Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 151 Holy Dragon Envoy, Favored One of the Night (6000 words, please subscribe)

The gray tower has nine stories.

Li Wei stared quietly at the letter.

The letter was written by Andrew, and it described the current state of the territory.

Everything is fine in the territory now, nothing has happened, except for occasional minor frictions with the neighbors around the territory, which are all resolved "peacefully" in secret, and the blame is always placed on "The Voice of the Dead Bird".

Then, in the letter, he also told Li Wei about some important human events.

The great voyage in search of the treasure of the Golden Knight Grik has ended, and so far, no one has found anything. Rumors are circulating that the treasure has been obtained by Mu, the Fist of the Empire.

Meanwhile, with the help of the church, Elsa, the daughter of God and the Snow Queen, became a legendary knight.

If we exclude the old man Anderson Knight who has undergone a complete makeover, she is currently the only living legend still in existence.

Far from the Emerald Kingdom lies the Eastern Empire, spanning the entire continent.

The Dragon God Church claims that the world is corrupt, rife with sin, and that a great calamity is imminent.

But the Pope received instructions from the supreme King of Dragons that a "Holy Dragon Messenger" had been born in the mortal world. He would spread the King of Dragons' glory to every dark place and protect billions of dragon gods' children!

Subsequently, many churches also declared that their saints were about to descend, urging the inhabitants of their kingdoms not to panic.

In Li Wei's view, whether it's true or false, the gods of the astral plane seem to be starting to get restless.

The moment of the planes converging is drawing ever closer, and the first wave of the demonic tide has already touched the interests of the Seven Gods.

Before the even more turbulent and powerful waves of the future arrive, the gods must do something.

However, all of this had nothing to do with Li Wei, who was hiding in the Gray Tower.

The wizarding world remained as peaceful as ever.

Since the gods do not welcome wizards in the human world, the wizards will pursue their own truth and path in their own little world.

Li Wei pushed the Night Owl Breathing Technique to its limit.

Li Wei————

Night Owl Breathing Technique: Level 6 (Limit), Special Effects: Advanced Hearing, Favored by the Night.

……

After Li Wei pushed the Night Owl Breathing Technique to its limit, in addition to the expected advanced auditory effects, an extra special effect appeared.

This Night Owl Breathing Technique is a breathing technique with dual special effects.

Sound is produced by the vibration of objects. That advanced hearing is basically similar to Li Wei's previous advanced vibration perception, but it is also slightly different.

[Advanced Hearing: Your hearing is extraordinary; you can hear the wind rustling, grass moving, leaves falling, and insects chirping from a kilometer away.]

Higher hearing has a wider range of perception, but it is limited to the perception of the ears.

While the range of the human-faced spider's advanced vibration perception is very small, Li Wei can perceive it using any part of his body, such as his skin and hair, and the depth of his perception is much greater.

In general, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Besides the advanced auditory effects, another special effect is quite interesting.

[Night's Favorite: Starting at dusk, your physical and mental state will gradually increase from its original level, reaching its peak at midnight, where your condition will be one-tenth better than during the day. This state will then begin to decline until dawn, when your condition returns to normal. This effect cannot be upgraded, but its effectiveness will slightly increase with your cultivation level.]

This special effect is somewhat similar to the vampire's ability to gain a power boost on the night of a full moon; the owl itself is a legendary bird that appears at night.

In areas where night and day are normally distinct.

At night, Li Wei's overall condition will be significantly improved, and in terms of the improvement effect, it is equivalent to a low-end version of Crimson Blood.

However, this special effect is passive, persistent, and long-term.

The blood of the Crimson Lotus is active, short-lived, and has a period of weakness.

"On a dark and windy night, when murder and arson are committed, this special effect is the most powerful special effect prepared for assassination."

Li Wei muttered to himself.

All breathing techniques focused on perception seem to have two initial special effects.

Moreover, the special effects are incredibly practical and powerful.

