No. This is impossible. He is a sorcerer, so he must have tricked my eyes with magic.Grover was unwilling to believe it.He believed that he was greatly talented in sword techniques, but he had not been able to figure out the mystery of the Heavenly Thunder Blade after studying it intensely for three years. How could a teenage sorcerer learn it this easily?The only explanation was that the opponent had tricked him with magic.Right. That must be it. He is a sorcerer. He may even be a sorcerer with thunder attributes. He must have manipulated the lightning and disguised it as a blade of light to show me on purpose.Grover explained it on Linden's behalf, but Linden seemed to have seen through his thoughts."Grover, you are a Class 6 Warrior and your spiritual power is not inferior to mine. You should know well that I did not exert any magical power on that blow just now. Hence, that is a warrior's blow, and what I used was exactly the Heavenly Thunder

The banquet dinner ended.The crowd left one after another.Becky, who had long bathed and changed into clean clothes, was in a slightly drunken state. Watching Linden leaving the banquet hall while being escorted by the crowd, she mustered up the courage out of nowhere to chase after him."Linden."Becky's voice sounded sweet in the quiet night."Becky."Linden turned around and saw Becky who was dressed in a white gown. He was too familiar with this gown. It was the garment of his aunt, Lisa. Becky had come over in bloody clothes, so Lisa took her in to take a bath and change into clean clothes before the banquet. This gown looked very loose on Becky, revealing a wide area of fairness near her neck."It will be my coming-of-age ceremony in ten days. I would like to invite you to join it."Becky walked up to Linden's side and spoke in a gentle voice. The coming-of-age ceremony was a crucial festival for everyone in the Ooku Empire. It signifi

"How can a blade breathe?" Grover grimaced and countered with a retort.Linden smiled but did not elaborate.He crossed his torso with the blade and began to breathe steadily. The yodeling of the laborers beneath the walls, the sound of the silver-armored guards' iron armor smashing with the earth on the walls, all seemed to fade away with the rhythm of his breathing, and the surroundings were so silent that only Linden's breathing could be heard."Sound, it's quiet, right?"Grover was likewise absorbed into the rhythm of Linden's breathing when the world around him fell silent.Linden's blade appeared to be responding to the rhythm of his breathing, creating a pulse-like reaction.Thud.Thud.This was the breathing pulse of the blade."Breathing?""A sword's breathing?"Grover was frozen on the spot.He had been practicing with swords for several years, and despite considering them his life, he had never imagined that they

Reputable families from every part of Hartington Fort had sent representatives to the city gate in the early morning of today."It's so lively here! Are all these people here to welcome Master Steven?""Yes, he's a big shot from Bufferson Business Alliance! If you are fortunate enough to befriend him and receive his support, you might be able to turn your luck and make a fortune. Of course, no one in Hartington Fort wants to miss this opportunity! Even if we can't talk to him, we can at least gawk at him and admire his charisma.""Look, Miss Delia has come all the way to greet the big shot."Various influential families in Hartington Fort were a little more awestruck by Steven after seeing that even Delia had arrived. They were well aware of her identity. Even Delia, who had come from the province, had come forward to greet Steven. Clearly, Steven had quite a reputation!"Why don't I see anyone from the Crests here?"Everyone shifted their gazes about.<

"Elf's Tear!"Someone recognized the gemstone that Steven held in his hand."I've seen that sapphire before at a provincial auction. The trading price was 400,000 gold coins at the time.""What? The value of that gemstone is 400,000 gold coins.""This sapphire isn't your typical gemstone. It's Elf's Tear. You can wear it on your person and it can help you relax and focus. Also, it can speed up the cultivation process by at least 30%. That sapphire is a rare treasure.""Mr. Titto is incredibly generous! Offering her a 400,000 gold-coin gift. If only I had a fiance like him. Why is Becky so lucky?"The lobby fell into a buzz as soon as the Elf's Tear was presented. Many people who knew its value revealed envious expressions on their faces.Men admired Steven's financial prowess, while women lauded Becky's luck. Though the crowd was eyeing her, Becky did not accept Steven's gift right away.With lifeless expression in her eyes, she continued to s
