In the evening, the two were having dinner, and Viscount Harris was contemplating how to get Daniel to undergo knight training. He understood that if he couldn't make his son interested on his own, even force wouldn't work.
Unexpectedly, Daniel said, "Father, I have decided to undergo knight training and become a brave knight. I wonder how you trained? Our Harris Family must have some secret techniques or methods that can speed up the training."
Viscount Harris laughed heartily, feeling quite proud. "Our Harris Family has a legacy of over three hundred years, of course we have secrets. Come, I'll take you to see."
He led Daniel to the study and, after feeling around in the corner, revealed a hidden room.
Daniel often visited the study but had no idea there was a hidden room here. Viscount Harris took out two books from the central box and handed them to Daniel.
"Look, these are the secret manuals passed down in our family: Southern Cross Sword Technique and Bear Strength Breathing Technique. As long as you practice according to them, I guarantee you will become a knight, and it’s even possible for you to become a Great Knight."
Daniel flipped through them briefly before returning them to Viscount Harris.
Viscount Harris happily patted his shoulder and advised him not to aim too high too soon. He should first focus on basic practice and build a solid foundation; later on, he would be allowed to cultivate further.
Little did he know that Daniel had already memorized the entire book and could refer back to it whenever needed.
Back in his bedroom, Daniel reviewed the Bear Strength Breathing Technique, which could be considered the most important treasure of the Harris Family. It was this technique that had sustained generations of knightly heritage in the Harris Family.
Without the Bear Strength Breathing Technique, the Harris Family could never have become a viscount family.
Ordinary people wanting to become knights must break through their limits time and again in tedious foundational practices, pushing their physical strength closer to human limits.
The process is arduous; wanting to break through physical limits and gain more powerful strength is not easy at all. Among ten people, only one may succeed in bringing their physical power close to the limits of the human body, which is already quite rare.
Then, one must fight bloodily on the battlefield, understanding the meaning of life between life and death, using the blood of enemies as a stimulus, ultimately gaining life energy and becoming a knight. This can be incredibly difficult.
However, with this book, one only needs to follow the training to become a prospective knight.
Knights not only possess physical qualities several times greater than ordinary people but are also proficient in various weapons and methods of killing. Some knights even master secret techniques that can unleash power in an instant.
The Bear Strength Breathing Technique of the Harris Family allows individuals to significantly increase their strength beyond that of ordinary knights, doubling their power. Even in the Dover Duchy, it is a well-known breathing method.
According to Daniel's understanding, breathing techniques are methods of self-cultivation summarized by knights. They are somewhat similar to internal skills from his previous life, where one strengthens their vital energy through breath circulation, ultimately stimulating blood energy. However, it is much coarser and only roughly indicates the direction.
After practicing for a while, Daniel stopped.
"Chip, establish a model for practicing the breathing technique based on each cycle and body data. Find the most suitable breathing method."
With the command given, three-dimensional silhouettes appeared in Daniel's mind, identical to him but semi-transparent.
These represent the changes recorded each time he practiced the breathing technique, detailing what changes would occur in his body after each session.
After all, humans are not machines; there are no errors in actions. Each practice session has many uncontrollable factors that can lead to deviations from the expected results. Daniel's current goal is to find the most suitable method for himself.
As he continued to practice repeatedly, the silhouettes began to change. Some showed problems with their lungs, others had shadows on their limbs, and then one by one they collapsed until only one remained.
Daniel stroked his chin, pondering quietly. It seemed that improper use of breathing techniques could cause certain hidden injuries to the body.
Perhaps when one is young and vigorous, these issues may not manifest, but as one ages, they can erupt fully and affect health. This should be the reason why knights often encounter problems in their later years.
The figure that remained was currently the most suitable method for him to cultivate. Glancing at the number of times it had been executed beside the figure, he noted that it was only a little over ten thousand times. He understood that there might still be some issues, but due to the short duration of operation, they had not been discovered.
This was already sufficient; after he practiced for a while, he could simulate the breathing technique and seek a method that suited him better.
He attempted to practice the breathing technique, aligning every subtle movement towards the final figure. After practicing for a while, Daniel took advantage of mealtime to check his progress.
