The basement of the castle.

An underground chamber that Levi had never been to before.

The machine stone table slowly poked out of the ground.

A worn-out parchment scroll sits quietly flat, scribbled with scarlet paint, in a circle of strange poses and movements.

And around these little people, there is a large black-scaled snake that seems to surround the entire castle, the big snake is abstract in shape, spitting letters, and a simple candle stands on its jaw, the candlelight dispells the darkness and illuminates in all directions.

"This is the ancestral breathing method of the Sneike family: the Black Snake Breathing Method, it is the powerful foundation of the Sneike family, and the Sneike blood flowing in your body is the key to unlocking it all."

"This excellent quality breathing method is even more precious than this Black Water Valley."

Knight Fred said solemnly.

Levi's breath was heavy, and he could finally embark on the path of true knightly cultivation!

As far as he knew, the knights divided the breathing method into four categories according to the subtlety and growth potential of the breathing method: coarse, excellent, perfect, and legendary!

Among them, 90% of the breathing methods are crude and superficial quality breathing methods.

Practicing this superficial level of breathing method, many people can only do nothing in the knight squire stage for the rest of their lives, and they cannot set foot in the knight realm at all. Being able to condense the "Seed of Life" and stepping into the official knight is already stepping on shit luck, and stepping into the grand knight is basically impossible, for example, the "snake vulture breathing method" practiced by Knight Fred is like this.

Of course, the excellent quality breathing method is just a stepping stone to the great knight, and if you want to become a great knight, you need 90% talent, 9% opportunity, and 1% sweat.

The perfect level of breathing methods is probably only possessed by those duke families, and there are not many kinds of them in the entire kingdom.

As for the legendary quality breathing method, like the legendary knight, it almost only exists in legends, so don't mention it.

An important feature of the breathing method above excellent quality, that is, the breathing method inherited by most families requires the family bloodline to practice, and the specific reason is not clear to the knights, this kind of breathing method is also known as the "blood breathing method" or "secret cultivation method".

The Black Snake Breathing Method is a bloodline breathing method, which belongs exclusively to the Sneiker family!

In history, there have been some knights who robbed other nobles of their ancestral breathing method cultivation, and the final outcome was either to practice all their lives and do nothing, or to go mad and burst the blood vessels of their whole body and die.

Some say that this is a curse on those noble ancestors in the Heavenly Heroic Spirit to those who desecrate their family.

However, Levi is not worried about this, he is a noble starter, with pure Sneik family blood flowing in his body, and he is the "heir of the black snake"!

The black snake breathing method was too precious, and Levi did not take it out of the secret room, but under the guidance of Knight Fred, he began to practice in the secret room, and in this way, it was half a month.

During this period, Knight Fred has been accompanying him, although he does not know the black snake breathing method, but he is well-informed, and it is more than enough to teach Levi to get started.

On this day, Levi woke up from a strange posture, seemingly without any intense exercise, but he was sweating profusely, his muscles were bursting up, his face was red, and his breath was short.

He felt as if his blood was boiling, circulating and metabolizing at an extraordinary rate, the energy stored in his body was burning wildly, and a feeling of extreme hunger came to him, making him want to eat a whole snow rabbit raw.

"Hungry!"

Levi said like a beast, low and hoarse.

When Knight Fred saw this, he had already prepared, and brought a plate of roast meat, a bowl of goat's milk, and a large white bread roll, which was wrapped in a layer of fragrant jam, and boiled cabbage.

Such a food combination, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins are all-encompassing. In fact, the aristocrats of this world rarely eat vegetables, they think that the vegetables grown in the ground are inferior food, poor food, but Levi knows the importance of balanced nutrition, so every time he asks his subordinates to cook, it is a combination of meat and vegetables.

He inhaled the food in a storm, gobbled it up, his hunger pangs disappeared, and his expression soothed.

The meal he had just had was twice the amount of food a normal man, and it was only eight points full.

On the proficiency panel of his mind, new skills have emerged:

Levi Snecker—————

Black Snake Breathing Method: First Order (1/1000)

……

According to Levi's previous experience, once a skill is displayed on the proficiency panel, it means that he has already started.

The next thing to do is to practice step by step to improve your proficiency.

At the same time, the initial mastery of the breathing method is also a sign of becoming a knight's squire.

"Shield-wielding squire, sword-wielding squire, quasi-knight."

These are the three apprenticeship stages before becoming a full-fledged knight, collectively known as the "knightly squire".

In the shield-holding squire stage, in addition to the cultivation of the breathing method, you also need to learn the basic use of the shield, whether you need a shield in the future or not, but learning to use the shield to fight is a compulsory skill for knights.

At the sword-wielding squire stage, you will begin to learn real swordsmanship, which is not a pediatric thing like basic swordsmanship.

In this world, what can be called "skills" are extremely advanced combat skills, which require years or even decades of persistent cultivation, and are the most important thing for knights to improve their strength in addition to breathing methods.

To put it simply, the breathing method is the internal martial arts technique, and the sword technique or other advanced weapon use skills are the means to exert the power of the breathing method, which is the external martial arts.

When the cultivation of the breathing method is successful, it is a quasi-knight, which is a crucial step, because the next step is to condense the "life seed".

If it does, then the sea and the sky will be wide, and you will become an invincible official knight on the battlefield; Failed, and it was even more difficult to unite again.

"It seems that the young master has preliminarily mastered the Black Snake Breathing Method, although it is much worse than the speed that your father initially mastered in three days, but in the history of the Black Snake Family, it has also reached above the average level."

"In addition, you should also feel that when you really learn the breathing method, you will have to consume a lot of food every day when you practice, so in the future, you must prepare enough food in advance before cultivating.

Otherwise, that exaggerated hunger pang will dominate your mind and destroy your will like a gluttonous demon. Driven by the hunger instinct, you may do something crazy and depraved. That's how many of the notorious "knightly lunatics" who were burned to death by the church came about.

These crazy poor creatures are basically civilians who want to practice the knight's breathing method, and they want to become stronger to protect their families, so that they can be fed, clothed, and live a human life.

They walked on the edge of madness again and again, thinking that they were different, thinking that there would be many luck and miracles in the world, and in the end, some of them ate their old fathers, and some of them ate their wives and children......"

Knight Fred said with a complicated look in his eyes.

He was a knight from a civilian background, and he knew that feeling, so he was grateful to Levi's father who saved him at a critical moment.
