Chapter 23

After getting the potatoes of Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, the residents of Lister began to plant them in full swing.

The residents also found a magical phenomenon. The soil of the Lister’s farmland had been greatly improved. In addition to the soil, the plants that were about to die also began to recover. Generally speaking, it seemed that the environment of the whole Lister was gradually improved.

The divine temple must be the fortune the lord mentioned!

It didn’t need Locke to say, the residents had associated this change with the divine temple.

In this period, with the help of the divine temple, Kotter had successfully advanced to be a knight of level 2. Kerton also broke through a bottleneck and became a knight of level 1.

It seemed that Sam and the others were stimulated by the two people. They also entered the crazy practice mode. As long as they had time, they would go to the practice room of Victory Temple of Athena.

On the square of Victory Temple of Athena, Locke was sitting cross-legged, surrounded by a trace of purple power.

In order not to be disturbed by others, Athena had already activated the enchanted barrier on the square to isolate the others from the outside.

“Focus.”

Athena still looked like a devil drillmaster. She kept serious and reminded Locke lightly, “Continue to compress the volume of the energy in your body to improve the quality of the energy.”

At this time, Locke’s eyes were closed, and a purple mass of air was spinning, tearing, exploding, and finally reorganizing and circling in his body.

“It seems that Locke is going to succeed.”

Standing far away from Locke, Asclepius felt the energy change in Locke’s body and murmured.

Boom!

At the same time, the purple mass of light in Locke’s body had undergone the last explosion and rebuilding. In the blink of an eye, it had formed a purple vortex.

The purple vortex slowly rotated, giving people a mysterious and vast feeling. In the innermost part of the vortex, there were six stars with overflowing divine power.

Through the introduction of the small universe practice method, Locke knew that the first five senses in the human small universe were vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. The first five stars represented these five senses. When human beings broke through themselves and awakened the small universe, they could light up the sixth star.

“Whoosh~”

“The small universe formed through practice!”

Locke exhaled deeply and opened his eyes in surprise.

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and purple divine power sizzled in the palm.

After practicing the small universe, Locke had a deeper feeling of the divine power. Although the force in his hand was very weak, the destructive force was definitely stronger than the magic element or fighting spirit of the same size!

“Very good. Although there is still a long way to go, it is a good start.” Looking at the divine power in Locke’s hands, Athena rarely smiled during the training.

“After you have practiced the small universe, you need to improve the level of the small universe and the familiarity to control the divine power.”

“But you don’t have to worry about missing the magic practice. Divine power can help you quickly grasp magic or other fighting skills.”

As she spoke, she waved her slender arm in the air, and the enchanted barrier on the square dissipated.

Locke nodded, he also found the problem. Although his small universe had taken shape, his control over the divine power was not enough. For example, now, just condensing the divine power in the palm was very difficult, let alone fighting against others with the divine power.

“From tomorrow on, let’s change a training method. I will suppress my practice to the same level as yours and carry out combat training for you.”

Athena told Locke her plan.

“Fight with you?” Locke was stunned at first. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, “Okay, no problem.”

Athena had the title of “war goddess”, so she must have rich combat experience. The battle with Athena would definitely improve his control over the divine power quickly.

“Then you get ready. We’ll start tomorrow.”

After saying that, Athena turned around and was about to go back to read a book.

After Athena left, Asclepius came over and patted Locke on the shoulder. “Boy, you are really brave. I have to… Silently pray for you.”

He had been lucky enough to witness the battle between Athena and the other main gods, which was extremely terrifying. The name “war goddess” was not a waste.

Although Asclepius also felt that Athena still treated Locke differently, according to his knowledge of Athena, Locke would suffer a lot.

“Is it so horrible?”

Looking at the back of Asclepius, Locke was confused. He found that in front of Athena, Asclepius was like a good baby.

With a helpless smile, Locke no longer thought and went back to rest.

On the second day, Locke finally understood the meaning of the word from Asclepius.

Bang~

On the square, Locke was kicked away by Athena again and hit hard on the wall in the distance.

“Ahem~”

Locke struggled to stand up, feeling a sharp pain in his chest. Seeing that Athena was about to take action again, he got goosebumps all over his body. He forced a smile and said, “How about… This is the end of today’s training?”

At this time, he had a bloody nose and swollen face, and there was pain everywhere.

However, when Athena looked at Locke, her face was cold. She said emotionlessly two words, “Go on.”

Without giving Locke a chance to retort, Athena gathered all her divine power in her palm and slapped him.

Locke almost burst into tears when he saw Athena coming towards him again. Although he was depressed, his speed was not slow. He dodged aside directly. At the same time, his brain was running rapidly. He recalled the details of the previous times when he was hit by Athena, so as not to fall into this again.

Although Athena’s practice base had been suppressed to the same level as Locke’s level, she still had much more combat experience than Locke.

Locke had almost no chance to resist Athena. However, Athena, the devil drillmaster, was never soft-hearted. She kicked Locke away every time.

Boom!

After a few moves, Locke hit a pillar in the distance again.

Looking at Locke’s bruised appearance, Asclepius who was watching aside couldn’t help but shiver.
