Chapter 146 Crimson Lotus Form + Nine Swords Form vs. Formal Wizard! (1.2-word chapter, please subscribe!)

Li Wei——————

Black Demon Blade: Tier 3 (1/10000)

……

According to the creator of the Black Blade.

After the Black Demon Blade reaches the third tier, the black energy can condense into a black energy incarnation, also known as being possessed by evil spirits!

The appearance of this "evil spirit" is formed according to Li Wei's mental state; it is random and not under Li Wei's control.

Li Wei stood in front of the mirror, gazing at his 2.2-meter-tall frame. Behind him was an abstract and towering phantom.

He was even stronger than Li Wei, with muscles as exaggerated as those of Star Platinum, and a height of three meters. This black figure was covered in armor resembling scales, and had six arms, each as thick as a bucket, with each arm holding a black longsword.

The most outrageous thing is that this evil spirit actually has three heads. The one on the right is angry, the one on the left is grinning, and the one in the middle is expressionless, without any joy or sorrow.

Each of the three heads had a long sword in its mouth.

Therefore, this evil spirit possesses a total of nine longswords, which seems quite exaggerated.

Given Li Wei's current level of control over the dark energy, he is not yet able to reveal the detailed appearance and some details of the evil spirit; only some outlines can be vaguely seen.

But the sheer ferocity of that silhouette alone was more terrifying than any evil spirit Li Wei had ever seen.

He stared at the evil spirit's appearance and then muttered to himself.

"A three-headed, six-armed Asura wielding nine swords, with a blue face and fangs—good heavens, he's practically a demon king crawled out of the abyss!"

"I'll call you Nine Swords Asura."

Li Wei called the evil spirits born from his own mind: Nine-Sword Asura.

Overall, the art style of this evil spirit is somewhat out of place in this world.

Perhaps it's because I come from another world, and my mind has been influenced and nurtured by the culture of my previous life.

To Li Wei's surprise, the third tier of the Black Demon Blade was not the limit; he could continue to cultivate it.

This made him somewhat anticipate the power of the Black Demon Blade after it reached its limit.

He arrived at a room specifically for wizard apprentices to test the power of their spells. The room was very sturdy, and under normal circumstances, the wizard apprentices' magic tricks would not have any effect on the room.

Li Wei clenched his fist and stretched his muscles. The evil spirit stand-in behind him, "Nine Swords Asura," did the same thing as Li Wei until he finished warming up.

He didn't use the power of the Ripple; he simply clenched his fist and slammed it against the wall.

The same was true of the Nine Swords Asura behind him; the three-meter-tall phantom clenched its fist, and the black qi fist made the same movement as Li Wei.

Li Wei and the evil spirit's attack overlapped!

boom!

The air exploded, the walls trembled, and debris flew everywhere!

A fist-shaped mark appeared on the wall.

The wall, which was strong enough to withstand any apprentice-level magic trick, was actually shaken to the point of leaving a fist mark by Li Wei's ordinary punch.

It's hard to imagine that if I were to unleash the Golden Ripple Palm, the power of this evil spirit's punch would probably be enough to shatter this wall.

"That's terrifying. I wonder if it can break through the defenses of a formal wizard," Li Wei remarked.

A few minutes later, Li Wei's evil spirit substitute, Nine Swords Asura, suddenly dissipated on its own.

With Li Wei's current third-tier Black Demon Blade, this substitute can only last for a few minutes.

"Great, we've added another trump card."

"With my current Nine Swords form, combined with the explosive power of my Crimson Lotus form, even a legendary knight shouldn't be able to withstand a single punch from me, right?"

Li Wei refers to the state of burning Crimson Lotus Blood as the "Crimson Lotus Form," which is his strongest form without using any wizard-related abilities. He can fight against Andrew, who is comparable to a legendary knight, without being at a disadvantage.

Now, Li Wei has a new form, which he calls the "Nine Swords Form".

He intuitively felt that with these two forms combined, the legendary knight was no longer a match for him.

After studying the abilities of the Nine Swords Forms, Li Wei opened the proficiency panel.

Li Wei————

Deep Sea Meditation Method: Level Two (3/5000)

Insect Control Technique: Tier 3 (690/10000)

Flower Fairy's Dew: Tier 3 (5678/10000)

……

Li Wei's mental strength has now advanced to the level of a mid-level wizard apprentice, and his maximum magical power is 43 points.

An intermediate wizarding apprentice can master five zero-ring tricks.

Of the five spell slots, Li Wei only used two.

He still has three spell slots left, and he needs to learn an offensive and defensive spell as a transition.

Although he was a very strong knight, this was, after all, a wizarding world, and the knights' methods were far too limited compared to those of wizards.

Moreover, he cannot fail the practical assessment every year. If he fails for several consecutive years, he will be removed from the Grey Tower Wizard Apprenticeship.

He has now become an advanced pharmaceutical apprentice.

This can be considered as fulfilling the witch Mylene's request.

He was going to find Ms. Mai Lin next.

