[Quality: Orange (Rare)]
[Description: The Fire Element Essence can be used by advanced alchemists or blacksmiths to create potions or equipment imbued with fire attributes.]
[Note: Collect all Element Essences to fuse them into the Elemental Proof. Using the Elemental Proof during profession awakening grants full attribute elemental affinity, ensuring a 100% awakening of profession potential.]
Upon utilizing the Eye of Omniscience to uncover the hidden information about the Element Essence, Jeremy found himself in an ecstatic state.
The [Blasphemer] profession was already the strongest hidden profession. If he could achieve a 100% awakening of the Blasphemer, Jeremy\'s power would undergo a monumental leap.
What struck Jeremy as peculiar was how these family heads seemed to have coordinated in unison, each presenting a Tier-6 Element Essence.
Moreover, each Essence had different elemental properties, as if this was orchestrated deliberately.
Although Jeremy found this suspicious, the opportunity was too valuable to ignore. Ignoring such a temptation would be impossible for Jeremy.
Even if there was some conspiracy behind this, Jeremy decided he would take the bait first before dealing with any potential traps.
In truth, it wasn\'t that the Golden Lion family and others had some grand scheme.
Rather, the hidden conditions for profession awakening, unknown in Jeremy\'s world, were common knowledge among the sinners who had lived in the Land of Eternal Night for countless years.
All sinners knew that during profession awakening, possessing an Element Essence corresponding to one\'s profession could significantly enhance the potential of that profession.
However, very few could produce a Tier-6 Fire Element Essence like the one in Weber\'s hand. Collecting all the elemental essences was an even more daunting task.
Thus, in the eyes of these seasoned individuals, this was an open and honest ploy. Anyone with sense, including Jeremy, would not pass up this opportunity, making it a fortuitous coincidence.
Golden Lion Weber tossed the Tier-6 Fire Element Essence to Jeremy, and the other family heads followed suit, each handing over their respective Element Essences without delay.
Golden Lion Weber slightly bowed to Jeremy. "Regardless of the outcome, our Golden Lion family admires Mr. Jeremy\'s courage."
"In one day, we shall meet again in the arena."
No matter what, Jeremy, who had slain the would-be profession-awakened Black Tiger David at Level 39, was an undisputed powerhouse.
Golden Lion Weber was willing to show respect to any strong individual, no matter who they were.
With that, Golden Lion Weber turned around, a profound and unfathomable smile playing on his lips, ready to leave the arena. "Tomorrow, I shall see just how formidable this boy truly is."
As Golden Lion Weber moved, a large group of lion-headed, human-bodied sinners stood up in unison, ready to follow him out.
In an instant, the previously crowded area around the arena cleared out by a tenth.
Nina bit down on her silver teeth, her fingers gripping so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
This scene was a silent demonstration against the lord\'s mansion!
As for Heber and Blood Tiger Hansen, their faces turned ashen under this silent threat.
Just then, the other family heads also prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, Jeremy suddenly waved his hand and said, "No need to wait until tomorrow. Let\'s start now."
Jeremy\'s time was precious. He needed to quickly gather enough soul crystals to heal Janna.
The enigmatic smile on Golden Lion Weber\'s face froze instantly.
With a stiff neck, Golden Lion Weber turned back and asked, as if he hadn\'t heard clearly, "What did you say?"
The entire Dawn Arena seemed to be paused, with everyone staring at Jeremy in stunned silence.
Jeremy\'s expression remained unchanged. "Don\'t waste time. Let\'s start now."
A deep anger flashed in Golden Lion Weber\'s eyes. "This boy dares to belittle the Golden Lion family like this. Does he really think we\'re some insignificant Black Tiger clan?"
Jeremy looked at the elderly Golden Lion, whose hair and beard had turned entirely gray, and assumed that the sinner was too old and hard of hearing. Considerately, Jeremy took out his Bone Spear from the storage space, shook it, and pointed it at the Golden Lion\'s nose, saying, "I said, don\'t waste my time!"
Being so blatantly disrespected, Golden Lion Weber finally reached the peak of his anger.
Golden Lion Weber\'s hair stood on end as he laughed in rage. "Alright, alright! Since you\'re courting death, don\'t blame me!"
"Bel, you\'re up!"
As Golden Lion\'s voice faded, a towering giant nearly three meters tall, with a mane of dark golden fur around his neck and a bronze-like build, emerged from the crowd, holding a long spear.
With each of Bel\'s deliberate steps, the ground beneath him trembled ever so slightly, causing the nearby sinners to gasp in awe.
"Old Weber must be really pissed off to call out Dark Gold Bel."
"I heard that Dark Gold Bel is Weber\'s youngest son. Not only does he have the rare [Golden Lion] profession, but his gear is top-notch, with even the worst piece being platinum level!"
