Free Web NovelChapter 829: Chapter 95: Sudden Wealth—Earning Tens of Thousands Daily! A Massive Talent Harvest with Su Li
Su Li eagerly got up and looked towards the knights in the tournament arena. These were the elites of a territory, and their competitive duels basically represented the highest military standard of the Hesse Territory at present.
And at a glance, some outstanding individuals quickly caught Su Li’s attention.
A knight holding a bow was like a mage’s turret, unleashing full firepower. The green Starfield Arrows shot out in clusters, and the dazzling spiritual energy gleamed as brightly as fireworks, instantly drawing the attention of everyone present.
If he faced ordinary elite knights, they wouldn’t even have the chance to approach him before being blasted into pieces.
Yet his opponent remained unfazed amidst such an onslaught. His right foot stomped heavily, shattering the marble platform of the arena. A barrier of rubble appeared in front of him, and his shield shone with golden light, firmly held in front. The green Starfield Arrows collided with the shield, erupting into an earth-shattering explosion.
Su Li clicked his tongue in awe: "Is this the formidable power of a Champion Level?"
At this level, it was truly beyond the realm of ordinary humans, no wonder Champion Level warriors could nearly always fight a hundred on their own.
Hilude introduced to Su Li: "The knight with the shield is our champion knight among the high-level directly affiliated attendants, who broke through to Champion Level under your command. Not much needs to be said about his situation. But the Greenfield Knight using arrows is a rare lone wolf champion knight named Lone Forest Watcher, Bow of the Scorching Sun, Eldric Stephen."
"It’s said he was born in a village on the edge of the Drake Forest, grew up among the Hulin People and Forest Patrols, learning tracking and archery. His family has guarded the forest passes for generations, resisting invasions from beasts and Chaos scavengers. His mother, a renowned herbalist, blended potions with Forest Secret Techniques, gifting him with extraordinary sharp senses and pupils with the pattern of emerald leaf shadows."
"At the age of 12, he used his father’s oak longbow to kill an armored lizard attacking the village, piercing through its eye socket with precision. The lizard’s scales were formed into his first armor, and thus the name ’Greenfield’ spread across the borders."
"Around 18, Alderick participated in cleansing Chaos followers lurking in the forest. He stealthily reached the enemy camp’s core from the treetops, ignited the Chaos Altar with a Starfield Arrow, and shot dead the cult leader priest, dismantling the evil magic ritual. From then on, he earned the title of Bow of the Scorching Sun. Church knights who’ve witnessed his archery all praised that his arrows are like morning light through the forest, piercing through darkness and chaos."
"The most famous and revered battle was stopping the attack at the ’Golden Leaf Pass’. At that time, facing the charge of the Green-skinned Army, Alderick wisely placed paralyzing thistle leaf in front of the army formation, then used Starfield Arrows to scatter the wild grass juice into the air. The juice splashing onto the beastman war pig’s legs caused a massive paralysis effect, leading the beast herd to trample their own defensive line, giving the Imperial Cavalry the opportunity to counter-attack and encircle, aiding in the Empire’s great victory against the green-skins’ invasion."
Su Li looked joyfully at the cloaked knight with a dense beard. Undoubtedly, this was a courageous and wise Sun Goddess Church Knight.
What was even more commendable was that his strength had reached Champion Level!
Although a territory could also mobilize a batch of champion knights to participate in the competition, this didn’t mean Champion Level knights weren’t valuable. In fact, every Champion Level knight was equivalent to a mighty general in an army.
No army could have only one such talent; the more, the better, with mighty warriors like rain.
And if the scope was limited to the Greenfield Knight, in the Hesse Territory, only Alfred, the Leader of the Arrow of Light Knight Order and Beast Hunter, Eye of the Eagle-Falcon, was a Champion Knight. Besides him, no other knights in the large knight order possessed a Greenfield Knight strength at Champion Level.
Although Silvana was exceptionally talented, many held high hopes for her to break through to Champion Level, but no matter how you say it, she still remained stuck at Elites Level for now.
"If this knight could join our territory, there’s no doubt he could significantly enhance our long-range capabilities."
Hearing Su Li’s excited remark, Hilude had to say: "This matter is difficult, my lord. We’ve communicated with Alderick, and he doesn’t intend to leave the Church Knight Order to join the Hesse Territory."
"He said he was accustomed to being a lone wolf, with a war eagle, he preferred the vast sky and the freedom of the forest."
"He also has a war eagle?" That’s an Eagle Rider: "His competition record isn’t 2-16, is it?"
"Not at all." Hilude immediately replied: "On the contrary, he’s very strong. Many knights said they wouldn’t want to fight him while he rides the war eagle, so for fairness’ sake, he can’t ride the war eagle in the arena. Similarly, it wouldn’t be fair if both sides were on horseback, so he steps down from the war eagle and his opponent can’t ride a horse either."
Impressive!
He single-handedly forced the organizers to set up a separate rule for him.
And just as Su Li and Hilude were conversing, the competition on the field had already concluded!
Once the Heavy Knight got off the horse, he appeared somewhat cumbersome. Especially since this Champion Knight tended toward the Earth Attribute, usually relying on the Half Griffin to compensate for his lack of speed. Now, being forced to dismount, he was unable to maneuver, and after several charges failed to utterly defeat his opponent, he was forced to concede with a raised hand.
