Chapter 452

How could Shi Xingan dare to disobey Meng Anwen's words? He immediately sat down and tried his best to stay calm.

But with a flurry of thoughts attacking him, Shi Xingan couldn't calm down no matter what.

Not being calm would be detrimental to the class change.

Lin Moyu understood this and said to Shi Xingan, "Brother Shi, it's just a class change."

"Teacher Meng and Teacher Bai have already prepared everything. As long as you can maintain a firm belief, there's more than a sixty percent chance of triggering class sublimation."

Shi Xingan tried to adjust his breathing. "I understand, it's just that I'm still a bit nervous."

Liang Yue walked over and suddenly gave Shi Xingan a gentle kick. "You blockhead, are you a man or not? You aren't even afraid of death, so what's there to be afraid of in a class change?"

Liang Yue knew Shi Xingan best, and a single sentence was enough to shake him awake.

That's right, he wasn't even afraid of death, so what was there to be nervous about?

It was just a class change, nothing special.

Lin Moyu had even prepared such precious items as the heart of the earth and the earth gem for him.

Furthermore, God Bai had prepared various materials, and the Human Race's number one formation master had personally crafted the class change formation for him.

What else did he have to be afraid of?

His mood finally calmed down, and he bowed respectfully toward Meng Anwen and Bai Yiyuan. "I'll have to trouble God An and God Bai."

Shi Xingan walked to the center of the formation. With a point of Meng Anwen's finger, the class change formation began to operate with a roar.

Beams of light shot into the sky, merging into a prismatic glow before descending like a rosy dawn to envelop Shi Xingan.

Shi Xingan held the earth gem in his left hand and the heart of the earth in his right.

The heart of the earth could allow a Paladin to trigger a special class sublimation during their second awakening, transforming them into an Earth Knight in one fell swoop.

If complemented by an earth gem, the probability of triggering sublimation would increase significantly.

Lin Moyu and Liang Yue watched quietly.

While Shi Xingan was calm now, Liang Yue, on the contrary, was somewhat nervous.

Lin Moyu said, "Sister Liang, no need to be nervous. Trust Brother Shi, it'll be fine."

Liang Yue nodded. "I trust him."

Despite her words, her rapidly heaving chest and clenched fists betrayed her.

Shi Xingan was now oblivious to external matters, having calmed down completely.

He quickly mentally reviewed his experiences over the years, up until his three comrades recently died under the Dragon Race's blades to protect him.

This further fueled his desire to become an Earth Knight.

Only by becoming an Earth Knight and subsequently reaching the God-level would it be possible to charge into the Dragon Race and avenge his fallen brothers.

At this moment, Shi Xingan cast aside any thoughts of failure.

He could not fail, it was impossible for him to fail, and he would not fail.

His belief grew firmer, and strands of power were being born within his body.

The power from the formation surged in, breaking the level barrier for Shi Xingan.

Now, two paths lay before Shi Xingan. One was to become a Grand Knight, which was merely the title for a Paladin after their second class change; essentially, it was no different from a Paladin.

It was like a Mage becoming an Archmage; essentially, both were Mages.

The other path was the Earth Knight. Whether he could become an Earth Knight depended half on luck and half on himself.

"I must become an Earth Knight!"

"I believe that man can triumph over heaven!"

"I will not retreat; I must succeed!"

"I want to avenge my brothers, I want to charge into the Dragon Race, I want to protect the Human Race."

The power known as belief grew stronger and stronger.

The earth gem in his left hand suddenly emitted a faint light.

Then, the light began to grow intense.

Shi Xingan activated the earth gem with the Power of Belief.

Under the radiance of the earth gem, the heart of the earth in his right hand also began to emit a faint light.

The two lights merged into one, enveloping Shi Xingan.

Together with the class change formation, it flowed into Shi Xingan's body.

Shi Xingan slowly rose within the formation, hovering in mid-air.

"It's a success!"

Bai Yiyuan shouted in a low voice.

Meng Anwen sighed softly, "How many years has it been since an Earth Knight appeared in the Human Race? Finally, we have another."

Lin Moyu whispered, "Brother Shi used his belief to activate the earth gem and the heart of the earth, triggering the class sublimation."

Liang Yue was now in tears, incredibly excited. "I knew it, I knew you could do it."

Lin Moyu thought back to that final moment in the Corpse Realm.

It was the God-level experts of the Human Race who had protected him.

Even after becoming corpses and having been dead for over a thousand years, their belief in protecting the Human Race had never changed.

Protecting the Human Race.

It was etched into their marrow and deep within their souls; even time could hardly erase it.

Having had that experience, Lin Moyu believed that the Power of Belief could create miracles.

Lin Moyu believed even more that if one day he were to dispel the Corpse Poison, those Human Race experts with immortal beliefs might be able to return.

Immortal belief!

Lin Moyu murmured in his heart. At this moment, he also possessed a strong belief.

