This matter cannot be kept secret. Even if the people in the martial arts arena can keep it confidential, the elderly friends who are "watching" here will also spare no effort to spread the news.

Old friends who have reached a certain age are like fine wine, the older they get, the more likely they are to go bad.

An old man touched his chest and said, "This guy named Karun is interesting. He is clearly very good at close combat, but he completely fooled that old guy, Levin."

"Yes, Levin is not wrong. This kind of person is the one we least want to see in the opponent's sequence, but the one we most hope to see on our side. I like young people with brains like him."

"Did you notice that he is very good at magic? The magic he uses not only surpasses the normal judge in terms of efficiency and intensity, but also reaches a level that the normal judge cannot reach."

"I noticed that, and I also noticed that he didn't use his full strength, showing some restraint."

"He steadily pushed Levin into a corner and then defeated him with one sword strike, even calculating the counterattack of Levin's protective beast. When will he use this kind of fighting style? He knows that as long as he doesn't make mistakes or take risks, he can win steadily."

"He is facing the deputy squad leader, even if he has retired and his strength has been restricted for a period of time, but this mentality, tsk tsk, which kid has it?"

"He is talented. In the past, Levin always liked people who came out of the knight order, who wouldn't have obvious shortcomings like those outside. I think this guy named Karun is truly flawless."

"By the way, Pilo, you already had a lesson yesterday. Do you remember this guy?"

Pilo scratched his head and said, "What's his name again?"

"Karun. His surname is Silva."

Pilo shook his head and said, "I don't remember. I won't be shameless like Levin, going down to the field personally if I can't handle the class, hehe."

"Then pay special attention to this kid when I have class tomorrow."

Pilo smiled and said, "I advise you not to bother. The higher-ups have made it clear that there will be specific arrangements for these young people, and you won't be able to poach them."

"It doesn't matter if I can't poach them. The older I get, the more I dislike those so-called geniuses. It's not easy to come across someone interesting."

"Yes, we have seen so many geniuses, but how many of them can live to our age?"

Pilo silently picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, feeling a bit regretful in his heart, regretting that he only gave a coin yesterday.

...

Although the teacher was defeated, today's class has just begun.

Karun put the big sword back next to the weapon rack without hanging it up.

Because according to the prescribed procedure, he may have to pick it up two more times.

Then, Karun stood back in line and said, "When you receive guidance from the teacher next, pay special attention to the countermeasures the teacher chooses during the battle. The teacher will let you make the first move and then seize the opportunity to counterattack. So don't choose to fight with all your strength, leave yourself a way out. You have to believe that on the same level of strength, you cannot defeat the teacher.

Therefore, the longer you can persist, the more you can gain from the teacher."

The teammates around nodded, and even the Muri squad was listening.

Levin suddenly felt that this young man who had looked a bit unpleasant since he entered the door was becoming more and more pleasing, and his words were becoming more and more comfortable.

"Next." Levin shouted.

Muri didn't hesitate and went up directly, choosing a short knife and a shield.

Looking at this configuration, Levin asked, "From the Benda family?"

"Yes."

"Mobiten, who are you to him?"

"He's my grandfather."

"Okay, I see."

The Benda family is known as the first guard family of the Order God Sect. Their family has a hereditary mission, which is to protect the generations of high priests and serve as the captain of the high priest's guard team.

This family's heritage is very ancient. A long time ago, an ancestor of the Benda family sacrificed himself to help the injured high priest. He single-handedly blocked a large number of pursuers for three days and three nights with only a short knife and a shield, and finally died from exhaustion.

"Show me your realm."

"Judge."

"Okay, fourth stage strength."

The battle between the two sides began.

An excellent chef can make the most ordinary ingredients taste more delicious, but if you can give him richer and higher-end ingredients, he will definitely perform even better.

Levin fully demonstrated this point. At the fourth stage strength level, he could be more calm, and his calmness was built on Muri's embarrassment.

His short knife was originally used to balance offense and defense with the shield, but under Levin's attack, he had no way to counterattack and could only passively defend.

But after defending for a long time, he began to weaken.

In the end, Muri chose to take a risk and launched an attack. His arm was directly hit by a long spear, the short knife was knocked away, and the long spear pierced through, breaking through the shield and pointing at Muri's neck.

Muri dropped the shield and raised his hand.

Levin retracted the long spear, turned his face to the side, and said, "Next."

"Phew..."

Muri breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought he would be the first one to regain face after being treated as a mentor, but obviously, the mentor did not take this opportunity to show off.

Next, everyone went up one by one. Most of them were at the judge level, and only two of them were still divine healers.

