Chapter 7329 A Simple Life
Valierius and Statius were carried back by Virgilio and Vincenzo – in the style of the Tenth Knight, once they won, they would naturally parade them through the streets, and they wouldn't let even the newly minted miracles off the hook.
Moreover, the current 20th Eagle Emblem Legion is still too weak. Even if it achieves a miracle, it is not even complete with the first plus sign. It cannot even face twice the height of the sky because its foundation is still too weak.
But in the end, they are the Miracle Legion. They won, and they deserve to be brought back as spoils of war.
"Valirios, if this were a battlefield, you would already be dead," Virgilio said before knocking the revived Valirio unconscious. "Here, you won't die, but you must also understand the consequences of challenging the strong. You're welcome to challenge me again when you've improved."
The Roman Senate may call them greedy, but they were undeniably intelligent. For example, when Virgilio carried Valierius over, many senators were already waiting to greet him. After all, it goes without saying what kind of opponent Virgilio would kick so hard.
“Leave it to me.” Gordian showed no embarrassment at being slapped in the face. He had been mentally prepared ever since Valierius, that brat, declared that he would deal with the Tenth Knight. He just hadn’t expected his brat to grow to this extent.
I originally thought I would lose face, but now, I'm still honored even in defeat!
"Congratulations! I never expected Valierius to enter this field at such a young age. He is truly a prodigy," Ganassis said with a touch of emotion.
Regarding Valliius's challenge to Virgilio, Ganassis had previously only thought of it as reckless, but now, witnessing Valliius's miraculous achievement, Ganassis felt nothing but envy.
After all, by now, those at the very top know that in addition to its powerful combat capabilities, the Miracle Transformation also possesses very special characteristics. These characteristics are the core reason why the Miracle Transformation serves as a pillar of humanity. And now, Valierius has stepped into it, and the Twenty Eagles Legion is soaring into the sky.
"Haha, I didn't know either. I didn't expect that after letting him roam free for a while, he would achieve so much on his own. It's just that his temperament definitely needs some tempering," Gordian said with a smile, instructing his guards to take good care of Valierius and then dispersing those who wanted to watch the show.
Before Valliorus achieved his miracle, he was Gordian's favorite son. At one point, Gordian even wanted to adopt Valliorus as his own son. If the adopted sons of the Han Dynasty already had a certain ability to inherit the legal system, then the adopted sons of Rome were practically the heirs to the political legacy. Just look at the Roman emperors; most of them were adopted sons.
Therefore, even if Vallius hadn't achieved a miracle and brought honor to Gordian, and had been thoroughly humiliated by the Tenth Knights, losing face in Italy, given what Gordian had said to Vallius in the Senate, the latter would surely have come to pick up his beloved son!
What's more, Gordian doesn't feel ashamed at all; on the contrary, he feels a sense of honor. This is the Miracle Legion! The mighty Rome, from the monarchy to now, several hundred years ago, has only ever had three such legions. See? This is my son, my dearest son.
Without a doubt, given my son's performance today, I'm going to push for the 20th Eagle Legion to go to Spain this afternoon to crush the local rebels and safeguard Rome's great cause!
"Ouch..." Valierius was young, only twenty-five years old. He was carried back by Virgilio and woke up after resting for a while. After waking up, he groaned a couple of times and started cursing Virgilio, saying that if the other party had the guts, he should fight him one-on-one. What kind of skill was it to gang up on so many people?
"The core of military strategy is to bully the weak with the strong. Who wants to fight you one-on-one? If you keep babbling, wait until Duke Gordian leaves, and then see if I can coax you to sleep again." Virgilio didn't tolerate Valerius at all. So what if he was a miracle worker? He didn't act like he was any different. I, the Tenth Legion, the first and longest-standing miracle worker legion in Rome!
Valierius was getting a little flustered by Virgilio's shamelessness, but considering the difference in strength between the two, he didn't say much. After all, Virgilio was definitely capable of defeating him. It wasn't a matter of whether he dared to fight or not; it was that he couldn't win!
"Not bad, practice more. You took a shortcut to balance your mind and body, and you used your miracle ability to steal something. It's a good idea to inscribe power into your will and flesh and blood, but that's just external force. Your foundation and will are not up to par." Virgilio still gave Valierius some face. He had hit him, but he still had to tell him what needed to be told.
After all, having been Rome's oldest legion of miracles for over two hundred years, the Tenth Knight still possessed a certain aristocratic air under Caesar's gaze. Of course, as long as you weren't one of the Thirteen Roses, it wouldn't matter. Even if you were defeated by the Tenth Knight, he would still offer you the most objective guidance because you were a member of Rome.
In any case, with the Tenth Knight having developed to this level, the path of a normal legion is completely clear.
