" Heroy, come here."
Baturu scanned the area and located his guard regiment, where he saw the regimental commander Heroy training the new barbarians.
"Sir, did you call me?"
Heroy flew quickly to Baturu's side.
When he forced Baturu to study before, although he had an almost fanatical worship of Baturu, he couldn't bear the hardship of studying and almost resigned from his position as commander of the Imperial Guard.
Fortunately, the great Baturu realized his mistake and stopped everyone's grueling study plan.
Even ignoring everyone's objections, they launched even more insane training programs, using an iron fist to force every barbarian to cultivate.
As the commander of the Imperial Guard, he bears primary responsibility for protecting Lord Baturu and must set a good example.
So when some barbarians expressed their discontent, he was the first to pass all the training courses in the training ground with the strongest willpower.
The process was extremely painful; he never expected that someone with only level three strength would suffer such pain.
But after passing all the training courses in the training ground, he also discovered that his strength had increased several times over.
He now confidently says he could beat five times himself from thirty years ago!
"Given your outstanding performance, I want to reward you," Baturu said with a smile.
"It is our duty to protect Lord Baturu to the death; we need no reward," Heroy said.
"The reward isn't up to you, and I bet you'll like it."
"Just between you and me, this is a reward that can only be earned by completing all the training courses."
Before Heroy could say anything more, Baturu slapped Heroy on the chest.
Heroy wanted to say something, but his body froze instantly, his eyes widened, and his trembling body seemed to have been stimulated by something.
It's no wonder he reacted this way. Even Baturu, who was mentally prepared, was stunned for a moment upon first encountering the Intelligent Soul, let alone Heroy and who knew nothing about machines.
If you were to explain to him what an intelligent system is, I'm afraid I could talk for days and nights and he still wouldn't understand the details.
Seeing Heroy's gradually widening smile, Baturu knew that he was rapidly absorbing the Intelligent Soul.
"Sir, is this true?"
Heroy Baturu in utter disbelief. In his eyes, this was a miracle. For the first time, he discovered that he could see the world and everything before him from a different perspective.
If he wanted, everything in his field of vision could be completely transformed.
From every tiny piece of ore to the imposing figure of Lord Baturu before us, everything was presented using numbers and words.
If he needs it, he can even see the composition of the gases in the air.
At that moment, he seemed like an omnipotent god, with everything in the world under his control.
This was an extremely seductive voice he had never experienced before, and it appeared directly in his mind... almost making Heroy instinctively want to tremble.
"Do I really need to say it? Don't you already know?"
Baturu saw that the Intelligent Soul inside Heroy's body was slowly consuming his body's energy.
To address the severe energy consumption during the use of the Intelligent Soul, Leo, the original body, implanted an energy storage array into the Intelligent Soul.
When the Intelligent Soul Intelligent Soul is not activated, it absorbs energy and stores it within its own soul. When the host needs to use it, the Intelligent Soul first consumes the energy within itself before consuming the host's energy, which greatly extends the Intelligent Soul's working time.
How are you feeling?
"Good, very good."
Heroy's open mouth didn't close, and he chuckled foolishly, his little tongue lolling out of his throat.
"It's because you guys refuse to settle down and study; otherwise, I wouldn't have spent decades creating this Cheat System to assist you." Baturu unabashedly attributed the credit to his original self, Leo.
"Sir, we're so sorry, we were so stupid."
Heroy then realized that it was because they couldn't learn anything back then that Lord Baturu had tailored such a great Cheat System for them.
"Let's not talk about that anymore. Let me see the results first. How many do you want to shoot?"
I want to take on ten.
"OK."
Faced with Heroy's surging morale, Baturu casually halted the combat training grounds and summoned hundreds of thousands of level-three barbarians from the surrounding area to watch this battle that was destined to be epoch-making.
However, before the battle, Baturu didn't say anything, Heroy just looked at their chosen opponents with wicked smiles on their faces.
"All ten are opponents from the training grounds, be careful."
"Don't worry, sir. If I lose, I will never have the face to be the commander of your personal guard."
The surrounding barbarians looked at Heroy with suspicion, even though Heroy's strength was among the best of all the level three barbarians.
