Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 259 Sudden Wealth, The Fruit of the Phoenix! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

The endless sea.

Headquarters of the Pharmacists Association.

Inside the wizard tower of the vice president.

When not conducting research, Triss, dressed in a black pharmacist uniform and wearing a magical artifact resembling glasses, exudes a unique mature charm.

"Let Ania train with Levi and see how an ordinary person can grow through hard work and caution. It's a good thing. With him and Levi around, even ordinary fourth-circle wizards are nothing to fear."

This is also a good opportunity for him and Levi to get along well and become friends, so they can take care of each other on their future wizarding journey.

This was Triss's idea to involve Aeneas in this operation.

Triss was once a wife, but when Aonia was very young, her husband went on a journey to another dimension in search of a breakthrough opportunity. He met with misfortune in that other world and never returned.

Triss has remained single ever since and has not sought a partner.

For a Soul Wizard, a partner is merely a diversion on the lonely path of a wizard. They are insightful, have seen a wider world beyond the wizarding world, and have higher aspirations.

Triss placed Ania in Hades City and had her raised secretly by her subordinates. Once Ania met the requirements, she was arranged to become an external wizard for the Witch's House.

Aeneas's talent was also exceptional. He possessed an affinity for both earth and fire elements, with earth and fire giving rise to bronze, making him well-suited for cultivating the bronze element. Moreover, he also possessed a second special talent, [Blood of Copper]. This granted him an extraordinary affinity for metal elements. With Triss's help, he embarked on the rare path of the bronze element.

And in the seventh district of the outer ring.

Ania took the potion to restore her mental and magical power, preparing for the next round of spellcasting.

He began to understand the significance of his mother's decision to involve him in this operation.

"I am the offspring of two elemental spirit wizards, possessing both dual-elemental affinity and a second talent. From a young age, I have had no worries about resources during my cultivation, so I don't need to waste time searching for resources. Furthermore, I have a fifth-ring wizard butler who provides me with close guidance."

I thought I was a genius for becoming a three-talented, peak-level third-ring wizard at the age of 250, but now I realize that I was just being narrow-minded.

Lord Li Wei comes from that barren land of the mortal realm and was born a knight before turning to become a wizard. Now, after only a little over a hundred years of cultivation, he is already a senior third-ring wizard, a dual cultivator of body refinement and magic, and also an apothecary... and a third-ring alchemical creature. If he hadn't purchased it, he would also be an alchemical wizard.

In him, I saw the shadow of Luther, the Blue Sage. Though of ordinary birth and talent, he possessed great fortune and unwavering perseverance. (Note: In the previous chapter, Luther was the Child of Chaos; I had forgotten about the character settings because I hadn't read them in a while.)

Someone like Lord Li Wei must have endured all the hardships and tribulations of the world to reach his current position... right?

In this respect, I am not as good as him. After all, in this chaotic era, he could only rely on himself. All his achievements today are the result of his own hard work!

Ania, you're not trying hard enough!

At that moment, Aenea felt as if her soul had been elevated.

"Mother, it turns out you saw through all of this all along."

Just by imagining it in her mind, Aonia could come up with a five-million-word inspirational epic novel with Levi as the protagonist.

At that moment, he was deeply moved.

"Third Talent: Pilgrimage to the Copper King!"

Aenea's passion began to ignite.

Behind him appeared a red cave, about ten meters in diameter, radiating endless copper power.

A colossal knight, seemingly cast from bronze, rode a bronze warhorse and wielded a bronze greatsword, charging out.

Then the giant knight charged into the battlefield and stabbed a third-ring wizard to death.

This is Enia's most powerful move.

"So cool." After hearing Ania's telepathic message, Lily and Rose immediately moved aside and witnessed the shocking scene before them.

"Lady Aenea, it seems that the liquefaction of spiritual energy is about to begin." Rose sensed this terrifying power.

"Where did Lord Li Wei go?" Violet noticed that Li Wei had disappeared from the battlefield at some point.

"Lord Levi, I wonder how my move was... Hmm, where is he?" Ania's competitive spirit was piqued, and she wanted to show off in front of Levi.

Suddenly, a strange, eerie laugh came from behind.

