Physical Potential

The Dawson Chamber of Commerce acted quickly, releasing the news of the Andrew Family selling off their assets the very next day.

The news caused quite a stir within the circles of nobles and the wealthy in Fenlai City.

It was common for nobles to sell off assets; after all, there were always spendthrifts among them, and no noble house remained prosperous forever. The Baruch Clan, where Linley resided, had declined, and their patriarch, Hogg, often had to sell family heirlooms to maintain their expenses.

But for someone like Lewin to sell off all his assets for no apparent reason was highly unusual.

Lords, ladies, young masters, and misses from various great families were all gossiping about it, and quite a few nobles who had their eyes on the Andrew Family's assets approached the Dawson Chamber of Commerce to inquire about prices.

Marquis Nobo even angrily sought out Lewin, accusing him of being a spendthrift.

As a friend of the previous Viscount Andrew, he did not want to see the Andrew Family fall into ruin like this.

To this, Lewin only responded politely: "If Marquis Nobo is interested, I can offer you a discount."

Marquis Nobo left in a fit of rage.

Lewin stayed behind closed doors, letting the outside world discuss as they pleased.

Days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, more than a year had gone by, with the date reaching November 29, 9998 of the Yulan Calendar.

Over the past year, Lewin's battle qi had steadily improved, and he had successfully broken through to become a ninth-rank warrior.

As for the Laws of Light, there was still no progress.

In his memory, the novel did not provide a detailed description of the six profound mysteries of the Laws of Light.

The ones he could confirm were the profound mystery of Light Element and the profound mystery of Light Speed. As for the remaining four, there were only some peripheral descriptions, and Lewin could only guess based on these extremely scarce details.

Lewin felt that among the remaining mysteries, one was the clone mystery, one was a soul-type attack mystery, one was a healing-type mystery, and as for the last one, he could not even guess.

"Today is the day Linley's first love ends; the next witnessing opportunity is almost here."

With his comprehension of the laws progressing slowly, Lewin could only pin his hopes on improving his potential to boost his own enlightenment.

On the evening of November 29, Lewin left his mansion and headed toward the Ernst Institute.

Tonight, Linley would witness Alice and Kalan walking hand-in-hand on Champs-Elysees Avenue, marking the end of their romance.

Heartbroken, Linley would return to the back mountain of the Ernst Institute, pouring all his emotions into sculpting "Dream Awakening," a piece based on his meeting, falling in love, and separating from Alice.

Approaching December, the continuous heavy snow had draped the back mountain of the Ernst Institute in a silver coat.

Lewin arrived at the back mountain and saw from afar that in an open space ahead, Linley was standing quietly in front of a giant boulder, his eyes tightly shut.

Linley's friends, George, Reynolds, and others, were on the other side, watching Linley anxiously.

Lewin found a hidden spot to conceal himself; the back mountain of the Ernst Institute had plenty of trees and boulders, so hiding was not an issue.

Linley's sculpting this time would last for ten days and ten nights, and Lewin was prepared to wait.

After a day and a night, Linley, who had been standing still, finally moved. He held a flat chisel and swung it, creating a flurry of blade shadows, and stone chips immediately flew from the boulder in front of him.

Linley began to sculpt, entering a state of self-forgetfulness as his spiritual energy rose rapidly.

Ten days and ten nights later, Linley finished the sculpture, and the giant boulder before him had transformed into five statues of a young girl.

All five statues were of Alice, each expressing different emotions: some pitiful, some cute, some shy, some moving, and some heartless.

Linley had condensed the experiences of this first year of love into these five statues and named the sculpture "Dream Awakening," signifying that the dream of love from this past year had awakened.

"Witnessed Linley sculpting Dream Awakening, physical potential improvement count +1."

This witnessing was beyond Lewin's expectations; what increased this time was not the potential improvement count, but the physical potential improvement count.

Lewin consumed the count, and the system panel updated.

Lewin Andrew.

Strength: Ninth-rank warrior.

Potential: Lowgod.

Physical Strength: Sixth-rank warrior.

Physical Potential: Lowgod artifact.

Potential Improvement Count: 0.

Physical Potential Improvement Count: 0.

Lewin's physical potential had reached the level of a lowgod artifact.

