Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 205 Seven Thousand Tai Shi! Thousand Faces, Nameless! (Last day, long chapter, please vote!)

The Secret Realm of the Giant Tree.

This is the secret realm where the Green Forest Tower is located.

Like the Colin family's secret realm that Li Wei had visited before, this is also a small secret realm.

Even a small secret realm is more than enough to serve as the base for the Green Forest Tower.

Compared to the Colin family's storm-ravaged secret realm, this place seems much more normal.

Plains, mountains, and vast forests of giant trees, hundreds of feet tall, can be seen everywhere.

This secret realm does not belong to the Green Forest Tower, but is the private secret realm of Riemann, the inspector of the Eighth District.

However, since the Green Forest Witch is now Riemann's partner, she naturally moved the entire Green Forest Tower into the Giant Tree Secret Realm.

The Green Forest Witch learned of this situation from Riemann before the dark wizards on Whale Song Island launched their war.

She was keen to develop and expand the Green Forest Tower, and given her good relationship with Mylin, she brought all the members of the Gray and White Tower, which lacked the protection of the Three Rings, to the Secret Realm ahead of schedule.

Mailin also became a member of the Green Forest Tower. Because of Mailin's character and her noble status as a second-ring alchemist, she soon became the deputy tower master.

Hidden among the towering trees is the Green Forest Tower.

Inside a small house.

"Li Wei, do you want to join the Green Forest Tower?" Mylene asked, sipping her tea.

Li Wei shook his head: "Teacher, I won't join for now. I'm currently serving in the military, and joining the organization won't bring me any benefits."

Seeing that Teacher Mai Lin and the others were doing well, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

Now he can live in Stromgarde without any worries.

Although the Gray Tower is now a thing of the past, the friends and teachers from that time will always remain in my heart.

"Well, we won't force you. The evacuation was so rushed back then, we thought you wouldn't be back in the human world for a while. Then we heard that the portal to the human world had closed, and we thought you could escape this calamity in the human world, but we didn't expect you to come anyway," Mylene sighed.

"Living in the human world isn't a solution; we have to come back and face it eventually," Li Wei said.

"Congratulations on becoming a second-circle wizard. It truly proves what Herman said: I don't know what kind of experiences you've had, but your future will certainly not be defined by the talent of the Child of Chaos."

Mai Lin sighed, noting that although they were both children of chaos, she only entered the Second Ring Road a hundred years later, while Li Wei entered the Second Ring Road in his fifties.

"I work as a pharmacist in Stromgarde City. I take a lot of potions, and that's how I barely made it into the second ring after I turned fifty," Li Wei said with a helpless smile.

"Keep it up, our Ocean School's legendary wizard, Deep Blue Sage Luther, was also a Child of Chaos, yet he still reached the realm of legendary wizards. You are still young, and you can continue to strive for the third and even fourth rings in the future," Mylene encouraged.

Talent is not the only factor that determines a wizard's success; talent merely provides a minimum standard for a wizard.

Personal effort, willpower, opportunities, luck, and so on all contribute to a wizard's potential.

Moreover, besides earth, fire, and feng shui, there are other unknown special talents. These are all uncontrollable variables.

However, compared to these complex and ever-changing factors, the talent of earth, fire, and feng shui elements is the easiest to determine and is also the most important.

So over time, it became the fixed standard for measuring talent in the wizarding world.

After catching up with Mai Lin and the others, Li Wei prepared to leave.

He has too many things to do and can't live a secluded life in this hidden realm.

Moreover, even within a secret realm, safety is not absolute.

As long as there is contact with the outside world, there will always be a day when it is exposed; it's just a matter of time.

In summary, with the Greenwood Witch and the powerful Fourth Ring Overseer Riemann in charge, there is protection.

For a considerable period of time, the safety of this secret realm will be well guaranteed.

With Mai Lin and the others here, Li Wei felt very reassured.

Upon parting, Li Wei made a special trip to the Green Forest Witch to express his gratitude.

After all, no matter what, this witch saved Mylene and the others, and was also Levi's benefactor.

The beautiful green elf looked at Li Wei and asked, "Are you really not planning to stay here?"

Li Wei nodded: "Thank you for your kindness, senior."

