Lewin Andrew

The setting sun cast fiery red clouds across all of Wushan Town.

Wushan Town was an ordinary town in the Fenlai Kingdom on the Yulan Continent, and it was the territory of the Baruch Clan.

The Baruch Clan had once been incomparably glorious, one of the Four Ultimate Warriors clans of the Yulan Continent. But after more than five thousand years, it had long since declined and no longer possessed its former splendor.

Liewen climbed over the courtyard wall, which was covered in moss, ivy, and all manner of plants, and secretly slipped into the Baruch Clan estate.

After the Baruch Clan declined, in order to save expenses, all clan members had gathered in the front courtyard, which occupied one-third of the estate. The rear courtyard had been completely abandoned, with no one tending to it.

Liewen moved through the various ancient buildings in the rear courtyard with practiced ease.

He had snuck in several times already and had basically mastered the layout of the estate.

These old buildings had gone untended for years and were covered in dust and cobwebs, while weeds had sprouted from the corners of the walls.

"Here it is, the largest old building in the rear courtyard of the Baruch estate."

Liewen did not enter. He heard movement inside, as though someone was searching through something.

Liewen was delighted. He knew that today was the day.

He hid to one side and secretly watched the old building's door.

Before long, a brown-haired boy emerged from the building.

The boy was only eight years old, yet his eyes already carried a trace of determination and courage.

When the boy reached the threshold, his expression suddenly changed. He seemed to have stepped on something. Bending down, he picked up a black ring from the ground.

At that very moment, a string of information appeared in Liewen's mind.

"Witnessed Linley obtaining the Coiling Dragon Ring. Potential enhancement attempts +1."

"Lewin Andrew."

"Strength: 5th-Level Warrior."

"Potential: 7th-Level Warrior."

"Potential enhancement attempts: 1."

Looking at the panel in his mind, Liewen was ecstatic.

After transmigrating into this world eighteen years ago, he had finally completed his first witnessing mission.

Liewen came from Blue Star. He had originally been an ordinary office worker, but on his way home after a night shift, he had been involved in a traffic accident. When he opened his eyes again, he had transmigrated into this world.

This world was the Coiling Dragon World, the world of a novel Liewen had read in his previous life.

When Liewen arrived in this world, he had been a newborn infant, the illegitimate son of Viscount Andrew of the Fenlai Kingdom on the Yulan Continent.

His birth mother had died in childbirth, and he had not been welcomed by the Andrew Family. Viscount Andrew's legal wife had subjected him to every kind of humiliation.

If not for the little care Viscount Andrew still showed his illegitimate son, his circumstances would have been even worse.

When Liewen was six, he was found to possess decent warrior talent, so Viscount Andrew sent him to study at Welin Warrior Academy.

After leaving the Andrew Family ancestral estate and no longer suffering others' disdainful looks, Liewen's life became much easier.

Twelve years had passed. Eighteen-year-old Liewen now possessed the strength of a 5th-Level Warrior, placing him somewhat above average at Welin Warrior Academy.

After coming to this world, Liewen discovered that there was an additional system in his mind.

As long as Liewen could witness important milestones in the life of Linley, the protagonist of the novel Coiling Dragon, he could obtain potential enhancement attempts to improve his own potential.

Liewen's original potential was that of a 7th-Level Warrior. This meant his talent could only allow him to cultivate up to the level of a 7th-Level Warrior at most.

A 7th-Level Warrior might have been considered fairly good in the Fenlai Kingdom, but across the entire Yulan Continent, it was nothing remarkable.

Above 7th Level were 8th level, 9th level, the Saint Realm, and even the God Realm.

Liewen had read the novel Coiling Dragon in his previous life and was very familiar with this world's cultivation system and the experiences of its protagonist, Linley.

In order to become stronger, Liewen had long been waiting for Linley. Today, he had finally successfully witnessed the first crucial milestone in Linley's life.

Today was the day Linley obtained the Coiling Dragon Ring, the first step on his path toward becoming a powerful expert.

This witnessing granted Liewen one potential enhancement attempt.

Without hesitation, Liewen immediately used it to improve his potential.

"Lewin Andrew."

"Strength: 5th-Level Warrior."

"Potential: 9th-Level Warrior."

"Potential enhancement attempts: 0."

"9th level?" Seeing the updated information on the panel, Liewen was fairly satisfied.

A 9th-Level Warrior could already compete for the position of strongest expert in the Fenlai Kingdom.

An increase in potential meant that his cultivation speed would also rise.

Liewen could not wait to return and cultivate.

Liewen knew very clearly that in the Coiling Dragon World, strength was the most important thing.

Linley had already left the old building. He was going to attend the evening training session.

The youths of Wushan Town would train under Hillman, the captain of the Baruch Clan's guards, once in the morning and once in the evening.

After Linley left, Liewen did not linger either. He returned the way he had come and left the Baruch Clan estate.

The rear courtyard of the Baruch estate was untended, and the Baruch Clan no longer had any powerful experts, so he was unlikely to be discovered.

It was already late. After leaving the Baruch Clan estate, Liewen stayed at an inn in Wushan Town.

In his room, Liewen cultivated Light Battle Qi. He had already reached the peak of the 5th-Level Warrior stage.

After this potential increase, he found that his cultivation speed had become much faster. The bottleneck that had once trapped him was easily broken through.

Feeling the battle qi growing within his body, Liewen was quite satisfied.

"I've finally become a 6th-Level Warrior."

An eighteen-year-old 6th-Level Warrior was not particularly conspicuous on the Yulan Continent.

In the future, Linley would become a 6th-Level Warrior at seventeen despite focusing primarily on magic.

At Welin Warrior Academy, there were also several seventeen-year-old 6th-Level Warriors.

However, Liewen was not in a hurry.

Linley had already begun his path to becoming powerful. Liewen would obtain more and more potential enhancement attempts, and his progress would become faster and faster.

According to the system's prompt, the next witnessing opportunity would be tomorrow.

Tonight, Linley would witness a battle between an 8th-Level Mage and a mercenary squad.

This would be the first time Linley saw a mage fight. It would strengthen his determination to become powerful, but the system did not consider it an important story milestone, so Liewen did not go.

After arriving in this world and obtaining the system, Liewen had decided to interfere with Linley's growth as little as possible, lest a butterfly effect alter the original plot.

If he had the chance in the future, he might get acquainted with Linley, but he would not have too much contact with him.

Since he could not obtain a potential enhancement attempt tonight, Liewen had no intention of taking part.

Tomorrow, however, a battle between Saint Realm experts would take place in Wushan Town.

This battle would have an enormous impact on Linley's fate.

Linley would truly become the master of the Coiling Dragon Ring.

The night passed without incident.

Early the next morning, Liewen rose at dawn.

On the open ground east of Wushan Town, Linley and the other youths of Wushan Town had already finished their morning training.

At that moment, everyone noticed that several hundred meters above the ground not far to the east of Wushan Town, a black dragon over a hundred meters long was winding through the air. Its eyes were as large as cartwheels, its black scales emitted a chilling gleam, and its enormous outspread wings spanned a full hundred meters.

That was a magical beast, a black dragon.

The Black Dragon Tribe consisted of 9th-Level Magical Beasts, and its stronger members were even Saint Realm magical beasts.

A gray-robed figure stood atop the black dragon's head. Before the gray-robed figure stood a middle-aged man in green robes, suspended in the air.

The gray-robed figure was Rudy, an earth-element Saint Magus, while the green-robed middle-aged man was Tylong, the Starry Sky Sword Saint.
