The Knight of Light plants the sun in the eternal night.

Chapter 79 Surging Fighting Spirit (First Update)

The two explored the entire Swamp Manor like friends, but it wasn't just a casual stroll. Leo also took the opportunity to ask Vanessa for advice on cultivating Holy Light Aura.

Vanessa is a genius knight.

A 24-year-old Tier 3 female Phantom Beast Knight.

This talent for cultivating Holy Light Battle Qi is unparalleled among the younger generation and is renowned throughout the entire Lancashire County.

Wherever nobles gather, Vanessa is the talk of the town, and many noble knights are eager to woo her.

If she weren't mentally ill, constantly thinking about the dragon knight.

She's probably already married.

"Leo, your cultivation of battle qi is indeed a bit slow right now." Vanessa examined Leo's cultivation level and analyzed it carefully. "But knight cultivation is not something that can be achieved overnight. It is common for people to accumulate strength and then unleash it."

She paused for a moment, then smiled sweetly and said, "But you'll need to work even harder to become a Dragon Knight."

"I know," Leo nodded.

He wasn't flustered at all. While others might be 2nd-tier Grand Knights by the age of sixteen, he was still only a 1st-tier Knight.

But he knew that his chances of becoming a dragon knight far exceeded those of anyone else.

Because—he has cheat codes.

"Vanessa, where have I reached in my knight training as a first-tier knight? According to my own estimation, I should be at the late stage of first-tier knight—"

"Yes, the quality and quantity of holy light battle aura vary from knight to knight, which is related to talent and physique. However, when I examined your body just now, I roughly felt that you are still some distance away from having dense battle aura."

"Dense battle qi?"

"This is my summary of the training stages. Based on the quality and quantity of battle qi, I roughly divide a first-tier knight into four stages: thin battle qi, warm battle qi, surging battle qi, and finally, dense battle qi."

As the name suggests, it's easy to explain.

In Leo's view, a thin fighting spirit indicates the early stage of a Tier 1 Knight, a warm fighting spirit indicates the middle stage of a Tier 1 Knight, and a surging fighting spirit indicates the late stage of a Tier 1 Knight.

If the fighting spirit is so dense, then it's the peak of a first-tier knight.

Two days ago, he ate another handful of sunflower seeds from a sunflower plant, extracted a large amount of battle qi, and rushed to the late stage of the first-tier knight in one go.

This is what Vanessa referred to as the "surging fighting spirit" stage.

After that, the two gardeners frequently cast spells on the sunflower plants, and small flowers bloomed again on the flower heads of the sunflower plants. However, this time the growth of the small flowers was much slower, and it was clear that their potential had been exhausted.

There's only one last chance for the result.

In Leo's opinion, it was already difficult to reach the peak of battle qi with the help of three sunflower seeds, and the last one might not be able to help him reach the peak of dense battle qi.

He will have to work hard to improve himself in the future.

of course.

With the mark of the sun in hand, there's no need for arduous cultivation. Silently waiting for a flower symbol similar to the fly umbrella plant might just lead to a direct advancement to a 2nd-tier Grand Knight.

We strolled around until evening.

Leo then took Vanessa to the Spring Crystal Field, which was under construction.

The greenhouses here are not yet finished, but in the cultivated magic crystal fields, the seedlings of the light plants are already lush and green, mostly fungi, with fluorescent mushrooms and porcini mushrooms being the most abundant, and many have already begun to glow.

Next are the sunflower seedlings.

Leo can now cast Holy Light three times a day, once in the morning, once at noon, and once in the evening. He cast Holy Light on the seedlings, and soon several sunflowers grew from buds into flower heads and then bloomed with bright light.

"Wow, that's beautiful!" Vanessa clapped her hands gently. "Leo, you're amazing."

It provides a lot of emotional value.

Leo couldn't help but smile: "My Holy Light spell has been blessed by the Holy Light. These sunflowers are all excellent varieties that I cultivated myself. I'll send you a batch of seeds later, and you can take them back to Floating Duckweed Manor to plant."

"Mmm," Vanessa replied softly.

Old Bob, the manager of the Sunflower Group in the Magic Crystal Field, who was following behind, glanced at his lord and then stole a look at Vanessa.

A sense of unease began to rise in my mind.

"Tsk tsk in amazement: 'Young Master Leo is never short of noble ladies by his side—first it was the Countess, and now it's the female phantom beast knight—the Holy Light truly adores our Young Master Leo!'"

"Old Bob," Leo suddenly called out.

"Oh, Mr. Leo, old Bob is here. Please give me your orders." Old Bob always had a fawning smile on his face.

"Once the sunflower plants are glowing, transplant them. Also, your sunflower group needs to regularly patrol the sunflower plants near the streetlights next to the fort. Harvest the seeds when they are ripe and put them into breeding immediately."

"Yes, yes, young master Leo, don't worry, old Bob and the Sunflower Team patrol every day!"

"Um."

Leo gave a few pointers before leading Vanessa out of the crystal field.

Oden, who was supervising the serfs in building the wall, rushed over: "My lord, I'm here to report on the progress of the Spring Crystal Field."

He has been transferred out of the patrol team and is now specifically in charge of the magic crystal fields.

After listening to the report, Leo patted Oden on the shoulder: "Keep up the good work. The Magic Crystal Field is crucial to the future of the manor, so we can't afford to slack off at all."

"Please rest assured, sir!" Auden patted his chest and assured him.

"Don't slack off on your personal training either, Auden. I've also reached the stage where my fighting spirit is surging. Let's have a good practice another day."

"My lord, I—I am no match for you." Oden scratched the back of his head. "I cannot break your secret technique."

"I won't use any secret techniques to fight you!"

"Yes, sir!" Oden's eyes lit up, regaining some confidence.

After Leo led Vanessa away, he was still marveling, "My lord is truly gifted! In such a short time, his cultivation has already caught up with mine. I'm almost ten years older than him—I need to work harder!"

Different people see Leo's talent differently.

In the eyes of a genius knight like Vanessa, Leo's talent was mediocre.

But in the eyes of an ordinary knight like Oden, Leo could be considered a genius.

Leo and Vanessa ate dinner alone, without any knights like Rhodes accompanying them. They chatted and ate in a relaxed manner.

Like friends who can talk about anything.

Vanessa liked this feeling, and so did Leo.

Dirk, the butler who served the meal, also enjoyed it and couldn't help but smile like an aunt.

Like Frankenstein, he thought Vanessa Floating was the perfect match for Leo in every way. A young and beautiful mythical beast knight, she was worthy of being the mistress of the swamp manor.

Moreover, judging from the scene at the dinner, Vanessa and her young master were definitely mutually attracted to each other.

"If it succeeds—the old lady and the master will be very happy, and even Mrs. Heather, who has returned to the embrace of the Holy Light, will smile with satisfaction if she sees this scene from heaven," Butler Dirk thought.

After dinner.

Vanessa was about to take her leave when Leo didn't try to stop her. Instead, he pointed to the big black dog-crocodile and said, "This dog-crocodile is for Little Pipi. I hope Little Pipi will treat Big Black well and fight alongside him."

Vanessa smiled sweetly and said, "Don't worry, Leo, if Little Pippi dares to bully Big Black, I won't hold back."

The otter perched atop the crocodile's head rolled its eyes in protest again: "Chirp!"
