Lin Che attacked for a long time without success and could only give up.
He knew that with his current martial arts realm, he was still far from being Luo Hao's opponent.
So, he changed his objective to focus on learning.
Immediately, Lin Che's moves began to change, becoming softer and less sharp.
He wanted Luo Hao to attack him, and then he would use the endless variations of the 'Tianshan Plum Hand' to break her moves.
Luo Hao seemed to have seen through his thoughts and began to feed him moves.
The two constantly exchanged blows, and Lin Che's martial arts improved rapidly.
Time unknowingly reached noon, and the morning's training finally ended.
Upon returning to the hotel, Lin Che noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off.
Everyone was sitting in the living room, but Morgan's gaze was fixed firmly on Merlin, making Merlin very uncomfortable and showing an innocent smile.
Seeing this scene, Lin Che remembered that these two were characters from 'Arthurian Legend' and were old acquaintances.
Fortunately, they did not belong to the same timeline. Morgan was from the Lostbelt, while Merlin was from the timeline of the old sword.
It was precisely because of this that the two did not fight.
If it had been the male Merlin, they would have probably started fighting long ago.
Lin Che shook his head, too lazy to bother with them.
He was already exhausted from cultivating all morning.
He went to the bathroom to take a shower, changed into clean clothes, and had the hotel staff bring up lunch.
While everyone was eating together, Morgan was still staring at Merlin.
Lin Che said to her helplessly, "She is not the Merlin you know. There's no need to transfer your hatred onto her."
Morgan, however, said dismissively, "Although she and I are from different timelines, in her timeline, she must have helped Arthur seize the throne!"
Her tone was very certain, which was also an acknowledgment of Merlin.
Merlin said with an awkward expression, "This is the destined Human History."
Morgan's expression changed, looking somewhat displeased, "That's why I hate Pan-Human History. In my world, I defeated everyone and became the Queen!"
Merlin sighed, "That's why your world is called a Lostbelt!"
Hearing this, Morgan immediately stood up, her staff appearing in her hand, and said in a cold tone, "Do you want to be the first Servant to be eliminated?"
Seeing this, Merlin also stood up, his staff appearing in his hand, and replied with a calm expression, "You can try!"
Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense.
Lin Che glanced at Luo Hao and Hestia.
Luo Hao made no move, still eating her meal elegantly.
Hestia, however, became interested, and a burst of Divine Power erupted, instantly suppressing Morgan and Merlin, rendering them unable to move.
"You two, behave yourselves. Don't disturb others while they're eating!" Hestia said, crossing her arms, in a fierce yet adorable tone.
A hint of horror flashed in the eyes of both Morgan and Merlin.
They knew the person before them was a God, but they never expected her to be this powerful.
With their top-tier Spirit Origins, even in the Age of Gods, they were super experts. It wouldn't be a problem to spar with a God's main body.
But Hestia's power was somewhat beyond their comprehension.
Just her Divine Power alone suppressed them. How terrifying must her true strength be?
Seeing that the two women were no longer antagonistic, Hestia withdrew her Divine Power and continued eating.
Lin Che also breathed a sigh of relief.
But then he thought, after the Holy Grail War ends, can he keep them?
Even if he keeps them, does he have the ability to prevent them from fighting each other?
...
After lunch and a short rest, Lin Che began his afternoon training.
In the afternoon, Hestia was supposed to teach Type-Moon Magic, but now there was an additional teacher, Merlin!
Since magic couldn't be cast indoors, Hestia, like Luo Hao, took Lin Che to a deserted area on the outskirts of Fuyuki City when teaching.
Today's lesson was about Crests, but before teaching, Hestia said, "A Che Jun, let me update your Blessing!"
"I haven't fought any monsters, so my Blessing shouldn't have changed, right?" Lin Che asked, somewhat uncertainly.
Hestia lightly tapped his head and said, "Idiot, the increase in Blessing isn't just from fighting monsters. Your daily training and exercise will also be recorded and become your experience for leveling up!"
"I see, then update it quickly!" Lin Che said, somewhat impatiently.
Saying that, he took off his shirt, revealing his toned upper body.
His muscles were neatly arranged, with smooth lines, looking just like a work of art.
With the Sacred Fire transformation, plus the intense training over the past few days, Lin Che's physique was now perfect.
Merlin's face flushed slightly, and she said with a smile, "It seems I can also learn some secrets today."
Hestia didn't care about her identity being exposed. What was the big deal about being a God from another world?
The two Counter Forces didn't intervene, so who else would dare?
She saw her index finger slit, and a drop of Divine Blood dripped onto Lin Che's back.
Instantly, a torch tattoo appeared on Lin Che's back.
Below the torch were many sacred characters, looking incredibly profound.
Upon seeing this scene, Merlin's eyes widened, staring intently at those characters.
The wound on Hestia's index finger healed instantly, and then her hands glowed with blue and white light, beginning to upgrade the Blessing on Lin Che's back and write new attributes!
Soon, the Blessing update was complete.
Lin Che couldn't see his back and couldn't understand the Divine characters, so he could only ask Hestia to read it out.
[Name]: Lin Che
[Level]: LV1
[Ability Value]: Strength: I0→D555 丨 Endurance: I0→D599 丨 Dexterity: I0→D520 丨 Agility: I0→D546 丨 Demon Power: I0→A888
[Development Ability]:
[Magic]: 「」,「」,「」
[Skill]:
Hestia was also seeing Lin Che's attributes for the first time. The last time she gave him the Blessing was through the Chat Group, so she didn't see the initial attributes.
But initial attributes always start from zero, so it didn't matter whether she saw them or not.
The most important thing was the Magic section. Lin Che actually had three magic slots, which was the highest level, meaning he could awaken three types of magic!
Of course, these three types of magic referred to The Dungeon World's magic.
Lin Che could still learn Type-Moon World's magic and Mushoku Tensei World's magic.
"A Che Jun, four of your current ability values have reached D rank, and your Demon Power has even reached A rank. In other words, you can level up now!" Hestia said happily, patting Lin Che's back.
Leveling up the Blessing in The Dungeon World primarily depends on ability values.
Ability values have five attributes: Strength, Endurance, Dexterity, Agility, and Demon Power. As long as one attribute reaches D rank, you can choose to level up.
Before leveling up, you need to complete an adventure, which means defeating a monster stronger than yourself, or achieving a great feat that even the Gods would marvel at.
After leveling up, ability values will reset to zero and start again.
And so on. This is The Dungeon World's cultivation system.
