Chapter 48: Extra Value

"As expected, the effects are quite good…"
After doing some cultivating and sensing his progress, Chen Heng nodded to himself.
It was just as he had expected.
Igniting his lifeforce while circulating his qi blood had quite good effects, causing his progress in cultivating the Solid Rock Body Forging Technique to become much faster.
Of course, there were also problems.
His sense of fatigue greatly increased.
If he went on like this long-term, it would be quite bad for his body.
However, for now, it was not a big issue.
After all, this body of his was still young, only in his early twenties. This kind of damage was not much.
However, sensing the fatigue in his body, Chen Heng decided to be more careful and made sure to recover well.
After coming to this world, he had paid great attention to his body and taken his diet very seriously.
To other people, all of his meals were incredibly simple, if not disgusting.
However, those things were all incredibly nutritious. Even though they would not taste very good, they were all good for his body.
He would also secretly eat some supplements to further strengthen his body.
Otherwise, if he cultivated like this, he would die before he could achieve any results.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng's gaze was calm and he silently put down his sword as he walked to the side.
At that moment, some hurried footsteps sounded out.
Chen Heng turned and looked, and he saw Krudo striding towards him. From how Krudo looked, it seemed that he had something urgent to talk about.
"You fought with Mader?" Krudo walked before Chen Heng with a serious expression.
"That's right."
Hearing Krudo's words, Chen Heng was quite surprised and asked, "How did you know?"
"Everyone knows about it by now."
Krudo said as he shook his head, "When I was training at the Academy, I overheard some people talking about that, so I hurried over to check on you. It seems that you're fine though, that's good."
"It's spread that much already?" Chen Heng was quite surprised.
After that battle the previous night, he had been wondering if he should get some people to spread news about what had happened.
After all, this was a way to increase his fame; he naturally did not want to miss out on this.
However, it seemed that news spread far faster than he had expected.
Before he had done anything to spread the news, Krudo had already heard about it.
If even someone like Krudo, who was quite antisocial, knew about it, then most other people would as well.
Those who he wanted to know most likely knew by now.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng could not help but smile.
This was different than those small fights; he had directly faced off against a famous Knight, and he had not been shown to be inferior at all.
The results from this battle were much better than those from before.
Those who knew the ropes would all understand what this signified.
After this battle, Chen Heng's fame in the Kutu Royal City would grow even greater, and even those high-level figures would know his name.
This was exactly what Chen Heng wanted.
Thinking about this, he felt quite happy.
"You actually did such a big thing like it was nothing."
Looking at Chen Heng, Krudo looked a bit worried as he said, "Are you fine after fighting with Mader?"
"Don't worry," Chen Heng gave a slight smile as he said, 'After all, Mader is my senior and wouldn't go overboard against me. I'm not injured."
"Senior? Him?"
Hearing Chen Heng's words, Krudo's expression changed, looking quite condescending, "According to my grandfather, he's just a mad dog. Once he starts fighting, he doesn't give up until he bites the other person to death."
"Mr Sli said such a thing?" Hearing Krudo's words, Chen Heng felt quite surprised.
Krudo's grandfather was called Sli, and he was an elderly Knight as well as a very kind person.
Over the past half a year, in order to win over Krudo, he had especially gone to pay a visit to Sli before.
Perhaps it was because he used to be a commoner but Knight Sli did not seem high and mighty at all, and he got along well with Chen Heng. Both of them had good impressions of each other.
Chen Heng had never thought that such a kindly old Knight would say such a thing about Mader.
However, he soon thought of something.
Princess Olivia's territory was in the north, and she occupied the most fertile land there.
Krudo's family had never liked the Crown Princess much, and it seemed that back then, there had been some conflict between them.
As one of Princess Olivia's three Knights, perhaps Mader had been involved in a conflict with Krudo's family, and he may have even fought with them before.
If this was the case, it was understandable that Knight Sli would say such a thing.
Chen Heng suddenly realized something.
Compared to other people, he had an advantage.
The nobles in this world were split into various circles, which were quite closed to outsiders.
Among them, the northern rulers were the most closed off to outsiders, and they were famous for being this way.
This was partially why they were called barbarians by the other nobles.
However, what had to be acknowledged was that these northern rulers' power was not weak at all.
Even though the northern side was quite poor, their military forces were excellent and there were many Knight families like Krudo's.
It could be said that they had great military power and were a force to be reckoned with.
It was just that because of how closed off they were, Princess Olivia and the other Princes were unable to bring them to their side.
This was especially so for Princess Olivia—because of some things in the past, most of the northern rulers were quite antagonistic towards her.
As such, because Chen Heng had a good relationship with the northern rulers, he had even greater value.
