Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 108 The Road After the Great Knight! (3rd update! 3600 words, please subscribe!)

The year 1011 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Primordial Month, the New Year.

The war continues.

Li Wei gazed at his jubilant people within his territory, his heart remaining as still as a deep well.

Aside from breakthroughs, these mundane festivals can hardly bring Li Wei any ritualistic joy anymore.

After the boring holiday, Li Wei idly surveyed everything in his territory.

Finally, he brought Demon Shark and Demon Mountain to the mountains and forests of his territory, where he wanted to test his current strength.

He wanted to see the extraordinary defense of the eighth-tier black serpent, combined with the top-tier strength of the seventh-tier giant rhinoceros, the top-tier speed of the seventh-tier sea monster, and the top-tier endurance of the seventh-tier blood whale.

Without relying on overpowered sword techniques like the Golden Cross Slash, without relying on semi-mage skills like the Sign, and without relying on the Frost Giant Armor or any other armor, what level can one reach purely through physical strength?

Demon Shark and Demon Mountain were fully armed, both clad in heavy armor and wielding powerful weapons like greatswords and giant axes.

Li Wei was wearing nothing but his underwear to cover his private parts.

"Come on, attack me!"

After Li Wei finished speaking, he ordered the two brothers to attack him freely!

Then, two enormous creatures charged toward Li Wei, their giant axes cleaving through the air and their giant swords sweeping across the sky, creating a chilling atmosphere in the mountains and forests!

At Li Wei's heart, the black serpent seed leaped, surging power brewing within it, channeling the vast, turbulent black energy through his bloodstream and capillaries to reach Li Wei's entire body.

His head was like wearing a black demon helmet, his upper body was completely black with thick black energy flowing over it, and his lower body was the same, his legs were like bronze, shining with a metallic luster.

"Is this what superhuman defense is?"

Li Wei was deeply shocked.

boom!

He covered the black mist with his palms and clamped down on the Demon Shark's giant sword!

Then he kicked out, delivering a powerful blow to the shark's abdomen.

Demon Shark couldn't help but take a few steps back. However, Demon Shark was a power-type Great Knight, and his strength was no weaker than Levi's. If it were an ordinary Great Knight, Levi's kick might have sent them flying.

At the same time, the Demon Mountain's giant axe came crashing down.

Li Wei slammed his fist into the giant axe of the Demon Mountain, and the sound of metal clashing against metal rang out.

The black aura on Li Wei's fist trembled violently. The force of the giant axe dispersed the black aura covering Li Wei's fist, and the force caused Li Wei's fist to ache terribly.

"A direct confrontation with a weapon shrouded in black energy is still not an option."

"Although the black energy has strengthened my physical defense, flesh and blood are still no match for steel."

"However, brief skirmishes are generally not a problem."

Li Wei calmly dealt with the ferocious attacks of the Demon Shark and the Demon Mountain.

He was calculating his current strength.

His greatest asset is not his extraordinary defense, but his well-rounded physical attributes.

Other great knights might be able to surpass Levi in ​​a certain attribute.

For example, while the Demon Sharks are currently stronger than Li Wei, their speed, stamina, and defense are inferior to Li Wei's.

Although the Great Knights ensured that their attributes in this area were not too weak and they had no obvious weaknesses, that was all.

Compared to someone like Li Wei, who has cultivated to the highest level in all aspects, he is still inferior.

That's what makes Livy so powerful!

Polygon Warrior!

The Platinum Star of the 5a panel!

In the end, Li Wei stopped the battle to prevent the two Mo brothers from "running out of power".

After all, although he could receive one or two Undead Cores every month, they were still in short supply, and Li Wei dared not waste them.

This battle allowed him to test his own abilities.

On the other hand, I also gained some proficiency in the Mark of Hell, which was better than nothing.

Now that he has become a Grand Knight, he is a powerful figure in the kingdom and even the Seven Kingdoms. Li Wei needs to think carefully about the path ahead.

