A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

"Don't you understand? That's my strength! As long as someone pays attention to me, I will be strengthened. Whether it's my body, my mind, or even my learning ability, I will become stronger. And only when thousands of eyes are watching can my strength reach its peak."

Princess Changdao smiled and looked around. There were at least hundreds of people watching from afar.

After all, the longer the time, the more people will be attracted by the movement here.

Thomas couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

He remembered that in his past life, there were indeed some people with "histrionic personalities" who drew a sense of superiority and energy from the attention they received. These people loved nothing more than attention and jumped at the chance to be in public.

It seemed that he had a female classmate in his previous life who became the school announcer. This made her energetic every day, as if she had absorbed a spirit bomb.

But I have never seen anyone with the extraordinary ability to absorb energy from the attention of the crowd.

No wonder he is willing to be a dance star or a top star in the theater even though he clearly has the fighting power to protect the country halfway.

In this era, what can attract more attention than the top star of the theater?

"Do you understand now? It's too late!" said the Princess of Long Sword. She suddenly rushed forward with her sword in hand.

This knife technique... is a little different from before.

Thomas swung his sword to block, and after several consecutive moves, he was forced to retreat step by step.

The Long Sword Princess's movements were different from before, and there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Because of this accident, although Thomas was faster, he chose to defend instead of attack for a while.

The two sides crossed each other again and jumped back, and Thomas realized what was going on.

What you did just now was not knife technique, but sword technique.

There are differences in how to wield a knife and a sword. Just now, the Long Sword Princess was using a knife as a sword. No wonder it felt so strange.

No, it's more than that.

The move she just used... was from Thomas!

Damn, she actually learned Thomas's sword moves during the battle and used them in actual combat?

What kind of monster is this?

"If I'm not mistaken, this is an Italian sword technique," said the Long Sword Princess. "It's more offensive, and... this style is supposed to have a small shield. But you modified the moves that should have used a shield."

It wasn't me who changed it, it was my teacher Giuliano...

Thomas complained in his heart, but did not say it out loud.

"To be able to achieve this level, one can be considered a master of swordsmanship. It's remarkable that he hasn't completely indulged in supernatural powers. While developing his potential, he has never given up on swordsmanship. Very outstanding."

"What a pity... Such an outstanding person like you will surely perish here today." Princess Changdao said.

"Who do you think you are?" Thomas's eyes were bright, and magic flowed through his body.

Anyone can brag. Although Thomas's condition has declined at this time, he can advance or retreat at any time as long as he wants.

Just in case, a ball of divine power flowed into the body, instantly recovering all fatigue and bruises.

But even so, simply competing in martial arts might not be enough!

"Haha, next, I'll let you truly understand the true power of Half-Step Protector of the Nation!"

For the first time, Princess Long Sword chose to hold the sword with both hands.

A light shone on her knife.

In an instant, the entire long sword began to glow. Affected by the light, the entire long sword seemed to be inflated and expanded. It even became a little out of proportion to her body shape.

But this should be an effect of light refraction, not that the knife has really become bigger.

The power of the Long Sword Princess changes the density of the surrounding air, causing this visual effect.

At the same time, Thomas also released all the power he had accumulated.

Steel Soul Secret Technique: Time Stands Still!

Nightmare Sword: Jade!

His sword also temporarily emitted a light blue light, making the sword instantly look like a sapphire.

Even the Long Sword Princess's attention was instantly drawn to the Nightmare Sword.

Although it recovers in a very short moment, this moment determines attack and defense.

The two men's weapons collided again in an instant.

It made a sound that was no less than that of a matchlock rifle.

Half of the long sword flew into the air... but it had exhausted its service life and broke in the fight with the magic sword.

The huge kinetic energy made it fly a long distance, but it still penetrated the floor tiles and went deep into the ground.

Chapter 251: Princess of the Long Sword 7

Princess Long Sword turned and ran.

The clothes on her arms were torn, revealing her forearms covered with red marks.

He never dreamed that he was only here to deal with a wolf leader.

But it was beaten into what it is now.

Thomas didn't chase after him. He just watched the other person's disappearing back, turned around and ran back the way he came.

I had to leave; I was too conspicuous in the square. There was no telling when the city's large group of soldiers would arrive.

And the attack just now... was too powerful.

In that final blow, he had used all his might at its peak. But he only appeared to have won...

He said this because he knew he hadn't won and only gained the advantage with the help of the magic sword.

The opponent had a top-grade weapon made of refined steel, but Thomas had a magic sword forged by the great magician himself using the secret art of alchemy.

The long sword could not withstand the power of both sides, but the magic sword could.

The sword could withstand it, but the person could not. The huge recoil force made Thomas feel that his internal organs were trembling.

