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

The fiery serpent that Anthony saw that day, wrestling with Rorschach by the neck, was the 'spirit' residing in the 'Fire Serpent Breathing Technique'.

Therefore, at this moment, Rorschach has officially become a squire of the Extraordinary Knights...

Anthony looked at Rorschach with envy. Rorschach was an extraordinary being, and even if he was only at the initial stage of the extraordinary realm, he was enough to kill any ordinary knight or squire.

That's why Anthony now only wants to cling to Rorschach's coattails. Although the title of baron is good, the title of earl is obviously more suitable for him!

Moreover, within their aristocratic circles, attaching oneself to the powerful is not shameful; what is shameful is failing to see the bigger picture…

"Captain, go into that alley ahead, and you'll find 'Night Owl Market,' the largest underground black market in Adelaide City."

Anthony also lowered his voice and said that as a guide, he was very reliable.

"Okay, lead the way."

Luo Xia nodded upon hearing this, exhaling a breath of scorching heat. At this moment, his body was incredibly hot, and the snowflakes falling from the sky were quickly melted away as they approached him.

Having subdued the spirit of the fire serpent, Rorschach now possessed the ability to become an arsonist.

Of course, while Rorschach could become an arsonist with his handsome face, he'd only be a heartbreaker...

Rorschach's purpose in coming out today is also very clear.

That's about making money!

And incidentally, complete the 'Emperor's Holy Fist' quest issued by the Wise System.

Side Quest: Holy Fist!

[Mission Description: Achieve a winning streak in the 'Khorne Arena'! And become famous!]

[Mission Reward: Title 'Emperor's Holy Fist'! 300 Emperor Honor Points!]

Rorschach glanced at the mission and nodded. According to the intelligent system, the so-called 'Khorne Arena' was the largest underground boxing ring in the entire city of Adelaide!

'Winning streaks are easy enough, but making a name for oneself is a different story.'

Luo Xia pondered to himself that in the underground boxing ring, a place where profit reigns supreme, the only way to make a name for himself was to join the underground boxing ring.

After all, only by becoming one of them will they spare no effort in spreading your fame, thereby attracting more people to watch underground boxing matches.

Of course, the most important thing is strength. Otherwise, if you don't have the strength, you'll be eliminated in the first round, and who will pay attention to you?

As Rorschach and Anthony walked through a dark and damp alley, they soon came to a heavy iron gate at the end of the alley.

At the iron gate, Anthony knocked eight times with practiced ease. This time, the gate opened a crack, revealing a pair of wary eyes.

When Anthony handed over two silver coins, the iron gate slowly opened, revealing a staircase leading to the underground world.

"You know the rules, right?"

The man guarding the iron gate handed over two black owl masks, then glanced at Rorschach and Anthony before asking in a deep voice.

"May the night owl watch over you."

Anthony nodded, took the black owl mask and put it on, then handed another owl mask to Rorschach.

Seeing this, Rorschach also put on a mask and, mimicking Anthony's tone, said:

"May the night owl watch over you."

Only then did the man guarding the iron gate step aside, allowing Rorschach and Anthony to enter the underground.

"Once you enter the Night Owl Market, you must not ask about my origins, reveal my true appearance, or start any disputes."

Anthony lowered his voice as he explained the rules and origins of the Night Owl Market to Rorschach.

"The entire Night Owl Market belongs to the Night Owl Knights, the strongest knightly order in our Adelaide City. They are the true owners of this place."

"And it is precisely because of these rules that the entire Night Owl Market has been able to exist to this day."

Luo Xia nodded calmly upon hearing this.

In the Sacred Cards of the North, the Night Owl Knights are a card with the number '7', on par with the [Court Mage], demonstrating their formidable strength.

'So it seems this so-called underground black market is nothing more than another cash cow kept by the powerful and wealthy.'

Rorschach understood as well, and slowly followed Anthony down the steps into the Night Owl Market.

As you descend, a wave of cold, damp air washes over you, unlike the icy air on the ground.

The air here is filled with all sorts of strange fragrances, and just one whiff of it made Luo Xia feel his mind instantly clear.

"This is ambergris, an essential ingredient in the Knight's Secret Medicine."

Anthony, who was standing nearby, also offered an explanation at the opportune moment.

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia's eyes lit up. Knight's Secret Medicine was an essential item for practicing the Knight's Breathing Technique.

