62: Chapter 62 Seed of Life

After the banquet, in a vacant room somewhere in the Boulder Castle...

The already spacious room, at Ross's gesture, had its debris, bookcase, and other items moved out by the maid,

making it appear even more empty and vast.

Ross rubbed an old, antique book in his hand, the two characters "Gale" on the cover appearing very dazzling, covering up the tattered state of the ancient book.

He quickly scanned through the information of this "Knight Breathing Technique" displayed on the system ten lines at a time.

"Gale Knight Breathing Technique": A cultivation method regarding the path of knights passed down from generation to generation by a certain knight family.

Through polishing the body, exercising the physical flesh, sharpening skills, and seeking a certain resonance with magic power.

Effect: Activating a "Seed of Life" amidst the continuous tempering of the soul and flesh, which can bear the knight's will and magic power, and break through the limitations of one's own physical body.

Specifically sensing the body's acupoints and operational pathways...

Actually, this "Gale Knight Breathing Technique" given to him by the lord of Boulder Town...

although not the one passed down in his family, should have been exchanged by him from some fallen noble knight.

After all, although these "Knight Breathing Techniques" are not particularly difficult methods for wizards to obtain,

as the foundation of a lord's standing, it is naturally impossible to casually hand them over for outsiders to observe.

The quality of this "Gale Knight Breathing Technique" is hard to define precisely, but it poses no problem regarding the direction of the basic knight path and how to step onto it.

As the second largest extraordinary path in the Wizard World besides wizards, knights naturally possess their own unique power,

that is, coming from the tempering of one's own physical body, an interweaving of hot blood and sweat.

The fusion of spirituality and the physical body.

Then magic power gathers into the "Seed of Life", and then spreads throughout the entire body.

At this time, those who cultivate the knight breathing technique will obtain extraordinary power.

Ross looked at the various methods on the secret technique before him, and couldn't help shaking his head, saying,

"These are all things mortals need to do. Due to the extreme frailty of their physical bodies, magic power is unable to fuse with the physical flesh."

Whereas on the wizard path, although the tempering of the physical body in the early stages is not all that extreme, after using the Meditation Method to elevate one's mental power,

relying on the resonance between mental power and magic power, one can more quickly carry magic power to flow within the body.

Afterwards, one can passively utilize magic power to improve the quality of the physical body.

Ross could not easily judge which method was better, but the fact that wizards hold an absolute position in the Wizard World already proved which path was more suitable for the people in the Wizard World.

Moreover, although the path of knights can grant extraordinary power,

it is still focused more on the tempering of the physical body. Therefore, the advantages of these knights lie more in frontal battlefields and scenarios of physical close combat.

However, in complex and multifaceted battlefields, especially during battles with foreign realms, if one were to rely solely on the physical body to contend,

unless his physical body is truly indestructible,

able to reach the level where all spells and techniques are extinguished.

Otherwise, whether in the richness of means or in the degree of reaching the ultimate diversity in various fields, it is inferior to the path of wizards.

He put down the "Gale Knight Breathing Technique" in his hand.

Then Ross concentrated his mental power, running his own magic power according to the orbit of this breathing technique for three cycles, and then three wisps of so-called battle qi appeared.

Then he operated it for another two hours, and condensed a Seed of Life.

This Seed of Life was a conceptual seed containing a portion of Ross's physical strength and magic power.

This Seed of Life, although within Ross's body, was not actually a physical entity.

But if magic power or other heterogenous energies invaded, they could also interfere with this Seed of Life.

For instance, if Ross wanted to cripple the lord of Boulder Town,

he could rely on his own magic power to bind the lord in Boulder Town, and then invade his Seed of Life.

Relying on the tyranny of magic power, he could shatter his Seed of Life.

In this way, his knight path would have no way to continue further.

Therefore, the importance of the "Seed of Life" was just like the importance of mental power to a wizard.

And the "Seed of Life" was essentially a manifestation of the physical body, so for a knight, the importance of the physical body was extremely crucial.

However, if one wanted to hone the path of knights to a profound level, they had to experience a great deal of combat, which easily left behind hidden injuries.

And without spiritual herbs, miraculous medicines for medicinal baths or nourishment, it was difficult to reach a profound level.

Coupled with the fact that the knight path itself was a path of war,

this path itself did not possess means to heal oneself.

Ross carefully sensed the aura emitted by the faint "Seed of Life" within his body.

It fused with his own physical flesh and resonated with magic power.

Every breath brought a share of magic power to permeate his flesh and blood.

The physical body was also strengthened in this process.

Although after stepping into a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice, the strength of his own physical body was no longer comparable to ordinary knights, and most knights could not defeat a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice,

this nourishment for the physical body could at least allow his physical strength to be developed to a greater extent before reaching its limit.

Viewed this way, the knight path was not completely useless.

But deduced with Ross's mental power, the potential of this "Seed of Life", at least here in the Wizard World, was probably difficult to develop further.

The subsequent promotion route Ross prepared to arrange for himself was not to take the path of combat to hone the physical body.

In the Wizard World, for now, he was still in a relatively peaceful and quiet state within the academy.

It was very suitable for conducting research, then converting magic stones, enhancing mental power, and taking this route.

But this Seed of Life could also continue to be retained; not only could it nurture his physical body,

and Ross felt that this "Seed of Life", or rather the knight path,

although unable to occupy the main position of the power of origin in the Wizard World where he was, did not mean it lacked potential.

Perhaps one day in the future, he could also have the opportunity in a different world or some outer plane to elevate this Seed of Life to a profound level.

For now, he would set it aside temporarily.

And these days of continuous battles and mental power enhancements had left Ross's nerves in a highly sensitive state.

After activating the "Seed of Life", Ross also took off his clothes and enjoyed a noble-style service of bathing served by a maid.

Then he heavily lay down on the velvet-woven mattress, relaxed, and fell asleep.
