Chapter 7: Battling the Star Knight
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The wedding only lasted for a day.
The marriage of Edward’s sister, Alfie, to the Carlo Family was just a small interlude in the Feylan Capital, and did not affect the pace of life here.
The only commendable thing was the three-month tax exemption.
The first rays of sunlight cut through the night. Edward sat in front of the mirror as he cleaned up his appearance.
Today was the last meal the Feylan Family would have with Alfie before she left.
In the large room, there were a few hanging lamps, and the long dining table was filled with people, all members of the Feylan Family.
Edward sat on the left-hand side of Duke Ják, with his sister Alfie on the right.
It symbolized their status.
Edward put the sliced beef into his mouth and took a bite.
Time passed quickly. The end of breakfast also represented Princess Alfie’s departure.
Standing on the city wall, Edward watched his sister leave, then turned and walked towards the training grounds of the Feylan Knights.
Now, he had to properly confirm his current strength.
Inside the knight’s training grounds, more than half of the heirs of the Feylan Family were here, training everyday.
“Young Master Edward, I didn’t expect you to come to the training ground today. How about it? Do you want to fight me?”
Before Edward could enter the practice area, he heard a familiar rough voice that hurt his eardrums.
As expected, Field was standing behind him.
As the leader of the Feylan Knights, Field’s strength was at the peak of the Star Knight level.

Using him to test his strength was just right!
At this moment, all of the other family members who were still training gathered around, their faces filled with excitement as they prepared to watch Edward get beaten up by Field. After all, Field was one of the top figures in the entire Feylan Capital, and even his training was extremely strict. Next, Edward would definitely suffer!
Many of them were gloating.
As for Duke Ják, who had just sent his daughter off, he came to the training ground to inspect the training of his descendants.
He did not expect to see such a lively scene the moment he arrived.
The Star of the Empire against the Star Knight!
Coincidentally, Edward had told him this morning that he was going to go to the Golin Mountain Range. This could be considered as letting Field test his strength first!
Duke Ják looked at Edward, who had picked up his sword, and nodded secretly.
He was imposing.
“Uncle Field, I seek your guidance!” Edward, dressed in a white suit, picked up his sword and made a knightly gesture towards Field, who was wearing armor.
Field returned the greeting. This battle that seemed unfair to ordinary people began immediately!
“Come, attack first!”
At this moment, the surrounding people were also watching the fun and did not mind that things would get out of hand. They started gambling.
“I’m betting Edward won’t last thirty rounds against the commander.”
“You think too highly of Brother Edward. A Bronze Knight versus a Star Knight, the difference is too huge!”

“Haha, I trust Brother Edward more. I’ll bet five moves!”
While everyone was discussing, Edward attacked first.
The knight’s breathing technique began to circulate through his limbs.
He took a step forward, and in the next moment, he transformed into a flickering figure and charged toward Field. His sword transformed into a flash of light as it stabbed toward Field’s face.
It was too fast! In the eyes of the surrounding people, it was like this.
In Field’s eyes, it was the same!
His speed was very fast. At the very least, he had reached the speed of a Silver Knight.
Field hurriedly swung his sword to block. Just the speed of this thrust surprised him.
Young Master Edward was indeed very talented!
However!
He was still too young!
Field looked at Edward’s defenseless body as sparks flew between the collision of both swords. His sword turned and slashed at Edward’s abdomen.
Edward smiled as he saw this.
The two of them were indeed not on the same level.
Of course, Edward was the stronger one and Field was weaker.
Now, he had completely transcended the concept of a knight, and Field’s every move could be seen clearly in his vision.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Field’s offensive techniques and reaction speed far exceeded his, as if he could see through all attacks.
But in Edward’s eyes, his counterattack was full of loopholes!
Edward easily turned his sword around to block the blade that was slashing at his abdomen while raising it with one hand.
He only used a little bit of strength. This was just a small spar, so he would not expose his strength.
Besides, he had yet to use the curse power and the mysterious power in his body.
With that swing, he was caught in the guard of Field’s sword. If he did not defend himself, his sword would be sent flying by Edward.
Without a sword, the victor of this duel would be self-evident.
Field quickly stabilized the strength in his body and pressed down on the sword that was coming towards him. The moment the sword blade came into contact with the hand guard, his expression instantly changed.
Edward’s strength was too great!
This could not be the strength of a Bronze Knight.
Although he had successfully defended himself, Field’s hands could not help but tremble. The impact of the sword just now had caused his hand to go numb. He lost his balance and retreated a few steps.
“As expected of Young Master Edward, your strength is astonishing!” Field gave his heartfelt agreement and looked at Edward as if he had seen a ghost.
He had not used his full strength just now, only wanting to spar with Edward.
But to his surprise, Edward’s strength and speed far exceeded his techniques!
All sorts of fancy techniques were useless before absolute speed and strength.
Two moves, just two moves.
This Star Knight lost this duel.
Even though he was fighting Edward with all his might, he did not expect Edward to be so strong and fast!
“I’m sorry, Uncle Field. I just became a Silver Knight recently, so I’m still not very familiar with my strength!”
Looking at the doubtful Knight Commander, Edward felt that his strength should not be too absurd and quickly claimed that he broke through to the next level.
“What?” Field, who was still depressed, suddenly looked at the humble Edward in surprise, “Young Master Edward, you’re a Silver Knight now??”
Thinking back, that kind of ridiculous power was indeed not something that a Bronze Knight could display.
Edward’s words caused the expressions of the audience to change.
Duke Ják, who was standing on the platform, was pleasantly surprised. He laughed and said, “As expected of the son of I, Ják Feylan. A Silver Knight at the age of 14. Even in the entire Empire, he’s ranked among the top. Great!”
“However, even if you are a Silver Knight, it is impossible for you to hit Field, a Star Knight.”
After the pleasant surprise, Duke Ják asked.
