Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 202 Advancing to the Second Ring! (Long chapter, please vote and subscribe!)

On the magic airship.

Li Wei leaned against the porthole, watching the blue sky and white clouds rush by outside.

He rubbed his arm, the fine hairs on his skin standing on end.

"This inexplicable sense of danger... Is it because my hunting of the Eye Demon is inherently dangerous? Or is someone trying to harm me?"

Li Wei carefully recalled his year in Stromgarde.

He stayed at home all day, and the only people he knew were Huffman, Green, and Toman.

If these people were hostile to Li Wei, his spider-sense should have detected them after such a long period of contact.

Besides, Li Wei had no dealings with anyone else, and it was even less likely that he would offend anyone else.

He has always been low-key, kind to others, and never actively seeks trouble.

"It must be because of my hunting of the Eye Demon. After all, in the current Sixth War Zone, monsters are rampaging, so there is definitely danger. This is within my expectations."

But Li Wei couldn't wait any longer; if he missed this opportunity, he would never have another chance.

He's not getting any younger, it's time for him to move to the Second Ring Road.

Inside the cabin, the combat wizards, all dressed in uniform legion robes, looked tense as a second-circle wizard gave them some instructions.

Unlike them, Li Wei chose a solo demon-hunting mission this time, rather than a group demon-hunting mission.

Unless you are very confident in yourself, you will not choose to go on a solo monster hunting mission, because it is easy to be overwhelmed by dangers and monsters lurking in the sea alone.

In particular, since low-level wizards have a slow spellcasting pace, it is not uncommon for second-circle wizards to be surrounded and killed by a group of level-one monsters.

Therefore, lower-level wizards are better suited to group combat, as they can coordinate the rhythm of spell usage, cooperate with each other, and achieve seamless spell attacks by controlling, defending, and attacking in all aspects.

However, it's inconvenient for Li Wei to team up with others to hunt the Eye Demon. Everyone knows that the Eye Demon's eyeballs are valuable, and disputes over the distribution of the spoils are inevitable. Under the influence of interests, it's not impossible for him to be betrayed by his teammates.

Since his first team effort to hunt the Earth Dragon Beast ended in tragedy, Li Wei has become more accustomed to acting alone.

If he can't beat someone on his own, he'd rather wait until he's stronger before going, than team up with someone else.

This team of witch hunters consists of two second-ring wizards and twenty first-ring wizards.

As far as Li Wei knew, in the military camps, the basic configuration was ten men to a small squad, a hundred men to a large battalion, and a thousand men to a legion.

The leadership team consists of second-ring wizards, while the main force consists of third-ring wizards.

Legion commanders, like Guldor, are fourth-circle wizards.

As for the Fifth Ring Road, it's basically at the level of the chief commander.

Such figures are rare in Stromgarde City; they are second only to the city lord in importance.

"You're not a battle wizard, are you?" a second-ring wizard asked, noticing Levi sitting alone to one side.

"Yes, I'm from the Alchemist's Tower. I took on a demon-hunting quest myself," Li Wei said.

Upon hearing Li Wei say that he was from the Tower of Apothecaries, the second-circle wizard was slightly taken aback.

"Is the Pharmacist's Tower now starving? Do you guys have to find work yourselves?"

"Apothecaries dare to take on demon-hunting missions? Apothecaries are that fierce these days."

The wizards nearby laughed as they spoke.

Li Wei smiled slightly and remained silent.

"My name is Sherman, and I'm the captain of this demon-hunting squad. You can join our team later, and we can look after you. Apothecaries are the darlings of Stromgarde; they can't die out there," said the second-ring wizard named Sherman.

Li Wei quickly thanked him, saying, "Thank you so much, Lord Sherman. But I won't trouble you any further. I'm just looking for some monsters on the battlefield to test my spells; I won't go into any deeper."

Upon hearing this, Wizard Sherman nodded: "Then do as you please."

He meant well, but since Li Wei insisted on doing so, it meant that the other party was either a hothead or had absolute confidence in his own strength.

Sherman observed Levi and concluded that Levi was likely the latter.

He was also extending a gesture of goodwill, hoping to make the acquaintance of a pharmacist, which would also benefit him.

The effect was indeed quite good. At least now, Levi had developed some goodwill towards this wizard Sherman, whom he had never met before.

