Chapter 258 What's in Front of Me

Chu Ming looked surprised, "We will leave Feweather tomorrow, and then we will leave Simon Kingdom. Even so, will you go with us?"

Chu Ming welcomed Nathan's idea of ​​joining the mercenary group. After all, with the Deep Blue Knight in charge, the strength of the group can be greatly improved.

But he didn't want Nathan to follow him just because of a momentary impulse, so as to avoid him regretting it later.

Nathan heard the concerns in Chu Ming's tone, and he smiled and said, "Please rest assured, sir, I have had the idea of ​​leaving Feweather a long time ago. I have made up my mind that after passing the first trial, I will leave Simon Kingdom and go to the Atrium to see the world."

"Although I haven't passed the first trial yet, I have changed my mind. I want to follow your footsteps and go to the Atrium together."

Chu Ming was stunned, smiled and shook hands with the man, "Nathan, welcome to join."

...

At night, in the hotel room.

Knock, knock, knock...

Someone knocked on the door. Chu Ming, who was about to sit down, asked, "Who?"

"Mr. Ryan, it's me."

A female voice came from outside.

"Amy, come in."

The door opened, and the front desk girl of the employment guild came in with a wooden basin. Behind her, Irina quietly poked her head out and said with a smile, "Master, I'm here too."

After Amy walked into the room, she picked up the dirty and smelly clothes that Chu Ming had thrown on the ground and put them in the wooden basin. Next, she would wash and dry the clothes at night.

"Sorry for the trouble."

Chu Ming thanked the girl and watched her and Irina leave the room.

He had been busy with training these days, so he left Irina to Amy's care. Now it seems that the two of them seem to get along very well.

Chu Ming sat back in the chair and suddenly remembered that Amy had said that her mother had a root cause of illness during her escape. Although Miguel had taken the old lady to the church to seek treatment from the priest, the effect of the treatment did not seem to be very good. The pain was reduced, but the root cause of the disease was still there.

He looked at the lines on his palm and pondered, "The third-level spell Savage Growth is very effective for treating wounds and other superficial injuries, but it has almost no effect on difficult and complicated diseases."

"But if I have received the healing spell blessed by 'life', it might be able to play some effect. I will try it tomorrow."

After thinking for a while, Chu Ming put his attention back to his body.

After he passed the first trial, the gift from the gods suddenly appeared in his spiritual sea. It was not until now that Chu Ming had time to explore the extra blood-colored light ball in his spiritual sea.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, and his spirit slowly probed towards the blood-colored light ball.

Wow! !

The blood-colored light ball suddenly burst into thousands of lights and penetrated into Chu Ming's spiritual sea.

Immediately afterwards, he felt that a restraint that bound his blood vessels in his body collapsed, and his blood rushed like thunder, the sound of his heartbeat came out of his body, and the speed of blood circulation instantly increased several times.

After a long time, Chu Ming slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"I didn't expect the gift from the gods to be so generous. It actually allowed my knight talent to break through from the low level to the medium level, reaching the point where I can be promoted to the epic level without any obstacles."

"Now I only need the epic knight inheritance to break through to the epic level."

After thinking for a while, Chu Ming turned his attention back to the trial. After he completed the first trial, the content of the second trial also appeared.

"Second trial: defeat the epic."

Chu Ming frowned slightly, "Is the second trial alone so difficult? No wonder Nathan said that there is only one knight in the entire Simon Kingdom who has reached the third trial. Challenging the epic with deep blue power is almost impossible for ordinary knights."

For him, this second trial is not difficult. The difficult part is how he can find the epic knight in this strange kingdom and persuade the knight to duel with him.

"Don't count on Nathan. It seems that I have to go back to Clinton Kingdom to make plans."

Nathan was originally from a village near Feweather. He relied on his own efforts to step by step to the deep blue level. He had no contact with the epic knight at all. It was unrealistic to ask him to help invite the epic knight to fight.

Chu Ming's apparent strength was also at the deep blue level, and he was not taken seriously by the epic knights, let alone invited.

"But according to the current speed of the carriage team, it will take about four months to reach Clinton Kingdom, which is almost there..."

Chu Ming turned his attention to the mercenary group because he could not continue his own trial.

According to Nathan, the conditions for participating in the God of War Trial are very simple. Only the extraordinary profession is limited to knights, and there are no other requirements.

There are no other extraordinary people in Chu Ming's group, but there are a lot of knights.

In addition to him, Miguel, and Nathan who just joined the group, the number of knights in the entire mercenary group has reached 46, of which 12 are at the deep green level, and the rest are green.

Although these knights are a little less comprehension, they are diligent enough. Under Chu Ming's guidance, their strength is steadily increasing every day.

But he was not satisfied with this. Compared with comprehension, what these knights really lacked was knight talent. Most of their knight talents were inferior. It was normal for the knight level to be stuck at dark green. If nothing unexpected happened, these knights would be like this in their lives. Maybe someone among them would suddenly have a flash of inspiration or have a fortuitous encounter and break through to the blue level or the deep blue level, but the probability was too small. Only one knight would break through the limit among a hundred knights.

