The sky is clear and blue, white clouds are floating gently in the wind, and the brown land has sprouted green buds, which are somewhat mottled.
Unconsciously, it has entered March, the vegetation is blooming, and the prosperous spring has suddenly arrived.
The warehouse outside Jinmaisui City.
In the silver-white secret room, Colin stood quietly in the center.
There was nothing around him, except for a few gray-black God-eating ants in the far corner, which were gnawing at the remains of worms that were only the size of a palm.
The golden blood flowed with brilliance, covering Colin's body like a veil.
After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Whoosh!
With his feet slightly open and his arms slightly raised, Colin assumed the starting position of the Red Light Breathing Technique.
Crash--
The golden blood in his body surged like waves, and he began to practice the breathing method. His figure suddenly appeared in the lake, and the only sound of the whistling wind could be heard in the silver secret room.
About half an hour later, Colin stopped and stood up, exhaling a deep breath of turbid air, and the golden blood in his body gradually became silent.
"The red light blood energy has been completely transformed into vibrating gold blood energy half a month ago."
"But every time you use the blood of the gods, you can still get a clear improvement. After accumulating to this day, in terms of the strength of the blood, the intensity of the golden blood is now more than 10 times equivalent to the original red light blood!"
The substantial increase in blood energy has also greatly improved the knight's strength!
Unfortunately, the improvement in overall strength was not as obvious as Colin expected.
After all, blood is just blood. Just like a wizard only increases his magic power. No matter how large the increase is, it is difficult to achieve a qualitative improvement.
However, Colin was not discouraged.
In the process of taking the blood of gods these past few times, he found that in addition to the increase in blood energy, his willpower and mental strength also seemed to have slightly improved!
The body, soul, blood, magic, will and spirit all influence each other!
‘Perhaps there are still unexplored connections between these six?’ Colin suddenly thought.
Such thoughts just passed by in a flash. He didn't delve into it. He sat down cross-legged, took out a full bottle of the blood of gods, and used his mental power to take a drop of it and prepare to take it.
Today it’s time to use the blood of the gods again.
After all the blood gas was converted into vibranium blood gas, the shortest interval required to absorb the blood of the gods not only did not increase as the blood gas approached saturation, but actually decreased.
Now he only needs a day and a half to use a drop of the blood of the gods!
After swallowing the god's blood with ease, Colin closed his eyes slightly and felt it turn into a ball of heat in his chest, and then flow towards his limbs and bones.
But after feeling it for a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and frowned.
The feeling of taking the blood of gods this time... seems a little strange?!
The heat flow brought by the blood of the gods usually takes at least ten minutes to be initially absorbed, but now it was only ten seconds, but he could no longer feel the existence of the heat flow.
At the same time, a strong sense of hunger and thirst came through the body, almost causing convulsions!
But now Colin is mentally strong, has super brain talent, and has very strong control over himself.
He continued to feel the sensations coming from his body with a calm expression.
After a long time, he hesitantly opened the crystal bottle, took in a small amount of the god's blood, and slowly sucked it into his mouth.
"Is this... a stirring of will?"
Although he only ingested an insignificant trace of the blood of the gods again, Colin felt obvious changes.
As if a certain critical point had been exceeded, he could feel the power of the knight's will stirring and flourishing!
Unfortunately, perhaps because the blood of the gods was too little, this feeling only lasted for a moment and then dissipated.
Colin did not rush to continue taking the blood of the gods, but closed his eyes again, eliminated all external interference, and carefully felt the power of will.
'There seems to be some growth? But more of a slight change?'
Frankly speaking, after carefully feeling it, he did feel that the power of his will had increased, but the magnitude could only be said to be minimal.
In contrast, the more obvious feeling is actually a slight change that occurs in the will, which is difficult to describe in words, but does exist.
The power of will is intangible and qualityless. It can give knights the ability to fly, and it can also be turned into armor to provide defense. It can also directly focus attacks to strike enemies. It sounds a bit like the telekinesis that was often heard in previous lives, but in fact, the two are different.
Completely different.
If I have to say it, the power of will is quite similar to the mental power brought by a strong soul.
After waiting quietly for another half hour, no other abnormality occurred, and even the overflowing state of the body began to gradually subside. Colin finally stopped hesitating and took another drop of the god's blood!
boom!
The shimmering red droplets were swallowed into the mouth, quickly traveled from the throat to the chest, and then turned into a thick stream of heat, which immediately spread towards the limbs and bones.
