"Lion Breathing Technique, is that it?" Roy realized that he could now try to mobilize his life energy. With the support of life energy and enhancement, the power of his Whirlwind Slash could actually reach twice that of before!

Moreover, his Whirlwind Slash had already broken through to Lv.4, so it was a fast and ruthless killing move!

"The stronger the physical attributes, the more life energy I can mobilize. With the added life energy, a mercenary like Perland can triple the effectiveness of his swordsmanship," Roy estimated.

"The most important thing is..."

He took a deep breath, his veins throbbing and his blood boiling, as if the heat from the breath was inexhaustible.

Roy made rapid adjustments based on the correct frequency and intensity given by the Eye of True Sight.

The standard of their movements is improving rapidly.

If the creator of the Lion Breathing Technique were here, he would surely be speechless with astonishment.

It is astonishing that some people can perfectly adjust their breathing according to their own situation within just a few minutes, achieving an unbelievable level of proficiency.

Generally speaking, this process requires at least several years of practice, just like learning swordsmanship.

The standard for a knight's squire is whether he can use a breathing technique that is more than normal.

The Lion Breathing Method is a breathing method that is above normal.

Therefore, strictly speaking, Roy can now be called a knight's squire.

All in all, it took less than forty days.

If Soraya had been able to help him achieve normal breathing from the beginning, the time would have been shortened to less than ten days.

That's what makes wizards so powerful.

In "The Holy Knight Roland", Roland became a knight's squire in just one month.

But it's just a story, so you can make it up however you want. Even if you exaggerate the time to ten days, as long as it makes sense, the children will believe it.

The truth is, a month is impossible, unless Roland also has a wizard behind him, a wizard who is quite familiar with the Knight's Breathing Technique and can help him advance.

Theoretically speaking, Roy's breakthrough speed at this stage has reached its fastest.

The other teenagers are still in the process of transitioning from normal breathing to their usual breathing patterns, which will likely take several more months.

"Next, I will strive to become a true knight." Roy's gaze sharpened.

"The maximum level for a knight's squire is 10 points in both strength and constitution, and then, in a moment of crisis, they can condense a life seed to become a full-fledged knight."

He still has a long way to go in both of these areas.

"First, I need to raise the standard of the Lion Breathing Technique to its limit, so that my attributes can be improved as quickly as possible."

Roy suddenly moved, the sound of bones and muscles rubbing together like a muffled roar from the abyss, instantly waking Karazhan from his sleep.

"You're awake?" Karazhan had just opened his eyes when he grabbed Roy's wrist and asked, "How's the bloodline fusion going? The instructor said that the Lothl Lion bloodline can speed up the breathing technique practice, and I want to try fusing one too."

"Perfect." Roy shook off his sleepiness and lied with a smile, "No side effects whatsoever."

"Only benefits!?" Karazhan's desire for bloodline fusion grew stronger.

Unfortunately, the requirement for blood is that the amalgamator kills the creature itself.

He can't possibly go and kill Lord Histor's family... can he?

He'd only ever seen others kill, but he'd never done it himself.

—On this point, it doesn't necessarily require killing someone.

Soraya suddenly lowered the hand that was supporting her head.

"Huh?" Karazhan uttered a short, questioning sound.

—I can purify low-concentration blood into high-concentration blood, and vice versa.

Previously, the blood Roy used to draw the magic circle was primarily derived from Drok. Soraya proposed that Karazhan could use the blood of the real Lothl Lion as the base, and then have Soraya do the opposite, reducing its concentration to suit the magic circle.

Similarly, I only charge 500 magic stones.

Soraya said to Karazhan in a tone that said, "I've already given you a discount."

However, that's not the key point.

"Using the blood of a real lion as the main component, does that mean I have to kill a Lothl lion?" Karazhan hadn't forgotten the conditions for blood fusion.

A fully grown male lion in Lothar possesses the fighting strength of a formal knight, and the cubs are well cared for by the pride; it's impossible to let them enter the pride and wreak havoc.

"You can't kill the Lotl Lion, but the blood condition doesn't require you to fight them personally," Roy was the first to react. "Sending a dying Lotl Lion to you and killing it will satisfy the condition just the same."

"A dying lion?" Karazhan was about to ask where this thing came from when he suddenly frowned.

He had heard from Marley that Leylin was leading a hunting party, and their primary target was the Lothl Lion.

To be precise, it uses their blood to accelerate the speed of breathing exercises.

But that's not right.

If Lord Histor could capture a live Lothl lion, he would have done so long ago.

After all, living things produce their own blood. Imprisoning a lion and drawing its blood at fixed intervals is definitely more profitable than killing it and drawing its blood all at once.

The key point is that even with two official knights leading the team, they are not confident in capturing such a large beast.

The only option is to kill.

"They killed them, what does it have to do with me?" Karazhan's thinking was simple and easy to understand.

Roy looked at him with an amused expression, as if he saw through everything.

"If I'm not mistaken, this time, Leylin should be able to bring back a live male lion. Hmm... if he's lucky, maybe even two."

What does that mean?

Karazhan felt completely stunned, while Soraya looked at him with a subtle expression.

He's right.

This indicates that she agrees with Roy's speculation.

Even the mighty Lothar Lion, though powerful, is merely a low-level supernatural being. A third-class apprentice who has learned some offensive magic possesses the ability to kill it. Similarly, some magical artifacts with attack power comparable to a third-class apprentice can also kill it.

That's right, it's a witchcraft artifact!

Soraya gave Histor a magical artifact for capturing creatures. Such artifacts are quite common among bloodline wizards, but in the Blackwater Territory, where only a few artifacts exist and spread, they are considered divine artifacts!

When Histor received her sorcery, he was overjoyed and said he would use it during the hunt for the Lothl Lion.

Therefore, in reality, a live Lothar lion was already in the Lord's manor's possession.

"Miss Soraya..." Karazhan's eyes reddened with emotion upon hearing her explanation.

Soraya has been at the lord's manor for so long without helping Histor and the others capture a Lothl lion, so the reason for her current actions is quite clear.

The purpose was to capture a Lothl lion, have Karazhan kill it, and then perform a bloodline fusion!

If this isn't concern for the students, then what is it?

Are they trying to scam me out of my 500 magic stones?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Karazhan's inner monologue is going wild.

It's obvious that Soraya is a kind and considerate teacher. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also kind-hearted. If Karazhan didn't already have someone he liked, he probably wouldn't be able to resist this woman's charm.

"I...I want to study!" Inspired, he decided to study until noon the next day so as not to let Miss Soraya down!
