Is there any difference in the results between "destroying the enemy with ten swords with great effort" and "destroying the enemy with three swords with ease"
No.
As long as evil is finally destroyed, that is enough.
Garen narrowed his eyes and stared at the boy's movements, lowered his center of gravity slightly, and tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.
Since the beginning of this "battle", Garen put aside his contemptuous thoughts.
Although the boy opposite seemed very green in fighting skills and was a complete novice, his precise control over his muscles shocked even a veteran like him.
"Alas, is this a genius? This world is really unfair."
There was not a single unnecessary detail in Herbert's movements when he performed the Supreme Slash. It was exactly as he had demonstrated it to him before. He replicated the movements perfectly, without a single detail missing.
There is no need for thousands of rehearsals, nor is there any need for repeated guidance and correction; one can replicate it perfectly after just one glance.
Even Garen, a veteran warrior who has trained for decades, cannot fully match this level of control over the body.
Garen looked at Herbert with envy in his eyes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"What an enviable talent... A genius is a genius. Even if you waste some time, it's not too late."
When Garen thought of the wasted years of Herbert, he became angry and couldn't help wanting to accuse those stupid nobles.
"What on earth are those idiots in Albert's family thinking? Such a talent is wasted..."
Who would have believed that such a talented young man in combat was just a nobleman who only knew how to talk about art all day long a month ago
What a waste!
You actually let such a genius engage in art! !
With such steady hands, just let him paint
If Herbert had picked up the sword earlier, even if he didn't become a paladin, he would have become an excellent warrior!
Garen complained in his heart for a while, and Herbert's Holy Slash also rushed in front of him.
"But it's okay. Fortunately, Herbert wasted all this time, so he finally became a paladin."
"Because, compared to his talent in Paladin heritage, his talent in body control is not worth mentioning at all!"
Garen raised his sword, and with a serious expression, he swung it as well, shouting:
"Supreme Slash!!!"
clang—
A sword energy that was whiter in color and larger in size was swung out and rushed towards the golden sword energy!
The next second, the two sword energies collided in mid-air, the two forces canceled each other out, and a huge roar erupted, creating a large amount of air waves.
The surging air waves rushed into the faces of everyone present, blowing their clothes and hair into the air. They couldn't help but raise their hands to block it.
Only Blake forgot to resist. He stared at the scene blankly, and did not come to his senses even when the dust and sand hit his face hard.
"That was done by... Your Highness?"
Am I not awake yet
Garen looked at the scene before him, recalling the dazzling golden sword energy, and sighed with emotion.
"This is really an exaggerated favor..."
Before being told by Bishop Rusty Nail himself, Garen would never have believed what was happening before his eyes.
The last time I saw him, he was only at the beginner level, but now he can actually exert a powerful force close to that of the advanced level...
In fact, if he was not still unskilled in controlling his own strength, he would have officially reached a high-level level.
The power of a Paladin mainly comes from two sources: the gods and himself.
The gods' preference for the paladins will affect their strength. After taking the oath, the greater the blessing bestowed by the gods, the greater the power they can exert.
Another point depends on how strictly the Paladins abide by their oaths. The more strictly they abide by their oaths and the more determined they are in their hearts, the greater the power they can exert.
Although it is not ruled out that Herbert is extremely pious about the purity vow, he strictly adheres to spiritual and physical purity in his daily life.
But he had been a paladin for too short a time, and even fulfilling his oath would take time.
Otherwise, if a person says he abstains from sex today, breaks his vow tomorrow and then abstains from sex again, as long as he can guarantee abstention from sex at a certain moment, then can't he also become a paladin
Therefore, the main factor that can truly affect Herbert's strength can only be the blessing of God.
Herbert was undisguisedly favoured by the spirit that blessed him.
It can be said to be the ultimate favor and honor!
With this favor, Herbert was able to display high-level strength even though his own strength was only at the beginner level.
Garen didn't even dare to think about it. If Herbert reached a high level or even a legendary level one day...what kind of strength would he be able to exert
Epic? More than epic
"To be favored to this extent, one can almost be called a person favored by God... How enviable!"
To be honest, Garen felt a little jealous and began to waver in his heart.
"Or, I will..."
If he could gain such powerful strength simply by remaining pure, he would even want to take another vow of purity.
He can remain pure too!
Anyway, my little brother hasn’t used it for many years... it’s better not to use it at all.
Isn’t it just about abstaining from sex
I can do it too!!!
Chapter 99 I'm really looking forward to that scene (2/3)
"ha… "
Opposite the middle-aged knight who was hesitating whether to give up sex completely, Herbert was holding a sword, breathing with some difficulty.
“Ahem.”
He had just tried a full-strength attack at this moment, but he had not expected that it would be so powerful.
