My cousin is becoming a legend.

"Just as I expected, my physical fitness has improved."

Lynn clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking.

The force transmitted through my forearm was much greater than I remembered.

However, Lynn felt that his speed had increased even more than his strength.

Lynn took a step forward.

The movement was almost twice as fast as before.

The rumor that the awakening of extraordinary abilities can turn a weak boy into a strong man overnight is indeed true.

More importantly...

"The Person in the Shadows"

Lynn silently recited in his heart.

The next moment, a cool breeze enveloped my entire body.

Lynn's figure gradually became semi-transparent.

Lynn looked down at her semi-transparent body.

He waved his arms and jumped in place.

Even running cannot affect this layer of energy on the skin.

Lynn hid himself in a dark corner of the room.

At this moment, his figure completely disappeared.

Three minutes passed.

Lynn's figure gradually became visible in the darkness.

"A decent skill, suitable for night raids."

Thinking of this, Lynn felt a little heavy-hearted.

His brothers died because of this move.

Some grudges must be settled sooner or later.

Not only that mysterious assassin, but also that nobleman who seized his merchant guild, Count Dericre...

"Let's take it one step at a time... The most urgent thing right now is to think about how to continue getting stronger."

Lynn had a headache.

He now has only two paths to continue becoming stronger.

One is to unlock the Heavy Armor Knight entry.

Another option is to find dark-themed items to upgrade the level of the Shadow Scout.

The former simply won't work.

Because a set of heavy armor and a greatsword or other heavy weapon are very expensive, Lynn simply cannot afford them right now.

While the latter process was simpler compared to other superhumans, it was still quite frustrating.

According to Lynn's understanding, the abilities of superhumans are not particularly stable after they awaken.

Those with extraordinary abilities need to practice constantly to master them.

Only after stabilizing one's abilities can one seek out the corresponding resources to refine potions or food in order to achieve a breakthrough.

And so I kept practicing and kept breaking through.

Only when ten stars have condensed in one's heart will one have the opportunity to seek advancement in rank.

That's how it should normally be.

Lynn had never heard of a superhuman who could fully control his abilities upon awakening.

It can be said that Lynn only needs to take medicine to become stronger, and does not need to gradually adapt at all.

But that's where the problem lies.

Lynn had absolutely no idea what medicine she should take.

He didn't even know what dark-type items were.

The church of the Uma Kingdom has kept all relevant knowledge secret.

"I should go to the Baron's office; perhaps I can get some help," Lynn thought to himself.

As it happens, he also wants to apply to become Baron Nareel's knight.

Lynn rummaged through the closet and found a decent-looking embroidered thick-collared coat.

He wore a white shirt underneath, an embroidered jacket on top, and black riding breeches on the bottom.

This outfit was purchased by Lynn while he was trading in the Kingdom of Sirnus in the north, so it does not contain any Uma cultural symbols.

Lynn hesitated.

The Iportu Peninsula is now under the control of the Uma people, so perhaps this outfit is somewhat inappropriate.

However, considering that this is, after all, the border between the Kingdom of Uma and the Kingdom of Sirnus, and the two countries have not fought here for nearly 70 years.

Moreover, Lynn had heard that Baron Nareel did not have Umar blood, so his attire was quite acceptable.

After all, he couldn't just go there in coarse cloth clothes; the guards would kick him out.

Lynn changed his clothes, mounted his short sword, and hid the blade under his coat.

Lynn pushed open the door and went out.

He wanted to borrow a horse from Uncle Anthony and set off after breakfast.

Upon entering Uncle Anthony's house, the couple were already seated at the table, while Tina's bedroom door remained tightly closed.

On the table were still those few rough, sour slices of dark bread, and a pitifully small amount of milk for each person.

The room was somewhat quiet.

Aunt Edith lowered her head when she heard the door open, ignoring him completely, and continued cutting the bread on her plate.

Perhaps she was still angry, or perhaps she still felt ashamed.

Uncle Anthony also lowered his head, not daring to look at Lynn.

It wasn't until Lynn sat down next to Anthony that he asked, somewhat surprised, "Lynn, where are you going dressed like that?"

As Lynn tore the bread into small pieces and soaked them in milk, he replied, "I was just about to tell you, Uncle, could you lend me your horse for a day? I need to go to the Baron's territory."

"A baronial territory?"

Uncle Anthony was somewhat taken aback.

