In Wushan Town, a ray of sunlight shone into a small room where a baby was placed in a cradle. An old woman beside her rocked the cradle and hummed a nursery rhyme.
"Baruch! I'm actually called Baruch? The first generation Dragonblood Warrior Baruch, the founder of the Baruch family, Linley's ancestor?!" In the cradle, Baruch, who was only seven months old, had a thousand thoughts racing through his mind. Over the past seven months, he had eaten, slept, and listened to others chat, and had understood the language of this world to a certain extent.
From what others had said, Baruch learned that this world was one where magic and aura coexisted. The town he was in was called Wushan Town, a relatively remote town in the Fenlai Kingdom, located near the Magic Beast Mountains.
Upon learning this information, Baruch immediately thought of the world of the Coiling Dragon!
Wushan Town, the Warcraft Mountains, the Kingdom of Fenlai... No matter how stupid Baruch was, he knew that the world he was in was most likely the Panlong World.
"It's been 4530 years since the start of the Yulan Calendar, which means there are still over five thousand years before Lin Lei was born. Have I traveled to the wrong time?" The thought that it was now 4530 years since the start of the Yulan Calendar made Baruch feel gloomy. Lin Lei's era was the most exciting one, and he had plenty of opportunities to seize. But now, in 4530 years since the start of the Yulan Calendar, everything felt so unfamiliar.
Over the past seven months, he hasn't heard of the term 'Holy Alliance', indicating that it hasn't been established yet. Perhaps even the first Pope of the Holy See hasn't been born yet.
"The words in my mind are undoubtedly 'Dragon Blood Secrets'. I don't know how Beirut imprinted 'Dragon Blood Secrets' into my soul. Alas, I can't recognize a single word, so I can't even practice." Whenever I close my eyes, many words appear in my mind involuntarily. Those words are crooked and have no aesthetic sense at all. Upon careful calculation, there are three thousand words, but Baruch doesn't recognize a single one of them.
It was already challenging for him to understand the language of the world in just seven months, so asking him to learn to read would be too much. Besides, during these seven months, he had never seen anyone write.
"The Dragonblood Warrior can only cultivate the Dragonblood Secret Scripture, and cannot cultivate other Aura Secret Scriptures. The ancients said that one should start practicing martial arts early, and the higher the starting point, the farther one can see. I need to find an opportunity to learn the written language," Baruch opened his small eyes, his eyes rolling around, and he made a secret resolution.
On Earth, he was just a depraved youth who knew no martial arts. He had watched quite a few TV shows and movies, but none of that was of any use. Cultivating Douqi is not as simple as it sounds. Otherwise, this world wouldn't be one where the strong reign supreme.
Of course, Baruch was fortunate that his father in this lifetime, Hori, was a Level Seven warrior, the only one of his kind in the entire town of Wushan. Even though Hori was just a commoner and not a noble, his status in Wushan was quite high. Even the lord of Wushan, Viscount Gerry, had to show him some respect.
So, it's not difficult for Baruch to learn to read and write!
As spring turned into autumn, Baruch soon reached his first birthday. By then, he had already learned to walk and talk. Most importantly, a month ago, Baruch had finally mastered the script of the Yulan Continent and begun practicing the Dragon Blood Secret Scripture.
"Damn, what a bullshit 'Dragon Blood Secret Codex', it doesn't have any technical content at all." Baruch sat cross-legged in his room, with his eyes slightly closed, practicing according to the descriptions in the 'Dragon Blood Secret Codex'. However, over the past three days, Baruch realized that he still couldn't sense the qi!
Warrior, only by perceiving the sensation of qi can one harness and strengthen it to form fighting qi. If one cannot even perceive the sensation of qi, then there's no point in talking about fighting qi.
Suddenly, a warm current emerged from within the body, but it quickly vanished without a trace!
"It's aura! Haha, I told you, I, Baruch, am a first-generation Dragonblood Warrior. Although I'm not a divine beast, the Azure Dragon, my bloodline is not inferior to that of the Azure Dragon clan leader, Gessresen. How could I possibly not be able to cultivate aura?" The generation of that aura made Baruch's eyes light up, and he growled excitedly. As long as he comprehended the aura, cultivating aura would be a matter of course.
After venting for a while, Baruch calmed down and closed his eyes to start practicing the "Dragon Blood Secret Scripture". He saw that air currents were constantly generated in his body, and then they merged and grew stronger. Within just three hours, Baruch discovered that he had cultivated a fighting aura!
"Douqi, the hallmark of a Level One Warrior!"!
Although this aura is very small, it marks that Baruch has become a Level One Warrior! Baruch has a delusion that as long as he uses this aura, he can exert a force of thirty jin!
"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! It's truly worthy of being called the 'Dragon Blood Codex'. As long as I'm not too lazy, reaching the rank of a Level 9 warrior will be just a matter of time for me, Baruch!" Baruch cultivated his aura, feeling incredibly excited. He noticed that the aura within his body was instinctively strengthening and expanding. In other words, even if Baruch no longer deliberately practiced and just enjoyed eating, drinking, and playing every day, his aura would continue to grow stronger all the time.
