Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 836: Chapter 97: Huge Profits from the Radiant Competition Festival

Titus refused to admit defeat, and Su Li was, of course, more than happy to see this. He was willing to keep paying the ransom, and Su Li was eager for him to pay three times over.

That’s a profit of 75 Golden Crowns! It doesn’t take too many knights to pay the full ransom, just ten knights, and that would provide an additional 750 Golden Crowns in a single day, making it exactly 30,000 Golden Crowns a month.

With this income, what would Su Li have to worry about in terms of financial shortages? He could even afford to support Sulande Province and provide assistance to Philis.

However, despite what he said, he did not underestimate the battle. He had to take the methods of the Manan believers seriously.

Titus got up and quickly used a potion to recover his condition, then signaled the servant to submit the ransom to the referee.

After the referee separated the two and ordered the match to begin again.

Titus viciously glared at Su Li, roaring, ”You sneaky scumbag, today I’ll show you the fury of Manan’s Divine Power.”

”Divine Magic: Drowned Face!”

With a rapid prayer, Su Li instantly felt his lungs and nose filled with briny seawater. It was as if the fear and memories of those who drowned in the sea were crammed into his head.

The power of Divine Magic is something that no mortal can resist or evade.

Su Li at this moment was like a drowning person in the sea, unable to make a sound, and his movements became extremely difficult.

Meanwhile, Titus appeared like a Sea Demon drifting in the waves, sneakily moving behind Su Li and thrusting his Trident towards Su Li’s back!

In a flash, the Red Dragon’s Blood within Su Li erupted again, instantly burning away the saltwater in his lungs. Titus was then struck as if hit by a Heavy Hammer, his knees buckling as he knelt heavily behind Su Li.

Titus was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he shouted furiously, ”How is it the same trick again? Aren’t you a rogue? How can you activate your bloodline again so quickly? Aren’t you experiencing any weakness? With such repeated burns of Blazing Blood, why aren’t your blood vessels and body charred?”

Su Li walked over with his Warhammer, looked down at the stubborn knight with his head raised in anger, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, and asked, ”Finished talking? Once you’re done, I’ll start.”

Without waiting for Titus to respond, Su Li swung the Warhammer, fiercely striking his chest. In the next moment, the knight in Dark Blue Armor flew back like a cannonball, slamming heavily into the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

In his dazed state after the fall, Su Li stepped directly on his back again, smiling, ”Is this all the strength of Manan’s knights? Completely inadequate!”

Compared to his usual training, this was simply far too easy.

To quote a famous saying from Earth, the opponent’s performance is not worthy of the rigorous training I’ve undergone.

Su Li has used his Blazing Blood ability during training as well, yet Hilude and Freya almost entirely ignore this ability. Freya, even when wearing Sado’s Brass Bell, at most, her legs would soften, and she’d bite her lips, but it’s unclear whether it’s the influence of his ability or the pull of Sado’s Brass Bell. As for Hilude, completely ignoring his ability and giving him the strictest training.

Even Selanweir, when affected by this ability, could use it to raise her Longsword for a fierce counterattack.

Su Li has faced off against Selanweir more than ten times, each time she attacked with different methods.

Compared to the Sun Goddess Church Knights who emphasized Martial Arts, without a doubt, Manan’s knights were somewhat inferior in combat power.

Su Li, stepping on Titus’s back, asked, ”Don’t you have just one Divine Magic? Then you are not worthy as my opponent.”

Most knights only acquire their first Divine Magic at the Elite Level, but Titus managed to make it through the selections and enter the opening day, so naturally, he was a knight of the Official Knight stage who possessed Divine Magic.

But faced with Su Li’s challenge, Titus’s face turned a mix of blue and white, unable to refute, because his other Divine Magic was ”Fisherman’s Eye!”

”Fisherman’s Eye - You gain a peculiar inspiration enabling you to find the creature you’re looking for in the sea. During casting, you name an ordinary creature, and you’ll know the best location within your sight to find that creature. If you’re fishing, that’s where you should drop the hook; if you’re diving to find shellfish, that’s where you should dive.”

Undoubtedly, this is an important ability for Manan Priests to teach, guiding residents and believers to more efficiently produce at the seaside and riverside, and find Manan’s wealth.

Unlike the Sun Goddess Church, which focuses entirely on war, Manan’s believers greatly need to balance seafaring and production.

So Titus had no choice but to desperately activate his bloodline ability ”Blazing Blood: Fragment Storm,” sending countless diamond-hard ice fragments toward Su Li, each fragment as powerful as a Magic Missile.

But in Titus’s shocked gaze and the cheers of the surrounding crowd, Su Li boldly swung the Warhammer, smashing most of the fragments. Even the fragments that hit Su Li could not cause fatal harm under the robust protection of his Battle Armor.

Su Li calmly took a sip of potion before decisively swinging the Warhammer again, once more knocking the Manan knight to the ground.
