Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System

Chapter 884: Chapter 373: Striding Forward, Abundant Gains

Haggs heard this and showed a bitter smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, I have been training the Cold-blooded Cavalry these past few months and haven’t paid much attention to other departments of the territory..."

It is indeed a bit difficult to have a Wetland Lizard-man Hero, who is responsible for combat, to worry about trivial administrative affairs.

Every time there is a meeting, he’s drowsy whenever talks of farming or resource excavation come up.

He still has a pile of tasks at hand, and after enhancing the troops, he has to organize and drill them into a corps-level combat force.

Otherwise, how would they fight effectively without becoming like scattered sand?

He is in charge of more than a hundred thousand people, feeling exhausted every day, and today he took some time to come here for an inspection...

Lear chuckled, waving his hand.

"Continue on..."

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and turned back, his gaze serious.

"Kneel."

Haggs was stunned, but he didn’t hesitate, promptly kneeling on one knee, right hand on his chest, head bowed low.

The posture was respectful and humble.

The trust in his Sovereign had already been ingrained into his soul.

Lear extended his right hand, resting it atop Haggs’ head.

"Haggs, you’ve fought alongside me for more than a year, earning countless merits. Today, I bestow upon you even greater power."

As he finished speaking, a wisp of moss-colored Fire of Origin surged from his palm directly into Haggs’ mind.

The next moment.

Haggs felt as if his body were thrown into a furnace, enveloped by terrifying high temperatures.

Every muscle and bone in his body transmitted a horrifying, searing pain as if branded by a hot iron.

Yet, the Wetland Lizard-man Hero’s expression only changed slightly, making no sound at all.

Wetland Lizard-man Talent — Pain Immunity.

This is also why this troop type can gallop on the battlefield as the ace of Weilu City.

Seeing this, Lear had no hesitation, manipulating the Fire of Origin to refine and burn away impurities within his blood.

After being burnt, the blood became more pure and powerful!

Not just that, the flames began to spread, scorching all of his bones and flesh.

Under the terrifying heat, they became tougher and stronger.

However, this burning greatly consumed Haggs’ strength. Within moments, his robust muscles began to wither, significantly shrinking, and even his aura weakened.

Without external support, if this burning continued, even if he completed the transformation, he would be utterly ruined.

Seeing this, Lear moved his mind slightly, instantly mobilizing the Power of Authority.

Pumping abundant energy into his body.

With strong power support, Haggs’ aura soared crazily.

The Fire of Origin also began burning from the body to the soul.

And the pain of the soul cannot be exempted.

Haggs’ face twitched in pain, but he grit his teeth, stubbornly remaining silent.

Every burn could ignite a large part of his soul, but the remaining soul would become extremely resilient and infused with life energy.

Noticing this change, Haggs endured the extreme burning pain with delight.

The whole process lasted an entire hour, until the end, Haggs’ body uncontrollably convulsed.

He stared hard, letting out a beast-like grunt from his throat, but there was no retreat at all.

The battlefield had long honed his will to be as strong as steel.

When the last trace of soul energy was burned through, Lear slowly withdrew his hand.

The next moment, an even more abundant force surged into Haggs’ body.

In the blink of an eye, his aura began to soar.

His level rose from Level 18 directly to Level 19, hesitated at Level 19 for the brief span of a few breaths, then broke through into the Extraordinary, stepping into Level 20, and only stopped gently at Level 21.

This meritorious Lizard-man Hero, who followed from nothing to this point, finally stepped into the sequence of the Extraordinary.

He was the one Lear personally nurtured from Level 6!

Lear’s eyes carried a look of satisfaction.

There was a strong sense of joy from nurturing, knowing that this Lizard-man Hero’s fate would change once again in his hands.

A long while after, Haggs slowly awoke.

Upon opening his eyes, he immediately knelt down with both legs, lowering his head firmly to the ground.

His tone bore intense excitement and trembling.

"Sovereign, thank you for your grace..."

Extraordinary, he never even dreamed of becoming such an existence before serving this Sovereign.

But ever since following the great Sovereign, he had step by step become a reality.

Joy, excitement, exhilaration...all sorts of complex emotions intertwined in his heart.

Lear nodded.

"In the future, you must earn more merits and do not become arrogant."

"Yes, Sovereign..."

After some simple advice, his gaze turned to the still-enhancing Cold-blooded Cavalry.

Thoughts moving slightly, the Divine Format in his mind blazed with endless brilliance.

A terrifying aura like a torrent flooded over, covering the entire Land of Crimson Rot.

Then, with an absolutely imposing stance, it imprinted a mark in the minds of those new Cold-blooded Cavalry.

After ascending to Medium Divine Power, his control over strength entered another level.

Even the Extraordinary could not resist, let alone mere Level 15 units.

After finishing all this, Lear did not linger, teleporting directly back to Weilu City.

Upon opening his eyes in a room at the City Hall, he immediately moved downstairs to Bain’s office.

Bain, who was holding a meeting with senior staff at City Hall, sprang from his chair like a spring when he saw Lear, enthusiastically walking briskly forward to salute.
