He promised to become a knight, but what the heck is Astartes?

Meanwhile, Anthony was on the ring, wildly swinging his wooden sword, putting all his strength into each strike. His arm was so sore that he could barely lift it.

"Wait! Too slow! Have you guys not eaten?!"

Rorschach sat on a chair to the side, holding a cup of hot milk, watching the four of them like a foreman.

At this moment, the Extreme Team's Hell Week officially begins.

"Captain... Captain... I really can't go on..."

Harlan trembled and collapsed to the floor, feeling as if the muscles in his abdomen had been completely torn apart.

"Men, never say no!"

"Keep going! Break your own limits today!"

Luo Xia took a sip of milk and encouraged everyone with his words. As the captain, he was having a really tough time!

Can't these incompetent teammates even think about him?

After all, if you guys don't work hard, how can I, as the captain, sit on the throne of regent and rule Terra?

If you don't work hard today, you'll be a fearless comrade in a mech tomorrow!

Give it your all today, and the captain will build an empire next year!

"Captain, this training regimen... it could really kill people."

Ryan also stopped and said with a bitter face.

He felt that his training volume today had completely surpassed the accumulation of the previous seventeen years!

"Don't worry, I have scientific evidence for this! No one will die!"

"Alright, warm-up over."

"Get up now and spar with me!"

Luo Xia clapped his hands, stood up, stretched, and then beckoned with his finger.

"All four of you come at me together, use every method you can think of to attack me. If any of you manage to touch me, I'll give him a huge reward!"

"Captain, are you sure?"

Upon hearing this, Anthony gripped his wooden sword tighter, a glint of fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.

After all, he was already a knight attendant with twelve layers of life force cycle, and with the added blessing of the excellent-grade "Mad Lion Breathing Technique", he didn't believe he couldn't even touch the hem of Luo Xia's clothes.

"Having confidence is a good thing, but being overconfident..."

Luo Xia twisted his neck, a smile spreading across his lips.

"That would be a bad thing."

"Captain! Be careful!"

Seeing Luo Xia's arrogance, Anthony took the initiative to shoot.

He let out a low roar, and the Mad Lion Breathing Technique within his body rapidly activated. A faint red light appeared on his body, and his speed instantly increased dramatically. The wooden sword in his hand pierced straight for Luo Xia's throat.

Aaron followed closely behind, raising his wooden shield and charging directly at Rorschach in a knightly charge.

Meanwhile, Harlan and Ryan blocked Rorschach's retreat from the left and right, and attacked at the same time!

It must be said that the fact that they were able to react so quickly without any communication shows that they have a certain tactical foundation.

Unfortunately, the man in front of them was named Rorschach.

His very existence sealed their fate.

Rorschach stood still, neither dodging nor avoiding, until just as Anthony's wooden sword was about to pierce him, he suddenly raised his right hand.

Emperor's Holy Fist title triggered! Emperor's Awe!

As Rorschach threw a punch, a golden phantom that only Rorschach could see suddenly appeared on his fist, and it slammed directly into the spine of Anthony's sword.

"Buzz!"

Instantly, an invisible mental shock surged through the wooden sword and directly into Anthony's mind.

Anthony felt his mind suddenly go blank. A being sitting high on a golden throne glanced at him indifferently, and his whole body instantly stiffened.

Luo Xia then kicked Anthony in the stomach, sending him flying backward and crashing heavily against the wall.

Immediately afterward, Rorschach swiftly turned around and slammed his left fist directly into Aaron's shield. The immense force and mental impact cracked the wooden shield.

Aaron slid back several steps, shield and all, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Seeing this, Harlan and Ryan also made their moves at the same time, but Rorschach suddenly slowed down his steps, like flowing water, and easily dodged their attacks.

Then came two whip kicks, sending the two flying.

The battle ended in less than five seconds.

"too weak."

Looking at the four people lying on the ground, Luo Xia shook his head helplessly and said with a hint of disappointment:

"Whether it's strength, speed, or your attacks, everything is so weak. Are you trying to tickle me?"

At this moment, Rorschach also felt that what the great Regent said was completely absurd!

His extreme team was a complete bunch of rotten fish and shrimp.

I'm so sorry, I've embarrassed the great Regent...

Anthony stood up, clutching his stomach, his eyes filled with resentment and fear.

The images that had just flashed through his mind made him feel a real threat of death.

What kind of being is that who sits high on the golden throne!

It is more dazzling than the sun, making people want to kneel down and worship it.

Even at this moment, Anthony felt that the so-called god of war paled in comparison to him.

'What kind of ability is this?'

Anthony and Aaron exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Even though Anthony was very learned and had read extensively since childhood, he had never seen a punch that could directly attack the mind!

"Stand up, everyone, and continue!"

Luo Xia felt guilty when he thought of the Regent's disappointed look.

It's just about improving the Extreme Squad's strength, right? Rorschach accepted!

Over the next few hours, dull thuds and screams echoed throughout the training room.

Rorschach did not use his full strength, but instead used his combat skills and the Emperor's Intimidation to constantly push the physical and mental limits of the four people.

After all, only when a person is truly on the verge of life and death can they unleash their greatest potential.

……

It was late at night.

As the day's special training came to an end, the members of the Extreme Team had all fallen into a deep sleep.

After washing away the sweat, Luo Xia lay on the bed, his consciousness sinking back into the 'Emperor's Black Workers' Hut'.

[Reserve Salamander Warrior]

[Skinning Quest Progress: (333/400)]

As he watched the skinning task nearing completion, Rorschach's eyes gleamed with intense desire.

"Sixty-seven left! After this job, I can get promoted!"

"No pain, no gain!"

"Let's go, brothers!"

After giving himself a pep talk, Luo Xia skillfully picked up his peeling knife and began his day's overtime work.

After yesterday's efforts, Rorschach once again completed the 20-time trigger progress of 'Nurgle's Divine Skill', successfully obtaining 2 free attribute points.

Therefore, Rorschach's base stats have now reached:

[Attributes: Strength 3.0, Constitution 3.2, Agility 3.0, Spirit 4.0]

Strength +0.2! Constitution +0.2! Agility +0.3! Spirit +1.3!

Therefore, at this moment, with the support of Agility as high as 3.0 and Spirit as high as 4.0, it is a powerful combination.

Rorschach's hands moved with lightning speed, the blade of the skinning knife gliding swiftly across the beast's carcass, following the muscle fibers without a single wasted movement.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

Just three minutes later, a complete and flawless animal hide was perfectly peeled off by Rorschach.

[The 'Katachan Jungle Warrior' has expressed extreme appreciation for your skinning skills! Grants an additional +3 Profession Experience!]

[Occupation: Reserve Salamander Warrior]

[Level: 0 (7/10)]

"Cool!"

Seeing the experience bar on the system panel suddenly surge, Luo Xia's hands moved even faster.

One, two, ten, fifty...

Rorschach was completely absorbed in the skinning work. When he got really into it, he even incorporated the power generation techniques from the "Windbreaker Sword Technique" that Cliff had taught him that day into his sword swings.

It could be said that after so many days of skinning, Rorschach had come to regard this as a form of spiritual practice.

As time ticked by, and the sky outside began to lighten with the first hint of dawn,

Finally, Rorschach completely skinned off the last beast's pelt.

Looking at the neatly stacked animal hides in the system space, Rorschach let out a long breath.

at last……
