In this way, his physique has reached 510 points, which is 60 points higher than the threshold of 450 points for the upper fourth tier.
He had a premonition that even if he stood still and let the lower-level fourth-tier attack break through his defense, it would be difficult for him to break through. After all, he was now 210 points higher than the lower-level fourth-tier with 300 points.
He looked at the last item, the silver apple encased in crystal, hoping it would bring him some surprises.
He grabbed the large piece of crystal, exerted force in his hand, and immediately cracks appeared on the crystal, causing it to shatter violently.
The moment the silver apple was exposed to the air, Luo Xiu's eyes narrowed, because he felt the power of the silver apple was dissipating at a considerable rate.
Without hesitation, Luo Xiu immediately swallowed the piece of silver apple.
boom! !
It was as if something exploded inside Luo Xiu's body, turning into countless specks of light, and Luo Xiu's eyes widened.
This is……?
……
Knights.
Leila sat cross-legged on the sofa, watching Milair pacing back and forth in front of her, a helpless smile on her face:
"Mirel, you're making me dizzy."
"I know, Lady Leila, but I just can't stop."
Miler turned to look at Leila, her face filled with an unprecedented anxiety:
"As you know, Rose suddenly disappeared this afternoon."
"She was the sixth-ranked vice-captain, a fourth-tier hunter, and just disappeared like that. The reason is obvious: those traitors couldn't resist taking action."
"Perhaps Rose discovered the secret of the mushroom disease by following me that day, which is why she thanked me after the meeting."
"I just didn't expect those traitors to actually... actually dare to attack the vice-commander of the Knights."
Upon hearing this, Leila tilted her head to the side:
"It's really strange, and the captain is also missing now. The Knights have always been vengeful. I heard from Cecilia and the others that a high-ranking fourth-level Knight from Rover once tried to poison a vice-captain. When the captain found out, he tore that person to pieces."
Cecilia is the name of the long-haired brown-haired female knight who entered the city that day; she is now Leila's subordinate.
"Yes, that's what I'm worried about."
Milair sighed:
"The captain hasn't made a sound at all, which is very unusual. It's a sign that the situation is starting to deteriorate, which is why I'm worried, Lady Leila. I have a feeling that big trouble is coming. Aren't you worried, Lady Leila?"
"No rush."
Leila smiled sweetly:
“I trust my master. He told us to wait, so we just have to wait. My master is never wrong, Milair. You know that very well, don’t you?”
Upon hearing this, Milair opened her mouth, then sighed deeply, sat down, and stopped pacing back and forth.
"Yes, that's right, Master is never wrong. Master said that as long as you begin your advancement, we can start our operation, but when will we begin..."
Leila smiled slightly, just about to say a few words of comfort to Miler, when suddenly a great power surged within both of them.
That familiar feeling made Leila and Miler exchange a glance, and they exclaimed in surprise:
"coming."
Chapter 138 Night, the Curtain Rises (Rhythm to Begin)
Leila felt a surge of power within her body, like a spring suddenly appearing in a green field, gushing out clear water to irrigate the soil.
She could feel the power flowing to her limbs, constantly transforming the blood within her body. It was a complex change; her blood was returning to its roots, no longer stopping at the Silver Moon Bear level, but moving towards a more ancient level.
For Tassanya, the fourth rank is not even enough to fully transform into a dragon, but for Leila, the fourth rank is enough to advance the bloodline of the Silver Moon Bear a step further.
Her little face showed surprise, because she didn't know what kind of realm it was. There had never been any bear-like monsters other than Silver Moon Bears around the Kingdom of Dorant.
The Silver Moon Bear is already the strongest type of monster around the kingdom.
She still remembers what her mother looked like. At that time, she had just been diagnosed with weak blood and was worthless. She was abandoned and thrown into the weeds in the forest. She looked up at her mother while crying loudly.
Its enormous size resembles a small mountain covered in white snow, much taller than the trees around it. As you walk through the forest, the trees on both sides snap and fall to the ground, and every step causes the earth to shake.
And she may be surpassing that level now.
She tried her best to control herself, preventing the power within her from fully erupting, and instead silently digested it.
Because once they fully transform, the Knights' headquarters might be destroyed, which would definitely alarm at least the vice-commander level or higher.
The plan hasn't even started yet, so we absolutely mustn't make any rash moves that might alert the enemy.
But control wasn't easy. A few beads of cold sweat appeared on Leila's forehead, her eyes were tightly closed, and her small hands were clenched into fists so tightly that her fingertips were turning white. She felt that she was about to lose control, and a scream was already on the tip of her tongue.
Miler, who was standing nearby, noticed Leila's change and quickly ran out to find Tassanya.
At that moment, Tassanya was with Nika.
Before the plan began, the three of them took turns staying with Nika like this. This was a guarantee that the plan would succeed and also a way to protect Nika.
