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

Luo Xia thought about it, then smiled with relief.

That makes sense. The Great Emperor was saying that we shouldn't succumb to the sugar-coated bullets of heresy.

It doesn't say that one can't succumb to the corruption of the great emperor's hook!

With that in mind, Rorschach devoured the entire can of food in just a few bites, not even leaving the grease at the bottom.

Rorschach swore this was the hottest food he had ever eaten in both his lives!

After eating the entire can of Ant-Cow food, Rorschach's strength and physique increased by 0.2 and 0.3 respectively!

This improvement is already comparable to the effort he put into completing tasks and the hardship of working illegally in the Emperor's Creative Workshop!

"Burp, that feels good!"

Luo Xia touched his stomach, feeling full of energy. The energy from this can of Ant Cow food was enough to keep him from eating for almost a week.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Seeing this, Rorschach quickly cleaned up the dining table and threw the empty cans directly into the system space.

Then he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate the life cycle.

"Knock knock".

"Enter."

The person who came was Gwen. Today she was dressed simply and carried a wooden tray with a few pieces of black bread and a glass of water on it.

"Rorschach, your breakfast."

"Thank you."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia opened his eyes, his gaze incredibly resolute, without the slightest hint of greed for worldly food.

He looked exactly like an ascetic.

"You don't actually need to push yourself like this."

Gwen watched Rorschach devour the black bread and felt immense admiration for him.

Last night I attended a lavish banquet and received so many top-notch resources, yet today I can immediately settle down and eat this kind of black bread that even the poor would disdain.

This kind of mentality is simply terrifying!

“Gwen, pleasure will only corrupt a knight’s will. True power is always born from suffering.”

[Having endured the suffering brought by the Great Emperor's Hook, Free Attribute Points +0.1!]

Rorschach drank the water, finished the black bread completely, and his eyes were crystal clear.

His thirteen days of asceticism began.

……

In the private training room, Rorschach arrived alone, while Gwen went to give a ceremonial lesson to the Sixth Squire.

"Deep Sea Magic Crystal, Life Dragon Blood".

Luo Xia's eyes narrowed as he retrieved the two items from the system space.

His original goal was to raise the Blood Tiger and Thunder Bear breathing techniques to level 100 before entering the abyss.

But now that he had received sponsorship from the nobles yesterday, Rorschach naturally changed his mind.

Earth Dragon Breathing Technique, Liver Opening!

Luo Xia arranged the three deep-sea magic crystals in a triangle around his body, and then activated his life magnetic field, instantly activating the three deep-sea magic crystals.

As the deep-sea magic crystal lit up with a ghostly blue light, Luo Xia clearly felt the previously turbulent energy around him weaken.

"It really is an essential item for cultivation."

After mentally labeling the rich little girl as considerate, Luo Xia picked up the crimson crystal bottle in front of him.

Life Dragon Blood.

The reward for first place in the GPA competition was originally intended for Rorschach to use when he reached level 90 in the Fire Serpent Breathing Technique, so that he could become a quasi-knight and mutate the Fire Serpent.

But who would have thought that the great emperor's gene serum would be so effective, instantly maxing out his abilities.

"However, it works the same way when used in the Earth Desolate Dragon Breathing Technique, and the effect might even be better."

After all, although the blood of the living dragon is of low purity, it is still dragon blood. Compared with earthworms like the Desolate Dragon, it is naturally worlds apart.

Thinking this, Luo Xia did not hesitate and directly uncorked the crystal bottle, pouring the crimson life dragon blood into his mouth.

boom!

In an instant, an incomparably violent surge of blood energy surged through Luo Xia's body, like a giant dragon roaring, unwilling to be refined by Luo Xia, a mere mortal.

"You've gone mad because of a single drop of blood, suppress them!"

Luo Xia immediately activated the Earth Desolate Dragon Breathing Technique and began refining the life dragon blood.

This perfect earth-attribute breathing technique, which focuses on defense and physique, was now being practiced by Luo Xia, and a faint earth-yellow halo was gradually appearing on his body.

The original fire-attribute life magnetic field is beginning to evolve into an earth-attribute life magnetic field.

As the breathing techniques circulated layer by layer, a phantom image of an earth dragon gradually began to appear within Luo Xia's heart...

"call."

