Chapter 486: Battle Reflex

“So I’ve been polishing my skills and trying to improve my abilities through other channels.
“It seemed that my project had failed. No one was willing to invest in my true alchemy, and my legendary path had been closed again.
“However, this level of frustration is nothing in my life. After I give you a lesson, I plan to go to the Blood Plain to hone my skills.
“Since the path of true alchemy was not going to work, then I’ll let blood and fire hone my combat skills.
“Don’t look at me like that. I’m the most capable mage below Legend in the Alliance. Those demons and devils in the Blood Plain are destined to become my stepping stones.
“Perhaps when I return from the Blood Plain, and you hear my name again, it will be the day when I reach the Legendary level with my combat domain!”
Matthew listened quietly and didn’t say anything.
He only said, “Good luck.”
He could actually feel Margaret’s struggle. Due to her special way of cultivation, Soria was both her mentor and her debt holder. He was both her help and her obstacle.
If it weren’t for Soria, she might just be a mediocre mage.
However, because of Soria, if she wanted to go further, she might have to face ten thousand times more pain and torture than being a mediocre mage.
This was the legendary path.
For most of the natives in this world, Legends were beyond their reach.
Many people had not even found their own legendary path and had spent their entire lives wandering aimlessly.
And even if they found the legendary path, how many of them would be able to persevere to the end?
Even if they really persevered to the end, there were not many who could obtain good results.
Matthew didn’t know many people, and even among them, there were many who were struggling to become Legends.
Li Weiqi was a classic example. He had been stuck at level 20 for many years, but because of the disappearance of the Coiling Dragon, he could not make any progress.
Margaret was the same. The path of Capital was not suitable for her. She was not smart enough and lacked talent.
Even if she imitated Soria in every way, she only ended up with a project that went bankrupt and no one invested in it.
Using the endless battles of the Blood Plain to nourish the Battle Domain, becoming a Battle Mage and a Legend might be her only way out.
Thinking of this.
Matthew said softly,
“Before you head to the Blood Plains, it would be best if you could inform me.”
Margaret snorted.
“Why?
“Do you want to give me a ride?
“There was no need for that. If I wanted to go to the Blood Plain, I would definitely do it secretly and not make a big fuss.
“This kind of thing can’t be made public. If I die in another plane, just pretend you didn’t know me.
“Don’t tell anyone that you learned your combat skills from me. Otherwise, it’ll be so embarrassing.”
Matthew fell silent.
“Don’t think too much. I haven’t finished your class yet. Besides, my debt collectors won’t let me die so easily.”
Margaret said casually,
“Live nappuy, mattnew,
Even if I don’t make it back from the Bloody Plains, don’t feel sad for me. No matter what, I can find my rightful home. I’m already better than many people.”
Influenced by her optimism, Matthew smiled and asked, ” Is this also Margaret’s battle philosophy?”
Margaret blinked.
“No, this is the comfort between friends.
“I think we can be considered friends now.”
The process of returning to the prime material plane was uneventful.
The two of them were stowaways summoned by Phily, and they were naturally favoured by gravity when travelling from the inside out.
Three seconds later, they were back in the Cauldron House.
He made an appointment with Margaret for the approximate time of the next practical class.
Matthew returned to the oak forest.
The actual combat training was full of gains. In addition to the rich combat experience, the biggest gain was Dudley’s mushroom.
Matthew planned to cultivate some mushrooms in the forest to enrich its ecology and try to establish a real buffer zone between the two ritual grounds.
After he returned, he immediately found Obast and Argus and asked about the condition of the two mounts.
Mr. Centaur’s answer made Matthew feel gratified.
The existence of the World Tree allowed the Golden Pegasus to quickly adapt to everything in the oak forest. It seemed to be particularly attached to this land and would not leave in the short term.
Dark Warrior Argus reported,
‘ Nightmare likes the cemetery, but he’s too wild. The cemetery can’t keep him. He always sneaks into the undercity outside the cemetery when I’m not paying attention. He’ll be gone for half a day. It’s very worrying.”
Matthew muttered, “In that case, I’ll let Peggy watch him.”
Argus said helplessly,
It was Lady Peggy who instigated him to explore the nearby undercity! ”
Matthew was speechless.
Soon, he found Peggy in the kitchen.
When Peggy saw Matthew, she happily put on her apron. “What do you want to eat tonight?”
Matthew casually named a few dishes and asked in embarrassment,
” I heard that you’ve been riding the Crimson Flame Nightmare to the nearby Undercity for the past two days?”
Peggy nodded.
“Yes, yes.”
Matthew wanted to say something.
There was a loud bang.
Peggy took out a fist-sized object from her apron and slapped it on the chopping board.
“I was just about to tell you. I went to the depths of the Undercity and picked up a lot of things.. If you don’t want these, I won’t go anymore!”