"Tsk tsk tsk, three innate spells, all offensive, not a single one defensive. You're too arrogant... I don't know how someone like you has survived this long?"

A black sun stretched across the sky above Aenea.

Third Ring Talent Spell: Black Sun Praise!

Aenea's magical robes glowed, and her three-ring protective field activated.

"Oh no! A dark wizard has used a stealth spell to ambush Ania. He just cast so many spells, can his magical power keep up?" Lily was shocked and worried for Ania.

boom.

Aenea's four-ring protective artifacts withstood the Black Sun's attack unscathed.

This was a gift from his mother, Triss. It could cast a fourth-circle defensive spell to automatically protect its owner when facing a sneak attack. It was an expensive item worth hundreds of thousands of gold in the Hades City market.

"Damn rich people, damn family scions! Damn it, it's worth it to take one of them with me before I die... This endless sea of ​​the future will surely see the rise of an ever-shining black sun! Long live Adam!" His eyes were filled with fanaticism.

The dark wizard's aura surged infinitely, almost reaching the strongest level before the fourth ring.

He knew that facing such an unreasonable wizard with the power of money, today's battle was likely to end badly, so he did not hesitate to burn his own life, turning into a black sun, to make his own strongest voice in the new era!

In an instant, a golden greatsword gleaming with runes tore through the black sun, cleaving the black wizard in two!

"Want to unleash your full power? No way."

Li Wei skillfully took the storage bag and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Only attacking without defending will not last long... No one can defeat the enemy with a single blow forever."

As a fan of the armor-stacking style, Levi couldn't help but comment on Aenea's unbalanced talent and spell choices.

Ania was speechless for a moment, staring blankly at the burly wizard whose full, rounded muscles even surpassed the peaches of witches.

"Thank you, but I can hold it off," Ania couldn't help but stubbornly insist.

Li Wei didn't say anything.

After all, the distribution of spoils is based on the number of people killed.

So he had no time to waste and went back to the witches to help them deal with the other wizards.

"Sigh, with this bunch of rookies, I can't unleash my true potential... I'm better off working alone."

After the battle, Li Wei was covered in storage bags, all of which were held tightly by tentacles conjured from the Golden Witch Poison Body, refusing to let go!

"I'll keep the spoils for now, and we can divide them up after we finish the mission, how about that?" Li Wei said calmly.

"Okay..." Lily said blankly.

Although Li Wei is not as outstanding in temperament as Aonia, and his magic is not as elegant and cool, to be fair, his strength is indeed no less than Aonia's, just as Rose said.

"I'm fine, let's save them first," Ania said calmly, standing beside Levi.

Li Wei demonstrated a few skills, completely stunning the team members.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Li Wei used his communication method with the Green Forest Witches to send a message, waiting for them to open the door.

Not long after.

The gates to the secret realm have opened.

The Green Forest Witch stood there fully armed, clearly worried that something was amiss.

She breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the visitor was indeed Li Wei.

"I am here on the orders of Triss, the vice president of the Pharmacists' Association," Li Wei said.

"Thank you." The Green Forest Witch gave a bitter smile.

Li Wei and his companions entered the secret realm, and the gate closed again.

Upon entering, he saw terrifying black demonic fire spreading across the sky.

"Why do I feel like there are traces of demonic energy... Everything in the Black Sun Tower is so eerie."

Li Wei suspected that the Black Sun Adam's arrogance might be related to the Abyss.

He also saw the increasingly aged Ms. Meryl, as well as Marco, Winnie, and others.

Winnie is still in a coma, while the witch Leah, who has grown up a lot, is taking care of her.

"Hurry up and arrange for people to board the airship. We need to leave here immediately. I suspect the enemy has more than just these third-ring wizards," Li Wei said.

The Rose Witch nodded and led the other team members to begin relocating the people from the secret realm.

"Teacher, let's move to the Starry Sea this time. Ms. Triss has prepared an island for you, and the Green Forest Tower can still be rebuilt."

"Okay, have you heard about the Deep Blue Sky City?" Mylin asked, gazing into the distance.

"I've heard about it. I believe in the strength of the Deep Blue Sage. The Tower Master and the others will be fine."

"I thought so too... I never thought that I, this old man, would be the one to live to the end. Tim is dead, alas..." Mylene sighed as she recalled her departed companions.

