Full-Time Wizard: Starting with Harvesting Wheat
Chapter 83 Overcoming Natural Reactions
"Father!" Leylin was completely stunned by the sudden slap, his pupils and mouth wide open.
After a long while, he finally came to his senses in shock and looked at his father, Lord Histor, in disbelief.
His eyes held confusion and a hint of hidden hatred!
This palm strike not only shattered everyone's awe of Leylin, but also trampled the entire Lotter family's prestige underfoot!
It's even more powerful than Roy's spinning slash just now!
Incredibly, this palm strike came not from anyone else, but from the current head of the Lotter family.
Is he crazy?
This was Leylin's first thought.
However, Histor's eyes were clear, and despite making large movements, he maintained steady breathing, which was enough to prove that his actions at this moment were all based on clear-headed rationality.
Then there's only one possibility.
Leylin never hesitated to assume the worst of others, even his own father. One might argue that it was precisely because the man was his father that he categorized him as one of the most despicable people.
He wanted to suppress me and establish his own authority...
He was dissatisfied with himself...
He never intended to pass on his family fortune and title to me...
Countless thoughts bombarded Leylin's mind, making him completely oblivious to the fear deep in Histor's eyes; he was only filled with anger.
A volcanic eruption of rage suddenly erupted!
Roy was stunned.
He had only intended for Karazhan to invite Lord Historia, hoping to use Soraya's influence to have the lord teach his son a lesson. He hadn't expected the other party to be so aggressive, launching an attack right away. And judging from the situation, it seemed to be escalating further.
Really...
Where are the sunflower seeds?
I need another chair; I want to sit and watch the show!
"You old fool..." Leylin completely abandoned all pretense of civility, his face contorted with rage. "Draw your sword..."
Before he finished speaking, Histor threw a punch without hesitation!
The force of the punch was several times greater than Roy's spinning slash!
Even the thick fabric covering his arms was torn to shreds by the immense force!
"This is the power of a knight..." Roy narrowed his eyes, watching Leylin's ferocious expression freeze in mid-air.
How will he respond?
"Heh—" Leylin sneered knowingly through his teeth.
He was all too aware of his father's power.
Lord Histor is in his prime, full of energy, and at the peak of his strength and physique. However, Leylin's advantage in age is even more obvious.
In addition, his bloodline ability is "robust," while Hist's is "enhanced."
The effect of strengthening is to tighten muscles in one part of the body, thereby strengthening a particular organ.
This ability can enhance defensive capabilities, and when used on the arms, it can also increase the power of punches.
But Leylin was also well aware of his weaknesses.
As the muscles tense, the muscle mass bulges out and becomes clearly visible. Therefore, he can completely judge whether Hist has used the "Enhancement" ability based on the bulge of the muscles.
At that moment, he peered through the fabric fragments at Histor's arm where he had thrown the punch and found no trace of muscle definition.
This shows that Histor held back with that punch, not using his enhanced version.
If the attack is enhanced, Leylin should avoid its sharp edge; but if it is not enhanced, Leylin's physique is sufficient to withstand it.
Father, you are still too soft-hearted.
Thoughts raced through Lei Lin's mind.
With malice growing, he will ruthlessly defeat Lord Histor in front of everyone, making him lose face!
Even if he is your own father!
Leylin extended his left hand, his arm a full size thicker than Hist's.
This is the effect of robustness!
He was ready. He firmly restrained his father's dominant hand with his left hand, and then used his stronger right hand to knock his father down.
The moment he grabbed that arm, his expression changed.
What is this?
The overwhelming power was like a real Lothar lion charging forward, trying to carve a huge hole in Leylin!
He instantly realized that Histor was not holding back at all; he was clearly using all his strength!
Unfortunately, it was too late.
With a snap, Leylin's forearm bent irregularly to the side, like a tree branch that had been easily broken.
How much of a power difference would it take to break the opponent's hand?
The moment the excruciating pain shot through him, Leylin recoiled violently, his excitement replaced by terror.
This punch was definitely an enhancement effect; otherwise, it wouldn't explain the power that was almost comparable to that of a Grand Knight!
Only a Grand Knight could toy with a Regular Knight like this.
"You... overcame your muscle tension?" Leylin's eyes widened in disbelief.
This is a natural bodily reaction, which becomes more pronounced when the ability is activated. How could it possibly be overcome?
"Me? Well, let's just say that's how it is." Histor dragged his somewhat obese body and walked step by step toward Leylin, his presence exuding immense pressure.
Roy, meanwhile, was already deep in thought.
Based on what Leylin just said, Hist overcame his muscle tension. This means that previously, when Leylin saw Hist attack, he would visibly tense his muscles.
In fact, muscle changes during an attack are a perfectly natural reaction, and in theory, humans should not be able to solve this problem.
But that applies to humans.
As a member of the extraordinary class, can a knight overcome this natural reaction?
It might be difficult.
Judging from Leylin's shocked expression, he had absolutely no clue about it.
The stronger a person is, the better they can control the exertion of their body and make their body move closer to the shape they want. Perhaps Hist is such a strong person.
But Roy knew inside information that Leylin was unaware of, and he had a different guess.
"For a bloodline-based wizard, modifying a knight's bloodline to make his muscle reactions different from ordinary people might not be difficult?"
"In fact, this problem can be solved simply by fusing with a single bloodline..."
Roy suspected that Histor's changes were more likely the result of bloodline modification. Having been exposed to Soraya's teachings, Roy knew that some wizards would take powerful knights as servants and modify their bodies to extend their lifespans and better suit their needs.
Although Soraya said that different wizards have different understandings of "power".
Third-class wizard apprentices, having not learned much witchcraft, have a physique comparable to knight squires, but inferior to full knights who have condensed the seed of life. For them, being able to take a full knight as a follower is already a great fortune.
However, third-class apprentices who master some offensive witchcraft are on a completely different level in terms of strength.
For example, an apprentice who has mastered the zero-ring sorcery fireball spell can easily break through the defenses of a regular knight and injure them with a single, casual fireball.
Therefore, a third-class apprentice already possesses the ability to kill a full-fledged knight, provided they are not brought into close combat.
Second-class apprentices, on the other hand, are capable of instantly killing regular knights and confronting great knights.
A typical first-class apprentice can fight against the strongest knights—legendary knights. A slightly stronger first-class apprentice can even take a legendary knight as their servant.
As a first-class apprentice, and one of the more powerful ones among them, Soraya shouldn't have been interested in Histor, a superhuman who wasn't even a Grand Knight. However, it's also possible that she was simply conducting experiments on Histor, using him as a guinea pig.
