Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 216 New Changes to the Panel! Crimson Dragon Breathing Technique! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Liufeng City.

The city of the Waum family was in ruins.

The old golden lion, Chief Vaum, and another third-ring wizard all looked exhausted.

After several days of fierce fighting, relying on their numerical advantage and large formation, they barely managed to withstand the enemy's attack.

This attack was unusual.

The enemy is a renowned senior third-circle wizard who has mastered many third-circle spells and is likely a core member of the Black Sun organization.

When the enemy withdrew, they looked hurried, as if something big had happened.

Old Golden Lion didn't know why the enemy was in such a hurry to retreat, but in any case, it was a good thing, giving them a chance to catch their breath.

"Chief Vaum, we have to retreat. We really did fall for Lehman's trap. He has most likely already taken Lion King City. But no matter what the outcome, our Golden Lion family must not abandon Lion King City!" Leon said.

Dinos, bathed in blood, was panting heavily nearby.

After this fierce battle, he was covered in wounds. If it weren't for the legendary knight's physique, he would have given up long ago.

"Let's go, Father. Although Lord Levi is strong, he is no match for Lehman. We must go back to save our city and save Levi," Dinos said.

"Old Golden Lion, I will return with you to save Lion King City," said Chief Waum.

He had witnessed the Golden Lion family's righteousness.

Now that his family's crisis has been temporarily resolved, he cannot be ungrateful.

"Thank you. Now that this calamity is over, the friendship between our two families will surely be strengthened! And that damned Aisidi family will surely disappear from the Yellow Earth Continent!" After saying this, the old Golden Lion led his army back quickly.

Emperor Mu followed behind the army, his face beaming with excitement.

He felt that he was about to break free from the shackles of legend.

"Indeed, battle is the best teacher. My fusion with the Golden Spine has become even stronger. The Golden Spine is too powerful," Mu Di muttered to himself.

Within his body lurked a spine that appeared to be cast in gold, with branches on both sides resembling a centipede with a hundred legs.

Emperor Mu could sense the life and energy fluctuations within the golden spine.

As his spine undulated, wisps of pale golden blood flowed into Emperor Mu's veins, merging with him.

Even now, Emperor Mu still doesn't know what this so-called "golden spine" is.

After arriving in the wizarding world, he relied on the knowledge of the Life School that he had exchanged and his own long-term use of it.

He felt that the spine might not be the remains of the Golden Knight Grek... but rather an independent life form.

He suspected that he might be parasitized by the golden spine.

Not only himself, but the entire Grek family was able to produce golden blood because they were parasitized by the golden spine.

Because this golden spine seems to contain a mysterious power.

The golden blood he used to practice the Golden Horn Breathing Technique also came from his golden spine.

Now, in addition to the legendary blood of the Holy Ape that was already part of his body, Emperor Mu also possesses the blood of the Holy Ape.

The newly born golden blood seems to have the potential to surpass others.

He didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.

All he knew was that his strength was constantly increasing because of the addition of the spine.

For someone with very poor wizarding talent, this was the only way for him to catch up with the leader.

Emperor Mu was a chosen one among men in the mortal world. Although he had struggled at the bottom of the wizarding world for decades, he still possessed pride.

"Since I've chosen this path, even if it's wrong, I'll stick to it to the end. Without a strong backbone, I wouldn't be where I am today."

The branches on both sides of Emperor Mu's spine made a rustling friction sound, and they emerged from behind Emperor Mu and silently disappeared back into him.

When the old golden lion arrived at Lion King City with his large entourage, they were stunned.

"Why is Lion King City so quiet? It doesn't look like a battle has taken place at all. There must be a trap," Chief Wamu said.

"Indeed, Lehman hates Lion King City to the core. During this time when we are delayed, he certainly will not give up the opportunity to attack Lion King City," the old golden lion said doubtfully.

But when their senses probed Lion King City, they found it completely peaceful; the streets and buildings showed no signs of fighting.

Even the second-circle wizards stationed in Lion King City seemed to be cultivating, showing no signs of having just fought a great battle.

