As Abel rode his horse carriage towards the magic tower, even the driver of the carriage could tell that he was in a good mood today. Abel's brother Zach was getting married at Bennett's Castle.
On the carriage, Abel was reading Morton's observation record carefully. He had already learned a lot of useful information from the record, and whenever he had time, he would've taken it out to read it. Due to his power of the will, his memories were able to increase drastically, but in order to secure those memories, he still needed to read a few times before he was able to memorize those clearly.
As the carriage departed off the main road outside of Bakong City and headed towards the mountain roads. Abel's power of will suddenly sensed a threat that surrounded him. It was like being stared at by a viper.
"Stop the carriage!" Shouted Abel as he opened the door and immediately jumped out.
"What's the matter, my Lord?" Asked the driver, looking at Abel strangely.

"We will call it a day, head back first." Abel did not explain his intentions but instead told the driver to leave.
"Yes, my Lord." Without saying anything else, the driver turned the carriage around and returned back to Bakong City.
Abel, however, did not move. His power of the will was now in full swing, as though as he would be attacked by a thunderstorm if he moved a single bit.
"Master Abel, it was not easy to find you!" Said a strange voice coming from somewhere.
Abel turned and looked in the direction of the voice. It was a wolf rider he knew very well. This was the heart of the human world, which other worgen could it be? Especially when that worgen was wolf rider captain.
Yes, it was wolf rider captain of Flaurling. Due to the missing treasure of the wolf clan, he was blamed by the heads of the wolf clan, but since wolf rider captain of Flaurling was located in the human world, it was very hard to capture him unless a head wolf rider captain was sent out. However, it would be very risky for a head wolf rider captain to enter the human world
If anything had happened to the head wolf rider captain here in the human world, then the power of the Wolf clan would be greatly weakened. Hence, no head of the wolf clan would ever give out such an order. Furthermore, no head wolf rider captain would dare risk their lives to undertake such a risky mission.

Therefore, despite that wolf rider captain of Flaurling had lost the most important treasure of the wolf clan, and this angered the heads of the wolf clan, he was only asked to complete a mission to redeem himself. That mission was to assassinate the killer of Woolf family's 6th son Fowler, who was the human race's most potential blacksmith master, Abel
If wolf rider captain of Flaurling wanted to return to the Orc empire, then he would have to accept the Wolf clan's arrangements to assassinate Abel. Otherwise, he would have to spend the rest of his life adrift and would never be able to return to the orc empire.
If wolf rider captain of Flaurling didn't lose the resources in the first place, he would be successfully promoted to a head wolf rider captain. Then nothing would matter at that point. He would be able to return to the Orc's Empire anytime he wanted. Not only no one would stop him, but they would've also given him a warm welcome to due to his prestigious title.
But now that wolf rider captain of Flaurling had lost all of the resources, with all of the treasures that would promote him being all stolen. All he had left was the armor on his body and his weapon.
With no other options left, the only thing wolf rider of Flaurling could do was to follow the orders of the Wolf clan and assassinate Abel. But assassinating a blacksmith master in the human world wasn't easy at all, especially since the master blacksmith resided in a capital city.
In order to acquire details on Abel's daily movements, the Wolf clan used all kinds of connection they had in the human world, purchasing intel from humans that they have traded with before. With the help of these traitors, they have finally found out that Abel was heading to the magic tower by himself every day. As Abel becoming a wizard disciple was extremely secretive, only a few people knew about it other than the royals, with ordinary citizens only knowing that Abel was living in Bakong City.
The Wolf clan was well aware that if they had to kill Abel before becoming a formal wizard. Otherwise, if they want to kill him in the future, it would cost them a lot of their resources. Hence, the news of Abel was quickly passed onto the wolf rider of Flaurling as they wanted him to assassinate Abel immediately.

Under these circumstances, wolf rider captain of Flaurling decided to ambush along Abel's route to the magic tower. Originally he was planning to kill Abel by surprise, but he was not expecting his power of the will to be this sensitive.
"Wolf rider, you shouldn't have come into the human world!" Said Abel quietly, pretending that he didn't know who wolf rider captain of Flaurling was.
"Master Abel, you know why I'm looking for you!" Said wolf rider captain of Flaurling assuredly.
"Why?" Abel had offended the wolf clan so much that he didn't even realize for a moment which of event wolf rider captain of Flaurling was talking about.
"The great Woolf family were furious that you have killed their sixth son, Fowler. That's why they have ordered me to come here and take your life!"Wolf rider captain of Flaurling said to Abel with a ferocious face.
"Great? Abel scoffed. "Aren't you afraid that your beast gods will blame you for describing the Woolf family as great?"
The word "great" wasn't an adjective that was used casually in this world. They were normally only used to describe the most powerful king in the most powerful kingdom, or the legendary spirits and gods that possessed immense power

