Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 126 Third-Order Flame Stream, The Black Serpent Returns! (First Update! 5000 words, please subscribe)

Icewind City, Silver Mountain Fortress.

Earl Silver Mountain was handling state affairs when suddenly a figure appeared silently behind him.

He turned around, and the white wolf mask came into view.

A powerful black aura emanated from the man's hand, within which a phantom evil spirit struggled weakly, seemingly about to dissipate in the wind at any moment.

Earl Silver Mountain's expression hardened.

"Your Excellency... Your Excellency succeeded?"

Li Wei nodded.

"Naturally, it's time for the Earl to fulfill his promise."

Li Wei said.

Earl Silver Mountain stared incredulously at the white wolf who held the evil spirit in its grasp.

Is this still the same evil spirit that almost caused me to fall victim to its trap and die without a burial place?

However, upon seeing the appearance of the evil spirit, Earl Silver Mountain knew without a doubt that this was the dangerous-level evil spirit, the Soul-Stealing Nun.

"Very well, what does Your Excellency desire?" Earl Silver Mountain asked.

"I want all the breathing technique inheritance diagrams that you possess," Li Wei said.

Count Silver Mountain looked at Li Wei and suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.

There was another person who made the same demands of himself.

Golden Warhammer - Terra Master.

Earl Silver Mountain seemed to have thought of something.

But he was a smart man; since the other party could easily kill a dangerous evil spirit.

Then I am definitely no match for him.

Therefore, he wisely refrained from asking his question.

Sometimes, it's best to avoid having the curiosity that shouldn't be there.

As long as there is no conflict of interest between the two parties, that's fine.

"Can."

As long as this evil spirit can be dealt with, the Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram is indeed nothing.

That's just a hobby.

"However, I cannot grant you the breathing technique of our Silver Mountain family. I hope you will understand. As compensation, I am willing to pay you an additional two thousand gold coins," Earl Silver Mountain added after thinking for a moment.

"Compared to this breathing technique, even the Giant Breathing Technique pales in comparison."

"From now on, I'll focus on the Crimson Lotus Breathing Technique as my main power-type breathing technique, and use the Giant Breathing Technique and the Giant Rhinoceros Breathing Technique to break through limits."

The Crimson Lotus Breathing Technique should represent the highest level among knight breathing techniques.

After all, the concept of a legendary breathing technique is a pseudo-concept. Any breathing technique that has ever been legendary can be called a legendary breathing technique.

"The Crimson Lotus Elixir's main ingredient is earthworm blood..."

"It's another earth dragon beast."

Li Wei couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow for the Earth Dragon Beast.

"However, the blood of the earth dragon is much easier to obtain than ambergris; it's not that difficult."

This was good news for Li Wei, who was afraid of encountering something like the eggs of planarians, which would make practicing the Crimson Lotus Breathing Technique much more difficult.

After putting away "Red Lotus Breathing Method," Li Wei looked at the other four breathing method books.

These are the "Giant Tortoise Breathing Method," the "Thunder Wolf Breathing Method," the "Sacred Ant Breathing Method," and the "Longhorn Beetle Breathing Method."

Among these, the Holy Ant and Longhorn Beetle Breathing Techniques are both power-type breathing techniques.

Li Wei looked at them; one could cultivate to the seventh level limit, and the other to the eighth level limit.

It is far inferior to the red lotus.

Since Li Wei doesn't lack power-type breathing techniques for the time being, he puts them aside for now and will decide whether to practice them later depending on the situation.

He looked at the tortoise breathing technique.

This breathing technique is a rare defensive breathing technique.

There are a total of 68 different little figure designs.

It should be possible to cultivate to the ninth level limit.

It's on the same level as the Black Snake Breathing Technique.

On the illustration, a giant elephant with thick limbs and its entire body covered in tortoise shell stands in the wilderness, like a mountain.

"This is a good thing. It must be practiced. It can be used to break through the limits of the Black Serpent Breathing Technique."

Li Wei thought to himself, "Perfect."

This ninth-tier ultimate defensive breathing technique can be exchanged for 6 points of limit-breaking points.

In addition, there was another rudimentary defensive breathing technique that Li Wei had previously acquired.

The combined limit-breaking points are just enough to allow Black Snake to break through its limits.

Therefore, this breathing technique is also essential to practice.

The secret medicine needed for the Tortoise Breathing Technique, and the main ingredient needed, is the armored mammoth that Li Wei brought back from the far north some time ago!

"I knew it! Luckily I was prepared and brought the armored mammoth back in advance!"

Li Wei couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings).

After learning so many breathing techniques, he had basically figured out the patterns of these breathing techniques completely.

