Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 153 Advancing to Legendary Status, Strength Soars! (9000 words, please subscribe!)

In front of the mirror, Li Wei opened his mouth, and then a chilling scene unfolded.

Suddenly, Li Wei's seemingly ordinary tongue began to fork and extend, stretching out a full foot into his mouth. It coiled and meandered in mid-air like a tentacle.

His tongue had turned into something resembling a snake's forked tongue.

Then, with a thought, his tongue began to shorten and retract, transforming back into something resembling a normal person's tongue, and returned to Li Wei's mouth.

That's right, this is the extraordinary organ that Li Wei developed after advancing to the legendary level.

It wasn't the black scales he expected, but a place he hadn't anticipated.

His tongue had somehow transformed into a forked structure resembling a snake's forked tongue.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Li Wei's tongue looks no different from that of an ordinary person.

Otherwise, Li Wei felt this was too strange. If some wizards from the monster school discovered him, they would definitely mistake him for a notorious lizardman and take him back for research.

Since the extraordinary organ did not appear on the proficiency panel, Li Wei did not know what to call it.

He named himself "The Letter of the Black Serpent".

After some initial research, Li Wei roughly understood some of the functions of this extraordinary organ.

That is ultra-wide range and ultra-high precision odor perception.

He is currently on the ninth floor of the Gray Tower.

You can clearly smell the stench of Leviathan's breath as he sleeps on the coast more than ten kilometers away.

He could sense the distinct aura of every apprentice in the entire Gray Tower—auras that ordinary people couldn't perceive or distinguish at all. But for Li Wei, these auras formed unique coordinates with crystal clarity.

These unique and different coordinates formed a huge circular map in Li Wei's mind, much like the "mini-map" in the upper right corner of some games.

Within the map, Li Wei can sense prey and targets through the dimension of smell.

These vital energies are stored in Livy's forked tongue, forming a vast reservoir of energy.

As long as something stored in the aura database appears within Li Wei's perception range, he can immediately sense it.

This black snake's letter, combined with the advanced vibrational perception of the human-faced spider breathing technique and the advanced auditory perception of the night owl breathing technique, all contribute to this.

This allowed Li Wei's perception to reach an extremely exaggerated level: extremely precise vibration perception, a wide range of auditory perception, and an extremely wide range of olfactory perception.

Li Wei's ability to detect information about his surroundings is probably unmatched even by a second-circle wizard.

At least as far as Li Wei knew, whether it was the reconnaissance spells in the magic tricks or the reconnaissance spells in the first and second rings, they could achieve such multi-dimensional, multi-level, and wide-range perception and reconnaissance.

not at all!

"Unexpectedly, the legendary organ that emerged after the Black Serpent Breathing Technique is actually of a more auxiliary type."

Although it wasn't the combat-type supernatural organ that Li Wei had envisioned, he wasn't disappointed at all.

After all, the rarity of breathing techniques like those of the Spider-Man and the Night Owl is a testament to this.

Perception attributes are actually the most difficult to obtain.

Moreover, after reaching the eleventh level of the Black Serpent Breathing Technique, he already possessed solidified black scales, whose defensive power was in no way inferior to a first-level defensive spell, and even stronger than the Golden Guardian.

With such a defense, Li Wei was already invincible against an ordinary first-ring wizard.

It's important to know that solid black scales have no limitations on casting speed or spell power, just like Li Wei's innate abilities.

As long as Li Wei's black energy continues, it can be generated indefinitely.

This is the power of breathing techniques.

The downside is that it's too slow to grind.

With the help of the proficiency panel and secret medicine, Li Wei has gradually reached where he is today, taking seventeen years.

It would be virtually impossible for anyone else to do that.

With a thought, black energy swirled around Li Wei, eventually condensing into solid black scales.

These black scales, layer upon layer, opened and closed continuously according to Li Wei's will, emitting a metallic clanging sound.

This is solidified black scales, and in appearance, it is no different from real snake scales.

Li Wei's body was covered in snake scales, and his forked tongue, which twitched out of his mouth, combined with his tall and burly physique, exuded an aura of savagery and untamed nature.

"I feel so safe."

Li Wei stared at this sight, his forked tongue flicking out.

