Levi looked at the Proficiency Panel, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

First was the Black Snake Breathing Technique. With one Black Snake Secret Medicine a day, Levi had reached the limit of the Third Order in only a third of the time he had originally expected. But this was not the limit of the Black Snake Breathing Technique.

It was just that for the Black Snake Breathing Technique to go from the Third Order to the Fourth Order, he had to pass through an important, unavoidable stage: condensing the Seed of Life. Once he succeeded, Levi would be a Formal Knight. This time, he would soar to the sky in a single leap.

As for the Frost Wolf Breathing Technique, because its quality was relatively low to begin with, and the cultivation of breathing techniques was largely similar, plus Levi himself was already at the Pre-Knight realm, he cultivated it with ease. It was not very difficult.

This kind of Bloodline Breathing Technique was only hard to get started with in the early stages. Once it was recorded on the Proficiency Panel, it became very easy to cultivate.

The results brought by cultivating the Frost Wolf Breathing Technique were also especially remarkable.

Levi's nimbleness and agility were far beyond before. Some time ago, he had specifically gone deeper into Black Mountain and found a wolf pack made up of a dozen or so Mountain Sitting Wolves to test his own strength.

The result was that, without wearing armor, Levi relied on the perfected Third Order Black Snake Breathing Technique and Frost Wolf Breathing Technique, plus the Third Order Golden Cross Slash, and killed ten Mountain Sitting Wolves rather easily.

This was already far beyond the standard of a Pre-Knight. An ordinary Formal Knight, if not wearing armor, could at most deal with a dozen or so Mountain Sitting Wolves.

So Levi estimated that his strength was above that of a Pre-Knight and was no weaker than an ordinary Formal Knight. It was just that he had no real opponent to verify it in actual combat.

When Knight Fred sparred with Levi, he always unconsciously held back, making it very hard to test Levi's true strength.

As for the sword technique Golden Cross Slash, it was also close to the edge of a breakthrough. Barring any accidents, he would be able to break through to the Fourth Order in the coming Month of the North Wind and grasp the Ripple Power Levi had long awaited! That day, Levi stood on the city tower and watched as Knight Fred led a team, pulling wagons, and set out into the distance.

It was time to deliver goods to that knight of Icewind City again. During this period, Levi had prepared a total of twelve sets of armor. He kept five sets and distributed them to the five strongest Militia under his command. The other seven sets were taken by Knight Fred, who would lead the team to Icewind City to deliver the goods. At the same time, he would have Knight Fred buy Ambergris for him in the city.

Originally, Levi had done all these things himself, but he felt that these few days were the golden window for him to condense the Seed of Life, and he did not want to delay.

So he could only have Knight Fred go in his place. However, given Knight Fred's reliability, Levi believed nothing would go wrong.

"There are still more than three hundred Gold Coins on the account now. Once this batch of goods is sold, another three hundred Gold Coins should come in. Six hundred Gold Coins is enough for me to cultivate for a period of time," Levi muttered to himself.

After watching Knight Fred's team disappear over the horizon, Levi turned and returned to the castle, then shut the gates.

Next came the crucial moment.

After cultivating breathing techniques for more than two years, from Knight Page to Pre-Knight, he had finally reached the most critical step.

Once he succeeded, from then on, Levi would no longer need to be as timid and cautious as before.

A Formal Knight, though not enough to sweep the world invincible, was enough to deal with most enemies in this world.

In the bedroom, Levi, who had restored his condition to its peak, prepared food and water in advance. Looking at the Candle-Holding Black Serpent pattern on the wall, he began condensing the Seed of Life according to the experience Knight Fred had passed on to him! The so-called Seed of Life, from Levi's perspective in his previous life, was similar to the dantian of his former world. It was just that the dantian was located in the abdomen, while the Seed of Life was located near the heart.

Levi's Black Snake Breathing Technique circulated at a speed far beyond the ordinary. His whole body repeatedly performed the practice postures of the Black Snake Breathing Technique, like a python poised to strike, infinite power contained within his twisted, knotted muscles.

Large amounts of white smoke rose from Levi's body. He felt the moisture inside him rapidly decreasing, but now was not the time to drink water.

Levi endured the extreme discomfort brought by dehydration and continued circulating the breathing technique. His blood grew thicker and thicker. Levi felt that if this continued, he might... die. But now that he had reached the critical moment, he was unwilling to forcefully interrupt it.

"I have to succeed!"

I painstakingly grinded this out bit by bit with the Proficiency Panel. How can I fall short at the last step! Levi roared inwardly!

Boom! As Levi's breathing technique circulated to its peak, a powerful aura surged from every part of his body, all flowing like a tide along his blood circulation toward Levi's heart.

A violent pain came from his left chest.

Pain. Too painful! Heartache in the literal sense!

Levi knew this was the key step in condensing the Seed of Life.

If, before this aura entered his heart, Levi could still have given up and at worst found another chance to condense it in the future, then once this aura reached the heart, at this step, there was no longer any possibility of giving up.

If he did not succeed, then it meant... death!

These surging forces would blow up the knight's heart and blast the organs inside his chest cavity apart.

Many people died directly at this step because their will was not firm enough!

The cruder the breathing technique, the easier it was for something to go wrong at this step.

Fortunately, the Black Snake Breathing Technique was an excellent-quality breathing technique, so the danger was much lower, and the success rate of condensing the Seed of Life would also be much higher.

Levi's cultivation had all been steadily, honestly, and step by step grinded out through the Proficiency Panel. His foundation was extremely solid. In the end, after enduring such violent pain for five minutes, the pale-faced Levi finally let out a sigh of relief.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and laughed loudly. Since transmigrating here from the Millennium to the present year 1006, six years had passed. From Knight Squire, to Knight Page, to Pre-Knight, and now, I, Levi, starting now, am a Formal Knight!

Although Levi did not have X-ray vision, after stepping into the realm of a Formal Knight, he could faintly sense that on the surface of his heart, there was a scattered, shifting, faintly visible black serpentine gas, winding and coiling, existing between illusion and reality. From the end of this gas, countless capillary-like things spread out, densely crawling over Levi's heart and connecting to all the blood vessels on it.

"Black Qi."