If they were priests or formation mages or specialized in magic, Levin would intentionally delay a little time to allow them to have more opportunities to fight and gain more insights.

If they were good at close combat, Levin would accelerate the process without mercy and defeat them in the fastest and most ruthless way.

Like Bart and Ventra, they lasted shorter than Mas and Blanche because for them, the result of close combat often came quickly, and they didn't have the opportunity to arrange more calmly, because in the team, they were always the ones who needed to stand in the front row.

Karun had been watching and pondering seriously. Levin adopted the same teaching mode as training soldiers, with many additional actions and room for maneuver compared to actual combat.It's like reading a very profound book, but with annotations next to each paragraph.

When Livin and the melee fighters duel, Karun will put himself in the position of the melee fighter and think about how to deal with Livin's clever attacks in this situation.

When Livin duels with non-melee fighters, Karun will put himself in Livin's position and think about how to maximize his advantages when facing this type of opponent in the future.

Karun predicts that for a long time to come, his main fighting style will still rely on the Dark Moon Blade and the Armor of the Sea God. In fact, his fighting style is very similar to Livin's.

However, while immersing himself in observation and practice, Karun also occasionally pays attention because he is worried that if he becomes too immersed, it may stimulate the belief system within him.

If he summons his grandfather's phantom to stand behind him, it would be quite ridiculous.

But even so, Livin always feels like someone is watching him when he fights with the others one by one. This feeling is like when he used to hunt down a hungry beast while on a mission in the Knight Order.

However, Livin did not think too much about this feeling towards the others. He believed that it should be Pilou and the others observing him in some way.

Finally, the round ended and everyone was defeated by Livin.

However, no one was discouraged. After being defeated, they silently pondered their previous battles.

After a while, everyone suddenly realized that a new round was about to begin.

Gradually, more and more people started to focus their attention on Karun.

The mentor said earlier that they would play three rounds.

Okay, this means they will be beaten by the mentor for three rounds, but at the same time, the mentor will also be beaten for three rounds.

Livin didn't choose to avoid it, but directly pointed at Karun and said, "Karun, it's your turn."

Karun did not refuse either. He stepped forward and raised the great sword again. This time, he didn't perform any tricks because he had already been exposed. He walked over with the sword on his shoulder and then smoothly swung the falling sword with one hand.

Livin said, "One round."

This is the knight's oath!

Karun said, "Teacher, my true realm is a judge. Please raise your own strength to the fourth stage."

Bullying the mentor once is enough. For Karun, knocking down Livin, who has compressed his strength, one more time doesn't have much substantive meaning for himself.

He wants to gain something, to find a new feeling here, and to improve himself.

For this reason, he doesn't mind getting his clothes dirty by being knocked down by Livin.

Livin shook his head and said, "I won't violate my oath."

Karun was a little helpless, but immediately thought of a solution and said, "Teacher, then I will also restrict myself and only use the power of the servant of the gods. But my spiritual power is quite deep, so the power of my servant of the gods..."

"I understand. When you can say this sentence voluntarily, I believe you. Moreover, I have personally verified your accumulated spiritual power."

"Thank you, teacher."

"You are very good. I like soldiers like you, clear-minded and ambitious."

Livin swung the tip of his spear towards the ground and drew a line in front of him.

This is a ritual of dueling between knights, which means that at this moment, Livin regards Karun as an equal opponent.

Karun also drew a line in front of him with his great sword as a gesture of courtesy.

"Everyone, pay attention. I know that in the last round, I let you experience his perspective, and you should have enjoyed it, haha."

Everyone present laughed awkwardly.

"This time, it's the same. I want you to experience his thinking, not his moves or his strength. I hope you can understand!"

"Understood, teacher!"

"Understood, teacher!"

"Here we go!"

Livin took the initiative to attack, and Karun still started with defense as always.

This is Karun's fighting habit. One is because he likes to be cautious, and the other is that his advantages lie in the middle and later stages.

Livin's attacks were still sharp, but Karun's defenses were also very organized.

This scene made Karun feel as if he had returned to the time when he first joined the Hound Squad and Mr. Gray accompanied him in practicing fighting.

But the person in front of him is a teacher who is more precious and harder to find than Mr. Gray.

Because Karun restricted his own strength, many spells could not be used. At most, he could cast spells that enhanced his body and speed, so that he would not be at a disadvantage in the fight due to his physical qualities.

His body was average, but his spiritual power was sufficient, so he could extravagantly continuously add shields and various attribute enhancements to his ordinary body.

