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

Staring out the window, Luo Xia pondered for a long time before deciding on his next important direction.

He must become a full-fledged knight as soon as possible and then begin to build his own battleband.

Am I overthinking things?

Suddenly Luo Xia laughed. He felt like he had some kind of illness, that he was about to build his own power and feel a sense of crisis just from being threatened so much.

But he is an A-level genius of the Church of War. If something happens to him, do you think they will abandon him?

Thinking this, Rorschach fell silent.

He knew the reason: it was trust. He had no trust in the Church of War.

At this moment, Rorschach even lacked trust in and a sense of belonging to this world.

He only trusted the rewards given by the emperor and the strength he could truly feel himself.

"Then what are you waiting for? Add some points to Strength!"

Rorschach directly demonstrated his hard work and sweat in the Night Owl Arena.

[Strength 16.5-16.8!]

As a surge of heat flowed into his body, Luo Xia's muscles began to tear and swell once more, becoming even more resilient. A layer of dark golden luster slowly emerged on his skin and then gradually disappeared.

Rorschach mustered all his muscles and clenched his fists tightly, feeling the crisp sound of air being squeezed between his knuckles.

"Today, Arocher's strength is probably between twelve and thirteen. If my estimate is correct, then the maximum strength of a low-level knight without the enhancement of a life magnetic field is probably around fifteen..."

Luo Xia pondered in his heart, confirming that at this moment he was relying solely on his numerical strength.

"So that means my current four-dimensional values ​​have far exceeded the limits of a beginner knight!"

Chapter 96 The Imperial Crown and Khorne's Chosen (Please read on, please vote, thank you!!!)

"Without the enhancement of my life magnetic field, my current strength would actually qualify me as a mid-level knight."

"And if I grind the 'Earth Dragon Breathing Technique' to the hundredth level of a quasi-knight, then with the support of the two life magnetic fields, even an ordinary mid-level knight would not be my match."

As Luo Xia thought this, he let out a satisfied sigh.

As a pure stat-focused player, Rorschach has a clear understanding of himself: he will use numerical superiority to suppress opponents whenever possible, and if numerical superiority doesn't work, he will resort to mechanics.

After all, even a mid-level knight couldn't possibly have such high mental strength as I do now!

If his mental strength is no match for Rorschach, then let him taste the flavor of a golden opportunity.

Thinking this, Luo Xia smiled. His greatest strength in crushing the knights was indeed his mental power.

It seems we really need to put the search for the Danix family's legacy on the agenda.

"However, let's first see what rewards my great emperor has given us."

Luo Xia rubbed his hands together excitedly, then opened the system space, and a laurel wreath emitting a faint golden light appeared in his hands.

The crown was woven from some kind of unidentified golden vine, and apart from gold, it was not inlaid with any other luxurious gemstones.

Even so, this golden crown exudes a powerful and imposing aura that compels one to bow down in reverence.

Imperial Crown

[Quality: Gold]

[Introduction: This is a crown of glory personally woven for you by the great Emperor atop his golden throne! It embodies the expectations of the Lord of Humanity for his most loyal heir. Wear it, and you will become the embodiment of the Emperor's will!]

[Effect 1: Absolute Domination: Greatly increases the wearer's charisma and prestige; the loyalty of all followers who swear allegiance to you is permanently locked!]

[Effect 2: Psionic Will: When equipped, your mental strength is temporarily increased by 30%, you are immune to all warp god whispers and mental subversion, and you have a suppressive effect on all beings with lower mental strength than you, weakening their power.]

[Effect 3: Imperial Might: When actively activated, releases golden psionic pressure, dealing true mental damage to all Chaos Heretics within sight and temporarily stripping them of their supernatural abilities. Cooldown: Thirty Holy Days.]

"Sigh~"

Upon seeing the three dazzling abilities displayed on the Emperor's Crown, Luo Xia gasped in astonishment.

He couldn't imagine how powerful he would become if he wore this imperial crown.

First, there is the absolute dominion effect, which means that Rorschach can build his own power without any scruples. Anyone who swears allegiance to him will not be betrayed!

After all, in the extraordinary world, the most unpredictable thing is the human heart and human nature, and as long as Rorschach wears the Emperor's crown, he can directly eliminate any possibility of betrayal from the level of rules.

There's also the psychic will. Combined with Rorschach's already high mental attribute of 16.7, even high-ranking knights would have their strength severely suppressed in his presence!

As for the Emperor's Divine Might, this is an incomparably divine skill, directly stripping the opponent of their extraordinary abilities, even if only for a few seconds.

But in close combat at Rorschach's level, that's enough to chop the enemy into mincemeat!

"By the great Emperor Hook, your most beloved offspring expresses absolute loyalty to you!"

Luo Xia skillfully recited his loyalty in his mind every day, and then unhesitatingly placed the imperial crown on his head.

With a flash of golden light, the imperial crown disappeared into his scalp, turning into a faint golden mark hidden among his hair.

In just a moment, Luo Xia could feel an incredibly cool current flowing into his mind, making his thoughts clearer than ever before.

"Cool!"

