Chapter 81: Living Advertisement! Giant Horse Dragon-Elephant!
Leo took two steps back, placed the sword onto the nearby sword rack, and then let out a long breath of turbid air.
Just now, he had tested this blue Trait 【Swordsmanship Comprehension】.
As expected, it was an extremely powerful Trait.
With this, he basically would no longer have to worry about lacking swordsmanship to grind in the future.
By collecting more different sword techniques and refining his own swordsmanship system—
As long as the opponent was not too far above him in realm, he could remain in an undefeated position.
Thus, outside of swordsmanship, he needed to devote more energy to the Breathing Technique.
On one side was the Breathing Technique—the foundation for transforming the body.
On the other side was swordsmanship—the means and technique of killing and combat.
As the ancients said, one must walk on two legs; neither could be neglected.
At this moment, Leo also gave Arthur a few pointers.
“Your swordsmanship proficiency is actually already quite good. Next, you should focus your main energy on the Breathing Technique.
Once your Breathing Technique advances further, your sword techniques will be able to unleash even greater combat power.”
Arthur listened attentively. Leo’s words now carried great persuasive power for him.
Indeed, he had trained swordsmanship two years ahead of others; in terms of technique, he was already quite proficient.
But… the Breathing Technique—it wasn’t that he didn’t want to practice it.
It was just that memorizing that rhythm chart… made him feel like dying…
Still, as a good brother, Leo’s words served as motivation.
As someone acknowledged by Leo as a good brother, he didn’t want to fall too far behind on the path of knighthood.
Otherwise, when Leo became a Formal Knight while he was still just a Knight’s Squire, he would truly be too embarrassed to call himself his brother.
Arthur pondered, feeling inspired. After greeting Leo, he quickly left.
A few minutes later, Leo saw those Knight’s Squires returning from outside with the horses.
Earlier, he had already instructed these horses to stroll through the castle along a route he had planned.
At this moment, Leo directly read the memory fragments and had already input all the scenes along the route into his brain.
This was a crucial intelligence channel for Leo during his period of high-speed closed-door training.
While secretly reading memories, on the surface, Leo carefully inspected the hooves of the horses.
“Look at your horse—this hoof clearly shows more wear than the other three.” Leo pointed at the white marks on the hoof. Indeed, one was far more worn.
“If this continues, this hoof will develop problems. The most direct consequence is that during long-distance runs, this hoof might suddenly stumble, and then…”
Leo put on a slightly intimidating expression and made a flipping gesture.
“Then what?” the Knight’s Squire asked seriously.
“It’ll be man and horse flipping over.”
“That serious?!” Several Knight’s Squires immediately showed worried expressions.
Of course, it wasn’t that serious. Every horse had its own walking and running habits. Leo had just used a bit of marketing exaggeration.
“As the saying goes, there are countless roads, but safety comes first. If the horseshoes aren’t properly maintained, your loved ones will shed tears.
You’ve all heard of horse-riding accidents. Not long ago, the deaths of Butler Burton and Eddie were probably due to improper horse care.”
Leo spoke vividly, using examples to make his case. “However, I’ll help you adjust the hooves and horseshoes. After that, the condition of the horses will gradually improve.
But from now on, you’ll need to bring your horses here at this time every day. I’ll observe the wear on the horseshoes and make slight posture adjustments and trace confirmations.”
Leo spoke in a deliberately mysterious manner. In truth, he just wanted an excuse to have these informants regularly provide him with intelligence.
“Of course, if after one month there’s a noticeable improvement, then you can pay the remaining treatment fee—five silver coins in total.
If there’s no effect, the one silver coin you just paid will be refunded.”
In his previous life, Leo had undergone bone-setting and corrective treatments—it was basically the same routine.
The time they spent walking the horses and the inspection fee just now served as their sunk cost.
Once a concept was planted in their minds, they would develop expectations—anticipating visible results.
Leo called these services horse optimization services.
Hoof and posture correction was just one part of it.
Later, there would also be feed proportioning, coat grooming, muscle therapy, and more.
Leo planned to promote other services at the right time, forming a systematic horse service cluster.
The advantage of this posture correction service was that it didn’t take much of his time.
He only needed to take a quick look each day, which conveniently provided him with intelligence from the previous day.
Low investment, high return—and no one could truly tell whether it was real or not.
This was a somewhat specialized field with certain barriers; no one would dare claim they were being deceived.
Previously, when Leo replaced horseshoes for others, each horse would only come once and then disappear for over a month.
During that period, Leo would lose that source of intelligence.
But after adding this service, his intelligence network would become much denser.
At the same time, his income would further increase—a win-win.
With sufficient financial resources, he could then devote all remaining time entirely to his cultivation.
“Did you just say five silver coins? That’s only paid after confirming results, right?” The Knight’s Squires exchanged glances.
They hesitated for a moment. Five silver coins wasn’t much for them.
But Leo’s explanation sounded rather mysterious—they were nobles, not fools.
They wouldn’t pay five silver coins for something unclear and uncertain in effect—
Unless this posture correction truly worked.
Seeing their hesitant yet expectant expressions, Leo began his performance.
“If you haven’t decided yet, there’s no rush. Come find me anytime once you’ve made up your minds.”
After saying this, Leo gave his white horse a look.
The white horse instantly understood and perked up.
Originally lying on the ground, it suddenly stood up. Its massive body cast a shadow that completely enveloped the Knight’s Squires.
Its star-like eyes, glossy coat, nearly four-meter height, and strong yet fluid muscles gave it a presence both elegant and imposing.
Snort—
The white horse snorted, shaking off the dust from its body.
At a glance, it no longer looked like a grass-eating animal.
More like a towering, fearsome beast.
After months of personal feeding by Leo, under the enhancement of Level 5 Mount Control, the horse’s physique, coat, and intelligence had all improved significantly.
It now carried the bearing of a supreme specimen among horses.
Meanwhile, the Knight’s Squires stared up at the towering white horse, frozen like statues.
This was, of course, deliberate.
No advertisement was better than a living example.
And this white horse was his living advertisement.
“Dragon-Elephant, go see off my esteemed guests,” Leo suddenly named the horse on a whim and gave the command loudly.
He was very satisfied with his creativity—the name fit perfectly, just like the horse itself.
Tap, tap, tap, tap.
The sound of hooves was light yet powerful—
Like drumsticks rhythmically striking the earth.
Hearing Leo’s command, Dragon-Elephant stepped toward the Knight’s Squires at the courtyard gate.
Though only a few meters away, it moved as if performing a rhythmic dance.
Each step was steady and powerful. Its glossy white coat shimmered, and its muscles traced perfectly balanced lines in motion, radiating a graceful yet powerful beauty.
Though its body was clearly much larger than other horses, its strong physique allowed it to carry such size effortlessly.
“My heavens!” The Knight’s Squires stared in awe as Dragon-Elephant approached.
Earlier, when it had been lying down dozing, they hadn’t paid much attention.
But now, seeing it up close, they were completely shocked by its size.
That wasn’t a horse—it was practically a terrifying beast.
Leo simply sat on his stool, quietly watching the stunned youngsters.
He fully understood their feelings.
In his previous life, when he rode his little electric scooter and saw those million-worth heavy motorcycles on the road, he too had felt a trace of envy.
But this time—
It was his turn to be envied.
