Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 290 A Series of Successes! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

The endless sea.

Inner ring area.

Greenwater River Wizard Market.

The market's ruler was a common Ocean School wizard with five rings, named Deborah.

Today is the day of the annual "Green Water Auction".

Auction venue.

The host said with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, in order to improve the efficiency of our auction, this auction will be conducted in the form of a descending price auction. The first person to place a bid will directly acquire ownership of the auctioned item. If no one bids when the price reaches the bottom, the item will be unsold."

"Stop arguing and get started," said a wizard who was eager to buy the fourth-ring breakthrough potion.

It is said that there are potions for sale at this auction that can help people break through to the fourth ring, and most people have come for this purpose.

"The auction begins."

The first item brought up was a small, exquisitely decorated house, like a toy for children playing house.

"The first item up for auction, a four-ringed witch artifact, Minnie's Wonderland, has a starting price of 40 Taishi and a reserve price of 10 Taishi. If no one bids after reaching 10 Taishi, it will be an unsold item!"

This Minnie Mouse Clubhouse was bought by a customer who originally intended to breed extraordinary creatures, but the business failed.

I don't want it anymore and want to auction it off to make up for the loss.

Soon, the numbers on the counter began to drop from 40.

The price has been reduced to 30, but still no one is making an offer.

20, still nothing.

When the price reached 15, one customer couldn't resist any longer. He stood up, offered 15, and won the Minnie Mouse House.

Subsequently, one item after another was either sold or failed to sell at auction.

Ultimately, the final item, the four-ring breakthrough potion, sold for a staggering 60.

The auction had just ended, and everyone was about to leave.

The sky was filled with swirling clouds, as if a powerful being was about to descend.

"Hehehe, there are quite a few people here."

Four powerful fourth-circle wizards descended upon this place.

The leader was a witch whose aura had reached the fourth level of perfection.

She wore a coral-like crown and a gorgeous robe, like a queen.

The other three were male wizards, whose auras were clearly weaker than hers. They all appeared to be ordinary fourth-ring wizards or senior fourth-ring wizards.

At the auction, three fourth-circle wizards responsible for maintaining order flew out.

"The Four Monsters of the Nether Sea, the Coral Witch... it's them!" A white-robed wizard said gravely, "This Greenwater River Market is overseen by a Fifth Ring Wizard. Those who wanted to cause trouble can go back now!"

These four monsters of the Nether Sea are all dark wizards, and they constitute a top-tier dark wizard force in this inner ring region.

Its leader, the arrogant witch named "Coral Witch," is a powerful figure on the "Black Wizards' List" in the inner sea. Although she is ranked low on the list, those who can be on the "Black Wizards' List" are not ordinary people!

She was originally a witch in "Lilith's Hut," one of the six towers, a true "child of the water elemental"!

At the third and fourth ring stages, they mastered three innate spells.

This is definitely a wizard of the elite caliber, renowned among the younger generation in the Starry Sea.

Later, the Coral Witch achieved perfect mental power and confidently broke through to the fifth ring.

No one thought she would fail.

However, the final result is self-evident!

She failed; a genius fell.

That failed breakthrough severely damaged the Coral Witch's mental power. Although she recovered later, it made it difficult for her to ever touch the Five Realms again in her lifetime.

The snobs who had once gathered around her because of her status and talent all turned away coldly. Even her fiancé from the Letney family, who possessed special talents, announced the annulment of the engagement!

Amidst endless ridicule and sarcasm, she never encountered her own "grandpa".

The Coral Witch turned to the dark side, unleashing her true self and becoming a dark wizard, roaming freely in this sea for over a decade.

He relied on his status as the "Child of Elements," his "Six Talent Spells," his "Perfect-Level Mental Power," and his original identity as the "Six Towers Genius."

Among those below the Fifth Ring Road, her strength is arguably among the strongest, enough to rival even ordinary Fifth Ring Road members. It's said she has evaded capture by Fifth Ring Road law enforcement on several occasions.

She even calls herself a "half-step to the fifth ring" wizard, creating an extremely funny and comical "half-step to the fifth ring" realm directly between the fourth and fifth rings!

Afterwards, she gathered three fourth-ring dark wizards and established the "Four Monsters of the Dark Sea" organization, engaging in lawless activities in this inner ring sea area.