Luo Xia shouted loudly. At this moment, after being crowned with the Emperor's Crown, all his worries about the future and his concerns about the threat posed by the Crimson Merchant Guild vanished.

What followed was unprecedented confidence!

"All the heroes of the world are now within my grasp!"

Rorschach put his hands behind his back, smiled nonchalantly, and then took out another piece of parchment with blood flames burning along its edges from his spatial storage.

The moment he got his hands on the parchment, a frenzied roar of trembling and killing filled Luo Xia's mind, and the overwhelming desire for slaughter seemed to be completely corrupting him into a chaotic god of death.

But with a slight sway of the imperial crown, all the corruption and whispers vanished, replaced by an incomparably refreshed feeling!

"Hehehe, second brother, your stuff is pretty mediocre."

Luo Xia smiled and shook his head, feeling overjoyed.

With the blessing of the Emperor's Crown, all the side effects of the Chaos Four Vendors' items were suppressed and neutralized!

Thus, Rorschach officially became someone absolutely immune to the corruption of chaos!

"Khorne's professional invitation letter, he actually wants me to play professionally, Khorne is really up to no good."

Playing professionally is out of the question. After all, if I were to get hit by a spinning top on the field, wouldn't that be a huge embarrassment for the great Emperor?

[A sadomasochistic career invitation]

[Quality: Red]

[Introduction: This is an offer letter personally signed by the great Blood God Khorne! It's a genuine direct recruitment by the BOSS! Only the purest, most insane, and truly courageous individuals are qualified to receive this invitation.]

[Effect: Tear this invitation to shreds and complete Khorne's BOSS direct recruitment trial to unlock the hidden advanced class [Khorne's Chosen Berserker]!]

[Trial Mission: Within any abyssal rift, a single individual, without using any external force and relying solely on their own strength and skill, must complete a blood sacrifice ritual capable of 'slaying ten thousand' (the target's strength must not be lower than the individual's current cultivation level).]

[Job Reward: Gain Khorne's exclusive Life Magnetic Field 'Blood God's Fury' and exclusive passive skill 'Bloodstained Battle'!]

"Boy, let's have a real trial. I will personally watch your performance from the Skull Throne."

Wow, BOSS Zhipin is really on it!

"Could I really have the potential to become Khorne's chosen one?"

Looking at the introduction on the system panel, Luo Xia swallowed hard. If it weren't for the refreshing feeling brought by the Emperor's Crown, he would have liked to tear up the invitation letter and start the trial of becoming the [Chosen Berserker of Khorne].

But Rorschach usually just talks about it; if he were to actually become the chosen one of the four Chaos Gods, he would have to think about it.

After all, if you're an evil god for a day, you'll be an evil god for life!

If it's called an evil god, how could it possibly contain anything good?

"A slaying of ten thousand men, this second brother of the Fears really thinks highly of me."

Luo Xia looked at the trial mission he was assigned to and felt quite helpless.

That's incredibly demanding.

Without using any external force, kill ten thousand beings whose strength is no less than your own in the abyss rift.

It's incredibly difficult!

The monsters and heretics in those abyssal rifts are not the obedient knights of the Night Owl Arena who are afraid of death; they are truly fearless and unpredictable monsters!

"But no matter how difficult it is, we have to overcome it."

"The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish. The ancients were right!"

With a sigh, Luo Xia put away the invitation, stood up, and slowly walked towards the cultivation room in the large penthouse.

Enough talk, let's get started!

Chapter 97 Lost Civilization Ruins (Please read on, please vote with monthly tickets, thank you meow!!!)

"Wearing a laurel wreath, his dragon-like spirit is revealed; seated on a golden throne, he seems like a god descending..."

The morning sun slowly rose from the east, and the soft light of dawn fell on Luo Xia, bathing him in a dazzling golden light.

"Phew, I only managed to cultivate eight life cycles in one night. This perfect-level breathing technique is really powerful."

Luo Xia exhaled a breath of stale air, slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, and a faint golden light flashed by.

In one night, with the help of deep-sea magic crystals and life potions, Luo Xia finally mastered the "Earth Desolate Dragon" breathing technique to the twenty-second level.

If Luo Xia can cycle through eight more times, he will be able to successfully condense the extraordinary spirit of the Earthly Desolate Dragon.

"However, it still has to be the perfect breathing technique. After grinding to level 20, it actually increased my physique by another 0.2."

Looking at his physique, which had now reached 17.2, Luo Xia smiled.

After all, given that Luo Xia's four-dimensional stats are improving rapidly, he wouldn't receive any significant improvement when practicing the superior-level breathing technique.

Because Rorschach's stats have far exceeded the limit for a quasi-knight who has mastered an excellent breathing technique.

Therefore, if Luo Xia were to cultivate the advanced breathing technique at this moment, it would only be to enhance his extraordinary power and achieve a qualitative change through quantity, so that his extraordinary body, condensed from his extraordinary spirit, would be even stronger after he becomes a formal knight.

This perfect breathing technique could subtly improve one's stats during practice, something Luo Xia hadn't expected.

However, if we calculate it this way, the knight who has mastered the perfect breathing technique will still have higher four-dimensional attributes than Rorschach.
