Chapter 69{ First Level }

  In Ian’s shop.

  Rose received a radiant beauty, " Noble Luna " Rose was surprised and hurried toward her leaving the other customers.

  Luna nodded and looked at the shop where rows of different equipment were displayed " Where is your master ? ".

  " In seclusion my lady, shall I inform him of something ? ".

  " Tell him that I am waiting for him outside, I will remain until he comes out " Luna said and began examining the items.

  Good craftsmanship equal to the craftsmanship of our family but this is not what I came for - she thought calmly.

  Inside the forging room, sweat filled Ian’s body as he approached the First Level, while his body screamed in pain from the excess energy he had received this apart from his mind which split into two parts one absorbing the energy and the other refining it and storing it for the first breakthrough.

  He did not rest.

  He wanted the breakthrough as fast as possible because the competition will soon enter its second part where he will fight elites of the Second Level / Beginner, there will no longer be room then for fighters of the Dust Level let alone him who is not even in this classification.

  Aside from the competition Ian wanted power to protect himself, the idea that his training was low left him unable to protect himself and his possessions, if not for his mysterious background he might have been killed by now.

  The energy reached its peak to envelop the entire Dantian.

  The Dantian began to solidify and emerge from its illusory state to become something much stronger.

  The energy that had reached its peak was rapidly receding to strengthen this Dantian and transform it into a more cohesive form and hundreds of times stronger to withstand much stronger and purer energy.

  Booooooooooooooooooom

  The sound of a powerful explosion echoed and then Ian reached the First Level, it did not stop there as Ian saw something strange, the energy that appeared again after the Dantian solidified was no longer gray but had become completely red.

  What is wrong ?! , I previously reached the Second Level in World of Wonders and formed the pillars and the energy was completely white at Level Zero, First and even Second, but now gray then red, it seems there are many things that I do not know - Ian thought but he was happy with the result.

  The breakthrough means he became about ten times stronger and can fight for a much longer period.

  ** You have arrived ** Suddenly a voice reached Ian’s mind.

  " Supreme !!!!!! " Ian was shocked.

  ** Hahahahahahahaha, you arrived much earlier and your power is much weaker but it does not matter I will wait for you **

  " Wait for me ! , why ? " Ian asked but the reply was not as he expected.

  Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

  *** Existence in the Supreme gives you an urgent mission ** Return here upon reaching the Fifth Level ***.

  Punishments :- Unknown.

  Rewards :- Unknown.

  This existence will kill me one day - Ian thought and left the room.

  " Sir, the Noble* Luna has been waiting for you for a while " Rose said as soon as Ian came out.

  { Status not Power }

  Ian looked at her and nodded " Welcome here, what do you need ? ".

  Luna stared at him from top to bottom - It is the same name only but no aura or anything special, in any case I did not come here for this, Luna said " Do you have a private place ? ".

  Ian nodded and gestured for her to follow him.

  " Do you not have another room ? " Luna frowned at the strange atmosphere of the room.

  " I am a blacksmith and I like to be in such places ".

  " Blacksmith or merchant ? ".

  Ian smiled and did not reply " I wonder why you are here ? " although he knew her purpose.

  " A deal, I wonder how many Death Curse weapons you have ? We will buy them all ! " Luna said.

  " It seems you obtain information quickly " Ian smiled and was not surprised.

  " General Kyos is married to our family " Luna admitted.

  Ian expected something like this and was not bothered in general this apart from the fact that he still has a set of them but he will not sell them ! , he will sell something else " Beauty, I have a special element !, I wonder can you afford it ? ".

  " Of course, we have everything you need even Dao Fruits " Luna said confidently.

  As one of the four great families in the city ( Chard Family ) naturally they would possess several Dao Fruits in fact honestly the size of their warehouse would leave everyone stunned at the sight of it, General Kyos was one of its sons ( not completely ) and this is only one from a huge family numbering in the thousands so imagine all the sons of the family with all their contributions and then you will know the size of their warehouse.

  Ian smiled " Believe me even if you possess the original Dao Fruits they would not be enough for my treasure ".

  " Let me see " Luna raised her eyebrow at the mysterious treasure that her entire family does not dare to afford !.

  Ian took a fruit out of his ring and placed it gently on the table as if it were glass that might shatter.

  " This thing ? " Luna screamed.

  " Longevity Fruit grants a full 100 years ".

  The girl’s eyes widened " Impossible, only the main cities display this thing and this is rare even throughout their history and it does not possess this amount of years ".

  " Good that you know its value, now do you possess what to trade for it ? " Ian smiled.

  Luna frowned and felt embarrassed by her previous stance but only for a moment and regained her composure and thought before saying " I will return to the family then come back to you, I promise my second arrival will please you ".

  " Thank you but " Ian suddenly smiled " I will not deal with anyone except you ".

  Luna was surprised and nodded " As you wish " then left in haste.

  This item was desired by everyone especially the four great families.

  Why??????????????

  Because they have ancestors, tremendous existences approaching death, these existences represent the power of the family and its dominance and even its current and future wealth, losing one is extremely heavy and will open greedy eyes upon the family like a pack of wolves looking at a flock of sheep, but the treasures capable of prolonging their lives even the rare alchemical pills cause them harm, only natural fruits are the sole product pure from all of this, pure and beneficial to the extreme without any side effects, in fact with a sufficient number an ancestor can return to being a child again while retaining his power and experiences and everything, just imagine it!!!!.

  Ian smiled, took off his clothes and returned to work, he did not intend to stay here long because he wanted to return to his home especially with the approaching Petal Fall event and for this he will seize the opportunity as much as he can to obtain the greatest possible benefit and immediately the metals came out of his ring one after another.

  Yellow Iron.

  Red Iron.

  Mithril ( an ancient nearly extinct metal )

  Raw Steel.

  Cold Metal

  The first two were in the largest quantity while the rest especially the Mithril were about five pieces only which Ian saved for his final work.

  Ian.

  Blacksmith

  Rare ( Mastery ) ( Intermediate Level, Progress Rate 42% )

  Ian spent much of his time on this profession hoping to benefit from these metals one day, there are still some in the village and this is what is supplied daily from the monsters and the mine but it is for making farming tools and woodcutting axes and pickaxes and other tools that help the village not weapons since they rely entirely on Death weapons.

  And now this bears fruit.

  The next day arrived, and it was time for the competition again with a new look and a winning card in Ian’s ring.
