"I understand," Li Cheng颐 thought, confirming his guess.

He had seen many descriptions of knight warriors in books, none of whom possessed any extraordinary abilities.

Wizards were only skilled in a few fixed spells, and even then, different wizards specialized in different areas. Some wizards could even inherit their abilities through bloodlines. Their power was also far less than what was described in the stories.

"What I specialize in is the Spiral Strangulation Swordsmanship, created one hundred and eighty years ago by Master Harwell. So, it belongs to the Harwell school. This swordsmanship is primarily a heavy sword style created with the aim of disarming opponents."

Li Cheng颐 listened carefully to the other party's teachings.

At the same time, he continuously released the Radiance Field inside his body to recover himself.

Inside his Yuan Shen Sword Palace, the fire in the sword furnace continued to burn, releasing a terrifying amount of consciousness power, allowing him to clearly remember every word the other person said in an instant.

Soon, Milton began to demonstrate.

He gripped the double-edged sword tightly in his hand and began to swing arcs of sword marks forward, striking the opponent's weapon from various angles, avoiding direct collisions.

"It seems you have a good talent, Baron. Next, is how to swing the sword..."

Two minutes later, Li Cheng颐 held a double-edged sword almost as long as himself, swinging it easily with perfect posture.

Thus, the short skill training quickly ended, and long-term weighted endurance training began in its place.

Knowing the principles of a small part of the world, understanding the core of its operation.

"Then, come, let's practice together. Swordsmanship is a skill strengthened through practice, so you need to learn how to face opponents, flexibly adjust your tactics, how to attack and defend, how to dodge, how to set traps, how to escape the battle circle, one-on-one, one-on-many, all must be practiced."

Soon, ten minutes later, Milton looked at Li Cheng颐, who learned everything instantly, in a somewhat dazed state, his mind a little confused.

Divine fire was the ultimate sublimation of consciousness power, and in the Yin Codex, the way to sublimate consciousness power was to understand everything.

Even with the best talent, the heavy-armored warrior path required development time. Even if the other party was a genius, it was impossible for them to learn everything instantly, right?

Milton was completely out of ideas. He looked at the other party with a rather complicated expression, feeling that he shouldn't have taken this job.

On the training ground, Milton had prepared two black thoroughbred horses. With the help of several soldiers, he helped Li Cheng颐 onto a young horse named Black Blood.

His mind was buzzing, and he only felt that he had encountered some kind of monster.

"Just swinging the sword, how to deal with one-on-many situations?" Li Cheng颐 suddenly asked.

Milton, who was watching from the side, was speechless.

The Baron Carlos in front of him was indeed worthy of the title of genius.

Milton felt a little embarrassed. Seeing Carlos's calm expression, he felt that his skills were being underestimated. He decided to show some real skills to shock the other party, to let him know that he, a veteran knight, was not a pushover.

Li Cheng颐 dropped the double-edged sword, panting slightly as he looked at Milton, who was doubting his life.

After a pause, he nodded.

He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had found a solution.

Immediately afterward, he began to teach Li Cheng颐 his school's swordsmanship, and this so-called complex swordsmanship only took Li Cheng颐 fifteen minutes to learn completely.

Seeing that he didn't react, Milton demonstrated it once and then sheathed his sword.

"These are too simple, can you show me something harder?"

Too bad...

Half an hour later.

"Then why didn't you teach me these?" Li Cheng颐 asked.

Genius?

Yes.

He was very惋惜, if such a genius warrior could grow up smoothly, perhaps he would create a career in the future.

Li Cheng颐 nodded in understanding.

"Then I'll teach you."

The other party's reaction gave Li Cheng颐 new observation material.

In the blink of an eye, two months had passed...

According to the rotation, it was time for horseback riding training.

"..." Milton stared blankly at the sword in his hand, unable to answer.

Apart from strength, speed, and reaction not being fully trained, he could learn any skill instantly.

"You try it, start with holding the sword, how to grip the sword, I'll teach you..."

His mind was now recording all the unfamiliar information around him every moment.

"Actually, a true knight must be able to bear the weight of heavy knight armor and still move freely. So, you do need to train in this area of load-bearing ability."

Milton paused.

"Okay...wear armor, take a large shield," Milton replied, his scalp tingling.

Time also began to pass quickly with training.

He began to carefully teach Li Cheng颐 hand-in-hand.

Looking at Li Cheng颐, whose temperament was becoming more and more like a knight, Milton couldn't help but recall the night-time conversation between Lei Kai and him a few days ago, and sighed in his heart.

Li Cheng颐 understood and remembered everything after seeing it once, and even deduced more new moves.

But...

The back door of the training ground opened, and a soldier carefully led a horse, pulling Li Cheng颐 to walk around in circles.

This was to let him adapt to the bumpy feeling of the horse's back first.

At this time, Li Cheng颐's body had been restored by his secret Radiance Field, coupled with the assistance of his vast and delicate consciousness power training. His all-around qualities were much stronger than two months ago. He had surpassed children of the same age and reached the level of a child over ten years old.

Riding on the horse at this time, he didn't care what Milton thought at all, but focused on feeling the difference of the horses in this world.

Temperature, hair, blood flow, skin texture, smell...and so on, all kinds of details were fed back under the touch of his palm.

