The black flames were clearly visible even in the dark, Herman was in a pile of B-grade energy stones, with the operation of the Dou Qi Containment Method, even the B-grade energy stones were quickly absorbed, and the young man did not hesitate to throw away the useless waste stones and grab another piece to continue......

After entering the Dou Qi Vortex, the Dou Qi did not stay, and was soon thrown out by the crazy spinning Dou Qi Vortex, and was devoured by the wriggling flesh and blood......

Knights who practice the skin-level accommodation method are the easiest to promote, because as long as they accumulate enough energy to expand the Douqi Vortex and strengthen the skin of the whole body, they can be promoted; Knights who cultivate the bone-level Dou Qi Containment Method need to accumulate the energy that has been strengthened by multiple parts such as the Dou Qi Vortex, skin, flesh, and bones, and the difficulty increases exponentially; As for the visceral-level Dou Qi Containment Method, the difficulty of promotion was ten times that of the previous level; The cellular level is ten times that of the visceral level.

Every time a knight is promoted to a rank, the difficulty of the next promotion will increase tenfold, plus different methods of accommodating Douqi, the more knights who practice the high-level accommodating method, the difficulty of each promotion increases exponentially.

When Herman cultivated the skin-level Douqi Containment Method, it took three years to promote from Vortex Knight to Source Knight; However, after replacing the high-level Dou Qi Containment Method, it only took more than seven months to go from a junior source knight to a senior source knight, which seemed to be contrary to common sense, but it was inseparable from his continuous life-and-death battles and adventures.

At the beginning of the Dark Crystal City, in order to deal with the City Lord of Earth Spirit City, the goddess manipulated his body to directly devour a dragon energy crystal nucleus equivalent to the peak of the fourth order, which was the fundamental reason why he was able to be promoted quickly.

The dragon clan was originally the most powerful top demonic beast race, and the energy contained in its energy crystal core was almost comparable to the sum of the energy sea of two human sky knights, if it weren't for the goddess using divine power to suppress these violent energies, Herman would have been burned to ashes the moment he swallowed it.

Although the battle that followed consumed 99.99% of Long Jing's energy, the remaining 0.001 percent was enough to strengthen Herman's whole body and increase his fighting spirit.

Otherwise, he would have to stay up for many years.

A knight's strength can only be improved through countless life-and-death battles, while the level of fighting spirit requires massive resources to grow.

After the night, the Dou Qi Vortex had calmed down, and its area had increased nearly tenfold, which meant that Herman would be able to use more fighting techniques and use higher-level fighting techniques, and perhaps he would be able to use the full Doomsday Forge Fist now.

In the center of the vortex, a black flame the size of a grain of rice pulsed, the result of Herman's consumption of eighteen third-order crystal nuclei.

It was the prototype of his Origin Spiritual Thing, and although it was not a real immortal fire, it could not be used now, but it still gave him hope.

"If it weren't for ......Otis," Herman muttered, not continuing, after all, people have to be content.

Today, Herman went to the City Lord's Mansion to ask Hawkins about his physical skills, but Hawkins was meeting guests at that time, so he had to wait outside.

Usually things that can be talked about in the meeting room are not a secret, the knight is very hearing, Herman listened outside for a while, only to know that this person is the white glove selected by Hawkins, on behalf of the city lord's mansion to collect protection money from the gray industry in the northern district, of course, but also responsible for collecting all kinds of intelligence, the location is very critical.

Herman smiled slightly: "The boss is still quite good at making oil and water, one on the side of the trading house, another share on the side of the brothel and the gangster, I don't know if there is a share of us this time." ”

It turned out that since the First Light Cathedral expressed its attitude to meddle in the trading houses of the three major families in the country, in order to protect themselves, the three major families could only unite to ask for Hawkins, and were willing to pool a sum of money to the Northern District City Defense Army, hoping that they could protect the safety of the trading houses, otherwise the Wanderers hired by the church alone would be enough for the trading houses to drink, let alone the pressure from the Guardian Mission.

In order to show their sincerity, the three major families promised to give the city defense army 5,000 D-grade energy stones every month, just hoping that the city defense army could appear as quickly as possible when someone came to make trouble.

This was originally the duty of the city defense force, and there was no reason why Hawkins should not agree. In the end, he divided the money equally among the ten squads, each team had five hundred, and promised to have it every month, and everyone immediately knew that the three major families had something else to say to him.

After the man was gone, Herman walked straight in.

Hawkins just wanted to ask him what was the matter, but his eyes suddenly widened, and he lost his voice: "Your kid has been promoted?" ”

He knew what level of Dou Qi Containment Method Herman was cultivating, and besides, how long had he only been promoted to Source Knight?

Herman smiled and patched it in advance: "It's just a fluke, thanks to a little adventure in the dark world." ”

A little adventure, how is this possible?

But Hawkins didn't ask any more, after all, everyone has a secret, he was able to be promoted to the earth knight in just ten years, in addition to a large number of combat exploits and contribution points, naturally there are secrets that belong to him, if you have to get to the bottom of it, no matter how powerful the force will fall apart in an instant.

Yu said with an envious smile: "I see, you kid is really lucky." ”

Herman could only laugh at this.

Hawkins asked, "It's not your turn today, is there something wrong with coming here?" ”

Herman asked, "Chief, do you know the physical technique?" ”

Hawkins looked surprised and said, "Have you been in contact with it?" It stands to reason that what you shouldn't be able to touch with your strength is in the underground world? ”

"You guessed it right."

