Pei Ze couldn’t help but look at his own fist.
With his current physique, without even drawing on his Elental Power, he could probably kill a Peak Grand Knight with a single punch from sheer physical strength alone.
’According to the books, when an ordinary Grand Knight breaks through to beco a Legendary Knight, their physique typically improves by twenty to thirty percent.’
Pei Ze understood. This terrifying increase was clearly due to the astonishing effects of the All-Knowing Breathing Technique, a powerful Cultivation Technique.
It was worth noting that with this breakthrough, his All-Knowing Breathing Technique had also naturally reached the first level.
’I wonder how much stronger my physique will be when I’ve cultivated the All-Knowing Breathing Technique to the twelfth level?’
Pei Ze’s heart burned with anticipation.
After calming himself slightly, Pei Ze stood up, ready to test the effects and changes his Elental Power had on his body.
First up was Energy Particle manipulation.
As expected, his abilities in this area had improved dramatically.
This was especially true for Fire Energy Particles and Thunder Energy Particles, which he could command as easily as his own limbs.
Pei Ze coated a weapon with a layer of the Power of Thunder Elent. Its might was about seventy to eighty percent of the Lightning Rune’s.
The Power of Fire Elent was much the sa.
From what he understood, although the Elental Power awakened by Legendary Knights who advanced using different Cultivation Breathing Techniques seed the sa, there were actually differences in the elent’s refinent.
The higher the quality of the Cultivation Breathing Technique, the more refined the awakened Elental Power, and naturally, the stronger it would be.
For example, the Power of Fire Elent Pei Ze now wielded was several tis more powerful than Huo Nan’s had been.
Next were the Elental Runes.
After so experintation, Pei Ze discovered that the Lightning Rune had significantly improved in both power and duration.
In contrast, the buffs to the Earth Rune and Gale Rune were negligible.
’Only the corresponding Elental Runes receive a significant boost.’
Pei Ze nodded to himself. It seed he would have to find ti to analyze the Fla Rune later.
The changes to his Magic were much the sa as with the Elental Runes.
The casting preparation ti, power, and consumption for his fire and thunder Magic—Fireball Technique, Burning Hand, and Lightning Claw—had all been optimized to varying degrees.
Pei Ze wasn’t particularly surprised by this.
He had already read in relevant texts that Elental Power could enhance a Wizard’s affinity for the corresponding elent, thereby increasing the power of that elent’s Magic and reducing its cost.
This was also why, despite there being many ways to strengthen the body, nurous Wizard Apprentices still painstakingly practiced Cultivation Breathing Techniques for the sole purpose of awakening Elental Power.
thods of physical enhancent like biological modification, while capable of granting a powerful body, couldn’t awaken Elental Power.
That involved higher-level body modification through energy conversion, a field only a few High-tier Wizards excelled in.
’And as my Elental Power becos more refined and powerful, my affinity for the corresponding elents will continue to increase.’
Pei Ze was delighted.
The All-Knowing Breathing Technique was special; it was a Cultivation Technique specifically for Legendary Knights.
With this Cultivation Technique, his cultivation speed would surely far exceed that of an ordinary Legendary Knight.
All in all, although he had "only" broken through to beco a Legendary Knight, Pei Ze’s strength had still seen a considerable increase.
’Now I just have to wait for the tasks to complete.’
Pei Ze looked at his task bar.
In another four or five days, the improvent of the Elental Rune should be complete.
After that would be the analysis of the instant-cast Magic technique.
The Thunder Burst Magic Tattoo was last on the list.
The main reason for this was that the Gemstone materials for the Thunder Burst Magic Tattoo were even more valuable than those for the Flash Magic Tattoo, costing over two hundred Magic Stone Coins.
He didn’t have that much money on hand at the mont. He would have to find ti to brew and sell a few batches of potions.
’It’s a sha a Wizard Apprentice’s Spiritual Power isn’t enough to concoct Tier Two Potions. Otherwise, selling a dozen or so Tier Two Potions would be enough to cover the material costs for the Thunder Burst Magic Tattoo.’
The higher the tier of a potion, the more its price increased, almost exponentially.
A Tier One Potion cost three or four Magic Stone Coins at most, but even the cheapest Tier Two Potion sold for over ten Magic Stone Coins, making the profit margin far greater than that of Tier One Potions.
If he could concoct Tier Two Potions, Pei Ze wouldn’t have to worry about money at all right now.
