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

[Name: Emperor Saint Fist Rorschach]

[Attributes: Strength 16.5, Constitution 17.0, Agility 14.6, Spirit 16.7]

"I was able to hold on until now only because of my mental attributes breaking through two major barriers; otherwise, I might have been kicked out of the War God Domain long ago."

Luo Xia looked at his current attributes, his eyes shining brightly. This trip to the God Realm of War was definitely worthwhile!

"Kid, how did you do that?"

Taylor's figure slowly descended from the sky, and he made no attempt to hide the surprise on his face.

After all, this kid is really amazing.

How can there be a quasi-knight who died thirty-nine times in the War God Realm and is still alive and kicking?

Even with his great knightly spirit, Taylor could only withstand a maximum of thirty deaths.

And yet Rorschach surpassed him so easily—is he even human?!

Even if you, Rorschach, are of wizarding blood, or even if some kind of sorcerer's ability has been added to your bloodline, you shouldn't act like this, right?

What wizard could have such strong mental power during their apprenticeship!

Even as a quasi-knight, one can possess the mental strength of a Grand Knight...

Those aren't just geniuses, they're gods sent from heaven, children of the gods!

Could it be that Rorschach is the illegitimate son of some god?

"I don't know. At the beginning, I just got more and more energetic and excited. It felt like I had inexhaustible energy."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia shook his head, still pretending to be clueless, letting Taylor guess for himself.

After all, Rorschach believed that Company Commander Taylor, who knew a little about everything, would surely give himself a reasonable explanation.

"They get more and more energetic as they play, they're really excited?"

Taylor's eyes narrowed when he heard Luo Xia's words, as if he had thought of something. He looked at Luo Xia in silence for a moment.

He then sighed before speaking:

"I will report this matter. Now that you have sensed the limits of your soul, let's end today's training."

"Ok."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia nodded. He also felt dizzy and extremely heavy-headed. If it weren't for his strong physique, he would have already collapsed.

This time, in order to kill more Khorne and enjoy the battle, Rorschach truly burned himself out.

"Then let's go back."

As he spoke, Taylor waved his hand.

Luo Xia instantly felt himself sinking, a feeling exactly the same as when the old man from the Danix family kicked him out of the spirit world that day.

Then, a blinding white light flashed before his eyes. Luo Xia sensed the unity of his body and soul, and then suddenly opened his eyes and looked around.

Rorschach found himself sitting cross-legged in a pristine white room, with Taylor sitting beside him, and dozens of other knight cadets and instructors around him.

"This is the true eighty-eighth floor of the War Spire, and the place you just entered is a corner of the War God Realm that exists in the Spirit Realm."

Taylor explained briefly, then stood up and led Rorschach toward a steam elevator.

"How was the experience?"

As the steam elevator descended, Taylor pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked Rorschach a question.

"Not bad, I feel like I'm already able to get close to the second move of the Mad Abyss Halberd."

Luo Xia, leaning on his battle halberd and feeling the seamless connection between himself and the halberd, responded in kind.

“That’s normal. After all, your cultivation speed in one day has already caught up with my cultivation speed when I entered the War God Domain.”

Taylor nodded, feeling utterly helpless.

After all, what aspiring knight could die thirty-nine times in a single day in the War God Realm?

To withstand the weight of death eight times is to be a genius among geniuses.

Therefore, most of the prospective knights who enter the War God Realm carefully hunt lone abyssal monsters on the edge, avoiding hordes of monsters.

Who would dare to be as arrogant and conceited as Luo Xia? He doesn't even try to avoid a fight, just grabs his halberd and charges straight in.

This is truly unbeatable.

If Taylor didn't know Rorschach quite well, he would have thought the other party wanted to develop a relationship like those knightly madmen in the church!

"Ding."

As the brass doors of the steam elevator were pulled open, the eighth floor of the War Spire was reached.

"Go back and get a good night's sleep."

Taylor watched Rorschach step out of the steam elevator and also reminded him:

"Tomorrow is a day off, so you don't need to go to the training room. Even if you go, I won't come."

"However, if you feel any mental abnormalities during your break, such as auditory hallucinations, irritability, or seeing things you shouldn't see, contact me immediately."

After all, the malevolent energy within the War God Realm is no joke. A quasi-knight died thirty-nine times in one day. Taylor was genuinely afraid that this genius would go mad overnight.

"Don't worry, Mr. Taylor, youth is a gift!"

Luo Xia nodded, a bright smile appearing on his lips.

