Thoughts flowing.
Streams of ideas interweaving.
Finally, Thor chuckled softly. Without the slightest hesitation, he directly shoved the Life Fruit into his mouth.
Took a bite.
The flesh instantly transformed into a warm current spreading throughout his entire body.
The next moment, Thor only felt an extreme sensation of heat all around him, and the previously indistinct Life Source Power began to quickly grow agitated.
The Life Source Power contained within the Life Fruit was undoubtedly massive. As a main ingredient for High-Level Life Potions, its contained Life Source Power is sufficient to give an Earth Knight a chance to advance to a Sky Knight. Such a vast Life Source Power is almost like an ocean to someone who is not even an Apprentice Knight yet.
Fortunately, the Life Source Power contained within the Life Fruit is extremely gentle.
It does not lead to exploding and dying.
A large amount of Life Source Power, even if it cannot be absorbed, quickly merges into Thor's flesh, used to lay his foundation.
However, even so, the sensation of extreme heat was still unbearable.
Large drops of sweat falling.
Thor's body seemed to have been filled with gas at that moment, an intense discomfort spreading continuously.
Thor gritted his teeth and swallowed the entire fruit in a few bites, then sat cross-legged.
Struggling to gather his thoughts, he began to activate the Knight's Breathing Technique.
The Dressrosa Family's Knight's Skill is called the Eagle Breathing Technique, the most superior breathing technique that also has the best effect on mobilizing Life Source Power.
The moment the breathing technique was used, Thor felt an emptiness before his eyes as grains of Life Source Power within his body quickly gathered towards his chest.
Time passing by second by second.
No idea how much time has passed.
Nor how long he sustained it.
The clothes on Thor's body, soaked with sweat, gradually dried.
When the blood-red moon gradually adorned the sky.
Night descended.
Within the room, Thor suddenly opened his eyes.
And at the moment he opened his eyes, he felt a distinct difference in the entire world.
He could clearly see the tiny dust particles in the air and could also discern the sound of insects chirping outside the window that usually couldn't be heard.
He could even hear the sounds of servants moving in the corridor.
At this moment, the entire world had changed.
No, it wasn't the entire world; it was his perception of the entire world that had undergone an earth-shaking transformation.
His five senses had been enhanced to an unprecedented level.
His body was also undergoing transformation at that moment.
If one could see inside his body, they would find a grain-sized green light point, quietly suspended at the center of his heart, exuding a gentle shimmer, as the blood in the heart was constantly infused, then extending towards the limbs and bones.
And this blood infused by the green light subtly brought changes to the entire body.
Knight.
This is the extraordinary power of this world.
Only those who can condense the Life Seed can be called Apprentice Knights.
Because the power bestowed by the Life Seed is unparalleled; it can subtly change all aspects of the human body—strength, agility, reflexes, perception, everything.
Every Apprentice Knight possesses power unmatched by ordinary people.
Even those who seek refuge with Nobility would enjoy substantial treatment.
In memory, in his father's Knight Order, each Apprentice Knight had an income of ten Silver Coins a month. You should know that an ordinary family of three houses only spends about ten Silver Coins a year, so there is a sky-high difference.
This was why he eventually chose to swallow the Life Fruit.
Perhaps if he handed the Life Fruit to his father, he could stay and be a freeloader.
Yet not to mention that this is just a possibility, it is not certain.
The Dressrosa Family's family rules were extremely strict, so no one could be sure if his father would act accordingly.
Even if it were possible, would transmigrating to this world to become a freeloader really be what he wanted to do?
Extraordinary power.
An exciting world, which transmigrator doesn't carry dreams?
Thor was no exception.
In this scenario, the decision was obvious.
As for his father, possessing a daily intelligence system, if he really had ideas, he believed there would still be opportunities.
A smile appeared on his face.
Thor couldn't help but clench his fist.
"Next, I shall meet my father!"
Muttering to himself, his figure stood up, then called for a servant to assist him in freshening up and changing clothes.
When he walked out of the room again, his figure was exceptionally neat and his temperament had clearly changed.
Walking in the castle, a maid now and then cast a glance.
When the figure passed by, the maids' voices started a discussion.
"Young Master Thor seems different today!"
"Yes, Young Master Thor looks more radiant!"
"Young Master Thor seems much more attractive today!"
...
With the acute hearing of an Apprentice Knight, he could hear the maids' discussion even after leaving.
He wasn't too surprised about this.
Having condensed the Life Seed, the changes from inside to outside would be significant enough for even ordinary people to notice.
This would be even more evident if he became a Knight, unless he could reach higher levels to be able to internalize these changes, which he, as only an Apprentice Knight, couldn't do yet.
However, he didn't need to hide it.
In fact, now it was only two days until he came of age, what he needed was to show his father, Engel, Count Dressrosa, the master of Dressrosa Castle, his strength.
Stepping forward.
His figure arrived at the third floor of the castle.
This was the highest point in Dressrosa Castle and the usual residence of Count Engel Dressrosa.
Usually, at this hour, Count Engel Dressrosa would be in this study reading.
This day was no exception.
Count Engel Dressrosa was in front of the bookshelf, simply browsing the book "Continent Comprehensive History" in his hands.
But no one noticed that the Lord Count's thoughts hadn't stayed on the Continent Comprehensive History, but drifted elsewhere.
"It's been ninety years!"
A gentle voice sounded, carrying a bit of sigh, and a deep worry.
And after the sigh.
Peace returned to the room once again.
Until...
"Knock, knock!"
The door emitted a light sound.
Followed by the voice of the butler Charlie.
"Lord Count, Young Master Thor requests to see you!"
The sound wasn't loud, yet it brought Count Engel Dressrosa's thoughts back from their flight.
"Thor?"
"Come in!"
Count Engel Dressrosa slightly furrowed his brow. For his ninth son, he hadn't paid much attention; after all, his talent was really too poor, almost the least among all his sons. But after thinking for a moment, he still responded.
