Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 267 The Brand! The Path of Bloodline and Limits! (1st update! Requesting double monthly votes)

Snow King City.

A cold pool and a secluded chamber.

Li Wei had already prepared for a tough battle.

When he broke through from the second ring to the third ring, it took him several years to successfully vaporize all his spiritual energy.

Now that the Third Ring Road has surpassed the Fourth Ring Road, even if it takes ten years, it wouldn't be surprising for Li Wei.

But the current situation is more optimistic than he thought.

"In just three months, I successfully liquefied my spiritual energy, and all at once, thirty-six drops. From the information and cases I've found so far, I've never encountered anything like this before..."

Li Wei said to himself.

Generally speaking, breaking through from the peak of the third ring to the fourth ring and condensing the first drop of spiritual energy dew is the most difficult.

Some exceptionally talented individuals, such as the Child of Elements, may be able to complete it in just a few months.

For some ordinary geniuses, it might take several years.

It's possible for ordinary wizards to spend ten years liquefying their first drop of spiritual power, not to mention the subsequent "transition period".

Li Wei reviewed the preparations before the Fourth Ring Road in the secret room.

He felt that the reason he liquefied so easily was because

It is inseparable from the ample preparations I made.

First of all, his talent is enhanced by special effects, making it extraordinary.

Then, Li Wei obtained the rare artifact of truth, the Water Dragon's Roar, which allowed Li Wei's mental power limit to directly break through the limit of a third-circle wizard.

He was also a legendary wizard who created the "Extreme Cold Liquefaction Method" and traveled thousands of miles to this icy realm to find a breakthrough in the extreme cold.

After going through countless hardships, they refined the most advanced breakthrough potion.

In addition, there's the Ring of Holy Tower, a wondrous object that shouldn't exist in the three realms.

With all the favorable factors combined, he has done everything he could think of and do to the fullest extent, all for this promotion!

"I even suspect that my success rate in breaking through from the third ring road to the fourth ring road has reached a saturation point... it may not be just 100%."

Li Wei smiled wryly, feeling a slight regret for using the Truth Wonder so early.

If used during the fifth ring race, it might even slightly increase the probability of breaking through the fifth ring.

"However, if we're lucky, we might obtain even better artifacts of truth during our journey to the Dark Tower. Out with the old, in with the new. Next, I'll gather the remaining 174 drops in one go and finish condensing them all, then I can leave this place."

……

at the same time.

Inside the wizard tower at the location of the spring.

A white-haired and bearded wizard, who looked quite shrewd, was meditating.

Gerd Mellon, the Ice Wizard.

Lord of Snow King City.

After finishing his meditation, he took the list of tenants that his subordinate had brought him.

"Not bad, another superior secret room has been rented out, which will make a small profit. This new third-ring wizard probably wants to rely on the extreme cold power there to advance to the fourth ring."

The Ice Wizard left the Winter Tower due to the war and has been ruling Snow King City for a hundred years.

Over the past century, it has been not uncommon for wizards to attempt to break through to the third ring here, largely due to the "Extreme Cold Liquefaction Technique" created by the Frost Witch.

Wizards from other major schools of thought also came to try and liquefy their spiritual energy. However, not many were ultimately successful.

"The superior secret chambers have all been rented out, and they are all occupied by third-ring wizards seeking breakthroughs here. I wonder how many of them will be able to successfully advance and continue their wizarding journey in a few years."

One year, fleeting.

The Ice Wizard's training results were not ideal.

"After the Fifth Ring, it becomes extremely difficult to move forward. I am already over seven hundred years old. If I cannot advance to the Yuan Soul level within three hundred years, my path to truth will come to an end."

Just as the Ice Wizard was worrying, light suddenly shone into the number one secret chamber.

"Someone has fallen..."

Because of the special environment of this cold pool, there have been frequent incidents of overconfident wizards freezing to death while practicing, failing to maintain proper control.

