4 days later
Luis has been staying in the Ferterra base for the past 4 days, occasionally going to the cultivation world and practicing the martial arts he had learned.
He tried to practice the martial arts that he looted from Anyu Gang, but it was far inferior to Turtle Martial Arts.
These past few days, he became more familiar with the Vortex Qi in his body. He could now perfectly attach it to his sword, making the attack sharper and heavier.
He also taught others, but their progress was far slower than his. They would need months of practice if they wanted to become Official Knights. This was due to their average talent. If Luis hadn't helped them, most of them couldn't have awakened their life seed before the age of 18.
'I hope everyone has arrived' With much thought in his head, Luis headed towards the training ground.
Today was the day when almost all of his followers would assemble and meet him. He had given order to Liam to recall them using the authority of the Young Master of Hartmann Barony.
When Luis arrived, he saw men lined up with Liam overseeing them. They stood at attention, disciplined as ever, waiting for his command. He knows every single person here.
"Liam, how many are here?" Luis turned to Liam and questioned
"Young Master, all 41 militiamen arrived. No one dared to disobey the order written in your name."
Luis nodded in approval. "Good. My judgment was not wrong."
He stepped forward, scanning the faces of the men. He knew each one, whether by name or from previous interactions.
"Everyone, You must recognize me. I am Luis Hartmann, eldest son of Felipe Hartmann." Luis addressed them, his voice commanding attention.
He paused, letting the weight of his lineage sink in. Then he began his questioning.
"First, I need some basic information about you all."
"Raise your hand if you are above the age of 20."
Of the 41 men, 25 raised their hands.
"..."
Luis watched all this with silence, letting them vent their feelings. Everyone has their own regrets in life that others cannot fully understand. He couldn't fully empathize with them like Brian's mother. Luis will say he sympathizes for her death, but in actuality he doesn't care much.
Only when the bad incident happens to oneself or your loved ones will you feel pain. The only thing he can do right now is stay silent and listen to their story. A few moments later, they stopped venting and began staring at Luis.
"I can give you what you desire," Luis declared, his voice cutting through the air.
"I can give you an opportunity to awaken your life seed and break through the realm of apprentice knight."
Luis voice sounded, and the whole ground totally became silent. The eyes that were staring at Luis widened.
"In return, all I need is your loyalty. I want you to be the sharpest spear in my hand."
The ground was still in silence when suddenly a bang was heard. It was Brian who kneeled down.
"I, Brian, will follow Luis Hartmann till my last breath. This is my true oath.
The surrounding air began to blow faster.
Next, there were constant sounds of bangs as others kneeled down. They could offer their loyalty and become the sharpest spear in the hand of the young master even if he didn't offer the chance for them to awaken their life seed.
Now, they have stronger reason to be loyal to Luis. They didn't doubt Luis. Young Master of Prestigious Hartmann Barony would not lie to them.
Nobles are very prestigious. They are the real rulers of this continent. Not only humans, even elves, orcs, goblins, and dragons have their own noble families.
Even if Luis lied, no one here would dare to question him. The influence of nobility for thousands of years has created such a mentality among people.
He watched as all the people here were connected to his vortex. Now, he will directly take them to Cultivation World instead of giving them body-training powder like he did to the previous group.
"Everyone, don't be shocked by what you see next. What you are about to see will change your lives forever." Luis declared to everyone as a vortex appeared in front of them,
"Enter inside without any delay."