……

On the third floor of the White Tower, Teacher Merlin watched as Li Wei concocted two potions: Smurf's Leap and Blood Elf's Lament.

Li Wei refined ten sets of materials, and succeeded in seven of them.

This is already at the level of an advanced pharmaceutical apprentice.

"Slap, slap, slap."

Ms. Mai Lin smiled happily and applauded for Li Wei. She walked up to Li Wei.

"Little Li Wei, you've really surprised your teacher so much. You were born to be a pharmacist," Mylene exclaimed.

"Teacher, you flatter me. I just used the time others spent sleeping to make medicine," Li Wei said modestly.

The kind-looking Granny Mai smiled so much that the wrinkles on her face trembled. She stood up and said with a smile:

"Now that you have advanced to the rank of Advanced Medicine Apprentice, I will give you a period of special training. After the training is completed, I need you and three other Advanced Medicine Apprentices to assist me in refining a second-level potion, [Eye of the Beholder]."

"Okay, teacher."

As far as Li Wei knew, the Eye of the Demon was an extremely precious potion that could directly and bluntly increase the mental strength limit of a first-ring wizard. Most importantly, it could also increase the probability of a first-ring wizard breaking through to the second ring.

Li Wei guessed that the medicine was probably for Teacher Mai Lin's own use.

He knew that Teacher Mylin had been at the first-ring wizard stage for a hundred years, and she should have been stuck on the threshold of breaking through to the second ring long ago, but because of her talent as the Child of Chaos, she had been unable to break through for a long time.

Now that Teacher Mylin is getting old, she can't wait any longer. This time, she is making a second-circle potion for two reasons: firstly, to get certified as a second-circle alchemist, and secondly, so that she can break through to become a second-circle wizard.

Over the next month, Mylene gave Levi targeted training, which mainly focused on the crafting of the second-level potion, [Eye of the Beholder], covering everything from the potion formula to the crafting method and precautions.

Mai Lin trained Li Wei repeatedly.

Although Li Wei only played a supporting role in this refining process, he still needed to be familiar with all aspects of the potion in order to better assist his teacher.

A month later, under Teacher Mai Lin's special training, Li Wei's proficiency in fifth-order medicine making improved significantly.

Li Wei felt that he might even become a first-circle apothecary before advancing to the rank of a formal wizard.

In addition, Li Wei also obtained an extremely valuable second-level potion recipe for free, a recipe that is not available for exchange in the Gray Tower.

Inside the tower, only apprentice-level potion recipes can be exchanged.

Mylene really went to great lengths to make this potion.

Moreover, she now regards Li Wei as her personal disciple. If she fails to break through to the second-ring wizard level, her skills will not be lost before she dies.

Although wizards value the protection of intellectual property rights, witches like Mylene, who have no offspring, hope even more that their lineage can continue, and the way to do so is naturally through master-disciple succession.

Li Wei was also sincerely grateful for Teacher Mai Lin's guidance.

He was very pleased that the atmosphere of the entire Grey Tower was exactly what he had envisioned for a wizarding organization.

Everyone is busy with their own things and doesn't bother each other, but there is still some warmth in the atmosphere.

That would be the best.

On the vast, endless sea, the gray and white twin towers on the small island have become a haven where Li Wei can cultivate in peace.

After the special training is completed.

On a sunny midday.

Teacher Merlin, along with Levi and another high-ranking wizard apprentice from the Gray Tower besides Levi, arrived at the coast.

They were waiting for the "bus" on that route.

The wizards called it the "Azure Ship".

That is, the ancient giant ship that Li Wei came on.

These giant ships were developed by the wizards of the Tower of Stars; they are fully automated, unmanned maritime vehicles.

Under the influence of the magic array, they absorb the power of water and fire elements from heaven and earth, transforming it into the driving force for their journey, and then endlessly sail on the safe routes pioneered by the wizarding pioneers of the Azure Realm.

These routes basically cover all the wizarding organizations, large and small, in the Endless Sea, with one flight arriving at the Gray Tower approximately every week.

Although wizards have developed advanced spatial teleportation spells, it is clear that only high-level wizards can learn and master them.

First-circle wizards usually learn a flight spell, but these are all short-range spells and they can't fly long distances.

Therefore, traveling by Azure Ark remains an important way for wizards in the Azure Realm to communicate between islands.

This time, Wizard Mylene is taking Levi and the others to a relatively far place, Whale Song Island.

To obtain certification as a second-tier pharmacist, you must go through the pharmacists' association.

The only branch of the Pharmacist Association in this sea area is located on Whale Song Island.

The president is the second-ring pharmacist from Whale Song Island. This branch of the Pharmacist Association only has five first-ring pharmacists, while the number of official wizards in the more than ten wizarding organizations in this sea area exceeds fifty.

This shows that there are very few qualified pharmacists.

Basically, only one in ten formal wizards is a formal apothecary.