Nika knows too much; if she were caught by someone with malicious intent, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The moment she saw Milair hurriedly push open the door, Tassanya excitedly stood up:
"Has it started yet?"
Miler nodded, and before she could say anything more, Tassanya rushed out the door.
She went out onto the main street, ran to a quiet, deserted alley, clenched her right fist, and blazing flames immediately swept across the alley, illuminating the dark sky. A terrifying dragon's roar resounded through the heavens, even dispelling the thin, gray clouds overhead.
A thunderous dragon's roar pierced through the Knights' building and reached Leila's ears. Her anxious expression suddenly relaxed, and she could no longer hold back, letting out a roar.
Although she was in a relaxed state, she still maintained a lot of control, causing her roar to be drowned out by the dragon's cry.
The guards and soldiers on duty naturally heard Tassanya's dragon roar, but when they arrived with doubts, Tassanya had already left, leaving only the blackened ground and charred walls.
Tassanya returned to the Knights' headquarters via a side path. The soldiers inside cast strange glances at her. They knew that Milair had a dragon-blooded subordinate, and naturally some suspected that the dragon's roar came from Tassanya. However, without catching her red-handed, they couldn't say much.
After all, Tassanya didn't do anything; at most, it was just disturbing the peace.
Tassanya arrived at Milair's office, where everyone was present.
In just over ten minutes, Leila had already completed her advancement and was now sitting at the table, heartily eating the meal that Miler had prepared in advance.
Advancing to a higher level is very energy-consuming and requires eating.
"Thank you, Tassanya."
Leila swallowed the bulging food in her mouth and thanked them sincerely.
"No need for that, Lady Leila, so may we begin our plan?"
Tassanya looked eager to try. She had never been a troublemaker; she had just become much more restrained by following Luo Xiu.
"Yes, let's begin."
Leila nodded:
"This is the first time we've completed a mission without an owner, so we must do it perfectly."
"clear."
Tassanya and Milair spoke in unison.
……
Luo Xiu sensed the three points of light within his body. If he wasn't mistaken, they should be... divinity.
Therefore, the silver apple contains divinity, he pondered. No wonder those fourth-order beings were so eager to enter the Golden Apple Garden.
A single silver apple contains 3 points of divinity, so a whole silver apple can definitely allow a lower-level fourth rank to directly advance to the upper-level fourth rank, since only 5 points of divinity are needed to advance to the upper-level fourth rank.
However, these three points of divinity are somewhat different from those that Luo Xiu had seen before. The divinity that Luo Xiu had sensed before, whether it was Old White's, Miler's, or the Holy Knight Academy Dean Mochi's, each of them had their own unique aura.
These three points of divinity seem to be ownerless, possessing only the purest divine radiance.
Before Luo Xiu could continue exploring the mysteries of these three points of divinity, he felt a mysterious aura spread out from within his body, crushing over the three points of divinity. In an instant, the three points of divinity turned into dust and merged into his flesh and blood.
Luo Xiu looked at the attribute panel and saw that each attribute had increased by 15 points.
It seems that when divinity is converted into attribute points, there is a discount; otherwise, based on the principle that 5 points of divinity are needed to advance to the fourth rank, 1 point of divinity should correspond to 30 attribute points.
But... the results have been amazing enough.
For Luo Xiu, this improvement in strength was very satisfying.
At this point, his attribute panel had changed to:
Name: Luo Xiu
【Strength: 425/1500】
[Agility: 375/1500]
【Physique: 525/1500】
[Magic power: 345/1500]
[Mental Resistance: 335/1500]
[Points available: 53]
Seeing that his Strength stat had reached 425 points, with only 25 points left to reach the 450-point threshold, Luo Xiu had a thought and allocated 25 of his 53 spare points to Strength.
Feeling the surge of power that had suddenly appeared within him, Luo Xiu nodded in satisfaction and stood up from his chair.
Bang.
The back of his head hit the ceiling of the cubicle shop, making a sound.
Luo Xiu touched the back of his head; it didn't hurt. But he hadn't expected that his height had increased so much without him realizing it. The cubicle shop's ceiling height was probably between 2.6 and 2.7 meters. Originally, he could almost reach the ceiling when he entered the cubicle shop, and he needed to bend over slightly to enter. Now, with his physique increasing again, he had broken through that limit.
He walked out of the door with a hunched back and onto the street, where he finally stretched out his body. At this moment, he had no excess fat on his body, and every muscle was the perfect size, perfectly formed. The cloak that was originally loose now fit him just right, with the cuffs slightly tight.
Luo Xiu glanced at the darkening night, opened the panel, and saw that Leila's status bar showed that she had reached level four, knowing that Leila and the others must have already started their operation.
After some thought, he decided to put the alchemy aside for now and strode towards the Knights.
If all goes well, this night will be another sleepless one.