"Someone has perished in Room One. Send someone to handle it. If the storage bag belongs to a large organization or family wizard, return it as is; if it belongs to a rogue cultivator or a small organization, bring it to me; if they have living blood relatives in the mortal realm or in places where ordinary people gather, and if they have wizarding talent, they can be taken to Snow King City; otherwise, just leave some money." The Ice Wizard said, clearly familiar with the process.

Soon.

A fourth-circle wizard opened the door to the superior secret chamber.

On the floor, an old wizard had been frozen into an ice sculpture.

The wizard was emaciated, covered in age spots, and had dull, yellow eyes; he was completely devoid of life.

"Dying of old age...that's good, at least it's a peaceful death."

Inside the Wizard's Tower.

"Based on bone age, Bohr was 482 years old before his death. An investigation revealed that he had no relatives or organization."

The Ice Wizard put away the Wizard of Bol's storage bag and broke the magic circle on it.

"A paltry 30,000 Tai Shi, and an empty bottle of Snow Spirit Potion—it seems this is a pitiful person who has given everything and made a desperate gamble. The success rate of breaking through with the Snow Spirit Potion is less than 10%..."

Upon opening the yellowed envelope, it appeared to be an artifact from several hundred years ago.

"Brother Paul, Mother has fallen ill. If you have some time between your training sessions, please ask the wizard for leave and go home to see her... Your loving sister, Bonnie!"

The Ice Wizard sighed and burned the letter.

This reminded him of his time on earth, of that family of giants that had already turned to dust in history.

"If it weren't for the legacy of my family and the Frost Giant blood within me, which allowed me to receive Lady Gulveig's favor, my fate would probably be no different from Pol's..."

……

Time flies like an arrow, and time flies like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

That year, another third-ring wizard left the Cold Pool. He failed to break through, and although his life was not in danger, it was basically impossible for him to advance to the fourth ring again.

Meanwhile, in the No. 1 secret chamber where Pol was located, a fourth-circle wizard named Salman arrived. He was said to come from a major power in the Endless Sea: the Abyss Alliance.

The Ice Wizard happily pocketed the money. He went to the window and looked at the fourth secret room with some surprise.

"That third-ring wizard named Li Wei has been here for almost two years... With his cultivation level, he should be unable to hold on any longer. Even for a third-ring body-refining wizard, staying here for a year is extremely dangerous."

However, the magic circle did not sound an alarm, which means that Li Wei is not dead yet, so he will abide by the contract and will not interfere with Li Wei.

Those who have been able to cultivate to this point all possess some special qualities.

……

The year was 1133 in the Holy Radiance Calendar.

The first day of the primordial moon.

The 102th year of the Great Expedition.

Today should have been the day of the 31st roundtable meeting of the Twilight Knights.

However, due to Li Wei's seclusion, the 29th and 30th meetings were not actually held.

In the twilight temple of the human world.

The Blood Knight and the Black Knight held their own informal knightly meeting.

"Recently, more and more wizards have appeared in the human world... The boundary between the wizarding world and the human world is being constantly broken," the Blood Knight said solemnly.

"Some time ago, a third-ring wizard tried to break through the magic circle of our Twilight Temple. Even though the Blood Knight and I joined forces, we were still easily defeated... Fortunately, we were able to turn the tables thanks to the magic circle left by the leader," the Black Knight said helplessly.

"Besides using Blood Qi to form wings, we knights need more methods to fight against wizards of the same level. We can't rely entirely on our leader; we also need to learn to explore new avenues ourselves!" said the Divine Light Knight.

“That’s right. Wizards have a wide variety of magical methods, while our methods are too limited,” said Dinos, who was also a first-ring wizard.

He continued, "The 'Introduction to Bloodline Runes' left by the guild leader gave me a lot of inspiration."

Since wizards can use their mental and magical powers to research and develop magical runes.

We knights also have bloodlines and life force, so why can't we follow the example of wizards and create our own unique path of bloodline runes?

Wizards construct spell models on the level of consciousness and spirit, so we can construct talent models on the level of matter and body.

We are born to follow the path of bloodline. The beings behind the bloodlines within us possess not only the most basic attributes such as strength and speed, but also unpredictable and powerful magic-like abilities!

