Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 120 Sweeping Through the Ancient Castle, The Bag of Gluttony! (1st Update! 5000 words, please subscribe!)

Inside Ice Valley City, Li Wei hid in a room, carefully examining a hammer.

He fiddled with the handle of the Lion King's Pride hammer.

Shrink in, stretch out.

"The handle of this hammer can even be adjusted in length."

Even though Li Wei had seen many good things, he still couldn't stop smiling when he looked at this heavy hammer.

"A legendary weapon! This is the weapon of a legendary knight! This is the closest I, Li Wei, have ever come to becoming a legend."

Lion King's Pride, one of the strongest knightly weapons in the world!

In martial arts novels, it would at least be a divine weapon like the Heaven Sword or the Dragon Saber.

Like its own "Frost Giant Armor," calling it a "peerless divine weapon" is no exaggeration.

Of course, this isn't a martial arts novel; here, weapons of this caliber are called "legendary weapons!"

To qualify for a legendary weapon, two conditions must be met.

First, it was crafted by a legendary artisan using rare and exceptional materials.

Secondly, it was used by a legendary knight.

Although the Frost Giant Armor is of comparable quality to the Lion King's Pride, the person who wore it was a Grand Knight whose fame was far less than that of a legendary knight. Furthermore, the Frost Giant Armor is armor, not a weapon.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the Frost Giant's Armor cannot be called a "legendary weapon".

In fact, in combat, armor plays a role that is no less important than weapons, and may even be more important.

But as time goes by and years pass, all that people remember is the weapon used by a certain legendary figure, while no one cares about the armor that silently protected that legendary figure.

Of course, in Li Wei's mind, the Frost Giant Armor was also a legendary weapon. If it weren't for it, he might have been in danger several times over.

Without the Frost Giant Armor, he wouldn't dare face so many Snow Demons.

On the handle of the Lion King's Pride Gold Hammer, there is a small mechanism that allows you to adjust the length of the handle.

The Lion King's Pride can be a long-handled hammer that strikes eighty points a time, or a short-handled hammer that strikes forty points a time.

Given Li Wei's current height, using a 1.5-meter-long handle hammer is actually a bit of a stretch, so he made a slight adjustment, making the hammer a little over a meter long.

On the hammerhead of the Lion King's Pride, the majestic and handsome silver lion roars silently, domineering and tyrannical!

Of course, what Li Wei cared about most was the mysterious runes on the hammerhead; it was clearly the work of a wizard.

Unfortunately, this hammer doesn't come with a helpful instruction manual like the Frost Giant's Armor.

"It should be some kind of shockwave-type spell, more powerful than the Frost Giant's Sigh. The Frost Giant's Sigh is a control-type spell, while this is a destructive-type spell."

Just thinking about the power of that hammer terrified Li Wei.

This snow demon had no strategy and used the spell haphazardly.

If he were to deliver that blow when Li Wei gets close, Li Wei would be severely injured, even if he didn't die, and wouldn't be able to escape.

"It seems that some kind of incantation is needed to activate it."

Li Wei carefully examined the Lion King's Pride, but ultimately found no incantation on it.

There were no clues about Duke Bluefeather's possessions either. Apart from the Lion King's Pride, everything else on Duke Bluefeather's body had turned to ashes.

"Damn it, is this spell just going to go to waste like this?" Li Wei thought to himself, speechless.

He was unwilling to accept it. Although the Lion King's Pride was already very powerful, one blow from its hammer would definitely break the plate-armored knight's bones.

But the most powerful thing is the magic on it.

"I need to go back and look for it; I think there might be some clues."

"Since Duke Blue Feather can use it, it means he has found the spell for the Lion King's Pride. The answer may be inside that castle."

"Now that Duke Blue Feather is dead, the danger inside the castle should be over. Just be careful, and nothing should happen."

"Oh right, I forgot about the Demon Shark." Li Wei went to the battlefield and looted the corpses for a while, but in the end he found nothing but a pile of broken metal.

He didn't dare delay and immediately went to find the Demon Shark.

On the other side, in a corner of the city.

The Demon Shark has been driven to the brink of despair by a group of Snow Demons.

Snow demons crawled all over the Demon Shark's body, and the Demon Shark had very little energy left.