"Could it be that Lehman didn't come?" Old Golden Lion wondered.

Finally, they entered the city and saw Li Wei in the courtyard instructing the white wolf girl on swordsmanship.

"Lord Levi? Lehman didn't come?" Old Golden Lion asked.

"Lehman Brothers is here?" Levi looked around.

"That's strange. It seems I was overthinking it." Old Golden Lion breathed a sigh of relief, looking much more relaxed.

"Lord Leon, I wonder if the previous promise is still valid?" Levi suddenly asked, somewhat embarrassed.

Leon nodded and said, "Of course it works. The Joestar family always pays its debts. Lord Levi, please feel free to tell me what you need."

"Alright, I'll visit Lord Leon another day. I won't bother you now. You've just finished a great battle and need to rest and recuperate."

Li Wei smiled and said.

Thank you!

Leon left with his men and returned to the Golden Lion Castle.

Chief Waum also rushed back to his own clan.

"Captain, did Lehman really not come?" Mudi asked after everyone had left.

"What's wrong? You don't actually think I can beat a third-ring wizard, do you?"

Emperor Mu thought to himself, "That makes sense."

If the leader can transcend major realms and defeat a third-ring wizard, his worldview will likely collapse.

There's no way a second-ring wizard could defeat a third-ring wizard.

Even if the leader breaks through the legendary barrier, he can only be compared to a second-circle wizard.

To think that one could defeat a third-ring wizard by relying on knightly cultivation... Mu Di dared not imagine it.

Li Wei was too kind; he couldn't bear to completely shatter Emperor Mu's last hope.

This guy still clings to the fantasy of catching up with Levi.

Emperor Mu left, thinking that he should go into seclusion this time and try to break through to the realm above the legendary level in one go.

Li Wei called this state of being "thirst for blood".

At that time, he should have been able to fight Li Wei.

Li Wei watched Emperor Mu's departing figure.

With his level of understanding, he could naturally tell that Emperor Mu's current cultivation level should be at the peak of the legendary or Blood Awakening Knight realm.

"However, that golden spine is rather strange... Oh well, it's Emperor Mu's own good fortune, it's better than nothing."

For Mu'di, he had no other choice.

Li Wei no longer worries about others.

He used his spiritual power to enter the world of Alice's Ring.

In an open space, the Silverfrost Ice Ape sat alone, surrounded by a group of extraordinary creatures.

Seeing that the guy was alright, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

He collected all the Taishi he had obtained from the wizards of the Lehman and Eshidi families, totaling 100,000 Taishi.

"They're pretty poor. All these people combined only amount to a quarter of Rex."

Li Wei thought to himself.

However, this is understandable, as Lehman Brothers has been at war with the two major families for years, and its military spending has been substantial.

If he hadn't seized a lot of resources from smaller wizarding families in the early stages, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for long.

Controlled by the blood of the abyss, Rayman is gradually descending into the abyss, losing his mind and becoming a killing machine.

Fortunately, the compassionate and merciful Celestial Venerable Li Wei successfully delivered Lehman to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

"I actually wiped out the patriarch of one of the three major families."

Li Wei was deeply moved.

Besides the Taishi, there were some other gains as well. All together, Li Wei estimated that they were worth quite a bit of money.

Li Wei took out his specially made piggy bank and put the silver coin that Lehman had transformed into into it.

"Two silver coins, two copper coins, and some iron coins. Let's see what we can summon first..."

So far, Li Wei has not used the Ember Call skill.

"Let's try using iron coins first."

As the power of death surged from the bloodline seed, it flowed throughout Li Wei's body.

Li Wei's left eye turned a dull gray again.

Holding the iron coin in his hand, he returned to that world of ashes.

However, this time, the world of ashes seems different from before; it feels more real...

He looked out at the wizard's tower where he lived, where ashes were falling everywhere and covering the ground.

The same applies to Lion City outside.

A hazy sky, billions of falling ashes, scattered bonfires in the city, and a gray bay covered in ashes.

