Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 114 Eighth Rank! (1st update! 4000 words, please subscribe!)

Li Wei was naturally skeptical of what the spirit Tutan had said.

My understanding of the wizarding world is very limited, so I have no way of verifying whether what the other party said is true or false.

However, Li Wei had some understanding of this snuff bottle, which was known as the "equivalent bottle".

The spirit inside this snuff bottle cannot come out on its own when the lid is closed; it can only be summoned by a spell or opened manually.

Li Wei's reason for not choosing to use a spell to summon was naturally because he was worried about being deceived by Tutankhamun. What if the other party used some spells that could kill Li Wei to fool him, and he foolishly recited them? Wouldn't that be the end for him?

Moreover, manually summoning it doesn't take much effort.

In conclusion, just as Li Wei had thought, this snuff bottle was indeed a wizard's tool.

So far, Li Wei has never seen a talking evil spirit.

Whether it was the weak chained prisoner or the powerful water nymph, Livy remained silent throughout his battles with them.

Therefore, Li Wei's initial analysis suggests that evil spirits should not be able to speak.

From this perspective, he felt that Natutan was probably not an evil spirit.

However, I can't be 100% sure.

Li Wei's understanding of evil spirits is still too limited.

But it's clear that Tutankhamun knew quite a lot.

"Let's wait a bit longer. It's always better to be cautious when dealing with anything related to wizards."

"The price for exchanging meditation techniques is the souls of three great knights. That's quite a high price."

The Emerald Kingdom has only so many Grand Knights.

I've already taken care of two of them myself.

Unfortunately, Li Wei obtained this equivalent vessel too late.

Otherwise, the Demon Shark and the Demon Mountain would be two separate entities.

Li Wei wasn't in a particular hurry.

The path to becoming a wizard is not something that can be completed in a day or two. I am only twenty-one years old now, and I have plenty of time.

Golden Cross Slash: Tier 6 (6763/30000), Special Effects: Advanced Vibration, Advanced Ripple

……

Of all of Li Wei's skills now.

Leaving aside those that have already reached their limits.

The only things that can improve one's strength are breathing techniques, hand seals, and the Golden Cross Slash.

Since the sixth rank, the difficulty of cultivating the Golden Cross Slash has increased exponentially.

Li Xiuwei has been working on this for a year and a half, and he has only completed one-fifth of the progress.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that he spends most of his time practicing liver breathing techniques.

In short, advanced ripples are unstoppable.

Li Wei wasn't in a particular hurry to pursue that supreme power of rotation, so this skill was difficult to improve for the time being.

Regarding the Dharma Seals, the practice of the Four Great Dharma Seals requires a large amount of materials for casting spells. The progress of their practice does not depend on Li Wei's efforts, but on the amount of objective materials available, so Li Wei is helpless about it.

Ultimately, we can only place our hopes on breathing techniques.

In the breathing technique, the giant and the vortex beast, these two unfortunate brothers, are not worth the effort without the secret medicine, and Li Wei has no interest in training them, which is indeed a bit slow.

Li Wei's Black Serpent Breathing Technique has only reached the eighth level in a few months, and it requires nearly 100,000 proficiency points to reach the ninth level. He estimates that he will be lucky to break through to the ninth level before the end of next year.

Moreover, according to Li Wei's speculation, for a breathing technique of such high quality as the Black Serpent Breathing Technique, the ninth level should be the limit.

To achieve further breakthroughs, perhaps a perfect breathing technique is needed.

The Siren's Breathing Technique is 2 points away from breaking through its limit, while the Giant Rhinoceros Breathing Technique just broke through its limit not long ago and is still quite far from the eighth tier.

Ultimately, Li Wei focused his attention on the Blood Whale Breathing Technique.

"In that case, let's focus all our efforts on the Blood Whale and put everything else on hold for now."

"Aim to master the Blood Whale Breathing Technique to its limit within three months!"

Li Wei returned to the shelter and prepared plenty of dry food, water, and dried meat there.

He assigned the Mountain to guard the Black Serpent Castle, and the Shark to guard the Sanctuary.

Aside from his deal with the Earl of Silver Mountain, Levi will dedicate the rest of his time to the Blood Whale Breathing Technique.

He wanted to test how much strength he would achieve if he could train both breathing techniques to the eighth level.

……

The year 1011 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of Green Grass.

Inside Blackwater Valley, serfs were busy with spring plowing, blacksmiths were busy forging, and soldiers were busy training.

Everything was running smoothly and in an orderly manner.

The outside world, however, remains in chaos.

More and more territories in the south were drawn into the war, and the conflict continued unabated.

With the support of the Duke of Black Mountain, and especially with their possession of the fertile Tulip Territory and the mineral-rich Storm Territory, the two great nobles, the Blood Earl and the Silver Veil Earl, were plundering the south on a large scale.

The combined military power of these two earls is already stronger than that of some dukes in the south.

However, the royal family is already mobilizing a large-scale coalition army. This time, the royal family and the southern nobles will send a large army deep into the northern border to directly capture Black Mountain City!

If the Duke of Montenegro is defeated in this future battle, his crimes will inevitably lead to the complete disappearance of the entire Montenegrin family from history.

Of course, if successful, the Black Mountain family will enjoy unprecedented glory.

This is a high-stakes gamble. The confident and powerful Duke of Montenegro has no idea where he gets the confidence to confront the South and the royal family.

