Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 211 Second-Ring Senior! Thirteenth-Tier Blood Beast! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

night.

Stromgarde

The doors to the alchemy workshop slowly closed.

Li Wei put away the tyrant II and flew home.

He flew very fast and very cautiously.

Because within the city of Stromgarde, Li Wei dared not use his synesthetic perception on a large scale, fearing that he would be detected by those powerful wizards.

Therefore, he couldn't control the overall situation, which made Li Wei feel very insecure.

Especially in the Upper East Side, there's a guy named Rex who's always thinking about how to mess with himself.

However, thanks to this year's general election, order in all aspects has been strictly enforced.

Therefore, Li Wei could sense that Rex had slowed down his targeting of him recently.

According to Huffman, Thunderspear is one of the two candidates in this election, the other being "Lady Blue Dragon," another deputy commander of Stromgarde.

Her real name is Mrs. Ash.

Lady Blue Dragon is a fifth-circle wizard of the School of Ice, and also a true... Dragonborn.

Dragons are a very mysterious species. They seem to have no reproductive barriers and can always leave their bloodline in various planes.

Extraordinary beings are one type; another is the dragonborn.

Dragonborn are essentially no different from hybrid dragons, except that hybrid dragons are extraordinary beings, while dragonborn are human.

The origins of the Dragonborn are said to date back to ancient times, when the wizarding civilization was just born, struggling to emerge amidst the power of theocracy and other powerful multidimensional rulers.

Some dragons with strange sexual fetishes abduct young and beautiful witches to their lair.

The witch was forced to have relations with them; heaven knows how those dragons, comparable to mountains, became connected to her.

In short, these witches became pregnant, thus giving birth to the earliest dragonborn.

Initially, "Dragonborn" was a derogatory term, and people would call a Dragonborn a "salamander bastard."

However, the true power of the Dragonborn was gradually revealed later on.

The wizards immediately changed their minds.

Most dragons are natural elemental adepts.

This means that every dragonborn possesses a talent for wizardry that far surpasses that of ordinary people.

Among the offspring of some pure-blooded dragons, there is even a small chance of producing descendants comparable to the children of the elements.

Later in the wizarding world, a noble and powerful, but rare, group emerged.

"Dragonborn Wizard"

Dragonborn wizards are natural spellcasters, and some of them, especially those of noble blood, have even mastered dragon magic.

Most importantly, they are natural-born body-refining wizards, possessing the powerful physical talents of the dragon race from birth.

Nowadays, dragonborn wizards have even formed their own school, known as the "Dragonology School".

They banded together for mutual support, and were mostly members of the "Dragonborn Order".

There is no doubt that, although the number of dragonborn wizards is very small.

However, they are all elite individuals who shine brightly in various fields of modern wizarding civilization.

Some witches who follow crooked paths are already thinking about how to seduce a dragon.

That way, at least I can raise a talented offspring.

However, now that the wizarding civilization has become powerful...

Dragons, especially sub-dragons and pure-blooded dragons, are now extremely rare.

In a way, Li Wei can also be considered a descendant of the dragon.

The dragon blood in his body is all genuine pure-blooded dragon blood.

Moreover, because of these bloodlines, he also possessed elemental affinity effects, similar to those of the Dragonborn.

However, other dragon descendants are at most just one bloodline.

Within Li Wei's body, however... a hundred flowers bloomed.

Return to the Wizard's Tower.

Training room.

Li Wei brought out Tyrant II.

He specifically reinforced the protective magic array.

I intend to test the strength of the Tyrant II.

"Ace!"

As soon as Li Wei shouted, Ace, who was acting as a gas stove in the kitchen, immediately transformed into a streak of fire and rushed in, followed by Argenta running after him.

The fluffy white wolf tail swayed back and forth.

"Hey, Master, dinner isn't ready yet." The white wolf girl was dressed in a maid-style robe.

They even imitated ordinary people by wearing an apron and holding a spatula in their hands.

Li Wei doesn't need to eat at all now, but in order to enjoy delicious food, he still maintains the habits he had when he was a mortal.

"Wait a minute." Li Wei dismissed Argenta, and Ace injected himself into Tyrant II's body.

