Judgnt?
If you ask who in this world has the right to judge Grand Duke Lynch, Holly, who possesses a ten-star martial soul, is indeed a suitable candidate...
Previously, Old Gao jumped out to help Du Ge, simply because of shared misery, hoping to pull in an ally and escape from prison.
Only by escaping prison would he have a chance to exact revenge.
But Holly gave him too many surprises...
Few people have seen a ten-star martial soul in action, and Old Gao hadn't either, so he didn't have an accurate assessnt of Du Ge's combat power.
In Old Gao's fixed impression, a newly awakened ten-star martial soul couldn't possibly be a match for a Grand Magus.
After a mont of silence, Old Gao said tactfully, "Holly, an individual's power is ultimately limited. I know a ten-star martial soul is formidable, but you have just awakened. Once I recover my magic power and help everyone lift their martial soul seals, we will have a better chance against Grand Duke Lynch."
"Old Gao is right, King Holly," Leen said. "Among us, the only high-end combat powers are you and Levi, who has a seven-star martial soul. Moreover, when facing Grand Duke Lynch, Levi is very likely not to act, and you might find yourself isolated and helpless..."
The Warden glanced at Leen, then lowered his head silently. Though unwilling to admit it, Leen was right; he would definitely not act against Grand Duke Lynch.
This had nothing to do with justice or kindness.
It was purely because Grand Duke Lynch's power was too imnse.
Even just injuring the Duke would affect all aspects of the Lucerne Kingdom.
He and his family couldn't bear the Duke's wrath.
Up to now, Warden Levi still hoped that Grand Duke Lynch would forgive Holly's cris because of his ten-star martial soul.
Like Old Gao, he didn't have a proper understanding of a ten-star martial soul.
The Pope, who also possessed a ten-star martial soul, grew step by step and faced countless life-threatening assassinations during his growth.
In fact, anyone with an eight-star martial soul or higher is destined to influence the world. The growth of each high-level martial soul is fraught with challenges, and many perish along the way.
Even he, without his family's protection, might not have survived to this day.
"King Holly, as long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. The dawn has not yet broken; we still have a chance to leave..." soone else advised.
Du Ge saw through their thoughts and smiled slightly, "Old Gao, Leen, you might not understand twin martial souls. Previously, although my martial soul awakening failed, the accumulated soul power remained, and this soul power directly acted on the Sea God martial soul, giving my current strength. Earlier, when I fought Levi, I didn't use my full power because I was worried about injuring him."
"..." Levi's face stiffened, and the wounds treated by Holy Light began to ache faintly again.
"Moreover, if I escape, it would be seen as fleeing from guilt," Du Ge said, looking around at everyone. "At that ti, Grand Duke Lynch could freely pin cris on . Only by making Xima Lynch personally admit to framing before the execution can I walk the world with dignity. ℞
The most crucial point is that if we leave, disaster will fall upon these poor prison guards and their families. Both publicly and privately, I must face Grand Duke Lynch head-on..."
"Old Gao, I think King Holly makes sense," Warden Levi said, not understanding what Du Ge ant but supporting him. "Grand Duke Lynch should know the importance of a ten-star martial soul. He wouldn't risk being criticized by His Majesty of Lucerne by rashly killing a ten-star martial soul warrior. I think Holly really has a chance to clear his and your nas..."
"That's because you don't know what kind of person Bard Lynch is," Old Gao retorted.
"Old Gao, co with ," Du Ge interrupted him.
"Where to?" Old Gao asked.
"Wait a mont," Du Ge smiled at him and turned to Simon. "Simon, tell Levi what kind of person I am."
"Yes, sir." Simon saluted Du Ge, his tone filled with undisguised excitent. It had been driving him crazy to see Holly bearing the identity of a scoundrel without being able to explain it.
He first looked at Warden Levi, "Levi, although my ti with the King has been short, do you really think he is a scoundrel?"
"..." Levi glanced at Du Ge, confused, "I'm not so sure anymore."
"Then let tell you the truth," Simon said, shaking his head as he looked at Levi. "If you knew what King Holly has endured, you would understand how great a person he is."
...
Du Ge took Old Gao to a secluded corner, spreading his ntal power to monitor every corner of the prison.