Firstly, he will continue practicing the breathing technique. Until he truly embarks on the path of a wizard, the knight's breathing technique remains the foundation of Li Wei's self-preservation.

Moreover, the Great Knight is not the end of the knight's path.

Now that he has embarked on this path, Li Wei still wants to reach the top and become a legendary knight, and see the view from a higher vantage point, if conditions permit.

Or, to put it another way, does having a proficiency panel mean that being a legendary knight is necessarily the limit of chivalry?

Others can become legendary knights even without a proficiency panel.

Having your own proficiency panel, a Legendary Knight is practically a must.

It's even possible that they could surpass the legendary status.

Secondly, after the path of the Great Knight begins, the battles between knights will mainly be battles of black energy. At this time, if one can master advanced black energy usage techniques like the Pale Shadow, one's strength will definitely reach a higher level. Therefore, Li Wei also wants to expand in this aspect.

Finally, there's the wizarding path that Li Wei has always longed for.

So far, among the wizarding clues that Li Wei has discovered...

Both the witch Gullweger and Lady Rowling are suspected to be witches. Although they briefly appeared in the human world, finding them remains very difficult and elusive for Levi.

Most importantly, even if Li Wei finds them, he doesn't know whether they are friends or foes; there's too much uncertainty.

Besides these two, Li Wei can also explore the four major families, mainly the Constantine and Winchester families, which may still be alive.

These two families last appeared more than a hundred years ago. Given their extraordinary background, Li Wei felt that they should not have been wiped out.

However, these families are now likely to be a thorn in the side of the Church, so they dare not appear in the world and hide in the shadows. It may take some time for Li Wei to find their descendants.

Li Wei, using his identity as an informant connected to his alias, continuously inquired about clues regarding the extraordinary family.

However, so far, no useful information has come in, which shows that these two families are hiding their true intentions very well.

Therefore, Li Wei had no choice but to wait quietly regarding the four major families.

Finally, there's the snuff bottle I recently acquired.

Without a doubt, those items must be related to wizards.

Although Levi's spider sense didn't trigger any alarms, wizarding artifacts are generally of a very high level, and he was worried that his spider sense might be wrong, so he hadn't dared to open the snuff bottle to see what was going on.

However, he suspected that there was a good chance that an evil spirit was sealed inside, so he had been making preparations. Once he was fully prepared, he could open the snuff bottle.

"There's one more thing, the evil spirit of the Blackwater River, the Water Fairy."

"Now that I've advanced to the rank of Grand Knight, I need to start thinking about how to deal with that guy. He's always entrenched in my territory. If one day that thing becomes powerful enough to leave the Blackwater River, he'll be a ticking time bomb for me."

"If someone as powerful as the Demon Shark can escape the Water Fairy's attack, then with my strength, I shouldn't be in any real danger. Why don't I go try it now? If the spider senses danger, I'll retreat immediately. If not, I'll kill that evil spirit." Li Wei pondered.

"Forget it, let's play it safe for now. Evil spirits are becoming more and more frequent all over the world. Maybe the dust of evil spirits is right here in the Shining Tavern. I'll come back after I've mastered the Dragon's Might Seal. That would be safer."

It's almost the end of the month, just in time for the transaction with Earl Silver Mountain.

Li Wei returned to the shelter, put on his armor, tidied himself up, took some money, and had Demon Shark and Demon Mountain carry the goods as they headed towards Icewind City.

As for the kingdom's envoy that was dealt with some time ago, Li Wei doesn't care about him at all now.

Putting aside his advancement to Grand Knight, his immense strength allows him to move freely without any restraint.

The kingdom itself is already overwhelmed with problems, so how could it have time to investigate the envoy's disappearance?

The envoy wasn't just coming to his own territory to recruit soldiers.

He wanted to visit the vassal territories of some of the kingdoms in the North.

The kingdom had no way of knowing where he died.

