Everyone in the castle enjoyed the feast. For the young boys and girls especially, the life energy contained within the flesh and blood of those two Knight Level creatures was immensely beneficial. Before practicing a breathing technique, eating such food could even help them condense a Life Seed more effectively.
Baron Kluo personally sent the steward Basel over. After obtaining Green's consent, he had part of the flesh and blood placed in the ice cellar. Using his Knight Level Life Seed, Baron Kluo infused some of his power into the ice, sealing the energy contained within the meat.
When the castle's students who could learn breathing techniques condensed their Life Seeds for the first time, some of it would be taken out for them to eat, increasing the chances of successfully condensing a Life Seed.
However, Green did not pay much attention to that. He was more concerned about Old Green's condition.
"Green, I really don't know how you managed to take down those two prey. Knight Level creatures possess strength far beyond ordinary creatures. How did you kill them?" Old Green asked Green after spearing a piece of Barros Black Boar meat prepared by the chefs and examining it carefully.
"Luck, just luck. I happened to catch them fighting each other, so I merely took the opportunity to strike," Green replied calmly to Old Green.
Besides, he had not lied, Green thought. He simply had not told the whole truth. He had indeed attacked after the two had fought, but the Mountain Berserker Bear had remained at peak condition. He had merely killed it alone without taking a single injury.
Old Green could also tell that Green did not wish to discuss the matter, so he did not press any further. Everyone had their own secrets; it was best not to dig too deeply.
[Old Green] [Strength: 1.7] [Speed: 2.0] [Constitution: 0.8~1.5] Special injury. Normally maintained at 0.7; can reach 1.5 in combat. Prolonged combat will cause permanent damage to constitution.
After Old Green finished eating, Green deliberately checked his condition and found that Old Green's constitution had increased by 0.1.
Looks like I'll have to hunt more of these in the future. They may not restore Old Green to his peak, but at least they can help him live a few more years.
Creatures that others believed required an elite team of at least Knight Apprentices to hunt were, in Green's eyes, creatures he could kill at will.
After dinner, Green returned to his room and began his final training. Lying on his bed, Green summoned the chip interface. He first glanced at the progress of the book's decryption.
[Decryption progress: 79%] [Estimated time to complete decryption: 10 days, 11 hours, 12 minutes, 23 seconds] *More than ten days left? Forget it, there's no rushing it.*
Green stopped paying attention to the book's decryption progress and instead brought up another project.
[Analysis of the Relationship Between Life Force and External Energy]
Under the chip's analysis, the life force and external energy that existed in this world gradually had their veil lifted, revealing their true forms to Green.
[Life Force Energy Source Analysis Results] [The essence of life force comes from an individual life's conversion of external energy. This conversion ability begins to rise during puberty, reaches its peak between the ages of 18 and 25, then continuously declines with age.]
It seems life force is closely related to human cell division. According to the findings from my previous life, an ordinary person's peak period is between 18 and 25. After that, cellular metabolic ability begins to decline and gradually worsens until aging appears in old age.
[This also explains why one must break through at the age of 18. At that time, cells possess the greatest potential, and their ability to convert external energy is at its strongest.] [The energy contained within the flesh and blood of Knight Level creatures is also life force in essence. It merely has a higher energy density and suffers less loss during conversion within the human body, allowing it to provide additional life force during a breakthrough.] [The essence of life energy is actually just converting external energy into something more suitable for the human body. However, each person's energy storage capacity differs, which is why some succeed and some fail during breakthroughs. If one's own capacity is insufficient and there is no external energy supplement during a breakthrough, the probability of failure is nearly 100%.] [Judging by Okat and Os's circumstances, the size of this container may also be inherited to some extent. The theory of bloodlines may truly have some use in this world.] [Research at the current stage has reached its limit. My Life Seed has yet to activate, so I cannot control the life force within my body. More fundamental research will have to wait.]
Green reviewed the chip's analysis and, combining it with the knowledge from his previous life and his current observations, reached several conclusions.
"Sigh." Green could not help but sigh as he lay on the bed. Most people in this world pursued power, yet few sought the essence of things. There was not even a proper research tool. Green could only rely on the chip to construct models within his mind for analysis.
Green had already made up his mind. Once Old Green passed away, he would immediately head for the nearby Carlos Alliance. Based on the information he had gathered so far, the coastal Carlos Alliance had an extremely developed commercial sector and a certain level of scientific technology. Though it was likely nothing impressive, it would at least be better than his current environment.
Chip, initiate simulated combat, Green silently commanded.
As a flash of blue light passed by, Green's consciousness entered the chip's simulated scene.
Slowly opening his eyes, Green looked at the trees around him and the faintly cool breeze, then nodded.
It looks like the chip's simulation is quite realistic.
Roar!
Snort, snort!
The Barros Black Boar and Mountain Berserker Bear suddenly appeared beside Green, looking as though they were ready to attack at any moment.
A smile appeared on Green's face.
Now this is challenging.
Gripping the longsword in his hand, Green combined the chip's real-time analytical guidance with his rapidly growing combat experience and began to form his own fighting style.