To wolf riders, the Woolf family was considered as the royals of the wolf riders as it was a part of the spirit of the wolf rider. Hence, wolf rider addressed the Woolf family as "great."
Wolf rider captain of Flaurling wondered why Abel was still able to face him so calmly. The feeling of being ignored irritated him so much that a powerful force came from within his body as he rushed directly towards him.
Abel's clothes were freely waving around In mid-air. With wolf rider captain of Flaurling 's immensely powerful yet invisible impose pressure, small leaves and dust were picked up from the ground and blew directly towards Abel. However, it formed a circular defense shield and scattered towards the side not far in front of Abel.
The golden combat qi of Abel had allowed him almost to impose pressure from the wolf rider captain. But this impose pressure was much stronger than any other knight he had ever met, from Viscount Dickens, Commander Lowell to Commander Hopkins, and even the vice-captain to the Duchy' s Royal defense force, commander Lowell's impose pressure was no were as close as this wolf rider captain.
Abel's emotion began to look grim as this was the most powerful opponent he had ever faced, and since the wolf riders were naturally a fighting race. It meant that they would be much stronger than an ordinary human at the same level.
Abel then placed his hands into the portal bag at his waist, as an ice magic sword and magic shield promptly appeared on both of his hands.
A Portal bag?" As wolf rider of Flaurling was still puzzled about how could this intermediate knight in front of him would withstand the impose pressure. He noticed Abel also had a Portal bag. In a split of a moment, he almost thought Abel had stolen his spirit portal bag. However, he quickly changed his mind after he saw the portal bag was on Abel's waist.
"Your teacher endorses you so much that he will give you a portal bag, but it will soon be mine." Said wolf rider captain of Flaurling, eyes were full of greed. However, his human language sounded terrible.

Little did wolf rider captain of Flaurling know, the idea he had just disregarded was actually the truth.
"Too bad I'm not interested in what you have on you!" Abel glanced over at wolf rider captain of Flaurling, who had come here without a mount wolf. Since he was in the center of the human civilization, all he had on him was a battle-ax while wearing a piece of armor.
These seemingly unintentional words by Abel struck the soft spot where the Wolf rider captain was penniless. When he had heard Abel's words, it immediately gave a war cry and charged directly towards Abel with his battle-ax.
Halfway through the charge of the wolf rider, a white outpouring of combat qi from the wolf rider captain of Flaurling suddenly increased the power of the ax, and the air seemed to freeze with its combat qi.
The wolf rider captain was so fast that within split seconds, the ax was already in front of Abel's face. Luckily, Abel had been watching out for his attack and avoided it early.
Abel swung his shield in front of him. The golden combat qi surrounded the shield, as the battle-ax flew towards it. "Dong!" Abel lightly twisted his body, and wolf rider captain of Flaurling had been knocked back by a step from the rebound.
Wolf rider captain of Flaurling 's eyes was filled with disbelief. He was about to be promoted to a head wolf rider captain, which was supposed to possess the top class of fighting power. But now, he was repelled by an intermediate knight.
And Abel knew very well that in the first block because the shield had the ability to absorb physical impact. The two weren't actually too different in terms of strength, and this was the first time Abel had ever seen an opponent with a similar strength with him.

When wolf rider captain of Flaurling was retreating, Abel screamed, "Knight Acceleration." This was a secret technique of the Bennett family. Although he rarely had the chance to use it, it was useful to sacrifice his combat qi for speed when facing a much faster and flexible worgen. With the use of this secret technique, Abel's body immediately felt lighter as his pace had instantly doubled. However, using this technique had consumed 1/10 of his combat qi within his body. This was a substantial amount as Abel's combat qi store was a few times larger than an ordinary knight. This meant if an ordinary knight ere to use this technique, it would have consumed half of the combat qi that was on their body.
With the increasing speed of his acceleration, Abel waved his ice magic sword and prepared the standard knight's melee tactics. Abel continuously sliced, stir, stab and wipe, but the wolf rider of Flaurling was very experienced with these knight tactics. The opportunity was lost the moment he retreated. Afterward, The wolf rider captain used its battle-ax to constantly repel Abel's attacks one by one while continuing to retreat slowly.
"Golden combat qi and holy combat qi seems like it can't help you," shouted wolf rider captain of Flaurling, as he slowly drew back. At that moment, his battle-ax was already covered entirely with frost.
As the two weapons collided with one another multiple times, the frost on the ice magic sword had finally burst out, as wolf rider captain of Flaurling's body was covered entirely with frost. When Abel was about advance his attacks, wolf rider captain of Flaurling gave a loud howl, and a full body of combat qi armor emerged in a flash, sending all the frost flying out of his body.
At that moment, wolf rider captain Woolf finally understood why an intermediate knight like Abel was able to compete with him in terms of strength. Other than Abel's massive power, he also had something known as "holy combat qi," which would allow him to attain 4x the combat qi he had. Throughout history, anyone with this kind of golden combat qi could often hold battle with an opponent who was a rank above them, and those who could hold a struggle with an opponent who was two ranks above them was indeed a rare gem.