"One bottle of life dragon blood was enough to break through to the tenth level. Indeed, the cultivation of a knight is completely different depending on whether he has resources or not."

Luo Xia slowly opened his eyes, and the faint yellowish-brown dragon scale patterns on his skin gradually began to fade.

Feeling the illusory earth dragon that had already condensed within his body, Luo Xia's lips curled into a smile.

It can only be said that it is a perfect breathing technique. Luo Xia could feel that as long as he successfully broke through the 30th level of the "Earth Desolate Dragon Breathing Technique", he could directly condense the extraordinary spirit of the Earth Desolate Dragon!

"However, although this seems to be lower than the level of condensing extraordinary spirit by the refined breathing technique, the difference between the two is at least three times."

Luo Xia had just begun practicing the "Earth Desolate Dragon Breathing Technique" and was now fully experiencing the power of a perfect-level breathing technique.

Rorschach was even certain that a quasi-knight who had mastered a refined breathing technique would not stand a chance against a super-knight squire who had mastered a perfect breathing technique.

First, there is the overwhelming power of the transcendent spirits. Perfect-level transcendent spirits have extremely high cohesion, and their form, whether in appearance or state, is incredibly close to real high-level transcendent species in reality.

Compared to a weak supernatural species like a superior-level supernatural spirit, it is naturally worlds apart.

"No wonder these big shots were so shocked when I defeated Elsa in the GPA tournament, and offered me such a high contract..."

After all, Rorschach's life level was only ten levels higher than his opponent's. Compared to Elsa, who controlled a perfect transcendent spirit, such an opponent was nothing but a chicken and a dog.

But even under such circumstances, Rorschach defeated Elsa, the young lady, in a single move. How could this not be shocking?

If it weren't for the fact that Rorschach's background could be traced back to, everyone would have thought that he was a humanoid monster that had escaped from that abyss rift.

"But that's the power of numbers. Forget about your damn mechanics, just make sure you can withstand one of my sword strikes first."

Thinking this, Luo Xia smiled slightly, took out another bottle of life potion from the system space, and began to cultivate.

……

Two o'clock in the afternoon, in the private training room.

Taylor was still on time for class, and as soon as he entered, he threw a long, heavy package at Rorschach.

"then."

The package was extremely heavy and hurtled towards Rorschach with a whooshing sound.

Rorschach caught it steadily with one hand, and a thought flashed through his mind: it was a weapon.

"Kid, open it up and take a look."

Taylor crossed his arms and nodded in satisfaction when he saw that Rorschach could lift it with one hand.

Upon seeing this, Rorschach ripped open the heavy canvas wrapped around the package.

Suddenly, a dark red halberd appeared before them.

This halberd is 2.5 meters long, and its surface is covered with irregular black patterns. The blade is wide and thick, with sharp crescent blades on both sides and a sharp armor-piercing cone in the middle.

The moment Rorschach picked it up, he felt his own life force being drawn to it.

This is the life source device!

"This halberd is named 'Battle Abyss'."

Taylor looked at the halberd, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes.

"This was forged from the spine of a high-level demon I killed in the abyss rift years ago, using abyssal fire iron."

"Weighs 88 jin (44 catties)".

"I originally intended to give it to my son who had just become a knight, but unfortunately..."

Taylor didn't finish his sentence, but Rorschach's heart sank; he understood.

The enemy's knight son may have already died in the abyss.

"Now, it's yours. Consider it a congratulatory gift from your teacher to you on becoming a war deacon."

"I hope you can use it to kill more abyssal monsters, so that it can finally find a home."

"Battle Abyss..."

Luo Xia muttered to himself, gripping the halberd shaft with both hands. Then, his eyes narrowed, and the life force within his body was mobilized by the halberd before he swung it out.

"Woo~"

The battle halberd tore through the air, letting out a deep roar, and a black flame slash shot out, striking the iron man in the training room hard.

"boom!"

A violent explosion rang out, and when the smoke cleared, the iron man who was strong enough to withstand the attack of a quasi-knight had disappeared from the spot, replaced by dripping molten iron.

Upon seeing this, Luo Xia's eyes lit up. This feel, this attack power, it was simply tailor-made for him!

It's not that Rorschach is disloyal at this moment.

To put it bluntly, although the Storm Greatsword is exquisitely crafted, compared to this life-source artifact 'Battle Abyss', it's like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