"Then I'll have to trouble you to sign a confidentiality agreement. Although you are Mylin's apprentice, I have to consider the entire Green Forest Tower," said the Green Forest Witch.

"Of course, I don't want Ms. Mai Lin and the others' peaceful lives to be disrupted."

Li Wei checked the confidentiality agreement and signed it after confirming there were no problems.

He turned back to look at his companions from the gray-white tower waving, and then stepped out of the secret realm alone.

After emerging from the water, he found Gustav and Leviathan fast asleep on the seabed in the nearby sea.

"Let's go to the Yellow Earth Continent. There seems to be a Triceratops King in the Ancient Forest there. Also, I don't know if that giant ape is still around."

In addition, Levi also wanted to visit his old friends Mudi and Dinos in Lion City.

This time, Li Wei rode Gustav directly across the sea. With this sea monster as his mount, ordinary sea beasts dared not approach.

Seven days later, Livy arrived on the Loess Continent and settled Leviathan and Gustav.

He searched the Ancient Forest for a long time but didn't even see a trace of a Triceratops.

Moreover, in the center of the Ancient Forest, the aura of a third-ring extraordinary creature faintly lingers.

Li Wei suspected that the Triceratops King Beast was within the territory of the three-ringed extraordinary creature.

But Li Wei, now that he was in the situation, naturally didn't dare to cause trouble for the Third Ring, and ultimately had no choice but to leave the Ancient Forest.

He headed towards Lion King City while searching for the giant ape on the continent.

The Loess Plateau is so vast that it would be extremely difficult for Li Wei to search it thoroughly.

He searched for possible clues in the towns along the way, trying to glean some useful information.

I eventually heard that a few years ago, the Flame Prince Rayman of the Ashdi family captured a second-ring creature, the Silverfrost Ice Ape, in the wild and used it as his mount.

This greatly angered Li Wei.

"Damn it, they stole my pet! I'll remember this!"

Li Wei suddenly remembered that the second-ring black wizard who had chased him and killed him was apparently a member of the Ashidi family.

In retrospect, it seems the Ashdie family had long ago secretly sided with the dark wizard.

He wasted no more time and rode directly to Lion City in Gustav.

I've heard that the Golden Lion family and the Waum family are now joining forces to fight against the dark wizarding forces led by the Ashdi family.

This loess continent was also in chaos.

When Li Wei arrived at the sea area near Lion King City, he sensed that something was amiss.

From a great distance, Li Wei could hear the roar of cannons, the explosions of spells, and all sorts of shouts.

"There's a war going on in Lion City." Li Wei became alert.

He had Gustav stop at a distance, while he himself used a concealment spell to hide inside Leviathan's mouth.

Then Leviathan mingled with some sea monsters and headed forward.

He wanted to see what was going on, wondering how Mudi and Dinos were doing.

Today, all sorts of alert and defensive arrays are activated on the walls of Lion King City.

Above the Joestar family's castle in the center of the city, a battle flag embroidered with a golden lion fluttered in the wind.

On the sea opposite Lion King City, rows of wizard ships laden with alchemical cannons were on display, flying the banner of the Black Sun.

Cannon fire filled the air, and magic spells soared into the sky.

The two sides are now engaged in a fierce battle on the sea.

On one side is the Golden Lion family, who are guarding the city.

On the other side is the Flame King Aishidi family, who have already pledged allegiance to the Black Sun.

Two third-ring wizards are battling high in the sky; one of them is the old Golden Lion, Leon Joestar.

This middle-aged nobleman was surrounded by a three-ringed, earth-yellow defensive field, which blocked the vast majority of attacks.

In the blink of an eye, spikes of earth appeared behind him, hurtling towards the enemy in front of him.

Opposite him stood a young man whose eyes burned with the phantom of a fiery demon.

It was none other than the Flame Prince Rayman, the strongest member of the Ashdi family.

With a wave of his hand, terrifying flames scorched the earth spikes, causing them to crumble and turn to ashes.

"Old Golden Lion, your strength hasn't improved at all. What do you have to fight me with?" Lehman mocked, his face full of smug arrogance.

"Lehman, aren't you afraid of the Tower of Stars' retribution for your allegiance to the Black Sun?" the old Golden Lion questioned.

