He promised to become a knight, but what the heck is Astartes?

As for the rest, they had already been arranged.

The elevator arrived at the sixth floor of the War Spire. Taylor led Rorschach out and came to the reception desk directly opposite the elevator entrance, where a woman was working on something with her head down.

"Catherine, register. Rorschach, a low-level knight, will join the Ironblood Legion, Black Tower Squad."

Taylor tapped the table, and the woman looked up. It turned out to be an acquaintance of Rorschach.

Catherine was in charge of registration at the entrance when we first entered the War Academy.

"Okay, registration is complete. Here is your identification tag. Please keep it safe."

Catherine nodded, gave Rorschach a professional smile, and handed him a brass plaque.

"Alright, now you're part of our Ironblood Legion, Black Tower Squad. After this competition, you can go on missions with Anderson's Black Tower Squad."

Taylor explained, then led Rorschach deeper into the sixth floor.

Deeper inside were various brass quest panels, where many knight cadets were currently accepting and submitting quests.

Luo Xia surveyed his surroundings, sensing the knight trainees, and found that most of them were beginner or intermediate knights, but there were none above the advanced level.

"This is normal. After all, the second stage of training will only continue until you break through to become Great Knights."

Upon hearing Rorschach's question, Taylor smiled and explained:

"Therefore, most of the high-ranking knights and peak knights, the knight trainees at this stage, are cultivating in some deep abyss secret realm in order to find the opportunity to break through to the Great Knight level."

"Once they break through to the level of Grand Knight, they will enter the third stage, where they can choose to accept investiture from the Church or the Empire and join a legion or department with a formal title."

Of course, those confident in their own abilities can choose to form their own knight squad and become free abyss explorers.

They actually guarantee job placement after graduation?

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia felt even more strongly about the top-tier nature of the War Academy: three days on, two days off, and guaranteed job placement upon graduation.

Such conditions are simply exciting to hear and thrilling to behold!

"What about universities?"

Luo Xia remembered that Renault had mentioned the Imperial University and the Imperial Examination to him before.

"University……"

Upon hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed in Taylor's eyes.

He was now only one step away from becoming an Earth Knight; this year's Imperial Examination was his chance to enter university.

"The university is a holy land that all extraordinary beings yearn for. Every July, the empire holds an imperial examination. Anyone under the age of thirty-five and whose strength is above that of a Grand Knight is qualified to participate!"

Once you pass, you'll gain access to the empire's top universities, gaining access to the empire's most core knowledge and resources, and even the opportunity to cultivate legendary breathing techniques!

A thirty-five-year-old Grand Knight?

Hearing Taylor's words, Rorschach chuckled inwardly.

After all, he was only seventeen years old and had just broken through to become a formal knight, and his physical body was already far superior to that of a high-ranking knight.

By the time he turns thirty-five, Rorschach will probably be leading 800,000 Imperial Guards in a counterattack against the subspace!

As for the legendary breathing technique...

Luo Xia's gaze swept across the mission panel, and he felt a surge of excitement.

almost.

Once this Eight Academies Grand Competition is over, he will be able to obtain the legendary breathing technique personally crafted by Vulcan.

"Alright, that's all too early for you. What you need to do now is relax for the next three days and take care of your real-world affairs."

After all, it will be at least half a month before you emerge from that abyss after the teacher's special training ends.

"I understand."

Hearing Taylor's words, Rorschach felt a slight surge of excitement.

What secrets lie hidden in the abyss rift eight levels below the War Spire...?

That night, the Golden Griffin Tavern was once again booked by Rorschach.

After serving a round of toasts with his Abyss Ice Wild Dog Milk, Luo Xia once again freeloaded the resources voluntarily given to him by the noble lords of Adelaide City.

"Captain, this is far too valuable!"

After the banquet, Rorschach followed Anthony back to his original home, dormitory 2341 of the War Academy.

After looking around nostalgically, Luo Xia took out some high-purity life force crystals that he had exchanged for imperial war merits from his storage space and distributed them to Aaron and the other three.

Anthony and the others, seeing the crystal radiating pure life energy in their hands, repeatedly declined.

After all, it was far too valuable; how could they possibly accept it?

"Take it, this kind of thing is nothing to me."

