#25 - The battle of the knight's extraordinary power

Those gathered around Su Li tended to believe that he could create miracles, and they were deeply moved by his words.

However, Knight Orstein was not among them. His dignified brown beard trembled as he let out a contemptuous snort from the corner of his lips: "You, a mere squire, presuming to guide an elite knight to break through? How utterly laughable!"

Hearing this, the others also began to awaken, secretly annoyed with themselves. Had they been given a love potion by a succubus? How could they believe such a fantastical thing! A squire, guiding an elite knight to break through? If he had such ability, he would have broken through himself long ago. How could he still be in the early stages of being a squire?

Su Li shrugged nonchalantly and said, "You are free to disbelieve. Just don't regret not seizing this opportunity when you are suffering in the future."

Su Li didn't care about anything Knight Orstein said because he had no way of refusing this proposition. The chance to break through from elite knight to champion knight, even with only a one-in-ten-thousand probability, was something knights would try with every effort.

Sure enough, seeing Su Li turn to leave, Knight Orstein raised his right arm, pointing at Su Li with his warhammer: "I can believe you, but if it turns out you were just fooling me, have you considered the price you will pay?"

The corners of Su Li's mouth tilted up slightly, and he turned back to Knight Orstein, saying, "Doesn't this precisely prove the reliability of what I said? If I wasn't confident, why would I risk paying the price to fool you, Knight Orstein?"

Knight Orstein was, in fact, already persuaded. He knew that Young Master Su Li must have some confidence, otherwise, he wouldn't do something that harmed himself and benefited no one.

However, his pride prevented him from immediately yielding, so he said, "If there really is a reason, it can only be a conspiracy by that fellow, Oldred. But although that guy is boring, he isn't vile. I don't think he would go that far. Excluding all impossibilities, then it must be Young Master Su Li's intention. What are you thinking?"

’What are you thinking’ is clearly a double entendre. It asks both about Su Li's method of helping him break through and Su Li's purpose in helping him break through.

Su Li calmly said, "I've said before, Knight Orstein, the path best suited for you is to go to the Border Prince's territory with me. I've studied your past, and your strength grows fastest in intense battles. Peaceful times are like a file, smoothing the edge of your blade."

Knight Orstein frowned, disappointed to hear this, as he had expected Su Li to have some special advice: "These things you speak of, so many elites and mentors in the Knights have considered. I've also sparred with others, but there's simply no way to break through."

"No, it's just that comfortable sparring gives you no motivation. A comfortable life not only dulls your edge but also makes your heart too lax. Only battles on the edge of life and death, only the sharpness of cutting through thorns, can help you break through this restraint. Don't you want to re-experience the days of opening up the Thorns River Valley, fighting monsters, risking your life against enemies, that kind of bloody battle, invincible and fearless?"

Finishing speaking, Su Li pointed to the knights beside him and said, "Are you even worthy of being compared to Grand Commander Oldred now? These knights beside me all have the spirit of forging ahead. While they are actively exploring and adventuring, what are you doing? Hiding in the camp, cultivating bitterly, even afraid to face the mocking gazes of others. I think you are not even worthy of being compared to the knights beside me, let alone Grand Commander Oldred."

"Everyone, attack! Beat him awake, beat him to death."

Seeing the furious, bull-like blood-red eyes of Knight Orstein, all the elite knights beside Su Li gasped. They had been utterly tricked by Young Master Su Li this time!

Knight Orstein's greatest taboo in life was others discussing the gap between him and Grand Commander Oldred. He would be extremely annoyed even if someone mentioned Oldred in front of him.

But now, Young Master Su Li not only compared the two but also belittled him to nothing!

This enraged lion completely lost control, swinging his warhammer and rushing madly toward the knights beside Su Li, seemingly to vent his anger on them, or perhaps to prove that he was far stronger than them.

His golden aura erupted, and the warhammer roared through the air like a lion's roar.

Frederick clenched his fist in exasperation and immediately met him with a glaive, shouting, "Gather and prepare to meet the attack! If we can't stop him in this situation, we're all doomed!"