Now, in the entire north, only the Earl of Silver Mountain has not joined the Duke of Black Mountain's northern coalition, because like Blackwater Valley, Icewind Territory is a direct fiefdom of the royal family and is not part of the Duke of Black Mountain's fiefdom.

While Livy was still in seclusion, under pressure from the royal family, the Earl of Silver Mountain had no choice but to personally lead an army to join the campaign against the Duke of Black Mountain.

It's likely that a major war will break out in the North soon.

Li Wei frowned slightly after learning of this situation.

"The war is already reaching the north."

"Even Earl Silver Mountain has been drawn into the war."

"Next, no one will care about the Snow Demon anymore."

"It doesn't matter, why should I worry about these things?"

"Just protect your own life."

"Fight, fight! Once the Snow Demon arrives and the Northern Territory is destroyed, I'll fly far away."

As for Blackwater Valley, we should protect it if we can, since it can still earn us some gold coins every year.

Of course, for Li Wei now, the little money he earns from Blackwater Valley is better than nothing.

In fact, most of the money earned in Blackwater Valley was used by Li Wei to expand production and the army.

Currently, the number of Crimson Blood Cavalry has reached nearly 150.

The number of part-time militia members has reached 500.

The population of the entire territory has also increased several times over.

Although most of these people were purchased slaves.

On the other hand, Li Wei also emphasized the pursuit of high-quality soldiers.

Cavalry Captain Sam has also advanced to the rank of quasi-knight and has the potential to become a full knight in the future.

In addition, Li Wei also practiced the Giant Rhinoceros Breathing Technique on a small scale within his territory.

In addition, with the Siren Breathing Technique, there are two non-bloodline breathing techniques available for talented soldiers in Blackwater Valley to choose from. Even among the great nobles, such opportunities are rare.

Over the years, the territory has accumulated more than a dozen people who have gradually mastered the breathing technique. These will be the elite soldiers of the future, provided that Blackwater Valley can survive the great calamity to come.

Li Wei wasn't too worried about the war in the north; worrying was pointless.

This trend is unstoppable.

Regardless of the final outcome, it makes no difference to Li Wei; it's neither a good thing nor a bad thing.

His greatest hope was that the two sides would fight forever, the war would continue for several years, and no one would care about him, a nobody, so that he could successfully advance to the rank of legendary knight or become a wizard.

Once I become a wizard, let them fight however they want; it's none of my business anyway.

If there has to be a winner in this war, it would be better if the South and the royal family won.

After all, the conflict between him and the Duke of Montenegro was almost irreconcilable.

There is still room for maneuver regarding the royal family.

In the days that followed, Li Wei continued his spiritual practice.

He would also take advantage of the time he spent delivering goods to Silvermountain Keep at the end of the month to inquire about the war between the North and South at the Shining Tavern in Icewind City.

Judging from the current situation, the scale of this allied forces in the Northern Expedition is unprecedented in the kingdom's history, almost comparable to the Holy War of a Thousand Years.

In any case, judging from the current situation, Li Wei sees no hope of the Duke of Montenegro winning.

He might be able to control evil spirits, but the number of people an evil spirit can kill is limited; at most, it can only carry out a decapitation strike.

It is unlikely to play a decisive role in the overall situation.

"Black Mountain Old Dog, you absolutely cannot die in this Northern Expedition! When my breathing technique reaches its limit, that will be your death!"

Livy harbored a deep-seated hatred for the Duke of Montenegro.

He wanted to avenge the fallen Knight Fred!

That day is not far away.

Although the Duke of Black Mountain is a mysterious figure, his true strength is definitely inferior to that of the Imperial Fist.

Li Wei conservatively estimated that his current strength was roughly equal to that of the Duke of Black Mountain.

After all, he had many trump cards, comprehensive breathing techniques, and a multi-faceted warrior stat!

However, there were two things that made the Duke of Montenegro wary.

First, there's Montenegro, known as the "Devil Duke," who is rumored to have the ability to control evil spirits, but this is highly uncertain.

Secondly, the Duke of Black Mountain possessed considerable power; he likely had several Grand Knights under his command, not to mention his massive army.

If it weren't for these concerns, he would want to tear the Duke of Black Mountain to pieces right now.

"Never mind, gaining experience is more important. The Blood Whale Breathing Technique has reached its limit. Next is the transformation. With the experience of the Black Serpent species' transformation, this transformation should go smoothly."

For the past two months, Li Wei has given up other breathing techniques and skills and devoted himself to mastering the Blood Whale Breathing Technique. His hard work has finally paid off.

At the end of the Flower Month, the Blood Whale Breathing Technique reached its seventh-level limit.

Li Wei————

Blood Whale Breathing Technique: Seventh Tier (Limit, Limits Can Be Broken), Special Effect: Top-Tier Endurance

……

Like the Black Serpent species,

The Blood Whale Seed needs to undergo a metamorphosis to reach the eighth rank.

"Let's begin. This should be a breeze."

At Li Wei's heart, the blood whale, whose size was almost the same as the black snake species, opened its blood-red maw and spewed out black gas.

These black wisps spread out, enveloping the blood whale layer by layer, until the blood whale itself transformed into a constantly trembling black cocoon, seemingly nurturing new life.

Li Wei officially began the transformation of the blood whale species.

Last time, it took the black snake several days to successfully molt.

This time, on the second day of the transformation, cracks appeared in the Blood Whale Cocoon, and a faint, desolate whale song echoed in Li Wei's mind, which brought a look of joy to his face.

"Blood Whale, it's reached level eight!"
