Chapter 176: Formation of the Royal Knights!

The entire conference hall was silent.

David stood in the center of the conference hall, his figure like an iceberg, exuding a chilling aura.

King Liuhuo and the Saint fell to the ground, their strength seemed so insignificant under David's absolute suppression.

David's eyes swept over the nobles, everyone's faces were full of shock and fear, no one dared to stand up and challenge his authority at this time.

Finally, his eyes fell on King Liuhuo, and his voice echoed in the conference hall: "King Liuhuo, you lose."

King Liuhuo struggled to stand up, his eyes were full of shock, the reality was in front of him, he had no ability to resist in front of the Frost Wolf Duke, the gap between the two was really too big!

"Frost Wolf Duke, have you really broken through the eighth level?" He trembled.

Such a terrifying gap in strength, they are no longer at the same level, only in this way can the terrifying power of the Frost Wolf Duke be explained.

"That's right."

David admitted it openly.

The moment David frankly admitted that he had broken through to the eighth level, the atmosphere in the entire conference hall seemed to solidify.

All eyes were focused on him. The nobles had different expressions, but without exception, they all showed deep shock and fear.

King Liuhuo's trembling was not only because of his physical injuries, but also because of the shock deep in his heart.

He realized that the gap between him and the Frost Wolf Duke had become insurmountable, and at the same time he thought of the rumors about the Frost Wolf Duke.

The nobles exchanged glances with each other, their hearts full of awe and uneasiness.

The strength of the Frost Wolf Duke had exceeded their imagination. The existence of the eighth level was extremely rare in this world. Every eighth-level strongman had the power to change the fate of a country.

For them, the breakthrough of the Frost Wolf Duke was not only the growth of a person, but also the ceiling of the Sky Knight was pierced!

The atmosphere in the meeting hall became tense and solemn, and no one dared to act rashly at this time.

They all knew that any behavior that challenged the Frost Wolf Duke could lead to devastating consequences.

David stood there, like an insurmountable mountain, and his presence made everyone feel an invisible pressure.

A trace of unwillingness flashed in King Liuhuo's eyes, but it was soon replaced by reason.

He knew that now was not the time for a head-on confrontation. What he needed was time to think about how to deal with this powerful opponent who had suddenly risen.

Others in the meeting hall also fell into deep thought. They needed to re-evaluate their positions and strategies to deal with this new power structure.

David looked around and finally fell on the equally shocked saint.

Although the envoy representing the Holy Light Church remained calm, his eyes revealed a hint of shock and vigilance that was difficult to conceal.

The Holy Light Church is an ancient force in this world, with a deep foundation and powerful strength.

Even though David has broken through to the eighth level, he dare not underestimate such a behemoth.

He knew that the true power of the Holy Light Church far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people, and they had many hidden means and secrets.

David took a deep breath. He knew that although he was powerful, he still needed to act cautiously.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall was still tense, but David had made up his mind. He spoke slowly, with a hint of unquestionable firmness in his voice: "Saint Tu, I think there needs to be an in-depth exchange between the royal power and the divine power."

The saint was slightly stunned, and then regained his composure.

He knew what the words of the Duke of Frost Wolf meant. This was not just a simple conversation, but more likely a contest and test of the power of both sides.

He nodded, his voice calm and powerful: "Duke Frost Wolf, I will take your words back to the headquarters of the Holy Light Church and look forward to communicating with you."

The conversation between David and the saint attracted everyone's attention. They all knew that this might be the prelude to a storm.

The nobles had their own calculations in their hearts. They knew that in this game of power, they needed to choose their own positions, otherwise they might be swallowed by the storm.

The heart of King Liuhuo was even more complicated. He knew that he needed to re-evaluate the situation and find new allies to maintain his position.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall became subtle, and everyone was thinking about their next step until the saint left the meeting hall in embarrassment.

David kept his eyes on the saint. Although he wanted to kill him on the spot, he had not yet completely torn his face with the church.

This kind of dirty work still needs his wizard vest to do.

Then, he looked at the uncertain King Liuhuo and the rules, and continued: "Now, I give you a choice, surrender to me, or..."

He didn't finish, but the threat was self-evident.

King Liuhuo clenched his fists. He knew that if he refused, it might cause more bloodshed and even lead to unrest in the entire kingdom.

