Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 287 Advancement! The Third Divine Palace! Welcoming the New and Bidding Farewell to the Old, Defining the Realms! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Imperial Palace.

Chamber of Secrets.

"The Undying Armor!"

A thought crossed Li Wei's mind.

The Death Dragon Seed shone brightly, and jet-black flames surged forth from Li Wei's limbs and veins.

boom!

Black flames rose, and Li Wei was bathed in them, exuding a sinister and rampant aura reminiscent of a dark wizard.

Beneath the raging flames was a rugged, heavy knight's heavy armor, forged entirely from black flame demonic iron!

Black Flame Demon Iron, as a rare level-five elemental metal, has a density and hardness far exceeding that of ordinary iron or even obsidian gold, resulting in an extremely high weight.

This set of heavy knight's armor consumed tens of thousands of kilograms of pure black flame demon iron, which is not ore, but the final essence extracted from it!

With so much Black Flame Demon Iron, it should be enough to forge three top-grade fifth-ring witch artifacts.

If one were to cut corners and manufacture those standard witchcraft artifacts, five or six pieces would be no problem.

However, Li Wei went all in on the divine weapon.

Divine weapons can grow and advance alongside the user. Investing in them is a sure thing – you won't lose out!

The indestructible armor.

The main functions are as follows:

First, defense. Needless to say, as a divine weapon of armor type, it definitely has defensive functions. Moreover, because it is made of level 5 elemental metal, even if Li Wei did not solidify any five-ring defensive spells, its defensive strength is far superior to most four-ring defensive magical artifacts.

By this calculation, Li Weidie's armor has reached the ninth level!

Previously, the two major body-refining methods were combined into one, otherwise it would already be at the tenth level!

This can no longer be described as a turtle; this is a "thousand-year-old tortoise"!

Secondly, it enhances physical fitness. The Undying Armor, designated as an exclusive divine weapon by the Death Dragon Seed, can amplify the physical enhancement of the Death Dragon Breathing Technique, significantly improving its effects. With the increased physical strength, Li Wei's self-healing ability becomes even more exaggerated.

He even believed that as long as his head remained, his body would regenerate on its own in no time without external interference. Of course, even he wouldn't dare to attempt such an exaggerated experiment.

Third, "Void Black Flame," the Black Flame Demon Iron contains unique fire elemental power, which mutated with Li Wei's Death Dragon power, giving birth to a peculiar flame.

Li Wei calls it "Void Black Flame". The Void Black Flame is extremely powerful. It can burn enemies. Once they are infected, they are like maggots clinging to bones. They cannot be shaken off or extinguished. It can also suppress the enemy's self-healing ability. It can be called a "healing reduction" divine skill!

These three abilities together constitute Li Wei's most expensive, and possibly most powerful, divine weapon.

The Crimson Dragon Iron Slash he used was only level four Heavenly Fire Meteorite Iron, while the Crimson Shadow was level four Blood Demon Crystal. Although both materials of the Golden Dragon Sky-Defying Shield were level five, the amount used was not as luxurious as the current Undying Armor.

Crimson longsword, scarlet cloak, golden dragon shield, jet-black demonic armor.

Li Wei was quite satisfied with the stylishness of the four-piece outfit.

"Although wizards' spellcasting and robes are more elegant, for men, the most stylish outfit is still mine," Li Wei thought to himself.

He extended the Crimson Dragon Iron Blade from his hand, the Crimson Emperor Dragon Flame and the Void Black Flame intertwining and merging together...

boom!

The sealed room collapsed.

The reinforcement array set up by Li Wei... cracked, and the imperial palace above the secret chamber even trembled.

"It can explode? Luckily I only used a tiny bit, otherwise it would have caused an experimental accident."

Li Wei removed the layers of force fields and emerged from the smoke and dust unharmed.

"This could be explored further, fusing the Crimson Emperor Dragon Flame and the Void Black Flame to create a terrifying explosion that destroys the enemy. What should we call this move? How about... Twin Dragons Playing with a Pearl!"

Li Wei left the secret room and came to an open space.

This time, he stood on the ground, his sword pointing to the heavens.

"Two dragons playing with a pearl!"

The two special flames converged on Li Wei's Crimson Dragon Iron Cutter, transforming into two fiery dragons, one red and one black, which intertwined and swirled together.

Accompanied by crackling sounds, a feeling of extreme instability came over me.

Li Wei suddenly unleashed a sword strike, unleashing a devastating sword aura.

As the jet-black sword energy surged into the sky, the violently trembling red and black dragons soared upwards.

The sword energy weakens as the distance increases, eventually disappearing without a trace.

But the flames continued to react and merge.

With a bang, it exploded!

