In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

Chapter 249 Glory is Life, the Ten Principles of a Knight

"I... this... what..." The royal knight was clearly still a little bewildered.

"Since I've given it to you, just accept it! Come to my place later!"

"yes!!"

"What's your name?" Lin Hai suddenly asked, as if he had just thought of something.

"Greetings, Commander! I am Chen Xiaojun, squad leader of the Third Battalion of the Heaven Dou Royal Knights!"

"That dust?"

"Dust of the mortal world!"

"Surname Chen?"

"So, you and...?"

"Commander, please don't misunderstand. I have nothing to do with that Sword Douluo."

Lin Hai: Hehe, you think it's okay just because you say so!

"What is your martial spirit? May I demonstrate it?"

"yes!"

"Martial Soul, Heavenly Star Sword, Possession."

Lin Hai: "..." If you say it has nothing to do with Chen Xin, I don't believe it at all.

In the Douluo Continent, it's perfectly normal for people to have distant relatives by marriage.

Seeing Lin Hai's rather speechless look, Chen Xiaojun couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

He had encountered this kind of thing countless times.

"Sigh!" Chen Xiaojun sighed inwardly. Well, let me explain again!

"Commander, first of all, Sword Douluo's martial soul is the Seven Kill Sword."

"Besides, my martial spirit is nothing more than an ordinary sword!"

"Secondly, my martial spirit was inherited from my mother's family, and my mother's surname isn't Chen!"

"..." Anyway, that's what Chen Xiaojun explained.

"Okay, I understand!"

"General Roxson, please return to your unit!" Lin Hai said to Roxson in a calm tone.

"Yes, Commander!"

Roxon entered the Heavenly Dou Royal Knights Guard and stood at the very front of the formation.

Qian Renxue realized that Lin Hai had something to say, so she consciously stepped back a distance and left the stage to Lin Hai.

The scene became quiet.

The knights of the Heavenly Dou Royal Knights all stared at Lin Hai, awaiting his instructions.

While they were waiting.

The next moment, blue silver grass sprouted from the ground around Lin Hai, and the blue silver grass intertwined to form a high platform, lifting Lin Hai up.

"humble!

"honest!"

"mercy"

"Heroism, fairness, sacrifice, honor, perseverance, benevolence, justice."

Lin Hai first shouted out humility, honesty, and compassion one by one, then quickened his pace to say the remaining chivalrous principles: courage, justice, sacrifice, honor, perseverance, benevolence, and righteousness.

From the moment Lin Hai uttered the first word of humility, the group of royal knights felt an urge to echo that word.

As Lin Hai spoke, they were panting heavily, unable to calm down the turmoil in their hearts.

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Lin Hai, and I am the new commander of your Heavenly Dou Royal Knights."

"However, I don't like the name 'Commander.' If you like it, you can call me 'Holy Knight Commander.'"

"Greetings, Commander Paladin!!"

Five hundred royal knights belonging to the Heaven Dou royal family shouted in unison. Whether they were captivated by Lin Hai's personal charisma or not, at this moment, they all acknowledged Lin Hai as the leader of the Heaven Dou Royal Knights.

In the Douluo Continent, the mainstream is still Soul Masters who cultivate with Soul Power. They hunt Soul Beasts, obtain Soul Rings, and acquire Soul Skills with special powers. Therefore, as long as one has innate Soul Power and can cultivate, one has the opportunity to become a Soul Master.

Because of the nature of spirit rings, self-created spirit skills are scarce. Since creating a spirit skill is much more difficult than acquiring one through spirit rings, many spirit masters are unwilling to spend the time researching self-created spirit skills.

For them, it's better to spend that time cultivating their soul power than researching and creating their own soul skills. In the end, not only will their soul power increase, but they will also acquire soul skills. Isn't that much more worthwhile than creating their own soul skills?

Therefore, knights, in the Douluo Continent, are merely a symbolic army, or rather, a private army.

These knights are loyal to their ruler and love their country, and are brave and righteous. However, they are too scattered and have not come together to form a force belonging to knights. Therefore, the knights on Douluo Continent do not have their own unique knightly spirit and code.

