Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 207 Thirteenth-Tier Golden Serpent! Blood Source Knight! (Long chapter, please vote!)

After studying the abilities of the Nine Swords Asura.

Li Wei pondered for a moment and said, "The current Nine Swords Asura Evil Spirit is no longer accurately described as an evil spirit. A more accurate term would be 'Bloodline Dharma Body'."

What is the bloodline Dharma body?

With spiritual power and bloodline power, it gathers a supreme Dharma form that transcends the physical body and spirit.

In Li Wei's view, the concept corresponding to the "Bloodline Dharma Body" is the "Bloodline True Body".

The true body of bloodline is the real body manifested by Livy's various inhuman characteristics.

The Bloodline Dharma Body is an illusory body formed by the condensation of bloodline power and spiritual power.

"The Black Demon Blade has a lofty vision; even a legendary knight could not have created such a heaven-defying technique."

"Who created this technique? It wasn't the Black Knight, and most likely it wasn't the Thousand-Faced Knight Nameless either. Nameless might be at a higher level than the other six knights, but it's impossible for him to have created such a profound technique."

"The creator of this Black Demon Blade had such grand ideas; he was going to create a new path of bloodline avatars beyond knights and wizards. Perhaps even the creator never imagined that someone would actually cultivate this method to the level I have."

Li Wei felt the power growing stronger within him.

Now that the Black Demon Blade is at level six, all that's left is the Golden Serpent at level thirteen.

Moreover, Li Wei now has 80,000 merit points, getting closer and closer to the goal of 100,000, and soon he will be able to buy houses for Leviathan and the others.

This was faster than he had initially anticipated. The merit points he earned for each second-level potion he refined were not much less than those for hunting a first-level monster.

The speed at which pharmacists in the second ring road earn money is indeed extraordinary.

Knowledge and technology are the primary productive forces.

Hunting demons is a miserable experience, nothing beats the comfort of making medicine.

Li Wei is currently a senior second-ring alchemist. To advance to a third-ring alchemist, he must first possess the strength of a third-ring wizard.

Therefore, it is unlikely that Levi's pharmaceuticals will achieve any major breakthroughs in the short term.

The requirements for third-circle medicine making are too high; it's not something a second-circle wizard can forcibly refine.

Just as Levi stepped out the door, he saw his good neighbor, the wizard Will, returning from his demon hunt.

"Lord Li Wei, do you have some free time lately?" the Thousand-Faced Knight asked. In order to fully play this role, he even joined the Demon Hunter Army. After all, renting a place in Stromgarde City is quite expensive, and he also needs to earn some extra money.

"Soon, Lord Will. Once we're done with this busy period, we'll go take a look together. But I hope you won't go back on your word after it's done, since my strength is meager," Li Wei said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I, Will, always believe in fairness. Look at me, a third-ring wizard, when have I ever put on airs with you?" Will said jokingly.

"Indeed, wizards like you are rare indeed. I have some things to attend to, so I'll be going now." Levi waved goodbye to Will.

Will smiled as he watched Levi leave, his expression finally settling into indifference.

"Could this guy have discovered something?" Will wondered to himself.

"Impossible. With my acting skills, I can even fool a fourth-circle wizard. How could he possibly see through it?"

Will shook his head; he had always been confident in his acting skills.

Sometimes, as Will gets into character, he becomes completely absorbed in the role and gradually forgets his identity as an assassin.

He played far too many different roles throughout his assassination career.

That's what it means to be different for every person.

Inside the Pharmacist's Tower.

Levi in ​​Huffman's room.

"Is anyone still following you?" Huffman asked.

"There haven't been any lately. I wonder if the mastermind behind it all has given up. After all, he wouldn't dare to cause trouble in the city," Li Wei said.

Huffman sneered: "Don't be complacent. Knowing Rex as I do, he definitely won't give up. This guy is too arrogant. If he didn't lack the authority to poach people from my department without going through the Tower Master, he might have poached you right in front of me."

"Alas, what an undeserved calamity," Li Wei lamented.

"Don't worry, just focus on making medicine. I'll do my best to protect you. There are still some laws in this City of Rapids," Huffman comforted him.

After expressing his loyalty once more, Li Wei left.