If it were in the past, these heat flows should gradually be integrated into the blood energy in the limbs and bones, and finally be gradually absorbed as the blood energy continues to flow. In the process, the blood energy will gradually strengthen.
However, at this moment, Colin keenly discovered that although the heat flow was still flowing towards the limbs and bones, the blood in the body did not increase at all.
At the same time, the heat flow brought by the blood of the gods is constantly decreasing.
Wow!
Will began to surge again, emanating from Colin uncontrollably, making the surrounding space look a little distorted.
It is constantly getting stronger!
Colin's face was filled with joy. The source of a knight's power lies in the body, and its expression comes from two aspects - blood and will!
Now all the blood energy in the body has been transformed into vibrating gold blood energy, and its strength has been greatly improved compared to before.
But the strength of his will has not improved at all, just like a man with a broken leg... the strength of the knight is obviously out of balance!
If the willpower can also be improved at the same time, then this unbalanced state will undoubtedly break itself!
However, just a moment later, the blood of the gods was exhausted, and the surging will suddenly began to decline.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not only did it not continue to grow, it started to decline!
"The blood of the gods is not enough!"
Colin's eyes flickered, he pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and took another drop of the god's blood!
Wow!
The blood energy also starts to move spontaneously due to the surge of willpower!
After only half an hour, Colin was shocked to find that the blood of the gods in his hands had bottomed out and was about to be exhausted!
But at this moment, the will has not yet completely sublimated!
Just like a climber who is about to reach the top of the mountain, although there is only a steep rock wall in his field of vision, as long as he crosses the last few meters, he can conquer the cliff in front of him and see the scenery on the top of the mountain!
Colin can also feel that just a little bit... just a little bit, some kind of transformation of will can occur!
Whoosh!
Using his mental power to absorb another drop of the god's blood, Colin raised his head and swallowed it, continuing to concentrate on digestion.
five minutes later.
All the blood of the gods in the rhombus crystal bottle has been consumed.
Colin sat quietly on the spot, his willpower around him so strong that it had obvious outlines, and the solid ground under the blessing of the silver chamber was also somewhat distorted.
However, there is still a slight difference...the will has not been completely sublimated...
Feeling that his will was beginning to show signs of weakening again, Colin suddenly opened his eyes and strode towards the corner.
There, the gray-black God-eating ant had devoured the last worm remains and fell into a state of near-death. Its carapace glowed with golden light, as if it was about to complete its transformation!
Kaka——
"hiss!"
Just like this, when Colin came closer, the God-eating ant twisted its body and shed its old gray-black shell, and neighed with joy in celebration of its transformation.
Wow——!
However, before it could be happy for too long, in the next second, a brilliance of witchcraft flashed through.
All that was left of the last God-Eating Ant was the remains of rotten wood and a pool of thick golden liquid.
After a while, the Danjin liquid was purified into an insignificant trace.
"This is already the last blood of the gods. If it still doesn't work, it can only be said to be luck."
Colin opened his lips calmly and gently inhaled it.
Teng!
It's really just a tiny bit missing.
After absorbing the last bit of the god's blood, the will also climbed over the cliff and climbed to the top of the mountain!
Colin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He could feel that even without the supplement of the god's blood, his will would not decline as before.
Moreover, the blood of the gods has been exhausted, but the will is still surging at this moment... What?!
Colin's expression suddenly changed drastically.
He could feel that his powerful spiritual power, belonging to a third-level wizard, suddenly began to surge.
And it is intertwined with the power of will... even fused together!

One week later.
In the silver secret room in the warehouse outside the city.
Colin was sitting cross-legged on the soft cushion in the center, mumbling to himself.
"The soul is not only as clear as the body on the outside, but also has a clear 'spiritual context' on the inside."
"...This is indeed a soul expression that can only be possessed by a third-level high-level wizard. Moreover, the magic power has been growing rapidly in the past few days. A week has passed and it has almost doubled."
"Not only have I advanced to a third-level knight, but I have also advanced to a third-level advanced wizard?"
Although he had deduced this more than once, Colin was still a little unbelievable.
"No, that's not right. Am I really a third-level knight now? And the third-level senior wizard doesn't seem right either..."
Sigh... I have a headache. That day, my will power sublimated to the end, and it was strangely integrated with my mental power.
Colin shook his head and thought.
Invisible power came out from all over.
This new power was tentatively called spiritual will, or divine will for short.
Perhaps because it is the fusion of will power and spiritual power, Divine Will perfectly retains all the advantages of both and strengthens them.
