It felt so good to be close to the witch!

Nourished by the energy within his body, Roy could feel his previously exhausted body rapidly recovering.

This discovery surprised Roy.

Before this, he had not used his physical strength to this extent, and therefore could not discover this effect of his innate energy.

Fortunately, it's not too late to discover it now.

Inside the room, Roy began his first breathing technique practice after advancing to the Bronze level.

As soon as he started practicing the breathing technique, he felt a huge difference.

If a formal knight's use of "Explosive Breathing Technique" is like a small syringe pumping water, then a bronze knight is like a pump.

In just one minute, he absorbed a magical particle from the environment!

Compared to a regular Cavaliers' 1 hour and 1 point, the difference is terrifyingly large.

Through continued training and experimentation, Roy discovered significant differences in his ability to condense battle qi.

Before reaching the original upper limit of battle qi, the speed of condensing battle qi reached 1 si per minute, which is 1440 si per day. In other words, it can recover 1.44 dao of battle qi per day.

It takes about two days to fully restore the fighting spirit of a Bronze One-Star Knight from scratch.

Once the battle qi level is restored to its maximum, the speed at which one can further increase their battle qi level is greatly reduced.

The breathing technique reduces the rate at which it draws magical particles from nature to one per half hour, and the rate at which it condenses battle qi to a wisp per minute and a half.

Chapter 30 The Awakening of the Fox-Eared Witch

(Midnight update, please continue reading!)

The practice of "Explosive Flame Breathing Technique" after reaching the normal Bronze rank can be summarized into two stages:

Recovery phase: 1 strand is recovered per minute, and 1.44 strands are recovered per day.

Improvement stage: 1 micrometer increase every half hour, 0.048 micrometer increases per day.

This data is based on a whole day without eating, drinking, or sleeping; the actual figure is much lower.

But things were completely different for Roy.

With his innate talent [Infinite Desire] fully utilized, his speed far surpasses that of a normal Bronze Knight:

Recovery phase: Incalculable, energy is abundant, and he can instantly convert energy into battle qi.

Improvement stage: 1 si per minute and 30 seconds, 0.96 si per day.

……

Whether in the recovery phase or the enhancement phase, with the help of the talent [Infinite Desire], Roy's speed far exceeds that of a normal Bronze Knight.

Even if he only cultivates for 12 hours a day, not to mention working around the clock, he can still increase his battle qi by 0.48. In a maximum of 19 days, his battle qi level will reach the level of Bronze Three Star!

Of course, the consequence of this kind of training is that Roy needs to consume at least 480 (training consumption) + 200 (nourishing the body) = 680 strands of battle qi per day!

Fortunately, he is not short of witches now, and all of them are very "desire".

After cultivating for nearly 8 hours, Roy opened his eyes and let out a long breath after his internal fighting spirit had increased to 1.32 Dao.

The increasingly long breaths proved that his mastery of breathing techniques had deepened.

After calming his breathing, Roy turned his head to look out the window.

The crimson moon hangs high in the sky, and all is quiet; it is the perfect time for a night out.

"Miss Ais, are you there?"

Roy called out softly, his gaze then falling on the area near the window where the Ice Witch Ais had appeared last time.

A few seconds later, the light and shadow on the windowsill in front of him flickered, and a slender yet graceful figure slowly appeared.

Her deep purple dress appeared even more luxurious under the crimson moonlight. Her pale silver pupils, interspersed with black lines, resembled fallen stars, revealing no emotion and as indifferent as frost.

"what's up?"

A cold voice rang out, and the Ice Witch Ais stared at Roy.

"I am now confident that I can absorb more pollution, which will help Miss Elena alleviate her condition better."

"So I'd like to ask you to take me there. If I go by myself, there's a risk of being exposed."

Roy said seriously.

Upon hearing this, a ripple appeared in Ais's calm, pale silver eyes.

In fact, after Roy absorbed a trace of pollution from the fox-eared witch Elena last time, although Elena's condition stopped worsening, it didn't improve much either. Elena is still in a coma.

Ais saw this and was anxious, but she also knew that Roy had indeed reached his limit and could no longer absorb any more pollution.

Ais has mixed feelings about Roy.

These years of being hunted and betrayed have filled her with disgust and hatred for humanity, especially the temple.

But ironically, Roy, being human, is the only ray of light in her endless dark world.

In the silent stillness, Ais nodded gently, extending her fair, jade-like hand to Roy.

He reached out and grasped the Ice Witch Ais's small hand, feeling the familiar softness between his fingers.

The next moment, Roy's vision was obscured by a faint layer of icy blue light, and the scenery on both sides rushed past.

What a great speed!