In this vast, desolate, and tranquil wilderness, deathly stillness is the only dominant theme.

Li Wei looked at his body, which was no different from before. He tried to open the storage ring again and found that the ordinary rings that could hold inanimate objects could be opened, but those that could hold living things, whether it was the Alice Ring or the Wizard of Oz, did not react at all.

"The World of Ashes, a world devoid of life..."

Li Wei held the iron coin, brimming with vitality, in his hand.

He wandered through this desolate city filled with ashes.

Until he encountered a creature that looked like a wild dog in a corner of the city.

"Is there something alive?"

Li Wei was puzzled.

Now, he was almost certain that the Ash World... seemed to be a real world.

This world seems to be intricately connected to the real world he lives in.

And someone like myself, possessing the power of death and ashes, can enter it.

The creature before them, resembling a wild dog, seemed to be composed entirely of ash, devoid of any life, yet it could move like a living thing, its dark, deep-set eyes gleaming with an eerie light.

Suddenly, the wild dog opened its mouth, and endless black hair gushed out, wet, sticky, and emitting a foul odor. A woman's face emerged from the hair, revealing a smile.

"I'm so hungry...so hungry...hungry"

The woman opened her mouth, making a hoarse, strange sound. She was upside down, her arms hanging down, as she emerged from the wild dog's mouth, looking up at Li Wei in a bizarre posture comparable to that of an oddball.

"What ugly thing?"

Li Wei was startled, and he immediately unleashed a powerful fireball.

"Aaaaaah!"

Flames splattered on the woman's face, searing her, and she let out a painful scream before it abruptly stopped.

"I'm so hungry...so hungry..."

She repeated these meaningless words.

The fireball spell did not harm her.

A thought struck Li Wei. He looked at the towering dragon of death on his iron coin. The power of death surged from his body, turning into black flames, and ashes flew in the firelight.

This force swept over and completely shattered the strange woman's face.

"I'm so hungry..."

This time, the woman disappeared completely.

Only a gray crystal remained in place, surrounded by dust.

Li Wei's expression was solemn.

"The power of death can subdue the creatures of the Ash World."

"I just couldn't communicate with that creature properly. How am I supposed to summon it with my iron coin?" Li Wei thought to himself, feeling frustrated.

Li Wei looked at the crystal core on the ground. He had a feeling that the crystal core was probably useful, but he did not pick it up.

The world of ashes is eerie, so it's best not to carry anything with you when you first arrive.

If it weren't for the fact that the spider sense hasn't given any warnings of danger so far, Li Wei would have left long ago.

He had a feeling that, possessing the power of death, he should be able to leave this world at any time.

Livy wandered through the Lion City.

He looked toward the Golden Lion Castle.

This magnificent structure is exactly the same as the one in the real world, except that it is more dilapidated, has a sense of age, and is covered in ashes.

Inside the castle, there were two bonfires burning brightly. Judging from their positions, they seemed to belong to the old Golden Lion and another third-ring expert from the family.

"These campfires are the flames of life from the creatures of the real world. The stronger they are, the greater their vitality, and the brighter their campfires."

Li Wei merely gazed at the Golden Lion Castle from afar, without approaching it.

When he tried to get closer, his hair stood on end; his spider-sensor had triggered an alarm.

"There's a terrifying presence in the castle, seemingly near those two campfires... This world is truly eerie. Let's quickly try out our summoning skills and then retreat."

"Judging from the things on my body, I must have arrived in the world of ashes in my physical body, not in my consciousness."

"I wonder if the people from the original world can see me now?" Li Wei suddenly fell into deep thought.

Currently, all the inanimate objects, such as buildings, from his original world have appeared in the Ash World.

And those living beings are like campfires or embers adorning the world of ashes.

Li Wei remembered that next door lived a wizard whose time was drawing to a close.

Now, inside his wizard's tower, the campfire seems to be dying down...

After wandering the city for an unknown period of time, Li Wei used the power of the dead to kill many strange beings who were hostile to him, which he called "ash monsters".