If these knights can be allowed to participate in the God of War trial, Chu Ming is sure to help them pass the first trial through teaching, obtain gifts from the gods, and improve their own talents.

As long as they upgrade their talents from inferior to inferior and cooperate with Chu Ming's guidance, the strength of the entire mercenary group will usher in a qualitative leap.

"Judging from the current situation, the God of War Trial is of no harm to the knights. It does seem to be the style of the God of War. Perhaps it is just a coincidence that the God of War Trial and the appearance of the sacred tree skeleton of Pashi are close to each other. Or maybe it is the Holy Spirit. What conditions were triggered by the tree incident that led to the return of the trial left behind by God of War.”

"But no matter what, the God of War trial is good for humans and the creatures on the mainland. It seems that the power of knights on the mainland will usher in a leap during this period."

…

Early the next morning, after Nathan, carrying large and small bags, found the hotel, the carriage team set off and continued its journey south.

In the carriage, Chu Ming was surrounded by Amy and Irina. Green light bloomed in his hand, wrapping the woman in front of him in holy light.

Under Amy's nervous gaze, the green light slowly penetrated into the woman's body, and traces of black threads floated out of her body. The woman's painful expression softened a lot.

After a while, Chu Ming let go of the woman's hand, and the green light slowly faded away.

Amy hurried forward and supported the woman, "Mom, how are you feeling?"

The woman was in a trance. After she felt that the burning pain in her body had disappeared, she smiled and said, "It seems to be better."

After hearing this, the girl shed tears of joy. She stood up and bowed deeply to Chu Ming to thank him.

Chu Ming waved his hand, "What troubles Ms. Halima is not any incurable disease, it's just some dark aura that invades her body."

"Although the dark aura has been expelled by me, some old problems in her body are still there, and her body still needs rest and maintenance."

"Thank you, I will let mom have a good rest."

"Well, tell me if anything happens."

After Chu Ming finished speaking, he left Irina in the carriage. He stepped out of the carriage and called to stop the carriage team that was still on its way.

It was already noon, and the scorching sun was high above everyone's heads, making people sweat all over their bodies and their mouths were dry.

After Chu Ming stopped the carriage team, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and parked the carriage under the shade of a tree.

Chu Ming said to Miguel at the front of the team: "Gather all the knights and follow me."

After saying that, he walked into the woods and found a shady clearing.

After a while, Miguel and Nathan came to Chu Ming with dozens of knights. Their eyes were anxious and somewhat expectant, waiting for Chu Ming to speak.

"sit down."

Chu Ming's faint words sounded, and the knights faced each other and sat down on the ground.

"Nathan, come up front and tell them what the God of War Trial is."

The fox knight looked confused. Although he didn't know what Chu Ming wanted to do, he still sat next to Chu Ming and told the knights what the God of War trial was.

After the knights heard that they could obtain mythical power through the God of War trial, they had no reaction, but became more confused.

The so-called God of War Trial sounds very powerful, but what does it have to do with these little knights?

Even Miguel was a little confused, but he didn't show his emotions on his face.

After Nathan finished speaking, Chu Ming glanced at the knights of the regiment who had no reaction, and slowly said: "There are six trials in the God of War trial. Each time you pass one trial, you can get a gift from the god. What are my expectations for you?" Everyone has to pass the first test.”

"What?!"

There were bursts of exclamations from the knights, and they all had troubled looks on their faces.

The strength of these knights is mediocre to begin with, and it is still too difficult for them to pass the first trial. None of these knights are sure to surpass the challenge.

Miguel couldn't help but whispered at this time: "Mr. Renn, these brothers of mine are usually diligent in training, but their strength improvement is limited. You see these in your eyes and let them pass the first trial." It won’t be too difficult.”

Nathan on the side couldn't help but nodded and said: "Brother Miguel is right. I'm not exaggerating. People like me don't have much confidence in passing the first trial. Let them challenge the first trial." It’s still too difficult.”

Chu Ming listened to everyone's opinions and nodded, "I understand your concerns and understand your feelings."

"But I want to ask, when you were young, who among you didn't have the dream of becoming an epic knight or even a legendary knight?"

When the knights heard this, they lowered their heads in silence. One knight raised his hand and sighed:

"Sir Ren, I used to be young, energetic and ignorant. I once aimed to become a powerful knight. However, after I left my hometown with the expectations of the whole village and encountered obstacles everywhere, I realized how talented I was as a knight. Oops, my dream is so ridiculous, I have now accepted the reality and my mediocre self.”

"I really can't pass the first trial."

Chu Ming's expression remained unchanged and he looked at the other knights, "What about you?"

The knights looked at each other, sighed and shook their heads, the meaning was self-evident.

Chu Ming looked at the dejected knights and suddenly laughed, "I can understand if you don't believe in yourself."

"However, please believe me and give yourself a chance to realize your ideals."

With that said, Chu Ming stood up and looked at the fox knight, "Nason is watching, please tell them how strong this power is."

"ah?"

Nathan showed doubt on his face. Before he could react, Chu Ming turned around and walked a few steps closer to the woods in front of the knights.

