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

But as long as one is loyal...

"Alright, that's enough with the sentimental remarks."

Luo Xia clapped his hands, drawing the attention of the four people. A kind smile appeared on his face as he slowly spoke:

"The grueling training week has only just begun; you're still a long way from doubling your strength!"

"Therefore, in order to help you improve your strength, I have decided to teach you the 'Flowing Step' and 'Wind-Breaking Sword Technique' that Master Cliff taught me."

Upon hearing Luo Xia's words, the four were first taken aback, then their faces lit up with ecstatic joy.

After all, apart from Anthony, none of them had received formal training in knightly skills.

Moreover, Rorschach is going to teach him the skills personally passed down by Master Cliff!

Although it's just the basics, it's still hundreds of times better than figuring it out on their own!

"Captain! You are truly our second parent!"

Harlan was so excited he almost knelt down before Rorschach, after all, he was considered to have neither talent nor influence in the Extreme Squad.

As the second son of a baron, his status was inferior to that of Anthony of the Earl's family and Ryan of the Viscount's family.

In terms of talent, he can't compare to the somewhat talented Aaron or the unparalleled captain Rorschach.

It's fair to say that he's the weakest member of the Extreme Team.

But it was precisely because he joined the Extreme Team that Harun felt that his current strength was among the best of all the freshmen!

So there's absolutely nothing wrong with what he said; Rorschach is truly like a second parent to him!

Don't be too happy yet.

Luo Xia simply waved his hand, his smile growing even brighter.

"There are no shortcuts to mastering a skill, only sweat and hard work! So, starting today! In addition to basic physical training, you will have to practice the 'Wind-Breaking Sword Technique' a thousand times every day, and run the 'Flowing Step' until you are exhausted!"

"Now, let's begin!"

With Rorschach's order, the Extreme Team once again plunged into the hellish week plan devised by Rorschach.

Seeing this, Cliff was very pleased. It could be said that among the entire Squire Six, only Rorschach had truly fulfilled the duties of a squad leader.

The other party may not even know about the hidden indicators for the new student assessment two months later.

But it is precisely because of this that the responsibility of a team leader is so valuable.

Cliff, thinking this, slowly walked to Rorschach's side, looked at the four people practicing push-ups, and said in a deep voice:

“Delan’s teacher is Barton of the Blood Axe Knights, a Grand Knight. Although he is not in Aslade City now, you have crippled his disciple, and he will come looking for trouble for you sooner or later.”

"Are the Blood Axe Knights stronger than Graymane?" Rorschach asked, equally puzzled.

"Just a second-rate knightly order."

Cliff shook his head upon hearing this. Only the other four could compare to Greymane. What trash was the Blood Axe Knights?

"That's settled then, we'll be counting on you then, Mr. Cliff."

Rorschach patted Cliff on the shoulder and chuckled.

"Haha, you little rascal, you know how to find me work."

Cliff smiled, a sense of relief in his heart; Rorschach was treating him like one of his own.

"Hehe, I'm not bragging, but the moment Patton hears my name, he'll be running away with his tail between his legs!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Cliff is the strongest!"

Chapter 47 Exquisite Skill (Please read on, please vote, thank you meow!!!)

Over the next few days, the Extreme Team fully immersed themselves in the Devil Week training mode created by Rorschach.

In the morning, they attend Gwen's theory classes, in the afternoon they take Cliff's knightly lessons, and in the evening, it's extra training time for the Extreme Team.

In large-scale military operations, strict military discipline is essential!

Let alone a small team?

Therefore, from weighted long-distance running to extreme push-ups, from squat frog jumps to pull-ups, Rorschach was extremely serious about every training exercise. Anyone who tried to slack off or cheat would be put to the test by his 'Emperor's Iron Fist'!

"Anthony! Your swordplay is too flashy! A sword is for killing, not for showing off!"

"A tricky angle! Even faster speed! Break the wind! Break the wind! How can you break the wind if you're not fast!"

"Aaron! Why are you like a turtle when you pick up a shield! Charge! Don't you know what Bull Charge is? With a physique like that, why are you acting like a girl!"

"And you two! Harlan! Ryan! Are you disabled? Your 'Flowing Steps' look like those of an old skeleton! Are your limbs uncoordinated? Are you trying to waltz on the battlefield?"

Luo Xia, like the strictest instructor, paced back and forth among the group with his hands behind his back, looking quite serious.

After all, with a mental strength of 5.0, Rorschach could easily perceive the slightest error in everyone's movements and give reasonable corrections.

