Wizard Immortal

Chapter 58 Overdoing

In the early morning, the sunlight illuminated the earth.

In a spacious room, a handsome young man sat quietly on a wooden chair, looking at a book in his hands.

He reads very quickly, almost flipping through pages, compared to the slow pace of others, making one wonder if he can even understand the contents.

"Recording complete, transmission commencing!"

After finishing the book, the mechanical voice of the chip resounded in my mind once again.

At the same time, a stream of information rushed into my mind and was transmitted into my memory.

Adir shook his head, dispelling the momentary daze caused by the transmission, before picking up another book and quickly flipping through it.

He flipped through the books very quickly, and before he knew it, he had read all the books on the wooden table.

That's all for today.

Looking at the books filling the wooden table, Adir shook his head and stood up. After easing his body a little, he walked to the side and put the books back on the original bookshelf one by one.

Looking at the books on the bookshelf that he had almost completely flipped through, Adir couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Before he knew it, more than a month had passed since he arrived here.

During this month or so, he was not completely idle.

Because of its location in a prosperous southern region, the Duke of Arrieux has a much larger collection of books than the Count of Polia. If all the rare books and valuable materials stored there were taken out, they could build several small libraries.

These are the qualities of an aristocrat, and they also signify the strength and history of an aristocracy.

During this period, Adir devoted himself almost entirely to these precious books, studying them day and night to enrich his knowledge.

Because of his past life as a researcher, Adir is more able to endure loneliness than others, and is more able to find his own enjoyment in a pile of cold books and knowledge.

This attitude, coupled with the powerful learning ability derived from the chip, enabled him to devour all the books in front of him in just over a month.

After gently arranging all the books on the wooden table, Adir walked over and checked his physical attributes.

"Name: Adir Fakus. Strength: 10.1. Agility: 9.9. Constitution: 10.2."

"The main body has reached its physical limits!" The cold voice from the chip in my mind rang out.

Over the course of more than a month, under the influence of that remaining red crystal core, his physical abilities finally reached their current peak, a point where there was no further improvement.

As for that red crystal core, it was used up a long time ago.

Thinking of this, Adir felt somewhat helpless.

He picked up his longsword from the wooden table, then walked out of the room and quickly went to a flat area.

This is the training ground specially prepared for him by Duke Arrieux. Not only are various training tools placed around the training ground, but there are also dedicated servants constantly attending to him, which can be described as excellent treatment.

In fact, Duke Arie had previously mentioned that if Adir wanted, he could even send a Grand Knight to spar with him, or find someone to test his sword skills on him.

The first one was alright, but the second one was downright insane.

The so-called "sword testing" involves finding people to practice on, using human flesh and blood to enhance the knight's familiarity with human anatomy and to practice some secret techniques.

It is said that some ancient killing techniques require testing the sword with flesh and blood during the learning process, and some murderous knights even enjoy killing people to test the sword.

Although Adir didn't consider himself a good person, he wouldn't be so ruthless as to do this unless absolutely necessary.

Although he rejected these proposals, the Duke of Arrieux's support for him was evident; while it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he would spare no effort, it was certainly not far off.

Quietly walking to the center of the training ground, standing there, Adir slowly drew the longsword from his waist.

The longsword made of black steel was slowly drawn and held in his hand, then thrust forward at an angle, beginning his daily training.

Upward slash, straight thrust, forward sweep... a series of basic movements became increasingly fluid in Adir's hands, without any of the awkwardness that others showed during training.

After a short while, Adir finished his training session, stood still, and felt the changes within his body. He nodded with some satisfaction.

During this period when his physical strength was at its limit, Adir had to find other ways to improve his combat power.

The swordsmanship before us, though the most basic, was re-derived through the powerful analytical capabilities of the chip, making it the most suitable standard swordsmanship for the human body.

Compared to the past, this newly simplified sword technique is not only less strenuous to use, but also minimizes the various types of damage that occur during its use.

Not only basic swordsmanship, but during this period, Adir also re-derived several sets of swordsmanship through the chip, and even re-derived the original Adir Breathing Technique, making it appear much more advanced.

This was thanks to the Duke of Arrieux's unwavering support.

With the other party's support, a wealth of valuable information, including the Knight's Breathing Technique and precious advanced sword techniques, was made available to Adir.

