The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Because demons, apart from humans, do not have chakras.

　The effect of "qi" is essentially no different from that of some buff-type magic.

　In other words, it can only be used to strengthen the body.

　The human body has seven chakras, which are seven energy gathering points that govern different tissue systems in the body.

　These are the crown chakra, third eye chakra, throat chakra, heart chakra, sacral chakra, root chakra, and crown chakra.

　wheel.

　With each chakra opened, a person's control over their physical body increases to a higher level.

　The quality and quantity of "qi" will also increase accordingly.

　Of these seven chakras, only the "Samancha Chakra" is located outside the body, that is, above the head.

　If you can open the "Brahma Chakra", you can release "qi" outward and create a very oppressive "momentum"!

　A sufficiently powerful "momentum" can even create an effect similar to the might of a dragon, collectively suppressing those with weaker mental strength!

　But even so.

　The widespread use of "Qi" only allowed humanity to barely withstand the onslaught of the demons.

　Its limitations are enormous, and it is still far inferior to magic.

　Moreover, demons are naturally physically strong, and the physique of any powerful demon is no weaker than that of a human warrior with all seven chakras fully activated.

　In order to increase their potential, humans usually cultivate both "qi" and "magic".

　Before the development of magic technology, the most powerful profession for pure-blooded humans was the magic warrior who combined "qi" and "magic"!

　Marquis Middleton is a powerful magic warrior.

　His son, Joshua, is also a demon warrior.

　Moreover, at the young age of fourteen, he had already followed his father in eliminating a considerable number of extremists, making him a rare and capable figure among the sons of nobles.

　His statue was indeed erected on the stone pillar because of his meritorious service.

　In contrast, Darko Dimon, who was nothing but the son of a duke in the first half of last year, was arrogant and domineering, and deserved to be ridiculed and mocked.

　However, after that day, Joshua was summoned to the study by the Marquis of Middleton, where they talked all night.

　The next day, Joshua emerged from his study with a more composed demeanor.

　The fact that he has not yet forced the Star Tower to repair the statue is one indication of this.

　That was waiting for Darko Dimon's return.

　He wanted to defeat it head-on, through fair and square means, and then re-erect his statue on the pillar.

　Wash away the stain!

　……

　Joshua sat on the sofa with a serious expression.

　Although he had been studying at the Royal Academy during this time, he still kept an eye on news about Dark Dimon.

　I heard that Dark Dimon is doing very well at St. Marian College and is no longer what he used to be.

　The outcome of today's battle remains to be seen.

　“But that’s fine. If I were to fight someone who has no power, it would seem like I won unfairly. My Middleton family rose to power through military achievements and now controls the Demon Sword Knights. We may use trickery in war, but we must always act with integrity in our daily lives. I will uphold the family rules with my abilities.”

　Joshua spoke slowly, his gaunt face gleaming.

　The noblemen sitting around him, though not fawning or flattering, all cheered and expressed their admiration.

　In reality, the duke's son was too arrogant, never made friends with others, and even drove people away.

　In this Star Tower, even those who wanted to get close to it were turned away, resulting in its current state of having no followers.

　However, only one-third of the nobles centered around Joshua were involved; the other third were entertained by scholars who enjoyed watching the drama unfold.

　……

　Not long after, footsteps were heard coming from the stairs.

　"coming!"

　Joshua's gaze sharpened as he looked towards the stairwell.

　Almost everyone stopped discussing and their eyes immediately focused on that one spot.

　Then, as expected, Darko Dimon appeared in the spotlight.

　The duchess's son, whom I hadn't seen for almost a year, was dressed formally, her blonde hair was neatly combed, and her skin was as smooth as jade, even better than the skin of the girls on the list.

　With her gentle demeanor and refined, scholarly air, she was like a gentle spring breeze, making one mistake her for a descendant of a sage making a guest appearance.

　However, the noble young man who climbed to the sixth floor was indeed the duchess's son whom they knew!

　At this moment, not only Joshua, but almost everyone showed a hint of astonishment in their eyes.

　In terms of change, everyone will change in nearly a year.

　Joshua, for example, has matured considerably and his personality has been somewhat corrected.

　But compared to the immediately noticeable change in Dak Dimon, it falls far short.

　This makes one wonder whether Darko Dimon has truly undergone a complete transformation, or has he simply learned to disguise it.

　pick one of two.

　The latter is undoubtedly more easily accepted.

　After all, the idea that bad boys become worse and worse aligns with most people's expectations.

　But if that's the case, Darko Dimon's difficulty level will probably increase dramatically!

　Those who had little interaction with Dak became increasingly careful to make themselves invisible.

　After his initial shock, Joshua did the opposite and stood up on his own initiative.

　His fans also habitually stood beside and behind him.

　Joshua strode towards the stairwell and extended his hand to Dark.

　Dark stared at Joshua's face for a while, and after a long time, he confirmed that this should be the marquis's son who was frightened by Trina's "power".

