Chapter 6

"War God Academy, huh?"

Leilin knew that the War God Academy was the best knight academy in the Salar Kingdom where George was from. It only admitted nobles, and the admission criteria were very strict, reportedly accepting only true geniuses!

"Swordsmanship is just my hobby; only a wizard is my lifelong pursuit!"

While the power of knights was strong, it was still within Leilin's understanding and had not exceeded the limits. However, the legendary wizards were powerful beings capable of manipulating the elements and obtaining long life!

The strength of wizards was clearly beyond human boundaries, something Leilin could not even imagine.

Moreover, every wizard was a knowledgeable scholar who studied the natural world with a rigorous attitude, found patterns, and utilized them to gain great power! This approach suited Leilin's previous identity as a scientist even more.

"Exactly! Even a grand knight is just a servant to a formal wizard. The power wizards wield is beyond our imagination..."

George's face was serious, and he spoke in a tone of lament.

"Why does everything you say make me feel like I'm listening to a bard..." Leilin rolled his eyes slightly.

"Ha ha... Isn't it because my old man sent me to the royal court for so-called noble training, and I turned out like this!" George returned to his usual self.

Suddenly, he blinked mischievously and said, "Leilin, you don't have a fiancée yet, right? How about I introduce my sister Lila to you! She's a well-known beauty..."

"Get lost!"

Under the moonlight, the two young men played and left the grass.

"Good night! George!"

"Good night! Leilin!"

Leilin handed the cross sword to George, said goodbye, and returned to the carriage.

The dim carriage was still occupied by only him. The carriage emitted a faint, unpleasant smell, a mix of decay and sweat, which made the noble youths avoid staying in the carriage during rest times, running to the grass like wild horses to play.

The sexual views in this world were very open, especially for nobles. Through the powerful perception provided by the chip, Leilin had discovered many couples engaging in intimate activities, which forced him to choose a place farther from the camp for training.

Thinking of the scenes he had seen with his keen eyes, Leilin felt a surge of anger, reminding him of the memories of the previous spoiled young master.

"Who would have thought! Changing to a young body even enhanced my desires..." Leilin smiled bitterly.

He calmed down a bit and said, "Chip! Show me my body data!"

"Leilin Farrell: Strength 1.5, Agility 1.6, Constitution 1.4, Status: Healthy"

It had been over a month since he started practicing the knight breathing technique. Leilin's current physical condition not only caught up with his peers but even surpassed them. When facing George, he concealed his strength, leading George to make some incorrect guesses.

"Great! It's time for today's training!"

Leilin assumed a posture and entered the training state. This was his daily routine. According to the chip's prompt, training at night and then practicing the breathing technique yielded the best results.

After about twenty minutes, Leilin was drenched in sweat, but the black impurities flowing out were clearly less.

"Phew!" Leilin opened his eyes, looked at himself, and said helplessly, "The effect of the breathing technique is weakening, which is reasonable. According to the chip's calculations, even after optimization, the secret breathing technique of the Farrell family will completely lose its effect after improving my physical attributes to 2... This is the realm of a squire. From now on, only through personal effort and the stimulation of life and death can I attempt to activate life energy and make further progress..."

Thinking about this, Leilin took a yellow berry from his shirt pocket. The berry had some black spots on its surface, looking somewhat terrifying.

Leilin directly threw the berry into his mouth and then took out a plant's root, chewing it vigorously.

"Beep! The subject's cell fatigue has been relieved, and you can now resume the knight breathing technique training!"

The chip's voice sounded.

"Alright!" These plant combinations were the result of Leilin's experiments over the past month, effectively relieving physical fatigue and increasing the number of daily training sessions.

In addition, the concoction of some physical enhancement potions allowed Leilin's physical attributes to improve so quickly.

"Again!" Leilin once again entered the state of the knight breathing technique.

Over the past month, the convoy had passed through several small kingdoms and then entered the wilderness region.

The wilderness region was sparsely populated, with only desolate yellow sand, fierce beasts, and bandits showing any signs of activity.

Since entering this area, the convoy had encountered several dangers, though there were no casualties. However, Leilin's sense of crisis grew stronger, and his desire for strength became more urgent.

...

When the morning light shone, the convoy set off again.

Leilin crossed his arms and sat alone, with several young men around him avoiding him with disgust, leaving a space around him.

"I wonder what method Besta used, but the people in the carriage are still isolating me. If it were an ordinary young man, he would probably have been driven mad by now! Unfortunately, he met me!"

