The Duke didn't plan to go far down the road of the Knight, at least not now.

His focus was still on the path of the Wizard, and it was impossible for him to set aside his Wizard training for Knight training.

Overall, Knights are still much weaker than Wizards, which can be seen from the Level 6 powerhouses.

Currently, on the Wizard Plane, all the Level 6 powerhouses are Wizards, while the strongest Knight is a Level 5 powerhouse, not yet a Level 6 Life.

The Duke then went to a corner of the temple, pretending to close his eyes in meditation, as others knew he was a Wizard, so meditating with closed eyes was quite normal.

He was reviewing the information about the Light Divine Breathing Technique in his mind, carefully understanding this breathing technique.

The Light Divine Breathing Technique is a complete breathing technique, including both the basic breathing technique and the Life Seed Elementalization content.

After thoroughly reading the content of this breathing technique, the Duke finally understood the differences between the Light Attribute and other attributes.

Whether it's the Knight's breathing technique training or the Wizard's Meditation Technique practice, essentially, both involve absorbing external Free Energy Particles into the body.

But the Light Attribute is entirely different; the Light Attribute can generate Light Attribute Free Energy Particles through practice.

In the course of practice, it's certainly possible to absorb external Light Attribute Energy Particles, but the Duke, as a practitioner, could generate Light Attribute Energy Particles himself.

This point astounded him greatly, even though the Light Attribute Energy Particles generated each time were few, the process from zero to one was still marvelous.

At this point, the Duke somewhat understood why the Plane's will would manifest the image of the God of Light; the spread of the God of Light's faith was indeed beneficial to the Plane.

Because the process of generating Light Attribute Energy Particles during practice essentially increases the concentration of Energy Particles in the Plane.

Previously, Wizards, Knights, and other supernatural practitioners were consumers, consuming the Plane's Energy Particles.

This scarcity of Wizards on the Florence Continent and the prevalence of Knights were due to the low concentration of Energy Particles there, lacking the resources needed for Wizard practice.

Wizards lived in areas with high concentrations of Free Energy Particles; the Meditation Rooms on Black Sail Academy Island charged fees because they used Witch Arrays to enhance the concentration of Energy Particles.

The entire process was consuming Energy Particles, but practitioners of the Light Attribute could produce Energy Particles.

If there are enough people practicing the Light Attribute Breathing Technique, the concentration of Energy Particles produced increases.

However, it seems the Light Divine Breathing Technique has some requirements for people, probably requiring special qualifications to earn the favor of the Goddess of Light, or else only a few could successfully comprehend it.

The Light Divine Breathing Technique does not include Secret Potion content, as other breathing techniques include such content artificially, but this technique was directly taught by the Goddess of Light, naturally excluding Secret Potion related content.

The Duke felt no need for Secret Potions, as the training speed of this breathing technique was fast enough, just practicing in the presence of light sufficed.

He wasn't in a rush to start practicing, being inside the Light Temple with Knights from the Knight Hall nearby.

Once he starts practicing, others would definitely notice, and the fact that he had obtained the breathing technique would be known.

In the coming days, the Duke fulfilled his duties in the temple, staying as per his agreement with Jack even after obtaining the breathing technique.

There's no hurry, no need to offend others over a few days, especially since Jack had indeed helped him.

In these days, the Duke saw a variety of people come to worship the Goddess of Light, hearing many murmurs.

Some hoped the Goddess of Light would grant them a breakthrough, making them more powerful Knights.

Others hoped for the Goddess of Light to bless them with wealth, for their slave trade to go smoothly and earn them a fortune.

Some had even more absurd wishes, hoping the Goddess of Light would allow all his thirty wives to bear sons, making the family more prosperous.

...

Having thirty wives was not uncommon in this era, as Wizards and Knights had long lifespans, marrying dozens or even hundreds of wives was quite normal.

The Duke couldn't help but think, wouldn't the Goddess of Light find all these prayers bothersome, filled with human desires?

He had heard that Gods could hear the prayers of believers, and if there were enough believers, the God might hear millions of prayers daily.

Just thinking about this was dizzying enough; wasn't it infuriating, showing that being a God wasn't easy?

The last day of the Blessing Festival was also the Duke's last day in the temple, as it was approaching its end.

It was almost sunset, and once the temple closes at sunset, this task would be completed.

The Duke noticed that as days passed, those coming to worship in the temple were of noticeably lower social status and strength.

It seems those with means had already secured spots earlier; the ones who came later likely spent heavily, sparing no expense to acquire worship spots from various channels.

At this moment, a gaunt and slender man walked to the Divine Statue of Light.

The Duke immediately paid attention to this person, as he had seen many come to worship these few days, and this person was distinctly different from others.

Usually, people who came here, regardless of their sincerity, outwardly displayed deep devotion while kneeling to worship.

But this person, upon arrival, stared directly at the Statue of the Goddess of Light, seemingly lost in thought.

Moments later, the slender man roared, "Light shall perish, true God shall prevail!"

As he shouted, countless fiery red cracks appeared all over his body, and his whole being seemed to transform into a demon from the lava, exuding an extremely intense energy wave.

Knowing the situation wasn't good, the Duke immediately conjured a swirl of yellow sand.

As the yellow sand appeared, an unimaginable energy wave erupted from the slender man's body, spreading around, and the violent energy wave engulfed everything nearby.

Masses of yellow sand spread out, wrapping around the Statue of the Goddess of Light, protecting the Knights and the Duke.

This sandy fortress was very thick and large enough to block the spreading energy wave.

The Duke, behind the yellow sand, evaluated the strength of this explosion — the energy intensity should be at about one hundred degrees.

The surface of the fortress formed by the yellow sand was blasted with many deep holes; if the energy intensity were higher, it could have pierced through the sand-formed fortress.