Therefore, potions of level one and above are extremely expensive. Li Wei's future plan is to become a level one pharmacist as soon as possible and then make money by selling those level one potions.

Of course, a formal pharmacist would probably need to be a seventh-level pharmacist, which is still a long way from Li Wei's level.

The Azure Ship has arrived.

The witch Mylin took out her staff and began chanting a spell. Then, Levi saw a pair of magnificent golden wings suddenly unfold behind her, wings that were a full two zhang wide.

"You two take the White Tower No. 7 and hurry over. I'll go ahead first."

After speaking, Mai Lin flapped her wings and transformed into an arc of light, quickly flying forward.

Li Wei felt envious and longed to become a formal wizard as soon as possible so he could learn a flying spell.

Being able to fly was Li Wei's lifelong dream.

"Speaking of which, my Blood Beast Breathing Technique can also generate blood wings, but they are too short to fly. I wonder if I can fly if the special effects are upgraded in the future." Li Wei thought of his breathing technique.

Perhaps, one day, I won't need magic at all; I can simply open my blood wings and fly high into the sky!

After finishing his daydream, Li Wei and the high-ranking wizard apprentice boarded the White Tower No. 7.

This high-ranking wizard apprentice was named Oliver.

He looks to be almost sixty years old.

Frankly speaking, at this age, if he hasn't broken through to become a formal wizard, it will be very difficult for him to become one in the future. He will probably be expelled from the Gray Tower soon.

So Oliver focused his attention on medicine making and eventually became a high wizard apprentice. Many of the potions in White Sail Alley were made by Oliver.

"I didn't expect that Junior Brother Li Wei would become a senior medicine apprentice after only half a year in the tower." Oliver's expression was full of envy. He had been immersed in the art of medicine for decades before he could barely become a senior medicine apprentice.

This junior apprentice, Li Wei, looks to be under forty years old. He has only been in the tower for half a year, yet he is already a senior pharmaceutical apprentice and has gained the attention of Teacher Mai Lin.

This made him very envious.

"I only have a foundation in medicine because I started learning medicine making when I was in the human world. Senior brother, you flatter me," Li Wei said.

"Junior brother is too modest. I live on the 26th floor. If you have the chance, you can come to my place and we can exchange pharmaceutical experience," Oliver said.

Li Wei naturally agreed politely.

Soon, the two of them boarded the Azure Ship.

The giant ship sailed through the waves, and Ms. Meryl was meditating alone. Levi and Oliver didn't disturb her and each found a cabin to rest.

Most wizards are quite reserved; long hours of research and rest make them dislike talking and prefer enjoying solitude.

This voyage will take three days, and Li Wei certainly can't waste this time.

Li Wei plans to start making potions to earn points after returning from this trip, and then buy two spell models so that he can officially become a mid-level wizard apprentice.

He now possesses the mental strength of a mid-level wizard apprentice, but lacks corresponding practical spells.

He possesses considerable strength, and still operates with the knightly style.

He can only be considered a half-baked wizard.

Moreover, after reaching the second level of Deep Sea Meditation, a full 5,000 proficiency points are required to reach the third level.

After reaching the second tier, Li Wei can gain 2 proficiency points per day through meditation.

At the current pace of 2 proficiency points per day,

It would take Livy seven years to reach the rank of advanced wizard apprentice.

Li Wei was thirty-five years old at that time.

Although this speed is actually much faster than that of other Chaos Children, Li Wei is certainly not satisfied with the status quo.

Meditation potions to aid in mental cultivation also need to be prepared.

The three days of practice on the ship passed quickly.

As the azure ship slowly arrived at the port, Li Wei finally saw the solitary island standing tall in the sea.

This island is called Whale Song Island, and it is several times larger than the island where the Gray Tower is located.

In the Endless Sea, the more powerful an organization is, the larger the island it occupies, and the larger the island, the more cultivation resources it has.

Of course, for wizards of the Endless Sea, since most of their practice is the meditation and spells of the Ocean School, their cultivation resources mainly come from the vast ocean, with only a small portion coming from islands.

Levi and Oliver followed behind Meryl, where someone was already waiting for them at the port of Whale Song Island.

Mai Lin is, after all, a first-level pharmacist, and her status and reputation are quite significant in this sea area.

"Ms. Meryl, I have been waiting for you for a long time," a formal wizard dressed in a blue robe with whale patterns said with a smile.

Because the wizards of the Gray Tower are relatively friendly, the Gray Tower has a good relationship with most of the forces in this sea area.

Of course, there are also some with bad relations, such as the Ship of the Dead, which is a wizarding organization of the school of death. The tower master Herman once killed the vice-captain of the Ship of the Dead, so the two sides are already in an irreconcilable conflict.

That first mate was involved in some lawless thuggery at sea, during one robbery...

The death of Herman's beloved partner was something Herman couldn't tolerate, so he seized an opportunity to kill the first mate, thus eliminating one of the only two second-circle wizards on the ship of the dead.

Hermann lost his right hand during that battle, which is why he began to study alchemy and installed an alchemical prosthetic body on himself.