Rorschach's tone was serious. After hearing Taylor's talk about the knight cadets and the path of knights, Rorschach had a plan in mind.

After all, it was the great Emperor Hook who made Rorschach form the Emperor Expeditionary Force.

But at this moment, all things considered, the entire expeditionary force only has Olaf, which is still far from the target of thirteen.

There wasn't even an organizational structure.

However, after hearing Taylor's explanation today, Rorschach now has a goal in mind.

That is to become a Grand Knight and then form your own knight squad.

At that time, the four members of the current Extreme Team will naturally be the core members.

After all, Rorschach knew Aaron and the other three quite well.

"The Extreme Squad doesn't need weaklings. If you haven't broken through to become intermediate knights by the time I become a Grand Knight, then you can leave the squad."

Watching Luo Xia's departing figure, Aaron and the other three clutched the Life Crystals in their hands and secretly made a vow.

The Extreme Team will never let Captain Rorschach down.

"It's time to start Hell Week again."

Aaron looked at Anthony and the other two and said this.

……

On the eighth floor of the War Spire, Rorschach returned to his luxurious penthouse there.

As soon as the door was opened, a distinctive ambergris scent wafted out. The living room was dimly lit, and a petite figure was curled up on Rorschach's velvet sofa, covered with a white wolf king's pelt, seemingly asleep.

"Ugh."

Luo Xia looked at the woman on the sofa and sighed inwardly.

He was about to walk over, pick her up, and take her inside to sleep.

But just as Rorschach approached, Gwen groggily opened her eyes. Upon seeing that it was Rorschach returning, she smiled slightly and murmured:

"You're back. How did the banquet go?"

Gwen sat up, rubbed her eyes, and her purple eyes still held a hint of laziness, like a girlfriend waiting for her man to come home from get off work.

"Hmm, that's good, I got another free meal."

Rorschach smiled, walked over and sat down next to Gwen, and then, to Gwen's shocked gaze, pulled her into his arms.

"I will be in seclusion for the next three days, after which I will undergo special training with Teacher Augustus."

As Rorschach felt the soft warmth of Gwen's petite body, he whispered something in her ear.

"it is good."

Hearing Rorschach's words, Gwen nodded obediently, resting her head on Rorschach's shoulder, her heart filled with an unprecedented sense of happiness and security.

Rorschach finally got it!

After spending a few moments cuddling with Gwen and fulfilling her small wish.

Rorschach then told him to go and rest.

He himself went to the cultivation room inside the house, sat down cross-legged, took a deep breath, and completely calmed his mind.

"It's time to turn this gain into strength!"

Chapter 152 The World Devourer's Chainsaw Sword, Strength Soars!

"Bathe, burn incense, and pay homage to the Emperor!"

After bathing and burning incense, Rorschach began to pray to the great Emperor Hook.

After completing this set of ritualistic movements, Rorschach took a deep breath and calmed his mind completely.

Then, the Khorne skull was taken out from the system space.

[Khorusac skull: 10/8]

"Blood sacrifice to the Blood God! Skull offering to the Skull Throne! Great Blood God Khorne, grant yourself the most loyal chosen one, and supreme power!"

Rorschach held the Khorne skull, which was burning with blood flames, in his hands, his face solemn, like a sage, and with a thought of his own.

next moment.

The skull of Khorne in Rorschach's hand instantly ignited, transforming into a whirlpool of blood-red flames.

The densely packed rewards on it seemed to exude an allure akin to Slaanesh, deeply drawing Rorschach's gaze.

"Anything but Khornean affection is fine!"

Rorschach prayed, and then gave the order:

"smoke!"

The Blood Flame Wheel began to spin wildly, and the wails of those sacrificed by Rorschach seemed to echo all around.

[Ding ding ding! The Great Blood God is very satisfied with your sacrifice, your chosen one. Your slaughter brings the Great Blood God great pleasure!]

"Hahaha! Good lad! You were indeed born to be my chosen one! This weapon has drunk the blood of countless imperial hounds; it thirsts for slaughter, thirsts for roaring! Take it, use it to tear apart any enemy who dares to stand in your way, let the entire galaxy hear its roar!"

[Congratulations on obtaining: World Eater Chainsaw Sword (Red)!]

"Holy crap! It's back in! It's back in!"
