Fantasy Simulator

Chapter 41 - Conflict

“Awakening my Life Seed can wait…” Chen Heng thought to himself as he stood at the training ground.

Awakening a Life Seed was simply too dangerous, and even though Chen Heng had reached the basic requirements to awaken one, it was better not to try it until he was completely confident.

According to this world’s methods, if a Knight wanted to awaken their Life Seed, the best way to do it was to awaken it during battle. Under the pressure of death, their life energy could be stimulated to the extreme, helping them awaken their Life Seed.

However, this kind of method’s success rate was quite low and dangerous.

Even though awakening at a life or death moment sounded quite cool, in actuality, it required one to bet with one’s life.

If they were unable to successfully awaken their Life Seed, they would definitely die.

Moreover, for some people, even if they successfully awakened their Life Seed, if they could not quickly recover from their weakened state after awakening, they would also die.

A slight misstep would cause them to lose their lives.

As such, Chen Heng would not walk this path until he had solidified his foundations.

He was not a person of this world, and it was not like he did not have any other choices.

“Body Forging Technique…” At that moment, the Solid Rock Body Forging Technique’s contents appeared in Chen Heng’s mind.

Chen Heng’s Solid Rock Body Forging Technique was given to him by Liu Yi, and it was the Solid Rock School’s true legacy.

Compared to ordinary Body Forging Techniques, the Solid Rock Body Forging Technique was more powerful and profound. It was just that the conditions it required were stricter as well.

From what Chen Heng knew, unless one reached Body Forging Completion, one would not even have the qualifications to cultivate the Solid Rock Body Forging Technique.

From when Chen Heng had begun this simulation until now, it had been nearly one year. By now, he had gone from a complete novice to Body Forging Completion.

His Knight cultivation had reached a bottleneck, so it was a good time to change focus and turn his attention to the Solid Rock Body Forging Technique.

Chen Heng did not forget his goal.

At the end of the day, he was not from this world and came from a modern society.

Compared to the Knights Breathing Technique, the Body Forging Technique was his foundation and one of the reasons why he had come here.

Initially, apart from gaining Points, Chen Heng’s main goal was to cultivate the Solid Rock Body Forging Technique in this simulation in order to build a foundation for his main body.

It was now time for this.

Thinking to there, Chen Heng’s expression was calm as he silently began to do certain movements.

Time gradually passed.

A few days later, a carriage procession went by and stopped outside a certain manor.

“It looks like your relationship with Princess Olivia is not ordinary…”

Looking at this manor, Chen Heng turned to look at Kelly next to him, a strange expression on his face.

This manor was the one that Kelly had hosted his banquet at.

The banquet that Princess Olivia was holding was evidently at the same place.

“This…” Facing Chen Heng’s gaze, Kelly felt somewhat awkward.

In the end, Kelly could only say, “There is a connection between Princess Olivia and my father…”

He did not say too much and only revealed a bit.

Chen Heng immediately understood what Kelly was trying to say.

It seemed that Xiao and his family most likely supported Princess Olivia.

As such, it was worth ruminating over the purpose of this banquet.

Could it be that Princess Olivia wanted to take this opportunity to bring him to her side?

Chen Heng could not help but think of this.

Of course, on the surface, he seemed just as calm and only gave a slight smile and nodded. He then got off the carriage and slowly walked out.

The outside world was quite bright.

There were many candles burning, illuminating the surroundings.

Chen Heng raised his head and stuck out his chest as he walked forwards.

With Kelly leading him, he walked into the manor.

It was the same place, and most of the decorations were the same. However, most of the people were different.

It was also evident that there were many more guards.

At the last banquet, even though there were many guests, most of them were only sons and daughters of nobility and did not have very high statuses themselves.

The guests here this time were much older, and many of them were old enough to be Chen Heng’s grandfather.

It was evident that most of these guests were the true higher-ups of society, not just the descendants of the large families.

Seeing this, Chen Heng understood and continued to walk forwards.

Kelly pointed out his seat to him, and he silently walked over to it.

Even despite the people present, Chen Heng attracted much attention when he arrived.

Many people looked over at him, focusing their gazes on him.

“This is Mr. Corripo’s student?”

A voice sounded out from the side, with sarcastic overtones, “I had thought that he would be an outstanding young man, but it seems that this is all there is to him.”

Hearing this voice, Chen Heng frowned, feeling that those words had come out of nowhere.

He had always been careful in Kutu Royal City and never offended others; why did this person speak antagonistically towards him in a setting like this?

Was it that he had offended someone without realizing it, or did that person simply want to pick on him because he wanted to?

Or was there some kind of other reason?

In that moment, Chen Heng thought of many possibilities. In the end, he got up and said calmly, “I indeed have not learned too many of Mr Corripo’s skills and am not that outstanding. However, if sir is willing, I am willing to receive some pointers from sir.”

His expression was calm as he looked ahead of him, his gaze falling on a middle-aged man in a corner.

The man was dressed in black light armor and had tanned skin. He was incredibly tall and well-built.

He sat there, and looking at Chen Heng, he said with a somewhat surprised expression, “You want to challenge me?

“Not bad, not bad.”

He loudly laughed as he got up and looked at Chen Heng, his eyes slightly glinting, “Looks like your teacher didn’t teach you about respecting your elders…”

The moment he got up, a berserk aura appeared and spread out. It was incredibly dangerous and those nearby felt their scalps go numb as if they had seen a ferocious beast.

The atmosphere became heavy, and at that moment, many people’s expressions fell. Looking at the middle-aged man, their pupils constricted.

Of course, many people recognized this man, and looks of shock appeared on their faces.