He looked around, and the nobles were waiting for his decision. There was both expectation and worry in their eyes.

The Frost Wolf Duke had actually broken through to the eighth level. If so, it meant that the news about the road to the eighth level from the Frost Wolf Duke's mouth was also true!

This was absolutely something that no knight could refuse. Even King Liuhuo was shaken in his heart. Surrendering could not only save his life, but also have a bright future.

Finally, King Liuhuo lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I... surrender."

There was silence in the meeting hall. Although the nobles thought that the king would surrender, at this moment, they still showed extremely complicated expressions in their hearts.

David nodded and directly took out the loyalty contract for the nobles present to sign. As for the Flowing Fire King, he naturally still relied on the soul of the contract.

Then, he faced the nobles and said solemnly: "From today on, I will protect this kingdom, and any force that opposes me will be destroyed."

The nobles lowered their heads, knowing what David's words meant.

From then on, Duke Frostwolf will become the real power of this kingdom, and King Flowing Fire, although he is still the king in name, has actually lost his power.

David said nothing more and asked these nobles to leave first.

Later, he directly used the Contract Soul on King Liuhuo to make him his loyal slave. Thanks to the breakthrough of his Contract Soul, the contract he signed through the Contract Soul will no longer damage the soul.

It didn't take long.

What happened to the Fire King began to spread.

Duke Frostwolf actually came to the Kingdom of Flowing Fire alone and easily defeated the combined efforts of King Flowing Fire and the Saint, two seventh-level powerhouses, which shocked everyone.

At this moment, the knights who were still a little skeptical at first finally believed that Duke Frostwolf had indeed broken through to the eighth level and mastered the road to the eighth level.

Afterwards, those seventh-level knights and sixth-level peak knights began to gather towards Frostwolf Ridge, hoping to get guidance from Duke Frostwolf.

Duke Frostwolf proved with his strength that he not only mastered the path to the eighth level, but also stood at the pinnacle of this field.

After the news spread, Frostwolf Ridge became a holy place for all knights on the continent who longed for a breakthrough.

Around Frostwolf Ridge, the originally peaceful forests and mountains have now become bustling with activity.

Knights from different countries and regions, wearing various armors and carrying their own weapons, gathered here.

Among them are young knights, full of passion and dreams, and there are older knights who hope to go further in their lifetime.

David did not reject these knights who came seeking guidance.

Afterwards, he directly established an organization called the Royal Knights. All seventh-level knights and sixth-level peak knights on the mainland can join the Knights.

Soon, the first batch of five seventh-level knights came to Frostwolf Ridge.

They were still hesitant about David's strength.

David stood on the top of Frostwolf Ridge, overlooking the five seventh-level knights who came to challenge.

His eyes shone with confidence, and he knew that although these five knights were all leaders in their respective fields, there was still an insurmountable gap between them and himself.

David's body is blessed by the eighth-level power, and every inch of muscle contains explosive power. His speed, strength, and reaction ability are far beyond the scope of the seventh-level.

With an order, the battle began.

The five knights launched an attack at the same time, their weapons flashing coldly in the sun, and each performed their own special skills, trying to suppress David with their numerical advantage.

However, David just smiled softly. His body shuttled through the gaps of attacks like a ghost. Every move was extremely precise, and every shot was just right.

David didn't use any weapons. He easily received all the attacks with just a pair of fleshy palms.

His movements don't seem to be fast, but he can always accurately find the opponent's weaknesses.

Every punch and kick contains the essence of the eighth-level power, and every attack makes the opponent feel as heavy as a mountain.

Soon the outcome of the battle became apparent.

The five seventh-level knights were defeated by David one by one. They either fell to the ground or knelt on one knee, breathing heavily, with disbelief in their eyes.

They never thought that the gap between themselves and the eighth level would be so huge.

David stood in the center, like an insurmountable mountain, and his figure looked particularly tall in the sun.

"Is this the power of the eighth level?"

A knight muttered, his voice full of shock and admiration.

David smiled slightly, walked up to the knight, stretched out his hand to help him up.

"The eighth level is not only the improvement of strength, but more importantly, the understanding and application of power." David said, "You are all excellent knights. As long as you continue to practice, you will one day reach this level."