Whether the other person intends it or not, such a gesture can always increase goodwill.

Not long after Li Wei's magic airship departed.

Another small magic airship flew in the same direction.

On this magical airship, a wizard dressed in a gray robe, with an unremarkable appearance and a serious demeanor, sat in a corner.

He is the wizard Murdoch.

However, those who know him well, and his master, all like to call him: Old Mo.

Old Mo is no ordinary person.

He wasn't a native of the wizarding world; he came from the human realm.

More than a hundred years ago, he was the son of a fallen noble family. Relying on his ancestral breathing technique, he gradually became a great knight and later joined the Voice of the Deathbird.

He became one of the Five Shadows of Death at that time.

Later, after an assassination mission, Old Mo accidentally came into contact with the wizarding tradition. Like Levi, he spent several years in the human world before discovering his dual-elemental affinity and eventually entered the wizarding world.

Now, a hundred years later, Old Mo is a second-circle wizard, but he still can't shake the habits he developed from being an assassin on Earth.

Ultimately, in this city of Streams, Old Mo became an assassin for a powerful figure, specializing in secretly dealing with obstacles for that figure.

Old Mo does this job not for the money, but purely out of passion.

He enjoyed the desperate look in the enemy's eyes and the terrifying howl before killing them; it gave him a strange sense of pleasure.

"Killing a first-ring wizard brings no sense of accomplishment whatsoever," Old Mo thought helplessly.

In order to be a better assassin, Old Mo practiced the magic of the Shadow School. He was skilled in stealth, tracking, and assassination, and many second-circle wizards had died at his hands.

On one occasion, Old Mo even managed to defeat a powerful second-ring wizard by defeating a much stronger one.

Therefore, if the enemy treats Old Mor as an ordinary second-circle wizard, he will die without a burial place.

"Wizards focus more on research. Under the protection of the laws of the Pan-Dimensional Wizarding Council, some wizards have never used spells in actual combat for many years or even their entire lives. Their combat ability is too weak, and their awareness is also lacking."

This is Old Murr's assessment of the wizards he killed.

He's different; he's come from humble beginnings, from countless assassinations.

Knights have limited skills, so everything they train in is for the purpose of fighting and killing. Every great knight who has survived the test of time is extraordinary.

Unfortunately, the line between knight and legendary knight ends there.

Even after mastering his ancestral breathing technique to its limit, Old Mo still couldn't reach the threshold of becoming a legendary knight.

"This world is only now starting to get interesting."

Old Mo looked out the window and seemed to see the flames of war spreading across the endless sea, and the faintly visible flowers of death blooming.

This is the worst of times for everyone else, and the best of times for Morneau.

……

A wizard's tower, hundreds of feet high, stands on a deserted island in the sea.

This is one of the frontline strongholds. The wizard tower itself is equipped with a powerful four-ring magic array, which is enough to withstand the attack of a level four monster.

The magic airship slowly landed next to the wizard tower.

Li Wei followed the others off the airship.

"The Eye Demon appears about 400 miles east of this stronghold. I hope I can find something there."

Generally speaking, demons also have some sense of territory, and a level two demon is considered an elite among the demon army.

In fact, Li Wei only needs the eyes of a level one Eye Demon to refine the Eye Demon's Gaze, but the effect of a level two Eye Demon is obviously better, and the success rate of the resulting potion is also higher.

Inside the Wizard Tower, everyone was busy preparing to clear out the monsters, while Levi was already heading towards the location where the Eye Demon had appeared.

The area where this stronghold is located is in the outer region of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm, which is very far from the core area.

Upon entering this area, Li Wei could sense that in addition to the power of the etheric element, there was another strange energy in the world.

"Demonic energy."

Li Wei murmured to himself.

Although it was very thin, it was indeed demonic energy.

Those demon lords were all large sources of radiation, and their demonic energy could continuously spread in all directions.

Even if the opponent is killed, the demon lord's demonic energy can still turn the surrounding area into a demonic land for a long time, turning any creature that accidentally enters into a demon.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Abyss Civilization.

According to Huffman, demonic energy can affect a wizard's spellcasting, and even corrupt the wizard into a demon.

This suddenly reminded Li Wei of the black mist he had encountered in the core area of ​​that strange realm.

That thing is similar to demonic energy, and it can also affect a wizard's spellcasting.