Art is a blast!

A massive explosion of black and red flames, hundreds of meters in diameter, swept across the area. The shockwave covered a radius of several miles.

Within the radius of the killing force, rocks and vegetation turn to ashes.

A terrifying gust of wind swept through Li Wei's force field, but due to the distance, it did not break through.

Li Wei tested it out, and the explosive power was a full 160 calories!

"The Crimson Emperor Dragon Flame is a level four flame... The Void Black Flame is formed by combining the power of the level three peak Death Ember Dragon with the fire element power contained in level five elemental metal. All things considered, it can also be considered a level four flame."

Two completely different level-four flames, when fused together, actually produced this terrifying explosive reaction.

Without any buffs, its power reached an astonishing 160 calories, which is already the attack power of a fifth-circle spell, although it's at a lower level. Let me test it again to see if the power changes after transforming.”

The next moment, horns grew on Li Wei's forehead, his body swelled, runes flashed, and the nightmare descended!

After all the forms were stacked, "Double Dragons Playing with a Pearl" was performed again!

As the fireball exploded in the sky, this time it was more powerful than the last one.

【193 cards】

Upon seeing this, Li Wei frowned.

"It doesn't seem to be working very well. Those buffs mainly target the six basic attributes, so they greatly amplify sword attacks like the Annihilation Sword Aura, which rely on attributes. But they're far less effective against magical attacks like Twin Dragons Playing with a Pearl."

However, the power of this move is second only to the two major killing moves, [Blazing Flame Serpent] and [Full State Annihilation Sword Qi], and can be used as a supplementary killing move.

For an area-of-effect attack to have such power is already quite formidable, equivalent to a standard fifth-level area-of-effect spell.

Li Wei demonstrated his skills again.

He eventually discovered that with his current power as the Death Dragon, performing the Twin Dragons Playing with a Pearl technique about three times would consume a large portion of his health.

Then, he swung his sword again.

On the fourth attempt, only the Crimson Emperor Dragon Flame was unleashed. The ethereal black flame, with only a wisp of fire, quickly went out.

Li Wei looked at the pitch-black demonic armor that surrounded him; the black flames that had been wrapped around it had all vanished without a trace.

"The fire elemental power contained here has been temporarily used up and needs time to recover. I thought it could explode indefinitely. If that were the case, even a fifth-ring wizard would be severely injured if I bombarded him with a dozen or twenty Twin Dragons Playing with Pearls."

Li Wei exhaled, sat down on the ground to rest, and retracted the Undying Armor into his body to nurture it.

The prototypes of the four divine weapons have been established, and now only the Sky Dragon and Nightmare Dragon are still without divine weapons.

"Nightmare metal, I've never heard of it in the Wizarding World except for the research notes of the Dream Tower... The material for Nightmare Dragon's divine weapon is probably only possible in the Nightmare World."

"The materials for the Sky Dragon's divine weapon, the elemental metals of Storm and Thunder, are extremely rare. Relatively speaking, fire elemental metals are the easiest to find. If they are not found in the Dark Ancient Tower, I will go to the Thunder Realm and the Divine Wind Realm after I return."

Li Wei already had a preliminary plan in mind.

In addition, after these years of spiritual practice...

Li Wei, the Crimson Emperor Dragon, and the Golden Serpent have already reached the third transformation of bloodline, the fifteenth level.

The Crimson Dragon, Sky Dragon, and Death Dragon are all Blood Origin Second Transformation, Tier 14.

Originally, Li Wei's progress in training with the Crimson Dragon was slightly faster than that of the Sky Dragon and the Death Dragon.

However, due to the Wind and Thunder Wyvern's advancement to the fourth ring, the Sky Dragon has surpassed the Crimson Dragon after years of training.

Therefore, the most likely candidate for Bloodborne's third transformation is the Sky Dragon, followed by the Crimson Dragon and the Death Dragon.

"I wonder when Crimson Nether Sparrow will advance... But even if he does, with his bloodline potential, the fourth ring is probably his limit. How am I supposed to find a fifth-ring Phoenix descendant?"

After so many years of research, Li Wei discovered some patterns of advancement in extraordinary beings.

Basically, if you can get to the first ring road, with a little more effort, you can get to the second ring road as well.

After reaching the intermediate level, those who can reach the third ring road have a good chance of reaching the fourth ring road in the future.

However, the transition from the Fourth Ring Road to the Fifth Ring Road is a significant hurdle, not to mention the Sixth Ring Road.

Even among dragons, only sub-dragon species have the potential to advance to the sixth ring.

Of the extraordinary creatures he currently possesses, based on bloodline potential, the only one with the potential to reach the fifth ring is actually the Wind and Thunder Wyvern Raja.