In fact, many wizards' spells were created by referencing and drawing inspiration from the spell-like abilities of extraordinary beings.

Spells like "Wrath of the Mountain Giant" are also known as "Bionic Spells".

Therefore, in theory, we are fully capable of mastering these abilities.

When I talked to the group leader before, he said that he had once envisioned a path:

By relying on bloodline runes, one can construct a [talent imprint] or [seed of divine power] that conforms to the characteristics of the breathing technique.

Each brand is a spell model, which needs to be constructed by specific bloodline runes according to a specific structure.

The seed of bloodline serves as the prerequisite and core for activation.

The power of blood, that is, blood and qi, is used to operate this mark.

Then, the two combine to fully leverage the advantages of our bloodline.

Therefore, we can also utilize the power of nature, such as earth, fire, wind, water, thunder, ice, and so on.

In fact, because our spellcasting originates from our bloodline talent, our spellcasting speed in the early stages may even be faster than that of wizards.

This should have been a magical ability hidden deep within our bloodline, but we knights haven't been able to unlock it. Bloodline is a vast treasure trove, and our development of it is too shallow and too rudimentary!

If we only focus on developing basic attributes like speed and strength, we will never be able to compete with wizards of the same level.

No matter how strong you are, you can't hit the wizard at all. What's the use of being toyed with by the wizard's magic?

Even the leader of the guild needs to use the wizarding way to make up for this deficiency, let alone us?

Of course, our innate talent also has its drawbacks, namely, it is limited by our bloodline type. This is something that cannot be changed, after all, we are a supernatural system based on bloodline.

"By the way, in the Endless Sea, there's a special group of extraordinary beings that wizards call 'Miracle Sorcerers,' and this is a similar example! If we have the chance in the future, we can hunt them down and capture them for research! To create a spellcaster system that belongs to us knights. The captain calls it... 'Branded Knights'!" Dinos said earnestly.

"Branded Knights, that sounds great... but it's just theory. To actually put it into practice would probably take a long time, countless generations of knights' efforts and research," Hogg said, somewhat bewildered.

"Let's begin then! Gentlemen, the wizarding civilization wasn't always this powerful. Before Sauron, no wizard had ever imagined that a mortal body could stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods... The reason I abandoned the path of wizardry and firmly chose the path of knighthood is because I discovered that exploring the unknown gives me more passion and a greater sense of accomplishment! Besides, we have our leader behind us!"

Dinos's eyes were shining; he wasn't joking.

"Agreed! Now that we've embarked on this path, we must go all the way without hesitation. We must learn from the leader, dare to be pioneers, and pave the way for future generations!" The Blood Knight slammed his fist on the table, stood up, and shouted.

"We don't know when the captain will arrive, but we can start the research project on the Branded Knights first!" the Black Knight said.

"What should we call such an exciting plan?" the Silver Dragon Knight asked.

As a legendary knight rookie, the fact that he could participate in such a grand plan that could change the world and alter the extraordinary landscape still feels like a dream to him!

"Project Extreme... to let us, who have always been bound by bloodlines, see where the limits of the bloodline path lie?" Dinos said.

"That's right, it matches the leader's legendary title, 'Extreme Knight'."

The knight's path to transcendence should be:

Bloodline and the Way of Limits!

……

This day.

The Realm of Ice.

Snow King City.

Bottom of the icy pool.

On the Ice Wizard's desk, a quill pen suddenly started moving, writing on a piece of paper.

[The Dark Tower has appeared, located in the Withered Valley.]

"To advance to the Yuanhun realm within three hundred years, unless I risk everything and venture into the Dark Ancient Tower, the chances are slim... But if I leave Snow King City, the Ice Phoenix might cause trouble. My Ice Emperor's Eye... Oh well, without the Yuanhun realm, I'm just an ant. If it's gone, it's gone!"

With a resolute expression, he walked out of the wizard's tower and said to his subordinates, "I'm leaving for a while. You all keep an eye on Snow King City and Cold Pool."

"Yes, Lord Gerd, you can go with peace of mind. With the three of us brothers guarding Snow King City, there will definitely be no problems!" said a fourth-circle wizard.