Perhaps, in the core area of ​​that eerie realm, a demon is sealed away, but that demon is not of a high level, so its demonic energy is not very polluting.

The demonic energy of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord is extremely terrifying. If those with low cultivation levels were to be exposed to too much of it, they would be instantly corrupted and turned into demons.

However, this is a remote area with thin demonic energy, and Li Wei also has the Ice Heart Potion.

These demonic energies had no effect on him.

Here, Li Wei also fully activated his synesthetic state.

In a state of synesthesia, Li Wei can explore everything within a radius of tens of miles using all five senses.

The precision and accuracy of the exploration far exceed those of before!

With the addition of the Black Serpent's Letter, his perception can only be described as divine!

The spider senses are still reacting, indicating that this place is likely risky.

Suddenly, a dark shadow descended from the sky onto the sea.

Li Wei's expression remained unchanged. It was a black seabird with eerie red eyes and terrifying demonic energy swirling around it.

Like a small glider, its sharp claws hurtled towards Li Wei.

"Black-headed sea eagle, a first-ringed eagle-like extraordinary creature. It's a pity it has been infected by demonic energy, otherwise its blood would be perfect for practicing the Maiah Breathing Technique."

Li Wei had anticipated the black-headed eagle's attack and threw out a large fireball spell that he had prepared beforehand.

boom!

Flames tore through the sea.

The black-headed eagle plunged headfirst into the fireball.

Burned by terrifying flames, screaming in agony, another large fireball came hurtling towards them.

The black-headed eagle was completely burned away.

"For these extraordinary creatures below the second ring, there is nothing that a single fireball spell cannot solve. If there is, then just use another one."

Li Wei watched as the ashes of the eagle's carcass scattered, and continued on his way.

He felt the increasingly intense spider-like sensation on his arm, but his expression didn't seem to change.

Before long, Li Wei found the level two Eye Demon. Through synesthesia, this monster hidden deep in the sea had nowhere to hide.

On a dark seabed, a huge fleshy ball about five meters in diameter floats there, surrounded by tentacles that drift aimlessly.

Above those tentacles were mutilated corpses, and the eye demon seemed to be absorbing nourishment from these corpses through its tentacles.

Li Wei noticed that there were five eyeballs on the fleshy ball, and these eyeballs were rolling around. Clearly, this eye demon was also on guard.

"Five eyeballs, enough for five refining processes, how wonderful!"

However, the strength of a level two Beholder is close to that of a senior second-ring wizard, so even Li Wei must go all out.

The spider-sense made him uneasy. He felt that the danger he felt came not from the Eye Demon, but from someone else.

Li Wei closed his eyes, and in a state of synesthesia, he carefully observed every clue in this sea area.

However, nothing was found.

"Perhaps I'm overthinking it."

Li Wei was no longer wasting time.

He directly loaded the Tai Stone and sent the Corpse Digger into the fray to test the Eye Demon's true strength.

This was also the first time Li Wei had dealt with a demon, especially a level two demon.

Demons are different from ordinary monsters. Monsters generally refer to creatures from other dimensions that have been corrupted by demonic energy, similar to secondary vampires.

Demons, on the other hand, are native beings born from the abyss.

It is said that all demons, whether they are high and mighty abyss lords or lowly cannon fodder demons, are demons.

They all evolved from an inconspicuous "abyssal worm" on the abyssal land.

In theory, every demon, if it continues to kill indefinitely—killing other creatures and its own kind—has the potential to evolve to a higher level.

This bewitching demon is a true demon, and even if it's only at level two, Li Wei must treat it with caution.

Before long, the corpse digger successfully attracted the attention of the Eye Demon.

The Eye Demon's senses were exceptionally sharp; it sensed the Corpse Digger even when he was still quite far away.

It waved its whiskers and swiftly approached the sea.

Red light flickered within the eerie, vertical eyes.

An invisible mental attack suddenly materialized and hurtled towards the corpse digger.

Unfortunately, the corpse diggers are alchemical creatures and do not possess any kind of spirit, so this attack is ineffective against them.

The axe that the corpse digger threw struck the eye demon's body directly, embedding itself deep within.

The enraged demon's eyes blazed with red light, and beams of red rays shot out from them.

These red lights tore through the deep sea, piercing several large holes in the body of the corpse digger, causing engine oil to leak out.

