Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 38 Azure Breathing Technique

The outcome of the battle was as expected.

A dozen or so breaths later, the black-robed man's battle aura shield was corroded by Pei Ze's acid spray, and he was then torn to pieces by the mist crows.

After the battle ended, Pei Ze let out a long sigh of relief.

Don't be fooled by how easily he took down all the enemies; there were actually many dangerous moments involved.

If it weren't for Wu Yu's warning, he wouldn't have had time to dodge the arrow that attacked from behind.

If the sneak attack succeeds, even if you are protected by a protective ring and will not be injured, you will inevitably fall into the siege of four great knights.

Having lost the initiative, it will be difficult to win the battle unscathed as we have now.

Thinking of this, Pei Ze smiled and patted Wu Yu's head, praising, "Well done, little guy."

Wuyu let out a demure cry, then lowered her head to preen her feathers, which had been ruffled during the battle.

The four great knights were quite powerful, and in this battle, more than four hundred mist crows perished.

But it doesn't matter. The transformed Mist Raven is no longer a life form in the usual sense. Even if it dies, it can be re-condensed within the Mist Feather's body, it just takes time.

After calming himself down, Pei Ze approached the black-robed man's corpse, squatted down, and began to search it carefully.

After the battle, it was time to loot the corpses.

These guys are obviously repeat offenders; they've robbed countless people from the black market, and they probably have a lot of assets on them.

As Pei Ze had guessed, he quickly found a dimensional bag on the man in black robes.

Unlike other magical items, the dimensional bag does not require a high level of mental strength.

It is one of the very few magical items that can be used by first-level wizard apprentices and knights.

Pei Ze opened the dimensional bag and took a look; his eyes immediately lit up.

gold!

So many gold coins!

There were at least ten thousand of them, almost filling most of the space in the dimensional bag.

In addition, there were dozens of bottles of potions—most of which were brute force potions that he had just bought—as well as several books and a shield.

Pei Ze didn't examine the body closely, put away his dimensional bag, and continued searching for the other corpses.

Unfortunately, including the archer, the remaining four only had about a hundred gold coins and a few potions as spoils. It was unclear whether the items were on the black-robed man.

After looting the spoils, Pei Ze left the scene immediately without lingering.

The battle just now lasted for quite a while and caused quite a commotion; the city guards will probably arrive soon.

Although he was the victim of an ambush and the killing was in self-defense, he had just come from the black market, and being entangled with the city guards would cause some trouble. It was best to avoid unnecessary complications.

Back at his apartment, Pei Ze first used energy particles to clean himself from head to toe, changed into clean clothes, and then sat down on the sofa in the living room to take stock of his spoils.

The largest quantity was gold coins, totaling more than 12,400.

The gleaming gold coins were piled up like a small mountain on the carpet, reflecting a delightful shimmer in the moonlight streaming in through the window.

This many gold coins are enough for him to live on for a long time.

Pei Ze glanced at Wu Yu on his shoulder. Wu Yu deserved the most credit for defeating the ambush this time, so he might as well use this money to upgrade its food and exchange the pet food for magic stone coins.

"Little guy, you're in for a treat." Pei Ze smiled and patted Wu Yu's head.

The little guy looked up, cried out, and flapped its wings.

Pei Ze smiled and continued counting.

Besides gold coins, the most abundant item is potions.

There were more than eighty bottles in total, including more than ten bottles of antidote and stamina potions in addition to the brute force potion.

This batch of potions alone is worth eight or nine thousand gold coins!

Pei Ze couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

What a kind person! They bought the medicine and even brought it back to him.

Aside from the potions and gold coins, the rest were mostly clothes and miscellaneous items, which Pei Ze threw aside, intending to dispose of them later. He then looked at the three remaining books and the shield.

The three books are "Azure Breathing Technique", "Storm Slash", and "Extreme Flash".

Pei Ze opened the "Azure Breathing Method" and began to browse through it quickly.

