Carl sat upon the grand chair, eyes closed, his body engulfed in darkness, his aura entirely contained.
He hadn't moved for quite some time.
Lula watched the swaying pendulum beneath the grandfather clock, her gaze flickering, glancing occasionally toward Carl.
Evidently, her emotions were in turmoil.
If the Furious Potion really worked...
Freedom Port never lacked peak-level Knights, and the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce had many such experts as well.
"Don't rush," Emma said in a dull voice. "Breaking through to the realm of a Great Knight takes time. You should stay calm, like your father."
"Yes," Lula took a deep breath. "Mother."
Emma appeared irritable, like a firecracker that could go off at any moment, but it was just her straightforward personality. In times of great crisis, she was actually able to remain composed and collected.
The grandfather clock chimed melodiously. The pitch-black night outside was slowly beginning to reveal the faint light of dawn.
A loud noise came from behind. The source of this content ɪs N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
A messenger hurried over.
"Who is it?" Lula shot to her feet, asking excitedly, "How is the situation?"
"It's Ma Qi." The messenger shook his head and continued, "His breakthrough failed. His body suffered a backlash from the potion. He's currently unconscious, but his life isn't in danger."
"...I see." The excitement on Lula's face slowly dissipated. She nodded. "Have the Doctor treat him. Let him rest well when he wakes up, and tell him not to worry about other matters."
The messenger acknowledged.
Carl opened his eyes, his expression unchanged.
The Furious Potion simply increased the chance of a breakthrough; it wasn't a miracle cure and came with significant side effects. Failure to break through was nothing out of the ordinary.
Just as the messenger was about to retreat, another person came rushing in.
"Madam! Miss!" The newcomer cried out, his face alight with joy. "Success! Knight Audis succeeded in his breakthrough after taking the potion! He's now... he's now a Great Knight!"
Lula's figure flashed, appearing before the newcomer. "What did you say? Say it again!"
"Miss," the person's face changed, stammering, "Knight Audis succeeded in his breakthrough after taking the potion. He's now... now a Great Knight."
"Good!" Before Lula could speak, Emma, seated behind, had already shouted in approval, laughing heartily. "HAHA... Excellent!"
"Yes," Lula's body trembled slightly, her voice hoarse. "This is truly wonderful!"
Taking a deep breath, she spoke softly, "Let Audis rest and recover. He shouldn't rush to come out. First, he needs to stabilize his Great Knight realm."
"Mr. Karl," Turning around, Lula's eyes were shining. "We should have a proper talk now."
The Dragon King Chamber of Commerce had three types of supreme Dharma Seals.
The strongest, of which only one existed, was the supreme Dharma Seal on Dragon King Zimorman himself: Dragon King's Fury. Once activated, this seal could significantly enhance the user's strength, easily achieving the feat of defeating an enemy of a higher level. Zimorman had managed to bring the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce to become one of the top three forces of Freedom Port, with Dragon King's Fury playing an indispensable role.
Of course, this supreme Dharma Seal could not possibly be given to Carl.
The second type of supreme Dharma Seal was named Storm, of which there was also only one. This seal could summon a storm with an extremely wide attack range, but relatively speaking, its lethality was not as high.
It could cause the ground to shudder, creating thrusts within a certain range, akin to a mix of earth and gravity witchcraft. Its lethality was closely correlated with the user's strength. The stronger the user, the greater the power of this seal.
Lula took out an ice crystal-carved jade box, placing it solemnly in front of Carl.
She also picked up a bottle of Furious Potion.
"Go!" Emma gestured. "Whether you succeed or not, as long as you've tried your best, there will be no regrets."
"Yes," Lula nodded. "Mother."
She tightened her grip on the potion bottle and slowly stepped back.
Carl looked down at the jade box in front of him. This special box was capable of preserving a Dharma Seal for a long time.
Supreme Dharma Seal: Earth Shattering!
