Chapter 119 - 112: Potential Legendary, Nationwide Shock

Chapter 119: Chapter 112: Potential Legendary, Nationwide Shock

"Let’s have breakfast first. We can talk about everything else later."

Tony sighed helplessly and nodded.

Soon, they arrived at the dining room.

Not long after they sat down, maids immediately served a steaming hot breakfast.

While they were enjoying breakfast, the news that Roy had fought and killed five Black Iron Great Knights by himself last night spread throughout Redwood City at an astonishing speed.

Just as Roy had expected, as soon as the news got out, many people immediately began to suspect that he was already a Great Knight.

In addition, even more people wanted to become the Dark Night Knight’s disciples.

Of course, there were inevitably some who speculated that he himself was the Dark Night Knight.

However, the people who proposed this theory quickly became a laughingstock.

This was because when the Dark Night Knight was active in Redwood City as a Bounty Hunter, Roy was the archetypal good-for-nothing within the noble circles of Yorkshire. Many noble families even used him as a cautionary tale to encourage their own children to work hard on their Cultivation Breathing Technique.

It could be said that before his coming-of-age ceremony, it wasn’t just the other nobles of Yorkshire who treated him as a joke.

Even many commoners saw him as an unmotivated, ambitionless waste and a bookworm.

As the son of a noble, it was one thing that he didn’t bully people or live a life of debauchery, but he was even unwilling to cultivate his family’s hereditary Breathing Technique.

There was another very important reason why people didn’t believe Roy was the Dark Night Knight.

He was just too young.

He was only 18 years old.

An 18-year-old Bronze Great Knight... let alone the Laine Kingdom, not even the Sal Empire had ever seen one.

Even looking across the entire continent, since the birth of Knights who cultivate Breathing Techniques, the number of people who could become a Bronze Great Knight at 18 could be counted on one hand.

To be precise, there had only been three.

And these three heaven-blessed prodigies, who advanced to Bronze Great Knight at the age of 18, all went on to become Legendary Knights without exception.

In other words, if Roy were the Dark Night Knight, it would mean he was also a peerless genius, the likes of which appeared only once in several hundred years—a potential Legendary Knight.

People could accept that he was a cultivation genius, but they couldn’t accept that he was a potential Legendary Knight.

It was just like the saying goes.

"You’re afraid your brother is suffering, but you’re also afraid he’s driving a Land Rover!"

Forget the general public finding it hard to accept he could be a potential Legendary Knight; even Tony, who doted on his little brother and cultivated the Ice Wolf King Breathing Method, didn’t dare to think of Roy as a potential Legendary Knight.

In thousands of years of history, only 12 Legendary Knights had ever appeared. They weren’t a dime a dozen!

After breakfast, Roy didn’t return to Ice Wolf Castle with Tony. Instead, he planned to continue staying at Rock Lion Castle for a while longer.

Tony didn’t say anything about this decision, only telling him to rest and recover, and that if he had any problems, he should find the Dark Night Knight and not try to be a hero.

After Tony left, Roy didn’t return to Catherine’s bedroom to go back to sleep. Instead, he went to the Cultivation Room located in the basement of the main building.

After closing the door to the Cultivation Room, he didn’t hesitate for a moment. He immediately entered Chaos Square and began cultivating the Bronze Bear Breathing Technique.

Although he didn’t currently have any other Excellent Level Defensive Breathing Techniques, he didn’t mind first cultivating the Bronze Bear Breathing Technique to the Tier Seven Limit to obtain his first Defense-type special effect.

...

「Time flew.」

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

As time went on, the news of Roy killing five Black Iron Great Knights quickly spread throughout the entire Laine Kingdom.

To be more precise, the entire kingdom was shocked.

Not only had he become famous, but his reputation had grown even greater than that of his nominal teacher, the Dark Night Knight.

This was because the Dark Night Knight, when he was at the Peak Knight stage, had never managed to kill a Black Iron Great Knight.

More importantly, he hadn’t killed just one Black Iron Great Knight, but five.

In other words, he had accomplished something even the Dark Night Knight couldn’t do.

Roy wasn’t at all surprised that his fame had surpassed the Dark Night Knight’s.

Because this was exactly the effect he wanted.

In the past, it was always his alter ego, the Dark Night Knight, who stole the show. It was about time he himself got to experience what it felt like to be the man of the hour.

Chaos Square.

Just as he had for the past few days, Roy was focused on cultivating the Bronze Bear Breathing Technique.

A week of cultivation had allowed the Bronze Bear Breathing Technique to smoothly advance to Tier Seven.

Although he was now living at Rock Lion Castle, he still set aside 10 hours every day to cultivate his Breathing Technique.

The only thing that had been affected was his cultivation of the Meditation Technique.

Because he had to "play cards" with Catherine every night, he had temporarily paused his cultivation of the Meditation Technique.

After finishing his morning cultivation, Roy opened the Skill Proficiency Panel to check the progress of his Bronze Bear Breathing Technique.

[Bronze Bear Breathing Technique: Tier Seven (7,382/30,000)]

’Not bad!’

’Just three more days of cultivation and I can grind it to the Tier Seven Limit!’

Roy looked at the Skill Proficiency Panel in front of him with a satisfied expression.

With his cultivation efficiency having increased once again, while maintaining 10 hours of cultivation per day, he now only needed 11 days to grind an Excellent Level Breathing Technique from introduction to the Tier Seven Limit.

Closing the Skill Proficiency Panel, he looked toward the gray fog shrouding the square and checked on the situation in the Cultivation Room.

Although Catherine had strictly forbidden anyone from disturbing him during his cultivation, and he had locked the door of the Cultivation Room from the inside...

...who knew if someone might still sneak in.

As he became more famous, Rock Lion Castle also began to receive many visitors who came specifically to see him.

To be precise, they were nobles from other counties in the Northern Territory.