Besides, the three ancient beasts at the fourth level—the Earth-Drilling Dragon Earthworm, the Fiery Blood Frenzy Dragon, and the Azure-Armored Blue Fish Dragon—seem to be like the Ancient Saints, perhaps due to limitations of their plane or bloodline. In any case, the peak of the fourth level seems to be their upper limit.

Over hundreds of thousands of years, many ancient saints and ancient beasts have been born in the Ancient Saint Plane, but only the true "Original Ancient Saint" has broken through the fourth level ceiling and entered the fifth level.

"Let nature take its course. I have plenty of time now and there's no need to rush."

He returned to the Imperial Palace and renovated his secret chamber.

Livy took out the Book of Cypher, which he had obtained from the Crimson Realm, and began to read it.

Li Wei currently controls two main four-ring magic arrays: the [Seven Kings' Hell] and the [Demon's Cage].

He wanted to see if the Book of Cypher contained any other useful magic arrays that he could learn from and refer to.

Time flies, and the days of research and study pass quickly once you become engrossed in them.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

The year 1150 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of the North Wind.

Inside the imperial palace, Li Wei spent his days studying the principles of magic arrays.

In the past six months, even as a fourth-circle magic circle wizard, Levi has gained a great deal from studying the Book of Cypher.

"Cypher's achievements in the art of magic arrays far surpass mine. Many of my ideas and plans have already been put forward by him. Moreover, my Seven Kings Hell Magic Array still has some aspects that can be further improved."

Of the three arts of wizardry, magic arrays are the most difficult, the most profound, and the rarest to be passed down.

Mastering magic arrays can greatly benefit one's ability to apply knowledge to crafting, alchemy, and other related fields.

Over the past six months, through reading and constant experimentation, Li Wei's proficiency in magic array skills has increased significantly, even faster than when he previously relied on brute force by crafting magic arrays. This is the power of knowledge.

"The Book of Cypher is a hidden gem in the hands of Fire Wolf. Giving me such a good book would be enough to make me a fifth-circle magic circle wizard, saving me a lot of detours and saving me ten or twenty years."

Six months.

Li Wei has created a new magic array.

This magic array is called the "Four Directions Flame Realm," and it is also a four-ring magic array. In terms of power alone, it is even stronger than the Hellfire Sea.

However, the fiery hell is only a component of the "Seven Kings' Hell," while this is the complete magic array.

The Four Directions Flame Realm is a defensive formation with pure fire attributes. Li Wei created this formation because it would be difficult to gather enough materials for a second set of the Seven Kings Hell in a short period of time.

Therefore, a Four Directions Flame Realm was created and placed near the temple altar in the Ancient Saint Plane. A Crimson-Eyed Wizard presided over the magic array within it, while four Ancient Saints provided assistance.

In this way, both the human realm and the ancient sage plane have a four-ring magic array, making this area impregnable.

In addition, Li Wei also learned some small, practical magic arrays during this time, which will be helpful for his future journey to the Dark Tower.

In the days that followed, Li Wei once again lived a life of seclusion, rarely leaving his house except to exchange information about the wizarding world with the Rose Witch.

He also refined the five-ringed sorcerer artifact, the "Orb of Secret Fire," which he had previously obtained from Iman.

In this way, he would have two fifth-ring magical artifacts that he could use in battle, which would be more luxurious than even an ordinary fifth-ring wizard.

Unfortunately, his mental strength is only 281 points, and his magical strength is only over 14,000 points.

He had used up all his magical power; it wasn't enough to cast all five ring spells that had been solidified on the two magical artifacts in one round.

To be able to use them freely, one must be at least at the fifth ring level. This is why mid-level wizards rely primarily on their innate spells in later combat.

Innate spells are fast to cast, consume little energy, and are powerful, making them the foundation for a mid-level wizard!

Any other means, whether magical artifacts or ordinary spells, can only serve as a supplement.

Moreover, the power of innate spells increases continuously as the wizard's level improves.

If the user of a talent spell is fortunate enough to reach the level of a legendary wizard, it can still be used as a legendary spell.

Time flies.

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

The year 1151 of the Holy Radiance calendar has arrived.

At the 50th Roundtable Conference, Li Wei learned that the Black Knights' work was progressing quite smoothly, and they had already recruited a group of knights in the Wizarding World, including some great knights.

Mudi, Hogg, and the Black Knight are all at the level of third-tier knights, and except for Hogg, the others are also at the level of formal wizards. In the borderlands of the Earth Realm, as long as they don't act too ostentatiously, they generally won't run into any major problems. That's equivalent to the outer ring region of the Endless Sea, where a third-ring wizard is already a powerful figure.

