Fourth-Tier Limit! Wrestling with a Bear!
Putting aside other matters, Levi devoted all his time to practicing the Breathing Technique, and temporarily stopped practicing the Golden Cross Slash, as the Elementary Ripple power was more than enough.
Finally, at the end of the Month of Wheat Fields.
Levi's final practice of the Giant Bear Breathing Technique actually allowed him to reach the Fourth Order first.
Levi —
Giant Bear Breathing Technique: Fourth Order (Limit), Special Effect: Basic Strength.
[Basic Strength: Your strength is extraordinary. You possess greater explosive power and can wrestle with Giant Bear bear with your bare hands and fight a bison.] "As expected, the fewer the little figures in the Breathing Technique, the easier it is to practice. With the support of the Bear Blood Secret Medicine, the Giant Bear Breathing Technique that I practiced last became my second limit Breathing Technique."
Levi was both amused and exasperated; he felt that such a speed was perfectly normal.
In particular, the Bear Blood Secret Medicine he used was not from an ordinary bear, but from the blood of Northern Giant Bear, once fully grown, could rival Knight.
Therefore, such progress is quite normal.
"Same as always, let's practice on the Three Brothers."
Levi got up, went through the secret passage to the castle, and then to the Three Brothers ' Bear Pen.
"Little White, come here."
Levi waved, Little White obediently came over.
The little guys are almost four years old now, and their weight has exceeded one ton, reaching the maximum size of the largest brown bear in their previous life.
However, they are much stronger than brown bears.
Levi was particularly envious of their formidable strength and physique.
In the last battle with Iron Mountain, if it weren't for the Three Brothers, Levi might not have been able to defeat Iron Mountain.
The injuries that Iron Mountain had inflicted on the Three Brothers had almost completely healed thanks to Levi's meticulous care and their own powerful self-healing abilities.
Overall, the Three Brothers are now at the level of Low-Rank Knight.
Once they reach adulthood, they generally possess the combat strength of Mid-Rank Knight.
The Three Brothers, being the even more powerful male bears, could even rival High-Rank Knight or Peak Knight.
If these three guys were to fully mature, they would be a huge asset to Levi.
Highland Warhorse cavalry is weak; the Northern Giant Bear Cavalry is the coolest!
So despite the high cost, Levi still has to support these three good-for-nothings.
Dragon Mom can conquer the world with three dragons, while I, Levi, can use three Northern Giant Bear, not to conquer the world, but to protect myself.
"Little White, bite this end of the rope."
After Levi finished speaking, he threw a very thick hemp rope to Little White.
Little Fatty and Little Grey came over to watch intently. Little Fatty was still eager to try, but Levi stopped him again.
"Wait a minute, Little White can't beat me in tug-of-war, you guys go first."
Levi said.
Little White was unhappy about this. "I am Northern Giant Bear!"
Although I am still a child, aren't you, Levi, also a child? So, Levi decided to use primitive methods to see if the "wrestling with a bear" in the "Basic Strength" description was true.
"I hope Panel Bro isn't lying to me."
"Let's begin, Little White!"
Levi said, pulling hard on the rope to back away.
Little White, meanwhile, was biting the rope and backing away.
Strictly speaking, this was an unfair competition.
After all, Little White weighs a ton, and even without exerting any effort, it is enough to crush Levi.
Levi is 1.9 meters tall and weighs over 300 kilograms due to the high density of his Breathing Technique, but compared to Little White, he is still the youngest.
However, Levi himself is Low-Rank Knight, and he is already close to the mid-ranking level.
With the Black Snake Breathing Technique at its Fourth Order, the Giant Bear Breathing Technique at its limit, the support of multiple Breathing Technique, and the special effect "Basic Strength," he is not without the power to fight.
Huffing and puffing.
Huffing and puffing.
The man and the bear were panting heavily as they wrestled.
Levi's muscles bulged, and on the surface of his heart, the "Giant Bear Seed" born from the Giant Bear Breathing Technique pulsed, pouring Black Qi representing power into Levi's arms and core strength area.
Although the Black Snake Breathing Technique, Frost Wolf Breathing Technique, and Siren Breathing Technique are not particularly strong, they are all at the Fourth Order, and they provide Levi with some, albeit negligible, boost.
Levi's face was flushed red, and steam and white vapor were coming out of Little White's nostrils.
Ultimately, after persisting for five minutes, Levi was still slightly inferior to Little White.
In terms of pure strength, although he had reached the limit of the Giant Bear Breathing Technique.
However, it is still far inferior to a naturally gifted heavyweight behemoth like the Northern Giant Bear.
"It seems that the Giant Bear in the special effects description refers to an ordinary Giant Bear, rather than the Northern Giant Bear, a king among bears. However, such power is enough to sweep away most people."
Levi was very satisfied with the results. He wasted no time and returned to the Sanctuary. After a short rest and adjustment, he resumed his Breathing Technique exercises.
The Giant Bear Breathing Technique had reached its limit, and Levi then looked at the current state of the other Breathing Technique.
I'm only a little over a thousand proficiency points away from reaching Fourth Order in the Human-Faced Spider Breathing Technique, so I'll focus on grinding that.
Without the Secret Medicine, and because it's inherently more difficult than the Giant Bear Breathing Technique, the speed of practicing this Breathing Technique is slightly slower. However, Levi is now so proficient in the Breathing Technique that practicing it is still very smooth.
The year 1007 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Harvest.
Wheat production in the Blackwater Valley Territory increased by about 10 percent compared to the previous year.
At the beginning of the year, Levi Wei spent a lot of manpower and resources to reclaim wasteland and cultivate more farmland. He also allowed the serfs to use some natural organic fertilizer, so the yield increased.
However, limited by the level of agricultural technology in the world, future improvements will definitely be smaller and smaller. The key to improving agriculture still lies in the area of arable land and the number of agricultural population.
The current population of Levi's territory is not keeping up with the pace of economic development. Encouraging childbirth is one aspect, but more importantly, it is necessary to quickly bring in some fresh blood.
In general, the ways for lords in this world to increase the population are nothing more than granting fiefs, buying and selling serfs, or absorbing refugees who have fled due to natural disasters and man-made calamities. However, Levi is located in a remote area, so even if refugees flee, they tend to go to richer areas and rarely come here.
Levi had no choice but to buy serfs. In this era, the buying and selling of serfs was very common. Levi sent his men to the serf market in Icewind City to buy a batch of serfs. Most of these people were refugees who had lost their homes due to the war, and many of them were injured or sick.
However, Levi had no choice; healthy, high-quality, and strong slaves were in high demand and were all monopolized by the great nobles.
So as long as there are no infectious diseases or similar conditions, ordinary injuries or illnesses can be used with difficulty.
These people were then assigned to various jobs, such as mills and iron mines, by the steward.
Levi rarely left his home, diligently practicing his Breathing Technique in his Sanctuary while simultaneously strengthening his defenses against the Voice of the Deathbird and the mastermind behind his murderous intent.
On this day, inside the Sanctuary, Levi opened his eyes, his Divine Light gleaming, and the hairs on his arms stood on end.
"The Human-Faced Spider Breathing Technique has reached the Fourth Order."
