Chapter 203: Two Weeks of Cultivation (Part 2)

“What are you doing?!”

After receiving the message from the elderly foreman that ‘Dean was looking for her,’ the young lady of the Tier Baron Family ran cheerfully towards Dean’s Regiment Commander’s office.

However, the moment she entered the door, the young lady was stunned by the scene before her eyes—

The young captain she remembered was leading four people. They were holding square wooden blocks and striking Dean’s body forcefully, making loud ‘bang, bang, bang’ sounds. Just listening to it, the young lady felt pain.

And immediately after, came anger!

“How dare you do this? Do you want to be hanged?”

The young lady of the Baron Family rushed to Dean’s front, spread her arms to shield Dean behind her, and shouted in anger.

“Miss Lily… you have misunderstood!”

Theron smiled bitterly as he looked at the young lady of the Baron Family, whose eyebrows were furrowed in anger and eyes were wide open. The people around him had similar expressions. One or two of them were panting heavily—they had never realized that beating someone could be such tiring work. Holding those seemingly incredibly sturdy square wooden blocks, when they hit their Regiment Commander’s body, it was like hitting a stone covered in cowhide. The rebounding force made their hands ache.

“Misunderstanding?! But…”

The young lady of the Baron Family wanted to say something, but looking at the expressions of the young people in front of her and their exhausted appearance, and then thinking of the respect these young people usually showed Dean, she instantly realized her own rashness. When she turned around and saw Dean frowning, her heart immediately tightened.

“I seem to have made him angry!”

This thought appeared in the young lady’s heart, making her feel a bit at a loss.

“I was just concerned about you, don’t you…”

The young lady of the Baron Family insisted stubbornly out of instinct.

“Mhm, thank you for your concern. Theron, you and everyone else go down and rest first!”

Dean nodded and instructed his subordinates.

“Yes, Regiment Commander!”

Theron and the others, as if granted a pardon, immediately ran out.

The Grand Duke’s Swordsmanship Commander, who had been standing at the door, walked in slowly after these young people left. She looked at those square wooden blocks, then looked at Dean standing there, and asked softly: “City’s Body Forging Technique?”

“Mhm, I have already learned the basics of Goth’s Body Forging Technique, next is City’s Body Forging Technique!”

Facing the Grand Duke’s Swordsmanship Commander, his current Instructor, Dean did not hide anything.

“You have already learned the basics of Goth’s Body Forging Technique? Indeed, worthy of you who could awaken Giant Transformation, to have learned the basics so quickly… for an ordinary person, even with excellent talent, it would take at least one or two months!”

The Grand Duke’s Swordsmanship Commander was stunned for a moment, then let out a low exclamation of surprise.

The Grand Duke’s Swordsmanship Commander knew quite clearly when Dean started cultivating Goth’s Body Forging Technique—

One week, definitely not exceeding this time limit!

If some trivial matters were calculated in, Dean’s cultivation time was even less than a week.

After all, arranging for those people recruited by Baron Tier to come here to build houses for her, although most of it was handled by that Vice Regiment Commander, Dean had also delayed for a large part of the day.

Of course, the calculation of some other details was too troublesome, and the Grand Duke’s Swordsmanship Commander did not count them one by one, but she once again verified the talent Dean displayed.

“In rumors, after awakening Giant Transformation, the body undergoes a deeper level of change, making a person with such talent even more potential… I originally thought these were just false rumors, I didn’t expect them to be true!”

The Grand Duke’s Swordsmanship Commander murmured to herself in a low voice.

“I am not clear about such rumors, however, some changes in the body are indeed true!”

Dean shrugged and shook his head, pretending not to know, but in his heart, he was happy that the other party thought so—after all, the existence of the System was too strange. With another explanation in front of him, Dean naturally would not refuse.

“For the upcoming cultivation, do you need my help?”

The Grand Duke’s Swordsmanship Commander looked at those square wooden blocks and asked.

“I would be more than happy!”

Dean was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

In fact, Dean’s frowning earlier was not directed at that young lady of the Baron Family, but at himself—he had wrongly estimated the defense power after adding his talent Tough Physique with Constitution and Indomitable. Although those subordinates had already tried their best, for the level he wanted to cultivate City’s Body Forging Technique, it was still not enough.

Even, to be serious, there was not even a sliver of effect.

Perhaps if it continued, there would be a slight effect, but among that group of young people, except for Theron who had excellent physical quality, the rest all felt fatigue. Two of them were dripping with sweat, obviously unable to continue at all.

Therefore, when a Silver Level helper appeared, Dean was naturally happy.

“Let’s begin!”

With impatience, Dean said this.

“Mhm!”