"After the rains? The Tower of Stars is like a grasshopper after the rains, what makes you think you can settle scores with me? Ridiculous. The boring era is over, the free and great era has arrived. Survival of the fittest, old fogies like you are destined to be eliminated by the new era!" Lehman sneered.

"Bullshit! What freedom? You don't actually think the Black Sun will grant you lowlifes freedom after the war, do you? History is a cycle, and these so-called political struggles are utterly pointless. Black Sun Adam is extremely cruel; he would murder his own father for the sake of his lineage. You dare to work for someone like that?" Old Golden Lion said.

"Nonsense, stubborn and incorrigible, die!" The Flame Prince was enveloped in towering flames, and in the firelight, a faint phantom of a demon with wings wrapped in lava could be seen.

"Let me show you the power of the abyss!" Lehman said confidently.

His strength is about the same as that of the old Golden Lion.

However, with the help of the Black Sun, he has begun to awaken the power of the Lava Mountain Bat's abyssal blood.

As the power of bloodline surged, the temperature of the flames rose even higher, and the fire intensified.

Even the powerful defensive field of the old golden lion began to crack, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

On the battlefield nearby, another third-ring powerhouse from the Golden Lion family was also fighting against the Flame Prince's men.

This war, which came on so suddenly and fiercely, caught us completely off guard.

Now, the entire Golden Lion family is involved in the battle.

Even Leon's son, Dinos Joestar, was fighting on the battlefield.

Beside Joestar, a burly man covered in golden fur was fighting a first-ring veteran wizard with his invincible palms and the golden centipede-like monster that appeared behind him.

This is Dinos's knight teacher, the legendary knight Mudi.

Everyone is fighting because behind them lies Lion City, where their ancestors have lived for generations.

The Golden Lion family will never allow the enemy to breach this city.

The attacks from Lehman grew increasingly fierce, and that terrifying demonic power made it more and more difficult for Leon.

"This Lehman has demonic blood; I alone am no match for him," the Golden Lion thought anxiously.

Just as the Golden Lion was about to be captured by Lehman, a gust of wind formed in the sky and earth.

The flames were drawn into the flames, and the flames spun around in the wind.

"Old Golden Lion, I'm sorry I'm a little late," a gentle voice rang out.

A bald wizard dressed in a storm robe strolled through the void, holding a war drum in his hands. With each strike of the drum, the gale grew stronger.

This is the patriarch of the Vaum family, and also the strongest three-ring expert in the Vaum family. He has come to assist in the battle with his ancestral three-ring magical artifact, the Drum of the Gale.

This relieved the old Golden Lion; he and Chief Waum should have no problem defeating Lehman.

Amidst the raging winds, Lehman transformed into a ferocious fire demon. With the blessing of demonic blood, his strength surged, and he also became extremely bloodthirsty.

He tore through the gale, facing two opponents alone, without fear.

Li Wei watched the three third-ring wizards fight from afar, feeling their terrifying power, and constantly comparing it with his own current strength.

He concluded that he had used all his trump cards and might only be able to hold out against a third-ring wizard for a few moves before his life was in danger.

Third-ring wizards possess innate spells and a third-ring defensive field, allowing them to handle even close-range attacks from knights like Levi with ease.

With the overwhelming power of the three-ring spells, Li Wei's current defense certainly won't last long.

Therefore, from beginning to end, even when the old golden lion was about to die, Li Wei did not dare to go up and help him.

It's best not to get involved in battles of this level.

It wasn't that Li Wei was heartless, but rather that he had to prioritize preserving his own life.

In addition, Li Wei's gaze was also fixed on the white giant ape on the battlefield.

That familiar appearance was the one Li Wei had encountered in the secret realm.

"As expected, this guy was subdued by Lehman."

The blood of the giant ape was very helpful for Li Wei's practice of Vajra Breathing, and Li Wei always regarded it as something he could have easily obtained.

Seeing it now used as Lehman's mount is rather displeasing.

So Li Wei was researching how to get the giant ape back.

Judging from the giant ape's appearance, it was probably subdued by Rayman using the Spirit Binding Ring.

For Levi to break this contract, either Lehman must release it voluntarily, or... he must kill Lehman.

After killing a third-ring wizard, Levi watched the battle between the third-ring wizards and shook his head.

