Chapter 1 Lewin Andrew
The sun set in the west, and the fiery red clouds of dusk bathed the entire Wushan Town in a crimson glow.
Wushan Town was an ordinary small town in the Fenlai Kingdom of the Yulan Continent, and it served as the ancestral territory of the Baruch Clan.
The Baruch Clan had once been incredibly glorious, standing as one of the four ultimate warrior clans of the Yulan Continent, but over five thousand years had passed, and it had long since declined, no longer possessing its former splendor.
Lewin climbed over a courtyard wall covered in moss, ivy, and various other plants, sneaking into the Baruch Clan estate.
After the Baruch Clan declined, to save on expenses, the clan members had concentrated their living quarters in the front courtyard, which occupied only one-third of the estate, leaving the back courtyard completely abandoned and untended.
Lewin navigated through the various old buildings in the back courtyard with practiced ease.
He had snuck in several times before and had basically mastered the layout of the estate.
These old houses had been left unattended for years, long since covered in dust and cobwebs, with weeds sprouting from the corners of the walls.
"Here it is, the largest old house in the back courtyard of the Baruch estate."
Lewin did not go inside; he heard movement within the house, as if someone were rummaging through something.
Lewin felt a surge of joy, knowing that today was the day.
He hid to one side, secretly watching the door of the old house.
Before long, a brown-haired boy walked out of the house.
The boy was only eight years old, but his eyes already held a hint of determination and courage.
As the boy reached the threshold, his expression suddenly changed, as if he had stepped on something; he lowered his body and picked up a black ring from the ground.
At that very moment, a string of information appeared in Lewin's mind.
"Witnessed Linley obtaining the Coiling Dragon Ring, potential upgrade count +1."
Lewin Andrew. Strength: Level 5 Warrior. Potential: Level 7 Warrior. Potential upgrade count: 1.
Looking at the panel information in his mind, Lewin was ecstatic.
Having transmigrated to this world eighteen years ago, he had finally completed his first witnessing mission.
Lewin was from Blue Star and had been an ordinary worker; after a traffic accident on his way home from a night shift, he opened his eyes to find he had transmigrated into this world.
This world was the Coiling Dragon world, the setting of a novel Lewin had read in his previous life.
When Lewin arrived in this world, he was a newborn infant, the illegitimate son of Viscount Andrew of the Fenlai Kingdom on the Yulan Continent.
His birth mother died in childbirth, and he was not welcomed in the Andrew family, being bullied in every possible way by Viscount Andrew's legal wife.
If not for the fact that Viscount Andrew still showed a little concern for his illegitimate son, his situation would have been even worse.
When Lewin was six, he was found to have decent warrior talent, so Viscount Andrew sent him to the Welin Warrior Academy to study.
Leaving the ancestral home of the Andrew family and no longer being looked down upon, Lewin's life became much easier.
Twelve years had passed, and eighteen-year-old Lewin now possessed the strength of a Level 5 Warrior, which was considered above average at the Welin Warrior Academy.
After arriving in this world, Lewin discovered that he had a system in his mind.
As long as Lewin could witness the important life milestones of the novel's protagonist, "Linley," he could obtain potential upgrade counts to improve his own potential.
Lewin's original potential was that of a Level 7 Warrior, which meant his talent could only allow him to cultivate up to the level of a Level 7 Warrior at most.
A Level 7 Warrior might be considered quite good in the Fenlai Kingdom, but in the context of the entire Yulan Continent, it was nothing.
Above Level 7 Warriors, there were Level 8, Level 9, Saint-level, and even God-level beings.
Lewin had read the novel Coiling Dragon in his previous life and was very familiar with the cultivation system of this world and the experiences of the protagonist, "Linley."
In order to become stronger, Lewin had long been waiting for "Linley," and today, he had finally successfully witnessed the first key milestone in Linley's life.
Today, Linley had obtained the Coiling Dragon Ring; this was the day he began his path to becoming a powerhouse.
This witnessing had earned Lewin a potential upgrade opportunity.
Lewin did not hesitate and immediately used it to improve his potential.
Lewin Andrew. Strength: Level 5 Warrior. Potential: Level 9 Warrior. Potential upgrade count: 0.
"Level 9?" Seeing the update on the panel, Lewin was quite satisfied.
A Level 9 Warrior could already compete for the throne of the strongest in the Fenlai Kingdom.
An increase in potential meant that his cultivation speed would also increase.
Lewin couldn't wait to go back and cultivate.
Liewen knew very well that in the Coiling Dragon world, strength was the most important thing.
Linley had already left the old house; he was going to attend the evening training session.
The youths of Wushan Town would all follow Hillman, the captain of the Baruch Clan guards, to train twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
With Linley gone, Liewen did not linger either, returning the way he came and leaving the Baruch Clan estate.
The backyard of the Baruch estate was unattended, and since the Baruch Clan currently lacked any powerful experts, he would basically not be discovered.
The sky had grown dark, and after leaving the Baruch Clan estate, Liewen checked into an inn in Wushan Town.
In his guest room, Liewen practiced his Light Battle Qi; he had already reached the peak of the fifth rank.
After this increase in potential, he discovered that his cultivation speed had become much faster, and the bottleneck that had once trapped him was broken through with ease.
Feeling the growing Battle Qi within his body, Liewen was quite satisfied.
Finally, I have become a sixth-rank warrior.
An eighteen-year-old sixth-rank warrior was not particularly eye-catching on the Yulan Continent.
The future Linley, while focusing primarily on magic, had become a sixth-rank warrior at seventeen.
At the Welin Warrior Academy, there were also a few seventeen-year-old sixth-rank warriors.
However, Liewen was not in a hurry.
Linley had already begun his path to becoming a powerhouse, and Liewen would obtain more and more opportunities to increase his potential, with his progress becoming faster and faster.
According to the system's prompt, the next witnessing opportunity would be tomorrow.
Tonight, Linley would witness a battle between an eighth-rank magus and a mercenary squad.
This was the first time Linley would see a magus battle, which would strengthen his resolve to become a powerhouse, but since the system did not deem it an important plot node, Liewen did not go.
Upon arriving in this world and obtaining the system, Liewen had decided to interfere as little as possible with Linley's growth, so as to avoid a butterfly effect that might alter the original plot.
If there were an opportunity in the future, he might get to know Linley, but he would not have too much contact.
Since he could not obtain a potential increase opportunity tonight, Liewen did not intend to participate.
And tomorrow, a battle between Saint-level powerhouses would take place in Wushan Town.
This battle would have a huge impact on Linley's destiny.
Linley would truly become the master of the Coiling Dragon Ring.
The night passed without incident.
The next morning, Liewen rose early.
On the open ground to the east of Wushan Town, the morning training for Linley and the youths of Wushan Town had already concluded.
At this moment, everyone noticed that in the sky two or three hundred meters above a spot not far to the east of Wushan Town, a black dragon, a hundred meters in length, was winding and circling in mid-air. The giant dragon's eyes were as large as carriage wheels, its black dragon scales emitted a chilling cold light, and its massive wingspan reached a full hundred meters.
That was the magical beast, the Black Dragon.
The Black Dragon race consisted of ninth-rank magical beasts, and the strongest among them were even Saint-level magical beasts.
Standing on the head of the Black Dragon was a man in grey robes. The grey-robed man was looking ahead at a middle-aged man in green robes who was standing in mid-air.
The grey-robed man was the Earth-style Saint Magus Rudeus, and the green-robed middle-aged man was the Star Sword Saint Tylong.
