Chapter 24 - Grand prize

"This feeling..." On the spacious training ground, Chen Chi suddenly froze in place. At this moment, feeling the changes in his body, he was suddenly in a daze. Inside his body and on his frame, it seemed that warm currents were pouring in at this moment, constantly emerging within his body, bringing him a strange kind of stimulation and a brand-new sense of experience. He was quite unfamiliar with this feeling, yet he was also very sensitive to it. "Could it be?" All of a sudden, his eyes widened and a speculation emerged in his mind. "Does this body have the potential to become a knight?" His eyes widened as this speculation popped into his mind at this moment. In this world, if one wanted to become a knight, one must possess the aptitude to be a knight. Only by having the aptitude to be a knight could one practice the knight's breathing technique to generate life energy, and then, under the stimulation of the life energy, awaken the life seed and become a real knight. Before this, due to the experience from the last simulation, he knew how rare the knight's aptitude was, so he subconsciously thought that this body didn't have the knight's aptitude. But now it seemed... A sense of wild joy emerged, accompanied by a feeling like winning a grand prize. Chen Chi understood that he had definitely won a big prize this time. He had spent only thirty points on this identity. Logically speaking, it shouldn't have the knight's aptitude. After all, even the weakest knight's aptitude required one hundred points to obtain. But now it seemed that the investment of points didn't represent everything. Sometimes, even if the invested points were low, it didn't mean that one wouldn't possess other things. It was just that the probability was a bit lower. There was no doubt that Chen Chi had won the lottery this time. "What a pity... If I had discovered it earlier..." Feeling the changes in his body, he felt a bit regretful in his heart. In this simulation, he subconsciously thought that this body was the same as the one in the first simulation and didn't possess any aptitude either. Because he hadn't thought about it in this regard at all, practicing the knight's breathing technique was just an auxiliary measure and he didn't put too much energy into it. His main energy was mainly put into the body-strengthening method. Otherwise, he wouldn't have realized that he had the knight's aptitude until now. Under normal circumstances, this kind of situation wouldn't occur. Normally, to know whether a person had the knight's aptitude, either a knight who had mastered life energy would inject his own life energy into the tester's body and then observe the tester's performance to make a judgment. Or, it would be through some special potions that could consume life, just like the ones Sorrondo gave to Chen Chi in the last simulated world, to achieve the same effect as a knight injecting life energy. Under normal circumstances, these two methods were the fastest and most intuitive. Besides these, it would require the tester to practice the knight's breathing technique by himself to see if he could activate his own life energy. This time, Chen Chi neither had an available knight to inject life energy for him nor did he have those potions. Naturally, he could only use the most clumsy method, which was why he didn't discover until now that he had actually won a grand prize. However, it wasn't too late now. Without any hesitation, Chen Chi put aside the practice of the body-strengthening method, directly put the long sword in his hand back, and then began to make some inexplicable movements. His movements were very unique. While making these movements, he was also making efforts with his spirit, trying hard to circulate the qi and blood in his body, so as to activate the power in his body and stimulate the latent life energy within his body. With his efforts, a certain latent power in his body began to become active and started to surge up continuously at this moment, bringing Chen Chi a brand-new sense of experience. Feeling this feeling, Chen Chi gradually became excited. At this moment, all the fatigue in his body was swept away and he had a very comfortable feeling. He had never had this feeling when practicing the knight's breathing technique in the past. It only appeared at this moment and was so obvious. He trained here until the sky around gradually brightened up before slowly stopping. When he stopped, a large number of people had gathered around him. Quite a few people were standing aside watching him, with admiration and sighs in their eyes. Regarding these looks, Chen Chi just smiled and then stopped his movements. Since nearly half a year ago, after he showed his superb swordsmanship, people often looked at him with such eyes. "It's still early. Everyone should take a rest while you can." Looking at the people around, Chen Chi smiled and said softly. The people around nodded repeatedly. Seeing that Chen Chi was about to leave, they quickly made way for him. Chen Chi then left, with a smile on his face all the way. After he left, a long time passed before Ormando finally arrived late at the training ground. He came to the training ground, looked at the guards who had scattered around, frowned immediately, and his face became extremely serious. "What are you all sitting here for?" "Hurry up and get up to train!!" He looked at the guards around, with an unfriendly expression on his face, and shouted loudly. "He came so late himself, yet he's still so fierce..." Around, someone muttered in a low voice, but on the surface, they still didn't dare to say anything and obediently got up and started training. After leaving the training ground, Chen Chi turned around and walked to a hall. It was still early at this moment and the hall hadn't opened yet. Chen Chi just waited there patiently, waiting for the people inside to wake up. Time passed slowly like this. After a while, a voice came from inside. "Kailin, are you here?" A surprised voice came from inside, and the voice seemed to reveal some surprise. "Come in quickly." Hearing the voice, Chen Chi walked in and just entered the hall. After entering the hall, a faint fragrance slowly wafted over and spread around. Chen Chi looked ahead. He saw that Baron Kayson was wearing a decent red robe and was sitting there alone at this moment. In front of him, there was a plate of bread and some cooked pieces of meat. "Why did you come so early?" Looking at Chen Chi who walked in, Baron Kayson had a kind expression on his face and said with a smile, "And since you're here, why didn't you ask someone to wake me up?" "It doesn't matter." Chen Chi smiled and didn't take it to heart. "I just came a little early. There's no need to disturb Father's rest." "And it's nice to stand outside for a while. It can just help me clear my head." "You..." Looking at Chen Chi, Baron Kayson had a complicated expression on his face and didn't quite know what to say at this moment. Since half a year ago, Chen Chi had been like this. Every time he came, he would come early to wait and never let him wait or disturb his rest. After a long time, even he, as the father, felt a bit embarrassed.