"It's too risky. Even with Dinos's father and another third-ring powerhouse holding them back, this is still far too crazy."

"How about we give it a try? Theoretically, I have Iron Curtain, which can withstand one attack from a level three enemy. If my attack doesn't work, I'll just run away quickly."

Li Wei was torn between wanting the Silver Frost Ice Ape and not wanting to take any risks.

"never mind."

After hesitating for a long time, Li Wei finally gave up.

Life is too precious.

He almost let his greed overcome his reason.

"However, that third-ring wizard is currently tied up by a powerful opponent of the same level and is unable to spare any attention. This is the perfect opportunity for me to take advantage of the situation. I dare not target Lehman, but I will not be so lenient with the others on the edge of the battlefield."

Geralt, the Dark Wizard Hunter, is coming soon!

With this thought in mind, the Hundred Faces and Thousand Forms were activated. Li Wei ordered Leviathan to leave, while he quickly went to the edge of the battlefield, away from the place where the Third Ring Wizards were fighting.

His eyes were sharp and bright, like those of a raptor surveying its territory from high above.

In the blink of an eye, he spotted his prey.

A first-ring dark wizard who is slaughtering wizard apprentices in the city.

"Hahaha, all of you die!" This dark wizard bullied the weak, his arrogance was extremely overbearing.

"We'll fight to the death, for the Golden Lion Clan!" The Golden Lion Clan's apprentices showed no fear.

"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!" The dark wizard had barely finished speaking when a massive fireball spell suddenly descended.

boom!

His defensive force field was damaged, and he was almost roasted to death.

The next moment, before he could even act, spiderwebs descended, enveloping the black wizard, and golden or red poisonous insects swarmed up and devoured him.

Li Wei descended from the sky, looking at the stunned wizard apprentices, and pretended to be an expert without saying a word.

Sensing Li Wei's vast spiritual power, these wizard apprentices were greatly invigorated.

"First ring, no, this is second ring... a strong one."

Li Wei picked up the black wizard's storage bag, which was now just bones, and quickly left.

The current battlefield situation is chaotic.

He released all the armored scorpions and red-faced sea spiders from the insect house.

These poisonous insects, carefully cultivated by Li Wei, are best suited to play their role on such a chaotic battlefield.

"Go ahead and kill to your heart's content, and retrieve the storage bag for me."

Li Wei spoke to the spiders, each the size of a human head, surrounding him.

The Red-faced Sea Spider can be used to collect things in its web and bring them back, which is very useful.

Moments later, thousands of poisonous insects vanished from Li Wei's body.

On the battlefield that followed, the screams of black wizards could be heard from time to time; neither formal wizards nor wizarding apprentices could escape unscathed.

Li Wei's lips curled up.

The old and new grudges of the Ashdie family can be settled all at once.

On the battlefield, the Crimson-Faced Sea Spider moves with incredible speed, like a red flash.

Whenever they encounter dark wizards wearing the robes of the Ashdi family, they release spiderwebs to control them, inject venom, and then the armored scorpions follow closely behind, devouring their enemies.

Sometimes, when enemies attack the Crimson-Faced Sea Spider with fire magic, the Armored Scorpions will appear in droves, using their hard shells to block the attacks.

Li Wei had already thoroughly studied the characteristics of these two insects.

The Armored Scorpion has strong defense; it's incredibly resilient and can even devour defensive force fields.

The Red-faced Sea Spider is extremely fast and can also spit webs to control enemies and inject venom.

Therefore, Li Wei would intentionally have them practice together.

Now that it's been put into practical use, the results are quite good.

They sometimes gather together to attack, and sometimes scatter to avoid attacks. They are well-trained, just like an army of marching ants on the battlefield. Even a first-ring wizard is no match for them.

Soon, this unexpectedly powerful army of Zerg attracted the attention of Aite, a second-circle wizard from the nearby Ashdi family.

"How come the Golden Lion family has a wizard from the insect school?"

Aite stared at the swarm of insects slaughtering his family members, his heart filled with both anger and shock.

Originally, the Ashidi family had the upper hand, but now, with the addition of these terrifying swarms of insects, wizard apprentices and wizards are falling one by one at a very fast pace.