Raging flames emerged from Tyrant II's body as Ace desperately burned himself out of the fire.

He found that he seemed to be losing control of the tyrant II.

It's not that Ace has become weaker, but rather that Tyrant II's energy consumption has exceeded Ace's energy output level.

In the end, Ace, having fully unleashed his power, successfully activated Tyrant II.

The alchemical monster attacked Li Wei.

Li Wei was in high spirits. His muscles bulged, his blood and qi surged, and his twelfth-level red lotus erupted. Power runes flashed, and immense power filled his entire body.

boom!

Livy and Tyrant II began their wrestling match in the training room.

Rumble!

The engine inside Tyrant II roared, and flames almost reached the top of the wizard tower.

Li Wei's body was actually moving backward.

"My normal power is no match for Tyrant II; I need to combine other forms to achieve this. Indeed, this power, once it gets close, even a third-ring wizard would have to be careful to parry."

Finally, an exhausted Ace emerged, and the entire Fire Elemental Spirit shrank considerably.

"It's a pity there's no Blackfire Island, otherwise Ace would have charged up much faster."

Currently, Ace can only recharge using the wisp of fire elemental power that roams freely in the world, which is relatively slow.

"We will need to install a hybrid power system in the future so that Ace and Taishi can start Tyrant II together. Ace alone cannot keep up with the power of Tyrant II unless it advances to the second level of fire element spirit."

The power of the tyrant was tested.

Li Wei arrived at the laboratory.

Inside a glass-like container.

A monkey shivered inside; its body was covered with downy feathers similar to those of birds.

Previous bloodline transplant experiments on mice had failed.

Li Wei guessed that the little mouse was probably too weak to accept the powerful Black Flame Demon Bird bloodline.

Therefore, he conducted many more experiments, which eventually led to the results we have today.

His analysis and testing revealed that the monkey already possessed a trace of the Black Flame Demon Bird bloodline.

Within this trace of demonic bird bloodline lies an even thinner, almost nonexistent, immortal bird bloodline.

This means that this monkey also possesses the bloodline of the phoenix.

Although this rare Phoenix bloodline won't bring about any significant changes.

But for the three brothers who could practice breathing techniques, this was an entry permit.

"My bloodline transplantation technique is now ready. Next, I'll perform the transplants on the three brothers: the lion, the tiger, and the leopard."

Li Wei began intensive preparations.

He selected some bloodlines that he considered suitable from his existing bloodline bank and transplanted them into the three brothers.

For them, who don't have a proficiency panel, it's enough for each person to transplant one bloodline; trying to transplant too many will only lead to problems.

Ideally, the three people should each have their own strengths so they can work together effectively.

Taiga is very strong, so let's just let him unleash his full power.

After considering various options, Li Wei ultimately decided to transplant the closest possible bloodline into him.

【Sea Tiger】.

This is a symbol of a second-rate, excellent-quality breathing technique that Li Wei previously used as a material to break through the limits of the Power Breathing Technique.

Sea tigers are tiger-like mammals that live in the ocean. They are enormous, with limbs that have evolved into fins similar to those of mosasaurs, and possess immense strength.

This isn't Li Wei's strongest breathing technique, but it's definitely the most suitable for Taiga, making it virtually impossible for the transplant to fail.

If Taiga could cultivate this breathing technique to the level of the Primal Ancestor, then he would at least be comparable to a mid-level wizard.

In short, Li Wei was determined to start by trying these basic breathing techniques and then gradually pass on the more powerful ones to his subordinates.

This can be considered holding back a skill; if you can't teach your apprentice, you'll starve.

As for Vadah and Simba.

Since Vada's speed has improved, I will teach him the "Lightning Leopard Breathing Technique".

This is a breathing technique of third-rate quality, and it was also the raw material that Li Wei once used to break through limits.

Simba was rather moderate, so Levi simply let him follow the armor-laying path and practice the Iron Crocodile Breathing Technique.

Although the bloodline difference is quite large, there's nothing that can be done about it; none of these fur-bearing beasts are good at defense when it comes to their breathing techniques.