Li Wei remained silent and went to Winnie's room.

"Senior, Senior Sister Winnie has been unconscious for quite some time." Lia's eyes were somewhat unfocused; she no longer recognized the old man she once knew.

"You've worked hard, go and rest now." Li Wei secretly gave Liya some medicine and told her to leave.

Lia nodded gratefully, closed the door, and left.

Li Wei looked at Winnie, whose eyes were closed. The senior sister he remembered was still a bit naive, but she didn't seem to have changed much now, except that she had gained some of the charm of time.

Her face was flushed, as if she had a fever. Li Wei placed his hand on Winnie's chest, feeling the intense heat of her chest.

Then, the arm turned into a blood mist and entered it.

Before long, a writhing black flame appeared in his palm.

With a soft "pfft".

The flame was crushed by Li Wei, turning into countless tiny stars.

He injected some medicine into Winnie's small mouth.

"It should be alright now."

Li Wei left the place and watched the crowds busily moving.

"I still remember when you first came here. More than a hundred years have passed since then. Your growth trajectory is something that even the tower master, who had high hopes for you back then, could not have predicted." An old man with white hair came to Li Wei's side. It was none other than Teacher Marco.

Li Wei smiled and said, "Everything is changing."

All personnel were safely accommodated by the team members using airships.

Alice's Ring would also work, but it's Levi's secret, and not just anyone can go in to take refuge except for his servants or those he's very close to.

Moreover, most wizards who are not familiar with Li Wei would not agree to enter someone else's spatial artifact.

"I didn't expect that after all this time, Klaus would still harbor such resentment towards me," the Green Forest Witch said in a low voice beside Levi.

Li Wei thought to himself, "You've cheated on her; it would be a miracle if she didn't resent you."

However, Li Wei was too lazy to meddle in other people's family affairs; he only needed to carry out orders.

The culprit who burned Teacher Tim alive was Master Flame, who was hunted down by Riemann ninety years ago. At that time, he was a senior wizard of the third ring. Nearly a hundred years later, he had entered the fourth ring and came to seek revenge.

"Where is Master Nongyan currently based?" Li Wei asked casually.

"He's still in Hotwind Harbor. I don't recommend you go looking for him. You might have some trump cards, but he's a genuine fourth-circle wizard who has been preparing for this revenge for a century," she said.

"Li Wei, don't go. You're not going to avenge Tim, are you?" Mylene's expression changed as she spoke.

"Teacher, no, I was just asking," Li Wei said with a smile.

"Let Master Nongyan run wild for a few more days. When I return to the human world, I'll take care of him while I'm at it," he thought to himself.

This time, the focus is still on the mission, so he won't be wasting his time.

After leaving the secret realm, the airship sped along, having only traveled for a short while.

Inside the pink airship, Li Wei suddenly felt his hair stand on end.

In an instant, he had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

"Rose, from now on, you all need to focus on piloting the airship," Li Wei suddenly said.

"What's wrong?" Rose asked.

"I suspect the enemy is catching up."

"What? I didn't sense anything. Whether it's true or not, we can't leave you here alone," Rose said.

"Don't worry, don't you know my personality? Would I do something I'm not sure of?" Li Wei said.

On the sea behind the airship, an angry figure was engulfed in flames of fury.

"Lola! You bitch!"

Master Nongyan learned through the soul tablet that all the three-ring wizards he had sent out had been wiped out, and thus knew that someone had come to rescue the Green Forest Witch.

In his haste, he chased after them, even using a precious teleportation scroll in the process.

How can someone be so unlucky?

Crow's rage was so intense that he no longer cared how powerful the enemy was.

He figured that if he didn't kill Laura, he wouldn't be able to calm his mind for meditation in the future.

If this bitch gets away this time, she'll never have another chance.

He has exhausted a century's worth of effort and luck in order to advance to the fourth ring and avenge his grievances.

The sky ahead.

Li Wei's figure appeared. He stood in the void, watching the airship gradually disappear into the distance, and looking at Master Nongyan rushing towards him.

On the airship.

Persuaded by Li Wei, Rose continued on her way.

"Rose? Are we really going to leave him alone? Judging from that terrifying aura, he might be a fourth-circle wizard." Lily felt a pang of pity.