Then he withdrew his forked tongue and removed the black scales.

He has now advanced to the rank of Legendary Knight, and it will take seven more days for the Mysterious Realm to open.

I need to do some preparatory work during this period.

Poisons, holy medicines, blue potions, red potions, sleeping potions, the four seals and some spellcasting materials, Lion's Pride, Frostmourne, etc.

There were many things to prepare. Because Li Wei had obtained the Wind Spirit Ring, his Gluttony Bag, which had been with him for a long time, had been left to gather dust at home. However, Li Wei still prepared a large amount of blood food for this guy.

Having used it for so long, he'd grown attached to it. Even though the version of the Bag of Gluttony was old and there was a risk of losing items, Li Wei couldn't bear to throw it away.

It has to be said that the Wind Spirit Ring is a really good thing; not to mention its large storage space.

That first-level spell not only allows for flight but also provides protection.

Li Wei conducted experiments and found that the defense was very strong, enough to withstand two Leviathan's Dragon King Breath attacks.

In terms of flight speed, it is twice as fast as its current Bloodwing Burst form.

Overall, it's still quite practical.

This should be Li Wei's best magical artifact to date.

In terms of value, even the equivalent pot can't compare to this ring. After all, Li Wei has almost plundered all the good stuff in that pot, and the old antique Tutankhamun just sleeps in it all day.

Among the first-level magical artifacts, the Wind Spirit Ring is definitely the most top-grade, and Li Wei estimates it to be worth over a thousand taels of silver.

Anyway, I'm reluctant to buy it.

Of course, with Li Wei's current mental strength as a mid-level wizard apprentice, activating the Wind Spirit's protection within the Wind Spirit Ring is still somewhat of a challenge.

Li Wei currently has 8 points of mental strength and a maximum of 80 points of magical power. This Wind Spirit Blessing will consume a full 60 points of magical power at once, which is more than twenty times the amount of water arrow spells.

If it is a magical artifact with a solidified second-circle spell, it consumes several hundred points of magical power each time, and only a formal wizard can barely activate it.

With the Wind Spirit Ring, Li Wei felt much more confident about his journey through the bizarre realm.

It's clear that the Tower Master went to great lengths to ensure that Li Wei could obtain the Heart of Stone.

Or perhaps, the tower master was fighting a desperate battle.

Therefore, he entrusted Livy with the magical artifacts of his beloved.

Li Wei naturally did not want to betray the tower master's trust.

Within his capabilities, he will do his best to help the Tower Master obtain the Heart of Stone.

The stronger the tower master, the safer Li Wei will be to hide in this gray tower.

While Li Wei was preparing to enter the strange realm.

Other wizarding organizations qualified to enter the haunted realm are also making similar preparations.

On Whale Song Island.

A black-robed wizard with a full head of white hair, his sunken, aged eyes revealing an incredibly wise gaze.

This is Morpheus, the island lord of Whale Song Island, the Whale Speaker, a third-ring wizard, and the most powerful wizard in this sea area, without exception.

As a mid-level wizard of the Ocean School, Morpheus was naturally full of confidence for this journey into the bizarre realm.

Whale Song Island is now teeming with talented individuals.

For this trip, Whale Song Island dispatched a senior first-ring wizard, the Shark Tiger Wizard Bain.

Baine was apprenticed to Morpheus and currently possesses seven first-level spells.

It's important to know that mastering five first-level spells is enough to be considered a senior first-level spell master, and Bain mastered a full seven, which speaks volumes about his strength.

The five apprentices he led this time were all the best among the wizard apprentices on Whale Song Island.

Four of them were advanced wizarding apprentices. Each of these advanced wizarding apprentices had mastered at least eight spells and was extremely powerful. The only intermediate wizarding apprentice was Gaglie, a dual-elemental genius who had joined Whale Song Island a few years ago.

Gagliard was a mid-level wizard apprentice who had mastered five tricks, but his strength was definitely inferior to that of his four senior brothers.

However, Morpheus intended to train Gagle, so he wanted Gagle to take this opportunity to learn properly. In any case, with the luxurious lineup of Whale Song Island, the probability of encountering dangers outside the controllable range during this adventure in the strange realm was not high.

