Chapter 5: Peak Douling Spirit! Destination: Canaan College!
Black Rock City.

A large city located in the eastern province of the Gama Empire.

Compared to Wutan City, Black Rock City is larger in scale, and its huge city walls are built of neatly-arranged pieces of black rock, which is particularly majestic.

Even if we look at the entire Gama Empire, Black Rock City's comprehensive strength ranks among the best.

Jiang Han hired the fastest wildebeest carriage from Wutan City, but it still took him half a month to reach Black Rock City.

After improving his cultivation to the seventh star of the Great Fighting Master, Jiang Han also considered setting his next target as the soul of Yao Lao or the Dou Huang powerhouse Ling Ying who was guarding Xiao Xun'er.

As long as he has a good relationship with Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er, it shouldn't be too difficult.

What he was worried about was whether or not it would cause unnecessary troubles later on if he revealed his cards in front of Yao Lao and Ling Ying.

After all, throughout the history of the continent, no one has ever been able to break through from a Seven-Star Grand Master to above the Dou Emperor in a single hour or even half a day!
So, to be on the safe side, Jiang Han chose Black Rock City based on his memory.

After entering the city, Jiang Han felt the prosperity of Black Rock City.

Even though it was just getting light, the main road was already bustling with people.

From time to time, guards walked by, making the sound of armor colliding, like morning bells.

After asking several breakfast shop owners, Jiang Han turned three streets and four alleys and stopped in front of a majestic building.

The building has a unique exterior shape, like a medicine cauldron, with a huge cauldron lid crawling down from the high roof.

A lavender sandalwood plaque with five ancient characters of "Alchemist Guild" sparkling with dazzling golden light.

"Excuse me, is Master Otto in the union?"

Jiang Han politely walked up to the fully armed guards on both sides of the gate and asked.

"There is an alchemist assessment today, so Master Otto will be here," a guard said.

Jiang Han nodded and thanked them, but just as he was about to enter, two guards reached out to stop him at the same time: "Little brother, not everyone can enter here. You need a letter of introduction from other alchemists." Jiang Han was stunned. He didn't expect there was such a threshold.

After looking around to see if there was anyone else around, Jiang Han took out some gold coins from his arms and quickly stuffed them into the hands of the two guards.

"Brothers, I will also be taking the test in two days, and I want to go in and take a look at the environment in advance."

In the world where Jiang Han lived in his previous life, interpersonal relationships were based on human relationships and social etiquette, and this world should be the same.

as predicted.

The two guards looked at each other, nodded in exchange, and then let them pass at the same time.

"Thank you, brothers." Jiang Han walked in quickly.

It's true that money makes the world go round. If it doesn't go round, just add more.

It’s actually not difficult to chase her, just drive Cullinan.

As you enter the Alchemist Guild, the rich aroma of medicine hits you in the face, making you feel relaxed and happy.

Soon, Jiang Han found the alchemist assessment hall.

At this moment, there were quite a few people gathered in the hall, all of them looking at the assessment area in the center and whispering to each other.

There were sixteen stone platforms in the center, and in front of each platform there was an alchemist fiddling with alchemy equipment.

There are three old men in charge of the assessment at the first seat.

Jiang Han squeezed into the crowd and confirmed through asking the people around him that the old man in the middle was Otto, then his eyes began to fix.

[Host stares continuously for 5 seconds]

[Target locked successfully]

[Progress 1%]

[Progress 5%]

[Progress 10%]

……

As expected, because the gap between the two's cultivation levels is not very large, each progress is about 10 seconds.

[Progress 97%]

[Progress 100%][Host gaze target completed]

It took a little over a quarter of an hour in total.

In order not to attract the attention of everyone in the hall, Jiang Han immediately retreated and left the Alchemist Guild as soon as the stare ended.

As a highly respected person in Black Rock City, Otto noticed Jiang Han's gaze from the beginning, but because he was used to such respectful looks from others, Otto did not think there was anything unusual.

On the street, Jiang Han felt the fighting spirit in his body rising, and he quickly found an empty alley and slipped into it.

It takes years for ordinary people to break through from a Grand Dou Shi to a Dou Ling. Even Xiao Yan, the Son of the Planes, achieved this in one go with the help of the Earth Core Tempering Milk.

As for Jiang Han, just like his previous breakthrough, he did not encounter any bottlenecks.

The brilliant crystal in the cyclone's belly was changing at a visible speed, evolving from a prismatic shape to a sea urchin shape.

When his breath stabilized, Jiang Han checked the system interface information.

Host: Jiang Han

Age: 20
Appearance: Unprecedented

Body shape: Unique

Cultivation: Three Star Douling

Others: Extreme Blade Three Styles

……

Jiang Han carefully felt the realm of Dou Ling, and he found that compared with the great Dou Shi, except that the Dou Qi was more powerful, there was no special essential difference.

A great fighting master can release his fighting spirit and transform it into armor, while a fighting spirit can only further condense it into objects, such as turning fighting spirit into swords or spears.

"Sure enough, there is no extra reward."

Jiang Han chose Alto as his target this time. In addition to ensuring safety and security, he also confirmed one of his guesses.

From a loser to a five-star fighter, he progressed step by step, with only rewards in terms of cultivation.

In the Xiao Mansion, from the five-star fighter to the seven-star master fighter, crossing two major realms, in addition to the improvement of cultivation, the martial arts [Extreme Blade Three Styles] were also rewarded.

This time, from a seven-star Grand Fighter to a three-star Fighting Spirit, only the cultivation level was improved.

Crossing more realms is accompanied by risks, but there will be additional rewards;

The realm you cross is small, you win by playing it safe, and there are no extra rewards.

How to have both fish and bear's paw?

Jiang Han tried hard to recall the people and things in this world and thought about his next goal.

----

A month later.

In the Jia Ma Empire, at the eastern gate of the Guiling Pass, a young man in a black robe walked out slowly.

Leading the wildebeest out of the moat, Jiang Han looked back at the last city on the border of the Gama Empire, then returned to the carriage and disappeared along the map at the end of the avenue.

The destination of his trip was Canaan College, a famous Dou Qi school in the Dou Qi Continent.

Canaan College is located in the Black Horn Region, and the distance between the Gama Empire and the Black Horn Region is extremely vast.

Starting from the border, you have to pass through several small countries before you can reach the edge of the Black Horn region.

If you ride a horse carriage normally, you can usually achieve this in five or six months.

But Jiang Han, with the mentality of experiencing the beauty of the mountains and rivers of the Douqi Continent, played as he walked, and it took him a whole year to arrive.

During this year, he also met several strong people who were stronger than him. He took a steady approach and transformed himself from a three-star Dou Ling to a peak Dou Ling. He was only half a step away from becoming a Dou Wang.

During the journey, Jiang Han saw many fights and killings. There were strong people bullying the weak, bandits slaughtering villagers, and various mercenary groups fighting for their own interests...

Of course, he was just a passer-by and had suppressed his restless heart many times.