If it weren't for Li Wei forging it a set of mithril armor, the Demon Shark might not exist now.

But as things stand, even with the mithril armor, the Demon Shark is nearing its end and will eventually be devoured by these snow demons.

Just then, the earth shook violently, and a figure wielding a large hammer suddenly leaped up from a rooftop in the distance. The house collapsed, and ice shards and dust flew everywhere!

"Take this!"

Li Wei roared!

A devastating ground-shattering strike!

boom!

Although there was no magical enhancement, Li Wei's terrifying strength, combined with the Lion King's Pride, made him a formidable opponent!

The shockwave continued to send the snow demons flying.

"Thank goodness, any later and Demon Shark would have died here. How could I explain that to his good brother Demon Mountain back home!"

Li Wei smashed a snow demon with his hammer, flattening it completely. This was a mithril hammer!

The snow demon immediately fell apart. Li Wei took out the undead core, then used one hand to pull the snow demon that was biting him from his back and slammed it to the ground!

"die!"

Another blow!

The snow demon split open, and the earth split open as well.

The Undead Core is fine, though.

This thing is made of very hard material, and it only becomes fragile when its energy is depleted.

"Dreamshark, use this."

Li Wei threw the Lion King's Pride to the powerful knight, Demon Shark.

I still use Frostmourne.

Without a word, Demon Shark took the Lion King's Pride. Although his height of over two meters was not as good as Duke Blue Feather's, he could still use it.

Moreover, the Demon Shark is a power-type weapon, making it much more suitable for use than Frostmourne.

Boom boom boom!

Li Wei and Demon Shark, back to back, fought their way through the snow demon horde.

He immediately sped away with the Demon Shark until he had completely shaken off the group of snow demons.

After a short rest, Li Wei quickly examined the Demon Shark's body.

"Multiple fractures, kidneys were eaten too? Only three fingers are left on his left hand... It's terrible." Li Wei looked distressed.

It was only then that he realized that even the Demon Shark could get "tired." Although the Demon Shark could fight endlessly thanks to the Undead Core, that was only in theory.

The Demon Shark is also made of flesh and blood. Although some minor "fatal wounds" will not bring the Demon Shark down, over time, its body will gradually wear down until its "durability" drops to zero.

Although both "living dead" and "snow demons" use the same energy, they lack the powerful self-healing ability of snow demons.

"If only there were a way to repair the Demon Shark," Li Wei thought to himself.

Suddenly, he looked at the Lion King's Pride in the Demon Shark's hand.

Even a great knight, without the blessing of dark energy, cannot compare to a body of steel with flesh and blood. I wonder if it would work if we replaced the damaged parts of the Demon Shark with "steel prosthetics" that we forged ourselves.

The core of the "living dead" summoned by the Mark of Hell is the brain. As long as the Demon Shark's brain is not destroyed, the Demon Shark should theoretically be able to function normally.

As for the brain area, Li Wei can forge a better mithril helmet for the Demon Shark, which will generally not suffer much wear and tear.

The most easily worn parts are the shark's limbs and torso.

"In that case, we can try to slightly modify the Demon Shark later. With my craftsmanship, forging some prosthetic bodies won't be a problem. The difficulty lies in how to modify and install them. Let's take it slow. With the Undead Core, such an unreasonable energy core, we've solved the most difficult power problem. Everything else is easy to handle."

However, given Li Wei's current skill level, he naturally couldn't forge a steel prosthetic body; he guessed that a wizard could.

"Let's make do with this for now. If it really doesn't work out, we'll have to replace the Magic Shark," Li Wei sighed.

"Let's go, Shark, let's continue. This time, we'll clear out all the snow demons inside the castle."

Li Wei replaced the Demon Shark's core with a new Undead Core.

He also replenished his food supplies, and without Duke Bluefeather and his retainers and knights, the subsequent castle cleaning work went smoothly.

As the lord of Ice Valley City and the duke of the Eternal Night Kingdom, Li Wei was looking forward to his gains at the Blue Feather Duke's mansion.

Li Wei and Magic Shark complement each other perfectly; Li Wei possesses the Sorrow of Frost, while Magic Shark has the Pride of a Lion!

