Chapter 44 The Second Spiritual Aperture, News from the Cave of Fear and Sorrow
After parting ways with Cai'er, Su Zhe went into seclusion. He had accumulated enough experience and was now only a matter of time before he broke through.

Seven months later... (Hydrology prohibited)

A vast amount of light elements began to converge, and a small vortex appeared on Su Zhe's lower abdomen, endlessly devouring the light elements.

After a long while, Su Zhe slowly stopped this terrifying rate of absorption. The Light Healing Furnace in his body abandoned the position on his chest and instead remained in his lower abdomen.

Guangling was deeply moved; she hadn't expected that Guangyu Linglu would be willing to give her the house.

Su Zhe slowly opened his eyes. With a thought, his right hand was completely covered in golden light, turning into a brilliant golden color.

The Radiant Body, the mark of a seventh-tier Templar Knight, transforms oneself into a part of the light element.

A powerful Templar Knight can even transform his entire body into a radiant form.

In this state, the knight can instantly double the Holy Light attribute spiritual power he outputs.

Although it can only be maintained for a very short time, both attack and defense are doubled, which is enough to allow it to fight against opponents of higher levels for a short period of time.

"Seventh Rank, I've finally broken through!" Su Zhe was overjoyed.

Having reached the seventh rank, Su Zhe now possessed some ability to protect himself, enough to handle most situations.

At least now, when facing opponents like the Golden Beast Demon, Su Zhe no longer needs to use Sacrifice to quickly kill them.

After leaving their residence, they arrived at the mission tower set up by the Dragon Hunter Guild in Yulong Pass.

Su Zhe ran up to the second floor but still couldn't find any quests related to the Fearful Howling Cave.

Come to think of it, this opportunity in the original work was almost tailor-made for Long Haochen, and it was only announced a week before Long Haochen accepted the mission.

Su Zhe casually accepted a few killing missions to practice his skills.

"Brother Su Zhe, I have a letter for you."

As I stepped out of the mission tower, Long Haochen ran towards me.

Long Haochen has now become a qualified knight, and his contracted mount is also Haoyue.

Su Zhe still remembers the first time he saw Haoyue. The deeply hidden aura of destruction appeared for a moment, making Su Zhe, who sensed it, freeze.

"My letter?" Su Zhe frowned. He didn't have many friends. Could it be a letter from Han Qian's side?
Upon receiving the letter, Su Zhe recognized the sender and his eyes widened.

moon!
The letter was signed with the character "月" (moon), which was a secret code between Su Zhe and Yueye.

Su Zhe only asked Yueye one thing: to find the Cave of Fear and Howl!

I didn't expect to find the information in the mission tower, but I got it here under the moonlight. It's like finding a new path after a long and difficult journey.

Su Zhe couldn't hide the joy on his face. Seeing this, Long Haochen asked curiously, "Big brother, whose letter is this that makes you so happy?"

"Haha, he's a very good friend of mine. You go and cultivate, Haochen. I'm going away for a while."

Long Haochen obediently nodded and turned to leave.

Su Zhe found a secluded spot and opened the envelope, inside which was a hand-drawn map.

The map is marked with detailed information about various locations, with the location of the Fearful Howl Cave highlighted and marked with landmarks nearby.

According to the letter left by Yueye, every time she passed through a cave in the demon territory, she would send someone to check it out. This cave was the same as Su Zhe described. Although the mournful howls were very faint, they did have an impact on living beings.

Finally, Yueye specifically reminded Su Zhe to be careful. One of the fifth-tier guards went inside, but he was forced back by the mournful howls before he got far.

Su Zhe felt a warmth in his heart. The news from Yueye was crucial. It seemed that although the Fearful Howling Cave was not as dangerous as it would be later, they still couldn't be careless.

Su Zhe prepared a series of items to protect his mind and spent all the tens of thousands of merit points he had previously earned.

Aside from some pills to protect his mind, the most expensive item was a necklace. The Brilliant-grade Spirit Protection Necklace cost Su Zhe a full 30,000 merit points.

The effect is also very powerful.

Passively immune to mental attacks below level four. When encountering a fatal mental attack, it directly exhausts its energy to block one critical hit, with a maximum level of level eight.

It automatically replenishes energy over three days.

It can block one level 8 mental attack every three days and passively grants immunity to mental attacks below level 4. This is why the Spirit Guardian is so valuable; it can be considered the best among Brilliant-grade equipment.

These preparations were not enough; Su Zhe also needed to obtain something to increase his chances of success when venturing alone into the demon realm.

That thing is the Mithril Base Armor!
Su Zhe is already at the seventh level, and is qualified to challenge the Mithril Foundation.

The landlord is already at the peak of the sixth rank, which is stronger than the ordinary seventh rank. Su Zhe is confident that he can obtain the mithril base.

"You're going to challenge the Mithril Foundation?" Long Xingyu asked in surprise.

Long Xingyu knew that Su Zhe had broken through to the seventh rank, but he also knew that the landlord was still in the sixth rank category.

With the divine dragon's innate strength, once Su Zhe breaks through to the seventh rank, his chances of obtaining the mithril base will be almost 100%.

“Yes, Master. But I heard that the Mithril Foundation assessment requires queuing. I wonder which number of examinees I will be if I participate now?” Su Zhe asked.

"Don't worry, although you haven't been cultivating for long, you've made a lot of achievements, especially killing the Azure Demon Rider and saving that kid Lingxin. You're definitely among the top in the seventh rank."

After a pause, Long Xingyu continued, "I just don't know if there are any unclaimed mithril bases right now. If not, I'm afraid..."

Su Zhe frowned. There were a total of 365 mithril bases. Did they all already have owners?
"I'll go ask for you, you should get ready first," Long Xingyu said, shaking his head.

Su Zhe had no choice but to accept it.

News came from Long Xingyu within a few days.

“There are no more unclaimed mithril pedestals, but there is a mithril pedestal knight willing to accept your challenge,” Long Xingyu said, frowning.

Seeing that Long Xingyu seemed a little worried, Su Zhe scratched his head.

"I guess this counts as an opportunity, but Master, you don't seem very willing for me to take on this challenge."

Long Xingyu sighed and said, "Do you still remember the previous owner of the Crimson Bloom?"

“I remember, Master, you said that he was a hero who died on the battlefield,” Su Zhe said solemnly.

"That's right. The mithril-base knight you're going to challenge is his sworn brother. That weapon was originally meant to be a keepsake for him, but the knight wanted it to continue fighting, which is why it ended up in the exchange hall."

At this point, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Long Xingyu's face.

"Originally, this mithril-base knight wanted to exchange it himself, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I intercepted it, so..."

"So if I challenge him, I might be targeted maliciously, right?" Su Zhe said.

Long Xingyu nodded. "This is a peak seventh-tier Mithril Base Knight, definitely one of the most powerful among the Mithril Base Knights."

Hearing the concern in Long Xingyu's words, Su Zhe smiled.

"Don't worry, Master, I will try no matter how difficult it is."

Looking at Su Zhe's increasingly mature face, Long Xingyu was momentarily dazed. This disciple he had taught for more than ten years seemed to have always been like this since childhood, never giving up.
