Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Hilude’s Astonishing Talent

Bloodbeard Frederick is clearly a knight who has taken honor, justice, and punishment to the extreme.

Such people are somewhat extreme in character, but in fact, they are easier to control, as it’s just a matter of taking advantage of the situation.

Therefore, Su Li was in a joyful mood as he cuddled his little maid for a nap until 3 p.m., before getting up to wash his face with cold water. With his spirits high, he hugged the little maid’s soft waist and gave her a hard kiss on her red lips, saying, ”Avril, wait at home for me to bring back good news!”

It was early spring now, the breeze was warm and mild. As he pushed open the door, a refreshing wind blew in, making his mood even better.

Su Li was still thinking about where to find Knight Schwartz when he unexpectedly found Knight Schwartz standing under a tree in front of his room with Hilude and Reve. Both beautiful women, usually with magnificent busts, now wore chain armor and wielded iron swords, so the usual rhythmic motion was nowhere to be seen.

Su Li was very dissatisfied with this and asked, ”Shouldn’t you be sweating it out in training at this time? What are you doing here?”

The female attendant, dressed in a bright red training outfit, had beads of sweat sliding down her fair and ample chest, glistening brightly. This was the scene Su Li wanted to see.

Knight Schwartz, far from his usual lethargic self, was even more excited than Su Li, his tone full of enthusiasm: ”Young Master, you were right! Hilude is simply a genius! Her talent is astonishing, she’s an extraordinary training prodigy seen once in a millennium! I only taught her once, and she grasped the key to the breathing technique! It took her less than two hours to fully run through the entire set of breathing techniques. She even taught Reve, enabling her breakthrough as well.”

Su Li’s eyes widened instantly, what do you call a surprise! What the f*ck is a double surprise!

Su Li knew there was a gap between people, but he never imagined the gap between a genius and an ordinary person could be so great. His former self practiced diligently for over ten years without a breakthrough. He had been working hard for six months since his transmigration and still couldn’t find the path.

And yet Hilude truly mastered the breathing technique in just two hours? Is this what you call a Champion Knight? That’s just like Huang Rong!

Being praised like this made Hilude blush slightly, and she asked shyly, ”Didn’t Young Master Su Li say this was simple? Just adjust your breathing and it’s fine.”

Su Li turned to look at Hilude, you actually believed what I said? That was a strategy, treating you like a kid. Theoretically, as long as you don’t tell a child how difficult something is and keep training, the goals they can achieve are enough to shock adults.

But I didn’t expect you to actually do it!

Su Li then cleared his throat, gathering his shock, and said, ”That’s right. Hilude, mastering the Knight’s Breathing Technique should be as easy as breathing. Would you be proud of being able to breathe? You must continue to work hard and not become complacent due to a little achievement. I hope you can break through soon, as a Champion Knight or even a Divine Chosen Knight should be your goals.”

Hilude now completely trusted Su Li, not doubting a word he said. She didn’t even know what a Divine Chosen Knight meant. She only knew that everything Young Master Su Li said came true, undeniable facts. So upon hearing this, she nodded heavily: ”Yes! Young Master Su Li, I will definitely train hard and strive for a breakthrough! I will not disappoint you.”

Reve was a cute little girl with a bun-like face. Compared to Hilude’s subtlety, she leaned more towards a sunny and adorable demeanor, with a touch of youthful looks and a voluptuous figure. But at this moment, she was shocked by the words ”Divine Chosen Knight” to the point of being unable to think, her mouth agape as she stared in disbelief at the confident Hilude in front of her. A Divine Chosen Knight! How could they talk about such a term so casually?! Beyond the Divine Chosen Knight is the Legendary Knight, each leaving an indelible mark in the annals of history.

Could she have been wrong all along, thinking that training was simple all along? In reality, it’s not difficult at all! Otherwise, there really is no reasonable explanation for why she couldn’t break through after nearly five years of training. She felt she could almost touch the verge of a breakthrough but never succeeded. But after Hilude arrived and guided her for a mere ten minutes, she successfully broke through!

This made Reve too afraid to speak, fearing her understanding of training was incorrect.

Then Su Li stepped forward, patting Reve’s shoulder, and said, ”Reve, you must also work hard. Make being an Elite Knight or a Champion Knight your goals.”

”Oh, oh, Young Master, I know, I will definitely work doubly hard.” Reve nodded like a wooden chicken. It wasn’t until Su Li turned away that she realized what she had agreed to! A Champion Knight! Is this something she could dare to hope for? Previously, she didn’t even dare to dream of becoming an Elite Knight! Becoming an official knight and using the bloodline power had been her life’s pursuit.

”Alright, today is a day of joy and harvest. You can stop training for a while and come with me to do something. We are going to meet Knight Frederick.” Su Li turned and asked Knight Schwartz, ”My Chief Knight, do you have any connections with Frederick?”

Although Su Li hadn’t mentioned that bet again, Schwartz had long been fully convinced by him. Without Young Master Su Li’s persistence, these two women could never have become Apprentice Knights.

This is truly a discerning eye!

With Young Master Su Li’s ability, even if he recruited ordinary people for training, he could assemble a sizable Knight Legion. This journey to the Border Prince’s Territory might just set off a grandiose epic expedition.

Thus, Schwartz was very concerned and immediately replied, ”I was in the same squadron as Knight Frederick in the Red Night Knight Order, so we have some connections.”

”To what extent are these connections?”

”I blocked two axes from beastmen for him, and he blocked a headbutt for me. It’s nothing; during our Red Night Knight Order’s conquest of the Thorny River Valley, we fought countless wars against the beastmen. Those who survived have some life-and-death camaraderie.”

Oh boy, that’s a heck of a connection!

With this connection between Knight Schwartz and Frederick, Su Li was even more confident in persuading Frederick. So he donned fine clothes, mounted his horse with flair, and led his group straight into the Knight Training Camp.

Seeing his high-spirited demeanor, many people in the Knight Training Camp turned to look, some even voicing surprise.

”Huh? Is that Young Master Su Li? I heard he’s going to the Border Prince’s Territory to pioneer a territory. Is he here to recruit?”

”Yes, that’s Young Master Su Li. But how does he have so many followers, one Elite Knight, and two Apprentice Knights!”

”Did something happen that I wasn’t aware of? Wasn’t Young Master Su Li just an Apprentice Knight himself? How can he have so many attendant Apprentice Knights!”

There were those shocked, and then there were those filled with jealousy and hostility.

”Tch, just a piece of trash. Which fool would be blinded by mindless enthusiasm and follow him?”

”Haha, you’re right. I heard the third young master is going to be appointed a Kingdom Knight because of his military achievements. At such a young age, he already leads a Knight Order squadron, fighting battles and winning commendations. Now that’s a noble worth following.”

”Come on, let’s set up a betting pool. Bet on how many people Su Li can ultimately recruit? I bet one gold coin that he can’t recruit even one!”

”Count me in. I bet 1 gold coin he can’t even recruit an Elite Knight!”

”Count me for one gold coin, he won’t recruit anyone. I don’t believe any Elite Knight would be blind enough to follow such trash to pioneer a territory. Seeing beastmen, they’ll probably have to clean up after this waste of a young master!”