"Lynn, are you going to seek justice from the lord? No, disturbing a nobleman will result in a flogging."

Aunt Edith glanced at Lynn awkwardly upon hearing this and said coldly, "Is this your solution? Hmph, save your breath. We don't have any more money to pay for your medical bills."

Lynn ignored them and continued to crush and stir the bread, then swallowed the bread porridge in one gulp.

The crumbs of the black bread stung his throat, making it less satisfying than his usual way of eating.

Under the watchful eyes of the Wilsons, Lynn cleared her throat with a glass of water.

"I have become a superhuman."

Lynn said nonchalantly.

"What?"

Uncle Anthony was taken aback; he didn't quite understand what Lynn was saying.

As for Aunt Edith, while she looked disgusted, there was some worry in her eyes, but her words remained sharp.

"So you're going to use this excuse to fool the Baron?"

My dear nephew, hasn't your brain grown along with your body in these ten years?

"When you meet the Baron, don't tell him you're from the Wilson family, hehe."

After unleashing her power, Aunt Edith felt inexplicably much better.

Lynn didn't bother to explain; instead, he simply activated his Shadow Man skill.

In an instant, Lynn's body turned into a semi-transparent form.

The figure that was originally on the chair has disappeared.

Only by looking closely can you see that Lynn is sitting there.

Lynn, whose body was transparent, like a ghost.

Snapped!

The Wilson family's few porcelain cups were accidentally dropped on the ground by Aunt Edith.

Sharp fragments were scattered all over the ground, but no one was in the mood to clean them up.

The crisp sound startled the Wilsons, who were still half asleep.

Aunt Edith's eyes widened, her mouth involuntarily opened, and she froze in her chair, speechless for a long time.

Uncle Anthony, however, quickly recovered from his shock.

He rubbed his eyes, got up and walked to Tina's room, banging on the door repeatedly, his voice a little hoarse.

"Tina, come out quickly, come and see your brother."

Lynn... Lynn has finally become a superhuman!

A haggard figure hurriedly opened the door and quickly walked out of the room.

At this moment, Tina had large dark circles under her eyes, her hair was very messy, and she looked pitiful and lost.

As she gazed at Lynn, whose figure was blurred on the chair and who was smiling faintly at her, tears gradually blurred her vision.

"I knew you'd succeed..."

Seeing the father and daughter's eyes redden, Aunt Edith also felt bad and her eyes reddened.

The series of disasters that had struck her recently had already overwhelmed her.

The shame of being forced to sell her daughter caused her unbearable pain.

Finally, the Wilson family received some good news.

Aunt Edith sniffed, feigning harshness, and scolded him in a gruff tone:

"Alright, stop crying so early in the morning! So what if you become an extraordinary being? What's so surprising about that?"

I knew this kid had talent a long time ago! Nothing surprising to me, everyone get over here and eat!

Seeing his aunt's tearful yet stubborn expression, Lynn couldn't help but smile.

Although Lynn never held a grudge against her aunt, seeing her like this now, she felt... quite pleased.

The whole family sat around the table, all staring intently at Lynn.

"Lynn, you..."

Aunt Edith spoke first, her tone hesitant.

"What are you planning to do...?"

Lynn took the initiative to pick up the conversation.

"I am prepared to pledge allegiance to Baron Nareel so that I may become his knight."

At that time, I was considered a low-ranking nobleman, and the Galach family dared not do anything to us.

"Breaking off the engagement with Tina shouldn't be a problem, since we're in the right."

Aunt Edith breathed a sigh of relief.

Tina gripped her skirt tightly with excitement, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lynn.

Uncle Anthony, however, was somewhat worried.

"But what about the money I owe? Without Gallagher's dowry, those merchants can legally take our house away."

Lynn frowned and asked, "Uncle, how much money do you owe exactly?"

"A total of 100 silver nis." Uncle Anthony said somewhat hastily.

Lynn stroked his chin, frowned, and thought for a while before saying, "I can't pay you back in the short term, so it seems I'll have to postpone it. I can talk to them about raising the interest rate so they won't take the house away yet."

"Will this work?" Uncle Anthony asked with some concern.

Lynn smiled.

"It should be fine. After all, our family now has the ability to repay the loan."

Besides, Uncle, you didn't lose the sheepskin on purpose, so we're in the right both morally and logically. Moreover, I don't think any businessman wants to offend a superhuman.

I'll get them to agree then.
