Lord: Starting from the Pit-Dwelling Courtyard

Chapter 110: Breakthrough While Asleep

The territory currently only has seven types of knight breathing techniques, but unfortunately, there is no wood-type knight breathing technique among them.

This prevented Ron from having the opportunity to conduct experiments, but it didn't matter. Will was only a late-stage knight, so the effects of his training were not obvious, but Leonardo da Vinci was a peak knight.

"We can use him for experiments," Ron immediately decided.

When Leonardo da Vinci returned, Ron had just finished building a tower.

"Da Vinci, come here and grab this thing of mine!"

Upon hearing this, Leonardo da Vinci immediately jumped back a step, looking at Ron with a terrified expression.

"My lord, as you know, I only like women."

Ron immediately kicked out, "Get out of the way, I want to test your knightly talent."

Leonardo da Vinci asked, puzzled, "Haven't we already tested it?"

"Stop talking nonsense, grasp it, and infuse it with the life force."

Da Vinci did as instructed, and the crystal pillar also emitted light, but unlike before, it could emit light continuously as long as the life force was injected.

Ron, meanwhile, was completely focused on Leonardo da Vinci's attribute panel.

Leonardo da Vinci, cultivation level: Peak of Formal Knight

Physical condition: 23

Power: 26

Spirit: 9

Life Force: 154

Major: Wind Wolf Breathing Technique

With above-average talent and years of life-or-death adventures, the Earth Knight breakthrough requires self-cultivation and calming of a restless heart.

Leonardo da Vinci was a mercenary by birth, so life-and-death adventures were normal for him. He succeeded because of the tests between life and death, and he also failed because of the thrill of life and death.

Ron retrieved the crystal pillar and asked seriously, "Da Vinci, have you been unable to find the opportunity to break through to become an Earth Knight?"

After a long silence, Leonardo da Vinci nodded: "Yes, my lord, I have no sense of any breakthrough whatsoever."

After thinking for a moment, Ron said, "I will teach you a cultivation method. If you can concentrate on cultivating it, you will definitely be able to break through."

Upon hearing that a breakthrough was possible, Leonardo da Vinci also became interested.

"Follow me." Ron sat cross-legged and began to guide Leonardo da Vinci to clear his mind and enter a meditative state.

"Now, let your breathing return to its natural rhythm. You don't need to consciously control it. Just simply feel the temperature of the air as it enters your nasal cavity and the warmth as it leaves."

Ron guided her step by step.

Leonardo da Vinci initially tensed his shoulders and breathed rapidly, as if he were ready to draw his sword at any moment.

Ron wasn't in a hurry. He repeated the guidance three times until Leonardo da Vinci's shoulders slowly relaxed and his breathing changed from rapid to long and even.

Ron could feel his life force calming down from its restlessness.

"Feel your abdomen rise and fall gently with your breath, like ocean waves, in and out."

When Ron's breathing became steady, his lips twitched slightly.

He only heard Leonardo da Vinci snoring; the old man was asleep.

Ron, however, didn't care and began to hypnotize Leonardo da Vinci.

Ron's mental strength has now reached 19 points, which allows him to use almost all auxiliary spells, including hypnosis, whose main purpose is to induce sleep.

Of course, illusionists use hypnosis to cast illusions, but that has nothing to do with Ron.

His hypnosis had only one effect: to completely relax Leonardo da Vinci's body.

As the hypnosis ended, Ron nodded slightly. The next second, a powerful burst of life force erupted, startling Old Hall, who was cultivating in the fortress.

Old Hall rushed over and saw Leonardo da Vinci breaking through to the Earth Knight realm. He then asked with a strange expression, "Young Master, Leonardo da Vinci broke through to the Earth Knight realm while he was asleep?"

Ron's lips curled up slightly when he heard this.

"Your description is very apt. Da Vinci broke through to become an Earth Knight while he was asleep. He was a lucky guy."

Old Hall's eyes were strange; he found that his young master was becoming increasingly unpredictable.

Building magicians are one thing, but now they can even guide knights to break through. Thun broke through to Earth Knight after just one trip with the young master, and Da Vinci broke through even while sleeping in front of the young master.

This is really incredible.

When Leonardo da Vinci awoke, it was already broad daylight.

He rubbed his eyes. "How did I fall asleep!"

Then, the life force within his body surged.

He stood there stunned for a while before slowly clenching his fist.

"I've broken through to become an Earth Knight."

The next day, news that Da Vinci had broken through the Earth Knight's barrier while he was sleeping spread throughout the entire territory.

Fanta grabbed Leonardo da Vinci, who was about to head to the castle district.

"Is everything you said last night true?"

Not only Leonardo da Vinci, but also many knights gathered around.

Wallace, a knight also of mercenary origin and brought over by Wenger, asked with a serious expression, "Da Vinci, you're not kidding, are you?"

"Do you think I got my Earth Knight strength by joking around?!" Da Vinci glared at Wallace, then said seriously, "Back then, the lord said he would teach me a training method, so I followed it and accidentally fell asleep. When I woke up, I felt more relaxed than ever before and even broke through to become an Earth Knight."

Upon hearing about the cultivation method, the knights could no longer sit still and longed to go to the castle district to beg the master to teach them the method.

"Shut up, all of you!" Fanta shouted angrily, interrupting the crowd's discussion.

"Have you forgotten that the goblins are launching a massive attack on our territory in fifteen days?!"

Seeing everyone's unwilling expressions, Fanta felt helpless. In fact, he also wanted to ask the lord for advice.

"During this period, everyone will take turns guarding the lord and will take turns asking the lord for advice."

Upon hearing Fanta's words, the knights were overjoyed, and the knight apprentices who were not far away also squeezed over, only to be chased away by Fanta.

"If you want the lord's guidance, wait until you become official knights," Fanta said sternly. "Da Vinci, I will personally lead the team to protect the lord today, and you will be in charge of today's training."

Leonardo da Vinci froze on the spot, his neck stiff as he said, "Why? I am the lord's chief guard knight."

Fanta was furious and said, "I am the lord's guardian knight. It's just that someone needs to be in charge of the military command of the territory, so I am in charge. Otherwise, it would be your turn to be the guardian knight."

"Oh dear, you're being unreasonable! Are you ready to resort to fists?" Da Vinci was not intimidated at all. He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight Fanta.

"Alright, alright, let me see just how capable you are, you newly appointed Earth Knight!" Fanta clenched his fist, ready to teach Da Vinci a lesson.

Mrs. Moriel stood at the entrance to the training field, holding a stack of scoreboards, her expression as if she were watching two children fighting.

"What are you all doing? Trying to rebel?"

Fanta and Da Vinci immediately put their arms around each other's shoulders.

Leonardo da Vinci immediately put on a fawning smile and said, "Good morning, Mrs. Moriel! We were just discussing some cultivation issues, intending to have a good exchange of ideas."

Finally, after Leonardo da Vinci's subtle maneuver, Fanta realized what was happening and replied, "Yes! Mrs. Moriel, we were just joking."

Mrs. Moriel nodded and said, "In that case, you all stay put. I will lead the Women's Guard to protect the Lord for the next few days."