Followed by wolf rider captain of Flaurling's second howl, his combat qi suddenly extended outward, like a whip that was striking towards Abel.
It seemed that wolf rider captain of Flaurling had never used up all of his strength since the beginning of the battle. This was because the iconic combat qi armor and the combat qi aggression of the wolf rider weren't used until now. However, with the appearance of the combat qi armor and the combat qi whip, now it seemed that wolf rider captain of Flaurling was using all of his might to engage in this battle against Abel.
The combat qi whip was very agile and flexible. Even if Abel was using his "Knight acceleration" ability, he was still unable to dodge some of the sharp attacks from the combat qi whip. With the current situation on his hands, it seemed that the only way Abel could win this battle was if he had used magic spells. But Abel's mana inside him wasn't filled up, as his mana was only enough for him to cast two times of "Ice armor" and "Firebomb" before running out of mana.
Abel was blaming himself to the heart for not refilling of his mana before departing the city, Abel knew he had to use magic now, but how could he defeat his opponent with the amount of mana he had.
"Elves of the ice! Use your divine power, weave pure white armor, and protect me!" As Abel chanted the 'frozen armor' spell and drew the pattern of the spell in the air with his ice magic sword. After a second and a half, armor made of ice crystals had appeared on Abel's body.
As soon as the captain of Flaurling heard Abel casting a spell, he was stunned. He knew that the blacksmith master in front of him had only been inside the magic tower for four months. So how was he able to use magic already?
Wolf rider captain of Flaurling's sudden shock gave Abel time to finish up his magic spell. Now with the protection of the ice armor, the combat qi whip would not cause any damage to Abel until the armor has fully shattered.

As Abel completely ignored his defenses, he began to attack wolf rider captain of Flaurling with all of his might. Without mercy, Abel continuously cuts through the air from time to time with his magic sword. For captain Woolf, he was also very confident in his combat qi armor. Like Abel, he ignored his defenses and even attacked with his full might.
The two masters were fighting like barbarians.
The majestic forms and techniques from the start had disappeared entirely, and replaced with an even more vicious and dangerous head-on head battle. The sounds of clashing filled the battlefield. It was the sound to wolf rider captain of Flaurling combat qi whip striking upon Abel's 'frozen armor.' The sound of 'shi.. shi" could also be heard, which was the sound of Abel's ice magic sword colliding with wolf rider captain of Flaurling's combat qi armour. The frost continued to engulf the body of wolf rider captain of Flaurling. However, it was soon harshly expelled by his combat qi armor.
By this time, wolf rider captain of Flaurling was no longer dared to attack Abel's 'frozen armor with his weapon directly. He knew the spell quite well, and if he did attack the helmet, he would've been frozen regardless of his combat qi armor. This was one of the reasons that made these wizards terrifying to face.
After more than a minute of this unaesthetic fighting, Abel felt his ice armor was beginning to crumble, so he quickly backed away. As he did so, he swung his ice magic sword in front of him, and his mouth began chanting, "The spirit of ice! Use your divine power, weave pure white armor, protect me!"
How could wolf rider captain of Flaurling miss such an excellent opportunity to allow time for Abel to cast his "Frozen Armour" spell again? Although it took Abel 1.5 seconds to throw the "Ice armor" spell, in Elite level battles like these, 0.5 seconds was already considered as a very long time.
Wolf rider captain Woolf then began to rush forward, closing in on Abel with all his might. His combat qi whip increased the intensity of his attacks, trying to disrupt Abel from casting his second "frozen armor" spell.

