Chapter 17 - Official Knight

Luis began to observe the changes that had occurred to his body. Concentrating harder, he felt the aura that was produced in his body.

No, it couldn't be said aura anymore. It was mixed and combined with the qi of the innate realm. There was a new combined energy formed in his body.

The qi and aura produced in his body have fully combined perfectly, forming a new kind of vortex of energy within his body. 

'Well, this is a unique energy, so I will just call it Vortex Qi.' 

He then tried to attach the vortex Qi in his body. It could be used for attack and defense, nothing much special. It couldn't be thrown out; you need to at least be a 2nd level Official Knight before you can throw Aura from the body.

As time passed, he slowly began to familiarize himself with and experiment with this force. He has seen in the family record that there is not much aura storage in 1st level Official Knight, and it will be exhausted quickly if used for a long time continuously.

But this was not the case for him; he has been using the vortex qi for almost half an hour, but there was no sign of exhaustion. 

'The combination of qi and aura has increased my energy storage. And... my lifespan is now 150 years,' he thought, a smile tugging at his lips.

The strength increase is not the most important; the most important thing for a 1st level knight is lifespan. 1st level knights have a lifespan of 150 years.

When you reach 4th level knight, your lifespan can be increased to 300 years old.

Satisfied with his progress, he ended his practice.

"It is time for others to use the body training powder now."

He made his way to the room and took all the packets of Body Training Powder. He then approached towards the parade ground.

A few more minutes later, he reached the parade crowd. There Arthur and others were training the movements of Turtle Martial Arts.

"Look there, young master has arrived." 

"Today, I will awaken my life seed."

"Really, I still need a few more doses of those medicines."

"That Devon is showing off daily after awakening the life seed; today I will awaken too and make him shut up."

"You Dare!"

"Shut up, young master will hear us."

"..."

Luis five senses were very enhanced, and he really could hear all the chatter.

"Everyone, follow me! Today is an important day. Don't waste time."

Luis didn't enter the parade ground. He shouted from afar and made his way to the private bath in the city. The group also stopped chattering and followed Luis with anticipation.

The process was the same as before; everyone entered inside the tub to absorb the medicine. After dozens of minutes, everyone walked out of the private baths.

There were 3 more apprentice knights among his group.

Now, Luis had seven apprentice knights under his command. According to his conversion, he currently has 7 late-stage body-training warriors and 5 mid-stage body-training warriors.

'This should be enough to deal with the Anyu Gang,' Luis thought with satisfaction.

----

Later, Luis gathered his men in his room. Luis planned to bring these 12 followers to the cultivation world. There they could learn the language, practice martial arts, and be his sharpest spear.

"Ok, wear this for hiding your identity." He gave each of them a robe that he had prepared.

"Now, don't be shocked by what happens next."

Luis spoke after everyone wore the robe, fully covering their body and not showing any skin.

Everyone nodded their heads with understanding.

Luis nodded too, and behind him a vortex began to appear, the size of the door. Seeing this, Arthur and others backed away with hands rested in the sword, unsure of what they were witnessing.

"This is a vortex; follow me; you will understand everything," Luis said calmly, stepping inside without any hesitation.

"Is this portal?"

"How would I know? Let's follow quickly. You ask me everything."

"I've read in history books that only a 7th-level wizard can create a portal."

"You guys don't waste time. Quickly follow the young master."

Being reminded, they quickly walked into the portal one by one. After everyone walked inside the portal, it vanished as if it were never there.

-----

Cultivation World

The group of 12 were clutching their heads after passing through the vortex. They were injected with a new memory of the common language of this world.

A few moments later, they stood up and stared at him with shocked eyes. Even though they were wearing the robe, Louis could feel how shocked they were.

"You can ask me any question?" Looking at them, Luis decided to answer their question. 

"Luis, is this a whole new world?"

"Young Master, where is this?"

"Young Master, did we just use a portal created by a 7th-level wizard?"

"Idiot, how could there be anyone above 6th level on this continent?"

"Young Master, is the martial arts you gave us from this world?"

"I know a new language that I have never seen before."

"me too"

"..."

Luis watched all of them who were talking and questioning in a hurry. He couldn't help but shake his head, looking at them.

"Don't be excited; keep your composure." Everyone stopped questioning after Luis command.

"You guys are still immature; you should keep your composure and observe the situation clearly."

"This is a whole new world, where there are martial arts masters and immortal cultivators." 

"As for how I got this vortex, this cannot be told."

Everyone nodded, but they were still very shocked. They traveled to a whole new, different world.

Luis slowly explained the situation of the world as they walked out of the alley.

"This is Anyu Town, according to the past few days I have spent here. There are only 2 people with the strength of an innate master, which is a 1st level official knight."

They began to slowly explore the town; all 12 young men were very shocked. This was totally culture from their barony. People here practiced martial arts. Here, power was divided among various families, gangs, and martial halls.

In the Hartmann Barony, every single military force is controlled by the Hartmann Family.
