Chapter 5 This was just an accident
"This is... a cultivation accelerator..."
Lin Wei was so excited he could hardly contain himself. Compared to the auxiliary effects of the Purple Mind Surface, the cultivation boost from the Deep Blue Surface was undoubtedly a godsend.
"So it seems that even if I cultivate incorrectly, I'm guaranteed to gain at least 1 experience point, plus a triple boost, meaning a guaranteed 3 points – that's equivalent to three days' worth for others!"
"As long as I don't waste time and work hard to cultivate, I will one day reach the stars and the sea."
"The Rubik's Cube is really insane."
Lin Wei was even more eager to see the effects of the other four unknown aspects, as it seemed that they could only be unlocked by encountering the corresponding opportunities.
After resting for a while, Lin Wei continued to practice his breathing technique.
After one process was completed, he failed to complete the intermediate steps properly, and the text continued to appear.
[Experience points for the Lion Breathing Technique: +1. After being tripled by the Deep Blue Face, experience points: +3]
"Don't be discouraged, you can still gain experience even if you make mistakes."
......
[Experience points for the Lion Breathing Technique: +1. After being tripled by the Deep Blue Face, experience points: +3]
"It's okay, failure is the mother of success."
......
[Experience points for the Lion Breathing Technique: +1. After being tripled by the Deep Blue Face, experience points: +3]
"Although I failed, it felt like I succeeded."
......
[Experience points for the Lion Breathing Technique: +1. After being tripled by the Deep Blue Face, experience points: +3]
"I did it."
......
Two months passed quickly. During this time, Lin Wei spent most of his time in the basement practicing the Clear Lion Breathing Technique, except when he was seeking necessary information from the captain of the guards, Ham.
The lingering influence of his father, the old Earl, meant that the soldiers guarding his small castle did not slacken their efforts in the slightest, which was Lin Wei's greatest source of confidence as he focused on his cultivation.
He also wrote a letter and had Ham deliver it to his older brother Victor.
As for his second brother Simon, he replied that he was delayed on his journey home and would return to the territory some time later.
Lin Wei couldn't figure out what he was up to either.
A brand new day.
[Experience points for the Lion Breathing Technique: +5. After being tripled by the Deep Blue Face, experience points: +15]
【Chengshi Breathing Method: Level 2 (10/1000)】
Lin Wei suddenly opened his eyes, his face full of excitement: "I finally succeeded again, and I even upgraded my breathing technique from level one to level two in one go."
"Once I master the breathing technique to the second level, I will be a knight! Although just an ordinary training knight."
Lin Wei clenched his fist, and golden lion hair covered the surface of his fist, with a thin mist of water emerging between the hairs, just like a lion's paw.
He punched the wall.
"Bang!"
The wall bricks cracked instantly, and Lin Wei's arm easily sank into the soil.
"After reaching the second level of the breathing technique, the power of the bloodline can modify a small part of the body, achieving extraordinary effects beyond human capabilities."
Lin Wei was overjoyed and happily pulled his arm out, then punched the wall several more times to prove that he was not dreaming.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
This is reality, not a dream.
"That felt great! Let's call this fist the Lion Gauntlet! It's just that I get hungry very quickly and can't keep it up for long."
An unprecedented hunger surged through Lin Wei, forcing him to stop boxing and start eating.
Whether it's raw beef or roasted whole lamb, he accepts it all and keeps stuffing it into his mouth.
After eating half a cow and a sheep, Lin Wei was completely full. Stepping out of the basement, he knew he had to clean up the mess.
"I wonder if the letter I wrote to my older brother Victor had any effect. I hope it did."
At the entrance to the basement, Lin Wei saw Captain Ham, the guard who was still diligently guarding the door.
"Ham, I'm out of seclusion. I'm not a vampire. From now on, follow me and work hard. I won't forget your protection these past few months."
Ham was taken aback, then nodded vigorously.
He always felt that Lord Lin Wei was different from before.
They became flamboyant, confident, and full of vigor.
Lin Wei patted him on the shoulder, led the guard squad on a stroll around the small castle, and then stopped in the training ground. He ordered Ham to bring the commanders his father had sent to discuss countermeasures.
Ham received the order and left in a hurry.
Lin Wei noticed the three pairs of furtive eyes from the guard squad and narrowed his eyes slightly.
They are Parsons, Yuri, and Monk.
These three traitors are like time bombs; now that I've become a knight, there's no need to keep them around.
"Parsons, step forward."
Parsons is a curly-haired young man who looks very cheerful. When he puts on the armor, he appears to have a strong sense of justice. When his name is called, he looks confused and has a bad feeling.
He felt that after Lord Lin Wei appeared, he seemed like a completely different person.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
Lin Wei grinned: "You've worked hard these past few days, training my swordsmanship with me. There'll be a reward for good practice."
As the son of an earl, Lin Wei had been training in swordsmanship for more than two and a half years and had a certain level of combat skill, making it no problem for him to fight one or two peers.
"Alright! Lord Lin Wei."
"please."
Lin Wei and Parsons each grabbed one of the training iron swords on the training ground, gripped the hilts tightly with both hands, and looked at each other.
Lin Wei sighed inwardly, "This iron sword weighs nearly thirty pounds. In the past, it was a bit difficult to hold, but now I don't feel much weight at all, and I still have plenty of strength left."
The knight's strength is truly undeniable!
"Parsons, block it. Just stand there and let me strike you down."
"No problem, Lord Lin Wei."
Parsons was somewhat relieved; swords and blades have no eyes, and parrying is much safer than sparring.
He was a spy planted by the eldest son, Victor, next to Lin Wei, and was responsible for reporting Lin Wei's movements to his master at all times. He was not allowed to alert Lin Wei.
"Watch closely, drink!"
Lin Wei used 80% of his strength to chop at Parsons' neck at an angle.
"Snap!"
Parsons' iron sword was broken.
"Pfft!"
The remaining force of the iron sword severed his head.
Parsons' body fell to the ground with a thud, his head rolling several times on the floor, his eyes wide open in death.
"this……"
The guards were dumbfounded; they had never seen anything like it before.
To kill Parsons, who was blocking the attack, with a single sword strike—only a commander capable of taking on ten opponents could do that.
How is it possible that Lord Lin Wei, who is so young, possesses such martial prowess?
"Hehe, not bad."
Lin Wei was very satisfied. Noticing the strange looks in the guards' eyes, he clicked on the "Attitude" item under their names.
Jason
[Attitude: Indifferent → Warm and Pleasant]
Stephon Marbury
[Attitude: From respectful distance to a friendly and approachable demeanor]
......
Lin Wei nodded: "Their attitudes have improved, although they're still not as good as Ham's, but it's good enough."
As for Yuri and Monk, they looked terrified, their attitude still "full of hostility," and their expressions had darkened.
"I won't bother looking at the 'inner thoughts' section. After becoming a knight, these guards are of lower rank, so there's no need for them."
Lin Wei was afraid that the Purple Face of Heartfelt Words would go into cooldown again and be unusable at crucial moments, so he didn't want to waste it.
"Alright, this was just an accident. Yuri, you step forward."
Lin Wei looked at the short man with a fleshy face in the queue.