These insect swarms attacked with purpose and method.

They only attack first-circle wizards and wizard apprentices, and avoid second-circle wizards altogether.

It's not that they can't defeat second-circle wizards, it's just that they're too inefficient and waste time.

For Li Wei, it would be better to kill more wizard apprentices.

Aite also saw that behind some red spiders, there were storage items being pulled by spider webs, and their calves were paddling wildly, speeding across the sea.

This bug! It actually stole my storage bag!

It's obvious this was manipulated!

"No, we have to deal with these damn bugs first."

Aite chanted a second-circle fire spell, and high temperatures filled the air as a firebird with outstretched wings took shape and charged towards the insects.

The next moment, the Great Black Sky Curtain tore through the air and swept away Aite's attack.

The curtain of darkness continued its relentless advance, engulfing the unsuspecting Aite and carrying him to the bottom of the sea.

"A three-ringed witch artifact!" Aite was shocked.

Before him stood a burly wizard, his body radiating golden light.

It was Li Wei.

He let the swarm deal with the weaker wizards, while he himself dealt with the second-ring wizards.

He wanted to seize this great opportunity and make a fortune.

Aite broke free from the shackles of the Great Black Sky Veil and quickly swam towards the surface of the sea.

They had absolutely no intention of engaging in a major battle with Li Wei.

Just kidding, the enemy is a second-circle wizard who also possesses a third-circle artifact, and he clearly came prepared. How could he possibly be a match for him?

Li Wei would not allow him to succeed.

The Great Black Heaven Veil struck again, and the Vampire Touch quickly followed suit.

At the same time, Skine and the tyrant came to surround and intercept them.

At that moment, Aite knew what profound despair meant.

The carnage unfolded on the seabed. Not long after, Aite died a violent death, his body was devoured, and the storage bag was picked up by Li Wei.

Li Wei's eyes flashed as he continued to wander along the edge of the battlefield, taking the lives of one weak black wizard after another.

He was covered in storage items, making him look like the Nine-Bag Elder of the Beggars' Sect.

Li Wei dared not go to the center of the battlefield, as that would easily put him in danger if he were discovered by the Third Ring Wizard.

at the same time.

high in the air.

The Flame Prince fought two opponents alone, but ultimately fell into a disadvantageous position.

Old Golden Lion also used his ancestral three-ringed sorcerer's weapon, the Lion King's Sword.

After regaining his composure, Lehman realized that he was unlikely to gain the upper hand in this battle.

He was already quite satisfied with being able to take on two families at once, and now he had time to play around with them.

Today's event was merely a test of the strength of their two families, and as it turns out, it was nothing special.

Once his strength improves further, or if the Black Sun Tower sends a new third-ring wizard to assist him, he is confident that he can take down both families in one fell swoop.

With this thought in mind, Lehman used magic to force back the two powerful third-ring experts and quickly fled.

The Yanwang family's wizard ship also began to retreat.

Golden Lion did not continue the pursuit, nor did he have the strength to press his advantage. Moreover, one should not pursue a desperate enemy; pushing Lehman too far could have even more serious consequences.

In the far seas, after sailing quite a distance, Lehman stood at the bow of the wizard ship, his face grim.

It was only then that Lehman realized that the number of wizards he had brought seemed to be... much smaller.

"Where's Ett?" Lehman asked.

"My lord, Aite... seems to have died in battle," a second-ring wizard said fearfully.

"How many wizards were lost in this battle?"

"Preliminary statistics indicate that two second-ring wizards, twelve first-ring wizards, and over a hundred apprentices have perished in battle..."

Lehman was instantly thrown into a rage.

"How is that possible? We clearly have the advantage!"

"My lord, a wizard spotted what appears to be a powerful insectologist outside our intelligence network, using thousands of alien insects to launch a surprise attack on our people amidst the chaos. They might be accomplices hired by the Golden Lion."

"Damn it, a bunch of useless trash! I could take on two people by myself and be fine! There are so many of you, and you still managed to lose so many wizards. You're all good-for-nothings!" Lehman's anger raged on the sea.

"Investigate for me. There are very few strong members of the Insect School. There aren't many in the Endless Sea. It's impossible for an Insect School wizard to suddenly appear out of nowhere."

