Wizard: Start with Biological Transformation to Grind Experience novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71: 011: Direct Death Without Advance

After years of relentless effort, Lynch had long since perfected the three stages of Apprentice Knight training—muscles, tendons, and skin—successfully advancing to the rank of Knight. He was now transitioning from Low-level Knight to Mid-level Knight.

Don’t think this is easy—on the contrary, in some ways, Knight Training is even more challenging than Wizard cultivation. Wizards merely need to meditate to improve their strength, but Knight Training requires combining physical exercises with synchronized practice, which is incredibly grueling. The sweat Lynch had shed over the past few years could almost be calculated by tonnage.

Of course, the rewards of diligent effort were undoubtedly worthwhile. A glance at his attributes is enough to prove it:

Strength 8.3, Agility 8.6, Constitution 8.2.

The average of his three basic attributes had already surpassed 8 points, equivalent to eight times that of an ordinary mortal, making him essentially a small-scale superhuman.

His Physical Defense could be described as "Copper Skin Iron Bone." Ordinary blades and swords, unless wielded with sufficient force, could at most scratch his skin’s surface—but it would be difficult to harm the dermis or the muscle layers beneath.

In terms of speed, his burst movements were now fast enough to rival a cheetah in full sprint. _{freёweɓnovel.com}

And as for offensive capability, relying purely on raw physical strength, he could easily slash through a tree so large it would take several people to hug it. In terms of magical energy units, this would equate to approximately 6 units—a destructive force comparable to a typical Low-level Apprentice Magic.

In contrast, a Mid-level Apprentice within the refining system would need to undergo bloodline fusion or even enhance their body by transplanting certain organs to achieve such extraordinary physical performance. Yet Lynch had achieved all this without damaging his body in any way, purely through natural growth and cultivation.

And,

this was not even the full extent of what being a Knight entailed...

Inside the Stock family’s training room, Lynch sat cross-legged on a mat, practicing the Knight Breathing Method.

It was visibly clear—a faint mist-like substance streamed across his body’s surface. This mist surged into him with every inhale and exhale, coursing through his limbs and flowing toward his abdomen, where a thumb-sized, seed-like object resided.

This was the Knight’s exclusive Power Seed, also known as the Life Seed.

The Power Seed’s primary function was to enable Knights to harness a specialized Transcendent Attribute-like power. It went by various names, but it was most commonly referred to as Fighting Spirit—the mist-like substance currently swirling around Lynch.

This Fighting Spirit was a peculiar form of matter. Its greatest function was to fortify the Knight’s body. When activated, it could significantly enhance the Knight’s physical capabilities. For instance, if Lynch poured Fighting Spirit into an all-out sword strike, he could deal over 10 units of damage, approaching the potency of Mid-level Apprentice Magic.

Beyond that, it could imbue the body with tremendous vitality. While it couldn’t extend lifespan like the Power of Life, it could accelerate wound healing, boost metabolism, and enhance resistance to common illnesses.

A Transcendent Attribute not linked to elements or spiritual power?

Lynch was highly curious about the composition of this mysterious substance. However, despite combing through the entire library, he found no relevant information. Perhaps no Wizard had ever studied this energy, or maybe the related research was simply beyond his reach?

In any case, Lynch still hadn’t figured out its exact composition. However, the Power of Life he sensed after his recent promotion to Mid-level Apprentice gave him a strangely similar feeling. Could there be some kind of connection?

[Knight Breathing Method Skill Level +5] Before long, Lynch completed another cycle of Knight Breathing Method training.

After a brief pause, he stood up and began his swordsmanship training.

The swordsmanship technique was called [Direct Death Without Advance], a set of high-level swordsmanship skills composed of advanced combat moves like ’Charge,’ ’Heavy Slash,’ and ’Fearless.’
