n five days they would be able to return to Blue Star. They were already very close to Blue Star, pirates wouldn't venture this deep to hijack them, unless they wanted to die, so there was no need to..."What's the reason"

Connor's eyebrows furrowed as he asked.

He reminded me, through Leia Haney, to visit my mother's family in the Eastern Continent.

Ripple didn't feel like explaining, so she just said what Leia had told her.

"I got it, be careful yourself!"

After severing ties with his son, Connor's face turned ashen. Emilio’s words were too suggestive, and he struggled to pretend he didn't understand.

After a heavy sigh, he already regretted it. He shouldn't have let the Kenny family get close to and nurture Emilio in the first place. Now their relationship wouldn't be so strained.

Besides the issue of Emilio's contracted phantom, this is a big problem. Although he clearly talked to the other party, Emilio doesn't trust him and even found an excuse to leave Lava City with Elder Evan.

Connor rubbed his temples, preparing to wait for Elder Evan to return and inquire about the situation before saying anything.

Just then, a guard came to report.

"Master, the Second Elder and Young Master are back."

Connor immediately went out after hearing that.

Far away in Palo City, the ripples from his separation from his father finally reached Raul's doorstep.

"Young Master Lian, is there something"

"How have you been considering what I mentioned to you yesterday"

"I didn't expect Young Master Lian to be so anxious."

Raul felt a little pleased, but he still smiled and teased her before inviting Ripple into the room.

"I've already contacted my father, and he supports me. However, he wants two doses of the detoxification potion for the three elders responsible for potions in the family to review. Since we're selling it to the public, it has to be effective! The Rhoden family needs to take responsibility for the potions they sell."

Moreover, I have another idea. I hope you can make two upgraded versions of the detoxifier."

Ripple said seriously.

How to upgrade the version

Raul asked directly.

"Your detoxifier is very helpful for minors, I have a lot of experience with this. The earlier it is taken, the more it helps shape the strength of the body, so I hope you can make some improvements so that children between 8 and 18 years old can also take it."

"Another aspect is a strengthened version of this potion, which is primarily designed for knights and mages who possess contract beasts. This potion focuses on enhancing soul power. With powerful soul strength, the contract beasts will also become significantly more powerful."

Ripple directly stated her thoughts.

"Young Master Lian, are you planning to use the Soul-Eater Flower in my hand as well!"

Raul put a hand to his forehead.

"Raul, think of your future achievements and the gold coins flying towards you! I have great confidence in you!"

Ripples blinked her violet eyes and patted Raoul's shoulder, giving him a glimpse of the future.

Raul thought about the pie drawn by Young Master Lian, and finally agreed. Mainly, improving the quality of potions was also what he pursued.

Then Raul decisively ushered Ripples out of his room:

"I'm going to go into seclusion for a while to research the upgraded version you mentioned. I won't be looking at your Knight Rank evaluations, and I wish you all the best."

Ripples watched the door slam shut with a "bang," touched his nose, then went back to his room.

Five days later, Ripple set off to participate in her own knight's ranking match. Besides Leia and the others, Corlia and her mother also accompanied her this time.

When signing up, Ripple used her Bronze Knight's insignia, allowing her to only participate in the Silver Knight level tournament. Only after passing the Silver Knight tournament and obtaining a Silver insignia could she register for the Gold Knight level tournament.

So the first silver knight-level sparring match was very easy for Ripple. She didn't use much of her internal power, just relying on her divine power to counter. After five rounds, she defeated her opponent and successfully earned the Silver Medal.

After receiving the Silver Medal, she immediately signed up to compete in the Golden Knight Tournament.

The man in charge of the Knight's Association registration was a middle-aged man. He frowned, looking at Ripple and then at the silver medal she offered, still warm from being freshly minted. Especially when he saw Ripple's name, a flicker of disgust crossed his eyes, and his tone became noticeably colder.

"Lynn Rodman, are you sure you want to continue participating in the Golden Knight ranking tournament"

Yes!

"Let me explain to you, during the duel, no external force or potions are allowed. Once caught, your knight rank will be lowered, and you will also be punished."

Ripples raised an eyebrow, not remembering offending this person. She then looked into the other's eyes with her lavender gaze and said in a calm voice:

"I know."

"Please pay one hundred gold coins."

The middle-aged man, despite the ripples' reminder, remained unchanged in his resolve. He didn't offer further persuasion; it was just routine for him. In case this young master should pin the blame of failure on him later, he didn't want to take the fall.

The Golden Knight's arena had few challengers, so there was no need to queue. After half an hour, Ripples could enter the duel with her number card and find the corresponding dueling ground.

"Young Master Lian, actually you don't need to be so anxious. You can wait until the next assessment year. By then you will be an adult and will have your own contract beast. Your chances of success will be much greater."

Liliana thought for a moment, then still spoke in a soft voice, counseling him.

"Madame Lillian, please rest assured, I'm just trying. If I don't reach it, I won't force it."

"But your opponents all have contract Phantasmal Beasts to assist them. Phantasmal Beasts are also considered part of the Golden Knights' strength. Since you are underage, facing opponents with Phantasmal Beasts would be quite difficult."

Liliana found Ripples a bit too pompous and tried to speak in a more roundabout way.

"Don't worry, madam, I have a plan."

After registering at the medium-sized sparring arena, she entered the center of the arena through the side door. Leah and the others went to the stands.

After the ripples appeared, everyone in the stands whispered amongst themselves. After all, Ripples was too young and didn't have a contract beast, so no one had high hopes for her.

However, some people saw the latest roster of the battle and discovered that Ripple was from the Rhoden family. Curiosity sparked, they began gossiping about Ripple's identity with those around them.

Soon after the ripples settled, a golden-armored female knight rode her horse towards her.

"The Golden Knight, Helena, is testing Lian Rodman."

A golden-haired knight with deep features, calmly introduced herself as Helena.

"Please give me your guidance, Sir Helena."

The ripple performed a knightly salute, then drew his newly acquired sword and parried Helena's attack with a raised hand.

Helena didn't let up on her opponent simply because they were from the Rhodenman family, nor did she remind them that they hadn't even prepared a warhorse before stepping onto the field. In her eyes, this Lian Rhodenman was just here to broaden their horizons, so she made up her mind to end the fight quickly and decisively.

After deflecting Helena's attack, Ripples flipped over and rolled directly to the side of her horse's legs. She formed a fist with her left hand and struck the horse's belly hard, causing the unprotected warhorse to rear back and fall to the ground, forcing Helena to dismount and fight her on equal terms.suring and heartfelt answer.Then I will continue to arrange for people to keep an eye on the Sūnu Palace.After the Tasker ended their conversation with their communicator, they opened their eyes and r...
