ꨡ[6Ba~oA~0: Chapter 0740: North Territory (Request for Monthly Tickets) Chapter 740: Chapter 0740: North Territory (Request for Monthly Tickets) In a roar, two figures violently collided with each other.

Xu Changqing watched for a few moments, then shook his head, “I made his bloodline manifest within him.

At this point, Joshua is only equivalent to a warrior of about level 14.

If it weren’t for his dragon scales and skin defending him, he probably wouldn’t last long under Berd Garvin’s attack…”

“After all, he’s just a dragon descendant with a diluted bloodline…” Su Lu sighed.

“Teacher…”

Ellie watched Joshua with worry.

He had already been grazed several times by the Son of the Mountains’ hammer, his dragon scales shattered, and he was in bad shape.

“This ridiculous farce should end.”

Xu Changqing nodded.

...

Ellie seemed to see a flash of shadow before her eyes.

Thump!

Berd Garvin, who was battling Joshua, was thrown back, a noticeable depression emerging in his chest, accompanied by the sound of breaking bones.

“What is…”

Joshua, having lost his opponent, stood in place blankly before finally speaking.

The scales on his body rapidly retracted, and Joshua blinked in surprise.

He then collapsed on the ground like a drained man.

“The Dragon Blood was activated, but it needs to consume a large amount of nutrients…”

Xu Changqing looked at the skeleton-like Joshua: “After you go back, remember to eat more meat.”

He strolled over to the Son of the Mountains, reaching out a hand.

An invisible soul was drawn out and landed in his palm.

Berd Garvin on the ground immediately lost his life.

Mans could not see Berd’s soul, but he knew that this powerful stranger had, with a simple flick of his hand, killed the master level Son of the Mountains entirely.

‘Could it be… a Legend!’

He looked at Xu Changqing’s silhouette, temporarily losing the ability to speak.

“Now…

are you clear about your own power limits?”

Xu Changqing turned around and asked Joshua, who had been healed once by Ellie.

“I understand…”

Joshua gave a wry smile: “Even if I activate Dragon Blood, I’m still far from a true master occupational person…

However, teacher…

Did you see it?

I succeeded!

I am a true Dragon Blood Warrior.”

Xu Changqing was momentarily speechless.

This guy didn’t seem to have learned his lesson at all.

Perhaps he should have intervened later, let him take a heavier beating?

“Teacher…”

Ellie quickly covered Joshua’s mouth, and said awkwardly, “Don’t listen to his nonsense.”

This mission had scared her.

She was afraid that Joshua’s brain might kick into high gear again, and challenge something of high difficulty.

“Let’s return and complete the task first.”

Xu Changqing sighed: “Then we’ll take a carriage on the road…”

“Where to?”

Joshua finally managed to free himself from Ellie’s grasp and asked excitedly, “Could it be to save a princess imprisoned by a demon dragon?”

“The North…”

Xu Changqing answered directly, following the old man’s instructions.

…

Half a month later, in the North Territory.

On the roadside, Leon, his hands donned in steel gauntlets, was dealing with the bear goblins who were attempting to rob them.

This was a type of goblin of over a meter tall, with extremely strong upper limbs, using wooden clubs and rocks as weapons.

They were the nightmares of rookie adventurers.

However, Leon was a seasoned mercenary, and Su Lu estimated his warrior level to be around 14, so he had no problems dealing with these bandits.

Shortly after, Leon, his fists bloody, returned to the carriage: “No problem, we can continue moving.”

He glanced at the expressionless coachman, feeling that he had an overly diverse range of expressions for his indifferent appearance and it formed a sharp contrast.

Furthermore, Leon faintly felt that this coachman might be stronger than him.

However, considering that Su Lu might be of a noble background, with a genuine expert arranged by his family for protection, it was not so surprising.

“Well done!”

Su Lu poked his head out of the carriage, looking at the falling snow outside, and asked, “We’ll soon arrive at the Ice Kingdom—Cardia, right?”

“Yes.”

“I heard there’s a princess there, ‘Belerinna, born of frost,’ I want to meet her.”

“The natural born frost mage?”

Even as a foreigner, Leon had heard of the princess’s fame.

Rumors say she had an extremely strong talent and was already on the doorstep to becoming a Legend at less than thirty years of age.

She was a renowned genius all across the continent.

Such a princess was not one ordinary nobles could meet as they wished.

‘Could it be…

this Su Lu is a Viscount?

One with legitimate rights at that?’

While each country recognized the nobles of others, foreign nobles certainly wouldn’t enjoy the same treatment as local ones, unless they possessed drastically significant power.

A Viscount with legitimate rights was indeed a standard.

…

Cardia, the capital of Kadi City.

The carriage slowly passed through the frozen white city walls.

Leon puffed out white fog, looking at the surrounding buildings, and couldn’t help but mutter, “It’s so cold…”

Although he was also a northerner, he wasn’t an occupational person and really couldn’t handle the weather here.

“We should find an inn to stay.”

Su Lu found an inn named ‘North Wind’, where he settled the carriage and had Felix take care of their luggage.

In the meantime, he, Leon, and Gailin sat down by the fireplace in the lobby to warm up.

They ordered the local famous roasted fish cuisine, along with a beverage named ‘Flame Wine’ which was said to be flammable.

Although it was not yet dark, the inn’s lobby, which also served as a bar, was already packed, with many engrossed in a specific topic.

“An annual martial arts competition?”

Upon hearing a few sentences, Leon’s spirit lifted: “Rich prizes, even foreigners can participate, the top eight are granted an audience with the Royal Family, and the champion may even be knighted?”

As a courageous and combative mercenary, he was immediately interested.

Of course, he hadn’t forgotten his duty, and looked towards his employer.

“Since we’re here doing nothing…

and it just so happens…

why not give it a try.”

Su Lu chuckled: “Perhaps you could become champion and be knighted.”

“I haven’t thought about that…”

Leon was very self-aware.

At such a nationwide martial arts competition, the winners should at least be master occupational individuals.

Only such professionals could be worthy of the subsequent rewards.

As for him?

If he was lucky enough to make it into the top tens, that would be adequate.

However, the rewards for the top ranks were also very enticing.

Added to the fact that he just wanted to give his fists a go, he was eager to try.

“Right, then hurry up and register.”

Su Lu continued: “And find out the rules.

If there’s no ban on wearing certain magical equipment, I might lend you a few pieces…”

“How could I…”

Leon scratched his head, feeling that his employer seemed to be arranging things a bit too deliberately.

But he couldn’t figure out exactly why, and quickly put it at the back of his mind.
