Levi expressed his gratitude to Anderson.
After returning home, Levi ordered his subordinates to strengthen the patrols in Flower City.
"I have to say, the Blood Clan members are troublesome,” Levi sighed in his heart.
In this situation, he could only try to increase his strength before possible revenge arrived.
Levi was not afraid of the others as long as it was not Anderson, a legendary knight, or a member of the Blood Clan.
With his trump card, if these Blood Clan members dared to provoke him, he would kill them.
Of course, resolving the conflict through a knight would be better.
It was the new year 107 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar.
Levi’s Insect Controlling Technique was now at level 3.
The number of Saint Scorpions he could control had reached a hundred.
He only had so many Saint Scorpions now.
Levi opened Bug House, and 100 Saint Scorpions swarmed out.
They gathered around Levi’s body, and Levi gave them orders through the Insect Control Technique.
The current Levi could already control these Saint Scorpions to perform attack commands.
Of course, Levi still had limited use of the level 3 Insect Controlling Technique.
He would have to reach level 4 to be more effective.
However, there was a problem. Levi did not have enough Saint Scorpions.
Fortunately, there were male and female Saint Scorpions among the hundred. It was not a problem for them to reproduce continuously, but it would take some time.
Levi could tell that the development of these Saint Scorpions differed significantly from one to another.
Some of them were huge and ferocious, while others were smaller and listless.
This involved a vital research field of the School of Insects: breeding mutated insects. They would constantly select Saint Scorpions with good bloodlines and quality for targeted breeding. They would be fed with particular evolutionary drugs, and their offspring would have a higher probability of giving birth to stronger Saint Scorpions.
This was the method of human intervention to make the Saint Scorpions mutate in a good direction continuously.
Ultimately, this low-grade insect might one day transform into a terrifying high-grade insect.
However, Levi did not have enough knowledge in this area. Culturing the Saint
Scorpions involved a lot of wizard knowledge, including pharmaceutics, mutation, bloodline, and even alchemy. He had not learned any of these systematically, so he could only let nature take its course.
When he reached the wizarding world, he could try to cultivate it.
During this period, besides the breakthrough in his Insect Controlling Technique, Levi had another breakthrough: the Black Snake Breathing Technique. He had successfully reached the limit of level 10.
[Black Snake Breathing Technique: Level 10 (Maximum, breakthrough available), Special Effect: Black Scale (Liquid)]
With the level 10 Black Snake Breathing Technique, Levi successfully advanced
To the ranks of the strongest knight below legendary.
At this stage, he was more potent than the so-called top grand knight and was only a step away from becoming legendary. According to some online novels in his previous life, he could be called a half-step legendary knight. The former White Horse Knight, the Fist of the Empire, and the Duke of Montenegro were all experts at this level.
An ordinary grand knight was no match for a powerhouse like them. Only a top-tier great knight could barely fight them.
Previously, Levi had relied on his many breathing techniques and his all-rounded attributes to be comparable to a top-tier grand knight. Levi depended entirely on his cultivation to be on par with the Fist of the Empire.
At Levi’s heart, the Black Snake Seed was even more lifelike. The Black Snake with a Candle was extraordinary, and its eyes were sharp, emitting a mighty majesty.
Beneath the black snake were the two-legged giant beasts roaring at the sky.
There were also Frost Giants, Blood Whales, Siren, Giant Rhinoceroses, Ostrich Mountain, Blood Beasts, Thunder Wolves, Vortex Beasts, etc.
Countless ancient legendary beasts were fighting inside Levi’s body, making it lively.
This made Levi feel like his body had turned into a zoo.
Levi came out of his seclusion. Suddenly, he felt a warmth in his chest.
He hurriedly took out the fire paper from his chest.
Then, to Levi’s surprise, the fire paper started to emit green smoke and self-ignite.
"There’s finally news.”
Levi complained. He had waited bitterly for a few years.
There was finally news from the four great families.
"There’s no time to find a successor.”
Suddenly, Levi thought of something. If he left, what would happen to his territory?
He had yet to settle these matters.
Levi packed up his essential items while thinking of countermeasures.
He had thought about this problem before.
He had also found some candidates.
However, although these people had good management skills and were loyal to him, their strength was not much.
Take Sam, for example. Although Sam was now an official knight and Levi trusted him, Sam’s prestige in Flower City was far from enough.
With their opponents’ strength, they would probably get restless if Levi left his territories for long and never returned.
Everyone only behaved like obedient babies under Levi’s fierce might.
Once Levi left, it would not be long before many took risks driven by their interests. At that time, it was very likely that they would usurp power and take their territory’s wealth.
Therefore, Levi had always wanted a grand knight loyal to him to manage his territory..
