Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 747 - 73: The Approaching Festival and Su Li’s Advantage

The specific process is still being intensively formulated, and the competition segments are basically confirmed and announced. However, during the festival celebration day and this long competition process, how to incorporate some elements of the Sun Goddess Church without making it seem too deliberate and like a set-piece performance is something the ministers need to carefully consider.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As the organizer, how could he not take the chance to promote the church?

Having control over the discourse and media platform, not utilizing it would be a waste. The saying goes, if heaven gives you a chance and you don’t take it, you’ll be blamed. So he forcibly inserted some very obvious Sun Goddess Church rituals, and the knights could understand.

After all, spending so much money and raising so many people, isn’t it all for this purpose?

So Su Li said, "Very well, then I look forward to your performance on the day of the celebration."

Actually, speaking of anticipation, the Summer Solstice is not far off.

Now it is already the season of blooming spring, and everywhere in the territory are green hills, clear waters, and blossoming flowers.

Basically, by the time a caravan makes a round trip, it will be harvesting season.

And once the harvest season is over, Tal will take over the Annual Rings, and the Summer Solstice will arrive.

So, in fact, there is not much time left for the territory to prepare.

After basically finishing discussions with Oliver and the inspection of the academy went smoothly, the next task is to comprehensively prepare the territory for the harvest season and the Radiant Competition Festival celebration.

Before dusk, Su Li left the academy, surrounded by the Forbidden Guard Knights of Hesse.

Once away from the crowd of the academy, Hilude rode a griffin to Su Li’s side, her heroic eyes carrying a clear smile, looking at Su Li and asking, "Lord, are you considering participating in this celebration?"

Without much thought, Su Li instinctively replied, "Didn’t I say this at Marle Castle? I’m not participating in this game, otherwise winning or losing will lose the people’s support."

Hilude’s eyes were full of laughter: "I’m not talking about gambling."

"Not gambling, then wha..." Su Li immediately widened his eyes, looking at Hilude in astonishment, "You can’t be suggesting that I personally enter the competition, right?"

"Of course." Hilude’s eyes curved into beautiful crescents with a smile: "I’ve already registered you among the few spots for high-level directly affiliated attendants."

"Don’t mess around." Su Li refused without thinking: "All my cultivation is in inner strength, on the bed. Martial arts and combat are rarely practiced, how can I go to the arena?"

Hilude immediately held his right hand, gazing into his eyes, gently encouraging: "Lord, you’re really underestimating yourself. In my opinion, you’re very strong, even possibly winning the elite level championship. It’s just that you haven’t changed your mindset yet."

Of course, it hasn’t changed, Su Li in his past life was living in socialism as a sheltered child, speaking mentality-wise, he really didn’t have the ruthlessness of the capitalist world.

Having crossed over for only a little over a year, although he has changed somewhat, it’s impossible to change decades of mindset in just a year.

Even when he went to battle before, it was out of necessity.

So he never thought his martial strength was strong. Of course, this also relates to his past life’s values. As a monarch leading the battle, it’s not bravery but recklessness.

Hearing Hilude’s encouragement, he directly replied, "I know you’re trying to motivate me, but this is too unrealistic. With my strength, how could I possibly win the elite level championship?"

Hilude’s heroic face was filled with a determined expression: "No, Lord, this is not mere comfort or encouragement. On the contrary, this is an absolutely accurate judgment based on my thorough analysis."

"Firstly, in terms of absolute strength, you have this foundation. You have the most resources from the territory infused into you, from Crimson Pearl bracelets, to Burning Pearls, from Dragon Blood Stones to Extraordinary Ears, your power, physique, life, and endurance are all far superior to ordinary levels. This is also the reason why, even without much training, you can still easily slay monsters on the battlefield. It can be said that your physical quality embodies what the knights dream of in their cultivation path, not only innate divine power but also qualities like iron骨钢筋, fast reactions, exceptional resilience, and extraordinary perception."

"Even if relying solely on these resources to solidify your physical quality and practice foundation, you are destined to be stronger than others. This is particularly advantageous in the arena because unsharpened weapons are used, which can only knock people out, making it challenging to kill a knight. Even if you don’t dodge, trading injury for injury, relying on superior endurance and resistance, you can easily defeat the enemy."

This does make sense; having a strong physique is what many cultivators dream of, some people are just born with superior physiques, offering them advantages in cultivation given by heaven.

For example, reaction speed, some people are just faster. When they see an enemy’s blade coming, some may need one second to react, while others can complete an evasion in a split-second flash, even disarming the opponent or grabbing the blade with bare hands.

Su Li’s reaction speed was relatively slow before; after all, he was an ordinary person in his past life, with no connection to disarming, identifying, or parrying techniques.

But in this life, it’s different. There are too many extraordinary resources to continuously enhance one’s physical fitness.
