Hail the King

Chapter 785: Breaking the Cocoon and Turning into A Butterfly (Part One)

In terms of spirit energy cultivation, Dessler was a rare genius.

This was his first-time encountering spirit energy, but he instantly grasped this type of energy which was even foreign to experienced warriors and mages.

When Fei demonstrated his spirit energy, he quietly planted a seed in Dessler’s head. He was hoping that after this blind boy started cultivating spirit energy, the latter would one day reach a certain level and activate this seed, obtaining a significant growth in spirit energy and becoming a powerful master.

However, to Fei’s surprise, Dessler sensed the existence of this seed after a few minutes and activated it quickly.

Right now, Fei completely retracted all his spirit energy and just watched.

Dessler’s body was still floating in the air, and the spirit energy that was around him started to grow at a shocking speed.

Level 3…

Level 9…

Level 15…

Level 25…

Level 40…

Level 75…

Level 110…

This rapid increase was shocking for Fei to witness. Even when Fei tried his best and increased his spirit energy by using the techniques recorded on that mysterious purple scroll and passing through those high-level magic arrays outside of St. Petersburg, his improvement speed was still inferior to Dessler’s right now. In a sense, Dessler’s spirit energy growth was beyond the realm of mortals!

“This kid… is a monster!”

Fei gradually calmed down from the initial shock. Then, he started to analyze why this was happening.

This blind boy had been hit with misfortunes since he was born. Just like what he said, he used ten years to calm himself down and accept his fate, and he spent four years to observe the world around him with his heart. He only did those two things in 14 years.

However, those two things were the basic foundations for cultivating spirit energy.

Since Dessler couldn’t see the world around him, he wasn’t fooled or allured by the lights and fanciness in the world. Also, the pains that he suffered through tempered his mind and made his spiritual world very pure.

In fact, for all these years, Dessler had been cultivating spirit energy using the most primitive, most natural, and purest way. However, since he lacked a technique to utilize and move his spirit energy, he couldn’t do anything.

Fei only provided him with the tools that could help him control and use his spirit energy.

Then, everything else went smoothly.

It was that simple.

Level 150…

Level 180…

Level 220…

Level 260…

It was clear that Dessler was in a mystical enlightened state. An invisible energy surrounded him and reflected the lights in the tent. The thin strands of spirit energy floated around him and slowly formed a cocoon, wrapping him inside.

This was an opportunity for Dessler to break the cocoon and achieve rebirth! Strands of terrifying power started to move outward, and the strength of the spirit energy also continued to climb at an impressive speed.

Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

Invisible energy waves instantly spread outward.

Finally, the King’s Tent expanded under this power and exploded. The shattered cloth and broken iron poles flew in all directions quickly, and they drew many bright sparks in the sky while grinding against air.

This sudden change shocked everyone else in the campsite.

Fei moved his mind, and golden energy flames rushed out and formed a giant golden energy sphere, protecting Dessler in it. It blocked off all potential distractions just in case that this boy would be interrupted during his enlightenment and miss this rare opportunity to increase his strength.

Then, the king dashed out and appeared in the campsite.

“It is alright! Go back to your positions.”

Seeing that the king was unharmed, the others calmed down. After bowing at Fei, they returned to their respective positions.

…

Quickly, one night passed by.

The members of the Sea Tribe who were lurking around in the seawater seemed to be up to something. However, they didn’t attack last night and waited.

According to the information brought by Pierce and Drogba, who were both Moon-Class Elites, after they patrolled around the island, it seemed like this entire island named [Blood Crime] was surrounded by the troops of the Sea Tribe. There were at least 200,000 low-level members of the Sea Tribe around the island.

This was one reason why the Sea Tribe was feared; there were just too many of them.

Fortunately, everything was within expectation.

-Second day morning-

When it was close to noon, Dessler who was in the enlightened state finally woke up.

That layer of spirit energy cocoon around the boy instantly shattered when he opened his eyes as if someone smashed a piece of glass. Under the sunshine, the brightest smile appeared on Dessler’s face.

Since he had cultivated spirit energy, he was able to open his eyes for the first time in his life! Although his eyes didn’t recover and become normal, burning lights shot out of his eyes that should be spiritless.

Even the eyes of an ordinary person couldn’t be this flashy and bright.

Dessler was able to ‘see’ now!

His spirit energy became his third eye, and it expanded outward and enveloped the area around him. If he wanted to, he could get a clear print of the things that were happening within six kilometers of him. In fact, his spirit energy was better than the eyes of ordinary people!

“His spirit energy reached level 500 in one night? Damn! This is shocking! How can I be compared to this?” Even though Fei was prepared, he was still shocked by the result that Dessler achieved.

This level of spirit energy was on par with Eight-Star Warriors and Mages!

This was the 14-year-worth of accumulation that Dessler had racked up.

He was intelligent to begin with, and now he finally got his moment to shine!

“Thank you, Sir! I, Dessler, use the honor and dignity of my family name, Buenos, to swear my loyalty to you! The direction that your sword points is where I shall move toward, your wishes shall be my obligations, and I shall use my life and soul to protect your eternal honor!” Dessler single-kneeled in front of Fei and swore his loyalty sincerely.

Fei didn’t expect this boy to be so determinate. After a short hesitation, he accepted this boy’s loyalty.

Since all the villagers on this [Blood Crime] Island were killed, Dessler lost all his loved ones. Fei could tell that this boy was now seeing him as a master and a fatherly figure after these events, and he couldn’t reject him.

Staying with Chambord and becoming a Chambordian was probably the best bet for Dessler who had never been outside this island.

At this moment, Fei even came up with Dessler’s title in the Chambord Kingdom.
