Chapter 56: Chapter 55: Advancent Information, [Crown Knight (3-Star)]
He spoke thoughtfully: "So we need to perform the ’Bloodline Awakening’ ritual?"
"That’s correct," Andre said solemnly: "This ritual requires specific potions and guidance. There’s a certain risk, but the success rate is relatively high. Once awakened, the power increases quite steadily, and its compatibility with other cultivation thods is also very good."
"What about the Demon Hunters?"
"Demon Hunters take a more aggressive route," Andre explained:
"They directly alter their body structure through a special ’stitching’ thod to gain special abilities similar to Half-Demonization. This thod is riskier, with a failure rate exceeding seventy percent, but the power surge upon success is more significant, particularly in terms of resistance in various aspects."
As he finished speaking, Ron saw an information panel appear before him again:
[Profession Advancent Information Unlocked: Demon Hunter (Two Stars)]
[Transfer Conditions:
1. Physical Attribute reaching 2.5
2. Complete Demon Beast Organ ’Stitching’
3. Successfully withstand rejection response]
[Traits: Hunting Evil, Abnormal Resistance, Demonization]
Ron rembered the strange signs he had seen in Lizard Alley before. Those people might be cultivators who took the Demon Hunter path.
"As for the Magic Swordsn..."
Andre’s voice dropped lower:
"They are rarer and more powerful, perfectly combining magic with swordsmanship, capable of directly channeling magic through swords to unleash attacks similar to magic. But this path demands extrely high talent—not only excellent swordsmanship talent but also a considerable degree of spiritual power."
"Almost all Magic Swordsn were already Sword Masters before advancing, and they possessed outstanding spiritual talent. In fact, individuals with such dual talents are extrely rare, which is why the number of true Magic Swordsn is so scarce."
Ron felt a spark; this path seed well aligned with his current developnt direction—both the physique enhancent of a Knight and the mastery of spiritual power of a Wizard.
He also saw the third information panel appear before him simultaneously:
[Profession Advancent Information Unlocked: Magic Swordsman (Two and a Half Stars)]
[Transfer Conditions:
1. Physical Attribute reaching 2.5
2. Spirit Attribute reaching 2.0√
3. Basic Swordsmanship reaching mastery
4. Breathing Body Refining reaching proficiency
5. Complete Magic Sword Creation]
[Traits: Dharma Seal, Weapon Enchantnt, Magic Surge]
"However..." Andre added:
"I’ve heard that those with the ’Sun’s Protection’ have the chance to embark on a more unique route after becoming Magic Swordsn—the Crown Knight. It’s a legendary profession recorded only in ancient royal records, said to directly channel solar energy, with unparalleled combat strength."
"According to ancient records, those Crown Knights were exceptional Magic Swordsn before becoming Crown Knights. Perhaps it was because of the perfect fusion of swordsmanship, magic, and the Crown Power that they achieved unparalleled power."
At this mont, Ron saw another information panel appear before him, but this one was different from before, as the text on the panel was faintly visible and incomplete:
[Rare Profession Advancent Information Partially Unlocked: Crown Knight (Three Stars)]

[Hint: More related information is needed to fully unlock]
"Crown Knight?" Ron was sowhat surprised: "This is indeed the first ti I’ve heard of it. It seems that even in the school’s basic data library, there is no relevant information."
"Because there hasn’t been a Crown Knight for many years now," Andre explained:
"In the centuries since its founding, the entire Faruk Kingdom has had only two Crown Knights. It is said that their power even surpassed many research-oriented Official Wizards, which is why the royal family at its peak was almost on par with the Black Mist School..."
As they spoke, they continued to traverse the small paths in Lizard Alley.
"In short..." Andre concluded: "No matter which route you choose, a solid foundation is necessary. Mastery of the ’Crown Breathing Technique’ and complentary swordsmanship is essential."
Ron deeply agreed, knowing that the Ti Guardian’s pocket watch and the materials collected this ti would undoubtedly beco a powerful assistant in accelerating his growth.
"Thank you for sharing," he said genuinely, "This information is indeed valuable to ."
Andre laughed upon hearing this and teased: "Haha... If you really want to thank , then charge
fewer Magic Stone Fragnts in Magic Potion Refining. That would be more practical than anything."
"Talking about discounts would an the end of friendship."
Ron replied with amusent, then unconsciously quickened his pace, swiftly leaving this area not suited for leisurely chat.
After returning to his dormitory, he carefully used spiritual power to probe various parts of the room, ensuring there were no surveillance or traps, before finally relaxing.
After securely locking the door, he took out the silver pocket watch from his bosom and examined it carefully under the candlelight.
The pocket watch emitted a gentle silver glow in the candlelight, while the black gemstone embedded in it resembled a sleeping eye, deep and mysterious.
He wiped away the remaining dust on the surface, making the ancient patterns instantly clearer.
Upon close observation, these patterns were indeed not ordinary decorations but a kind of ancient rune he had never seen before.
These runes did not belong to the commonly used Wizard School rune system, nor did they resemble any other known transcendent forces’ markings.
They were more like so mysterious characters from distant tispaces, with each stroke containing an indescribable power.
"The Ti Guardian’s pocket watch... Ti Guardian, it sounds like so sort of profession."
He mused inwardly, gently stroking the black gemstone with his fingers.
[Ti Guardian’s Pocket Watch (Pending Activation)]
"How do I activate you?" he murmured internally, cautiously probing the inside of the pocket watch for possible clues with his spiritual power.
The black gemstone on the pocket watch seed to sense his intent, suddenly glowing with a trace of dark red light, as though a pair of eyes were beginning to watch him.
At the sa ti, he heard an ancient and hoarse voice echoing from the depths of his heart:
"With blood as the pact, with ti as the oath."
Ron instinctively understood how to activate the pocket watch, as if a distant yet familiar mory fragnt was remapped in his mind.
He put down the pocket watch, found a small knife, and gently nicked his finger, without hesitation or fear of pain.
A drop of fresh blood slowly dripped onto the black gemstone of the pocket watch, perhaps an exceedingly important droplet in the river of destiny.
The mont the blood made contact with the gemstone, it was like molten iron poured into an icy lake, a strong energy fluctuation burst from the pocket watch, rippling outward, then quickly contracting.
