On a winding path at the edge of the Magical Beast Forest.
"Lord Leo!" Phyllis took out a box and handed it to Leo." I'll give this Blood Pomegranate Stone to you. I only wish to follow you!”
"You have to consider this carefully. This Blood Pomegranate Stone can be said to be exchanged by your master with his life. Any weapon that is mixed with a little will become a divine weapon.”Leo smiled at the girl beside him.
The Blood Pomegranate Stone did not exist in the material plane of the human world. It came from another plane and was so hard that even ordinary gods would find it difficult to destroy it. Any weapon that was mixed with even a little bit of Bloodpomegranate would be difficult to destroy, even if it was a Saint-level expert. From this, one could imagine how hard the Blood Pomegranate Stone was.
However, the difference between this stone and adamantine lay in its weight. adamantine was the best material for forging heavy weapons, while blood pomegranate was the best material for forging light weapons.
"Sir, after this incident, I've thought it through. In the end, strength is king in this world! Even if the Blood Pomegranate Stone was with me, I wouldn't be able to keep it.”Phyllis said calmly," Instead of keeping such a hidden danger by your side, it's better to hand it over to a strong person in exchange for your strength to improve!”
After this ordeal, Phyllis finally understood that fists were the truth in this world, so she desperately wanted to obtain powerful strength.
"Phyllis, I know your desire to become stronger.”Leo smiled and said," But what's the use of following me, a Grand Magus Saint? Although I'm also learning Warrior's Combat Energy, my Combat Energy is only on par with yours. Do you want to learn magic from me?”
"Milord, my master once said that regardless of whether it's battle energy or magic, in the end, all paths lead to the same destination. In the end, one still has to walk the path of comprehending the laws.”Phyllis paused for a moment, then continued," Your Excellency has become a Sanctuary Contender at such a young age. I'm sure you know a lot about this!”
"Pa!" "Pa!" "Pa!"
After hearing Phyllis's words, Leo clapped his hands.""Your master probably hasn't reached the Saint-level yet, right? He actually knows so much about the Saint-level. No wonder he could teach such a genius like you! Since you've said so, I'll accept this Blood Pomegranate Stone. You can follow me from now on!”
The Saint-level was extremely mysterious to the vast majority of ordinary people. Even many Saint-level combatants had yet to comprehend the Laws. Phyllis's master, a mere level-nine warrior, knew so much about Sanctuary-realm, which surprised Leo!
"Little genius!" Phyllis said awkwardly," Compared to you, my lord, I don't dare to call myself a genius…"
Along the way, they walked and chatted. Leo didn't hide his real age. Phyllis was also shocked when she found out Leo's real age.
Mages were a difficult profession to train in, and Leo was already a Saint-level magus at the age of fifteen. This achievement was unprecedented, and it would be difficult for anyone who came later to catch up.
"Lord Leo, let me tell you. Our Yulan Empire has the most experts in the imperial capital. Even a powerhouse of the ninth rank wouldn't dare to do as he pleased in the Imperial Capital. After all, the Temple of Life was located on a tall mountain on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.”Phyllis had become much more enthusiastic ever since Leo had asked her to follow him.
"The Temple of Life?" Leo didn't know much about this. After all, he spent most of his time cultivating. In the original novel he had read in his previous life, there was no mention of the Yulan Empire's power. As such, Leo only knew that there was a High Priest who trained in the Edicts of Life in the Yulan Empire.
Phyllis saw that Leo didn't understand and quickly said,"Lord Leo, you have to know this. The most sacred training ground of our Yulan Empire is the Temple of Life. The High Priest usually only took in one personal disciple every hundred years or even hundreds of years. He had very few personal disciples. However, those who could be accepted as personal disciples by the High Priest were likely to become Grand Magus Saints. However, it was too difficult for the High Priest to take him in as a disciple. Even the High Priest would only take in one in-name disciple every one or two years. So, Lord Leo, you have to be careful when you meet people from the Temple of Life in the future. Even if they killed people, no one would dare to do anything about it.”
Leo knew this very well. People with backgrounds were usually difficult to deal with. This was a common principle in all worlds, and the Yulan continent was no exception.
"Right, Phyllis!" Leo suddenly asked." Has your Yulan Empire recently produced any geniuses?”
Geniuses were people with extremely high talent. These people would have their own unique views regarding the profound mysteries of the Laws. Thus, if he interacted with these people, he would be able to use them as a reference when he was comprehending the Laws in the future.
"A genius?" Firis tilted her head and thought for a moment." The most famous genius of our Yulan Empire is Dixie of the Leon clan. It was said that Dixie was only fifteen years old, but he was already a magus of the fifth rank. However, compared to you, Lord Leo, Dixie is not even worthy of carrying shoes.”
"Dixie?" Leo smiled." This Dixie is barely my classmate. When I was at the Ernst Institute, his name was like thunder to my ears! Haha! However, it's best if you don't mention it to someone who isn't at the Saint-level.”
Dixie was indeed considered a genius in the Yulan continent, but with Leo's current standards, he wouldn't be interested in someone as weak as Dixie.