Huffman, meanwhile, looked smugly at the performance reports for this period, calculating how much more Tai Shi he could earn.

Recently, Green has also been preparing to break through to the second level of wizardry. He specifically asked Huffman for leave and devoted himself to this important matter.

In comparison, Li Wei's breakthroughs are much more effortless. As long as he has breakthrough potions, with his talent and proficiency stats, breaking through from the first ring to the second ring is not difficult at all.

However, breaking through from the second ring road to the third ring road is indeed difficult.

Based on Li Wei's current understanding, unless one is a Child of the Elements and has the best breakthrough potion, the success rate can barely reach 80%.

Even with dual-element affinity and the addition of a potion, the success rate is only one-third.

As for the other wizards, needless to say, there are probably only one in ten.

Li Wei isn't very confident about breaking through the Third Ring Road, but fortunately, he's still a long way from it.

So I'm not in a particular hurry; maybe I can create some awesome special effects myself in the future.

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.

Before we knew it, half a year had passed.

Li Wei received a letter from the Loess Continent.

The letter was written by Dinos.

The letter mentioned that Dinos had successfully advanced to the rank of Legendary Knight and called himself the "Golden Lion Knight".

This delighted the old Golden Lion, who was anxious about the war, and Mudi was equally happy for his disciple.

Inside Lion City, there was a festive atmosphere.

Meanwhile, due to the severe losses suffered by the Eshidi family in the last war, the Waum family and the Golden Lion family have gained a rare respite during this period.

Moreover, the two families are now discussing taking the initiative to launch a surprise attack on the Ashidi family and strive to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Li Wei replied in kind, expressing his hope that the Golden Lion Family would return victorious from this battle, and also formally incorporating Dinos Joestar into the Twilight Knights.

The current Twilight Knights are led by the Supreme Knight Li Wei, with the Blood Knight as the vice-leader, and members including the Black Knight, Mu Di, and the Golden Lion Knight.

Five legendary knights—before the resurgence of the demonic tide, they were a force capable of stirring up the world.

Although this power is now as faint as fireflies in the wizarding world, Levi believes that with the breaking of the legendary shackles,

One day, I will be surrounded by knights with resolute faces, confident and composed, who can rival wizards!

Let the fame of the Twilight Temple and the Twilight Knights resound throughout the multiverse!

Unfortunately.

Because of this civil war that has swept through the wizarding world.

The connection between the human world and the wizarding world was completely severed.

Li Wei had not received any letters from the human world for a long time.

I wonder how the Twilight Temple is doing now.

Among the forces in the human world, those that can pose a threat to the Twilight Temple, besides the Church, are none other than the Vampire Clan and Blue Frost.

Blue Frost is in the North, far from Dusk Isle, so it shouldn't have spread to the sea.

Among the vampires, the most threatening force is the Demon Feast Alliance. Of the two major clans, Li Wei has essentially wiped out the remaining forces of the Lesenba family.

Another clan could be a potential threat.

Besides, the Saint of the Star Lord, that mysterious and incredibly powerful girl, also lingered in Li Wei's mind.

"Sigh, I can't worry too much. The Twilight Temple can't always grow under my protection; it also needs to experience trials on its own."

As for the Gray Tower, Mylin and the others don't need Li Wei to worry about them.

Right now, his biggest concern is himself.

After all, he had been targeted by a prominent figure in the city of Rapids.

Although this was a great injustice, that's often how reality is.

Li Wei could only accept his bad luck.

He took advantage of the time before his opponent made a move to work hard to improve his strength.

Holy Radiance Calendar 1045, Wheat Field Month.

The war in the Endless Sea continues, and more and more wizards are displaced, becoming rogue wizards or wandering wizards.

These once high and mighty wizards, like ordinary people, are now adrift like duckweed, going with the tide.

The suffering of mortals living in the wizarding world goes without saying.

The rise and fall of the wizarding world has never had anything to do with these mortals; they are forever the sufferers, existing as appendages and tools of the wizards.

In the Ether Sea war zone, both sides of the Black and White Wizard War have committed more and more troops. Mid-level wizards are frequently seen, and even high-level elemental spirit wizards are often clashing. In some deep-sea prisons, many criminals have also taken advantage of the chaos to escape.