With over a century of accumulation from a principality, Adir was able to gather enough basic data for analysis and deduction.

According to the chip's simulation, the new Diel Breathing Technique is not only effective for the Knight stage, but can also play a certain training role for the Great Knight. Moreover, it has reduced the risks and stability, and can completely put all other Knight Breathing Techniques aside.

However, this is still of little use to Adir; it is more suitable for training some knights in the future.

Adir stood still and shook his head, thinking to himself.

Standing there for a while, he seemed to remember something, walked to a corner, raised his longsword with his right hand, and slowly slashed down at his left arm.

He didn't use too much force with this sword strike. The longsword fell gently and slowly slashed to one side under the influence of gravity, making a slight sound.

Adir felt a slight pain in his left arm, which quickly disappeared as if it had never happened.

He removed the sword and looked at his left arm, where a slight sword mark had appeared, but it quickly disappeared as the sword was removed.

"It's gotten to this point?"

He began to speak to himself.

Although the sword strike just now didn't use much force, the sharpness of the Black Rui longsword would have been enough to sever the arm of anyone else if it had struck them. But when it struck his hand, it only left a red mark.

This is the result of achieving a comprehensive physical fitness level of 10.

This is not just an increase in strength and speed, but also an increase in the body's defense and recovery ability. All things considered, he is already a superman.

"Chip, simulate the result of my head-on battle with a hundred-man force. The opponent's physical attributes and equipment are mainly based on the Black Knights." Standing in place, Adir gave the order to the chip in his mind.

"Mission established!" In an instant, the chip in his mind responded to him.

A scene begins to emerge and evolve, supported by the chip's massive computing power.

On the empty plain, Adir's figure was first simulated, and opposite him, a hundred-man squad was charging towards him.

Looking at the army opposite him, Adir's face was blank and expressionless. He simply picked up his longsword and charged forward.

With a swift movement, he wielded his sword, each swing drawing upon his life energy, which coalesced into battle qi on the blade, cleaving the warrior before him in two.

The weapons of the soldiers in front of him, except for a few attacks, could only break the skin and could not seriously injure him. He quickly dealt with them.

He was fast and efficient at killing. Almost every few seconds, a warrior would fall to the ground. Even if the surrounding warriors tried to surround him, he could easily break through and finish them off one by one.

The battle ended quickly, with Adir emerging victorious, without sustaining any serious injuries.

Sensing that this was the end, Adir continued the simulation, directly increasing the opponent's numbers by one hundred.

This time, Adir still won, but he was clearly struggling much and didn't show the same ease and composure as before.

Even with three hundred men, Adir still won, but at a certain cost.

···········

As the number of men increased, Adir's victories became increasingly difficult, and eventually, when the number exceeded five hundred, his victory began to falter.

Adir simulated the scenario several times, and the final result was either a Pyrrhic victory for him or being surrounded and killed after killing most of the enemy warriors.

With such a large number of people, in a direct battle, even if Adir is incredibly fast, he cannot dodge all the warriors' attacks. Even if he is strong enough to kill several people with each sword strike, he will still be hit by many more weapons.

Although his defense and recovery abilities are strong, he will also be worn down if he faces such an encirclement, and victory will become extremely difficult.

"It seems that the Great Knight's limit has been reached here."

Feeling the results of the simulation in his mind, Adir stood still and shook his head.

Strictly speaking, this is only a rough simulation and can only be used as a reference and estimate.

The reality is far more complex than the simulation.

Weapons and armor, terrain, the eliteness of the warriors... all these factors will affect the actual outcome.

Not all warriors are like the Black Knights under Akadilla's command, possessing such elite warriors and superior weapons and armor.

Putting aside everything else, if the 500 Black Knights were to fight against ordinary troops, even if the enemy outnumbered them several times over, they would probably be able to win easily.

Under normal circumstances, if they were to actually clash with the Black Knights, a great knight like Adir would undoubtedly resort to ranged weapons such as bows and crossbows.

Under normal circumstances, Adir would not be foolish enough to engage the army head-on. With his individual mobility and stealth, he had plenty of ways to wear down the enemy.

Thinking of this, Adir shook his head, sheathed his sword, and walked away into the distance.