Seeing that the Knights of Middle-earth could operate independently and smoothly, Li Wei was also very pleased and continued his long journey of grinding experience. At this stage, his focus was on the Sky Dragon Breathing Technique.

He wanted to ensure that all breathing techniques, except for Nightmare Dragon's, reached the Blood Source Third Transformation realm before entering the Dark Tower.

……

world.

The Kingdom of Gaia.

Baisha Mountain.

In a valley.

A black castle stands here.

Around the castle, there are some herbs and spellcasting materials commonly used by the Death faction.

Some corpse puppet stewards and servants are managing this secluded little place in an orderly manner.

As a dark, gloomy cloud descended outside the courtyard, the figure of the Wild Bone Wizard emerged from within.

He looked somewhat nervous, after all, his senior sister was not only powerful but also had a very eccentric personality.

"Come in."

A sound came from inside the castle.

The black barrier slowly opened, revealing a pitch-black passage.

The Wild Bone Wizard took a deep breath and came to the end.

"Senior sister."

"What is it?" The tyrannical lady was crafting a new corpse puppet.

As a Death Wizard of the Trickster class, she spends her days meditating and researching corpse puppets.

"I'd like to ask you for a favor..." said the Wild Bone Wizard.

"What price?" the tyrannical woman asked.

Wild Bones handed her a storage ring. She glanced at it and then asked, "Speak."

Wild Bones then explained the situation to the tyrannical lady.

"You're still thinking about that red bone? Do you know your senior sister Nara is dead?" the tyrannical lady sneered.

"What? Nera is dead? When? I've been busy in seclusion and really didn't know." Nokotsu said in disbelief.

Nara is a fifth-circle wizard, and she still has a long time before her lifespan ends.

"Forget it, there's no point in telling you." The Tyrannical Lady had given up all hope of finding the killer of Balzan and Nera.

So he secluded himself in this valley all day long, focusing on preparing for the establishment of a branch of the Soul-Stealing Tower.

The Bane of Pain was right; she had wasted too much time on meaningless worldly emotions. Otherwise, with her talent, she would have already reached the fifth ring of perfection.

However, she could help the Wild Bone Wizard with this favor. She could easily obtain so many Tai Stones with just a simple gesture, so why not?

She's crazy, not stupid.

"Will you come with me?" the tyrannical woman asked.

"I...I'm not going. She doesn't want to see me." The Wild Bone Wizard, who was considered extremely fierce by many wizards in Hades City, now seemed like a shy old boy.

"Then I'll go by myself." The tyrannical woman said, and left without hesitation, taking to the air and disappearing from the place.

Wild Bone Wizard also sighed, watching his senior sister leave.

In his hand, he held the blood-red bow.

"You'll probably go to the Dark Tower too..."

He carefully put away the ribbon and left the place.

……

a few days later.

The Crimson Realm.

Hongtashan.

Inside the Wizard's Tower, the Redbone Wizard encountered the Tyrannical Lady, the leader of the legendary Banshee of Pain's three disciples.

Judging solely from their mental strength, they seem to be inferior to me.

Of course, he had spent far more years cultivating than the Tyrannical Lady; in fact, the Tyrannical Lady was more talented than him.

"The Wild Bone Wizard sent me. Tell me, what do you need me to do?" the Tyrannical Lady asked.

"I need you to help me find a killer," Red Bone said.

"Take me to the place where the victim died."

Redbone led the Tyrannical Lady all the way to that secret realm.

"In a secret realm?"

"Yes."

The two entered, killed some ignorant black beasts, and arrived at the mine hall.

"This should be it," Red Bone said.

"I'll give it a try. It might not work. If it fails, don't blame me."

"No, just do your best. Wild Bones should have already paid, right?"

"Um."

The tyrannical lady released the Soul-Chasing Hound Corpse Puppet.

"This is a great thing! It makes so many things so much more convenient." Red Bone's eyes were filled with undisguised envy.

The tyrannical lady remained silent as she gave orders to the Soulhounds.

The black hound, drooling, sniffed the ruins before turning into a wisp of black smoke and disappearing underground.

"Wait, it will take some time," the tyrannical woman said expressionlessly.

Red Bone nodded.

Seven days later.

The Soul-Chasing Hound appeared before the tyrannical lady with a bewildered look, questioning its very existence.

The tyrannical lady's heart sank upon seeing the Soulhound's behavior.

"What's wrong?" Red Bone had a bad feeling.

"The souls of these people were forcibly intercepted by an unknown entity with great power. These souls have completely disappeared, unable to enter the underworld, unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation, and unable to be reborn. My hounds are unable to find clues based on the guidance of their souls..." The tyrannical woman said, her thoughts returning to several years ago.