"Let's not talk about geniuses. What about the older experts of the Yulan Empire?”Leo asked casually.
"An old expert!" Firis frowned and thought carefully." I only know one veteran expert. That is our Yulan Empire's Grand Magus Saint of the wind, Lord Longhaus!”
"You only know Longhaus?" Leo also frowned, but he soon understood.
After all, Firis was still very young and weak. She probably hadn't heard of many peak powerhouses. It was already very good that she knew Longhaus.
" Forget it, it's useless to ask you..." Leo shook his head in disappointment.
He casually chatted with Phyllis. Leo now knew quite a bit about the Yulan Empire, and he had an idea of what to do.
When it was dark, the two of them stopped again and prepared to spend the night.
The bonfire was lit, and Leo took out all kinds of wild animals. Most of them were high-level magical beasts or even Sanctuary-realm magical beasts that Leo had hunted in the magical beast forest. He then took out the more delicious parts of their bodies and stored them in his spatial ring.
" Space ring..." Phyllis was envious when she saw Leo conjure so many delicious dishes out of thin air.
Leo casually took out the hind leg of a Wild Thunder Stormhawk and strung it with a thin iron rod on the fire. Then, he kept turning it and sprinkled some seasoning from time to time. Soon, a fragrance wafted out.
"Firis, you're also a warrior of the seventh rank now. Use your strongest attack on me later!”Leo bit the eagle leg in his hand and said lightly," Don't worry, I won't use magic. In terms of combat energy, I'm only a level-seven warrior now!”
Phyllis's eyes lit up when she heard Leo's words. The reason why she wanted to follow Leo was because she wanted to get his guidance. Even if Leo's warrior level wasn't high, with his identity as a Grand Magus Saint, a few words of guidance from him would be enough for her to use for a long time.
"Yes, sir! Lord Leo!" Firis immediately put down the magic beast meat in her hand and stood up happily.
"Yes! Make your move!" Leo said lightly when he saw that Phyllis was ready.
"Attack?" Phyllis looked at Leo, who was sitting there with a skewer in one hand and a wine gourd in the other." Master Leo?”
"Haha! Don't tell me you think that you can force me to go all out just by using the power of a warrior of the seventh rank!”Leo put down the wine gourd and smiled." If you really think so, then you're very wrong. Although I promised you that I would only use the power of a level-seven warrior, I'm still a Sanctuary-realm warrior. If you can take this wine gourd from my hand, then you win!”
"Since that's the case, then I'll have to offend you!”Phyllis glared at Leo and took a big step forward. She was about a meter in front of Leo. Then, she turned her body and kicked Leo's head with her right leg.
Leo calmly looked at the leg that was kicking at him and slowly extended a finger.
"A finger?" Firis was a little annoyed. Even if you're a Grand Magus Saint, you think you can block my attack with just one finger? Thinking of this, Phyllis couldn't help but put more strength into her legs.
The moment Leo's fingers slowly touched Phyllis 'right calf, Phyllis's eyes were filled with horror.
At this moment, she felt as if the entire space had been sealed. All the strength of her kick seemed to have been absorbed by that finger. Then, it was as if a huge rock was pressing down on her leg, becoming heavier and heavier.
In just a moment, Phyllis lost her balance.
"Pffft ~"
Looking at Phyllis, who was standing at the side with a shocked expression, Leo smiled. He lifted the eagle leg and took another bite. At the same time, he picked up the wine gourd and took a big gulp of wine.
"Is this the Saint-level?" Phyllis got up and stared at Leo with a complicated expression.
She had been looking forward to this battle. After all, Leo had admitted that he only used the strength of a level-seven warrior to fight with her. However, this fight had given her a big blow.
" Yes, and no," Leo answered simply." Actually, reaching Sanctuary-realm is much easier than doing what I did. This is the nomological attack you were looking forward to…"
"This is the law?" Phyllis exclaimed," This is too powerful!”
"Right, this is the law, the law of the earth!”Leo smiled and explained," The law I comprehended is called Gravitational Space. In close combat, as long as you come into contact with me, I can instantly make the opponent's gravity completely lose balance.”
"What a terrifying law! What a terrifying attack!" Phyllis thought with lingering fear.
This kind of attack was too terrifying. In a battle between experts, a moment of mistake could become a fatal flaw. With this ability to control the opponent's gravity and balance, it could be said that he was invincible.
"If that's the case, wouldn't I be invincible?”Phyllis asked in confusion.
"It's not that simple!" Leo shook his head." The law I comprehended has a very low bonus to attack and defense. If I were to encounter an opponent with extremely strong defense, my current attack method would not be able to hurt the opponent at all. If I were to encounter an opponent with extremely powerful attacks, it was very likely that he would be able to give me a fatal blow at the same time as the opponent lost his balance!”
"In the end, the strength of a Saint depends on the level of comprehension of the Laws. For example, if I comprehend the Gravitational Space to its limit, then I might be able to apply a powerful gravity to my attacks in the future, making them extremely powerful. Perhaps I can even form a chaotic gravitational field around my body. This gravitational field will be my perfect defense!”Leo continued.
"I see! " Thank you for your guidance, sir!" Phyllis nodded.”