Taiga went out to help Levi with some things, and Levi planned to try out Vada from the Black Panther Clan first.

The young man from the black fur tribe, Vada, looked nervously at Li Wei.

"Vada, do you crave power?"

"Thirsty...longing."

Do you want to experience the meaning of life?

"Master... what do you mean? I don't understand."

"Never mind that. I have a method here that can give you power surpassing other mink, allowing you to embark on the path of cultivation. Do you want to learn it?"

"I want to learn!"

"So decisive? Let me tell you clearly, this method carries certain risks, the price of which is... your life."

"Yes, Master, I want to learn."

"Alright, lie down in the center of that machine. Now, prepare for the baptism of life! Your tomorrow is infinitely bright!"

Li Wei put on his experimental robe.

Vada was the most taciturn and relatively introverted of the three brothers, and Li Wei never expected him to have such courage.

After preparing the bloodline, Li Wei injected it into the bloodline transplant instrument.

Accompanied by incantations and spells, blood-red runes and miniature magic circles flickered on the instrument.

Vada closed his eyes.

Vada's many years of slavery taught him that as an ordinary mink, he had no future.

To survive, one must do something to the high and mighty wizard.

Female furry people can also sell their bodies to get some breathing room.

But for a fur-bearer like him, no one would want him even as a male prostitute.

Now that he has such an opportunity, he naturally wants to seize it.

After bloodline transplantation.

Vada fell into a temporary coma.

Li Wei removed his robes, and after taking necessary precautions, he closed the laboratory door.

"Next, let's see if Vada can succeed. If he can, the experiment will continue."

……

A month later.

Vada successfully survived the month-long rejection period, which means that the bloodline transplant experiment was a success.

Li Wei extracted a portion of Vada's bloodline and placed it within the Lorraine Crystal.

[Black Shadow Panther bloodline 67%, Purple Thunder Panther bloodline 27%, Lightning Panther bloodline 3%...]

Li Wei carefully analyzed these bloodline components.

The Shadow Panther bloodline is the fundamental bloodline of the Vada Black Panther clan, while the Purple Thunder Panther bloodline is the bloodline of the extraordinary creature [Purple Thunder Panther] that Li Wei infused into it.

Within the Purple Thunder Leopard bloodline lies a trace of the Lightning Leopard bloodline.

This is the original bloodline of the Lightning Leopard Breathing Technique.

"Judging from this, it should be a success." Li Wei looked at Vada over there. On the surface, he didn't seem to have changed much from before.

"Vada, how are you feeling right now?" Levi asked.

"Master, I don't seem to feel anything... Wait, no, I feel like my speed is a bit faster." Vada threw a few punches into the air, creating gusts of wind.

"This is because the high-level bloodline I transplanted into you is working. Next, I will teach you a method to strengthen this bloodline through cultivation. It requires the use of appropriate secret medicines. You can study and comprehend it yourself. If you don't understand something, you can ask me."

Li Wei said.

"Thank you, Master! I have no way to repay your kindness, Master, except..."

"Stop! Go and study properly."

Li Wei sent Vada away.

Then, he injected Simba with a ring of the extraordinary creature [Iron-Eating Lizard] bloodline, which contained a trace of [Iron Crocodile] bloodline.

After the bloodline transplantation experiment is successful.

Levi observed that Simba's changes were much greater than Vada's, likely due to the significant differences in their species.

Scales began to grow on Simba's neck.

Regardless, the experiment was a complete success, and Simba, after obtaining the breathing technique, went to practice it as well.

"Argenta, call Taiga over," Li Wei shouted.

Argenta walked in: "Master, Taiga went out to buy materials for you yesterday and hasn't returned yet."

Li Wei's heart skipped a beat: "Where did he go?"

"Rosen's Treasure House, Master, could something have happened to Taiga...? He doesn't usually stay out all night." Argenta said with some worry.

Li Wei has been busy with bloodline modification experiments these past few days and hasn't paid attention to this matter.

"I'm going out for a bit. You all keep an eye on the house. If anything happens, contact Lord Huffman," Levi said.

He stepped out of his house, put on his robe, and quickly headed towards the materials store.

