Chapter 463 The Key Point
In the meditation room.
Light blue incense curled up, and soft white light fell on Colin's face, leaving a deep shadow.
He rubbed the knowledge crystal in his hand and continued to meditate.
The improvement of the fourth-level wizard compared to the third-level wizard is reflected in all aspects.
Take the strength of the soul, for example. When a wizard advances to the fourth level, the soul will complete a sublimation, greatly increasing the strength. After the advancement, the soul will enter a period of rapid improvement because it is completely freed from the shackles of the body. .
The superposition of these two makes the soul strength of the fourth-level wizard much stronger than that of the third-level wizard.
In addition, the fourth-level wizard's abandonment of the body will also improve his spellcasting ability. Without the hindrance of the body, the contact between the soul and the world will be closer than before, and the environmental magic power that can be mobilized will be greater. It is equivalent to the soul separation of the third-level wizard. An upgraded version of body status.
But when it comes to essential improvement, there is no doubt that it still lies in the sublimated soul.
Therefore, if he wants to continue to move forward, then the direction should obviously be towards sublimating his soul!
The so-called sublimation of the soul actually means strengthening the soul.
The reason why fourth-level wizards have to abandon their bodies to extract the essence of their bodies is actually precisely because the human body limits the continued advancement of the soul.
Even if the strength of the body can be enhanced through bloodline transformation, elemental transformation and other means, it is not the original body after all, and it cannot be 100% consistent with the soul.
The body and soul are not compatible enough, and it will not cause too many problems when the soul is not strong enough. But when it reaches the fourth level, it will not only affect the soul's further improvement, but also bring many negative effects to the soul.
"However, I don't have this kind of trouble..." Colin murmured.
Strictly speaking, his body has not been modified by any external force.
Even if there was, it was digested and absorbed by him and became his own thing.
Therefore, the compatibility between his soul and body at this moment is 100%.
In other words, as long as he continues to improve his physical strength, his soul can naturally break through the current upper limit and continue to improve without any negative effects.
His current soul strength is higher than that of an ordinary third-level peak wizard. In fact, it is the benefit of having a strong enough body.
"So, as long as I continue to improve my body, the road ahead will naturally be smooth!"
Colin looked thoughtful, stood up quickly, and left the meditation room.
…
"The information on Knight's Breathing Technique is all here. Congressman, do you want to redeem it all?"
Neustadt, the Supreme Council Library, the wizard on duty said respectfully to Colin.
"Yes." Colin nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and handed over the member's badge.
"Here you go."
After a while, the wizard on duty handed him back the MP badge and the burned knowledge crystal with both hands.
A few hours later.
Golden Wheatsheaf Meditation Room.
Colin sat cross-legged in the middle with a thought in his mind.
The pale golden particles gathered together, and an ancient golden paper appeared in front of him, somewhere between illusion and reality.
His eyes quickly came to the knight column and found the red light breathing method.
The progress behind it is 94/100.
Strictly speaking, the red light breathing method is actually only a knight's breathing method that can reach the second level.
Now that he can be promoted to a third-level knight, he mainly relies on the blood of gods.
The blood of the gods caused the blood in his body to continue to grow, and eventually reached a qualitative change, causing his will and body to grow and transform together.
But now that there is no blood of the gods, if he wants to continue to increase his physical strength, Colin really can't find a practical way for a while.
That's why he went to Neustadt again and exchanged a large amount of knowledge about knights from the Supreme Council's library, hoping to get a glimpse of the way forward.
After all, even if this knowledge of knights cannot find a way to further improve the physical body, it can at least improve the progress of the red light breathing method. When the time comes, using the gold paper to break the limit of the red light breathing method can also bring improvement.
Turning his hand and taking out the knowledge crystal from the storage ring, Colin put it to his forehead and read it carefully.
Another two days passed.
Colin sat cross-legged in the meditation room.
On the gold paper, the red light breathing method has reached 100/100 progress, and a faint ↑ symbol also appears behind it.
Without hesitation, he reached out and took out the magic stone and began to switch the limit breaking point.
As the Lord of Ti Laimei, at least at this stage, he basically no longer needs to worry about the magic stone issue.
The resources that the entire Tiramei Plain can bring to him are astonishing.
After all, at its peak, the resources brought by the Ti Laimei Plain were not a problem to support the Loen family, which had several third-level wizards, let alone him now.
After a while, the ↑ symbol behind the Red Light Breathing Technique lit up with a pale golden light.