These criminals may include law-abiding citizens who have been wrongly accused, but many more are genuine arsonists, murderers, robbers, and thugs who commit all sorts of heinous crimes.

These locust-like creatures have infiltrated the entire Endless Sea, undoubtedly a disaster for other wizards who want to cultivate peacefully.

This year also marks the tenth anniversary of the Great Expedition.

The Sky City of the five legendary wizards has now entered all five federal war zones.

The old and new wizarding chapters that had been poised for battle in Sky City immediately joined the war.

The Great Expeditionary Era also ushered in a period of total war.

These wizards, who ventured deep into foreign lands and fought alone, are undoubtedly worthy of respect.

If they die on the battlefield, they will remain forever in another dimension, buried in a foreign land.

This is an era that needs heroes, a legendary figure like Sauron, the progenitor of wizards, who can dominate an era, command the respect of countless wizards, and unite the wizarding world.

At this moment, many wizards couldn't help but sigh, "If only Sauron were here."

The war is far from over.

And now, the Wheat Moon is coming to an end.

In the city of Stromgarde, the Thousand-Faced Knight, disguised as the Wizard Will, even made a name for himself among the Witcher Wizards.

Having been awarded numerous honors by the military, Wizard Will unknowingly became completely immersed in the role he was playing.

That year, thanks to the efforts of Levi and Green, Huffman had some spare money and invested in a sizable materials store in the inner sea area, becoming its largest shareholder.

This shrewd little dwarf cleverly used the inside information he had gained through his position to know which potions would sell like hotcakes in Stromgarde next.

He would then have the materials shops stockpile materials at low prices in advance, and then sell them to the military in Stromgarde at high prices when the market was good.

Compared to the business-savvy Huffman, a hoarder like Levi only knows how to save money, watch his cash grow, and be happy every day.

After all, unlike Huffman, who loves making money, Levi's focus has always been on spiritual practice.

Having enough money for cultivation is enough. No matter how much you earn, you can't take it with you when you die. What if a dark wizard steals it from you one day? Wouldn't all your hard work have been for nothing?

Under such a life creed.

At the age of 55, Li Wei finally mastered the Golden Snake Breathing Technique to the late stage of the twelfth level, getting closer and closer to the thirteenth level.

The golden snake scales covering Li Wei's body began to itch, making him unable to resist scratching them.

He felt a sensation similar to the peeling skin on dry hands.

This made him realize that he seemed to be... shedding his skin.

After the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique reached the thirteenth level, the reality was indeed much as Li Wei had imagined.

On this day, Li Wei discovered that his skin, along with the layer of scales, had split open from the middle of his body.

He stood in front of the mirror and gently peeled away the scales.

stab.

It sounded like a stocking being torn.

The scales on Li Wei's surface were torn in two.

He stared silently at the human skin covered in scales that was laid out in his hand.

Then she looked at her own pinkish skin and the slightly soft scales on the surface in the mirror.

"Uh, I've shed my skin..."

Li Wei felt a sense of wonder.

What does it feel like to shed skin?

As a human being, I am qualified to answer this.

These newly formed scales are still very fragile, and Li Wei estimates that it will take some time for them to recover.

After shedding its skin, it will experience a period of weakness.

This was his instinctive intuition.

Once these scales have completely hardened, Li Wei can test the power of this thirteenth-tier golden serpent.

With that in mind, Li Wei opened the proficiency panel.

Li Wei——————

Golden Serpent Breathing Technique: 13th level (1/500000), Special effects: Metamorphosis Scales (Level 1), Dragon's Might, Golden Serpent Playing in Water.

……

First of all, to Li Wei's surprise, the thirteenth-tier golden snake could still continue its cultivation.

It seems that reaching the thirteenth level of cultivation should be no problem. Whether or not I will need to break through the limit at that time is unknown.

[Metamorphosis Scales (Level 1): The golden serpent bloodline power within you has undergone its first metamorphosis, shedding its weak, newly formed scales. From this point on, you begin a long journey of transformation. After each metamorphosis, your scales will become harder, and you will grow increasingly powerful, eventually gaining a foothold in dangerous environments. After each metamorphosis, you will experience a period of weakness. During this time, the intelligent golden serpent will lie dormant in its caves, avoiding predators.]