Spider-Sense of the Spider-Faced Spider Breathing Technique, Night Owl Breathing Technique of the Night's Favorite.

"However, I'm currently living a pretty good life in the Gray Tower, and I don't need to assassinate anyone, so this special effect doesn't seem to have any use for me for the time being."

Adhering to the principle that unofficial wizards do not leave their homes, Li Wei focused on his cultivation in the Gray Tower.

During the Wheat Field Moon, the Tower Master also emerged from seclusion.

He has been working on repairing his body for the past period of time.

According to Teacher Merlin, the Tower Master is researching a new alchemical prosthetic body for himself. If this alchemical prosthetic body can be successfully refined, the Tower Master's strength will reach a new level, truly reaching the level of a third-circle wizard.

And the part of this alchemical prosthetic body is... the heart.

"The heart? Are we going to throw away the human heart? Although theoretically, as long as the brain is human, it seems there shouldn't be any problem, but this is too extreme." Li Wei was a little puzzled.

Since embarking on the alchemy school, the Tower Master has gradually abandoned his physical body, replacing it with alchemical prosthetics.

His strength is improving faster and faster, but the price he pays is becoming less and less like a human being.

Teacher Mai Lin had advised the tower owner many times on this matter, but the tower owner still went his own way.

He seemed to be under immense pressure, forcing him to constantly modify his body in this extreme way to rapidly increase his strength.

No one knows the reason, but Teacher Mai Lin guessed that it might be related to the tower owner's deceased lover.

According to her, when she went to see the tower master once, she inadvertently saw him holding the head of his deceased lover and talking to him.

The head was soaked in a special preservative solution by the tower master.

Therefore, she felt that the tower master might want to use alchemy from the alchemical school to resurrect his lover.

However, the alchemy school does not possess this technology to date.

In reality, alchemists rarely alter their own physical bodies.

That might lead to a rapid increase in strength initially, but it essentially sacrifices the possibility of further growth later on.

Moreover, this alchemical transformation seems to continuously strip away a person's human emotions and desires, ultimately turning them into emotionless "alchemical puppets."

Alchemy golems are still good. Some alchemy wizards, in the process of constantly modifying themselves, eventually became corrupted by alchemy cybernetic bodies because their mental strength and willpower were not strong enough, and turned into so-called "metal madmen", which are similar to knight madmen.

Ms. Mai Lin has been worried about this.

But once the tower master has made up his mind to do something, no one can change it.

"I never expected that the tower owner would be an idealist who believes in love."

Upon learning this, Li Wei couldn't help but sigh.

This reminded him of Noz, whom he had strangled to death.

Although the other party was a damned mole, judging from their behavior before their death, they genuinely liked Winnie. Of course, the final outcome was the predictable demise of a simp.

"Indeed, love is a weakness."

Single guy Li Wei has found yet another reason to stay single.

However, the tower master's condition also made him somewhat worried.

"I hope the Tower Master succeeds. It's not easy to find such a good leader."

He sighed.

After the Tower Master taught the Undead Ship a heavy lesson last year, the Undead Ship has been quite peaceful lately.

Recently, there have been very few reports of ghost ships causing trouble in this area.

Regardless of whether there are undercurrents surging beneath the surface, at least on the surface, this sea area is calm and peaceful.

This year's practical assessment was still held in Silent Bay, and Marco was still leading the team. Li Wei once again finished in first place.

Since that battle, all the apprentices in the Gray Tower have been overshadowed by this freak, Li Wei. No matter what kind of assessment it is, Li Wei always excels.

Ultimately, Li Wei, as a mid-level wizard apprentice, gained the right to reside on the twentieth floor and beyond of the Grey Tower, and he was allowed to live in Noz's house.

However, Li Wei did not go; he still preferred the ninth floor.

Now, because of Li Wei's strength and his status as a high-level medicine apprentice, Li Wei has become the fifth person in the Gray Tower besides the Tower Master and the three formal wizards.

