People become wise with age, and things become monsters with age.

Levi can basically be confirmed.

The Great Ice Ape King's previous actions of driving away the Armored Mammoth were probably planned by these two beasts.

In this way, the Great Ice Ape King can continuously obtain food from humans without labor through faith, and then distribute it to the Armored Mammoth.

Two days ago, after being frightened by itself, the beast sensed danger and immediately fled to find its good brother Armored Mammoth.

"Now we're in a bit of trouble. Defeating two giant beasts at the Great Knight level is no problem, but capturing them alive at the same time is more difficult. Besides, I probably only have enough anesthetic potion for the Great Ice Ape King."

"The Armored Mammoth is most likely a key ingredient in some kind of Breathing Technique's Secret Medicine. Killing it wouldn't be of much value, so we might as well capture it alive."

Levi analyzed the pros and cons in his mind.

Although his current Breathing Technique does not require the Armored Mammoth, future Breathing Technique may require it.

To be on the safe side, he decided:

Capture both of them alive!

Just to be on the safe side, Levi had Demon Shark quietly guard this book.

He rushed back to Cold Crow City overnight, worked tirelessly for a day and a night, and produced another three hundred doses of "Sleepy Potion".

In order to refine these anesthetics, his Potion Making proficiency increased by more than a thousand.

As long as we can capture these two big guys alive and bring them back.

All the trouble was worth it.

Levi had previously underdeveloped his "Wild Heart" too little.

However, as he continued to grow stronger, Levi discovered that the Wild Heart effect had great potential.

He possesses the Hell Seal, which allows him to summon seven Living Dead Great Knight.

You could totally go for a summoner build.

With Wild Heart, gradually tame some powerful creatures.

On the one hand, it allows Levi to prepare the Secret Medicine in advance for the Breathing Technique later on.

On the other hand, it can also enhance the territory and one's own strength.

At that time, we'll directly build a legion of behemoths clad in armor: Three Brothers, Armored Mammoth, and the Great Ice Ape King...

It would be quite a spectacle to see someone charge straight into the face of their enemy.

Levi returned to that canyon.

The Great Ice Ape King is still here.

It seems that it doesn't intend to pay attention to its followers for the time being.

"Take care of the Great Ice Ape King first. That guy is fast, so we can't give it a chance to escape. Let the Demon Shark hold off the Armored Mammoth."

Levi pulled out his specially made arrow.

The arrowhead was made of Sun Gold and was hollow in the middle, filled with Sleepy Potion.

Levi went to great lengths to capture these two guys alive.

Then, with his Full Level Archery, he hit the bullseye every time.

Arrows filled with Sleepy Potion shot out one after another under Levi's supreme power.

And they successfully broke through the defenses of the two giant beasts.

Levi had done his homework and knew where these two guys' defenses were weakest.

Soon, the two giant beasts, feeling pain, immediately awoke from their slumber and looked around.

"Let's go, Demon Shark. After we do this job, we can go home."

After Levi finished speaking, he sent the Demon Shark out.

The Demon Shark, like a human tank, charged toward the Armored Mammoth.

It would take some time for the anesthetic to take effect, and Levi wasn't sure if it would even work, so they had to proceed immediately.

At the same time, Levi also arrived in front of the two giant beasts.

He used the Dragon Might Seal, which he had prepared beforehand, to strike out with his palm.

As flames rose, golden eyes appeared in the void, followed by a dragon's roar, and an invisible spiritual shock swept towards the two giant beasts.

The next moment, Levi noticed that both the Armored Mammoth and the Great Ice Ape King seemed to have been hit by an invisible heavy hammer, and their bodies visibly trembled.

However, that's all. The Dragon Might Seal is mainly aimed at Evil Spirit, and it doesn't do much damage to the spirits of these beings.

But as long as it works, that's fine.

Levi then unleashed 10 consecutive Dragon Might Seal.

It caused the two large creatures to lose their balance and teeter on the verge of collapse.

In addition, the Sleepy Potion that Levi used, which was a hundred times the normal dose, also began to take effect, so it wasn't long before...

The two giant beasts could not withstand the pressure and collapsed to the ground with a crash.

Everything went much more smoothly than Levi had imagined.

"Although I possess the strength of Great Knight, it is still much easier than dealing with Great Knight."

