Chapter 24: How to Cultivate Your Own Heroes
Li Qing did not hesitate for too long and decided to use it to train a dragon vein sorcerer.
The reason why I don't use it myself is very simple. The probability of this thing awakening my bloodline is not high. It is just a possibility, not a certainty.
This involves the thing called the hero template, because once the bloodline is awakened , it will be affected by the hero template and transformed into a heroic bloodline.
This trace of dragon blood can allow an ordinary professional or soldier to awaken a trace of dragon blood, but it is not enough to awaken the heroic blood for heroes with higher requirements.
In other words, if he used it himself, there was a high probability that he would obtain an unactivated dragon bloodline, which would be just like the many unawakened bloodlines in his body now and would be completely useless for the time being.
But if his subordinates use it, even if the strength of this bloodline is not enough, the basic dragon bloodline can still be manifested and can be barely put to use.
As for who to use it for, there is no need to consider it. It must be selected from the existing five elite template third-level imperial elite archers.
With the highest rank, the highest template, and the highest growth ceiling after promotion, is there any need to consider this?
Li Qing found five elite imperial archers and stood in front of them with his hands behind his back.
The five imperial archers had just finished a battle and were resting. Faced with Li Qing's sudden call, they did not have any ideas but were ready to fight.
After being transformed into a soldier type using the Promotion Rune, they are not only endowed with powerful strength, but the many complex arrays inside the Promotion Rune Card also include arrays that change thinking and will, which will slightly change their thinking and personality, making them taciturn, loyal and brave, and more like a true warrior.
So no matter what they were like before, after being transformed into formal soldiers using the promotion rune, they will become more loyal to the lord who performed the transformation ceremony for them.
Slowly, imperceptibly, they will become more and more loyal.
After the rank is raised several times, one can basically reach the level of a die-hard fan.
At this moment, they are not asking what to do, but what orders you give.
Li Qing walked back and forth in front of them with his hands behind his back and said:
"You are very lucky. Master, I have a chance to change your fate. I have a dragon's blood. After fusion, you can awaken the dragon bloodline and become a powerful dragon fighter!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the archers looked up in confusion.
Before the promotion, they were just ordinary laborers. After the promotion, they were infused with all combat-related knowledge but no extraordinary knowledge. They did not know what the blood of the dragon was.
Li Qing did not explain too much, but continued to speak:
"But there is only one blood of the dragon, and I can only choose one, sir."
Everyone was speechless and just stared at him.
…
Li Qing looked at their confused expressions and suddenly felt that everything he had just said was nonsense.
Some were speechless for a moment, shrugged, and pointed at one of the warriors who looked stronger than the other four:
"You, step out!"
The elite imperial archer immediately stepped forward.
Li Qing looked up at the other four elite archers who were still confused but looked a little lost:
"Don't be discouraged. You still have a chance. After a while, the master will obtain the dragon bloodline and give it to you then."
After saying this, he said to his subordinates in front of him:
"Come with me."
Turn around and walk to the center of the divine realm.
The dragon bloodline can be bestowed anywhere, but at this time Li Qing had a strange idea in his mind that he wanted to try.
Can the blood of a giant dragon, a little divine power, and a dozen unknown points of light in the golden finger space combined into one create a hero?
A level 0 divine domain can accommodate up to 5 heroes, but there is no hero in his divine domain at this moment.
The initial idea was to find a hero within the family, but the potential of family heroes was limited, and the key family heroes were useless at the beginning, and a lot of resources had to be invested in their training.
The later idea was to find a hero under the mentor's name, but the quality of the heroes under the mentor's name was also worrying.
The difference between a hero and a war lord apprentice lies in whether or not one has the divine domain. If one does not have the divine domain , he is a hero, and if one has the divine domain, he is a war lord apprentice. They have the same starting point and the same talent gap.
They also have spiritual talents, they also have bloodlines, and some can even inherit the power of their ancestors, becoming inherited heroes with a whole set of unique and complete power systems.
Mentor Nie Yang is only a two-star mentor, and the quality of the heroes and professionals under his tutelage is not much different from that of the War Lord's apprentices.
Therefore, the possibility of finding a powerful hero among the apprentices under Master Nie Yang is really slim.
Instead of looking for some heroes with little potential, it is better to create a hero yourself.
