Tuten, this brawny man nodded vigorously, like a chicken pecking at rice. He opened his mouth wide and swallowed the soul of the Pale Shadow.

“How satisfying! The soul of a grand knight tastes delightful,” exclaimed Tuten.

“Let’s go back,” Levi said.

Upon hearing this, Tuten promptly returned to the snuff bottle and closed the lid himself.

Meanwhile, Levi searched through the Pale Shadow’s corpse, looting his belongings. He found a small bag of gold coins, some hidden weapons, poison powder, and a small piece of parchment.

In the end, he didn’t find the breathing technique inheritance diagram, but he did discover something else he desired. The parchment didn’t contain the breathing technique inheritance diagram. Rather, it held a secret skill, a technique to master a higher level of black gas usage, the Black Devil Blade.

“This is it!” Levi’s excitement grew.

One of the main reasons he had been interested in the Pale Shadow was precisely this black gas secret technique. He hadn’t expected the Pale Shadow to carry it with him.

After putting away the item, Levi preserved the Pale Shadow and turned him into a living dead.

“I’ll name you Specter,” Levi said. “On one hand, it was in memory of the deceased Pale Shadow, and on the other, Specter suits a speed-oriented grand knight better. Shan, Hai, and Sha were all strength-based grand knights.

However, Specter, as the only speed-type grand knight living dead created by Levi, complemented the speed advantage of my grand knight army, making it a fitting name for him.

The Pale Shadow, in full force, had proven to be faster than Levi’s Transcendent Speed, most likely due to his superior breathing technique quality compared to Levi’s Siren Breathing Technique. That’s why Levi quickly used the Seal of Dragon Might to capture him. Otherwise, it would have been quite challenging.

“Let’s return to the city,” Levi said, leading the current Four Generals of the MO family toward Flower City.

Meanwhile, chaos reigned in the territory of the Scorpion knights. Someone had discovered the corpse of a Scorpion knight in a public bathhouse. It was naked, pitiful, and covered with poisonous scorpions.

Additionally, they found a Bird of Death Mask.

Those knowledgeable about the matter knew that this was the work of the Bird of Death’s Voice.

This was the doing of an assassin hired by the Duke of Montenegro, the Scorpion Family’s enemy.

The successors of the Scorpion Family expressed strong dissatisfaction and condemnation towards the Duke of Montenegro for resorting to hiring assassins. They were determined to assemble a new army and fight against the Duke of Montenegro to the bitter end.

However, without the restraining presence of the Scorpion knights, the

Scorpion Family was also in turmoil. Many people wanted to take the throne of the family head.

The world was now in complete chaos, and the once-revered rules and systems were being abandoned by numerous ambitious figures. In this tumultuous era, they all aimed to make their voices heard, to reshape the world, and to establish their legacies.

The news of the Duke of Montenegro’s involvement in hiring assassins to target southern nobles quickly spread among other noble families. Everyone couldn’t help but marvel at the Duke of Montenegro’s ruthless and extreme methods.

He had forsaken all aspects of nobility and knightly honor, transforming into a full-fledged tyrant, a devil!

Meanwhile, Levi, who had easily dispatched the Scorpion knight, had returned to Flower City and resumed his monotonous journey of cultivation. During this period, amidst his cultivation, Levi also studied the Black Devil Blade.

The origin of this black gas combat technique, obtained by the Pale Shadow, remained unknown, but after studying it, Levi found it immensely gratifying.

Through the contents of the booklet, Levi discovered the various ways black gas could be utilized.

The other grand knights were mere novices compared to the creator of the Black Devil Blade when it came to developing and employing black gas. They barely scratched the surface, wasting the true potential of this powerful resource.

Black gas, as an extraordinary power within a knight’s grasp, offered an array of possibilities to explore!

The Black Devil Blade’s usage of the black gas was mainly divided into three stages, they were black gas condensing blades, black gas leaving the body, and evil spirit lingering!

Among them, the first stage was relatively easy to cultivate. Under normal circumstances, a grand knight could master it after one or two years of cultivation.

The second stage, where the black gas left the body, required three to five years.

The first two stages were relatively straightforward.

However, it was the third stage, where the evil spirits lingering occurred, that proved to be particularly challenging. The Pale Shadow had practiced the black gas secret technique for over a decade, mastering the first two stages to perfection, yet he had never managed to grasp the secret technique of the evil spirit lingering.

Evil Spirit lingering was the most potent move of the Black Devil Blade.

This technique allowed the black gas within the body to be released, manifesting behind the user as a black gas incarnation. The appearance of the Black Gas Incarnation would be randomly generated based on the user’s innermost desires.

The Black Gas Incarnation was entirely composed of black gas. It would manifest behind the user during battles and would conceal itself within the user’s body when not in combat.

The strength of the Black Gas Incarnation depended on the user’s abilities. When it materialized behind the user, it gave the sensation of an evil spirit emerging from the shadows.

Hence, the creator named it “Evil Spirit Lingering”!

The primary purpose behind developing this secret technique was to enable grand Imights to combat evil spirits effectively.

Imagine having had a horrifying doppelganger, entirely composed of black gas, which was an extension of yourself, fighting alongside you. When released during battle, it essentially created an extra powerful force out of thin air.

Despite cultivating for more than ten years, the Pale Shadow had yet to reach the threshold of evil spirit lingering..
