Neither of them needed something like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Dalko...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That young lord was already practicing his family’s own body-tempering Secret Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, after some thought, Sean was the only one who seemed like a good fit for this body-tempering Secret Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His dear friend came from a humble background, just like him. And while Sean had won Beckham’s favor, it was hard to say if Beckham would ever teach him this kind of Secret Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there was also Bronson...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But given that scholar’s obsessive focus on his research, he probably wouldn’t be very interested in Body Tempering...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An idea struck Roland as he thought of Bronson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Maybe I could give this Secret Silver Body Tempering Technique to Mr. Bronson for his research? Who knows, the scholar might come up with an unexpected surprise for me...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roland, we’re friends. I don’t need any gifts to teach you my skills, but...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sean trailed off, looking confused. He had just seen Roland raise the parchment, only for his friend’s eyes to lose focus. \"What are you holding?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember that assassin we ran into in the forest?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roland snapped out of it, spreading the parchment on the wooden table and beckoning Sean over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sean’s brow furrowed in thought before he suddenly shot out of bed, his fists clenching unconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was that bastard Marco! Oh yeah, Roland, what happened to him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roland raised an eyebrow and waved his hand dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not important. Come take a look at this first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sean obediently leaned over the table and studied the parchment intently for a good while before scratching his head in embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roland, you know... I... I can’t really read all these words...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I almost forgot...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roland slapped his forehead. He had just remembered that his dear friend was barely literate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he stopped beating around the bush and said it outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a Body Tempering Technique!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Body Tempering... Wait!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sean’s eyes shot wide open, and it looked as if his curly brown hair was standing on end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean... this is a Secret Technique that Knights use for Body Tempering?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roland pounded his own solid chest, which produced a dull thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How else do you think I got a build like this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sean never doubted Roland’s word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he couldn’t read the words, he still cradled the parchment as if it were some priceless treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scenes from adventure novels flashed through his mind, and a fervent glow ignited in the unassuming young man’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that fervor soon began to fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked away uncomfortably, gently placed the parchment back on the table, and stammered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ro... Roland, this gift is too much. I... I can’t accept it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his best friend squirm, Roland couldn’t help but chuckle as he clapped him on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s this? Do I have to give some big, heartfelt speech about our friendship, and then we can hug it out and have a good cry before you’ll accept this gift?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well... that won’t be necessary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sean rubbed his eyes, which were starting to burn, and gave an embarrassed smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case... I won’t be polite about it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that’s more like it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roland nodded in satisfaction. He then took the herbs and tools he had already prepared from his bag and skillfully began grinding the ingredients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his current skill level, preparing this basic Potion was child’s play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short while later, the silver liquid was evenly applied all over Sean’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roland... this feeling... HISS!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sean sucked in a sharp breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roland leaned back leisurely in his wooden chair, a slight smile playing on his lips as he watched his friend’s face flush red and his veins bulge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The pain is normal. It’ll be over soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of absolute trust in his best friend, Sean clenched his jaw and didn’t make a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the silver Potion began to dry, turning into a grayish-black powder that flaked off his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sean heaved a long sigh of relief. His legs gave out and he collapsed to the floor, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How... do you feel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A complicated look flashed in Roland’s eyes as he gazed at Sean, who looked almost a full size larger after completing the Secret Silver Body Tempering Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he remembered correctly, the first time he’d used the technique himself, his Power Attribute on the panel had only increased by 0.7, with almost no visible change to his appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Sean...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It seems the stronger a Cultivator’s base Constitution, the more significant the effects of the Secret Silver Body Tempering Technique...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lost in his own happy surprise, Sean didn’t notice his friend’s odd reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking a moment to catch his breath, the good-natured young man shot to his feet, subconsciously tensing his muscles. His face was filled with delighted surprise as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roland, this Body Tempering Technique is amazing! I feel like my Power has at least doubled!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As... as long as it worked, that’s good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roland’s throat felt tight, and he quickly poured a glass of water to wet it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, we just need to...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He trailed off, suddenly lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I remember my Power Attribute basically stopped increasing after using the Secret Silver Body Tempering Technique three times. I wonder what Sean’s limit is...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that in mind, Roland continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll keep Refining the Secret Medicine for you until you feel your Power isn’t increasing anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you so much, Roland!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sean excitedly waved his thick hands before clapping Roland heavily on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"HISS!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp, long-forgotten pain that shot through his shoulder made the corner of Roland’s mouth twitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he suddenly started to have second thoughts about his decision to have Sean practice the Secret Silver Body Tempering Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two chatted for a little while longer before climbing into bed and quickly falling asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the crack of dawn the next day, just as the sky began to lighten, Sean hurried off to the barracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roland, meanwhile, strolled through the streets of Wuxi Town, accompanied by Peyton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also made a point of stopping by the Adventurer Guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he expected to master the Long-Handled Skills quickly. If he could also pick up a few quests to slay Demons and fulfill the requirement of killing enemies while Riding, he could successfully complete the class change to [Knight’s Attendant] before leaving for the River Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a place as motley as that, every bit of extra power was another layer of insurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, just as he’d heard, the Demons in Black Pine Forest had all been driven underground by Beckham’s campaign and weren’t coming out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only recent quest to clear out a Demon nest had already been taken by someone unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roland had no choice but to return empty-handed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Oh well. The Riding kill requirement can wait until I get to the River Domain. If time permits, maybe I can try my luck in Songmu Town...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Roland returned to the tavern and started helping Gary out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sun began to set, Sean returned, leading a brown steed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he saw him, the good-natured young man pulled Roland out of town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they reached an open field, he deftly unloaded an assortment of weapons from the horse’s back with his right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Long Spear, a lance, a Long-handled Axe, and a long-handled hammer—the four weapons he was proficient with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The process of teaching the skills went surprisingly smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are shared principles in the techniques for using different weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, with his foundation in [Short-Handled Mastery] and the aid of his [Concentration] Trait, Roland quickly grasped the essentials of these four Long-Handled Weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when he actually mounted the horse to practice, he discovered that wielding Long-Handled Weapons on horseback was far more difficult than he had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>",1372,"2026-06-09T07:01:39.614Z",1,"novelbin.me","cff1458546e13909c0a91f0dc4fb69de4ba8aa009d5ac7b580ce589d1bd5b7e9","knight-from-apprentice-to-the-almighty-chapter-104","knight-from-apprentice-to-the-almighty-chapter-102",216,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fknight-from-apprentice-to-the-almighty-cover.jpg"]
