Sanctuary Potential

Two Saint-level experts were locked in a fierce battle above Wushan Town, the aftermath of which brought a massive catastrophe to the town.

The giant boulders summoned by the Earth-style Saint Magus Rudeus were shattered by the Star Sword Saint Tylong, raining down upon Wushan Town and causing numerous houses to collapse, resulting in casualties and plunging the entire town into chaos (details can be found in chapters 15 to 17 of the original work).

Linley was also injured by the falling debris while trying to save his younger brother Wharton, though fortunately, it was nothing serious.

Due to his injury, Linley's blood stained the Coiling Dragon Ring, completing the process of blood-binding it to its master.

"Witnessed the meeting between Linley and Doehring Cowart, potential upgrade count +1."

Liewen was lurking within Wushan Town; as a level 6 warrior, he had no trouble ensuring his own safety.

Moreover, with Wushan Town in such chaos, no one paid him any mind.

Having completed the witnessing task, Liewen did not linger; he left Wushan Town, steering clear of the combat zone between the two Saint-level powerhouses.

Doehring Cowart was a soul residing within the Coiling Dragon Ring, an Earth-style Saint Magus of the Pu'ang Empire that had perished over five thousand years ago, his soul having taken refuge in the ring after his death.

Because Linley had completed the blood-binding, becoming the master of the Coiling Dragon Ring, he was able to appear before Linley.

Doehring Cowart was the guide who led Linley into the study of Earth-style magic and was one of the most important figures in Linley's life.

This witnessing event had earned Liewen one potential upgrade count.

"Add points for me!"

Liewen used this potential upgrade count, and his potential was enhanced once again.

"Liewen Andrew."

"Strength: Level 6 Warrior."

"Potential: Saint-level Peak."

"Potential Upgrade Count: 0."

Liewen's potential had been raised to the Saint-level peak.

In the Coiling Dragon World, a Saint-level peak warrior only meant that one had cultivated their battle qi to the highest level of the Saint-level, but it did not mean they were the strongest combatant at that level.

The strongest combatants at the Saint-level were the Saint-level Limit experts.

Saint-level Limit experts were those who had comprehended a Profound Truth of the Laws to the final stage, leaving only one last step before reaching the God-level.

Profound Truths of the Laws were the deciding factor in the strength of a Saint-level powerhouse.

In the Coiling Dragon World, there were seven Laws: Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, Light, Darkness, and Thunder, with each Law containing multiple Profound Truths.

Beyond these, there were also four Edicts: Fate, Destruction, Life, and Death.

The more Laws and Edicts one comprehended, the greater their strength.

If one lacked ambition, reaching the Saint-level peak was enough to live quite well on the Yulan Continent. Furthermore, Saint-level experts had infinite lifespans; as long as they didn't provoke other powerful figures, they could enjoy wealth and glory forever without issue.

Of course, this was only the general situation. Having read the original Coiling Dragon work, Liewen knew clearly that the Yulan Continent would experience a series of upheavals in the near future; the Saint-level peak was not enough to guarantee his safety, and he needed to become even stronger.

"The next witnessing event is in the autumn, a few months from now, when Linley and Bebe first meet."

Liewen learned the time of the next witnessing event through the system.

A few months later, Linley would meet the most important partner of his life—the magical beast Bebe.

In the years to come, they would experience countless life-and-death adventures together.

With several months left until the next witnessing event, Liewen planned to return to the Welin Warrior Academy.

Wushan Town was less than a hundred li from Fenlai City, the capital of the Fenlai Kingdom, and the Welin Warrior Academy was located just over twenty li north of Fenlai City, so the two were not far apart.

Liewen was now a level 6 warrior, and his speed and stamina were far superior to those of an ordinary person, so he returned to the Welin Warrior Academy that very day.

The Welin Warrior Academy and the Welin Magic Academy shared the same campus, which covered a massive area.