Chu Ming asked without looking back: "Can anyone tell me what is in front of me?"

The knights were silent for a while, and then whispered and discussed Chu Ming's question. After a while, knights raised their hands to answer Chu Ming's question. Some said that there was a forest in front of him, while others said it was trees and weeds...

Chu Ming listened to everyone's answers quietly and replied indifferently: "Wrong, all wrong, there is nothing in front of me."

After that, he clenched his hands and a trace of electric light shot out from his body.

Chu Ming shouted in a low voice, and suddenly the sky and the earth changed color. A light red field expanded from his body in an instant, covering all the knights and the woods in front of him in a bloody world.

In the horrified eyes of the knights, the purple magic pattern on Chu Ming's body bloomed with a deep and mysterious light, and the breath of destruction gathered from his hands. Clouds and thunder lingered around his body, and thick arcs of electricity expanded violently, forming a thunder field.

In the domain, thunder raged, and Chu Ming's surroundings turned into a scorched earth.

Rumble... In the eyes of everyone, the roaring and dancing thunder gradually condensed into Chu Ming's hands, turning into a giant thunder sword.

Nathan was horrified and couldn't help but step back a few steps. He said in disbelief: "This... This is not... Deep Blue!"

"No, this is Deep Blue."

Chu Ming replied to Nathan lightly, and the magic pattern on his body became hotter and hotter. Suddenly, sparks flashed, and golden red flames rose from his body, dyeing the Thunder Sword with a touch of golden red.

Nathan opened his mouth and couldn't speak.

In his perception, the terrible destructive aura on Chu Ming's body actually rose again, which made him feel scared.

Chu Ming stood in front of everyone. He moved slightly, and his body muscles instantly swelled.

"Watch it!"

Chu Ming's eyes suddenly glared, and the long sword in his hand swung out!

In an instant, the entire forest suddenly stopped in everyone's eyes. The breeze disappeared, the leaves stopped fluttering, the chirping of birds also disappeared in everyone's ears, and the whole world was terribly dead silent.

Suddenly, the lightning flashed, and the next second, everyone broke away from the suffocating dead world and witnessed the angry thunder falling towards the forest with their own eyes.

Boom! ! !

The lightning snakes danced wildly, and the trees exploded.

In the path of the thunder giant sword that was almost condensed into substance, the trees and grass were completely torn apart by a destructive force and turned into charred ash. The powerful force fell to the ground, and a straight pit spread from in front of Chu Ming to the distance.

The thunder roared continuously, and the dazzling lightning blocked the knights' vision, but they were shocked by the destructive power in front of them, and even if their eyes felt stinging, they could not move their eyes away.

Purple lightning flashed in the eyes of every knight. They looked at Chu Ming's back standing in front of the thunder, and felt that a desire that they had long abandoned surged again in their hearts, and their calm hearts were stirred up.

Half a minute later, the lightning gradually dissipated, and the whole world returned to its normal color from purple, and Chu Ming's figure also appeared in the lightning.

In front of Chu Ming, the original trees, bushes, and weeds all disappeared, leaving only charcoal on the ground, and everyone's vision was opened up.

Chu Ming turned around and asked calmly, "I'll ask again, what's in front of me?"

The knights opened their mouths, and one of them whispered, "Nothing."

The knight's voice resonated with everyone, and the other knights whispered, "Nothing."

Chu Ming said calmly, "Speak louder, didn't you eat?"

Hearing this, the knights raised their heads and shouted, "Replying to Lord Ryan, there is nothing!"

"Very good."

Chu Ming shifted his gaze and looked at the fox knight, "Nathan, tell them what level of power that was just now."

The man swallowed Swallowing his saliva, as if to relieve his dry throat, he said hoarsely: "It's epic."

Chu Ming nodded, "Tell them what level I am at."

Nathan lowered his head and whispered: "Deep blue."

Chu Ming looked at the knights, "Do you understand? This is the power I have, the captain, and it is also the power I can give you."

"I don't need your questions about the first trial. I just need you to trust me unconditionally and give yourself a chance."

"Yes, Captain Ryan!"

The knights shouted in unison, and their eyes became a little firmer.

Chu Ming smiled and said: "Maybe you don't dare to believe it now, but one day, you will reach epic, even legendary, and become a knight group famous throughout the continent."

"But the premise of all this is to trust me, trust yourself, and pass the first trial."

"Step by step, follow my footsteps and keep moving forward."

After saying what he had to say, Chu Ming sat down cross-legged and took out the notes he had prepared from his knight's uniform.

He held up the notebook and said, "The epic knight secret excerpted in this notebook is called the Fiery Sun Secret, which comes from the distant northern empire."

"Whatever secret you practiced before, forget it now. From today on, you are all Fiery Sun Knights. I hope you will not live up to the name of Fiery Sun."

After speaking, Chu Ming handed the secret to Miguel.

The man took the notebook with trembling hands, his face full of excitement.

Chu Ming continued: "You can ask me any questions you have about cultivation. I will make sure you all pass the first trial before reaching Clinton Kingdom."

After these words came out, unlike before, no knight objected. Everyone clenched their fists, and their eyes showed some expectations.