As for the wizard, Colin's spellcasting speed has been further improved, and his soul has been nourished and strengthened. He can now cast three witchcrafts at the same time!
The magic power capacity was also affected, and it was greatly improved after just a few meditations!
As for the knight, the fastest flight speed he can achieve based on divine will alone is already equivalent to that of ordinary third-level advanced flight witchcraft, and his flexibility is even better.
The same is true for defense and attack. The power is already equivalent to the third-level force field witchcraft used daily!
Moreover, the strength of the physical body is also nourished and improved.
As for the blood energy, after these few days of practice, it has also been tempered. Not only has the color turned into red gold, but the power has also increased to a higher level!
However, this is not all the benefits brought by this fusion of will and spirit.
The greater benefit lies in "integration".
Although there are no signs of fusion between the blood and magic in Colin's body, the relationship between the two has also undergone a qualitative change.
It was as if two complete strangers had spent decades together in an intimate relationship.
Colin was surprised to find that magic power can assist the recovery of blood energy to a certain extent, and conversely, blood energy can also accelerate the recovery of magic power!
This is the most obvious change brought about by the change in the relationship between the two, but the impact of this wonderful change in relationship goes far beyond that.
After that day, Colin had a strange feeling, as if a person with 800 degrees of myopia suddenly regained his sight, and everything in the world was extraordinarily different.
He can feel that his reactions are faster, his energy is more energetic, and his perception is more acute.
This change, until today, a week later, he still has not been able to fully adapt to it.
But time no longer allowed him to continue feeling it.
The day of spring harvest has arrived.
Standing up slowly, Colin clenched his fists and still smiled.
No matter what, it is always a good thing that one's own strength has once again made a leap, especially in such a precarious time.
'If we encounter a fourth-level wizard sent by the gods again, we may not be in such a panic again.'
Putting away the silver secret room, he stepped out of the warehouse.
Wow——
The soft spring breeze blew in his face, and a golden sea of wheat suddenly came into view. Colin took a deep breath, stood there for a moment, and then flew towards the Wizard Tower.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although the scenery is beautiful, he has been in retreat for too long, and he urgently needs to find a mentor to understand what happened recently.
…
"Have a large number of caravans come over to discuss the purchase of grain?"
In the study, Colin rubbed his chin.
"Yes, when the farmland was polluted, a large number of Meredith's granaries were also destroyed. It was the front line of the war and food supply must be ensured, so in the past few months, various miracle cities have been continuously transporting food to it.
"
"Grain reserves in various places have been greatly reduced as a result. The changes in the war situation some time ago have caused panic, causing people throughout Neustadt, including the Meredith area, to stockpile grain. The price of grain has risen again and again, and there is still a limited amount of food.
Purchase orders have been issued, but the market is still in short supply.”
"Now that the wheat in the Tilaimei Plain is about to mature, those caravans will naturally come after hearing the news."
Altbold explained.
"Yes." Colin nodded, "The wheat trade can be carried out gradually. The food in Tireme is sufficient."
"What about the price?"
Colin pondered for a long time and said: "Sell according to the price of previous years. Just pay attention to signing good contracts with those caravans, control profits, and let them maintain the market selling price of wheat to the same level as previous years.
He can indeed sell the grain from the Tilaimei Plain at a high price. After all, Tilaimei is the largest grain producing area in the entire Neuinstadt region. As long as the quantity of grain exports is limited, or even without restrictions, it can be reduced according to the current market price.
Even at a few percent of the export price, you can get astonishing profits.
But he is not a capitalist. The normal sale of wheat in the Tilaimei Plain is enough for him to earn a huge income. He has no intention of lowering his bottom line to make this kind of ill-gotten wealth.
What's more, this is a time of war, and the stability of food prices is very important to the wizard's side. He is not that short-sighted!
"...Yes." Atbold nodded slightly in surprise.
Not all people can maintain the basic bottom line of human nature in the face of staggering interests.
This kind of grace and grace... is definitely not something that can only be brought about by pure strength.
"Has anything else happened recently, related to the war?" Colin asked again.
"In terms of war... the battles on the frontline are more frequent than before. Small-scale battles basically take place every day, and the gods will launch a major attack every few days.
But overall it’s still a stalemate.”
Altbould answered, thought for a while and then said: "Recently, all major miracle cities have been increasing their efforts to mobilize wizards to participate in frontline wars."
"Yes." Colin continued to nod, his face calm, he thought about it and then said:
"The coming spring harvest still needs a lot of attention from the teacher. There is no room for loss in this batch of food!"