The Ice Wizard hurriedly left the underground icy pool.

These three brothers were quite famous in the area, known as the "Three Brothers of the Underworld".

They practiced rare group attack spells, and when the three brothers joined forces, they could barely put up a fight against even a fifth-ring wizard.

Room 4

Inside the ice sculpture.

Li Wei was like an old monk in deep meditation, or like a hibernating tortoise, completely still.

His internal organs, except for his heart, were all frozen. Even his heart was only trembling slightly, as if it might go out at any moment.

Under such circumstances, the other wizards would have already died.

However, Li Wei's consciousness was immersed in the mysterious Holy Tower of the Ring.

Inside the Holy Tower, in that expanse of starry sky.

"I've reached 200 drops of spiritual energy dew... Any other wizard would have already passed the transition period, but I'm still 10 points short. I'll be able to break through the transition period in less than three years. Even the Child of Elements can't match my speed."

"Furthermore, my spiritual dew seems to be different from that of other wizards."

A normal wizard's spiritual energy dew is usually a single color.

Li Wei, besides clearly representing the four colors of earth, fire, and feng shui, also...

There were other colors as well; he could recognize three of them, which should represent the three mutated elements: frost, thunder, and bronze.

In other words, light, as far as we know, has a total of seven colors.

Besides these, there are many other unknown colors.

"This should be related to the Etheric Breathing Technique I practice. Ether includes earth, fire, wind, and water, and earth, fire, wind, and water combine to give birth to thunder, frost, bronze, etc. These three are just known variant elements; there may be other undiscovered variant elements."

In any case, I treat all elements the same, that's the power of the Ether Dominator!

So, for others, the Child of Chaos is the worst talent, but for me, the Child of Chaos contains infinite possibilities!

Even in the distant future, one might need the talent of a child of chaos to advance to a higher realm.

After all, chaos is the original, primordial state of the universe; earth, fire, wind, water, and all things in the universe originated from chaos!

After finishing his reverie, Li Wei continued to condense the last ten drops of spiritual energy dew.

"I initially rented for five years, which was a bit of a waste. I'll have to ask the staff if they can refund part of my rent; I could get tens of thousands of dollars back..."

The days passed by.

Snow King City.

Emperor Mu's residence.

The sounds of fighting could be heard.

With a bang.

Mudi suddenly flew out and crashed into the wall of the training room.

Elsa looked at him helplessly: "Stop fighting, you can't beat Harvey."

"I am a Holy Ape Knight, how could I possibly be no match for an Ice Monkey?" Mu Di stood up, rubbing his injuries, clearly unconvinced.

"Just a little bit more and my new move will be born. Come on, Harvey, don't hold back!" Mudi said to the giant ice ape in front of him.

The giant ice ape looked at Mudi, then at Elsa.

Being a monkey is so hard!

"The captain has been in seclusion for three years. I really want to go back to the human world," Elsa suddenly said.

"I have been gone from this world for over a hundred years..." Mu Di thought of the years he was hunted down by the Church of Storms, and his heart was now indifferent.

Just then, alarms suddenly sounded in the city, and the sound of a magic array activating echoed through the sky.

"This is... a black wizard invasion?" Mu Di's expression changed, and he immediately realized what was happening.

"Let's go take a look," Elsa said.

If the situation becomes serious, they will have to go to the city lord's mansion to call the commander and evacuate Snow King City!

now.

Above Snow King City.

The four-ring protective array covering the entire city has been activated, protecting Snow King City in the center.

Above the city, three wizards led a wizard legion of over a hundred people, standing in mid-air.

"The Snow Owl Legion, this is the city lord's strongest army. Only second-ring wizards are qualified to join!" Emperor Mu was shocked when he saw this scene.

"The fact that they've deployed the Snow Owl Legion suggests that the enemy is quite formidable," Elsa said.

"The magic array has sealed off the city, so we can't get out. Let's play it by ear inside the city."

Above, ahead of the Snowowl Legion, stood three powerful fourth-ring wizards of different statures—the three brothers of the Underworld.