"Yes, I also think it's inappropriate. Let the Green Forest Witch lead the group forward, and the four of us will go help the captain." Violet's expression was solemn.

It's too cruel to leave Li Wei to face a fourth-circle wizard alone!

From the Green Forest Witches, they knew that Master Flame was a true fourth-ring cultivator who had already passed the transition period and was a powerful being whose mental energy had completely liquefied, unlike those who were still in the transition period.

Moreover, after joining the Black Sun, their original ordinary burning magic was transformed into their unique black fire magic with the help of the Black Sun Tower, making them even more vicious than ordinary burning magic wizards.

Ania remained silent, a fighting spirit burning within her: "Is it really that crazy? A third-level environment, fighting against a fourth-level at their peak—even I wouldn't dare do that… He's deliberately acting so nonchalant, just to keep us from worrying, right? I didn't expect him to be so enlightened?"

Ania knew that even the most outstanding individuals would feel nervous and uneasy facing a fourth-ring member from the third ring.

After the intermediate level, each stage is a world of difference, and the gap between them requires many powerful trump cards to narrow.

Therefore, Li Wei's actions led Aynea to have an increasingly higher opinion of him.

To do something you know is impossible requires great courage!

Li Wei was no longer in sight.

"You guys retreat first, I'll go help the captain." He made up his mind and suddenly said.

"What? You're not afraid of dying too?" Lily couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's settled then. I, Aonia, don't like owing favors to others, especially favors that come at the cost of my life." His expression was resolute. He wanted to leave the airship, but was stopped by the Green Forest Witch.

"I'll go. This has something to do with me. You young people have a bright future ahead of you..."

"Stop! Our main mission is to escort you back. If you go, our mission will fail," Rose suddenly shouted. "I'm the vice-captain, I'll go."

She thought that since she was going to die in the nightmare world sooner or later anyway, she might as well be free here and avoid being tormented to death by that terrifying nightmare.

boom!

While everyone was arguing and unable to reach a consensus.

A violent fluctuation came from afar. Although the fluctuation was very weak by the time it reached them, it was still detected by the mental power of these third-ring wizards.

On the sea behind.

Master Nongyan stared at Li Wei, who had blocked one of his fourth-level spells, with a ferocious expression.

"Kid, you might be able to block it once, but I don't believe you can block it a second time!"

Do you think that by sacrificing yourself, you can earn the gratitude of those you protect? You're overthinking it!

"If you want to be a hero, then die."

A black wall of fire, composed of three-ring talent spells, surrounded Master Flame and swept towards Li Wei.

His third-ring spells, once he reaches the fourth ring, are just as powerful as fourth-ring spells. So, including the fourth-ring spells he already possesses, he actually has four fourth-ring spells.

The opponent is only located in the Third Ring Road area; how can we possibly stop them?

Li Wei felt that those people had gone far away, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"All the spoils from these four rings are mine!"

The True Form of the Fiery Dragon!

Crimson Dragon Cuts Through Iron!

boom!

Crimson flames shot skyward around Li Wei's golden armor, forming a wall of fire.

It collided with the black wall of fire, creating a deafening explosion.

He shot forward with explosive speed, his sword energy swirling around the Crimson Dragon Iron Slash.

A thunderous sword strike!

The gray-white sword energy tore through the flames.

Master Nongyan looked horrified.

Flames formed a rotating shield around him.

With a bang.

The fourth ring of defensive force field shattered.

The three-ringed magical artifact he used for self-defense was also knocked away, and cracks began to spread.

He barely escaped with his life.

But then they noticed that Li Wei looked delighted.

After that sword strike, his Annihilation Sword Qi actually leveled up.

Li Wei————

Annihilation Sword Qi: Tier 8 (1/100000), Special Effect: Annihilation Power (Tier 2).

……

"What a pleasant surprise!"

Li Wei swung his sword again.

As power surged into the Crimson Dragon's Iron Slash, the once grayish-white sword energy turned black.

The jet-black sword energy surged and raged. With this swing of the sword, the world changed color, and a hole was torn in the clouds, which were then reflected as dark clouds by the sword energy.

With a single sword strike, the darkest hour arrives!

Four black suns appeared around Master Nongyan, one above, one below, and one to the left and right.

