Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 7 [Lord of the Wilderness] and [Brotherhood of the Wilderness] (Please continue reading)

Levi-Schneider ———

Black Serpent Breathing Technique: Level 2 (5/5000)

Golden Cross Slash: Tier 1 (1/1000), Special Effect: Basic Vibration

……

After three days, I finally mastered the Golden Cross Slash.

However, Li Wei looked at the special effects section that had been added to the panel.

"Special effects?"

This was the first time Li Wei had encountered such a situation.

Clearly, the primary vibration refers to the "vibration power" mentioned by Knight Fred, which is the most powerful aspect of the Golden Cross Slash.

An extremely ingenious technique of applying force causes the knight's sword to vibrate at high speed, thus achieving the effect of cutting through iron like mud.

"This also shows that this Golden Cross Slash is really high-level. It has special effects even at only the first level. You should know that even the second-level Black Serpent Breathing Technique does not have special effects."

Li Wei was shocked, wondering where the Knight Fred had learned such incredible swordsmanship.

He now strongly suspects that the person who created this genius-level sword technique was at least a great knight, or even a legendary knight!

Having learned the sword skills, Li Wei was very satisfied and couldn't wait to grind to the limit.

He struck while the iron was hot and practiced the Golden Cross Slash several more times.

He has only just begun to grasp the method of generating vibrational power, and can only generate very weak vibrational power. Moreover, it requires a long time to accumulate momentum. In actual combat, he would have been killed before he could even unleash the vibrational power.

Therefore, you still need to practice more.

[Golden Cross Slash Proficiency +3]

[Golden Cross Slash Proficiency +2]

[......]

Perhaps because I've only just mastered it, there's a lot of room for improvement in the Cross Slash.

Each time Li Wei practices, he can increase his proficiency by at least 2 points.

Li Wei only stopped when he got hungry.

After resting for a while and eating something, I ran into Sir Fred, who had just returned from training the militia.

"Young Master has mastered the power of vibration?" Sir Fred asked, seeing Levi's happy expression.

Li Wei nodded. It wasn't too difficult to grasp the initial power of vibration in three days; it was decent. However, the difference between initial grasp and peak perfection was enormous. Li Wei had only just begun. Moreover, Li Wei had a foundation in swordsmanship; he was a man who had maxed out his basic swordsmanship.

Vibration power is just the most basic technique for generating power in the Golden Cross Slash. Even if someone doesn't have much talent in swordsmanship, they can master it if they are willing to spend time practicing.

The upward ripples and swirling forces are becoming increasingly difficult to generate.

Sir Fred smiled and said, "You have a very good talent for swordsmanship. It took your father two days to master it."

Li Wei suddenly felt a sense of defeat, never expecting that his kendo talent was not as good as his father's.

"How long did it take you, Lord Fred?" Levi asked.

Sir Fred held up two fingers.

"Two days?"

"No, twice..."

"...Never mind, I didn't ask."

Li Wei was deeply shocked. Was this the true genius of swordsmanship?

I practiced it nearly a hundred times over three days before I could barely master it.

But Sir Fred only used it twice.

At that moment, he deeply felt the gap between geniuses and ordinary people.

Even a powerful knight like Fred stayed in the Ripple stage for twenty years.

There is still no hope of comprehending the power of rotation.

Li Wei dared not even imagine what that would be like for an ordinary person.

"Fortunately, I have a proficiency panel. As long as I'm willing to work hard and as long as I'm alive, one day I will reach the Whirlwind Realm."

Li Weiping calmed down.

"Oh, by the way, the men I sent to investigate the Wild Boar Gang are back. Guess what?" Sir Fred squinted, gazing into the distance, and continued, "The Wild Boar Gang has joined the Wilderness Brotherhood."

"The Wilderness Brotherhood? No wonder that boar rider was so arrogant; he's found a backer." Li Wei sneered.

The Wilderness Brotherhood is a well-known force in the northern part of the kingdom.

It is said to be an organization that worships the "Lord of the Wilderness," and its members are mostly wandering knights and bandits who roam the wilderness.

The Wilderness Brotherhood advocates the doctrines of "returning to the wilderness, freedom for all things" and "all things originate from chaos and return to chaos." They believe that all things originally came from the chaotic wilderness, lived in chaos and disorder, and will eventually return to chaos. This is the best state for all things to compete freely under the frosty sky.

The Lord of the Wilderness is the human manifestation of [Chaos].

Therefore, they advocated overthrowing the tyranny of the church and the kingdom, abolishing all power systems, abolishing the aristocratic lord system, and returning to a primitive, anarchistic system. Only in such a state could all things continue to evolve under the creed of survival of the fittest, and ultimately everyone could become a god!

Without a doubt, this is absolute heresy, and therefore, the Wilderness Brotherhood is a key target of the Church and the Kingdom.

This organization had disappeared for a long time, but because of the turmoil caused by the "Millennial Holy War" three years ago, the kingdom and the church had no time to pay attention to these minor figures. Now, this organization has reappeared.

"What do you want to do?" Sir Fred asked.

Li Wei said without hesitation, "Then let them support old blacksmith Toby for us for now. Young blacksmith Milan's skills are almost there. In a few days, arrange for more people to become his apprentices. The production of weapons and equipment for the militia cannot be interrupted."

Sir Fred nodded: "Good, the world is becoming increasingly chaotic."

It wasn't that Li Wei was cowardly; it was simply that his current strength was far inferior to that of the Wilderness Brotherhood.

The Wilderness Brotherhood has existed for so long, absorbing many gangs and wandering knights. If it weren't for the lack of Grand Knights, the number of knights in this organization would probably surpass that of even the Grand Earls.

After so many years of dormancy, who can be sure that the Wilderness Brotherhood doesn't have a Grand Knight in charge?

"I'm still too weak. If I had the strength of my father, I could storm into the Wild Boar Gang and the Wilderness Brotherhood wouldn't dare to stand up for them."

Li Wei made a self-deprecating remark, and then returned to his daily training routine.

In the year 1004 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of budding (February).

It should be the season of rejuvenation, but Blackwater Valley is located in the north. Although it is not as cold as the winter months, the mountains are still blocked by heavy snow.

Li Wei was forced to live a life of seclusion, but fortunately, he could accumulate experience in the Black Serpent Breathing Technique and the Golden Cross Slash, keeping him always busy.

Li Wei's current daily routine consists of practicing the breathing technique twice each in the morning, noon, and evening, and spending the rest of his time practicing the Golden Cross Slash.

Breathing techniques are fundamental and of utmost importance, but they consume too much of Li Wei's energy and spirit, as well as the territory's food supplies. The food reserves stored before winter were insufficient if he devoted himself to practicing breathing techniques, and Li Wei found it difficult to swallow those black breads.

However, at Li Wei's current pace, practicing the breathing technique six times a day and conservatively gaining 15 points of proficiency, he can break through to the third rank and advance to the quasi-knight level in about a year.

This speed is already very fast, and it is in no way inferior to his genius father.

As for the Golden Cross Slash, Li Wei practiced it every day until his body could handle it to the limit. Unlike breathing techniques, sword skills don't require too much worry about going into a state of demonic possession, so improvement was quite rapid.

Of course, Li Wei would give himself a day off every week to give his overworked body a chance to breathe. It was the modification of his breathing technique that made his body exceptionally strong. For an ordinary person, this level of training would have exhausted them to death.

In the year 1004 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of vitality (March) is when all things revive, and grass grows and birds fly.

Li Wei's Golden Cross Slash successfully broke through to the second tier, and he immediately opened the panel.