On the other hand, the loss of a second-circle wizard on the Ship of the Dead is something no organization can afford.

Ultimately, the ruling of the Wizarding Inquisition, a branch of the Pan-Dimensional Wizarding Council, was as follows:

The first mate bears most of the responsibility for his death. Herman's desire to avenge his wife is understandable, but killing a precious second-circle wizard is inappropriate. Herman paid the ship of the dead 8000 dolphins in compensation, and that was the end of the matter.

Herman paid the compensation according to the court's ruling, but the Ship of the Dead was relentless and broke away from the Pan-Dimensional Wizarding Council. This way, they would no longer be bound by the rules of the Pan-Dimensional Wizarding Council, but of course, they would no longer be able to enjoy the protection of the Pan-Dimensional Wizarding Council in the future.

In the Azure Realm, this kind of organization is known as the "Illegal Wizarding Organization" or the "Black Wizarding Organization".

Decades ago, the owner of the Ship of the Dead launched a wizard war against the Gray Tower.

They were eventually defeated by the tower master, but the ship of the dead did not give up. After becoming a black wizard organization, they became lawless and acted like pirates, hiding from the law enforcement officers of the Wizard Inquisition while becoming pirates in this sea area.

Li Wei, who was well-versed in the ways of the world, already knew the social relationships in the Gray Tower like the back of his hand, so that he could avoid some unnecessary trouble when he went out in the future.

If it weren't for Teacher Mai Lin, Li Wei might never have come to Whale Song Island.

He remembered that Angeli, who had come in at the same time as him and was a bisexual, was an apprentice in this organization.

That kid has a third-ring wizard as his teacher, he's bound to improve very quickly.

The arrival of Wizard Merlin caused quite a stir on Whale Song Island.

Finally, Li Wei met the legendary second-ring pharmacist, the only second-ring pharmacist in this sea area.

The apothecary was a tall, thin wizard named Angus.

He himself possesses the strength of a second-ring wizard and is the second-in-command on Whale Song Island.

Li Wei followed silently behind Teacher Mai Lin, going wherever she went.

Whale Song Island has a total of twelve first-ring wizards, two second-ring wizards, and one third-ring mid-level wizard.

Its strength is unparalleled in this sea area. If it weren't for the Pan-Dimensional Wizarding Council's legislation prohibiting the indiscriminate initiation of internal wars between wizarding organizations, Whale Song Island might have already unified this sea area.

"Ms. Mylene, what kind of potion do you plan to use to certify yourself as a second-ring pharmacist this time?" Angus asked expressionlessly.

"Lord Angus, I would like to use the Eye of the Bewitching to verify my second ring," Mylene said with a smile.

"It's actually the Gaze of the Eye Demon. This second-ring potion is not easy to make; it's considered quite difficult even among second-ring potions." Angus was slightly surprised.

"I heard you've brought in four advanced pharmaceutical apprentices to assist you," Angus asked again.

"Yes, but I do the main work; they just do some auxiliary work," said the witch Mylene.

"It's alright. According to the Pharmacist Association's certification rules, you can have apprentices do auxiliary work, as long as you do the main work," Angus said.

After some necessary communication, Ms. Merlin, led by President Angus, arrived at a pharmaceutical room.

The association's other two first-line pharmacists are also here.

To become a certified second-tier pharmacist, at least three pharmacists from the association, including the association president, must be present to witness the process.

Teacher Mai Lin got busy, and the four assistants, including Li Wei, also began to do their work according to what the teacher had taught them.

Li Wei carefully observed each step of his teacher's work. These were invaluable experiences, and this experience would be of great help to Li Wei when he applied for pharmacist certification in the future.

The preparation work for refining the second-level potion took half a day. Li Wei and the others were busy, but the most crucial moment was not yet here.

"Little Levi, Oliver... Next, the four of you will simultaneously begin refining the four auxiliary potions for the Eye Demon Potion, just as I taught you. When my potion reaches the final step, you will simultaneously pour the potions into my cauldron."

The witch Mylin looked serious. She had been preparing for a long time to refine the precious second-ring potion. The consumption of the Tai Shi in this process was something that ordinary first-ring wizards could not afford.

The certification fee alone is a full thousand taels of silver. Otherwise, why would the pharmacists in the association, who are busy making money and researching medicines every day, waste their time to certify you?

Therefore, only success is allowed; failure is not an option.

The potion was being prepared, and Li Wei also got busy. In his own potion-making room, he followed his teacher's instructions methodically, and Li Wei was confident in himself.

Meanwhile, the other apprentices also began to get busy.

Time passed second by second.

Half an hour later, on Teacher Mai Lin's side, the potion preparation was in its penultimate stage, and at this time, Li Wei had already completed the preparation of the auxiliary potion.

[Pharmacist Proficiency +30]

Li Wei quickly grabbed the auxiliary medicine and went out; he was the first to finish and the most efficient.

This drew the attention of Angus and others to Li Wei.

