Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 103 All Breakthroughs! The Beginning of the Liquidation! (1st update, 3400 words, please subscribe!)

Although Blackwater Valley was poor, it was a territory directly granted to Li Wei's ancestors by the Emerald King two hundred years ago.

Therefore, it is not under the jurisdiction of the Duke of Montenegro or his vassals.

Li Wei naturally had no need to send troops to support the Duke of Black Mountain, nor could he possibly support his own enemy.

However, he finally understood why the Duke of Black Mountain hadn't reacted much to the disappearance of the Demon Shark for so long.

The Duke of Montenegro, a great man, is busy ruling and dominating; he has no time to care about someone as insignificant as himself.

Li Wei was actually a little disappointed, the kind of disappointment that comes from not being taken seriously by his enemy.

Of course, he was mostly relieved, because the chaos actually gave him more breathing room.

"Fight, fight, let them all fight, just don't disturb my cultivation," Li Wei thought to himself.

With its current military strength, Blackwater Valley can basically defend itself unless a large army invades.

In the cavalry training ground deep in the basin of the Black Mountain Range, there is a hundred elite Crimson Blood Cavalrymen. These are the trump cards and elites of Blackwater Valley, and the core combat force of Blackwater Valley.

On the surface of Black Serpent Fortress, there are also a hundred-strong demobilized army and two hundred militiamen, mainly to cooperate with the Crimson Blood Cavalry and to confuse potential enemies.

Because of these wars, a large number of refugees flowed into the serf market.

Li Wei took the opportunity to significantly expand his territory's population, reclaim wasteland, increase agricultural production, and strengthen the forging industry.

Even if an enemy were to invade now, we would be able to protect ourselves.

Therefore, Li Wei was not too worried about the territory.

At worst, I can just run away and be done with it.

With his strength approaching that of a Grand Knight, he can go wherever he wants.

Now, Li Wei has simply grown accustomed to the comfort of this territory and is too lazy to move.

Meanwhile, the trade between Terra Master's Vest and Earl Silver Mountain continues as normal.

Earl Silver Mountain did not participate in the Black Mountain army's expedition. He thought that Duke Black Mountain, like him, was worried about the impending snow demon disaster every day. It wasn't until Duke Black Mountain suddenly pulled this stunt that he realized that he and the other great nobles of the north were just fools being used by Duke Black Mountain.

The Duke of Black Mountain doesn't care about snow demons or anything like that. His goal is to emulate the Tuva Empire next door, to build an unparalleled Black Mountain Empire with his iron cavalry and iron fists, and to replace the Emerald Kingdom!

The Bloody Earl of Green Forest Province and the Silver Veil Earl of Blue Sea Province were both pawns in the Duke of Black Mountain's move to take control of the south!

In addition, many nobles across the country were turned by Montenegro and joined the rebel camp.

The Duke of Montenegro had been planning this day for a long time.

In the end, Earl Silver Mountain could only place his hopes on himself.

In this era, one cannot rely on others. He repeatedly invited Master Terra to join his ranks, but Master Terra politely declined each time.

In terms of diplomacy in Blackwater Valley, the newly arrived "shameless pastor" Charafo was much easier to get along with than Abraham.

At least since Li Wei donated some money to him, that fat man hasn't caused Li Wei any trouble.

Inside the shelter, Li Wei's little treasure trove of gold coins grew larger and larger. Every day, he slept and woke up on the ground covered with gold coins, just like a dragon, living a truly decadent life.

He continued his selfless practice, pushing himself to the limit.

In order to deal with potentially powerful enemies in the future, Li Wei has concocted a lot of "Human-faced Spider" series of poisons. Unfortunately, medicine making is different from forging. These repeated medicines can no longer increase Li Wei's proficiency in medicine making at the third level.

To reach the fourth tier, Li Wei would need to refine new medicines, but that requires a formula, so he had to give up on that idea.

After this period of training, Li Wei upgraded the Blood Whale Breathing Technique to level six, giving rise to its special effect: Advanced Endurance.

After reaching the sixth level of the Blood Whale, Li Wei clearly felt that his combat endurance and stamina had increased significantly, and the duration of his bursts of power had also been extended considerably.

