Chapter 66 Advanced Agility, Pointed Head
Before long, Lin Wei's two old-fashioned breathing techniques won.
In the basement, the candlelight flickered, casting a dim yellow glow on the surrounding walls, and a faint dampness filled the air. A seagull swallowed a dying crow whole with swift and decisive movements, while a sailfish chewed on seaweed, making a crunching sound.
[Seagull Breathing Technique Experience Points +2888, Seagull → Flying Gull, Seagull Breathing Technique converted to Flying Gull Breathing Technique (Superior), Breathing Technique cap increased, cap requirement (1/5)]
【Seagull Breathing Technique: Tier 5 (3500/20000), Effect: Intermediate Agility, Maximum Requirement (1/5)】
"I've mastered the Seagull Breathing Technique, and my basic attributes have improved considerably. A superior breathing technique is truly powerful." Lin Wei clenched his fist, feeling the power surging through his body, and a smile curved his lips.
[Sailfish Breathing Technique Experience +2888, Sailfish → Blue Sailfish, Sailfish Breathing Technique converted to Blue Sailfish Breathing Technique (Medium Grade), Breathing Technique cap increased, cap requirement (1/3)]
[Blue Flagfish Breathing Technique: Level 5 (3200/20000), Effect: Intermediate Swimming Skill, Maximum Requirement (1/3)]
"I've become a blue marlin now." Lin Wei looked at the many blue scales that had grown on his hands, which looked like jewels in the candlelight. He couldn't help but reach out and touch them, his eyes filled with curiosity. "I must say, it's quite elegant. I wonder how comfortable it would be to swim in the ocean."
Lin Wei rested for a while, stretched, loosened his muscles and bones, and then continued his cultivation.
"Prince Maple Leaf sent me a message the other day saying that Prince Swan and the others are frantically searching for a Lion Knight, and they even told me about it as a joke." Lin Wei frowned slightly, his expression becoming serious. "They might actually find me one day. Before that, I need to learn a few more sixth-level breathing techniques."
"The Moonlight Werewolf Wright that I subdued earlier is now devouring werewolves in the wild on my orders. He should be a Great Knight soon. If I train him well, he might become my agent in the human world. Werewolves live much longer than humans." Lin Wei stroked his chin, pondering.
Lin Wei paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and continued to focus on his cultivation.
……
A month later, during a break from his cultivation practice, Lin Wei sat on the floor in the basement, surrounded by piles of miscellaneous cultivation items.
[Spiral Arrow Technique experience points +17, after being tripled by Deep Blue Surface, experience points +51]
[Spiral Arrow Technique: Tier 4 → Tier 5 (11/20000), Effect: Medium Penetration]
[Intermediate Penetration: Your arrows have enhanced penetration, causing deeper wounds and some damage to light armor.]
"His archery skills have improved too; I've neglected them all these years." Lin Wei's eyes lit up, and he quickly drew his bow and nocked an arrow. With a "whoosh," the arrow easily pierced through the armor he was aiming at, embedding itself in the wall.
"The power has increased considerably. I couldn't even shoot through it before, but now I can. I estimate that I can damage the Grand Knight with my archery skills alone." Lin Wei nodded in satisfaction.
Having more skills is never a bad thing. Although he uses archery less now, long-range skills are still rare, and nine out of ten knights don't have them.
"I still have 15,000 points left in my Seagull Breathing Technique. I'll break through that first." Lin Wei entered a meditative state again.
【Seagull Breathing Technique: Tier 5 (5000/20000), Effect: Intermediate Agility, Maximum Requirement (1/5)】
……
More than half a year later, March brought the Green Festival, and a faint festive atmosphere permeated the basement, even though there were no festive decorations. Lin Wei was 37 years old.
[Seagull Breathing Technique experience points +19, after being tripled by Deep Blue Face experience points +57]
【Seagull Breathing Technique: Tier 5 → Tier 6 (22/50000), Effect: Advanced Agility, Maximum Requirement (1/5)】
[Advanced Agility: Your movement and reaction speed are extremely fast, allowing you to effectively evade multiple attacks in chaotic battles, and your movements are extremely fluid]
A series of notifications interrupted Lin Wei's cultivation. He slowly opened his eyes and let out a long sigh: "The Avian Breathing Technique has finally advanced. This seclusion in the basement has been exceptionally long; I'm almost forty in the blink of an eye."
As Lin Wei stood up, his bones began to tremble slightly as he activated his seagull form. A pair of gray-blue wings, nearly 1.5 meters wide, grew from his shoulders.
"These are my wings. I'm completely a birdman now, except my head is pointy." Lin Wei flapped his wings a few times and easily flew to the end of the basement. He almost couldn't stop, and the iron stakes along the way were blown away by his flapping.
"Stop." Lin Wei almost lost his composure and quickly transformed back into human form, patting his chest. "The basic attribute enhancement of this breathing technique is too powerful; I almost couldn't control it."
"I should go out and take a look. Old Rotty passed away a few days ago, and apart from going out to attend the funeral, I haven't left the basement much."
Lin Wei sighed, his brows furrowing slightly, a hint of melancholy in his eyes. Apart from himself, all the other subordinates in the Chengshi territory had grown old. Even Celia was no longer a young girl, with fine lines appearing at the corners of her eyes, and she was approaching forty. The soldiers had also become veterans, their backs no longer as straight as before.
……
"My lord, you've emerged from seclusion." Celia had still managed the small castle in Maple Leaf City perfectly, her lips curving upwards and her eyes sparkling as she smiled.
"Yes, these days Prince Maple Leaf is getting more and more forging orders." Lin Wei stroked her hair, his fingers gently running through her strands, and said slowly.
"Two more gates to hell have appeared in our eastern country. I heard the demons inside have killed many people." Celia's expression was grim, her brows furrowed tightly. She then stuck out her tongue. "Fortunately, this is the territory of Prince Maple Leaf City, so it won't be too affected. In a few decades, I will also grow old, and none of this will concern me anymore. But, my lord, you look younger and younger."
"Maple Leaf City is impregnable, don't worry, the equipment I forge is all top-notch." Lin Wei looked at Celia carefully, his gaze gentle, and said earnestly, "It's time for you to settle down and start a family. Take a good rest. Let Ham's daughter, Donna, handle things from now on. Wasn't she clamoring to be the housekeeper?"
"Let's talk about it later. Donna is still young, she can't handle these things." Celia shook her head, a hint of stubbornness in her eyes, and took out a letter. "My lady, this is a letter from Drake. It seems that detective knights have been arriving in Rose City recently, starting to investigate matters related to the Azure Lion Territory."
Lin Wei Na Celia had no choice; she had been saying the same thing for years. She shrugged helplessly.
"Detective Knight? This means Prince Swan and his men are starting to trace me." Lin Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white from the force.
His strength is now vastly different from before, and he is no longer afraid of the Great Knight's power. There is no need for him to hide like before.
