105: Deep meditation

[Divination 1: Because of your generous reward, Fowler Will coincidentally deceived Ferguson Bazel. Under Ferguson's angry command, his Knight Squad engaged in a fierce battle with the Shadow Leopard. Ultimately, several Soldiers died, one Knight was injured, and they were defeated and fled.]

[Divination 2: Due to the important experience accumulated from previous battles and the energy conversion from the magic beast meat you generously bestowed upon everyone, Spartacus Bulk will enter a state of Deep Meditation during his cultivation early this morning, successfully breaking through to Bronze Rank Seven.]

[Divination 3: Although the recent beast tide caused significant losses, due to the high terrain of the territory, this heavy rain only caused over thirty casualties in Viscount Connor Kimmlers Territory. Viscount Connor is in a quite good mood because of this, but his younger daughter, Mystia, is feeling sad because you have not sent anyone to discuss the labor matters.]

His eyes quickly swept over the first divination information. Knowing that the bearded Soldier had not betrayed his oath, he stopped paying attention to it.

Instead, the content of the second divination information attracted his gaze while simultaneously leaving him somewhat speechless for a moment.

After a long while, three words forcefully popped into his mind... This is ridiculous!

Clearly, it was only two days ago that he had finally managed to break through to the same realm as Spartacus.

Now the divination information was telling him that this guy Spartacus had directly activated a rocket cheat and shot up again.

Judging by such terrifying talent... would this guy really only be a Golden Knight in the future?

He was now starting to doubt whether the previous divination information regarding Spartacus's future was incorrect.

However, he could only keep this thought to himself as there was no way to verify it.

Of course, he was still very happy to have an additional High-Rank Bronze knight whose strength was already no less than that of the original core members, Locke and Carlyle.

With a 'no comparison, no harm' good mood, he looked at the third divination information.

After reading it, while feeling that Viscount Connor's luck was quite good, he slapped his forehead.

I forgot to send someone!

Because there were too many things to do after returning to the Ironthorn Territory, plus he had been waiting for Red and the others to return, and then the 'heavy rain' incident occurred.

So until now, he hadn't sent anyone to the Connor Territory. But on second thought, he felt somewhat fortunate.

If he had really sent someone then, they would have definitely encountered the heavy rain midway, and their safety wouldn't have been guaranteed.

Waiting until the heavy rain stopped this morning to send someone out was actually more appropriate from all aspects. Perhaps... he was the lucky one?

...The next morning, the heavy rain indeed receded as the divination had predicted.

Taking a breath of the fresh air after the rain into his lungs made Lister feel comfortable all over.

Since the high slope where the castle was located was essentially a very large mountain rock, there wasn't much mud on the ground after the rain.

Therefore, it didn't cause any impact on the cultivation of Lister and the knights.

As Spartacus, who was circulating his Breathing Technique, entered a state of Deep Meditation, all the knights in the training ground were drawn over by him.

"My god, Spartacus has actually entered Deep Meditation!"

"What is Deep Meditation?"

"You need to brush up on your cultivation knowledge. Deep Meditation is a special state for Transcendents caused by insights accumulated after battle..."

"...or various factors such as a qualitative change in the combat qi energy within the body."

"Once in this state, the cultivator's breakthrough speed will increase significantly, and of course, there are other subtle benefits."

"I just don't know what Spartacus will actually gain from it this time."

"So awesome! If only I could enter this state sometime too."

Accompanying the excited discussions of the crowd, a daunting beast roar suddenly resounded through the heavens and earth.

Simultaneously, an aura with a powerful sense of oppression centered on Spartacus and instantly spread to the surroundings.

Except for Red and Lister, everyone present couldn't help but have their breath hitch, as if they felt a terrifying magic beast attacking.

Bronze Rank Seven!

Slowly opening his eyes, Spartacus's face was filled with joy from the leap in his realm.

Seeing the crowd surrounding him like they were watching a monkey, he was suddenly startled.

Because his mind was too focused after entering the meditation state, he hadn't noticed the crowd's appearance at all.

Lister, who had been waiting nearby, showed a look of joy and praised him without stint: "Spartacus, your talent is making me look at you in a new light more and more. I look forward to the day you promote to a Silver Knight."

"Well done, Spartacus."

Although he felt the pressure brought by Spartacus, Red still offered his sincere praise; after all, he could be considered his disciple.

Spartacus said solemnly, "I will definitely not fail the expectations of you two."

And so, the morning practice slowly came to a close amidst the shock of Spartacus's breakthrough... "Brutus, you will lead the team for the labor negotiations this time."

"Although I have already reached a consensus with Viscount Kimler before, there will inevitably be some problems when it comes to implementation."

"When the time comes, you can consult with Viscount Kimler's officials on the specific details."

"I have only one requirement, and that is for the labor arrangements to be fast. The renovation of Ironthorn Town and the construction of the territory's roads have already been delayed for several days due to various unexpected situations."

"It absolutely cannot continue to be slow. These two tasks must be completed before the arrival of the cold winter in two months, understood?"

In the Lord's room, Lister, sitting in the main seat and exuding the majesty of a lord, spoke in an unquestionable tone.

It wasn't that he was being unnecessarily anxious; it was truly that the territory's recent development speed had slowed down a lot, and any further delay would disrupt his future development plans.

The core of these development tasks, besides being for himself, was more for the benefit of all the residents of the Ironthorn Territory.

Especially the renovation of Ironthorn Town before the cold winter could significantly improve the living standards of the residents.

What he wanted was not just for the residents to barely survive, but for them to live more prosperously and steadily.

Hearing this, Brutus felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders and said with a firm face, "Lord Lister, please rest assured. I will definitely complete the consultation on the labor dispatch in the fastest and best way possible."

Nodding slightly, Lister had always trusted Brutus's abilities implicitly.

He said with a smile, "This time I will arrange for Spartacus to lead the team to ensure your safety along the way."

As if thinking of something, he instructed again, "By the way, take some more bath products this time to give to Miss Mystia, Viscount Kimler's younger daughter."

"Say that one part is a small gift of apology from me to her, and the other part is samples I'm asking her to help promote among other noble ladies."

Hearing that Lister had 'hooked up' with another noble lady just by going on a trip that wasn't even that far, Brutus couldn't help but show an admiring and suggestive look.

"I will definitely convey your thoughts to Miss Mystia, Lord Lister."
