[Simulation Count: 0]
Compared to before, his Realm has changed from Peak Quasi-Knight to Official Knight.
His physique attribute had made great progress, even his spiritual attribute had increased by 0.2 after activating the Life Seed.
Don’t look down on this 0.2 increment. At this point, Milton Cheney can clearly feel that his thinking has become more agile than
before.
According to Milton Cheney’s judgment, the spiritual attribute should be inseparably intertwined with the Wizard Path.
Milton Cheney instinctively tries to manipulate the golden airflow concentrated in his heart, but it doesn’t budge at all.
The golden airflow remained motionless in the center of his heart, but Milton Cheney wasn’t too concerned.
Because this situation is normal.
The Golden Qi generated from activating the Life Seed through the Golden Lion Breathing Technique could not be manipulated
at will and requires Knight Skills to control it.
Only upon becoming a Grand Knight can one manipulate this Golden Qi at will for every move.
However, if you don’t have Knight Skills, this Golden Qi is not useless either.
If the usage of Knight Skills is considered an active ability, then the Golden Qi itself is a passive ability.
In the combat process, this Golden Qi located at the heart center would automatically supplement your physical strength, it’s as if
you have a mana regeneration BUFF active.
This is the absolute advantage of an Official Knight over a Quasi-Knight: greater strength, thanks to the Qi, significantly more
physical stamina than a Quasi-Knight, and they have external plugin-like Knight Skills.
Releasing Knight Skills with Qi brings immense gains to an Official Knight.
Milton Cheney finds it hard to imagine how he managed to kill two Official Knights at the level of Quasi-Knight in the second
simulation.
Perhaps not all Official Knights are as strong as he is.
After all, Milton Cheney has not yet really crossed swords with an Official Knight, and he is not clear about the strength of other
Official Knights either.
Keep in mind that Milton Cheney hasn’t even been in this world for three months, and he has reached a level that ordinary
people may not achieve in their entire lives.
From an ordinary person to an Official Knight, all it took for Milton Cheney are just three simulations.
Even the Wizard Path doesn’t seem as mysterious as before now to Milton Cheney’s eyes.
What’s the big deal about Level 5 qualification? With the help of the Simulator, if one simulation doesn’t work, try two times!
If two times fail, try ten times!
If ten times don’t work, try a hundred times!
He doesn’t believe that he couldn’t become a wizard after accumulating hundreds of simulations.
……
For the next few days, Milton Cheney didn’t continue hunting in the mountains.
Instead, he sparred with William at the Training Ground of More Castle every day.
Naturally, William suppressed his full strength, using neither Qi nor Knight Skills.
Milton Cheney also didn’t reveal the strength of an Official Knight.
After all, in William’s eyes, he is just a Quasi-Knight with Innate Giant Strength, not an Official Knight who practices the Breathing
Technique.
This is deliberate on Milton Cheney’s part. Although he is an Official Knight now, his combat capability is still rather raw.
Sparring with a restrained William was highly beneficial in improving his combat abilities.
On the Training Ground, clad in silvery-white armor, Milton Cheney held a long sword, eliciting resounding sounds from his
footwork.
William, facing him, was without armor, wielding a sword with a single hand.
Even with such casual moves, he could precisely block each of Milton Cheney’s sword slashes.
Although Milton Cheney was wearing his armor, he still moved with great agility.
The sound of clashing knight swords echoed continuously throughout the training ground.
William was merely defending and not launching any attack, as he intended to instruct Milton on his moves.
Amid the flickering sword light, Milton moved back and forth in the field, sometimes charging forward and retreating, other times
swinging his heavy sword.
His actions flowed fluidly and accurately.
William’s movements were minuscule, and by merely shifting his position slightly, he could effortlessly deflect all of Milton’s
attacks.
“The gap is just too big.”
Milton sighed inwardly.
With the strength of a peak quasi-knight alone, Milton couldn’t even make William, who suppressed his real strength, back off
half a step.
The metallic friction of the armor reverberated as Milton increased his speed once more.
The silvery-white long sword swung heavily out from Milton’s hand, as if air itself was being split open.
That was Milton’s all-out blow. Although it didn’t reach the standard of an official knight, it was undoubtedly at the peak of a
quasi-knight.
“Good!”
Seeing that sword strike, a sparkle flashed in William’s eyes, and a streak of white airflow seemed to pass over his arm the next
moment.
“Clang!”
The confrontation of the two Knight Swords produced a huge crisp sound, as if a spark of fire had splashed into the air.
This strike was still blocked by William, but he invoked Qi unconsciously.
The application was entirely subconscious.
A grand knight, due to the habitual use of Qi against enemies for a long time, would sometimes instinctively apply Qi, and it’s
already a routine.
However, this signified that Milton’s heavy sword posed a faint threat to William.
If there were no threat at all, William wouldn’t have made these subconscious movements.
“Young master, your sword skills are already quite remarkable. The combination of your innate giant strength and skillful
swordsmanship, if your combat capability were a bit stronger, you would be unparalleled in the realm of the quasi-knight,” said
William with admiration.
William wore an approving look on his face, and his tone was sincere, indeed expressing his thoughts.
“When you return this time, the master should teach you the breathing technique. Afterwards, you can’t be too complacent. It’s
extremely difficult for someone with your innate giant strength to activate the Life Seed, and there can’t be any negligence.”
Despite his admiration, William was afraid that Milton would develop a sense of pride and complacency, and thus sternly
reminded him with a serious expression.
Naturally, starting with innate giant strength is a great advantage, but the difficulty in trying to activate the Life Seed to become
an official knight is also steep.
It’s as if the heavens open a window for you, only to shut a door for you at the same time.
Hearing William’s words, Milton nodded solemnly. He naturally understood William’s concerns.
However, it was evident that William’s concerns were unnecessary.
William didn’t know that Milton’s innate giant strength was a counterfeit, and he knew even less that Milton had already become
an official knight at this point.
Taking off his silver-white knight armor and returning the long sword to its sheath, Milton left the training ground together with
William.
Due to Hunting Day, only Milton and William were on the training ground.
Besides Milton, the rest of the young nobles continued to enter the mountains for hunting every day. After all, not everyone was
like Milton.
Milton felt that hunting was meaningless to him, but the other nobles found it to be an interesting experience.
After leaving the training ground, Milton returned to his room after cleaning up.
Then, just like any other day, he took down a book from the bookshelf and slowly flipped through the pages.
It was not until recently that Milton found reading makes his mood calm.
While reading, a sense of tranquility surrounded him, making him feel incredibly peaceful.
His superior spiritual power enabled him to immerse himself in the world of the book quickly.
As he got absorbed in the world of words, his mood became calm and steady, a state actually somewhat similar to the Wizard’s
meditation.
This was a state of unrestraint, relaxed, and spontaneous.
In fact, if Milton knew, he would realize that to practice the Wizard Meditation Technique, the first step is to reach this state.
The current him, can already meet the first condition to practice the Wizard Meditation Technique.
