Chapter 175 Elven Express, the Purpose Must Be Fulfilled (2/2)

Ling carried on briefing Joshua about the events around his own territory. As Joshua was listening, he would also occasionally give some instructions to Ling. Meanwhile, the young male Divine Armament wrote down the instructions in a small notebook. He was writing them down seriously.

Unconsciously, the number of people around him has increased. Meanwhile, the workload had become much easier to bear.

After watching Ling finished reporting to him and walking back into the mansion along with the small notebook in his hand, Joshua smiled while looking at Ling's figure walking away. Then he nodded appreciatively. He could not help but sigh a little, ”It feels good… Divine Armaments. Regardless of whether it is battles or handling chores, they are really great assistants.”

With the help of Ling and Ying, Joshua had currently rid himself of most of his official duties. For almost a month, Joshua basically kept on training himself intensely. He also focused on training his knights and the city guards.

With his current advancement into the pinnacle of Upper Golden tier, the most important thing now was no longer increasing the power of his Combat Aura, or strengthening his body. Instead, he should be focusing on understanding how to control those powers that he had in a much smoother manner.

If he could perfectly grasp every trace of the power in his current state, then he would not have to strain too much like he did last time when he unleashed his full power.

He was currently Level 48. He would require an enormous sum of Experience Points if he ever wanted to reach Level 50 and cross into the realm of Supreme Tier. So before he could find an Experience source that could provide him that much of Experience Points, he still had plenty of time to spare. Well, that amount of time should allow him to completely master the powerful strength he now obtained.

Glancing at the knights before him, Joshua noticed that some of them had potential. So he decided to bestow them the knowledge of using 'Steel Armor Kokyu-ho' and 'Rock Drake Kokyu-ho'. One of these two skills was to enhance the toughness of one's body and strength, while the other was to enhance one's instant surge in power and endurance. Both of these skills could be obtained through extra trainings. However, Joshua believed that these knights' Gift would not be so advanced for them to learn both at the same time.

Sometimes, the gains from these extra trainings would not necessarily compare to focusing on training one specialized skill. Once their strength could improve, their endurance would also improve. After their endurance and strength improved, their power levels would surely advance further. Hence, it seemed that it would be wiser to focus on training one specialized skill than having extra trainings to learn two skills within the same period of time. In other words, it would be much better to specialize in one skill to strengthen the power level instead of learning two skills to be used interchangeably.

The air in early spring was still very cold. However, there were more than thirty knights doing training exercises in the middle of the training field as they were soaking wet from their own sweat. They were not doing any high-intensity training. Instead, they were just standing on the ground, breathing in a strange pace. Along with every breath, air flowed into their lungs, vibrating across their bodies, muscles, blood, guiding the energy of their Combat Aura hidden deep within their bodies, directing that energy out to enhance their bones and internal organs.

”Men find the source of magic power and Combat Aura from the laws of nature, and use them as a source to grow stronger one step after another. Logic and wisdom support the strength of humans. Hence, the power is deep-rooted, not just some rootless duckweeds. In the meantime, the power will also create a new order and maintain it. Hence, if you want to break through the limits of your human body, getting another step ahead, you will need to read more, understand the world's knowledge, and use the knowledge as a source to strengthen your beliefs. Having a foundation without beliefs, the Combat Aura in your bodies will only be as good as stones, as charcoal. They will not burn; they will not emit stronger power.”

As he was monitoring the knights training hard, Joshua would give his advice and guidance occasionally. Well, what he said were true. They were indeed the truths of this world. Without knowledge, one would not understand the meaning of the 'Respiration'. Because of that, the person would not understand the origin and causes of the existence of Combat Aura. Without all that, the person would never even think of understanding Glorious Strength that originated from deep within a soul. Without the basics and the knowledge, these knights would not even correct themselves in their own battle methods. So they could only rely on studying and training.

Most of the knights that were present had never really read a book before. Other than their own names, they could not even recognize the simplest words—Well, becoming a knight did not require them to have literacy. However, to become a powerful warrior, one must understand the principles and Order of this world. In order to prevent his own people from becoming illiterate in the future, Joshua had also specially invited several scholars, teachers over to educate these knights and warriors of his territory.

”Of course, what I said just now are for the those who have already reached the pinnacle of the Silver tier—you guys are not even close to that yet! So focus on strengthening your body and the power of your bodies first! Today, the target of the final training will be running three rounds over the entire main city! Begin now! After you're done with the training, you're going to be attending cultural classes. No absentees!”

After looking at the time, thinking that it was almost time, Joshua decided to dismiss the knights from their 'Kokyu-ho' training after seeing the despairing eyes of the knights.

He quickly changed into a new set of clothes and prepared to get back to his mansion.

According to the craftsmen, on the day after tomorrow, the reconstruction of the new Lord's Mansion in the middle of the city would finally be completed. The renovations for the interior of the mansion were complete. Currently, there were only some minor problems on the detailing of decorating the mansion, for instance, such as dusting and varnishing the wood.

Back at the temporary mansion, Joshua had received another new news from another servant.

The fruit of the Tree of Life had been delivered there.
