nPutting aside everything else, Levi focused on cultivating breathing techniques. He also temporarily stopped producing the Golden Cross Slash. The Beginner Ripple Force was enough.

nFinally, at the end of the Month of Wheatfield, the Giant Bear Breathing Technique Levi had cultivated was the first to reach level 4.

nGiant Bear Breathing Technique: Level 4 (Maximum). Special Effect: Beginner Strength.

nBeginner Strength: Your strength is unique. You have more substantial explosive power. You can wrestle with giant bears and kill wild cows with your bare hands.

n“As expected, the breathing technique with fewer miniature figures is easier to cultivate. In addition to the support of bear blood, the secret medicine, the Giant Bear Breathing Technique has become my second breathing technique reaching maximum level.”

nThough impressive, Levl felt that such progress was expected.

nEspecially since the bear blood medicine he used did not belong to an ordinary bear. It was the blood of a Giant Bear of the Northern Territory that could be comparable to a knight when it reached adulthood.

nTherefore, such progress was expected.

n“Same old rules; use the three brothers for practice.”

nLevi got up and went to the castle through the secret passage. He then went to the bear pen of the three brothers.

n“Little White, come here.”

nLevi waved his hand, and Little White came over obediently.

nThey were almost four years old and weighed more than a ton. They had reached the mass limit of giant brown bears from his previous life, though their strength was significantly more potent.

nIn particular, their mighty strength and physique made Levi somewhat envious.

nIn the previous battle with Iron Mountain, if it weren’t for the three brothers, Levi might not have been able to defeat Iron Mountain.

nThey had almost recovered from the injuries that Iron Mountain had inflicted on them under Levi’s meticulous care and their powerful self-healing abilities.

nAll in all, the three brothers were now at the level of low-level knights.

nWhen they matured, they would generally have the combat strength of mid-level knights.

nThe three brothers were already more potent than male bears and comparable to high-level or peak knights.

nWhen these three fellows fully mature, they will significantly help Levi.

nThe Alpine Warhorse cavalry would be weak. The Giant Bear of the Northern Territory’s cavalry was the best!

nTherefore, Levi insisted on feeding these three good-for-nothings despite the cost.

nMother Dragon could conquer the world with three dragons, while I, Levi, could conquer the world with three Giant Bears of the Northern Territory!

n“Little White, bite this end of the rope.”

nThen, Levi threw a thick hemp rope to Little White.

nLittle Fatty and Little Gray came over to watch. Little Fatty even still wanted to try, but Levi stopped it.

n“Wait a minute. If Little White can’t beat me in a tug-of-war, you two can join,” said Levi.

nThis time, Little White was not happy. It was the Giant Bear of the Northern Territory!

nAlthough he was still a child, Levi had also not matured into adulthood! Levi wanted to test if “Bear Wrestling” within the “Beginner Strength” was true.

n“I hope the interface didn’t lie to me.”

nAs he pulled the rope back, Levi said, “Let’s begin, Little White!”

nLittle White bit the rope and retreated.

nStrictly speaking, this was an unfair competition.

nAfter all, Little White weighed a ton. Even if it did not use any strength, it could crush Levi.

nLevi was 1.9 meters tall, and his weight had reached more than 300 pounds due to the high -density breathing technique he cultivated. However, compared to Little White, he was still smaller.

nHowever, Levi himself was a low-level knight, close to a mid-level knight.

nWith his Black Snake Breathing Technique at the fourth level, his Giant Bear Breathing Technique at the maximum level, his multiple breathing techniques, and the Special Effect “Beginner Strength,” he was not wholly defenseless.

nPuff.

nPuff.

nA man and bear painted heavily as they wrestled.

nLevi’s muscles bulged, and on the surface of his heart, the Giant Bear Breathing Technique was actively pouring black gas that represented power into Levi’s arms and core area.

nAlthough the Black Snake Breathing Technique, Frost Wolf Breathing Technique, and Siren Breathing Technique were not specialized in strength, they were all at level 4 and were sufficient for Levi.

nLevi’s face was flushed, and Little White’s nostrils were emitting heat waves and white steam.

nIn the end, Levi was still slightly inferior to Little White after five minutes.

nIn terms of pure strength, even though his Giant Bear Breathing Technique was at its maximum level, it was still quite inferior to the Giant Bear of the Northern Territory, a heavyweight beast with extraordinary talent.

n“It seems like the description of Special Effect refers to the ordinary giant bears, not the king of bears like the Giant Bear of the Northern Territory.

nNonetheless, this strength is enough to sweep away most people.”

nLevi was delighted with this effect. He did not waste any time and returned to the shelter. After resting and adjusting, he began practicing the breathing technique again.

nThe Giant Bear Breathing Technique already reached its limit, so Levi looked at the other breathing techniques.

nThe Man-Faced Spider Breathing Technique was slightly more than a thousand proficiency points away from reaching level 4. Hence, he focused on this.

nWithout the secret medicine and the higher difficulty level than the Giant Bear Breathing Technique, the cultivation speed of this breathing technique was slightly slower. However, Levi was now too familiar with cultivation, so it was still very smooth.

nIn the year 1007 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, the Month of Harvest, wheat production in the Black Water Valley increased by about 10% compared to the previous year.

nAt the beginning of the year, Levi had spent a lot of human resources and resources to reclaim more farmland. He also let the serfs use some natural organic fertilizers, increasing production.

nHowever, due to the limitations of this world’s agricultural technology, the key to improving agriculture still depended on the cultivated land area and the farm population.

nThe current population in Levi’s territory could not keep up with the territory’s economic development. While encouraging childbirth was possible, the ultimate aim was quickly replenishing new blood.

nUnder normal circumstances, lords would increase their population by enfeoffment, buying and selling serfs, or taking in refugees fleeing disasters. However, Levi’s place was remote; even if refugees escaped, they would run to more affluent areas and rarely come here.

nLevi could only buy serfs. In this era, the sale of serfs was a common occurrence. Levi had his subordinates go to the serf market in Icewind City to buy a batch of serfs. Most were refugees who had lost their homes because of the war, and many were injured.

nHowever, Levi had no choice. The healthy, robust, and high-quality serfs were in high demand and contracted by the nobles.

nTherefore, it was fine as long as they had no infectious diseases.

nThe butler arranged for these people to work in the mill, iron ore, and various other jobs.

nLevi did not leave his house. He hid in the shelter and practiced his breathing techniques. Other times, he strengthened his defense against the Bird of Death’s Voice and the mastermind who wanted to kill him.

nOne day in the shelter, Levi opened his eyes. His eyes were bright, and the hair on his arms stood on end.

n“Man-Faced Spider Breathing Technique, fourth level..”
