Chapter 400: Plethora Of Upgrades!
However, if you weren't one of those lucky few, then you'd need to acquire a certain reputation or amass enough merits to be considered for Noble Positions.
Nonetheless, even with this fact, the majority of 'commoners' who were able to acquire a 'title' were few and far between.
And even the ones who did end up becoming nobles would only be granted either the 'Knight', 'Lord' or 'Baron' Noble Ranks.
Furthermore, their cultivation had to be far higher than the norm for those of that rank, and the fief bestowed upon them by the kingdom would be either small, barren, or both.
Nevertheless, it wasn't like the AquaRing Kingdom was an outlier in this aspect, as every single kingdom and even the empires followed these guidelines and even stricter ones.
After all, the majority of the ones who 'ruled' considered themselves of higher blood and disdained the mere idea of having 'lesser beings' in their parties and gatherings.
On a side note, Marina wanted to change this for her Kingdom, but in the end, the Ancestors of the AquaRing Kingdom wouldn't allow it
Marina was just a puppet on a string
One might even say she was a powerless figurehead
And just like Marina, Nadia, her oldest daughter, and her second oldest daughter would likely end up with the same fate as her
Maybe even worse, considering that a couple of her daughters were less talented than Aqua.
After all, even the most talented of the females in the AquaRing bloodline was forced to be married off to a prince from the FireGod Empire
However, there might come a day when all of their fates will be changed forever.
And who knows, the one who would set such a change in motion might just materialize in the form of a devilishly handsome man who just loves chasing experience bags
...
A few days passed by as Azmond, Emu, and the girls enjoyed their time in the City of RiverBloom before they parted ways with Eldric and Ariana, heading toward the Royal Capital of AquaRing with a few goals in mind.
|Hey, Azmond!?|
Boundless's melodic voice echoed out as she laid her voluptuous body on top of Azmond's head.
*Boing! Boing!*
"..."
Azmond watched those two milk cannons sway in front of his face for a second before he replied, "Yes?"
The devilishly handsome man hiding his appearance behind a wolf mask already knew where this conversation was going. But he decided to entertain the girl anyway.
And just as he expected, Boundless's smile curled upward before she asked, |Are we almost there yet!?|
*Jiggle! Jiggle!*
*Slap!*
Her perky pudding mountains jiggled a little before they slapped him straight in the face!
Azmond felt that heavenly sensation smack dab in the nose as he completely forgot what he was thinking about.
So in response to Boundless's question, Azmond simply nodded his head and said, "Mhmm"
Afterwards, he attempted to refocus as he saw some more system notifications come in.
A few bright lights flashed.
BLING!
*Ding!* *You have gained experience +700,000,000 from 'Villager B'*

*Ding!* *Your Peak Combat Strength has successfully increased from the 'Absolute Peak Stages of the Early Mahayana Realm' to the 'Initial Stages of the Middle Mahayana Realm' (Excluding the boosts from your race)*
*Ding!* *You are one step closer to reaching the peak of the World of Asterion! But before you get ahead of yourself, you must go and activate your profession at your closest convenience!*
Azmond perused over the system notifications before he thought, 'I completely forgot about going for my profession'
'After seeing all these people use different professions, I've become curious about what mine will end up being'
His thoughts were stuck on that quandary for a second before he said, "It must surely be something cool, right?"
Azmond's voice came out as a low mutter, so nobody could hear him, but if the girls could, they'd probably say something like, 'Will probably be yet another thing that will make you even more overpowered!'
And they wouldn't be wrong in that assumption, but there's no telling what the future holds, so let's take it one step at a time.
A few hours passed by as Azmond went through a few more 'hand sessions' with the girls while sitting on top of the Gold-Ranked Dragons head.
They were nearing the Royal Capital of AquaRing and would need to 'park' the dragon somewhere so as not to attract too much attention.
However, before that happened, Azmond saw a few more system notifications appear in his vision.
*Ding!* *You have gained 80,000,000 'Dual Cultivation' experience*
*Ding!* *You have gained 35,000,000 'Dual Cultivation' experience*
*Ding!* *You have gained 350,000 'Dual Cultivation' experience*
*Ding!* *You have gained 7,600,000,000 'Dual Cultivation' experience*
*Ding!* *You have gained 940,050,000 'Dual Cultivation' experience*
*Ding!... You have*
A few more of such notifications popped up in Azmond's vision before a few different ones appeared.
*Ding!* *You have leveled up your 'Dual Cultivation' section!*
*Ding!* *Your 'Dual Cultivation' has reached 'Tier 1: Level 3*
*Ding!* *Your racial 'boosts' have been increased from '100,000%' to '104,000%*
*Ding!* *Your strength has significantly improved, but since the host wishes to keep it hidden, the increased 'combat strength' will lay behind a veil for now*
