Level up is hard? I can Directly Purchase infinite Levels!-Chapter 61: The Law Seed?

"I will immediately request the strong warriors from the Patrol Council to come to our aid," Garson’s single eye gleamed with determination.

"As for the Human Council... until the situation is fully verified, it’s unlikely we’ll garner enough attention," he added.

Bang!

Hegros suddenly stood up.

"No matter whether Raine relied on forbidden techniques or innate talent, if it’s true that he single-handedly killed so many alien race geniuses, we must secure vast resources for him and cultivate him as the future commander of our Seventh Division, Scarlet Wall Patrol!"

The moment "commander" was mentioned, Yarna, Andrew, and the others were deeply shaken!

The Seventh Division, Scarlet Wall Patrol and the entire eastern defense line, though home to many fierce generals, had never produced an all-encompassing commander.

If one could emerge from their ranks...

It would be a supreme honor and the key to changing the entire battlefield!

Commander Hegros had once been a strong contender for this role, but he lacked certain qualities, especially in terms of power.

During the last battle at the highlands, he had been lured into a trap by three mid-tier Grandmasters of the Gargoyle race and had nearly been killed.

Fortunately, he had fought with everything he had, killing one Grandmaster and dragging the remaining two Grandmasters from the highlands all the way to the sea!

The three-day battle had left both sides heavily wounded and exhausted in terms of spiritual energy.

But neither side had the ability to completely annihilate the other, so they were forced to retreat.

He had been recovering in the castle for several days and had only just reappeared today.

"Everyone!"

"For the Seventh Division, Scarlet Wall Patrol, for our homeland, we must protect this budding flame!"

"YES!"

Hegros immediately set off for the highlands to personally escort Raine to safety!

Garson also dispatched a messenger to deliver the highest-level military intelligence to the command center.

He himself closely monitored any movements in Crimson City.

If the enemy made a move, he would personally lead the full force of Iron Dragon Fortress to assist!

Even if it meant the entire fortress falling, he would risk it!

...

One day later.

The shocking achievements of Raine finally spread throughout the Bloodhowl Highlands and even further afield.

The entire highlands fell into a long period of silence.

All soldiers, from rookies to veterans, had the same initial reaction—utter disbelief.

They knew Raine was strong; he had previously killed alien race noble geniuses.

But this time, his opponents were Thunderclan royal prodigies, Blackwater Clan geniuses, and Master-level powerhouses!

There were even some notorious Lord-rank Master alien beasts!

All done by him alone?

This was even more unbelievable than the heroic epics sung by bards!

Many people rushed to confirm with their squad leaders and platoon commanders, and the affirmative answers they received dealt another blow to their already shaken spirits!

Raine, however, was unaware of the uproar his actions had caused.

Thanks to the powerful self-healing abilities of the Obsidian Golem body, his internal injuries had healed quite well, and he expected to fully recover in a few days.

This was also because his current rank was relatively low, so the process of bodily reconstruction was easier.

If his rank were higher, recovering from such serious wounds would have been much harder, and the energy requirements would be terrifying.

Of course, as his Obsidian Golem body broke through to a higher star level, its healing ability would grow exponentially.

Once his injuries were fully healed, he planned to study the many new combat techniques he had obtained and integrate them into his fighting system.

He also intended to familiarize himself with the transcendent weapons he had seized, to avoid being unprepared in battle.

He walked out of the medical tent.

Vice-Captain Aaron was stationed not far off.

Seventh Division, Scarlet Wall Patrol’s commander Hegros was also standing nearby!

Raine vividly remembered this commander, whom he had met briefly on the mountain path.

"You’re looking much better!"

Hegros’ eyes gleamed with unconcealed admiration and curiosity.

"Commander Hegros!"

Raine stood at attention and gave a standard military salute.

"You’re definitely looking much livelier," Hegros said, sizing Raine up with approval, though still somewhat puzzled.

"Are you asking about what happened deep in the mountains?"

Seeing Hegros’s uncertain expression, Raine got straight to the point.

"Was it really you who did it?"

Hegros narrowed his ice-blue eyes, locking onto Raine.

"I had originally gone to the mountains to hone my Obsidian Golem body, but I happened to run into them..."

Raine briefly explained.

Though he had already heard the answer from Herbert, hearing it directly from Raine made Hegros’s heart race with excitement.

He suppressed his swirling emotions and asked the most critical question.

"How exactly did you manage to accomplish all of this?"

"I used a forbidden technique that allowed me to temporarily boost my rank to Master-level. I used it when I killed the Gargoyle noble before!"

Raine provided a reasonable explanation.

"But you don’t need to worry. The side effects of the forbidden technique, I can handle and resolve," he added.

"Temporarily boost to... Master-level?!"

Hegros sucked in a sharp breath.

Aaron, standing nearby, was also deeply moved.

This meant Raine had fought that incredible battle with the strength of a Master-level fighter.

"I won’t inquire into the specifics of the forbidden technique," Hegros said, quickly regaining his composure, his expression extremely serious.

"But remember, from now on, do not mention the details of this technique to anyone." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Tell others that it’s a forbidden art that burns life energy, but you must never reveal the details—even to our fellow humans. Do you understand?"

He also gave Aaron a pointed look.

Aaron nodded slightly after confirming with his powerful mental sense that no one was eavesdropping.

Raine understood that Hegros was protecting him and nodded solemnly in response.

Seeing this, Hegros revealed a faint smile of satisfaction.

He didn’t press Raine for further details.

Even if Raine had temporarily boosted himself to Master-level with a forbidden technique, the fact that he had killed so many carefully cultivated and well-equipped alien race geniuses proved his terrifying combat talent and adaptability.

A poor man, relying on borrowed strength, nearly wiped out an entire wealthy, well-equipped team.

But what would happen if that poor man had equal resources and support?

The result was simply unimaginable!

"Your methods of attack are still too single-minded," Hegros said. "I’ll try to gather some combat techniques and advancement insights from other human powerhouses for you."

"You need to build the most solid foundation on your path of advancement. This way, when you reach Expert-level and begin to form your Heart of Anomalous Energy, you’ll have an absolute advantage and be able to forge the strongest combat power!"

Upon hearing this, Raine became very interested and humbly asked for more details.

"Commander, can you explain the ranks beyond Elite-level in more detail?"

"About Expert-level, and Master-level!"

Hegros nodded patiently and began to explain.

"The core of Elite-level is to further condense and liquefy the Nex within the body, forming a powerful energy tide within the energy core."

"This tide will wash over the entire body, causing a qualitative change in physical power, allowing you to carry immense pressure with every movement."

"Expert-level is the crucial step—it’s the true threshold to begin touching the power of the heavens and earth."

"To achieve this, you need to expand the energy tide to a certain level, then use your body as the guide, combine it with spiritual intent, and use certain rare items containing the power of laws to plant a seed within the energy core."

"This seed is your bridge to communicate with elemental energy. Once planted, your spiritual power and physical body’s connection to the outside elemental energy will greatly enhance, enabling you to initially control elements like fire and lightning and perform feats such as flight and short-distance teleportation..."
