Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 6 The Power of [Vibration] [Ripples] [Swirls] (Please continue reading)

Li Wei shook his head: "No rush. The roads are blocked by heavy snow, and we don't know if this is a trap set by the Wild Boar Gang. Old Toby is a valuable asset to the Wild Boar Rider, but he's not the kind of person who's loyal. To save his life, he'll definitely obey the Wild Boar Rider and do his bidding. So his life shouldn't be in danger for the time being. Let's send someone to appease young Toby first. In the meantime, send someone to gather intelligence on the Wild Boar Gang, and then we'll make further plans."

"Ha, since my father passed away, all sorts of nobodies and scoundrels have tried to trample on our Black Snake family. It's really a headache."

"Lord Fred, you may step back and rest. Tomorrow, teach me the real swordsmanship, and I'll also have the chance to try out the fine sword that the little blacksmith Milan forged."

Li Wei held his forehead, and in the dim candlelight, his pupils radiated a captivating majesty—not the majesty of a noble lord, but a kind of pressure that transcended the mundane, seemingly emanating from a legendary creature from a distant, legendary era.

The way Sir Fred looked at Levi gave him the strange feeling of being stared at by a terrifying beast.

He gazed at the oil painting hanging behind Li Wei, in which a black snake, encircling the entire castle, held a bright candle in its mouth, mysterious and solemn, with fierce eyes.

"It seems the young master has quite a bit of talent. With this kind of aura, his breathing technique must have made some breakthroughs." Fred muttered to himself, somewhat shocked. In Li Wei's eyes, he saw some of the glory of the Black Serpent Knight back then.

He remembered that after Baron Black Serpent had initially mastered the breathing technique, it took him three months to reach the level of a swordsman attendant, then a year to reach the level of a quasi-knight, two years to reach the level of a knight, and eight years to reach the level of a grand knight.

The young master has only been learning the breathing technique for two months. It took him half a month just to get a basic grasp of it. His talent is not particularly outstanding, but unexpectedly, he is cultivating faster and faster, showing a trend of catching up with others.

Fred couldn't figure it out either, and in the end he could only attribute it to the young master's hard work. He had seen Li Wei's efforts over the past two months and truly admired them. Not to mention nobles, even commoners rarely worked this hard.

"Young master, a knight's training requires a balance of tension and relaxation. Don't put too much pressure on yourself." After he finished speaking, he slowly retreated and disappeared into the shadows.

Li Wei touched the longsword, looked at the proficiency panel in his mind, and sighed inwardly.

"I just want to cultivate in obscurity, be a self-sufficient little lord, and live a peaceful life. But without strength, all of this is just wishful thinking."

……

It was four o'clock in the morning on the second day of the new year, during the long night, and the sky was still dark.

Within the Blackwater Valley territory, both residents and soldiers were immersed in their dreams.

On the training ground, Li Wei donned his heavy armor and held "Frostmourne" in his hand. This was the name he had given to his newly acquired knight's sword, to commemorate the world he could never return to.

Knight Fred drew his longsword "Dawnbreaker" and said, "The sword technique I will teach you today is one that I obtained by chance when I was traveling through the kingdom in my early years. This sword technique has no name, so I call it [Golden Cross Slash]."

"The Golden Cross Slash is essentially a technique that uses an extremely profound and exquisite method of exerting force to unleash a cross-shaped slash with power beyond your imagination. It can be used not only with swords, but also with heavy hammers, knives, spears, or even pitchforks. If your understanding of the technique is high enough, you can master it and use it effectively."

"The Golden Cross Slash has three levels: the Vibrating Cross Slash, the Ripple Cross Slash, and the Spinning Cross Slash. The higher the level, the more difficult it is to comprehend."

"This involves three power generation techniques: the simplest is vibrational power, then the more advanced ripple power, and finally the ultimate vortex power!"

"I have been practicing this sword technique for over twenty years, and so far, I have only fully mastered the power of the ripples. However, its power is already comparable to the best exquisite sword techniques. Therefore, the quality of this sword technique depends entirely on the user's level of comprehension. If you are of average talent and can only comprehend the Vibrating Cross Sword, then it is a relatively good, rudimentary sword technique. But if you are exceptionally talented and comprehend the supreme Spinning Cross Slash, then it will be a perfect, or even legendary, sword technique."

After Sir Fred finished speaking, Levi couldn't help but smile wryly, "Even you've only grasped the Ripple stage. So, besides the creator, is there really anyone who can cultivate this sword technique to the highest level of Revolve?"

Knight Fred smiled slightly. "Young master, don't be discouraged. As long as you comprehend the second stage and master the Ripple Cross Slash, that's enough. Your father only mastered the power of Ripple back then, and among the Great Knights, his strength was already at the top level."

Li Wei nodded. Of course, he wouldn't be discouraged. With the proficiency panel, he would eventually be able to grind this sword technique to the highest level.

Then, Knight Fred held Dawnbreaker in his hand, and he exuded a powerful aura. His whole body vibrated in an almost phantom-like way, and then this vibration was transmitted to the knight's longsword.

hum!

hum!

hum!

The longsword itself emitted a clear, resonant hum!

The sword light of the Dawnbreaker Sword split in two, forming a violently vibrating cross-shaped slash!

Click!

The black dragon stake, as thick as a bowl and comparable to a boulder, before the Knight Fred was split into four.

Then he sheathed his sword in one swift motion.

Li Wei was shocked. Although the black dragon wood was not as hard as steel, the knight's sword made with the forging technology of this world was impossible for an ordinary person to cut through.

The Knight Fred can achieve this by transmitting a special vibrational force to his knight's sword.

This is the power of a knight, this is the power of swordsmanship!

That's incredible!

Li Wei yearned for this; this is what I pursue.

A slight hint of smugness appeared on Sir Fred's old face; he had only used thirty percent of his strength.

If he were to go all out and use the power of the Ripple, with the knight's sword in his hand, he could even cut through the knight's plate armor!

However, that would be too damaging to the knight's sword; it would be a wasteful act. The shockwave power is already sufficient to deal with most enemies.

"This is the technique for generating power. You may not have understood it, so let me demonstrate it for you again."

Knight Fred knew that even a sword genius would find it difficult to grasp the basic techniques of the Golden Cross Slash on their first encounter.

Li Wei nodded. It was too fast; he hadn't seen it clearly at all.

Not to mention it appeared on the proficiency panel.

The proficiency panel can only allow him to gradually gain experience once he has a basic grasp of the material; it cannot turn him into a genius who can learn anything instantly.

After demonstrating it to Li Wei countless times, Li Wei gradually understood the basic techniques for generating force.

He then began to try wielding the sword himself.

Practicing swordsmanship is a process of constant repetition, learning, making mistakes, and gaining insights.

If the technique of exerting force is even slightly off, it will be impossible to generate that so-called vibrational force.

Sir Frederick patiently taught Levi again and again.

Li Wei hasn't had time to practice his breathing techniques these past few days, focusing entirely on sword practice, at least until he's at least begun to master them and they appear on his proficiency panel.

Based on his mediocre talent in breathing techniques, Li Wei was prepared for long-term training.

On the third day, Li Wei was practicing his sword as usual when he suddenly felt a faint, rhythmic vibration emanating from Frostmourne in his hand, like a person's breathing.

His face lit up with joy; he had sensed it.

"Vibrational power! Although it's very weak, it is indeed vibrational power. I've mastered it."

New skills have appeared on the proficiency panel.
