Scarcely had they returned to Myerzu Town when Kenley swiftly pulled Tia aside.

  "Master, what's going on? You seem so mysterious," Tia inquired, a look of bewilderment on her face.

  Kenley cast a furtive glance around, ensuring that there was no one nearby. Only then did he say,"Tia, you must keep what is about to happen a closely guarded secret."

  "A secret?" Tia's curiosity was further piqued.

  Ever since Tia had been following Kenley, she had never truly known him well. And now that Kenley was about to share a secret with her, how could Tia not be delighted?

  Moreover, having just listened to the excited recounting of the Fangtooth Squad on their way back, she came to realize just how remarkable her master was. He had actually defeated a Black Sheep cultist of the fourth rank, relying solely on the power of the second rank!

  It was beyond imagination. In Aude Continent, everyone was well aware of how immense the suppressing force was when crossing two ranks, especially before becoming a Bronze Citizen. The suppression was even more pronounced then. Only after attaining the status of a Bronze Citizen and achieving elemental enlightenment could a fourth - rank being, with great difficulty, have the strength to contend with a sixth - rank opponent.

  "Come! Let me show you," Kenley said. As he spoke, he murmured incantations with one hand directed at a wall. Moments later, a flash of golden light flickered, and a circular teleportation gate opened!

  "A teleportation gate?!"

  Tia's astonishment was evident. It was the first time she had witnessed someone opening a teleportation gate directly without using a spatial magic array or relying on a spatial crystal.

  Teleportation magic was a high - level magic that embodied the laws of space! Generally, only those of the sixth rank or above could cast it, and they had to rely on a spatial crystal or a spatial magic array.

  "Master, you're a warrior, right? You haven't dual - trained as a mage yet, have you? How on earth do you know the spatial teleportation magic above the sixth rank?" Tia said with excitement on her face.

  "That's why it's a secret. Tia, when the time is right, I'll tell you the answer. I promise," Kenley winked at her with his left eye.

  "Mm!" Tia nodded obediently.

  Then, under Kenley's guidance, they stepped through and were instantly teleported back to their home in Marlen Imperial City.

  "This is great, Master! Now we don't have to travel back and forth so much!" Tia looked at the familiar home, feeling a new sense of freshness.

  Kenley exhaled a sigh of relief."Well, today's task has been successfully completed, Tia. The next thing to do is to prepare for the trial to become a Bronze Citizen. But before that, we need to boost your strength to the third rank."

  The Reincarnation Quest of the Bronze Body allowed for team completion. Except for the last solo boss that must be cleared alone, Kenley planned to take Tia to complete it together.

  Tia was currently at level 19, and she was still 11 levels short of level 30. However, it didn't matter. Since Tia was a vampire, she could quickly enhance her strength by sucking blood, so there was no need to worry too much about that.

  "Master, do you mean you want Tia to increase her strength too?"

  "That's right."

  "Um, Master, Tia has something she wants to discuss with you."

  "What is it?"

  "Master, could you please don't let Tia use Bloodthirsty anymore."

  Kenley was taken aback."Why?" Kenley asked hurriedly.

  If she couldn't use Bloodthirsty, how could she enhance her strength?

  "Master, you can let Tia use Blood Extraction."

  "Blood Extraction?" Kenley thought for a moment. Blood Extraction was also a way. According to the effect description, it allowed the vampire to transform the opponent's life force into her own and replenish the BP gauge (Blood Pool: used to cast the exclusive skills of later - stage vampires), and it couldn't cause paralysis. However, since Tia hadn't become a Bronze Citizen yet, the BP gauge hadn't been opened.

  "I only want to use Blood Extraction on you, Master," Tia said in a very soft voice, so soft that Kenley could barely hear it.

  But of course Kenley heard it. Kenley fell silent. It turned out that possessiveness was at play...

  "Alright, I can agree," Kenley said after a moment of thought. After all, it was quite important to take Tia's feelings into account. He couldn't just focus on matters related to combat all the time.

  "Mm! Thank you, Master!" Tia said with a joyful expression.

  "However..." Kenley changed the subject."In critical moments, you should still use Bloodthirsty when necessary. Got it?"

  "Okay! No problem, Tia understands!" Tia nodded repeatedly in agreement.

  "Well, today's tasks are all done, Tia. It's time to rest."

  "Master, Tia is hungry..." Tia said as she moved closer to Kenley.

  "Didn't you suck blood when you went out earlier today? And you also did during the battle, right?"

  "Just one sip, just one sip!"

  "Wait a moment. Let me have something to eat first, okay?"

  "No, Master, Tia wants it now..."

  "Wait, wait. I'm not ready yet..."

  "Roar!"

  "Ah!"

  And just like that, another happy and wonderful day in Aude Continent came to an end.

  ------

  "Aren't they the Blood Knight Duo?"

  "I heard that for more than a month now, they've snatched up almost all the third - rank quests. Other third - rank adventurers have no quests to take."

  "Just two people? Are they really that good? Can they handle so many third - rank quests?"

  "When will they reach the fourth rank? Wuwuwu, I'm almost starving to death."

  "You can do second - rank quests. You won't starve."

  "But I want to do third - rank quests... We're a team of six, and second - rank quests can't support us."

  ...

  Kenley led Tia back to the Adventurer's Guild to hand in their quests. As soon as they entered the main gate, they immediately felt the gazes of the people around them. From the initial curiosity to the later awe, Kenley had now gained a certain reputation within the Adventurer's Guild of Marlen Imperial City.

  Kenley had managed to obtain a full set of level 30 blue - quality armor, and it had been a bumpy process.

  Now Kenley's HP and defense values had been significantly increased by one and a half levels. Kenley was now confident that even when facing a Bronze Paladin within level 45, he could fight with confidence!

  The breastplate mainly increased HP and defense. The gauntlets and greaves added a small amount of HP and defense, but the gauntlets increased the critical strike rate, while the greaves increased agility.

  The helmet increased both defense and HP, and also increased critical strike damage. Meanwhile, the gloves increased the critical strike rate and strength, and even provided additional damage.

  At the same time, the level 30 Magic Vortex Ring that Kenley had custom - made for Tia was successfully worn. It was of purple quality, increasing magic damage, critical strike rate, and fire element affinity rate. Although there had been some heated exchanges between Kenley and Smith, fortunately, the awkward situation between them had been resolved without incident.

  It could be said that the two of them had been completely transformed.
