Chapter 136: Level Eight! (2)

In the end, he could only place his hopes on breathing techniques.

Due to their slow speed, Levi was not interested in cultivating the Giant and the Vortex Beast Breathing Techniques without the secret medicine.

The Black Snake Breathing Technique had only been at level 8 for a few months, and he needed close to 100,000 Proficiency points to reach level 9. Levi estimated that it would be good enough if he could break through to the next level before the end of next year.

Moreover, according to Levi’s speculation, for an excellent breathing technique like the Black Snake Breathing Technique, level 9 should be the maximum.

If he wanted to break through again, he might have to obtain a perfect-grade breathing technique.

The Siren breathing technique still needed two more points of progress to break through the limit, and the Giant Rhinoceros Breathing Technique had just achieved a breakthrough not long ago, so it was still quite far away from level 8.

In the end, Levi’s gaze locked onto the Blood Whale breathing technique.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll focus on cultivating the Blood Whale and temporarily put everything else aside.”

“Try to push the Blood Whale Breathing Technique to the limit within three months!”

Levi returned to the shelter and prepared a lot of food, water, and jerky.

He had Demon Mountain guard Black Snake Castle while Magic Shark guarded the shelter.

Besides the transaction with the Earl of Silver Mountain, Levi would spend the rest of his time cultivating the Blood Whale Breathing Technique.

He wanted to see what level his strength would reach if he could cultivate both breathing techniques to level 8.

In the Month of Grass of the year 1011 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, the serfs of Black Water Valley were busy plowing. The blacksmiths were occupied with forging while soldiers were actively training. Everything was running in an orderly manner.

The outside world was still in chaos.

More territories in the South were drawn into the flames of war.

Relying on the support of the Duke of Montenegro. especially the fertile Tuly

Hill and the rich mineral resources of the Stormy Hill, the two nobles, the Earl of Blood and the Earl of Silversilk, plundered the South.

The combined military power of these two counts was already more substantial than some dukes in the South.

However, the royal family was already gathering a large-scale coalition army. This time, the royal family and the southern nobles would send an army deep into the Northern Territory and take down Montenegro Mountain City!

If the Duke of Montenegro were defeated in this battle, his crimes would cause the entire Montenegro Mountain family to disappear from history.

Of course, if he succeeded, the Montenegro Mountain family would be unprecedentedly glorious.

This was a huge gamble. It was unclear where the Duke of Montenegro’s confidence came from to go against the South and the royal family.

In the entire North, only the Earl of Silver Mountain did not join the Northern

Coalition Army of the Duke of Montenegro. This was because, like Black Water Valley, the Icewind Territory was also a fief directly under the royal family and was not enfeoffed by the Duke of Montenegro.

While Levi was still in seclusion, under the pressure of the royal family, the Earl of Silver Mountain had no choice but to personally lead an army and join the army to attack the Duke of Montenegro.

Presumably, it would not be long before a great battle broke out in the Northern Territory.

After Levi learned of the situation, he frowned slightly. “The flames of war are about to reach the Northern Territory.” “Even the Earl of Silver Mountain is involved in the war.” “Next, no one will care about the Snow Demons.” “It doesn’t matter. Why should I worry about this?”

“Just protect your own life.”

“Fight, fight. I’ll go far away when the Snow Demons arrive and the Northern Territory gets destroyed.”

He would protect Black Water Valley if he could. After all, it could still earn gold coins yearly.

Of course, to Levi, the money the Black Water Valley earned was better than nothing.

Levi used most of the money earned to expand production and the army.

Now, the number of Red Blood Cavalry was close to 150.

The part-time militia had reached 500 people.

The population of the entire territory had also expanded several times.

Even though most of these people were enslaved people he had bought, Levi paid attention to the quality of his soldiers.

The team leader of the cavalry, Sam, had also advanced to a Quasi-Knight and hoped to become an Official Knight in the future.

Besides that, Levi also started cultivating the Giant Rhinoceros Breathing Technique.

In addition to the Siren Breathing Technique, there were two Non-Bloodline Breathing Techniques for the talented soldiers of the Black Water Valley to choose from. Even the great nobles rarely had such conditions.

Over the years, the territory had accumulated more than ten people who had mastered breathing techniques. These people would be the future elite soldiers. Of course, the premise was that the Black Water Valley could survive the future calamity.

Levi was not very worried about the war in the Northern Territory. Worrying was useless.

This kind of momentum was unstoppable.

No matter the outcome, it did not make any difference to Levi. It was neither a good nor bad thing.

The result he was looking forward to the most was that the two sides would fight forever. The flames of war would continue for a few years, and no one

would care about a minor figure like him. He would successfully advance to a legendary knight or become a wizard.

When he became a wizard, they could fight however they wanted. It had nothing to do with him anyway.

If there had to be a winner in this war, it would be better for the South and the royal family to win.

After all, he and the Duke of Montenegro were irreconcilable enemies.

There was still room for negotiation on the side of the royal family.

In the following days, Levi continued to cultivate.

He would also take advantage of his trips to Silver Mountain Castle to deliver goods at the end of the month to inquire about the war between the North and the South at the Shining Tavern in Icewind City.

Judging from the current situation, the scale of the alliance army in this Northern Expedition was almost comparable to the Millennium Holy War in the kingdom’s history.

In any case, from the current situation, Levi could not see any hope of the Duke of Montenegro winning.

Maybe he could control the evil spirits, but the evil spirits could kill the people. The most important thing was to execute the decapitation operation.

It was not easy to play a decisive role in the overall situation.

“That rascal Montenegro Mountain, you must not die in this Northern Expedition. When my breathing techniques reach their maximum, it will be your death!”

Levi had a bellyful of hatred for the Duke of Montenegro to vent.

He wanted to take revenge for Sir Fred!

That day was not too far away.

Although the Duke of Montenegro was mysterious, his true strength was inferior to the Fist of the Empire.

Levi conservatively estimated that his current strength should be like the Duke of Montenegro.

After all, he had many trump cards, and his breathing techniques were comprehensive.

However, the Duke of Montenegro had two things that he feared.

One was Montenegro Mountain, known as the “Devil Duke.” It was rumored that he could control evil spirits, but this was very uncertain.

Secondly, the Duke of Montenegro was mighty. He might have several grand knights under his command, not to mention his vast army.

He would have torn the Duke of Montenegro into pieces if he was not afraid of this.

“Whatever. Cultivation is more important. The Blood Whale Breathing Technique has reached its maximum level. Next is the transformation. With the experience of the Black Snake transformation, this transformation should be very smooth.”

In the past two months, Levi had given up on other breathing techniques and skills and focused on the Blood Whale Breathing Technique. His hard work had finally paid off.

At the end of the Month of Flowers, the Blood Whale Breathing Technique reached the maximum of level 7.

[Blood Whale Breathing Technique: Level 7 (Maximum, breakthrough available), Special Effect: Top-tier Endurance]

Like the Black Snake Seed, the Blood Whale Seed needed to transform to reach level 8.

“Let’s begin. This time, we should be familiar with it.”

In Levi’s heart, the Blood Whale, about the same size as the Black Snake, opened its mouth wide and breathed in black gas.

The black gas spread out and wrapped around the Blood Whale layer by layer.

Ultimately, it became a black cocoon, constantly trembling as if nurturing new

life.

Levi officially began the transformation of the Blood Whale Seed.

The Black Snake Seed took a few days to transform successfully the last time.

This time, cracks appeared on the Blood Whale cocoon on the second day of the transformation. A faint, empty, and lonely whale song sounded in Levi’s mind, and he revealed a happy expression.

“Blood Whale, level 8!”