Breathing techniques are a knight's training method.

Sword-wielding attendants train their bodies until their physique reaches a certain level, at which point they can begin practicing breathing techniques. Once they successfully master the basics, they can be promoted to apprentice knight.

Once a trainee knight has mastered the breathing technique and condensed a life seed, he can be promoted to a knight.

Like spells, breathing techniques also have different ranks.

The higher the level of the breathing technique, the more efficient it is at tempering the body and the easier it is to condense the seed of life.

The simplest way to determine the grade of a breathing technique is to see if it has accompanying combat skills and how many of them there are.

Low-level breathing techniques generally do not have accompanying combat skills.

The intermediate-level breathing technique has a corresponding combat skill.

Advanced breathing techniques come with multiple accompanying combat skills.

Both Storm Slash and Extreme Flash are complementary combat skills of the Azure Breathing Technique; in other words, this is a high-level breathing technique.

"Advanced Breathing Techniques."

Pei Ze gently stroked the book cover with his palm, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

In about three more days, the Sleep Curse will be improved and completed.

At that time, an empty taskbar will appear in the Eye of All Wisdom.

Since he doesn't intend to continue improving other zero-ring spells, he can use them to analyze breathing techniques.

For a formal wizard, breathing techniques have little effect, since wizards have many ways to strengthen their physical bodies and don't need to painstakingly practice breathing techniques.

But wizard apprentices are different.

Wizard apprentices have relatively few combat skills and are particularly weak in close combat.

Especially for wizard apprentices who lack defensive magical items, the consequences of being caught in close combat are unpredictable.

Therefore, many apprentices choose to study breathing techniques after advancing to the second level of wizard apprenticeship to enhance their melee combat abilities.

Combat techniques combined with the use of energy particles are enough to unleash formidable combat power.

Furthermore, there is another benefit to a second-level wizard apprentice practicing breathing techniques.

That is, their physical constitution has already reached the level of a knight. Their powerful physique makes it easier for them to cultivate breathing techniques and condense life seeds.

"Whether it's practicing breathing techniques or not, every little bit of improvement in physical attributes is beneficial."

After a moment's thought, Pei Ze quickly made up his mind.

"If I can advance to the rank of Grand Knight and master the ability to project my battle aura, I will gain another layer of defense."

If he had the physique of a Grand Knight and mastered the battle aura shield, he could have taken down those four Grand Knights single-handedly without Wu Yu's assistance!

"Anyway, the taskbar is just sitting empty."

"Omniscient, analyze the Azure Breathing Technique."

[Task created, analysis of Qinglan Breathing Technique begins, estimated time 12 hours]

Pei Ze raised an eyebrow. "Pretty quick."

After thinking for a moment, he paused the task of improving the Sleeping Curse and decided to analyze the Azure Breathing Technique first.

After finishing this, Pei Ze looked at the last shield.

The shield was only about the size of two palms, triangular in shape, and looked extremely small and exquisite.

He picked up the shield gently; it felt very light, almost weightless.

The shield's surface was very cold, and it felt slippery to the touch.

A normal shield couldn't be made so light and small; clearly, this is an enchanted item.

Pei Ze pressed his entire left palm onto the shield, concentrated his mind, and slowly let his consciousness sink in.

The next second, a message suddenly came to my mind.

Please set a password.

Pei Ze was slightly taken aback, then his eyes lit up.

Only semi-intelligent or intelligent magical items require a password to be set so that they can be activated when needed.

Such magical items are often extremely valuable.

I never expected the man in the black robe to have such a good thing on him!

It was probably stolen from some wealthy but unlucky wizard apprentice.

Pei Ze stroked the shield, thought for a moment, and whispered:

"Xiao Ai".

The moment the words left his mouth, the triangular shield suddenly floated into the air, slowly rotating, its surface gleaming with a faint silver light.

Seeing this scene, Pei Ze felt a surge of excitement.

He already knew what it was.

An active shield!
