Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

The extraction of battle aura failed.

This was because battle aura was derived from Eastern martial arts. In theory, it was still a type of physical energy. It was fundamentally different from the combat method of a mage who rubbed fireballs with his mental strength.

It swam in his body and acted on his body. It could resonate with his muscles and cause his body to erupt with extremely powerful strength, allowing him to do things that mortals could not do, such as rebounding, enduring, killing, and so on.

In short, it was used to buff warriors.

This involved a problem.

A warrior with a buff was still a warrior. Even if his battle aura erupted, he still had to slash with a large knife. It was just that his slash was stronger and more exciting.

Battle aura could not be released.

At the very least, at the knight's level, he could not do this.

If he wanted to use his battle aura to leave his body to kill the enemy, it would first consume a huge amount of energy. Secondly, the efficiency was not high. The battle qi light blade he slashed out would dissipate after flying for a few meters. He might as well jump over and slash a few times. What was the point?

Kang De understood this.

This was very martial arts. Most people were extras who waved swords. Energy waves were the privilege of the strong.

Since the knight could not control the battle aura to leave his body, he had also tried to place his hand on Cleveland's shoulder, trying to use his mental strength to restrain and capture it.

Then, he failed.

He did not capture that ethereal energy. What was enveloped by his mental strength was the knight's shoulder. Cleveland immediately felt a strong sense of unease, and a conflicting emotion instinctively appeared in his heart. As soon as he moved to resist, Kang De felt a pain in his head and hurriedly let go.

Therefore, this matter was dropped and left unsettled.

Then, Kang De continued to train with the knight, mainly to practice his physical reaction ability.

Of course, this was a few days later.

That day, he chatted with Tina and finally comprehended something. He wanted to find the knight to spar and verify it. However, the princess actually lost her temper, which was rare. Then, she even wheedled and forced Kang De to stay. She did not even hesitate to be a lab rat again and let him extract and analyze her magic.

He could not understand why Tina had suddenly become like this.

Women were indeed difficult to understand.

However, it did not matter. Kang De did not suffer any losses at all. Moreover, he could see the beautiful girl blush coquettishly and make strange sounds. No matter how he thought about it, he had profited.

As for finding a knight to verify and spar, it was better to do it another day.

Another day.

Now.

In the cabin specially opened for combat practice, with a bang, Kang De and Cleveland fell to the ground at the same time. This wrestle ended with a draw.

"The improvement is obvious."

The two of them helped each other up. The knight smiled and said, "Kang De's physical fitness is very powerful, far surpassing mine without the strengthening of my battle aura. However, the training the day after tomorrow is more important. You lack enough experience and can't unleash your powerful strength. When this shortcoming begins to be filled, you'll improve quickly."

Kang De smiled.

A fragrant wind blew. Tina ran forward and handed him a towel and water. "Take a break, Kang De. Although contact is important, rest is also important. A short relaxation is to practice more efficiently."

She handed the water to Kang De and wiped his sweat with a towel.

Cleveland was left to the side in embarrassment. He stood in a daze for a moment, touched his head, and walked to the side. There was water and towels on the box over there.

The princess's targeted cold treatment puzzled him.

However, he praised the wisdom of Maid Bedolla in his mind.

The head maid told him that if he wanted to help, he had to work hard to build a good relationship with Kang De. From time to time, he would find him to chat with. There was no need to ask anything else. It was enough to do this.

Although he did not understand what was happening, it was really effective.

The princess would now take the initiative to help Kang De wipe his face.

However… this feeling of being deliberately ignored made the knight feel a little aggrieved and disappointed.

Thinking about it, this was normal.

In front of the man she cared about, she kept a distance from her own knight… Her Highness had also reached this stage.

He looked at the two of them and smiled knowingly.

Kang De was a little nervous, happy, and a little embarrassed. At this moment, he turned around and happened to see Cleveland's gratified smile. Seeing his friend smile so happily, Kang De returned a hearty smile.

Then, Tina saw the scene of the two of them looking at each other and laughing.

What a sad story.

Therefore, the days passed.

He would either discuss magic with Tina or practice combat with the knight. Sometimes, he would go back and chat with the captain and other officers to understand the world. Sometimes, he would chat with the sailors and tell colorful jokes.

Everyone liked him.

It was not only for Tina's sake but also because of Kang De himself.

The men at sea agreed with the strong. Kang De had already proven his strength.

Moreover, he was very rich, his words were pleasant, and he had guts.

Every night, small-scale screenings on the deck had become reserved events.

Now that the sailors saw Kang De, it was simply as if they had seen their lord.

He had brought entertainment to this world.

The captain and the others also liked some sweets and wine that Kang De had brought over.

Everyone liked him very much.

In such a fulfilling and relaxed life at sea, time continuously passed. Kang De was even used to and liked this life. He sailed freely and sat on what he wanted to do. When he was tired, he could chat with someone and watch beautiful women. It was really very, very comfortable.

However, eternal drifting was only a fantasy. This voyage had a purpose, and of course, a destination.

That night, the Penguin held an upper-level meeting. Kang De was also invited to attend. He sat at the head of the knight, on Princess Tina's right. He did not understand the etiquette and rules of the other world, but he was forced to sit there by the knight. No one present had any objections.

This meeting was about the destination of the Penguin.

Kang De asked, "Are we about to reach the capital?"

This was the final destination he knew. It was the capital of the Human Empire, the most glorious and largest city on the continent, and the political and cultural center of the entire human race.

Tina was going there to lobby the authorities of this country to provide more active assistance to Goethe.

The princess shook her head and said, "No, we can't go directly to the capital. Firstly, a lot of resources have been consumed on the ship, so we have to buy supplies. Secondly, we've obtained some important gains on the Holy Seal Islands. Then, the plan to go to the capital to ask for help can be adjusted and prepared to a certain extent."

She turned around and pointed at the sea map on the wall. "Therefore, we have to stop here."

The captain added, "Glory Sand Viscounty, the territory of the Goode family. They're one of Goethe's trading partners and have a good personal relationship with the Tedrell family. We have to rest and prepare here."
