Chapter 200 - Four

“Yeah, right. Who needs your money?” Mill muttered as she looked at Moss’s receding figure admiringly. She felt a trace of sweetness in her heart.

Soon after, Moss returned with some potions. “I don’t know which one suits you better, so I brought more than one.” He carefully placed the potions in front of Mill as he spoke.

“You can go ahead and continue training. You don’t have to accompany me while I drink this tiny bottle of high-grade stamina recovery potion. I’ll be fine after a short rest.” Mill returned to being a sweet girl whose tone was soft and gentle.

“You should also have some since its effects are perfect.” Mill handed a bottle of red medicine to Moss.

“That’s okay. I just need to rest for a little while. I just want to see what my limits are.” Moss sat down to practice his qi and blood technique.

He recalled his basic training over the past three days as he practiced. He could not help but sigh. ‘Wealthy families are indeed fortuitous.’

Many influential families only showed others what they wanted others to see, but it was just the tip of the iceberg. Without some understanding, one would not know a wealthy family’s true strength, just like Mill’s family’s secret base.

Although Moss did not know how Mill’s family obtained the advanced training equipment, he could tell they were powerful tools that could improve his speed and agility. He also had unexpected gains from challenging his physical limits.

He realized his physical improvements would become more apparent when he reached his limits but overcame the past. Of course, this attempt had a specific risk—he would get injured if he did not control it well.

Still, Moss had doubled his speed and agility in just three days. In addition, there were also the effects of his Holy Light Strengthening. It was a skill that worked alongside Moss’s knight’s spirit.

It would enhance his skills like Storm Strike and Holy Light Shield. It could also enhance the effects of Holy Belief that his knight’s spirit triggered, which would buff his teammates, allowing the team to attack with formidable strength.

If Moss continuously used Holy Light Strengthening, it would constantly temper one’s spiritual power and increase its speed. It was because he needed to transmit his Holy Belief through his spiritual power.

However, there was a set duration for Holy Light Strengthening. It lasted twenty seconds, increased stats by 30%, and had a cooldown time of five minutes.

Moss was meditating while thinking when he heard a bottle falling. He thought something had happened to Mill, so he quickly opened his eyes. Then he saw Mill staring at him, somewhat absorbed at the moment.

Mill quickly turned away when Moss opened his eyes. Her face was flushed red as she said apologetically, “I-I’m sorry for disturbing your meditation. I accidentally dropped a bottle just now.”

“It’s okay. Fortunately, you’re fine and looking better. Have you recovered fully?”

“Yeah, I have.” Mill became shyer when she heard Moss’s caring words. She quickly changed the topic, “Why don’t we go to another section to practice?”

Moss nodded and stood upright to pull Mill up. She felt much better when she realized Moss had overlooked her awkwardness. Still, her face was red hot.

Shortly after, the duo arrived at the entrance of the Mystic Realm training area. Before Mill could call for Fox, he had already appeared before them.

Fox looked at Moss and asked kindly, “What level Mystic Realm would you like to conquer, Young Master Moss?”

“A six-star Mystic Realm, please,” Moss replied as he bowed.

He had cleared a five-star Mystic Realm a week ago, so he wanted to challenge a six-star realm since his speed and agility had doubled.

Fox was familiar with the place, so he quickly picked a realm and said smilingly, “You can enter any time, Young Master Moss. Oh, this Mystic Realm boss possessed high speed and agility, so please be careful.”

Moss thanked Fox and waved at Mill as he walked toward the bronze door. Mill wanted to follow him, but Fox pulled her back and tried to persuade her, “Miss Mill, this realm is more suitable for knights, so its effects won’t be sound if you went in. You might even affect Young Master Moss’s performance.”

Fox quickly opened the collection folder and chose a suitable Mystic Realm for Mill as he spoke, “This one is more suited for you, Miss Mill.”

Before Mill could speak, a spatial rift with energy fluctuations appeared before her.

“Go on, Miss Mill. I will keep an eye on you and Young Master Moss. He won’t be in danger with me around,” Fox said firmly and patted Mill’s shoulder.

Mill nodded slowly and looked at Moss’s spatial rift reluctantly. After hesitating, she entered her Mystic Realm. She still wanted to go with Moss to conquer the realm alongside him, but considering what Fox said, she had to give up on that idea.

Mill was indeed afraid of getting in Moss’s way and becoming a burden to him. With that thought, she became more determined and only thought of becoming stronger.

…

The six-star Mystic Realm was not as challenging as Moss had imagined. It only took him six hours to complete it and kill the Mystic Realm boss.

Whoosh!

When Moss exited the spatial rift without any scratches or bruises, Fox’s eyes widened as he looked at Moss in disbelief. “Y-Young Master Moss, have you conquered the realm?”

Moss smiled and nodded.

His handsomeness, easy-going attitude, and self-confidence astounded even Fox as the old butler could not help but take a few more glances.

‘What a good-looking kid. Fortunately, nothing bad happened to him,’ Fox rejoiced inwardly.

Fox had fallen asleep for a while, but fortunately, Mill was unaware of it. Otherwise, he would face the young lady’s wrath.

Ding, dong!

A secret door beside the control panel opened. Then a report and a slender black wooden box emerged.

Fox quickly skimmed through the report and said with a slightly trembling voice, “Congratulations, Young Master Moss. You have broken the record and conquered the number two six-star knight’s Mystic Realm in 5 hours, 45 minutes, and 58 seconds.”

Then he sighed and continued, “It’s almost 10 hours faster than the original record, and the previous record holder was 18 years old at that time.”

When Fox said that, Mill happened to exit her spatial rift. “Did you say the previous record holder was 18 years old?!” She noticed Fox’s excited expression and could not help but ask curiously.

She was stunned when she finished reading the report. ‘That’s so cool!’ However, if one looked closely at Mill, one would see her admiration for Moss and her disbelief.

At that moment, a thought formed in Mill’s mind, ‘Will Moss be the record holder for every Mystic Realm we have here?’

Fox was the first to collect his thoughts. He quickly opened the black box, removed a sword with dark red flame patterns, and handed it to Moss.

“Young Master Moss, this is a four-star Red Flame Holy Sword. The Mystic Realm Boss you defeated dropped it. Here, you can use it when you reach level 30.” Fox looked at Moss with appreciation, and his tone was heartfelt.

“It’s nice enough for you all to let me train here. That sword should belong to your family.” Moss did not take the sword but bowed to Fox instead.

“Before my master left, he instructed me to prepare a gift for your visit. I worried about what we should get you for two days, but now I realize you have solved that problem for me. No one is more suited and worthy of this sword than you.”

“That’s right. My father has already spoken, and his words are final. Stop making things difficult for Fox, Moss!” Mill was also urging Moss to take the sword.

Moss could only thank the two and accept the four-star Red Flame Holy Sword.