Neigh!!

While walking, suddenly the Black Blood horse raised a front hoof, and the horse's back leaned back.

It seemed to be frightened.

Under normal circumstances, Li Cheng颐 on the horse's back would definitely fall down at this time, his head accidentally landing on the ground, hitting the ground, and losing consciousness.

Then, he would die.

But at this time, Li Cheng颐 remained calm and motionless, holding the reins in his hands, his legs clamped tightly, sitting steadily, without any signs of falling.

"..."

A group of soldiers around originally exclaimed, each with a terrified expression.

Because if the Baron had an accident, they would definitely be beheaded.

But at this time, seeing this scene, the nine-year-old Li Cheng颐 sat steadily on the horse's back, motionless, natural and incomparable, and a group of people suddenly felt their mood fall and breathed a long sigh of relief excitedly.

Milton was the most surprised.

Looking at Li Cheng颐's calm expression, he suddenly felt that his help to Lei Kai seemed to be a mistake.

The baron in front of him, who remained calm in the face of danger and showed terrifying talent at a young age, was more like those legendary protagonists in biographical stories who had not yet grown up.

Neigh!!

The horse began to run and jump again at this time, and Li Cheng颐 on its back remained unchanged, letting it run and jump.

This scene was deeply imprinted in Milton's heart at this moment.

An impulse welled up in his heart for no reason.

Perhaps I should support the current baron...

Once this idea appeared, it could no longer be suppressed.

The horse fright incident did not cause much commotion. Milton changed a batch of soldiers responsible for maintaining the training ground and continued to calmly teach Li Cheng颐.

But from that day on, his mentality changed.

Li Cheng颐, with the assistance of Hua Yu, became stronger and stronger. The collected books also became more and more numerous.

Since he had in his heart to use this place as the starting point for igniting his divine fire, then his mentality was not anxious.

Anyway, the space-time near the Silent City was completely still. He could completely apply to return to the second after he left, as long as he had enough merit points.

After confirming his ability was limited, he probably understood that he should have been forcibly pulled by a blind spot to an extremely dangerous world.

This world didn't have anything earth-shattering, but his ability was limited to a very low level.

Such a comparison naturally magnified many inconspicuous dangers several times.

Time flies like an arrow.

Under Milton's training, Li Cheng颐's physique became stronger and stronger, and his figure became taller and taller.

In the blink of an eye, four years had passed.

Inside the Black Fort training ground.

Lei Kai's face was gloomy, and he strode into the training ground wearing half-body armor.

Behind him were two guards also wearing half-body armor, both elite men from the Bear Eater Army.

The three burly bearded men, each one meter nine in height, brought no small amount of pressure as soon as they entered.

This made Milton and Li Cheng颐, who were training inside, quickly react and turn their heads to look over.

Several nearby Black Fort soldiers quickly stepped aside, making way.

"Milton, why haven't you done what you promised me!?" Lei Kai did not look at Li Cheng颐, but instead stared at Knight Milton.

"It's been four years, one delay after another. You should know what I'm talking about! I don't have so many four years to wait!" Lei Kai gripped the hilt of his sword and stepped forward, pressing closer.

He was also a knight, although he came from a noble knight background, his strength could not match Milton's strength, who had started as a commoner.

But the weapons and equipment he wore largely made up for the slight gap in strength between the two.

Plus, at this time...he also had two battle-hardened Bear Eater soldiers under his command.

The long wait made his patience worse and worse. Seeing Li Cheng颐, this little brat, growing up more and more in training, the anxiety became even more serious.

At this time, Lei Kai simply didn't bother to pretend, staring almost explicitly at Milton, wanting him to give an explanation.

"Lord Lei Kai, you should be clear that I am not your subordinate. What I swore allegiance to was the Earl. Under the witness of knightly virtues, I am willing to fight for the Earl, not you." Milton's face was calm, without any anger.

From the moment he decided to delay, he had anticipated the current situation.

"Do you know what you're doing?" The confusion in Lei Kai's heart was confirmed, and he finally couldn't help but take a step forward, gripping the hilt of his sword, a subtle distortion and anger appearing on his face.

"Of course I know," Milton replied, also gripping his sword.

"You're courting death!!" Lei Kai looked at the other party's calm expression, feeling that his four years of waiting had all been in vain. The anger in his heart exploded, and he gripped the hilt of his sword and pulled it out.

Clang!!

The blades of the two instantly collided.

"Uncle Lei Kai, this is my castle. Are you drawing your sword against me?"

Li Cheng颐, who was on the side, came back to his senses, looked at this scene with a calm expression, and slowly approached.

At this time, the thirteen-year-old him was already one meter seven in height, with a well-proportioned figure and quite a few muscle lines.

Clang!!

Suddenly, with Li Cheng颐's declaration as baron, the three soldiers beside him drew their swords one after another, staring intently at Lei Kai.

But at the same time, more guards around the training ground also drew their swords together, glaring at Li Cheng颐 and Milton.

Four years of infiltration had already replaced most of the Black Fort with Lei Kai's men.

"Is this the means they want to use to kill me here?"

Looking at this scene, Li Cheng颐's pupils suddenly shrank, guessing that this might be a blind spot targeting him, wanting to harm him!