"My goodness, that's incredibly powerful." Li Wei quickly told the Corpse Digger to run back. This Eye Demon was even more powerful than he had imagined, and it pierced through the Corpse Digger's defenses in an instant.

Even with his own golden snake scales, it would be difficult to completely defend against them.

However, he can now barely use the second-circle spell Diamond Body, and with these two stacked, it should be fine.

The Eye Demon's powerful senses quickly detected Li Wei, and it rushed towards him, its tentacles growing longer and waving wildly. In its eyes, eerie rays began to gather power once more.

Li Wei's golden serpent scales spread out one by one, his blood wings swirling and transforming into propulsion, propelling him swiftly across the sea.

Blood-Forbidden Cones appeared in Li Wei's hand, and one by one, they hit their mark, all piercing the Eye Demon's body.

The eerie red light that had just appeared on the Eye Demon instantly dimmed.

"It actually works!"

This Blood Forbidden Cone is actually quite useful.

The Eye Demon was enraged; its eyes were its most powerful attack.

At this moment, after those strange blood spikes pierced its body, all five of its eyes became unusable.

This eliminated the ray attack that Li Wei feared most.

He quickly closed the distance between himself and the Eye Demon.

Golden Cross Slash!

A golden sword light slashed at the Eye Demon!

The Eye Demon was in pain as the golden swirling power was tearing its flesh apart.

boom!

A terrifying mental shock struck again.

Li Wei was momentarily dazed when the Eye Demon's tentacles bound him up.

In an instant, countless tentacles wrapped Li Wei up like a giant rice dumpling.

The demon's spiritual power was far greater than Li Wei's, and Li Wei was caught off guard and fell victim to it.

The eye demon succeeded, and its tentacles began to try to pierce Livy's scales.

But they found that the scales were like diamonds, and after trying for a long time, they couldn't bring themselves to eat them.

Meanwhile, over there, Skine's Moonlight Greatsword gleamed with a blood-red light in the deep sea!

Crimson sword energy tore through the deep sea and swept in.

A terrifying sword aura.

He directly severed half of the Eye Demon's body. In pain, the demon released Li Wei, and surging demonic energy poured out from both halves of its body.

Ash Cross Slash!

The all-consuming sword light annihilated half of the Eye Demon's body, turning it into ashes.

With no eyeballs on this half of the body, Li Wei confidently used the Gray Flame Cross Slash.

If he weren't afraid of knocking out his eyeballs, Li Wei wouldn't be so hesitant.

Simply lure the Eye Demon to the surface of the sea, then use Fireball and Crimson Flame to cleanse the area.

It's important to know that karmic fire deals bonus damage to abyssal demons.

In the end, the Eye Demon died unwillingly under the combined attack of the Corpse Digger, Skein, and Levi.

Li Wei's heart stirred slightly. Just as he was about to take the eyeball, the spider sensed that chilling sense of danger again.

Click.

Li Wei's golden serpent scales were pierced.

Golden runes shimmered on Li Wei's chest.

Then, a black blade pierced into Li Wei's adamantine body, its tip already embedded in his lava heart.

A sharp pain shot through my chest.

His strong physique allowed the heart wound to heal quickly.

Li Wei's face was cold as he stared at the sword blade in his chest.

This is a void blade formed from black shadows, without any physical form, and it is integrated with the dark, sunless deep sea.

"How is that possible?"

In the deep sea, a black shadowy figure's face twisted in shock.

This shadow, like the black blade, blended into the deep sea and had no physical form.

It was Old Mo.

He had been stealthily following Li Wei all the way here, and seeing that Li Wei had some strength, he didn't rush to make a move.

The stronger Li Wei became, the more excited Lao Mo became. He discovered that this kid had actually been hiding his strength.

Of course, Old Mo wasn't stupid. He was an assassin and not good at direct combat, so he watched Li Wei and the Eye Demon fight, preparing to benefit from their conflict.

Then, while Li Wei was distracted by killing the Eye Demon and preparing to take the spoils, he immediately activated his second-circle spell, Shadowblade!

This is a second-circle spell with an attack power of A-level, enough to penetrate the defenses of most second-circle wizards.

Old Mo, who was once a Grand Knight, knew that this apothecary named Li Wei was no ordinary first-ring wizard. He might even be a legendary knight, with a physique that was definitely stronger than that of ordinary people.