After waiting for a while, two more advanced pharmaceutical apprentices also completed the production of the auxiliary medicine.

Ms. Mai Lin is about to reach the crucial final step.

Logically, by this time, the four advanced pharmaceutical apprentices should have already completed the production of all the auxiliary medicines.

But Oliver hasn't come out yet!

Li Wei's expression changed slightly; it seemed something had happened to Oliver.

"Are the auxiliary medicines ready? I have ten minutes left before we can proceed with the final step of mixing the medicine."

"Witch Meryl, Oliver is not ready yet."

"A senior pharmaceutical apprentice said anxiously."

The witch Mylene looked rather grim, but she composed herself and continued concocting her potion.

We must not panic at this time, or everything will be over.

The auxiliary medicines have a limited shelf life and need to be prepared on-site, which is why Teacher Mai Lin needs a pharmaceutical apprentice to assist her.

Otherwise, she could have refined it herself and brought it over.

"Little Levi, are you confident you can go and help Oliver?"

Teacher Mai Lin looked at Li Wei.

Li Wei could see the expectation in his teacher's eyes.

He took a deep breath and smiled, "Teacher, leave it to me. You can rest assured and continue refining it."

After Li Wei finished speaking, he went to Oliver's room.

Oliver looked anxious, his face flushed, and he was covered in sweat.

He was worried that he would cause Mai Lin's certification to fail.

Then he'll be in big trouble.

Although Ms. Mai Lin is a very kind person, she shouldn't punish herself severely.

But Oliver himself would feel incredibly guilty.

"Senior Oliver, what step are you on? Let me take over."

Li Wei asked calmly.

Upon seeing Livy, Oliver felt as if he had found a lifeline.

"Junior brother, I've reached the fourth step. I'm so stupid. I had practiced it before, but I messed up at the crucial moment." Oliver complained to himself.

"Senior brother, step aside, let me try. It should be fine. There are only two steps left, and theoretically, there should be enough time."

Oliver immediately stepped aside, standing to the side, so nervous he felt like he was suffocating.

The wizard Angus looked at the composed Levi, stroking his beard with a calm expression.

"Excellent, you have the potential to become an excellent pharmacist."

"Indeed, his technique was very skillful and calm, like an alchemical creature, executing each step of the plan with precision," said another first-ring apothecary.

"It seems the lineage of apothecaries in the Gray Tower will not be broken in the future," Angus said with a smile.

On the other hand, after taking over Oliver's work, Levi immediately analyzed the current situation and then continued the refining work.

after awhile.

The refining process on the witch Mylene's side has finally reached its final stage.

"Hurry up, get the supplementary medicine."

Mai Lin urged, her emotions even fluctuating, showing how important this matter was to her.

"Alright." Li Wei didn't bother wiping the sweat from his forehead before taking two bottles of auxiliary medicine and walking out of the pharmacy.

Finally, in the last step.

Four bottles of freshly produced auxiliary potions were simultaneously poured into Mylene's crucible.

The final step of preparing the medicine was beyond Li Wei's and his team's reach.

Whether it succeeds or not depends on Teacher Mai Lin's luck.

"I have to succeed," Li Wei thought to himself.

Time passed second by second. After Teacher Mai Lin threw an eyeball of some kind of creature into the crucible, the potion boiled completely, and white mist filled the air. Li Wei noticed that countless drops of the potion began to flow into the eyeball.

Finally, at the bottom of the crucible.

A black bead lay quietly at the bottom.

The entire crucible of medicine was absorbed by this bead.

The bead emitted an eerie black light, and its surface was covered with dense blood vessels, resembling an eyeball.

This is the second-level potion, the Eye Demon's Gaze.

Although it's very strange, it was indeed successfully refined.

The sound of clapping rang out.

"Congratulations, Ms. Merlin, the Eye of the Demon has been successfully crafted. Our branch has gained another second-circle apothecary," said President Angus.

Other pharmacists also offered their congratulations.

The witch Mylene was covered in sweat and panting heavily, as if she had just been engaged in a fierce battle while concocting the potion.

She finally smiled, her wrinkled old face full of relief.

"Thank you all. The potion has been successfully made. I won't disturb you any longer. I'll take a short rest and then leave with my apprentice," said the witch Mylene.

"Okay, the certification badge will be delivered to you later," President Angus said.

The witch Mylene withdrew her bewitching gaze and, with Levi and Oliver, headed towards the port.

On the way, Li Wei also saw Gagliard, a young man dressed in a wizard's robe, who greeted Li Wei.

It seems he still remembers Li Wei.

Li Wei smiled slightly in response.

After leaving Whale Song Island, Li Wei and his companions boarded the ship for their return journey.

"Thank you so much, Little Levi. If it weren't for you, this refining process might have failed." Teacher Mai Lin's eyes were filled with sincere gratitude; this was truly important to her.

Oliver kept his head down, not daring to look at Meryl.

