Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 4 Knight Commander Malici (Seeking Support)

At this time, Robin already understood that this was the nobles' exquisite control and cruel monopoly over the knight's breathing method.

Through this method, which seemed to be teaching but was actually strict control, they kept the secret of the breathing method tightly in their hands. Even though the knights' squires of commoner origin could access and practice it, they could never truly touch the core and could not break the nobles' absolute control over this powerful force.

It was late at night and the entire camp was immersed in silence, with only a faint light coming from Robin's tent.

Robin sat quietly on the simple bed. He slowly opened the system panel, and the familiar light blue light illuminated his focused face.

What comes into view is the information of various skills:

First-level swordsmanship: Increases the power of sword attacks by 10%, experience: 5/2000
First-level combat skills: close combat attack power increased by 10%, experience: 5/2000
Basic Archery: Effect None, Experience: 5/200
Earth Dragon Breathing: Accelerates life recovery, Apprentice level experience: 3/1000
Robin frowned slightly, his eyes quickly scanning the information, his mind racing.

"It should be that my basic skills have been advanced after I became a knight's apprentice. This experience value of 3 should be due to my practicing the Earth Dragon Breathing Technique three times." He quickly made his own judgment, secretly pondering the connection between the system experience value and his own practice.

Thinking of this, Robin took a deep breath, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

He sat up straight again, adjusted his posture, and began to practice the breathing method guided by Knight Malizzi alone.

The tent was so quiet that the only sound that could be heard was his slow and even breathing.

With the rhythm of his breathing, Robin gradually got into the state.

He could feel a faint stream of warm air flowing slowly along the meridian route that Malichi had guided earlier.

Every time the breath circulates, it seems to activate all the cells in the body, and a tingling sensation spreads from deep within the body.

During the practice, Robin kept recalling the key points taught by Knight Malizzi in his mind, carefully guiding the airflow, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

When the first training was completed, Robin suddenly opened his eyes, with surprise and disbelief in his eyes.

Because with the help of the system, his breathing method ran smoother than expected, like a small boat sailing on a calm lake without any hindrance.

In fact, its speed is a few points faster than when guided by Knight Malizzi.

The air flowed freely in his body, as if it had become a part of him.

"It's the auxiliary effect of the system." Robin was ecstatic, just like a traveler who had been groping in the dark for a long time and suddenly saw the light ahead.

He realized that the system was not just a tool for recording experience, but also a powerful aid in his cultivation path.

This discovery was like a shot of adrenaline for Robin, filling his tired body with strength again.

With almost no hesitation, Robin adjusted his posture again and entered the state of training.

The next morning, Robin came to Knight Malizzi's tent again with excitement and anticipation.

The tent was filled with a faint scent of incense, and sunlight shone through the gaps onto the ground, forming patches of golden light.

Knight Malizzi had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Robin come in, he smiled and nodded.

Without any delay, Robin immediately sat down as before and prepared to start practicing.

As his practice deepened, Robin became more and more certain of what he was thinking.

With the help of the system, he clearly felt that the breathing method was running faster than yesterday, and the flow of power was smoother.

Compared to when Knight Malichi was guiding him, his training speed was now twice as fast. He knew that when he trained with Malichi every day, he could only gain three experience points at most, but when he trained alone last night, he actually gained six points.

According to this training efficiency, he will be able to break through the current bottleneck and become a true knight apprentice in about half a year.

Thinking of this, Robin felt secretly delighted and full of confidence in the future.

"Did you stay up late to practice last night?" Knight Malizzi asked with a smile, looking at Robin's slightly tired but excited expression.

Robin was slightly stunned, then nodded awkwardly.

He didn't expect that Knight Malizzi could see through his thoughts at a glance.

"Haha, that's perfectly normal," Knight Malizzi laughed heartily. "Most knight apprentices, when they first learn breathing techniques, stay up all night practicing because they're eager to improve their strength. However, practice requires a balance between work and rest.

The operation of the breathing method is extremely complex. If you make a mistake during the practice, your life may be in danger at any time, and it may even destroy your foundation and affect your future practice path."

Knight Malizzi put away his smile and spoke seriously, then patted Robin's shoulder gently, his eyes full of concern.

"You are in good physical condition now. There is nothing wrong with practicing moderately at night, but don't overdo it. Once you feel a burning sensation in your breathing during the practice, you must stop and rest immediately. This is a warning signal from the body and must not be ignored." Knight Malizzi warned earnestly.

"Thank you, Knight Commander, for the reminder." Robin felt a warm feeling in his heart and said respectfully.

Knight Malizzi's words are valuable advice from experience and show his genuine concern for him.

Robin couldn't help but think to himself that he had practiced until dawn last night and hadn't noticed anything unusual. He didn't feel the burning sensation of breathing as Knight Malizzi had described, nor did he feel tired or uncomfortable at all.

Is this another auxiliary function hidden by the system?
Could it protect him silently while he was practicing, allowing him to improve his strength without any worries?

This idea flashed through his mind, followed by more curiosity and expectations about the system.

The ordinary days passed quickly during the intense training, like a flash of light.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

During this month, Robin immersed himself in training day and night. With the help of the system and his own unremitting efforts, he finally achieved a major breakthrough - he officially became a knight apprentice.

At this time, the experience value of Earth Dragon Breathing has increased to 332/1000.

As his experience points continued to accumulate, his control over breathing techniques became more and more proficient, and now he can freely mobilize his life force to participate in battle.

This magical power is like a giant dragon sleeping in his body. Once awakened, it will burst out with astonishing power.

At this moment, Robin's strength is much greater than before, reaching three times the original strength.

Not only that, his already proficient fighting skills were even more enhanced with the blessing of this powerful force.

Now, facing ordinary militiamen, even if there are more than a dozen of them, they are no match for him.

When he stepped into the training ground again, the surrounding militiamen looked at him with a bit more awe and envy in their eyes.

Robin stood in the middle of the training ground, feeling everyone's gazes, his heart filled with pride and emotion.

Now it all depends on the data. It is very important to follow up on the new book at the beginning. In order to facilitate everyone to follow up, two chapters will be released at the same time. I hope everyone will take a look at it reluctantly, or click on it, and then read it.
