Nonexistent Wizard Teacher (Please Follow Up)

Nonexistent Wizard Teacher (Please Follow Up) The knight skills he had mastered through countless days and nights of practice and refinement turned into memories that flooded Chen Mu's mind.

There was no sense of unfamiliarity.

It was as though Chen Mu had practiced and mastered them in reality day after day, night after night.

Though his strength had not increased, Chen Mu felt that his combat power had improved by far more than just a little.

The next moment, Chen Mu opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing through them.

Though he had not lived long in this simulation, the increase in his strength had been considerable.

The blue screen representing the Attribute Panel appeared once more.

Name: Chen Mu

Spirit: 1.5

Physique: 3.6

Realm: Formal Knight

Wizardry: None

Breathing Technique: Golden Lion Breathing Method (Mastery 98/1600)

Knight Skills: Lionheart Slash (Mastery 72/1600), Armor Piercing Slash (Beginner 310/400), Starfire Arrow (277/400), Basic Riding (Proficient 530/800), Basic Archery (Mastery 162/1600), Basic Swordsmanship (Mastery 908/1600), Basic Combat (Mastery 311/1600).

Simulations Remaining: 0

Compared to before the simulation, the changes to Chen Mu's panel were immense.

Although neither his Spirit nor Physique had improved at all.

The improvement to his Breathing Technique and Knight Skills, however, was tremendous.

His Breathing Technique had gone from Proficient to Mastery.

Chen Mu instinctively tried circulating the Breathing Technique and discovered that the speed at which it strengthened his Life Seed had indeed increased considerably.

Though it was still slow, he could clearly sense the increase in speed.

Among his Knight Skills, the Quasi-Knight Skill Lionheart Slash had also reached Mastery.

The greatest improvement was that he had learned two true Knight Skills: Armor Piercing Slash and Starfire Arrow.

Knight Skills and Quasi-Knight Skills were completely different. Knight Skills could draw upon the power of the Life Seed.

Formal Knights were powerful because they had activated their Life Seeds. Now that Chen Mu possessed Knight Skills, he could be considered a true Formal Knight as well.

After sorting through his newfound strength, Chen Mu held the book in his hands and began to think.

If circumstances allowed, he naturally wanted to lie low in the Manor until he became a Wizard.

But with the Black Robe Pathseekers Society hanging over his head, Chen Mu had to consider how to break the deadlock.

After all, he did not know whether some of his actions in reality would trigger a butterfly effect and draw retaliation from the Black Robe Pathseekers Society.

Though he had died at twenty-six in the simulation, he only had one life in reality. Chen Mu did not want to gamble, nor could he afford to.

Chen Mu wanted to drag out the person behind the scenes and strike first. Once that person was dead, Chen Mu would naturally be safe.

After all, the person behind the scenes was not especially powerful right now. He had merely created an imposing facade. The fact that he only dared use underhanded methods like assassination made that clear.

This person was clearly borrowing another's influence, using borrowed power to intimidate the Golden Lion Family. His main goal was to make them fearful or wary.

Chen Mu could not help but sigh. If not for the Simulator, he would probably have died several times already.

But even though he now knew that the person behind the scenes belonged to the Black Robe Pathseekers Society, he could not tell his father.

After all, in Earl Arthur's eyes, Chen Mu had no way of obtaining such information.

Chen Mu set the book aside and let out a long breath. Next came the test of his acting skills.

"What? You're saying you became a Wizard's disciple?

And not only did that Wizard fail to teach you a Meditation Method, he even helped you activate your Life Seed and become a Formal Knight?"

Earl Arthur, standing before Chen Mu, was dumbfounded.

His tone was full of disbelief, and his eyes seemed to say, Are you kidding me?

There were simply too many questionable points in Chen Mu's words. For a moment, even he could not process them.

He felt that more had happened to this son of his over the past few months than in the previous seventeen years combined.

That was right. Chen Mu had fabricated a Nonexistent Wizard Teacher.

As for why he had fabricated a Wizard rather than an Epic Knight or something similar, the reason was simple.

First, Wizards were mysterious. Though the Golden Lion Family knew something about Wizards, their understanding was limited.

Second, only a Wizard could easily sneak into Chen Mu's Manor.

There was also a third reason: only a Wizard could help someone with Natural Super Strength like him activate his Life Seed so easily.

Chen Mu solemnly nodded. There was not the slightest trace of jest in his eyes; instead, they held a perfectly measured hint of delight.

Seeing Chen Mu's expression, the shock on Earl Arthur's face gradually faded.

Then he grasped Chen Mu's wrist. The next moment, a Golden Qi Stream flowed from his hand and entered Chen Mu's body.

Chen Mu could clearly feel a gentle current flowing through his body. In the end, it touched his Life Seed before dissipating.

"You really did activate your Life Seed!"

Earl Arthur suddenly felt a headache coming on.

How long had his son been formally practicing a Breathing Technique? A month? This was already beyond anything he could comprehend, so he now believed seventy percent of Chen Mu's words.

"Are you sure he took you as a student and not as an experiment?"

There was concern in Earl Arthur's voice.

What his son had said was simply too fantastical. Even though he believed part of it, he still had his doubts.

Chen Mu knew his father, Earl Arthur, would not accept it so quickly.

The reason he had deliberately sought out Earl Arthur today to tell him this was actually to plant a seed in his father's mind.

That way, when his strength increased rapidly in the future, he would not have to rack his brains for an excuse. A Wizard teacher would be the best explanation.

After all, in this world, there was nothing a Wizard could not do.

"Don't worry, Father. I'm certain that my teacher sincerely accepted me as his student. And he was only passing through here; he isn't from the Winter Kingdom."

Chen Mu spoke, casually filling in some of the holes in his lie.

A nonexistent Wizard who had just happened to pass through.

Naturally, no one could verify whether this lie was true.

Hearing Chen Mu's words, Earl Arthur felt somewhat conflicted, yet he did not know how to respond.

He felt that his youngest son was still too naive. How could a Wizard possibly take on a student for no reason?

Earl Arthur believed that Wizard must have some sort of plan.

And he had even helped his son activate his Life Seed. Such methods had already surpassed the scope of a Wizard Apprentice.

But Earl Arthur knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch. Every gift that seemed to come from fate had long since had its price secretly marked.

The fact that Earl Arthur thought this way meant that, subconsciously, he already believed ninety percent of Chen Mu's words.

After all, everything he was thinking was based on Chen Mu truly having been accepted as a student by a Wizard. One of Chen Mu's goals this time had therefore been achieved.

But Chen Mu had not sought out his father, Earl Arthur, merely to fabricate a Nonexistent Wizard Teacher. He had another purpose.

So Chen Mu put on an unintentional look of confusion and asked, "Oh, right, Father. My teacher also told me that the organization behind my assassination was one from the kingdom called the Black Robe Pathseekers Society, but I've never heard that name before."

There was a perfectly measured amount of confusion and curiosity in Chen Mu's voice.

He seemed to be wondering how he had offended this organization.

When he mentioned the organization's name, Chen Mu had been closely watching Earl Arthur's reaction.

Sure enough, upon hearing the words Black Robe Pathseekers Society, Earl Arthur's brow furrowed.

The previously relaxed atmosphere instantly froze.

Earl Arthur turned his gaze toward Chen Mu, his expression somewhat complicated.