"Bel is a level 50 pre-professional expert. I wonder if he can take on this Jeremy."
"I doubt it. Black Tiger David is also a level 50 pre-professional, but he couldn\'t last a single move against this new player Jeremy. He\'s just too fierce."
"Are you seriously comparing Black Tiger David to Dark Gold Bel? Do you even have a brain? They\'re not in the same league!"
…
As the murmurs around him continued, a bloodthirsty glint appeared in Bel\'s dark yellow beastly eyes.
With a self-deprecating smile, Bel\'s deep voice resonated, "Comparing me to that Black Tiger David... It seems I\'ve been out of action for so long that everyone has forgotten who I am."
With a thunderous stomp, Bel\'s massive foot created a bowl-sized crater in the ground.
In an instant, Bel, like a looming tower, appeared in the Dawn Arena.
Pointing his heavy spear forward, Bel\'s weapon whistled through the air, creating a deep hum. "Jeremy, right? Let\'s get started!"
Just from Bel\'s imposing aura alone, Jeremy realized that Bel was in a completely different league compared to that Black Tiger David from earlier.
Without wasting any time, Jeremy gripped his Bone Spear and charged directly at Bel.
Seeing Jeremy\'s speed, Bel was taken aback by how fast this level 39 player was. Still, it was a speed he could handle.
"Well, no wonder that waste Black Tiger David got killed by you. You do have some skills, but that\'s it."
As he spoke, a faint whirlwind began to coil around Bel\'s long spear, tightly wrapping it in streams of wind.
"Storm Surge!"
In an instant, countless spearhead shadows, entwined with fierce winds, formed a towering wall in front of Jeremy.
Yet, Jeremy didn\'t slow down; it seemed as if he hadn\'t even noticed the barrier, charging straight ahead without hesitation.
For a moment, Nina, watching from below the arena, felt her heart tighten with anxiety. "Idiot, showing off without the skills to back it up!"
Golden Lion Weber and his entourage, on the other hand, displayed a hint of relief in their eyes. "Thank goodness, this new player doesn\'t seem overwhelmingly strong after all."
But just then, a slight smirk appeared at the corner of Jeremy\'s mouth as he softly muttered, "Shadow Step, Disaster Blade!"
He activated two skills simultaneously.
In a flash, Jeremy\'s speed surged dramatically, making him as elusive as a slippery fish. In the blink of an eye, he dodged all the spear shadows and closed the distance to Bel.
At the same time, a dark red glow enveloped Jeremy\'s Bone Spear.
The Bone Spear\'s passive ability already allowed it to bypass a certain amount of defense. Now, combined with Jeremy\'s own attack power and the Disaster Blade skill, Jeremy\'s damage output skyrocketed.
"Boom!"
Faced with imminent danger, Bel finally reacted. For a split second, his previously narrow pupils widened in shock.
There was no time to say anything. Bel planted his foot firmly, ready to retreat.
But Jeremy was not about to let Bel escape!
With a fierce strike, Jeremy\'s Bone Spear crashed into Bel\'s vital points.
Under the terrifying force of the attack, specks of blood blossomed instantly, causing Bel\'s towering, nearly three-meter-tall frame to stumble backward repeatedly.
Fortunately, the impact also afforded Bel a brief moment to catch his breath.
"Roar!"
With a thunderous shout, Bel\'s mane and beard bristled, sending ripples through the air like waves.
Jeremy squinted his eyes. "Sonic attack?"
The next moment, the lion\'s roar reverberated heavily in Jeremy\'s ears.
His mind went blank for a second, and two streams of blood trickled from his ears like serpentine rivers.
Jeremy glanced at his health and remained unconcerned.
Although the sonic attack seemed powerful, it actually caused minimal damage to Jeremy.
In that brief pause, Bel, covered in bloody wounds, had his beastly eyes flare up with a murderous glow.
"Blazing Sun Lion Thrust!"
Twisting his wrist, Bel spun his massive spear and thrust it forward.
In the air, a flaming lion, as if alive, pounced downward, merging with Bel\'s spear.
With a soul-shaking roar, the skill aimed straight at Jeremy\'s heart.
This was the killing move of the rare [Golden Lion] profession.
Although Bel hadn\'t fully awakened his profession, this skill could also deliver a mental shock, causing the opponent\'s soul to tremble and leaving them stunned for a few seconds.
In battle, even a moment\'s distraction could be fatal, and a few seconds were more than enough for Bel to finish off his enemy.
Bel was confident that this thrust would leave Jeremy severely injured.
What Bel didn\'t know was that just yesterday, Jeremy\'s mental attributes had surpassed ten thousand, nourishing his soul.
Jeremy\'s hands didn\'t falter. With a swift motion, his Bone Spear pierced through the air, directly impaling Bel\'s skull.
With a resounding "boom," it was as if a giant watermelon had exploded in mid-air.
