Revealing Grand Knight Cultivation and the Secret of Natural Super Strength (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

Revealing "Grand Knight Cultivation" and "the Secret of Natural Super Strength" (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

Family Dungeon, inside one of the castles.

"Vieri, have you thought it over? If you stay here, you won't be in any danger even if people from the Black Robe Pathseekers Society come for you."

Earl Arthur looked at Chen Mu, his tone carrying a hint of confidence.

In fact, he had his own reasons for bringing Chen Mu to the place where the family trained its Dark Guards.

On one hand, he wanted Chen Mu to see the family's foundations.

On the other hand, it was also a form of protection for Chen Mu.

Because he knew that the Black Robe Pathseekers Society would not let the death of a Wizard Apprentice go.

Of course, there was another thought he did not voice. Still, he looked at Chen Mu with a faint smile. He would respect Chen Mu's choice.

Hearing Earl Arthur's words, Chen Mu did not answer immediately. Instead, he considered it.

"No, Father. Although it's safe here, as the family's Guardian Knight, I think I should face the enemy alongside the family."

In the end, Chen Mu still shook his head and spoke.

It was not that Chen Mu did not want to lie low. If not hiding here meant certain death in the coming battle, then Chen Mu would definitely choose to stay in the dungeon.

After all, no one could disregard their own life.

But having gone through the simulations, Chen Mu knew that this battle posed no life-or-death danger to him.

Besides, in the simulations, he had gone into battle even when he was only a Formal Knight. Now that he was already a Grand Knight, he naturally had no reason to avoid the fight.

There was another reason as well: Chen Mu was no saint.

The Black Robe Pathseekers Society had tried to assassinate him several times, and they had killed him so many times in the simulations. Their feud was already irreconcilable.

Nothing would settle that score better than personally killing those people from the Black Robe Pathseekers Society.

After all, what grudge could he have against the dead?

"Vieri, you..."

Earl Arthur was about to persuade him again, but in the next moment, his eyes widened and his voice filled with disbelief.

Because a layer of golden airflow had suddenly wrapped around Chen Mu's hands.

As a Peak Grand Knight, Earl Arthur was naturally no stranger to what that airflow represented.

"How is that possible?!"

At this moment, Earl Arthur was no longer merely surprised. He was shocked.

As the current head of the Golden Lion Family, Earl Arthur possessed exceptional knightly talent.

Yet even he knew how difficult it was for someone to break through from a Formal Knight to a Grand Knight.

But now, he had seen his son rise from a Formal Knight to a Grand Knight in just half a year. His feelings were easy to imagine.

Shock, wild joy, and disbelief mixed together, making even a man who had held a high position for many years lose his composure somewhat.

"Father, I'm already a Grand Knight."

Chen Mu spoke softly.

Of course I know you're a Grand Knight, but isn't this far too fast?!

Earl Arthur could not calm the turmoil in his heart for the moment.

Chen Mu had ultimately revealed his Grand Knight cultivation for a simple reason.

There was no need to hide it. From countless simulations, he could see that Earl Arthur would absolutely never harm him.

If he had transmigrated as some boy from the slums, then hiding his strength would naturally have been necessary. After all, the tallest tree in the forest was the first to be struck by the wind.

But he had been born into the Golden Lion Family and had a father who valued him immensely, so there was no great need to deliberately hide his strength now.

After all, what was the point of playing weak before his father? There was none at all.

On the contrary, revealing his Grand Knight cultivation would make his father value him even more.

Moreover, since Chen Mu had chosen to face the Black Robe Pathseekers Society head-on, his cultivation would be exposed sooner or later anyway. Hiding it was even more pointless.

Of course, even after exposing his Grand Knight cultivation, he had a way to explain it.

"It should be because of Natural Super Strength. After becoming a Formal Knight, I found that my Breathing Technique cultivation progressed exceptionally quickly."

That was right. The talent of Natural Super Strength was precisely the explanation Chen Mu had prepared for why he had become a Grand Knight so quickly.

After all, before Chen Mu, there had been only one person in the entire kingdom who possessed Natural Super Strength and became a Grand Knight.

"Natural Super Strength, Natural Super Strength?"

Earl Arthur muttered it twice, then his voice became somewhat astonished.

He suppressed his shock, and the way he looked at Chen Mu became strange.

Seeing Earl Arthur's gaze, Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged as he touched his nose.

He was actually a little embarrassed inside.

After all, he knew better than anyone that this Natural Super Strength business was something he had made up.

If he truly possessed Natural Super Strength, then after all these simulations, he would probably already be an Epic Knight.

But what Chen Mu did not know was that Natural Super Strength was not as wonderful as he imagined.

Earl Arthur actually knew the person with Natural Super Strength who had become an Epic Knight.

There was a reason Earl Arthur had not immediately considered Natural Super Strength.

Did Teru lie to me?

Does Natural Super Strength really improve by leaps and bounds after becoming a Formal Knight? It must be so. Then his actions back then were merely to mislead people? What a Teru. You fooled everyone in the kingdom!

Many thoughts arose in Earl Arthur's mind, but his expression did not change much.

Thus, Chen Mu could not discern anything from Earl Arthur's face.

What Chen Mu did not know was that the claim that those with Natural Super Strength would make rapid progress in Breathing Technique cultivation after becoming Formal Knights was actually false.

Although this rumor had spread throughout the kingdom, most nobles who knew the truth understood that it was fake.

Earl Arthur had always believed so as well.

However, the Earth Knight at the center of the rumor had never refuted it. Thus, although countless nobles knew it was false, none had deliberately spoken out about it.

Natural Super Strength was more like God closing the door to knightly cultivation for you, then opening a window out of consolation.

Just thinking about it made it obvious. If someone found it so difficult even to break through to Formal Knight, how could they possibly advance by leaps and bounds after becoming one? It was completely unreasonable.

That was why, when Earl Arthur had mentioned that person to Chen Mu before, he had merely wanted to offer Chen Mu some psychological comfort so that his son would not fall into despair.

But he had not expected Chen Mu to suddenly gain a Wizard teacher and then become a Formal Knight.

Becoming a Formal Knight would have been one thing, but now, in less than half a year, he had even become a Grand Knight.

This inevitably gave rise to certain thoughts in Earl Arthur's heart. Could it be that Natural Super Strength truly allowed someone to advance by leaps and bounds after becoming a Formal Knight?

"What is it, Father?"

Seeing Earl Arthur continue to frown without speaking, Chen Mu sensed that something was wrong even without knowing the details.

Normally, after he mentioned Natural Super Strength, Earl Arthur should not have reacted like this.

So he spoke softly, looking at Earl Arthur.

"Ahem, ahem. I'm just too pleasantly surprised. I never expected the effects of Natural Super Strength to be this good!"

"Vieri, since you're already a Grand Knight, I won't stop you from wanting to face the enemy alongside the family."

Earl Arthur spoke somewhat awkwardly, then changed the subject. He also knew that his earlier reaction had been a little strange.

Is that so?

Chen Mu muttered inwardly, somewhat doubtful.

He then made up his mind. It seemed he would have to properly investigate the talent of Natural Super Strength afterward.

He had a feeling that this talent was not quite what he had imagined.
