Chapter 303: 100 Points
The brother and sister came from the heartland of the Duke’s territory, born into a knightly family, possessing a complete knightly heritage.
The older brother is Kent, the younger sister is Jima.
If the Outer Gods hadn’t sent their followers to invade, they would definitely have lived well with their strength.
Of course,
Now all that is irrelevant.
Even though both siblings are already Legendary Knights, they are still uneasy, living a precarious existence.
“Pitter-patter…”
The fine rain fell like a curtain, making the valley hazy.
The two huddled under an overhanging rock, applying ointment while observing the environment.
Besides them, there were over twenty other people in the valley, nearly half of whom were Legendary Knights.
“Black Wolf Bandits!”
Kent’s gaze fell on one of them, and he whispered:
“That person should be Blood Wolf, the leader of the Black Wolf Bandits, cruel and bloodthirsty. I didn’t expect he would be captured as well.”
His younger sister, Jima, nodded.
“And the Sand Bandits, that group has always been unruly, but this time they are obediently following orders.”
Seemingly dissatisfied with the siblings’ inefficiency, Karl made another move, capturing over twenty more people.
Among them were Blood Wolf, the leader of the Black Wolf Bandits, and the heads of the Sand Bandits…
Whether intentionally or not, besides the siblings, all the others looked like vicious thugs.
That’s normal.
In this day and age, if you weren’t eccentric, you would probably have become a compliant subject of the Outer Gods.
Karl, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the valley, was covered in flames that churned like blood, not moving an inch.
An invisible aura was like a mountain, enveloping the entire valley.
The usually arrogant Blood Wolf and the vicious Sand Bandits all subconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to look up.
“Hmm…”
Karl suddenly opened his eyes, the flames in front of him swirling and changing, transforming into a three-dimensional image.
Upon closer inspection.
The image was centered on the valley where they were, expanding for hundreds of miles in all directions, with a clear depiction of the terrain.
“Each of you must lure a Lower Follower of a deity here every ten days for me to devour. If you fail, you will suffer the punishment of being burned alive.”
He made a grasping motion with one hand, activating the flame restrictions, and everyone in the area groaned and trembled.
“If you lure a Middle Follower, or an Upper Follower…”
Karl’s lips curled slightly:
“There will be a reward!”
“There are at least a hundred deity followers in this area. Each of you choose a direction to go and act as bait.”
The crowd looked at each other, but Blood Wolf, the leader of the Black Wolf Bandits, had a fanatical glint in his eyes. He stood up, cupped his fist towards Karl, and flew off into the distance.

A streak of light pierced through the darkness.
A Middle Follower of the Sun God, holding a long spear, looked coldly at the figure fleeing in front of him.
“Blood Wolf?”
“A native Legendary Knight dares to interfere with my affairs, he’s courting death!”
The light flashed, and after a few breaths, he caught up to Blood Wolf. The Follower raised his spear, ready to finish off his opponent.
But on Blood Wolf’s face, there was no fear, only a look of wild joy.
Huh?
The Follower was stunned, and before he could react, he felt a terrifying aura surge from below, instantly engulfing him.
“Bang!”
Karl retracted his palm and glanced at the data panel.
Source Essence +17
“Not bad.”
He nodded towards Blood Wolf and took out a fruit containing source power from his void bag and tossed it over.
“Your reward!”
“Thank you!” Blood Wolf caught the fruit, without checking it, swallowed it whole, and landed on the ground to quietly adjust his breathing.
Soon.
He opened his eyes, feeling the surge of battle aura within his body, the muscles in his face twitched.
“Dou Sha.”
After thinking for a moment, Blood Wolf looked at Karl, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the valley, suppressed the fear in his heart, and respectfully asked:
“If I want to advance to Holy Knight, what do I need to do?”
“Holy Knight?” Karl opened his eyes, scanned Blood Wolf, and slowly said:
“Two Upper Followers or eight Middle Followers. Complete the task, and I will help you advance.”
Blood Wolf licked his lips, his eyes filled with fanaticism.
…………
Two Lower Followers were chasing a group of Sand Bandits, and just as they were about to succeed, Karl suddenly appeared.
Source Essence +11
A Middle Follower sensed danger in advance and turned to flee, but Karl caught up and killed him from a distance.