Abel had put so much effort in front of him. Wasn't it because that he wanted to keep wolf rider captain of Flaurling at a close distance?
The ice magic sword stopped in the air, and so did the spell Abel had spoken, all of which indicated that the spell 'frozen armor' had been successfully interrupted by wolf rider captain of Flaurling.
Wolf rider captain of Flaurling was relieved, without the protection of the 'Ice armor," it would be difficult for Abel to withstand his whip attacks. Even if he had stepped up to his melee attacks, there would be no chance for Abel to cast his spells again.
At the moment when the wolf rider captain of Flaurling began to be more relaxed, a complete picture flashed out in front of the ice magic sword in Abel's hand. It looked as if it had been printed directly in the air. Then the picture turned into a fireball and flew straight towards captain Woolf.
When the unsuspecting wolf rider captain of Flaurling saw the fireball coming at him, he was shocked. This casting speed was too instantaneous to even think about it, and now it was too late to avoid it.
If it were a typical "Firebomb" spell, it wouldn't have been able to smash open a wolf rider's combat qi armor. But Abel's "Firebomb" was no ordinary spell. It was already an Elite level 7's 'Firebomb' spell. Captain had underestimated its' power as the firebomb tore apart his combat qi armor like a piece of thin paper.
Abel had witnessed the power of his 'firebomb' many times in the Rogue encampment, but only to those creatures from hell with scary defensive power. After wolf rider captain of Flaurling's combat qi armor had been torn in front of him, the 'firebomb' penetrate his body immediately. In a sound of "bang," wolf rider captain of Flaurling had been sent flying.

Abel did not stop there, as he cast a second fireball that followed the flying body of the captain Woolf and struck him again in the air.
Abel was not confident to attack a wolf rider captain in the mid-range. No matter if it's the 'firebomb' or other spells, it required a bit of time to draw the magic pattern in order to be executed. Worgens were natural very speedy. If Abel had used the 'firebomb' from the start, it could easily be dodged by wolf rider captain of Flaurling. Therefore, Abel tried to get the captain of Flaurling to some long-distance attack first, and only burn him to death when he got exhausted.
Of course, this was only because Abel's rank was too low. If he were an official wizard, he would be able to lock in his power of the will, which would make his opponent very difficult to escape the spell, no matter how fast they were.
As wolf rider captain of Flaurling fell onto the ground from the air with a "Bang" sound, Abel felt as if the wolf rider was a candle in the wind, on his last gasp.
"If I had my mount wolf around, It wouldn't have ended like this!" Came the faint voice of wolf rider captain of Flaurling.

Still not dead? Abel couldn't help but marvel at the surviving ability of these worgens. If the same thing happened to a human, they would've died a few times already.
"So what if you have amount wolf, you know I have one too." Said Abel softly, crouching down as he looked at captain Flaurling, who had lost all of his strength.
"You… The Woolf family won't let this slip." Cried captain Flaurling, struggling with his last effort.
"Do you think you're going to die so easily?" There was a glimmer of greed in Abel's eyes, and his voice was flat.
"You?" There was a trace of doubt in the captain Flaurling' s slightly distracted eyes.

The answer that captain Flaurling got was Abel's hand. Before he knew, one of Abel's hands caught him by the neck, and the golden combat qi flashed with a great suction that stirred the combat qi in the body of captain Flaurling
Captain Flaurling was very close to the top status Wolf rider captain. The network of the meridian between his ten qi pressuring points was tightly netted. That's why he was able to unleash a combat qi armor, but now, his tightly netted meridian network had become his nightmare.
Abel grabbed his neck with a hand full of golden combat qi. The few meridians that had been seized suddenly became the passage for expelling combat qi out of his body. Through an enormous suction force, captain Flaurling's qi rushed towards the body of Abel, like massive waves in the ocean.
Abel had a lot of experience when it came to this. He used his Knight's breathing technique to surround the combat qi that rushed towards him with his golden combat qi. This balanced the external combat qi with his golden combat qi, allowing them to be fully incorporated. Captain Flaurling had way too much combat qi for Abel to take in, and a swirl began to emerge from the left sole of Abel. After Abel's body had balanced captain Flaurling's combat qi, suddenly, they all had a place to go. A large amount of combat rushed towards the swirl on Abel's sole.
The swirl on his sole had been completed. It began to glow. Now, Abel was promoted to a rank 13 knight, with the processing take no more than a minute. This speed was much quicker than he Abel was absorbing an Elite knight's combat qi in the past. This was because their combat qi was nowhere near as concentrated or superior as a wolf rider captain like Captain Flaurling. Hence, captain Flaurling's combat qi could transfer into Abel's golden combat qi was much faster. Simple!
Next came the replenishment of the combat qi for the qi pressuring point, which was no longer replenishment, but directly into the air pockets. For a rank 13 knight, the inventory of air pockets required was able to be quickly replenished.
Abel did not stop there, because, at this stage, he was already too late to stop. When captain Flaurling realized that his combat qi was being transferred to Abel's body, although he didn't know what was going on, he couldn't do anything to halt the progress. But for some reason, he was able even to speed up this process.