Colin's heart sank slightly. The pale golden light represented that the Red Light Breathing Method would temporarily reach the golden limit after breaking the limit and could no longer improve.
He let out a breath of turbid air, and without thinking any more, he concentrated on tapping the ↑ symbol behind the Red Light Breathing Technique!
boom.
The knowledge about the Knight's Breathing Method surged in his mind like a river, and countless ideas and inspirations collided countless times in a very short period of time.
The characters of the Red Light Breathing Method on the gold paper gradually blurred, then gradually became clearer, and finally settled on - [Red Light Breathing Method I (Gold)]
At the same time, a lot of new knowledge also emerged in Colin's mind.
He slowly opened his eyes, then suddenly stood up, with his feet spread out, his left and right hands level, and he put on the new red light breathing method.
Uh-huh!
The next second, Colin's figure suddenly blurred, and his movements were difficult to capture with the naked eye. All he could see was a vague shadow moving around in the meditation room, stirring up gusts of wind.
Half an hour later.
Colin stopped and stood up, exhaling a sigh of relief.
'The knight's power has become more integrated, his blood has become more commandable, and his overall strength has increased by at least 10%! ’
There was joy in his eyes. If it were said that the knights who had been forcibly improved by relying on the blood of the gods were a group of disorganized and unstructured troops.
Then the new red light breathing law that broke through the golden paper brought him an extremely excellent general and a tailor-made framework system, which gave the original motley army a completely new look.
The 10% increase in strength is already underestimated. Even if his blood energy has not increased, his will has not become stronger, but at this time, if Colin faced him before, he would already be able to crush him!
'It's a pity...the physical body has not been improved in terms of essential strength. ’
After the joy, Colin sighed and frowned again.
Improving the red light breathing method is more like an optimization of efficiency, but it cannot bring about substantial physical improvement, and naturally it cannot allow the soul to continue to improve.
With a thought in his mind, Colin summoned the golden paper again.
On the old gold paper, the big golden words behind the Red Light Breathing Method are particularly dazzling.
'If you want to continue to break the limit of red light breathing method, you must add new relevant knowledge...'
Colin is no stranger to this situation. The breaking of the golden paper is not something created out of nothing, but a breakthrough derivation based on the original basis. If it turns into gold, it means that stronger knowledge cannot be derived from the existing knowledge.
In fact, the solution to this situation is actually not difficult -
Just add new knowledge related to it.
‘But my knight cultivation has reached an unprecedented level, and I have learned most of the knowledge about knights in the past... I can no longer find any new knowledge about knights. ’
Colin sighed heavily, his two sword eyebrows almost touching.
He is already the number one knight in the wizarding world, and all the knowledge about knights accumulated in this world is no longer helpful to him.
If you want to move on, if you want to break the golden shackles behind the Red Light Breathing Technique, there is only one way -
Rely on your own research and develop new knowledge about knights!
'But this is easier said than done...'
After walking back and forth in the meditation room for a long time without making any progress, Colin finally felt that he could not continue like this. He walked out of the meditation room with a depressed mood, ready to take a break.
If the road to physical improvement cannot be passed, then he has one other way left, and that is limit-breaking witchcraft!
In terms of witchcraft, even if he encounters golden shackles, he can easily find relevant new knowledge to decipher.
There is not much research on knights in the world of Yharnam, but the accumulated knowledge on witchcraft is as numerous as the stars.
Relying on the limit-breaking witchcraft, he can also master power that is not inferior to that of a fourth-level wizard!
But this is obviously the most forced choice. Seriously speaking, giving up the body and embarking on the traditional path of a wizard is slightly better than this, at least the upper limit is higher.
After walking out of the wizard's tower, Colin went to the garden outside the tower and tried to relax.
It's still sunny in Golden Wheat Sheep today, but it's a little less cloudless than before. A few white clouds are floating in the blue sky.
There are not too many white clouds, not too few, like gentle cotton boats, floating leisurely in the blue sky.
However, when this quiet and peaceful scene fell into Colin's eyes, it inexplicably reminded him of the sea battlefield.
The ship-like white clouds are like cold warships, getting ready for battle...
"Junior Colin, why are you free to come here for a walk today?"
Just when Colin was irritated, Lilian's familiar voice came to his ears.
The latter looked at Colin with a bit of surprise on his face.