After testing, he found that none of his various methods, whether magic or ordinary physical attacks, could effectively damage these ash monsters. These attacks were often weak or had no effect at all.

Only the power of death from the Death Breathing Technique can completely kill these monsters.

Something that can appear on a coin is indeed extraordinary.

After killing many Ash Monsters, Li Wei finally encountered a seemingly normal being in a small village on the outskirts of Lion King City.

He was a swordsman dressed in armor, leaning alone under a large windmill.

The swordsman's sword lay planted beside him. He rested his chin on his hand, gazing ahead as if deep in thought.

Li Wei's spider-sense worked perfectly, so he asked, "Excuse me, where is this place?"

The swordsman raised his head and met Li Wei's gaze.

He seemed to have been silent for a long time. After a moment of silence, he said somewhat awkwardly, "This is Windmill Village, outsider."

Li Wei noticed that the other person also had gray eyes.

Could it be that, like me, he is also a possessor of the power of death? I unintentionally came to this world of ashes.

Or is this the "ash creature" mentioned in Ember's Call?

Windmill Village, it seems, does not exist in the real world.

Of course, it is also possible that it once existed, but was buried by the dust of the original world history, and then appeared in the world of ashes.

Li Wei tried to take out an iron coin, while at the same time, the power of death within his body circulated throughout his body, ready to make a move at any moment.

If this person becomes hostile towards you, the power of death will erupt and annihilate them.

So far, apart from the danger posed by the Golden Lion Castle.

None of the ash monsters that Li Wei encountered were his match.

It can be basically concluded that the power of death has a great restraining effect on the existence of the Ash World.

"Outsider, hiring the strongest gray swordsman in Windmill Village, one iron coin won't be enough." The swordsman smiled and shook his head, without making a move.

Li Wei tentatively took out two iron coins.

"Outsider, stop hiding your money. Hand over whatever you have," the swordsman said with a smile.

Li Wei hesitated for a moment, then took out all two copper coins and two silver coins.

The swordsman nodded and said, "One silver coin for one attack."

At this moment, Li Wei laughed and asked, "How do I know if you're worth the price?"

Just kidding, it takes the life force of a third-ring wizard to synthesize a single silver coin. This thing isn't exactly cheap.

"I see you're carrying a sword too, so you must be a swordsman. How about we spar a bit? I'll show you that hiring Owens, the Grey Swordsman from Windmill Village, for just one silver coin is definitely worth it!"

The swordsman who called himself Owens stood up, his rusty armor making a scraping sound. He seemed to have been sitting there for a long time, which had caused his armor to rust.

He drew his rusty greatsword and then spoke.

"Outsider, standing before you is:"

"The strongest in Windmill Village, Baron Megan's left hand, the Fallen One-Hundred-Slasher, the Silver Swordsman of the Third Stage—Owens, my sword, named: Unyielding Ginza."

A silver light emerged from the rusty greatsword in Owens's hand, the rust faded, revealing the original appearance of the Unyielding Silver Tower, which was carved with a majestic silver lion.

A mysterious gray power emanated from him, and at that moment, a different kind of light seemed to flicker in his eyes.

This is a born swordsman!

Li Wei knew this in his heart.

In the wizarding world, he had never seen such a powerful swordsman besides himself.

Li Wei had many questions about the Ash World, and he felt that Owens was a good starting point.

Moreover, it seems that Owens, like himself, is also following a similar extraordinary path as a knight.

However, judging from Li Wei's perception, Owens' strength is definitely much greater than that of the legendary knight.

Perhaps, I can learn a wider path of chivalry from this person.

He drew Frostmourne and, with equally childish swagger, said, "Standing before you is:

"The ultimate knight, a nobody, my sword, its name is Frostmourne!"

"Outsider, take this!"

Owens was surrounded by bursts of gray energy, and he transformed into a gray beam of light, while the Unyielding Silver Throne shone with silver light, making them seem out of place in this world of ashes.