As captain Flaurling felt that he was about to die, he crossed his heart. He decided to give it all he got and viciously push all his combat qi into Abel's body. Abel then immediately felt a difference in the changing of the combat qi, but he had focused all of his attention on increasing his rank. This meant he wasn't able to stop what captain Flaurling was doing. He locked his hand tightly on the neck of captain Flaurling, there were only a few meridians there, and their rate of transfer still has a limit.
If Abe had been holding on to the qi pressuring point on the top of captain Flaurling's head, he would have been in great danger, as the concentration of combat qi might have blown him up.
Abel, with his experience of successive increasing his rank, quickly converted the incoming combat qi into his own and guided the combat qi into the center of his right foot to form a fourth swirl.
With the formation of the fourth swirl, his right sole began to glow, Abel had been rapidly promoted to the rank of 14th Knight, and the fourth cyclone had been replenished faster than ever before.
"You devil!" Captain Flaurling struggled to utter his words. He couldn't do anything about what Abel was doing to him as he was in his wit's end.
Abel couldn't believe what captain Flaurling was saying, as he began to laugh. Abel knew that the creatures of hell that he had killed were nothing compared to this; those were the real devils. With the soul those devils already being eaten by Abel, he thought what captain Flaurling said was an understatement.
The 5th swirl began to form on the top of Abel's head. He used all his force to control the combat qi that had been rushed in. This was because this swirl was the most dangerous swirl of them all. If he was not careful when opening it, it would damage his skull very easily. Luckily captain Flaurling had given up his last bit of will to battle with Abel at the right time. He was no longer using all his might to rush his combat qi on to Abel as he realized was trivial. But little did he know, what he thought was a small struggle gave Abel a hard time.

Since captain Flaurling was no longer interrupting Abel. He was able to control the combat qi with all his might to open up the swirl overhead on his head. Although he had already used all his strength to slow down the speed of the combat qi, it still only took him around a minute until the swirl was completed.Read the next chapter on our vipnovel.com
After this, Abel was probably the quickest Knight within the Holy Continent to increase his rank. He also grabbed captain Flaurling on the perfect spot of his neck, limiting the speed and amount of combat qi that can rush out. This unintentional move was complete.
Abel didn't think much when he used his hands to grab captain Flaurling with his hands. He only grabbed captain Flaurling by the neck, as he felt that normally worgens had a much stronger and taller built than human, so the neck was the most convenient spot.
There was a flash of white combat qi glowing above Abel's head, and just like that, he had become a rank 15 knight. This was followed by a great deal of transformed combat qi, which began to fill the qi pressuring point. They rushed in and rushed in, soon the last wi press point was filled completely.
Now Abel could finally call himself as an Elite knight. His next procedure was to strengthen and tighten the network of the meridian between his ten qi pressuring points to his core. Since all the meridians between the qi pressuring points and the core needed to be strengthened into a wall of tube by the Knight's breathing method, it would consume a lot of combat qi.
But what was happening was that there was so much combat qi going on in Abel's body, it largely exceeded the capacity of his meridian. Therefore, there was only one job left, which was to construct it.
At this time, Abel's power of the will suddenly displayed its powerful effects. Originally, the most difficult thing for an intermediate knight to be promoted to a senior knight was to control the formation of the meridian in their bodies perfectly. However, it was Abel's strength with the current situation. His power of the will was able to accurately assist him in controlling the transformation of combat qi and the construction of the meridians.

Abel decided to connect the qi pressuring point on his right palm to his core for his first meridian. If it was successfully constructed, he could unleash a combat qi whip like captain Flaurling had just done. Although it might have the power or the sustainability of captain Flaurling, it was still an off body combat qi attack nevertheless.
Although the knight breathing method was simple, and it was also the most basic training method for all knights. After the transformation of the knight breathing method, the combat air would be squeezed many times to form a passage, and the passage gets longer and longer as more and more combat qi was invested.
If you were a regular Elite knight, this process might take years or even decades to build up the combat qi required. This was accompanied by countless of practice trying to control the combat qi, but for Abel, he was constructing it with ease.
However, now Abel ran into a problem. Both his father, the Knight of Bennett, or his stepfather, the Lord of Marshall, were only intermediate knights. Although they knew about how to become an elite knight, they only knew the rough process. Therefore, if he really wanted to increase his rank, he still needed to seek the experience of his ancestors from his heritage collection. At fright, both knights thought that Abel still had a long way until he could become an elite knight. They had only roughly told him about it, and never gave any detailed explanation, so why even bother telling him about their ancestor's experience
Until now, when Abel was constructing the meridian connecting his qi pressuring point to his core, he realized there was no experience he could draw from to tell him where he should direct his meridian to connect his qi pressuring point to his core. He didn't want to risk it. It was not like building a house. There was no return once he messed it up.