So he immediately unleashed his ultimate move!

But Old Mo never expected that his ultimate move would fail to break through Li Wei's defense.

As a seasoned assassin, Old Mo had long since developed the habit of fleeing a thousand miles away if his attack failed.

He didn't want to linger in the fight; instead, he planned to leave first and then make further plans.

He is currently using the second-circle spell, Shadowform.

He can transform himself into a shadow, and in such a dark environment, a second-circle wizard's senses will not be able to detect him at all.

Li Wei crushed the Shadow Blade embedded in his chest with his large hand; the fragments turned into shadows and vanished without a trace.

Upon seeing Levi's bloodshot body and murderous eyes, Skearin wisely took the Eye Demon's corpse and quickly left.

He knew that Li Wei was angry.

The last time Levi angered was by that pitiful Yax.

This enemy lurking in the shadows is in big trouble.

The lava heart pounded, and scorching blood surged. Li Wei's entire body was red and transparent, as if he had transformed into a lava man burning with crimson flames.

He transformed into a small sun, with crimson flames burning around him, spreading outwards in concentric circles.

"Dragon body!"

boom!

Like a volcanic eruption, more and more waves surged from Li Wei's body!

The sea around Li Wei suddenly heated up and boiled!

The flames surrounding Li Wei continued to expand, spreading in all directions!

The Crimson Lotus Seed is operating at full power, bursting forth with explosive potential!

Li Wei held a large fireball in his palm, which exploded in the void in front of him under the blessing of karmic fire.

The firelight illuminated the deep sea, making it as bright as day.

Li Wei's pale golden eyes looked ahead, his synesthesia fully activated. He saw a black shadow flash by in the dim light several hundred meters ahead, quickly fleeing!

Li Wei sneered, gripping the Bloodfeather Bow!

The Blood-Forbidden Cone rests on the bowstring!

The bow is drawn as full as a full moon, and the arrow is shot like a shooting star!

Whoosh!

For an instant.

The Blood-Forbidden Cone pierced through the black shadow.

A painful groan came from the shadows.

Old Mo's Shadow Form can conceal his figure to the greatest extent.

However, there is no way to avoid damage; if attacked, the target will be forced to reveal their true form.

A staggering figure suddenly appeared on the sea ahead. Without turning his head, Lao Mo immediately used his escape technique to try to flee.

"You think you can just run away after offending your master?" Skine remained calm and composed.

This assassin is in for a lot of trouble!

boom!

Another arrow!

Piercing Old Mo's chest.

With the Blood Forbidden Cone and Blood Feather Bow combined, no one can defend against it below the third ring.

Not to mention, Old Mo wasn't good at defense; he was only good at stealth and assassination.

Seeing that the situation was about right, Li Wei did not kill him.

He quickly closed in, and the Vampire Touch shot out, binding Old Mo's legs, before pulling him towards Li Wei.

The heavily injured Old Mo weakly struck Li Wei's chest with his magic attack.

Without saying a word, Li Wei grabbed Lao Mo by the neck and led him to the surface of the sea.

Li Wei randomly found a deserted island and threw Lao Mo on the ground.

"You think you can assassinate me with this little strength? Tell me, who sent you?" Li Wei asked expressionlessly as he returned to human form.

At this moment, Li Wei's spider sense finally gave no warning.

It turns out that what truly made Li Wei feel threatened was not the Eye Demon, but this wizard.

Old Mo's hands had been broken by Li Wei, and he was bleeding profusely, suffering unbearable pain. Li Wei had also driven all the Blood Forbidden Cones into Old Mo's body.

He looked at Li Wei without saying a word.

"Kill me, and I won't tell," Old Mo laughed.

"So tough, huh?" Li Wei broke Lao Mo's legs again.

Old Mo's screams echoed across the island.

Old Mo remained silent.

After a long period of torment.

Seeing that this guy seemed truly unyielding, Li Wei simply sliced ​​off his head with a single sword stroke.

"Fine, don't tell me then."

After killing Lao Mo, Li Wei began searching Lao Mo's body and eventually found a storage bag.

He opened the storage bag and was astonished to find that there was nothing inside except some spellcasting materials!

"A professional assassin..." Li Wei muttered to himself, a murderous intent surging within him.

