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

Upon hearing Rorschach's words, Taylor patted him on the shoulder, smiled, and then asked with a strange look in his eyes:

"But I remember you practiced the 'Fire Serpent Breathing Technique,' right? What was that black flame just now?"

Taylor looked quite puzzled. In the sparring match just now, although Rorschach hadn't hurt him at all, the black flames emanating from that fist had shocked Taylor.

He, a dignified great knight, actually sensed an absolute threat from that black flame.

It felt as if I would be devoured by the black flames if I didn't resist!

"Maybe it's mutated?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia's heart skipped a beat. The Black Sun was a genetic talent bestowed upon him by the Great Emperor Hook, and such a secret could not be revealed.

"After I broke through to the level of a quasi-knight, this fire serpent underwent a sudden change, just like my height, which I found very puzzling."

Rorschach frowned, and asked Taylor with a rather puzzled tone:

"Company Commander Taylor, do you know the reason for this sudden change in me?"

Since you can't find an excuse yourself, just play dumb and pass the problem to someone else!

"Hmm, that might be a mutation. I've seen similar cases in the Church of War."

Taylor chuckled, though he had already deduced the reason for Rorschach's mutation, but that was something he couldn't tell Rorschach at all.

As the last surviving member of the Danix family, and with some kind of sorcerer's bloodline hidden within him, it's best that Rorschach doesn't know about this yet.

"So, the first awakening of the warlock bloodline within Rorschach was during his transformation into a quasi-knight..."

Taylor pondered for a moment, glancing thoughtfully at Rorschach, but decided not to delve into the matter further. He'd rather leave such a headache to the Dean and the Bishop.

Why should a company commander like him be in charge of so many things?

Thinking this, Taylor took out a thick, metal-bound book from his storage ring and handed it to Rorschach, then explained:

"I know you prefer greatswords, but the Church of War doesn't actually have any perfect-grade greatsword combat techniques for this 'Raging Abyss Halberd'..."

"However, the halberd and the greatsword are similar in that they both rely on brute force to overcome any skill. Moreover, with your physique, the pressure you can exert with the halberd will be even greater than with the greatsword!"

With a halberd?

Luo Xia looked at the perfect-level combat technique in his hand, its surface engraved with patterns, and his heart stirred.

In fact, it doesn't matter what weapon he uses. As long as it's a heavy weapon, it can unleash his absolute power in Luo Xia's hands at this moment.

"Great Emperor's Hook, have you seen it?"

"Now that I'm learning how to use the halberd, could you please equip me with a set of Imperial Guard gear?"

Rorschach silently prayed in his heart, hoping that the great Emperor Hook could see his most beloved child's current predicament.

After all, how can one learn halberd techniques without a halberd?

Let's get the Imperial Guards' powered war halberds sorted out!

Since those useless Imperial Guards can't protect the Great Emperor's Hook, then let his absolutely loyal man, the Great Emperor's Holy Fist Rorschach, go!

He promised to take good care of the Great Emperor's hook!

Chapter 78 Luo...Luo Xia, the Deacon (Please read on, please vote, thank you!!!)

"I'm using a battle axe."

Taylor walked to the center of the training room, took out a thick, blood-red battle axe from his storage ring, and looked at Rorschach, saying:

"Battle axes, halberds, and greatswords all belong to heavy weapons, so now I will teach you how to generate power in the basics."

"Keep a close eye on my waist and wrists."

As he spoke, Taylor gripped the blood-red battle axe with both hands and assumed a starting stance.

Then he suddenly swung the blood-red battle axe in his hand, and the surrounding air was instantly cut open by the sharp axe blade, producing a sharp whistling sound.

Rorschach, meanwhile, stared intently at Taylor's movements, quickly memorizing the details of his opponent's exertion.

He then walked to the weapon rack on the side and picked up a training halberd made of fine steel.

"Oh?"

Seeing this, Taylor stopped what he was doing, raised an eyebrow, and watched Rorschach's movements.

Luo Xia followed his example, gripping the halberd with both hands, then using his waist to generate power, quickly transferring all his strength to his arms, and then slashing the halberd out fiercely!

"boom!"

As the halberd was swung out, it immediately produced a loud bang that seemed to cut through the air.

"Good lad, what a genius, such comprehension."

Seeing that this person was using the exact same method of exertion as himself, Taylor was overjoyed and burst into laughter.

No wonder the guild leader and the others love teaching geniuses; it turns out that teaching geniuses skills is such a wonderful thing!

"Again!"

"Stabilize your lower body firmly, without making the slightest movement."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia sheathed his halberd and then swung it out again.

