Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 141 Crimson Lotus Breakthrough! Golden Blood! (2nd update! 5000 words, please subscribe!)

The year 1015 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of Frosty Winter.

The flower city remains as warm as springtime.

Li Wei emerged from his meditative state.

Intelligence from the front lines indicates that Black Mountain City has fallen.

The snow demons have invaded the North.

Several of the Seven Holy Knights of the Church, leading members of the Knights Order, began hunting down the Snow Demons.

The good news is that since the blue frost outbreak in Black Mountain City, no other cities in the north have experienced a blue frost outbreak.

The Pope claimed that he had received an oracle from the Father of God.

God has taken notice of everything in the human world and will punish the evil god behind Blue Frost. God commands the world to unite around Him and fight against Blue Frost!

Li Wei expressed serious doubts about this.

"If God truly cares, then what about those who died before?" Li Wei sighed.

It is better to rely on yourself than on God.

Knight or wizard.

This is the best way for ordinary people to protect themselves.

If I didn't have that kind of ability...

If I were still just an ordinary minor lord.

Their own fate is probably no better than that of ordinary people.

After this period of training, and with Li Wei's continuous practice of casting spells...

Li Wei's insect control technique has finally reached the second level.

Li Wei————

Insect Control Technique: Tier 2 (1/5000)

……

The second-tier insect control technique has strengthened the connection between the user and the Sacred Armor Scorpion.

Li Wei was already able to barely control the Armored Scorpion.

Of course, he cannot control more than ten Armored Scorpions.

If there are more than ten, the excess armored scorpions will turn on you and devour you.

At the first level, Li Wei could control a Holy Armored Scorpion.

Therefore, he guessed that if it were a tenfold increase...

With my third-tier insect control technique, I should be able to control one hundred armored scorpions.

The fourth tier consists of one thousand.

Fifth tier, ten thousand...

Of course, this is on the premise that the insect control technique can be cultivated to the fifth level.

Ten armored scorpions are basically powerless in combat; to pose a threat to the Grand Knight, you would need at least a hundred.

Li Wei could only slowly grind away.

He has already spent too much time learning how to control insects.

Next, he'll have to pick up his breathing techniques again.

After all, at present, the method that provides the greatest and fastest boost to oneself is still breathing techniques.

Li Wei emerged from seclusion today because he had been contacted by several people recently.

Li Wei initially didn't want to pay any attention, but the soldier told him that the man might be a high knight, and Li Wei should go and take a look.

Li Wei thought about it and decided to go see him.

Not long after, the visitor appeared at Livy's Black Serpent Castle.

His face was aged, his body slightly hunched, he wore black armor, and had a full head of silver hair, but his obvious aura as a great knight made it impossible for anyone to ignore this old man.

It was none other than the Knight Anderson who visited Zhuge Liang three times.

"Your Excellency Lord Levi, I am Sir Anderson. I have some matters I would like to discuss with you," the old man said, neither humble nor arrogant, getting straight to the point.

Li Wei's spider-sense sensed a faint danger, which made his expression solemn.

The newcomer is definitely a strong person.

Although the opponent only displayed the strength of a Great Knight.

However, with his superhuman senses and mental strength, Levi could sense that this was the Anderson Knight.

He is definitely the strongest knight I have ever seen, at least no weaker than the Duke of Black Mountain and the Fist of the Empire.

The other person standing there gave off a feeling of returning to simplicity and harmony with nature.

"What brings you here, Mr. Anderson?"

Li Wei dismissed the servants and then asked the question.

Sir Anderson sighed and said softly, "Did you kill a vampire some time ago, sir?"

Upon hearing this, Li Wei's heart changed.

Did I not expect that despite my extreme caution, my attempt to kill a vampire would still be exposed?

Could this old man also be a vampire?

Indeed, there must be some kind of sensory connection between vampire members.

Li Wei secretly thought things were going to get complicated.

However, he wasn't really panicked.

With his own strength, as long as the opponent is not a native vampire, he is not without the ability to fight back.