　So he reached out and shook hands with him, saying, "Joshua Middleton?"

　As the saying goes, a handshake makes peace.

　Darko Dimon wasn't an unreasonable person. They shook hands, exchanged a few compliments, and the matter from last year was forgotten.

　Afterwards, with no grudges or resentments, we can sit comfortably on the sixth floor for a while, then eat and leave. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

　The fact that Darko Dimon didn't avoid such a socially active place already demonstrates his confidence in his own self-control.

　But Joshua's expression darkened slightly, and he said, "Long time no see, Dark."

　“It’s been almost a year since we last met.” Dark withdrew his hand and walked straight past him.

　Following closely behind, Aurora and Trina arrived side by side, leaving the strong waitress at the very back.

　Aurora hung her hands in front of her abdomen, slightly timid but still curiously observing her surroundings.

　Trina ignored everyone around her the entire time, and didn't even glance at Joshua.

　Joshua suddenly felt like a street lamp, illuminating the path for the three of them.

　Of course, he couldn't just stand there frozen.

　After all, before Dark came up, he had already made his intentions clear.

　"Wait, Dark!"

　Therefore, he immediately spoke up.

　Dark stopped and turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"

　Joshua hesitated when he saw those pure, big eyes, and even changed the tone of his prepared lines: "It's like this, I heard you've learned a lot at St. Mary's Academy, how about we have a little sparring? Just a friendly match."

　They were incredibly friendly.

　Dark felt no malice, but asked in confusion, "But aren't you a demon warrior?"

　Joshua didn't understand at first, so he said, "Yes, is there a problem?"

　Dac

　He raised his hand, and the little devil beast immediately flew onto the back of his hand like a bird, but did not land firmly.

　Then Dark said, "But I am a mage."

　Joshua glanced at the familiar, which was clearly a demon, and thought to himself, Dark Dimon is indeed a demon incarnate.

　However, he didn't pay attention to Dark's words and said, "The Archmage is indeed the highest rank among warriors, but we magic warriors are not to be trifled with."

　As he spoke, he took a step forward, and his aura instantly condensed. At the same time, his six chakras generated surging energy, which then rushed straight to the top of his head, forming a terrifying beast shadow on the "Brahma Chakra" above his head!

　That was clearly a very special kind of "momentum".

　The "Power of Ten Thousand Beasts" slowly unfolds, like ten thousand beasts galloping and tigers roaring for thousands of miles, with an astonishing momentum!

　……

　"This is?"

　Dark had only a superficial understanding of "qi" and "momentum." But it was also clear that Joshua had reached an extremely high level.

　Some of the noble children in the surrounding area were intimidated by the fierce "power of ten thousand beasts," their faces turned pale, and they retreated one after another, some even trembling.

　But this "power" is nothing compared to the divine might of the moon goddess.

　Dak only frowned slightly, taking it as a gentle breeze, and didn't feel anything at all.

　Trina, who was already beside him, did have a momentary reaction. But perhaps seeing that the young master was not frightened as she had feared, she immediately withdrew the "sword aura" she had just revealed.

　However, the two sun and moon spirits within Aurora's hair were startled, and they emerged from the hair and flew above her head.

　Some discerning people couldn't help but show surprise the moment they saw the two sun and moon spirits, and wondered who this girl who came with Dark was.

　Under the protection of the Sun Elf and the Ice Moon Elf, Aurora felt nothing.

　Seeing this, Joshua's "Power of All Beasts" faltered, suddenly losing its unstoppable momentum.

　Dark asked curiously, "That aura is indeed astonishing. But if that's all..."

　"I am skilled in both magic and martial arts, and I did not use my full strength," Joshua explained instinctively.

　But this made it seem as if he was begging for guidance, which immediately left his fans speechless.

　However, Joshua had also experienced life-or-death battles, and he had a natural sense when facing opponents stronger than himself.

　He almost instinctively realized that a year ago, unarmed and violent...

　Dark Dimon, whose power was once unmatched, is now probably above him.

　But a man of his word is a man of his word; once a challenge is initiated, there is no reason for him to go back on his word.

　Fortunately, he didn't actually use the word "duel" in his head, but instead wisely changed it to "sparring," which was truly the wisest choice he made today...

　As he pondered this, Joshua suddenly realized that he had given up before even starting the battle, and his face turned ashen.

　The "power of ten thousand beasts" plummeted, completely losing its initial surging momentum.

　……

　This obvious change surprised all the onlookers.

　In just one exchange, Darko Dimon did nothing, yet Joshua deflated like a punctured balloon, turning into a withered shell.

　Those noblemen who had initially hoped to see how the two would end up were greatly disappointed.

　Dark could tell that Joshua had lost his will to fight, and he couldn't help but shake his head: "Forget it. We rarely have time, how about we try a different way to spar?"

　"In what way?"

　Joshua could easily tell that this was an attempt to save face for him.
