Three years later.
Dark Forest, Tree Demon Forest.
The Tree Demon Forest is located on the eastern side of the Dark Forest, south of the Shadow Tower. It is a second-level hunting ground inhabited by many demon-like creatures. Often, some mid to high-level apprentices come here to hunt.
At this moment, somewhere in the Tree Demon Forest.
"Rustle!"
Long branches quickly swayed through the overgrown land, and the Twisted Tree Spirit raised its whip-like branches high, fiercely lashing forward.
A boy stood in front of it.
With thick eyebrows and bright eyes, he stood proud and tall, his upper body bare, muscles well-defined.
Facing the approaching vine-like branches sweeping like a gale, he calmly picked up the wide great sword from beside him and leaped into the air.
With this leap, he jumped more than three meters high.
A silver glow appeared on the blade as the boy, like a mountain pressing down, swung the sword towards the Twisted Tree Demon.
The Twisted Tree Spirit urgently waved its dense branches, forming a net in front to stop the boy. However, the space ahead suddenly distorted, and a ball of flame appeared out of nowhere, slamming heavily onto the branch net.
"Crackle!"
The scorching flames made the branches crackle and pop, and in an instant, a big hole was burned in the branch net.
Without another chance to defend, the leaping boy had already passed through the hole, appearing before the Twisted Tree Spirit.
"Whoosh!" The fierce sound of the wind breaking exploded.
The silver glow traced a dazzling, cold light in the air, like a streak of silver lightning, striking directly onto the Twisted Tree Spirit.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, the huge trunk, which required four people to encircle it, was split in half, the Twisted Tree Spirit let out a mournful wail, and leaves and branches flew everywhere, soon falling silent.
In the blink of an eye, this terrifying creature, equivalent to the strength of a mid-level apprentice, collapsed to the ground like this.
"Swoosh!"
The great sword in Lynch’s hand distorted and shrank, turning into a short magic wand, which he held up forward.
The shadow on the ground suddenly came alive, twisting like a long snake towards the split tree trunk, and in a moment, it extracted the heart of the Twisted Tree Spirit from within.
Looking at the Tree Demon’s Heart in his hand, Lynch grinned: "Quite a catch!"
A Tree Demon’s Heart is worth several hundred Magic Stones.
Stowing away the Tree Demon’s Heart, Lynch tucked the magic wand into his waist and walked to a small brook nearby, squatting down to wash his face.
The clear stream reflected his image clearly.
Compared to his youthful look three years ago, Lynch’s appearance had changed significantly.
He was almost 1.8 meters tall, his face lost its baby fat, with well-defined features shaping a handsome visage, a high nose bridge, and two deep gray eyes set apart, bright as the stars in the sky, paired with jet-black hair and well-toned muscles, making him a real handsome man.
That’s really considered lucky.
Lynch’s parents were actually quite ordinary-looking, but they each had some outstanding features; his mother’s beautiful eyes and his father’s high nose bridge, all of which Lynch luckily inherited.
You couldn’t see it due to his young age before, but as he grew older and continued his knight training, his looks and demeanor greatly improved.
In terms of appearance alone, Lynch now rivals any top male star on Earth.
"Rustle!"
After a simple wash, Lynch took out his clothes and dressed up.
A white shirt covered his abs, with a gray vest over it, making him look proper and prudent. Finally, he put on a big pair of black-framed glasses and adjusted his bangs to cover his eyebrows.
In a flash, the charismatic star-like figure disappeared, replaced by a pure, honest, and obedient-looking boy.
Being excessively flashy in appearance isn’t good, especially with a major enemy in sight, so ever since a female apprentice approached him on the road, Lynch decided to keep a low profile.
Whether or not he’s handsome isn’t the main point, discreet development is what’s important.
Finally, taking out a large Magic Book to hold in his arms, he successfully transformed into a "Harry Potter" type of bookish boy.
After checking himself in the mirror twice and finding no issues, Lynch turned and left the forest.