Legendary knight Levi gradually gained some fame among the younger generation of wizarding organizations in this sea area.

Although quite a few knights entered the wizarding world over a long period of time, there were also many great knights.

However, legendary knights are few and far between.

Li Wei was helpless. "I'm not a legendary knight yet!"

Please stop talking nonsense!

It's one thing for you to spread rumors about me, the legendary knight, inside the tower, but you also spread them outside, making everyone in this entire sea area know that a legendary knight has appeared in the Gray Tower.

If a real legendary knight heard this and came to visit, only to find out I was just a fake legendary knight, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

This feeling is similar to when I was a child and my parents wanted the whole neighborhood to know if I got a good grade.

Li Wei's soles are so embarrassingly large you could dig out a three-bedroom apartment from them.

Therefore, in order to avoid being recognized by knowledgeable people as a fake legendary knight, Li Wei's goal during this period was very clear.

That is to quickly raise the Black Serpent to level eleven and become a true legendary knight!

However, in general, Li Wei can only be said to have some fame in some small groups, and is far from being a figure who can stir up the storm in this sea area.

On the contrary, Gagliard, this dual-elemental genius, set the fastest record in nearly a century for a commoner to become a mid-level wizard apprentice on Whale Song Island.

In this sea area, a dual-element genius is already at the top.

The Child of the Elements hasn't appeared in a long time.

Therefore, Gagliard's fame among the younger generation surpasses that of the legendary knight Livy.

After all, this is the wizarding world, and people value the talents of wizards more than those of knights.

Wizards believe that becoming a legendary knight is the pinnacle of knighthood, with no further potential to be unlocked. However, geniuses like Gagret may still have the potential to become intermediate-level wizards in the future.

At that time, Whale Song Island's dominant position will be even more unshakeable.

Li Wei naturally didn't care about these comments from the outside world.

He just needs to quietly do his own thing.

At the end of the year 1019 in the Holy Radiance calendar.

Li Wei had already trained his Phoenix Breathing Technique to the fifth level without any secret medicine.

If he had the secret medicine, he felt he could at least reach level seven.

This is the difference between having the secret medicine and not having it.

After reaching the fifth rank, without secret medicine, even with Li Wei's proficiency panel, the speed at which he could improve the Phoenix Breathing Technique slowed down considerably.

Li Wei wasn't in a hurry and continued working on it methodically.

Meanwhile, he kept consulting information and monster encyclopedias, trying to see which extraordinary creatures possessed the legendary "phoenix bloodline".

Besides breathing techniques, he also made rapid progress in the magic tricks he had previously learned.

During the month of the North Wind.

I've maxed out the Water Arrow technique to level three.

The third-tier Water Arrow technique is quite powerful.

It can pierce through thick stone slabs; even the Dragon King Whale Leviathan would be badly hurt if it took an arrow to its head.

Even the seemingly simplest water arrow technique, when pushed to its limit, can be quite powerful.

In fact, many advanced wizard apprentices in the Gray Tower haven't even managed to get the Water Arrow spell to level three.

Wither Ray and Tidal Grip are also at Tier 3, but these two tricks are quite complex, and Tier 3 is not the limit. Li Wei can continue to grind for them.

The withering ray, in particular, becomes much more powerful after reaching the third rank.

Li Wei once tested this technique on a sea beast, and with a single blow, he severely injured the "Scorpion-tailed Turtle," a sea beast renowned for its powerful physique and defense. It's worth noting that for ordinary high-ranking apprentices of the marine school, breaking through the shell of a Scorpion-tailed Turtle is no easy feat.

The third-tier withering ray has become Li Wei's strongest magical attack.

This situation was not broken until the Winter Moon, after the Flame Flow Seal reached its fifth-order limit.

I just finished writing today's 6000-word chapter. No extra chapters today, 11000 words still owed.

Tomorrow's update may still be later than noon.