Abel felt like he had no idea what to do. His power of the will unintentionally began to scan over the body of Wolf rider captain of Flauring. He suddenly felt lifted in his heart. He thought to himself, I'm stupid. There's a real-life model right here.
It never occurred to captain Flauring in a thousand years that he had not only provided the combat qi for Abel to increase his rank but also provided him with the path template. Now all Abel had to do was follow this template to construct his meridians until he eventually reached the rank of a commander of the knights. There was no need to do any research himself.
When it came to the prestigious rank of a commander, neither the Bennett family nor the Harry family of Harvest City had a Knight of this title within their family. Now, captain Flauring's defeat had somehow assisted Abel in completing this missing part of their family's inheritance. Not to mention, it was also presented to him in a very specific way.
The first combat qi meridian followed the pattern in the body of Lord flower and extended from the core to the qi pressuring point the palm of his right hand. This was a very delicate job, similar to an architect directing the combat qi to work properly. Every time the path of the meridian was compressed, it will slowly form its shape and grew longer.
Abel copied the model of captain Flauring and began to extend his meridian from his core to his palm. Abel felt a tremble within his body, and a feeling of warmth spread through his entire body. It was like his body was being massaged by countless hands. Moreover, his power of will was also affected by this warmth too. This was a feeling that occurred on knights who had been promoted from an intermediate knight to an Elite knight. However, this kind of energy felt different when compared to increasing rank as an official knight, since this kind of energy only has a small impact on the body but was also considered as a crucial factor in increasing rank.

Starting from Elite knights, they were basically impossible to be assassinated as these knights possessed an incomparable awareness. In case of any danger, these Elite knights were able to react much quicker than intermediate knights. Furthermore, Elite knights possessed the ability to impose pressure. Although their impose pressure might still be considered not as powerful, impose pressure was the most iconic thing about an elite knight. These two abilities were the main changes that would happen to a knight when they became an elite knight.
And as the level increased, so would the two abilities.
Obviously, the ability to be able to sense danger didn't mean everything. For example, during the battle between Abel and the wolf rider captain Flauring, Abel's murderous desire had never disappeared. Captain Flauring must've also felt this sense of murderous desire too. When Abel was throwing his "Firebomb" towards captain Flauring, Flauring's sense didn't notify him immediately as he was already in danger of Abel's attack throughout the entire battle.
At this time, the combat qi flowing from captain Flouring's body wasn't reduced. Now, all Abel can do is wake up quickly through the leveling up energy, then build a second pulse channel.
For the second pulse channel, Abel chose the air pocket in the palm of his left hand to connect with the core of the qi, which was another complicated procedure to complete. The gas tube in the body was then extended little by little with a sufficient supply of combat qi. The procedure was completed very quickly.
After the core was connected to the qi pressuring point in the palm of the left hand, Abel was now officially a rank 16 Elite knight.
Just as Abel had learned from the experience of the two Elite knights, and had thought that there wouldn't much combat qi left in Flouring's body, he realized that his combat qi wasn't abating, but instead, it was constantly flowing more and more into his body

Abel didn't really know why this wolf rider had such a tremendous flow of combat qi. But wolf rider captain of Flouring was actually a very famous fighting monster. He was promoted to a wolf rider captain at a young age, and he was also the most probable wolf rider to be promoted to a head wolf rider captain within the wolf clan. After many years of practice, he was so close to the highest rank. Making his combat qi storage comparable to a head commander.
The third meridian, the fourth meridian, the fifth meridian, the sixth meridian, it was not until the sixth meridian was successfully constructed that the combat qi from the body of the captain Flouring began to weaken. By that time, Abel had already become a rank 18 Elite knight.
After the last bit of the combat qi was inhaled by Abel, the energy that supported his life had slowly disappeared, as captain Flouring spat out the last breath of his life. His eyes filled with despair as he left this world. He was sacrificed for a 14-year-old to become a rank 18 Elite knight.
Abe opened his eyes and looked at the dead wolf rider of Flauring in his hands. It was the hardest battle he had ever fought. The enemy died in his hands, and he gained a lot from them.
After waiting for a while, Abel didn't seem to notice the Horadric cube absorbing the spirit of the dead captain. In another sense, the Holy Continent, he could hardly see the shadow of the departed spirit, let alone by the Horadric cube.
The Horadric cube, Abel thought, maybe it absorbed only the souls of the infernal creatures of Diablo, souls that were not meant to exist.
Suddenly a horrible thought came to Abel's mind.

