Chapter 1020: The First Talent Brand Is Born! (3)

“After pondering for a long time, unable to come up with any solutions, I realized my knowledge was too limited, my realm too low, and I couldn’t even touch such a complex level… So, I decided to go to sleep.”
“Coincidentally, I hadn’t slept in a long time due to my research on bloodline runes, so I slept for seven days and seven nights, even getting the rare chance to dream.”
“In my dream, I seemed to see an iron dragon with crossing wings, covered in rust!”
“There seemed to be many spots of light on the iron dragon’s body, these spots flickered rhythmically and orderly… It was like the nodes of a wizard’s spell model, and the spell runes that shimmered at these nodes!”
“At that moment, I suddenly had a bold idea. When I woke up, I recorded this idea.”
“I tried to replicate the bloodline runes according to the form, posture, and spots of light of the iron dragon in my dream, then, I used blood qi as the driving fuel, with the Bloodline Seed as the driving core. A very simple transcendent ability was born.”
“This transcendent ability, with power similar to a small wizard’s cantrip, was not worth mentioning.”
“However, I believe that as we decipher more Shielding Runes and continue to optimize them, eventually, this transcendent ability will be no less than a wizard’s formal spell.”
“Of course, with the blood qi level of a grand knight, it’s obviously difficult to perform such a complex ability. If forced, it may lead to depleted vitality.”
“So my next plan is to advance to an official wizard within ten years and become a Blood Awakening Knight within fifteen years.”
“I believe, Commander, as you said, the path of Talent Brands is entirely feasible!”
Andrew spoke passionately, his eyes shining brightly!
Levi thought to himself.
“Are you a reincarnation of Mendeleev or Descartes, or perhaps Kepler reborn?”
“How else could you make research discoveries in your dreams? Did the iron dragon send you a dream?”
Actually, Andrew’s approach had crossed Levi’s mind before.
Over a hundred years ago, when Levi first encountered the spell model of the cantrip “Insect Controlling Technique,” he realized the similarities between the nodes of wizard spell models and the small figures on the Knight Breathing Technique inheritance diagram.
The practice of the Knight Breathing Technique involved specific postures, movements, breathing rhythms, and secret medicines to enhance physical fitness and refine bloodlines. It taught knights to mimic colossal beasts, tapping into their bloodline power and laying the foundation.
To harness these bloodline powers and extend abilities similar to innate spells from this foundation, knights needed to observe real beasts closely. They had to study their every move, posture, and the points of exertion when using their innate abilities.
Then, they could manifest these patterns in the form of Talent Brands, granting knights their own innate abilities!
This process was akin to the epiphanies experienced by some in the myths and legends of various civilizations, where individuals observed battles between “gods and beasts” or “immortals” and suddenly grasped some profound truth.
In Levi’s view, Andrew’s realization was similar to such an epiphany.
It was something encountered rather than sought after.
This lad was definitely favored by fortune!
Being a Child of the Elements was one thing, but having such insight as a knight was exceptional.
Levi increasingly realized he had struck gold with Andrew!
Though Levi had laid out many foundational theories and ideas, he was too busy to participate much in deciphering bloodline runes and constructing Talent Brands.
He hadn’t expected Andrew to achieve results so quickly.
The founding purpose of the Dusk Holy Temple was precisely for this day.
Levi created a secure and stable living environment for the temple, and in return, it contributed the collective wisdom back to him.
Now, it seemed this model was gradually proving successful.
After toiling for a century to establish the Holy Temple, Levi could finally see the fruits of his labor. All those efforts hadn’t been in vain!
However, one Andrew wasn’t enough; he needed more talent like him!
Talent!
It’s the core of any force’s thriving development!
Take the wizard civilization, for example: “Klein,” who quantified spiritual force and spell power; “Rowling,” who quantified bloodlines; “Caslot,” who quantified combat; “Gargamel,” the master of sealing arts; “Franken,” the pioneer of Monster Studies…
Under the brilliance of Sauron, these entities continued to shine in their own right!
With stars shining brightly, civilizations can progress!
Sauron, as powerful as he was, capable of slaying gods, still had eighteen fellow practitioners, each following different paths. That’s the essence of collaboration and mutual learning, the true path.
Reality wasn’t as lofty as dragons, even in the transcendent world, even with true gods present. No one could be all-knowing and perfect.
As wizards say, “The truth can only be approached infinitely, but can never be fully grasped!”
At this moment, Levi truly understood why nations in his past life were so eager for genuine talent.
Andrew, that lad, was naturally inclined toward research. It wasn’t just because of his talent, but because of his heart’s dedication to the cause!
“You’ve done well, but be cautious with these experiments. Using your own body as a test subject, mistakes could be fatal,” Levi cautioned.
“Thank you for your concern, commander,” Andrew quickly replied.
Dinos couldn’t help but feel amazed. “Is this what genius looks like? Is this what Children of the Elements are like?” He felt like a outdated old man.
