Chapter 1021: The First Talent Brand Is Born! (4)
Andrew was both honored and surprised. “If it weren’t for the commander documenting all the foundational theories of those bloodline runes, and if it weren’t for the refinements and supplements from all the seniors, I wouldn’t have been able to figure it out… To put it simply, I was just lucky to receive guidance in my dreams.”
“Don’t be modest. Wait until the commander commends you. From now on, the research on Talent Brands will rely on you!” Dinos patted Andrew’s shoulder firmly.
“This is indeed a significant breakthrough. From now on, you can freely access knowledge up to Level 3 in the first two floors of the Holy Temple. I hope it will inspire you, Andrew. Make the most of your strengths; your future is bright!” Levi remarked.
With thoughts by day and dreams by night.
Dreams or not, Andrew must have put a lot of thought into it; it wasn’t that simple.
“After you become an official wizard, go to the Dawn Holy Temple and get yourself a Second-Circle Wizard Tool for protection,” Levi added after a moment of thought.
“Thank you, commander.”
Leaving the Extreme Path Palace, Levi returned to the Emperor’s Palace and reviewed Andrew’s research notes. After reading them, he gained considerable insights. With Levi’s knowledge base and realm, he already had some ideas for constructing his own Talent Brand; it just needed time to make it possible.
For someone of his realm, those simple Talent Brands were mostly useless, similar to the early effects of breathing techniques. However, if he could research some complex Talent Brands, they might complement his innate spells. In the future, when his vision was broad enough, his knowledge extensive enough, and his proficiency panel sufficiently evolved, he believed that innate spells and Talent Brands might even merge.
He had chosen to make his innate spells part of the “Dragon” series for this reason. Of course, this was just speculation. He estimated that he would need to reach Legendary Wizard status at least before he could begin the “Wizard-Knight Integration.”Six months passed like sand slipping through fingers, carried away by the wind.
At the end of the year, during the Month of the Northern Wind, after the revelation of creating a simple Talent Brand, Andrew hadn’t made any new discoveries. Such things couldn’t be forced. Transcendent research wasn’t achieved overnight.
At the very least, since Andrew created the Talent Ability “Iron Dragon Arm Shield,” the knight system has expanded its transcendent domain. It’s no longer just about brute force and toughness.
Levi also offered Andrew a new approach: to observe similar creatures and their innate abilities. For instance, the “Ironclad Lizard,” a first-circle transcendent creature, contains the bloodline of the Iron Dragon. Some of its abilities are likely similar to those of the Iron Dragon. By observing them closely, Andrew might gain insights.
Levi had a small population of these Ironclad Lizards in the Sea Beast park behind the Emperor’s Palace. He immediately had one sent to Andrew.
With this, the embryonic form of a perfect transcendent civilization system had been established in the Ancient Saint plane. The Ancient Dragon Empire maintained order and served as Levi’s right-hand, collecting resources within the plane for civilization operation and Levi’s cultivation.
The Dusk Holy Temple, on the other hand, constantly explored new aspects of the knight’s path, acting as Levi’s think tank.
At the same time, another institution needed to be established: a department dedicated to the cultivation and propagation of transcendent creatures. By establishing a population on a small plane, a rich variety of transcendent creatures, covering most of the knight’s cultivation practices, could be created.
These creatures could provide both cultivation and promotion secrets. Furthermore, studying transcendent creatures seriously might even lead to the creation of Talent Brands.
The path of bloodlines came from bloodlines and returned to bloodlines. When at a loss for ideas, a stroll through the Sea Beast Park might just provide a breakthrough.
Levi himself was considered a master of transcendent creatures. Therefore, he planned to find some individuals with talent and interest in this area to pass on his knowledge. He couldn’t expend all his energy on this matter; he needed talents from all fields.
…
In the year 1149 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, on the first day of the Month of Beginning, the 49th round table meeting of the Twilight Knights was held.
During the meeting, a young figure appeared—it was Andrew.
Although Andrew had not yet reached the realm of the Blood Awakening Knight, given his talent, Levi surely gave him special attention.
This meant that if Andrew made any new discoveries, he could contact Levi at any time.
During the meeting, Andrew discussed the results of his Talent Brand with the other seniors.
These old folks looked at each other in amazement, gasping in awe and calling it terrifying.
At the same time, they also felt pressure from the younger generation.
They were inspired to work harder, striving not to be outdone by the younger knights.
During the meeting, the Black Knight mentioned that he was now at the peak of a high-level apprentice wizard.
With a bit more time, he would become a true wizard.
As for the promotion potion for the first circle and meditation resources, he, as a level 3 knight, had already prepared them.
With knights leading the way and resources at hand, the path of wizardry wouldn’t be too slow.
