their limits. It was time for him to find an opportunity to fully penetrate the mysteries of bloodline and advance to the epic level.

But before that, Chu Ming planned to go to Crono to find out what the big shots in Beltram were about the new dark demon nest, and what the dwarf army could achieve.

After changing into a comfortable knight uniform, Chu Ming walked out of the corridor and went to the dining table in the hall under the guidance of the maid.

In front of the long dining table, Crono was enjoying dinner with the knights of the Burning Knights.

"Ren? Are you awake? Come and sit, I've prepared a seat for you."

After seeing Chu Ming come out, Crono's eyes lit up and he cordially invited him into his seat.

Chu Ming gave him a strange look, "Why are you so attentive all of a sudden?"

Crono said with a sneer: "When I just got up at noon today, my grandfather came up to me and wanted to chat with you, but he left after I said you were going to bed. Before leaving, he asked me to take good care of you. "

"I am not following the will of my family."

Chu Ming dealt with the food on the plate and asked: "What do Archduke Harlowen and the mayor say, and how to deal with the additional dark demon nest."

When Crono heard this, a smile appeared on his face, "Originally, Grandpa and the others were discussing whether to abandon Beltram temporarily and come back after the storm has passed."

"Originally, they have decided to retreat. Unexpectedly, the dwarf army has already solved the dark demon nest along the way and sent an advance team to report the news to us. I estimate that it will take another day or two before the dwarf army can reach Belt. There is a dark demon nest in the north of Ram, and we just need to wait peacefully and beware of the dark demon tide."

As he said that, he breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as the dwarf army solves Beltram's dark demon nest, peace should be restored here."

Chu Ming felt relieved and enjoyed his dinner.

"Is there any training ground nearby? I plan to practice breathing techniques and find an opportunity to advance to the epic level as soon as possible."

Crono paused while eating his steak and said enviously: "My magic brain has only been built to 90% now, and it will take at least five years to break through."

Speaking of the magic external brain, Chu Ming's cultivation progress is actually much lower than Crono's. It has only reached 40%, which is the scale of 800,000 magic units, and is still short of 1.2 million magic units. Only in this way can the entire magical external brain be completely constructed.

However, Chu Ming's construction speed was already faster than Crono's. Crono would never let go of the opportunity to practice meditation whenever he had the opportunity, while Chu Ming also had to take care of the practice of the knight's secret method.

Even so, it only took Chu Ming more than two years to complete the construction of nearly half of the magic external brain. If other mages knew about this speed, they would probably be pissed to death.

The construction of the magic brain is a hard work of water grinding and ink, which requires a lot of patience. The more anxious you are, the more likely it is to fail. This is also why the mage has a higher chance of success when building it in one go. But when it comes to the second or third time... the mage will fail because of too much pressure. Being too impatient leads to failure.

Unlike mages who pursue stability to break through epics, knights who want to break through need to fight more to accumulate insights and challenge their limits in hearty duels. The more unstable the knight's strength is, the closer the breakthrough is. Therefore, there are knights who have broken through through battles. It's not unusual.

Originally, Chu Ming was on the verge of a breakthrough. With the help of the scarlet potion, the blood power in his body finally reached perfection. As long as he could fully comprehend the meaning of the Thunder Dragon Bird, he would be able to officially advance to the epic level.

After the two of them finished eating, Crono took Chu Ming to a small training ground behind the manor.

This is where Crono usually used to practice his spells. After he experienced the powerlessness against the golden-scaled monster in Thorn Flower County a few years ago, he made up his mind to practice his fighting skills well.

After all, he also studies dark creatures. He can't always run away when he sees dark creatures. He wants to overcome his inner fear and be like Chu Ming, who can face dark creatures with a normal expression.

The small training ground is located behind the grape vine garden. Few people usually pass by here, and the surrounding area is extremely quiet. It is indeed a good place for training.

Chu Ming pulled out the dark shadow. He planned to start practicing at night and touch the true meaning of bloodline as soon as possible.

After Crono knew Chu Ming's plan, he withdrew from the training ground, leaving him alone.

After standing firm, Chu Ming adjusted his posture and his breathing rate gradually stabilized.

He held the dark shadow with both hands, and the blood in his body started to circulate. Dark clouds gradually condensed around his body, and the lightning flashed inside, illuminating the dark corners of the training ground.

Chu Ming sank his body, and his breathing became rhythmic and regular. At this moment, he seemed to be possessed by the Thunder Dragon Bird, and a trace of coercion flowed out along with the thunder, hitting the target where Crono usually practiced his spells.

The blood power in his body began to rhythm with his breathing, and a dark cloud filled the air, wrapping him inside.

Chu Ming felt as if he was lifted up by the gentle clouds and reached the cloud layer.

Boom!

Thunder flashed, and in front of Chu Ming, a huge figure hidden in the thundercloud appeared. He felt that the distance between himself and the huge black shadow was closer than ever before, as if he could touch the feathers of the figure behind the thundercloud just by stretching out his right hand. scale.

Chu Ming took a deep breath. The more he reached this moment, the calmer he became. He did not choose to rush into contact with this power as before.

He floated in mid-air, crossed his legs, stared at the black shadow in the thundercloud, and began to think of the Thunderlark.