The young man was about to tell him about the physical skills he had seen in Gloom Crystal City.

"I also learned several techniques from there, and finally summed up two tricks that are quite powerful."

After hearing this, Hawkins couldn't help but sigh again: "Your kid's luck is really ......" They are also retreating, they almost gave their lives on the road, but this kid has been experiencing adventures all the way, not only encountering adventures that are enough for him to be promoted, but also learning physical skills.

It's really more popular than people.

Herman said with a shy face: "Boss, which is stronger, the physical body technique or the energy technique, is it necessary for me to continue to study it?" ”

Hawkins thought for a moment and replied, "It's hard to say which is stronger and which is weaker, but since you have been promoted to a senior source knight, you are also qualified to go back to report this year, and when the time comes, I will take you to meet those commanders who have mastered physical skills, and they will definitely be able to give you answers." ”

He didn't know what to think, and said mysteriously: "Remember to hone your fighting skills during this time, Fort Edmund at the end of the year is full of adventures, pay attention to it." ”

Hearing this, Herman was filled with curiosity and asked, "Chief, what kind of adventure will it be?" ”

Hawkins didn't explain much, just let him focus on improving his strength.

I wanted to ask, but I met the officials of the City Lord's Mansion coming over, and Hawkins took the opportunity to drive him out.

Leave Central Street and head northwest to the first block.

This is the place where the big trading houses in the kingdom gather, and the flow of people is like weaving, rubbing shoulders with each other, and the shops on both sides are also overcrowded, and all kinds of voices are chaotic, and it is a prosperous scene.

As soon as Herman reached Pilsen's door, he saw Andre and his guards sneaking out of the shield firm, apparently touching a gray nose.

Behind the Hudun Merchant House is the Byron family, and it is common for small merchants to eat deflated here.

Without the idea of catching up with this guy, Herman pushed the door in, and his ears were quiet, and the sword qi stabbed at him.

Herman raised his hand to knock off the sword qi and said with a smile: "Do you want to have two hands?" ”

Pilson put away his sword at the right time and smiled slightly: "I want to fight at your house, after all, you have cheap things there, and there are no neighbors with status around." "His neighborhood is either a big family trading house or a hotel bar, and most of the people who are active in the neighborhood are unruly Vault Dwellers and knights of various adventure groups, and it will be a trouble if they accidentally affect others.

Herman didn't really come to him to fight, and waved his hand and said, "I don't make much, forget it." ”

Pilson smiled slightly and said, "Something?" ”

Herman said, "Yes. I just came from the head of the year, and I want to ask if you know about the year-end debriefing? ”

Pilsen's eyes froze, and he suddenly raised his hand and stabbed with a sword, and the color of the fighting spirit gradually deepened, and after a while, Pilsen's earth-based fighting spirit also made a lot of progress.

Herman's body was sideways, and he slapped his sword with his palm, and the black fire disappeared in a flash, and the aura of the high-level source knight could not be hidden.

"Sure enough, you've been promoted." Pilsen returned his sword to the sheath and said with a complicated expression.

Herman smiled, still the same rhetoric: "It's a little adventure when I'm underground, it's just a fluke." ”

What kind of adventure can make a Source Knight who has just been promoted less than a year ago be promoted again? You must know that the normal promotion cycle is based on three or five years, who can withstand your triple jump in half a year?

Pilson was slandered in his heart, but he didn't show it, and instead said: "The year-end debriefing mentioned by the leader refers to the fact that in the middle of December every year, the squadron leader returns to Fort Edmund with his valued henchmen or senior source knights who were promoted that year to participate in the Knights' all-army competition. ”

A hint of self-deprecation flashed in his eyes, and Pilson said: "I have been there four times since I was promoted, but I didn't get good results, I didn't even make it to the ranking list, the best result was two rounds away from the top 100, and the opponents I met were more perverted than the other, which really hit me badly, and I never went again." ”

Interestingly, Hawkins wanted to take him there last year, but he knew that he hadn't made much of a breakthrough in the past year, so he gave up the opportunity to Morey. As a result, this guy was unsurprisingly depressed for half a month, and he couldn't even lift his energy on the battlefield.

Herman's eyes were full of astonishment when he heard this, Pilson's strength of the Ninth Brigade was obvious to everyone, although his earth-based fighting spirit was not good at attacking, but it was very difficult for others to break through Pilson's sword and shield skills to defeat him. You must know that he can even withstand the attack of a four-pointed horned demon.

Herman didn't dare to say which was more difficult to break the shield or the spear, but he obviously preferred to fight with the kind of attack and defense that was low.

"Is there really so many masters in the Knights?" He's a little incredulous?

Pilson smiled: "Let's not talk about the other brigades, the seventh brigade you came from, there is a sword master named Roderick. His butterfly steps and waltz swordsmanship are superb, and the same C-level fighting skills can exert the power of B-level fighting skills in his hands, ranking in the top 20 of the Dawn List all year round, and he is the most powerful candidate to succeed the captain of the Seventh Brigade. As for the other teams, the higher the ranking, the stronger the others.

But the top three on the Dawn list are all in the third brigade from the head, and you will be able to see it at the end of the year. ”

He saw that the more he talked about Herman, the more excited he became, and suddenly he thought that he was like this back then, he was not afraid of anything at that time, he just wanted to meet these strong people, and it was not until he ran into a bloody head that the youthful spirit was exhausted.

I sighed in my heart - I just hope that Herman can have a good result.

Herman really wanted to see the strong men as he thought. As for whether he is a stepping stone or a background board, he hasn't thought about it yet.