Four black beams of light converged and headed towards Li Wei.

boom!

The level eight Destruction Sword Qi clashed with Master Flame's strongest spell.

The shockwaves from this earth-shattering battle, a rare sight in the outer sea area, continued to travel far and wide.

Master Nongyan's defenses crumbled instantly under the sword energy, as if made of paper.

His shattered body fell through the air, his eyes filled with fear, but even more so with resentment.

"So the Fourth Ring Road is this fragile after all..."

The monstrous insect Lyon devoured Master Flame's fourth-circle soul, ate its fill, and returned to the fairy house to rest.

Li Wei did not waste the corpse; he converted it into a gold coin while it was still hot.

He now has three gold coins, one each from the Bloodflame Witch, Balzan, and Flame Dancer.

"I gave Owens so many copper and silver coins, and crystals a while ago. This guy should have advanced to the fourth level of Gray Swordsman by now. If he can't advance, I'll just change the contract with someone else, like the strongest person in Windmill Village..." Li Wei put away the gold coins.

Only when Owens reaches level four can the true value of the gold coin be realized.

After killing Crow, Levi rushed to Hot Wind Harbor as quickly as possible.

This is the lair of Master Nongyan.

Now, the boss is dead, and only a few of his men remain here, but not many.

Even a mosquito bite is still a bite.

"Kill them all."

The Golden Voodoo Body clone appeared, transforming into golden light, and wreaked havoc below.

Screams echoed throughout the room.

Not long after, the Golden Voodoo Body flew over, carrying a bunch of storage bags.

"These are all mine."

Li Wei immediately inventoried the spoils inside the storage bags.

Including Klaus, the total is 500,000 shi.

"Not bad. To have this much cash in this outer ring area is good. If we find a place to dispose of those junk magical artifacts and add in all the materials, the actual profit should be around seven or eight hundred thousand."

These do not include the black wizard's spoils from the Giant Tree Secret Realm.

Actually, Nongyan was originally richer than this, but he hired Black-Eyed Raven to kill Riemann.

"However, after this wave, there aren't many black wizards left in the outer ring area that I can deal with... As far as I know, there's only Black-Eyed Raven, who's in the top ten of the Black List. In the inner ring area, there are too many powerful black wizards, so they're not for me to mess with for the time being."

Li Wei left the place satisfied.

The next day.

He caught up with the magic airship, his face pale.

"You're back?"

"The Rose Witch said with delight."

"Yes, it took a lot of effort to get rid of the enemy." Li Wei returned to the airship, drank a bottle of medicine, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"A fourth-circle wizard, that's really impressive. Just a little bit more... and I might not be back." He said, sounding like he still had lingering fear.

Aonia was shocked to see Levi return.

To face a fourth-circle wizard head-on and return safely—such courage certainly requires corresponding strength.

"Captain, I've gone into seclusion after returning to Hades City. You can divide the spoils among yourselves." Encouraged by Levi, Ania resolved to begin her seclusion as well, liquefying her spiritual energy and breaking through to the fourth ring!

Without a doubt, Li Wei's contribution to this operation was greater than that of all of them combined, so he felt embarrassed to distribute the spoils.

Moreover, Li Wei risked his life to save them; such a righteous and courageous captain is worth giving up all of this for.

"Go into seclusion. I'll put your copy in your mailbox. Remember to retrieve it. That's settled then," Li Wei said without room for argument.

Although Aonia is mysterious, Li Wei can tell that she must have a powerful background. Since the other party is so sensible, Li Wei will not be stingy.

However, Li Wei never imagined that this taciturn Aonia would be the child of Ms. Triss, that cheerful and beautiful woman.

A warm feeling washed over her. Ania looked at Levi and realized that her mother... really knew how to judge people.

The rest of the journey went smoothly.

A month later, they returned to Hades City.

However, Triss is currently busy at the Apothecary Guild, so the Greenwood Witch did not see her.

However, she had already arranged for someone to meet Li Wei and the others.

The reborn members of the Green Forest Tower were taken to a small island near Hades City, which was Triss's property.

This woman is incredibly wealthy.

In the Starry Sea, every island is worth many times more than those in the outer ring.

