Chapter 197 Fourth Stage
Forest path.

Adam pushed away the branches that were blocking his forehead. He had already embarked on a journey. The beginning of the journey was Zoya Manor, but the end of the journey was still unknown.

Adam sighed as he walked. Although it felt good to speak generously about the magnanimity of a king in front of his teacher, he knew in his heart that he was relying on the power of this deity, and this deity had already helped him once to start his career. Since it was a bet, when one party made a move, the other party would inevitably follow suit, and this move was none other than the Demon King's.

Therefore, what he is about to face is a demon king who is more powerful than the previous one in thousands of years and has been strengthened by the powerful god opposite to him. In response to this, he can only become more powerful.

He unfolded the source text.

Name: Adam Sovis
Race: Terran

Rank: Awakener

Soul quality: Infinite martial arts training, hard work can make up for shortcomings

Source: Weapon Mastery, Undead Barehands, Strong Body, Fighting Fever, Hunting Mark, Weapon Domain...

There are a lot of miscellaneous skills later.

Fighting Frenzy: As the battle time continues and your status declines, your enthusiasm for fighting will stimulate your potential and burst out with more powerful strength.

PS: The weaker you are, the stronger you will be. The stronger you are, the weaker your blood is. So getting weaker = getting stronger. Young man, are you sure you don’t want to learn some blood-suppressing skills to transform into a Hell Blood Demon God?
Hunting Mark: How can you let a powerful prey escape? Leave a mark on it so that you can track it down even if it runs to the ends of the earth.

PS: I'll put a clamp here and see who will step on it...

Weapon Domain: The exclusive domain of the Weapon Master, which grants the ability to bind weapons. When the domain is expanded, the bound weapons will be projected out, causing great damage. The more weapons collected, the stronger the domain will be. The effect will be better when used with the Undead Barehands.

PS: Are you still worried about not having long-range means? The Pirate King's Treasure House is worth having. Why don't you sell everything you have to buy weapons? Hey, you seem to have some strength. Let me think about it. It seems that there is a better way to collect...

There is another entry at the bottom.

Infinite Martial Arts Branch Mission, Twelve Glories (9/12): Weapon Masters are never afraid to challenge powerful enemies. Find him, catch up with him, and kill him! Every kill will sublimate your weapon until you kill all twelve powerful enemies, and you will receive the final gift of glory.

PS: Twelve is a wonderful number. Besides, it has taken you more than ten years to reach the peak. Well, well, you will have what you need. I will speed you up a little. Remember, small cheats do not count as "on" and accelerators do not count as "cheats"!
Ignoring the PS that was only useful for fun, Adam began to plan for his improvement in strength. He was now a fourth-order transcendent, and the fastest way to improve his strength was to reach the fifth order. However, it was too difficult to break through the fifth order directly, so he also needed to become a sublimator and naturally be promoted to the fifth-order transcendent.

Becoming an Ascender requires more than just sufficient magic power. Although Adam's talent is not great, after more than ten years of magic power accumulation and sufficient resource supply, he is almost reaching the basic magic power of a Sublime.

But in addition to the magic foundation, the sublimator also needs to integrate his own profession and skills, and put them into the source fire to be calcined, so that the magic, source fire, and extraordinary profession can be integrated into one and sublime himself.

Adam looked at those skills, and he knew in his heart that he was still in the use stage of most of the things bestowed by these extraordinary professions, and was far from mastering them. This was already the greatest achievement he had achieved with the help of more than ten years of hard teaching and the spirit of diligence. The rest still needed to be honed with time and sweat. Fortunately, his skills would not regress, but only move forward, which saved a lot of effort.

The second method is to complete the Twelve Glories mission as soon as possible. This is a professional mission, and the so-called final glory will definitely add a huge bonus to the profession. But when he was in the Knights, he usually practiced his skills and went looking for powerful monsters during his vacations. He only found nine in ten years. Fortunately, the experience and practice of the Knights no longer had much effect on him. This time he quit the group and traveled, and he also wanted to complete the mission first.

Walking out of the forest path, you can see a small town ahead. Most of the people coming and going are civilians, and there are also a few extraordinary people, not only humans, but also orcs and dwarves, all dressed like adventurers.

If you don't want to do hard work, then hunting monsters is a good choice. The skins, meat, and bones are purchased by special magic organizations, and the empire will also open up some purchasing businesses to form an industrial chain.

Nowadays, monsters and various races in the main plane are rubbing against each other, and sparks are constantly flying. Each race needs the bodies of monsters to make armor and magic devices, but the monsters want the lives of all races. The most fundamental reason is the competition for survival resources and the squeeze of living space.

Adam, a humble outsider, had lived in the First Empire for more than a decade and had become completely shaped by it.

The name of the town is Tongye Town, and the best place to collect intelligence is the tavern. In the center of the town is a tavern called Big Nose Quinby. On the tavern there is a sign in the shape of two large wine glasses colliding, carved out of a painted wooden board. Usually drunkards, idlers and adventurers gather there, and it is also a place that low-level extraordinary people like to go.

As the sound of wind chimes rang, Adam stepped into the tavern in the town center. The tavern was quiet for a moment, then became noisy again, but people's eyes were still on Adam.

The nearly two-meter-tall stature represents a strong physique, the fully armed heavy armor and the extra-large box behind him represent financial strength, and although the mottled sword marks on the heavy armor have been maintained, they can still be seen. It is a symbol of being through many battles, coupled with a majestic aura and imperceptible breath.

"Here comes a powerful person!"

The same thought flashed through everyone's mind, but no one approached or provoked them. Adventurers who didn't know the rules and etiquette wouldn't drink here. Their fate would be to slowly rot in the mud.

"Give me a glass of their specialty drink." Adam said as he sat at the bar.

The tavern owner really had a big nose, and at this moment he was wiping the wine glass with a rag in a very stereotypical way: "Well, my friend, Quinby's barley beer is never diluted with water, and it will definitely remind you of the good times in Tongye Town."

He unscrewed the large wooden barrel behind him and filled a large cup with it: "Friend, would you like some ice?"

Adam nodded, so the boss threw in a few more ice cubes, and the foam of the barley wine rose and was about to overflow.

"Please enjoy it!" The boss put the cup on the table, pushed it to Adam, and then snapped his fingers, "Friends, let's raise our glasses to celebrate Old Quimby for selling another cup of barley wine!"

The pub should be full of regular customers. They all raised their glasses and there were some ghostly howls, making the atmosphere even more lively.

Just as Adam was about to take the glass, a voice came.

"Hello, sir. Sorry to bother you."

The figure sat down next to Adam, laid out a few copper coins and pushed them towards Quimby, "Boss, I'll clear this friend's drink."
