Chapter 116: Warriors
Before the sun could climb overhead, Achilles and Eudoros both arrived at Temple Square.
Unlike when he played Ajax before, although it was not a crushing advantage, Achilles still arrived at the temple some time earlier than Eudoros.
And when competing with Ajax, whether it is fishing or archery, Achilles is always the one who is abused.
Sitting in the square, seeing Odorus panting but still gritting his teeth and crawling over, Achilles suddenly discovered something.
Although the performance is not very obvious, Achilles can still see that Eudoros's desire to win is still very strong.
Like Ajax, he would do his best to make even a joke of betting.
Maybe geniuses have this kind of arrogance, and they don't allow themselves to lose to others.
Achilles thought for a moment, and when Odorus came over with difficulty, he said, "Odorus, let's play." ”
"Than what?"
Odorus, who was just about to lie on the ground, held on to prevent himself from falling.
"Let's see who became a warrior earlier. ”
Achilles glanced at him and said, "Not more than time, more than age." ”
Achilles is probably about a year older than Eudoros, and Achilles is a bit of a bully when compared to time.
"Okay. ”
As Achilles expected, Odorus agreed.
"Then it's decided!"
......
Time passed quickly, and when the first yellowed oak leaves on the island of Aegina drifted away, a golden source of energy crept into the source of Achilles.
Unlike the previous scenes that dissipated in an instant, in the source of Achilles, a small hair-like source power remained in the source.
It's like digging up the last handful of soil in the spring, and the clear spring that is still foaming can't wait to run out like a little fairy who has been imprisoned for many years.
Achilles felt like this, his body seemed to be activated by that source force, and a pale golden vortex of source power gradually formed in the center of the source, and the source qi in the surrounding world flowed along the source river, continuously pouring into the source.
In the source spring, one after another source qi turned into pure golden source power under the action of that golden vortex.
With the blessing of the golden source power, the pale golden swirl color also became more and more profound.
When Achilles opened his eyes, Aeakus was standing in front of him.
Aeakos laughed, the wrinkles on his face deepening by two points, "Congratulations, Achilles. From now on, you're a little warrior too. ”
"How can it be so fast?!"
Achilles blurted out not an expression of excitement and joy, but a somewhat incredulous question.
"Is there anything abnormal?"
Aeakos asked rhetorically, brushing his beard.
"I remember when Ajax started cultivating, it took a year to become a warrior. ”
"Then when did he start cultivating?"
"Four years old. ”
"What about you?"
"Uh...... Six years old. ”
"That's right. "As we get older, we become more aware of the source qi for a certain period of time, so the time it takes to become a warrior naturally decreases," Aeakos explained. ”
Aeakos smiled and said, "There are also some people with excellent talent who didn't start cultivating until they were thirteen or fourteen years old, and as a result, they became warriors in a few days, so it's normal for you to say this." ”
"I see. Achilles nodded, and then asked, "Since we will cultivate quickly when we are old next year, why do we need to cultivate since we were young?"
"Because it's a waste of time if you don't cultivate, for example, some people cultivate at the age of five and become warriors at the age of ten, while some people cultivate at the age of ten and become warriors at the age of twelve. It seems that the former took three more years, but in fact, a person who only started cultivating at the age of ten, what was he doing when he was five or ten years old?"
Aeakos looked at Achilles and smiled, "It's just a waste of time." How short is life, even if it is a demigod, it is very rare to live past a hundred years, let alone ordinary people? How many five years in life can be squandered like this?"
Achilleston realized that it was like going to school, and it was clear that it would be faster to learn addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division after the age of eleven or twelve, but students had to start learning from the age of six, also because they couldn't waste time.
"But......" Aeakos frowned, "you do seem to be too fast, it's only been more than three months, and I thought you would have at least half a year." ”
Achilleston was a little nervous, "So what do I have...... Isn't it normal?"
Aeakos reached out and pressed his hand on Achilles' shoulder, "Relax, don't be nervous." ”
Achilles adjusted his breathing, and then suddenly a source of power flowed out of Aeakos's palm and penetrated into Achilles' body.
Unlike before, Achilles' reaction was strong.
As if he had been given an anti-allergy drug, a burning sensation that Achilles himself could feel emanated down the source river in an orderly manner, but it quickly retreated.
"It's normal. "Maybe you're talented." ”
"Wait a minute, grandpa, what's going on with that feeling just now?"
"It's normal, too. "Because someone else's source force enters your body, it's a natural rejection of the body. ”
"But not before. ”
Achilles said that when Aeakos took him to feel the source qi in the past, he also poured the source power into his body, but at that time, Achilles didn't feel it at all.
"Didn't you have no cultivation of the Source Power at that time, how could you react?"
Aeakos said casually, looked around, and suddenly called over to Odorus, who was watching curiously from afar.
"Teacher, is there anything wrong with you?"
"Odorus, there is something going on at the teacher's house today, and it's almost evening, so you can go back first. ”
"Okay, teacher. Odorus saluted scrupulously, then glanced at Achilles curiously, and walked towards the carriage parked at the corner of the square.
Aeakos turned back to Achilles and said, "Let's go, Achilles, let's go home too." ”
"What's the matter today? Go back so early. Achilles looked up at the sky, and it was about three o'clock in the afternoon.
"You've become a little warrior, of course you have to go back and celebrate!"
Aeakos raised his hand and beckoned to a servant not far away.
"Master, what do you command?"
"Go and get the carriage ready, I'll use it soon. ”