Livin did not deliberately pursue time and speed. Instead, he held back in each battle. He knew that Karun could sense how many times he had lost, but the teaching continued.

...

"This Livin, he is shamelessly giving private lessons."

"Yeah, this guy is really shameless."

"When has he ever been shameless?"

"But looking at this kid's situation, anyone would want to teach him a lesson."

"It's just unfair to the other members below."

"Treatment is earned by oneself. If you want special treatment, you have to have the qualifications to receive it."

"Did any of you investigate the information of these members? Forget about the Ding District, I want to know about this guy named Karun."

"Hey, I just had my secretary bring the information from the training base. Let me check it for you."

"Okay, help us check this guy named Karun and who his teacher is."

"Oh, the information shows that he is an orphan."

"An orphan?"

"His superior is a judge, and a low-level judge at that."

"Didn't he go to the Church School?"

"No, but that Ventra did. He's the little boy who purified the contaminated power inside him before."

"I've never heard of the surname Silva in the church, and he hasn't attended a church school. His resume doesn't seem to suggest he was educated by a mentor."

"Could it be that he did it all by himself?"

"How could he possibly do it all by himself? Who has such strong learning abilities?"

"Du... Du..."

Pilo tapped his pipe, attracting everyone's attention, then quietly spoke:

"Gentlemen, have you all forgotten? When we were young, we met such a person."

In an instant,

Everyone fell silent.

At this moment, the secretary who had previously delivered the documents and was now pouring tea for the elders asked:

"Are you referring to the former Grand Priest, Lord Rasma?"

Hearing this question,

Everyone laughed.

......

Levin felt the same as he did with Grey. He could clearly sense Karun's progress. He could quickly understand from his own moves and immediately replicate them in his own swordsmanship for communication.

In short, it was a very mysterious feeling. It was comfortable for the teacher and the student.

Even the other members who were watching from the sidelines were engrossed.

In the end, it was Karun who felt that he had learned enough. These all needed to be digested properly, and it was not suitable to continue cramming, so he began to withdraw.

Levin didn't plan to knock Karun down to regain the face he lost in the first round. He naturally put away his spear, and the two distanced themselves.

Karun took a deep breath, looked at Levin standing in front of him, and sincerely said:

"Teacher."

Levin pursed his lips and asked, "Do you want to join the Knights?"

Then, Levin realized that he had overlooked the matter of church reform, and waved his hand, "Forget it, maybe later."

Karun stepped down, and Muri stepped up. The second round of teaching began.

After the second round was the third round.

Karun and Levin sparred again.

When all three rounds were over, Levin threw his spear back onto the weapon rack, put his hands behind his back, and faced the majority of the members who were bruised and battered.

After a long while, he seemed to have not organized a proper speech for the end of the class.

In the end, he could only force out one sentence:

"Class dismissed!"

......

"Dinner together?"

After everyone left the seabed and came to the shore, Muri invited Karun.

"Everyone is tired today."

"True, let's gather after the training is over. There should be time."

"Okay, sounds good."

Back at their floor, before everyone dispersed, Karun said to all his team members, "Everyone, go back and take a shower first, then eat something. Think about today's lessons when you lie in bed tonight. If you have any insights or doubts, you can come to me tomorrow morning. I get up at four, you can come and ring the doorbell."

"Okay, Captain."

"Dismissed, rest up!"

After entering his room, Ventula said, "Captain, I'll run the bath for you."

"No need, I'll just take a shower. I don't feel like soaking today."

"Okay, Captain." Ventula went to pour Karun some cold water.

Karun went into the bathroom first, came out after taking a shower, took the cup of water from Ventula, and went into his bedroom. After lying down on the bed, he picked up the book he had been reading this morning from the bedside table.

He was forcing himself to break away from the "learning" state. He didn't want to faint from exhaustion again.

Others were troubled by their inability to fully immerse themselves in the learning state, but he was the opposite. He was always worried about not being able to break away from it.

Karun thought of today's instructor, Levin. He wasn't an excellent teacher, but he was a competent knight.

......

"Squeak."

The door was pushed open, and Levin walked in.

Inside sat six old men, some holding pipes, some cigars, some with coffee, and some with tea.

The old men all appeared calm, so calm that they might as well have hung a sign on their foreheads saying: This is the calm before the storm.

At this moment, Pilo spoke, "My dear friend Levin, how did you feel about today's class? Would you like to share with us?"

The groundwork was being laid.

Everyone was waiting for Levin's cover to make the next move.

But Levin spread his arms, smiled, and shouted:

"I have good news for you all. Today, I was knocked down by a servant of God, haha!"
