Lord of the Truth

Chapter 584 Another Martial Emperor

*Tak*

The black spear tip hit the ground after Robin's grip on it weakened. The sound of it touching the ground was as simple as a pen falling from a table, but because of the silence in the place, Alexander felt it was a bomb and he closed his eyes when he heard it.

"I'll pretend you didn't mean it and wait for the explanation... What... was that?" Robin finally spoke with half-closed eyes

"...Sorry about the sound..." Alexander scratched his knee, the situation was very awkward

"Alexander, my dear governor... What THE HELL was that..." Robin repeated, his eyes turning golden this time

"Heh~ I'm sorry that I made myself appear so weak, I know your excellency is expecting much more from me but there's nothing I could do about it. This is what happens when I try to use the fourth stage of the Major Heavenly Law of Wind." Alexander sighed, then returned his hand and repeated the same *attack* again

Once again, a deadly aura gathered around Alexander. It seemed as if he was preparing to shoot a compressed air cannonball strong enough to destroy the entire hill! But suddenly that powerful aura disappeared again, as if it had never existed, and what came out of his hand was a handful of air, barely enough to extinguish a candle.

Robin slowly took two steps and took Alexander's hand, "Do it again." This time he detected something and wanted to confirm it.

*Boof*

"...The patterns of the fourth stage of the Major Heavenly Law of Wind emanate from your body and gather around you for a moment in preparation for the attack, which is what gives you this heavy aura, but they soon disappear again..." Robin muttered, then let go of Alexander's hand and sat back down unconsciously. After a few minutes, he looked at Alexander again, "You obviously know that this will happen. What exactly do you know about this phenomenon?"

"To tell the truth, I was able to form Foundation No. 41 and break through to the Martial Emperor's Realm around a week ago. When I felt the huge amount of energy in the energy gathering center, I quickly went out to try my new power, but when I thought about trying the simplest fourth-level attack, this happened. That's why I told Your Excellency that I still don't know what it feels like to be a Martial Emperor yet..." Alexander shrugged his shoulders, "Honestly, I was terrified by the idea that I had done something wrong and I did not want to inform Your Excellency of this failure directly, so I contacted Your Excellency's disciple Jabba to tell him what had happened with me, but when I learned from him that he was facing the same problem, I thought that perhaps the 41st foundation itself had issues, and this is what causes this phenomenon, so I immediately decided to contact Your Excellency to find a solution."

"Jabba is facing the same problem? He also broke through to Martial Emperor's Realm?!" Robin finally opened his eyes

"Yes, according to what I understood from him, he broke through about a month or two before me, but he failed to use the fourth stage of the Major Heavenly Law of Gravity, so he kept it quiet because he saw it as a disgrace and decided to look into the issue himself. I felt that he was immensely relieved when I told him that the same problem happened to me..."

"That stubborn bastard, how could he not contact me about a problem like this?!" Robin hit the seat of his chair

Then he inserted his soul sense into his voice ring, ("What are you currently doing? Do you have anything important on your hand?")

("Master? No, no, I'm looking into a few simple things, but I can leave them aside for a moment. How can I help you?")

("Oh, are you looking into how to use the fourth stage of the Major Heavenly Law of Gravity? Come to me, I'm at Alexander's house.")

("...Did Alexander tell you? You don't need to worry yourself about this, Master, you may continue coming up with techniques for the Laws and I will definitely find a solution for this problem!")

("NOW, Jabba.")

("...Yes")

After Robin finished speaking, he withdrew his soul sense from the voice ring as he leaned his head on the back of his seat and closed his eyes. It was clear that he was immersed in thought.

Alexander did not know that Robin had sent Jabba to come, but seeing Robin like this, Alexander also remained sitting silently next to him without saying a word.

After a few minutes--

"Master..." Jabba entered and bowed towards Robin, then straightened his back and gestured with his eyebrows beside him, "Brother Alexander."

"Brother Jabba." Alexander nodded to Jabba as well

"Let's get straight to the point, Alexander here doesn't seem to have much to say about the failure in using the Fourth Stage. You broke through months before him and you have the eye of truth so you must have noticed a thing or two... What exactly is going on? Is there a problem with Foundation No.41? Is it a problem with the Law technique books I handed you?" Robin opened his eyes motioned for Jabba to sit down and immediately began to ask, a certain feeling of guilt could be detected in his questions.

Jabba shook his head, "No, the technique books you handed over to us contain pure information on the fourth Stages of the laws, and on the back cover you wrote a recommendation that we build Foundation No. 41 differently from what we are accustomed to and described in details how should we do that... But perhaps Alexander told you, we did not We don't have a chance to use those recommendations because Foundation No. 41 took such a gigantic form against our will. I guessed that the interaction of the fourth stage of laws with the energy-gathering center might be causing this automatically? I don't know yet... The important thing is that without that recommendation that we didn't even use, the books you handed over to us only contain your understanding of the fourth stage of the laws, which is impossible to have any issue."

"My understanding about the fourth stage of the laws..." Robin rubbed his forehead, is there something wrong with them?

"There is no need to think too much, Master. We know that you will not mess with us and hand us defective techniques, I now can see a fraction of what you usually see and I know that it is impossible for your eyes to deceive you and give you false information, this is why I thought that the problem might be only with me because of the transformation of my body, this theory crumpled when I found that Brother Alexander had the same problem... We both did everything normally and if there was a defect, it was something we completely did not know about previously." Jabba smiled, "So I've been busy lately conducting some experiments..."

"And the result was...?" Robin stopped rubbing his forehead for a moment

"Nothing." Jabba shook his head again, "You may have heard or even seen what happens when we use the fourth level. The good thing is that currently Alexander and I can use stages one through three without problems, and because of the huge amount of energy stored in foundation number 41, we now can fight for days using the third stage of the Laws without any fatigue, and the speed at which we absorb natural energy has also increased several times. In short, neither of us has grown stronger nor has we weakened either. The only thing that has been affected is the period in which we can fight with our full strength. It has increased from one hour to 3 days and nights."

*BAAM*

Robin hit his thigh hard angrily, "How marvelous, How wonderful!! You retained your old strength, but now you can fight for a longer period of time? What is the good news about this?! Is the Emperor's Domain just an extra energy reserve? I refuse to believe this!! You must feel the extent of the power of the fourth stage of the laws, how can we be satisfied with this result? ...Have you known the cause of the problem yet or not?"

"I know why we can't use the fourth stage, I just don't know the reason behind why!"

"Huh?!" Robin did not seem to understand anything and looked at Alexander, who in turn shrugged

"Let me explain... When a person at the top of the Sage Realm, for example, thinks about carrying out a powerful attack, what must be available? 1: The necessary knowledge of the law + 2: The energy needed to carry it out + the transfer of energy from the energy gathering center to the limp with which he intends to attack, correct? The problem that Alexander and I faced was that we had the necessary knowledge of the fourth stage and we had the necessary energy in the 41st foundation, but we could not transfer a huge amount of energy out of the energy gathering center at the right time!"