This scene seems familiar.

"How is that possible? Whether it's physical death or the dissipation of the soul, the final destination is definitely to go to the underworld for reincarnation. Only in this way can the balance and order of the multiverse be maintained. Apart from the Yuanhun Wizard? I have never heard of anyone who can defy this rule. Even the Yuanhun Wizard cannot do this often. Doing so would offend the guardians of the order of the underworld and would definitely not end well." Red Bone was somewhat incredulous.

"I have no reason to lie to you. No matter what, Ye Gu is my junior brother, and he has already paid for it."

"Never mind, you can go back now, thanks."

Back to Hongtashan.

Honggu felt somewhat depressed.

"Could it be that the person was possessed by a Yuanhun Wizard... and his strength hasn't fully recovered yet? If that's the case, I can't investigate any further. If I anger him, my life might be in danger. Let Raphael continue the investigation."

The next day.

"Sir, are we moving?" asked the busty older sister of the twins.

"Um."

"Then we swear to follow you to the death, sir!"

The older sister quickly pledged her loyalty, as they had offended Geralt. Without Redbone's protection, they might disappear from this world one day!

On that day, Hongtashan completely disappeared from the map.

The Red Bone Wizard took the Red Tower and left the Flaming Mountain overnight.

She was looking for a secluded place to wait for the Dark Tower to open.

Meanwhile, in the Fire Bull family, Faral was busy preparing for the Dark Tower and gradually put this matter out of his mind.

On the contrary, in Fire Crocodile City, the Blood Demon Tower Master kept the man named Li Wei in mind, preparing to find an opportunity to go to the human world to look for him in the future, and maybe even earn some "extra money"—wouldn't that be wonderful?

But in the human world.

After the tyrannical lady returned, the calm that had been settling down in his heart gradually stirred up a little more.

"The person Redbone asked me to find has a similar modus operandi to the murderers who killed Nera and Balzan. Although I can't be completely sure, let's assume it's the same person. That means the murderer went to the Crimson Realm and should have registered in Fire Crocodile City. If I can see the registration list, I might be able to find the organization behind the murderer and then find his whereabouts."

……

time flies.

Before we knew it, it was the end of 1151, the month of winter.

Overseas.

At the portal from the Endless Sea to the human world, a brilliant light shone.

After years of investigation and discussion, Melina and several other third-ring wizards finally decided to establish the wizarding organization on Earth.

Although Starfire Wizarding Academy is excellent, and even has a Soul Wizard in charge, they might end up repeating the same mistakes they made in the Realm of All Things. Dealing with so many wizards would be too troublesome.

What Melina wants to do is to pass on the spiritual and nurturing knowledge she learned from her father.

"Lady Melina, the elemental power in the human realm is indeed quite good; it's sufficient for us low-level wizards," an excited wizard said.

Melina said:

"I've been here to investigate many times. In the human world, the thing to be careful of is the church. Avoid conflicts with the church unless necessary. Another thing is some other secret organizations that have existed in the human world since ancient times. Although they keep a low profile, they also have the shadow of gods behind them. As for wizard organizations, there aren't many in the human world at the moment."

"Where would be a good place for this organization to establish its headquarters? The Seven Kingdoms?"

"With our strength, let's not go to the Seven Kingdoms Continent for now. There are too many forces there, and it's a mixed bag. We should find a large island in this overseas region, keep it there, and use it to cultivate our extraordinary creatures."

"Okay, everyone, go your separate ways and search."

A month later.

Melina and her team chose a location in the open sea, far from the mainland.

Here, there is a fairly large uninhabited island, complete with mountains, streams, and primeval forests.

"Let's do it here," Melina said.

"Okay, so what should we name our organization?"

"The Tower of Ten Thousand Beasts?"

"That's too cliché."

"The Tower of Spirit Control".

"That's not good either."

Everyone offered suggestions, and Melina suddenly said, "Why don't we keep it simple and call it 'Paradise'? Our paradise is also a paradise for extraordinary creatures."

……

Time flies like an arrow.

Four years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The year 1155 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Primordial Moon.

Li Wei ended his long four-year seclusion.

He successfully completed his seclusion before his 165th birthday.

He emerged from his seclusion, somewhat wistfully remarking, "As my lifespan increases, I seem to become increasingly numb to the passage of time. For ordinary people, four years can bring about a lot of change... but for me, four years is merely a means to achieve some breakthroughs in my cultivation."

Over the past four years, Li Wei has been steadily cultivating his wizarding path. His mental strength has reached 300 points, and his magical power 15000 points! His spellcasting has also made some progress. For his fifth innate spell, he envisions it being of the Storm faction.