……

Rosen's Treasure Shop is a supplies store run by a third-ring wizard in the Upper Town.

Because the ingredients are relatively complete, Li Wei is a regular customer here.

However, after Taiga and the others came along, he delegated all the chores of buying things to them.

Taiga may look big and burly, but he is actually very meticulous in his work, and Li Wei likes this strong man very much.

As Li Wei stepped into the shop, Alice, the manager of the Treasure Shop, looked at him and said, "Lord Li Wei, it's been a long time."

Alice is not the owner of the Treasure Shop; the real owner is the Third Ring Wizard Rosen. Alice is just an employee who manages the shop.

"Alice, did any Mink come to buy anything from you yesterday?" Levi asked.

"Yes, but I don't have what he wanted to buy here, so I told him to go to another shop," Alice said.

"Where?" Li Wei had a bad feeling.

"7 Days Inn".

……

Li Wei went to the 7 Days Inn, but he didn't find Taiga.

However, he sensed Taiga's presence here.

The golden serpent's tongue stirred restlessly in his mouth as Li Wei gazed in the direction where Taiga had disappeared.

He arrived at a tall tower, where two third-circle wizards were standing guard.

Li Wei gazed at the tower, his face grim.

"Stirring Down Prison"

He sighed.

After spending some money and showing proof of his status as a senior employee of the Apothecary's Tower, Li Wei finally saw Taiga on the first floor of the Stromgarde prison.

Taiga was covered in wounds. He was curled up in a corner, his furry tiger tail wrapped around the bleeding wound on his waist, the blood soaking through his fur.

He gently licked his wounds, like a wounded tiger filled with despair and helplessness.

Upon seeing Li Wei arrive, Taiga raised his head, his face contorted with a ferocious expression, a ferocious expression of grievance.

"Master, I didn't steal anything. How could I dare to steal from the Wizard? I don't even have the courage to look the Wizard in the eye..." Taiga said in a low voice, his voice trembling with tears.

"What did they say you stole?"

"A piece of mithril, only the size of a fingernail... I don't know how it ended up in my hand."

"You should rest and recover in prison. I've already spoken to the cell boss. This is a minor offense. If it weren't for your Mink tribe identity, you wouldn't be in jail for this kind of crime."

"Yes, Master, I really didn't steal anything." Taiga leaned on the railing, his voice trembling.

"I know, who would steal a piece of mithril the size of a fingernail..."

A sinister smile crept across Li Wei's lips as he turned and left.

"A show of force?"

Li Wei gazed at the mansions in the upper district, nestled amidst mountains and water.

"Sigh, here we go again. Can't everyone just live their lives honestly?"

He sighed and left the prison.

Not long after.

He arrived at the Tower of Order.

This is a department under Stromgarde City used to maintain order within the city, and it also serves as the judicial branch.

There's nothing in this world that money can't solve. If there is, it's because you don't have enough money and you need to add more.

Li Wei found the recording tablet at the 7 Days Inn and saw the video recording.

In the video, Taiga had just stepped out of the 7 Days Inn when he was arrested by a team of law enforcement officers who appeared at the door.

He did not resist, but the law enforcement officers beat him up.

Such acts of violent law enforcement are undoubtedly in violation of current laws.

"Seven Days Convenience Store."

……

The night was deep, quiet and enchanting.

Seven Days Convenience Store.

The rest area at the back.

An old wizard in black robes was lying on the bed, looking with satisfaction at the storage bag that the lord had sent over.

He is Miller, the owner of 7 Days Inn and a second-circle wizard.

The dazzling white stones inside blinded him.

"So it really is possible for good things to fall from the sky." Miller's old face lit up with joy.

After finishing his inventory, Miller, who was about to close up shop and go home, saw the second-circle wizard appear on the street.

"We're closed." Miller said irritably, his eyes drooping.

"Old Miller, I have a big business deal. I don't know if you're interested." Levi pulled out a horn of a demon and waved it around.

"The Horn of the Horned Demon?" Miller's expression changed.

The next moment, array flags of the invisible tracking array lit up around the shop.