……

When the battlefield returned to calm, the Golden Lion family members were cleaning up the battlefield.

Li Wei had already packed up his spoils and rushed over.

He saw the exhausted Dinos and Muti over there.

"Emperor Mu, what's going on?" Li Wei asked.

Emperor Mu was pleasantly surprised to see Li Wei. He was covered in wounds and panting heavily as he said, "We just encountered an attack from the Yan King family, but we have forced them back."

"Lord Levi, you're back. It's been a long time. How's the situation in Stromgarde?" Dinos asked.

"I'm doing fine over there. I took a leave of absence and came back to visit," Li Wei said.

Currently, both Mudi and Dinos have improved in strength, but compared to Levi, it's as if they haven't improved at all.

It's been so long since I last saw Emperor Mu; he's still a high-ranking wizard apprentice.

His plan to travel to the Realm of Life was also ruined by the outbreak of the war between the black and white wizards.

Now that Li Wei has almost mastered the method to break through the legendary barrier, Emperor Mu no longer needs to go to the Realm of Life.

Moreover, in the Giant Tree Secret Realm, there is the Green Forest Witch, a third-ring powerhouse of the Life School. If Emperor Mu still wants to join the Life School, Li Wei can introduce him to her.

With his golden spine and two legendary breathing techniques, Mu Di's current strength is in no way inferior to that of a first-ring senior wizard.

Dinos, on the other hand, was only one step away from reaching the legendary level, having reached the level that Emperor Mu had when he was in the mortal realm.

Li Wei helped clean up some of the mess, and was then invited to the Golden Lion family's home as a guest.

He came to the Yellow Earth Continent mainly for the Triceratops King Beast and the Silver Frost Ice Ape.

Now, with neither of these creatures available, Li Wei felt distressed.

He then sought out the Golden Lion family to learn more about the Flame King family.

He was preparing for future revenge.

Whale Song Island, the Flame King Family.

These two organizations will inevitably be dealt with once Li Wei advances to the third ring.

Li Wei bought some more materials at a low price in Lion King City, and then left, returning to District 9.

By placing Gustav and Leviathan on Blackfire Island, with Gustav guarding the base and Leviathan's magic circle, the probability of Blackfire Island being raided is not high.

After preparing the secret medicine, he rushed to Bass Island and returned to Stromgarde City by magic airship.

I gained a lot from this trip home.

When Huffman heard that Levi had returned, he called Levi to his residence alone.

After some communication, Li Wei learned that there was a new potion that he needed to refine.

During the two months that Levi was away, Huffman's performance declined somewhat.

This made Huffman lose his appetite and sleep; the days without Levi, this hardworking and excellent employee, were too difficult to endure.

This new potion formula is called [Blood Healing Potion], a second-level potion that can quickly heal injuries.

After obtaining it, Li Wei quickly mastered it and began a large number of refining tasks.

With such a potion, low-level combat wizards on the front lines can quickly heal non-fatal wounds.

Days passed in Stromgarde.

Li Wei returned to the routine of medicine making and cultivation, occasionally checking the Tower of Merit to see if the Green Fairy House had been sold.

In addition, Levi has also finished counting the spoils from the last hunt for the dark wizard.

A second-circle sorcerer artifact, from a second-circle dark wizard he murdered.

In addition, there are five ring-shaped magical artifacts, as well as various spellbooks, cultivation materials, a large number of Tai stones, and so on.

Li Wei categorized the spoils, keeping the useful ones for himself and quietly disposing of the useless ones in Stromgarde.

In the end, they harvested 30,000 taels of silver. Including Li Wei's previous savings, the total taels of silver suddenly exceeded 70,000.

This is a fortune that many second-ring wizards could hardly imagine.

Li Wei suddenly felt that Minnie Mouse House didn't seem so expensive after all.

"Murder and arson are still the fastest ways to make money."

Li Wei was filled with emotion.

However, such good opportunities are rare.

He couldn't possibly run off to reap the benefits of every war; otherwise, he would inevitably capsize in the gutter sooner or later.

In this way, time flies by.

The year 1044 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Primordial Moon.

The 9th year of the Great Expedition.

The warband led by the Blue Sage Luther also arrived in the Dimension of Ten Thousand Machines.

