Lord of the Frozen Winter: Starting with Daily Intelligence Reports

chapter 86 - Blood Talent: Trajectory


Bloodline Talents are not something every Knight possesses.In fact, most Knights never awaken a Bloodline Talent in their entire lives, nor do they even show any signs of it.But a very small number of lucky individuals awaken their Bloodline Talent the moment they become an Apprentice Knight.It cannot be accumulated through arduous training like Aura cultivation; it is purely a product of talent, and even...Carries a hint of destiny.And Lord Louis finally welcomed his awakening today.The Bloodline Talent he activated is called 【Trajectory】.Its most basic ability is to briefly predict a target's movement trajectory within two seconds, by consuming Aura and focusing attention.Additionally, there is a passive effect: when encountering a fatal danger, a faint premonition of warning will be triggered.At first glance, this ability does not seem remarkable.Two seconds? What can that accomplish?But in the life-and-death instant of a Knight's duel, one or two seconds of initiative can be the difference between life and death.Against an opponent of comparable realm, even a moment of hesitation can be a fatal flaw.Moreover, Bloodline Talents are not static.As one's Aura realm improves, it will also strengthen and even derive new abilities.An excited Lord Louis pushed open his tent and walked out.The night wind blew through the camp, and the firelight flickered; everything seemed normal.But the next moment, an Elite Knight standing guard outside suddenly lit up, exclaiming, “Lord… you’ve broken through?!”With this exclamation, cheers erupted almost instantly.“The Lord has broken through!”“That’s wonderful!”“Congratulations, Lord Louis!”The Knights who were originally patrolling and on guard gathered around, their faces filled with genuine joy.They never lacked respect for the strong, but even more than strength, they were moved earlier by Lord Louis's calm, decisive, and generous nature.In the most difficult times, it was this young Lord who led them across the wasteland, established a foothold in the North, slew Snowsworn in night battles, and seized victory at Qingyu Ridge.They were already 99.9% satisfied with this young Lord.The remaining 0.01% was merely regret that his cultivation was slightly lagging.But now, even this small regret is slowly being filled.“If he continues at this pace… it won’t be a dream for the Lord to become a Legendary Knight.”“Hahahahaha.”After the cheers subsided, Lord Louis suddenly spoke, “I want to test my strength.”He scanned the crowd and finally pointed to a tall, intermediate Elite Knight: “You, come spar with me.”This was a battle-hardened Elite Knight, whose strength was steady and Aura profound.Moreover, he was a full minor rank higher than the newly breakthrough Lord Louis.The surroundings instantly fell silent, and the other Knights looked at each other, their faces showing “this isn’t good.”“Lord, a one-rank difference is no laughing matter…”“If Frio strikes too hard…”Frio himself was extremely nervous, his face a little pale, stammering, “Lord, how about… we just go easy…”“If you ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) hold back,” Lord Louis’s voice suddenly dropped half a tone, “I’ll kick you out of Red Tide Territory.”“…”Seeing that Lord Louis was not joking, the camp quieted down.“Understood.” Frio swallowed hard and nodded.Thus, a duel with a genuine strength disparity officially began.Lord Louis’s longsword was unsheathed, red Aura swirling around the blade like firelight, hissing softly.Frio also drew his sword, similarly with crimson Aura.They were both Knights of the Calvin Family; although their Aura cultivation methods differed slightly, they were of the same lineage, making their Auras remarkably similar.Blades clashed, sparks flying.Lord Louis did not rush to use his Bloodline Talent, wanting to see his current strength.Initially, relying purely on his agile reactions and newly breakthrough fighting spirit, he was actually able to exchange blows evenly with Frio.But as time passed, the gap slowly widened.Frio, after all, was a battle-hardened intermediate Elite Knight; his Aura was more profound, and his control of the battle rhythm was more precise.After a few moves, pressure surged towards Lord Louis like a tide, and he gradually began to struggle.Although he could still barely parry, the swaying of his body and disordered breathing after each block already betrayed him.“Ah, the gap is still too big.”“Frio, that’s enough…”The surrounding Knights broke out in cold sweat, instinctively holding their breath, afraid that their breathing would disturb Lord Louis.Some were already discreetly exchanging glances: “How about Frio just pretend to lose narrowly? Just a little acting!”But just then, Lord Louis’s eyes suddenly changed.Bloodline Talent · Trajectory, activated!At this moment, in Lord Louis’s vision, time seemed to pause for an instant.He saw that in the next second, Frio’s shoulder would slightly sink, causing his longsword to chop diagonally downwards.“I see it!”Lord Louis moved like the wind, his sword light carrying Aura breaking through the air, cutting directly into that momentary gap!“Bang!”This was the sound of metal colliding.The longsword in Frio’s hand was directly knocked away, and he himself took two steps back before steadying himself.“Huh?”The entire camp was silent for three seconds.Everyone’s eyes widened, their faces filled with “What just happened?”One second he was suppressing him, the next second, how did he fall!?“What was that just now?”“I didn’t see any opening at all…”“Too fast… it’s almost like he knew what the other person was going to do beforehand!”Even Frio himself looked bewildered.He looked down at the empty hilt in his hand, then looked at Lord Louis, who stood steadily not far away.After a moment, he recovered, letting out a wry smile: “I’m convinced, Lord is truly… deeply hidden.”Lord Louis stood in place, slowly exhaling, looking down at his sword-holding hand; his tiger’s mouth was a little numb, and his chest heaved continuously.He was not carried away by this victory.Although the burst of power just now felt exhilarating, and it was fast, accurate, and ruthless.But the cost was also significant; activating Trajectory required extremely high concentration and continuously consumed Aura.Indeed, Bloodline Talents are not something to be used carelessly.Lambert walked out of the crowd, his brows slightly furrowed.He was Lord Louis’s Guardian Knight, and had been teaching him combat skills since Lord Louis was a child.It could be said that Lord Louis was raised by his own hand, but this sparring match left him somewhat confused.Lord Louis’s attack style was a routine he knew all too well, but that momentary surprise counterattack just now…It completely exceeded his expectations; that was not something that could be achieved by skill alone.He walked in front of Lord Louis and asked in a low voice, “Lord, how did you do that just now?”Lord Louis did not beat around the bush, lowering his voice to reply, “I’ve awakened my Bloodline Talent.”“Ah?” Lambert was stunned.