"I suggest you spar with Alessandro more often with your men to strengthen your own abilities as much as possible. Although your willpower is relatively weak, your mental-body balance, under the miraculous characteristics, can transform your physical attributes into willpower strength. And in terms of willpower, your path has been too smooth." Virgilio said this and left.
Although Valerius was furious that Virgilio had cornered him and beaten him up, and even more furious that he hadn't won, he would still listen to the advice of a strongman. So, despite his extreme anger, he listened to every single one of Virgilio's suggestions, and even planned to transfer the 20th Eagle Emblem Legion from Great Britain to have a good spar with Alessandro.
“Virgilio is right. Instead of having you study the path of willpower, it would be better to improve your physical fitness. The quality of your legions is decent among the Praetorian Guard, but they are still relatively weak. As for the path of willpower…” Perennis also came over at this time. Although beating his beloved grandson was important, the emergence of a new star in Rome was more important.
"Your Honor," Valierius rose with a limp and bowed.
"How's Statius doing lately?" Perennis asked casually.
"Together we broke through the shadow world of Great Britain, devoured the shadows within, and he advanced to the next realm, but he didn't. I advanced myself and felt much stronger, but I always feel like someone is watching my position. I don't know why," Valierius recalled and explained.
Previously, Valerius did not know that Statius was Perennis's grandson, so he often gave Statius a hard time—damn it, a mere stray dog from the Italian region dared to try to steal my legionary commander position, was he looking for death!
Once they found out, they became even less polite. You son of a bitch, you referee's grandson, you think you can bully us country folk? You want a beating, don't you!
There's no way around it; the kind of formidable individuals who emerge from small towns are absolutely not lacking in both mindset and willpower. Even if there's an element of luck involved, they still have the resolve to kill without hesitation. In other words, through years of beatings, Valierius tamed Statius with his iron fists, turning him into his staunch camp leader, and together they risked their lives to conquer the shadow world of Great Britain.
"You want him to be promoted, but he won't?" Perennis thought to himself. His grandson was only twenty-four this year. Was that the age for him to be promoted and break through the barrier? If he could be promoted, he would probably break Rome's record for breaking through the barrier.
Human beings have limits. As Virgilio said, Valerius's life was too smooth. He had no setbacks, and whatever obstacles he encountered, he simply crushed them. Even achieving miracles seemed like a matter of course.
Such a life is certainly wonderful, but it is bound to be lacking in terms of willpower. However, Valierius has developed his special and exceptional talent for mental and physical balance to an extraordinary degree, and it can even have amazing effects after miraculous transformations.
Therefore, Valierius naturally believed that he, his comrades, and others should enjoy a smooth life. As for the past insults directed at them as Italian city bumpkins, it didn't matter. That was because he didn't understand them well enough before. Now that he understood them, they were brothers and should all enjoy such a simple life.
Therefore, after Valirios devoured the Shadow World and advanced to the Breakthrough Realm, he felt that he should be able to advance in the same way as his brother Statius. In reality, Statius had already done his best to keep up with Valirios. Of course, he could indeed advance, but the effort they put in was on a completely different level.
If Vallius hadn't first achieved a miracle by gnawing at the world's barriers, his mad behavior would have certainly gotten him out of trouble, but Statius might have been dead.
“I’ll go check on Statius later.” Perennis began to ponder what his grandson had gone through to be able to break through the barrier at such a young age. Could it be that his son was actually the most useless one in the family, and that guy hadn’t even achieved the breakthrough yet?
"Here you go, Your Honor. I've brought your grandson too. To be fair, he's pretty tough." Vincenzo appeared carrying Statius. It was a battle between legion commanders and camp commanders. And compared to the completely unscrupulous Virgilio, Vincenzo at least showed some courtesy when fighting someone he knew, so he was a little late.
Perennis took it and, after a brief examination, discovered that his grandson's development was astonishing. There was no way around it; Statius really wanted to become the legion commander and wanted to crush Valerius. Back in Italy, he was also known as a genius.
Although Perennis was largely to blame at that time, Statius truly believed this claim. Furthermore, after arriving in Great Britain, he achieved the ability to separate his inner energy from his body before the age of twenty and obtained the Phantom Eagle Banner, further proving that he was indeed a genius.
As a genius, he certainly couldn't admit defeat. Seeing Vallius constantly outmaneuvering him, Statius didn't hold back either. He outmaneuvered him, relentlessly, refusing to believe it. "You've gone too far! I'm a nobleman from Italy, born and hailed as a genius, surrounded by praise. I can't possibly outmaneuver a country bumpkin like you! Outmaneuver me, relentlessly!"
