The Story of the Prince, Leiva
Chapter 9 - Cronous Palace, Ambrella
The first movement of the Sacred Warrior Tread that is, the Warrior Tread, is as powerful as the Low Level martial technique of the Human Stage.
The second movement, the Master Tread, was as powerful as the Intermediate Level martial technique of the Human Stage.
The movements of the three GrandMaster Treads, were as powerful as the Superior Level martial techniques of the Human Stage.
The movements of the four Epic Treads, were as powerful as the Inferior Level martial techniques of the Spiritual Stage.
The final movement was the Legendary Tread, which was an unimaginable force.
The previous movements of the Sacred Warrior Tread could be seen as a lower martial technique, not too powerful. Furthermore, the Sacred Warrior Tread was very manly and hard. So, there were very few people practicing it, even until the last move.
After the last move, each additional movement took up a lot of time and energy. If one could not withstand the male strength in his body, it was highly likely that he would burn to death.
All of these reasons made the Sacred Warrior Tread a Low Level King martial technique. Although the Sacred Warrior's Tread was difficult, it was perfect for Leiva to strengthen his body in such a short period of time.
“First movement of Holy Warrior Sites, Warrior Sites.”
Leiva crouched down and then quickly stepped out and punched. He was silent like a mountain and moved like the rough tread of a god.
He practiced again and again until all of the Original Qi in his body was depleted. Then, he wiped his sweat and fell to the ground. He used his Mythical Mark to absorb the power in the internal space of the Stone of Space and Time and turned it into Original Qi.
He trained for nine days in the internal space of the Stone of Space and Time, and finally succeeded in the first movement of the Sacred Warrior Tread, the Warrior Tread.
In the real world, only three days had passed, while nine days had passed in the internal space.
“I want to know how strong the first move is if I use it with my current cultivation.” Leiva stepped out of the internal space of Stone Space and Time and went into the backyard. He stood in the middle of the courtyard and spread his Original Qi to his feet.
“Tapak Warrior!” His legs moved in a synchronous pattern and suddenly ran out.
With each step, a powerful stream of strength shot out from his legs, then into his waist, shoulders, and finally, burst out from his hands. Even though it is only one movement, it motivates the strength of each muscle. That's the reason why it's so powerful.
Brak!
His palm punched a huge rock, which was about half the height of a man. He quickly pulled his palm back, repeated his steps, and returned to his original position.
Leiva saw the big rock. He saw two shallow palms on the surface, and the stone sank into the earth about two centimeters deep.
Leiva was quite satisfied with his strength.
Although the Sacred Warrior Tread was only at the Low Level of the Human Stage, it was much better than the others and its strength was also much stronger.
“The higher the Levels and stages, the harder they are to practice. If I practice the Spiritual Stage martial technique directly, I cannot succeed in just nine days. It might take at least half a year. Moreover, it is impossible for me to use martial techniques at the Spiritual Stage due to my insufficient Original Qi.”
But if one were to focus on practicing skills and ignoring martial techniques, he would suffer great losses during the fight.
By succeeding in the first movement of the Sacred Warrior Palm, Leiva finally had the basic ability to protect himself in this era. During these nine days, Leiva's cultivation had also greatly increased. His Original Qi was full, and he was ready to develop his second Meridian.
To develop Meridians, Angelic Water was indispensable. But the queen only gave Leiva one part of the Angelic Water, which she already used when she developed her first Meridian.
How could he get it in such a short time?
“Ninth Prince, Empress Ruby has been looking for you everywhere. What are you doing here?" The maid saw Leiva standing in the middle of the courtyard. He walked towards her with curiosity.
As the only maid to Empress Ruby and Leiva, the maid named Syifa is a beautiful 17-year-old girl, with bright eyes and pointed jaws.
Leiva walked in front of him, preventing him from seeing the two palm traces on the rock, and asked with concern, “Kak Syifa, has your wound healed?”
Syifa shook her head. “Maybe it will still take two to three more months.”
He had broken his arm when the Eighth Prince pushed him a few days earlier. Hurting a servant like him, or even killing him, meant nothing to the Eighth Prince, who naturally did not need to be held responsible. In a world where the strong lead, the weak could only hold it back.
Leiva asked, “Why don't you buy some drugs?”
Syifa smiled bitterly and said, “Even the lowest quality medicine will cost 200 silver coins. A servant like me has no way of buying it. Ninth Prince, you are very good at thinking of me. Now, please follow me to meet Empress Ruby. We will go outside the palace today.”
Leiva followed Syifa and curiously asked, "Go out? Where?”
“To see Ambrella! You must be very happy, because you have not seen it for a long time.” Syifa smiled brightly and looked at Leiva.
Whenever Ambrella's name was mentioned, Leiva's face would be flushed red and she would look shy like a woman.
“Who's Ambrella?" Leiva was just about to ask when he suddenly realized that he should not do it.
Apparently, Leiva must have known the girl when she was alive, because of Syifa's attitude, they must have had a special relationship as well. If Leiva asks about who he is, he will reveal himself. So he decided to shut up.
Fortunately, Leiva had been ill all along. So she barely made contact with anyone else, except Empress Ruby. If not, he may have been suspected.
Seeing Leiva's calm demeanor, Syifa felt a little surprised. But she did not pay any special attention to him and continued walking to Empress Ruby's place. Leiva, Empress Ruby, and the maid Syifa sat on the ancient chariot, slowly moving away from the Stardom Altar Palace.
Different from real horses, an antelope is a wild beast with horns on its head. Like a small elephant with a height of more than three meters and could move five times faster than an ordinary warhorse. Some strong antelope horses can run as much as 3,000 miles per day.
Without knowing how far the ancient chariot had gone, the carriage slowed down and finally stopped. After descending from the carriage, Leiva glanced at the two magnificent gates nearby and a horizontal inscribed board hanging above the gate, upon which were inscribed two powerful names in gold-plated calligraphy, “Cronous Palace!”
