"Do you want to be better than Dior?"

"If you're sure, sign a contract with me. ”

......

In an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city, sunlight slanted down from the shattered glass above, lighting up patches of light in the empty factory. Lilia stood still in the middle of the factory, her head lowered, her hands placed in front of her chest, palms facing each other, wisps of milky white light continued to pour out from the palms of her hands, condensing together in the middle of her hands, forming the shape of something.

It was a sword hilt-like thing, translucent, made entirely of milky white light, exquisite and gorgeous, and it looked very mysterious, and now the continuous flow of light began to form the sword body, and now it was about two centimeters long, quite like a sword that had been cut off.

Time passed slowly, and suddenly there was a soft pop, and the hilt of the sword composed of light instantly shattered like a bubble and disappeared.

"Alright, that's all for today. A strange voice, which was difficult to determine gender and age, rang out abruptly.

Lilia let out a long breath, put down her hand, and slowly opened her eyes, "How are my grades?"

The strange voice sounded again: "One centimeter more than yesterday, the speed of progress is very good." ”

"It's only one centimeter? It's too slow, and it may not be completed at the end of the summer vacation. Lilia frowned slightly, looking a little unwilling.

"You are content, the mastery of the power of existence for the vast majority of people may be that level from the beginning of their awakening, it will take an unknown number of years to improve a little bit, although you have my help, but you can make significant progress every day, there is no doubt that you are a genius. There was some helplessness in the tone of the voice.

"But that's not what you said at the time, you said that as long as you sign the contract, I can be stronger than Dior. Lilia looked a little dissatisfied.

"Please, do you think this is one of those fantasy novels where you can get an incomparably powerful power from the weak and eat something, and be invincible from now on? That's just the imagination of ordinary people, this world has never been obtained for no reason, if you want to have power, you have to pay, my existence is just for you to grasp the most critical power of existence at the beginning, and it depends entirely on your own efforts to get to which point you will reach next.

As for the Dior you mentioned, it is clear from your description that he is just a mortal who is proficient in the power of the flesh, and from the moment you master the power of existence, you are no longer on the same level, is it not considered to be beyond him?

Remember what I told you about the hierarchy of power, the moment you touch the power of existence, you already hold the key to the awakening level, and all you lack is the power to put the key into the keyhole. And that brother of yours, if there is no accident, he will go around the mortal level all his life, do you think this is not really powerful?"

Listening to Hillarada's words, Lilia was silent for a long time before she said slowly, "Forget it." By the way, I remember you said that my contract with you is not unique, and there are many other people who have also signed contracts with your companions, where are they now?"

This time it was Hiralda's turn to be silent, and after a long time it said with some vicissitudes: "I don't know, I've been asleep for so long, so long that if it weren't for your appearance, I would have thought I would never wake up." Now I don't remember a lot of things, I don't know the world, I can only look at everything slowly. ”

"That's right...... And what about the enemy? you can't have no enemy, will it affect my family?" Lilia suddenly remembered something, and asked a little hurriedly.

"Enemies, of course, but you don't think you'll be able to reach my previous level of enemies right now, do you?" said with a smile: "You're a rookie recruit now, it's too early to think about this, you can't touch anything for decades, and it won't affect your family at all." ”

Listening to Hillarada's words, Lilia breathed a long sigh of relief. She pulled open her neckline, held the purple-red cat's eye gemstone necklace on her chest in the palm of her hand, and looked at it, only to see that there seemed to be a hazy layer of smoke writhing in the gem, which was the body of the Hillarda she was talking to.

She didn't expect that the stone that came out of nowhere, but a little delicate, would become what it is now, and it would allow her to touch a world that she had never imagined before.

I remember that night, she suddenly heard a voice in her sleep, and kept making wishes to her in exchange for signing a contract. Before, she only thought it was a cranky dream in a dream, and she didn't pay attention to it until it put forward the condition of "becoming stronger than Dior", and she was a little confused because of Dior and Melissa, and immediately subconsciously agreed, who knew that this was not a dream, but real.

However, after learning that this unknown existence that calls herself Hillarda does not need her to do anything, but only to pass on a special power called the power of existence, and it can also bring her a series of benefits such as eternal youth and long life, and knowing that this contract cannot be dissolved after it is made, unless she dies, in this case, she can only accept this reality with half joy and half sadness.

"Okay, that's the end of today's training, let's go back first, get a beauty sleep early, and women should be kind to themselves." ”

Hillarda let out a long yawn, and a scene of a lazy woman stretching her waist suddenly appeared in Lilia's mind, which was diametrically opposed to Hillarda's usual appearance of being a high-ranking person, and she was speechless for a while.

