Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 132 Crimson Lotus Form! Explosion! (First update! 5k words, please subscribe!)

At Li Wei's current pace, even if he travels at full speed, it wouldn't take him more than a few days to travel from the south to the north.

He returned to his territory, and everything was fine during the months he was away. The three brothers and the two generals, Heng and Ha, were also doing well.

Upon returning to the territory, I listened to the servants' reports and found that nothing had indeed happened recently.

Lying on his bed in his shelter, Li Wei felt at ease.

"Black Mountain Dog is dead, Bloody Earl is dead, we're still missing Silver Veil Earl. I'll go find him after I've rested up a bit."

"Let the forces of Montenegro and the royal family fight like dogs for now. I can't take any more action, or I'll be helping the royal family too much. It would be better if they both suffered heavy losses, as that would be more advantageous to me."

"The war is estimated to end within a year or two. Without the Duke of Black Mountain, the Black Mountain family probably wouldn't be able to win..."

"This massive rebellion that swept across the country was ultimately doomed to failure."

"Black Mountain's last words suggest that he must have some knowledge about the four major families. I wonder if we can get any information about the four major families from Black Mountain."

Li Wei's breathing technique is now almost at the pinnacle of the world. He has defeated Black Mountain, who is comparable to the Fist of the Empire. On the path of chivalry, he has only one goal: to become a legendary knight.

Therefore, the focus should gradually shift to the path of wizardry.

He will continue to practice the Knight's Breathing Technique, constantly pushing his limits.

He wanted to see where the limits of the knight were.

During this time, Li Xiuwei spent his spare time learning some basic wizarding knowledge from Tutankhamun, so as to avoid entering the wizarding world completely clueless and being deceived without even realizing it.

The deal with Earl Silver Mountain is almost over.

Li Wei's old friend, whose body and mind had been severely damaged by the evil spirit, has almost fully recovered in the past few months.

Overall, Li Wei still hoped that the Earl of the Silver Mountain would live a long time.

With him holding down the fort in Icewind City, even if the Snow Demons invade, Li Wei will have some room to maneuver.

After the evil spirit in Icewind City was dealt with, Bishop Adolf returned.

He had grown even older, so the church sent a young high knight to assist the bishop.

Aside from visiting the Shining Tavern once a month to gather intelligence, Li Wei rarely went to Icewind City.

With the arrival of the New Year in 1015, the war between the North and South was nearing its end.

The Montenegrin coalition suffered repeated defeats, and Count Silverveil, an important nobleman, fled with his family overnight to seek refuge in the neighboring Tuva Empire.

Meanwhile, the Southern Allied Forces continued to reclaim lost territory.

The Black Mountain family retreated again and again, ultimately holding out for Stormwind.

Making a final struggle.

The Black Mountain Rebellion, which once spread like wildfire, ended in this manner after more than two years.

However, given Stormwind's military strength, they should be able to put up a last-ditch effort for at least six months.

The southern nobles were already thinking about how to divide the territories of these rebellious northern nobles.

Inside Blackwater Valley, Li Wei was in a magical state.

His entire consciousness seemed to have entered a sea of ​​consciousness.

The sea of ​​consciousness is boundless and unfathomable.

Golden sunlight spilled onto the sea, making it sparkle and shimmer.

"Sea of ​​Sunshine!"

"I've mastered the first stage of deep-sea meditation. The next step is to continuously dive deeper and hone my mental strength."

Li Wei's consciousness was immersed in this golden ocean, enveloped by the warm sunlight, which strengthened his spiritual power.

"Is this amazing place real?"

Li Wei suddenly had this thought.

He gazed at this ocean of consciousness. So far, in this shallow sea of ​​sunlight, there were no living beings or other entities in sight.

"It must be illusory, just some kind of symbol," Li Wei thought.

He withdrew from the sea of ​​consciousness and looked at the recording tablet in his palm.

On the stone slab are lines of characters, like waves in the ocean.

In some ways, meditation and breathing techniques have similarities.