This is the effect of advanced endurance; it makes Li Wei like a tireless fighting machine, not easily fatigued, which is equivalent to increasing Li Wei's "durability".

The human-faced spider breathing technique has reached the sixth level limit, and the intermediate vibration perception has advanced to advanced vibration perception, with a perception range of a radius of thirty meters.

Within this scope, while Livy may not be omniscient, it is roughly within Livy's "absolute domain".

Within thirty meters, Li Wei could detect any movement or attack from the enemy.

Li Wei's Siren Breathing Technique also successfully broke through to the seventh level, giving birth to top-tier speed.

He conducted an experiment and found that at top speed, when he unleashed his full power, he could run the 100-meter dash in just two seconds.

This has an effect almost like flying.

Of course, this full-power burst of energy can't last long, but it's still terrifying, surpassing even the fastest mammal from my previous life, the cheetah!

Even the seventh-tier and higher-tier Siren species were still suppressed by the seventh-tier Black Serpent species, and the situation that Li Wei was worried about did not occur.

He underestimated the power of the Black Serpent race.

Therefore, he felt at ease to raise the giant rhinoceros to the seventh rank, giving birth to top-tier power.

The boost from top-tier power is enormous; his current strength surpasses that of any of his three brothers who are nearing adulthood.

Unless the three brothers join forces, none of them can beat Li Wei in a tug-of-war.

This is no longer "wrestling with a bear," it's "wrestling with an elephant"!

With the support of various breathing techniques, Li Wei's current proficiency stats are exactly the standard stats for a polygonal warrior:

Li Wei —————

Flame Stream Seal: Tier 2 (2333/5000)

Guardian Seal: Tier 2 (2/5000)

Mark of Hell: Tier 1 (600/1000)

Black Serpent Breathing Technique: Level 7 (15555/50000), Special Effect: Top-tier Defense

Blood Whale Breathing Technique: Level 6 (120/40000), Special Effect: High Endurance

Giant Rhinoceros Breathing Technique: Rank 7 (Limit, can be broken, current progress: 2/5), Special Effect: Top-tier Power.

Siren Breathing Technique: Level 7 (Limit, can be broken, current progress: 1/5), Special Effects: Top-tier speed, bone shrinking and shape changing.

Human-faced Spider Breathing Technique: Level 6 (Limit), Special Effects: Advanced Vibration Perception, Spider Sensing.

Vortex Beast Breathing Technique: Second Tier (368/5000)

Giant Breathing Technique: Level 1 (256/1000)

……

Apart from the Vortex Beast and the Giant Breathing Technique brothers, who are still struggling due to the lack of the secret medicine, Li Wei has cultivated all the other breathing techniques to an extremely high level.

"I already possess top-tier defense, top-tier strength, and top-tier speed. Now all I lack is top-tier endurance, top-tier physique, and top-tier vibration perception."

"Of course, there may be other types of breathing techniques, but I haven't encountered them yet."

The current Li Wei can suppress a puppet like Demon Shark, who is half a Great Knight, within five rounds.

Among the other rudimentary breathing techniques he obtained from Earl Silver Mountain last year, all the power-type and speed-type breathing techniques were cultivated to their limits by Li Wei. He then integrated them into the Siren Breathing Technique and the Giant Rhinoceros Breathing Technique, forcibly pushing these two rudimentary breathing techniques, which were originally at the fifth level and could be pushed to their limits, to the unprecedented and unparalleled seventh level.

The current Siren Breathing Technique and Giant Rhinoceros Breathing Technique are no longer rudimentary breathing techniques, but truly excellent ones. However, they cannot compare with top-tier excellent breathing techniques like the Black Serpent and Giant Breathing Techniques; they are roughly equivalent to third-rate breathing techniques like the Vortex Beast Breathing Technique.

To break through the limit after the seventh level, Li Wei would need to practice five breathing techniques of the same type that are at the fourth level limit. He simply doesn't have that many breathing techniques right now, so he has no choice but to give up.

However, progress on the Seal of Flame Flow, the Seal of Guardian, and the Seal of Hell remains slow.

Ultimately, it comes down to a lack of spellcasting materials.

This is an objective reason that Li Wei cannot resolve for the time being.

