Diana's face was filled with disbelief.
Could it be that the New King, like the Sword King, was a sword-fighting genius rarely seen in the world?
After all, even the Martial Arts King, far away in the ancient Eastern Land, spoke highly of the Sword King's martial arts.
"Am I really a genius?"
That attack just now was merely a subconscious slash, but he hadn't expected it to actually release the legendary Sword Qi.
However, Bai Chen quickly found the reason.
The spirit crystal (Kingdom), because it was obtained through a group draw, could be skillfully used as soon as it was drawn.
And this also greatly stimulated the potential of Bai Chen's body.
The human body is precious; most people, even when they die of old age, have not developed even a tenth of their potential.
Furthermore, there was the influence of Authority.
The Authority usurped from Siegfried was not the Steel Blessing from the original work, but rather the magic sword with which he slew the evil dragon in mythology.
Authority does not only activate when magical power is released.
As an inherent power, it subtly influences its wielder.
For example, Marquis Woban, who possesses the Eyes of Sodom, even without activating this Authority, his eyes are passively enhanced, allowing him to see in the dark, see further, and more clearly.
Therefore, it was only natural for him to unleash sword qi?
Hmph, I thought I had suddenly awakened some incredible talent.
Bai Chen was happy for nothing.
However, Diana clearly didn't know this.
Sweat beaded on her forehead, shocked by the New King's talent in swordsmanship.
In this way, perhaps in less than a month... no, half a month, he would be able to systematically learn a complete set of knight sword techniques.
"Diana, do you have any suitable training methods for me?" Bai Chen asked.
With the control of the Authority to compensate for his lack of skill, it shouldn't take too long.
"King, please give me some time to organize; by tomorrow... no, this afternoon, I will have Liliana deliver a suitable training method for you."
"That's good." Bai Chen nodded.
"Since that's the case, I'll head back first."
Diana watched the young man depart.
After he had completely disappeared, she looked at her beloved disciple.
"Liliana, from now on, I am assigning you a special task."
"Huh? Master, what is it?" Liliana was puzzled.
"...The New King is very friendly towards you, so you must ascertain his interests and hobbies, and spend more time with him."
Diana said seriously.
"Why?" Liliana showed a slight hint of resistance.
Diana didn't elaborate, only explaining: "The Bronze Black Cross's position is very awkward right now; its commander previously pledged allegiance to the Marquis, and even now, he still favors the Marquis. But I believe that following the Marquis will not end any better than betraying him."
Pledging allegiance to a cruel and sadistic demon king is no different from an ordinary person coexisting with a ferocious wolf in the same room.
And now is the opportunity.
If they can gain the New King's favor, the status of the Bronze Black Cross will also rise in the future.
As for why Diana was so certain.
Because she noticed that when her collar was torn open, the New King's gaze had darted to her chest a few times.
Having taught many students, she knew best what men of that age desired.
Of course.
She dared not hope to control a God Slayer with her beauty.
That would be the most foolish act.
Many Magic Societies in history that tried to do so were annihilated by God Slayers.
She only sought to survive in the cracks.
If Liliana didn't do well enough, she wouldn't mind stepping in herself.
After all, she was still a virgin.
Because a mature woman like her had far more appeal to young men than a young girl.
In the afternoon.
While dining, Liliana brought the training materials organized by Diana to Bai Chen.
He casually skimmed through them.
He didn't understand them anyway; as an amateur, he just needed to follow the plan and train.
Afterward, he also kept Liliana, inviting her to have dinner with Mariya Yuri.
The silver-haired girl chatted with Mariya Yuri, occasionally glancing at Bai Chen.
Bai Chen also noticed Liliana's evasive gaze, but didn't pay too much attention.
The routine that followed was training.
While Bai Chen's swordsmanship advanced by leaps and bounds, he didn't forget to continue chatting with the Chat Group members to deepen their bond.
Of course, it was mainly Tokisaki Kurumi and Misaka Mikoto, these two girls.
Especially the former.
After a few private chats, Bai Chen realized that Tokisaki Kurumi was incredibly bold.
Even if he told dirty jokes, Kurumi could respond charmingly, and occasionally even turn the tables on him.
If Bai Chen hadn't known Kurumi's personality, he would have suspected she was a "catfish" – a big guy pretending to be a girl online.
And then, one day after training, while Bai Chen was lying in the bathroom, privately chatting and flirting with Tokisaki Kurumi...
New Chat Group members appeared...
