Pioneer Wizard's Notebook

Chapter 94 The Crown of the Sun

Normally speaking, even with extraordinary breathing techniques and the right environment for a breakthrough,

It still takes five to ten years for a knight to advance to the extraordinary level.

Reaching the pinnacle of the extraordinary realm requires most of one's life.

Linde didn't have that much time, so he planned to use breathing techniques and the [Bloodline Modification] technology to get it done in one go.

This directly upgrades your rider level from lv10 to lv14.

This is not difficult. Radiant Crystal and Blood of the Earth are top-tier extraordinary materials, containing immense energy. Combined with his precise control over magic, this is enough to accomplish this goal.

Linde picked up the bear claw scalpel, cut open his chest, and exposed his beating heart.

The magic transformed into fine threads, firmly binding the blood vessels near the incision to ensure a smooth procedure.

He then took out the Radiant Crystal.

Runes of the sun and power had already been engraved on the surface of the crystal; only the final step of activation remained.

The blood of the earth dripped onto the crystal surface, and under the mixed yellow magical light, the blood was quickly absorbed and fused.

Complete the preliminary preparations.

Without further hesitation, Lind cut open his heart and placed the Radiant Crystal inside.

Magic transformed into threads, stitching up the wound and guiding the crystal and heart to merge.

Boom!

Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed through the flower field.

A series of violent throbbing sounds emanated from Linde's heart.

His skin turned bright red in a short time, and his whole body became hot.

Scalding steam billowed from my pores, like a large kettle boiling over, hissing and emitting white vapor.

It really hurts.

Linde gritted his teeth, enduring the pain inside his body.

Without the obstruction of runes during spellcasting, he felt as if he were immersed in magma, every cell in his body emitting a mournful cry.

However, this is not enough, far from enough.

I need to add fuel to the fire of this pain!

Linde poured the magic liquid of the superior sunflower into his mouth, and together with the sunflower field, completely activated the crystal in his heart.

With a bang.

The fire of the sun ignited within him.

This time, it's not about releasing it to the outside world, but about burning itself out.

Linde's clothes vanished, and all the hair on his body burned away in an instant.

His skin was curled and charred, as if it would be burned to ashes at any moment.

Just then, another powerful and vibrant force appeared, suppressing the flames.

The blood of the earth began to work, transforming the physical body.

Like a forest after a wildfire, it is reborn from ruin!

Linde seized the opportunity, channeling the magic within his body into a full-speed breathing technique, continuously strengthening the reconstructed cells, and contributing to the rebuilding of his body.

My vision is getting increasingly blurry.

Does time pass quickly, or slowly?

Linde is unsure.

The physical pain had caused him to lose his sense of the outside world.

Only crimson flames remained, burning fiercely before my eyes.

At noon, the sun hangs high in the sky.

When Linde opened her eyes again, she found herself lying in a sunflower field.

Around it were big, fluffy tails wagging.

The little creatures of the manor, the Ash Furnace Rats, sensed the fluctuations in the sun's magic and came running over to join the fun.

At this moment, they are playing and frolicking on his body.

Linde grabbed a tail in annoyance as his belly and cheeks were being stepped on.

As luck would have it, it's a small broom.

Just as the manor's little butler was feeling smug about riding on his master's head, the perspective suddenly reversed.

The little broom, held upside down, stared blankly at Lind, then waved its forelimbs in protest.

"Squeak!"

The little broom showed a heroic expression of defiance.

However, when he looked back, he found that his companions had all run away.

"Ouch~"

It slowly tucked its forelimbs behind its back, looking at Lind with innocent eyes.

"You troublemaker, don't do it again. Go back now."

Linde reached out and ruffled the little broom's head, chuckled and scolded it, then put it down and watched it run back to the manor.

After seeing the Ash Stove Rats off, he looked at his own body.

Completely naked, with radiant skin, a continuous flow of energy surges from his heart.

The hair on other parts of the body disappeared, but the golden hair on the head remained intact, radiating a faint glow under the influence of the sun's magic.

The new breathing method works perfectly, and the modified experiment is flawless.

Linde assessed his overall condition and confirmed that his knight level had jumped to 1v14, with his strength increasing more than tenfold.

Moreover, thanks to the effects of the breathing technique, he also gained three new specialties.

"Solar Affinity": Increases the body's affinity with solar magic, reducing the magic consumption of related combat skills and spells.

Linde raised his hand, and the fire of the sun burned in his palm.

It can reduce the cost by about a quarter, which is not bad.

He nodded, his expression satisfied.

Then experience the other two.

"Shooting Accuracy": Increases the accuracy of throwing and accelerates the learning efficiency of ranged weapons, including bows and arrows, and throwing spears.

To be precise, the function of this expertise is to coordinate the mind and the body.

It's like throwing trash far into a bin; if you're unlucky, you might only succeed once out of ten attempts.

"Shooting Success" can unify your mind and body, ensuring that once you succeed, your body will remember the feeling.

From now on, as long as you want to, you will definitely be able to put it in.

Very useful; it's a significant improvement for all remote output methods.

Lind experienced his last specialty.

"Sun Posture": Greatly increases affinity with solar magic for a short period of time, rapidly replenishing magic consumption.