Mai Lin sighed, "It's alright, Oliver, don't worry too much. At least the result is good. Just be more careful in the future and learn more from Junior Brother Li Wei."

Oliver felt as if he had been granted a pardon and hid in the cabin to reflect on his actions.

The bracelet gave a notification, and Li Wei looked at it.

Points: 108

Li Wei had only 8 points remaining.

Clearly, Teacher Mai Lin just transferred a full 100 points to him!

According to the requirements of that task, Li Wei can only get 5 points a month, and even if he completes it for a year, he will only get 60 points.

Clearly, Ms. Mai Lin was very happy this time, and with a wave of her hand, she transferred 100 points.

"Teacher, this is too much..." Li Wei said, feeling rather embarrassed. He felt that he hadn't done much work, and had even taken a lot of the teacher's formulas for free over the past six months. Now, with so many points, he felt unworthy of them.

"Don't be shy, this is what you deserve. The value of a single Eye Demon's Gaze is far beyond your imagination." Teacher Mylene patted Levi on the shoulder.

"Then I'll accept it, thank you, teacher," Li Wei said.

"Alright, I'm going back to my cabin to meditate and rest for a while. You should get some rest too." Teacher Merlin was very tired. She returned to her cabin, set up a protective spell, and then began to rest.

Li Wei also returned to the cabin.

"100 points can buy a wand and exchange for two spell models. I'll go back and get started in White Sail Alley. I've been here for half a year, and I haven't even made much progress on my wizarding journey," Li Wei thought to himself.

He returned to his cabin and began practicing breathing exercises.

The next night.

The starry night was brilliant, and the sea was calm and peaceful.

The azure ship moved slowly forward, occasionally with some magical sea creatures poking their heads out of the water to breathe.

Li Wei was practicing the Red Lotus Breathing Technique in the cabin when suddenly the hairs on his arms stood on end.

Spider-Sense!

Extremely dangerous!

Li Wei hadn't sensed such danger in a long time.

The last time was when I was weak and faced the Fist of the Empire.

He prepared the materials for the hand seal, and, fully alert, looked out the window.

Sometime later, the ship sailed into a fog.

A gray fog shrouded the sea, obscuring the countless stars in the sky!

A faint green light could be seen shimmering on the distant sea.

Furthermore, some low, suppressed roars could be heard coming from within the mist.

"Little Li Wei, come out quickly! Enemy is attacking!"

The witch Mylene also sensed the approaching danger.

She was shimmering with a sea-blue light.

This is Zero Ring Magic - Wave Overlap Technique.

Layers of blue light piled up around Mai Lin like ocean waves.

Levi opened the hatch and woke Oliver, who was still sleeping.

Oliver appeared, looking completely bewildered.

"What's going on?"

"Enemy attack," Li Wei said.

Oliver immediately and instinctively cast a Wave Spell on himself with his wand.

This is the most classic defensive zero-ring trick of the Ocean School.

Low-level wizards and wizarding apprentices like to use it; basically, everyone has one.

Li Wei didn't use any magic tricks. He possessed the Frost Giant Armor and the tenth-tier Black Serpent, which, when combined, were no weaker than any such magic trick in terms of defense.

Moreover, he can use the Guardian Seal at crucial moments.

Amidst the mist, the azure ship continues its journey.

"They're from the Ship of the Dead. How did they know we were here? Was it Angus's doing?" Teacher Meryl stared at the distant green will-o'-the-wisps, her face grave.

Li Wei immediately understood.

It's likely that someone on Whale Song Island leaked Teacher Mai Lin's information.

President Angus, as well as two other first-ring pharmacists, are all possibilities.

Or one of the four advanced pharmaceutical apprentices.

It wasn't him, and it probably wasn't Oliver either. Judging from Livy's observations of Oliver these past few days, Oliver wouldn't betray the Grey Tower; mainly, he probably didn't have the guts.

In any case, someone must have tipped them off.

They leaked Ms. Merlin's whereabouts to the Ship of the Dead, a hostile force of the Gray Tower.

Otherwise, there's no such coincidence in the world!

"Damn it."

"I thought it would be safe to travel with a certified wizard, but I never expected to fall into this kind of crisis."

Li Wei gazed into the distance, his body surrounded by swirling black energy. Thick black snake energy swirled around him, constantly gathering and flowing, eventually transforming into liquid black scales.

At this moment, Li Wei resembled a black-scaled man.

Teacher Merlin was slightly taken aback: "I didn't expect you, a knight, to have reached such a level. From now on, protect yourself. Since the other side has come to surround and kill us, it means that at least two formal wizards have been dispatched. I will do my best to hold them off. Try to get close and see if you can break through their defenses. If not, then jump into the sea and run. I will help you get a chance to escape."

"Okay." Li Wei activated his Advanced Vibration Perception to its fullest extent. In this foggy environment, Advanced Vibration Perception was even more useful.

Suddenly, a whistling sound came.

A ghostly green flame swiftly ripped through the night sky, hurtling towards Li Wei and his group.

Li Wei dodged and jumped directly into the sea.

