On a nameless island, Levi’s aura was majestic and unfathomable as he stood tall and mighty.
"Cough… I lost.”
Emperor Mu was not discouraged. He got up and came to Levi. The black fur on his body slowly receded, and his ape-like furry palm with sharp nails gradually turned into a human palm.
"Are your hands your supernatural organ?” Levi asked.
"That’s right. Your supernatural organ is that snake’s tongue, right?” Emperor Mu also asked.
"Yes.”
"Fascinating. Such supernatural organs are indeed rare,” said Emperor Mu.
"Do you know any other reliable legendary knights?” Levi asked.
He had long had the ambition to find other legendary knights to collect all the techniques in the world. He would combine all the techniques and finally become a true supreme knight!
Finding these legendary knights scattered around the world alone would be
Difficult.
Therefore, Levi needed some help.
He hadn’t known Emperor Mu for long, but Levi felt that Emperor Mu was a pure martial arts maniac and was worth befriending.
"No.” Emperor Mu shook his head. “I’ve just reached the legendary realm.
You’re the only legendary knight I’ve met.”
"Legendary knights are too rare,” lamented Levi.
"Oh right, this is the sword skill inheritance book I found on Golden Knight Gregor’s lost treasure ship. As per our agreement, it is yours.” Emperor Mu took out an ancient and derelict book. There were even traces of green algae on it. Levi could pick up the salty and wet smell of the sea from it.
Emperor Mu sighed, “This was the crowning achievement of Gregor’s life. He earned his title of Golden Knight because of this powerful sword skill. It shouldn’t be lost sitting at the bottom of a dark seabed. Alas, I am not powerful enough to force you to use your sword skill.”
Levi accepted the ancient sword technique manuscript.
"Thank you very much,” Levi said.
Emperor Mu nodded.
After that, Levi and Emperor Mu talked about their experiences as legendary knights on the island. They had a good time and were inspired by each other.
By the time they finished chatting, it was already daybreak.
The golden sun appeared on the horizon.
"It’s time for us to leave.”
Levi used the Dragon King Whale to bring Emperor Mu to the Azure Ship before he left.
He and Emperor Mu agreed to meet and spar once yearly to exchange their knowledge on the way of knights.
Emperor Mu’s Saint Ape Breathing Technique was a powerful breathing technique on par with the Red Lotus Breathing Technique. They were both strength-based.
The Saint Ape was a powerful mythical creature. Legend had it that the Saint Ape had boundless strength and received the world’s blessings. Mountains and rivers trembled at its breath. With a wave of its hand, the stars, the sun, and the moon dimmed.
At Levi’s current realm, he felt that every breathing technique, especially those of excellent or perfect quality, had unlimited potential to tap into.
With the proficiency panel, he could cultivate the breathing techniques to their limits and break through the limits again and again. In the process, he attempted to break through the shackles of the legendary realm repeatedly.
He wondered how Emperor Mu, Blood Knight Anderson, and the others could break through these shackles without the proficiency panel.
Levi felt that their chances were slim.
Assuming the breathing techniques continuously purified one’s bloodline and continually evolved towards their supreme form, logically speaking, Anderson, who was a legendary knight from the Blood Clan, should also be able to cultivate the Blood Beast Breathing Technique. Perhaps Levi could exchange his Blood Beast Breathing Technique for Anderson’s breathing technique.
Levi also noticed that Emperor Mu’s blood was light golden. He had seen Emperor Mu bleed before, but it was not light golden then.
Now that it had turned pale gold, there were only two possibilities.
The first possibility was that after Emperor Mu advanced to the legendary realm, his blood changed due to the effects of the Saint Ape Breathing Technique.
The second possibility was that Emperor Mu had inherited Golden Knight Gregor’s legacy. Emperor Mu was somehow granted a part of the Golden Bloodline through the latter’s legacy.
It was even possible that Emperor Mu was practicing the breathing technique of Golden Knight Gregor.
Levi thought aloud, “Let’s say the conditions to advance to the legendary realm are possessing a supernatural organ and having a spiritual force that matches that of a mid-level apprentice wizard. If I want to break through the shackles of the legendary realm, perhaps I have to possess another supernatural organ, and my spiritual force has to match that of a high-level apprentice wizard.”
Levi was unsure. No one had told him how to advance past the legendary realm, so he could only figure it out himself.
Levi muttered, “Neither Emperor Mu nor Anderson have the proficiency panel, so they can’t surpass the limits of their breathing techniques. Therefore, according to the standards of the proficiency panel, Emperor Mu’s Saint Ape Breathing Technique and Anderson’s breathing technique should be at the limit of Level 11.”
Levi speculated that to acquire a second supernatural organ, he might need to upgrade the Black Snake Breathing Technique to a higher level. Perhaps at level 12 or level 13, he could condense another supernatural organ related to the Black Snake again.
He could also cultivate a second breathing technique to the limit of Level 11 and acquire a second supernatural organ besides that of the Black Snake.
Therefore, if Emperor Mu or Anderson wanted to break through the shackles of the legendary realm, they would have to cultivate another breathing technique to the legendary realm. From there, they could acquire a second supernatural organ.
However, powerful breathing techniques were restricted to bloodlines. Unless they had fateful encounters, it would be challenging for Emperor Mu or Anderson to learn other breathing techniques. The breathing techniques that were not restricted by bloodlines were shallow. Levi had the proficiency panel, so he could merge other breathing techniques and forcefully raise the limits of these shallow breathing techniques. However, for Emperor Mu and the others, learning these shallow breathing techniques was a waste of time..
