In this year, John officially stepped into the Epic realm. Along with his rapid rise in power, he underwent a series of astonishing transformations that left people in awe.
Take, for instance, a drop of blood within him; it was anything but ordinary! Even for an average person, that single drop could be considered an incredibly potent elixir. And that was just the tip of the iceberg; there were many more extraordinary aspects that were difficult to articulate.
Consider his companions, particularly Annie. Due to her long-term association with John, even though her training was somewhat sporadic, she still managed to advance to the Half-Step Transcendent Realm thanks to this unique advantage. Such a speed of cultivation would be deemed impossible for most people.
Undoubtedly, John's Epic status and the unique Holy Light Fighting Training Method combined transformed him into a veritable human elixir. Anyone who had even a slight connection with him seemed to gain an endless source of strength.
When faced with those vicious dark entities, John's displayed power was like a force of nature. Just recently, while hunting, he encountered a terrifying ghoul at the Transcendent level. Remarkably, John merely released a wave of Universal Qi Training Method energy and effortlessly purified the monstrous creature until it vanished without a trace. Such terrifying strength truly left people speechless!
As for his social circle, now that John had been promoted to Viscount, his friends had also risen in status; they were no longer just local nobles or merchants from other counties.
Take Redman for example; had it not been for John's lingering affection for their past friendship, they might have lost all contact by now. John's address for Redman shifted from "Brother" to simply calling him by name.
Redman's territory did not see such development initially; he started by managing an iron mine in Binhai Town for quick profits. However, his old-fashioned noble mindset kept him stuck in place—day after day watching over his two territories while overseeing serfs working the land. With John's help, he managed to establish a brick factory, but otherwise, it remained typical for a Barony.
The only difference was that Redman's military was significantly stronger than that of an average Barony due to John's assistance in training them. Additionally, he had four beautiful daughters, which made John envious. He couldn't help but wonder if it was due to the More Children, More Blessings talent; all one hundred of his children turned out to be boys—he didn't have a single daughter.
This led John to believe that having too many children wasn't necessarily good; having both boys and girls like Redman seemed much better.
As Lord, Redman should have devoted himself wholeheartedly to managing his territory, yet he appeared indifferent to such matters. Seven years ago, his adventurous spirit erupted like a volcano; thus, he resolutely formed a mercenary group named Dark Raven Wings and led them on various adventures.
He often spent long periods away from his territory. Whenever he returned from an exhilarating adventure, he would eagerly seek out John to share tales filled with fantastical experiences: how he battled powerful monsters and endured countless hardships to uncover priceless treasures. Listening to these gripping stories stirred feelings of envy within John.
To John, Redman resembled a free-spirited travel blogger who could roam freely across lands and experience all that life had to offer.
This lifestyle fascinated John deeply; it felt as if a small cat was gently scratching at his heart—an unbearable itch. However, when considering the dangers that might arise during adventures, John hesitated to step outside his door. After all, life is precious and should not be risked lightly.
Time flew by swiftly, and soon another year arrived. After years of relentless effort and training, John finally broke through his limits and entered the Epic realm. At that moment, the long-buried desire for adventure ignited fiercely within him once again. Finally, John resolved to form his own mercenary group.
Of course, John Ke did not intend to venture out alone like Redman did. After careful consideration, he decided to meticulously select ten exceptionally skilled Transcendent soldiers and thirty elite Half-Step Transcendent soldiers from his personal guard to accompany him on this journey. This way, not only would safety be greatly enhanced but they could also look out for one another.
John had clear plans for this expedition. He did not wish to experience grueling wilderness survival but rather hoped for a relaxed and enjoyable trip where he could fully appreciate the beauty and wonders along the way.
