Chapter 449, Section 447: Passing on the Sacred Technique (Bonus Chapter 10)

At this moment, the only sound in the council hall could be heard was Luo Yi's roar.

But that wasn't all. At one point, his gaze shifted and fell once again on the chief Grand Knight, Alfonso Zeke.

"Alfonso, if I remember correctly, you were already the Grand Knight Commander before I came here, at the peak of the third rank."

"Then, I've been here for almost two years, and you're still only at the peak of the third tier?"

"So, what have you been doing these past two years? Why haven't you dared to take it a step further?"

"Your Excellency, I..."

Alfonso was sprayed with spittle all over his face, but he still tried to struggle.

He really wanted to say that breaking through to the fourth rank was not an easy thing; it was very dangerous, and one had to be fully prepared.

Kroy didn't want to listen to his nonsense at all. She turned her head and saw Grand Knight Commander Thor Dean.

"And you too, yes, I'm talking about you!"

Grand Knight Thor was stunned. He was older and had tried to break through before but failed, which is why he had been recuperating for so long.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't have anything to do with him.

But clearly, Roy didn't think so: "Thor, you're the oldest and most mature. I'm very confident that Siren Harbor is in your hands."

"But as a combatant, you can't give up your pursuits, can you?"

"After so much time, your injuries should have healed by now, and you're nearing the end of your prime. If you don't seize this opportunity to give it your all, you might never have another chance."

"Achieving a natural disaster brings not only an increase in strength, but also a return to peak physical condition and a longer lifespan."

You don't want any of these?

"Can I?"

"If I say you can, then you can!"

Luo Yi encouraged him like this, then looked away and glanced at the people behind her.

"Rand Hoover, Fuck O'Brien, you two are out of the question. You've just broken through to the third rank, and the most important thing is to stabilize your realm."

But Knight Tanya Anderson, Captain Hans Love, and Cody Isaac, Jar Turner…

"You lot, especially you, Tanya, the female tyrant Tanya, you were fearless on the battlefield, but why did you hesitate when breaking through to a higher realm?"

At this point, Luo Yi finally let out a long sigh and said earnestly, "Everyone, I admit that I have selfish motives."

The Flower Territory has developed too rapidly and needs more strong individuals to protect it, and I hope that you are those strong individuals.

"I hope that when I reach a higher position, you will still be following behind me."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent at first, then they all bowed respectfully, saying, "We will certainly live up to the Earl's high expectations!"

"Alright, now let's discuss the details of the breakthrough."

They said they wanted to discuss breakthroughs, but Luo Yi didn't set a mandatory timeframe for them to break through.

They need to adjust their mindset and find opportunities for breakthroughs themselves, rather than resorting to violent intervention.

What Luo Yi could prepare for them was more cultivation resources.

For example, more suitable third-tier potions, medicinal baths tailored to their physiques, and fourth-tier awakening potions.

To increase their chances of breaking through, Luo Yi even had Shen Lan tailor a unique training plan for them.

While I can't achieve the same level of precision as him, I can still increase the success rate by several percent.

In addition, he also opened up many cultivation methods for third-tier extraordinary combat skills, especially those such as Battle Qi Wings and Saint Mark's Shield, which are essential skills on the future battlefield. He urged everyone to cultivate them.

Of course, these third-order ones need to be taken seriously, but the second-order ones below also need to be taken seriously.

Loy directly instructed Alfonso to preside over a grand military competition within the First Guard of the Flower Territory.

The purpose is to select the second-tier powerhouses and, in the name of rewards, provide them with ample cultivation resources to accelerate their growth and breakthroughs.

This is something to look forward to!
The Raymond family has ruled this place for over a thousand years. Although there have been ups and downs, they have accumulated a wealth of knowledge and talent.

Luo Yi planned to uncover them all this time. As long as some of them achieved the third-tier transcendental level, his investment would be worthwhile.

Although the emergence of heavy machine guns, semi-automatic rifles, and magic cannons has to some extent leveled the gap between the strong and ordinary people.

But don't forget, these weapons are also operated by people!
The same heavy machine gun can have vastly different effects in the hands of an ordinary soldier versus a third-tier knight.

In Luo Yi's opinion, once a third-tier extraordinary powerhouse becomes familiar with the battlefield and magical weapons, they can all be regarded as Captain America.

The pinnacle of ordinary people, coupled with highly efficient killing weapons, is what makes a true special forces king!
In a sense, the war between the Allied Forces and the Empire was large-scale and very intense, but in terms of tactics and techniques, they were still in the exploratory stage and not yet mature.

