Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

These secret techniques were bait, and the great entities were the fishermen.

If one were to truly study them, they would eventually fall into an abyss of eternal damnation, destroying their own future.

Therefore, the Wizard Council typically classifies such secret techniques as forbidden.

Once discovered, they are to be destroyed.

However, there are always some who take risks, which is why these forbidden techniques are continually violated.

After putting away the Sacred Text, Levi reviewed his findings and discovered that the Fire Crocodile City Master had quite a few valuable items.

“Fifth-level Magnetic Fire Ore… I need this ore to refine the sword mold. It’s as if the universe is sending me exactly what I need.”

He held a piece of fire-element ore radiating powerful magnetic energy, its dark red hue evident.

In addition to the ore, the old man’s space also contained numerous herbs and a pile of useless wizard tools.

“Seems like he was also someone who plundered and killed… Wait, why am I saying ‘also’?”

“This wizard tool is made with materials and craftsmanship of fifth-circle quality, but its function seems to be for storage. Could it contain a Truth Oddity?”

Frost had formed around the bottle from the condensation of water vapor, indicating its extreme coldness.

After a moment, Levi tried to open the bottle.

“Whoosh!”

With a sharp sound of air being sliced, a white light shot out at incredible speed.

But Levi was prepared. All the arrays in his retreat lit up instantly.

Behind him, three thousand feather blades swirled and encircled.

A small white ice cicada darted about wildly within the arrays, its cries piercingly sharp.

A large hand reached out and caught the ice cicada.

Levi’s eyes widened.

He stared at the ice-blue Truth Runes on the ice cicada, which were more profound than ordinary Earth-Grade runes.

“What kind of Truth Oddity is this? It feels like it could be Sky-Grade, and it somewhat resembles the [Summer Cicada’s Chirp].”

He was well-versed in the Illustrated Book of Oddities. After comparing, the closest match was indeed the [Summer Cicada’s Chirp].

However, it was clear that this was a frost-element oddity, while the [Summer Cicada’s Chirp] was a fire-element oddity.

Therefore, it should not be the same type.

“Let’s check the other spoils; there might be clues about this oddity.”

Suppressing his excitement, Levi continued searching.

Inside the storage ring were also over a million Aether Stones.

Additionally, there were some inherited knowledge, such as the Meditation Art.

Levi opened the Meditation Art and looked at the introduction.

This was the ancestral meditation method of the Blood Fire Demon Tower, the former employer of the blood vampire wizard he had subdued in the Realm of Crimson.

A dark wizard organization that had already been wiped out.

“Was the Fire Crocodile City Master also a dark wizard, or was he possessed by one?”

Levi couldn’t figure it out and didn’t care to ponder such irrelevant matters.

On the last page of the Meditation Art, he finally found some useful information.

It was Cold Cicada Transformation Method.

His expression tightened, and he quickly read through it, then suddenly burst into laughter.

“Indeed, it’s a Sky-Grade Truth Oddity, the Cry of the Cicada!”

According to the description, the Cry of the Cicada had several effects.

It could birth a fourth-circle frost talent, enhance the power of frost spells and increase frost element affinity talent, improving training aptitude. It could even have a small chance of giving birth to a special talent.

However, these were not the most significant aspects. The most crucial function of the Cry of the Cicada was: The wizards of the Burning School of Thought could use it to harness the power of the intersection of ice and fire to shatter spiritual force crystals, thereby condensing the primordial soul.

After reading this, Levi furrowed his brow and muttered to himself.

“I’m already planning to shatter the internal force crystals. This external method of shattering crystals seems of little use to me. I’ll keep it for now. Perhaps the Holy Infant might find it useful. Even if the Holy Infant doesn’t need it, it could still be useful for some important subordinates in the future.”

Levi wasn’t sure if his own advancement to the primordial soul would synchronize with the Holy Infant. After all, the difference between fifth-circle and primordial soul was enormous. The Holy Infant could synchronize with fifth-circle abilities, but that didn’t mean it could synchronize with primordial soul.

In simple terms, the Holy Infant was a manifestation of a Sky-Grade Oddity, not an omnipotent being.

In any case, as a Sky-Grade Oddity, the Cry of the Cicada undoubtedly had its applications.

“Counting the Cry of the Cicada and the Morning Star-level Thunder God’s Finger in Hundred Flowers’ possession, I’ve unwittingly collected eight oddities. Except for the metal faction, I have them all.”

Levi suddenly felt that achieving the maximum of 81 souls might not be impossible…

After organizing the spoils, a golden-furred great rat suddenly emerged from Levi’s nostrils.

It twitched its nose, sniffed the spoils, and then chittered before flying off in a certain direction.

Levi’s expression shifted slightly, and he followed discreetly.

“Could it be that I missed some treasure?”

On the sea surface, Jin continued to fly.

Levi followed closely behind, searching carefully.

Jin’s speed was relatively slow.

By dawn the next day, Levi followed Jin to an island several thousand miles away.

“A volcanic island…”

After entering the island, Jin flew straight towards a valley.

Levi assessed the danger perception and found no immediate threats.

However, with his knowledge of arrays, he could tell that the island had some shallow protective and alarm arrays.

“This must be the Fire Crocodile City Master’s training ground. It’s right next to me, and it seems to have been inhabited for a while… Probably attracted by the astral soul phenomena I summoned.”

Levi murmured, having analyzed the situation quite accurately.

He breached the arrays and entered, carefully searching with his spiritual force.

Aside from finding some worthless materials in the Fire Crocodile City Master’s retreat, he found nothing of value.

He arrived at the valley where Jin was.

At this moment, Jin was perched on a not-so-tall jujube tree, munching on a plump, round black date.

Seeing this, Levi’s eyes narrowed.

“A dead soul date! This is a precious item that directly increases spiritual force! Wait… Isn’t this the treasure Simon took from the Witch’s Family squad some time ago? So it was taken by the Blood Demon Tower Master, and that’s why Simon ended up hiding in this desolate place.”

Dead soul dates, similar to Levi’s previous Iron Tree, were extremely rare plants.

Even primordial soul wizards would be tempted by them.

Dead soul dates had very demanding growth conditions and were typically found in Hell and the Underworld.

“This flowerpot-like device can replicate the growth environment of the dead soul date—truly remarkable. I’ll research it further when I return and try to transplant the dead soul date to the Ancient Banyan Fairyland.”

Levi promptly picked up the dead soul date and gave Jin a kiss.

Jin carried the date and perched on top of Levi’s head.

“You little thing, you’re quite useful.”

The man and the rat flew back to Dragon Palace Island.

…

In the blink of an eye, half a year passed swiftly.

In the Holy Brilliance Calendar of 1209, during the Month of Winter, after six months, Levi had finally completed the construction of the fifth Rune Language model in his mind and had cultivated it to level 2.

It must be said, the rune named “Moon” had given Levi a tremendous surprise.

He had originally thought it was just a regular rune to enhance physical attributes.

But in reality, it was far from ordinary.

Levi, Moon Rune: Level 2 (1/5000), Special Effect: Lunar Rabbit Star Power (Level 2).

…

Lunar Rabbit Star Power (Level 2): Communicates with the lunar rabbit star, amplifying your lifespan by 10% based on your original lifespan.

Indeed, the special effect of this rune was as incredible as the Lovers Rune, if not more so.

It could extend one’s life with a percentage increase!

At this moment, Levi realized that he was getting closer to his dream of eternal life.