"You are knights. In your eyes, knights are loyal, brave, and righteous."

"That's good, but I think your understanding of the knightly virtues of 'humility, honesty, compassion, courage, justice, sacrifice, honor, perseverance, benevolence, and righteousness' is not deep enough."

"Humility, honesty, compassion, courage, justice, sacrifice, honor, perseverance, benevolence, and righteousness."

"Do you believe this is the spirit of us knights?" The Lightning Blue Silver Overlord Spear appeared in Lin Hai's hand, and Lin Hai raised the Lightning Blue Silver Overlord Spear high.

"Yes!!" the royal knights shouted in unison.

"Then tell me, what are the principles of knighthood?" Lin Hai looked sternly at the royal knights in front of him, his authoritative voice ringing out.

"Humility, honesty, compassion, courage, justice, sacrifice, honor, perseverance, benevolence, and righteousness." The Royal Knights of the Heavenly Dou Army held their lances, stood tall, and their chants were uniform and resounding.

"Tell me, what is humility?!" Lin Hai asked authoritatively, his gaze sweeping over them.

"Humility! The arrogant think they are superior to others, while the humble genuinely believe that they are no different from others."

"In the doctrine of chivalry, God is above all people. Under God, there is no difference between nobles, knights, commoners, and even slaves. Our knightly creed must be humble, reverent towards God, and treat us knights and others equally."

"Honesty! A knight is true to his own soul, which is to say, honesty. As a knight, it is my natural duty to serve my lord and protect my country, and a knight must have good credit to build good relationships with others."

"The cultivation of this honesty is a long process. From the day you enter the path of chivalry, you must constantly restrain all your words and actions, which feels like being an ascetic. But only after suffering can you know the sweetness. Even in the virtual world of a game, we knights are living real lives."

"mercy!"

"Our knights' leniency towards the enemy on the battlefield is mercy."

"Although we Royal Knights are renowned for our bravery, we often stop short of defeating our opponents; this is almost a matter of well-trained demeanor. There is a scene that I believe all of you are familiar with: in your daily training, the victor often points his cold sword at the opponent's vitals and then immediately withdraws it. However, if you harbor ill intentions, are unwilling to accept defeat, and launch a sneak attack from behind, knights need not treat such petty behavior with gentlemanly conduct."

"A knight's compassion is also reflected in helping the weak and punishing the strong. Although knights are loyal to their king, their guiding principle is justice. A knight should always fight for justice. Compassion should also exist among knights. Compassion among knights is reflected in the friendship between friends. Sharing the same stance, a knight can fight alone or in groups. I have already witnessed the battles of your Heavenly Battle Royal Knights, and you have done a very good job!"

"Heroism! War has no place for cowards. Looking back on the past, and reflecting on the lives of the former Royal Knights of the Heavenly Battle, after carefully reading their biographies of knights who were ennobled and knighted, you will find that these knights were all brave and skilled warriors on the battlefield. We cannot go back to the past, but we can still catch a glimpse of it in many paintings."

"Fully armored, armed horses, sharp blades, a bugle call, wide-open city gates, and an indomitable spirit of never turning back until victory is achieved. A brave but reckless man is merely a warrior. A true hero must also be resourceful; only those who possess both wisdom and courage can be called valiant. The heroism of a knight is demonstrated in the accuracy and ruthlessness of his attacks, the ferocity of his strength, the thoroughness of his tactics, and his calm deliberation."

"Justice! There is no absolute balance between law and human sentiment. On this great road, under divine authority lies monarchical power, and the emperor is the law, the standard. But it is difficult for people to be without selfish desires, so justice is not absolute on this great road today. However, knights are born with chivalrous hearts. Faced with power, if there is no justice, they themselves are the law. The measure of justice is entirely in people's hands; right and wrong are just a matter of a single thought."

"Sacrifice! The interests of the monarch and the honor of the nation are above all else. This is something every knight should remember. For justice, they shed blood on the battlefield, disregarding their own lives. Sacrificing themselves is to enable others to live better lives. This is the most precious aspect of chivalry."

"Honor! For us knights, honor is life! A knight must value honor, respect his master and superiors, and protect those who are insulted."