The terrifying hand, flashing with power runes, ripped through Old Miller's defensive force field and grabbed him by the neck.

The Great Darkness Veil bound old Miller and sent him directly into the Wizard of Oz.

"Gustav, keep an eye on this old man."

Li Wei gazed at the star-studded night sky and deactivated the magic array.

He didn't go home.

Instead, they mingled with the nighttime demon-hunting teams and went outside.

The deep seabed.

Livy released old Miller from the Wizard of Oz.

Old Miller, still shaken, was filled with immense fear.

The person in front of him had instantly broken through his protective force field, leaving him with no power to resist.

This is a third-ring wizard...

"I haven't offended any Third Ring Wizards," Old Miller thought with alarm.

He asked tremblingly, "My lord... what are you going to do? In Stirring City, you can't kill people, especially not a second-circle wizard."

"Did I say I was going to kill you?" Li Wei stretched his limbs, and arcs of electricity flickered at his fingertips like dancing musical notes.

Then, a thunderbird with a wingspan of about one meter appeared.

boom!

The electric current struck old Miller's body, making him feel incredibly numb.

If one is not a body-refining wizard, it is difficult to withstand the Thunderbird's attack without the protection of a defensive force field.

However, old Miller had also learned quite a few passive defensive spells, so he wouldn't be electrocuted.

Moreover, Li Wei had deliberately controlled the power, so he wouldn't electrocute the opponent.

"I heard someone stole a piece of mithril the size of a fingernail from your shop yesterday?" Li Wei asked.

Upon hearing this, old Miller's expression changed.

In an instant, he knew he had been used as a pawn.

"I can't tell you the truth because I've signed a confidentiality agreement. Telling you would mean certain death..."

Old Miller smiled bitterly, "It's too late to regret it now."

"Rex?" Levi asked directly.

Old Miller's expression changed, but he remained silent.

Li Wei already knew the answer.

"Sigh, why did you have to be so greedy for such a small gain? You're so old, wouldn't it be better to enjoy your retirement?"

A snap.

Old Miller was decapitated.

The Armored Scorpion devours souls.

Li Wei's left eye turned gray, and one could vaguely see the silent world filled with ashes within it.

After Old Miller died, he turned into scattered ashes, the last bit of life force still lingering.

Gradually, it gathered into a ball of embers in Li Wei's palm.

He squeezed hard.

The embers dimmed and transformed into a round, bronze coin.

On the coin is a terrifying creature covered in gray feathers, radiating black flames.

It is the ashes of death.

Li Wei took out a small piggy bank.

Inside the piggy bank, there was already a similar coin, but much smaller, and it looked like a coin made of black iron.

"As expected, the stronger the being watched by the Eye of Ash, the greater the embers it generates. The embers generated by a second-ring expert are far more than the embers I generated by killing a first-ring sea beast."

The ability to turn embers into coins was something Li Wei discovered by chance.

He estimated that with this coin, one should be able to communicate with the beings of the Ash World and summon them to fight for him.

So far, Li Wei has discovered that there are two types of coins.

The life force of a single-ring creature can eventually coalesce into an iron ash coin.

The two rings that just existed can be condensed into a copper ash coin.

"interesting."

Li Wei flicked his finger, and the coin went into the piggy bank.

"Sigh, simply tolerating this isn't a solution. At least now it's confirmed that Rex is the mastermind. My previous suspicions weren't wrong."

Li Wei took the items out of Old Miller's storage bag, and after confirming that there were no tracking marks on them, he put them away.

He returned to Stirring City overnight.

He dared not stay outside the city for too long; if Rex found out, he would definitely try to get rid of him.

……

Seven days later.

Old Miller's disappearance was only discovered at the Tower of Order.

The video footage was retrieved, and it was discovered that after a wizard shrouded in a black robe appeared, the image mysteriously disappeared, seemingly due to some kind of shielding formation.

After that, old Miller never appeared again.

A second-circle wizard is someone that law enforcement should investigate.

Shangcheng District.

Rex was looking at the news from Stromgarde City over the past few days.

"Old Miller is missing? Forrest, what happened?" Rex asked.