The silver light tore through the gray space and clashed with Li Wei.

Crackling and popping!

Two sword masters engaged in a swordsmanship contest on an open field outside Windmill Village.

As soon as he clashed with Levi, Owens knew he had met a formidable opponent.

Since awakening the power of the Flame and gradually becoming a Grey Swordsman, he has never encountered such an opponent near Windmill Village.

The opponent's swordsmanship was either wide and sweeping with unpredictable force, or like a raging storm, annihilating everything and giving no chance to breathe.

Li Wei was also shocked.

He never expected that in a pure swordsmanship battle, he, who had mastered the max-level Ash Cross Slash and Golden Cross Slash, would actually encounter a swordsman whose swordsmanship was on par with his own.

The opponent clearly did not possess the bloodline power of a knight, but rather a power that Li Wei had never seen before.

He knew that he might have unintentionally entered a new world that even wizards might not have discovered.

At least based on Li Wei's current knowledge of wizarding, he had never heard of terms like "Ash World" or "Ash Swordsman".

Of course, it's also possible that Li Wei's understanding was too limited and his knowledge too shallow.

In short, this world should be unfamiliar to most wizards, a place they have never set foot in.

The battle lasted a long time.

Night fell on the world of ash, the hazy sky turned pitch black, and the last glimmer of light vanished into the horizon.

After countless rounds, Li Wei, who possessed the Twelfth-Rank Silver Mountain Dragon and the Maya Breathing Technique, ultimately prevailed due to superior endurance.

Defeat this powerful gray swordsman.

The gray swordsman named Owens, leaning on his sword with both hands, was panting heavily. His face was full of surprise, and he clearly couldn't believe it.

"Although you are not the first outsider I have ever met, you are the strongest outsider I have ever met. No wonder you can take out such precious silver coins."

Forget it, it seems you wouldn't even consider my abilities. You should leave; it looks like I'm not capable of earning these silver coins.

"Terrible things roam this world at night. You're a stranger; it'll be hard for you to get through the night. Hurry back home."

Owens was somewhat discouraged. He sat down again, leaning against the windmill, like a statue, motionless through the ages.

"If I give you this silver coin, will you come with me and leave this place?" Li Wei asked.

"Yes, I once followed a stranger and briefly saw their world. It was so beautiful, colorful, and full of life. I never dared to dream of such a place."

Owens said that he seemed to be recalling the past, his face filled with melancholy and deep emotion.

"Then I'll give you a copper coin. May I ask you some questions?" Although Li Wei had won, he showed no arrogance whatsoever. He still smiled kindly.

"Just for asking a few questions, you want a copper coin? Are you trying to scam me?" Owens asked.

Li Wei tossed a copper coin over, which Owens caught. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Ask away. I'll tell you everything I know."

Li Wei thought to himself, "It seems that copper coins have considerable purchasing power."

"Where am I?"

"Windmill Village, didn't I already tell you?"

"I'm asking, where is this world, or rather, where is this plane of existence?"

"I don't know... I grew up in Windmill Village. I only learned about the places outside Windmill Village when I went to war with Baron Megan. There are many dangerous monsters outside the village, and the adults don't let us go out..."

"You should know what that city over there is called, right?" Li Wei asked, pointing to Lion King City.

"Oh, that's Megan City, Baron Megan's city. It's just that it's been taken over by monsters called 'Corrupted.' The city is full of monsters, and those guys are really hard to kill and extremely troublesome," Owens said.

"Megan City...it should be Lion King City, right? The 'Death' he mentioned must be those strange things I killed. It seems that even the natives of this world have a hard time killing those ghostly things." Levi's thoughts raced.

"You say I'm from out of town, have you met any other out-of-towners who are similar to me?" Li Wei asked.

"I saw him a long, long time ago. I was fighting a war back then. I think the stranger was called Ash Knight."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei's heart stirred.

This world may be more complex than he imagined.

Not only can one enter the realm of the unbelievers in the wizarding world, but one can also enter from the human world.