"I'm telling you, sleeping is really important, don't think you can resist it when you're young...... Hey, someone's coming. ”

Lilia immediately looked up and looked towards the entrance of the factory, and saw three young men dressed as thugs walking in.

"Cut, it turned out to be three scraps. Hillarda said disdainfully, "I'm going to sleep, you solve it early, go back early." ”

At this time, one of the three thugs pointed at Lilia and said, "Boss, you see I'm right, that chick has something good on her!"

Lilia immediately noticed that the eyes of the three thugs were suddenly focused on the beautiful gemstone necklace on her chest, and her eyes were full of greed, and she immediately put the necklace back in her clothes.

"Little girl, obediently hand over the necklace, I'm in a good mood today, let you go. The stout thug known as the boss said with a look of surprise on Lilia's face.

The other two thugs laughed together.

Click.

Lilia looked at these guys who weren't even martial artists, and her clenched right fist made a sound of bones colliding.

"I'm not in a good mood these days, so you're out of luck!"

......

On the country road in the other corner of the city, there are golden fields waiting for the autumn harvest nearby, and there are few people on weekdays, but at this time there are several people facing each other here.

There was only one person in the middle, a middle-aged man who looked a little down, and if Lilia was here, she would recognize that it was the person who hit her at the entrance of the hospital that day. On the other side, there were a total of four people, all of whom were young and middle-aged men in uniform white suits, wearing wide-brimmed hats and leather gloves, surrounding the middle-aged man in four directions, blocking all the directions he might flee from, but they seemed to have some consideration for the middle-aged man, and they just surrounded him and did not dare to act rashly.

"Thorn, you traitor to the Lord dared to plot to assassinate the Bishop and stole five Spirit Stones, do you think you can escape by escaping from the principality......?

Suddenly, a grand and majestic voice came, before the person arrived, the sound had already rolled in, and then the surrounding grass and trees were low, revealing a white-robed figure walking slowly, and the momentum was extremely strong for a while.

"Emilon, I didn't expect it to be you, an old classmate, who came after me. The middle-aged man smiled self-deprecatingly, "To be able to let you, who is known as the first master of the inquisition, really look up to me." ”

Emilon walked slowly, his face full of vicissitudes, "Sinner, you still don't admit your guilt, do you think you ran away?"

"......Confession?" the middle-aged man, Sean, laughed, at first chuckling, then getting higher and higher, and finally even going crazy. "To whom do you confess your sins? You fools or the liar robber who has sat on the throne for countless years? Sinners? Who is the sinner between us?"

"It looks like you're determined to resist, so I'm sorry. Emilon walked into the encirclement and waved his hand, and the four white-clothed men immediately took a dozen steps back, expanding the encirclement a lot.

"Hehe, then come on, I also want to see what qualifications you have as a genius?"

Thorne's right hand came out of his long sleeve, and the back of his hand was scarred, as if it had been covered by more scars, and just by looking at the current appearance, you can imagine the pain of creating these scars in the first place.

With Thorn's movements, wisps of orange-red light like dusk converged around his body, and an indescribable killing momentum surged out.

But Emilon was not moved by this vision in the slightest, he lowered his head slightly, and slowly turned the page with a black canon in his right hand.

In an instant, a dazzling light like the scorching sun shot out, engulfing everything.

......

Bang!

With a heavy muffled sound, Dior was kicked in the abdomen by Rosalind and kicked nearly ten meters away before falling to the ground.

Rosalind walked up to him and looked at him condescendingly.

"I'll admit you're a genius, but there's a lot more you need to do to earn my approval. That's all for today, you can go back on your own after you finish the rest of the exercises. With that, she turned and left.

But Dio didn't see it, and Rosalind turned around with a little smile on her face.

For this amazingly talented little junior brother, whether it was the curator Valen or the three junior brothers and sisters of their same generation, they all watched him grow up with a very gratifying attitude, and did not hesitate to teach him the experience and skills they had summed up from years of cultivation and fighting.

Because the strength of Dior is the strength of the entire martial arts hall, and for them, the martial arts hall is the home, and the whole family is the most important thing, and the slight loss of the individual in front of this is completely negligible.

Especially after the events in Mannheim, although everyone is not too clear about what happened to Dior, their frightening growth rate makes them surprised and encouraged.

Because of this, Rosalind will not show mercy to her subordinates in the almost actual combat training, and completely aims to completely defeat Dior, and squeeze out all of Dior's potential as much as possible in this way.
