Chapter 156: Intermediate Knight Achievement X: A Busy Holiday (End of Volume 2)

After organizing the knight cultivation method he received from Old Harde, Little Will handed it over to his father, Floret Declan.

With the help of Wren and Light, the family’s inherited knight cultivation method was further upgraded and perfected.

A month after the holidays began, Little Will and his father both advanced to intermediate knights.

However, Little Will’s advancement was a natural progression through his own efforts (are you sure it wasn’t due to the excessive blood qi from the demon sacrifice event that hadn’t been fully digested and was slowly released from his body?).

Floret Declan, on the other hand, used a blood essence to advance after completely recovering from his previous injuries with Miss Una Peck’s wizard potion.

Then, Little Will miraculously discovered that after using the blood essence, his father underwent a slight change, as if he had a hint of an acquired artificial bloodline, though it was very faint and incomplete.

However, it was certain that his talent and potential had significantly improved; advanced knight was no longer an obstacle, and he might even aspire to be a great knight.

After advancing to intermediate knight, Floret Declan could finally hold his head high and claim to be in charge of the knight training hall; otherwise, he always felt uncomfortable in front of Rhet.

The day after Little Will advanced to intermediate knight, Lilith advanced to elementary knight.

When she excitedly ran up to Little Will to tell him the good news and challenge him, Little Will announced his own advancement to intermediate knight.

As a result, Lilith’s fighting spirit grew even stronger!

It’s good to have someone leading the way; at least you don’t have to worry about taking detours.

Seeing Little Will, Floret Declan, and Lilith successively advance, Senior Knight Molly felt that her own improvement speed was too slow, so she sought out Little Will.

“Have you ever heard of bloodline warlocks or body-tempering wizards?” Little Will thought for a moment and countered with a question.

“Are you suggesting I also cultivate as a body-tempering wizard? But my wizard cultivation aptitude is only good, and I’ve missed the best time for cultivation. Can I still achieve anything?

If I don’t advance to a formal wizard before sixty, I’ll never achieve anything. I’m afraid I won’t have enough time,” Senior Knight Molly said with a slight hesitation.

“I’m just pointing you towards a path, not telling you to strictly follow the wizard cultivation path.

There’s a secret that people have overlooked, and I just want you to know about it.

Wizard apprentices visualize and engrave basic runes.

When all thirty-six basic runes are successfully engraved, a very miraculous change will occur.

Visualizing them every day will allow a trace of very pure magic power to enter your body, helping you improve your aptitude and enhance your physical potential.

Don’t blindly pursue higher-level meditation methods; instead, continuously consolidate yourself at the first-level wizard apprentice stage.

Anyway, your main cultivation is as a knight, so you don’t need to overly pursue the speed of wizard cultivation.”

Little Will’s words made Senior Knight Molly thoughtful, and after a moment, she said, “You’ve already engraved all thirty-six basic runes, haven’t you?”

Oh no, I let it slip!

“Having an opponent like you, for Lilith, I really don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing,” Senior Knight Molly sighed faintly, then suddenly asked, “When are you planning to report to the Everything’s Agency?

Your salary has already been paid once, but you haven’t been to the Everything’s Agency even once yet.”

Seemingly sensing Little Will’s guilt, Senior Knight Molly pressed on, “The Everything’s Agency is official business.

You are currently also serving as a training instructor for the city guard, spending a lot of time training them every day.

Count Bordeaux has also spoken highly of you, so let’s set that aside for now.

I remember you were hired by me as a training mentor for the Rose Knight Guild, weren’t you?

How many times have you been to the Knight Guild in the month since the holidays began?

Let me count for you: the first time you brought Angor into the city guard training camp, the second time you brought your father to request the knight training method, the third time, that’s it.”

“I admit to the Everything’s Agency matter, after all, I promised my mother that I wouldn’t report until I officially advanced to intermediate knight.

Although I have the excuse of city guard training, it was indeed my own decision not to go for now.

But for the Rose Knight Guild matter, don’t you feel guilty?” Little Will looked at Senior Knight Molly with a dark expression.

“Who was the orc boxing method I prioritized for adaptation prepared for?

Who has been helping guide Lilith’s daily training?

You wouldn’t think it’s your credit that she was able to advance to elementary knight in a month, would you?

Although I wasn’t physically present, who single-handedly designed the new training plan?

And for the male knight guild, although my father was the one who took action, which of the various training procedures, cultivation methods, even boxing, swordplay routines, breathing techniques, and small tricks wasn’t designed by me?”

“This…” Oh no, I got carried away and forgot about that for a moment.

“It seems a large portion of the newly added students were attracted by me, right?

Ninety percent of the thirty-odd new students at the Rose Knight Guild are asking about me, and almost everyone at the Male Knight Guild came for me.

And the banner the Male Knight Guild is flying actually claims to be the biggest contributor to training a genius like me, using my father as a front.

Don’t tell me that wasn’t your idea?” Little Will only recently learned that his father had also become a celebrity by association.

“Well, the Everything’s Agency just took over the Xist Opera House, and there are many things I need to deal with, so let’s talk another time.” Senior Knight Molly, knowing she was in the wrong, directly made her escape.

“Kid, break time’s over.

Starting today, we’re adapting the Great Earth Demon Bear Fist.

I don’t have much time left here, old man.

Once your vacation ends, I’ll be off to the next city.

Before then, you need to adapt at least seven or eight more sets of orc boxing for me.”

Wren, this old landlord, spared no effort in exploiting his disciple Will, and he did so with a clear conscience.

However, Little Will didn’t lose out; for every boxing method he adapted, Wren would reward him with a set of knight cultivation methods or a set of sword techniques.

This old man was sometimes very open-minded, but on some matters, he was very rigid, meticulously adhering to a clear system of rewards and punishments.

Wren’s help was indispensable in Little Will’s advancement to intermediate knight in a month and a half.

“Coming!” Little Will took a deep breath and walked towards General Wren’s study, but in his heart, he wondered if it was time to report to the Everything’s Agency.

With his current strength as an intermediate knight, he should barely be able to protect himself, right?

But would the old man let him leave?

This old man now almost treated him as his personal translator, and what he was translating was precisely orc boxing.

Hmm, translating orc boxing into imitation orc boxing (human version).