Seeing this, Taylor said no more, closed the brass door, took the steam elevator down to the ground floor, and prepared to report to the dean on the freak's performance that day.

"Something unusual? Auditory hallucinations? Seeing something you shouldn't have?"

"That's all my talent, okay!"

Luo Xia pushed open the door to his large apartment and immediately locked it with a click.

He collapsed onto the eight-meter-wide luxurious bed, rubbed his hands together excitedly, and then summoned the system panel.

He had died thirty-nine times in the War God Realm, killing countless Abyss Black Orcs and other magical beasts. This time, he would wipe out Khorne and the Emperor!

[Ding ding ding! Task settlement in progress...]

[Khorne Mission: War! War! War! Kill! Kill! Kill! Settlement complete!]

[You displayed a chilling madness and unparalleled bloodlust in the realm of Khorne! Even thirty-nine deaths could not stop your killing spree! You successfully pleased the great blood god Khorne with the purest violence!]

"Hahaha! Good lad! This is a true Khorne berserker! This is the kind of scene I love to see! Even with his soul torn apart, he still plunges his halberd into the enemy's throat! Truly worthy of being the chosen one I, Khorne, have chosen!" The great Khorne roared deafeningly in the warp, extremely satisfied with your performance!

[Gained 618 points of Khorneous Pleasure]

[Khorne Pleasure has been automatically converted into bonus: +1.6 Free Attribute Points, Khorne Skull "Red"!]

"I've got it! 1.6 free attribute points!"

Rorschach shouted "Khorne 88!" He's practically the number one player on the leaderboard!

"But what is a Khorne skull? Did Khorne get aroused and happily take his head off so I could kick it around like a ball?"

Chapter 87 Khorne's Skull and the Emperor's Blessing (Please read on, please vote, thank you!!!)

"Khorne's skull".

Luo Xia looked at the crimson skull that had suddenly appeared in the system space, its pupils still burning with blood flames, and with a thought, he took it out.

The moment he got his hands on it, Luo Xia instantly felt a surge of frenzied killing intent rushing to his head.

Fortunately, Luo Xia had already vented his bloodlust in the War God Realm, and his mental strength was as high as 16.7, otherwise he might have been affected by it.

"You bunch of evil gods, can't you at least give me a decent reward?! I'm so powerful!"

Luo Xia was both angry and helpless, and his desire to buy the items from the Chaos Four Peddler Shop decreased once again.

After all, these are all half-finished products, and they all have side effects!

[Cruel Skull]

[Quality: Red (Blessed by Khorne)]

[Description: A sacred relic personally crafted and blessed by the great Blood God Khorne using the skull of a demon from the abyss! This is an item that only the most powerful demon, the one most favored by the great Khorne, can obtain.]

[Effect: Each time you personally slay eight enemies stronger than yourself and shout "Blood sacrifice to the Blood God! Skull offering to the Skull Throne!" to complete the ritual of pleasing the Blood God, you will activate one chance to participate in the "Khorne's Wheel of Fortune".]

[Khorne's Roulette: The roulette contains exclusive weapons, combat skills, items, and special blessings from the realm of Khorne.]

"The brave are enraged and draw their swords against the stronger; the cowardly are enraged and draw their swords against the weaker. Now, prove to me that you are a true hero of Khorne!"

"You have to kill eight enemies who are stronger than yourself before you can draw a prize?"

Rorschach's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the description of the 'Khorne Skull's' abilities.

Are you sure you're in subspace, and not in the two-dimensional world?

How did you learn this terrible habit of gacha pulls in anime-style mobile games?!

"The case is solved. It was all orchestrated by Tzeentch."

Rorschach nodded, then put the crimson skull back into the system space.

After all, drawing a prize once requires sacrificing eight official knights, or other official superhumans of different professions, which is incredibly difficult.

"However, if you're going to participate in the knight baptism and enter the abyss, you could try hunting it down."

After all, the abyss has nothing but monsters.

Luo Xia pondered for a moment, and then without hesitation, added 1.6 attribute points to his weakest attribute, Agility.

[Agility 14.616.2!]

Thus, Rorschach's four attributes have all officially broken through the 16 mark!

"Now my strength is truly on par with that of a regular knight."

Luo Xia clenched his fist, feeling the seemingly endless power within his body, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Then he looked at the still-flashing golden task on the system panel.

Having seen Khorne's reward, Rorschach felt a glimmer of anticipation for the Great Emperor's reward as well.

After all, Khorne had given such a good reward, and Rorschach was the most loyal and great man of the Emperor's Hook.
