The Wizard: Grinding Experience Starting with Knight Breathing Techniques 42

Chapter 0042 [Beginner Speed], Swift as a Cheetah! (Requesting Reads)

Li Wei didn’t know if he was the only one possessing two Life Seeds, but even if there were others, they were definitely few and far between.

After his excitement subsided, Li Wei opened his proficiency panel:

Li Wei————

Frost Wolf Breathing Technique: Tier 4 (Limit), Special Effect: Beginner Speed

…

“Hmm? It’s already at its limit at Tier 4? As expected, basic-level breathing techniques are really inferior.”

Li Wei suddenly felt a little disappointed. Now he finally understood how important a good breathing technique was.

The Black Snake Breathing Technique, Tier 4 was merely the beginning of the path to becoming a full-fledged Knight; there was still plenty of potential to be unlocked in the future.

However, this Frost Wolf Breathing Technique, at Tier 4, was both the beginning and the end of his Knightly path.

This limit, for now, was unbreakable. It was the inherent upper limit of the technique itself, and Li Wei couldn’t solve it for the time being.

Therefore, a Frost Wolf Knight could, at best, only achieve low-level Knight strength, unless he switched to another breathing technique.

“But having Beginner Speed isn’t a waste of training.”

Li Wei muttered to himself.

[Beginner Speed: Your attack speed, movement speed, reaction speed, and other agility-related attributes are three times the average human standard. You are more likely to dodge attacks from enemies.]

“Three times the speed of an ordinary person, not bad. I’ll test it out later.” Li Wei thought the special effect sounded pretty good, and he had achieved the purpose of learning this breathing technique.

He looked at his other skills again. The Black Snake Breathing Technique and Golden Cross Slash were still a long way from breaking through, and there was no hope in the short term.

His forging skill had been neglected for the past three months due to his busy schedule of digging tunnels and cultivating. Otherwise, his forging skill should have reached Tier 4 by now. This directly led to a decrease in armor production compared to before.

But there was nothing he could do about it. Li Wei only had 24 hours a day, and he also needed to eat, drink, and sleep; he couldn’t possibly manage everything at once.

“Once I get my forging skill to Tier 4, I’ll sell another batch of armor, save enough for 800 gold coins, and then I’ll go out,” Li Wei thought. After all, his forging skill was almost at Tier 4, and he really wanted to see what special effects Tier 4 forging would bring.

Returning to the castle through the tunnel, Li Wei brought Sir Fred to an open field. He planned to first test the effects of his newly acquired [Beginner Speed] special effect.

This test would cover running speed, attack speed, and reaction ability, allowing Li Wei to get a preliminary understanding of his current strength and avoid any miscalculations that could lead to setbacks during actual combat.

Running speed was the easiest to test. Li Wei first measured a track of about 100 meters. Then, leaning forward, his leg muscles bulged, wisps of white air emanating from his pores, even emitting a faint hissing sound like steam.

Bang.

Li Wei fired his starting gun in his mind.

Boom!

He shot off like an arrow, almost a illusion.

Sir Fred stared at Li Wei, slightly surprised. Even from his perspective as a mid-level Knight, Young Master Li Wei’s burst of speed was extraordinary.

Five breaths, about five seconds.

Li Wei reached the 100-meter mark.

At the 100-meter mark, Li Wei panted, quickly recovering to normal.

“100 meters, five seconds!”

“This is too outrageous.”

Li Wei was shocked.

He vaguely remembered that in his past life, when he was in university, the passing score for the 100-meter sprint was 14.9 seconds, and the perfect score was 12.5 seconds.

He didn’t know the average running speed of ordinary humans in this world, but due to malnutrition, except for a few Knights, the overall speed was most likely slower than in his past life.

After all, Bolt, a monstrous ultimate sprinting genius from his past life, continuously broke the world records he had set himself, reaching 9.58 seconds.

Looking at the entire mammalian world, in terms of sprinting, only a few animals like cheetahs could run faster than him. But cheetahs certainly lacked his stamina. Limited by their underdeveloped heat dissipation system, a cheetah’s extreme running state is difficult to sustain for more than a few minutes.

As for him, although his speed was still a bit slower than a cheetah’s, he estimated that he could maintain his extreme state for about ten minutes.

“Too strong! This is just a basic-level breathing technique, and reaching its limit brings such a powerful effect.” Li Wei was excited.

“If I can find a superior-level, or even perfect-level speed-type breathing technique, and cultivate it to its limit, how fast would I be?”

“Okay, okay, stop fantasizing, let’s continue the test.”

Next, Li Wei planned to test his attack speed and evasion skills.

As the saying goes, among all martial arts, nothing can withstand, only speed can break through!

The Frost Wolf Breathing Technique was precisely such a breathing technique that trained agility and flexibility in multiple aspects.

“Fred, you can use your full strength to spar with me now. Don’t worry about hurting me. I want to see what my true strength has reached, and where my limits are!”

Li Wei said confidently to Sir Fred.

“Young Master, you said it yourself,” Sir Fred smiled.

“Come on, attack me fiercely!” Li Wei said, drawing his sword, Frost’s Sorrow ready!

“Alright, if you can’t hold on anymore, Young Master, just call it off.”

Sir Fred’s expression turned serious as he drew his Dawnbreaker!

Then he attacked Li Wei.

Sir Fred didn’t use the Golden Cross Slash, a purely lethal sword technique; he used basic swordsmanship.

Li Wei also used basic swordsmanship.

The two full-fledged Knights moved and weaved across the open ground, their attacks sometimes pouring down like a storm, and sometimes they would dodge and maintain a steady standoff.

The clang of steel echoed through the castle.

Unknowingly, Li Wei and Sir Fred had exchanged hundreds of moves. They seemed evenly matched, neither side having the upper hand.

“Fred, please don’t go easy on me. In a real battle, the enemy won’t go easy on me.” Li Wei said seriously.

Fred chuckled bitterly: “Alright, but I’m also nearing my limit. Young Master, your strength is not much different from mine, a mid-level Knight.”

Then, Sir Fred suddenly exerted himself. The Serpent Eagle Breathing Technique he cultivated was also known for its speed, and it was even faster than Li Wei’s Frost Wolf Breathing Technique.

The Serpent Eagle, a legendary bird of prey that preys on all kinds of ferocious venomous snakes, possesses long talons and the agility to dodge the attacks of swift venomous snakes.

Therefore, even if Li Wei gave it his all, Sir Fred could easily handle it. Of course, the most important reason was the difference in their realms. After all, Sir Fred had entered the Knight realm more than ten years ago and was a mid-level Knight, while Li Wei had only just entered, lacking experience.

Finally, Fred sheathed his long sword, panting, and exclaimed:

“Congratulations, Young Master. Your strength has far exceeded my expectations. It won’t be long before you surpass this old bone.”
