Early in the morning, the sun illuminated the land.
In a spacious room, a handsome youth sat on a wooden chair in Silence, reading a book in his hands.
He was reading very quickly. Compared to the slow pace of others, he was reading at the speed of flipping a book. It made people wonder if he could even read the contents clearly.
[Recording complete. Beginning transmission!]
After finishing a book, the A.I. Chip's robotic voice sounded in his mind again.
At the same time, a stream of information surged from his mind and was transmitted to his memory.
Adil shook his head, dispelling the dizziness caused by the transmission. He then picked up another book and quickly flipped through it.
He flipped through the books very quickly, and before he knew it, he had already flipped through all the books on the wooden table.
"That's it for today."
Looking at the wooden table full of books, Adil shook his head and stood up. After relaxing his body a little, he walked to the side and put the books back on their original shelves.
Looking at the books on the shelves that he had almost flipped through, Adil couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded.
Unknowingly, more than a month had passed since he had arrived here.
Over the past month or so, he had not been completely idle.
Because it was located in the prosperous southern region, Duke Ariel had collected many more books than Count Boria. If all the rare books and precious information were taken out, he could build a few small libraries.
These were the foundations of nobility, and they also represented a noble's strength and history.
In this period of time, Adil had practically thrown himself into these precious books, studying almost without eating or sleeping, enriching his knowledge.
Due to his previous life as a researcher, compared to others, Adil was more able to endure loneliness. He could also find his own amusement in a pile of cold books and knowledge.
This attitude, in addition to the high learning ability of the A.I. Chip, allowed him to forcibly read through all the books in front of him in the past month.
After gently arranging the various books on the wooden table, Adil walked around and looked at his attributes.
[Name: Adil Farcus. Strength: 10.1. Agility: 9.9. Constitution: 10.2. "
[Host's body has reached its limits!] The A.I. Chip's cold voice sounded in his mind.
After more than a month, under the effect of the remnant red crystal core, his physique had finally reached its peak, reaching a point where there was no room for improvement.
As for the red crystal core, it had been used up a long time ago.
At this thought, Adil felt a little helpless.
He picked up his long sword from the wooden table, walked out of the room, and quickly walked to a flat ground.
This was the training ground that Duke Ariel had specially prepared for him. Not only were there all sorts of training equipment placed around the training ground, there were also specialized servants serving him from the side. It was an excellent treatment.
In fact, Duke Ariel had even mentioned that if Adil wanted, he could even send a Grand Knight to be his sparring partner. It wouldn't be a problem for him to find someone to test his swordplay on.
The first one was still acceptable, but the second one was a little crazy.
The so-called swordplay was to find someone to hack at and use the flesh and blood of a person to practice. It could strengthen the Knight's familiarity with the structure of the human body, and it could also be used to practice some secret techniques.
It was said that some ancient secret killing techniques required one to use flesh and blood to test their swordplay. There were even some Knights who liked to kill people to test their swordplay for fun.
Although Adil didn't consider himself a good person, he wouldn't be crazy to this extent unless it was absolutely necessary.
However, although he had rejected these suggestions, it could be seen from Duke Ariel's support for him. He didn't dare to say that he would spare no effort, but it shouldn't be too far off.
Silent, he walked to the center of the training ground. Standing there, Adil slowly pulled out the long sword at his waist.
The long sword made of Black Rui Steel was slowly pulled out and held in his hand. Then, he stabbed forward at an angle, beginning his daily training.
Upward slash, straight stab, forward slash … A series of basic movements became smoother and smoother in Adil's hands. There wasn't the slightest bit of awkwardness that others had when they trained.
Not long after, Adil finished this training. He stood where he was and felt the changes in his body. He couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
In this period of time when his body's strength had reached its limit, Adil had no choice but to think of other ways to improve his battle prowess.
Although this set of swordplay was the most basic of swordplay, it had been deduced by the A.I. Chip's powerful analysis. It was the most suitable standard swordplay for the human body.
Compared to the past, this new and concise set of swordplay was not only easier to use, but the damage it would cause was also minimised.
Not only did he use the basic swordplay, but Adil had also used the A.I. Chip to come up with a few new sets of swordplay. Even the Tyr's Breath technique that he had originally deduced was now much more advanced.
This was all thanks to Duke Ariel's unstinting support.