After a day and a night passed, from an outsider's perspective, Chu Ming stood on the training ground as if he had become a statue, holding the sword in both hands without moving.

However, the power that filled the training ground became more and more terrifying. Even the knights who were just passing by could feel the suffocating aura. This made everyone feel trance-like. Chu Ming, who was standing still in front of them, disappeared, and endless thunderclouds filled the air. , they seemed to see a huge figure crawling in the thundercloud, and the coercion emanating from its body became more and more terrifying with the thunder surrounding it, as if this huge figure in the thundercloud woke up from its deep sleep. , it will be like endless thunderstorms raining down on the world.

Another day has passed, and the dwarf army has arrived at Beltram and begun the work of clearing out the Dark Demon's Nest.

With the support of the dwarf legion, the imperial legion led by Lawrence was able to rest, so the man also took advantage of his free time to come to Crono's manor.

On the stone road, Crono and Lawrence chatted happily. The two passed through the grape vine garden and saw the training ground not far away.

In their eyes, the training ground was enveloped in thunderclouds, and the lightning inside flashed from time to time, illuminating Chu Ming's figure in the thunderclouds.

Lawrence stood in the vineyard and watched this scene with interest, "Is this the Yun Lei secret method passed down from generation to generation by the Brick family? It is indeed extraordinary."

"In terms of power and pressure, it can be ranked among the upper echelons of knight inheritance I have seen. It's just a pity that such a domineering knight inheritance does not have the legendary part of the inheritance. Otherwise, there will be another trembling force in southern Xinjiang. The power of knights."

There was regret in the man's tone. If the Cloud Thunder Secret Technique appeared in the empire, it would definitely be given special attention by the Niho Academy Research Institute. It might not take long for the legendary inheritance to be developed, but it is a pity that it was born in southern Xinjiang.

If the Brick family is willing to share the secret of the Cloud Thunder Knight inheritance with the Empire, there is still hope.

But for these knight families who value inheritance more than their lives, it is almost impossible to get them to let down their guard and let go of the secret of knight inheritance, so Lawrence only pays lip service to it.

Crono looked at the terrifying power in the training ground, secretly smacking his lips, and asked Lawrence: "Mr. Lawrence, how long do you think it will take for Ren to break through to the epic level."

The man shook his head, "There is no knightly inheritance with Thunder Dragon Bird as its blood secret even in the empire. With that kind of creature's terrifying aura that is close to the might of a dragon, it is not easy to completely control this power. Everything depends on him. Own."

"However, the knight's breakthrough time generally does not exceed three days. Once it exceeds three days, it means that the knight has been unable to grasp the true meaning of the secret, and the hope of breakthrough will become slim."

"The thunder power Mr. Ren has accumulated now far exceeds that of ordinary epics. I estimate that he will break through soon."

The two stood chatting in the orchard, casting their gaze into the dense thunderclouds at the training ground from time to time.

Chu Ming was about to make a breakthrough, and neither of them wanted to miss the moment when an epic knight was born, so they refused to leave.

Three hours later, as the afternoon gradually passed, a sudden change occurred on the training ground. The slow-moving thundercloud began to surge, and the crackling sound of thunder and lightning came from inside.

Cronuo and Crono looked at each other. They understood that Chu Ming had reached the critical moment. Their eyes were fixed on the small figure in the thunder clouds.

In his thoughts, Chu Ming felt the throbbing in his spirit and opened his eyes from the world of thunder clouds.

His body floated and he looked towards the thundercloud in front of him. In the flickering thunder, the cloud in front of him was like a rock beaten by the stormy waves. No matter how the thunder light flickered, the shadow in front of him was still extremely deep and unmoved.

Chu Ming took a deep breath, and an extreme desire suddenly arose in his heart. He stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the thunder cloud in front of him. Unlike before, his palm fell into the air. This time, his palm touched a smooth entity, and there was a message on it. Feeling cold and numb.

"Come on, let me see your true face."

Chu Ming whispered, and his body suddenly burst into intense lightning, instantly driving away the surrounding dark clouds.

In an instant, the sky was clear and the moon was bright, and the cold moonlight was falling. In front of Chu Ming, a huge creature hundreds of meters long, with silver-blue scales reflecting the moonlight, emitted bursts of dazzling light.

Chu Ming looked forward and placed his palm on the forehead of the huge creature. The Thunder Dragon Bird's head was majestic like a dragon's head but also slender and slim like a bird. It was filled with dense silver-blue scales. It was huge. His body was coiled in mid-air, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep for a long time.

"Awake and be my strength."

Chu Ming's mental power entered the Thunder Dragon Bird's body without any hindrance. The giant creature slowly opened its vertical pupils filled with golden flames, and a powerful coercion hit him. Chu Ming just felt his energy flicker, and he and Lei Dragon Bird The dragon and bird merge into one.

"Roar!"

He let out a long roar that resounded through the sky, thunder rumbled in all directions, and the plasma slapped on the silver-blue scales, washing away the dust on his scales.

Chu Ming instinctively stretched his body, and three pairs of silver-blue wings behind him spread out like a curtain to cover the sky, stirring the thunderclouds and setting off a thunderstorm.
