Chapter 136: Level Eight! (2)

In the end, he could only place his hopes on breathing techniques.
Due to their slow speed, Levi was not interested in cultivating the Giant and the Vortex Beast Breathing Techniques without the secret medicine.
The Black Snake Breathing Technique had only been at level 8 for a few months, and he needed close to 100,000 Proficiency points to reach level 9. Levi estimated that it would be good enough if he could break through to the next level before the end of next year.
Moreover, according to Levi’s speculation, for an excellent breathing technique like the Black Snake Breathing Technique, level 9 should be the maximum.
If he wanted to break through again, he might have to obtain a perfect-grade breathing technique.
The Siren breathing technique still needed two more points of progress to break through the limit, and the Giant Rhinoceros Breathing Technique had just achieved a breakthrough not long ago, so it was still quite far away from level 8.
In the end, Levi’s gaze locked onto the Blood Whale breathing technique.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll focus on cultivating the Blood Whale and temporarily put everything else aside.”
“Try to push the Blood Whale Breathing Technique to the limit within three months!”
Levi returned to the shelter and prepared a lot of food, water, and jerky.
He had Demon Mountain guard Black Snake Castle while Magic Shark guarded the shelter.
Besides the transaction with the Earl of Silver Mountain, Levi would spend the rest of his time cultivating the Blood Whale Breathing Technique.
He wanted to see what level his strength would reach if he could cultivate both breathing techniques to level 8.
In the Month of Grass of the year 1011 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, the serfs of Black Water Valley were busy plowing. The blacksmiths were occupied with forging while soldiers were actively training. Everything was running in an orderly manner.
The outside world was still in chaos.
More territories in the South were drawn into the flames of war.
Relying on the support of the Duke of Montenegro. especially the fertile Tuly
Hill and the rich mineral resources of the Stormy Hill, the two nobles, the Earl of Blood and the Earl of Silversilk, plundered the South.
The combined military power of these two counts was already more substantial than some dukes in the South.
However, the royal family was already gathering a large-scale coalition army. This time, the royal family and the southern nobles would send an army deep into the Northern Territory and take down Montenegro Mountain City!
If the Duke of Montenegro were defeated in this battle, his crimes would cause the entire Montenegro Mountain family to disappear from history.
Of course, if he succeeded, the Montenegro Mountain family would be unprecedentedly glorious.
This was a huge gamble. It was unclear where the Duke of Montenegro’s confidence came from to go against the South and the royal family.
In the entire North, only the Earl of Silver Mountain did not join the Northern
Coalition Army of the Duke of Montenegro. This was because, like Black Water Valley, the Icewind Territory was also a fief directly under the royal family and was not enfeoffed by the Duke of Montenegro.
While Levi was still in seclusion, under the pressure of the royal family, the Earl of Silver Mountain had no choice but to personally lead an army and join the army to attack the Duke of Montenegro.
Presumably, it would not be long before a great battle broke out in the Northern Territory.
After Levi learned of the situation, he frowned slightly. “The flames of war are about to reach the Northern Territory.” “Even the Earl of Silver Mountain is involved in the war.” “Next, no one will care about the Snow Demons.” “It doesn’t matter. Why should I worry about this?”
“Just protect your own life.”
“Fight, fight. I’ll go far away when the Snow Demons arrive and the Northern Territory gets destroyed.”
He would protect Black Water Valley if he could. After all, it could still earn gold coins yearly.
Of course, to Levi, the money the Black Water Valley earned was better than nothing.
Levi used most of the money earned to expand production and the army.
Now, the number of Red Blood Cavalry was close to 150.
The part-time militia had reached 500 people.
The population of the entire territory had also expanded several times.
Even though most of these people were enslaved people he had bought, Levi paid attention to the quality of his soldiers.
The team leader of the cavalry, Sam, had also advanced to a Quasi-Knight and hoped to become an Official Knight in the future.
Besides that, Levi also started cultivating the Giant Rhinoceros Breathing Technique.
In addition to the Siren Breathing Technique, there were two Non-Bloodline Breathing Techniques for the talented soldiers of the Black Water Valley to choose from. Even the great nobles rarely had such conditions.
Over the years, the territory had accumulated more than ten people who had mastered breathing techniques. These people would be the future elite soldiers. Of course, the premise was that the Black Water Valley could survive the future calamity.
Levi was not very worried about the war in the Northern Territory. Worrying was useless.
This kind of momentum was unstoppable.
No matter the outcome, it did not make any difference to Levi. It was neither a good nor bad thing.
The result he was looking forward to the most was that the two sides would fight forever. The flames of war would continue for a few years, and no one
would care about a minor figure like him. He would successfully advance to a legendary knight or become a wizard.
When he became a wizard, they could fight however they wanted. It had nothing to do with him anyway.
If there had to be a winner in this war, it would be better for the South and the royal family to win.