If heaven's challenger had arrived at the world of Diablo to challenge in the past, how could they kill that many creatures from hell outside the Rogue encampment? Through both the video game of his last life, or from Akara's message, Abel could clearly felt there were too many creatures from hell lurking around the Rogue encampment.
Abel had a theory and felt that it was infinitely close to reality. He thought that all human souls killed in the dark world do not leave that world but were eroded by the energies of hell and transformed into creatures of hell.
This gave Abel a chill. Perhaps he would face an endless sea of creatures from hell in Diablo. Abel then thought of the shipwreck monsters from the red sea. It reminded him of the long-range attack formation of the hand-furred mice.
A sound "Shua" came from somewhere, then suddenly, a figure appeared on the side of Abel. Abel, who was thinking deeply at the time was suddenly surprised, as he waited to see clearly, he hurriedly ran forward and saluted, "Teacher!"
"Abel, are you all right?" Wizard Morton looked at the dead body on Abel's hands and said, "This morning, I sensed the energy of something near the top of the hierarchy. I thought it was a commander. After a while, I realized that you were still not at the tower, so I came out to look for you. But it seems like you've already taken care of it."
"Teacher, this a wolf rider captain. Luckily I had the help of magic spells. Otherwise, it would've been extremely difficult to defeat him," Abel said while looking at the body on his hand.
"Wait, I think I know this wolf rider." Wizard Morton then examined the corpse of captain Flauring carefully, he then looked at Abel with a surprised look and said, "This is Flauring. He is wanted in the Duchy of Carmel, Duchy of Thunder, Duchy of Koror, and the Duchy of Laka. He is the most cunning Wolf rider in the entire orc empire and is very powerful too. He is almost as strong as a head commander. I can't believe you killed him."

Abel touched his head in embarrassment and said, "He was careless. He didn't think I was able to cast magic spells. Because of that, he was hit by my Firebomb due to his carelessness."
"Haha, anyways, he did die in your hands. Alright, hand me the body, I will take care of it and don't worry, you will get the benefits you deserve. But now, let's first return to the magic tower." Said Morton, laughing, and taking the body from Abel, as he seized his arm with the other.
The scene in front of Abel made his eyes moved. In the speed of a hurricane, he had moved a few hundred meters. The scenery moved chaotically again, as they traveled another hundred meters like a hurricane. Just like that, Abel had been brought back by Wizard Morton through his move in a flash. One moment Abel was caught in dizziness from the teleportation, and one moment he recovered. Luckily he had a strong body and did not faint. Until he had reached the front gate, he had slowly gotten used to the dizziness brought on by teleportation.

"Not bad, Abel. When Carlos and I teleported, he was always screaming. He had even threw up one time. You're doing much better than him." When wizard Morton stopped talking, the shadow the two had reached level 1 of the magic tower.
"Teacher, I am not as bad as you described me, am I?" Carlos said, who was standing next to Camille on the first floor of the tower, looked resentfully at wizard Morton.
"Why don't you come over and I will teleport you around?" Wizard Morton said gently, glancing at Carlos.
Carlos shrank back. He became silent as if he didn't dare to speak again.
"Teacher, Abel, what's the matter?" Camille asked, looking at the wolf rider's corpse in wizard Morton's hands.

"What else can it be? A wolf rider almost assassinated my disciple. It seems like people are people who are willing to assist these wolf riders." Sneered Morton.
Abel saw that Camille and Carlos were genuinely concerned about him and were waiting for his news. He was immediately moved, but he said with a smile of indifference, "Camille and Carlos, it's nothing much. It was only a suicidal wolf rider that wanted to assassinate me."
"Yeah sure, does this wolf rider seemed suicidal to you? This is wolf rider captain of Flaurling. Many Duchies are trying to hunt down this cunning bastard, and he still lived a good life." Said Wizard Morton, giving Abel a sharp look.
Abel didn't dare to say anything more. He then turned to Camille and Carlos with a furtive expression of resignation.
"Come up with me! The Morton wizard put his hand on Abel, and they disappeared into the first floor of the tower.
"Here's your cut!" Said Morton, throwing Abel a little bag.
Abel, who had reached the eleventh floor by wizard Morton's teleportation, had only just come to his senses when he saw the pocket thrown to him by the wizard Morton. He then quickly grabbed the small bag with his hand and asked curiously, "What's this little bag?"

With that, Abel opened the little bag that was on his hand. The bag was filled with beautiful magic gems, six fire gems, and four ice gems.
"It's Black's, the dark wizard from the Duchy of Keyen you've killed. I went to his tower overnight and took his valuables!"
The voice of the Morton wizard was very plain, but Abel was very frightened. Of course, he could understand what it meant to be purged by an intermediate wizard. Was an intermediate wizard really that powerful? So strong that it could kill off all the wizards from another rank 7 wizard's magic tower.
Seeing Abel's surprised look on his face, wizard Morton smiled and explained, "You already killed the leader of that magic tower, and I had their control card, so it would be a huge joke if we still failed despite all of this. However, I still needed to be quick. Luckily the intermediate wizard guarding Duchy of Keyen only arrived after I took everything. He might not even remember who I am."
Wizard Morton then laughed and pointed to the little bag on Abel's hand. "This time, I will divide it for you in the form of magic gems, the ten intermediate magic gems ni this bag is your cut."
"Thank you, teacher! Though Abel was not interested in the intermediate magic gems, he was grateful for it.
"Any questions about the 'frozen armor' spell I taught you yesterday?" Asked the wizard, concerned.

