Golden Lion Breathing Method and Peak Quasi-Knight (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

Golden Lion Breathing Method and Peak Quasi-Knight (Seeking Follow-up Reading) The Far East Territory covered an extremely vast area.

Viewed from above, the entire territory resembled a soaring eagle, which was why it was also called Eagle Ridge.

Golden Lion Manor, where Chen Mu and Count Arthur lived, was located at the heart of this eagle.

The blazing sun scorched the land. The crimson sky held not a single cloud, nor was there a trace of wind.

In the small Training Ground within the Manor, Chen Mu held a Heavy Sword as he practiced the skills his second simulation had brought him.

The improvement the second simulation had given Chen Mu was undoubtedly enormous.

Every move Chen Mu made produced sonic booms in the solidified air around him.

With each breath, Chen Mu instinctively operated the Golden Lion Breathing Method.

One could vaguely see a stream of air being drawn in through his nose before being exhaled.

If Chen Mu donned a suit of heavy armor and was given a warhorse, he could now even rival a Formal Knight.

What did a Formal Knight represent? Even without armor, a Formal Knight could defeat over a hundred ordinary people bare-handed.

And with a suitable Longsword in hand, even several hundred people would be unable to get close. That was what knights in this world were like.

In the simulation, Chen Mu had fought and killed two Formal Knights on the battlefield head-on.

Though he had ultimately died at the hands of a Grand Knight, that was still enough to prove the strength of his abilities.

During this period, Count Arthur, Chen Mu's father, had been handling the territory's trivial affairs, allowing Chen Mu to practice his skills in peace every day.

However, he had not revealed his strength as a Peak Quasi-Knight, because that would simply be too shocking.

If his father Arthur learned of it, his first thought definitely would not be that his son was an unprecedented genius, but whether his son Vieri had become a Wizard's experiment.

After all, aside from Wizards, no one else could turn an ordinary person into a Peak Quasi-Knight within a month.

After finishing his daily training, Chen Mu subconsciously summoned the panel. It transformed into a blue light screen before him.

Simulations Remaining: 0

The panel came with the Simulator and adjusted according to his understanding.

Therefore, after Chen Mu obtained a knight's Breathing Technique in the simulation, the panel gained a Breathing Technique section as well.

The same applied to proficiency.

In Chen Mu's memories, based on one's degree of mastery over a skill, there were four levels from lowest to highest: Beginner, Proficient, Mastery, and Perfect.

He glanced at the panel and found that there had not been any major changes.

With a thought from Chen Mu, the light screen vanished before his eyes.

It was close to noon, which was Chen Mu's mealtime.

He returned to the dining hall of his own Small Manor.

Only Chen Mu sat at the round dining table.

Before him sat several silver plates containing roasted venison, white bread, and some fruit. There was even a small bottle of fruit wine beside them.

Ever since becoming a Quasi-Knight, Chen Mu's appetite had multiplied compared to before.

As a result, he had not dined with his father for some time.

Most of the time, he ate alone, while the Manor's chefs prepared his meals in advance and sent them over.

Chen Mu cut off a piece of venison with his knife and fork, ate it with some white bread, chewed a few times, and swallowed it.

He was not particularly particular about eating. To be honest, compared to knives and forks, he was still more accustomed to chopsticks.

What a luxury.

Chen Mu sighed inwardly. The food he ate every day cost a considerable amount of Gold Coins, yet his father, Count Arthur, had never once questioned it.

In Count Arthur's heart, even if Chen Mu took one bite and spat out another, it would be fine.

That was the benefit of transmigrating into a noble family of the kingdom.

In the eyes of the kingdom's lower classes, Chen Mu's life was one they could not attain even in their dreams.

In the original owner's memories, the kingdom's lower classes worried over every meal, and their daily food consisted of dry, hard black bread.

After lunch, William Conley came to find Chen Mu with a smile on his face.

However, he had not come to teach Chen Mu knightly skills today, but to bring him some news.

"Vieri, two days from now is Hunting Day in East River Province. Many young nobles will participate in this hunt. Would you like to go and broaden your horizons?"

"Hunting Day?"

Chen Mu froze for a moment. The next instant, memories related to Hunting Day surfaced, and a look of realization appeared in his eyes.

East River Province was considered an extremely resource-rich province even within the Winter Kingdom.

The territory of Chen Mu's father, Count Arthur, was located within East River Province.

Naturally, this fertile land was not controlled by Chen Mu's father alone.

In Chen Mu's memories, East River Province had one Marquess, four Counts, and several Viscounts.

As for Barons, there were none in East River Province.

That was because a Baron's Fief was mostly found in mountainous ravines and barren lands. Even among the kingdom's nobles, there were social ranks.

Fiefs with gentle rainfall and fertile farmland were naturally controlled by nobles with greater authority, because such regions provided abundant food.

Those mountainous ravines and barren lands, on the other hand, lacked grain and were thus mostly the Fiefs of minor nobles.

Hunting Day was an event that the young nobles of East River Province flocked to every year.

The hunt was, of course, a real hunt, but most young nobles who participated did so for socializing—to build connections and pave the way for their futures.

After all, decades later, those controlling the various territories within East River Province would very likely be the young nobles who had once hunted together.

In Chen Mu's memories, it had always been his elder brother who attended Hunting Day in earlier years.

After his elder brother left to travel the Wandering Kingdom several years ago, the Golden Lion Family had missed Hunting Day several times. The original owner had never participated in this so-called Hunting Day.

Chen Mu was no fool. William coming to him with these words was undoubtedly Count Arthur's intention.

Seeing that Chen Mu had not spoken, William continued with a smile. "Vieri, the master's intention is for you to go and gain some experience this Hunting Day.

The Morning Dawn Marquis and the heirs of many Counts will participate in this hunt. It will be a good experience for you."

How could Chen Mu fail to understand what that meant?

Although he did not care much about Hunting Day, he still said solemnly,

"I will not disappoint Father."

As he spoke, he clenched his right fist against his left chest. His eyes showed just the right amount of youthful resolve and confidence.

Chen Mu understood that Count Arthur wanted him to meet other young nobles during this Hunting Day. It could be said that he was paving the way for Chen Mu's future.

Naturally, he could not refuse.

Though refusing would not have much of an impact, it would inevitably cause Count Arthur to feel some disappointment in him.

Thus, Chen Mu agreed without much hesitation. After all, this so-called Hunting Day would merely be a formality to him.

His future would certainly not be limited to remaining in one place as a Count.

To borrow a phrase from his previous life, his future was the stars and the sea.

William was very satisfied with Chen Mu's performance. In the past, Chen Mu had always seemed like a child in his eyes.

But this month of interaction had made William understand that his young master was no ordinary person.

At the very least, Chen Mu possessed certain qualities that even Count Arthur lacked.

Thus, he said with a gratified expression, "I will come for you tomorrow. I will accompany you this time and serve as your guard."

Chen Mu nodded upon hearing this, indicating that he understood.

Naturally, Chen Mu would not be going to Hunting Day alone. Even if Chen Mu wanted to go alone, Count Arthur would not agree.

After all, in Count Arthur's heart, broadening his horizons and building connections were secondary. Chen Mu's safety came first.

Even among an Earl's Heirs, very few could have a Grand Knight personally serve as their guard.

Count Arthur assigning William as a guard and personally escorting Chen Mu was enough to show how much he cared for him.

After watching William leave, Chen Mu returned to the Training Ground, picked up his Heavy Sword, and assumed his stance once more.
