Transcending Heavens: My Cheat Code is Myself

“Fine! Since this is your decision,” Edmund said calmly, then assumed a fighting stance.

She seemed to want to have a fair fight with Chen Feng. She rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair arms. Her slowly outstretched palms seemed to have no strength, but if you really thought that, then that blow that could split mountains and shatter rocks would ensure that you were reborn into a better life.

His seemingly slender hands are like hidden currents in the ocean; with the slightest breeze, they can turn into a tsunami of towering waves, engulfing any enemy who dares to underestimate him.

After Edmund got into position, he raised his hand and gently gestured for Chen Feng to make the first move, otherwise he wouldn't have a chance to act.

However, Chen Feng merely shook his head slightly, slowly raised his index finger, and said calmly, "One move!"

Chen Feng's words sounded so weak, already deducing that Edmund didn't believe him. Edmund still gestured for Chen Feng to make the first move, and said calmly, "This bluffing tactic has been used for so many years. Did you think we would fall for it?"

However, Chen Feng suddenly took a step forward, appearing behind Edmond like a ghost. To avoid Quinn mistaking his ninjutsu for magic, Chen Feng had specially improved this move into a one-handed hand seal technique.

Quinn's pupils contracted sharply. This is it! This is it! This ghostly speed seems to have surpassed the limits of human vision.

Chen Feng's sudden burst of speed startled Edmond; she didn't even know what had happened before Chen Feng appeared behind her.

Hands level with shoulders, elbows level with shoulders, naked choke!

Before Edmond could react, the rear naked choke was already in place. Edmond was powerless to turn the tide. She struggled desperately, but in the end, she could only beg for mercy. After so many years, she had been defeated by this move again, and for a moment she was in a daze.

Chen Feng gently lifted him out, then ignored the three of them, simply waving his hand to signal Quinn to follow, and strode towards Flor.

"Boss, it seems you guessed wrong!" Dreiser said, looking aggrieved.

"So what? Can't the boss make mistakes?" Edmund said calmly.

"But if that's the case, won't he continue to beat me up after all the cursing I did before? Will he take back all the damage he did before?"

"will not."

"Huh? Why not?"

That's not him.

"What do you mean? Boss, I don't understand."

“He knows we’re trying to provoke him. He knows everything. He won’t retaliate against you. Don’t worry.” Edmund shook his head helplessly and walked towards Flor.

......

......

“That’s the situation. My son Chen Feng is weak, pitiful, and helpless. Sir Knight, do you think you can help this boy get a legal identity?” Old Laut looked distressed. “I’ve thought about taking this child to the capital, but without the guarantee of a knight or nobleman, it will be difficult for him to get an identity.”

Old Lauter looked at Quinn with a tense expression.

"That's enough," Quinn said, suppressing a laugh with a blank expression, afraid of damaging her knightly image. After listening to Old Lauter's words, she said slowly, "Of course, it's just a small favor for me. But Mr. Lauter, have you really not considered having him participate in the selection to become a knight?"

"Participate in the selection? Become a knight?" Old Lauter was immediately taken aback. Looking at the thin and weak Chen Feng, he didn't know why the knight would suddenly say such a thing, but he still said tactfully, "With his appearance, he probably can't become a knight of Demacia, right?"

“Who says it can’t be?” Quinn immediately retorted. “Becoming a knight isn’t as difficult as you think. Just like obtaining commoner status, as long as you have enough ability and the guarantee of a nobleman, becoming a knight is a very simple thing.”

Quinn judged others by her own standards. She became a knight because of a single sentence from Mrs. Bouvier. If someone with her strength could do it, then Chen Feng, whom she considered terrifying, was even more so.

Therefore, it was not difficult for Chen Feng to become a knight. With just one sentence, he could easily prove his strength.

It's important to know that nobles are actually very willing to invest in talented and capable young people. Someone like Chen Feng, who has such strength at such a young age, is a genius in the entire Demacia.

How could he be excluded because of his appearance? Besides, isn't His Majesty's personal bodyguard, the Debon Chief Steward, a man with black hair and black eyes?

Moreover, that man was once a Noxian. If someone of his background could become the governor of Demacia, then it wouldn't be difficult for Chen Feng, a boy who grew up in the small town of Flor, to become a knight.

After hearing Quinn's words, old Lauter hesitated and said, "Sir Knight, Chen Feng doesn't have much strength. If we send him to participate in the knight selection, it's practically suicide."

