Castle's back garden.
David continued practicing the Frost Wolf Breathing Technique.
With dual cultivation during this period, the Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline has improved.
Just now, he felt he could touch the peak of a Tier Three Knight, not far from breaking through to a Tier Four Earth Knight.
Of course, this was just his feeling.
In fact, countless Official Knights have reached this threshold, but only a few truly talented ones break through.
Under normal circumstances, even if the strength reaches the Tier Three Knight peak, plus the assistance of Secret Medicine, this breakthrough time is calculated in years.
Across the entire continent, breaking through to a Tier Four Earth Knight before the age of thirty is enough to be proud.
"It seems I still need to rely on the rebirth brought by bloodline transformation."
David thought to himself.
If his Frost Wolf Bloodline can break through to Tier Five, it should help him cross this threshold.
Looking at the sky, winter nights come particularly early. Now it's only around five o'clock, and the whole sky is pitch black.
Thinking of his two beloved wives, he collected his power and started heading towards the castle, planning to refine his cultivation after dinner and aim for an early breakthrough.
But just as he approached the castle, his steps suddenly paused.
Then his nose twitched, sensing a mysterious scent drifting over, his eyes narrowing.
"Who's there? Come out!"
David swiftly drew his Knight's Sword, activating his Frost Wolf Bloodline within.
As he acted, a figure sprinted out from the shadows at a faster pace.
Ding—
David reacted swiftly, thrusting his sword forward.
The figure blocked the attack with a dagger held horizontally.
But David's Tier Three Peak Knight physique exploded, forcefully sending the figure flying!
It was now that David saw the figure clearly.
The opponent was dressed in tight black clothing, wearing a face veil and hat, with long black hair nestled under the hat.
"A female assassin?" David instinctively judged.
As he was surprised, the female assassin turned to leave.
Frost Wolf Breath!
But David acted simultaneously.
The Ice Power contained in the Tier Four Frost Wolf Bloodline exploded.
The female assassin felt an intense chill envelop her body, leaving her immobile.
She could only watch in dismay as the longsword headed for her neck, with a bone-chilling cold already approaching!
At the critical moment, the shadow behind the female assassin surged, transforming into numerous Dark Tentacles blocking in front!
The Knight's Sword cut through, severing the tentacles!
But more Dark Tentacles emerged, continuing to entangle David!
David quickly retreated, showing a startled expression, "Wizard?!"
He didn't expect to encounter the Wizard he had been searching for.
The Shadow Witch no longer hid, chanting an unknown spell, as countless Dark Tentacles from all directions began encircling David.
David slashed with his Knight's Sword, but as soon as he cut the Dark Tentacles, the Dark Energy would wriggle and reform into new tentacles.
Ordinary physical attacks were ineffective against Dark Tentacles!
David's eyes narrowed, suddenly activating his Fighting Qi. With a slash imbued with Fighting Qi, all the Dark Tentacles dissipated into dense black smoke.
"Tier Four Earth Knight!"
This time, it was the Shadow Witch's turn to show a horrified expression.
Fighting Qi was a powerful force only mastered by Tier Four Earth Knights!
Originally, Duke Frost Wolf had already activated his Frost Wolf Bloodline with strength comparable to a Tier Three Knight, which was enough to amaze her immensely.
Seeing the Fighting Qi on him, she realized how exaggerated the rumors were; Duke Frost Wolf was not a waste but a monster scarier than the Silver Moon Star.
Being a Tier Four Earth Knight before the age of twenty was truly astonishing; even those Legendary Knights were only so in their youth, right?
At this moment, the Shadow Witch only wanted to leave quickly!
"Die!"
But David fully unleashed his attack, determined not to let her go.
All the Dark Tentacles shattered under the powerful Fighting Qi, and the Knight's Sword directly aimed at the Shadow Witch's face!
All defenses seemed fragile when faced with Fighting Qi; one slash broke them all, and the Shadow Witch could already feel the sword's aura approaching, making her tremble all over.
Fortunately, at the last moment, the Shadow Witch retreated into the shadows, narrowly evading as the sword aura clipped her skin, cutting off her face veil.
Beneath the veil was a stunningly beautiful face that surprised even David, but only momentarily. He tightened his grip on the sword and gathered Fighting Qi for a strike to sever her head!
But in that instant, the Shadow Witch's figure vanished into the shadows, disappearing from the spot!
"A power similar to Shadow Escape?"
David was taken aback, swinging his Knight's Sword at the shadows.
But the Shadow Witch had already vanished with the help of the shadows.
The Wizard's power was indeed bizarre.
Even when he unleashed nearly Tier Four Knight strength, he couldn't kill this Shadow Witch who commanded Shadow Power.
David approached the fallen black veil with a somber face, recalling the enchanting face of the female assassin, picking up the veil and taking a sniff.
He closed his eyes, relying on the powerful scent perception granted by his Frost Wolf Bloodline to sense the surroundings' aura, thus confirming the Shadow Witch had left.
"Next time I encounter you, I surely won't let you go." He snorted coldly; though he didn't know her intentions, such sneaky behavior surely posed a threat, and he wouldn't spare anyone who threatened him!
Even if she's a Witch, he won't hesitate.
Collecting the veil, David maintained his Frost Wolf Ice Armor while searching the area before dispelling the armor and heading back to the castle.
This night, Frost Wolf Ridge was destined to be restless.
David changed his usual gentleness, venturing boldly on the battlefield.