Unfortunately, that was just wishful thinking.
Wait!
A sudden flash of inspiration struck Pei Ze, and he grew pensive.
’It seems there might be another way besides concocting potions.’
He suddenly thought of Tining, the Half Deer Maiden from the Ancient Tree Deer Spirit Race.
If he could trade Moonlight Orchids and Falling Star Flowers with her for a large quantity of Magic Creature Materials, then turn around and sell them, wouldn’t he make a huge sum of money imdiately?
The profits from that would be much higher than from selling potions!
’It’s worth a try!’
Pei Ze grew excited at once. He stood up, preparing to make a trip to dicine Garden No. 8.
He had already sold off all his spoils of war over the past two days, converting them into over a hundred Magic Stone Coins, which was just enough to buy the Moonlight Orchids and Falling Star Flowers.
"Eee eee!"
Noticing Pei Ze was about to go out, Xiaoyi imdiately rushed over and plopped herself down on his shoulder.
She had been bored stiff at ho these past few days and had been dying to go out. Now that she finally had a chance, she wasn’t going to let it slip by.
Pei Ze let her be.
Although the little one was a first-rate escape artist, the academy was filled with Wizard Apprentices, and there was no guarantee that soone didn’t have a special thod for dealing with a Ten Thousand Flowers Fairy. That’s why Pei Ze never allowed her to run around freely unless she was right beside him.
Given his current reputation, it was unlikely anyone would be foolish enough to make a move on Xiaoyi under normal circumstances.
But it was better to be safe than sorry.
There were always fools in this world whose reason was blinded by greed.
She could have gone hunting with Wuyu, but the little one couldn’t stand the "bloody" sight of Wuyu "eating" crows. After going once, she ca back pale-faced and clung to Pei Ze for half the day to recover. She never dared to go hunting with Wuyu again after that.
"Let’s... go..."
Amidst the little one’s sowhat halting shout, Pei Ze opened the door and walked out of the apartnt.
But as soon as he got downstairs, he ca face to face with Gu Lin.
"What are you doing here?" Pei Ze asked, surprised.
Gu Lin tossed a dinsional pouch to him and said, "What else? I ca to bring you sothing."
Pei Ze opened the dinsional pouch and glanced inside. It was filled with various Gemstones—exactly the materials needed for the Flash Magic Tattoo.
"Thanks," Pei Ze said with a smile, putting the pouch away.
Gu Lin huffed twice, then looked at the apartnt building behind Pei Ze and frowned. "This place is too run-down."
She looked around again. "The surroundings are terrible, too."
Gu Lin had lived in the Inner City for a while. It was only after enrolling in the High Tower Academy that she moved to the Outer City.
And this place couldn’t even compare to the prosperous Inner City; it was far worse than most parts of the Outer City.
That was to be expected, as this was already the fringe of the Outer City.
"You can obviously afford a better place. Why are you still staying here?" Gu Lin asked, confused.
"I’m used to it," Pei Ze said with a shrug.
This was half-truth, half-lie.
He had been reluctant to move for two reasons. On one hand, it was close to the Black Market, making it convenient for him to go there to trade from ti to ti.
On the other hand, he really just found it too troubleso.
In any case, he would have to move into the Ring of Truth after becoming a full-fledged Wizard, so he would have to move again then. There was no need to go through the trouble twice.
"What kind of reason is that?" Gu Lin waved her hand dismissively. "How about this? I’ll arrange a place for you. I guarantee it’ll be a mansion, elegant and comfortable. I can also hire so servants for you, or if you want to buy so non-human retainers, that’s fine too. In short, I’ll make sure you’re living in absolute comfort."
Gu Lin finished her excited speech, only to find Pei Ze staring at her with a half-smile, which made her voice falter.
"Wh-what?"
Pei Ze chuckled. "Out with it. What do you need my help with?"
He refused to believe this girl would be so attentive for no reason. She definitely needed a favor.
"What are you talking about? I genuinely want to help you," Gu Lin said, dissatisfied. But her eyes darted around, a clear sign of a guilty conscience.
Pei Ze didn’t believe her for a second. He said calmly, "If you don’t say it now, I’ll just pretend this conversation never happened."
"...Fine, fine! I do have sothing I need your help with."
Gu Lin finally surrendered. She imdiately put on a fawning smile, clasped her hands together, and said to Pei Ze:
"Can you give a Magic Tattoo, pretty please?"
