The Golden Lord has a perverted SSS-rank summoning system!-Chapter 33: Burning Blood Body Enhancement Skill
"Why do you want to go kill goblins, all of a sudden??" Evelyn asked, confused, as they made their way back to the mansion.
"Because I need to level up," Ethan replied honestly.
With the talent upgrade, his base stats had increased significantly, but even so, it wasn’t enough to handle a second-stage warrior like Alaric.
"Is it because of that guard pig? I can kill him myself; you should just—"
"No, I’m going to kill him. Alone, in a fair duel," Ethan replied, drawing an irritated grunt from Evelyn.
"Ugh... you nobles and your useless honor, Father was exactly like that!" Evelyn pouted, crossing her arms.
If that was Ethan’s plan, it did make sense to want to get as strong as possible.
But their training wasn’t enough.
"Alaric is a soldier hardened by over a decade of battle, and I only have three more weeks, until one of us has to die," Ethan muttered.
"I’ve had the best teachers money can buy, but I need real experience and, above all, to reach the second stage."
Hearing that, Evelyn nodded.
Even with identical talents and power, if a young noble trained for ten years by the world’s best teachers were to engage in combat with a veteran soldier who had fought for the same amount of time...
The veteran, without any formal training, could easily crush the noble.
This was the power of experience, of hundreds of near-death experiences, something that could only be gained through fighting.
"That Alaric will probably want to follow us, and Alice won’t like it."
"They don’t need to know, do they?" Ethan’s lips curved, and he gave Evelyn’s butt a pat, grasping it for a brief moment.
They were already inside the Lord’s mansion, so he didn’t hold back.
They could simply slip out for an hour or two under cover of night, kill a few goblins patrolling in the darkness, and use them for training.
Goblins weren’t exactly rare, hunters and woodcutters always used incense to ward them off when passing through the eternal forest.
Without it, it would be nearly impossible to walk for more than a few minutes without being ambushed.
The number of goblins in that land was truly terrifying.
’I’ll need to exterminate them all if I want to create a prosperous territory,’ Ethan repeated to himself.
Not just the three camps around them, he was talking about a complete extermination.
"You two seem to be getting along well, hehehe~~" A sweet, slightly groggy voice echoed.
Ethan turned around quickly while Evelyn gave a startled little jump, pushing his hand away from her ass.
She still hadn’t quite gotten used to that yet.
Alice gave a sincere little laugh at the sight, elegantly covering her pink lips.
"Come on, I’ve already made breakfast." She turned her back, her hips moving in a gentle sway, a ripple spreading across her perfect buttocks, the pure white fabric of her dress hugging every curve.
Ethan admired her for a moment before exchanging glances with Evelyn and then following her in silence.
No woman would willingly share her husband, especially a man like Ethan.
He knew Alice still harbored some bitterness in her heart, but he said nothing and didn’t press the issue.
He would let her speak when she felt the time was right.
In silence, the three of them ate. Soon after, Ethan left Alice and Evelyn alone and went to the office.
Over the course of that week, by completing missions and with the bonuses earned from winning Alice, he had accumulated a total of seven premium tickets, twenty regular tickets, and seven free tickets, automatically generated every twenty-four hours.
On top of all that, there was something else he wanted to take a look at.
[Item: 1x Random Skill Book! (Rank B)
Description: A card that, when torn, will result in a random Rank B skill book, aligned with the host’s class.]
’Hm... I’m a swordsman, so it must be something related to that, right?’ Ethan scratched his chin.
It would be pretty unpleasant if what he received was, in reality, an administrative skill.
It wasn’t a bad thing, but what he needed at that very moment was an unmatched martial skill, not an administrative one.
With a sigh, Ethan pulled out the card and tore it.
Regardless of what skill it was, being a combat skill and Rank B, he was confident it would be superior to anything Alaric might have.
Immediately after being torn, the card rose into the sky, both sides glowing intensely with a golden light.
When the light faded, an item was revealed.
A book of no more than a hundred or a hundred and twenty pages slowly descended toward Ethan.
The young Lord grabbed it, immediately scanning the description, his face filled with anxiety.
[Item: The Principles of the Burning Blood Body Enhancement Skill.
Description: A body enhancement technique created by a fourth-stage expert in a bygone era. The Burning Blood technique increases body temperature, combat senses, and pain resistance.
It was created as a body enhancement technique intended for frontline soldiers and mass deployment.
Effect: +50% to all basic physical attributes, +70% pain reduction.
Duration: 2 minutes.
Cooldown: 5 hours.
Cost: 1 aura point per second. (Scales with the user’s power.)
Rank: B]
"It’s better than I expected..." Ethan gasped softly.
Books containing martial arts techniques weren’t exactly uncommon in that world.
His own family had a massive library filled with such volumes.
Although they weren’t uncommon, they were still strictly controlled by noble families, especially high-level skills.
After all, no one would want to see their secret techniques fall into the hands of peasants, right?
’But this is even more incredible than those secret techniques.’ Ethan smiled.
A skill that could be taught en masse to an entire army.
The two-minute duration seemed short, but in a real battle, it was more than enough to collapse the enemy frontline and secure an absurd tactical advantage.
Suppressing a smile, Ethan opened the book.
