The food Du Chen was chewing almost came out of his mouth. Can someone without Dou Qi actually knock down a second-level fighter god?

Is the martial god in this world really worthless?!

Old Foye smiled and said, “Young master, Aliza told me. You taught Kaman and Frith today. Your point is that if Aliza can defeat a second-level fighter , he must also be a fighter god, right?”

Du Chen nodded.

“It's not like that. Aliza is not a fighter god, nor has he cultivated Dou Qi! Back then, this old servant found you dull being alone and wanted to buy a playmate for you. Coincidentally, I saw Aliza and a group of orcs being auctioned…”

Old Foye glanced apologetically at Aliza and continued, “At the time, this old servant felt that the child wasn't very bright but thought that if he bought him, young master, you wouldn't be bullied by him. Instead, you could argue with him. So, I bought him with a silver coin. But later, this old servant found out that Aliza has orc blood, and not just any orc blood, but the bloodline of an orc warrior. He is a born warrior!”

Aliza is an orc? No wonder he had such an extraordinary physique at the age of fifteen. But Old Foye has a real talent for opportunistic trades! A few years ago, a silver coin bought him Aliza, who can now knock down a second-level fighter!

Du Chen punched Aliza again, feeling his chest muscles as strong as gold and iron, and couldn't help but ask, “Orcs must be very powerful, right? If Aliza can already defeat second-level fighter god, how many levels of god figter can a true orc warrior defeat?”

“Orcs are indeed powerful compared to low-level fighter god, thanks to their talents. However, when a fighter advances to the sixth level and becomes a true fighter god, they become much more powerful than orc warriors! Nowadays, there are actually many exceptionally talented orcs going to the fighter god Academy to learn Dou Qi!”

At this point, Old Foye suddenly slapped his own mouth and apologized, “Oh no, young master, look at me, I mentioned Dou Qi again in front of you!”

Francis cannot cultivate Dou Qi, so Old Foye never talks about martial gods in front of him. But he slipped up this time, and Old Foye felt quite guilty.

“It's okay, I may not be able to become a warrior god, but there are still plenty of choices!” Du Chen set the tableware for Old Fuye and smiled, saying, “Uncle Foye, let's eat!”

After sitting down, Old Fuye didn't pick up the utensils but sat there quietly, with tears streaming down his face. A fool whom he had invested years of effort into had finally learned to respect the elderly… This…

Everything he had done was worth it!

…

The night passed without any conversation. When Du Chen woke up the next morning, his mind felt heavy and dizzy. The overwhelming emotions left behind by Little Francis had consumed him, as he struggled in the emotions of a foolish person's unwillingness and grievance throughout the night.

Rubbing his sore head, Du Chen felt his whole body ache, as if he had engaged in intense exercise the previous night.

After freshening up, Du Chen glanced at the tattoo on his buttocks that was about to blossom like a flower, then walked out of the tower.

At the base of a wall beside the tower, the fat woman who had been reprimanded by Du Chen the previous day was gossiping with a few other servants. “Hey, have you heard? Last night, the eldest young master of the Kriesen family, Kaman, lost his holy artifact. Now he's frantically searching with the city guards like a mad dog!”

“And I heard that the holy artifact has already recognized its master! That means we must have a ninth-level warrior god in our City of Saint Kayne. Otherwise, who could force a third-level holy artifact to recognize its master?”

Hearing these words, Du Chen smirked knowingly, feeling a bit frustrated!

Damn it, he had already ‘conquered' the ram's horn war hammer successfully, but he couldn't use it. The feeling was like a perverted man stripping a girl naked, only to suddenly realize that he was a hermaphrodite… How unlucky!

At this moment, a warrior from the family hurriedly approached. Recognizing him, Du Chen remembered that he was the one who had been kicked by Aliza's big foot yesterday!

The warrior glanced nervously at the tower, as if afraid that Aliza would suddenly jump out from inside. When he saw that only Du Chen was there, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Francis, there's a couple outside claiming to be Matthew, and they have your token!”

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

Matthew and his wife were really adorable. They had already given Du Chen an opportunity to do a good deed again so soon!

“I know!” Du Chen walked past the warrior with a smile and whispered, “Yesterday, did Aliza serve you well?”

The warrior's expression froze.

Du Chen's voice turned cold, “Remember, in the future, address me as ‘Young Master Francis'!”

Du Chen left the Saint Kayne Manor. He didn't bring Aliza with him because he intended to engage in some shady business this time, something Aliza shouldn't see.

The elderly couple he had helped yesterday was kneeling in front of the Sigru statue by the door, praying.

Du Chen approached them affectionately, “Isn't this Mr. and Mrs. Matthew? It seems like you have something that requires my help. Don't even think about denying it, or else I'll send you to the stake!”

Mr. Matthew stood up and respectfully smiled, “Yes, Young Master Francis, we do indeed have something that requires your help!”

“This is the best news I've heard today!” Du Chen laughed. It didn't matter if he wasn't a fighter god or had no idea what the fighter god did. What mattered was that he had to cultivate the “The Lotus Treasure Mirror” in order to get close to beautiful girl!