He didn't expect that so much of his strength would be drained away, almost draining him dry.
“So tired…”
Herbert now felt like a dead fish. Although his standing posture looked straight, he actually didn't want to move a finger. He just wanted to lie lazily on the ground to recover his blood.
Just as the Archbishop had reminded him before, Herbert's body was not yet strong enough to withstand such excessive force.
He is like an exquisite container, filled with a large number of contraband that are not suitable for use at this stage. Every time he uses it, this fragile container will break into pieces.
I urgently need a way to improve my physical fitness, and the lava hell bathing plan must be put on the agenda as soon as possible!
"But, the situation now seems to be a little different."
Herbert narrowed his eyes and mobilized the new ability he had just acquired not long ago.
Gurgle.
Following a slight rumble in his stomach that only Herbert could hear, he felt his stomach become noticeably flatter, digesting some of the stored energy.
The next moment, he felt a surge of energy flowing to his limbs and bones, repairing the damaged parts.
Herbert moved his hands and feet and felt that everything was normal... no, even better than before!
Those torn muscle fibers quickly grow back and become stronger and tougher than before.
This is actually the same principle as fitness, actively destroying muscle fibers and then waiting for them to recover and become stronger.
Relying on the ability of deformed flesh and blood, Herbert only consumed one-third of his body's energy and achieved several times the effect of traditional exercise.
And the effect is immediate, without having to struggle or suffer to get out of bed the next day.
"With this effect of growing flesh, who would still care about the forbidden power of the Nine Dragons!"
very good.
This way, you can gain greater strength without making the top of your head pointy.
Herbert's delighted expression also caught Garen's eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh:
"He was only tired for a short while? His recovery ability is so outstanding. How much protection did that god give him..."
It's sour.
So jealous!
Although it may not be nice to say this, why is our God so stingy... cough cough cough!
He only thought about it briefly in his mind and did not dare to think too deeply about it, for fear of angering the god who had generously bestowed his protection on him.
Of course, although he felt jealous in his heart and wanted to turn himself into Herbert, Garen still behaved very gracefully on the surface.
Rather, his hesitation only lasted for a moment, and he had now regained his composure.
How could a paladin who had taken a vow of poverty go mad with jealousy
Garen showed the humble qualities that a mature paladin should have. He put away his sword and nodded slightly to Herbert:
"You performed very well, which was beyond my expectation. As long as you can continue to persevere and keep exercising, I believe you will become the best among us in the future."
Even, you can become the leader of the justice camp!
But Garen did not say the following sentence out loud, he just kept it in his heart.
Although he was looking forward to seeing that scene, he was still a little worried.
Although Herbert's talent was amazing, he was still too young and his mind was not fully mature.
Without knowing the boy's personality, Garen was not sure whether such praise would make an originally outstanding young man become arrogant and conceited, and ultimately ruin him.
"Thank you for your teaching." Herbert put away his sword and saluted respectfully to Garen.
"Well, let's stop here for today's instruction. There won't be much to gain if we continue. Go back and think about it carefully."
In Garn's opinion, although Herbert has now recovered the most basic athletic ability, he has actually reached the point of exhaustion, and further training will only produce negative effects.
Rather than wasting effort with half the result and twice the effort, it would be better to end it here and let him have a good rest.
"Understood. Thank you again for your guidance."
Herbert understood what the other person was thinking, but did not elaborate.
You still need to give them some time to accept it and not be too exaggerated all at once.
Although this middle-aged paladin looked serious, he accompanied him in practice for the entire morning and gave him a lot of guidance without hesitation.
In fact, it was not just Garen, but other members of the Knights present also gave Herbert a lot of advice and help.
Moreover, shouldn't we say that this is worthy of being the headquarters of the Paladins
After showing talent that was enough to make others envious or even jealous, he did not feel any malice.
Some people felt sour in their hearts, some people licked their teeth with envy, and some people shook their heads and sighed, but no one felt any negative malice.
Oh... Although there was no ill intention, Herbert felt a very complicated emotion, full of doubt, puzzlement, confusion, and even a little panic.
Who is this
Oh, it's you, boy.
Herbert couldn't help laughing when he saw the sturdy man's face covered in dirt. He asked, "Blake? Why are you here? What do you want from me?"
"Uh... Your Highness, cough, cough, cough."
Blake blinked in a daze, finally coming to his senses and realizing where he was.
"Pah, pah, pah!"
He spat out the sand and gravel in his mouth with great effort, then put his two big hands on Herbert's shoulders.
"Your Highness! Was everything that just now true?!" Blake's expression was so excited that his voice sounded trembling.
"Hmm? Of course it's true. What's the question you're asking?"
Herbert raised his eyebrows, pushed his hand away, smiled strangely, and asked back:
