The 10th day.
[ Mission countdown: 18 days, 2 hours and 30 minutes ]
In the castle of Lake Town.
Su Chen had finished his morning training and was having breakfast with Evelyn in the restaurant.
Evelyn’s original job was similar to that of a butler. Since that night, Evelyn, the personal maid, had officially advanced to become a personal assistant.
Some of Evelyn’s original jobs were also handed over to other maids.
Su Chen transferred Antonio, the former housekeeper of the Karev family, to the castle.
Originally, he had demoted the former managers of the Karev family to commoners. Those with low moral character were sent to be serfs. Later, he heard from the servants of the castle that they had taken good care of Antonio in the past, they were also very capable of managing affairs.
Su Chen first transferred him back to work to try it out.
There were still 18 days left to the deadline of the mission.
After Su Chen and Kyle had discussed and summarized his trump cards, he concluded that the only variable now was his own strength.
Apart from cultivating in silence, there was nothing else he could do.
Therefore, during this period of time, he had been cultivating to the limit every day. Every day, he ate delicious food and played some small games with Evelyn.
After he relaxed his mood, the training speed of his warrior power increased a lot. In the past two days, he felt that his body had reached a bottleneck, and the feeling of being full after absorbing the warrior power became more and more obvious.
Su Chen felt that if he wanted to break through this bottleneck, he could only continue to squeeze out his potential.
Therefore, he put the training of sword techniques before the daily training of warrior power. He first released all the warrior power in his muscles and then continued to absorb new warrior power from his muscles and other tissues.
It was like a sponge that had been squeezed dry would quickly absorb water.
Su Chen felt that his body was almost fully nourished by the battle spirit at this stage.
What he was waiting for was the qualitative change caused by the quantitative change.
‘I should be able to make a breakthrough in these two days. When that time comes, I can implement the plan. I wonder if the medicine will be of much use to the alpha…’

[ Mission countdown: 15 days, 17 hours, 25 minutes ]
In the courtyard of the castle.
Su Chen began his evening training.
Last night, he had the feeling that he was about to make a breakthrough. The combat energy in his body was so dense that it was about to overflow. When he was practicing his sword skills, there was already a weak sword light emitting from his body, however, it was still not up to the standard to release his sword skills.
“I’ll try again tonight.” Su Chen felt that he was in a good condition now.
The combat energy in his body began to flow violently. Su Chen’s body had already stored the saturated combat energy. The combat energy in his body, which could not be consumed, continued to surge and attack his meridians.
The swelling pain continued to attack Su Chen.
Immediately after, combat energy rushed through the place and produced waves of intense tearing pain. His meridians were constantly expanding, and the small stream was transforming into a big river! This was a breakthrough!
The muscles on Su Chen’s body began to violently spasm. Blue veins popped up on his face, and sweat continuously dripped down like rain.
Although the intense pain made him almost faint, Su Chen knew that he could not give up halfway, so he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
After the combat energy in his body had broken through the last narrow path, the circulating combat energy in his body was no longer obstructed. The mighty sound was like a big river, surging fiercely and rapidly in Su Chen’s body.
Su Chen let out a deep breath. His heart could not help but be wild with joy, “I’ve finally broken through!” He clenched his fist and felt the surging combat energy in his body. He felt that he could smash a huge rock with one punch.
He continued to circulate the abundant warrior power in his body. The intense pain caused by the tearing sensation gradually disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by the pleasure brought by the evolution of his body.
Su Chen felt that every cell in his body had been opened to breathe freely, absorbing the newly generated warrior power in his body.
“Let me try the power of my sword skills.”
Feeling the exploding power in his body, Su Chen picked up the one-handed knight’s sword for practice and transferred his warrior power to the sword as usual.
“I can release more warrior power, and my speed is faster.”
Su Chen felt the warrior power in his body surging out rapidly from every cell in his body, bringing a pleasant feeling.
“Ha!”
Su Chen took a step forward and drew a cross star in the air with his single-handed sword. This was the basic battle skill of a knight, ‘Cross Slash’.
What was different from usual was that a green and white swift and fierce cross-shaped sword light shot out from the blade, cutting the big tree not far in front of Su Chen in half. The aftershock even left a long ravine on the bluestone floor behind.
Su Chen sighed in his heart. Such a powerful battle technique should be useful against a rank 3 alpha.
“For the sake of insurance, let’s carry out the original plan.”
Su Chen, who had just broken through to a silver knight, had an impression that he could kill the alpha with one sword stroke.
After suppressing the inflated confidence in his heart, Su Chen returned to the study room of the castle and began to prepare for the extermination operation at night.
He had to summon the Glimmer Knights before 0 o’clock to carry out the first wave of attacks, after midnight, he could summon the Glimmer Knights again.
He told the butler to feed his red horse once in the evening. He had to choose fine feed, then carry the snake venom and mutated anesthetic with him. The old hunter’s camouflage was also ready.
Su Chen entered the knight’s temple and conducted a communication rehearsal with Kyle.
Everything was ready.
..
Late that night.
In the gravel ridge forest, the bright moonlight shone into the forest through the branches.
The tier 3 alpha was wandering around the silver bell flower. In a little more than ten days, this small piece of silver bell flower was about to mature.
When it swallowed and absorbed this small piece of silver bell flower, its strength would have another leap.
More than ten days ago, a group of strange humans came near this silver-bell flowers. After being killed by them, they did not bleed, nor did they leave behind any corpses. This caused the suspicious alpha to feel a trace of anxiety.
It felt that those knights were probably contract knights summoned by some powerful human. It sent its pack to patrol the vicinity of the gravel ridge, but they did not find any trace of them.
It did not want to stay here for another day. After harvesting the silver bell flowers, it would lead the wolf pack to retreat from this place.
Thinking of this, it licked its paws in annoyance. The wound there had already healed. Fortunately, other than the leader of the group of knights who could cause it some damage, the others were not a threat to it.
“It seems that there should be nothing today. Those strange people have not been here for more than ten days.”
Just as the alpha was about to lie down and rest, the sound of battle from afar made his fur stand on end.
“AWOOO ~”
This was the alarm of the forest wolf.
In the forest, the forest wolves that had spread out their vigilance heard the howl and immediately rushed towards the direction where the sound came from..
