Chapter 15 - Martial Arts

"Did anything happen these two days while I was not here?"

While waiting for others to come out, Luis questioned Arthur.

"No, not much happened. A knight squad found a small iron mine while patrolling the barony."

"A small iron mine? That's great! The family's income will increase a little now."

Luis smiled. The barony is located in northern wasteland. The land here is full of wilderness, with a lot of opportunity and danger coexisting.

In this northern wilderness, there are some tribes of orcs deeper into the forests. This is totally an undeveloped land that the kingdom wants to develop for the past 120 years.

"Any enemies near the border?"

"Haha, you're always so cautious. In this wilderness, who doesn't know the reputation of black cavalry?" Arthur laughed and said with pride

"Enemies are afraid of us. Everyone knows the reputation of the Hartmann family. As long as we breathe, we attack."

Luis relaxed a little hearing this. Since he transmigrated into this world. The Hartmann family has been an umbrella for him. Any attempts from enemies to invade had been crushed before they could even step foot in the territory. 

He then turned to Ruben and began talking, learning about all the things that happened in the territory.

As they talked, a few minutes passed, and everyone who entered inside the private room began to walk out.

Those who walked out began to recite the oath, kneeling towards Luis and more connection began to form in his vortex.

'Now with the help of these people, I can start my own conquest in the cultivation world.'

Looking at the kneeling people, he couldn't help but be proud.

After a few more minutes, everyone gathered together. Among the 10 people who got out later, 2 more broke through to the realm of apprentice knight, and others were also close to awakening the life seed.

Luis has arranged the realms between two worlds for easy remembrance. Apprentice Knight is equal to the late stage of body training. 1st level knight is equal to innate masters. Further, he needs more information and doesn't know about anything.

Looking at the determined faces of his group, Luis nodded with satisfaction.

"Everyone, now it is time for next thing," Luis shouted, stopping the excited murmur of everyone. "Follow me."

With that said, everyone followed Luis. Arthur jogged forward to walk beside him.

"Luis, where is Pipi? Why don't I see her?"

"She is in Ferterra Town with Liam. She is planting the herbs that are used to make the medicine you just used."

Arthur hearing this nodded thoughtfully.

"Is this medicine made by our pharmacist?"

"Not yet, but they will soon learn it. Then this medicine will soon be supplied to everyone."

Finally hearing what he wanted, Arthur became excited. He ran back towards everyone in the back to share the news.

Everyone began cheering loudly as Arthur shared the news, their steps becoming quick. Now, with this medicine, there will be a lot more knights in the family, and no one can stop the Hartmann family from becoming stronger.

Their excitement was so loud that people on the streets began to glance their way. But seeing that it was a Hartmann Family knight, they simply smiled and returned to their business.

The Hartmann Baron had always been seen as protectors. The Hartmann family is their protectors. Almost all the people in this land were previously slaves.

They were bought by Luis's grandfather and father and brought to this land. According to usual rules, once you become a slave, it will be the same for your whole lifetime, and even your children will be slaves.

However, In Hartmann Baron this rule is not followed. If you work hard enough and dedicate yourself to the barony, you can redeem yourself and become a free citizen of Hartmann.

This move has won the hearts of all people in Hartmann Barony, and they work with genuine dedication for the Hartmann family.

After dozens of minutes of walking rapidly, Luis and the group finally reached the private ground.

"Everyone, listen carefully now," Luis expression became serious.

"I am going to teach you something totally different from knight breathing. It is something that can be practiced alongside the knight breathing, and it will increase your potential greatly."

Luis shouted, making the atmosphere exciting.

"Are you ready to learn it?"

"yes" x12

"I can't hear you! Did you not eat properly? Louder!"

"YES" x12

Everyone was really excited hearing Luis. They couldn't wait to practice this new thing, which could increase their potential.

Luis grinned and threw a book towards Arthur. Arthur caught it and began looking inside. There was something written in unknown language with a picture of the body with thin lines drawn in it. The body was moving in different postures.

"Luis, what's this? What does it say?" Arthur asked, scratching his head in confusion.

Luis face froze when he heard this. He hadn't really considered this. He knows the language of the cultivation world due to the memory provided by Vortex when traveling for the first time. It seems they needed to be taken to another world for the understanding of language.

"Don't worry about it," Luis said with a serious face. He will not say to others that it was his silly mistake.

"I will demonstrate it to you. You all will watch and follow me."

Everyone nodded hearing this. Although they were confused, they couldn't wait to see and practice the new thing.

"What I am going to teach you is called martial arts. It's a practice that develops the body using blood to eventually produce something called qi. This is different from the life seed we cultivate, which produces aura."

Luis began demonstrating the movement as he moved his body in different postures, explaining everything slowly.

Luis finished one set of practice and looked at everyone. As expected, their expression was full of confusion. They were born in a western fantasy world with no concept of foreign martial arts or anything and hearing this for the first time. It completely went over their heads.