The necessary elixirs are basically similar to the giant beasts depicted in the inheritance diagram.

The last breathing technique is the Thunder Wolf Breathing Technique, a speed-type breathing technique.

It is possible to cultivate up to the seventh level limit.

The secret medicine is made from the flesh and blood of the Blue Wolf.

Blue wolves are a relatively common wild animal, so they're not difficult to deal with.

"With this in mind, breaking through the limits of the Siren Breathing Technique is basically no problem."

"This exorcism was a huge success."

After Li Wei finished sorting through the harvest...

He then took the three Mo brothers and left Icewind City overnight.

He's going south, now that the Duke of Montenegro has gone south.

There's no point in going to Black Mountain City by myself.

Of course, before seeking revenge against the Duke of Black Mountain, it's essential to gather intelligence about him thoroughly to avoid any mishaps.

Li Wei also thought of a suitable candidate.

Naturally, it refers to the two Counts from the South, the Bloodthirsty Earl and the Silver Veil Earl, who are currently thriving.

At Li Wei's pace, it wouldn't take him more than a few days to travel from the Black Mountain Province to the Green Forest Province.

These past few days, he has been traveling through the deserted wilderness, practicing the Dragon's Might Seal whenever he has free time.

After killing the Soul-Stealing Nun, he obtained enough Undead Dust to upgrade the Dragon's Might Seal to Tier 2.

The Duke of Montenegro seems to have the trump card to control evil spirits. Levi may have to face not only the Duke of Montenegro, but also the evil spirits he controls.

Therefore, Li Wei naturally had to prepare his most powerful weapon against evil spirits.

This time, Li Wei went directly to the flower city of Tulip Territory.

This city belongs to me.

Although it was the month of the North Wind, the South wasn't particularly cold.

The tulip-covered area is still covered with lush flowers, grasses, and trees.

After Li Wei set foot on this land, the memories belonging to the original owner seemed to slowly surface.

He arrived in the City of Flowers not long after.

He could see the giant city from afar.

Its permanent population is significantly larger than that of Icewind City.

The city is surrounded by a variety of flowers, which bloom at different times to ensure that the city is in full bloom all year round.

Along the way, some troops could be seen departing from the Flower City, most likely heading to the front lines.

Li Wei gazed at the colossal city, his heart as still as a deep well.

"Ten years have passed, and I'm back."

During wartime, entry checks into the Flower City were very strict.

Unfortunately for Li Wei, he didn't even need to take the right path to get in.

Upon entering the city, Li Wei did not rush to find the Bloody Earl.

He found a place to stay and temporarily settled the three Mo brothers.

Then I spent the afternoon at the Shining Tavern, listening to the conversations of the patrons through advanced vibration perception.

Based on the intelligence he has obtained so far, the Duke of Blackmountain has established a new base in Stormwind City by the sea, which was previously controlled by Earl Silverveil.

Now that Black Mountain has arrived, Earl Silver Veil, that dog, naturally relinquished his territory.

The Bloodthirsty Earl has also been away from the city these past few days. He has personally led his troops to cooperate with the Black Mountain army in attacking another earl's territory, and he is expected to return victorious within a month.

Having obtained the information he wanted, Li Wei returned to his residence to continue his cultivation.

He planned to wait for the Bloodthirsty Earl in the City of Flowers; the monk might run away, but the temple wouldn't.

He needed to ask the count if he was getting used to living in the City of Flowers.

About ten days later.

Li Wei's Dragon Might Seal has finally broken through to the second tier.

The second-tier Dragon's Might Seal didn't bring any substantial changes; it was just that its power was slightly greater than before.

At the same time, Li Wei's Flame Stream Seal finally reached the third tier.

The yellow-white flames advance to the blue-green flames.

The range of the flame jet also increased to four meters, and the temperature was also higher.

A distance of four meters is beyond the attack range of most knight's weapons.

This means that Li Wei can kill other Grand Knights without taking any damage by relying on the Flame Stream Mark and his extraordinary speed to kite them.

Even if the former Fist of the Empire were in front of him, Li Wei was confident he could kill him.

Therefore, although Li Wei was cautious when facing Montenegro, he was already confident.

Of the four great seals, the only one that has not been improved is the seal of protection.

After all, Li Wei has not found a second piece of pyroxene yet.

And so, Li Wei patiently waited for a month.

In the year 1012 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, in the winter month, mid-month.

Amidst the commotion outside the city gates, Li Wei knew that the Bloody Earl must have returned.

He wore a white wolf mask and stood quietly in front of the second-floor window of his residence.

As a large group of people walked towards them amidst cheers, they watched.

