Chapter 26 The Vatican's Visitor
Chapter 26 The Vatican's Visitor
Level 9 warriors are easy to upgrade, and Karl never intended to improve their magic talents. After all, with Ernst Magic Academy around, it would be difficult for Karl to attract any high-quality magic students.
Soon, the Wind Shadow Pavilion appeared out of nowhere in Tianfeng County. While the local residents were still amazed that the lord had achieved the Saint Realm, some sharp-eyed people had already begun to come from other places.
After all, the Wind Shadow Pavilion founded by Karl is somewhat different from other Holy Domain forces.
Karl's plan incorporated some ideas from fantasy sects.
Those below level three warriors are considered outer disciples. If they cannot break through from level one to level three warriors within ten years, they will graduate early. However, they are guaranteed to join the territory's security team after graduation, which is considered a good option.
To be able to raise one's strength to the level three warrior in ten years means that one has both talent and diligence, and such a person is qualified to become an inner disciple of the Wind Shadow Pavilion.
Once someone becomes an inner disciple, Karl will unconditionally provide them with maximum cultivation speed enhancement, a long-term benefit designed to maximize their strength.
As for those above the inner disciples, Karl didn't set up any elite disciples; instead, they could directly become Karl's nominal disciples.
Outer disciples are selected by Karl based on their aptitude and diligence, and they have a passive minimum 1% training speed bonus. It would take an ordinary person ten or twenty years to reach the level of a level three warrior, but Karl's Wind Shadow Pavilion does not need ordinary people, but geniuses.
To accomplish in ten years what others take twenty years to achieve—only those with such qualifications have a chance of becoming a level seven warrior.
Only with such talent would Karl provide the maximum training speed boost, allowing them to grow faster. As for being a disciple by name, that is already a great honor.
After all, Fengying Pavilion is just a force established by Saint-level experts. Just like Ernst Academy, at most, the graduates can say that they graduated from Ernst Magic Academy. After graduation, only those who still show genius among a group of geniuses have the possibility of staying at the school, while others can only leave the school. And these people may only remember a few close friends from the same class for the rest of their lives.
However, the Wind Shadow Pavilion is a bit different. As long as you can reach the seventh level of strength, you can become Karl's disciple. This means that you will become a disciple of the controller, and you can become a high-level member of the Wind Shadow Pavilion in the future.
Even after acquiring the status of a disciple, with his level seven strength, he would probably be someone that most level nine experts wouldn't dare to underestimate. That's the weight of a Saint Realm expert.
As for the formal disciples above that level, they all need to be at level nine. This is also Karl's way of positioning the Wind Shadow Pavilion as a high-end force that is independent of his territory.
As long as you become Karl's disciple, Karl will purchase a level nine aptitude enhancement talisman for you. Once you truly enter the level nine sequence, Karl will purchase a Saint-level aptitude enhancement card for you.
Through layers of selection, those with poor talent are eliminated from the outer sect, and those with average aptitude are eliminated from the inner sect. In this way, those who can cultivate to the seventh level of strength are already quite good. If they are given the aptitude of the ninth level at the seventh level, their progress will be even faster.
For the sake of this so-called century-long plan, Karl was willing to pay any price.
Just as the number of people in Tianfeng County was increasing dramatically due to the appearance of Fengying Pavilion, Karl stopped cultivating in his mansion.
The morning sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, and the still-lingering mist made some of the weaker people feel a chill. A few servants couldn't help but shiver as they swept up the fallen leaves.
"You may all leave."
As the courtyard was almost finished being cleaned, Karl's gentle voice rang out, and the servants, whose strength was not even at the level of a first-level warrior, stopped what they were doing and left the courtyard in an orderly manner.
After all the servants had left, Karl looked up at a certain spot in the sky and said calmly, "Guests are always welcome. Since you've come, why not show yourself?"
"Hahaha, they all said you were just a lucky one who broke through to the Saint Realm by sheer chance, but I had high hopes for you. Now that I see you, you are clearly a shrewd and experienced strategist."
A thin, middle-aged man suddenly appeared in the sky, his body shrouded in silvery-white battle aura, and his short hair, enhanced by this battle aura, resembled a sheet of steel needles.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Karl quickly processed some information in his mind and immediately identified the person.
Strömer, one of the five strongest figures in the Holy Land of the Holy Light Church, is also a legendary figure in the Holy Alliance. The number of his biographies could fill a small town.
However, Karl was not worried about such a powerful figure, after all, Strömer became famous relatively late, and only achieved the Saint-level status seven or eight hundred years ago.
If it were the ascetic Luo Ye, Karl would be somewhat afraid of him. But if it were someone else, although Karl's understanding of the profound mysteries was relatively low, he could still put up a fight with his Saint-level physical body.
Seeing that this Saint-level expert named Karl showed no fear in his eyes, and even seemed eager to try, Steller was somewhat puzzled. After all, once one achieves Saint-level status, one should understand the differences between Saint-level experts to some extent.
Without entering the Holy Realm, one sees the peak of the Holy Realm as a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky; once one enters the Holy Realm, one realizes that one is merely floating on the surface, gazing at the blue sky.
The gap between each level of the Holy Realm is greater than the sum of the gaps between a Level 1 Warrior and a Level 9 Warrior, yet this person has a challenging mentality towards himself. Steller couldn't help but cautiously sense this.
As a warrior, Streller's mental strength was naturally not very strong, but as a Saint, even if his mental strength was low, it was still stronger than the vast majority of people in the world.
As Steller sensed the unusual aura surrounding Karl, he was startled.
"You've already reached the peak of the Saint Realm?"
Even his arrogant expression was starting to falter. As a peak Saint Realm expert, he had cultivated for nearly a thousand years before finally comprehending the profound mysteries and reaching the peak of the Saint Realm. His original intention in coming here was simply to take this person in as part of his steward's foundation. However, once it came to the peak of the Saint Realm, it was no longer something he could decide on his own.
"Senior Steller, I was just lucky."
Since the five peak-level Saints of the Holy See believed that their breakthrough to the Saint Realm was a fluke, Karl also replied to Streller that his breakthrough was a fluke.
Upon hearing Karl's reply, Strauss knew that he had botched the job.
But I still haven't given up and want to extend an invitation.