"So that's how it is. Each transformation is a level, and so on, until it grows into a true golden snake before the transformation ends?" Li Wei wondered to himself.

If Li Wei was just a baby snake hatching from an egg before, he should now be a small snake that has begun to grow.

This will be an incredibly long process, involving many painful transformations.

Unfortunately, Li Wei has no way to test the power of his Golden Serpent Scales, nor does he know if his defense can match that of a third-level defensive spell.

He is now extremely weak, and these soft scales are completely ineffective for defense. Even an attack from a second-ring wizard could break through Li Wei's defenses.

He inspected the array formations in his house and reinforced them in various ways.

During this period of weakness, we must not give the enemy any opportunity to exploit the situation.

He planned to ask Huffman for a leave of absence and would not leave the house until his scales hardened.

In addition to the molting scales, the third special effect was created at the thirteenth level of the Golden Serpent.

"Golden snakes playing in the water".

[Golden Serpent Playing in Water: The golden serpent loves water, being the master of all waters and the king of the ocean. The power of your bloodline grants you a preliminary affinity for the golden serpent's water element. Your speed in practicing water-related spells and meditation will increase, as will the power of your water-related spells and spell-like abilities. This effect cannot be upgraded, but its effect can be slightly enhanced as your breathing techniques advance.]

"As expected, it came." Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

He no longer needs to seek the legacy of the Van Helsing or Duncan families.

Breathing techniques are sufficient.

As a wizard of the Ocean School of the Gray Tower, he has been working on the Ocean School's territory for decades.

Li Wei can now rightfully call himself a qualified genius wizard of the oceanic school.

He tried meditating on the Deep Sea Meditation Method once, and sure enough, the speed of his practice was much faster than before!

"I have finally gathered the affinity of the four elements of earth, fire, wind and water. I just need to wait for the Deep Sea Meditation Method and the Gale Meditation Method to advance to the sixth level, and then see what I can finally fuse together."

Li Wei was excited.

From then on, he was no longer an ordinary child of chaos; he was a rare four-elemental talent.

One day, as the effects of the breathing technique become more and more numerous and better...

Then he is the son of the four elements!

Aside from these two changed special effects.

Li Wei's extraordinary organ, the Golden Serpent's Message, has also undergone some changes, though not significant. It has only slightly increased the range of his aura perception and the speed of his information processing.

The other extraordinary organ comes from the golden horn of the Golden Horned Beast.

That feeling of stagnation and blockage finally disappeared.

It's pretty much confirmed that Li Wei is now.

Its own golden horn likely contains a ray-like, spell-like ability.

When he focused his mind on the golden horn, the golden serpent power within his body was instantly drained, and then the golden horn flashed with light, emanating a terrifying aura of destruction.

However, Li Wei held back.

He did not unleash that terrifying attack.

If I use this unicorn now, the wizard's tower might be breached, which could cause some unnecessary trouble.

Ultimately, he named his golden horn "Horn of Annihilation".

Although it hasn't been tested, the energy contained within it is definitely at the attack level of a third-circle spell.

It possesses the ability to injure or even kill a third-ring wizard.

Of course, this is on the premise that you hit the target.

Moreover, Li Wei currently only has enough golden snake power within him to use this attack once.

If the attack misses, the power of the golden snake will be exhausted in a short time, and the defense of the golden snake scales will also be affected.

Therefore, this is an absolute killer move.

If you don't make a move, you won't make a mistake; if you do, you'll hit the mark!

After reaching the thirteenth level of the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique, Li Wei gained some confidence.

Once his golden snake scales have fully hardened.

He believed that his current strength, even if it couldn't compare to the third ring, wouldn't be too far off; he was at least capable of putting up a fight.

That wizard Will on the other side shouldn't pose much of a threat to my life anymore.

Of course, he still cannot let his guard down and must be careful.

"Now that the Golden Serpent has reached the thirteenth level, it can be considered that we have entered a new stage, and we should adopt a new name for this realm."

"After the thirteenth stage, there is the bloodline transformation stage from juvenile to adult, which can be simply called blood molting... well, that doesn't sound very good. How about blood transformation? No, that's a bit too hasty."

After much thought, Li Wei decided that it would be better to choose a simple, ordinary name.

