Chapter 538 Gaining Spirituality

In the Eastern Mountain Range around this time, Azaroth's retainers were recovering from the injuries they suffered from Azaroth's intense training.

In this training, Azaroth taught them various movement skills and fighting styles. He knew many different fighting styles and passed many to his retainers.

Each retainer learned a fighting style according to their abilities. William learned seven different fighting styles from Azaroth while the others only learned three or so.

After each day's intense training, they would be asked to relax to heal their bodies. However, even during that time, they would be reading some books personally written by Azaroth.

Those books focused on topics like strategic planning, tactical movement, and economics. The one who excelled in all three subjects was none other than Sargan.

Yrellea excelled in strategic planning and economics. Meanwhile, Laura excelled in tactical movement.

Noah excelled a bit in strategic planning and tactical movements, while William didn't have much talent in this.

Tiana had an average understanding of these three subjects. Azaroth was sure she would be just fine as she was.

Meanwhile, Ralph possessed a rather good head for tactical movement. In fact, he was the only one who didn't study all that much. He was focused on reading books related to Alchemy.

Those books stated Alchemy ingredients and pellet concoction methods.

William and Laura were also focused on their Array studies. They were proficient enough to lay down a four-star array without Azaroth's assistance.

Azaroth was very satisfied with their progress. He urged them to always work on their array techniques and further hone them. It would greatly assist them in the future. The rest would depend on their good fortune and providence.

At this moment, William was staying in a mansion set up by the Macher Clan for him and his comrades. William's three wives lived together with him and were massaging his body.

"Just where were you these past two weeks? Just what were you doing that you suffered such great injuries, hubby?" Regina Lerch asked worriedly.

His other wives shared this concern as well. Well, not Anny Macher since this kind of training was rather common in her tribe, but not for the other two.

William softly responded, "My master was training me along with my comrades for the past two weeks."

"Why did he need to be so heavy-handed about it? Let me talk to him. I will give him a piece of my mind," Vivi Platz spoke indignantly.

Suddenly, Vivi found herself on the receiving end of a glare. This glare came from William! He spoke with a cold and serious tone, "Do not ever badmouth my master again!"

Vivi instantly shut her mouth as she knew that her husband was truly angry. Regina added with a frown, "Why are you defending him when he left you in such a bad state?!"

William snorted in response but stayed silent in the end. He wasn't going to inform them of Azaroth's plan. It would be useless even if he stated it since they wouldn't understand it.

"Just remember that he is the one person I respect more than anyone in the world, and I will go to any lengths for him," William stated seriously.

'Fortunately, it was just me whom they talked to about this. If they spoke like this in front of Noah, the worst would have already occurred by now,' William thought.

Noah's great loyalty and love towards Azaroth could be seen vividly. He would never tolerate anyone disrespecting Azaroth, no matter the identity of that individual!

While William was talking with his wives, his comrades were already up as they made their way towards the fields to train some more.

The first one to get up was surprisingly Noah. It was surprising that Noah got up first because, unlike others, he didn't possess accelerated healing. His recovery speed was the same as other regular humans.

But he still endured the pain and made his way towards the fields to train more. As he slept, Noah continued to recall that conversation with Azaroth, which prevented him from sleeping.

Noah wanted to do something to help Azaroth, but he was powerless. This feeling of powerlessness frustrated him to no end, and he unleashed his frustration in his training.

Laura and others were soon out in the fields, continuing their training. During their training with Azaroth, they had seen a glimpse of their path and wished to pursue it. In reality, it wasn't all due to Azaroth's training. The Seven Colored Bodhi Tree's presence had a huge role in it.

​ All of Azaroth's retainers were on the verge of comprehending an intent. Noah had already comprehended sword intent, but he was diving deeper into the sword laws.

At this moment, he was trying to reach the Man, Sword, and Heaven as one state. After reaching this state, he could control the Sword Qi in his surroundings and further boost his strength! His Sword Domain would become much stronger!

However, Noah had no idea that his sword was actually gaining spirituality as he advanced his state!

In other words, Noah's sword was about to become a Spirit Sword! All its cracks were slowly filled with Noah's spiritual energy and sword qi.

The power of a Spirit Sword was absolutely horrifying. Noah's power would grow by five to seven times if he used his techniques together with a Spirit Sword.

All this time, it was his sword that was pulling him back from displaying his true power. But after upgrading to the Spirit Sword, it could be said that his sword will finally reach the same level as him, allowing him to display his true potential.

In the meantime, Laura used her Ardor to practice Array Formations. She created different types of Array Formations, and some of them were experiments. She wanted to test the limits of the array formations and understand what she could accomplish with it.

Laura recalled that Azaroth once mentioned that the usage of Array Formations is absolutely limitless. If Laura could create her own array formations, she could be considered a proper Array Grandmaster. After hundreds of experiments, Laura admitted that there was a massive difference between her and an Array Grandmaster. She had to train a whole lot to bridge this gap!

Ralph soon arrived on the fields to train as well. He was using Alchemy Ingredients to concoct some pellets.

Ralph practiced the various concoction methods in those books. He also concocted a couple of pellets, but they were all of the medium quality! He had to improve his timing to ensure a better quality of these pellets.

Sargan, Tiana, and Yrellea remained in their rooms and continued to study the various books that Azaroth provided them. Their task was a bit different when compared to Ralph, Laura, Noah, and William.

They had to focus on their mental development while keeping a fit physical body that could handle anything!

Tiana contacted her subordinates in the sect and ordered them to temporarily join the Glerian Kingdom's side.

Azaroth informed her that he didn't wish for the Glerian Kingdom to lose its territory to the Radiant Church any time soon. And this was one way to prevent it from occurring quickly.

The sects allied to the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect couldn't affect the battle on the Archangels' level, but they could still handle the Lamhilhan Theocracy's warriors and Angels.

Preventing the Lamhilhan Theocracy from seizing any more territory was crucial!

But as time passed, a drastic event occurred in the Sinyalian Kingdom that would decide the fate of these three kingdoms!