Leilin stretched lazily, feeling quite comfortable. He had trained until late last night and was quite tired. This empty space was perfect for a short rest.

"Only, this world is truly vast. The convoy has been moving for half a year, and we still haven't reached our destination, nor have we seen the sea..."

Leilin thought, half-closing his eyes and falling into a nap.

Ding Ling Ling!!!

At this moment, the carriage had stopped, and the black-robed man shook the bell in his hand, "Ladies and gentlemen! Time to get off and enjoy lunch!"

"Is it time again?" Leilin opened his eyes, "This life is truly boring!"

He got off the carriage, collected his share of food, and walked to a patch of grass at the edge of the camp.

The substitute plants he had collected earlier were used up, and Leilin planned to gather more.

As he walked, he casually observed the surrounding plants, "This is a pecan nut, already in the database, useless to me!"

"Hmm! Sandman grass, a plant found only in the wilderness, worth recording!" Leilin pulled up a small, earth-colored plant. The plant had serrated edges, quite sharp. Leilin carefully broke the plant, and green sap flowed from the break. He touched a bit with his finger and put it in his mouth, then showed a disappointed look.

"Found it, the flowerless snake fruit!" Leilin put the Sandman grass on the ground and, as he walked, caught sight of the yellow berry he had eaten yesterday, his face lighting up with joy.

"Hehe! Look what I see! Leilin! Should I say you truly live up to being a small noble from the countryside? Eating wild fruits by the roadside! Truly tarnishing the honor of our nobility..."

Just as Leilin put the flowerless snake fruit in his pocket, he heard a hateful voice.

"Olin?" Leilin looked up and saw the murderer who had killed the previous spoiled young master.

Olin had fiery red hair, a muscular body, and arms as thick as Leilin's thighs. He was now standing with his arms crossed, mocking Leilin.

A few noble young men stood beside him, joining in the mockery.

"Chip! Scan data!"

"Scan complete! Olin: Strength 1.7, Agility 1.2, Constitution 1.5, Status: Healthy"

The chip provided the information.

Leilin looked at the data in front of him. Olin's strength was excellent, nearly as strong as two adults, no wonder he could severely injure the previous Leilin to the point of death.

As noble children, as long as they endured hardship, trained daily, and practiced the breathing technique, having such data was not surprising.

The few nobles following Olin were not as strong, most below 1. Leilin even saw a pale-faced young man with data hovering around 0.5, comparable to the previous Leilin.

Leilin mentally calculated that Olin's strength was similar to his, but in terms of swordsmanship and techniques, he could not match Leilin, who had the chip.

The other young men were just numbers, with a significant gap in data, making it easy to deal with them, like an adult bullying a child.

"What's the matter?" Leilin asked, his tone extremely calm.

"You..." Leilin's reaction was clearly unexpected by Olin, neither angry nor afraid, leaving him unsure how to continue.

"If it's about Besta, haven't I already apologized? Besta has forgiven me..." Leilin continued.

At the same time, he thought, this might be Besta's test. After a month of endurance, she finally couldn't hold back?

"Exactly! It's because of Besta! She forgave you, but I haven't!" Olin clenched his fists, his voice loud.

"Alright! What do you want?" Leilin spread his hands, seeming somewhat helpless, but with a mocking look in his eyes.

Not expecting Leilin to be so cooperative, Olin struggled for a moment before saying, "You swear that you will never provoke Besta again!"

"Fine!" Leilin immediately agreed and placed his right hand on his chest emblem, which featured a cross sword and a lark, the family emblem of the Farrells!

"I swear, by the name of the Farrell family, that I will not actively provoke Besta in the future!"

Swearing by the family name was a serious matter among nobles, and violators would be shunned by all nobles.

"Then, Mr. Olin, may I leave?" Leilin bowed slightly, performing a perfect noble salute.

"Wait!" Olin seemed surprised by Leilin's weakness. His eyes now showed a greedy look: "According to noble rules, you must also provide compensation, hand over all the magic stones you have!"

"Magic stones!" The onlookers gasped.

"Magic stones?" Leilin repeated. According to his memory, magic stones seemed to be the common currency among wizards and were also the required fee for wizard apprentices without credentials to enter.

Leilin did not know the exact fee for formal admission, as he had no magic stones. Viscount John had tried many ways to collect magic stones but failed to get any, showing how precious they were!