Daniel Harris
Strength: 06 (16554)
Agility: 06 (54151)
Constitution: 05 (64151)
These were based on the physiological indicators of an adult; theoretically, normal adults should have indicators around one.
As for the numbers in parentheses, they were specifically marked by the chip for him to review, indicating the digits after the decimal point.
After training for a period, his strength increased by 0041461, agility by 00451041, and constitution by 0081545.
An increase of 00 in strength in such a short time was quite impressive. Based on this standard, even if the effects gradually diminished, he could reach a strength of 15 in six months and 19 in a year. That was indeed a terrifying figure.
This was already close to the human limit; even seasoned strongmen who trained for years would only reach this standard. It was nearly impossible to increase further.
In his previous life, even if strongmen trained diligently, their strength would max out around 19. They could only approach infinity but never actually reached it.
He just didn't know what a true knight was like. He looked up at his father.
Baron Harris: Strength 5, Agility 6, Constitution 9
(Warning: This creature is too dangerous, please be cautious.)
The bright red text left Daniel in shock.
An average of 0 in stats completely outclassed the world champion from his previous life; in that world, he could easily wear his underwear outside like a superhero.
A Constitution of 9 represented a person's resistance to damage and recovery speed, which were more than three times that of an ordinary person. It wasn't as simple as just adding numbers together.
A Strength of 5 meant this person could easily lift a thousand-pound cauldron, not much more difficult than lifting a stool for an average person.
Wearing Armor, he could roam freely on the battlefield, breaking through thousands of troops and determining the outcome of battles by his own strength.
This was just as a knight with the title of Viscount; how strong could a Great Knight be? What about a Legendary Knight?
It seemed that his understanding of knights' abilities was not as simple as it had been in his previous life.
Thinking this, Daniel issued an order. The chip began filtering books related to knights.
Suddenly, a stream of data flashed before Daniel's eyes.
The books that had already been input into the chip were all lined up, and they all mentioned knights at some point. Daniel checked over three hundred books and found that two hundred thirteen of them mentioned knights.
"Chip, filter the books related to knight training."
Out of the two hundred thirteen books that appeared, many faded away, leaving only six.
Daniel opened them and found that they contained very ordinary training methods, focusing on repeated exercises to hone physical strength.
There was nothing special, let alone any breathing techniques. He shook his head in frustration. It seemed that the training methods for knights had long been monopolized by the nobility. Fortunately, he was a noble himself, and his family already possessed breathing techniques.
After thinking for a moment, Daniel commanded, "Chip, search for methods to enhance strength."
Coming from modern society, Daniel was not narrow-minded and naturally would not rely solely on the field of knights to improve his strength.
After all, in his past life, he had seen so much; when had he ever seen a knight conquer everything without any other extraordinary powers?
He had never heard of such a thing; it was just that he hadn't encountered it yet. Who could guarantee that being a knight was the best choice?
Countless pieces of data appeared in his mind and quickly flowed through, forming a beautiful light screen. The search concluded with four methods discovered.
Knight, Archer, Warrior, Berserker... Mage, Sorcerer, Diviner.
Daniel looked at the results; there were many options. However, they could generally be divided into two categories: those focused on physicality—knights, Archers, and Warriors—and those centered around mystical powers—Mages, Priests, and Sorcerers.
Why is it that until now, he has only been exposed to knight training? Unlike other Archers, Warriors, and Berserkers, whose training methods differ but are all based on physical prowess, it can also be understood as a lack of experience and exposure.
However, he has never even heard of Magicians or Sorcerers who wield mysterious powers.
Daniel thought for a moment and issued a command. "Chip, search for how to become a Magician."
A Mage, indeed, is the most noble profession among them; they are enigmatic and command mysterious forces.
How could they be compared to those physical training mud-legged individuals? Since such a profession exists, he naturally wants to choose to be a Magician.
At this moment, he completely forgot that he himself was just a mud-legged individual undergoing knight training.
Another stream of data passed by. Then only the words "Insufficient Data" remained.
Daniel fell silent. How could there possibly be insufficient data!
This was a library collected over hundreds of years by a Baron, yet he still did not know how to become a Magician. How could that be! Even if Magicians are the most mysterious, there should be some clues unless someone is deliberately hiding them.
