Francis, who was below the stage, looked at Joelson and sighed heavily. He knew that if he wanted to catch up to Joelson, he might not have the chance to do so in his lifetime.
A bunch of carriages slowly drove into the city gates.
“This is the capital of the Alcott Empire.”
The person in the lead said with a smile.
“That’s all.” A slightly contemptuous voice sounded.
The corner of the leader’s mouth rose. He smiled and did not say anything.
Everyone in this group was wearing gorgeous and beautiful armor. They were tall and strong, and they did not blend in with everything around them.
On the carriage and armor, there was a small knight’s longsword symbol engraved on them, making them appear dignified and noble.
“I can predict that this time, Tulip Academy will welcome another crushing defeat!”
“Hahaha, isn’t this already destined? They can’t even beat us in the past, let alone this time?”
“We have Don Quixote!”
“The light of dawn of the Empire!”
Everyone in the cultural relics turned their gazes to a young man riding on a snow-white war horse. Their faces were filled with worship, reverence, and even fanaticism!
The man is known as Don Quixote.
He had golden hair that was as bright as the morning sun. His face was handsome and cold, and there was no expression on his face. It was as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
“Don Quixote has advanced to a sixth-tier knight, eighteen years old! If those mages from the Tulip Academy saw him, they would probably be scared to death!”
“It is said that there is a genius from the Tulip Academy this year. He advanced to a third-tier mage at the age of sixteen.”
“Third-tier?! Hahaha, I could crush him with one hand!”
“Oh? I really hope that this magic genius will not appear on the dueling platform in the exchange match. Otherwise, he might go home crying to find his mother!”
“Hahaha…”
A burst of arrogant laughter rang out in the team.
The middle-aged knight in the lead slowed down slightly and walked side by side with Don Quixote.
The two people beside Don Quixote also slowly approached.
One of them was a red-haired handsome teenager. The corners of his mouth rose, and his expression was relaxed and comfortable.
The other was a girl.
She had long golden hair like Don Quixote, tied behind her head. Her facial features were beautiful, but there was a hint of sharpness in her eyebrows and eyes.
Even if she was riding on a horse, one could see her tall and slender figure.
“Although the Tulip Academy has gradually declined in recent years and no geniuses have appeared, the foundation is still there. Don’t underestimate your opponents too much.”
The red-haired youth’s lips curled up slightly as if he was very disdainful.
Don Quixote and the blonde girl were expressionless.
The middle-aged knight shook his head helplessly.
When he said this, even he himself felt that it was a little exaggerated. This year’s exchange competition was not like an outing.
There were many geniuses in the Imperial Knight Academy. Every year, there would be extremely stunning geniuses appearing.
This time, there were even three of them appearing at the same time.
There was even a terrifying monster-like genius like Don Quixote.
Even His Majesty, the Emperor, was alarmed by him and awarded him the honor of the Empire’s light of dawn.
“I’m here for Princess Dayshannon.”
Don Quixote, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke, his determined gaze fixed upon the Imperial Palace of the Alcott Empire.
Slowly but firmly, he said, “I will defeat all those who try to stop me, one by one!”
…
Within the space of the Dragon God Ranch.
Two strange creatures stood in front of Joelson.
One could barely make out the appearance of a rabbit.
But one was like a big dog, and the other was as big as a calf.
One had blue fur, and the other had turned completely red.
Both rabbits had a small horn on their heads.
It was similar to the dragon horn on Du Lu’s head.
From the two rabbits, Joelson could feel the aura of a magical beast that was close to the first rank.
The one with the fiery red fur was close to a tier 2 magical beast.
Joelson was shocked.
They were just simple rabbits. A few drops of the dragon blood potion had allowed them to evolve to the level of a magical beast.
Wasn’t the effect of the potion a little too powerful?!
Joelson could finally confirm it.
The dragon blood potion was successfully concocted.
Moreover, the potion concocted with Du Lu’s dragon blood was obviously more effective.
After thinking for a long time, Joelson suddenly remembered.
Du Lu still had 10% of the ancient dragon bloodline flowing through his body.
If he guessed correctly, it should be this reason that caused the mutation of the Dragon Blood Potion.
Fortunately, this mutation was going in a good direction.
After confirming that there was no problem, the next step was to take it.
The formula said that there was no pain and no side effects during the process of taking the Dragon Blood Potion.
Joelson felt that this was complete nonsense.
After seeing the two rabbits take the potion, the excruciating pain of being skinned and cramped, Joelson would never believe that there was no pain.
‘Should I drink it?!’
Joelson was a little hesitant. In the end, he picked up the potion and drank it in one gulp.
He drank the cloudy bottle that looked like blood.
It was not as bad as he had imagined.
There was a faint fishy smell, and the taste was rough.
Du Lu and Enny curiously poked their heads over and looked at Joelson.
Joelson waited silently.
Suddenly, his chest hurt.
Joelson thought to himself, “It’s coming!”
The pain spread out like a spider web and quickly spread to Joelson’s entire body.
In an instant, the pain was magnified countless times.
It was like a hundred steel knives scraping on Joelson’s bones and flesh, accompanied by a faint chill.
Joelson’s handsome face instantly wrinkled into a ball, and his forehead was covered in a cold sweat.
He saw that his skin was bulging and expanding like a rabbit’s, and there were bloody blisters everywhere.
He hurriedly closed his eyes.
The pain surged up like a tide.
Joelson could only continuously mobilize his spiritual power. Wherever his spiritual power traveled, there was a cool feeling.
Crack! Crack!
When the pain reached its peak, Joelson could even feel his skin bursting.
He heard Du Lu and Enny’s worried growls. They must be very anxious.
The powerful spiritual power beyond ordinary people did not let Joelson faint easily.
He could only hold on and use his spiritual power to comfort the exploding wound.
He did not know how long this process would last.
…
“Tulip Magic Academy…”
The knights from the Knight Academy of the Yheng Empire arrived at the entrance of the academy and were naturally stopped by the guards.
“Who are you?”
A few arrogant knight students acted as if they did not hear anything and continued to ride their horses, wanting to enter.
The guards had a serious look on their faces and subconsciously pulled out their longswords at their waists.
They were all elite soldiers of the empire.
The emperor’s order was: anyone who tried to break into the Tulip Academy of Magic was an enemy of the empire.
“You still dare to draw your sword?!”
A red-haired young knight revealed a contemptuous smile. He sat on his horse and punched the guard fiercely. His fist emitted a dazzling white light.
The guard’s expression changed and he shouted loudly, “Level five… Level five knight?!”