But facing opponents who have all passed all the training courses in the martial arts arena, let alone ten, he would have a hard time even fighting two.
In a fight where the odds were against ten, the fact that he could hold out for five breaths speaks volumes about his skill.
But the result was so unexpected, and the slap in the face was so painful!
On the battlefield, Heroy not only lasted for more than five breaths, but also killed two barbarians of the same level within those five breaths.
The two eliminated barbarians had no idea what had happened, and they looked at their commander on the battlefield as if they didn't recognize him at all.
Their leader's tactics, dodging skills, and even agility were completely different from before.
They were comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side for years. They knew each other so well that they wanted to know every single detail about each other.
But at this moment, Heroy felt extremely unfamiliar to them; his fighting style was completely different.
It makes them look very awkward; something just doesn't seem right.
It wasn't until the barbarians realized what was happening that their leader's tactics were exactly what countered them.
It's as if his entire body is covered in eyes; no attack can hit him. Even though the attacks are so dense, the ones that hit him are only the weakest ones. This is entirely the result of him choosing to minimize the cost.
"Boom"
The third barbarian had no idea how he was eliminated, but the barbarians watching around him saw it all clearly.
Heroy was dealing with five barbarians around him, his body vanished instantly, reappearing behind one of the eliminated barbarians. A furious punch landed squarely on the back of the barbarian's head, eliminating the third barbarian.
The process seems simple, but there is a very important issue: when Heroy disappeared while moving, the third barbarian had not yet appeared at the location to be attacked.
In other words, Heroy and the third barbarian went to the attack position first and waited for the barbarian to appear. This phenomenon is more like the third barbarian running into Heroy's attack!
"How so?"
If such a thing happened once, it would be a coincidence, but the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh were all eliminated in the same way.
These barbarians, lying on the ground, couldn't understand it. They were rapidly changing positions, but Heroy was always one step ahead, and his attack moves were already in place before they even appeared.
To outsiders, it all seemed like they were just being stupid and running into things; they didn't even have time to dodge!
How is that possible??
After Heroy easily defeated the tenth barbarian, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence. They all knew that Heroy's strength was roughly equal to that of these barbarians, and that a 1:10 victory was impossible under normal circumstances. Moreover, the one with the lightest injuries was Heroy, who had completed the most impossible challenge almost unscathed.
"How was it?" Baturu asked Heroy with a smile.
"I can take on ten more."
Heroy clenched his fists, never knowing he was so strong. He felt like he was dreaming after the fight. Opponents who used to require all their strength to defeat were now so vulnerable.
Under the command of the Intelligent Soul, all the opponents' moves were flawed, and even their next move was clearly seen.
This is a divine artifact!
"If you can perfectly utilize the Intelligent Soul, I think you can take on 30 to 40 of them," Baturu commented.
"May I?"
Heroy thought we could only take on twenty at most, but we ended up only reaching half of what Lord Baturu had said.
"Whether it works or not, try it yourself. Do you really need me to teach you?"
Baturu rolled his eyes at Heroy, who was completely in a state of excitement.
In other words, he was reluctant to dampen their enthusiasm, even though they had Intelligent Soul to assist them; if they encountered an elite wizard of the same level, they would still lose more often than they would win.
Wizards' combat prowess is the result of their long-term practice and experience, while barbarians need the assistance of Intelligent Soul.
No matter how fast Intelligent Soul commands, it can't keep up with instinct, especially as the level increases and the understanding of time and space becomes more different. The interaction time between a barbarian and Intelligent Soul feels like several minutes to higher life forms.
This is why the Intelligent Soul System created by Leo can only provide maximum intelligence assistance to level three life forms; level four is completely useless.
With the speed at which he could use Intelligent Soul, he was unaware of how many times he had been killed.
"Sir, what's wrong with the commander...?"
Some barbarians stared longingly at Baturu. Just a moment ago Heroy weren't this strong. Why did he become so powerful after exchanging a few words with Lord Baturu, his strength increasing several times over?
The problem isn't with Heroy's body, but with Lord Baturu. It was Lord Baturu who made Heroy stronger!