The war lord has the authority to promote some indigenous warriors or divine soldiers who meet the requirements to heroes.
However, this condition is extremely harsh. Normally, the War Lord apprentices do not have that ability, unless they are those apprentices with very good backgrounds and possess a large amount of precious resources.
And only if the converted natives themselves are extremely talented, would this be possible.
Yes, there is just a slight possibility.
After all, indigenous humans have no destiny, they don’t have the seeds of the divine realm, and it is extremely difficult to transform them into heroes or professionals.
In fact, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to transform a native into a hero with just the blood of a dragon. Li Qing's only confidence comes from the unknown power in his golden finger.
That thing can even strengthen the essence of his soul, and the power it possesses is extremely magical.
If you use this thing to strengthen your subordinates' souls several times first, and then fuse them together, the possibility of becoming a hero will increase significantly.
If you successfully get promoted, you will get a hero with dragon blood and powerful talents. If you fail to get promoted, you will also get a professional with dragon blood and powerful talents.
Of course, it is also possible that he would die on the spot because he could not withstand the power of the dragon's bloodline.
Li Qing brought his men to the core tower of the Divine Realm and asked:
"May I have your name?"
The soldier replied respectfully:
"Your Excellency, I don't have a name yet."
"Well, if nothing goes wrong, you will have your own name soon."
Li Qing smiled slightly and ordered in a deep voice:
"Take off your armor!"
The soldier immediately took off his chain mail and put it aside, revealing his burly figure.
Elite template soldiers' physical fitness is 100% stronger than their peers in all aspects, which means they are taller and stronger.
The overall physical fitness is 100% stronger, which means it is not just twice as strong as on paper, it is several times stronger.
Li Qing stretched out his hand and a golden light flashed in his palm. The shrunken dragon's blood appeared in his palm. With a thought, he mobilized the divine power in the divine realm and mixed it with the dragon's blood to form a golden ball of light emitting starlight.
He looked up at the soldier, cut a hole in the soldier's strong pectoral muscles with the dagger in his right hand, and pressed his palm on it.
The golden ball of light directly penetrated into the wound, and traces of blood-golden light quickly seeped into his body.
Stimulated by this, runes for military promotion in his body quickly emerged and transformed into a huge cocoon of light that wrapped him up.
But unlike previous promotions, this light cocoon, which should have been transparent and clear, now had more and more golden and blood-colored light threads appearing.
As the golden-red light threads rapidly increased and covered the entire light cocoon, the atmosphere inside also began to change, and a faint sense of oppression began to emerge.
"Longwei!"
Although I have never seen it before, this pressure is exactly the same as the aura emitted by the dragon bloodline.
“The possibility of success is very high!”
Feeling this pure dragon power, Li Qing was in a good mood.
If he could be successfully promoted to a hero, it meant that he could gain a powerful hero with extremely high potential and immediate combat effectiveness, which could immediately narrow the gap with the direct descendants of those war lords who came from wealthy backgrounds.
Civilian lord apprentices can only recruit heroes and professionals of civilian origin.
Stronger than commoners but not as good as the direct descendants of war lords, the side branches of aristocratic families like Li Qing can only recruit heroes and professionals of the same status. If they have outstanding talents, they may be favored by those with equally outstanding talents.
And those direct descendants of the war lords can naturally be chosen at will.
Most heroes and professionals with outstanding talents are also willing to work for them.
But in addition to this, the direct descendants of the war lords will not only select two heroes with outstanding talents, but also one or two indigenous heroes with outstanding potential and strong combat capabilities.
Although they are also trained from level zero, this kind of indigenous hero does not need to learn from scratch like human destined heroes.
For example, Li Qing is only at level 1, has not learned any professional skills, and has no combat power. He will need a lot of investment in the early stages to have enough combat power.
These indigenous heroes have completed the necessary career planning and professional skills learning early on, and can now use their weapons, and their combat effectiveness is quite strong.
but……
He had been waiting expectantly, but the cocoon of light had been changing all the time, and it had taken a long time for it to complete its transformation.
I've been waiting for almost an hour and it still hasn't ended, and it doesn't look like it will end anytime soon.
Li Qing was speechless.
Instead of waiting here foolishly, I left the divine realm and went back to sleep.
Because tomorrow is the day of the mentor course.