Clearly, to avoid revealing his identity, the assassin brought nothing but the necessary spellcasting materials before taking action.

"Someone hired an assassin to murder me, someone harmless as I am? I'm just a pharmacist," Li Wei wondered, perplexed.

If it were an enemy from District 9, Whale Song Island, trying to harm them, there would be no need for them to go through the trouble of hiring assassins. Whale Song Island are already dark wizards; they would have already given up and acted recklessly.

Therefore, Li Wei felt that his enemy should still be the White Wizard in Stromgarde.

"Who could it be? Have I offended anyone?" Li Wei thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

"I work diligently every day manufacturing pharmaceuticals, earning money legally. Why are there still inexplicable people trying to harm me?"

"Could it be that I've cut off anyone's source of income? No, there's no competition between me and other pharmacists. Merit points are distributed uniformly by the military; the more you work, the more you earn, and the less you work, the less you earn."

In this city of rapids, he was just an insignificant nobody who only wanted to live a simple and honest life.

Li Wei took a deep breath, calmed down, gouged out the Eye Demon's eyeballs, and burned the corpse to ashes with a large fireball spell.

Apart from the eyeball, nothing else on the Eye Demon's body is usable, as it also emits demonic energy radiation, so Li Wei naturally wouldn't keep it.

The military merit bracelet suddenly gave a notification.

After Li Wei opened it, he found that he had suddenly gained 500 merit points.

"Killing a Beholder grants 500 merit points, ten times that of a level one monster. Not bad."

Li Wei returned to the stronghold.

Looking at the diverse people in these strongholds, he felt as if everyone in the world wanted to harm him.

"That assassin seems to be from the Shadow faction, a small branch of the Dark Energy faction. There shouldn't be many people practicing Shadow magic in Stromgarde City, so someone who can hire a second-circle assassin must be of high status. I'd like to see who's messing with me."

"Sigh, don't bully honest people."

……

Wailing City.

After being away for several days, Li Wei returned to the Apothecary Tower. Huffman breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Li Wei's safe return.

In the days that followed, Li Wei began making all sorts of preparations for crafting the Eye of the Beholder; he had already prepared all the other materials.

He continued to refine the Ice Heart Potion, and a month later, Li Wei's potion-making skill reached the ninth level.

This means that Li Wei has successfully advanced to the second-level pharmacist level.

He went to Huffman's residence, told Huffman about his promotion to the second ring, and successfully passed the second ring pharmacist certification exam.

After advancing to the second ring, Huffman no longer allowed Livy to refine the Ice Heart Potion.

Instead, he had Li Wei refine second-level red and blue potions for the front lines.

Because of the scarcity of pharmacists in the second ring, red and blue potions in the second ring have always been in short supply.

Li Wei also took this opportunity to quickly improve his proficiency in potions.

His merit points are also increasing rapidly.

Green and Tomman offered their congratulations upon hearing that Levi had advanced to the second-level pharmacist.

The stronger Li Wei is, the easier it will be for his trio of musketeers to get along in the Alchemist's Tower.

Li Wei temporarily put the matter of his assassination attempt out of his mind and did not tell Huffman about it.

His most important task right now is to refine the Eye of the Beholder and advance to the second-circle wizard level.

After advancing to the second ring, he might not be considered a big shot in this Turbulent City, but he was certainly no longer at the bottom.

That way, it will be much easier for me to conduct my own investigation.

Time flies like an arrow.

Inside the Tower of Apothecaries, Li Wei's training went smoothly.

In his spare time, Li Wei would consciously make contact with the people of the Apothecary Tower, hoping to use his spider sense to find out who was hostile to him.

In the end, Li Wei gained nothing.

Among the pharmacists who worked like him, none of them were hostile towards him.

He narrowed down the scope to five key executives.

However, among the five managers, apart from Huffman, who was directly in charge of him, Levi had no way of contacting the other four managers due to his status and position.

For a time, Li Wei was unable to verify his guess.

He had a feeling that the mastermind might be one or more of the other four executives, but he had no evidence.

The year 1042 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of Blazing Fire.

Li Wei's merit points have exceeded 10,000. He quickly improved his potion-making proficiency to prepare for crafting the Eye Demon's Gaze, working himself to the bone.

Huffman noticed his hard work and effort, which made Huffman value Levi more and more.

