739: Chapter 739 New Life-saving Methods 739: Chapter 739 New Life-saving Methods In the south, a gigantic garden materialized, within which a shadowy figure suddenly appeared.
“Lord Awgus, Duke, I come bearing greetings from my master to you,” the figure said.
A tall and imposing presence stood ahead, with its back to the shadow, showing no intent to turn around.
“What business do you have now?
I have said before that I will not cooperate with you.”
“Lord Awgus, we are quite sincere, and with your abilities alone, it is simply impossible to take down the Chirali Empire.
The princess has only yet to react, but soon she’ll be able to gather even more powerful allies.”
In this world, the strong are always revered, and the same holds true for large-scale warfare.
Whoever has more and stronger champions holds the advantage.
Ordinary armies are merely there to take care of the miscellaneous.
Only when there’s a power balance at the top, do they get their chance to shine.
Of course, this is not to say that the lower-level troops are completely useless.
After all, even the strong started at the bottom, even if they can’t all reach the pinnacle.
For instance, a country may struggle to raise a Great Knight but still succeed in training Advanced Warriors.
If a multitude of Advanced Warriors cooperate with a single Great Knight against another of their kind, they could gain a significant advantage, maybe even apprehend the opponent.
And raising such forces is best accomplished through large armies.
On one hand, they do not wish to share high-level training methods; on the other hand, they continue seeking capable subordinates.
“There’s no need for further discussion.
I have nothing to say to you.”
“Then I shall take my leave.
If you change your mind, contact me anytime.
We only want the south of the Chirali Empire; the north will be all yours, Your Majesty, the future king.”
The shadow disappeared, leaving behind a stone marker.
Duke Awgus remained silent for a long time, his thoughts unreadable, and nobody dared to approach the area.
Meanwhile, Zhao Guang was starting to construct a new magic on his plaza.
He intended to refine the elemental archer’s legacy, creating his own breed of magic warriors.
Unexpectedly, a new magic emerged first, and it was not even from the fire attribute he had been researching.
It was a spatial attribute magic called “Flicker”, uniquely his own.
The magic’s level was very high, primarily because it was exceedingly complex, amounting to the quality of super magic.
However, its overall structure did not require any special materials.
With Zhao Guang’s ability and a complete plan, it only took a few minutes to finish constructing the magic.
The next moment, Zhao Guang stood up, then his entire form started to flicker back and forth around the plaza, creating the illusion of multiple Zhao Guangs.
“Good, with this magic, my ability to protect myself will be even stronger.”
Zhao Guang smiled, as the purpose of constructing this magic was precisely for self-preservation.
Though the magic was potent for battle, its true purpose lay in survival.
As complex as super magic but consuming very little magic power, almost equal to an ordinary intermediate-level magic.
Given Zhao Guang’s magic power and recovery speed, he could use it continuously without outpacing his own regeneration.
“The range is about a hundred meters, which is more than enough for battling or evading enemy attacks.
As for speed, no cooldown is necessary, and no casting is required; I can release it anywhere I see.”
After experimenting, Zhao Guang confirmed his flicker’s range was limited to a hundred-meter radius centered on himself.
Places within sight were easy to reach with spatial teleportation.
If he couldn’t see but still sensed the location, flickering would be slightly harder; although brief, there would be a delay.
Of course, the range was fixed at a hundred meters and could not exceed that.
But with no cooldown for flicker, Zhao Guang could cast it over a dozen times in less than a second.
He could effortlessly avoid even large-scale magic attacks with such flickering.
And, of course, it’s not that he was without other magics.
He also had instant teleportation to use in conjunction with flicker.
The combination of these two space magics greatly increased his survival capabilities.
Previously, his life-saving moves were mostly defensive and restorative Lifebound Battle Skills.
His defense capabilities were already maximized, and his recovery was the same.
Now with added speed, facing his current strength, even a legendary strongman would find it difficult to kill him.
As for combat capabilities, those seemed secondary to Zhao Guang.
In truth, if there wasn’t a need for him to take action himself, why would he bother?
But the idea of Xi Fei fighting was even less appealing to Zhao Guang.
As a man from Earth, how could he stand to send the woman he was with into battle?
It was unfortunate that there was no one else useful.
Who knew when he would be able to cultivate a reliable group?
Perhaps it was time to prioritize training talents.
Later, Zhao Guang stepped out and surveyed the situation, finding that the Empire was still in a standoff.
There was unlikely to be any change on either side for some time, so Zhao Guang decided to head back to Earth.
Things had been busy on this side of late, not just with his cultivation, but also with the new company.
He wondered how Li Fugui was acclimating and if the new products were ready to hit the market.
Before he knew it, he had been so occupied that he missed celebrating the New Year at home.
When Zhao Guang realized that the year had passed, he knew his mother would probably give him an earful.
His father, however, wasn’t a concern.
Knowing that his son was busy with matters of the nation, his father was rather pleased.
Missing one New Year at home wasn’t a big deal.
Upon his return, Zhao Guang was greeted by the reproachful gaze of Ye Zhi.
“You remember how to come back?
I didn’t even see you during the New Year.”
“What’s the matter, didn’t you go home?” Didn’t you go home last year?
Why are you still here at this time of the year?
“With so many important matters here, how could I possibly leave?” Ye Zhi’s cheeks turned slightly red, thinking that if things worked out, this place would be her home, so naturally, there was no need to leave.
Her grandfather had also encouraged it, telling her directly that she need not return home this year.
I really appreciate your help then.
Has everything with the company been sorted out?”
“All you care about is the company; it’s almost sorted out.
A few patents haven’t been approved yet, but the overseas side shouldn’t keep delaying.” Sure enough, some people had interfered again.
Zhao Guang had foreseen this, but it still irked him, and Ye Zhi felt the same.