In his chivalrous ways, Livy focused on practicing the Sky Dragon Breathing Technique.

A few months ago, he successfully reached the limit of his Sky Dragon Breathing Technique.

Similar to the Golden Snake Breathing Technique, the option of either "Advanced" or "Evolved" also appeared later.

Li Wei still chose [Advanced]. He could gather the materials for evolution, but that would cost Raja his life, which wasn't worth it. A steady, gradual approach was better.

Even if he evolves, without Raja, Levi doesn't have a better alternative to the secret medicine ingredients for the time being, and his subsequent cultivation will also be a problem.

Moreover, like the Golden Serpent, the Sky Dragon, while not as powerful as the Crimson Emperor Dragon, is still a breathing technique that surpasses even the legendary ones.

Even without evolving, merely advancing in rank, achieving level nine knight status in the future is a certainty, and level ten is also possible.

Li Wei's idea is to focus on advancement at this stage, and wait until the extraordinary biological cultivation base becomes bigger and stronger.

Or, if you encounter more extraordinary beings in the future, you can harvest them directly as evolutionary materials before you develop any feelings for them.

It took Li Wei three months to absorb all the advanced magic potions using the Blood Refining Method.

Having learned from the previous two experiences, this time went much more smoothly.

Now, his Sky Dragon Breathing Technique has advanced to the fifteenth level.

Li Wei————————

Sky Dragon Breathing Technique: 15th Rank (1/700,000), Special Effects: Heavenly Dragon Pillar (Level 3), People of Wind and Thunder, Three Thousand Feathers Fall. Bloodline Dharma Form: Wind Rises and Thunder Surges; Exclusive Weapon: None.

……

The fifteenth level of the Sky Dragon brings two changes.

Firstly, his endurance attribute has improved. In terms of stamina, Li Wei is now even more powerful, with more abundant stamina. This increase can be reflected in his other five dimensions of breathing techniques.

Secondly, there was the birth of the bloodline Dharma form.

In the blink of an eye.

White sky dragon power overflowed behind him, forming a white storm.

At the eye of the storm, the phantom of a sky dragon covered in pure white feathers appeared.

On the surface of the Sky Dragon's body, the power of wind and thunder churned like clouds and mist.

Accompanied by crackling explosions, gales and thunderstorms coalesced within the phantom dragon in the sky, creating a terrifying spectacle.

Faintly, the phantom of this sky dragon seemed to be able to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, creating a wonderful sense of harmony!

This is the Sky Dragon's Dharma Form, which Li Wei named:

The wind rises and thunder roars!

Like [Golden Snake Dance] and [Red Emperor Burns the Heavens].

The primary function of this Dharma form remains defense.

This means that, theoretically, under extreme conditions, Li Wei could unleash the tenth layer of defense.

Of course, in most cases, unless he is competing against the five rings, Li Wei does not need to expend so much energy.

The defensive power of the Wind and Thunder is average, only at the level of a normal four-ring protective force field.

It's understandable that the Sky Dragon is much weaker than the Crimson Emperor Dragon and isn't particularly skilled in defense.

The Wind Rising Thunder Surge spell can also unleash terrifying electric currents and hurricanes from within the body using the power of the Sky Dragon, attacking enemies with power comparable to a fourth-circle spell—just average.

All of the above are merely incidental effects of the rising winds and thunder.

The Dharma Image was born from an endurance-type breathing technique.

Its primary function is naturally related to endurance.

After unleashing his Dharma form, accompanied by the surging power of wind and thunder, Li Wei could feel a trace of power from heaven and earth miraculously flowing into his body.

This power is not elemental power, but pure energy.

This reminded Li Wei of the child of Poseidon, the sea god, and the earth god in ancient Greek mythology from his previous life:

Antai!

This deity possesses boundless power simply by standing on the earth.

Li Wei's current situation is similar.

After unfolding the Dharma image.

He could draw power from the wind and thunder born from the Dharma Form. As the wind howled across the Dharma Form, wisps of subtle energy flowed into his body. It was a truly magical experience.

To verify his conjecture, Li Wei went to the high heavens and unfolded his Dharma form.

"Raja!"

Li Wei shouted.

The Wind and Thunder Pterosaur appeared in front of Li Wei.

"Use your power, wind or thunder, attack me as you please."

Raja was used to it.

He immediately began to unleash his magic-like abilities, and a gale and thunderstorm swept towards Li Wei.

Li Wei activated the Wind and Thunder Dharma Form, but had no other defensive measures.

Raja's attacks were more than enough to withstand the fierce and powerful defenses.

boom!

After the terrifying electric currents and gales entered the area covered by Li Wei's Sky Dragon Dharma Form, the wind and thunder power on the Sky Dragon's body became even more concentrated.