At worst, I'll activate "Crimson Blood" and fight to the death.

Moreover, judging from the other party's attitude, it doesn't seem like they came to cause trouble.

"What do you mean?" Li Wei neither admitted nor denied, but pretended to be confused.

Sir Anderson smiled slightly: "I have no ill intentions. I just want to confirm this with you. Vinella is the name of the vampire you killed. She was my junior. She was eccentric and too unrestrained. I am not here to avenge Vinella."

Li Wei naturally didn't believe it, and he said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

They simply won't admit to killing him.

Sir Anderson remained calm and said, "Alright, it's nothing serious. I'll be frank. I'm also a vampire, an elder of Vinella. According to vampire rules, we usually retaliate fiercely against those who kill our fellow vampires. However, I'm a special case, so I won't retaliate against you. I just want to take Vinella's body away. I can sense Vinella's presence in your castle. In fact, if it weren't for my own moral principles, I could easily have sneaked into the castle without your knowledge, taken Vinella's body, or even snatched it back from you."

But my heart wouldn't allow me to do that.

I hope you will hand over Vinera's body to me. In return, I will grant you any request within my power, whether it be wealth or some secret arts, whatever I can provide.

I see you must be a wild wizard. If you wish to enter the realm of the unbelievers, I can introduce you to a mentor. I do know some wizards of good character.

"I'm not faking it," said the Knight Anderson in a low voice, his expression sincere.

This left Li Wei puzzled, and he was half-convinced.

He didn't believe that such vampires existed in the world.

Let alone vampires, there aren't many humans who follow the rules and moral standards like this.

However, this person is really too strong.

His old eyes seemed to see through everything.

This led Li Wei to basically accept the truthfulness of his words.

From the current perspective, the opponent is very likely a legendary knight or a formal wizard-level figure. Such a powerful person would not find it difficult to kill him.

There's no need to deceive yourself.

However, Li Wei stubbornly insisted, "I really don't know what you're talking about?"

Sir Anderson was both amused and exasperated; this lord was quite an interesting character.

Even after I've said all that, he still doesn't believe me.

It's only because Anderson has a good personality; if it were any other vampire, they would have torn Li Wei to pieces long ago.

"Very well, you may come to me anytime. I live at 13 Downton Street." With that, Sir Anderson waved and left.

Li Wei said, "As a vampire, aren't you afraid of the Church's punishment for appearing so openly in the human world?"

Sir Anderson turned around and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, and I believe you won't tell on me. After all, we all have secrets."

After saying this, the Knight Anderson disappeared from Levi's sight.

Li Wei looked thoughtful.

"This old guy should be an ancient vampire, most likely a first-generation vampire, but unlikely to be a native vampire. Native vampires are a bunch of complete madmen who look down on humans and treat them as food. They wouldn't be so polite to me."

The other party's performance demonstrates an exceptionally strong will; the vampire's will has not eroded his human will. He's no ordinary person.

Moreover, this old fellow could tell at a glance that I was a wild wizard, and he should be able to sense my extraordinary spiritual power.

This also served as a wake-up call for Li Wei.

Perhaps some of the stronger members of the church also saw through his true nature.

If the church finds out that he is secretly becoming a wizard, the consequences would be unimaginable.

As for the "wild wizards" the old man mentioned, this is the name given to those wizards in the realm of the unbelievers, who wander outside the realm of the unbelievers, hiding in the human world, without any organization or mentors to guide them.

Therefore, there are indeed some groups of wizards in the world, but they are very few and far between.

Firstly, in the human world, one would be watched by the church, constantly hiding and living in fear, which would make one feel completely uncomfortable. For example, Li Wei is currently in this situation. He doesn't dare to show his magic to others, for fear of accidentally revealing it to the church and getting into trouble.

Secondly, in the mortal world, the free-floating etheric elemental power is very thin. Whether constructing a spell model or casting a spell here, the effect is far less than in the realm of the unbelievers. The same person casting the same spell will have different power.

