Chapter 344 - 344 344 Leveled Up Again

344: Chapter 344: Leveled Up Again 344: Chapter 344: Leveled Up Again Over the next two days, Zhao Guang devoted a large portion of his energy to the Dawn Swordsmanship.

Early in the morning, before the sunrise, Zhao Guang began his training.

After all, the name of the swordsmanship was “Dawn,” who knew if it had any relation to that time of day?

After two days, Zhao Guang had confirmed that it essentially had no relation.

The so-called “Dawn” was merely a characteristic of the swordsmanship itself.

The Light Attribute Fighting Spirit condensed onto the sword was not in a common manner.

Instead, it was refined into a line in a special way, appearing very faint in light.

When it exploded, together with the explosion of the Fighting Spirit, the light would also burst.

It resembled the sun at dawn, instantly illuminating the earth, and could also create a flash-bang effect.

Because of this swordsmanship, Zhao Guang found some new directions for improvement in the Battle Skill known as “Flash.”

Swordsmanship is a special Battle Skill that progresses from simple to complex; even those who are not yet Junior Warriors can learn it.

However, as one’s strength improves, the power it can unleash also deepens continuously.

This enhancement in effect would probably continue until the limits of the swordsmanship were reached.

Therefore, truly powerful Warrior Families always have such skills as part of their legacy.

Learning it is not difficult; the challenge lies in researching it profoundly and performing it better.

Furthermore, Zhao Guang also discovered that with this sword technique, he basically did not need any common Battle Skills anymore.

“No wonder many Battle Skills can be exchanged for military merits on the military side.

Now it seems, those individual Battle Skills and this systematic swordsmanship are not on the same level at all.”

After practicing once, Zhao Guang stopped and sat down to study Alchemy.

Yes, it was Basic Alchemy.

These past few days, while just entering the threshold of swordsmanship, he had finally completed his long-time study of Basic Alchemy.

At that moment, Zhao Guang’s hands were continuously changing a lump of metal into various shapes.

If he delved deeper, he might even be able to change the properties of the substance.

With Basic Alchemy, paired with his Basic Rune Studies, it became much easier to create and research his various Runes.

Even some simple magic items, he could make on his own now.

Unfortunately, time was still insufficient; it was impossible to learn so much knowledge in such a short time.

Indeed, he had to stay grounded and continue improving step by step.

“Master, a Court Etiquette Officer has arrived.”

Hearing this, Zhao Guang could only stop; further discussions would have to wait until he had time.

Essentially, Zhao Guang had some guesses about what was to be done.

Indeed, seeing the person who came, there was significantly more respect towards him.

At least the disdainful looks that had been present at the beginning were not seen again.

Subsequently, Zhao Guang followed the Etiquette Officer, changed his clothes along the way, and arrived at the Imperial Palace, also known as that special fortress.

This time, it was not to the side halls of the Imperial Palace but directly into the vicinity of the main hall.

He waited until the meeting discussion inside was over and was then led by the Etiquette Officer into another room nearby.

Honestly, these rooms each had their own purpose, which was quite confusing.

“I’ve seen His Majesty, I’ve seen Princess, your Highness.” As soon as Zhao Guang entered, he saw the King already waiting there, and Princess Balola was also in the room, along with some other people.

“I have been too busy these past few days to meet with you, and for that, I should apologize.”

“Your Majesty need not apologize.

Your diligence only serves to improve our nation, and we feel honored by it.”

“Well said.” Balola smiled at Zhao Guang, though the pressure from him was more palpable.

The King nodded slightly.

Though Zhao Guang had humble origins, he was indeed no ordinary man.

Such humility was rare among the noble youth, and truly, he was worthy of the King’s favor.

“No, I do indeed need to apologize this time.

Initially, I intended to elevate you to the rank of Earl due to your significant contributions.

However, due to the rapid nature of this promotion and the opposition from many, I could only elevate you to Viscount.”

It was quite impressive, being promoted by one rank directly.

If he had advanced four ranks in such a short time, that would have been truly astounding.

Even though he indeed deserved the recognition, there would still be many who looked unfavorably upon him.

While they might not be able to assist him, they could certainly cause trouble for him.

“By no means, it was but a modest contribution; being elevated to Viscount is already a great honor.”

Zhao Guang received something from the Court Etiquette Officer beside him, who was indeed full of both envy and jealousy.

Rising three ranks in a short period to the level of Viscount and being remembered by His Majesty was a tremendous honor for those nobles dependent on the Royal Family.

This time, Zhao Guang was satisfied with his new badge, as his earlier request had indeed been fulfilled.

Inside the three circles, it was now completely empty, devoid of other symbols.

Though it now looked more like a simple triplet, it also made it easier for him to add things later.

Once he ascended to the rank of Earl, he could freely add to it, but not yet, as his rank was insufficient.

However, seeing Zhao Guang’s expression, the King felt a bit apologetic.

Thinking back to that day’s events frightened the King; if not for Zhao Guang, he might have been deeply poisoned by the time he received treatment.

With such toxicity, he may not have been saved.

His two useless sons would likely also not have survived the barrage of arrows.

Though his sons were ineffectual, they were still his sons, after all.

Apart from a few with peculiar thinking, anyone who had their family saved would certainly think of repaying the savior.

Unfortunately, as the King, many matters were not his alone to decide.

When he initially proposed elevating Zhao Guang to Earl, he faced opposition from nearly all his ministers.

The speed of the promotion was deemed an unfavorable precedent to set.

And because of various influences, Zhao Guang’s achievements had to be suppressed.

Of course, the King was aware that the incident had caused significant losses to many nobles.

Though they dared not express it openly, Zhao Guang had indeed become a target of their resentment.

After taking and donning everything that was handed to him, the King had someone bring over a map.

“You received your title through military merits, and rightfully so, you should receive lands.

However, the domestic lands have already been distributed, so there are only two ways to gain lands now.

One is to become a noble affiliated with the Royal Family, who possesses lands.”

The King pointed to the side, “The other is to become a pioneering Lord.

I suppose you have not yet chosen your own lands.”