Li Wei had previously wondered if knights might be experimental products created by wizards through the combination of the bloodline of some powerful supernatural being with humans. He had asked Tutankhamun about this, but Tutankhamun wasn't sure either, only saying that the origins of knights were also very ancient.

There is indeed a school of thought among wizards that studies forbidden life transmutation, also known as the Life School. This school mainly focuses on bloodline studies and mutation studies, and Ms. Rowling is a representative figure of this school.

The Life School likes to use the bloodlines of different extraordinary creatures to synthesize and create more and more magical extraordinary creatures. Talking mushrooms and six-winged swans are products of the Life School. They even use these forbidden life spells to modify their own bodies, turning themselves into monster-like beings.

However, the School of Life is a new school of thought; before its emergence, knights had already been walking the earth in much earlier times.

Therefore, the origin of knights should be traced back to an earlier period.

Li Wei stopped dwelling on the issue.

Over the past year, he has made significant progress in all aspects of his spiritual practice.

First, I tried meditation, and finally got the hang of it.

The moment one's consciousness enters the Sea of ​​Sunlight is the standard for entry.

This means that Livy has officially embarked on his wizarding journey.

Of course, he has only just stepped into the threshold of a low-level wizard apprenticeship.

He was still a low-level wizard apprentice who hadn't even mastered a single magic trick.

Li Wei————

Deep Sea Meditation Method: Level 1 (1/1000)

……

"Anyway, I can call myself Wizard Levi from now on," Levi thought to himself with secret delight.

I've been in this world for thirteen years.

In the end, he embarked on the wizarding journey.

This is a good start.

Livy summoned Tutankhamun.

"I've now mastered the basics of meditation, so I should be a low-level wizard apprentice. Do you have any spell models? Give me ten or eight of them," Li Wei said.

Tutankhamun said with a wry smile, "A low-level wizard apprentice can only master a maximum of three zero-ring tricks, and I don't have spell models here. Spell models are generally only available in the land of the unbelievers. You need to go to each school and spend money to buy them, in an equivalent exchange."

"Spell models are the core patents of each school of thought. They are not passed on randomly and are unlikely to fall into the human world. For now, you should focus on practicing meditation to strengthen your mental power. Don't think about spells right now."

"It's not too late to study magic after you've laid a solid foundation."

Tutankhamun said.

"Huh? There aren't even spell models?" Li Wei frowned.

Tutankhamun shrugged and said, "No, really."

"Since I don't have a spell model, I'll work on the meditation technique first and hurry up and find the Realm of the Believers," Li Wei sighed inwardly.

In the past year, besides the breakthrough in meditation techniques...

Li Wei has also made significant progress in other skills.

Tortoise Breathing Technique: Level 7 (467/50000), Special Effect: Top-tier Defense.

Vortex Beast Breathing Technique: Tier 3 (3567/10000).

…………

With the help of the blood of the Great Ice Ape King, the Giant Breathing Technique successfully broke through to the eighth rank, giving birth to new extraordinary power.

It won't be long before this breathing technique reaches its limit. Li Wei wants to see what kind of changes will occur after the Giant Breathing Technique reaches its limit.

Li Xiuwei has pushed the seventh-order speed-type breathing technique, the Thunder Wolf Breathing Technique, to its limit.

This kind of third-rate, excellent quality breathing technique is not difficult to practice.

Li Wei originally intended to use the Thunder Wolf Breathing Technique to break the limits of the Siren Breathing Technique.

However, after obtaining a better Blood Beast Breathing Technique that could be cultivated to the ninth level, he planned to keep it to break through the limits of the Blood Beast Breathing Technique.

The Blood Beast's speed was clearly greater than that of the Siren, and similar to the Pale Shadow's breathing technique.

It's just that the Bloodthirsty Earl wasn't skilled enough and didn't demonstrate the Blood Beast's power.

However, it can be used as Li Wei's primary breathing technique for speed-based training in the future.

In addition, the Giant Tortoise, Ostrich Mountain, and Red Lotus Breathing Techniques have all been cultivated to the seventh level.