In the end, the worst possible outcome would be that after the rebellion of the Duke of Black Mountain was quelled, the kingdom would discover that the Black Serpent Baron of Blackwater Valley had not sent troops to the punitive coalition, and would then send people to settle scores with them later.

However, Li Wei had already decided that if money could solve the problem, that would be best; he would simply spend money to avoid trouble.

If money can't solve the problem, then lay your cards on the table, reveal your identity and strength as a Grand Knight, and see how the kingdom reacts.

If the kingdom insists on targeting us, send a large army to besiege Blackwater Valley.

Then I'll just take my savings and run away using the Thirty-Six Stratagems. I'll then leisurely travel through the seven kingdoms and let the kingdoms take back their territories.

Li Wei had been a lord for a while now, and his goal was to become a wizard, not to be a lord in some remote mountain village.

Explore the outside world more; you might find more information about wizards.

Since he had already fled, the kingdom couldn't possibly send troops to hunt him down all over the world. With his strength as a great knight, coming here would only be suicide.

Offending a great knight who has no territory, no family, and no weakness is an extremely unwise and foolish act.

Livy had plenty of ways to make the kingdom pay the price for its actions.

In this stage, the only thing we might be worried about is the church.

The Church is unfathomable, far beyond what a kingdom can compare to.

However, Li Wei did not intend to compete with the church for faith, so the church should not suppress him.

Overall, the current chaos in the world is more of a boon for Li Wei.

When things get chaotic, no one will care about insignificant people like yourself.

On the contrary, during times of peace, when those important figures have more free time, they are more likely to target you.

That's right, Li Wei was referring to the Duke of Black Mountain. The current Duke of Black Mountain has most likely forgotten about Li Wei and is busy vying for supremacy.

After all, although the Duke of Black Mountain had been lying low for many years, he had secretly amassed a large army, and his military strength and power far exceeded that of any of the great nobles of any kingdom.

But he was too arrogant. It's not easy to fight against both the royal family and the southern nobles at the same time.

Of course, now that more than half of the great nobles from the north have joined the Montenegrin coalition, the gap between Montenegro and the southern coalition is constantly narrowing.

However, the Earl of Silver Mountain was not among these nobles.

Upon arriving in Icewind City, Li Wei hid the Demon Shark and the Demon Mountain in the wilderness and entered the city alone with the goods.

Although they were covered in armor, Li Wei was still worried that the powerful figures hidden in Icewind City would smell the unusual stench of corpses, especially if the madmen of the church noticed it.

……

Inside Yinshan Fort.

Earl Silver Mountain looked at Master Terra in front of him, who simply sat there quietly.

As a Grand Knight, he keenly sensed that the Master seemed to be stronger than before.

Without the presence of dark energy, it would be difficult for Earl Silver Mountain to accurately determine the master's level of cultivation.

However, judging from his aura, the master is not far from becoming a great knight.

It's clear that the master not only has a strong talent for forging, but also a considerable talent for cultivation.

"Congratulations, Master, you have made another step forward on your path of cultivation," Earl Silver Mountain said with a smile.

"Compared to the Earl, he is still insignificant," Master Terra Levy laughed.

He knew that his improved strength would be hard to escape Yinshan's notice.

However, he didn't care anymore. After all, he was strong enough that Yinshan couldn't do anything to him.

Moreover, Li Wei has gotten to know Yinshan better over this period of time.

Overall, among the nobles in the north, the Earl of Silver Mountain was relatively reliable and the kind of person Li Wei was willing to associate with.

Earl Silver Mountain was clever and didn't dwell on the matter too much.

"My Lord, what's the Snow Fairy's condition lately?" Li Wei asked.

Earl Silver Mountain shook his head, then sighed, "This is not good. Although the Ice Queen is resisting with all her might, the number of snow demons doesn't seem to have decreased much. These guys are too troublesome."

Thinking of this, Earl Silver Mountain dismissed his servants and then said, "Master, I have something to show you."

"Oh? What is it?" Li Wei asked curiously.

"Snow Demon," Earl Silver Mountain said solemnly.
