In the rare clear night, the moon that looked like a silver eye gradually disappeared.
The spiritual power between heaven and earth also faded away.
At this moment, under Elvin's leadership, Zenaro's totemic warrior advancement ritual had been completed.
Amidst the extremely subtle crackling of electricity.
Zenaro, who was only wearing shorts, sat cross-legged in the middle of the circular bluestone altar where he could see the night sky when he looked up.
On his body, the totem imprint belonging to the "Tree of Life" had completely solidified.
The twenty-four-year-old youth, who was already at the peak of the Trainee level, had a black jade-green "Tree of Life" that looked like it had crawled onto his bronze skin.
Inhale — Inhale —
The entry-level [Rapid Thunder Swordsmanship] breathing technique that Elvin had simplified helped Zenaro unify the strength of his body and mind.
At this moment, every muscle, bone, internal organ, and even nerve in his body began to slowly move as if they had gained an independent life.
Creak! Creak!
Even his tendons and skin were tightened bit by bit.
And this was only on the surface. A deeper change was happening inside his body.
The Transcendent transformation that belonged to Stage Two was causing a tremendous change on the cellular level in Zenaro's body.
The "Tree of Life" imprinted on his skin was like a green tree in the forest that swayed gently with the wind. It gently swayed along with the undulation of his skin, releasing a faint emerald green Transcendent spiritual light that seeped into every inch of his body.
It was constantly controlling the process of his physical transformation. This treatment was clearly much better than when a Knight had to rely on his own will to fight to the death during his transformation.
The totem's power was clearly not only used for combat.
Of course, there were always pros and cons.
The Transcendent Advancement of a totemic warrior was even simpler. There were almost no requirements in terms of willpower. As long as one maintained devout worship of the totem and reached a certain level of physical endurance, one could continue to advance.
But in contrast, there were very few totemic warriors who could finally break through to Stage Three and stand shoulder to shoulder with the Great Knight of the civilized world.
And during this process, a part of one's soul essence would gradually harmonize with the nature spirit that they worshiped.
Only by borrowing the power of these natural spirits could a totemic warrior control his overly powerful body.
But compared to clergymen on a similar path, totemic warriors did not have a divine domain or divine kingdom that belonged to the gods after death for them to reside in.
They would gradually lose their sense of self and eventually become a part of nature.
Most of the nature spirits who loved living sacrifices did not care about the impurities of the emotions of mortals at all.
Sometimes, Elvin would even think that a "totem warrior" was a profession that did not cultivate one's soul at all.
Could it be that in the end, it was to provide a powerful human body for those natural spirits that had no physical bodies or divinity to possess?
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
As time passed, Elvin had enough experimental data in his hands because of the great sacrifice of the previous "volunteers."
It was easy to determine that Zenaro's transformation had succeeded.
If it was a normal Extraordinary path that had already been branded in the World's Origin, the occupant would only need to perform the corresponding ritual, and there would be very little need for human intervention.
However, the few professions that Elvin had built from the bottom up based on his knowledge of the Magi's mysticism would not work.
Other than Elvin, there was no one else who could preside over such a complicated ceremony.
Suddenly.
Whoosh!
In the laboratory where all the light sources, including the ritual candles, had been extinguished, a red electric light suddenly flashed.
That was Zenaro's eyes that had suddenly opened!
"Hmm? He's awake. It's just that … there's something wrong. "
Elvin frowned slightly and waved his hand to signal Paca, who was watching from the side, to step back. This was because at this moment, there was an abnormality on Zenaro's body that had never happened to the Nimanster pirate "volunteers."
Huff!
The long and heavy panting sound made Zenaro look like a killer whale that had just landed from the sea.
Boom!
Zenaro, who had already stood up silently like a cat, had a bird's wing engraving on his ankle. With a light flash, he flew in front of Elvin with a lift of his leg.
The wind roared.
Then, a simplified engraving like a bull's horn flashed on his wrist. The native youth with red eyes suddenly swung his fist like an iron hammer with wind and thunder. Perhaps … it was not the same.
Instead, it was the lightning engraving on the back of his neck that was integrated into the branch of life that flashed at the same time. The heavy iron fist really did have yellow electric light shining on it!
There was no doubt that even if there was a stone wall here, it would be smashed into smithereens by his heavy fists that were like a killer whale's tail.
However.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the raging Zenaro was grabbed by the back of his neck like a cat by Elvin and slammed to the ground.
Stone chips splashed everywhere, and even the smooth tiles under their feet were broken into several pieces.
The totem warrior who had just completed his extraordinary transformation did not have the chance to show off his might before he fainted without a sound.