Li Wei could afford it, but he felt it was unnecessary. He could return to the Witch's House at any time from Hades City, which would be more convenient for seeking refuge.

"You can continue your cultivation here; I have other matters to attend to."

As they parted, Li Wei said.

"Thank you for your trouble." Mylene smiled wryly.

"Thank you for healing me," Winnie said softly, blushing. While she was unconscious, she felt something warm enter her body and examine her inside and out. Later, she learned that Li Wei had cured her from her unconsciousness.

"You're welcome. I still remember your kindness in guiding me back then," Li Wei said with a sigh.

As people get older, they always start to reminisce.

A hundred years ago, the young knight first entered the wizarding world, and now he has finally made a name for himself.

All of this, while partly due to Li Wei's efforts and caution, is largely inseparable from the control panel.

After all, in the wizarding world, there are many people who are more hardworking and cautious than you, and who are also more talented.

A person's greatest virtue is self-awareness, which enables them to go further in life.

……

After returning to Hades City.

Aenea paid a visit to Livy, expressed her gratitude once again, and then went into seclusion.

His mental strength has reached a perfect 200 points.

This mission made Ania, who had always been a little arrogant, realize that there are always people more capable than you.

He began to see himself as Livy's role model; he wanted his mother to appreciate him in the way she appreciated Livy...

Li Wei finished taking inventory of all the black wizards' spoils.

The price of the Tai stone alone is over 1.2 million.

In the wizarding world, because of the availability of storage space, most wizards like to carry valuables close to their bodies.

Li Wei estimated that this was the entire net worth of those wizards.

Of course, the bulk of this huge sum came from those third-ring black wizards, who were all quite wealthy.

Although Rose and the others were too embarrassed to share the spoils, Li Wei still gave each of the team members 100,000 Tai Shi. Aina, whose contribution was second only to Li Wei, received 200,000 Tai Shi. The remaining 700,000 Tai Shi and other miscellaneous items all went to Li Wei.

One hundred thousand taels of silver was a huge sum for Rose and her friends.

In this way, Li Wei's Tai Shi suddenly reached a staggering 150 million!

He figured that if he could secretly dispose of the undamaged magical artifacts on the black market, he could easily fetch 200 million gold coins.

"I've never been so rich... I feel incredibly relaxed even when I'm breathing. This is what money tastes like."

Li Wei looked at the mountain of Tai stones piled up in the storage space.

In addition, there are some spellbooks, but they all basically require the "Black Sun Meditation Method" from the Black Sun Tower, which is of little use to Li Wei.

These days, he has been sorting out his harvest into different categories.

After disguising themselves, they made their way through many underground black markets in the Starry Sea.

Instead of dealing with it all at once, he would randomly choose a place to deal with it at irregular intervals.

So, a year later...

It wasn't until the year 1119 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the 88th year of the Great Expedition, that these looted items were finally disposed of.

Finally, after Li Weiqing finished counting, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"220 million Tai Shi... Apart from the Fifth Ring Wizard, there should be no more than ten people in Hades City who are richer than me."

The past year has passed in Hades.

Livy's sorcery became increasingly profound.

The second talent spell, Earth Dragon Barrier, has reached the eighth tier, and its defensive power is now comparable to that of the ninth-tier Heavy Water Barrier.

Li Wei also began planning his third innate spell.

"I currently have Fire Dragon Calamity and Earth Dragon Barrier, but these two are not actually the main spells of the Endless Sea. This third spell must be of the ocean school, and it must be of the control type."

In this endless sea, in most places, spells that require the power of water elemental energy are undoubtedly the ones that can be fully unleashed.

"Speaking of which, the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique is almost at the fourteenth level of perfection. I wonder if I can continue to upgrade it, or if I need to break through the limit?" Li Wei looked at the proficiency panel.

The progress of the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique, which possesses both water and earth elements, was mainly hampered by the water element hybrid dragon race, since Gustav was only at the peak level of level two.

Moreover, a year ago, Gustav seemed to be about to break through, and he found a cave at the bottom of the lake in the Alice Ring and began to sleep.

Fortunately, the level 4 [Drilling Dragon Earthworm] that Li Wei had captured in the Ancient Saint Plane was powerful enough to allow the Golden Serpent to continue its advance.

