Chapter 23: Increased Strength

"Old Bah, your idea is brilliant!" Old Bah whispered in Shaha's ear for a long time, and Shaha's eyes grew brighter and brighter as he listened. Finally, he even stood up excitedly and laughed loudly, "Old Bah, your idea is ingenious! On the day the Torch Festival begins, let Sulesa understand that she is not the woman everyone is watching, let her understand that Li Wei can't give her anything. In the following two days, arrange for Li Wei and Piro to have a duel. Let Piro easily defeat Li Wei, making Li Wei look pathetic in front of everyone. At that time, Sulesa will definitely understand what true heroism is. For men, appearance is worthless. She will see through that brat Li Wei then!"

The more Shaha thought about it, the better he felt that Old Baha's idea was, especially the clever combination with the Torch Festival, and then, without harming Suleisa, making his sister willingly disappointed in Livi.

Old Bahei stood quietly to the side without saying anything. In fact, his idea was very simple: combine it with the Torch Festival and then use people's psychology.

The first day of Torch Festival is an important festival for all women in Napur. On this day, all women go out to pray for blessings. On this day, women talk and laugh, pray at temples, and of course, there is also a lot of comparison and competition.

After all, wherever there are many people, there is a world of its own.

As night falls on this day, the most beautiful and outstanding woman among all the women will be chosen to receive the first Dakhmansi flower from the temple, a flower symbolizing wealth, good fortune, and beautiful love.

Only the most outstanding and popular woman in the area can receive it.

In the past, thanks to her stunning beauty and her father's considerable wealth, Suleza had been the woman who picked the D'Arcmansi flower for four consecutive years since she started participating in the competition at the age of thirteen.

But this year is different. Old Bahrain suggested to Shah that during the selection process, the wealth of the Moyat family should not be used to support Suleisa.

This is actually in accordance with the rules.

Because when selecting the most outstanding woman, factors such as appearance, family background, wealth, and character are generally considered.

There is a standard for judging a woman's family background and wealth: if she is unmarried, then her family background and wealth are her father's family.

However, if she is about to get married, or is already a married woman, then her family's wealth and status belong to her husband's family.

Although Livi is a Brahmin, and from the most prestigious Astan family, he is currently penniless. Where would he get the wealth to help Suleisa with her selection?

Shaha could imagine the spectacular scene that day, when Suleisa discovered that because of Levi's poverty, she could not pick the Dakhmansi Holy Flower, could not be named the most outstanding woman, and could not become the most admired woman.

She had to watch helplessly as others plucked the Dalmatian flower, and watch other women being fawned over by all the other women.

Will her sister, who is used to being the center of attention, be able to refrain from complaining about Li Wei?

For the younger sister, who had long been accustomed to and intoxicated by being the center of attention, this fall from grace was more heart-wrenching than any blatant denigration. At that time, her disappointment and resentment towards Li Wei would surely grow like weeds.

Perhaps by then, she will understand what Li Wei could never give her!

She couldn't enjoy the spotlight, the praise, or the envy from everyone when she was with Li Wei.

Shah thought again that the most brilliant part of Old Bahrain's plan was the series of interconnected schemes.

On the first day, Suleisa's disappointment with Livi was just the beginning; the climax came on the last day of the Torch Festival.

If the first day of the Torch Festival is a festival only for women, then the following days are a grand festival for all men and women to participate in together, especially the third or fourth day, which is the end of the Torch Festival and also the most lively day.

On this day, in order to worship primal power, all men will fight shirtless to choose the most valiant man.

On that day, you cannot refuse a challenge from someone.

Shah thought that Old Bahrain's plan was to arrange for Piro and Levi to fight on that day. On such an important festival, in front of nearly 10,000 people, Levi would be easily defeated by Piro. At that time, Suleisa would finally realize that the person she loved was a good-for-nothing with only blood.

Having such a high bloodline yet being inferior to even a Vaishya ascetic, it's almost certain that this person not only lacks talent but also doesn't work hard!

Then, Suleisa will see clearly that her eyes, which have been deceived by the illusion of Kama (the god of love), will be cleansed as if by the morning dew of the sacred river of Via, and she will see clearly whether the person she is to entrust her life to is a "protector" who can earn her respect in the battlefield of worldly law and profit, or merely a magnificent altar painted with an ancient family crest but empty inside, which serves no other purpose than to collect incense ashes.

Even the highest bloodline, if it cannot be transformed into tangible power and status, is the most useless decoration in this world!

Shaha couldn't wait for the Torch Festival to arrive in three days.

……

"I finally succeeded in practicing again."

In the courtyard, Li Wei let out a heavy sigh of relief. He was covered in sweat. Just now, he had practiced the Naga Eight Steps again and gained an experience point.

In addition, from this morning until now, in less than three hours, he practiced the Naga Eight Steps three times and gained three experience points.

[Exercise completed, experience points +1]

【Naga Eight Steps lv3 (3/10)】

"I'll try to practice two or three more times today, so that I can practice the rest tomorrow and level up to level four, and my Elephant Force will reach 0.8. At that point, my strength should be comparable to someone like Piroganka, right?"

Li Wei looked at the panel and pondered. Based on the original owner's memories, he judged that local bullies like Gankapiro were extremely close to completing the Vanpi, but had not yet officially completed it. The two of them should have an image power between 0.9 and 1.

After reaching a strength of 0.8, although he should be slightly weaker than these two, he should be able to hold his own against them thanks to the advantage of the Naga Eight Steps.

If he wanted to be sure he could defeat these two, he should wait two more days, three days, until the Torch Festival officially began. By then, his Naga Eight Steps should be at level five, and his stats would give him an additional 0.1 Elephant Strength. With 0.9 Elephant Strength and Naga Eight Steps at his disposal, he was absolutely certain he could sweep away all the local bullies around this village. Ganka, Piro, he should be able to defeat them all.

This is the confidence that the three-headed Naga gave him.

In terms of power of similar strength, he is invincible.

Of course, this invincibility is only relative to those Vaishya ascetics.

Compared to some Brahmin nobles with powerful bloodlines, he might be a bit lacking, but that's okay, he can still level up. One day, he will upgrade from a three-headed Naga to a five-headed, seven-headed, or even the ultimate nine-headed Naga!

"Three days later, my elephant power will be enough. Shouldn't we start seizing some territory? After all, the elephant power gained from honing martial arts skills can never compare to faith power." Li Wei stroked his chin. He still remembered the first time he sacrificed himself to the three-headed Naga. It directly increased his elephant power from 0.1 to 0.5. That feeling was so amazing, it was like a huge increase in strength.

This is incomparable to what you can achieve through daily hard work and extra effort.

Just as Li Wei was pondering something, the wooden door suddenly moved, and Suleisa entered.