In the Yulan Continent, it's a world where true power reigns supreme! Magic and aura, mages and warriors! If one wants to become strong, they must either cultivate aura to become a warrior or cultivate magic to become a mage!
As long as you are strong enough, even if you come from a common background, you can still hold a noble title. Furthermore, if you are a Saint Warrior or Saint Mage, you can easily establish a kingdom.
"In the original novel, Baruch practiced in a dazed manner and still made a big name for himself. He became a middle-ranked god after practicing for five thousand years, and he was a middle-ranked god with extremely strong strength! I have the advantage of foresight, so I will never be weaker than the original Baruch!" Baruch thought to himself!
This world is fascinating, filled with magic and aura, with mages and warriors, with humans and magical beasts. Yet, this Yulan Continent is merely an ordinary material plane!
Thinking about the vast and boundless four major high-level planes and seven major divine planes, countless divine realm powerhouses, countless Seven-star Demons, Shura-level powerhouses, and the lofty main gods, even Baruch felt a yearning and his blood boiling.
In Baruch's mind, the so-called four ultimate warriors were hardly worth mentioning. They possessed immense raw power, but it was merely due to their bloodline advantages. Ultimately, those four ultimate warriors had only grasped the profound, and they were not even at the limit of the sacred realm!
Think about Lin Lei. His bloodline wasn't high, but he climbed to the pinnacle step by step. When he was in the Holy Realm, he already possessed the ultimate strength of the Holy Realm. When he went to the Tomb of Gods, his strength was already higher than that of Fane and other powerhouses at the limit of the Holy Realm!
"According to the 'Secret Code of Dragon Blood', a Dragon Blood Warrior can exist in three states: human form, half-dragon form, and full-dragon form. In the fully dragonized state, the Dragon Blood Warrior's entire body is covered with green dragon scales, and even their forehead sprouts a dragon horn," Baruch said with his eyes slightly closed. "However, I am only one year old now, and my body is too fragile. If I were to dragonize, the damage to my body would be too great."
When a Dragonblood Warrior reaches the rank of First-Level Warrior, they can activate the secret techniques of the Dragonblood Codex to undergo dragon transformation, which can be further divided into two types: half-dragon transformation and full dragon transformation.
So, now Baruch can undergo dragon transformation!
It's just that Baruch is only one year old now, and his body is too fragile. He's worried that once he transforms into a dragon, his body might not be able to withstand it! You know, the body is the foundation of everything. If it's injured, it will take a long time to heal. Baruch doesn't want to pay such a high price.
After all, he is only one year old, and he has plenty of time to wait for his own growth.
This year in the world had made him realize that the Yulan continent at this time had not yet taken on the pattern it would have after five thousand years. It was still an era where the martial gods and the high priests competed. Although the Holy See had considerable influence, it had only just begun to develop, and the Holy Alliance had not even appeared. At least, as far as Baruch knew, the Fenlai Kingdom was an independent kingdom and had not submitted to the Holy See.
On the contrary, the Holy See and the Kingdom of Fenlai are currently in a cooperative stance. The Kingdom of Fenlai allows the Holy See to conduct missionary work, and the Pope of the Holy See, Ernst, established the Ernst Academy of Magic in Fenlai City just a month ago.
Actually, at this time, Pope Ernst of the Church of Light had already gained immense fame on the Yulan Continent. It was rumored that the most powerful Holy Mage of the Light Elemental Magic in the Yulan Continent was Ernst!
Therefore, the establishment of the Ernst Academy caused a huge stir in the Kingdom of Finlay at that time, and even the remote town of Wushan was aware of this event.
"Well, since I can't be in the same era as Linley, I'll be in the same era as Ernst, Farn, and Desley, and compete with them!" Baruch muttered to himself.
Because it has only been about a thousand years since the disaster brought by the arrival of the powerful beings from the other dimension, this era is still one where heroes emerge in abundance.
After all, thousands of years ago, powerful beings from other dimensions descended, resulting in the deaths of countless god-level powerhouses. Among them were formidable Seven-Star Demons like the Purple-Blood Demon, and even quite a few Twelve-Winged Angels. The corpses of these Divine Realm powerhouses might be discovered in any corner by some powerful individual. Therefore, it's impossible to fathom the number of Saint Realm powerhouses across the entire Yulan Continent!
"With the Dragon Blood Codex, I have a much higher starting point. Moreover, I am a first-generation Dragon Blood Warrior with a highly potent bloodline, enabling me to cultivate at an extremely fast speed. I believe I can become a Saint Warrior before the age of forty," Baruch thought.
He never thought he would become a mage, because Baruch had learned from his previous life that Dragonblood Warriors were born warriors, but their affinity for elements was not high. Since they had not undergone the ritual of the ancestral hall, it was extremely difficult for them to become mages.
His self-identification is as a warrior, a powerful warrior!
