Chapter 41: Chapter 40 “Strength, Speed, Reaction” (Seeking Chase Reading)
Translator: 549690339
After the family conference ended, Milton Cheney and others left the conference room in turn.
William needed to return to the Underground Palace to lead the Family Shadow Guard out.
The Golden Lion Family naturally didn’t train the shadow guards to keep them in the Underground Palace forever.
Meanwhile, Elm had to manage the Dark Web, which related to intelligence and was extremely important.
Earl Arthur didn’t arrange anything for Milton Cheney.
Therefore, Milton Cheney ended up being the one most at leisure.
Having nothing to do, Milton Cheney decided to go to the Training Ground to test his physical fitness.
After all, even though he knew he was strong after breaking through to become a Grand Knight, he didn’t have a concrete
concept of it.
The Far East Territory, Void Mountain, in the forest.
Void Mountain is a small mountain in the Far East Territory, not more than a hundred miles away from the Golden Lion Estate.
Although the Far East Territory is located in the prosperous East River Province, it’s not devoid of dangerous terrains.
Void Mountain is a small, unattended mountain range in the Far East Territory, akin to a deserted area.
The forest here is very dense.
Even the sunlight can’t penetrate the dense canopy.
Among the Void Mountain woods, two men dressed in tunics are walking side by side, their feet filled with mud and twigs.
In this difficult terrain, they nonetheless move as though on flat ground.
“We’re close, I hope the plan can progress as Levan said.”
One of the men suddenly speaks, his voice somewhat somber.
The other man hears his words and speaks: “Heh, Arthur isn’t a fool, it’s not our first time dealing with the Golden Lion Family.”
“So what if he’s not a fool, this time we dispatched as many as seven level 1 Wizard Apprentices, and even brought magical
devices from our organization, could there still be a possibility of failure?”
The man sounds somewhat disdainful as he responds.
“The Golden Lion Family isn’t as fragile as you think, the three Grand Knights alone on the surface are not easy to deal with.”
Hearing the disdain in this statement, another man shakes his head.
“I’m not stupid enough to confront Grand Knights directly, besides, we’re here to kill that kid this time, the price Levan gave for
the extermination of the Golden Lion Family wouldn’t be enough!” “That’s not a simple matter either.”
The man perceived the nonchalance in his companion’s tone and frowned as he spoke.
“What’s so hard about it? A kid who’s just an Official Knight.”
“Nolan, you’re too cautious, we are noble Wizards!”
Nolan stayed silent, not responding to his companion’s self-aggrandizement.
Wizards?
Since when did a Level 1 Wizard Apprentice also consider himself a Wizard?
If Milton Cheney heard the conversation between these two, he might be surprised.
Because these people had somehow learned that he had become an Official Knight.
However, these people were way behind the news, as Milton Cheney was far more than just an Official Knight now.
Seeing that Nolan had no intention of replying, the man felt bored.
So he too kept silent, and silence once again filled the surroundings, apart from the crisp sounds of their feet stepping on twigs.
In the Golden Lion Training Ground, Milton Cheney uses all his strength to lift an Ironlog Trunk.
This Ironlog Trunk is extremely heavy.
The Ironlog Trunk Milton Cheney lifted weighed at least a thousand pounds.
He lifted it, held it in front of his chest, and then lifted it high again.
Milton Cheney adjusted his breathing, with a white fog seeming to rise from his nose with each exhale and inhale.
His chest seemed to have become a bellows, working vigorously.
The thudding sound of his heart beating was loud and clear.
However, if one were to look only at Milton Cheney’s face, they would find him devoid of expression, looking as if he were taking
it easy.
But that was not the case. Even for Milton, lifting an ironlog trunk weighing thousands of pounds was not easy.
Of course, this was when Milton did not use qi, relying solely on his physical strength.
If he used qi, lifting an ironlog trunk would be no different for Milton than lifting a regular wooden trunk.
Before testing his arm strength, Milton had tested his punching force.
Without using qi and relying only on his physical strength, he could smash a large pit into an ironlog with a single punch.
To smash a large pit into an ironlog, a force of at least five thousand pounds would be needed.
Without using qi, Milton would not be able to lift anything weighing five thousand pounds.
If he did use qi, he could even break an ironlog in half with a direct hit.
This is the primary difference between a Grand Knight and an Official Knight.
A casual strike from a Grand Knight using qi has more power than the force of an Official Knight using Knight Skills.
This is precisely why Grand Knights are extremely rare in the Kingdom.
In the entire Frostwinter Kingdom, the number of Official Knights, both in the open and hidden, could possibly be in the
thousands.
The Grand Knights, however, number no more than a hundred.
As for the higher-ranked Epic Knights, you could count that number on one hand in the entire Kingdom.
Next, Milton tested his speed.
He covered a distance of one hundred meters in just three seconds.
One should know that in the Blue Star of Milton’s previous life, the fastest person on the planet took more than nine seconds to
run a hundred meters.
Three seconds and nine seconds may seem like only a three-fold difference, but Milton understood that the calculation wasn’t
that simple.
For example, at this time, if Milton relied solely on his physical condition, it would be challenging to improve his speed by even
one-tenth of a second.
And that’s just for a hundred meters.
A knight’s strength is not in running a hundred meters. A knight’s power lies in their explosive force and endurance.
If the hundred-meter distance was shortened to ten meters, Milton’s instantaneous burst of speed would take only the blink of an
eye.
If the hundred-meter distance was extended to a kilometer, Milton could maintain his speed of a hundred meters in three
seconds.
If he supplemented it with qi, his speed could go even faster.
As for the speed of his nerve response, although Milton can’t test it specifically, he feels he can easily dodge bullets from his
previous life.
Milton is no stranger to how fast bullets are. In his previous Blue Star existence, he had been to the shooting range and handled
real guns.
A bullet fired from an ordinary handgun travels at a speed of about 200-400 metres per second.
Rifle bullets travel even faster, at 600-900 metres per second, and high-velocity automatic rifles can reach speeds of a kilometer
per second.
Without using qi, Milton is confident of dodging a bullet from an ordinary rifle. If he used qi, he could even dodge bullets from a
high -speed automatic rifle.
This confidence is not baseless—it’s an answer given to him by his body’s instincts.
This is what a Grand Knight is: possessing strength, speed, and reaction speed far surpassing ordinary people.
It’s not without reason that even Wizard Apprentices hesitate to clash head-on with a Grand Knight.
Because if one is not careful, even a Wizard Apprentice might perish under the attack of a Grand Knight.
A Wizard Apprentice might possess varied and strange methods, but in terms of physical strength, they are far below a Grand
Knight.
Milton wiped the sweat off his forehead after briefly testing his physical condition.
“The Black Robe Seekers’ Club?”
Milton murmured to himself, now even looking forward to the members of the Black Robe Seekers’ Club making their move.
PS: Dear readers, we’ve gone to explore new recommendations. The upcoming Chase Reading is even more crucial.
The Chase Reading period of a new book determines how far the book can go. I sincerely hope everyone can make an effort to
participate in the Chase Reading.. Thank you so much, Milo!!
