A month later, orders were dropped from the Jacques clan leader; Keane would take the position of governor of the prefectural city of Cerre. However, before reaching adulthood, her sister, Jenne, must help her in organizing the affairs of the city.
"Sister Ley, are you going?"
Jenne, Keane, and Lambert all looked at Linley in surprise.
With Keane governor Cerre and Jenne his servants, they both now have relatively relaxed lives. Just as the two of them wanted to find a way to pay Linley, he suddenly declared his intention to depart from the prefectural city of Cerre.
“Sister Ley. "Jenne's eyes are starting to get a little red.
Linley carried a heavy sword, and Bebe on his shoulders. By his side was Haeru, his Blackcloud Panther. Smiling, Linley said, "In this urbanized environment developed within Cerre City, my training was negatively affected. I'm not going too far. I only intended to go to a valley in the mountains near Cerre City to quietly train for a while. ”
For Linley, the most important thing was to still practice. Linley, who was still continuously improving himself, had yet to reach a bottleneck, which made training even more important. At a time like this, he should take the opportunity to increase his strength as much as possible.
There is a record of the Dragonblood Warrior of the Baruch clan reaching Saint level and dominating the world in decades due to intensive training.
Experts must be able to withstand loneliness.
"Valley?" Jenne and Keane both sighed in relief.
“Alright, if I have free time, I will come visit. I've helped you as much as I can. In the future, you have to rely on yourself. "Say Linley while laughing.
When he saw these two brothers, Keane and Jenne, Linley would often think of his own younger brother, Wharton. Currently, he and Wharton had also lost their parents.
"I wonder how Wharton's doing. After I finish understanding the level beyond 'force', I will go pay a visit to him. ”
Linley knew very well that now, during Wharton's training in the O'Brien Empire, there was no need for him to disturb Wharton. Moreover, just by self-studying Wharton would grow the fastest.
Once Linley was on Wharton's side, Wharton would probably unconsciously have a negative impact.
… .
To the east of Cerre, there is a green and sunny mountain range with a simple little valley. Linley set up a wooden room here, then began to engage in quiet training.
Late at night, in the mountain valley. There was a green plains of grass, and even a small lake in the middle.
Linley sat in a meditative trance close to the lake. His eyes closed as he adjusted to nature. At his side, there was a blazing bonfire, throwing flickering light on Linley's face.
Linley could sense the vastness of the earth, the flow of wind, and the flow of water. He could feel the fire's passion …
As a magus, especially one with an overwhelming affinity for the elemental essence of wind and earth, Linley's ability to align himself with nature was far superior to most warriors.
This was the reason why the Baruch clan ancestor who used heavy war destroyers as his weapon only managed to reach the 'force' level after entering the Saint level. After all, it was harder for warriors to become one with nature, compared to magi.
"The 'Thunderbolt' technique was studied when I reached the level of 'holding something heavy as if light' containing explosive force, like a volcanic eruption. As for the so-called 'force', it contains the 'force of force' of nature itself, of the earth, fire, water, and wind. But…"
After meditating for a long time, Linley suddenly understood.
“The 'imposing' level is simply 'imposing force' that borrows from the forces of nature around it. Levels that are above 'imposing' should include all. I need to pursue the most suitable path for this. ”
In the darkness of the night, Linley remained there in a meditative pose. His eyes suddenly opened, and they were as glittering as the stars in the night sky.
“Different weapons need to be used in different ways. The heavy sword strength lies in its weight! As for this heavy sword, Bladeless, naturally did not rely on its sharp edges. It openly relies on its tremendous weight and performs direct and open attacks. ”
Linley's spirit faintly sensed something.
The principle of training with a heavy sword was very similar to the basic principle of the earth itself.
“The vast earth is solid and heavy. The vast earth is unlimited. The vast earth was stable .. "Linley held an adamantine heavy sword in her hand, but her heart completely merged with the pulsating pulse on earth.
This unique pulsation of earth vibrations has a heart-shaking rhythm. In general, only people who have reached a very high level of attunement to the earth will feel it.
Linley.
He began to silently wield the adamantine heavy sword. As the adamantine heavy sword danced about, Linley's own movements and his sword movements began to enter into a certain unique rhythm.
It is a rhythm that is like the heartbeat of a person.
"Whoosh's. ”
The adamantine heavy sword seemed to carry a million pounds of strength, as it slashed through the air many times. As Linley swung his heavy sword repeatedly, he felt as if he had truly become one with the earth. Just by training with his heavy sword, he felt as if he alone was now bearing the weight of the earth.
"Booms. ”
Linley's heavy adamantine sword suddenly pierced straight into the air. Several explosions were heard in succession. This empty stab upwards had caused the air itself to explode. It's unimaginable! This was because no matter how fast the weapon could move, it could at most cause a single sonic boom. Causing some sonic boom is almost impossible.
"Hmm?" Linley's eyes suddenly lit up.
But just like that, after being distracted, Linley was no longer engrossed with the almost magical feeling of being one with nature.
“What happened back then? I did not use battle-qi, but my strength was split into several rhythmic pulses in the attack. ”
Linley began to ponder this question.
When in the middle of training, people sometimes get into certain conditions and reach amazing levels of strength. But if they were unable to fully understand the circumstances they had entered into, they would not be able to use his strength anymore so easily.
What Linley needed to do now was to continue pondering and constantly train.
He must master everything and be in complete control!
……
Sky blue sea, pure blue color without a little other color. Some beautiful lazy clouds flashed above him. Linley's life in the valley was indeed very quiet.
The wind is blowing. Lake rippling.
Currently, Linley was not training. He was fishing in the valley lake. One cannot always be trained; if they do, it can actually be counter-productive.
His heart has become one with the world, one with nature.
When he practiced, this made his level of improvement extremely high.
“Sister Ley. "From outside the valley, a happy voice could be heard. Linley turned around and looked at Jenne with a nice stallion. Behind him, there were two beautiful female servants on horseback. These two female servants were obviously very talented, as their movements on their horses were trained riders.
"Jenne. "Linley put down the fishing line and stood up.
Neither Bebe nor Haeru currently existed. The two often went further into the mountains to hunt wild beasts for food. The beasts in this mountain range Linley had chosen to stay in all ordinary beasts. Magical beasts are extremely rare.
"Sister Ley, here are some dishes I prepared. "Jenne pulled out the package from the back of his horse. The package was well wrapped. “You definitely can't eat too good here. Come on, big brother Ley, has good taste. ”
Jenne opened the package, one layer at a time. Inside was a metal box, filled with all sorts of dishes as well as rice.
Linley sniffed.
"mmmmmmm. It smells so good. "Linley laughs.
Jenne's face instantly flushed red with excitement.
But in his heart, Linley sighed. How could Linley not know how Jenne was feeling? In terms of appearance and temperament, Jenne is perfect. But after experiencing so much, it was difficult for Linley to open the depths of his heart and let others in
"Love?"
Linley sighed to himself.
He is not interested in the affairs of the heart. The most important thing for now is to focus on his training. Right at this moment, a scene could not help but suddenly flashed through Linley's mind.
After Linley's father died, all the nobles came to pay their respects in Wushan city. That night, Delia came to visit him. He wanted to tell Linley that he was back in the Yulan Empire. And that night, before she left.
"Delia?"
Aside from Alice, perhaps the only person Linley felt romantic affection towards was this girl whom he had known since his first year at the Ernst Institute, especially after displaying the open affection Delia showed him. Although Linley had never acknowledged it openly, in his heart, the image of Delia had been etched in his mind.
"Sister Ley, eat it!" Jenne said expectantly.
Linley sighed to himself. “I can't let Jenne waste her youth like this. "As he thought to himself, Linley began to eat earnestly while praising," This was really good. It feels amazing. ”
Hearing Linley's praise, Jenne smiled.
“Jenne, in the future, you don't need to come visit me. When I practice, I don't like to be disturbed. "Say Linley to Jenne.
Jenne's shocked.
"Oh. "Jenne muttered, then she smiled. "Then when you have free time, big brother Ley, come visit us at the castle. ”
"Yelvin . "Linley could only respond decisively.
…
Linley's training days in the mountain valley passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed. With regard to how to use the adamantine heavy sword properly, Linley gradually began to find the right path.
As long as he persisted on this path, in the next few years, he would definitely be able to reach a new level that was beyond the 'force' level'!
…
In a secluded hotel in the prefectural city of Cerre.
The hotel is very dimly lit, and the atmosphere tends to be dark, giving the impression of twilight. Each table was arranged in a very orderly manner, and between each booth, there was a screen.
It is a very quiet hotel with a comfortable atmosphere. The first time Linley came here, he liked that.
The cost here is also quite high.
While he was practicing, in general, every seven or eight days, Linley would come here and drink wine while listening to the elegant and beautiful hotel music. Very often, he would hear gossip from the travelers.
“It's almost July. Wharton's school year is about to begin. "Linley thought to herself.
Currently, there are several customers in this hotel. All of the customers involved in the conversation quite meticulously lowered their voices as they spoke, but when Linley focused, he could clearly hear every word of every conversation they had.
Suddenly, a calm conversation caught Linley's attention.
"You've heard? In the imperial capital, an incredible genius had appeared. A seventeen year old boy named 'Wharton'. "On the table next to Linley, there were three middle-aged men. They were discussing the various imperial geniuses.
Whartons?
Linley focused his attention on them.
After spending so much time in the O'Brien Empire, Linley had yet to learn anything about Wharton.
"Are you talking about the genius who appeared out of nowhere in O'Brien Academy?" The bald man's eyes lit up. "I've heard of him too. End of year competitions for seventh grade students always receive a lot of attention. Even some students who had reached the eighth rank would participate on the occasion. ”
As the number one warrior academy in the Yulan continent, O'Brien Academy was divided into seven classes.
After reaching the seventh rank, a warrior was accepted into the seventh grade.
A warrior of the seventh rank was qualified to graduate, but many of them still chose to stay in the academy. Even some warriors of the eighth rank were in no hurry to graduate.
"Birds of bald old carcasses, you've heard this news as well? Wharton it really . wow. "A jade-haired middle-aged man sighed. “New seventeen years. In the past, he had never participated in any annual competition. This time, when he took part in the seventh grade competition, he actually defeated a warrior of the eighth rank to become the seventh grade champion. ”
"What's? A seventeen-year-old boy who defeated a warrior of the eighth rank? Are you serious? Is this real? ”A fat man who had only listened until now suddenly spoke in shock.
The bald man glanced at him. “Of course it's real. I personally witnessed it. You don't know. This Wharton was about two meters tall and very powerfully built. His physical presence alone puts tremendous pressure on people. His weapon of choice was a gigantic, terrifying warlord. Wearing that warblade, the Wharton was actually able to defeat a warrior of the eighth rank to become the seventh grade champion. ”
“From what I heard, for this Wharton who could already defeat a warrior of the eighth rank now meant that he would most likely be able to reach the eighth rank by himself at the age of twenty. In the past, the Prodigy Sword Saint, Olivier, reached the ninth rank when he was thirty. Wharton's natural abilities aren't too far off. "The jade-haired man praised as well," For a seventeen-year-old to be able to defeat a warrior of the eighth rank was incredible. It had been a long time since the empire had produced a genius like this. He was even publicly acknowledged as the number one genius in O'Brien Academy, and the Emperor had given him the title of Count. ”