Before reaching the seventh rank, the required proficiency for breakthrough is not high, and for Li Wei now, cultivation is quick.

Once the ninth level of the Elephant Turtle Breathing Technique has been reached, it can be integrated with the Black Serpent, allowing the Black Serpent to break through its limits and strive towards the tenth level limit.

While the gaseous black scales are quite strong defensively, they are still far inferior to the liquid black scales.

If Li Wei possessed the Black Serpent Breathing Technique at its tenth-tier limit, he would be able to face powerful figures like the Duke of Black Mountain with greater ease.

The eleventh-tier limit of the Black Serpent Breathing Technique should correspond to the legendary level.

At that time, the black energy could transform into solid black scales, just like the scales of a real black snake, covering the entire body. That was true invulnerability to swords and spears, and indestructibility!

Among these breathing techniques, the only one that is somewhat unique is the Red Lotus Breathing Technique.

After reaching the fourth level, this breathing technique introduces a new special effect: Crimson Lotus Blood.

"Crimson Lotus Blood: You can burn and heat your blood for a short period of time, thereby gaining a comprehensive enhancement of your physical attributes. Strength, explosiveness, speed, endurance, defense, and perception will all be strengthened to varying degrees. This effect cannot be upgraded, but its duration and effectiveness will slightly increase as your cultivation level rises. After burning Crimson Lotus Blood, there will be a recovery period. During this period, you must not use Crimson Lotus Blood again, otherwise it will lead to a drop in your cultivation level, or even more serious life-threatening dangers, damaging your physical foundation!"

This blood of the red lotus is similar to the "bone shrinking and shape changing" of the Siren Breathing Technique and the "spider sense" of the Human-faced Spider Breathing Technique; both are extremely rare secondary special effects.

Most breathing techniques, such as the Black Serpent, have a single special effect; the higher the quality, the higher the upper limit of the special effect.

This breathing technique, which possesses a second special effect, is extremely rare and highly sought after.

Of all the breathing techniques Li Wei had learned, he had only encountered three.

The second special effect is often not upgradable; it can only be mechanically and slightly improved as the player's skill level increases.

But without a doubt.

Crimson Blood is an extremely powerful special effect.

A pure burst effect can comprehensively enhance Li Wei's various attributes.

An incredibly powerful burst skill.

Li Wei tested it as soon as he got it.

After using the Blood of the Crimson Lotus.

All of one's attributes are significantly enhanced, with the increase varying slightly depending on the attribute. Some attributes that receive a strong increase, such as the main attribute of the Crimson Lotus Breathing Technique, Strength, can be increased by as much as 50%.

Some attributes with weak amplification, such as speed, only increase by about one-tenth.

But no matter what, this increase, even if it's only one-tenth, is already terrifying.

Especially for someone like Li Wei, every one percent increase in attributes represents a significant improvement.

When fighting against others, one's various physical attributes suddenly increase by one-tenth to one-half. How abnormal is that?

Of course, the drawbacks of the Crimson Lotus Blood are also quite obvious.

It causes significant damage to the body. After Li Wei used it last time, he had a recovery period of up to half a month. During this period, Li Wei's strength was even weaker than in his normal state.

Therefore, Crimson Blood is a standard skill that kills a thousand enemies but also inflicts eight hundred casualties on the user.

It should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

Li Wei felt that there were very few people in the world who could make him use the blood of the Crimson Lotus.

With his current strength, even the Fist of the Empire would have to kneel before him.

Besides the breathing technique, Li Wei's Black Demon Blade has also reached the second-tier limit.

Li Wei————

Black Demon Blade: Tier 2 (Limit, Limits Can Be Broken)

……

Perhaps due to limitations in his mental strength, he is currently unable to comprehend the third stage, being possessed by evil spirits.

However, the second-tier limit of the Black Demon Blade was already very useful to him.

He can now condense black energy into hidden weapons and throw them a full hundred meters away, which is about the range of an arrow.

However, the power of the black energy hidden weapons is enough to tear through armor and the defenses of a great knight!