Nothing is more dangerous and terrifying than Homo sapiens who wield power.

While the two giants were fast asleep, Levi quickly put the custom-made shackles mixed with Mithril on them.

Only half a day has passed.

The two giant beasts then awoke from their slumber.

This demonstrates their robust physique.

This was the first time Levi had ever seen Armored Mammoth.

This creature is comparable in size to the Icefield Giant Rhinoceros, or even larger.

Its entire body is naturally covered with a layer of scales similar to those of Earth Dragon Beast, making it impervious to blades and spears. Moreover, this creature is also incredibly strong.

Levi stood quietly in front of the two giant beasts.

The Great Ice Ape King glared angrily at the man in the White Wolf Mask.

It never expected that even though it had actively tried to avoid it, this guy would still find it.

Despicable humans!

The two giant beasts struggled incessantly, but their limbs were already fixed in place by Mithril shackles, and they could only struggle in place.

Moreover, the damage caused by the Dragon Might Seal and the anesthetic has left them feeling somewhat exhausted, as if they haven't slept for a month.

"I know you two are very clever, so I'll get straight to the point. As long as you obey me and become my pets, I won't harm you. On the contrary, I'll treat you to good food and drink so you don't have to live in this barren wasteland, relying on deceiving mortals to get a meager amount of food."

"If you refuse to obey, then I'm sorry, I will kill you, cut off your heads, skin you, cut your flesh, pull out your tendons, and remove your bones..."

Levi looked at the two big guys with a cold smile, like a great Demon King.

Both the Great Ice Ape King and the Armored Mammoth are unruly beasts.

How could he possibly be intimidated by Levi's casual threats?

Seeing that they didn't react, Levi wasn't in a hurry.

"If that's the case, then let's just endure it."

"Anyway, you all have Wild Heart. I can tame you sooner or later. It's just a matter of time. This place is great for cultivation. No one will disturb you. It's very quiet."

Levi plans to stay here temporarily. He intends to use his Wild Heart, like training a hawk, to tame these two big guys.

Levi will head home once they're cooked.

In order to continuously obtain Ice Ape Blood, this period of time is worthwhile.

And so, Levi began his secluded life in this deserted canyon.

If it weren't for those two giant beasts, he could be home by now.

Levi took out the Ostrich Mountain Secret Medicine, and after taking it, he began his cultivation. He asked the Demon Shark to keep an eye on the two big guys so that nothing would go wrong.

In the year 1011 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowing Fire arrived.

The words "blazing fire" have absolutely nothing to do with the still icy and snowy Far North.

Levi awoke from his meditation.

After a month of practice, he had reached the Fourth Order of the Ostrich Mountain Breathing Technique.

With the Secret Medicine, plus the accumulation of so many Breathing Technique from before.

This Breathing Technique is not difficult to practice.

Levi ————

Ostrich Mountain Breathing Technique: Fourth Order (1/20000), Special Effect: Basic Strength

However, after reaching the Fourth Order of the Ostrich Mountain Breathing Technique, Levi had used up all the Secret Medicine he had previously stored.

He had also been to Cold Crow City and Ice and Snow Royal City, but there were no Black Ostrich Egg in stock. Although this material was not as precious as Earth Dragon Blood, it was not something that could be bought whenever one wanted.

Without the Secret Medicine, the efficiency of practicing the Ostrich Mountain Breathing Technique would be very low. So he continued to practice the Black Snake, Giant Rhinoceros, and Sea Siren Breathing Technique, which were prepared with a large amount of Secret Medicine, as well as the Thunderbird, Swift Dog, and Sandigo Breathing Technique that he had just obtained.

After spending the past month together, the Great Ice Ape King and the Armored Mammoth's attitude towards Levi had indeed improved.

However, it will take quite some time before they can be tamed.

In other words, Levi possessed Wild Heart. It would be impossible for anyone else to tame these naturally powerful and unruly giant beasts unless they were raised from a young age.

Levi wasn't in a hurry; he continued to endure the pain.

What he has in abundance is time and patience.

And so, Levi endured the Month of Flowing Fire, the Month of the Furnace, and finally the Month of Wheat Fields.

Taming these powerful behemoths is different from taming the snow eagle.

