The Wizard: Grinding Experience Starting with Knight Breathing Techniques 65

Chapter 0065: Fifth-Tier Black Snake, [Intermediate Defense]. (Seeking more readers!)

Holy Radiance Era 1007, North Wind Month.

Fred could almost walk now, putting Li Wei’s mind at ease. His exorbitantly expensive holy medicine hadn’t been a waste. Sometimes, the Church was surprisingly reliable—not entirely useless after all.

The potential enemies Li Wei had been vigilant against for months hadn’t appeared. This puzzled him. Had they forgotten about him? He was utterly confused.

Meanwhile, after Fred woke up, the purchase of Blood-Red Warhorses was put on the agenda. At the end of the month, Fred’s friend delivered the five Blood-Red Warhorses Li Wei had bought.

Upon arrival, Li Wei immediately attempted to tame these five warhorses using his peak beast-taming skills. With his innate understanding of wild beasts, while he couldn’t achieve the same level of rapport as he had with his three brothers (whom he had raised from a young age), he could still understand the reasons for their untamed nature.

With Li Wei’s current beast-taming skills, he immediately applied the right medicine—a combination of gentle and forceful methods—and within a short time, he successfully tamed one Blood-Red Warhorse. The others were quickly tamed as well.

“It was that easy. Not difficult at all. This whole ‘Blood Rage Curse’ is just an excuse for those incompetent horse trainers,” Li Wei declared.

While instructing Xiaomi Lan and the others to prepare the iron armor needed for the warhorse’s barding, Li Wei began purchasing more horses. Thanks to a steady income from his blacksmithing and the large sum he’d acquired from raiding Bernard Knight’s house, Li Wei had enough funds for a long time. Black Water Valley was thriving.

Holy Radiance Era 1007, the Winter’s Month arrived.

The wind was piercing, the atmosphere bleak and murderous. Li Wei’s imagined enemies still hadn’t come, and he was no longer willing to wait passively. He would take the initiative; this confidence stemmed from his enhanced strength.

That’s right, Li Wei’s Black Snake Breathing Method had reached the fifth tier.

Li Wei—

Black Snake Breathing Method: Fifth Tier (1/30000), Special Effect: Intermediate Defense

…

The Black Snake Breathing Method, the most difficult breathing method to cultivate, Li Wei’s only excellent-grade breathing method, had finally reached the fifth tier. The previous “Beginner Defense” special effect had been upgraded to “Intermediate Defense”.

Correspondingly, the black aura generated by Li Wei’s Black Snake bloodline had spread from his arms to his head and neck. He estimated that after reaching the sixth tier, it should spread to his entire upper body, just like that Iron Mountain fellow.

However, the current level was already sufficient. Li Wei usually layered his upper body with breastplates, chainmail, and leather armor. Unless it was someone as strong as Iron Mountain, it was unlikely that a single blow could pierce through these defenses and severely injure him.

With Li Wei’s current “Beginner Speed” and “Beginner Vibration Perception,” unless it was a knight specializing in speed, it was extremely difficult for ordinary knights to attack him.

In short, whether in defense, strength, speed, or even the rare attribute of perception, Li Wei far surpassed ordinary people. In this era, nobody else would be simultaneously cultivating so many breathing methods and having all of them reach the fourth tier!

The combined effect of Li Wei’s four attributes wasn’t merely the sum of four low-tier knights. It was a qualitative change!

“Now, if I met Iron Mountain again, I wouldn’t need poison or my three brothers’ help. I could easily crush him, pulverize him! And Iron Mountain’s strength is already rare among the Death Knell’s Chorus; besides the Death Knell Five Shadows, few are stronger than him.”

“In other words, except for the Death Knell Five Shadows, I fear no one.”

“Even if I encountered a true Great Knight, the outcome would be uncertain depending on my skills. No, that’s too boastful. If I meet a Great Knight, I should still run away.”

Besides the Black Snake Breathing Method, Li Wei’s Human-Faced Spider Breathing Method and Sea Demon Breathing Method had also seen minor improvements. The Golden Cross Slash had also progressed. His blacksmithing and alchemy skills improved slowly because he hadn’t had time to dedicate himself to them recently.

Everything was now in place, and Fred could walk. Li Wei no longer wanted to remain in his territory, passively waiting for assassination. Why couldn’t he take the initiative to assassinate others?

He’d already chosen his target: the Death Knell’s Chorus base in Icewind City.

Whoever commissioned the Death Knell’s Chorus, since the organization had repeatedly caused trouble for him, they should be prepared to face Li Wei’s revenge.

In addition to the Icewind City base, Iron Mountain’s map also showed other bases, but many were too far away, some even outside the kingdom’s borders. He planned to visit them one by one when he had the chance, letting the Death Knell’s Chorus experience the feeling of being targeted!

The best way to eliminate danger was to eliminate all potential threats to his life!

Li Wei arranged his territorial affairs. Although Fred couldn’t fight, maintaining order was no problem for him. He also transferred control of the three brothers to Fred, ordering them to obey Fred completely for the next few days. If anything happened in the territory, the three brothers should be able to handle it.

Li Wei then crafted more batches of “Human-Faced Spider’s Breath” and a small vial of “Human-Faced Spider’s Tears” in the shelter, along with a few “Human-Faced Spider’s Kisses.” He carried these poisons for emergencies. His alchemy skill level also increased significantly.

After making thorough preparations, Li Wei donned the white wolf mask and, under the cover of night, quietly left Black Water Valley.

With Li Wei’s current pace, within a few days, he arrived at the familiar Icewind City. It was the dead of winter; a blizzard was raging, and many frozen corpses lay in the streets, uncollected. Li Wei frowned. These people seemed to be refugees.

“Could there have been a major war somewhere recently?”

Li Wei had been engrossed in his cultivation and oblivious to external affairs. He didn’t immediately go to the Death Knell’s Chorus base in Icewind City but went to the Shining Tavern instead.

In the tavern, scantily clad women solicited customers even in the dead of winter. The bouncer, upon seeing the man in the white wolf mask, offered him a dark beer.

“Drink this Snowflake Beer, and may you possess the courage of a Snowflake Knight to venture forth into the world!”