"Now, whether it's close-range or ranged attacks, I'm much stronger than I was last year. It's just a pity that it's lonely at the top. I don't have a single decent opponent anymore. Life is truly as lonely as snow," Li Wei sighed.

He is very strong now, not because he's arrogant, but because he really is.

Even if all four members of the Demon Clan attacked together, they wouldn't last more than a few rounds against Li Wei now; he could take them down with a single palm strike.

Li Wei had mastered the Golden Ripple Palm technique to perfection, becoming increasingly proficient. With a single strike, meridians would be severed, bones shattered, and the power of the ripples would sweep through the body, wreaking havoc on the internal organs!

This is a killer move!

When they strike, they will kill!

Li Wei walked out of the shelter.

"Now that I've mastered the basics of meditation, I can just work on it gradually from here on out."

"Next, we still need to find information about the four major families."

"Perhaps the Duke of Montenegro's son should know something."

"After staying at home for so long, it's time to go out and get some fresh air."

Li Wei is now riding high, and without realizing it, he has reached such a level in the way of chivalry that he can now stand at the summit and survey all the mountains below.

"The legendary knight is almost here."

"However, it's still best to keep a low profile."

"I don't need to show off in front of the church."

"Legendary knights are nothing more than larger ants to the gods. What difference does it make if they're just ants? They can be crushed with a single finger."

Li Wei was very clear about his own limitations.

He packed his things; this trip shouldn't take long.

The main purpose is to settle things with the Black Mountain family and the Silver Veil family.

"I heard that Count Silverveil has defected to the Tuva Empire. It's time for me to revisit this place. I wonder where that kid, Fist of the Empire, is now," Li Wei thought to himself.

There was a time when I fled in panic under the lingering power of the Empire's fist.

Now, he is no longer afraid of him.

Even without using the signs and the power of wizards, Levi was confident that he could defeat the Fist of the Empire.

This is his confidence in his self-created Golden Ripple Palm technique.

In a few more years, the Golden Ripple Palm will be able to transform into the Golden Spinning Palm.

At that time, Li Wei wondered who in the world could withstand his palm strike.

Three days later, Li Wei left Blackwater Valley.

The battle-damaged versions of the Four Demon Generals followed closely behind.

He had another purpose for this trip: to eliminate Mosha and his gang and bring in a new batch of undead.

Apart from Shadow Blood Count, both Demon Shark, Demon Mountain, and Demon Sea are severely worn down, greatly affecting their combat power.

Therefore, Li Wei's most urgent task is to replace the dead with a fresh batch of new ones.

My current seventh-tier magic seal has a total of seven summoning slots.

However, Li Wei's standards have risen. He no longer looks down on ordinary Grand Knights. Once the Seven Generals are formed, those who can join the Demon Army must be top-tier Grand Knights.

This is how it can truly be effective in battles against top-tier powerhouses.

Otherwise, they would end up like the Duke of Black Mountain, who would have them all cut down one by one.

Li Wei first went to Icewind City.

He met Earl Silver Mountain again, disguised as a man with a golden warhammer.

"My lord, this is the last transaction. After this shipment, our deal will be complete," Li Wei said.

Earl Silvermountain's expression was complicated. He looked at the golden warhammer and said, "Master, prepare to seek refuge in the south. I have just received accurate information that the Snow Demon has appeared in Black Mountain City, and the kingdom and the southern nobles have abandoned the northern border."

"What? They've appeared in Black Mountain City? So fast?" Li Wei was startled.

During this time, everyone was busy with the civil war, and Li Wei was busy cultivating and gaining experience, completely forgetting about the Snow Demon.

He hadn't expected the Snow Demon to appear in Black Mountain City so quickly.

"Yes, the sky in the center of Black Mountain City... cracked open. Some people saw a bright blue light, and then blue snowflakes began to fall from the sky. In the snowflakes, some people turned into snow demons, biting their lovers to death, eating their own flesh and blood, and killing their comrades..."

"Master, winter has come; the real disaster has arrived."