At the same time, Li Wei felt as if a continuous stream of power was flowing into his body.

"This feeling... is like charging, or like generating electricity. The lightning stimulates my body, making me last as long as I'm on steroids or taking a blue pill, while the power of the wind, like wind power generation, constantly amplifies the intensity of the lightning's stimulation."

In short, when confronting Raja's wind and thunder attacks, Livi felt that his power was inexhaustible.

If you are fighting against a wizard from the Thunder faction or the Storm faction.

This means that as long as the opponent's attack cannot kill Li Wei, it will make Li Wei stronger and more resilient.

Because he was charging up while he was being beaten!

At this point, the effectiveness of the eleventh layer of Li Vidie armor becomes apparent.

Unless it's a seasoned fifth-ring wizard, a regular fifth-ring wizard from the Thunder or Storm faction shouldn't be able to instantly kill or seriously injure Li Wei.

In this way, Li Wei can quickly recharge from their attacks by relying on the Dharma Form of Wind and Thunder.

Then, his various defensive force fields will last longer, and his attacks will become more and more powerful.

This creates a virtuous cycle, eventually wearing down the opponent.

"Theoretically, it's feasible, but in reality... why would I let a fifth-ring wizard beat me up? However, if I were to encounter Soret again, I might be able to put up a fight."

It was precisely because of this abnormal ability that Li Wei named the Dharma Image "Wind and Thunder".

To put it simply, it's the Dharma image of "wind power generation." This continues to fully implement Li Wei's long-standing green and sustainable development philosophy.

Now, inside Li Wei's body.

At the very center stands the Crimson Emperor's Palace, a solitary structure with the Crimson Emperor Dragon coiled atop the throne.

To the left is the magnificent Golden Serpent Palace, with golden serpents coiled around the pillars.

Now, on the right, another white palace suddenly appeared, pure white and holy, filled with thunder.

This is the Sky Palace!

The giant dragon, clad in white feathers and representing the sky, floated above the divine palace.

In terms of endurance, he has officially entered the third transformation of Blood Origin, which is the fourth-level knight realm.

"The only drawback is that the Sky Dragon is still missing a divine weapon."

Li Wei sighed and left the imperial palace.

Twilight Temple.

Li Wei arrived quietly.

On the training ground, two great knights are fighting.

One of them wielded a halberd-like weapon, his arms were as thick as buckets, and on his arm was a tattoo brand resembling a rhinoceros beetle.

This rhinoceros beetle is a creature called the "Halberd Sky Beast," possessing immense strength capable of moving mountains, and its single horn can even pierce the sky.

The other great knight was also incredibly strong, with black energy covering his upper body, as if cast from steel. He also had a tattoo on his arm, depicting a crocodile-shelled turtle. He held a shield in his left hand and a large sword in his right.

Li Wei stood high in the sky, watching the two great knights clash with great interest.

Their battle also attracted many ordinary knights.

"That's the Halberd Knight, the genius of this generation of the Rhinoceros Beetle family. Although he only practices the excellent quality power breathing technique, he has great talent. He is only thirty years old now, but he is already at the level of a top-level Grand Knight."

"The other one is the Alligator Turtle Knight, who is also a very promising talent. Now that there are advancement potions, if nothing goes wrong in the future, they both have a chance to advance to legendary status." Dinos appeared beside Levi and explained.

"It seems my talent imprint has made good progress during these years of seclusion," Li Wei said with a smile.

"Yes, after Andrew broke through the 0 to 1 barrier, we applied the same principle to other areas and made breakthroughs in the Sword Fighting Mark and Phantom Mark, in addition to the Shield Mark."

However, so far, these are all just magical imprints. To align with the wizarding civilization, Andrew and I call them "Level Zero Imprints."

Having grown up in the Twilight Temple over the years, Dinos has become more mature and composed, with a gleam of wisdom in his eyes.

"That's already a remarkable achievement, very impressive," Li Wei exclaimed sincerely.

"So far, the Grand Knights within the Temple who excel in the three fundamental dimensions of defense, speed, and strength have all mastered their first talent mark. As for ordinary knights, their bloodline seed level is too low, and their blood energy is too thin, making it impossible for them to support the consumption of the mark," Dinos said.

Li Wei nodded and said, "If that's the case, in order to align with the wizarding civilization and for the convenience of our own internal management, we might need to redefine the traditional knightly ranks more reasonably."

Previously, the classification of knights' ranks was limited by the knights' perspective and the knowledge of mortals, making it too crude and simplistic, unlike the intuitive and systematic classification of wizard civilization.