"Impossible! Even I am no match for him, how could he possibly throw his life away?" Quinn sneered, waving his hand to interrupt old Lauter's next words. Without saying a word, he pulled out an iron rod as thick as his wrist from beside him and handed it to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng took the iron bar from Quinn with a blank expression, not understanding what she meant.

Quinn nodded, signaling Chen Feng to break it. She didn't care what Chen Feng was thinking or why he was hiding his strength. Since she had discovered Chen Feng's strength, she naturally didn't mind giving him a hand and letting him serve the empire.

Chen Feng tightened his shoulders, gripped the iron rod with both hands, and with a gentle exertion, the iron rod was instantly bent into a twisted arc.

“This…” Old Lauter’s eyes widened immediately. He hurriedly stepped forward, took the iron bar from Chen Feng’s hand, and tapped it lightly with his fingers. It made a solid, dull sound, proving that it was indeed a solid iron bar. A look of confusion and bewilderment appeared in Old Lauter’s eyes.

He didn't know how long it had been since he'd done something like this; he remembered the last time was...

“Sir Knight, I appreciate your kindness, but I’m not afraid to admit it, because I’m just a retired veteran, and I don’t have the money to support him to become a knight.” Old Lauter sighed deeply, his hands opening and closing unnaturally, and his once upright back became somewhat hunched after saying these words.

"Is that so..." Quinn's smile faded, his expression turning serious. He looked at Chen Feng, who stood calmly to the side, and asked, "Chen Feng, what are your thoughts?"

In Quinn's view, this money was very difficult for Laut, but it shouldn't be a problem for Chen Feng, who had great power. So the money itself was not important; what was more important was Chen Feng's own thoughts.

"Me?" Chen Feng stroked his chin, his expression turning serious. He casually pulled over a chair, sat down, and said, "I'm fine with either becoming a knight or a soldier, as long as I can protect the town of Floro."

"With your abilities, you're more than qualified to be a knight," Quinn said after a pause. "Moreover, protecting the town of Flor, or rather, protecting Demacia, is definitely not enough for you to do alone. Only by becoming a knight can you have more say."

"May I ask what the difference is between a knight and a soldier?"

“Strictly speaking, there’s no difference, but most soldiers remain trainee soldiers their entire lives,” Quinn said.

Chen Feng's question hit the nail on the head. Only knights could join the army as regular soldiers or special units.

For example, Quinn's Ranger Regiment, and the renowned Fearless Vanguard Legion, which is famous throughout the continent of Valoran.

Every single soldier here is a powerful knight.

New recruits may become knights, but most soldiers never make it into a formal legion in their lifetime.

In Demacia, the fastest shortcut to becoming a knight is through the patronage and recognition of nobles, followed by personal ability. Unless you achieve extraordinary feats and possess abilities far surpassing others, you have no chance of being selected as a squire of the Fearless Vanguard. It's difficult! It's extremely difficult.

Especially in the army, there is a strict hierarchy and clear distinction between classes. The reason why Quinn took on this reconnaissance mission was precisely because he was a natural hunter and really disliked life in the army.

Moreover, there was a strong culture of competition in the military; they preferred to compete in family honor and prestige rather than in each other's bravery.

This is also why Quinn believes that even with Chen Feng's strength, he should take the shortcut of being a nobleman.

Without the help of nobles, Chen Feng would have to waste at least three years before he could be promoted to knight.

However, once nobles are involved, the matter can be completed in just a few days.

Thinking of this, Quinn seemed to recall something and said, "I can help you find a noble lady to vouch for you and let you join the army."

"Isn't this troublesome?" Chen Feng looked into Quinn's eyes and asked hesitantly.

“No trouble at all. She might even thank me in return.” Quinn shook his head. “Chen Feng, you are very outstanding. The Bouvier family would be very happy to invest in you.”

"Sir Knight, thank you so much!" Old Lauter was so excited that he couldn't contain his gratitude and expressed his thanks repeatedly.

“It’s alright, no need for that. I’ll write a letter and have Vallo deliver it to you. Once you receive the letter, you can set off for the capital. If you encounter any soldiers checking you on the way, just show them the letter, and they will let you through.” Quinn winked as he said this, “This time, don’t tie Vallo up again.”

Chen Feng scratched his head awkwardly, while Hua Luo let out a dissatisfied cry.

In front of Old Lauter's house, amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the surrounding residents, Quinn donned his helmet, nimbly mounted his horse, and waved to the two men.

"Alright, I'm leaving. No need to see me off."