With his support, large amounts of precious information, be it the Knight breathing technique or the precious high-grade swordplay, were all opened up to Adil.
With the accumulation of a duchy over a hundred years, Adil was able to gather enough basic information to analyse and deduce.
According to the A.I. Chip's simulations, the new Tyr's Breath technique was not only effective for Knights, it could even train Grand Knights to a certain extent. The risks and stability of this technique were also greatly reduced, and it could completely leave all other Knight breathing techniques in the dust.
However, this was still not of much use to Adil. Instead, it was suitable for nurturing some Knights in the future.
Adil stood where he was, shaking his head as he thought to himself.
After standing where he was for a while, he seemed to have thought of something. He walked to a corner, raised the sword in his right hand, and slowly chopped down on his left arm.
He did not use too much force in this strike. The sword fell gently, and under the influence of gravity, it slowly moved to the side, producing a soft sound.
Adil felt a slight pain in his left arm, but it quickly disappeared, as if it had never been there.
He removed the sword and looked at his left arm. There was a slight sword mark, but it quickly disappeared as he removed the sword.
"I've already reached this stage?"
He muttered to himself.
Although he did not use too much force in that strike, with the sharpness of the Black Rui sword, if it had landed on someone else, it would have been enough to cut off their arm. However, when it landed on his arm, it only left a red mark.
This was the result of his overall attributes reaching 10.
This was not just an increase in strength and speed, but also an increase in his defence and recovery rate. All in all, he could already be considered a superhuman.
Standing where he was, Adil commanded the A.I. Chip in his mind, "A.I. Chip, simulate the outcome of a direct battle between me and a hundred men. The opponents' attributes and equipment are mainly those of the Black Knights."
In an instant, the A.I. Chip in his mind replied, [Mission established!]
A scene began to appear, and with the support of the A.I. Chip's immense computing power, it began to evolve.
On an empty plain, Adil's figure was the first to be simulated. Opposite him, a hundred men were charging towards him.
Looking at the army in front of him, Adil's face was wooden and expressionless. He raised his sword and charged forward.
Every time he swung his sword, the life energy in his body would condense into battle qi on the sword, cutting the warriors in front of him into two.
When the weapons of the warriors in front of him landed on his body, apart from the attacks of a few, they could only scratch a layer of his skin. They were unable to cause him any serious injuries, and he quickly dealt with them.
His speed was very fast, and his efficiency in killing was also very high. Almost every few seconds, a warrior would fall to the ground. Even if the surrounding warriors wanted to surround him, he would easily break through them and deal with them one by one.
Very soon, the battle ended with Adil's victory. He did not even suffer any serious injuries.
Sensing that this was over, Adil continued to simulate, directly increasing the number of people on the other side by a hundred.
This time, Adil still won, but it was evident that it was much more strenuous, and he was not as carefree and at ease as before.
When there were 300 people, Adil still won, but he would have to pay a price.
… …
As the number of people increased, it became more and more difficult for Adil to win. Finally, when there were more than 500 people, his victory began to become unstable.
Adil simulated it many times, and the final result was either a pyrrhic victory, or he would be surrounded and killed after killing most of the warriors.
With so many people present, in a head-on battle, no matter how fast Adil's speed was, it was impossible for him to dodge all the attacks from the warriors. Even if he was powerful and could kill a few people with each slash of his sword, there would still be more weapons slashing at his body.
Even though his defense and recovery abilities were powerful, once he was surrounded and attacked, he would also be exhausted to death, and it would be extremely difficult for him to win.
"Looks like this is the limit of a Grand Knight."
Feeling the simulation results in his mind, Adil stood still and shook his head.
Strictly speaking, this was only a rough simulation, and it could only be used as a reference and evaluation.
The situation in reality was far more complicated than the simulation.
Weapons and armor, the terrain, the elite level of the warriors … All of these factors would affect the actual results.
Not all the warriors were like the Black Knights under Cadilla, who had such elite warriors and top-notch weapons and armor.
Putting everything else aside, if the 500 Black Knights were to fight against an ordinary army, even if the other side outnumbered them by a few times, they would probably win easily.
Under normal circumstances, if they really clashed with the Black Knights, facing a Grand Knight like Adil, the other side would definitely use long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows.
Under normal circumstances, Adil would not foolishly fight against an army head-on. With his mobility and stealth, he would have many ways to wear down the other side.
