The golem unleashed a relentless onslaught of powerful attacks against Alan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Alan, having comprehended the secrets of [Blade Spirit], exhibited an extraordinary mastery of swordsmanship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the stone golem possessed the combat strength of a tier-gold mage, Alan's every strike was timed perfectly to block the heavy and powerful blows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the golem completely overpowered him in terms of tier, Alan's growing proficiency in [Blade Spirit] allowed him to hold his ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he combined this skill with magus techniques, he could even defeat this clumsy early-stage tier-gold golem!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For someone at tier-iron level 10 to face off against an early-tier-gold opponent and hold his own—such a feat would be considered unbelievable if word got out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan unleashed another whirlwind-like attack, evading the golem's defenses and landing a precise blow on its chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp metallic clang echoed, and the golem staggered backward, a pale scar now visible across its chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the stone golem dissolved into nothingness. Alan wiped the sweat from his brow and smiled in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The journey to the Imperial Capital had already proven immensely rewarding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only had he mastered the Insightful Heart, but he had also comprehended [Blade Spirit].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His combat strength had soared significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through intense battle, Alan's understanding of [Blade Spirit] had deepened further, affirming the black-robed woman's claim that it was vast and profound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could master it, he would eliminate a crucial weakness of magus: the vulnerability to swift, close-range attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While magus could manipulate magical elements at great speed, some prodigies could strike even faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan vividly remembered his duel with Alice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharpness of her longsword remained etched in his memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her strikes were not only astonishingly fast, but even when he managed to defend in time, they were nearly impossible to parry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, as a fully-fledged swordsman combining swordsmanship with magus techniques, Alan felt he might finally have a chance against her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, the black-robed woman had mentioned that Alice, with her unique bloodline, had not even used her full strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The duel that appeared to be a draw had, in fact, been Alice holding back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, however, Alan believed he was ready to face her again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought filled him with anticipation for Lioncrest Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After quickly wiping off his sweat, Alan exited the infernal realm, where he had been training for the day, and stepped out of his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he opened the door, Alan saw Carter, who had arrived earlier with an assortment of potions and fruits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabella sat nearby, listening to Carter recount stories and occasionally adding her own comments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Carter saw Alan, his face lit up with excitement, and he rushed over as if seeing a celebrity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alan! Alan! I know my talents are pretty average, but could you give me some pointers now and then? At least, when I enter Lioncrest Academy, I'll have something to show for it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grinned widely, standing in front of Alan like an eager disciple, his eyes brimming with fervor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Alan had returned to his room, Carter had been waiting outside, hoping for a chance to meet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing from Isabella that Alan was upgrading, Carter had patiently waited, bringing gifts as a token of goodwill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan glanced at the fruits and training potions Carter had brought, then at his sister, who seemed amused. He nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When there's an opportunity, I wouldn't mind sparring with you on swordsmanship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carter's eyes lit up. \"Thank you, Alan! I knew you were approachable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, as if remembering something, Carter added, \"Oh, Alan, my father wants to meet you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Carter could elaborate further, Harris entered the room with a warm smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alan, I hope you don't mind me dropping by uninvited,\" Harris said apologetically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan waved dismissively. \"Head, you're too polite. I got caught up in upgrading and lost track of time. I should be the one apologizing for keeping you waiting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harris glanced at Alan, noting the heat radiating from him and the sweat glistening on his brow. He sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alan, your strength clearly comes from more than just talent. I've told Carter before that becoming a renowned strongman requires both talent and perseverance. Perseverance, in fact, is even more important. Carter doesn't even have the willpower to stick to a diet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan chuckled and glanced at Carter. \"Carter's talent is actually quite good. He's just a bit too relaxed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harris shook his head. \"He's hopeless. But enough about him. We'll be arriving at the Imperial Capital in three hours. Do you have any friends or family there, Alan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan shook his head. It was his first time visiting the Imperial Capital, and he had no connections there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harris nodded as though expecting this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Imperial Capital is vast. Without acquaintances, it can be difficult to navigate. If you don't mind, I have a manor in the city where you can stay temporarily. Once the Lioncrest Academy evaluations are over, we can discuss your next steps. What do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan thought for a moment before nodding. \"I'd appreciate the help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No trouble at all,\" Harris replied with a wave of his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, you probably know a lot about Lioncrest Academy, right?\" Alan asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Carter had given him a brief overview earlier, Harris, as the guild leader, likely had more accurate and detailed knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harris nodded. \"The guild has collaborated with Lioncrest Academy before, so I do know a bit more than most.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lioncrest Academy is similar to the Church of Steam and Magic in some respects; both are massive organizations spanning multiple kingdoms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, Lioncrest Academy focuses more on student cultivation. It's a quintessential research academy, highly revered across the kingdoms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the Plantagenet Kingdom, it's no different. Lioncrest Academy attracts the kingdom's top geniuses and individuals from prominent families. It's the most prestigious and powerful academy in King Charles' realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Joining this academy doesn't just mean receiving guidance from the best mentors; it also means being marked with the Lioncrest Academy emblem. From then on, whether you join the military, enter politics, or delve deeper into magical studies, it will open countless doors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Alan began to understand the immense reputation of Lioncrest Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beyond the knowledge and hidden benefits, every student accepted into Lioncrest Academy is a standout—leaders in their regions. It's a place to meet like-minded peers and build vast connections within the academy itself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is something every royal family values deeply. Almost all princes and princesses throughout history have been Lioncrest Academy alumni.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan nodded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magical cultivation required immense resources, and connections were invaluable. The right friends could offer insights that saved months of arduous training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, connections could provide access to potions, staffs, magical artifacts, and secret realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference between having connections and lacking them was monumental.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the academy's internal workings, once you're there, the senior students will guide you through everything,\" Harris explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan suddenly thought of something and asked, \"Head, does this mean Duke Alice is also a student of Lioncrest Academy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harris shook his head, his expression filled with rare admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Duke Alice was never a student at Lioncrest Academy. Her talent is so exceptional that even the academy's headmaster was astounded. The headmaster personally invited her to join, but she declined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She felt the academy had nothing to teach her and didn't want to waste her time there. Instead, she preferred to travel the world, challenging prodigies wherever she went.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harris' eyes gleamed as he continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Her strength, talent, achievements, and character are all beyond reproach. The headmaster granted her the honorary title of mentor. Technically, she's a mentor, not a student.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1324,"2026-06-06T15:56:16.256Z",1,"novelbin.me","52950023eb96e25478d48a984e9cda04a0e58e34d2427791fa6a721e82a65583","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-492","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-490",734,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-cover.jpg"]