It's even possible that beings from other multiple dimensions could also set foot here.

One way to get here is by using the power of ash.

However, Li Wei's Ash Power had already merged with the Phoenix Power into Death Ash Power.

The Ash Knight—that was Hogger's ancestor, a legendary knight of the Eastern Empire. I never imagined he'd been here before.

"Where did the Ash Knight go?"

"I don't know. He has about the same strength as you, but he's much weaker," Owens said.

"What are those gray crystal cores that fell to the ground after the dead died?" Li Wei asked.

Upon hearing this, Owens took out a rough cloth bag and carefully opened it.

A crystal core appeared in Owens' palm.

"This is a Fallen Crystal. When some of the corrupted are killed, their power, with ashes as its core, condenses together and becomes a Fallen Crystal. Fallen Crystals can be used for cultivation. I can demonstrate it for you."

Owens held a gray crystal core in his hand and chanted a complex incantation. Streams of gray energy slowly flowed into Owens' body.

"However, it seems that only we can cultivate. I'm not sure if you outsiders can use it," Owens said.

Li Wei nodded: "Then what use is this copper coin to you?"

"This is the Coin of Life. We Gray Swordsmen need this to break through to higher levels. The Coin of Life can also be used for cultivation, and its effect is better than that of the Fallen Crystal. It's just a pity that there are too few Coins of Life in our world. They are basically all passed down from ancient times."

"I see, thank you for clearing up my confusion. Can you come back to my world with me now?" Li Wei asked.

It seems that Owens is used to seeing outsiders like Levi; it appears that many outsiders have been here before.

"Yes, I can use the Coin of Life to reshape my body and briefly descend into your world. Once the Coin of Life is burned out, I will automatically return. I cannot escape this world," Owens said.

After communicating with Owens, Li Wei learned that the better the Ash Coins he used, the stronger Owens would be after his arrival.

A single silver coin would be enough for Owens to descend upon his world with two-thirds of his power.

If it's a better gold coin, then the complete form can descend.

"Do I have to come to this world in person every time I summon you?"

Before leaving, Li Wei asked.

The world of ashes is too bizarre; he doesn't want to come anymore.

"Of course not. You only need to hold the Coin of Life and recite my sword name and true name: Unyielding Ginza Owens. Then I can descend."

Owens said, a hint of expectation in his eyes, as if he too longed to see the outside world again.

Li Wei nodded, then smiled and waved, saying, "Goodbye, the strongest swordsman of Windmill Village."

"Goodbye, stranger. Feel free to call me anytime you have the chance. I'm quite free, so don't worry about bothering me," Owens said, leaning against the windmill and waving.

Li Wei's figure turned into ashes and vanished before Owens' eyes.

"The outside world..."

He muttered to himself, his mood low.

……

Lion City.

Inside the Wizard's Tower.

Li Wei opened his eyes and looked at the mansion, which seemed normal, and the Mink Tribe members training outside.

"Argenta!" Levi called out.

"Master, I'm here." Argenta hurriedly ran over.

"Did I do anything unusual just now?" Levi asked, leaving Argenta completely confused.

"Master, I don't know. You seemed to be inside the wizard's tower just now and didn't come out..." Argenta scratched her head, somewhat puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Li Wei understood.

Since entering the Ash World within the Wizard's Tower, I have stepped into a different world that is related to my original world, but not intersecting with it.

So even though he was wandering around Lion City in the Ash World, he wouldn't be seen by the people of that world.

"That's alright, but that world of ashes is too bizarre. If it weren't for the experiment of the Call of the Embers, I really wouldn't want to stay there for even a moment longer," Li Wei muttered to himself.

Then, he held a very ordinary iron coin in his hand.

"The Unyielding Ginza Owens!"

then.

The iron coin in Li Wei's hand began to burn like incense, and white smoke swirled around the wizard tower.

Then, the smoke gradually condensed and turned into a tiny person who was only 1.5 meters tall.

It was Owens, whom I had just parted ways with.