Li Wei silently prayed for the tower master, hoping that he and his lover could return in triumph.

After nearly a decade of traveling through Sky City, the Great Expedition has only just begun; what follows is a long and endless war.

The situation regarding the internal wars within the Wizarding World is also far from optimistic.

The war has spread to many lands of the faithless, and shows no signs of abating; on the contrary, it is escalating.

In the Sixth War Zone of the Inner Ring, within the Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm, the Ninth-Ring Grand Wizard still sits in the Well of the Abyss, awaiting the arrival of a legendary wizard to destroy it.

However, with the disappearance of the Lord of a Thousand Eyes, the demonic energy in the Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm is gradually fading.

In addition, the demon-hunting operation is proceeding in an orderly manner.

I believe that once the Well of the Abyss is destroyed, and without the support of the Abyss Lord, it's only a matter of time before the monsters in this area are wiped out.

As Li Wei's skill level increased, his practice also changed every day.

On the Cavaliers' side

With the support of the secret medicine, and a high-grade one made from Gustav's blood, the speed of practicing the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique increased significantly.

Li Wei felt that he could reach the thirteenth level within two to three years.

In addition, I have made progress in all other breathing techniques.

In particular, those breathing techniques obtained in the human realm, even the slowest ones, have been cultivated to the ninth level, while the fastest, such as the Emerald Dragon Breathing Technique, are not far from the eleventh level limit.

Li Wei pushed the Ash Cross Slash to the seventh tier limit, resulting in the final special effect, [Ash Power].

This also means that, following the Golden Cross Slash, Li Wei has once again pushed another sword technique to its limit.

However, the ash and the gold could not be fused together, which left Li Wei slightly disappointed.

As for the wizards, Li Wei's mental strength has now reached 56 points.

During this period, he successfully obtained the recipe for the second-level meditation aid from Huffman and officially began refining the meditation aid.

Currently, among Huffman's pharmacists, there are very few second-ring pharmacists qualified to refine this kind of potion.

They are usually made by a three-ring apothecary like Huffman.

Because the materials for meditation aids are quite precious, the military can only entrust these materials to wizards who are more confident in their ability to refine them, otherwise the failure rate would be too high and the military would feel bad about wasting the money.

With the military's material supply, Li Wei's pharmaceutical experience was rapidly increasing.

Not long after, the tenth level of pharmaceutical manufacturing was achieved.

Li Wei's pharmaceutical skills have reached the level of a senior pharmacist in the second ring, officially surpassing Green's.

The success rate of meditation aids has reached over 80%.

In this way, after deducting the medicine that was handed over, Li Wei could still keep one or two for his own use.

That's more than enough for his daily practice.

With a stable channel for obtaining meditation aids for free, Li Wei's cultivation speed was also guaranteed.

Li Wei had only advanced to the second ring a few years ago, yet his mental strength increased by 5 points directly. This speed was undeniably fast.

From this perspective, Li Wei could become a senior wizard of the second ring before he turns sixty.

Then, before the age of seventy, reach the limit of a second-circle senior wizard and prepare for advancing to the third circle.

All of this is inseparable from the elemental affinity effect brought by the Knight's Breathing Technique.

Livy's original idea of ​​knights and wizards helping each other was successfully put into practice, and it proved to be feasible.

Now, Li Wei is progressing steadily and methodically on both the path of knightly training and wizard training.

Li Wei's proficiency with the second-circle spells he had previously mastered was also slowly increasing; this was all a matter of time, and he wasn't in a hurry.

At the same time, Li Wei also began to look for a suitable second-circle defensive spell to serve as his defensive force field.

He now has 60,000 merit points, which is more than enough to buy a top-tier second-level defensive spell.

After mastering the second-ring defensive force field, Li Wei planned to begin his experiments on synthesizing spells.

If the path of spell synthesis is feasible.

In the future, avoid buying spells if possible, and try not to waste money. Just synthesize them using low-level spells.

In the past, Li Wei never left the city, spending his days at home making medicine.

Tomman, one of the Three Musketeers, also successfully advanced to the second-circle alchemist and second-circle wizard, a double celebration indeed.

This also means that Huffman has gained another key general.

Huffman's performance has been improving year by year.

