The Knight's Journey to the Empire

Kingdom of Midburg.

It is a country located in the northeasternmost direction and bordering the Eastern Sea in an area with relatively frequent human activities on the Knight Continent.

This is a country with a long history of slavery.

In this country, the hierarchy is strict and the classes are clear. For ordinary people who do not have aristocratic blood, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to cross the class gap.

Kingdom of Midburg, Tallinn County, Niger City, Donbass Knight Academy.

In the early morning, just as the sky was turning pale, Soren Lipton was already at the training ground of the Donbass Knight Academy, conducting the same morning training for knights day after day.

In the cognition of this world, the social consensus is generally that when people are teenagers, their body functions are constantly developing and growing, so the body's tolerance limit is also constantly increasing.

Therefore, if children are trained in knightly practices too early, it will hinder their growth, thus affecting their normal development, and ultimately have an extremely adverse effect on their future knightly practices.

Of course, this so-called social consensus refers to the social consensus of the upper class, with aristocrats as the main body.

Therefore, the nobles of the Knight Continent only start teaching their children knight training when they are sixteen years old.

Before the age of sixteen, children are learning about various cultures, etiquette and other aspects.

This is how the curriculum of the Donbass Knight Academy is arranged.

Soren Lipton entered the Donbass Knight Academy at the age of fourteen, and he is seventeen years old this year.

In other words, he has been studying at the Donbass Knight Academy for three years: including two years of cultural and etiquette courses and one year of knight training courses.

In the Knight Continent, knights are a special and noble group because they possess extraordinary power - fighting spirit.

Fighting is not only the fundamental reason why the slave society in this world rises and falls and repeats itself, but also the root of the evil of this slave society and the proof for the lower classes in this world to climb up.

Soran has received a year of knight training at the Donbass Knight Academy.

And during this year, he suffered a lot.

He was not like other playboys who were cunning and tried to take advantage of the situation. Instead, he practiced diligently and never slacked off.

Because the soul that traveled through time and space has a more mature mind, it always reminds him of his embarrassing situation as just a bastard. If he wants to have a bright future, he can only rely on his own efforts.

Soran had already completed the warm-up exercises before training, which were nothing more than basic physical training such as running, jumping, and push-ups.

What we are going to start now is the basic training of knights - swordsmanship training.

He took a horse stance, stabilized his lower body, and began to practice straight thrusts against the wooden stake.

Sword training is the most boring because it consists of only a few movements such as straight stabbing, diagonal stabbing, picking stabbing, and downward stabbing.

But sword training is also the most mentally taxing, because every thrust of the sword must be fast, fierce, and accurate.

Therefore, sword training seeks to achieve a state in which the mind and the spirit are one, that is, the sword can reach wherever the thought goes.

A sword fight is not only a contest of physical strength, but also a battle of spirits. A slight difference can mean the difference between life and death.

Because when two hostile knights engage in a sword duel, it is bound to be a matter of life and death.

Of course, the most important way for a knight to fight is to charge on horseback wearing a helmet and armor and holding a lance.

But when one is surrounded or without a horse, sword fighting becomes a necessary way of fighting.

Therefore, a powerful knight must also be a powerful swordsman, mastering superb swordsmanship.

The sounds of "dong, dong, dong..." continued to be heard. The wooden stakes were constantly pierced, making dull sounds, and soon they were covered with mottled potholes.

When Soran practiced stabbing, he didn't just stab randomly, but adjusted his movements while stabbing.

First of all, the angle and direction. You have to consider where the sword is stabbed from and where the killing distance is the shortest so that you can stab the opponent's vital points faster.

Then comes the strength, the direction of hand rotation, how to inflict the greatest blow to the opponent while protecting yourself from harm and maintaining optimal combat effectiveness.

Finally, it even comes to muscle control, the timing of force, etc. The movements and knowledge involved need to be practiced over and over again to form basic muscle memory and instinctive reactions.

Only in this way can we better adapt to the battlefield and exert our combat effectiveness when the battle comes, instead of being caught by the flaws and killed instantly.

The sword is wielded like an arm. The sword is trained like an extension of the arm and can be wielded freely.

Instead of putting a burden on the arms due to the weight of the sword, only in this way can one achieve perfection in swordsmanship.

As time passed, Soran could no longer remember how many times he had stabbed with the sword, and his arms became extremely sore.

Although he was sweating and exhausted, he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

Because he knew that this moment was the perfect opportunity to break through his physical limits and achieve a breakthrough.

Once, once, and again...

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..." The sounds came one after another.

Time was still passing, Soran's eyes began to become blurry, and his consciousness began to slowly become blurred.

Now, he is completely supported by his own strong willpower.

So, according to the previous training methods, he gradually regarded the wooden stake in front of him as the person he hated the most.

So two figures appeared in my blurry mind and gradually merged with the wooden stake.

That was Sauron's biological father and blood brother in this life.

I’ll make you hate me, I’ll make you abandon me, I’ll make you stay away from me, f**k you, I’ll stab you to death… Just wait, I’ll definitely become rich, I’ll definitely trample you under my feet…

The venting voice in Soran's mind kept appearing, supporting him to hold the sword tightly in his hand and stab out one sword after another without interruption.

Ah ~

Suddenly, as if reaching a critical point, Soran shouted loudly, followed his body's instinctive memory, and stabbed out with an extremely sharp sword.

The sword flashed like lightning, and with a flash of white light, it hit the target immediately, and it penetrated three inches into the wood, nailing the sword firmly to the wooden stake.

Soran took a deep breath, shuddered, and then relaxed. At the same time, the brilliance in his eyes gradually faded, as if he had used up all his energy.

Although he was still exhausted, he could hardly suppress the surprise in his heart, because he could feel that he had made a breakthrough.

Raising his calloused left hand, Soran focused his gaze again.

A set of numbers appeared above his palm: 24/26.

Since crossing into this world, Soran's eyes have undergone some strange mutations.

Soran didn't know the reason for the mutation, but the result was that he could see a set of numbers that reflected other people's physical fitness and physical limits.

Take his own numbers as an example: 24 represents the digitized value of his current physical fitness; 26 represents the limit of his body's endurance at this stage.

Of course, he was not clear about the conversion standard.

Although Soran has not yet developed fighting spirit, he has received formal knight training.

Therefore, according to the traditional knight professional grade classification of the Knight Continent, his current professional grade is an apprentice knight.

Belongs to the lowest level.

And when he breaks through the 26-point physical limit in this stage, he can rely on his strong physical fitness to condense his fighting spirit and thus step into the professional level of an entry-level knight.

Based on the digital display of this mutant eye and Soran's daily observations.

He found that the average physical fitness of most ordinary people in this world is between 10 and 14, and the physical limit value is between 15 and 18.

Before practicing, the higher the physical limit value, the greater the potential for practice and the stronger the growth.

Of course, this refers to ordinary people, not the social elite.

Most of the students who were able to receive education at the Donbass Knight Academy were descendants of social elites.

They are either illegitimate sons of nobles or heirs of wealthy merchants, or they have some assets and live a wealthy life, or their fathers are engaged in more respectable and noble professions, such as pastors, teachers, etc.

With such a background, they have never had to worry about food and drink since childhood, and their nutritional supplements are complete.

Therefore, their bodies develop healthily and their physique grows well, so their physical limits are naturally much higher than those of ordinary people.