Moreover, wizards need to communicate with their peers to improve; it's difficult to achieve much by working in isolation. Individual wisdom is ultimately inferior to collective wisdom, and it's practically impossible to find fellow wizards to communicate with in the human world; no one wants to be here.

Li Wei had no choice but to stay here temporarily.

Although Sir Anderson spoke with sincerity, Levi could not trust him at the moment.

If he really does as he says, Li Wei could take the body out and exchange it for something he needs.

The other party did show sufficient sincerity, but he was, after all, a vampire, so Li Wei could not be too careful.

What if the other party has some way to revive Winnie? If Winnie comes back to life and causes trouble for him again, wouldn't Levi be asking for trouble?

Trying not to think about Anderson, the days of meditation passed by one by one, and there was still no news of Huozhi.

On this day of the New Year in the year 1016 of the Holy Radiance Calendar.

Li Wei's Crimson Lotus Breathing Technique has reached the eighth level.

Li Wei————

Crimson Lotus Breathing Technique: Rank 8 (1/100000), Special Effects: Extraordinary Power, Crimson Lotus Blood.

……

This is the fourth "superpower" effect created by Li Wei.

Li Wei was completely unmoved by any breakthroughs in breathing techniques.

Now, Li Wei possesses a multitude of breathing techniques at the eighth level or above, and his strength is increasing day by day. He lies low, quietly cultivating, avoiding trouble, and keeping an extremely low profile.

It was also on New Year's Day.

A major and exciting event has reached the Jade Kingdom from the Tuva Empire.

The Fist of the Empire has reappeared.

This top-tier powerhouse, an unparalleled war god born from the storm, appeared and struck with lightning speed, killing the empire's ruler who hadn't even warmed his throne yet.

Later, he was hunted down by the Storm Knights of the Storm Church. Relying on his terrifying strength, he killed three Grand Knights. Even after the Storm Archbishop of the Storm Church used the Church's "foundation," he still managed to escape and fled to the outer sea.

The reason he went to the open sea was because of another major event.

Someone found a treasure map left behind by the Golden Knight, Grek.

Golden Knight Grek, one of the legendary knights, was incredibly powerful and left behind countless legendary deeds during his lifetime.

He is incredibly powerful. It is said that the blood flowing through his body is golden, radiating a golden light. He is impervious to swords and spears, indestructible, and immune to water and fire!

This is the famous "Golden Blood"!

Some say that the Golden Knight Grek is a descendant of a powerful alien race, while others say that he is a descendant of a wizard.

There are many different opinions, but what is known is that...

Besides his golden blood, the Golden Knight Grek also possesses powerful swordsmanship, making him a true master swordsman. The Seven Divine Swords of the King are now mere novices in front of the Golden Knight.

The treasure map says that the Golden Knight Grek left his fortune on a deserted island in the open sea.

It is said that in the final years of his life, the Golden Knight Grek, dissatisfied with the rule of the church, spent a fortune building a giant ship and set sail for distant lands, searching for something unknown.

On that voyage, the Golden Knight set sail with his ship full of wealth, along with several of his great knights and servants, carrying everything that belonged to the Golden Knight!

Then, no further news came.

Now, the treasure map has reappeared.

The Golden Knight's mysterious treasure lies on a deserted island in the open sea!

Do you want to acquire the wealth of the Golden Knight, Grek?

Do you want to possess the strongest power, authority, and breathing technique in the world?

Do you want to become a legendary knight?

Let's go to the sea then.

The Golden Knight, Grek, left everything there.

Fueled by this news, the veracity of which was unknown, a grand maritime adventure was launched in the coastal regions of the Tuva Empire.

Even the Fist of the Empire couldn't escape the trend and set sail to search for Grik's treasure.

This craze has now swept into the jade kingdom.

This left Li Wei both amused and exasperated.

"These people really have nothing better to do."

"With the navigation and shipbuilding technology of this era, finding the Golden Knight's treasure location is a pipe dream. Moreover, this news might even be false."

Li Wei, in any case, didn't believe it at all.

He wouldn't participate in this boring activity.

