Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 75 Golden Warhammer - Terra! (Please continue reading, please vote with monthly tickets!)

During this time, Li Wei also made progress in other breathing techniques.

In particular, the newly acquired Giant Rhinoceros Breathing Technique and Wild Bull Breathing Technique have both reached the third level.

Of these two breathing techniques, the Bull Breathing Technique and the Bear Breathing Technique are similar. Based on the little figure pattern, Li Wei judged that he could only cultivate them to the fourth level before reaching his limit.

The Giant Rhinoceros Breathing Technique, a non-bloodline breathing technique, actually has twenty-four little human figures. According to Li Wei's speculation, it should be able to be cultivated to the fifth level, which is about the same level as the Siren Breathing Technique.

The slowest progress was in the Vortex Beast Breathing Technique, which had only broken through to the second level.

Even the worst version of this high-quality breathing technique is far more difficult to master than those used by frost wolves or giant bears. Of course, the most important reason is the lack of the Planarian Elixir.

Li Wei is currently juggling five breathing techniques—Black Serpent, Vortex Beast, Human-faced Spider, Giant Rhinoceros, and Savage Bull—as well as the combat skill Golden Cross Slash. He's so busy he's practically fuming.

As for the Flame Stream Seal, due to the need for spellcasting materials, he would collect enough materials and then grind it all at once, so the proficiency level increased very casually.

Although this kind of life is very tiring, the increase in strength brought by each breakthrough and the repeated breaking of the limits of the human body are truly captivating for Li Wei.

Because the Golden Cross Slash was close to breaking through, Li Wei specially took some time from practicing breathing techniques to allow the Golden Cross Slash to break through to the fifth level, and the initial special effect ripple became an intermediate ripple.

This boosted his strength once again.

After so many accumulations, Li Wei could no longer fathom his own strength.

Especially after Sir Fred was injured, there was no one in the territory who could fight Levi.

Li Wei could only spar with the three brothers. Now, with his eyes closed, he could manipulate them at will by relying on his enhanced intermediate speed and basic vibration perception.

It's not that the three brothers are too weak; any one of them has the strength of a low-level knight, or even stronger. When they join forces, even a mid-level knight can't defeat them, and only a high-level knight can barely hold their own.

The problem is that even when Li Wei was still a low-ranking knight, he was able to defeat a high-ranking knight like Tie Shan, who practiced two different breathing techniques.

Now that he has reached the intermediate level, he possesses many fifth-level skills, including the trump card Flame Flow Seal. Furthermore, he has completely mastered the attack patterns of the three brothers, so he can deal with them with ease.

In short, Li Wei's strength has been amplified to an extremely terrifying level.

It's just that he's too low-key and hasn't had a chance to showcase his abilities.

Li Wei originally wanted to find an opportunity to kill that old dog Abraham.

But after thinking about it, it would be a waste to kill Abraham now.

The church has been built, and its influence extends beyond Blackwater Valley, Frostwind Pass, Rocksteady Pass, and Silvermoon Pass. Many territories in the north, beyond the reach of the Icewind City Church, as well as some settlements in the wilderness, will become targets for Abraham's plundering.

The means of accumulating wealth were nothing more than donations from noble lords, taxes, indulgences, usury, and so on.

It is foreseeable that the church will make more and more money in the future.

"Old dog, you can make as much money as you want. Consider the taxes I pay for you as my housing provident fund; I'll get them back sooner or later."

He has now almost completely established a relationship with that old dog Abraham. Even the church branch in Icewind City knows that there is a generous and magnanimous lord named Livy here who has donated a lot of money and labor to the church.

He was indirectly investing in the construction of the church, and considered himself a shareholder of the church.

He planned to wait until the church was overflowing with donations, then change his identity and disguise, personally seize back everything that Abraham had painstakingly built up, and kill the old dog to vent his anger and make up for the loss of gold coins over the years. At that time, the church would hardly suspect that he was the one who did it.

Li Wei was happily making plans.

……

The year 1008 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of Blazing Fire.

Everything within the territory was running smoothly and efficiently.

Li Wei also kept inquiring about the changes in the outside world through his informant at the Shining Tavern.

The Death Bird's Cry remained silent. So much time had passed since Tie Shan's assassination attempt, and no stronger assassins had been sent to kill Li Wei. Presumably, they had given up.

The investigation into the killer who wiped out the stronghold also came to nothing. After all, everyone in the stronghold died that day and was burned to the ground. The killer left nothing behind, so where could they possibly investigate?

However, Li Wei did not let his guard down. This persistent organization could make a comeback at any time, and he had to be highly vigilant.

As for the Duke of Montenegro, there was absolutely no news.

After all, he was a Grand Duke, a figure at the top of the kingdom's hierarchy, and extremely busy. After several unsuccessful assassination attempts, he was either preoccupied with other important matters and had forgotten about himself, or he was plotting a conspiracy that could absolutely kill Livy.

In short, the current situation is as still as stagnant water.

Although things have been peaceful during this period, Li Wei is not used to it.

Because he always felt that this was the calm before the storm.

He had this intuition because he sensed it indirectly during his deal with the boar rider.

In previous years, the Boar Rider would personally go to trade, and if Li Wei delivered less than the required quantity, he would complain a bit.

But this year, the people trading with Li Wei and his group are now under the command of the Wild Boar Riders.

This suggests that the Wild Boar Rider is likely too busy to attend to smaller suppliers like Levi.

Judging from the smug expressions on the faces of the boar rider's men, the Wilderness Brotherhood's strength was probably nearly complete, and they were just waiting for the right moment to rise up, Li Wei guessed.

"However, I now have a certain ability to protect myself."

Over the years, Blackwater Valley's fiscal revenue has become sufficient to support Li Wei's travel expenses and military expenditures, in addition to the money Li Wei has plundered through murder and arson.

Overall, the issue of money has been largely resolved for Li Wei, who has no political ambitions.

A fully armed cavalry unit of fifty men was formed. In addition, the part-time militia serving the cavalry was expanded. The population of Livy's territory also increased significantly, mainly from the serf market.

The southward migration of refugees from the far north due to extreme cold and the Snow Demon calamity has led to a decrease in the price of serfs in recent years, and Li Wei took the opportunity to buy a lot of people into the country.

His castle was more fortified than before, and was equipped with deadly weapons such as armor-piercing crossbows.

The three brothers are growing stronger and stronger. In a few years, Li Wei will be able to forge armor for them, making them absolute weapons of war on the battlefield!

Thus, in a state of peaceful coexistence, both the overall strength of Blackwater Valley and Li Wei's personal strength were growing healthily and steadily.

In his spare time, after being promoted to Master Craftsman, Li upgraded his equipment again, and Frostmourne was now version 3.0.

He also began to re-forge master-level armor, weapons, crossbows, and other equipment to arm his army, striving to ensure that every soldier in his army was equipped with the best possible gear.

Towards the end of the Forge Month, with the added benefit of the [Swiftness] effect, Li Wei and the blacksmiths had a surplus of weapons.

He then took a knight's longsword, which he had forged himself and was of master craftsman caliber, and left Blackwater Valley under the cover of night, heading towards Icewind City.

Now that he is strong enough, it's time for him to make a name for himself as a master craftsman.

You should know that he may be the only craftsman of this era.

He had even thought of a name and title for the artisan's disguise.

"Golden Warhammer - Terra".