"My lord, the authorities are still investigating. The murderer is very discreet, and they have now focused their investigation on wizards of the third ring and above in Stromgarde. Even a senior second-ring wizard wouldn't be able to easily take Old Miller away from Stromgarde," Agan said.

Rex looked gloomy.

He felt he knew who the killer was, but he had no proof.

There was a man who, despite not being a third-circle wizard, twice escaped assassination attempts by the killers he sent, one of whom was a genuine third-circle wizard.

This person is Li Wei.

"Interesting. I'll play along." Rex licked his lips.

He will let his opponents know that going against the Thunder Dragon family is an extremely irrational and absurd thing.

In the blink of an eye.

A month has passed.

Before the authorities could even find out who was behind Miller's death.

Within just one month.

In the lower city of Stromgarde, hundreds of civilians and wizards have gone missing!

This has drawn serious attention from the authorities in Stromgarde.

Inside the Wizard's Tower.

Li Wei also had a solemn expression.

"Hundreds of cases in a month, involving both civilians and wizards... Who did it?"

He muttered to himself.

"Damn it, even this Stromgarde doesn't feel safe anymore. Is there any safe place left in this world?"

Li Wei sighed helplessly and hurriedly worked himself to the bone.

……

The year 1050 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of Blazing Fire.

A major event has occurred in the Sea of ​​Stars.

The Beast Warlock and his junior sister, another high-level elemental spirit wizard from the Life School, a senior operator at Rowling's Hut, "Red Mushroom Witch," clashed in a battle of top-tier powerhouses in the Endless Sea.

The reason for the battle was that the Beast Witch wanted to seize a treasure from the Red Mushroom Witch.

The key experiment in Rowling's cabin, that strange "Christmas tree" that escaped the Realm of Life and came to the Endless Sea.

However, what grows on this Christmas tree are all sorts of strangely shaped fruits.

Ultimately, in order to prevent the victorious Beastman from obtaining the fruit from the Christmas tree...

The Red Mushroom Witch used magic to randomly teleport all the fruits to various locations in the vast, endless sea.

Then, the Beast Mad Witch issued a bounty to all the black wizards in the Endless Sea.

"Anyone who finds the Miracle Fruit can come to the Boiling Beast Blood to claim a huge reward."

And everyone finally learned what the unfinished experiment that escaped from Rowling's cottage to the Endless Sea was.

"The Tree of Kabbalah Miracles!"

Legend has it that this "Tree of Miracles" was created by the witch J.K. Rowling using the roots of the Mother Tree of Pandora and the bloodlines of hundreds of powerful creatures, employing her knowledge and technology representing the pinnacle of the life sciences.

What is a miracle?

Even an ordinary person can gain extraordinary power in a short period of time by consuming the "Miracle Fruit" from the Kabbalah Miracle Tree!

Each Miracle Fruit represents a type of miraculous ability.

This miraculous ability can be developed and nurtured, possessing great potential.

When Li Wei heard the news in the Wizard's Tower, his heart skipped a beat.

So, after all this time, that experimental subject still hasn't been brought back to the Realm of Life.

Isn't this just adding to the chaos of our endless sea?

"What miracle fruit? It's clearly a bloodline fruit. It's just that Ms. Rowling has mastered a method to cultivate bloodlines into usable fruits."

"I have to say, no wonder he's the leader of the Life Science School. I wonder how he managed to research such a heaven-defying thing," Li Wei thought enviously.

However, he had no interest in the miracle fruit, because he already had a clear path for advancing his bloodline.

Even if a miracle fruit appeared in front of him right now, he wouldn't take it!

A few days later.

Li Wei had heard that it was in the lower city of Stromgarde.

There was an ordinary young man who received a miraculous fruit that fell from the sky.

He didn't know what it was, but after smelling it, he found it stinky and fishy, ​​and then he fed it to his...dog.

After consuming the Miracle Fruit, the dog was able to speak human language and instantly possessed the combat power of a second-ring wizard. It evaded the pursuit of a group of wizards from the outer city and escaped into the Endless Sea.

For many wizards with average talent and weak abilities, this miracle fruit is their chance to defy fate, and they are naturally extremely envious.