The huge reward that was rightfully his was now out of reach, which greatly distressed a certain manager in the Upper City.

Inside a luxurious mansion in the Upper East Side.

A handsome, tall, and imposing third-ring wizard dressed in a white robe paced back and forth in his home, listening to his subordinates' performance reports, his expression growing increasingly grim.

This is none other than Rex, the Healer, one of the five supervisors of the Tower of Apothecaries.

"That little dwarf Huffman, who entered the Alchemist's Tower as a mere rogue cultivator, actually dares to ride roughshod over me, Rex. Now, countless people in the family are gossiping about me behind my back, saying that I've wasted the family's cultivation and can't even compare to a rogue cultivator."

Rex's wizarding family is the Thunder Dragon Family, a fifth-ring wizarding family located in the Inner Ring Sea.

This is a rare wizarding family in the Endless Sea, primarily based on the Thunder School.

The Thunder Dragon family had a large business empire, which was developed in order to expand the family's status and network in Stromgarde.

This family went to great lengths to have their fifth-ring expert, [Thunder Spear Soret], defeat many rivals and enter Stromgarde City as the deputy commander-in-chief.

Then, they arranged for Rex to take on the lucrative position of head of the Apothecary Tower.

Relying on the power and position of Director Rex and Deputy Commander Soret.

The Thunder Dragon family also made a fortune and continued to expand and strengthen its presence in the inner sea area.

However, in recent years, with Huffman's rise from humble beginnings, he has seriously threatened Rex's position as the top supervisor of the Apothecary Tower.

The family is very dissatisfied with his performance over the years, which puts a lot of pressure on Rex.

"My lord, there's no need to be angry. Huffman's rise to prominence is purely due to good luck. Over the years, he's taken on several excellent pharmacists."

Green and Levi alone raised Huffman's mission completion target by 8 percentage points.

"Especially that minotaur Levi, he has an amazing talent for medicine making and is very efficient at it. He's now Huffman's little rascal, and it seems he intends to make Levi his successor," an assistant said.

"Of course I know, the problem is, how do we solve it? I sent Old Mo to deal with him, but he came back unharmed, and Old Mo is still missing. He's most likely dead at my hands. This Levi is hiding his strength; he's definitely not as simple and honest as he seems on the surface!" Rex said.

"My lord," the assistant suggested, "since Li Wei is not leaving the city, if we want to get rid of him without anyone noticing, perhaps we could ask Lord Thunder Spear to lift a finger. Taking care of a mere second-ring alchemist would be a piece of cake."

"I'm bothering Thunder Spear with this kind of nonsense? You think I'm not embarrassed enough?" Rex frowned.

"This is also for the benefit of the Thunder Dragon family; Thunder Spear shouldn't refuse, right?"

"No, that old man, the second-in-command of Stromgarde, is about to be transferred from his position as commander-in-chief. Next, they'll be electing a new commander-in-chief from among the two deputy commanders. If we let Thunderspears handle things at this time and they don't do it cleanly, leaving something for our competitors, then all our family's efforts will be in vain. This method is not suitable; we have to find a solution ourselves," Rex said.

"Oh right, I remember Old Mo mentioned that he had a teacher named something like 'The Thousand-Faced Nameless One,' the leader of an assassin organization who claimed he could kill even a third-ring wizard if the money was right. He should be quite capable. Take Old Mo's token and ask him for help. I don't believe he can't handle a pharmacist." Rex seemed to remember something and quickly asked.

"That Thousand-Faced Nameless One charges a lot... Boss."

"It's alright, go ahead and hire him. It's just money, I have plenty. If possible, I'd like to hire him as my personal hitman, to form a long-term partnership, to help me clear some obstacles," Rex said.

"Alright, boss, I'll give it a try. That Thousand-Faced Nameless One has a strange personality; I'm not sure if I can get him to come."

"Just go and that's it. If you can't get them to come, then we'll think of another way."

Watching his men leave, Rex gradually calmed down.

Once Thunder Spear wins the election, in this Turbulent City, apart from the couple who are busy in seclusion trying to break through to the seventh ring, it will be the Thunder Dragon family who will dominate everything.

I'll update first and then revise later. It's the last day, so please vote with monthly tickets and recommendation tickets!
