Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method

Chapter 408: Wizard Tower, Mark of Truth, Legendary Golden Horn! (5)

Of course, such fortuitous encounters were not always good. An intermediate wizard named Pucci once triggered the Mark of Truth in the Star Sea. Rumor has it that he obtained the secret technique of a Grand Wizard, Step of Ascension. After that, Pucci went crazy and became a mad wizard more dangerous than some dark wizards. He kept muttering, “I understand! I understand! Hahaha! I will become a god! ”

In the end, Pucci was imprisoned in the Abyss City’s underwater prison in the Star Sea for leading an evil cult in the Wizard World. Later, he seemed to have died suddenly in prison. The secret technique of the Step of Ascension also went missing. The evil cult he left behind still had many followers, and they continued causing trouble. They became one of the factions of the dark wizards.

Miraculous incidents occurred where high-level wizards fell. The wizards compared these phenomena to whale fall in nature. They named these phenomena Wizard Fall.

The discovery of the Wizard Fall phenomenon made wizards yearn even more for the towers of high-level wizards. In some closely-knit wizard communities, even if the high-level wizards were traveling in another plane, they would do their best to return to their wizard towers when they felt their time was coming. Their deaths would bring more value to the wizard towers, and they could leave their last mark on the younger generation of the Wizard World.

All the wizards in a wizard tower were closely connected under its ecosystem. These wizard towers still existed in many wizard factions. There were strict requirements and restrictions on the recruitment and expulsion of members. After the tower master advanced to legendary, the wizard tower would rely on the powerful spiritual force of the Legendary Wizard to transform into a Legendary Demiplane. The Legendary Wizard was like the God of Creation of this Demiplane, and the other wizards of the wizard tower could also obtain various benefits. In short, a rising tide lifts all boats.

Wizard towers were an unfamiliar concept for Levi. He only knew a little about it through some General Education classes. Kankur’s tiny wizard tower was very quiet, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the market outside.

"Sir Levi, do you want some wine or any other drink?” Kankur asked.

"I’m good. Just take out the item you want to barter,” replied Levi as he smiled. A red-haired witch in a loose nightgown came down from the second floor.

"Do we have a guest?” the witch asked.

"This is my partner, Tina,” Kankur said with a smile. “She’s an official wizard of the Burning School of Thought.”

Levi smiled. From the looks of it, Kankur wanted to buy the Fire Shield for his wife.

Kankur took some items from his storage bag and laid them on the ground.

Among them were first-circle Wizard Tools, spell books, potions, and casting materials.

"Sir Levi, does anything here catch your eye?”

Levi carefully examined the items on the ground. He did not need more Wizard Tools, as he had plenty of them. Levi looked through the spell books and found spell books from all factions. Kankur was indeed a dark wizard hunter. He should have obtained these spell books from killing dark wizards. Suddenly, Levi noticed a spell book with a green cover titled Nature’s Secret Language.

"This is a spell book of First-Ring Spells I obtained from killing a dark wizard from the School of Spiritualism. It is a rare item in the Realm of Azure Cloud. It should be enough to exchange for your Fire Shield,” Kankur said.

"Alright, it’s settled then,” Levi said. He had long wanted to learn the School of Spiritualism’s Beast Taming spell but never found a spell book. Now that he had come across one, he naturally would not let this opportunity slip past him. Levi wanted to learn Beast Taming mainly to cultivate his breathing techniques. He did not expect the beasts to provide him with much combat power.

Levi said, “My name is Geralt. I am a wizard grocer. I often come here to purchase things. If you have some good things in the future, we can establish a long-term cooperation.”

Kankur was a dark wizard hunter. There were all kinds of dark wizards, so he might be able to find something good.

"No problem. You are a straightforward person,” Kankur said happily.

Levi bid farewell to the couple and left the Blacksail Wizard Market with his newly acquired spell book.

With his current spiritual force, he could not learn any spells in Nature’s Secret Language. He needed to accumulate 27 points before he could cultivate the spells. He was just preparing for a rainy day.

The trip to the Blacksail Wizard Market had temporarily brought Levi’s Aether Stones count up to 7,000. However, he still felt that more was needed.

Pharmacy, alchemy, and arrays all required enormous funds to sustain.

Levi mumbled, “I have to find time to visit Area 8 and get registered as a

First-Circle Pharmacist. That way, I can sell my potions in the Celestial Circle

Shop and earn money to support my expenditure.”

However, Levi planned to wait until he advanced to a senior First-Circle Wizard and became stronger before going to Area 8. The money he had was enough for now.

It was the Year 1030 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, the Month of the Northern Wind.

During this period, he refined a zero-circle array called Spider Web Alert.

This array was based on the design of the spider web. Once someone accidentally touched the array, it would alert the owner, Levi.

Levi had refined 10 of these arrays and set them up all over Black Fire Island.

He had even installed several around his cave abode.

This way, when immersed in the Meditation Arts and could not sense the outside world, he would still be alerted if anyone accidentally entered his territory. This would significantly increase his safety.

He had successfully raised his array proficiency to level 3 by refining this array.

[Levi]

[Array: Level 3 (234/10000)]

Levi sighed, “I’m getting closer and closer to level 4, but I’m getting poorer and poorer. It takes money to gain proficiency points so quickly.”

Levi looked at the remaining 3,000 Aether Stones and fell into deep thought.

He thought, “Why don’t I just become a dark wizard hunter? With my ability, I should be able to do well. Forget it. If I do it too often, I might expose myself.” Levi shook his head and dismissed the idea.

His current spiritual force was only 26 points, 4 points away from the standard 30 points for a first-circle senior wizard. It would take him another two to three years to break through. He had been actively looking for a better meditation supplementary potion formula recently. Unfortunately, such a thing was too rare, and he had not found any.

By the end of the year, although Levi had reached a bottleneck on his path as a wizard and could not break through for the time being, his breathing techniques had progressed smoothly and considerably. He had finally reached the legendary realm in the Golden Horn Breathing Technique he had obtained from Emperor Mu.

Inside the cave, Levi stood before a mirror, looking at the golden horn protruding from his forehead. The horn was about a foot long and seemed to contain mysterious energy. However, Levi had yet to thoroughly study it, so he could not utilize this energy.

It was a legendary organ born from the Golden Horn Breathing Technique. Levi called it the Golden Horn. So far, Levi’s only use for it was to throw people. This horn was extremely sturdy, as if it was made of bright gold, and was not afraid of being damaged.

[Golden Horn Breathing Technique: Level 11 (Maximum), Special Effect:

Golden Scale (Solid State)]

The Golden Horn Breathing Technique and the Black Snake Breathing Technique were practically twins. Even at level 11, both had only one special effect, one with Black Scales and the other with Golden scales. The defense of the solid Golden Scales was similar to that of the Black Scales, comparable to the strongest first-ring defensive spell. In Levi’s opinion, this might be the unique characteristic of the Black Snake and Golden Horn Breathing Techniques, which pursued the ultimate defense. Therefore, Levi had few thoughts about activating their second special effects. He would just let fate take its course.

After reaching the maximum of the Golden Horn Breathing Technique, just as Levi had expected, the functions of the Black Scales and the Golden Scales completely overlapped, and there was no way to stack them. Therefore, he prepared to assemble and mutate these two breathing techniques..