"Let's set off once we're ready. Let's leave early, just in case," Morpheus said calmly.

"Yes, Lord Morpheus, we will certainly return with a full load." After saying this, Bane led the group of wizard apprentices away.

Standing next to Morpheus was a second-circle wizard, Angus, a second-circle apothecary from Whale Song Isle.

He is also the branch president of the Pharmacists Association in this sea area.

The two high-ranking officials of Whale Song Island watched the exploration team ride away on sea beasts.

"Island Master, according to the intelligence we received from Harland, Herman of the Gray Tower has greatly increased in strength. If he advances to the third ring, it will be detrimental to our future plans."

"I know, so regardless of whether we gain anything from this exploration of the Ghost Realm, we must not let the people of the Gray Tower gain anything. Moreover, Harland will also send people to infiltrate the Ghost Realm. At that time, we will join forces with the Ship of the Dead to directly eliminate the wizards and wizard apprentices who have entered the Gray Tower, and then search for the resources inside."

Morpheus said calmly.

"Aren't there law enforcers from the Tower of Stars overseeing things? Can the Ship of the Dead sneak in?" Angus asked.

"I've already taken care of everything, so there's no problem at all," Morpheus said with a confident expression.

Whale Song Island's foundation is too strong; it's something other forces can't even imagine.

If it weren't for the high cost of joining the dark wizarding organization for Morpheus at this point, he would have long ago wanted to wipe out all the other organizations and unify this sea area.

Seeing the island owner's confidence, Angus was no longer worried.

However, he felt uneasy and worried, as he had a feeling that this operation would not go so smoothly.

And on the island of Sighs.

The second-circle wizard, Sage Mason, dressed in a green robe, sighed as the sea breeze blew and the entire team for this exploration of the eerie realm was ready.

The lineup for Sighing Sea Breeze is also quite impressive.

The team was led by a first-ring senior wizard, Docte, and consisted of five wizard apprentices, four of whom were also high-level wizard apprentices.

The only one who wasn't a high-ranking wizard apprentice was that three-meter-tall giant.

It was Emperor Mu, the Fist of the Empire. Now, so many years have passed, and the Fist of the Empire has barely advanced to the level of intermediate wizard apprentice. For him, who has been practicing meditation for more than ten years, this speed can only be described as very slow, but this is the normal cultivation speed of the Son of Chaos.

Although the wizards' level was average, the Sage Mason still allowed the Imperial Fist to participate in this operation because of their powerful knightly strength.

In fact, the Imperial Fist is the true trump card hidden in Sighing Breeze's operation.

Not long after becoming a mid-level wizard apprentice, Imperial Fist successfully entered the supreme realm of legendary knight. His strength was no less than that of an ordinary first-ring wizard.

The reason why the Sighing Sea Breeze has not publicized it is so that in some important events in the future, the hidden trump card of Imperial Fist can play a surprise role.

"Docter, I owe Herman a favor. In this operation, within your capabilities, please help the people from the Gray Tower. They don't seem to have a formal wizard leading them, so it's unlikely they'll gain much in the Ghost Realm. Your primary task is to acquire more resources. You only need to intervene once when those apprentices from the Gray Tower face a life-or-death crisis."

As for Mudi, try to avoid taking action in the early stages. I'll have Dakota and his men protect you. I hope your operation will be very successful.

"That's what the wise man Mason said."

"Okay, Mr. Mason."

After saying goodbye, Doctrine, Imperial Fist, and Sage Mason also left the Island of Sighs.

In the past few days, other second-ring wizard organizations such as the Dark Caverns and the Lost Ancient City, as well as some first-ring wizard organizations, or wizards who live alone on islands with only a few wizard apprentices under their command, have all headed to the entrance of the eerie realm.

Each exploration of the eerie realm is a grand feast where various forces gather. The bizarre and fantastical realm seems to have endless allure, drawing wizards from all directions.

After making his preparations, Li Wei set off alone, riding the Dragon King Whale towards the entrance.

The Basilosaurus is much faster than the Azure Ship.

So when Li Wei arrived at the entrance sea area, he discovered that he was actually among the first to arrive.

In the center of the sea ahead, a thick, inky black mist swirled and twisted.