The academy's facilities were complete, with hotels, shops, restaurants, and even entertainment venues available; students had no need to leave the academy grounds for their daily lives.

Both the Welin Warrior Academy and the Welin Magic Academy were top-tier institutions in the Fenlai Kingdom. Although they were far inferior to the Ernst Institute, they were already leaders within the Fenlai Kingdom, and many children of nobility studied there.

In the original work, Alice and Kalan, who had a romantic entanglement with Linley, were students of the Welin Magic Academy and the Welin Warrior Academy, respectively.

However, Linley was only eight years old now, and Alice and Kalan were about the same age, none of them having enrolled yet.

Liewen returned to his dormitory. His room was a four-person unit, a small space of less than forty square meters that couldn't compare to the Ernst Institute.

Before long, Linley would enter the Ernst Institute to study, and while the rooms there were also for four people, they were small villas with courtyards.

The place where Liewen lived was more like the student dormitories of his previous life on Blue Star.

However, compared to the cold shoulders he received at the Andrew Family estate, Liewen felt much more at ease living here.

"Liewen, you're back?"

In the dormitory, his roommate Jones was sitting on his bed, cultivating battle qi.

Seeing Liewen, he paused his cultivation.

Jones, like Liewen, was eighteen years old.

Liewen was 1.8 meters tall with a well-proportioned build and short black hair, his appearance being above average. Jones, however, was a full two meters tall, with a mature face and a body of powerful muscle; he was a level 5 warrior.

He came from an ordinary family in Fenlai City and was very diligent in his daily cultivation.

Jones gestured with his chin toward Liewen's bed: "There's a letter for you. You weren't here, so I left it on your bed."

After saying this, Jones continued his cultivation.

Liewen was not surprised by Jones's indifferent reaction.

In this regard, his experience was different from Linley's.

After Linley entered the Ernst Institute, he got along very well with his three roommates, as close as brothers.

Liewen's relationship with his roommates was rather average; it couldn't be called bad, but it certainly wasn't close.

Liewen also understood that not all roommates could get along harmoniously; such things could not be forced.

Liewen walked to the bedside and picked up the letter.

The envelope was made of high-quality paper, and the red wax seal bore the crest of the Andrew Family—an eagle with wings spread wide.

"A letter from the family?" Liewen was somewhat surprised.

Ever since he entered the Welin Warrior Academy, he had received almost no letters from his family.

Viscount Andrew's legitimate wife did not care for him.

His father was not close to Liewen either, with little daily communication; aside from sending living expenses and tuition, he basically never wrote.

To Liewen, Viscount Andrew was more like someone fulfilling the basic obligations of a father, devoid of any emotional component.

Liewen thought for a moment; today was not the day for living expenses or tuition to be sent, so what could this sudden letter be about?

Liewen opened the envelope, took out the letter, and after seeing the contents, his brows furrowed slightly.

The letter stated that Viscount Andrew had fallen suddenly ill and asked Liewen to return to visit him.

Liewen sighed, but decided to make the trip back.

He had no affection for the Andrew Family, but Viscount Andrew was his biological father after all and had fulfilled his basic obligations toward him; if the man was seriously ill, it was only right for him to go and visit.

Liewen set off immediately; the Andrew Family estate was right in Fenlai City, so it wouldn't take long to get back.

Fenlai City was magnificent and imposing, covering a vast area with a population of over a million.

Fenlai City was not only the capital of the Fenlai Kingdom but also the holy capital of the Holy Union.

The Holy Union, led by the Radiant Church, possessed great strength, consisting of six major kingdoms and fifteen duchies, with the Fenlai Kingdom being the most powerful of the six.

Because of the support of the Radiant Church, Fenlai City was a premier city throughout the entire Yulan Continent.

Fenlai City was divided into the East City and the West City; the West City was managed by the Radiant Church, while the East City was managed by the Fenlai Kingdom.

The Andrew Family estate was located on Greenleaf Road in the East City.
