Chapter 484 - 364: [Dawn Body] and [Advanced Life Source]_3
Lis was not a greedy person. The goodwill released by the Legendary Crown was already more than sufficient, and to ask for more would have been ungrateful.

"Thank you for your help, may the Light always shine upon that land."
Lis bowed to the old man and spoke solemnly.
"Hmm."
Morris nodded his head and turned, walking slowly towards the back of the temple.
"Take good care of your body when you get back and give my regards to Joyce."
"Yes, Lord Morris."
Lis nodded his head and spoke earnestly.
Indeed, this direct and straightforward exchange with the Dawn Church was largely due to the influence of his own powerhouses, Stephens and Uncle Joyce.
Without them, perhaps the Legendary Priest wouldn’t have even made an appearance.
But the gains were already substantial!
Lis clenched his right hand tightly and let out a long sigh.
...
After being led out of the Dawn Cathedral by the Church priests, Lis used the "Teleportation Technique" to return to his mansion and had the coachman drive back on his own.
Back in his bedroom, Lis called up the system panel.
Though gaining support from the Dawn Church was important, enhancing his personal strength was paramount.

Wow!
Such thrilling gains?
Lis delightedly looked at the system panel that displayed all the rewards he had gained in the Dawn Cathedral.
His body was baptized by Dawn Power...
So those special Powers of Faith were called Dawn Power? It appears to be a crucial force of the Dawn Church, able to directly enhance one’s own strength through baptism.
He planned to visit the Dawn Cathedral a few more times, to see if he could benefit further from the Church’s resources.
If the priests of the Dawn Church knew Lis’s current thoughts, they would surely be dismayed.
Ordinary people couldn’t even resonate with the Dawn Power, let alone absorb so much of it like Lis did, directly consuming a significant portion of the Church’s years of accumulation.
However, this was the first time, which is why the effects were so profound. Lis’s subsequent contacts with Dawn Power would not yield such significant results.
Watching the absorption of Dawn Power this time, it even triggered the Talent "All-Purpose,"
Lis lay flat on the soft bed, hands crossed and tucked under his head.
It must be the Talent "All-Purpose" affecting when advancing to Gold Level, obtaining the effect of [increased affinity with certain special powers].
There must also be factors like merging with Divinity, truly a rare opportunity, comparable to what Lis gained from an exploratory battle.
During the body enhancement process, Lis saw improvements in his Strength, Endurance, Agility, and Charm Attributes, especially the most significant increases in the first three attributes which are closely related to body baptism.
It increased more than ten percent!
By the way, why would it increase the Charm Attribute?
Suddenly, Lis thought of something. He touched his face, then lifted his shirt up to check his body.
After the examination, Lis confirmed that the muscle lines on his body were more pronounced and his appearance slightly more rugged.
Of course, he was still very handsome!
Could it be that receiving the baptism of Dawn Power would make him more like that Lord of Dawn?
The image of the Lord of Dawn’s statue and the muscular figures of those fellows from the Dawn Church came into his mind, causing Lis to shiver involuntarily.
He definitely did not want to turn into that!
Indeed, even free power has its price!
However, Lis’s current condition was still good, even a bit more manly than before.
Moderate fitness attracts the opposite sex, excessive fitness attracts...
Lis shook his head, thought about Risa and Taya, and decided to maintain his current form.
Really, the Charm provided by the Lord of Dawn is toxic!
Lis gathered his scattered thoughts and continued to check.
After receiving the baptism of Dawn Power, Lis also acquired the Special Skills "Dawn Body" and "Advanced Life Source."
Both of these are powerful skills that enhance physical strength.
"Dawn Body" should be one of the special skills of the extraordinary professionals in the Dawn Church, enhancing affinity with powers related to the Light attribute, while further strengthening Lis’s Strength, Endurance, and Agility attributes.
And it also grants immunity to Direct Death Effects below the Legendary Rank.
That is to say, unless a Legendary Strongman acts, skills like "Death Finger" that have Direct Death Effects would be automatically immune for Lis, no judgment needed.
Of course, he would still take damage, but the strength of those skills lies mainly in their Direct Death Effect judgment; the damage is far less than skills of the same level.
Lis’s ability to court disaster had increased!
As for the skill "Advanced Life Source," it directly raises the upper limits of Lis’s health and mana, also enhancing the body’s recovery rate by consuming mana.
The recovery rate here likely refers to the ability to recover health and heal bodily injuries, which is also a pretty strong skill for close-combat professionals.
Lis’s eyes lit up when he saw this skill.
Joking aside, he is an Arcanist!
What he has in abundance is mana!
Lis’s Mana Value had already broken the 200,000 mark, but his Life Value was just over 50,000.
Compared to other professionals of his level, Lis’s mana value is substantially higher while his life value is average.
But this is only in comparison to professions like Gold-level Warriors and Martial Monks; any Golden Mage would curse their mother at the sight of Lis’s muscles.
That’s partly because Lis has not yet acquired the Martial Monk profession’s Special Skills, and Endurance, which is most closely linked to life value, has not received an attribute enhancement.
Although Lis has not experienced the recovery effect of "Advanced Life Source" and is unclear about the specific speed, it probably lives up to the "advanced" label of the skill.
Lis rubbed his wrist, feeling a slight awkwardness and discomfort in his body.
The transformational increase in Body Attributes made Lis’s control over his body decrease a bit.
After all, this was Lis’s most significant enhancement in body attributes so far, and he needed to familiarize himself with it again.
No wonder that Legendary Priest advised him to go back and retrain his body; with his insight, he must have noticed that Lis’s body enhancement was somewhat exaggerated and kindly offered Lis some advice.
Although a bit troublesome, Lis was truly very pleased in his heart.
Being stronger is always a good thing, especially as it strengthened Lis’s weaknesses in combat power, giving him an itch to try out his new toughness.
Well, let’s retrain the body thoroughly tomorrow morning, and I should also mention today’s events to Uncle Joyce.
The cooperation with the Dawn Church is a win-win scenario for both parties; those guys from the church really are generous!
Lis pressed down on his excited emotions and forced himself to sleep.