Now that the Twilight Temple is leading the knights to forge a new path, it is natural that the nomenclature of the knight combat power system needs to be redefined.

"That makes sense. Do you have any ideas, Commander?" Dinos asked.

"The path of wizardry can currently be divided into three levels of apprentices, then from the first to the third level, and above the ninth level, it is called a legend!"

In terms of chivalry, before truly transcending to become a first-class Blood Awakened Knight, the traditional classification method is:

Knight Squire, Regular Knight, Grand Knight, Top Grand Knight... Regular Knights are further subdivided into four levels: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Peak.

In fact, all these levels are still within the scope of a wizard apprentice.

Therefore, my thought is:

A first-class knight, which is below Blood Awakening, is a trainee knight.

Apprentice knights are divided into three levels: low, medium, and high.

The first tier allows them to master at least one talent mark, initially acquiring the same power as a wizard apprentice. Furthermore, due to their combat skills and breathing techniques, their strength is no weaker than that of a low-level wizard apprentice.

The second and third tiers are divided based on the number of talent imprints mastered and the level of breathing techniques. The specific details of the division will need to be refined through your subsequent practice. What do you think?" Li Wei asked.

Upon hearing this, Dinos nodded: "I agree as well. This will make it much easier for the Temple to rate the knights in the future. After everyone has mastered more marks, we will conduct experiments and evaluations to eventually develop the standards for beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels."

Below, the battle between the halberd knight and the crocodile turtle knight had reached a fever pitch.

The two young knights each unleashed their talents.

A phantom of a halberd beast, over ten feet long, charged forward like a charging knight, unstoppable!

Meanwhile, the Alligator Turtle Knight raised his left arm, and the mark came to life in an instant, with a ferocious alligator-headed giant turtle appearing and roaring to the sky!

boom!

The giant tortoise was sent flying by the single horn; in the end, the halberd knight was the one who prevailed. He laughed heartily, feeling extremely pleased with himself.

The alligator turtle rider was hit by the aftershock and flew away with a muffled groan. The next moment, his thick body was caught by a strong hand, preventing him from falling flat on his face.

After regaining their footing, the alligator turtle knight was startled upon recognizing the owner of the large hand, and the other knights all bowed in salute.

The man had a resolute face with sharp features. He wore a jet-black demonic armor and a scarlet cloak. He was tall and imposing, with an aura that seemed to swallow the heavens!

"Greetings, Commander!"

Shouts rang out across the training ground, a deafening roar.

"You can continue."

Li Wei smiled, waved, and turned to leave.

The person, who was stuck at home with nowhere to show off, just wanted to flaunt his indestructible armor.

"I was actually saved by the captain! He just supported me by the back. This armor is ruined..." the Crocodile Turtle Knight murmured to himself, still unable to process what he had just witnessed.

What merit or ability did he, a mere Grand Knight, possess to be saved by the Temple Master, the Ancient Dragon Emperor, the supreme being and leader of the Knightly Way, the Ultimate Knight!

Meanwhile, Li Wei arrived at Andrew's research site and found that the young man had made great progress in both the way of chivalry and the way of wizardry, and his research results were increasing. Li Wei was very pleased!

He convened the 54th Round Table Meeting of the Twilight Knights.

The Middle-earth squad has already recruited some promising knights and plans to test them for a while before sending them to headquarters.

As for the Goddess Knight, she has advanced to the level of a second-circle wizard. She already had good talent and had been working in the wizarding world for a long time, so her advancement was a natural progression.

Darkmoon Knight has already reached the peak of Blood Awakening and is now a member of the Phantom Brand Research Group.

The Blood Knights of the Forsaken Lands seem to have had their own fortuitous encounters, significantly increasing their strength and providing the Temple with a great deal of information about the area.

The other knights each had their own fates.

During Li Wei's years of seclusion, the Temple and its members have all made progress.

After the meeting, he left the Ancient Saint Plane, having been in seclusion for far too long.

Now, it will be ten years before the Dark Tower opens, and he plans to master the Storm School's innate spells during this time.

Along the way, he was surrounded by roaring thunder dragons, moving at lightning speed, when suddenly the fluctuations of fighting came from below.

Li Wei sensed the approach and discovered a group of ugly cave wizards dressed in black robes.

They are attacking an island with a three-ring protective array that is constantly flashing, clearly unable to hold out.

"Looks like another wizarding organization has come to the human world," Li Wei thought to himself, his eyes suddenly darting around.

Within the magic circle, the figure of a blue-robed witch seemed somewhat familiar.

It's her.

This brought back memories of ninety years ago, to the days when he was cultivating his spirit in the mortal realm of the Yellow Earth Continent, when he was just a newbie at the peak of the second ring.
