My front door leads to a comic strip

The following day, after obtaining his adventurer status, Gu Yuan left the city with Millie Alde.

Although I haven't fully mastered how to use battle aura yet, there will always be time to study it during the long journey.

Right now, heading to the capital is the top priority.

No matter how strong a warrior is, he can only sweep away thousands of troops. The strength of an individual is still like a mayfly trying to shake a tree in the face of the great power of heaven and earth.

Only magic—that power that can summon meteorites and move mountains and fill seas—can inspire fear in all factions.

"Sasha—"

The midday sun dappled through the leaves, and Gu Yuan had one arm around Millie Aldey's slender waist, while holding an ancient book with a leather cover in his other hand.

The pages were yellowed, but the ink was still clear, and it contained a martial art called "Fingal Flow: Battle Aura Hardening Technique".

The martial arts technique was quite effective.

Simply by channeling battle aura into the equipment, its hardness can be greatly enhanced, and even its sharpness can be significantly improved.

At the same time, it also enhances the user's physical defense.

"Although I can't learn how to project my battle aura yet, learning enchanting is a good idea. With enchantment, my sword can probably shatter diamonds."

"I just don't know if my current physical strength is enough to stop a bullet... It's better not to try it lightly, and just keep it as a trump card."

Gu Yuan closed the book, lamenting that everything in the world of Frilian was wonderful except for the inability to live forever.

If there were any martial arts techniques that could increase one's vitality, he would acquire them even if it meant going bankrupt.

pity……

Just as he was feeling sentimental, Miliealde suddenly frowned her delicate, willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows in front of her.

"There are enemies."

tread.

She suddenly pulled on the reins, and the horse neighed and stopped.

"Um?"

Gu Yuan looked up and saw three wolf-headed, human-bodied monsters slowly emerging from the shadows of the forest.

Their rough fur was covered with dark red stains, the axe blades gleamed coldly in the sunlight, the handles were rusty, and a sour stench could be smelled from dozens of meters away.

"A monster?"

Gu Yuan was already used to seeing humanoid monsters like this.

They may look similar to demi-humans, but they still live by eating humans.

"Hmm," Miliald responded, preparing to dismount so as not to frighten her mount.

At this moment, Gu Yuan reached out and firmly pressed down on her shoulder.

"I'll do it."

As he spoke, he drew the long sword from his waist.

As he channeled his battle qi, a barely perceptible, cold, and sharp glint appeared on the blade, and a hint of eager excitement also appeared in his eyes.

"Perfect timing! I was just looking for an enemy to test the effects of this Battle Qi Hardening Technique."

As he spoke, accompanied by the heavy thud of his boots on the solid ground, Gu Yuan began to look directly at the three demons in front of him.

In a vague sense, their fighting spirit was as tall as the trees, but ultimately no match for his own.

A look of understanding flashed across Gu Yuan's face.

"...Without realizing it, I've become so strong. This power of the mind is truly unreasonable."

With light steps, I took a step forward.

"careful."

Millie Alder's voice came from behind her, offering words of advice.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Gu Yuan waved his hand behind him, and in a flash, he vanished without a trace.

Swish!

With a light leap, one can cover tens of meters.

The blade flashed like lightning; before a wolf-headed man could even raise his shield, his head was flung high into the air, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

The remaining two monsters stood frozen in place, letting out low whimpers.

Although they lack human intelligence, they can discern danger, such as the human standing before them...

Fear made them take a step back, but then, a fierce glint flashed in their eyes, and their appetite urged them forward to raise their shields.

"Oh?" Gu Yuan slowly straightened up from his half-squatting position, squinting as he glanced at him.

"You think this can defend against my attack? Naïve. The Hardening Technique increases the weapon's sharpness by at least 50%."

"Let alone the equipment of this era, even in modern times, there aren't many things that can stop it."

Gu Yuan flicked his wrist, twirling his sword in the air, and then cleanly and decisively swung it forward twice more.

"laugh--"

With two crisp sounds, the sturdy shield, along with the body behind it, split in two like tofu.

thump.

The monster's eyes were still frozen in disbelief when its body crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Gu Yuan slowly turned around, flicked the blood off his knife, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

It's no wonder it's an enchanted weapon.

He looked forward more and more to the day when he could unleash the power of his sword.

If one could cleave the sea in two with a single sword strike, perhaps even an aircraft carrier could be destroyed…

……

"Let's go."

Gu Yuan returned to Milie Alde's side and nimbly mounted his horse.

By this time, the monster's corpse had vanished without a trace, leaving not even a trace of blood.

He watched this scene, pulled out a map of the Southern Continent he had bought in the previous city, assessed his current location, and said:

"We are currently 130 kilometers away from the next city, and we are striving to arrive within five days."

He looked up at Miliearde.

"That city seems to have some kind of labyrinth. Milield, have you ever been to a labyrinth? I've heard there are a lot of magical items inside."

Actually, I didn't just hear about it; I saw related content in a comic book.

Although the specific effects of those items are unclear, it would be great to obtain even one or two.

He wanted to become stronger, and although his strength was steadily increasing, his speed...

A speed of tens of meters per second may seem fast, but in reality, even a small bird in this world can break the sound barrier.

That's really unreasonable.

Millie Alde glanced at the map briefly: "A maze... I've heard of it. Is there wine inside?"

She took the reins again, gave them a slight twitch, and the horse continued to gallop forward, the crisp sound of its hooves echoing through the woods.

"I rarely go to places I'm not interested in, because as an elf I don't need magical tools, but..."

However, if Gu Yuan is interested, then that's another story.

She continued speaking without turning her head, her voice melodious:

"How long do you plan to stay there? Another month?"

"No."

Gu Yuan put away the map, quickly calculating in his mind the time it would take to travel three thousand miles, then replied with certainty,

"At most a week."

It has been more than two months since the first grid of the Two Realms Gate lit up, and the second grid will light up in about ten days.

The remaining four squares represent a year. He must reach the capital within a year to learn magic and enter the second world in perfect form.

Therefore, it is essential to manage time well.

Milie Alde gave a soft "hmm," then fell silent and hurried along the forest path.

Gu Yuan sat behind her, reopened the ancient book, and continued to study the hardening technique.