The leader rode a tall horse, wearing blood-red scale armor. He was not very tall, had a ruddy complexion, held a blood-red spear, and even his hair was blood-red.

Judging from the Bloody Earl's smug expression, it was clear that they had won the battle.

Li Wei watched silently, without saying a word.

The Bloody Earl walked past Livy amidst cheers.

"I heard there will be a banquet tonight. After the banquet, that will be my time to make my move." Li Wei made his plans.

Since the main objective this time was to secretly capture the Bloodthirsty Earl, Li Wei did not plan to bring the three brothers. The three brothers were not fast or agile enough, and were only suitable for frontal battles, not for sneak attacks.

He began preparing for the operation, repeatedly checking each item one by one.

As night fell, Li Wei stepped out of his house and disappeared into the darkness like an ordinary passerby.

"Time for liquidation."

……

Flower Castle.

The Bloodthirsty Earl drank his wine, watching the minor nobles and knights celebrating below.

His life has never been so fulfilling.

Following the Duke of Black Mountain, he distinguished himself among the southern counts.

In just a few years, his reputation as the Bloodthirsty Earl had spread throughout the South.

He became known as the "bloody butcher" feared by many nobles, both high and low.

When Lord Black Mountain completely unified the country and declared himself king and emperor.

He himself will become the true "King's Left Hand".

All of this is not far off.

After a hearty meal, the nobles and knights went back to rest.

The Bloody Earl was not sleepy; he sat there, drinking alone.

Under the starry night, a shadow appeared in front of him.

"Enemy attack!" the Bloody Earl shouted.

His guards began to protect him, and the Bloody Earl picked up his lance, which was at hand; a proper knight never lets his weapon out of his sight.

boom!

A figure landed heavily on the ground, cracking the floorboards.

Li Wei stretched his muscles and clenched his fists, making a cracking sound.

He exuded a terrifying black aura, an aura that gave the Bloodthirsty Earl a sense of déjà vu.

Until the moment he saw the gaseous black scales on the back of the figure's hand.

He exclaimed in shock, "Black Snake? Aren't you dead? I saw you die with my own eyes!"

"How is this possible? How is this possible? How can the dead come back to life?"

The Bloody Earl seemed to recall some memories.

This surprised Li Wei slightly, as he had thought that the kingdom was behind his father's death.

In retrospect, it seems to be related to the Bloody Earl.

"My dear Bloodthirsty Earl, it's been a long time."

The white wolf smiled and spoke as if talking to an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Kill this man, and there will be a hefty reward!"

As the Bloodthirsty Earl commanded his soldiers to charge, he himself gripped a spear and charged toward Li Wei.

Black energy swirled around the spear. The Bloodthirsty Earl's ancestral breathing technique was of a quality no less than the Black Serpent Breathing Technique, and could also be cultivated to the level of a top-tier Grand Knight. It was just a pity that his talent was average, and his strength was only that of an ordinary Grand Knight.

"Die! No matter why you were resurrected, with Lord Black Mountain around, you'll be going back to hell sooner or later!"

The Bloodthirsty Earl's spear moved like a dragon, its cold light shooting out, the blood-red spear entwined with black energy.

Frostmourne is unleashed!

Golden Cross Slash!

Invincible advanced Ripple power!

Click.

Although the Bloody Count's spear was also a mithril spear, its density was only average. Compared to Li Wei's increasingly skilled Golden Cross Slash and the pure mithril longsword Frostmourne, it was no match for him.

It couldn't hold on after just one collision.

"So powerful! It really was you, that Iron-Cutting Sword Technique!"

The Bloodthirsty Earl was terrified and suddenly lost all will to fight.

This is truly the Black Serpent Knight returning from the dead for revenge!

The black scale-like aura that only appears when one has cultivated to the highest level, and that familiar Iron-Cutting Sword Technique that is even more powerful than before I died!

Without the Duke of Black Mountain by his side, how could he possibly be a match for the Black Serpent Knight?

The Bloody Duke was afraid of death. He knew he couldn't defeat the Black Serpent, but he was a speed-type Grand Knight, and he was determined to use his speed advantage to escape first.

With a sudden burst of energy, he shot out, dodging Li Wei's attack. Without lingering, he fled.

In terms of strength, the Bloodthirsty Earl knew he was quite ordinary.

But when it comes to escape speed, among the great nobles of the South, the Bloodthirsty Earl is second to none!

He must escape and inform the Duke of Montenegro of this situation!

"Extraordinary speed? I can have that too!"

Li Wei sneered, and his entire being suddenly erupted, unleashing the power of the Siren species.

This time, he had to let the Bloodthirsty Earl experience... what true despair was!