"Is this the point where the Black Mist Realm and the Azure Realm meet?" Li Wei stood on the back of the Basilosaurus, his expression calm.

This scene reminded Li Wei of the place where the Blue Frost Dimension and the human world intersected in the multiverse, where a strange blue light also permeated the air.

Li Wei recuperated on Leviathan, and he arrived here alone, representing the Gray Tower, which greatly surprised the other organizations.

While Li Wei was waiting, the people from Whale Song Island also arrived.

They arrived at this place riding on a blue-striped whale, a sea beast at the level of a high-ranking wizard apprentice.

But the blue whale seemed uneasy at that moment.

This is a sea beast tamed by a psychic wizard on Whale Song Island.

Bain's expression hardened. If this was the case, it meant that there was a superior superhuman creature nearby that even the Blue-striped Whale feared.

Sure enough, he soon noticed it in an inconspicuous corner.

A Basilosaurus, with its menacing back and terrifying presence, floats leisurely on the sea.

On its back was a tall, imposing gray-robed wizard carrying two swords, his robes embroidered with moon patterns.

Levi accompanied Mylene to Whale Song Island, and Bain knew Levi.

He looked around and found that apart from Li Wei, there were no other wizard apprentices from the Gray Tower.

"What's going on? Has the Gray Tower given up on this exploration? Are they just going to throw caution to the wind?" Bain asked, puzzled.

He didn't understand why only one person came to the Gray Tower.

Although this Levi is a legendary knight according to intelligence, it is too naive for a knight to think he can contend with a formal wizard and five wizard apprentices from other organizations!

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

Therefore, Bain was extremely cautious: "After we go in, let's find a place to deal with the legendary knight of the Gray Tower."

He spoke to the five wizard apprentices.

This Levi is no ordinary man; he can tame a Basilosaurus, so he's quite capable. Therefore, Bane will not underestimate Levi and must go all out.

Upon hearing the telepathic message, the other four advanced wizard apprentices all nodded slightly.

Gagliard hesitated, but ultimately said nothing.

As an apprentice on Whale Song Island, he was powerless to make any changes and could only unconditionally obey the organization's orders.

Basilosaurus.

Li Wei's expression remained unchanged, but inwardly he was sneering.

"Luckily, I have a spider's sense. Sure enough, those guys from Whale Song Island actually tried to harm me!"

"Looking back now, the news that Teacher Mylin successfully concocted the second-circle potion, Eye Demon's Gaze, was definitely leaked by Whale Song Island. Their purpose was to use someone else to do their dirty work! It's just that the killing intent of those people wasn't so obvious last time, so I didn't sense it."

"Very well, since you want to harm me, I can't just sit here and wait to die. I'll just settle things with you here in this strange place. My Sacred Armor Scorpion hasn't eaten a human in a long time and is extremely hungry."

Li Wei's heart was filled with murderous intent.

He was already plotting how to deal with these people in the bizarre environment.

Of the six people on Whale Song Island, only Gagret was basically not hostile towards him.

However, since the two sides are on different sides, Li Wei will not be merciful.

A day later, the person who sighed about the sea breeze also arrived.

The three-meter-tall Imperial Fist stood out among these people, and Li Wei noticed it at a glance.

The Fist of the Empire also spotted Livi on the whale's back immediately.

As a legendary knight, he naturally knew that Li Wei was the legendary knight who had recently become somewhat famous in the Gray Tower.

Now that they meet again, it is indeed true that this aura belongs to a legendary knight.

His fighting spirit surged, and he longed to have a real, hand-to-hand fight with Li Wei. Li Wei was the only legendary knight he had ever met. Although Emperor Mu and Li Wei had no interaction, there was a sense of mutual respect between them.

In this world where wizards are revered, legendary knights are extremely rare, and it's truly not easy to encounter someone like them.

"I am the wizard Docte, the Sighing Sea Breeze. If you encounter any danger inside, Lord Levi, you can come to me. I will do my best to help you resolve it," Docte transmitted to Levi.

Li Wei looked at Daucute, smiled slightly, and expressed his gratitude.

Soon, the final step of the convergence between the Black Mist Realm and the Azure Realm was completed.

An entrance emitting an eerie red light slowly formed within the black mist; nothing could be seen inside.