Outside the magic circle, a group of wizards dressed in ice-blue robes stood in mid-air.

"It's a wizard from the White Ice Forest..."

The eldest of the three brothers, Frost Witch of the Underworld, had a rather unpleasant expression.

The city lord left three months ago, and he should have returned by now, but he has not yet returned. Instead, the black wizard came to his door first.

Bai Binglin is the closest black wizard organization to Snow King City, and it also has a fifth-ring wizard in charge.

That person was none other than the city lord's mortal enemy of the past century, Ice Phoenix, Feline.

He was once a white wizard, but he has now joined the rebels of the Winter Tower.

Ice Phoenix had sent troops to attack Snow King City many times, but had never succeeded.

The three brothers thought she had given up.

"Hahahaha! Where's that old geezer, Jibing? Let him come out now! You rabble are no match for me!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a clear, melodious cry of a phoenix pierced the sky, splitting the clouds and rocks!

A magnificent bird with a wingspan of a hundred meters, pure white and exuding a frosty aura, descended from the sky, trailing a long, white tail flame.

The giant bird's head was actually a woman's head, which was quite bizarre.

With a burst of white light, the magic circle trembled violently.

Immediately afterwards, a beautiful witch with narrow eyes appeared, naked except for her private parts which were covered with white feathers, and long tail feathers behind her.

Feline is a fifth-ring powerhouse in the psychic school. She is called Ice Phoenix because her summoned beast is a fifth-ring extraordinary creature called the Frostfire Ice Bird.

It is said that this large bird is related to the mythical phoenix. Although it is of the frost attribute, it has mastered a rare flame of heaven and earth, the [Netherworld Frost Flame]!

Three months ago, Ice Phoenix learned from the mole that the Ice Wizard had left Snow King City, but she was worried that the Ice Wizard was playing tricks and setting a trap to ambush her.

So she waited three months to confirm that the Ice Wizard had really left before leading the wizards of the White Ice Forest to attack Snow King City.

She had long coveted the old man's icy pool. If her Ice Phoenix could absorb the power of that pool, it could stabilize the Five Elements Realm and might even awaken new abilities. From then on, the Ice Wizard would no longer be her match!

The three brothers of the Underworld were anxious. Although they could barely hold off the fifth ring when they joined forces, the enemy was also prepared and had two fourth ring wizards under their command.

They have already sent a message, hoping that the city lord can find a way to come and save the day.

Seeing that the two sides were on the verge of war, Mudi and Elsa quickly headed towards the city lord's mansion.

It seems that Snow King City cannot be saved!

"It seems that old man Jibing is indeed not here. Take this opportunity to seize the water of the cold pool. When he comes back, fight if you can, and run if you can't."

Outside the magic circle, the Ice Phoenix was making plans in her mind.

She has merged with her destined summoned beast, and can use its innate magic with a wave of her hand.

"Frostfire Ice King Spear!"

In her hand, icy blue flames appeared, coalescing into a long spear! Break!

boom!

With a single strike from the Fifth Ring Wizard!

The four-ring protective array was on the verge of collapse.

The three brothers guarded the magic array, and at the same time, three powerful fourth-ring talent spells appeared from three directions, converging together and attacking the Ice Phoenix!

"I've long heard that you three brothers cultivate a group attack spell from the same source, which, combined, can rival the Five Rings. Today, I'll have a good experience to see for myself!"

With a swing of his spear, he tore apart the three brothers' attacks, reducing them to nothing.

The three brothers' expressions changed; this was the power of the Fifth Ring Road!

Even though Ice Phoenix had only recently entered the Fifth Ring and was at the most ordinary level among them, it still brought them tremendous pressure.

The Ice Phoenix handed a crystal goblet to the two fourth-circle wizards beside her.

"You two take this sorcery artifact and go to that old man's icy pool, and collect all the water from it!"

At the same time, the information of the spell flooded into the minds of the two people.

The two accepted the order, activated their protective force field, and charged directly into the gap in the broken formation, heading straight for the city lord's mansion!

On the other side, at the entrance to the cold pool.

Mudi and Elsa were stopped by a third-ring guard.