“You see, our cart of vegetables was overturned by the city guards' warhorses. I want to claim compensation, but… we're just commoners, we dare not seek out the officers of the city guards!”

Du Chen calculated that the city guards were nothing more than urban management officers at best. As the son of the third-ranked figure in the empire and the descendant with the legendary fighter god, he was born a noble, after all!

With his status, it shouldn't be a problem to claim compensation from the city guards. This was a good deed he could do. “No problem, lead the way! I will definitely help you get the compensation!”

Excitedly, Du Chen followed Mr. and Mrs. Ma through the streets and arrived at a church.

Why was it a church? Were the city guards stationed inside the church?

Du Chen took a closer look. Yes, it was indeed a church, extremely similar to the Christian churches from his past life. The only difference was that a statue had been placed where the crucifix would have been in front of the main entrance.

The statue depicted a man wearing a long robe, dressed like a warrior, with both hands raised high. Flames were burning fiercely on his body, and he had a pained expression.

It was as if he was burned!

Du Chen secretly thought to himself that the influence of the fighter god Religion was indeed great. Even the security system of the capital city was operated within the fighter God Church!

There were many people in the square in front of the church. Some came here to pray in the early morning, some were soldiers of the city guards coming out to train, and there were also poor people who came to seek justice and petition the city guards! After much difficulty, Du Chen led Mr. and Mrs. Matthew to squeeze their way to the entrance of the church. But just then, the church doors opened, and shouts could be heard from inside. “Move aside, everyone move aside!”

A team of soldiers in dark blue armor, holding long spears, charged out from inside.

But there were too many people in front of the gate. The leading officer frowned and raised the whip in his hand.

Crack, crack! He cracked the whip in the air and shouted, “Did you hear that? Make way, the city guards are carrying out official duties. Everyone clear the way!”

The crowd moved aside, and Du Chen and Mr. and Mrs. Ma were also pushed to the side. At this moment, another person walked out from inside the gate. Surprisingly, it was Kaman, who had been lectured by Du Chen yesterday.

Kaman's face looked terrible. His sky-blue hair was messy and disheveled, and his eyes were swollen. It was obvious that he hadn't slept well the entire night.

In fact, Kaman had hardly slept last night. He had been leading the city guards in search of the lost sacred artifacts. He had just come back for a quick breakfast and was about to go out again.

When he saw Du Chen, he was momentarily stunned. He looked around but didn't see Aliza, which relieved him somewhat. He walked up to Du Chen with a cold smile and said, “Isn't this the shame of the Saint Kein family? How did you end up here? Huh? You two old stubborn fools are here too. Didn't you get enough beating yesterday!”

He stared at Mr. and Mrs. Matthew , and the elderly couple trembled in fear, clinging to each other and continuously retreating into the crowd.

Du Chen grabbed the hands of Mr. and Mrs. Mathews and smirked, “Oh, St. John's City is truly small. How come I keep running into you everywhere? Dear Master Kaman, what brings you to the City Guard again?”

With a sly grin, Du Chen pretended to suddenly understand, “Oh, I see. This morning, I overheard the servants whispering about your holy artifact being lost. Tsk tsk, as a fighter god and the descendant of the legendary Fighting God, you have truly brought shame upon your ancestors!”

Kaman became enraged and lifted his whip, “Francis, say that again!?”

“What if I say it again? Kaman, you are disgracing your ancestors, and that's a fact!” Du Chen raised his hands innocently and shrugged, “Goodness, dear Master Kaman, are you thinking of hitting me? But I remember that according to the Holy Teachings, it is forbidden to assault the descendant of the legendary Fighting God without cause!”

Kaman halted his descending whip in midair. He didn't dare openly violate the Holy Teachings.

In an instant, Kaman noticed the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Mathews. “Hmph, you are protected by the Holy Teachings, so I cannot harm you! But they've blocked my way and delayed the City Guard from helping me search for the holy artifact. They deserve punishment!”

Though the reasoning was somewhat far-fetched, nobles were often synonymous with irrationality. In the eyes of nobility, Kaman's actions of whipping Mr. Mathews were deemed justifiable.

Kaman, being a second-tier Orange-Clothed Warrior, knew how to properly control his force. Despite Du Chen and Mr. Mathews being in close proximity, his whip struck Mr. Mathews' head precisely and wouldn't accidentally injure Du Chen.

But would Du Chen let go of such an opportunity?

Saving lives was a great act of kindness! He tightly embraced Mr. Mathews, shielding him with his own body.

The whip lashed fiercely against Du Chen's back, causing him pain, but within his heart, he found beauty.

Du Chen deliberately endured this whip strike. Otherwise, he could have easily pushed Mr. Mathews away and made his own escape. However, according to the rules of the “The Lotus Treasure Mirror”, the greater the acts of kindness, the faster one's progress would be made! It was clear which act of kindness, saving a life or enduring on behalf of another, would be considered greater.