Just then, a second-circle wizard dressed in a robe of stars suddenly appeared above everyone. Beneath him, endless ocean currents converged into a waterspout, lifting him into the air. He was like a sea god descending to earth, looking down at the exploration team below.

"According to calculations, this convergence of the Black Mist Realm and the Azure Realm will last for seven days. This means you only have seven days to explore the Black Mist Realm. On the seventh day, everyone must gather at the entrance coordinates to the Black Mist Realm and then leave. Otherwise, you will be permanently trapped there until the next convergence of the Black Mist Realm and the Azure Realm. I think most of you won't live to see that day."

According to the "Haunted Realms Act," only members of the Pan-Dimensional Wizarding Council and legitimate organizations are qualified to explore haunted realms. If any dark wizards or dark wizarding organizations attempt to sneak in, I advise you to give up. Once I discover you, I will kill you without hesitation.

Finally, in this strange realm, we hope everyone can join hands and cooperate to achieve a win-win situation. The Pan-Dimensional Wizarding Council does not encourage malicious killing and competition among wizards.

However, if your life is lost forever in the Ghost Realm for any reason, the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council will not take any responsibility for it, nor will it initiate any investigation or accountability procedures.

All responsibility and consequences shall be borne by the explorer. Please think carefully before you enter.

Next, I will announce the list of organizations or wizards qualified to join. Those not on the list, please leave on your own.

The law enforcement officer had a dignified voice and a powerful presence.

He began calling out the list of those who were eligible to enter.

The summoned wizarding organizations, led by their respective wizards, entered the black hole emitting a red glow.

Li Wei looked at the people entering; the words of the law enforcer were quite clear.

Enter the eerie realm, and life or death is no longer at stake!

Even if someone dies, the Pan-Dimensional Wizarding Council won't investigate the cause of death.

Therefore, the greatest danger in this exploration of the eerie realm may not be the realm itself, but the competing explorers present!

For Li Wei, the main danger was the group on Whale Song Island.

If given the chance, he must strike first.

His Black Serpent Letter had already collected the aura factors of everyone present.

Li Wei has stored the auras of all these people in his aura database. As long as they enter his perception range, Li Wei will immediately detect them.

When the time comes, if the people of Whale Song Island are scattered or encounter some crisis, Li Wei will not hesitate to kick them while they're down.

"The Gray Tower, Li Wei." The enforcer frowned slightly, calling out to Li Wei, then asked, "So, you're the only one from the Gray Tower who came?"

"Yes, Wizard." Li Wei smiled politely.

"Go in." The law enforcement officer said nothing and let Li Wei in.

Li Wei smiled as he faced the entrance to the black hole.

Beneath his robes, solidified black scales had spread all over his body.

He had prepared a golden shield in his hands.

If someone attacks him once he enters, he will activate the hand seal.

Taking a deep breath, Li Wei stepped inside and disappeared.

He felt a sudden dizziness.

When he reappeared, he was already enveloped in a hazy, gray mist.

This is why this eerie realm is called the Realm of Black Mist.

This eerie place is shrouded in mist.

The edge areas are shrouded in gray fog. As you go further in, the fog becomes darker and darker, making it impossible to see your hand in front of your face.

Li Wei's advanced vibrational perception is fully activated, as is his advanced hearing.

Everything around him was within his perception.

Within his perception range, those who had just entered the Black Mist Realm were rapidly scattering in all directions, searching for their own targets.

Li Wei looked at the cave entrance behind him, marked its coordinates, and then quickly left.

This is clearly not a safe place. Once the group from Whale Song Island comes in, they might immediately join forces to kill me.

The wizard leading the group on Whale Song Island was clearly a seasoned first-ring wizard, and confronting him head-on would be a very unwise choice.

Within this realm of black mist, everything is shrouded in darkness, severely limiting the visual perception of most ordinary wizards. Li Wei, however, thrives thanks to his various sensory abilities. Therefore, he intends to exploit this advantage to launch a surprise attack.

Not long after Li Wei left, the man sighing at the sea breeze also entered.

With a solemn expression, the Fist of the Empire left the place under the leadership of Doctor.

More and more people entered the eerie realm, and in the end, the people from Whale Song Island were the last to enter.