"Little Li Wei, be careful," Teacher Mai Lin reminded him.

She and Oliver drew enemy fire head-on, while Levi devised a plan to launch a surprise attack.

In the seawater, Li Wei continued to dive. With his current lung capacity and physical endurance, he could dive to a depth of hundreds of meters without using any magic.

He swam quickly forward, rising higher and higher until he saw the outline of a wooden boat on the water.

On the bow of the wooden boat, a grotesque skull with two horns was tied.

Li Wei dared not get too close, for fear of being detected by the official wizards above.

We have to wait until Teacher Merlin and the other side start their big battle so that the formal wizards won't have time to pay attention to what's happening under the sea.

Li Wei could then get close.

On the sea, the wooden boat rapidly approached the Azure Ship.

These wooden boats are not large, only about thirty meters long, and look rather simple, but there are some magical runes flashing on their surfaces.

This is the mode of transport for the ship of the dead.

The Ship of the Dead is a rather unique organization. They don't have any islands; their headquarters is a giant ship that is thousands of meters long, said to be the creation of a famous ancient black wizard.

After becoming part of the Black Wizarding Organization, the Undead Ships roamed the outer seas, hiding in dangerous waters to evade the Wizarding Inquisition's pursuit. They would occasionally send out people to plunder, robbing the people on the Azure Ships on public shipping routes.

These wooden boats were the means of transportation they developed. The magic arrays on them allowed the boats to withstand the wind and waves of the sea and ordinary sea monsters, while also enabling them to quickly roam the sea and commit crimes.

On the Azure Ship, Teacher Merlin waved her wand and finished chanting a first-circle spell: Sailfish Arrow.

This is a first-level attack spell from the Ocean School.

The azure water elemental power coalesced into a three-meter-long sailfish.

It is completely transparent, with light flowing around it.

The sailfish swished its tail, riding the waves like a missile, and swiftly attacked the people on the wooden boat.

Oliver also began to attack with his own water arrow trick.

Several wizard apprentices from other organizations were also on board this azure ship, now facing the menacing pirates.

They also launched a counterattack without hesitation.

The reputation of the Ghost Ship in this sea is not very good.

"Hehe, Miss Meryl, long time no see."

A green-robed wizard with his face painted with green skull paint cackled, holding a two-meter-long staff in his hand.

He blocked all the attacks from the flagfish arrows with his green ghost fire.

Beside him stood a young green-robed wizard, wand in hand, gazing smugly at Myrin aboard the Azure Ship.

In addition, several wizard apprentices were also eager to try their luck, looking at the people on the Azure Ship.

No one noticed that in the deep water beneath the boat, Li Wei held his breath, his cold eyes fixed on the hull.

Because water conducts signals further, Li Wei was able to sense the people on the ship even in deep water through advanced vibration perception.

He had already identified his target for the upcoming attack: the seemingly young, formally trained wizard.

"Green Ghost Carter, tsk tsk, I didn't expect you old codger to personally come out and rob people."

Ms. Mai Lin said.

"Miss Merlin, hand over the Eye of the Demon, and I will give you a quick death."

"That's what Green Ghost Carter said."

"As expected, someone leaked the information. These guys are here for the potion," Li Wei muttered to himself.

"Stop talking nonsense, old Green Ghost, let's see who's the real deal."

When enemies like the Ship of the Dead and the Tower of Grays meet, their hatred is palpable.

After Teacher Mailin finished speaking, she immediately cast another first-level spell, "Flying Fish Dance".

As a seasoned first-ring wizard, her strength is no joke.

Hundreds of flying fish, formed from the power of water elements, swarmed towards the undead ship on the wooden boat.

"A mere trick, come forth, Hell Warrior!"

Green Ghost Carter's massive staff slammed into the ground.

A pale green, diamond-shaped magic circle appeared on the deck.

Immediately afterwards, a green door, resembling a time portal, was opened.

"Isn't this the prototype spell for the Mark of Hell, summoning the undead?"

Li Wei gazed at the dark green gate on the sea, ready to make his move at any moment.

After the first-circle spell was cast, a giant green rock claw emerged from the green gate, with green flames burning on the rock.

The next moment, a towering, three-meter-tall, burly hellish rock giant appeared in front of Green Ghost Carter.

The rock giant, wreathed in green flames and with green runes flashing across its body, blocked all the attacks from the flying fish.

The other first-ring wizard used a green energy shield to block the attack.

"Go forth, Hell Warrior, begin your slaughter."

Green Ghost Carter let out a grotesque laugh, and the rock giant suddenly exerted his strength, shattering the deck with his bare feet.

Then, the seemingly clumsy rock giant leaped across a distance of tens of meters and landed on the Azure Ship.

"This monster's physical abilities are probably no weaker than those of a legendary knight."

"As expected of a veteran first-ring wizard."

Li Wei patiently waited for the right moment to strike. He only had one chance. Once a formal wizard was prepared, it would be very difficult for him to kill one.