Over the next few hours, Taylor personally instructed Luo Xia on the power generation techniques and some minor moves of the perfect-level combat skill, "Raging Abyss Halberd".

As a great knight wielding a battle axe, Taylor possesses profound expertise in the power of heavy weapon strikes, allowing him to often spot Rorschach's incorrect power application and correct it.

……

That's all for today, we'll continue tomorrow.

Taylor used his life magnetic field to evaporate the sweat from his body, put away his blood-red battle axe, and prepared to leave work.

At this moment, Taylor felt extremely exhausted. Although geniuses learn quickly, this meant that the three-day training program Taylor had prepared was completely exhausted by Rorschach in just one day.

"Teacher, let me see you off."

Seeing this, Luo Xia also put down his halberd, let out a long breath, and followed Taylor's footsteps.

It has to be said that what I learned today is completely equivalent to Rorschach's week of haphazard practice.

Even now, after being instilled with a great deal of combat skills by Taylor, Luo Xia has gained a deeper understanding of Master west Jianxian's sword strike.

"I'll leave it here. See you tomorrow."

Rorschach and Gwen escorted Taylor all the way to the edge of the War Spire before stopping.

"Okay, teacher."

Rorschach nodded and watched Taylor leave, but when he turned around, he saw someone unexpected.

At this moment, in the square outside the War Spire, a figure draped in a gray wolf skin is wandering around.

The other person had obviously heard the conversation, and he smiled slightly at Taylor as a greeting.

Then he looked at Luo Xia, his expression a mixture of relief and complexity. He bowed slightly, performed a standard hand-to-chest salute, and said respectfully:

"Greetings, Steward Luo."

"what?"

Upon hearing Cliff's respectful words, Rorschach's lips twitched.

Is this the pathetic class barrier described by Xun Ge'er?

Now it's actually happening to Rorschach?

"Teacher, are you making fun of me?"

Rorschach immediately stepped forward and grabbed Cliff's arm, saying sincerely:

"I, Rorschach, owe my success today entirely to your meticulous guidance and the breathing techniques you taught me, Professor Cliff!"

"Moreover, a teacher for a day is a teacher for life, so whether it is you or Sister Gwen, you will always be my dearest teacher, Rorschach."

As he spoke, Rorschach raised an eyebrow slightly at Gwen beside him.

Gwen immediately understood, and then smiled, "Cliff, Rorschach isn't one of those ungrateful brats. Even though his status has risen, he still respects us teachers very much..."

As Gwen spoke, her tone gradually softened. Suddenly, she realized that Rorschach seemed to have lost all respect for her lately, instead constantly teasing her during cultivation and meals.

"Is little Rorschach growing up too?"

Upon hearing Rorschach's sincere reply, Cliff's tense face broke into a slight smile.

"I knew my judgment of people was right!"

As he said this, Cliff took out a delicate wolfskin pouch from his waist and stuffed it directly into Rorschach's hand.

"This is what I promised at the beginning of the semester: whoever in our class activates the life cycle first and stands out within three months will be rewarded with knight resources."

Cliff sighed, sounding somewhat helpless:

“I was hoping to use this reward to recruit you into our Graymane Knights, but it seems the Church of War will definitely not let you go.”

"And at this moment, you probably wouldn't even want what I have."

Hearing Cliff's words, Rorschach gripped the wolfskin pouch tightly, his heart filled with warmth.

It can be said that Cliff was the first person to treat Rorschach kindly when he came into this world.

This was naturally due to Rorschach's talent, which came from his hard work and sweat, but even so, Rorschach was still grateful to the other party from the bottom of his heart.

[Ding ding ding! Side quest completed; life force cycle activated, and the reward of the Chaos God Khorne obtained!]

[You've successfully snatched the reward from the heretics! The great Emperor Hook highly praises your efforts and hard work in earning this reward from them!]

[Use barbarians to control barbarians! This is the true path of an emperor!]

[Quest Rewards: 1 Lesser Salamander Enhancement Potion (Blue), 300 Imperial Honor Points, +3 to Imperial Favorability!]

"What the teacher gives me is the best for me as a student."

Rorschach tucked the wolfskin pouch into his coat, then grinned and said:

"I just became a reserve deacon and forgot to inform everyone. In that case, Teacher Gwen, please gather the students of Class Six. Tonight, as the class leader, I will host a banquet in the South District!"

It is said that returning home in wealth and honor is like wearing fine clothes at night.

Since Rorschach has become a reserve deacon of the Church of War, he should naturally treat his classmates to a meal.