Bain remained calm, then suddenly emitted a sound wave like a whale's song, which traveled through the mist, spreading out in concentric ripples.

"Damn it, that Li Wei is fast. He's already out of the range of my Whale Song Technique's perception." Bain's expression changed, and he couldn't help but curse.

"Teacher, why don't we explore inside first? This strange realm isn't that big anyway, and the real treasures are all in the inner area. We're sure we'll run into that kid again then," said a senior wizard apprentice.

His name is Deli, and he has mastered eight magic tricks, making him incredibly powerful.

“You’re right. Then you can lie in ambush here. I’ll give you a teleportation scroll, a precious second-level item bestowed upon me by Lord Morpheus. Once Levi returns to this side of the exit, use this scroll to switch places with me, and I will kill Levi with lightning speed,” Bane said.

"Ah... Am I supposed to stay here?" Deli clearly hadn't expected this.

“That’s right, the border area is safe, you don’t need to worry too much. And you don’t need to fight that Levi. After all, he’s a legendary knight, you’re probably no match for him. You just need to tear open this scroll when you see Levi. I’ll make my move then. With your strength, you should be able to hold out against the legendary knight for a while,” Bane said.

"Okay." Deli didn't want to stay here.

However, he dared not refuse the request of a formal wizard.

Finally, Bane, along with his four other apprentices, left the area and headed straight for the inner region.

There's basically nothing good in the outskirts; anything that was there had already been taken by previous explorers, so he wasn't going to waste his time there.

Moreover, the people from the Ship of the Dead have also infiltrated this place, and he needs to reunite with them. This time, the goal is not only to weaken the strength of the Gray Tower.

If possible, forces that could negatively impact the Whale Song Island plan, such as the Sighing Sea Breeze, should be weakened as much as possible within the Deceptive Realm.

After all, here, even if someone kills another person, the Pan-Dimensional Wizard won't hold them accountable.

In order to acquire more resources, all the major wizarding organizations send their most elite first-ring wizards and wizarding apprentices.

If we leave all these people in this eerie place...

That was undoubtedly a heavy blow to these wizarding organizations.

Shortly after Bain left.

It is located about ten kilometers from the entrance.

Li Wei's figure was hidden inside a hollow of a large tree in the gray mist.

Naba's first-circle scouting spell, Whale Song, clearly has a much smaller scouting range than Levi's Black Serpent's Letter.

He didn't sense at all that Li Wei was actually still near the entrance.

Li Wei emerged from the tree hollow, unleashing a chilling black serpent's tongue, and waited patiently until Bane and the others had completely moved out of his perception range.

However, one high-ranking wizard apprentice remained at the entrance of Whale Song Island.

Li Wei knew with his toes that this was definitely Whale Song Island's people lying in ambush on him, but he didn't know what kind of trump cards they had up their sleeves.

Li Wei waited for some more time.

The high-ranking wizard apprentice was still at the entrance, showing no sign of leaving.

"Heh, interesting. Was I the one lying in wait?" Li Wei thought to himself.

"Unfortunately, you have nowhere to hide before my Black Serpent's Letter. It's time for the roles of hunter and prey to be reversed."

Li Wei moved swiftly and disappeared from the scene.

He didn't rush to the inner area. Without resolving the hidden danger of Whale Song Island, he didn't dare to go inside to search for the Heart of Stone.

So, for the next few days, he was going to play a cat-and-mouse game with the other party.

There are hardly any people at the entrance now.

Most people have already gone to the inner area.

Only a few weak, timid, or opportunistic individuals linger and search at the edge of this entrance.

With the Black Serpent's Faith and extraordinary perception, Li Wei avoided these people, keeping his sights firmly on one target.

That was the wizard apprentice from Whale Song Island.

With his current strength, if he went all out, he could easily kill a high-level wizard apprentice.

Soon, Li Wei returned to the area.

He looked up at the foggy sky. The sun was shining brightly, but because of the gray fog, there was no warmth.

"The Night's Chosen is only effective at night, but killing a wizard apprentice does not require the use of the Night's Chosen."

Li Wei moved stealthily, possessing a small map in his mind.

The high-ranking wizard apprentice was standing motionless in one spot.