Lewin was overjoyed. In the Coiling Dragon World, physical strength was even more important than artifacts.

An offensive lowgod artifact could only increase attack power.

A material defensive lowgod artifact could only increase material defense.

But if one possessed a body at the level of a lowgod artifact, it would be an all-around improvement in strength, speed, and material defense.

However, those who could possess a body at the artifact level were generally divine beasts. For ordinary races like humans, unless they conducted research and modifications on their own bodies, their upper limits were not high.

Looking at the panel display, it was clear that there was still room for improvement in his physical potential.

"If I can raise it to the level of a Sovereign Artifact, it will be a tremendous help for me to traverse the various planes."

One must know that even among the high and mighty Sovereigns, not many possessed bodies at the level of a Sovereign Artifact.

Liewen's current body was at the level of a rank 6 warrior, which had originally reached his limit, but now, there was room for improvement once again.

On the other side, after Linley finished sculpting "Dream Awakening," he completely emerged from the gloom of his heartbreak and was drinking and eating happily with Yale, George, Reynolds, and the others.

This sculpting session caused Linley's spiritual energy to surge, reaching the level of a rank 7 magus.

After finishing his meal, Linley set off for the Magical Beast Mountain Range to gain experience.

Liewen followed quietly behind him.

According to the system prompt, the next witness event was to witness Linley becoming a Dragonblood Warrior, and the location was in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

The Baruch Clan was the family of the Dragonblood Warriors, one of the Four Ultimate Warriors of the Yulan Continent.

However, not every clansman could become a Dragonblood Warrior; only a very small number of lucky individuals had a bloodline concentration that met the standards of a Dragonblood Warrior.

For those clansmen who did not meet the standard, the only way to become a Dragonblood Warrior was to consume Blue Heart Grass and drink the fresh blood of a dragon.

Linley did not meet the standards of a Dragonblood Warrior, but during his last training session in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, he had found the Blue Heart Grass; it was just that there were many magical beasts in that area, and with his strength at the time, Linley had been unable to harvest it.

This time, with his strength greatly increased, he intended to go again.

Magical Beast Mountain Range, Misty Valley.

This was the place where the Blue Heart Grass grew.

In the Misty Valley lived many magical beasts, such as the rank 6 Earth-Walking Dragon, the rank 6 Double-Winged Pegasus, the rank 7 Thunder-Winged Pegasus, and so on.

Linley was now a rank 7 dual-element magus and also a rank 5 warrior. Relying on his own strength, he carefully avoided these magical beasts and successfully harvested the Blue Heart Grass.

However, in the end, Linley was still discovered by two rank 8 Velociraptors and a group of rank 8 Fire Dragons.

Linley fled into a deep, secluded cave.

Liewen had been following far behind Linley the entire time. His strength was far superior to Linley's current level, so he was not discovered.

As for Doehring Cowart inside the Coiling Dragon Ring, he did not release his spiritual energy to observe his surroundings at every moment; most of the time, he simply stayed inside the Coiling Dragon Ring, and therefore, he did not discover Liewen either.

Furthermore, now that Liewen had comprehended "Draw Heaven and Earth," hiding his presence was even more effortless.

"Draw Heaven and Earth," also known as "Momentum," was a state of being. Besides being used in combat, it had its uses elsewhere as well.

Liewen could now rely on his comprehension of "Momentum" to walk on water without sinking, and when walking on a road, as long as the person in front did not turn their head to look, they would absolutely not feel that there was actually someone behind them.

After Linley fled into the cave, Liewen also arrived in front of the cave.

The two rank 8 Velociraptors and the flock of Fire Dragons in the sky also discovered Liewen.

Two Fire Dragons dove down, taking the lead in launching an attack on Liewen.

Liewen let out a cold snort, drew his longsword, and killed the two Fire Dragons with ease.

He now possessed the strength of a rank 9 warrior, and combined with the state of "Draw Heaven and Earth," dealing with two rank 8 magical beasts was as easy as turning over his hand.

Seeing Liewen's strength, the flock of Fire Dragons in the sky and the two rank 8 Velociraptors dared not attack again.

High-level magical beasts already possessed intelligence no lower than that of humans. Seeing that Liewen was a powerhouse, they quickly fled into the distance.