This is the highest level of feat in the new breathing technique, requiring level 14 to learn.

From a purely sensory perspective, Linde couldn't quite grasp the power of the "Solar Posture".

So he decided to give it a try.

After changing into a new set of clothes in his room, Linde went outside the manor.

An empty, deserted space.

Linde took a deep breath and assumed the Sun Pose.

In that instant, a dazzling crimson light burst forth from behind him.

The light continuously gathered and intertwined.

Finally, behind his head, it transformed into a crimson halo, with intricate runes appearing and disappearing within it.

"So that's how the sun behaves!"

Linde's eyes lit up with excitement.

Under the sunlight, the red halo transforms into an energy-gathering ring, continuously accumulating the sun's magic.

This solar magic was not purified; it was violent and chaotic, and under normal circumstances, it could not be absorbed or utilized.

But the crimson glow became the medium through which Lind manipulated things.

He raised his palm and slowly clenched his fist.

Behind them, five sun spears coalesced, radiating astonishing destructive energy!

boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The solar spear bombarded the earth repeatedly, accompanied by rising smoke and flowing magma, leaving behind crystalline, impact-damaged debris.

Linde tried to gather more energy, but his brain sent a signal of fatigue, forcing him to exit the "Solar Posture".

The crimson halo dissipated from behind his head.

"Although magic can be obtained directly from the outside world, it requires enduring a severe mental burden and can only be maintained for about thirty seconds."

Lind was not disappointed.

That's enough time for him to unleash six or seven solar spears.

As one's spirituality grows, the duration of the "solar posture" will only increase.

"The modification of the breathing method is now complete; it's time to give it a new name."

Linde pondered, "The Radiant Heart is because it allows one to condense a heart within the body after reaching its peak. So what should his halo be called?"

The Sun's energy-gathering ring?

It's a pretty good name, but it gives off a slightly cheap vibe, so let's change it.

He opened the wizard's journal and began to record information.

【Name: Crown of the Sun】

[Type: Extraordinary Breathing Technique]

[Description: A knight's breathing technique modified from "Heart of Radiance," requiring training by absorbing solar magic in fields of high-grade sunflowers.]

[Effect: At Iv10, the user learns the feat "Solar Affinity," allowing them to unleash solar fire to aid in combat. At Iv12, they learn "Surpassing Throws," enhancing their throwing abilities. At Iv14, they learn "Solar Stance," temporarily freeing them from mana limitations.]

Ordinary knights, without the Radiant Crystal and Blood of the Earth modifications, cannot reach their peak in one go like Lind.

But it doesn't matter. As long as the sunflower field exists, they will eventually master the power of the Sun Knight by taking things one step at a time.

Having completed the experiment, Lin De returned to the manor with satisfaction.

The only downside is that the Frost Enhancement rune is no longer usable.

His modified body will cause conflict, and the enhancement spell "Hunting of Frostwolf" must be temporarily sealed.

As expected, the price for the Sun Crown Breathing Technique is perfectly acceptable.

Back at the manor, Linde found a large crowd gathered outside the hospital.

It's Grandma Amy's herbal medicine shop.

With the help of Dean Elorin and other girls from the hospital, a brand-new iris herbal shop opens here to provide treatment for patients.

Grandma Amy and Eloline, two elderly women of the same age, sat together chatting.

Wayne and Lilina helped out in the shop, working with Kayla to put various herbs into a special cabinet.

How does it feel to be here?

Linde approached and asked.

"It's great. The environment here is completely different from Fengya City. Everyone is so enthusiastic. Grandma said she feels younger."

Kayla put down the herbs and responded happily.

Although the Flowery Territory is not as vast as the Wind Cliff City.

The people living here possess a unique vitality, their faces filled with hope for the future.

This is something that the residents of Fangxiang Street never had before.

Kayla was influenced by them and gradually grew to like the place.

"Sir, how are you feeling?"

Huai En approached, looking worried.

Linde has not been seen since he returned.

The officials who knew him well knew that their lord must be engrossed in research again, so they dared not disturb him.

"That's why I came to see you; I'm perfectly healthy."

As Lind spoke, he handed the breathing technique of the Sun Crown to Wayne.

"This is the breathing technique of the Sun Knight. Once you have mastered it, the surgery on your right arm should be performed."

In the previous battle to defend against the King of the White Bear, Wayne's right arm was shattered.

To better facilitate his ascension to the extraordinary realm, Linde simply used a support frame for stability.

Now, with the aid of breathing techniques, it's time to begin the transformation.

Fortunately, there was only one person's worth of Blood of the Earth left, and the quantity of Radiant Crystals was also sufficient.

Of course, it's unrealistic to expect Huaien to advance directly to a 1v14 level like I have.

After all, he lacked control over magic and was too greedy; he would only be overwhelmed by magic.

However, through [Bloodline Modification], it is not difficult for Huaien to advance to the extraordinary level and also to master the various specialties of the Sun Knight ahead of time.

This is precisely the significance of transformation: turning expertise into talent, directly engraving it into one's very being.

It can also bring blessings to future generations, giving them an innate advantage over others.