When Levi came out of the shelter, Harris saw him and landed on his shoulder. After this period of adjustment, Harris and Levi's teamwork became more and more perfect.

Today, Li Wei, with a bear on his left and a falcon on his right, exudes an extraordinary aura.

He left Black Serpent Keep, leaving Demon Shark to guard the sanctuary, and then quickly rushed to Icewind City.

Li Wei went to the Shining Tavern and successfully acquired a Necromancer Core.

One Undead Core can provide Li Wei with 100 points of Hell Seal proficiency. He already has 600 Hell Seal proficiency. If he acquires three more in the future, Li Wei's Hell Seal can advance to the second tier.

At that time, Li Wei will be able to control two puppets of the Great Knight level at the same time.

Of course, this is on the premise that he encounters a suitable Great Knight enemy like Demon Shark.

Aside from the Undead Core, there were no other gains.

There was no breathing technique, no evil spirit dust, no planarian eggs, and no ice ape blood.

Li Wei has gotten used to it over time.

Spiritual practice is by no means an easy thing.

After leaving the tavern and going to a secluded spot, Li Wei's physique began to change. He put on a golden mask, took his goods for the month, and arrived at the Silver Mountain Earl's mansion.

Receive money, deliver goods, and inspect goods.

"Master Terra, don't rush off, the Earl has something to discuss with you," the retainer said with a smile.

Li Wei stopped.

"Alright, I'll go see the Earl."

After such a long period of trading, Li Wei still had a good impression of Earl Silver Mountain.

Although he had some of the traditional flaws of nobles, he was generally a trustworthy person and was considered relatively mild-mannered and easy to get along with among the great nobles of the North who were like barbarians.

This is also why Li Wei was able to cooperate with the Earl of Silver Mountain for so long.

Upon entering the reception room, Earl Silver Mountain was handling some important government affairs.

He saw Li Wei arrive and quickly stopped, then said, "I apologize, Master, I'll need to take up some of your time. There have been many matters concerning the territory lately, and it's been a long time since we've sat down to chat."

"If you need anything, please just say so. I will definitely help you within my capabilities," Li Wei said.

"Actually, it's nothing much. I just wanted to tell you that if you don't have anything else to do, please don't come to Icewind City for the time being. I've received intelligence that a large army from the Wilderness Brotherhood may attack Icewind City in a while, and the city might be in turmoil for some time. If you insist on staying in the city, I can have my Silver Fang Guards provide you with protection, or you could simply move to my Silvermountain Keep!" Duke Silvermountain said.

Duke Silver Mountain wasn't particularly afraid of the Wilderness Brotherhood's chaotic army.

After all, they were just a motley crew, mostly composed of low-class civilians and serfs who had been brainwashed by this group. Their weapons and equipment were no match for their regular army.

Upon hearing this, Li Wei's heart stirred, and he said, "Thank you for your kindness, Earl. I won't trouble you any further. I won't be coming to Icewind City for a while. I'll resume delivering goods to you after the war is over."

Earl Silver Mountain chuckled, "Alright, Master, please be careful."

He watched the master's departing figure and couldn't help but sigh, "The Snow Demon hasn't even been dealt with yet; it's already become a complete mess."

On the other side, after leaving Silver Mountain City, Li Wei wandered around and found that some defensive fortifications had been built, which meant that a major battle was really about to take place.

However, he did not intend to leave Icewind City. He wanted to take this opportunity to find out information about the Boar Riders from the Wilderness Brotherhood.

"I hope the boar rider doesn't die, otherwise who am I going to get revenge on?"

Because of a recommendation today, the update time of 8 AM tomorrow has been changed to now. My wife caught a cold yesterday, and when I took her temperature today, it was 39.4 degrees Celsius, which scared me. I went to work yesterday, and I don't know if I caught it and infected my wife. I'm working from home today, and I immediately went to buy medicine after get off work. While writing, I found that I also had a low-grade fever. I'm not sure if I caught it, but it's nothing serious. I still wrote 13,000 words today. Damn, have you ever seen an author work this hard? It's not too much to ask for subscriptions, monthly tickets, and recommendation votes, right?

During this last period, everyone should take precautions and exercise more at home. You only realize how important health is after you've been sick. _(:з」∠)_