Ordinary wild animals are easy to cook, but this kind of thing is too difficult; even with Wild Heart, it's impossible to cook quickly.

Over the past two months, the attitudes of those two big guys have been steadily improving.

After all, Levi would provide them with abundant food every now and then, and the food he provided was more plentiful and delicious than that of the people in those tribes.

Problems that can be solved with money are not problems at all.

Levi fed them well and provided them with good food and drink.

Their mental strength, which had been injured by Levi, has begun to recover.

Levi also loosened some of their shackles.

He dared not let go completely at once, fearing that these two cunning creatures were putting on an act for him and would run away if he let go.

"Let's keep going, it won't interfere with my cultivation anyway."

In the past two months, Levi has pushed the Swift Hound Breathing Technique and Thunderbird Breathing Technique to their limits. Once the Siren Breathing Technique reaches its limit, he can integrate it into the other techniques and use it as a Limit-Break Points.

The progress bar for the Black Snake Breathing Technique has also been quite high, and it's practically a certainty that he'll advance to the Ninth Rank before the end of next year.

The Giant Rhino Breathing Technique is not far from breaking through to the Eighth Rank limit.

Levi simply continued to grind experience points until he reached the Eighth Rank of his Giant Rhinoceros and gained "Extraordinary Strength." That way, even if those two big guys refused to obey, Levi could use his Extraordinary Strength to beat them into submission with his fists.

And so, Levi endured from the Month of Wheat Fields to the Month of Harvest.

At the end of the Month of Harvest, Levi emerged from his meditative state.

As he pushed the Giant Rhino Breathing Technique to its limit, he could clearly feel that his body had begun to develop rapidly again over the past few months.

He's gone from being 1.9 meters tall to that damn 2 meters.

"Damn it, I really didn't want to grow so tall and strong."

Levi stared at his bulging muscles, exerted a little force, his veins bulged, and amidst the Black Qi, he plunged his hands into the ground and exerted force again.

Rumble.

With a loud bang, a large block of ice was cut in half by Levi and pried out.

Levi easily lifted the block of ice, which weighed several thousand kilograms, and then threw it away. The ice was thrown a long way and landed on the ground, turning into powder.

This action caused the two large creatures that were eating to stop. They looked shocked, clearly not expecting that this human could accomplish something that only a large creature like them could do with such a small body.

Levi was slightly out of breath. When he possessed top-level strength, he could lift such a heavy object.

But it wasn't as easy as it is now, where you could even throw it.

This is the change brought about by Extraordinary Strength.

Levi opened the Proficiency Panel.

Levi ————

Giant Rhino Breathing Technique: Eighth Rank (Limit), Special Effect: Extraordinary Strength...

"Extraordinary Strength: Your power has surpassed the limits of mortals; you truly possess the literal strength of nine bulls and two tigers."

Levi felt the power filling his limbs and bones.

The power was so great that he was completely captivated by it.

He stretched his body and strode in with imposing steps to the two large figures.

"Have you thought it through?" Levi asked.

After more than three months of taming, it should be almost done.

"If you've thought it through, I'll let you go."

After Levi finished speaking, the Great Ice Ape King nodded first, nodding repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.

Armored Mammoth also used their trunks to signify submission.

Levi then unlocked the shackles on the two big guys.

If they still choose to flee or attack him, Levi will kill them without hesitation.

However, it is clear that Levi has been successfully tamed over the past three months.

After being released, the two big guys stretched their limbs a little and then lay down on the ground to show their submission.

"Very good, now come home with me."

Levi loosened his fist, jumped onto the Armored Mammoth's back, and then began to head back the way he came.

The Wild Dog Knight waited a long time for Levi, but he couldn't find him. He left a message for Levi at the Shining Tavern, saying that he had already returned to the Emerald Kingdom.

The road from the Eternal Night Kingdom back to the Emerald Kingdom was relatively easy, and riding his Armored Mammoth, Levi returned home.

I've been away for too long this time, and I don't know how the territory is doing.

He was starting to miss his little Sanctuary.

The year 1011 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of the North Wind.

Levi circled around various remote paths and returned to his Blackwater Valley, after all, the behemoths like the Armored Mammoth and the Great Ice Ape King were too astonishing.