Li Wei possesses extraordinary endurance, and the Demon Shark has a necromantic core!

Two muscular men transformed into a snow monster meat grinder, five days later.

The snow demons inside the castle were all gone.

In the open space inside the castle, Li Wei looked at the piles of undead cores stacked on the ground like small mountains, feeling extremely satisfied.

"It will last a very, very long time."

"In particular, I also obtained more than a dozen knight-level undead cores and two grand knight-level undead cores. The cruising ability of a single grand knight-level core is a hundred times that of an ordinary undead core."

Li Wei packed all the Undead Cores into a bag, filling it to the brim, and had Demon Shark carry it.

"Next comes the treasure hunt. I need to be extra careful and not let my guard down just because there are no snow demons around." Li Wei grabbed a handful of materials for casting the Guardian Seal, ready to release the Radiant Silver Guardian at any moment!

The magic shark stood protectively behind Li Wei.

Blue Feather Castle was very large, and Li Wei began to explore it room by room.

However, Levi did not go to the tower in the very center that was emitting blue light for the time being. His intuition told him that it was not a simple place and was very likely the place guarded by Duke Blue Feather.

He wanted to figure out the situation here first from other places before exploring the tower.

The castle exuded the aura of time, and the Blue Feather family was also an ancient family. Li Wei wandered through it.

Li Wei opened the doors to each room, and they all seemed to be exactly the same as they had been years ago, unchanged. The tables, chairs, vases—everything was intact.

However, a layer of frost had formed on the surface of all these things.

"This is a sudden disaster; only living things will be affected. These inanimate objects seem to be unaffected," Li Wei thought to himself.

This place is said to be one of the sources of the Snow Demon's mutation, so Li Wei is being extra cautious.

After all, what he was facing might be a surging tide of demons from multiple dimensions.

Half a day later, Li Wei had already ravaged most of the buildings and rooms of Duke Bluefeather.

There was nothing there except for some remaining snow demons.

However, in a very hidden underground chamber, Li Wei found some treasures.

With his advanced vibration perception, Levi could easily tell from the tapping and knocking that the castle was empty or that there might be a secret room.

Therefore, this kind of secret room is not difficult for him, unless Duke Blue Feather builds a secret room very deep underground, which would be beyond the range of advanced vibration perception.

Now, in this secret room, laid out before Li Wei are some treasures collected by the Duke of Blue Feather, including jewelry, ornaments, some masterpieces, and some rare antiques.

"These are good things. They're worth tens of thousands of gold coins in total, but they take up too much space and are impossible to carry around." Li Wei looked at the treasured paintings, antiques, and other artworks.

"Put it here for now, and take it out slowly later. Let's find the breathing techniques and the like first."

Unfortunately, Duke Blue Feather was not a collector of breathing techniques, and Li Wei searched around but couldn't find any.

Li Wei surveyed the surroundings, leaving no corner unchecked.

He gently tapped the wall, then placed his palm on it, carefully sensing its texture.

Suddenly, something caught Li Wei's attention.

"There's also a secret room." Li Wei was overjoyed.

He carefully made his way to the dark room, and after searching for a long time, he finally found a switch. He activated the Guardian Seal and pressed the switch.

There were no hidden weapons or anything like that; a stone door slowly opened.

It was pitch black inside.

"Demon Shark, you go first." Li Wei told Demon Shark to go first, while he held the materials for casting the Guardian Seal, ready to activate the protection and run away at any time.

However, it is clear that Li Wei is being overly suspicious.

There are no traps or monsters inside.

There were no mountains of gold and silver.

There was only one tightly closed treasure chest.

"Could it be some kind of mimic?" Levi wondered.

The treasure chest was made of mithril mixed with refined iron, and it was secured with a mithril lock, which was made of pure mithril.

And this place obviously doesn't have the key to the treasure chest.

"This is the real treasure trove!"

Li Wei also failed to find the key on Duke Bluefeather, which made him frown.

"We can't find the key now. We can only try to break it open by force. The box is too hard. It won't work if I try to break it with my Frostmourne."

"We need to find weapons made of a metal even stronger than mithril."

"Wait, I do have one."

Li Wei was delighted.

"Shark, give me the hammer."

Magic Shark silently handed the Lion King's Pride to Li Wei.

