Evil dragon has a warm heart
Chapter 548 - 548 546 Redefining Knight Levels

Chapter 548: Chapter 546 Redefining Knight Levels Chapter 548: Chapter 546 Redefining Knight Levels After not much walking, they reached the Black Horse Snow Forest, where the Pseudo-Nightmare Beast Dragon Senbula was already waiting on the rocky path.

Upon seeing Sacred Unicorn Polly, a more fervent adoration emerged in Senbula’s eyes; it could feel that this companion who shared the same origin had become unimaginably stronger.

“Rush,” it approached Polly, showing great submissiveness.

Among the herd, there was also a Horse King, and at this moment, Senbula evidently treated Polly as one.

Feeling Senbula’s admiration and obsession for Polly,

Russell calmly said, “Strive hard, Senbula, and one day you too may catch up with Polly, evolving into a Pseudo-Dragon and eventually a Phantom Dragon!”

“Rush!” Senbula gently responded.

Just then, Polly suddenly said in her mind, “Russell, I’ve realized that I no longer detest the scent of black horses.”

“Ha-ha, that’s quite normal, Polly. When we ascended to Phantom Dragon Knights, we faced and defeated our inner demons. Hence, be it black horses or white, it no longer matters to you because you’ve reached heights unheard of by our ancestors.”

“Yes, I’ve broken through the bloodline ceiling of our forebears, and now, I have become a Phantom Dragon!” Polly reflected.

Scenes of sealed memories, like illusions during her ascension to a Phantom Dragon, began to unravel.

With no more qualms about its identity as a horse, it no longer disliked the scent of black, yellow, or any other colored horses.

Pausing, she spoke in her mind, “I wonder how Leize is doing. After my ascension, the power of my Phantom Dragon bloodline has quietly blossomed within Leize… Strange, it wasn’t here that it blossomed.”

“I’m curious too,” Russell nodded.

Then he closed his eyes to nurture his spirit, feeling the new power within his body whose concentric circle structure had undergone significant changes.

The outermost layer was no longer Dragon Breath.

Instead, it was Polly’s Illusion Dragon Yuan Breath wrapping the Dragon Breath which in turn enveloped Harpies Hape’s Pseudo-Dragon Yuan Breath, with Pseudo-Dragon Yuan Breath enveloping both Senbula’s and Ouroboros’s Phantom Beast Yuan Breath.

“Each particle of power, consisting of four layers… that’s too strange!” Russell shook his head, “But as long as the powers don’t conflict, the transcendental forces of this extraordinary world possess their own essence!”

And from this concentric circle structure,

Dragons, Phantom Dragons, Bipedal Flying Dragons, Pseudo-Dragons, and Phantom Beasts, each layer clearly defined, forming a complete hierarchical chain.

“The tiers of a knight’s training will, I fear, be redefined by me!” He suddenly opened his eyes, watching the snowy forest lining the rocky path, feeling an indescribable impulse; for traversing the Dragon Sleep Continent he had finally achieved changing the world.

In this world, he left a profound mark of his own—Phantom Dragon Knight.

He closed his eyes again, starting to organize the tiers of knight training.

The original knight levels were divided into five major stages: Yuan Kind Tier, Fighting Spirit Tier, Prime Breath Tier, Dragon Breath Tier, and Dragon Flame Tier.

Yuan Kind Tier and Fighting Spirit Tier were personal knight trainings, with Great Knight being the peak.

After contracting a Phantom Beast, one could commence training in the Prime Breath Tier, advancing from Tier 1 Phantom Beast Knight up to Tier 5 High Phantom Beast Knight.

After contracting a Bipedal Flying Dragon, one could start training in the Dragon Breath Tier.

However, from the Dragon Breath Tier, the Way of the Knight split into two paths: one could contract a Bipedal Flying Dragon or rise to become a Dragon Domain Lord.

“Whether as a Flying Dragon Knight or a Dragon Domain Lord, fundamentally, they are both Pseudo-Dragon Knights… Bipedal Flying Dragons can also be considered a type of Pseudo-Dragon. Thus, both Dragon Domain Lords and Flying Dragon Knights can be referred to as Tier 1 Pseudo-Dragon Knights.”

Possessing both identities or owning two Pseudo-Dragons, one could proceed to Tier 2 High Pseudo-Dragon Knight.

As for the limit of Pseudo-Dragon Knights, it is yet unknown.