I have never heard of anyone taming such a ferocious beast.

Levi temporarily settled the two men in the Black Mountain Range.

The castle's space is barely enough to house them.

Moreover, it could easily scare the servants and soldiers inside to death.

Now these two guys are basically completely tamed by Levi, and they won't run away anymore. They also regard Levi as their master.

Levi assigned several trustworthy and daring soldiers to take care of the two big guys' food and drink.

He named the Great Ice Ape King "Hapes" and the Armored Mammoth "Hendry".

This is how the "Hengha Er Jiang" were formed.

Under Levi's sweet talk, Hapes quickly succumbed.

It discovered that following Levi was much more comfortable than being Insae People tribe, where food and drink were plentiful.

Hendry fell in love with the place.

Food scarcity has turned even wild beasts into cunning creatures, teaching them to cheat and deceive.

Now they live a life where food is served to them, isn't that wonderful?

So, Levi took advantage of Hapes' good mood.

Levi drew a basin of Ice Ape Blood.

A basin of Ice Ape Blood, used to prepare Secret Medicine, should be enough for Levi to use for a week.

A week later, given Hapes's physical condition and with Levi's nutritional supplements, Levi will be able to continue drawing blood without affecting Hapes.

"Perfect."

Levi was in high spirits, having finally solved the problem of practicing the Giant Breathing Technique.

Now only the Vortex Beast Breathing Technique remains as a stubborn holdout.

Upon returning to the Sanctuary, Levi immediately began his grand plan to practice the Giant Breathing Technique.

At the same time, he also sent different people to Icewind City and other cities to buy up large quantities of Black Ostrich Egg for use in the preparation of the Ostrich Mountain Secret Medicine.

In the days to come,

The Black Snake Breathing Technique, the Ostrich Mountain Breathing Technique, and the Giant Breathing Technique will all be the focus of Levi Xiuxing's training.

Of course, the collection of basic Breathing Technique is still ongoing.

After all, if the cultivation technique is to be developed to the Legendary Realm quality in the future, a large number of rudimentary Breathing Technique will be necessary.

Upon returning home, Levi also learned of the results of the Royal Family coalition's northern expedition.

The good news is that the allied forces have captured Black Mountain City.

The bad news is that the Black Mountain Duke is not in Black Mountain City.

Apart from a bunch of clueless civilians, the Black Mountain Duke had long since disappeared.

Some say that the Black Mountain Duke, seeing no hope of victory, fled with his family's wealth beforehand.

Regardless, the Royal Family coalition took over Black Mountain City.

"Where has the Black Mountain Duke gone?"

"Given his personality, he definitely wouldn't run away."

"It's highly likely they're plotting some big conspiracy."

Levi didn't care about that either.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with him.

As long as the Black Mountain Duke doesn't die too soon, everything will be fine.

After all, he can reach the Ninth Rank of the Black Snake Breathing Technique next year.

Then we should be able to seek revenge on the Black Mountain Duke.

Levi had waited far too long for this day.

He wanted to personally trample on the dignity of the Black Mountain Duke and crush that damned fellow.

Not long after, the Black Mountain Duke appeared in Tulip Territory in the south, reappearing in everyone's sight.

He personally led a large army, and together with Silver Gauze Earl and Bloody Earl, the Black Mountain army basically conquered half of the entire southern territory.

Upon hearing that the Black Mountain Duke was still alive, Levi breathed a sigh of relief.

Tragedy like that of the Boar Knight must not be allowed to repeat itself.

He had to personally escort the old Black Mountain Dog to meet the Heavenly Father.

Of course, there were also the two dogs beside him.

As for the territory itself, Levi no longer cared so much.

After acquiring the wealth of the Duke Blue Feather, money was no longer a problem for Levi.

Territory is a tool for making money; whether you have it or not makes no difference.

On the contrary, once the territory is taken over, a whole host of troubles will follow.

Before becoming a wizard, it's good enough to live a quiet life in a small place like Blackwater Valley.

Time flies like an arrow, and the days pass like a shuttle.

The war was still ongoing, which was a good thing for Levi.

Outside of the war zone, Levi calmly focused on gaining experience.

The year 1012 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Origin.

With the help of the Secret Medicine, the Giant Breathing Technique quickly reached the Fourth Order.