Even some second-tier wizards, and even mid-level wizards, in the central and upper districts were quite interested in this miracle fruit.

In an instant, the massive army of dog chasers surged into the Endless Sea.

This chaotic situation was only brought under control after official intervention.

Meanwhile, in Stromgarde City, people have been going missing every day over the years.

These people were quite random; they could be ordinary people, second-ring wizards, or even third-ring wizards from the upper city, all of whom fell victim to the poison.

In an instant, panic gripped the city of Stirrings.

Li Wei stayed home all day, afraid to go out, and frantically grinded for experience points.

Until this day.

A violent explosion suddenly occurred in the upper city.

Thunder shattered the night sky, and the crackling of electricity echoed throughout the entire city of Rapids.

Li Wei looked out the window toward the inner city where the sound was coming from.

A wizard, bathed in lightning, stood in the void.

His domineering and powerful mental energy swept across the entire city, and he held a phantom thunder spear in his hand.

High above, dark clouds gathered, and lightning bolts leaped and darted through them.

Looking at this terrifying power, Li Wei was deeply shocked.

He had seen this man in a recording of his election speech; this man was Thunder Spear Soret.

A five-ring powerhouse.

"A demon has invaded Stromgarde! Commanders of the fourth rank and above within the city, come immediately to suppress it!" Thunder Spear's voice was like thunder.

A series of powerful figures surrounded the upper city area.

"For a fifth-ring powerhouse to be so cautious, it must be at least a level five demon, or even possibly a level six..."

Li Wei was puzzled.

The Well of the Abyss has been destroyed.

Logically speaking, without the support of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, these abyssal demons should have been wiped out by those powerful figures long ago.

"Could it be..."

Li Wei felt somewhat worried.

That night.

Li Wei dared not focus on his spiritual practice; he was always ready to run away.

If this city of Stromgarde is also breached, then there will be no point in him serving.

The grand formation in the city of Jiliu lit up, and above the sky, the light screen of the formation swirled, with terrifying streams of destructive light flying towards the upper city.

Before long, a beautiful witch created a huge barrier of ice, trapping the demon inside.

With the combined power of the great formation, the demon was annihilated.

Many wizards in the upper city were implicated in this battle.

Li Wei felt fortunate that he lived in the central district.

three days later.

The official announcement has been released.

A level 5 [Formless Demon] possessed a wizard in the outer city and caused so many horrific cases recently.

This formless demon comes from the Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm.

Ms. Lanlong personally went to the center of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm to investigate and discovered...

In a region tens of thousands of miles away from the core of the legendary forbidden technique, at the bottom of the bottomless abyss, there is a small abyssal well that has already been opened up...

"The Abyss uses large Abyss Wells as bait to attract the firepower of legendary forbidden techniques, and converts the energy released by the legendary forbidden techniques into the power to open up smaller Abyss Wells."

This is the final investigation result of Tower of Stars.

The Well of the Abyss was not completely destroyed.

In the deep sea, thousands of miles away from ancient ruins, a new well has been formed.

During this time, countless demons have escaped, and some masters of stealth and concealment have hidden among us.

Yes, the devil is all around us...

"The good news is that small abyssal wells are difficult for demon lords to pass through. The demons that have infiltrated the wizarding world are likely to be mainly demons below level five."

But without a doubt, this completely panicked the wizards in Stromgarde.

They thought that once they had wiped out the remaining remnants of the demons, they could end their military service.

However, it seems that they will not be able to leave Stromgarde City in the short term.

Li Wei had been observing the situation in the outside world.

He accumulated more and more merit points, which he used to exchange for cultivation resources and spells, focusing all his efforts on improving his strength.

If Stromgarde is gone, all the merit points he's accumulated will be meaningless.

Chaos is a time of crisis.

Crisis breeds opportunity.

"Why didn't that Formless Demon kill that old bastard Rex? Truly, evil lives on forever."

Li Wei looked at the final statistics with indignation.

The aftermath of that battle in the Five Rings killed Rex's neighbor.

Rex, that bastard, was completely unharmed.

this time.

Huffman told Levi, Green, and Toman to stay home and make medicine as much as possible.