"I say, stranger, can't you just summon me with a silver coin?" Owens said with a helpless smile.

He looked at his small frame; even his greatsword was taller than him.

"I'm just doing an experiment. You can go back when the time is up," Li Wei said with a smile.

He had a backup plan, since he didn't know Owens' true nature yet. If Owens ended up harming him or causing trouble for the wizarding world, it wouldn't be the outcome Levi wanted.

As long as it's confirmed that Ember Call is usable, that's fine.

During this time, Li Wei asked Owens some more questions.

Owens curiously observed the outside world from inside the wizard tower, and finally, reluctantly, turned to ashes and left.

"Now we have another trump card. Owens' strength is comparable to my normal knight level. If he goes all out, he might have the combat power of a third ring."

"Next, let's keep grinding and advance to the third ring as soon as possible."

The next day.

Livy went to the Golden Lion Castle and made his request.

That is, the hope is to replicate the "spiritual power" knowledge of the Golden Lion family.

The Joestar family always repays their debts, and the old Golden Lion kept his promise, agreeing to Levi's request.

However, Li Wei was not allowed to pass it on to others, and both parties signed a confidentiality agreement.

In this way, Li Wei obtained invaluable knowledge; if he were to buy it, it would cost at least 100,000 taels of silver.

However, he secretly saved the Golden Lion family, only the old Golden Lion was unaware of it, so Li Wei took the knowledge without any qualms.

Having acquired the knowledge of spiritual energy transformation and also the recipe for the Lake Fairy's potion, Li Wei only needs to reach 100 points of spiritual energy and obtain the scales of the Lake Naga to advance to the third ring.

He also had the Golden Lion family investigate the whereabouts of the Lake Naga.

Once any clues are found, Li Wei will be notified immediately.

In this way, Li Wei was able to cultivate in Lion King City with peace of mind.

Despite the Ashdie family's best efforts to conceal it, news of Lehman's death soon spread.

After confirming that the news was basically true, the old Golden Lion and Chief Waum decisively sent troops to the Ashdi family and annihilated all the remaining members.

Thus, the three great families of the Yellow Earth Continent became two great families.

The two families have completed the division of the Ashdie family's assets.

Li Wei did not participate in the subsequent revelry.

at the same time.

In Stromgarde, the conflict between Lady Blue Dragon and Thunderspear continues.

Many third-ring wizards perished in this undeserved calamity, not to mention lower-ranking wizards.

This is also a good thing for Li Wei.

The military is currently preoccupied with other matters, allowing him to grow rapidly.

He felt that the fact that he could remain at large for so long was most likely related to Huffman.

Livy will never forget Huffman's kindness.

……

Two years have passed in a flash.

The year 1059 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Primordial Moon.

The twenty-third year of the Great Expedition.

Unbeknownst to many, the Great Expedition of the Five Realms has been going on for decades.

But the war was far from over.

This allowed Livy to witness the cruelty and protracted nature of civilizational warfare.

The same applies to the civil war between wizards in the Endless Sea and other realms of the unbelievers.

confusion.

It is the only dominant theme of this era.

However, without the Aisidi family, the Yellow Earth Continent finally enjoyed a period of peace.

Aside from a few small-scale dark wizard organizations, there haven't been any large dark wizard organizations above the third ring level.

Overall, the white wizard's power still far surpasses that of the black wizard.

However, due to the impact of the Great Crusade and the unexpected nature of this war between the white and black wizards, the white wizards were somewhat put on the defensive.

Another very important reason is that dark wizards act without restraint or limits, making it easier for them to unleash their power.

In recent years, there have been several incidents where mortal communities in the wizarding world have been wiped out by dark wizards who practice evil magic.

Rayman's death gave the White Wizards of District 7 a chance to regroup. After resting, under the coordination of the authorities, they began to support the White Wizard forces in other districts.

Sixty-nine-year-old Li Wei lives a secluded life, quietly working himself to the bone.

In two years, his mental strength reached 91 points and his magical power reached 2700 points, getting closer and closer to the upper limit of a second-circle wizard.