"Let's call him Blood Knight, whose bloodline traces back to its ancestral source and ultimately advances to the Primal Realm."

Li Wei finally settled on the name of the new realm.

Taking the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique as an example, the first level of the Metamorphosis Scale is the realm of Blood Source Transformation.

Then, it undergoes a second transformation, the second-level transformation scale, which is the second transformation realm of blood source.

And so on, until the arrival of the next great realm.

"I'll continue to lie low for a while longer, and test the snake scales' defense once my transformation is complete. As for Will, I'll stall for time and not make a move until he gets impatient." Levi already had a plan in mind.

In the days that followed, he asked Huffman for two months off. During these two months, he waited for the scales to harden while improving his wizarding skills.

A month later, Li Wei's scales had hardened completely.

At the same time, his power runes were also upgraded to level three.

Li Wei——————

Power Rune: Tier 3 (1/10000), Special Effect: Horned Ox Constellation Power (Tier 3)

……

[Horned Bull Constellation Power (Tier 3): Runeword connects you to the Horned Bull constellation, amplifying your power with stellar energy. Current power amplification is 20%]

After reaching level three, Li Wei also upgraded the solidified power runes on the Tyrant's body.

This greatly enhanced the tyrant's power once again.

Having no other targets for combat, he could only continue to let the tyrant attack him.

The current Tyrant possesses a level 3 Power Rune, and with a full-force attack, he is capable of breaking through the defenses of most second-ring wizards.

The giant axe struck Livy's chest, which was covered in shimmering dark gold scales.

duang!

The tyrant's giant axe trembled, and even developed a chip.

In contrast, Li Wei was merely thrown back by the force of the impact and crashed into the wall of the training room.

The scales themselves only have some fine cracks and are not damaged.

Then, in the blink of an eye, these cracks were completely healed.

"Not enough, the tyrant's attack is not enough, it can't test my limits!" With a fierce determination, Li Wei used Frostmourne combined with the power of Ashes to slash at his other arm.

He could only test his limits through self-harm.

Click.

For the first time, the power of annihilation encountered a formidable opponent.

The powerful scales stubbornly resisted the power of annihilation. In the end, the scales cracked layer by layer and then emerged again. Although one layer of scales could not provide enough defense, with Li Wei's Golden Serpent Power, he could instantly cover the second layer of scales when the first layer broke.

Thus, even Li Wei's all-out Ash Cross Slash failed to shatter his scales.

"I can't even break through my own defenses. With my current attack power, even if I'm not as good as a third-circle wizard, I'm not far off. So, my scales can be considered to have the defensive power of a third-circle spell, which is about C-level defense."

Li Wei was analyzing the situation internally.

He gazed at the power runes on the tyrant's body, and a thought struck him.

"Right now, I can try to solidify my power runes."

In an instant, the power runes on the tyrant's body slowly floated up and then disappeared into Li Wei's body.

At the same time, the power runes representing the power of the Horned Ox constellation flickered on Li Wei's arms.

Feeling his power expand significantly, Li Wei was overjoyed.

"Now it seems that runewords can be solidified into the physical body, just like those passive defensive spells."

Li Wei was already a twelfth-tier Crimson Lotus, and with the amplification from the power runes, his normal strength increased significantly.

Furthermore, if the five forms of Crimson Lotus, Giant Whale, Night, Vajra, and Nine Swords are added, Li Wei's power will reach an extremely terrifying level.

"Breaking through a normal three-ring defensive force field shouldn't be a problem."

The wound on Li Wei's arm healed quickly, and in no time, it was completely healed.

He dripped his blood into the Lorraine Crystal.

[10% Unknown Dragon Bloodline... 99% Human Bloodline]

"The Golden Serpent bloodline has reached 10%. It seems that the 13th rank starts at 10%."

"How did my human bloodline decline so much...?"

"Never mind, let it drop. It's already at 99%, there's still a lot of room for it to drop further. I'm still human."

Li Wei had become completely oblivious to the dangers of such a situation.

He stepped out of his house, breathed in the fresh air, and felt the bustling atmosphere of the city.

My friendly neighbor, Wizard Will, is not home today; he's gone to participate in a demon-hunting operation.

"I took a month off and missed out on a lot of merit points. I need to make up for it now."

Levi went to Huffman's side and received the next medicine-making task.