The next morning, Li Qing got up at six in the morning. Today, his tutor Nie Yang was teaching in person, so the class was not that late.
He sensed the divine realm immediately and discovered that the transformation was not over yet.
But he did not show any worry, instead he looked happy.
If the failure had occurred long ago and has not occurred yet, it means the transformation has been successful and the soldier will most likely be successfully promoted to a hero.
Ignoring all this, he quickly washed up and rushed to the auditorium in the center of the castle, where the tutor's class was taking place.
There were not many people on the road. This was inside the castle and it was not during the normal class hours. Apart from a few night owl teachers and guards, there were only a dozen or so war lord apprentices.
After passing through layers of guards and arriving at the auditorium, Li Qing pushed the door open and found that he was the last one to arrive.
At this time, the sixteen people were gathered in groups of three or four to chat.
It's only been a week, and these apprentices have already formed their own small circle.
Although they are in a competitive relationship, if some civilian apprentices have self-awareness and do not compete for the top three, they can still play together.
In addition, the competitive relationship only exists in the first two years, the first and second year stages. After the third year, most of them go to a certain plane fragment to train on their own. At that time, there is no competitive relationship between most apprentices.
By that time, some war lords may be able to cooperate.
Sometimes you will descend into some newly pulled plane fragments and find some good things, but your own strength is not enough. At this time, multiple apprentices can work together to develop them.
Of course, most apprentices have bad relationships in the first and second years due to competition, and their relationships will still be bad in the third year or even after graduation.
Only by deciding to give up competition now will there be opportunities for cooperation in the future.
Someone like Li Qing is destined to compete for the top three, and his relationship with other apprentices who are also determined to compete for the top three is destined to be bad.
There are seventeen apprentices, plus Li Qing, forming a total of six small circles, which means that in addition to the existing top three seats, there are three other apprentices who are thinking of competing for the top three.
These three people are Gongsun Jin, who is currently ranked fourth. Although his bloodline talent is not obvious, he also possesses a four-star mental talent.
Among all the apprentices, he was the one who was most dissatisfied with Li Qing.
After all, we all have four-star mental talent, why are you in the top three and I'm not?
Ranked fifth is Mo Wenxi, who has an obscure bloodline, a three-and-a-half-star mental talent, a good background, and a lot of resources at the beginning.
In the early stage, more money directly represents combat effectiveness.
The sixth place is Chu Zhong, who also has a three-star talent for mental power and an average background. The reason he ranks sixth is mainly because he has a very powerful hidden, unactivated bloodline called the Mammoth, and the difficulty of awakening it is three stars.
This thing is of middle bloodline. Once awakened, its combat power is extremely fierce.
Unfortunately, this thing is too rare, and I don’t know when I can encounter a mammoth and obtain its blood essence to awaken it.
All I can say is that it has great potential, but its combat effectiveness is poor at this stage.
Each of the five apprentices has several apprentices following him. The one with the largest number is the chief Zhang Jishan, and the second is the runner-up Cao Wenyuan.
Li Qing ranked third and last. Originally, there were two apprentices who ranked lower than him who wanted to contact him, but he did not respond, which was considered a rejection.
There are two reasons.
One thing is that he is too poor.
It's not for nothing that people serve as your younger brothers. This is also an exchange of interests. If they serve as your younger brothers, you have to give them some benefits.
With his current poverty, what benefits can he give?
The second reason is that he looks down on it.
Holding the space in his palm, he can be sure that his future is bleak, and these younger brothers with limited potential will all be a burden in the future.
There aren't many benefits but a lot of trouble, so he's not interested.
The right way is to concentrate on managing your own divine domain.
Instead of wasting time, it would be better to use the golden finger to train a group of powerful heroes and professionals.
Because of this, Li Qing found a seat and sat down alone, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart. In fact, he was feeling the changes in the divine realm in his heart.
At this moment, he suddenly sensed some changes in his divine domain. The cocoon of light seemed to have opened, and his men had completed their transformation.
He really wanted to go in and take a look, but he happened to hear footsteps outside the auditorium. He looked up and saw his tutor and several teachers walking in. He immediately stood up.
The apprentices who were chatting immediately stopped talking, gathered in front of the auditorium, and shouted respectfully:
"Hello, teacher!"
Nie Yang nodded, walked to the center of the auditorium, stretched out his hand and gestured for everyone to sit down.
