Li Yi walked forward and said, “I brought the core back!”

Manicco looked at the core in front of him, then solemnly took out a small box from a drawer, and slowly opened the small box. Inside lay a golden token, flickering with a faint golden light.

On the token had an image of a five-clawed dragon, pouncing on the enemy. It looked almost lifelike as if it was yearning to be free from the token.

Manicco looked at the token in front of him with a nostalgic expression.

“Do you know who left this token?”

Li Yi was puzzled and did not know how to answer him. 

What was the commander trying to say? 

Could it be that this thing was passed down through generations?

Manicco immediately explained his answer knowing that Li Yi did not know how to respond.

“Heavy Armored Dragon Knights are extremely rare and powerful, you can’t just volunteer to be a Dragon Rider, you must be chosen to be its owner. No one can change this. Moreover, our Ghana Empire only has two tokens!”

“Only two?”

Manicco nodded.

“Yes! Only two! Only when the previous owner of the token dies will another Heavy Armored Dragon Knight be born at some point. Now, you shall be the other Heavy Armored Dragon Rider of our Ghana Empire!”

“And this one was left behind after the death of the first Holy Emperor Pope. Our family has been guarding it for over a hundred years, and only now have we chosen a new successor!”

Manicco handed the token over after he finished speaking.

Li Yi received the token with open arms. The token immediately began to merge with the Python’s core when he put two and two together. The two items began to tremble crazily. After which, a dazzling golden light shot into the sky, forcing the both of them to shut their eyes from the brightness of it all.

The moment Li Yi closed his eyes, a black aura suddenly shot out from his body and merged with the golden light. Both of them emitted a strange phenomenon!

Manicco stood by the side and looked at the situation in front of him in shock. He did not rush forward to help Li Yi at all.

After a long while, the golden light slowly faded. 

The token that was originally golden now had a strange black stripe wrapped around its surface. The token had merged with the core and it emitted an extremely bright golden light. However, there was also some black aura that surged within the golden light. The two of them were entangled with each other and could no longer be separated!

Li Yi then saw the token slowly shrink and enter his chest. He could clearly feel the token slowly entering the center of his heart and taking root!

[System Notification: You have completed the mission Heavy Armored Dragon Knight. You have successfully taken on the hidden class Heavy Armored Dragon Knight!]

[System Notification: You have taken on the class Heavy Armored Dragon Knight. You have obtained an exclusive SSS-grade innate skill — Dragon Rider’s Glory.]

[Dragon Rider’s Glory (SSS-grade, Stage 1): Strength, Stamina, and Spirit attribute growth value increased by 50%. The Rider’s overall attributes will be increased by 5%. This skill will be upgraded with each class upgrade!]

[System Notification: Successful transition. After leveling up, each level’s free attribute points will be increased from 5 to 10 points. All the attributes of previous levels will be returned!]

Manicco’s expression was solemn. He frowned and said, “You actually have… a magic weapon that you’ve hidden from me. Fortunately, it’s locked! However, this might not be a good sign for your future, it might even cause a backlash on you!”

“Backlash? This backlash won’t affect me too much, right?”

Li Yi was also a little confused by what was mentioned.

‘Won’t it just reduce a bit of my HP, that won’t be a problem for me, would it?’ Li Yi thought to himself. 

“Look at where your heart lays!”

Li Yi took off his armor and revealed his chest. There was a golden lightning symbol etched on his skin above where his heart was.

Below this lightning symbol, there was a ball of slowly squirming black gas. Only a pair of scarlet eyes could be seen within the gas!

“I’m not too sure about the magic weapon either, but I heard that as long as you have a magic weapon, you will turn into a bloodthirsty person. However, with the token to suppress and resist it, it shouldn’t be too big of a deal for you!”

Li Yi silently put on his armor. It seemed that he had underestimated this magic weapon. It seemed that this magic weapon was not as simple as he thought.

“But you don’t have to worry too much. If you feel that you can’t suppress it anymore, the other Heavy Armored Dragon Knight will definitely help you. What you need to do now is to become stronger!”

Li Yi nodded and said, “Okay, I understand!”

“Your strength is relatively weak, and I can’t arrange a mount for you. I guess you can learn these two basic skills that are suitable for your current strength first! Here you go, I look forward to the next time I see you. Your strength better be tenfold what you have today!”

Manicco took out a box and handed it over. Then, he returned to his office and did not bother attending to Li Yi anymore.

When he walked away, Li Yi quickly opened the box. There were two skill books inside, and he immediately checked their attributes.

[ Level 1 Ultimate Eye (passive skill): Possesses unparalleled detection ability. It can detect Stealth, Invisibility, and other skills that are no higher than a level 10 target!]

[ Level 1 Blazing Stab: Infuses fire attribute energy into the weapon, causing 70% additional physical attack damage to the target, with 20% physical attack burn damage per second. Lasts for 10 seconds. Cooldown time is 30 seconds. Consumes 100 MP per use. The highest level is level 10.]

Li Yi nodded his head in satisfaction, especially to the first skill. That skill would definitely be a nightmare for those invisible bosses or players.

Players who learned Invisibility and Stealth were basically Fast-attack Warriors. What they pursued was to have an ultimate attack that dealt damage to others’ weak points, coupled with a Critical Hit to instantly kill people. Even if they could not beat them, they could still run away from the battle were things to go wrong.

When met such fighters, one could not instantly defeat them that easily due to the upper hand of disappearing every moment. Now that Li Yi had this Ultimate Eye skill, once these people start a PvP with him… it will be over for them.

After Li Yi submitted all the missions, he managed to reach level 13. He had gained a total of 65 free attribute points and 3 profession points!

Not all missions could obtain profession points. Such missions were very rare. The majority of profession points that were obtained by players were gained by hunting high-tiered bosses.

Li Yi thought for a while and decided to use it. He had a total of 3 class specialty points and raised his Raging Blood Roar to level 3!

[ Level 3 Raging Blood Roar: Consumes 14% of your maximum HP. Causes 100% physical damage to all living creatures within a 20×20 range. Stuns enemies for 2 seconds! Cooldown time is 40 seconds. The highest level will be level 10!]

This upgrade was not bad at all. The increase in HP consumption meant that the damage was increased by a lot. Most importantly, the range had increased too. When the time came, he would definitely put this skill to good use when fighting monsters.

Li Yi looked at the upgrades in the skill with satisfaction, then he strode out. In the future, when his level increases, he should be able to look for the Knight’s Commander to learn more skills!

Right now, he was only level 13. This level was indeed not enough for him to have a mount. He believed that when this class he newly attained gains a mount, his strength would definitely increase by a lot..