Ever since Colin came back from Neustadt last time and said he wanted to retreat, it has been difficult to see anyone, and he has basically not been involved in the daily work of Ti Laimei Plain.
"Just taking a walk." Colin forced a smile and said to Lillian.
"Want me to walk with you?"
"It's an honor." Colin smiled, thought for a while and took the initiative to raise the topic: "Is everything normal in the Ti Laimei Plain recently?"
"Everything is normal." Lilian nodded, "It's the cave sinkhole that used to divert water. Now many cave creatures come out every day. Grandpa has sent a large number of wizards to guard it."
Colin nodded slightly and was about to say something when he saw the crystal on Lillian's wrist suddenly light up.
"There is news coming from the Ring Tower. I have to go and take a look." Lilian frowned slightly and walked towards the wizard tower in front of her.
Colin thought for a moment and followed behind him.
Quickly walking all the way to the communication room on the top floor, Lilian's expression changed slightly as she looked at the communication ring tower emitting red light.
"It's the people in the cave asking for help!"
She continued to step forward and received detailed information: "A dozen second-level cave creatures and a third-level cave monster suddenly appeared in the cave. Immediate support is needed."
"I'll go over now." Colin looked serious and said in a deep voice.
After saying that, he quickly flew out of the window next to him and quickly arrived at the original entrance of the cave, now the sinkhole.
After the heavy rain, the newly opened river channels had been refilled by him and Claire. In addition, the cave was deep, so the sinkhole was generally relatively dry at the moment, with only some shallow puddles.
A huge black monster that looked like a crab was leading a dozen similar-looking but much smaller cave monsters to fight against the resident wizard.
Without delay, Colin flew down and waved gently at the same time.
Uh-huh!
The light of Temple's ring-shaped restraint flashed past, and all the second-level cave creatures suddenly stood frozen in place.
However, Temple's ring restraint is only a second-level witchcraft after all. Although the third-level cave creature in the front is also frozen, it is recovering its ability to move at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The ring-shaped binding light was about to dissipate.
boom! !
A pair of invisible force-field giant palms descended out of thin air, swatting the third-order crab-shaped monster into a pulp like a mosquito!
Click, click, broken carapace mixed with minced meat fell to the ground.
Several nearby wizards avoided him, with a lot of blood splattered on their bodies.
Colin looked calm and removed the force field hand. At the same time, he felt that the irritability in his heart was slightly relieved.
"Are you okay?" He landed close to the garrison wizard and asked softly.
"It's okay, respected Councilor Colin!" the leading wizard replied subconsciously, looked back and then said: "The support came in time, and only one wizard was slightly injured."
"Well, let's deal with those second-level cave creatures. I'll go to the cave again."
"Go to the caves?"
"I'm going to see if there are any other fish that slipped through the net. Well... I'll also clean up the shallow layers of the cave to prevent this from happening again."
"Okay, sir." The resident wizard raised his head, watched Colin's back go away, and couldn't help but said in shock: "Cleaning the shallow layer of the cave... Didn't Senator Colin just advance to the third level wizard? Why do I feel more powerful than some of the peak third-level wizards I’ve seen!”
"Yes, that crab-shaped cave creature has at least the third level of intermediate strength, but it can't even withstand a blow from the Lord of Ti Laimei!" The companion next to him echoed, "This kind of strength is unbelievable!"
…
Uh-huh!
Colin threw out a punch, and a harsh scream came from his knuckles, as if the space was emitting an overwhelmed wail.
boom!
The fist fell heavily on the gray-black hard carapace in front of him. The crab-shaped cave creature in front of him, which was larger than the one encountered outside before, even had time to scream, was immediately torn apart and lifeless.
'I didn't expect that a group of crab-shaped monsters actually migrated here... The bigger one in front of me should be the King Crab. ’
Colin retracted his fist and moved his neck slightly, feeling relaxed all over.
Beyond his figure, in the winding cave passage, was a hellish scene.
Countless broken limbs and scarlet flesh filled the entire passage, like a horrific and bloody graffiti.
Of course, this is the perspective of the crab-shaped cave creature. From Colin's perspective, he just cleaned the entire shallow layer of the cave and vented his boredom.
It has to be said that this exercise of muscles and bones is indeed effective. The irritability accumulated in his heart has disappeared, and his mind has regained clarity.
"The road ahead is not all dark. Even if new knowledge cannot be researched, there is still a way - the blood of gods.
At worst, go to the front lines and fight to obtain the blood of gods, which can also improve your physical body! "