Source Essence +16
Three deity followers came to investigate the disappearance of their comrades and were lured near the valley by the Kent siblings and killed.
Source Essence +22
Similar scenes played out repeatedly.
◈◈◈
…………
Lower Followers could provide five to ten points of Source Essence, Middle Followers thirteen to twenty points, and Upper Followers varied the most, from twenty to fifty points.
As for Demigods…
It would probably be at least a hundred!
Two months later.
Name: Karl
Constitution: 100
Mental Power: 64
Source Essence: 0
Cultivation: Third-Circle Wizard, Forbidden Knight
Bloodlines: Abyssal Giant Squid（100%）, Lich（30%）, Pale Wing（Incomplete）…
His Constitution had finally reached the 100 mark!
It wasn’t that he couldn’t continue to increase it, but from now on, each point of Constitution would require fifty points of Source Essence.
Without a breakthrough in his cultivation, increasing the numerical value by one point wouldn’t be of much use.
It would be better to use it to increase his Mental Power.
“Dou Sha!”
A Sand Bandit stood up, suppressing his anger, and said:
“Recently, we have been luring deity followers for you, and they have become wary. Now, deity followers rarely travel alone, and even if they spot us, they won’t chase us too far.”
“This won’t do!”
Karl, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, slowly opened them and stared at the man:
“So…”
“So, the task you gave us is too difficult. Can you lower the requirements or wait until later?”
The Sand Bandit asked tentatively.
As soon as the words left his mouth, his expression froze, followed by a twitching face, and he screamed as he fell to the ground, rolling around.
The restrictions within his body had been activated, and flames were burning his internal organs and flesh, even his seven orifices were spewing flames.
“Ah!”
“Ah…”
“Mercy! Mercy!”
The Sand Bandit’s screams were miserable, and the others’ faces paled as they subconsciously moved away.
“I won’t dare again!!!”
Karl remained indifferent, and only when the man was on the verge of death did he stop the restrictions.
“I only want followers, nothing else matters.”
In other words, whether the task is difficult or not is your problem. I only demand results.
He raised his head, as if sensing something, and soared into the sky. Soon after, he dropped Blood Wolf, who was covered in wounds, on the ground.
“You killed a Lower Follower?”
“…” Blood Wolf’s body trembled:
“I wanted to lure an Upper Follower, and I only had a chance if I killed the Lower Follower he favored.”
“Bang!”
Before he could finish his sentence, he was struck in the chest by a huge force, and he spat out blood as he flew a hundred meters away.
“The deity followers are mine!” Karl looked at Blood Wolf, his voice cold:
“Without my permission, no one can touch them!”
“Puh!” Blood Wolf spat out blood, struggled to kneel on the ground, covered the shadows in his eyes, and said heavily:
“Yes.”
…………
“Second Order!”
Blood Wolf licked his lips, looking at the several Evil God’s followers in front of him, his eyes filled with both fear and fanaticism.
He was not far from achieving the merits required to advance to the Second Order, he only needed to lure the few in front of him over.
“Blood Wolf!”
Just as he was about to move, a familiar voice sounded:
“Want to talk?”
“Yellow Wind?” Blood Wolf turned his head, looking at the leader of the Sand Bandits, his eyes narrowing:
“What do we have to talk about?”
“Heh…” Yellow Wind, shrouded in yellow sand, landed next to Blood Wolf, and looked at the deity followers in front of them:
“You want to lure them to Dou Sha?”
“Huh?” Blood Wolf’s face darkened:
“You want to steal my business?”
“No!” Yellow Wind shook his head:
“I just want to remind you that Dou Sha is a monster who has no humanity. We are his bait, and sooner or later, we will lose our lives. Have you ever seen a fisherman who cares about his bait?”
“Hmm…” Blood Wolf’s eyes flickered slightly:
“What do you mean?”
“That monster Dou Sha can easily kill two Middle Followers, his strength is probably in the mid to late Third Order.” Yellow Wind said:
“He definitely doesn’t exceed the Third Order, otherwise, he wouldn’t have us lure the deity followers in batches.”
“Don’t you want to escape his control?”
“Heh!” Blood Wolf sneered:
“We have his restrictions on us. It’s not like we can get rid of them just by wanting to, unless someone helps us break them…”
“Huh?”
His expression changed slightly:
“You plan to join the deities?”