However, no clues have been found regarding Lake Naga. Fortunately, Li Wei still has a few years, so he's not in a hurry.

He has mastered all the spells to their limits and has begun actively researching new original spells.

He wants to synthesize several spells similar to the Extreme Ice Finger, and then eventually fuse them into his own S-rank third-circle spell.

But in the way of chivalry.

Through Li Wei's diligent collection.

Inside the Alice Ring, his extraordinary bloodline reservoir was quite substantial.

Gustav's blood and Triceratops' horn are used for the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique. The Fire-Stealing Dragon Bird is used to practice the Crimson Lotus Breathing Technique.

The Ice Ape and the Mountain Giant practice the Vajra Breathing Technique. The Wind and Thunder Wyvern practice the Silver Mountain Dragon Breathing Technique and the Emerald Dragon Breathing Technique.

The black whale needs whale blood, so it continues to fleece Leviathan, making its cultivation relatively slow.

Other techniques, such as the Death Breathing Technique, also slowed down after the twelfth level due to the lack of Phoenix bloodline.

Overall, however, Li Xiuwei's speed in practicing the Knight Breathing Technique is still quite fast.

Another year has passed.

In Li Wei's subsequent cultivation of breathing techniques, due to the power of the Wind and Thunder Wyvern's blood, the Silver Mountain Dragon Breathing Technique reached the thirteenth level.

After reaching the thirteenth level of the Silver Mountain Dragon, Li Wei's stamina became even more enduring.

Moreover, the electrical current generated by his silver tendons was even more intense. With every move he made, strands of electricity surged around Li Wei, giving him a somewhat low-budget version of the Thunder Spear.

Silver Mountain Dragon Breathing Technique: 13th level (1/400000), Special effects: Mountain Dragon Spine (Level 1), Thunder Remnant.

……

The Mountain Dragon Spine is an advanced form of the Silver Dragon Spine. It is said that the spine of the Silver Mountain Dragon is like a mountain range, continuous and containing a constant source of power.

The "Thunder Remnant" effect likely stems from the fact that the Silver Mountain Dragon is a dragon with an affinity for thunder, resulting in this special effect after its advancement.

This means that, in addition to earth, fire, feng shui, Li Wei also possesses elemental affinity for frost and thunder.

All six major elements of mainstream culture are present!

However, due to the lack of high-level extraordinary eagle bloodline, the Maya Breathing Technique, which is also of the endurance type, is still only at the twelfth level, and there is still a long way to go before reaching the thirteenth level.

Li Wei calmed his mind and continued his cultivation, leaving the outside world's disturbances behind.

one year later.

When Li Wei was seventy years old.

After the Silver Mountain Dragon Breathing Technique, the Emerald Dragon Breathing Technique also surpassed it and entered the thirteenth rank, becoming Li Wei's sixth breathing technique to enter the thirteenth rank.

It must be said that the secret medicine made from the bloodline of a third-ring extraordinary creature is far more effective than that of a lower-level first- or second-ring creature.

At the same time, Li Wei discovered that on the proficiency panel, there was a new option called "[Can be fused]" after Blood Beast Breathing Technique.

Li Wei——————

Blood Beast Breathing Technique: Tier 13 (25799/400000, can be fused)...

Emerald Dragon Breathing Technique: Thirteenth Level (1/400000, can be fused)

……

"The proficiency panel has changed; now you can fuse without reaching the limit?"

"Never mind, merge!"

The Blood Beast Seed and the Emerald Dragon Seed within Li Wei began their fusion battle.

Three days later, Li Wei felt a surge of joy as he saw the crimson dragon at his heart, which looked as if it had been carved from solidified blood.

"The Blood Beasts are gone."

He opened the proficiency panel.

Li Wei——————

Crimson Dragon Breathing Technique: 13th Rank (25799/500000), Special Effects: Crimson Poison Mist (Level 1), Crimson Contract, Hundred Faces and Thousand Appearances, Blood Boiling, Crimson Escape.
