Chapter 370: Want to learn? I’ll teach you

What does it mean to be the pinnacle of human martial strength?

No Vision, no powerful bloodline, no extraordinary encounters.

The only thing worth mentioning, perhaps, is that he was born into a traditional knightly family.

And yet, Arundolyn—just like that—relied on a large sword and a smaller one, along with his admiration for the Knight of the North Wind, to carve out a name for himself.

If Bai Luo didn’t have the system, taking down someone like him would be incredibly difficult.

With a heavy thud, the sturdy body collapsed to the ground, and the system prompt appeared right on time.

[Successfully defeated "Lion of Light" Arundolyn.]

[Second stage trial complete.]

[You have ten minutes to rest. After ten minutes, the third stage trial will begin. Please make proper use of this time to prepare.]

Still no rewards. Though Bai Luo was annoyed, there was nothing he could do about it.

So he followed the system’s instructions and began organizing the items in his pockets.

Sunsettia—this was good stuff. It had to be placed somewhere easy to access.

As for skill cards, they were similar to skills and could be summoned into his hand with a thought, so there was no need to fuss over them.

The second round had already been against a peak human powerhouse like the Lion of Light. As for the third round... he really had no idea.

Would it be Vanessa, the original Lion of the South Wind?

Or the ultimate target of this trial—the Knight of the North Wind?

As long as it wasn’t a combination of the knight and the wolf.

The Knight of the North Wind alone was already incredibly strong. If you added the Wolf King of the North Wind, he might as well just give the system the middle finger and wait for death.

"Young people these days are truly remarkable."

While Bai Luo was preparing, the Lion of Light reappeared beside him.

The first thing he did was praise Bai Luo.

Although the young man had used abilities beyond swordsmanship, the final burst of sword techniques had truly opened his eyes.

He could tell that it was a style similar to his own West Wind swordsmanship.

But unlike his own approach of attacking with the greatsword and defending with the longsword, this young man had completely abandoned defense, using both weapons purely for offense.

This was an even more reckless technique than his own.

"The truly impressive one is you, old man."

Most of Bai Luo’s abilities were granted by the system.

Only Sunsettia could be considered something uniquely his own.

As for why... didn’t the system itself shy away when Bai Luo once suggested feeding it Sunsettia?

If it really were the cause of its sourness, it wouldn’t react like that.

"No. I may be at my peak now, but it won’t be long before my strength begins to decline. You’re different, you’re in your prime. You still have a long road ahead of you."

Arundolyn’s words sounded casual, but Bai Luo could still hear the trace of helplessness within them.

Erosion is not something that only affects long-lived beings.

For this lion nearing the end of his prime, nothing is more painful than watching his strength fade with time.

And judging from his current state, the system had not summoned Arundolyn from after Rostam’s death using the power within Wolf’s Gravestone.

Instead, it was likely the version of him from the time when disaster struck—when he led the knights in defense of their homeland.

Rostam’s death didn’t only affect his beloved Rosalyne.

It also affected his closest friend.

After Rostam died, Arundolyn no longer displayed his strength, nor did he take pride in challenging ferocious beasts.

The lion who had lost his shadow chose to dedicate the rest of his life to the nation his friend had cherished, in a somewhat lonely way.

Perhaps one day, upon seeing boys sparring with wooden swords by the roadside, a trace of nostalgia would appear on his face.

Because decades ago, no one could have imagined that a boy holding a replica of Wolf’s Gravestone would one day become the renowned Lion of Light.

And the companion who fought alongside him would be given the title "Wolf Pup," becoming his most trusted lieutenant.

"Want to learn my swordsmanship?"

At this moment, Arundolyn had no knowledge of what would happen to him in the future.

But having finally encountered a young man who wielded dual swords and possessed such remarkable talent, how could he possibly let him go?

Even Rostam had already taken on a disciple like Roland.

Roland, known as the White Knight, had been enjoying immense fame lately.

"You’re willing to teach me?"

Bai Luo was taken aback, clearly not expecting that Arundolyn—whom he had just beaten up like he was peeling an apple—would actually offer to teach him.

There was something he hadn’t dared to say: his final strike had actually been aimed at Arundolyn’s kidney.

But the last hit of Starburst Stream automatically locked onto the heart, so he had no control over it.

Thinking about it now... better not mention it.

"If you want to learn, I dare to teach."

No one wants the things they’ve created to completely disappear, and Arundolyn was no exception.

After finally meeting someone skilled in using two weapons, whose style was also extremely similar to his own—how could he be willing to miss this opportunity?

"There’s less than six minutes left. How could that possibly be enough time—"

[The Lion of Light Arundolyn wishes to teach you West Wind Swordsmanship – Lion’s Wrist. Do you wish to learn it?]

"..."

You can do this too? Why didn’t you say so earlier?

If you’d said that sooner, then when I was talking with Rostam just now, I definitely would’ve learned that groin-kicking move from him.

Paired perfectly with the kidney-stabbing skill—what a combo.

"Yes."

After Bai Luo gave his answer, Arundolyn revealed a satisfied expression.

A gentle breeze passed by, and under its touch, the Arundolyn before Bai Luo transformed into a streak of light that flowed into Bai Luo’s right hand.

[Learning successful!]

[Obtained Passive Skill: Lion’s Wrist]

[Lion’s Wrist]

A unique technique created by Arundolyn, Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius. Through refined control, it allows the use of two-handed weapons with a single hand.

Unique Effect – Heavy Strike: When wielding a two-handed greatsword, all attacks are treated as heavy strikes.

Unique Effect – Wrist Strength: Stamina consumption during heavy strikes is reduced by 20% (upgradeable).

Unique Effect – West Wind: When holding two or more weapons (including two), defense, elemental resistance, and damage dealt are increased by 100%. Each additional weapon increases these stats by a further 50% (no upper limit).

Note 1: This skill does not belong to the system and can take effect across all classes.

Note 2: Wrist Strength upgrades based on how long the user practices Lion’s Wrist, and can eventually completely negate stamina consumption during heavy strikes.

"..."

Looking at the final description of the passive skill, Bai Luo finally understood why Arundolyn seemed to never tire. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

At his peak, even if he hadn’t fully maxed out Wrist Strength, he was probably close.

Trying to exhaust an Arundolyn whose every attack was a heavy strike and consumed no stamina...

Back then, he had truly been naïve.