Is this the power of the Ice Witch...?

Roy was shocked. Even though he had advanced to the Bronze rank and his physique, nourished by energy, was only slightly inferior to that of a Bronze Two-Star Knight, he still couldn't see the scenery around him clearly.

No wonder that Red, the former Bronze II star, couldn't even withstand a single move from the Ice Witch Ais.

The difference is just too great...

When his vision returned to normal, several minutes had passed. Roy looked up and saw a somewhat familiar, dimly lit basement.

The candlelight on the old wooden table cast a faint glow, outlining the silhouette of a girl lying flat on the wooden bed with her hands crossed over her lower abdomen.

Elena, fast asleep, had her brows furrowed slightly, as if she were enduring some pain. Her chubby little face was very pale, and even her fluffy golden fox ears drooped limply onto the bed.

After bringing Roy here, Ais let go of Roy's hand and went to the wooden bed not far away. Looking at the unconscious fox-eared witch Elena, her cold gaze turned into pity and worry.

The disappearance of the soft, smooth touch in his hand left Roy feeling empty. He suppressed the ripples in his heart and quickly went to the wooden bed to observe the current state of the fox-eared witch, Elena.

Pulling open her tightly closed eyelids, one can clearly see that the black threads representing the "level of contamination" in the fox-eared witch Elena's pupils are not moving, but rather remaining still, almost completely obscuring her originally pale golden pupils.

The fact that the polluted black silk is not moving is actually not a good thing.

Silence leads to accumulation, and accumulation breeds more pollution.

If this "polluted silence" cannot be dispelled, the witch will soon lose control and turn into a monster.

This is one of the bases by which ordinary people judge whether a witch is about to lose control.

"Elena's condition was so critical, why didn't you tell me immediately?"

Roy wanted to ask Ais that question, but the words just wouldn't come out.

He thought of himself before today, when he had not yet advanced to the Bronze rank. Even if he knew this situation, he would probably be willing but powerless.

At most, he could only absorb a single wisp of polluted battle qi, making the possibility of breaking Elena's "polluted silence" extremely slim.

Suddenly, Roy realized why the Ice Witch Ais had appeared so quickly these past few days whenever he called her name.

It's likely that Ais understood the urgency of Elena's situation and knew Roy's helplessness, which is why she stayed by Roy's side, hoping that he would break through as soon as possible and bring him to solve Elena's problem.

Having figured out the cause and effect, Roy took a deep breath, said nothing, and raised his hand to grasp the almost bloodless hand of the fox-eared witch Elena.

A chilling coldness entered Roy's skin the moment he made contact, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

This kind of cold is not the kind of cold that is physically low, but rather a coldness of spirit and soul.

Does the witch's loss of control stem from her mind or soul?

The thought crossed Roy's mind, and then, [Infinite Desire] was activated!

"Om..."

In the silent turmoil, a large amount of pollution surged into Roy's body, and under the influence of his talent [Infinite Desire], it was transformed into energy that he could use.

25%...30%...35%...

After practicing the breathing technique, only about 19% of the energy remained, which was rapidly increasing at a rate of 5% per second.

Fifteen seconds later, Roy's body was filled with more than 95% of its capacity.

Such a volume of pollution, when converted into battle qi, is equivalent to more than 7.5 levels!

Roy looked into Elena's pupils, where the black stockings that indicated the level of contamination had been reduced by a full quarter!

The disappearance of so much pollution stabilized the fox-eared witch Elena's condition, and the "dormant" black silk in her pupils began to move again.

Seeing this, Roy withdrew his hand and quickly disconnected the link to [Infinite Desire]. If it continued, he would be "bursted" out.

At this moment, the fox-eared witch Elena's tightly closed eyes twitched, and then slowly opened.

Her pale gold eyes, gleaming beneath her flowing black stockings, met Roy's face, which was less than half a meter away, practically inches away. She tilted her head slightly.

"Ah-le-le..."

Chapter 31 Magic Crystal Grenade!

(Midnight update, please continue reading!)

"Hey bro... who are you?"

A clear voice, tinged with a touch of childishness, came from the fox-eared witch Elena.

The moment their eyes met, Roy felt his vision blur, as if everything in front of him was drifting away and floating away.

"Elena".

With a soft shout from the Ice Witch Ais, Roy felt the strange sensation in front of him rapidly fade away, and he quickly returned to normal.

Is this the fox-eared witch's innate ability? Hypnosis? Illusion? Or what?

Roy felt a chill run down his spine and quickly stepped back to create some distance. He shook his head, and once he was more alert, he gave a slight bow and introduced himself: "Hello, Miss Elena, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Roy Tulumbel."