"The Cold Pool is a forbidden area; trespassing is strictly prohibited!"

"The fifth-ring wizards have already stormed in, why aren't you running away? Besides, I have a friend inside, I need to go get him!" Mu Di said in a low voice.

"Get out!" the guard said coldly.

Anxious and desperate, Mudi, who had originally intended to force his way in, was stopped by Elsa.

"Are we even a match for him combined?"

"no."

"Calm down, there's no point in forcing our way in... Let's hide first. Snow King City is in such a mess right now, this entrance definitely can't be defended. We'll sneak in when things get chaotic," Elsa said.

After thinking for a moment, Mudi quickly took Elsa and left the place.

Not long after, two menacing figures descended upon the place.

"die!"

Before the guards could stop them, two fourth-ring spells had already swept the ground in turn.

"Let's go, the Ice Wizard might return at any moment, hurry up!" The two immediately plunged into the icy pool.

Before long, they appeared in the icy pool.

"It's so cold, hurry up and pump the water!"

One of them urged, "You're in charge of keeping watch."

The other person immediately chanted incantations and infused them with magical power.

The crystal wine glass floated up, its rim pointing downwards, and spun continuously, generating a tremendous suction force.

The next moment, the water in the icy pool began to surge backward, along with the rich frost elemental power within it, all rushing towards the wine cup!

Before this, many wizards had tried to use their storage space to take away the water from the cold pool.

However, they discovered that the water that was taken away would lose its elemental power.

But this magical wine glass seems to be able to solve this problem. It is clear that the Ice Phoenix has been planning this for a long time and came prepared!

Soon, the water in the cold pool decreased significantly.

The wizards practicing in their secluded chambers on the shore all noticed something was wrong.

One by one, they came out cursing and swearing.

"What's going on?"

"Who are you? Where is the city lord?"

"That looks like a dark wizard from the White Ice Forest... Run!"

The wizards were in complete chaos.

"Get out of here, all of you! Otherwise, you'll die here!" said the fourth-circle wizard on lookout.

He didn't want to cause any more trouble; he just wanted to get the water and leave as soon as possible.

The wizards all fled. They were all low-level wizards and dared not disobey the will of a fourth-ring wizard!

Bottom of the icy pool.

Inside the ice sculpture, Li Wei opened his eyes with extreme displeasure.

"Just one more drop! Damn it, who had to cause trouble at this crucial moment! Oh well, a single drop can be gathered anywhere. Let's deal with the immediate problem first... Gilmore, prepare for battle!"

In an instant, all the ice crystals on Li Wei's body shattered.

Inside his body, his bones crackled and popped, and his heart pounded more and more violently, like thunder.

The Crimson Dragon's Iron Cleaver emitted a resounding clang, clearly having been dormant for too long and was now itching for battle!

Li Wei opened the door to the secret room, and coincidentally, the door to the secret room next to it also opened.

A tall, imposing old man in a white robe, with a completely white beard and hair, came out leaning on a long staff, looking displeased.

"You two, either die or get out of here!" came the shout from above. Under normal circumstances, he would not treat a powerhouse of the same level with such an attitude.

But things are different now. The Ice Phoenix is ​​in the city, and he has nothing to fear except the Extreme Ice Wizard!

In this region, a fifth-ring wizard is invincible!

"I've only paid ten years' rent, and you're telling me to get out?! Are young people from the Frozen Realm this rude?"

The old man in white robes shouted in a strong voice. He rolled up his sleeves, and blue runes shimmered on his thick arms, like scales.

"A body-refining wizard?" The man breathed a sigh of relief. Body-refining wizards are generally weaker than magic wizards, which made him even less panicked.

"Me too! Even though I only have two years' rent left, I can't just give up like that!"

Li Wei exhaled a scorching breath, with long flames shooting out of his nostrils.

Behind him, his blood-red cloak fluttered in the wind, and in his hand, the Crimson Dragon Iron Cutter was eager to be used!

He had originally wanted to test the power of the fourth-ring talent spell, but the transition period was still not over, even though he was only 1 point away! Li Wei didn't dare to try, afraid that all his previous efforts would be wasted.