The five knights nodded one after another, and the hesitation in their hearts had been completely eliminated by David's strength.

They began to believe that David was indeed a true eighth-level powerhouse, and Frostwolf Ridge was indeed a place where they could grow.

Subsequently, five seventh-level powerful men announced that they had joined the Royal Knights. Together with King Liuhuo, there was one eighth-level knight and six seventh-level knights.

As the news of five seventh-level strong men joining the Royal Knights quickly spread throughout the continent, the leaders and strong men of other forces were all shocked.

They knew that the newly established organization of the Royal Knights had instantly become one of the most powerful organizations on the continent.

David, an eighth-level knight, and the addition of five seventh-level strong men have raised the overall strength of the Royal Knights to a whole new level!

Moreover, the seventh-level knight itself represents a kingdom or a powerful force, which quietly changes the balance of power on the continent.

The major forces began to re-evaluate their positions and strategies, and some forces that were originally hostile to Duke Frostwolf also began to consider whether they should change their attitudes.

Especially for the Holy Light Church, the Frost Wolf Duke has publicly expressed his attitude of upholding the royal power. The Royal Knights themselves can also be regarded as the strongest force in supporting the royal power, and can completely compete with the Holy Light Church!

…

Silver Moon Kingdom.

The headquarters of the Royal Knights.

David held a celebration banquet for the newly joined seventh-level strongmen.

Of course, for these seventh-level knights, what they want most is the road to the eighth level, and they even signed a contract for this.

This contract was established by David for the Royal Knights. The most important one is naturally to stipulate the responsibility of the Royal Knights to protect the royal power.

They also signed the contract when they saw that there was no problem with the contract.

"Now, I will announce the road to the eighth level." David smiled.

Then, he directly took out the meditation method of the body refining wizard and handed it to these seventh-level knights in the field, asking them to check it.

"Body refining... wizard!"

After seeing the information in the field clearly, everyone's eyes were instantly shocked.

Obviously, no one would have thought that the knight would be related to the wizard!

David's smile was full of mystery. He knew how much shock the seventh-level knights present would have with this meditation method for body-refining wizards.

The seventh-level knights present were just confused at first, but when they began to read this meditation method carefully, their expressions gradually changed from surprise to shock.

This meditation method is not only a way to practice witchcraft, but also a unique practice system that combines witchcraft with body-refining.

This practice method allows the practitioner to enhance both physical strength and spiritual strength, thus reaching a new realm.

They realized that this was not just a new practice method, but it might really be a new path that could lead the knight to the eighth level.

In traditional concepts, knights and wizards are two completely different professions, one focusing on physical strength and the other focusing on spiritual strength.

But this meditation method breaks this boundary and provides a possibility of integrating the two.

"How... how is this possible?"

A seventh-level knight muttered to himself, with an incredible light in his eyes.

David smiled slightly. He did not answer directly, but said: "This is what I got during an adventure. I believe it will help all of us."

"There should not be only one path for a knight. We should be brave enough to explore new possibilities."

The knights began to discuss heatedly.

Although this is a wizard inheritance, it is impossible for those who can become seventh-level knights to believe in the doctrines of the Holy Light Church.

For them, whether it is a knight or a wizard, as long as it can help them improve their strength, they will try it!

Now, they are full of interest in this meditation method for body-refining wizards.

They know that if they can master this method of cultivation, they can not only improve their strength, but may even break through the bottleneck of the seventh level and reach the legendary eighth level.

David looked at the reactions of the knights and felt very satisfied.

He also believed that with this meditation method for body-refining wizards, the Royal Knights will become more powerful, and this is also an opportunity to change the inherent concept of wizards in the Bright Continent. After all, even seventh-level knights have become wizards!

Next, more knights will join the Royal Knights and begin to train as body-refining wizards, thus becoming body-refining wizards!

With the spread of the meditation method of the body-refining wizard, the knights will surely begin to gradually accept and integrate into the world of wizards, and completely shatter the teachings of the Holy Light Church!

The church has always regarded witchcraft as a taboo, believing that it is the temptation of the devil and a blasphemy against God.

When they learned that the knights were actually practicing witchcraft, anger and panic would surely spread among the high-level officials of the church.

They would certainly worry that such behavior would shake the authority of the church and even threaten their dominance.

