Into the Mortal World

In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. With Hogg leading the way, the group entered the O'Brien Empire without encountering any trouble. Hogg had only just awakened his Dragonblood Warrior bloodline, so he handled every problem they encountered along the way. Though helpless about it, Bolan was happy to take it easy.

Along the way, Bolan used "Momentum" to create the second move of his sword technique, "Sword Two."

If Sword One was the ultimate in speed, then Sword Two was the ultimate in power.

After seeing Hogg and the others into Chiyan City, Bolan left the O'Brien Empire alone and set out on his path of cultivation. Although Bolan had abundant experience fighting magical beasts, he had fought humans far less often. In the few battles he had had, he had simply crushed his opponents through superior realm.

As a result, it was difficult for him to suppress opponents of the same level. As a Dragonblood Warrior who was nearly invincible among those of his level, Bolan was clearly still immature.

With a heart almost devoted to seeking the Dao, Bolan took off the white robe he had worn since childhood and changed into plain gray linen clothes. Carrying two Bloodslayers, he set out on his journey to seek the Dao.

Along the way, Bolan took heaven and earth as his teachers, fought experts from all walks of life, and brought his realm of Momentum into full play.

After parting from Hogg and the others in the O'Brien Empire, no one knew where Bolan had gone. There were only occasional rumors of a newly risen Dragonblood Warrior of extraordinary strength, wielding two blood-red longswords as he continuously challenged Level 9 experts in provincial capitals, never suffering a defeat.

For his first battle, Bolan chose a newly advanced Level 9 warrior. Unfortunately, that warrior's talent was mediocre. He had not even reached the realm of wielding heavy weapons as lightly as a feather. Even without transforming into a Dragonblood Warrior, Bolan defeated him in just three strikes before continuing on his path of cultivation.

In the second month, Bolan fought Heavy Hammer Leituo in a small mountain range for half a day, neither able to determine a victor. Although only a few people witnessed the battle, news of Bolan's strength quickly spread across the Yulan Continent. The Dragonblood Warrior, one of the Four Ultimate Warriors and a legend among legends, had finally emerged.

The battle against Heavy Hammer Leituo was the most exhilarating fight Bolan had experienced since making his name. Every blow of Leituo's heavy hammer seemed to carry the force of the heavens. Bolan was certain that this hammer wielder would soon become a true Saint-level warrior. Leituo's battle qi had already reached the absolute peak of Level 9, and the momentum of heaven and earth he displayed in that battle was even stronger than Bolan's. It even contained a trace of the profound mysteries of the lightning element.

They called it a draw, but Bolan had actually lost. In the clash between his Momentum and the hammer's Momentum, Bolan had fallen into a disadvantage. After all, he had only recently comprehended Momentum, while the hammer wielder had long mastered it to perfection. If Bolan's body had not evolved once more at the final moment, reaching the level of a Level 8 warrior, he would likely have suffered his first defeat.

In the end, he relied on the powerful body of a Dragonblood Warrior and the freakish defense of dragon scales to force a draw with Leituo.

After their battle, the two cherished one another like old friends who had known each other for years. Leituo invited Bolan to visit his home, and Bolan naturally did not refuse. He followed Leituo home and enjoyed a lavish dinner.

After dinner, the two talked through the entire night, discussing everything under the heavens. Most of the time, Leituo spoke while Bolan listened attentively. Since Bolan still intended to travel the continent, it was not a bad thing to hear more secrets and interesting tales from across the land.

When Bolan told Leituo his age, even though Leituo had already guessed somewhat, he could not help but shout, "Monster!" as he looked at Bolan's still-youthful face.

After staying at Leituo's home for two days, Bolan announced that he would be taking his leave. Despite Leituo's reluctant expression, Bolan still carried his two Bloodslayers and continued down his path of seeking the Dao.

In the third month, Bolan fought a bandit leader. Although the leader was also Level 9, the gap between their realms was far too great. With only one strike, Sword Two, Bolan beheaded the leader, then slaughtered every bandit in the entire mountain range. He gained quite a bit of gold, silver, and treasure. Because they had slain too many people, the Bloodslayers in his hands faintly emitted a red glow, and their power had grown even stronger.

In the fifth month, Bolan fought his first Level 9 Arch Magus. He never managed to close the distance throughout the entire battle. Though the magic did not injure Bolan either, it was also the most frustrating battle he had ever fought.

Rumors throughout the continent of a battle-crazed Dragonblood Warrior grew ever more intense!