"Teacher, I do not have any questions. I already understand the fundamentals of it!" Abel said confidently.
Wizard Morton then asked shockingly, "Alright, cast the spell for me." As he couldn't believe that Abel had already mastered the spell "Frozen armor."
"Spirit of the ice! Use your divine power, weave pure white armor, protect me!" A second and a half later, armor made of ice crystals appeared on Abel's body.
"A second and a half!" Morton was surprised to see Abel's performance, and his imagination was overturned. When he first saw Abel cast the spell 'firebomb,' his first thought was that Abel must have acquired some sort of quick-casting treasure.
These quick-casting treasures were very rare and valuable, but they had many drawbacks. For example, the caster was only able to cast only one spell quickly, and they were also limited by the number of spells that could be cast. If the caster had run out of spells, they would have to use their mana to recharge, which was quite time-consuming.
But now Abel had used the full spell and had demonstrated the full process of chanting the "Frozen Armour" in the air. Although he was fast, with wizard Morton being able to see it clearly, he could tell that there were no tools that assisted Abel in casting his spells.
While Abel had already amazed wizard Morton by becoming a rank 1 novice wizard in such a short period of time, as well as being able to cast the firebomb spell from a prop, Abel was now able to master another spell in a short period of time which was far beyond the reach of many official wizards.

Although Abel may have used the ability of the prop to cast the Firebomb spell, Abel did not rely on the power of any treasure to cast the Frozen Armour. It was just Abel's pure genius. Wizard Morton was certain in his heart.
After discovering Abel's potentials, Wizard Morton made some changes to Abel's training plans. His hand made a pattern in the air, and then on the shelf by the wall, a sheaf of scrolls disappeared and appeared in his hands.
"Abel, you have much more talent than I expected. These are all spells that novice wizards can master. Take them all," Said the wizard, handing the scroll to Abel.
Abel opened the scrolls. The fire spell 'Warmth,' the ice spell "Ice Bullet,"' the electricity spell 'lightning bomb,' were all the other three spells of the novice wizard.
"Thank you, teacher!" Abel had also intended to ask the Morton wizard to learn new spells anyways, and now all of them were in his hands.
"There won't be any more lecture this morning. After your life and death battle, I think you had a tough day already. Go back and have a good rest." Wizard Morton waved to Abel, Abel was then immediately teleported out of the 11th floor before he could even react to what wizard Morton had said.
As soon as he woke up from his vertigo, a fat face appeared in front of him. Abel was shocked, but suddenly he realized that it was his fellow wizard follower Finkle.
"Mr. Abel, Mrs. Camille, asked you to go to her!" Said Finkle with a respectful salute.

"Got it! Abel said yes and looked at Finkle, who was before him, "You seem to have lost some weight."
"Really? Mr. Abel?" Fat Finkle's face immediately lit up with delight. The main reason I wanted to be a wizard was that I've heard that meditation can help you lose weight."
Abel then rolled his eyes and laughed. "Finkle, that's the most outrageous reason I've ever heard. Watch out for the wizard Morton. He will take you into the laboratory and make you lose weight there."
The laboratory of the official wizard was said to be one of the scariest places in the world, as wizards conduct experiments with living beings, which was one of the main reasons many people fear wizards.
"Please don't harm me, Mr. Abel." Said Finkle, with a furtive glance up the stairs as the flesh of his face crumpled
"You're actually something Finkle. All other wizards are afraid of being eroded by mana, but you are using it to lose weight." Abel shook his head and laughed.
"You didn't know? In the past, at the side of the magic tower, there was too little magic, the fat that was trimmed away by the magic would come back as soon as I eat one meal. After entering the magic tower, every meditation, I could feel my weight going down. Soon enough, I will become an ordinary person." There was a light in Finkle's eyes as if imagining himself losing weight.
"Come on, don't think about these ridiculous things. Here you are. Remember to take it when you lose weight." Abel handed Finkle the unused box of 'constitution potion' that uncle Sam had given him.
"Constitution potions!" Finkle cheerfully took the potion. Then, he looked up at Abel and said, "Don't you need the potion too when you pick them up?"
"Pick up? Where can I get it?" Abel had only just heard for the first time that a 'constitution potion' was available.
"Have you not received your offer, Mr?" Finkle asked, looking strangely at Abel.
