Chapter 10: Awakening, Breakthrough
The influence of the duel is still gradually expanding, and the duel is publicized everywhere in the royal city, which has also become the most talked about among the people of Norton's lower class.
Ivy had carried Pierce back to the hut outside the city.
Horace's efficiency was very high, and the guards asked for the Warcraft crystal nucleus from the Wilson family and sent it directly here.
The two guards gave Ivy the core and the gold coins as instructed, but the latter only took the core and gave up the gold coins given by Horace.
The two guards looked at each other, and finally had to take their leave.
Pierce lay quietly on the wooden bed, his chest undulating without a hint of heaving, the blood from the wound had dried up, like a real corpse.
Ivy placed the Monster Crystal Nucleus at the head of the bed, then chopped wood to boil water, and wiped the blood stains on Pierce's body with a cloth soaked in hot water.
Rubbing and wiping, Aiwei's tears couldn't help but drip down.
used to be like this time, serving the person in front of her, but until now, she really sees the other party as her fiancΓ© and wants to love him for the rest of her life, but ......
The damp cloth ran through the water over and over again, turning a basin of water into blood, and tears continued to wash down her cheeks, until Ivy wiped the blood from Pierce's body, and she leaned limply against the side of the bed.
Looking back, there was no day as sweet as today, and no day was as desperate as today.
After a short rest, Ivy closed the doors and windows and lay down with Pierce.
With a very steady heart, Ivy fell asleep.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, the sun rose as usual.
The topic of duels continued to heat up in the royal city, but the Wilson family, which had always been extremely public, surprisingly chose to remain silent.
Everyone's conversation revolves around the Edmund and Wilson families, and few people mention Pierce, as if such an insignificant person is no different from living and dead.
"Ding, the system update is complete. β
"Ding, turn on the vindictive function. β
"Ding, turn on the energy function. β
"Ding, open the combat skill classification. β
......
Pierce opened his eyes again, and saw the exact same image as he had seen when he first crossed over.
dilapidated roofs, and the smell of staleness.
And, of course, there's the body odor that lingers in your nose.
Pierce moved his neck with a slight difficulty, his body a little stiff as he had been in one position for more than twenty hours.
With a 'squeak', Pierce finally sat up from the bed.
Pierce took a deep breath and made sure he was alive.
Yesterday's duel, even in retrospect, still shocks Pierce.
Without any armor, without any hole cards, with a four-layer "Hundred Tempered Body", Pierce actually killed a strong enemy, and also upgraded the "Hundred Tempered Body".
Although it was very risky, and the slightest mistake could have killed you in the dueling ring, in Pierce's opinion, the final reward was worth it.
The only defensive skill he has mastered has now been upgraded to the fifth layer, and if he faces Edmund again, Pierce has absolute confidence that he will play to the death of the opponent and not lose both.
Pierce opened his personal panel, and after the system was updated, he didn't know what changes had been made to his data, and it seemed that there were some new features.
Name: Pierce
Grade: 7
XP: (9900/17000).
Attack: None
Defense Skill: Layer 5 (5000/10000).
Fighting Spirit: 0
Energy: 0
"Just give me a few more days, and I'll be officially promoted to Bronze Horseman. β
According to the experience level given by the system, as long as Pierce's level is upgraded to level ten, he can be promoted to the Bronze Knight, as for the Bronze Knight, each level represents a level, and after the ninth level, break through a big level and be promoted to the Silver Knight.
Perhaps no one thought that promotion seemed so simple, and Pierce, without any accumulation, broke through the quasi-knight directly by the knight squire in one day.
Combat skills are subdivided into attack skills and defense skills by the system, which is very much in line with the system's data-based style, at least the data looks clearer.
"Wait, what are the fighting energy and energy points?"
Pierce looked down, his gaze fixed on the bottom of the personal panel, and his face was full of confusion.
Fighting spirit is exclusive to knights, and only when promoted to the bronze knight can you refine your fighting spirit, as for that energy value, Pierce has no relevant information in his memory.
Behind these two pieces of data, there is a big "0", and perhaps only when you go up the level can you know the usefulness of these two things.
Pierce didn't dwell too much on this, now that he has his system in hand, I'm afraid he will be able to walk sideways on this continent in the near future, thinking about it, there is still a little excitement in his heart.
"I don't know what time it is, what is Ivy doing. β
Pierce didn't have to think about it to know that he was still brought back by Ivy, and now the person he wanted to see the most was Ivy.
Pierce was about to get out of bed, but just as he propped up the bed with his hands, there was a sudden stinging pain in his palm, as if he had been hit by something.
When I looked down, I saw a transparent hedron lying next to my pillow.
The hedron is half the size of a fist, and it has a cool touch in the hand.
"Ding, discover the second-level Warcraft crystal nucleus, after using it, experience +10000. β
"Second-level Warcraft Crystal Nucleus: The crystal nucleus bred by the second-level Warcraft has great energy. β
Well?!
Pierce was stunned at first, but he didn't expect that in addition to defeating the opponent, there were other means of upgrading.
Then, after looking at the 10,000 experience, Pierce almost rolled out of bed in excitement.
With just a second-level Warcraft crystal nucleus, you can gain 10,000 points of experience, and it seems that it is difficult for you to become stronger if you don't want to.
Holding the magic core in his hand, Pierce was in trouble for a while.
The system said to refine the magic core, but Pierce didn't know what to do, and finally had to swallow the entire magic core and swallow it directly into his stomach.
Suddenly, a hot energy spread from the abdomen.
Under the wash of this energy, the body changed again, and a new power seemed to condense out, and Pierce knew that this was the precursor to refining the fighting spirit.
"Congratulations on refining the second-level Warcraft crystal nucleus, experience +10,000. β
"Congratulations on the character level upgrade to level 8. β
Name: Pierce
Grade: 8
Experience Points: (19900/25900)
Attack: None
Defense Skill: Layer 5 (5000/10000).
Fighting Spirit: 0
Energy: 0
The level broke through again, and Pierce was one step closer to being promoted to Bronze Horseman.
The mood had never been better than it was today, and Pierce was sure that even if he had black bread for dinner, he would be able to eat three meals at a time.
At this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Ivy returned to the room tired, just in time to meet the man's gaze.
"Well... Long time no see. β
Pierce greeted him a little rustily, but found that his chest sank, and the girl threw herself into her arms, crying heartbreakingly.