From a certain perspective, Statius even surpassed the limits of his own talent in the process of pursuing Valierius. He knocked on the door of breaking the boundary in his early twenties, and even broke the boundary with a little more effort. What more can be said about such talent? Moreover, he was also the camp commander of the Miracle Legion. As one of the first creators, breaking through the limits of the three talents and stepping into the realm of miracles in the last battle of the Shadow World of Great Britain was also the result of his and Valierius's joint battle.
So from a certain perspective, this kid is also useless. He only cares about the legion commander and has no hope of continuing the Perennis family line. All he thinks about every day is how to continue to strengthen himself and train hard so that one day he can pin Valierius to the ground.
"Not bad, he has indeed developed to the point where he can break through the barrier. It feels like he has suppressed the barrier." Perennis was overjoyed after touching him a few times. His grandson was just an ordinary little genius back then. It was only because he was born into his family that others praised him out of respect for him, the Killer Star. He never expected that he would actually develop to this level.
Indeed, while innate talent is one aspect, one can still develop it through hard work.
"He said he needed to hone his spirit and energy so that he could reach a higher peak before making a breakthrough and defeating me." Vallius took this as a casual joke between friends, unaware that Statius really meant it.
In fact, Statius did not choose to advance to break the barrier because Valerius was a little younger than him. If he had chosen to advance, he would have been the second youngest player to break the barrier in Rome. What good would that have done? It would have been better to hone his skills and not rush into a breakthrough.
After all, even if someone can't even enter the realm of breaking through the boundary after breaking through the boundary, can they still be considered a realm-breaking level expert?
Isn't that still a struggle with internal energy leaving the body? Since that's the case, why not hone your foundation and solidify your basic combat strength? That way, you might accumulate enough to break through successfully and be able to pin Valierius to the ground and vent all the pent-up emotions you've had over the years!
Valierius is completely uninhibited when it comes to breakthroughs. He has a takeoff mentality. If he can break through, he will never suppress it. What's the point of polishing the foundation? I've already broken through. How can there be a problem with the foundation? Break through first, and then we'll talk about that. Breaking through will make it easier to get resources and prove myself.
"This kid probably has his own ideas. Oh well, I won't push him anymore. He's already at this level, much better than I was back then." Perennis was very satisfied with his grandson's abnormal development. He was not even twenty-five years old yet and could reach the Breakthrough Level at any time. He could also command a large army and was the camp commander of the Miracle Legion. With this kind of setup, what else was there to pave the way for?
More importantly, these guys don't rely on the family's resources at all. They rely entirely on their own efforts to acquire resources and advance their ranks. They are practically the backbone of the family. Turning his head to look at the commander of the Third Giant Legion who had already approached, who was also his good-for-nothing son, Africanus, he sighed. He still hadn't reached the threshold of breaking through the barrier, and the legion hadn't even reached the third talent level. He had also consumed so many of his family's resources. He was a piece of trash, a complete waste.
"Judge, what kind of look is that!" Africanus came over to look at his son and felt his father's gaze. It was a look he was very familiar with, a look of looking down on trash. He had felt this look many times, which was why he had run away from his family at a young age and went to the eastern province of Rome to become a minor governor. Although he relied on his family background to some extent, it was already incredibly impressive for him to become a legionary commander with a single-digit eagle emblem at his age!
"Sigh." Perennis sighed, not wanting to talk to his son. Back when he was blocking his way in Northern Europe, he actually had to team up with Ma Chao to dare to come here. I didn't even take Ma Chao as my adopted son. I really want to delete this account and create a new one.
"You stay here and take care of Statius until he wakes up." Perennis was a little angry when he saw his son, especially after seeing how outstanding his grandson was. He felt that his character was indeed wasted, and he didn't want to communicate anymore. He turned and left.
As soon as Perennis left, a group of elders surrounded him. Looking at Valilius's young face, these elders wished they could devour him whole. There was nothing to say; so young, so powerful, a perfect fusion of individual and collective strength. There was nothing more to say; this was the son-in-law they needed most.
The "Valirios, I am XX" series of introductions began, and soon Valirios received a ton of invitations to banquets, with various people introducing him to their daughters, nieces, and grandnieces. In short, the defeated Valirios suddenly became a hot commodity.
There's no way around it, he's not even twenty-five years old yet, and he's already truly standing at the pinnacle of all the Roman legions. Moreover, as a miracle legionary commander, there's absolutely no possibility of him being assassinated. Not to mention the issue of foresight, just the opponent's raw strength alone is enough to overwhelm you. His survivability and strength are all maxed out. Plus, Valierius's character model is also top-notch. Needless to say, life is on easy mode!
"What do you think of the other person?" Alessandro nudged Virgilio with his elbow and asked.
Virgilio glanced at Alessandro indifferently. "I've just seen a new star emerge. I just wonder if this new star will be like the Second Trajan of yesteryear."
Upon hearing this, Alessandro's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. "The Second Trajan!"
