Chapter 57: Siren Breathing Technique and Bone Shrinking Transformation
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the Year 1007 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, during the Month of Warmth, the Black Water Valley was vibrant with flowing water, lush green grass, blossoming flowers, and the buzzing of wild bees. The season of spring was in full bloom.
On the fields of the valley plain, serfs were diligently carrying out spring plowing work. Last year, everyone experienced a rare harvest year. Under the leadership of Baron Levi, the overall situation was stable and good. Everyone felt that the future was bright.
On the training ground, Sir Fred was training his soldiers. Almost half of the 50 full-time soldiers under Levi already had matching armor. Under his training, the soldiers were getting stronger. A few trustworthy elites had even cultivated the basic level of Non -Bloodline Bloodline Breathing Techniques.
The breathing technique was none other than the Siren Breathing Technique that Levi had obtained. Although it was not a strength-type breathing technique, if these soldiers had mastered it, they would have had no problem fighting on the battlefield in armor.
Moreover, they would be more agile and able to dodge more easily on the battlefield.
Of course, there were not many people who practiced breathing techniques. Only five militia captains were elected as captains. They were talented and trustworthy confidants.
Although Levi was rich now, he could not provide for all 50 soldiers to cultivate the breathing technique with the current financial situation of the territory.
He could only train five of them for the time being. If the effect were noticeable, when he had money, he would gradually build this army under his command into an elite soldier fully equipped with warhorses and armor and cultivate the Siren Breathing Technique.
Even if only one of the 50 advanced to become an official knight, it would still greatly help Levi.
Although Levi could kill official knights quickly, that was because Li Xiu had many breathing techniques and powerful archery skills.
Most of the more minor barons only had one official knight.
All in all, Black Water Valley’s current financial strength and military power should be considered above average among all the barons in the kingdom.
Levi did not delay his cultivation either.
Today, he upgraded the Siren Breathing Technique to the fourth level.
Although both were all basic breathing techniques, unlike the Frost Wolf Breathing Technique, the Siren Breathing Technique’s fourth level was not the limit. It could continue to upgrade if he worked hard.
[Siren Breathing Technique: Level 4 (1/20000). Special Effect: Beginner Speed, Bone Shrinking Transformation (Cannot be upgraded).
“Even if it’s a shallow-level skill, the Siren Breathing Technique from the Bird of Death’s Voice should be better than the Frost Wolf Breathing Technique of the Frost Wolf Family.”
Levi had only been practicing the Siren Breathing Technique for less than four months, but he had already reached the limit of the technique.
It seemed like he could cultivate it very quickly, but that was because Levi himself was an official knight. He also developed the Black Snake Breathing Technique and Frost Wolf Breathing Technique to the fourth rank. He achieved this with the proficiency panel and sufficient nutrition.
The benefits of this breathing technique were considerable.
This was because there was more than one special effect after the fourth level of this breathing technique.
When Levi saw the proficiency panel, he was shocked.
One had to know that the Black Snake Breathing Technique, an Excellent-level breathing technique, only had one special effect.
The Siren Breathing Technique was indeed extraordinary. Among the shallow breathing techniques, it should be of high quality. Otherwise, it would not have become the standard breathing technique of a powerful organization like the Bird of Death’s Voice.
Naturally, there was no need to talk about Beginner Speed. This was the same as the Beginner Speed of the Frost Wolf Breathing Technique. It gave Levi a slight increase in speed, but not as much as Levi had imagined.
Essentially, the breathing techniques possessed potent Special Effects. Through the Frost Wolf Breathing Technique, Levi harnessed the full potential of a shallow Level 4 breathing technique, experiencing its maximum impact.
Therefore, in terms of speed, unless the Siren Breathing Technique advanced to Level 5, it would be difficult for Levi to make any significant changes.
However, Levi did not care about this. What he cared about was another Special Effect of the Siren Breathing Technique.
Bone Shrinking Transformation: By reasonably changing the position of the bones, the body will shrink within the limits of the body’s endurance and increase the body’s flexibility. This effect cannot be upgraded.]
“If this special effect is used well, it can be used to save my life and counterattack,” Levi muttered.
This was similar to the Bone Shrinking Technique in Wuxia novels, which could change the size of one’s body through bone shrinking.
Body size was a problem that Levi paid attention to.
He discovered that some breathing techniques, especially those focused on strength, had a unique feature. It made people’s bodies inevitably bigger. For example, the grand knight of the Mellon family, who practised the Giant Breathing Technique, had reached an impressive height of three meters.
On the one hand, a large body meant terrifying strength and physique, but it also made one very obvious, reducing the body’s agility.
This Bone Shrinking Transformation effect could have a miraculous impact at a critical moment. For example, it could prevent a fatal attack by making it more challenging for enemies to attack one’s vital organs.
Moreover, after changing one’s body shape, one could also change his appearance appropriately. With some makeup and disguise techniques, one could completely change his appearance. If he did something shameful, this effect would be highly convenient.
Besides the Siren Breathing Technique, Levi’s other skills improved significantly during this period.
The progress bar of the Black Snake Breathing Technique had broken through the 10 ,ooo mark. The amount of black gas Levi had now was much higher than before. Two months ago, the black gas on his arm could only cover his palm.
Now, Levi extended his arms and circulated the Black Snake Breathing
Technique. The black snake that controlled the Frost Wolf Seed and the Black Snake Seed danced wildly at his heart, like Levi’s second heart. Black gas flowed continuously into Levi’s blood vessels, and finally, it poured into Levi’s arms and palms.
His veins turned black, like snake tattoos wrapped around his arm. A black gas full of texture slowly flowed on his arm, emitting a trace of metallic lustre. White smoke filled the air.
Levi could not help but admire his arm, full of metallic texture, and sighed, “What a beautiful body.”
He punched the wall of the shelter.
The entire wall seemed to tremble, and some gravel fell off.
“Even an official knight wouldn’t be able to withstand the power of my punch.”
“The quantity and quality of my black gas and my body’s strength constantly increase. Will there be a day when I don’t need to use any cold weapons in the mortal world? To use my palms and legs to summon Ripple Force. I can break stone monuments and shatter armor at that time with a single palm strike!”
A bold idea suddenly popped up in Levi’s mind, but he did not dare to try it yet. The Ripple Force was too overbearing. It would easily shatter his arm if he had no weapon to vent it out. Perhaps Levi could try it after he advanced to a grand knight..