Then I learned that Green had also advanced to the second ring.

"Congratulations, Mr. Green," Levi said sincerely.

"Haha, finally on the second ring road! I'm no longer at the bottom!" Green laughed.

Li Wei and Green celebrated again at Li Wei's house. This time, Green treated everyone and ordered several proper strippers, one of whom was a furry tribe dancer with rabbit ears and other ethnicities.

Li Wei wasn't a Fury fan, but out of curiosity about the rabbit-eared girl, he still inquired about her and learned that this furry dancer was also a visitor from another multiverse. She had been brought back as a slave by the wizards and later ended up in Stromgarde.

Li Wei also learned that there were still many Mink slaves for sale in the underground black market of the lower city of Stromgarde.

Unlike elves, the Mink Tribe are ordinary, short-lived races with only some simple spell-like abilities and average wizarding talent.

However, the Mink Tribe is naturally strong and skilled in physical combat and fighting techniques. They are born masters of melee combat and have extraordinary physical talents.

This made Li Wei somewhat interested.

He wanted to buy some Mink slaves and then try to do some experiments.

If this experiment succeeds, he might be able to mass-produce legendary knights.

Li Wei, who had been practicing alone for decades, also felt tired.

He found that he had to do many things himself, which was a waste of his energy and time.

Therefore, he wanted to start cultivating his own power in the Wizarding World and establish the main hall of the Twilight Temple in the Wizarding World.

The twilight temple in the human world serves as a branch temple.

These fur-bearing slaves could be easily brought under our control through slave contracts.

After Green and the others left, the furry rabbit-eared girl also left.

She now works at a bar in the downtown area, where her daily work involves performing and, incidentally, selling her body...

Believe it or not, there are quite a few furry lovers among wizards. They can do anything, not just to the furry tribe, but also to the burly, scaly sea creatures.

After finding out the location of the slave black market, Li Wei took advantage of the relatively safe time while Wizard Will was out hunting demons to come to the lower city.

Compared to the central district, the lower district is much more chaotic.

Although Stromgarde has sheriffs to maintain order, they mainly maintain order in the upper district, since those living there are all wealthy and powerful figures in Stromgarde.

The central district is a bit better; quite a few wizards from the second or even third ring road live here.

The lower city is basically inhabited by first-ring wizards and wizard apprentices who have no background or power, and it is also mixed with many ordinary people.

Not long after, Li Wei arrived at the slave black market in the lower city.

It is said that this black market is run by a big shot in the upper district, who is at the fourth ring level, so no one has ever bothered to manage it.

In theory, the slave trade is illegal because it is uncivilized and damages the image of wizarding civilization in multiple dimensions.

In fact, the underground slave trade has always been thriving in the wizarding world.

Inside this black market for slaves, Li Wei saw many different kinds of slaves living in cramped iron cells.

Of these slaves, the majority were human, with a small number of other races as well.

Upon seeing Li Wei's arrival, a first-ring wizard immediately ran over enthusiastically.

"Greetings, sir. I am the owner of this place, the sorcerer Sadah. What type do you want? Just tell me."

Second-circle wizards are not uncommon in Stromgarde, and Sadar has seen many of them. Their black market even has a powerful third-circle wizard, though he doesn't usually show his face.

However, Sadar's professionalism made him very enthusiastic even when facing a first-ring wizard.

"I heard you sell animal skin slaves here?" Li Wei asked directly.

"That's right, we provide animal skin slaves here, and we can even help you obtain legal status for your slaves free of charge, so you can use them with peace of mind," Sada said with a smile.

"Oh? May I take a look at the goods first? I want the furs," Levi asked.

"The Mink Tribe... Hehe, I understand. Please follow me, sir." Sada's eyes were playful. Mink slaves were in high demand and were a favorite of many male witches.

He led Li Wei to the basement level.

Here, Li Wei saw rows of transparent rooms, each containing a Mink slave.

Among these slaves, the fur-bearing girls with shapely figures, naked bodies, curvaceous figures, and cat or rabbit ears stood out and commanded the highest prices.

Li Wei's gaze swept directly over the beautiful women and landed on the burly, muscular fur-bearing men in the corner, who were ignored by everyone.

He came to find a knight in the making.