He had a premonition that an even greater storm might befall Stromgarde.

Miracle Fruit, Abyss Demons, and the power struggles between the Blue Dragon Lady and the Thunder Spear.

These factors have made the situation in Stromgarde City even more complicated.

The year 1050 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of the North Wind.

After taking the meditation potion, Li Wei entered a meditative state.

When he opened his eyes again, a sharp glint flashed in them.

He exhaled and looked at the Klein crystal ball.

【Mental Power: 70】

[Spell Power: 2023]

"I'm a veteran of the Second Ring Road."

"I, old man Li, have made something of myself!"

Li Wei was filled with emotion.

After advancing to the second-ring senior level, he felt that he could use second-ring spells more smoothly than before.

I tried it out, and the casting rhythm and speed were also a bit faster.

Beyond the Second Ring Road, the difference between experienced and ordinary employees is quite significant.

"Aside from the Thunderbird and Copper Armor, which I learned relatively late, my other spells are already at their limit."

"With my current mental strength, mastering six second-circle spells should be about right."

Li Wei learned three defensive spells alone.

With things so chaotic right now, I might even get attacked while walking on the streets of Stromgarde, so I'd better wear more armor.

As he cast his spell, rings of metallic light swirled around him.

Finally, it transformed into a suit of armor resembling a knight's heavy armor, protecting Livy.

The bronze-colored armor gleamed with a heavy luster, showcasing its powerful defensive capabilities.

"I learn the Bronze School spells much faster than the Thunder School. Once my mental strength advances further, I'll learn Blade Storm. That way, I can barely master the sword control technique."

Bladestorm is a second-level attack spell of the Bronze School that gathers metal elements to form terrifying blades.

Then, relying on his powerful mental strength, he launched these swords out, tearing the enemy to pieces.

Similar to the Wizarding version of "All Swords Return to One".

The investigation into old Miller's death also came out, and it was ultimately confirmed that it was the work of the Faceless Demon.

Li Wei silently mourned for the formless demon.

"I'm sorry, Brother Demon."

Although I've advanced to the second level and become a senior player.

Li Wei, however, did not slack off in the slightest.

His strength is far from enough!

Stromgarde is no longer as safe as it used to be.

Especially with Rex watching closely.

He slowed down his earning pace of merit points slightly; no matter how many he earned, Li Wei wouldn't have time to process them all.

Li Wei has now basically achieved the freedom to spend his merit points, as long as he doesn't squander them.

Moreover, he still had over 100,000 taels of silver in his storage bag.

Nowadays, the path of wizardry is reduced to the long-term goal of reaching the third ring.

Li Wei focused his attention on chivalry.

Because of the difference in the quality of the secret medicine, the breathing technique with the best chance of breaking through to the thirteenth level is not Red Lotus, but Blood Beast.

Li Wei then pressed on with his work, continuing to work himself to the bone.

The end of the winter month.

Taiga has been released from prison.

With Levi's help and Huffman's connections, he wasn't mistreated much in prison.

Li Wei knew that Taiga's imprisonment was a warning from Rex to him.

Rex wanted Levi to know that in this Stromgarde, he could easily send someone to prison.

In the midst of his busy schedule, Li Wei transplanted the Sea Tiger bloodline into Taiga.

From then on, all four of his mink warriors embarked on the path of knighthood under his guidance.

Among them, Argenta has made the fastest progress and is now a high-ranking knight, having elevated a breathing technique that was otherwise impossible to cultivate to this level.

The silver frost wolf bloodline within her was so concentrated that Li Wei estimated it was enough for her to cultivate to at least the Great Knight realm.

After that, you'll probably need a blood limit potion.

However, Li Wei has no time to research this potion right now.

The year 1051 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Primordial Moon.

With the conclusion of the election.

To Li Wei's surprise, the one elected as commander-in-chief was not the Thunder Spear, who had been highly anticipated.

Instead, it was Ms. Blue Dragon.

Li Wei felt a sense of inexplicable relief.

Meanwhile, they were working day and night, burning the midnight oil.

Li Wei has finally mastered the Blood Beast Breathing Technique to level thirteen.
