Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 68 Ultimate Forging, Special Effects [A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship]. (Please continue reading)

This retaliation against the Deathbird Voice organization was so satisfying.

After being assassinated three times by this organization, Li Wei finally got his revenge.

The enemy lost three formal knight-level assassin mentors and a large number of the organization's future talents. They also robbed the gold coins in their stronghold. Even for a large organization, this was a huge loss.

Through this battle, Li Wei gained a preliminary understanding of his own strength.

Three low-ranking knights and so many assassin apprentices were utterly powerless against Li Wei. Such a feat is something that ordinary high-ranking knights would find hard to achieve.

……

Back in Blackwater Valley, Li Wei stored all the thousand gold coins he had looted in his shelter, and then opened the newly acquired Breathing Technique inheritance diagram.

In the scene, a fat, yellowish-brown worm covered in barbs emerges from a swamp vortex in a vast swamp, like a ferocious giant pillar piercing the sky, looking down on the swamp. Surrounding the worm are tiny figures with strange and distorted postures and movements.

This is a legendary, terrifying worm-like monster that lives in swamps. It is said that every time it appears, it can devour countless living beings in the surrounding area.

Li Wei counted them; there were a total of thirty-six different little figure patterns on the inheritance chart.

"How come there are only thirty-six types? That's only one more than the human-faced spider breathing technique."

Li Wei muttered to himself.

According to the pattern he had previously discovered, the more figures on the breathing technique transmission diagram, the higher the quality of the breathing technique.

"Could this not be a high-quality breathing technique? Is the creator of this breathing technique's lineage diagram lying?"

"Or are the thirty-six patterns the dividing line between the basic and the excellent levels?"

The Black Serpent Breathing Technique, also considered an excellent breathing technique, features a total of seventy-one different human figures.

Li Wei was completely baffled; this question required further verification using more breathing techniques.

He has already posted a commission at the Shining Tavern, and should be able to obtain more Breathing Techniques soon.

"Never mind, I'll focus on my cultivation first."

Li Wei did not rest and began to study the inheritance diagram.

The Vortex Beast Breathing Technique is a breathing technique that focuses on cultivating exceptional physical strength.

Training can make a knight's physique even more extraordinary than that of ordinary people.

This constitution mainly focuses on the body's resistance, immunity, and self-healing ability.

The specific effects will only be known after Li Xiuwei goes through the process.

In the blink of an eye, the winter month has passed.

The year 1008 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Primordial Month, the New Year.

A festive and peaceful atmosphere pervaded Blackwater Valley.

Knight Fred's body has recovered a lot and he can now move around like a normal person, but he still can't do strenuous exercise.

Fortunately, the soldiers under Li Wei's command were almost fully trained. The basic swordsmanship taught by Sir Fred had been mastered by most of them, though the degree of mastery varied.

According to the standards measured by Li Wei's proficiency panel.

Basic swordsmanship can be divided into three levels: Level 1 is beginner, Level 2 is proficient, and Level 3 is the ultimate.

Of all the soldiers under his command, only Captain Sam, the once cowardly young man, has truly grown into a man and is Fred's successor, having reached the pinnacle of his training.

The others are basically at the first or second level.

This is actually the true level of ordinary people.

Li Wei's speed far exceeds that of ordinary people because he has a proficiency panel, which ensures that his efforts will be rewarded.

Overall, this team of fifty people has begun to take shape.

The Crimson Blood Warhorse is ready, and the next step is to conduct targeted mounted combat training.

Meanwhile, the forging of the full armor for the horse was proceeding in an orderly manner.

After equipping his army with cavalry armor, Li Wei devoted himself entirely to forging horse armor, aside from his daily breathing exercises. His forging skills improved rapidly, changing every single day.

As for the deal with the Boar Rider, Li Wei is just going through the motions these days.

After all, he now had money, and weapons and equipment should be prioritized for his own territory. Only after ensuring that he had at least a fully armed cavalry force of fifty men could he discuss the deal with the boar riders.

Because of the special effect [Swift as the Wind], Li Wei's forging efficiency was exceptionally high. In addition, the blacksmith apprentices in the territory had already completed other preparatory work for him ahead of schedule. He only needed to complete the final and most technically demanding forging work.

Therefore, not long after the arrival of the Month of Life, the last of the fifty sets of full armor was also successfully completed under Li Wei's sweat and toil in the forging process.

[Forging: Tier 4 (19912) → Tier 5 (Limit)]

[Special effects "Definitely top-notch" → "Masterpiece of craftsmanship"]

With the notification sound from the proficiency panel, Li Wei knew.

I pushed this life skill to its limit.

"So, the fifth rank is already the limit."

"Now I should be able to call myself a master craftsman."

Looking at the proficiency panel, Li Wei realized that he had unknowingly reached the same level of forging as the legendary craftsman "Fire Hammer" Hagrid Amon.

"After all, it's a life skill. There's a proficiency panel, and there's really only one limit."

Li Wei opened the proficiency panel.

Li Wei —

Forging: Tier 5 (Limit), Special Effect: Masterpiece, Swift as the Wind.

[Masterpiece: Every piece you forge represents the pinnacle of current material capabilities]

"The previous must-have masterpieces have been replaced by works of art."

"The two special effects of max-level forging, one representing quality and the other representing efficiency, complement each other perfectly."

Li Wei was overjoyed and stretched.

"Phew, I can finally relax a bit more, one less subject to work on. I feel so much lighter now."

Each time Li Wei pushes a skill to its limit, he feels a sense of accomplishment and relief.

Just like unlocking milestones in a game, only achievement hunters can truly understand this feeling.

However, Li Wei hadn't enjoyed the sense of liberation from forging to the limit for too long. A few days later, after comprehending and practicing the Vortex Beast Breathing Technique, the newly acquired excellent quality breathing technique on his proficiency panel had also reached the first level of entry.

Li Wei————

Vortex Beast Breathing Technique: Level 1 (1/1000)

"Well, here comes another one. This is truly a happy problem."

Li Wei smiled and said that after more than a month, he had finally mastered the Bloodline Breathing Technique, even faster than he had mastered the Frost Wolf Breathing Technique before.

This also confirms Li Wei's initial idea: as he mastered more and more breathing techniques to their limits, his speed of learning and practicing breathing techniques also increased.

After practicing so many breathing techniques, Li Wei was extremely familiar with them.