His arms were covered in golden scales and wreathed in crimson flames.

"Another body-refining wizard?"

The White Ice Forest Wizard was also astonished.

Body-refining wizards are rarely seen.

Today, two people actually appeared in this small, cold pond, and they both seem to be at the fourth ring level.

"You're also a body-refining wizard, sir. I never expected that young people these days would still choose this path. How about we each take one and fight our way out?"

The white-robed old man smiled broadly, showing no sign of panic, seemingly very confident in his own strength.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Li Wei's expression remained unchanged, a slight smile playing on his lips. With a flash of his cloak, he vanished from the spot. The next moment, a massive ice pillar stood there, crushing the secret chamber!

On the other side, the white-robed elder let out a long roar, his robes fell off, and his body, which had been refined, was fully revealed!

A blue-scaled giant, resembling a sea creature, appeared and shattered the incoming ice pillar with a single punch, turning it into dust!

……

"Have you seen the commander?"

"no."

Mudi and Elsa watched anxiously as the wizard left the icy pool.

"Is he in seclusion, perhaps?"

"Let's go in and take a look!"

Just as the two were about to go inside.

Suddenly, the earth trembled.

Mudi and Elsa sensed something was wrong and quickly retreated.

The next moment, the entire city lord's mansion collapsed with a roar, and a deep crack that stretched for a thousand meters appeared.

Flames spread from the depths of the crack, and the high temperature soared into the sky, melting even the falling snow!

Accompanied by boisterous laughter.

A blue-scaled giant leaped high into the air, and the arrogant wizard who had spoken so rudely before him fled as if he had seen a ghost.

At the same time, another wizard, holding a wine glass, also directly exhausted his original spiritual power and flew out of the ground with a pale face.

"Lady Philin, save us!"

The two fourth-circle wizards shouted in unison.

At this moment, the Ice Phoenix, barefoot, was stepping on the unwilling face of the eldest of the three brothers, clearly having won the battle.

She looked up.

High in the sky, a streak of crimson and black sword energy swept across the sky, tearing through the vast white world of ice and snow!

Where the sword energy swept across, Snow King City was almost split in two, with ravines plowed up.

The fourth-circle wizard in front, holding a wine glass, was struggling to use his magic to maintain the last bit of protective force field.

However, before the unparalleled sword energy, it was as fragile as paper, shattering silently! A dark shadow flashed by, snatched the fallen wine glass and spoils, and quickly returned to the side of the crimson figure.

The sword energy still lingered as it reached the Ice Phoenix.

Suddenly, blue ice wings sprouted from her back and enveloped her in an instant!

As the sword energy dissipated, she retracted her ice wings with a gloomy expression.

A blue flame-like ice crystal feather appeared in my hand.

She looked down, her eyes slightly startled.

The feathers of the Frostfire Icebird were torn.

Originally, this chapter was over 10,000 words long, and I wanted to introduce the past of the Frost Wizard in detail, and use his perspective to resolve the foreshadowing of the Frost Giant Armor, while also laying the groundwork for the main character, the Frost Witch. However, this would have resulted in too little screen time for the protagonist in one chapter, and I was afraid it would be considered padded. In the end, I spent most of the day revising and editing it, and this is how it turned out.

As a new author, Lao Tian's writing style and pacing are not as good as those of other veteran authors. He often writes based on his feelings and does not have the subjective intention to write filler articles. However, it seems that no matter how he writes, there will always be readers who say that his writing is filler, which is quite frustrating.

To be honest, I'm terrified every time I post a chapter now, afraid of being accused of padding.

After all, my grades are mediocre, and I don't want to give up on any of my readers, unlike top authors who can be capricious.

For the extra chapter event on Qidian, Lao Tian set a goal of 20000 votes for three extra chapters. We've got almost 6,000 votes now. Regardless of whether we can reach the 20000 vote goal, I'll still add a second chapter today, which will be a long one.

If we reach 20000 votes, this next chapter will be an extra chapter. If we don't reach that number, well, it's already been posted, so just read it.

(End of this chapter)