At first, Anthony and his companions complained endlessly, after all, as noblemen, they had never suffered such hardship before.

So after training every day, apart from Aaron, who was in good physical condition, the other three were exhausted and lay on the bed like dead dogs, not wanting to move at all.

But as time went on, the group was horrified to discover that their bodies were getting stronger at an incredible speed.

The previously insurmountable bottleneck in the life force cycle began to loosen after repeatedly breaking through the body's limits.

The originally stiff and awkward sword moves and footwork have gradually become part of muscle memory through tens of thousands of repetitions.

They could clearly feel that they were truly undergoing a complete transformation!

This is the power of hard work and sweat!

"Captain, you're amazing!"

"I've broken through again!"

On the third night of Hell Week, after finishing his last set of crunches and drinking Rorschach's specially made "single combat drink," Harlan felt a jolt throughout his body.

A faint fluctuation of life force emanated from Harun's body. Although it was still unstable, it was indeed the fluctuation of life cycle breaking through to the eighth level!

In just two days, he broke through four layers of life cycle, a speed that Harun would never have dared to imagine before.

But under Rorschach's guidance, he did it!

"Not bad, not bad. Now all that's left is for Aaron and Anthony to double their strength."

Seeing this, Luo Xia also grinned.

In just three days, he successfully helped Harlan break through to the eighth level, Ryan to the seventh level, Anthony to the seventeenth level, and Aaron to the thirteenth level!

This naturally involved their hard work and sweat, but it also owes much to the investment of the great emperor.

That's right.

In order to allow the group to replenish their energy after their extreme training, Rorschach generously contributed his own "Extreme Warrior Individual Combat Rations".

Of course, to prevent the group's bodies from being unable to withstand the energy in the energy cubes, Luo Xia thoughtfully added water, turning the energy cubes into energy drinks. This not only made them more convenient, but also had an effect that far exceeded Luo Xia's expectations.

It can only be said that even though this is a white-quality energy cube, the technology and craftsmanship inside it far surpass that of this world.

'Sure enough, you need protein powder with your workouts, otherwise you won't have the energy!'

Luo Xia picked up his own cup, took a sip, and immediately felt full of energy!

Another piece of bad news has hit the fitness world!

"Keep up the good work! Judging from your progress, doubling your strength would be a piece of cake!"

Luo Xia clapped his hands, reminding the others not to slack off, as temporary progress meant nothing.

Now they must continue to make endless progress to prove themselves!

……

"Jingle bells, jingle bells..."

[Ding! Forging failed, but you have learned from the failure. Forging skill proficiency +5!]

[Forging Hands lv1: (25/100)]

[Ding! You have successfully forged a decent Extreme Warrior Chest Armor. Professional Experience +1]

【Job Level 1: (17/100)】

【'Ultraman Armor' Quest Progress: (37/300)】

Late at night, Coach Luo, who had been busy all day, entered the "Emperor's Black Workers' Hut" again and began a wonderful night.

A forging hammer, a forging furnace, one night, and a miracle!

"Awesome! I love blacksmithing!"

Rorschach, shirtless, held a heavy forging hammer and rhythmically struck the red-hot metal on the forging table.

Hearing the notification from the intelligent system, I was overjoyed.

The feeling of being able to directly see your own improvement is simply amazing!

Moreover, since acquiring the skill [Forging Hands], Rorschach discovered that he seemed to have an innate talent for forging.

Even the increased proficiency resulting from forging failures allowed Luo Xia to more directly experience this talent for limitless progress.

But Rorschach was not satisfied with this.

Because he had taught several people the "Flowing Water Steps" and "Wind-Breaking Sword Technique" these past few days, Luo Xia had gained a deeper understanding of the skills.

Therefore, during the nighttime forging process, he would often practice the methods of exerting force, which allowed Luo Xia to gain a deeper and deeper understanding of these two skills.

Luo Xia felt that he had already faintly touched the threshold of the 'microscopic' realm.

"The 'Wind-Breaking Sword Technique' emphasizes speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness; power must be unleashed in an instant, like a whirlwind tearing through the air..."

As Rorschach swung his forging hammer, he silently recited the sword techniques taught by Cliff, incorporating these sword-wielding techniques into every strike of his hammer.

At first, this attempt did not go smoothly.

But Rorschach was not discouraged at all. His mental attribute of 5.0 gave him superhuman learning ability and body control.

After each failure, Rorschach could instantly analyze the reason for the failure and make adjustments for the next swing.

"This is the benefit of having strong mental power. Some things that were originally quite difficult for me have become obvious once my mental power is high."