A good employee is one who is willing to work overtime!

At the same time, Huffman's performance as the supervisor also steadily improved.

The extra sales that Levi brought to Huffman allowed Huffman to buy an expensive residence in the Upper East Side more quickly.

Soon after, Huffman moved to the Upper Town, but continued to come every day to check on the wizards' tasks.

Finally, after feeling that he had a good grasp of the second-level potion, Li Wei began to refine the Eye of the Demon on his own.

Back then, Ms. Mai Lin needed to find other people to assist her, but Li Wei did all the work himself.

With his current skill level, he is far superior to Teacher Mai Lin back then, and he is fully capable of refining it himself.

Most importantly, the Eye Demon Potion is too precious, and even though they have a good relationship, Levi doesn't dare to cooperate with Green.

Wealth can be very tempting.

After this inexplicable assassination attempt, Li Wei became even more wary of outsiders.

Compared to them, Leviathan and his group of adorable creatures are more loyal and simpler.

Humans are so complicated...

Seven days later.

Li Wei consumed all five of the Eye Demon's eyeballs.

Because Li Wei refined the ingredients on his own, it was difficult to control the auxiliary ingredients.

Therefore, the success rate was not high, and he only succeeded twice in the end, but that was enough for him to break through.

Inside the container, two eyeball-like potions emitted an eerie glow.

"I'll keep one for myself, and sell the other when I have the chance."

Li Wei felt that a single Eye Demon Potion was worth at least 30,000 Tai Shi in this Turbulent City, not much less valuable than a third-ring witch artifact. After all, this was a precious breakthrough potion, an essential item. Witch artifacts, on the other hand, were dispensable, merely icing on the cake.

Taking a deep breath, Li Wei swallowed the Eye Demon Potion and immediately began meditating.

This time, he aims to break through the second ring road in one fell swoop.

With his current fire elemental affinity, plus this Eye Demon Potion...

Li Wei is almost guaranteed to break through to the second ring; the probability of failure is extremely low!

If this fails, then Li Wei is a pig!

One day later.

Livy meditates.

In that boundless void, a continuous stream of spiritual energy began to flow into Li Wei's mind.

Within the ocean of consciousness, spiritual power shone ever brighter, and there seemed to be some red light flickering and spreading.

In terms of quantity, that invisible spiritual power has grown much stronger than before.

In terms of quality, this spiritual energy is more solidified than that of the first ring period.

Originally, it was an illusory spiritual force, but it gave Li Wei the feeling that if he went further, it could form a substantial spiritual force.

Li Wei heard that if he wanted to advance to the third ring, in addition to mastering the third ring spells, there was an extra special requirement compared to before.

That is, illusory mental energy can be transformed into gaseous mental energy within the mind.

This is what is known as the vaporization of spiritual energy.

After the fourth ring, mental energy liquefies.

The five rings solidify spiritual energy, forming what is known as spiritual energy crystallization.

Upon advancing to a higher level, the crystallized spiritual energy transforms into a primordial soul that merges with the soul!

The path of a wizard is one of constantly refining one's spiritual power.

When the spiritual energy from the void stopped flowing in, the spiritual energy in Li Wei's mind also stopped growing.

Li Wei opened his eyes, his gaze sharp, and a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation emanated from between his brows. Fortunately, there was an isolation array, so these fluctuations did not disturb the neighbors.

This is the second environment. He looked at his own body, his diamond-like body radiating a pale golden glow, with runes flashing.

After mastering the first stage of Earth Meditation, Li Wei constructed this spell model.

Now that the Sun Meditation Technique has advanced to the second level, my overall level has improved. Using this second-level spell of the Earth School, although not my specialty, is much easier than before.

As for those first-level spells, they are even more responsive and easy to use, with both the rhythm and speed of casting far exceeding those of the first-level period.

Levi touched the Klein crystal with his hand.

"Mental Strength: 51"

"Spell Power: 1001"

"I'm in the second ring now. In this turbulent city, I've finally escaped the ranks of the bottom."

Sorry, I just finished writing this. I'll update it first and then correct any typos.

To celebrate reaching one million words, I wrote a little more than usual.

That's why I finished writing it quite late.

A long chapter of 9000 words, plus an extra 3000 words.

I'm asking for monthly votes and recommendation votes!

(End of this chapter)
