Chapter 601 - 33: The Temptation of the Married Woman and the Brief Journey (Part 4)
Currently, although Su Li often indulges with the Female Knights under the guise of cultivation, apart from the brief period when Hilude wore the dwarf’s treasure, the Golden Hair Comb, this indulgence does not enhance his strength.
This is more of a psychological effect. With Su Li’s Elite Level strength, anything below that was built purely through consuming Fire Rabbit meat, while his breakthrough to the Elite Knight level was entirely due to Hilude guiding his training, adjusting his Breathing Technique, and subsequently breaking into the Extraordinary world.
Such matters don’t need to bring about disappointment. Some are geniuses in cultivation, while others are relatively mediocre.
A sign of a person’s maturity is gradually realizing that they are just an ordinary person.
Su Li came to this realization early on, understanding that he truly was not extraordinary in cultivation. Compared to those true Legends and Divine Chosen Knights, even Hilude was not a genius. It was only after receiving a Divine Grace Baptism that she was reborn and turned into an unmatched talent in cultivation.
Su Li never had the fortune to undergo such a baptism, so his aptitude remained within the realm of ordinary people. But from an ordinary person’s standpoint, he still shone brightly.
Consider that any ordinary Knight in the Empire who can break through to the Elite Tier is inevitably among the top tier from a young age, standing out prominently.
Since childhood, they’ve been the proverbial "other people’s child" in the mouths of parents, always leading in schools and training camps, their brilliance illuminating countless peers, leaving ordinary people far behind.
Such a Knight, second to none among peers, would eventually break through to become an Elite Knight.
Yet even an Elite Knight like this would take half a year to advance from Initial Tier Apprentice Knight to Middle Tier Apprentice Knight. Only after several years, or even decades, would they break through to become Elite.
Su Li, however, only took a year to advance from Apprentice Knight swiftly to the Elite Tier, comparing not unfavorably with those extraordinary prodigies, falling short only to the likes of Hilude and a select few like Oerstein.
But with Sister Bei, given Su Li’s frequency of "Knight training," he truly can embody "rising with the rooster’s crow," "the early bird catches the worm," "diligence makes up for lack of talent," "day and night, never minding the toil"!
With his enthusiasm for pleasure, his cultivation will undoubtedly be "progressing a thousand miles in a day"!
In every sense, he will be advancing a thousand miles a day.
Sister Bei would release Moonlight, helping her pleasing man’s strength to skyrocket.
Whether this journey to Marle Castle will result in a delightful encounter with this beautiful married woman remains unknown.
With this in mind, Su Li filled with anticipation for the journey, arranged, "Let Vandar come see me and open the Vault Area. We’ll take out some treasures to bring to Marle Castle for auction."
Su Li still had plenty of good items in hand, but this journey primarily involved Air Cavalry and light steeds, so certainly, he couldn’t bring many large boxes of luggage.
Discounting the essential provisions and baggage such as tents, tools, and banners, there wouldn’t be much else he could carry.
Thus, he must carefully select some valuable items to bring along in order to secure the greatest value.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, after this trip, Su Li would not move again for at least a year and a half.
Even this trip was driven and seduced by various forces: the temptation of a married woman, the financial crisis in his Territory, and the need for promoting the upcoming grand tournament festival in his Territory. These factors coalesced, compelling his departure for this brief journey to Marle Castle.