Li Wei gazed at the handle of the Lion King's Pride hammer.

"Made of pure obsidian, it must be the hardest thing in the world, bar none!"

"Using the handle of the Lion King's Pride hammer, combined with the advanced ripple power of my Golden Cross Slash, I should be able to force my way through!"

Li Wei took the hammer, holding the joint between the handle and the head.

His veins bulged, black mist emanated from his body, and white smoke billowed, making him look like a steam locomotive about to start!

Rumble!

The roar of tigers and leopards is thunderous, their muscles and bones resounding!

This is the first time Li Wei has used a blunt weapon to perform the Golden Cross Slash!

With his current advanced Ripple skill, he should have no problem using blunt weapons or even his palms!

However, Li Wei was still uneasy about using his physical body, fearing that while he might kill a thousand enemies, he would also suffer heavy losses himself.

His plan was to wait until he reached the limit of his Black Serpent form before attempting to unleash advanced Ripple power through his palms.

boom!

The handle of the Lion King's Pride hammer trembled, and ripples spread through the space.

This is a high-level ripple power, second only to the Supreme Cyclone!

next moment!

With a snap.

The entire mithril lock was shattered by Li Wei's full-force Ripple Cross Slash!

Li Wei quickly turned the hammer right side up and swung it high into the air, exhaling white breath from his mouth and nose.

If there are any undead monsters in this treasure chest.

Li Wei was going to use the pride of the Lion King to smash his opponent to pieces!

Clearly, the spider senses did not react at all.

Li Wei was scaring himself again.

This isn't the first or second time this has happened.

"Being careful is never a bad idea," Li Wei muttered to himself as he instructed the Demon Shark to open the mithril chest.

There was only one item inside the treasure chest.

It was a gray bag that exuded a bloody smell.

"..."

The more abnormal the situation, the more cautious Li Wei became.

The gray bag has faint veins visible on it, and if you look closely, you can see that it is trembling slightly, as if it were alive.

"What is this thing?" Even Li Wei, who was quite knowledgeable, was dumbfounded at this moment.

The spider senses indicate that this thing is not dangerous.

However, Li Wei's advanced vibration perception allowed him to sense the invisible tremor emanating from the gray bag.

"Demon Shark, go get it." Li Wei took a few steps back without making a sound, hiding behind Demon Shark. He held the Guardian Seal in his left hand and the Flame Stream Seal in his right, and there were also casting materials for the Dragon Might Seal in his pocket.

If this bag causes any trouble, just use your magic sign!

Mosha silently picked up the bag with his large hand, and the moment he did so, three cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the bag.

The two above, the one below.

The crack above slowly opened, revealing the eerie red pupil inside.

Then the crack below opened, revealing a pair of white and sharp teeth inside.

Click, click.

The teeth clashed, producing a chilling grinding sound.

"Gibberish, babbling babbling."

A bunch of words that Li Wei couldn't understand at all came out of this thing's mouth.

Although Li Wei couldn't understand what this thing was saying.

But judging from its angry expression, he had reason to believe that the damned mouth was cursing him.

*Splat*

The shark slapped the bag across the face.

A dark handprint was imprinted on its "face".

"Shut up."

Li Wei angrily retorted, "This thing's noise is extremely annoying."

The bag immediately fell silent.

He blinked, looking at Li Wei with an expression of anger that he dared not express.

"Interesting, it seems to be alive."

"Pocket Monsters?"

For a moment, Li Wei was also unsure.

He took out a snuff bottle from his pocket.

Then he twisted open the snuff bottle lid, and a plume of black smoke billowed out.

The phantom of the bald, muscular man appeared before Li Wei.

The next moment, the burly man was grasped in Li Wei's black aura hand.

"Tutankhamun, what is this thing?" Levi asked coldly, pointing at the pocket monster in the Demon Shark's hand.

Tutankhamun looked as if he were suffocating, and then looked in the direction Li Wei was pointing.

He was slightly startled when he saw the pocket monster.

"This is something from our school. Where did you find it?" Tutankhamun asked.

"I'm asking you, what is this thing!" Li Wei asked coldly.

"This is... the Bag of Gluttony," Tutankhamun said slowly, recalling some distant memories.