Of course, support is necessary, but Luo Yi did not completely waive their fees.

Instead, different benefits and discounts were given based on different levels and performance. If someone really couldn't come up with enough wealth, they were allowed to write an IOU and only charge very low interest.

Once the breakthrough is successful, that person's income will inevitably rise to a new level, and repaying the loan will be a simple matter.

In fact, with Luo Yi's financial resources, it wouldn't be impossible for him to get everything for free, but he knew very well that things obtained for free are not cherished.

Only through immense hardship and burdened with debt could they find the motivation to cultivate. That's human nature; there's nothing we can do about it.

After spending a considerable amount of time explaining her arrangements, Luo Yi dismissed everyone amidst their excitement.

No matter how much he does, it's only a helping hand. The real breakthrough depends on them themselves.

Therefore, the specific decision rests with them.

After making the arrangements, Luo Yi walked towards the group of several powerful beings from the Natural Disasters.

At this moment, Otto, the Flame Sword Saint, stood up and said, half seriously and half jokingly, "Count, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. We guys really don't have the guts to try to break through!"

Beyond natural disasters, legends are born!
It may seem like just a step away, but in terms of difficulty, it's more difficult than all the previous levels combined.

That's something that ordinary fourth-tier players wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Therefore, Otto's words, though said in jest, also carried a hint of frustration.

But at this moment, Luo Yi said, "I dare not hope to become a legend, but I can still improve my own strength, right?"

Before Otto, the Flame Sword Saint, could react, the sharp-witted Iron Knight Phil immediately stood up and asked, "Count, what do you mean?"

"A secret sacred technique!"

"Are you really willing to teach me?"

"There's nothing I'm unwilling to do!"

As Luo Yi said this, she raised her hand and took out a roll of silver dragon skin, which she then spread out on the table with a flick of her wrist.

"To be honest, I wouldn't dare let you practice any normal secret techniques casually, because the risks involved are hard to predict."

But this [Divine Sigh] technique is acceptable.

To be honest, it wasn't until Luo Yi came into contact with more secret and sacred techniques that she realized just how extraordinary this [Divine Sigh] truly was.

First of all, among all the secret and sacred techniques, its entry barrier is the lowest.

Arcadia Crystals, magical beast cores that possess both holy and fire attributes, were considered very difficult to find by Loy back then.

But for him now, although he still cherishes it, it's just that—cherishing.

With Lady Palacios around, concocting custom potions is not difficult.

At the same time, this sacred skill is also rare in that it has strong universality.

It requires neither special bloodlines nor transplantation, and has no strange side effects, making it a universally applicable secret technique.

Furthermore, all three of them—Loy, Oliveira, and Ang—have practiced cultivation without any failures.

It can be said that, if mastered properly, it could be the only secret sacred technique that can be widely popularized.

That's amazing!
Not only this sacred technique, but also the person who created it.

Of course, even if the Flame Sword Saint and the Iron Knight had cultivated, since they were already at the fourth level, they could only complete one purification of battle qi at most.

This is the least cost-effective option!

But just one purification of battle qi is enough to set them apart from ordinary fourth-tier warriors.

What's more, there's also a powerful move like [Divine Sigh - Behemoth Heartbeat].

Even though Loy had already taken the item out, Otto still couldn't quite believe his eyes.

He swallowed hard and said, "Your Excellency, is this really for us?"

"I've already taken it out, what do you say?"

"But this is really, really..."

Luo Yi joked, "Could it be that the Flame Sword Saint doesn't like it? If that's the case, I'll take it back!"

Before the Flame Sword Saint Otto could speak, the Iron Knight Phil quickly covered his mouth.
Ignoring his whimpering, Phil simply put on a smile and said, "Your Excellency, he's tongue-tied and doesn't know how to speak properly."

What he really meant was, "From now on, if you have any missions, just give the order. We'll go through fire and water for you!"

As he said this, he turned to look at Otto, baring his teeth and giving him a warning look.

Otto also realized what was happening and quickly said, "Yes, yes, Phil is right. We would go through fire and water without hesitation."

"You have done your best for the Raymond family and for Flower Territory, so there is no need for you to go through fire and water."

But now, there is something I need you to do.

"what?"

"You've been at the fourth rank for so long, you must know quite a few powerful beings from the Heavenly Calamity Realm!"

Please ask around for me if anyone would be willing to come and serve as an offering.

"Excellent compensation package, details to be discussed in person!"