Before his voice faded, the warhammer in Orstein's hand had already drawn a golden arc in the air, heavily smashing into Frederick's glaive. The tremendous roar of metal clashing against metal was deafening, and some weak coachmen and servants even bled from their ears.

Su Li also gasped. This was the first time since his transmigration that he had seen an elite knight go all out. It was simply a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex. This one strike from the two of them almost created a massive shockwave.

After one strike, Knight Frederick was clearly at a disadvantage. He staggered back two steps before stopping, while Knight Orstein immediately launched the next strike after the first, charging, comboing, heavy chopping. Although he didn't use any skills, the immense pressure still made Frederick unable to parry and was directly smashed back by the heavy hammer.

The other two elite knights, respectively wielding a sword and shield and a two-handed sword, rushed to meet him. He decisively dodged, slamming the hammer onto the shield of the sword and shield knight in front. Even though the sword and shield knight had prepared to parry and deflect the force, he was still hammered to the point where his left arm trembled, and he knelt on one knee.

The greatsword knight had no choice but to face Orstein alone. The immense pressure made him roar, "Divine Restriction · Crimson Night of No Light!"

As he roared, his blade rapidly turned crimson red, the sword pointing straight at the sky. Behind him, a huge dragon's eye appeared, its scarlet eyes staring majestically at Knight Orstein, who was fiercely charging forward.

All the onlookers exclaimed in surprise. Bloodline manifestation, this was the elite knight's ultimate skill! This showed how seriously he regarded this battle and also showed the enormous pressure Knight Orstein was giving him, causing him to unleash this skill used in life-and-death struggles.

The offensive was too fierce. Two terrifying red-black glows appeared from the dragon's eye. If hit by these glows, one's bloodline abilities would be immediately sealed, and one would fall into dizziness and fear. This strike was almost borrowing the dragon's might. The helplessness of humans facing dragons was vividly displayed.

Su Li felt that if he were to deal with this strike, he would have no ability to resist at all. But Knight Orstein was still handling things with ease after attacking the sword and shield knight, stepping on the kneeling knight's shield and directly launching a charge, both dodging the two terrifying glows and breaking out of the encirclement of the other knights flanking him from the side. Then, he smashed the elite knight who had just released his bloodline power with a heavy hammer, forcing him back two steps with brute force.

In an instant, Orstein, without using any bloodline abilities, relied solely on his superb combat skills and powerful arm strength to defeat three knights who were also elite-level!

Seeing this, Schwartz, wearing vibranium rune armor, also became serious. With a wave of his hand, he also took out a warhammer and rushed toward Knight Orstein.

"Bloodline Glory · Crimson Night Sharp Formation!"

With his roar, the knights who were fighting were simultaneously invigorated, their weapons imbued with a crimson, blood-like light.

As members of the Crimson Night Knights, Knight Orstein certainly recognized this iconic tactic of the Knights. When the knights' weapons shone with dazzling red light, they would be like enraged Red Dragon monarchs, with greatly enhanced damage and speed, and a very high probability of shaking the opponent's bloodline power, resulting in a double internal and external critical strike.

After activating this ability, all the knights would charge swiftly under the blessing of their bloodlines, stunning the opponent upon impact.

It was by relying on this powerful ability that the Crimson Night Knights were able to slaughter countless beasts, aliens, and monsters when opening up the Thorns River Valley.

Even Knight Orstein didn't dare to face this berserk siege. Under this immense pressure, he finally roared and erupted, stomping his right foot heavily. The ground instantly shattered, like a volcanic eruption, with countless golden lights erupting fiercely, accompanied by various gravels shooting in all directions. This strike was simply earth-shattering.

Even elite knights were sent flying by this massive shockwave.

But the elite knights were also worthy of their elite title. Before the red light dissipated, the elite knights jumped up one after another, the warhammers, sharp swords, sword and shields, and glaives slashing out with cold light, submerging Knight Orstein in the encirclement.
