Reached the Limit

A powerful surge of energy erupted around Chen Mu, even affecting the surrounding environment.

If the Life Seed of a Formal Knight was merely a seed, then upon becoming a Grand Knight, the seed rooted in Chen Mu's heart had sprouted.

If Chen Mu could use Internal Vision, he would have seen tiny shoots growing from the Life Seed.

Those shoots continuously sent energy into Chen Mu's internal organs until it flowed throughout his entire body.

"What tremendous power!"

Chen Mu clenched his fists.

He could now feel the immense increase in his strength with exceptional clarity.

This improvement was even more apparent than when he had advanced from a Quasi-Knight to a Formal Knight.

Without hesitation, Chen Mu summoned the Attribute Panel, and a Transparent Screen appeared before him.

Name: Chen Mu

Spirit: 1.6

Physique: 6.8

Realm: Grand Knight

Wizardry: None

Breathing Technique: Golden Lion Breathing Method (Perfect)

Knight Skills: Lionheart Slash (Mastery 923/1600), Armor Piercing Slash (Mastery 231/1600), Starfire Arrow (Mastery 316/1600), Dual Blade Continuous Slash (Proficient 477/800), Charged Strike (Proficient 512/800), Burst (Proficient 310/800).

Simulations: 0

At a glance, Chen Mu noticed the enormous change in his Physique attribute.

It had increased by more than two points, jumping from 4.7 to 6.8.

Among the attributes manifested by the Simulator, this was already an exceptionally massive improvement.

If an ordinary person's Physique were manifested, it would have been absolutely impossible for it to rise this much upon breaking through from Formal Knight to Grand Knight.

But Chen Mu was no ordinary person. His foundation was simply too solid.

Including the time he had cultivated in simulations, he had practiced the Breathing Technique for several decades.

Moreover, during the simulations, Chen Mu had voluntarily become an experimental subject for Wizard Apprentices and undergone human experimentation.

Those experiments had also improved his Physique, which was why his advancement this time had been so immense.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Mu had been in this world for nearly a year.

He had gone from a young man too weak to truss a chicken to a Grand Knight.

After closing the Attribute Panel, Chen Mu stood and moved his body.

There was no stiffness or awkwardness. Everything he felt was perfectly integrated.

With a thought, a stream of golden energy coiled around Chen Mu's forearm.

The energy showed on the surface of his skin, and Chen Mu could clearly see it with the naked eye.

It had to be said that he was not using the power of any Knight Skill at all.

Chen Mu was confident that even if he faced the Wizard Apprentice who had ambushed him today alone, he could keep that Wizard Apprentice here by himself.

This was not arrogance, but confidence born of his surging strength.

After moving his body, Chen Mu tried circulating the Breathing Technique where he stood.

With every breath in and out, the commotion was far greater than when he had practiced the Breathing Technique as a Formal Knight.

"Just as expected, I can't feel even the slightest improvement."

Just as it had been said in the simulations, Chen Mu could not feel even the slightest improvement from practicing the Breathing Technique now.

It was not merely as slow as a turtle's pace like before. There was truly no improvement at all.

If the previous Chen Mu's ten days of Breathing Technique cultivation had been equivalent to one day for an ordinary person,

then even a year of cultivation now might not equal the improvement he had once gained in a single day.

In other words, ten years of cultivation now would be equivalent to a normal person cultivating for one day.

Such improvement was negligible. It was no different from having no improvement at all.

Chen Mu had not forgotten that he had asked Earl Arthur about this situation in the simulations.

Reached the limit.

There had been no reason for Earl Arthur to deceive him in the simulations.

So only after Chen Mu truly practiced the Breathing Technique now did he realize that Earl Arthur had been right.

The human body had limits. Chen Mu could not break through such limits, at least not yet.

At the end of the day, Chen Mu was only a Grand Knight, at most a Grand Knight with the Simulator.

Perhaps official Wizards had a way to break this limit, but official Wizards were far too distant from Chen Mu right now.

Even Wizard Apprentices were separated from him by the distance of two Secondary Continents.

Fine. From now on, I can use my simulations to pursue the mysterious Wizard Path.

Chen Mu sighed inwardly and made a decision.

He was not the type to neglect the root in pursuit of the branches. Since his body had reached the end of the Knight's Path, his goal from now on would be the Wizard Path.

After all, while Knights were also extraordinary, Wizards had far, far higher limits.

Powerful Wizards could even conquer other planes. It was only natural that Chen Mu had some aspirations of his own.

No longer continuing to circulate the Breathing Technique, Chen Mu left the second-floor room.

Over the next few days, Far East City remained shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

Although the Wizard Apprentice had already been executed, the City Guard had not stopped searching house by house.

After all, they had to ensure that the Wizard Apprentice had no accomplices remaining in the city.

However, the results of the search surprised both Chen Mu and William. That Wizard Apprentice had truly come alone.

It was hard to say whether the Wizard Apprentice had been arrogant or confident, venturing alone into danger only to die here in the end.

"Young Master, we received word from the master. He wants us to return to the Manor first. Aim has already arrived."

William spoke with a solemn expression as he handed a letter to Chen Mu.

Chen Mu took it and glanced at the letter in his hand.

The letter contained Earl Arthur's concern for him.

Its specific contents, however, were an instruction for Chen Mu to return to the Manor as soon as possible and not remain in Far East City.

Chen Mu naturally understood that Far East City was no longer safe.

One Wizard Apprentice had dared to come here to assassinate him. There was no telling whether more than one would come next time.

Earl Arthur understood this as well, which was why he had told Chen Mu to hurry back to the Manor.

"Alright. We'll set out for the Manor at once."

Chen Mu handed the letter back to William and spoke decisively.

He had not forgotten that in all Three Simulations, the Black Robe Pathseekers Society had clashed with the Golden Lion Family in a major battle.

This showed that the battle was already unavoidable.

Chen Mu and William had killed a Wizard Apprentice from the Black Robe Pathseekers Society in Far East City.

If the Black Robe Pathseekers Society made no response at all, then it would not deserve to be called a Wizard organization.

After all, Wizards were a prideful bunch. They could not tolerate a group of ordinary people shitting on their heads.

However, having simulated three times, Chen Mu understood that although the Golden Lion Family ultimately won this battle, he had still been seriously injured every time.

Fortunately, he was now different from how he had been in the simulations. He was now a genuine Grand Knight.

"Alright!"

Upon hearing Chen Mu's words, William immediately replied.

Aim was already waiting at the gate of Far East City.

Earl Arthur placed great importance on Chen Mu's safety, so this time, two Grand Knights would escort Chen Mu back to the Manor.