Picking up two square wooden blocks, the Grand Duke’s Swordsmanship Commander twitched her nose, glanced at Dean in surprise, and then nodded again with satisfaction—the smell of minor and lesser Healing Potions, the Grand Duke’s Swordsmanship Commander was of course familiar with; however, using this as an auxiliary potion for cultivating City’s Body Forging Technique, she had to admire it.

Different from Emerald and Goth’s Body Forging Technique, City’s Body Forging Technique was probably the most troublesome to cultivate. Not only did it require the assistance of potions at critical stages, but it also required some potions to assist in normal cultivation—of course, these potions were of good and bad quality. The best kind was naturally in the hands of Grand Nobles and the Royal Family, the medium kind was used by officers in the Military Camp, and the worst kind was for ordinary soldiers.

The Emerald People had also studied City’s Body Forging Technique, but unfortunately, what they obtained was only the lowest level of auxiliary potions. The medium and best kinds had always been strictly guarded by City. Moreover, even the lowest level of auxiliary potions were expensive to make. After considering the cost performance, large-scale promotion was simply not suitable.

Added to this were the differences in individual talent. In the end, City’s Body Forging Technique could only circulate among a small scope of interested people.

And some of them, in order to expand this scope, once used Healing Potions as a substitute, but clearly, those people failed.

Because their own Constitution was too weak.

Even with the help of Healing Potions, they could not meet the requirements of City’s Body Forging Technique. Even if some people really learned the basics, improving further was filled with difficulties.

After all, a real Healing Potion was not cheap, almost catching up to the value of the auxiliary potions needed for City’s Body Forging Technique.

However, the Dean in front of her was clearly different.

Giant Transformation allowed him to withstand all this.

This point, the Grand Duke’s Swordsmanship Commander felt even more clearly after starting—the feeling of hitting old leather made the Grand Duke’s Swordsmanship Commander involuntarily increase her strength.

The square wooden blocks, following the movement of the Grand Duke’s Swordsmanship Commander, brought layers of afterimages, enveloping Dean like raindrops.

Of course, the Grand Duke’s Swordsmanship Commander did not use all her strength, not even half of it.

Roughly about thirty to forty percent of her strength.

But this was already enough to make her exclaim in surprise.

“The defensive power brought by Giant Transformation is not only when the talent is activated, even in a normal state it has considerable effect… this defensive power is already not weaker than an ordinary Grand Knight—Grand Knight… it hasn’t even been a month since his last Baptism, right?”

The thoughts in her heart made the Grand Duke’s Swordsmanship Commander extremely surprised.

She almost subconsciously thought of another existence—

King of City!

It was well known that King of City’s talent was Giant Transformation!

Awakened at six years old, became a Gold-rank existence at nineteen!

In thirteen years, he crossed a position that ordinary people could not reach in a lifetime!

“This matter must be reported to the Grand Duke… our speculations were all wrong. Although Dean’s Giant Transformation was not self-awakened, it is definitely not inferior to self-awakening—thirteen years, thirteen years, Dean might be able to replicate this miracle… Dean is now eighteen, before the golden age arrives, he is enough to reach the true Gold-rank level!”

Thoughts emerged one by one in her heart, but the square wooden blocks in the Grand Duke’s Swordsmanship Commander’s hand did not stop. Even the force was controlled just right.

A full five minutes later, after all of Dean’s exposed skin turned red, the Grand Duke’s Swordsmanship Commander who was familiar with City’s Body Forging Technique stopped.

After seeing Dean start to adjust his breathing in an orderly manner, she walked slowly to the side, reached out to block the mouth of the young lady of the Baron Family, signaling the young lady who wanted to ask something to stay silent.

It was not until the two left Dean’s room that the Grand Duke’s Swordsmanship Commander put down her hand.

“Sister Ethel, was Dean cultivating?”

The young lady of the Baron Family asked—although she had not truly come into contact with these things and only played with some flashy sword techniques, it did not mean that the young lady of the Baron Family had no knowledge.

If the person under the square wooden blocks earlier had not been Dean, this young lady would probably have guessed what was going on right away.

“Mhm, his talent is truly amazing!”

The Grand Duke’s Swordsmanship Commander nodded, her elegant face filled with strong admiration.

“Really that good?”

The young lady of the Baron Family thought of Dean ignoring her earlier. Although she had a bit of happiness in her heart, a trace of disdain appeared on her mouth.

“Mhm, if before this Dean was only a Gold-rank reserve… people looked at this with a tolerant mindset, true Gold-rank Experts are much more complex than this; however, I can now tell you for sure, Dean will definitely become a Gold-rank Expert—as long as he grows smoothly!”

The Grand Duke’s Swordsmanship Commander answered with a solemn expression.

Suddenly, the young lady of the Baron Family paused.

“Re-really?”

After a long while, the young lady of the Baron Family asked in a murmur.