"Fighting for honor, but what exactly is this honor? It is a knight's dignity and honor. Every profession starts from the bottom and works its way up, level by level, and knights are no exception."

"When a candidate knight is sworn in and promoted to a full knight, he undergoes many rigorous tests. The name of knight is itself a certification of ability. One who can only ride a horse cannot be called a knight. To be a knight, one must not only have superb riding skills, but also experience and ability in combat. As nobles in the Heavenly Dou Empire, they always have some special marks. They are a group of people between the king and the commoners."

"On this great road today, nobility is a symbol of high bloodline, and to possess or inherit it is a source of pride. Knighthood is not only a title of nobility, but also a military rank."

"Persistence! Great energy arises only for great purposes, and so it is with knights. Our beliefs are noble, and our purposes are pure. Intelligence, inner drive, diligence, and unwavering spirit—these are the qualities required for chivalry."

"Compassion! A knight must show compassion and empathy, treating others with the same care he would show himself, and helping them overcome difficulties."

"This benevolence made knights not only brave and fearless on the battlefield, but also a respected symbol among ordinary people."

"justice!"

"A knight must uphold the principles of justice and fairness, refrain from harming the innocent, and strive to maintain social justice."

"The world is black and white; there is no gray area between justice and evil. On the path of pursuing justice, we must not forget our original aspirations as knights, nor can we forget those who truly need our help."

……

"I hope you will heed my words today and uphold the code of chivalry!"

"In the battles to come, for the sake of the monarch and for the code of chivalry, be a humble, benevolent, and honest knight of light, with a compassionate heart, to carry out acts of fairness and justice, to charge bravely, to sacrifice without fear, to live for what is right, and to die for glory!" Lin Hai gave an explanation of all ten principles of chivalry in one breath.

"We will heed the teachings of the Holy Knight Commander!" The entire Third Battalion of the Heavenly Dou Royal Knights knelt on one knee, gripping their spears in their left hands, pounding their chests with their right hands, and bowing their heads as they shouted.

"In that case, let me present you with a small gift!"

Lin Hai did not unleash his martial soul. If he did, his spirit rings would appear, but now was clearly not the time to reveal his sixth spirit ring to the public.

Lin Hai did not unleash his martial spirit, but instead directly used the Blue Silver Domain.

Beneath the blue silver domain, all members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Knights present, as well as Qian Renxue, were enveloped.

Beneath the blue light, golden blue silver grass sprouted from beneath each person's feet. The appearance of this gold made the scene even more solemn, dignified, and imbued with an element of light.

Beneath the blue silver domain, every member of the Royal Knights present felt exceptionally well, and some of the hidden injuries in their bodies gradually disappeared.

The members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Knights were still too weak in cultivation, and could only vaguely feel their physical condition improving. The environment they were in now made them feel very warm.

But Roxon, being a Contra Master, was different. He clearly sensed just how extraordinary this rich life force truly was!

He looked at Lin Hai with amazement in his eyes.

The members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Knights, having benefited from the deal, no longer complained; they were bound by the principle of "he who eats another's food is bound to him."

"Thank you for your kindness, Paladin Commander!"

"Um!"

Looking at these royal knights, Lin Hai couldn't help but compare them to knights from another world.

However, it is quite obvious that the knights of Douluo Continent cannot be compared to the knights of Saint Demon Continent.

The Holy Demon Continent first experienced the Calamity of the Undead, the bloody revenge of the Necromancer Saint God Ilex, and then the arrival of the Demon Race, which made knights no longer subordinate to monarchs or popes.

Rather, it belonged solely to the Goddess of Light. These knights believed that the Goddess of Light could give them the power to fight against the demons who had suddenly descended upon them.

Speaking of the Holy Demon Continent, the knights' unprecedented status is inseparable from Elder Yi's bloody revenge against the Pope, who killed the Pope who had been manipulating the knights with doctrines and knightly creeds.

Furthermore, the sudden arrival of the demon race brought unprecedented unity to the human race, with different professions joining forces to fight against the demons.

It can be said that the Holy Demon Continent during the Demon Age was an unprecedented peak moment for all knights.

If you have any thoughts on this, you should know why I wrote it.
