Sunan took a sip of his red tea, savored it, and then replied slowly:
"Strictly speaking, Tier Four Legend is the pinnacle of human knights."
Kei furrowed his brows but soon understood, his expression slightly changing.
"Do you an that beyond this level, it transcends the human tier?"
Sunan nodded approvingly and said, "To break through Tier Four Legend to go even higher, there are only two paths."
"The first is to follow the path of semi-elentalization and beco an Elental Knight."
"The second is the path of bloodline fusion, to beco a Bloodline Knight."
Kei’s eyes brightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What’s the difference between these two?"
Sunan explained at length: "Elental Knights will have significantly enhanced control over elental forces. Their semi-elentalized bodies are nearly immune to physical attacks, and their resistance to energy attacks will also be greatly strengthened. They can essentially be seen as an enhanced version of Tier Four Legend Knights."
The biggest difference between Legendary Knights and Great Knights is the awakening of elental forces.
So Elental Knights can be seen as Legendary Knights whose abilities have been fortified in all aspects, possessing a semi-elental body.
"The specific abilities of Bloodline Knights depend on the bloodline they fuse with."
"However, whether Elental Knights or Bloodline Knights, their life forms have fundantally changed and can no longer be considered human."
"Moreover, in terms of lifespan, although Elental Knights and Bloodline Knights are not like Official Wizards, they are not inferior to Level 3 Wizard Apprentices either, with lifespans generally ranging from one hundred and fifty to two hundred years."
Kei listened, eyes shining.
The enhancent of strength is secondary; the key is lifespan.
Who wouldn’t want to live longer?
If one could advance to an Elental Knight or Bloodline Knight, they would gain several decades of life out of thin air, which is the most attractive benefit.
"How can one advance to an Elental Knight or Bloodline Knight?" Kei asked impatiently.
"Biological Transformation," Sunan said.
Neither semi-elentalization nor bloodline fusion can be achieved through re training.
Like Wizard Apprentices, these two thods can only be accomplished through Biological Transformation, in conjunction with potions.
The difference is that transformations for Wizard Apprentices are relatively easier.
Besides having a better understanding of their own bodies, it’s also because the power tier is lower.
For instance, several Wizard Apprentices from the Eternal Life Association, even if semi-elentalized and fused with bloodlines, possess only Tier Three Legend level of power.
But to transform a knight who has reached the pinnacle of mortal knights, a Tier Four Legend Knight, a wizard must intervene.
Moreover, it must be a wizard proficient to a certain level in Biological Transformation technology.
Therefore, in the era of wizards, Elental Knights and Bloodline Knights were basically followers of a particular wizard, or affiliated with a Wizard Influence.
"Then you..."
Kei didn’t finish his sentence, but his aning was clear.
Sunan shook his head: "My Biological Transformation techniques don’t et the standard yet."
To transform into an Elental Knight or Bloodline Knight, the skill of Biological Transformation must at least reach level 5, and he’s currently only at level 4, with more than two-thirds of the progress bar still remaining.
Seeing Kei a bit disappointed, Sunan could only say, "Don’t worry, in about ten years or so, my Biological Transformation technique should et the required standards."
Currently, he often strengthens the flesh and bloodline of the Hidden Dragon and occasionally participates in the implentation of the Sub-dragon Species Bloodline Enhancent Plan. Although the proficiency of Biological Transformation grows slowly, even crawling would reach level 5 in over ten years.
"What’s more, you also need ti to elevate your power to the extre of Tier Four Legend."
Kei thought so too and his face lit up again, then he asked, "Which path do you think is more suitable for ?"
Sunan thought for a mont and said, "Training as an Elental Knight is highly dependent on the environnt. Given the current energy scarcity on the Starlight Continent, Elental Knights face too many limitations. It’s better to choose the path of a Bloodline Knight."
"The Dragon Forest conveniently has many high-tier Sub-dragon Species bloodlines. If you don’t mind, you can select one of them as the bloodline to fuse with in the future."
"What about the Hidden Dragon?"
Kei had seen the Hidden Dragon evolve into a Giant Dragon, and the terrifying sense of oppression left a deep impression on him.
"A Tier Four Legend Knight’s physique cannot withstand the Giant Dragon Bloodline," Sunan spread his hands.
Bloodline fusion is also particular; the stronger the bloodline isn’t the better choice.
Besides the compatibility with one’s own physique, it also depends on the physical strength.
Giant Dragons are creatures comparable to Official Wizards, and Tier Four Legend Knights simply cannot endure the bodily evolution after fusing the bloodline.
Upon hearing this, Kei couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed but quickly regained his spirits.
"Looks like I need to visit the Dragon Forest a few tis."
After discussing the knight advancent matter, Sunan changed the topic to another issue.
"You asked about the Starry Tower before, rember?"
"Of course," Kei nodded.
At that ti, he was puzzled about how Sunan managed to conquer the Starry Tower, but Sunan was vague, and Kei wisely didn’t press further.
"I didn’t tell you then because I was afraid you’d worry too much, but now that the empire is unified, it’s ti to tell you about this."
Sensing the seriousness in Sunan’s tone, Kei showed a solemn expression.
Sunan then briefly recounted the story of the Wizards’ return and the Dark Throne more than seven hundred years later.
After listening, Kei was stunned and lost in thought.
He had heard Sunan ntion the Elental Desert and the wizards’ expedition to the multiverse a thousand years ago, but he didn’t know that those wizards would return to the Starlight Continent over seven hundred years later.