However, he would still occasionally keep an eye on the gossip surrounding the Great Adventure and the movements of the Imperial Fist.

This three-meter-tall hunk left a deep impression on Li Wei.

Li Wei really wanted to have a real, hand-to-hand battle with the Fist of the Empire to test his current strength.

However, it is clear that such a chance is very small.

Li Wei wouldn't go looking for the Fist of the Empire just to have a friendly spar.

"But could the Golden Knight's powerful swordsmanship be my Golden Cross Slash?" Li Wei suddenly thought of a question.

The Golden Cross Slash was taught to Livy by the Serpent Rider.

The Serpent Rider said that if one cultivates to the highest level of the Whirlwind Realm, this is a sword technique comparable to perfect or even legendary quality.

And the Golden Knight, Grek, was a legendary knight.

In Li Wei's view, only a legendary knight could create such powerful swordsmanship.

During this time, Li Wei's training in the Golden Cross Slash did not slacken.

He estimated that he could cultivate the Golden Cross Slash to the sixth level of perfection this year, if he guessed correctly.

The seventh-tier Golden Cross Slash corresponds to the power of rotation.

Of course, this was due to the invention of the Ripple Palm technique.

Li Wei's Golden Cross Slash is now practically defunct.

Calling it "Golden Ripple Palm" would be more fitting.

While keeping an eye on the situation at the Age of Exploration, Li Wei quietly gained experience points in his own territory.

During this time, the mysterious and powerful vampire knight Anderson did not bother him. Instead, he seemed to have become an ordinary old man, settling down in the City of Flowers. Sometimes, when Levi went to the Shining Tavern, he would still run into him.

The other party would also smile kindly at Li Wei.

Li Wei's spider-sensor rarely triggers alarms.

This shows that the old man probably didn't have any malicious intent and had no intention of harming Li Wei.

To be honest, Li Wei was a little tempted.

The other party is a powerful vampire with a long lifespan and friends who are formal wizards. The other party has a strong network of connections. If they could introduce me to them, I might not need the fire paper at all, and I wouldn't need to wait for news from the four major families.

If the other party is willing to speak, I might be able to enter the realm of the faithless.

But the biggest problem lies in the other party's vampire identity.

This has always been a concern for Li Wei.

Amidst this dilemma, Li Wei continued to grind for experience.

The year 1016 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of Blazing Fire.

The flower city was unbearably hot, with waves of heat sweeping through.

After a long period of training, Li Wei mastered the Golden Cross Slash, a powerful sword technique he obtained from the Knight Fred.

I finally reached the sixth-tier limit.

Li Wei——————

Golden Cross Slash: Tier 6 (Limit, Limit Breakable), Special Effects: Advanced Vibration, Advanced Ripple.

……

"I've hit a bottleneck with the Golden Cross Slash. I knew it wouldn't be that easy to break through to the highest level of the Whirlwind Realm," Li Wei thought to himself.

He has been focusing on improving his Golden Cross Slash recently because he has been stuck at level six for a long time and wants to break through to level seven as soon as possible to master the power of rotation.

But as it turns out, the power of rotation is indeed not something that can be easily mastered.

I didn't encounter any bottlenecks from the first to the sixth level; I broke through them on my own as soon as I reached them.

However, to progress from the sixth to the seventh rank, one needs to find a way to break through the bottleneck in order to break through the limits and master the power of rotation.

"But how do we break through this limit?"

Li Wei was worried; now he was just one step away from success.

"Vibration, ripples, swirling."

"According to my previous understanding, vibration generates ripples, and ripples give rise to vortices, which is correct."

"How exactly can I break through?"

Levi left the castle and went to the Shining Tavern, where he listened to the other knights enthusiastically discussing the news of the Golden Knight Greik's treasure.

Now, half a year has passed, and the fervor for the Great Voyage has waned somewhat, with many people getting lost at sea or returning empty-handed.

Based on his analysis, Li Wei speculated that the Golden Cross Slash might be the sword technique of the Golden Knight Greke, so the key to breaking through the power of the whirlwind might lie with the Golden Knight.