Previously, Russell had reached the rank of a Third-layer High Pseudo-Dragon Knight, but this was not the limit, as Fourth-layer and Fifth-layer were still attainable.

“Phantom Beast Knights, Pseudo-Dragon Knights, next should be the Dragon Flame Tier’s Dragon Knights.” Russell thought.

Originally in the Dragon Flame Tier, there was only one rank: Dragon Knight.

However, after Polly’s promotion to a Phantom Dragon, a preparatory level for Dragon Knights was created—the Phantom Dragon Knight.

“But Dragon Knights and Phantom Dragon Knights shouldn’t simply be equated to First-layer and Second-layer; these are still two major ranks. Phantom Dragon Knights indeed open up First-layer, Second-layer… Upon reaching a Third-layer High Phantom Dragon Knight, one could possibly match a Dragon Knight.”

This conclusion was based on the concentration of elemental forces of both dragons and phantom dragons: “By the time one reaches the Fourth-layer High Phantom Dragon Knight, they might even surpass a Dragon Knight.”

Thus,

Russell had completed arranging a whole new Knightly cultivation system.

Qi Seed Tier, non-ranked.

Fighting Spirit Tier, divided into the ranks of Armed Knight and Great Knight.

Prime Breath Tier, divided into First-layer Phantom Beast Knight, Second-layer High Phantom Beast Knight, Third-layer High Phantom Beast Knight, Fourth-layer High Phantom Beast Knight, and Fifth-layer High Phantom Beast Knight—five ranks.

Dragon Breath Tier, divided into First-layer Pseudo-Dragon Knight (Flying Dragon Knight or Dragon Domain Lord), Second-layer Pseudo-Dragon Knight (Flying Dragon Knight combined with Dragon Domain Lord, or High Dragon Domain Lord), Third-layer Pseudo-Dragon Knight, Fourth-layer Pseudo-Dragon Knight…

Dragon Flame Tier, divided into First-layer Phantom Dragon Knight, Second-layer High Phantom Dragon Knight, Third-layer High Phantom Dragon Knight or Dragon Knight…

Passing through Black Horse Snow Forest, they soon entered the territory of Shadowflame Duchy.

A familiar dragon force of protection enveloped the hearts of the knights, and Russell had a special sensation: “Is this the power radiated by the Shadowflame Dragon, so hot, scorching, pure elemental power of fire?”

Previously,

The dragon radiated power he sensed was blurry, but now he clearly perceived the nature of this power.

“Moreover, indeed, this power, along with yours and mine, Polly, no longer shows a clear hierarchical difference, all belonging to the Dragon Flame Tier,” Russell said inwardly.

Polly responded softly, “There’s still a little difference though, the power of the Shadowflame Dragon is more mixed, while our power is more refined. We only have the power of thunder elements, but in the powers of the Shadowflame Dragon, you can find all kinds of elemental powers like earth, water, fire, wind, thunder, light, ice, and dark.”

“Is that so?” Russell exclaimed.

Then, he carefully felt the radiated power, and indeed, amidst the surging power of fire, he vaguely felt the presence of other elemental powers.

“Wow,” Russell squinted, “I thought the dragon’s power would be purer, I didn’t expect it to be so mixed… However, these mixed elemental powers seem not to affect the dragon’s control over its power.”

“Not only does it not affect, but precisely because the dragon’s power is mixed, it can adapt to any complex environment.”

“Yes, indeed,” Russell agreed.

After exploring the power of the Shadowflame Dragon, Russell switched to riding Senbula and said to Polly, “Come on, let me see what kind of mark you will transform into now.”

“Alright.” Polly directly transformed into lightning, branding Russell’s forehead.

Borrowing a mirror from the carriage, Russell clearly saw Polly’s new mark, still shaped like golden lightning. However, unlike the previous single bend in the lightning symbol, this time, the lightning symbol had an additional bend.

“This shape, it’s almost like the Flash’s symbol!” Russell touched the brand-new Double Folding Lightning Mark on his head.

The sensation was tingling, as countless electric sparks flickered on the mark.

Compared to the Single Folding Lightning Mark, the Double Folding Lightning Mark was a bit longer, so the tornado mark that Hape transformed into could only cover half of the Double Folding Lightning Mark.

“How should I put it, both are really cool!” Russell touched his chin, admiringly.
