Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Su Li’s advancement breakthrough was certainly a significant improvement, but compared to Hilude, it seemed insignificant.

Upon advancing to the Champion level, Hilude acquired new bloodline abilities and divine magic.

They are [Blazing Blood·Golden Radiance Extreme Shield: When fully activating her internal light attribute bloodline, she can form a powerful shield similar to an arcane shield, resisting a large amount of damage from enemies on the battlefield].

[Divine Magic: Divine Guiding Arrow: The Sun Goddess Violet allows her followers to use the power of the bow and arrow to thwart opponents and gain an advantage. After using this divine magic, Violet’s followers can shoot a spiritual arrow imbued with Violet’s divine power, capable of accurately hitting the target and even piercing through magic protection. The later damage to this target by the followers of the Sun Goddess will all slightly include the Sun Goddess’s divine damage.]

Her Blazing Blood ability does not merely provide her with a layer of shield; it enhances significantly with Hilude’s strength improvement. At the Divine Chosen level, with more vigorous bloodline energy, the Golden Radiance Extreme Shield is like a Golden Bell Shield, protecting her in all directions, making her defense extremely strong. During the activation of the bloodline ability, she can almost ignore most attacks.

And at the Divine Chosen level, her advancement is even greater!

All divine chosen level individuals gain the same bloodline ability, [Blazing Blood·Divine Power Descent], upon breaking through.

Divine Chosen Knights can activate this powerful ability in two ways, transforming into a powerful divine general. The first way is by forcibly surging blood, praying at the start of the battle to allow divine grace to enter their body, invigorating their bloodline, and then immediately activating this ability at the start of the battle.

The advantage of forcibly surging blood to activate this ability is that the divine general state lasts longer, and the combat power is more formidable. The downside is that after forcibly surging blood, they are basically unable to use other bloodline abilities. Even if they cancel the divine general state, continuing to use bloodline abilities carries a high risk of body explosion unless they reach the legendary level, where legendary knights can act at will and activate the divine power descent state at any time. It is even rumored that legendary knights can obtain the power of the divine general state even in a normal state.

Of course, as Divine Chosen Knights, there is a second way to activate the divine general state, which is through fierce combat and slaying a large number of enemies, putting oneself in a state of bloodline excitement and completely covered in blood.

In this case, Divine Chosen Knights can freely activate [Blazing Blood·Divine Power Descent]. However, the downside of this activation method is the short duration. As the Blazing Blood cycles too long in the divine general state, the excited blood gradually cools down, and the divine general state is terminated after a few minutes. The advantage is that by continuing the slaughter, it is possible to smoothly activate the second, third, and even fourth or fifth divine general state.

A noteworthy point is that Divine Chosen Knights cannot use other Blazing Blood abilities in the divine general state. Using other Blazing Blood abilities will terminate the divine general state prematurely. Only at the legendary level can they freely use various abilities in the divine general state.

But no matter what, the divine general state of a Divine Chosen Knight is their strongest manifestation. Perhaps in a normal state, a Divine Chosen Knight might find it troublesome if besieged by several Champion Knights. But once they activate [Blazing Blood·Divine Power Descent], the battle becomes a crushing one, and if Champion Knights cannot escape in time, a Divine Chosen Knight can annihilate them with one strike.

The only problem Su Li currently faces is the lack of a powerful weapon worthy of Hilude’s Divine Chosen level strength.

Once she activates the divine general state, the rune sword in her hand becomes too small, requiring her to rely on physical combat like a Giant Dragon.

At least a rare level weapon is needed, one that possesses the ability to change size at will, like Skaven Blood Fury’s Chain Axe, which adjusts with its body size change.

But not all rare level weapons have this ability; it depends on the runes inside and the material used during forging.

Before Hilude possesses a rare level weapon, her transformation into the divine general state serves to complement her divine magic, unlocking the enemy’s fear.

The divine magic she acquires at the Divine Chosen level is [Terrifying Divine Fury: Can project Violet’s anger onto their face, causing any enemy successful in melee attacking them to likely be dominated by fear].

In the divine general state, Knights cannot use [Blazing Blood] abilities but can freely use [Divine Magic] abilities.

After Hilude reaches the Divine Chosen Knight stage, she has three [Blazing Blood] abilities and three [Divine Magic] abilities.

In terms of skill transformation, she might not be weaker than a high elf magician.

The battle between a Five Ring Mage and a Divine Chosen Knight may not necessarily yield an advantage.

Furthermore, as long as a Green Dragon grows to the young adult stage, it naturally possesses the strength of a Five Ring Mage while also having the melee combat capability of a Divine Chosen Knight.

In this world, dragons are masters of Dragon Language Magic and are the greatest masters of the Secrets of Arcane Magic.

Defeating a Green Dragon is truly not an easy task.

Thus, even though Hilude has grown into a Divine Chosen Knight, the Hesse Territory still dares not be negligent, and military construction is equally urgent.

The arrival of the Dwarves greatly alleviated the previous equipment shortage predicament in the Hesse Territory.