With his high ntal power, he had long been adept at such tasks.
"Old Gao, tell , what is the principle of magic?" Du Ge asked, looking at Old Gao.
"Magic?" Old Gao was stunned.
He looked at Du Ge curiously, not understanding why Holly would be concerned about magic at this mont. He thought Holly would ask about his grievances with Grand Duke Lynch!
"Yes, I want to understand magic and see if I can learn it to prepare for the upcoming battle with Grand Duke Lynch," Du Ge said.
In this world, mages could rival warriors who had awakened their martial souls.
After failing to awaken his martial soul, Holly had considered switching to magic and had undergone a mage's aptitude test. Unfortunately, he had no talent for magic.
But Holly's lack of talent didn't an Du Ge had none.
Even if he truly had none, he had to awaken a water magic talent to cover up the Power of Poseidon. He couldn't always reveal his martial soul.
Constantly displaying the martial soul would consu soul power, and the larger the skill released, the more soul power it consud.
So, except during battles, most warriors wouldn't reveal their martial souls.
But the Power of Poseidon consud almost nothing for Du Ge.
So, pretending to be a water mage using the Power of Poseidon was more useful than fighting with the martial soul.
The most crucial point was to boost Old Gao's confidence in him.
Du Ge had long seen that this old man, despite appearing shrewd, was quite simple, much like Leen, completely lacking Lather's cunning.
Even if Old Gao didn't explain the reason, Du Ge could roughly guess that the dispute between Old Gao and Grand Duke Lynch was likely an academic one.
If this old man were a bit smarter, he wouldn't have ended up in prison and might have even used the opportunity to rise to power...
"Holly, everyone's martial soul is random and related to luck, but magic relies more on talent. Without talent, one can never be connected to magic," Old Gao shook his head. "You have already awakened a ten-star martial soul and should focus entirely on its cultivation, rather than delving into magic. Historically, many who tried to cultivate both magic and martial souls ended up achieving nothing."
"I know, I just want to understand," Du Ge smiled. "After all, our next enemy is Grand Duke Lynch, and I've never fought a mage before."
A normal person, when facing a mage, would want to understand the mage's strengths, not the principles of magic!
Old Gao muttered in his heart, looking at the persistent Du Ge, and said, "Mages and martial souls actually have sothing in common. Your soul power and a mage's magic power can both be considered ntal power.
But unlike martial souls, magic power allows mages to sense the magical elents floating between heaven and earth. I don't have the instrunts to test your affinity with magical elents.
But sensing magical elents is the first step to becoming a mage.
The second step is to control the sensed magical elents.
The more magical elents you can control and mobilize, the stronger the magic you can cast.
Holly, your awakened Sea God martial soul allows you to sense water elents and condense a water ball, which, to so extent, is already an entry into water magic.
Typically, to practice control, mages choose a magical elent they are more attuned to and practice controlling it until they master it. This is the origin of the various types of mages. If you really want to cultivate magic, you can choose water spells as an auxiliary. Many warriors with magical attributes do the sa."
Old Gao paused and continued, "After becoming a Grand Magus, one would practice so composite magic, which requires controlling more different types of magical elents. And controlling more magical elents requires more ntal power..."
Control?
Du Ge closed his eyes.
Because of the Power of Poseidon, he easily sensed the water molecules in the air, or more accurately, the water elents.
Then.
He carefully discerned and indeed sensed other different elents besides water elents: red fire elents, yellow earth elents, green wind elents, and white light elents...
Previously, he hadn't sensed these because he was too sensitive to water elents and completely ignored the existence of other elents.
Du Ge tried to use his ntal power to capture the fire elents in the air.
With his strong and vigorous ntal power, he easily separated the fire elents from the many elents and condensed them together with his ntal power.
A blue fireball suddenly appeared, floating in front of Du Ge.
Old Gao, seeing the sudden fireball, stopped speaking, his eyes widening like copper bells, "Fireball?"
But soon.
Next to the fireball, a lump of earth appeared, a spinning wind, a jumping electric spark, a dazzling light ball, and a pitch-black black ball...
Gulp!
Old Gao looked at the several elental pure forms Du Ge had created, swallowed heavily, and stared at Du Ge as if he had seen a ghost, unable to utter a single word.