Teacher Merlin moved swiftly, dodging the rock giant's attack.

Her expression turned solemn. She sighed, then activated a protective spell on her wand and began to chant.

Accompanied by her singing.

Whirlpools began to appear on the sea surface near the ship of the dead.

A terrifying power of water elementals is gathering in this sea area.

The next moment, the water jet shot out with a roar.

A wizard apprentice from the ship of the dead was blasted away by the water jet and smashed to pieces.

"Oh no, this crazy woman used a second-circle spell. She's going all out from the start, not playing by the rules."

Green Ghost Carter quickly made the Rock Giant jump up and attack Teacher Merlin in mid-air, but it couldn't break the protective spell for a while.

As jets of water began to appear in the vortex, several wizard apprentices were instantly reduced to dust.

Seeing this, another green-robed wizard from the ship of the dead also began to chant. At the end of his wand, a green will-o'-the-wisp with a diameter of one meter took shape, radiating terrifying power.

Mylene's spellcasting must be interrupted.

While the young wizard was chanting a powerful first-circle spell.

Li Wei quickly rose to the surface and burst out of the water with a loud bang.

He snapped his fingers, and the phantom of a frost giant appeared behind him.

In front of the frost giant phantom, there was also an Asura stand-in with three heads, six swords, and nine swords!

Li Wei held a large hammer in his hand, its golden ripples radiating power.

Its bright silver body shone brightly in the night.

The Frost Giant's Sigh freezes everything.

The blood of the crimson lotus burns, and rolling heat waves soar into the sky.

The Crimson Lotus form is superimposed with the Nine Swords form.

Add to that the power of the Golden Ripple!

All of this is applied to the legendary weapon, Lion King's Pride!

This was Li Wei's long-planned, most powerful attack!

"Die!"

The sledgehammer crashed down.

The magical green protective shield covering the young first-ring wizard's body was shattered instantly!

The next moment, the sledgehammer struck his body.

Earthy yellow runes appeared on his body, and his muscles turned into a rock-like texture.

This is his passive spell, [Rock Body], which strengthens his physical body.

He actually practiced both the Earth School and the Earth School.

However, the young wizard remained fearful.

With the blessing of the Crimson Lotus Blood, Li Wei's power has surpassed that of legendary knights of the power type, and his explosive power is unparalleled.

In addition, there is the superposition of the power of golden ripples and the nine-sword form.

This hammer blow was incredibly powerful, unstoppable and unstoppable!

The rocky body split open, and blood flowed everywhere.

This is not the end.

The evil spirit stand-in behind Li Wei has three heads, six arms, and wields nine swords!

Nine-Sword Style Secret Technique: Rampage!

The Nine Swords Asura Stand wielded nine black swords, which danced wildly.

It cut through the already cracked rock like chopping melons and vegetables.

Cut into countless pieces!

Li Wei struck successfully and, while still in good condition, quickly made his escape.

Green Goblin Carter's green flames blasted towards Levi, shattering Levi's Brilliant Silver Guard and striking him from behind.

The liquid black scales were blasted apart, and the remaining force poured onto Livi's Frost Giant Armor.

A burning, painful sensation pervaded the area.

However, given Li Wei's current extraordinary stamina and powerful physique...

These burns are not fatal.

"Damn, that old guy is dangerous, his reaction is too fast."

Li Wei plunged into the water with a crash.

Bloodwing shook the seawater, just like a swordfish, and quickly distanced itself from the undead ship.

In the distance, Ms. Mai Lin looked like a goddess descending to earth.

The second-circle spell created countless water columns, shattering the wooden boat.

Green Ghost Carter was also hit. He looked at the mangled corpse of the young wizard beside him and felt a chill run down his spine.

That person just now, although he was only a wizard apprentice.

However, his chivalry is clearly on par with that of legendary knights.

The Gray Tower has surprisingly recruited a legendary knight as a wizard apprentice.

He looks quite young.

"Damn it."

"withdraw."

"This old woman is really reckless. She hasn't even advanced to the second ring yet, and she's already forcibly casting a second-ring spell. We can't afford to mess with her."

Moreover, a legendary knight is no less threatening than a first-ring wizard.

"What bad luck! A certified wizard has died. I don't know how to explain this to the captain."

Green Goblin Carter, no longer willing to fight, used his flight magic to carry the surviving wizard apprentices and raced into the distance.

Shipwrecks drifted everywhere on the sea.

Blood stained part of the sea red.

The rock giant returned to hell at some unknown time.

After Li Wei and the others were completely safe, they groped around in the seawater for a while.

In the end, he received several small bags, which were probably storage items.

He quietly put it away and returned to the Azure Ship.

Oliver was just torn apart by the rock giant in the chaos, and his death was gruesome.

Ms. Meryl Streep was pale and coughing incessantly; she returned to the deck.

"Teacher, are you alright?" Li Wei asked.

"It's alright, I'll take you off the ship and we'll change our route back to the tower. This route is no longer safe."
