Chapter 30 - True knights

Chen Heng was running among the crowd. At this moment, he wasn't particularly conspicuous. He just ran steadily to the middle of the crowd, neither taking the lead nor lagging behind, looking rather unremarkable. After half a year's training, Chen Heng had already refined his body-training method to a certain level. Although there was still a gap from the real standard, he was far superior to ordinary people. This level of exercise was nothing to him at all. While running, he even had the energy left to observe the performance of the people around him. All around, everyone was running and kept running at this moment. Perhaps the difference at the beginning wasn't too obvious, but as time passed, the difference in physical strength among the people gradually became apparent. Before he knew it, Chen Heng's position was already quite advanced. And currently, the one running in the first position was none other than Kurudo. Compared to Chen Heng, his physical strength seemed inexhaustible. Even though he had been running from the start until now and had been leading all the way, he didn't seem tired at all and always ran at the very front. Chen Heng closely followed him, keeping a steady pace behind him. Apart from the two of them, there were several others following behind them. As for the others, most of them couldn't continue at this moment. They were all left far behind by them, and quite a number of them were already sitting on the ground, panting heavily. Coribo stood alone on the side, watching calmly. He didn't look at those who had fallen behind. He just calmly watched Chen Heng and the few people in the front. "You guys stay." He waved his hand, pointed at Chen Heng and the others, then turned around and looked at the others who were already lying on the ground: "As for you, you can leave." As his words fell, there was an uproar around. "Why?" Someone couldn't help but speak up: "We've paid the tuition!" "What right do you have to drive us away?" This was a young man who seemed to be from an extraordinary background. He was wearing a proper red robe with gold threads embroidered on it. At a glance, one could tell that he came from a very good family and was quite wealthy. Chen Heng knew this guy. This guy seemed to be the second son of a certain earl and was very favored by that earl. So he was specially sent to this academy to gild his reputation. At this moment, he stood there, angrily pointing at Coribo: "Do you know what you're doing?" "You're insulting the descendant of the Maidode family! You'll surely incur the wrath of the Maidode family!" "The Maidode family?" Coribo smiled, showing a smile. This was the first time he had shown an expression. To be honest, judging from his appearance, when he showed an expression, he was far more terrifying than before, even when he was smiling. Under Chen Heng's gaze, he slowly stretched out his hand and slowly reached towards his waist. "No way." Watching Coribo's movements, Chen Heng subconsciously widened his eyes. In the next moment, a bloody scene occurred. The light silver sword light spread out, diffusing from Coribo in front. At a glance, it looked like silver moonlight, crashing down at this moment. Drops of bright red blood fell. A head suddenly flew out, still with an expression of astonishment on it, as if it hadn't expected that the other party would dare to attack him. Chen Heng hadn't expected it either. In just an instant, the young man who claimed to be the descendant of the Maidode family died directly and became a cold corpse, just lying quietly on the ground like that. This was the second son of an earl. How could he be killed just like that? Who on earth was he? Looking at Coribo in front, whose face was calm, as if he hadn't killed a big shot but just a pig, Chen Heng's face was full of astonishment. At this time, this was the only thought left in his mind. And... that kind of method just now... He recalled the method Coribo used when he drew his sword just now. Obviously, there were still several meters between them, but the other party drew his sword in an instant and was able to chop off the other's head in an instant. The process was so fast that even Chen Heng hadn't completely seen it clearly. Obviously, this kind of method wasn't something that ordinary people could possess. A knight... a true knight. Not the so-called knight apprentices who claimed to be knights just because they awakened life energy, but knights who had awakened their life seeds and possessed true extraordinary power. During the first simulation, Chen Heng had traveled around as a mercenary. During his travels, he had also witnessed many powerful people and understood the huge differences among knights. The so-called knights were divided into many types. Those who had simply cultivated life energy, strictly speaking, could only be called knight apprentices. For example, Knight Edward in the first simulated world was at this level. Only those who had truly awakened their own life seeds and their own life cores were true knights. At this stage, knights could truly control their own life energy and could truly do many things that ordinary people couldn't do. Knights at this stage, when Chen Heng was a mercenary in the past, he had seen them before, but he didn't dare to fight them at all. Every time he saw them, he would flee far away. It was said that above ordinary knights, there were so-called grand knights... However, at this level, even though Chen Heng had traveled around as a mercenary in the past, he had only heard of it and hadn't actually seen it. There was no doubt that Coribo in front of him, who could perform that strike just now, was a true knight, at least a knight who had awakened his life seed. A true big shot. Chen Heng thought of a lot in an instant. At this instant, he just stood there blankly, looking as if he had been scared silly. However, at this moment, none of this mattered. Because beside him, there were many people with similar reactions at this moment. At this moment, even Kurudo was stunned. At this moment, like Chen Heng, he just stood there blankly, not knowing what to do for a long time. "He... killed someone..." Looking at the corpse on the ground, their faces turned pale, and a sense of horror rose in their hearts at this time. Although this era was barbaric and rough and deaths were quite common, a situation like the one in front of them, where someone was talking to you nicely one second and became a corpse the next, was still too shocking. For a while, everyone was stunned. Many people looked at Coribo, their faces full of horror. Facing those gazes, Coribo didn't care at all. He just sneered contemptuously and casually waved his hand. Beside him, several servants quickly walked out and directly carried the man's corpse away. "Didn't you hear what I said?" Looking at the stunned people in front of him, Coribo's face was cold and he snorted softly: "Now, who else has something to say?" He said calmly, and imperceptibly, a murderous intent spread out, diffusing towards the surroundings. The faces of the people around couldn't help but turn pale.