Therefore, the Holy Light Church would definitely ask the knights to give up practicing witchcraft and return to orthodox beliefs.

But the knights have tasted the power and freedom brought by witchcraft, how could they be willing to give up this new path.

But David knew that this was just the beginning.

The church would not easily give up the fight against witchcraft, and he knew that he had to be prepared to meet the coming storm.

But as long as these knights want to continue on the path of knights, they will be forced to stand on the side of the wizards and fight against the church together!

And the largest number of people on the Bright Continent are knights. If all knights stand on the side of wizards, the faith of the God of Holy Light will be completely subverted!

"Captain, can fighting spirit really be transformed into the spiritual power of a wizard?" A seventh-level knight spoke in a deep voice, still with a hint of hesitation in his voice.

David stared at the seventh-level knight and said seriously: "Yes, I have proved this."

He said slowly, with unquestionable confidence in his voice.

"Although fighting spirit and spiritual power seem to be completely different, they both come from our inner strength. As long as we find the right way, we can achieve this transformation."

The knights exchanged surprised and curious looks with each other. Most of them have devoted their lives to the practice of fighting spirit. They know little about the world of wizards and even have prejudices.

But David's discovery undoubtedly opened a new door for them.

"Captain, if this is true, it will mean that we can have two powers." Another knight said excitedly, "This will greatly enhance our combat effectiveness, and may even change the power structure of the entire Bright Continent!"

David nodded, knowing that this was not just an increase in strength, but also a change in thoughts and beliefs.

"Yes, but this is not just for strength. We need to unite to fight the coming storm and to protect those wizards who are being persecuted for no reason by the church. After all... we will eventually become wizards!"

The knights fell into silence, knowing what the leader's words meant.

This means that they will embark on a journey full of unknowns and dangers, it means that they will challenge a deep-rooted belief system, and it means that they may become rebels who are hunted down by the entire Bright Continent.

But even so, they knew this was the right path.

They are knights who fight for justice, and their swords will be wielded by those who cannot defend themselves.

"Captain, we are willing to follow you."

One knight said firmly, his voice breaking the silence, and the other knights nodded in agreement.

"So, let's get started."

David said, determination shining in his eyes.

"For the future of the Bright Continent and for the glory of our knights, we will fight side by side until the end."

As David's words fell, the knights stood up one after another. They will become a new force on the Bright Continent, fighting for freedom and justice!

…

What happened next was easier than David expected.

These knights who can break through the seventh level all have extremely high reputations on the Bright Continent and are regarded as legendary beings.

As they announced their joining the Royal Knights, a storm instantly set off across the continent.

Although seventh-level knights are still a minority on the mainland, more sixth-level knights are heading to Silver Moon Continent in an attempt to join the Royal Knights.

David also lowered the recruitment threshold for the Royal Knights to the sixth level of knights.

He began to establish a strict selection system to ensure that the newly added sixth-level knights not only met the requirements in terms of strength, but also met the standards in terms of moral character and loyalty.

Next, he will form the Knights of the Round Table with those seventh-order knights, which will be regarded as the management of the Royal Knights.

These sixth-level knights are the cornerstone of the Royal Knights.

The body refining wizard meditation method can help transform fighting spirit into gaseous spiritual power.

Today's seventh-level knights basically rely on the foundation of their respective kingdoms to achieve complete breakthroughs.

Of course, the most powerful power of the seventh-level sky knight is the realm of unity between heaven and man, which is beyond the control of the body-refining wizard.

For ordinary sixth-level knights, the body-refining wizard meditation method can be used as a way to break through the seventh-level knights.

besides.

David also began to collect materials for the blood fountain potion in the wizarding world.

The most important material for the blood fountain potion is the original blood of extraordinary monsters, and other materials are not difficult to find.

Later, in Ye Zi's hands, bottles of blood spring potions were made.

After those sixth-level knights turned to the physical wizard meditation method and relied on the blood fountain potion, their strength began to grow rapidly.

Of course, if these sixth-level knights want to obtain the blood fountain potion, they must exchange enough resources.

The Royal Knights have also established a series of task systems for this purpose. As long as the corresponding tasks are completed, internal resources can be exchanged.

Everything started to move in the direction David expected.