Elvin squatted down and pried open Zenaro's eyelids. He carefully checked and found that the color of his pupils had completely returned to normal.
Then, he gave the worried Paca a reassuring look.
"He's already a totem warrior. It's just that he's not used to it for a while. He'll be fine once he wakes up. Bring him back to his residence."
"Yes, Sir!"
Although he was a little worried, Paca did not ask much due to his trust in his captain's powerful strength. He pulled Zenaro's robe and wrapped him up before he gently carried him out of Elvin's laboratory.
It was obvious that the tradition of the Arawak clan had also been passed down to the two of them.
Behind them, Elvin rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"Is it the remnant of the killer whale totem's faith in the Arawak clan? The final struggle before being completely eliminated by the new totem power from the "Tree of Life".
The Nimmanst people did not have such a problem because they and their ancestors had never believed in natural spirits? Their bodies and souls are very clean.
But it's not a big problem. As long as they carry out a complete exorcism ceremony before the ceremony starts, it will be fine.
Also, it saves me a lot of trouble … Show! "
Name: Zenaro
Gender: Male
Profession: Pirate Cadre (Dragon Rider Pirate Team)
Profession Rank: Tree of Life Totem Warrior
Attributes: Physique 1.31, Strength 1.2, Agility 1.34 (Based on the big data, it's estimated to be high after half a month. Physical growth requires a certain period of time)
Skills: Ceci's Curved Sword Technique, Totem Engraving (Scamper, Steel Wrist, Thunder Flash)
Although Zenaro, who had just completed his transformation, was as powerless as a child in front of Elvin, Elvin had already completely seen his body's data.
As for the few abilities that he just displayed, Elvin, who was bad at naming, directly plagiarized the names of his sister's talent spells. Anyway, the effects were similar.
It was better to say that Elvin's design of the "Tree of Life Totem Warrior" ability was based on part of Anita's dragon bloodline talent spells.
Even if he changed the names of "Cat's Grace" and "Bear's Strength", there would be no problem at all. In fact, these two spells were the most cost-effective buffs for physical professions.
"Fast as lightning, with infinite strength" was the ultimate pursuit of most physical-type Transcendents.
In addition, the "Tree of Life Totem Warrior" had also completely achieved his expected goal.
Zenaro did not learn the advanced part of the [Rapid Thunder Swordsmanship], but he could still instinctively use the power of thunder and lightning under the coordination of the engraving.
To be able to do this, the development of this new profession was completely worth the price of admission.
"However, compared to the 'Tree of Life Totem Warrior', I am more willing to call this new profession [Branded Swordsman]!"
Although the Totem Warrior that Zenaro had taken up was an advanced version of witchcraft, it seemed to be more powerful than the Totem Warrior that was limited by natural spiritual powers and extended from a single core rune.
However, compared to the complete version that Elvin was going to use on himself, it could only be considered an emasculated monkey version.
It was not that Elvin was stingy and was afraid that his subordinates would surpass him.
It was because Zenaro did not have Elvin's physical talent that balanced three attributes, nor did he have the projection of the "Tree of Life" in his sea of consciousness that was formed by the meditation technique of the "Revitalization School".
He did not have the qualifications to learn the monkey version of the [Rapid Thunder Swordsmanship]. Even if he could activate the "low power" of thunder and lightning, he still needed an exclusive thunder rune sword.
Only by cooperating with each other could he barely control the lightning that originated from the vitality magnetic field. Furthermore, regardless of the strength or the degree of subtlety, it could not be compared to the original version.
The witchcraft engravings on the body of the [Extraordinary Profession, Branded Swordsman] did not point to external existences such as natural spirits or the source of the Extraordinary. Instead, they pointed to the source of the Extraordinary's own soul!
The Tree of Life that took root in the sea of consciousness supported the space of consciousness with its lush canopy.
The roots extended downwards and fused with the meridians of the human body, spreading to every functional area in the body. It would also truly fuse with the witchcraft engravings on the skin, granting them extraordinary spirituality.
Finally, through the resonance of both the internal and external "Tree of Life", the complete integration of the body and soul would be achieved.
At that time, the body would be the temple, and the soul would be the god that was worshipped within. There would be no need for external powers to be self-sufficient!
In theory, he should be able to easily cross the threshold of the third stage and obtain a supernatural power that was comparable to battle aura. It was the true power of lightning that originated from the vitality magnetic field — [Divine Power]!
"The time is ripe. I am not far from becoming a true third stage Extraordinary."
Elvin clenched his fist lightly, and lightning flashed in his palm.
