Chapter 210: Chapter 141: Steel Dragon Scale, The Red Hair Trend

Evil Spirit Cat Manor.

After receiving the pass to the Wizarding World from David, Roy didn’t go anywhere else. He bid farewell and left the Royal Palace immediately.

As before, to avoid being pestered by visitors, he didn’t use the main gate. Instead, like an assassin, he relied on his agility to sneak into the manor without alerting anyone, returning to his third-floor guest room through a window.

After resting on the sofa for a moment, he entered Chaos Square.

Now that he had secured his pass to the Wizarding World, the next order of business was, of course, to practice his Breathing Techniques.

After some thought, he decided to grind the Unicorn Giant, Golden Deer, and Steel Dragon Breathing Techniques to the Tier Nine Limit, in that order.

After that, he would select five of his existing Perfect Breathing Techniques and grind them, along with the Special Type Thousand-faced Demon Fairy Breathing Technique, to the Tier Nine Limit.

Finally, in one last push, he would fuse twelve Tier Nine Limit Seeds simultaneously and become a true Legendary Knight.

For anyone else, having six types of Life Seeds break through to the Legendary Realm simultaneously would be an absolutely impossible feat.

But for him, with his Skill Proficiency Panel, it wasn’t difficult at all.

When he chose to fuse them, the Life Seed being upgraded wouldn’t level up instantly. It would first shatter the Life Seeds being used as material, devour their fragments, and only level up after they were fully digested.

This process would give him enough time to initiate the fusion for all the Life Seeds.

After taking a few deep breaths to calm himself completely, Roy began his Cultivation of the Unicorn Giant Breath Technique.

Time flew by.

Before he knew it, half a month had passed.

During this period, Roy seemed to have vanished, never once appearing in public.

Although he rarely made an appearance, the fame of "Red-haired" Shanks didn’t diminish in the slightest.

In fact, a red-hair trend had even started in Storm City.

At first, only a few young nobles dyed their hair red.

After they started parading through the city, flaunting their eye-catching red hair while wearing ornate black Hunter’s Clothing similar to Roy’s, the combination became a brand-new trend.

This red-hair trend swept through all of Storm City in just a day or two.

From there, it began to spread to other cities.

If dyeing their hair red and donning black Hunter’s Clothing was the first stage of imitation, then the flurry of challenge letters that followed was the second.

Due to their own limited strength, these young nobles didn’t dare send challenge letters to the Golden Great Knights and Silver Great Knights.

So, they targeted their peers of similar strength instead.

With the exception of Selena and Monica, the younger generation of every major family received at least a few challenge letters.

Even Robert, who was still recovering from the right arm and left leg Roy had broken, received several challenge letters inviting him to a duel once he had healed.

If even Robert was getting challenged, it went without saying for the others.

As for Selena and Monica, though Roy hadn’t laid a hand on them, in everyone else’s eyes, they already belonged to "Red-haired" Shanks.

It wasn’t just outsiders who thought so; even their father, Harvey, shared the sentiment.

If there was one thing Harvey regretted lately, it was that the relationship between Roy and the two sisters had never progressed.

Harvey knew full well that the Evil Spirit Cat Clan’s current prestige and status—surpassing even that of the Golden Clan—was entirely thanks to Roy.

If the relationship between Roy and the two sisters didn’t deepen, then the day he left the manor, the Evil Spirit Cat Clan would not only be knocked back to where they started, but would also very likely face joint suppression from the other families.

To bind Roy firmly to the Evil Spirit Cat Clan, Harvey had hinted more than once that Selena and Monica could be more proactive.

Selena and Monica did as he suggested.

Yet, to this day, they had failed to achieve their goal.

Forget spending the night in Roy’s room; nowadays, they were lucky if they even saw him in the second-floor dining room.

Roy knew what they were thinking, but he still hadn’t made them his "card partners."

It wasn’t that he no longer enjoyed "playing cards"; he simply had no time for such worldly desires right now.

Breathing Techniques, Meditation Techniques, Secret Techniques, Magic...

He had an incredible number of things to cultivate right now.

Chaos Square.

Roy was fully focused on his Cultivation of the Steel Dragon Breathing Technique, making a final push.

He had already ground the Unicorn Giant Breath Technique and the Golden Deer Breathing Technique to the Tier Nine Limit.

Unfortunately, neither of those two Breathing Techniques had managed to awaken a second special effect.

He wasn’t yet sure if the Steel Dragon Breathing Technique would yield a second special effect.

But he would find out in another half an hour.

Before he knew it, half an hour had passed.

[Steel Dragon Breathing Technique Upgraded!]

[Steel Dragon Breathing Technique: Tier Nine (Limit), Effects: Advanced Defense, Steel Dragon Scale]

’Finally, a second effect!’

Roy sighed with relief. He then opened the Skill Proficiency Panel to check the description for Steel Dragon Scale.

[Steel Dragon Scale: Forms a layer of steel dragon scales on the skin’s surface, increasing Defense Power.]

As always, the description from the Skill Proficiency Panel was concise.

Without hesitation, Roy closed the Skill Proficiency Panel, raised his hands, and activated the Steel Dragon Scale effect.