Li Wei sneered as he drew closer to the other person.

Until this high-ranking wizard apprentice was about half a mile away from Livy.

Li Wei stopped in his tracks, black energy condensing into a black blade in his hand. Although the gray mist prevented him from seeing the high-ranking wizard apprentice, with the Black Serpent's Letter and his advanced hearing, Li Wei had already pinpointed the opponent's location.

There are no obstacles between him and the other person now, and the other person cannot see him.

Deli hid in a thicket of bushes not far from the entrance; he was alone there and a little scared.

Therefore, he remained fully alert, clutching the spellcasting materials and wand for protective spells, ready to cast spells at any moment.

Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from the air.

In the blink of an eye, the black blade struck.

With Li Wei's current Black Demon Blade, the black energy can travel more than two hundred meters away from his body.

At the same time, Li Wei's Blood Beast Seed erupted, its blood wings carrying crimson energy, following closely behind the black blade.

Deli immediately waved his wand and cast a protective spell, enveloping Deli in water and protecting him.

puff.

The black energy plunged into the water, where its power was neutralized.

Without hesitation, Deli was about to use the teleportation scroll.

Although he hadn't seen the enemy yet, there was no doubt that the one who had ambushed him was the legendary knight of the Gray Tower.

Unfortunately, it was too late; he had underestimated Levi's speed!

After Li Wei's Blood Beast unleashed its power, his speed was not much slower than that of the Black Qi Condensed Blade. He appeared directly a dozen meters in front of Deli, and the black qi formed a long whip in Li Wei's hand, which he then lashed out through the air.

He knocked the scroll out of Deli's hand.

Then the whip curled back and wrapped around Deli.

He was brought before Li Wei, whose entire body, including his face, was covered in black scales, and whose mouth was constantly spitting out a ferocious and eerie snake tongue.

"Lizard man...a monster? You're a monster!"

This isn't a knight; this is clearly a monster.

Derek, who didn't know much about the Knights, was terrified.

If it weren't for the moon-patterned gray robe covering Li Wei's body, he would have thought it was a monster from the strange realm, not Li Wei.

Click, click.

Li Wei broke off Deli's hands, which were trying to cast a spell.

Click, click.

He then broke Deli's legs.

Then Li Wei grabbed Deli by the neck.

Lift him high in the air.

Li Wei held the teleportation scroll in his hand.

He spoke coldly, his voice chilling, "If you want to live, you'll answer whatever I ask next."

Deli was held firmly by Li Wei, and his will to survive made him nod in agreement without thinking.

"Why does Whale Song Island want to harm me?" Li Wei asked.

Deli was shocked. Apart from the higher-ups, only a few people on Whale Song Island knew about this. Why would Li Wei know?

Could there be a mole within the organization?

It seems the truth has been revealed.

Perhaps Li Wei and the Gray Tower were already prepared.

No wonder the Tower of Grey only sent Li Wei.

"Because this is Lord Morpheus's order, and I don't know why Lord Morpheus would do this," Deli said.

"Alright, let me ask you again: including yourself, what is the strength of everyone on Whale Song Island who entered the strange realm this time, and what spells do they possess?"

Levi continued to ask questions. Deli's life was now in Levi's hands, and for that slim chance of survival, he was utterly forthcoming with everything he knew. He completely lacked the backbone of the great knights Levi had encountered in the mortal realm.

In the end, after asking all the questions he wanted to know, Li Wei did not kill Deli, but kept his promise and let Deli live.

He merely severed Deli's limbs, leaving only his torso, and then bandaged his wounds. He then used the Dragon's Might Seal to destroy Deli's mind and spirit, crippling his spellcasting abilities, and finally administered a slow-acting poison, which would allow Deli to die slowly over the next few days.

Levi did this primarily because he knew that the official wizard possessed an artifact capable of sensing the life and death of apprentices. If he learned of Deli's death, he might become alert, which would be detrimental to his actions.

After doing all this, Levi picked up Derek's storage items and wand, as well as the Apparition scroll that looked very precious, and left.

Today's update is 9000 words, plus an extra 3000 words. There are still 7000 words to go. Since I only checked the manuscript once, please point out any typos or errors in the comments section, and I will correct them later.