In addition, his proficiency with the Death Breathing Technique has also increased significantly, and he should be able to reach the fourteenth level before Li Wei advances to the fourth ring.

The Nightmare Dragon Breathing Law has reached the thirteenth level.

Li Wei's perception range extended to a radius of a hundred miles, but the greater the distance, the lower the accuracy of his perception.

However, it is still much better than the mental perception of most third-ring wizards.

After the thirteenth rank, the Nightmare Dragon's cultivation slowed down, and the level two Nightmare Crown Lizard could no longer keep up with Li Wei's progress.

"Looks like we'll have to venture into the Nightmare World to hunt even more powerful Nightmare creatures?"

Li Wei felt a little hesitant.

Nightmare Dragon can still cultivate now, but after reaching the fourteenth level, without the secret medicine, Li Wei estimates that he will be unable to make any progress.

"Once I break through to the fourth ring, I'll start exploring the Nightmare World. I'm different from those wizards who enter it using Dream Potions."

Over the past period of time, Li Wei could sense that undercurrents were surging in the wizarding world, and every now and then there would be rumors of meteors falling into the Endless Sea.

Then, regardless of whether it is the key to the Dark Tower or not, it always attracts a bunch of wizards, including fourth-ring, fifth-ring, and even elemental soul wizards.

Whether it was the black wizard or the white wizard, intentionally or unintentionally, the progress of the war began to slow down.

Both sides' leaders began to dispatch more personnel to the vast outer and inner rings of the Endless Sea to search for the Dark Ancient Tower.

The two sides began to focus their competition on the Dark Tower.

Only the lowly underlings who were unaware of the Dark Tower were still fighting fiercely, wasting their energy.

These powerful organizations often possess special astrological skills, which allow them to more accurately pinpoint the location of the key's landing point.

Therefore, Li Wei had no intention of fighting these people for the key.

Firstly, he wasn't that eager for the things inside the Dark Tower. He had his own stats, and he was still young. He was about to advance to the fourth ring, and by then his lifespan would be seven hundred years. With the addition of the Knight's Way, it might be more than seven hundred.

He still has over five hundred years to advance to the fifth ring. After the fifth ring, he has a lifespan of a thousand years. With normal cultivation, he has a great chance to glimpse the Yuanhun realm, it's just a bit slower.

He also learned from Triss that anyone except those of the rank of Grand Wizard or higher could enter the Dark Tower.

This means that even Yuanhun experts can enter. The Dark Ancient Tower is already fraught with danger, and the addition of these Yuanhun experts would only exacerbate the situation.

Li Wei had already foreseen that the wizarding world would be plunged into endless bloodshed because of the Dark Tower.

However, according to Triss, under normal circumstances, once the Soul Wizards enter the Dark Tower, they will not stay in the lower levels of the world.

For them, the things on the first five levels of the Dark Tower are not worth their time and effort. They will rely on their superior strength to enter the sixth level and above in the shortest time to seize the initiative.

It is said that the battlefield of the Yuanhun Wizard is inside.

To date, the highest record recorded by any organization for a Yuanhun Wizard is reaching the ninth level, where they obtained a Sun-level Truth Artifact and a Mythical-level Sacred Herb.

The Fruit of the Phoenix.

It is said that if taken directly, the sacred medicine can extend one's lifespan by a full thousand years. You should know that the lifespan of an eight-ringed Yuanhun Wizard is only three thousand years.

If that sacred medicine were to be refined by a Nine-Ring Pharmacist into a potion called "Water of Reincarnation".

After a wizard takes the medicine, his soul can retain all the memories of his previous life after he dies when his lifespan is exhausted. His true spirit returns from the underworld, which is equivalent to defying the heavens and living a second life. Moreover, he can choose his own reincarnation.

As for the tenth floor, no one has ever entered it throughout history. Only a great wizard would have the strength to step into the tenth floor.

The problem is that the Grand Wizard is not qualified to enter the Dark Tower at all.

While the outside world was in turmoil over the Dark Tower, Li Wei was quietly cultivating in Hades City.

"Let them all go. It would be best if they all went to the Dark Tower to fight and kill, leaving me alone in the Wizarding World. Wouldn't that be wonderful? But Ms. Triss said she would try to get me a spot... If she does, should I go or not?"