Waves of massive power rose, and the world changed color.

An illusory land appeared in the sky, like a mirage.

This land was incredibly vast, covering the entire area. It lasted for two minutes in the sky before slowly subsiding.

In Lin Moyu's eyes, this land gradually shrank and finally merged into Shi Xingan's body.

Shi Xingan's aura rose significantly as a result.

A celestial phenomenon occurred as prismatic light surged from all directions, entering Shi Xingan's body.

The Earth Knight was the ceiling of the Knight-type classes—the strongest Knight, bar none.

A celestial phenomenon was inevitable during the class change.

The heart of the earth seemed to come alive, taking the shape of a heart and beginning to throb.

With every beat, the earth would vibrate accordingly.

Then, the heart of the earth and the earth gem both burrowed into Shi Xingan's body.

In an instant, Shi Xingan's body burst with brilliant light.

The earth roared, and Shi Xingan descended along with it.

Intense energy fluctuations transmitted out from within the earth.

Meng Anwen said, "The Earth Knight communicates with the power of the earth, utilizing its infinite energy. As long as he is on the ground, his energy will never be exhausted."

"Ninety percent of all attacks against him will be channeled into the ground, with the earth sharing the burden for him."

"Every attack can draw upon the power of the earth."

With three sentences, Meng Anwen pointed out the essence of the Earth Knight's power.

As long as he stood on the ground, his combat endurance was infinite, he was directly immune to ninety percent of all damage, and his attacks were buffed by the power of the earth.

The Earth Knight was the darling of the earth, its very own son.

How could such a class not be strong?

Someone once said, 'To defeat an Earth Knight, you must be in the sky. But facing an Earth Knight, you simply cannot fly.'

With a soft hum, a halo appeared at Shi Xingan's feet.

Then, a second and third halo appeared in succession.

In the blink of an eye, four halos appeared beneath Shi Xingan's feet.

Red, blue, green, and yellow halos slowly rotated at his feet.

These halos were very similar to those of a Holy Light Knight and served the same purpose, but they were much more powerful.

He had everything a Holy Light Knight had, and he also possessed what a Holy Light Knight did not.

Ten minutes later, Shi Xingan slowly descended.

The class change formation also came to a halt, and the class change officially concluded.

With tears of joy, Liang Yue flew into Shi Xingan's arms and hugged him tightly.

Shi Xingan suppressed the excitement in his heart. "I succeeded."

Liang Yue nodded vigorously. "I knew you would succeed."

After sharing a moment of tenderness with Liang Yue, Shi Xingan walked over and said to Meng Anwen and Bai Yiyuan, "I cannot thank you enough for your kindness, God An and God Bai."

Bai Yiyuan waved his hand. "No need to thank us. If you want to thank someone, thank Moyu. He got the heart of the earth and the earth gem; otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to do anything."

Just as Shi Xingan was about to thank Lin Moyu, he was stopped by him.

"Brother Shi, there's no need for this."

"If it were you, you would have done the same."

Lin Moyu spoke sincerely, and Shi Xingan wasn't one to be overly formal.

Shi Xingan laughed heartily. "Then I won't waste words. In the future, if Brother Lin needs anything, just say the word, and I won't hesitate even if I have to go through fire and water."

Lin Moyu smiled. "Brother Shi just needs to remember his own belief."

Shi Xingan's expression turned solemn. "I will never forget."

Lin Moyu smiled and took out a shield, throwing it to Shi Xingan.

"This is a celebratory gift. Congratulations to Brother Shi on becoming an Earth Knight."

Shi Xingan looked at the shield he caught and was suddenly startled. "This is too valuable."

Lin Moyu waved his hand. "You're not allowed to return it. If you don't like it, just throw it away."

Throw it away? Shi Xingan couldn't bear to.

What Lin Moyu had given him was the highest-quality shield he had obtained so far.

A shield even better than the one from the Earth Touch Dragon God.

It came from the Battlefield Snake Turtle in the upper Core Area of the Ancient Battlefield.

[Shield of Retraction (Knight Exclusive): Platinum-grade shield, All Attributes +3000, Knight defensive skill effectiveness increased by 90%, Physical Damage reduction 20%, Elemental Damage reduction 20%, Attached Skill: Retraction.]

[Retraction: Unable to move for 30 seconds. During this period, immune to all damage, recover from all injuries, and reset the cooldown of all skills except this one. Cooldown time: 1 hour.]

Chapter 422: You Should Not Have Deceived This Emperor

Shi Xingan successfully changed classes, and from then on, the Human Race had another Earth Knight.

The celestial phenomenon during the class change was certainly witnessed by many.

This kind of phenomenon had been recorded in history. Anyone who had gone to school would know that this was the vision that only appeared when an Earth Knight changed classes.

Shi Xingan's transformation into an Earth Knight could not be hidden.