To become an extraordinary knight, one must complete three steps: first, master the breathing technique to a minor level; second, break through the hundredth level of the life cycle, at which point one is called a quasi-knight; and third, by using the rotation of one's own life magnetic field and the resonance of the breathing technique, one can completely ignite the life spark within one's body!

That's what makes a true knight!

The Knight's Elixir can accelerate the cultivation of breathing techniques, allowing one to reach minor mastery more quickly.

Chapter 24, codenamed 'Khorne' (Please continue reading!!!)

After walking several dozen steps, the view suddenly opened up at the end of the steps.

This was an enormous underground cavern, with crystals hanging overhead that emitted a faint glow, illuminating the entire Night Owl Market like a ghostly realm.

All kinds of stalls lined both sides of the street.

Some stalls displayed shimmering ores and herbs, while others were adorned with the leather and bones of unknown magical beasts.

Some stalls were even selling strange creatures that were sealed in glass bottles and kept wriggling.

The people passing by were just like them, all wearing various kinds of beast masks, making it impossible to see their true faces.

"Captain, I need to purchase some enhancement potions and materials. Do you need them...?"

Anthony also looked at Rorschach and asked in a very respectful tone.

"Go ahead and do your thing, don't worry about me. Just go home after you're done shopping."

Luo Xia waved his hand as well, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with Anthony's respectful attitude.

"Yes, Captain!"

Anthony felt as if he had been granted a pardon upon hearing this, and quickly slipped into the crowd. Now, facing Rorschach, he felt immense pressure, making it hard to breathe.

Clearly, Rorschach has become Anthony's mental demon.

After Anthony walked away, Luo Xia also turned into a deserted corner, and then a thought struck him.

Suddenly, a terrifying giant sword, 1.7 meters long and as wide as a door, appeared out of thin air in Rorschach's hand.

This is the Storm Greatsword that the Emperor bestowed upon it.

This Storm Greatsword is a deep dark blue color, with the sound of wind faintly flowing on its blade, and it weighs an astonishing 100 pounds!

Rorschach took out a black cloth, wrapped the Storm Sword around it, and then carried it on his back.

Forget about whether it's easy to use or convenient; looking good is a lifelong thing!

Thus, Rorschach, carrying a greatsword, strolled leisurely through the market like a wandering knight.

This scene caused pedestrians near Rorschach to quickly move away.

After all, someone who can carry such a giant sword is definitely not someone to be trifled with!

'As expected, power is the only passport here.'

According to Luo Xia's perception, the gazes that were originally directed at him with malice vanished the moment they saw the greatsword behind him.

It's no wonder this is the territory of the second-in-command; they treat everyone according to their strength.

But these people are far inferior to the demon Khorne.

If it were a Khorne demon, it would only rush forward the moment it saw Rorschach's strength, and even if it were killed, it would only say, "Awesome! Awesome!"

After wandering around for about half an hour, Luo Xia memorized the layout of the entire basement level before heading towards the second basement level.

The entrance to the second basement level is located at a corner at the end of the first floor, guarded by two burly men clad in black armor.

However, when the two saw Luo Xia's attire, they did not stop him at all, and let him smoothly enter the second basement level.

And this is the largest underground boxing arena in the entire city of Adelaide, known as the 'Night Owl Arena'!

Unlike the oppressive silence of the Owl Market on the underground level.

As soon as Luo Xia stepped into the second basement level, deafening cheers and roars swept over him like a tidal wave.

The strong smell of sweat, alcohol, and blood in the air stimulated everyone's nerves.

Standing at the entrance, you can see the huge circular iron cage arena in the center, and around the cage are tiered stands filled with gamblers wearing masks and shouting wildly.

At this moment, inside the circular iron cage arena, two burly men, shirtless, are engaged in the most primal form of human combat.

There are no techniques, no rules, only brutal, bloody violence that hits you right in the face.

"Tear him apart! Tear him apart!"

"Hahaha, that was a really intense fight!!!"

"Damn it!!! My money!!!"

Finally, with a crisp crack of bones breaking, one of the burly men had his neck snapped by his opponent.

And when the battle ended.

The crowd erupted in even more enthusiastic cheers.

Luo Xia watched all of this calmly, his heart completely unmoved.

For him, this kind of battle was even more boring than watching people play Mortal Kombat in a virtual internet cafe.

Real men play Warhammer 40: Slaanesh's Chosen!

It is made by...

After watching two more exhilarating and bloody matches, but lacking in skill, Luo Xia shook his head and headed straight for the management office on one side of the arena.

"I want to go on stage."

Luo Xia's voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the noisy environment.