There was a sweetness in my throat and I could feel liquid overflowing from the corners of my mouth.

Although it didn't reach the point where divine power was required for treatment, it was still a serious injury.

If he didn't have the magic sword in his hand, both weapons would have broken at this moment.

Things will be hard to say then.

This is the true strength of Half-Step Protector of the Nation.

Before, he had only used basic attacks, not ultimates. To put it bluntly, he didn't treat Thomas as a real opponent and didn't fight with all his strength.

If the opponent goes all out from the beginning, Thomas, who won't have time to cast spells, will most likely lose the battle.

The most likely possibility is that he can recover through a round of divine power, reveal his "immortality" and scare the opponent away.

If he doesn't get scared off, then this day next year may very well be the anniversary of Thomas's death.

And divine healing is ultimately Thomas' trump card, and if possible, he doesn't want anyone to know.

“Ichi!” Thomas called softly. From his arm, Ichi shot out and tangled around the corner of a high building.

It directly pulled Thomas' body high up and jumped over the entire building. Then, it pulled Thomas' body as he fell, cushioning and reducing the impact of Thomas' fall.

This means that Thomas doesn't need to use any strength at all and can easily jump over a building.

Jumped directly into an alley.

It also completely isolates the gaze behind you.

Thomas quickly took off his mask and ran to the other side of the street.

After turning three and two corners, I finally entered the street with confidence.

He would not go to the Wolf's Lair again. Furthermore, he would send someone to tell the old man to leave as well. After all, the enemy already knew the old man's appearance.

Just let the Wolf Lord send a new assistant.

He wasn't the alpha wolf anyway, just a special envoy. He didn't need to worry about any of that messy stuff. Rebuilding the wolf den was none of his business.

and!

The root of this matter lies in the Gwalan family.

This was the last time he killed little Gwalan, but without completely eradicating the problem.

It is true that if you don't remove the roots of the grass, it will grow again in the spring breeze!

Thomas was filled with murderous intent.

No one can be let off this time, otherwise this kind of thing will definitely happen again.

No one can say for sure whether a real patriot will come to kill him at that time.

After all, they can mass-produce elite warriors. It's normal to have a national protector!

……

Within a few days, the news of the duel in the square spread throughout Novgorod.

There were so many witnesses that everyone from nobles to common people were discussing the matter.

Everyone heard the news from different channels.

Apart from anything else, the half-broken sword was still stuck in the square ground. It was stuck so deep and firmly that even a strong man couldn't pull it out.

This has become a scenic spot in the city, and every day large crowds of onlookers come to admire it.

Apart from other things, every restaurant and bar in the city was filled with groups of people chatting about this matter.

Not to mention the pub, even in Hagia Sophia, people preparing to worship were discussing this matter.

Previously, because of the Gwalan family, Wolf's Den was often mentioned, but it was basically mentioned as an intelligence organization.

But this time, things were a little different.

Many people witnessed that battle, but due to rumors, it has become exaggerated.

"That day... the leader of the Wolf's Den, with his feet as swift as the wind, leaped lightly over the tall building over there..."

"...The two men clashed swords, and suddenly, thunder descended from the sky. With a loud boom, it crashed down into the city..."

Thomas was also in the corner of the church, and his lips twitched slightly as he listened.

The wind was blowing so hard that thunder and lightning came.

While listening to someone bragging, I heard the sound of wheels outside.

The mail truck is here.

The mail truck always gives priority to delivering church letters, so it always comes to the cathedral first.

Thomas was cheered up, but he didn't care about anything else and hurried out to find the postman first.

The journey was difficult in winter, and naturally the number of mail trucks was greatly reduced.

Fortunately, this time his joy was not in vain, as the letter he had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived.

He had previously reported that the Novgorod branch commander might pledge allegiance to the prince, but it was not until now, a month or two later, that the commander-in-chief's reply arrived.

Therefore, in this era, the speed of information transmission by the birds of the Wolf's Den is unmatched. It can be called a dimensionality reduction attack.

If not for this, Wolf's Den would not have developed to this level.

In his reply, the Grand Master praised Thomas' progress and fully agreed with Thomas' idea of ​​further exploration.

In addition, the leader also expressed some opinions on the issue of potions.

He believed that this could not have been the result of a Chude tribe wizard suddenly coming to his senses and figuring out how to make a safe potion. It was more likely the product of some remnant of the past.

Thomas must conduct a thorough investigation and, if possible, get a bottle of potion and bring it back to the Knights' headquarters.

In most cases, the remnants of the Old Ones will inevitably come into conflict with humans.

However, in some cases, it is possible that the Old Ones and humans can coexist peacefully.

For example, when the remnants of the Old Ones can provide benefits to humanity.

However, the Grand Commander also clearly pointed out that these remnants of the old times are the most dangerous.