The Coral Witch revealed a wicked smile: "Don't bluff. I dared to come because I know that old bastard Deborah is in seclusion. Hand over all your valuables obediently, and you can avoid some physical suffering! So what if Deborah is here? Before I failed to break through, he had to call me Lady Coral and treat me as an equal."

"You... I think you've messed up your brain after failing to break through! Do you really think our Green River Market is easy to bully! Everyone participating in the auction, we are all in this together, sharing both glory and loss. The Black Wizard is arrogant and domineering. If you stand by and do nothing, you'll only hurt yourselves. Let's all take action! With so many of us, are we afraid we can't beat four people?" the white-robed wizard hurriedly called out.

"A rabble." The Coral Witch sneered, and in an instant, her innate spell, Jellyfish Barrier, descended!

A giant purple jellyfish enveloped the three fourth-circle wizards in the market.

"I'm going to take on three!" she said with a smirk.

The three fourth-circle wizards in the market had a drastic change in expression. After being enveloped by the Coral Witch's barrier force field, they felt that the flow of their magical power was actually somewhat stagnant.

"Oh no, this is some kind of rare field spell that inflicts a negative status effect!" a wizard exclaimed.

"Too late, they're all going to die!!" The Coral Witch fought three men single-handedly, holding her own, her bravery was simply unparalleled!

The other three dark wizards, like wolves among sheep, charged towards the lower-ranking wizards or third-ring wizards below.

The battle was fierce, and these rogue sorcerers were unable to unite to fight the enemy. Like cattle on the grassland encountering a wild beast, they scattered and fled in panic.

Ten minutes later.

"withdraw!"

The Coral Witch, accompanied by her followers and laden with storage items, quickly left the Greenwater River Wizard Market.

Although she threatened to kill everyone present, that would inevitably take a lot of time, and the Coral Witch was worried that the law enforcement officers would arrive at any moment, so she certainly couldn't stay here for long.

At the venue.

a mess.

Of the three wizards who were maintaining order, one died, two escaped without a trace, and the other wizards also suffered heavy casualties, though most of them managed to escape.

At this moment, somewhere on the seabed.

A short-haired wizard in white robes sat cross-legged among them, his silver hair flowing, his face unremarkable, the kind of appearance that one would easily forget.

As the mysterious serpentine runes on his body flickered, the hermit's runes connected with the power of the stars.

He vanished from his spot, chasing after the four dark wizards who had fled in the direction they had gone. This man was none other than Li Wei, who had changed his appearance.

Twenty minutes earlier, he had said goodbye to the Knight of Flowers, and then, following the map, he went directly to the nearest wizard market.

In fact, Li Wei didn't expect to encounter any dark wizards in the forty minutes he had; he was just trying his luck.

He couldn't possibly release some truly valuable treasures, like the Dark Tower Key, to lure the dark wizard into a trap. Doing so would only result in catching a big fish that he couldn't handle, which would be tantamount to courting death.

But after he arrived, perhaps due to the luck boost from the Lover's Rune, he actually stumbled upon a dark wizard robbing people.

Moreover, there were four fourth-ring dark wizards, so out of caution, he did not rush to make a move.

Firstly, there are many people and eyes around here, and I can't expose my abilities in public. If some people with ulterior motives find out, I'll never have peace again.

Secondly, he had heard of the leader of the four dark wizards, the Coral Witch. She was a top-tier dark wizard below the fifth ring, much stronger than the "Fire Wolf Wizard," and seemed to be a "super-first-class" fourth-ring powerhouse.

Taking this opportunity, he observed from the sidelines and also learned about the Coral Witch's strength.

Now is the perfect time to take action.

the other side.

The Coral Witch and her men had arrived at a deserted area of ​​the sea. Seeing that no one was around, they were preparing to dive into the seabed.

Suddenly, the Coral Witch's expression changed, and a figure appeared in the void beside her.

He was surrounded by swirling winds, and almost as if he were teleporting, he quickly arrived in front of the Coral Witch and slashed with his sword, the sword energy sweeping across the area!

The Coral Witch's protective field flickered, with layers upon layers of coral reefs protecting her!

click!

click!

A terrifying shockwave explosion!

The Coral Witch's force field shattered, and taking advantage of this opportunity, she unleashed her fourth-circle magical artifact!

A harpoon-shaped magical weapon flew through the air, its surface shimmering with black light, clearly indicating it was highly poisonous.

At the same time, corals rapidly grew from beneath the attacker's feet, entwining and controlling him.

But the man neither dodged nor avoided it. The magical artifact suddenly stopped in the void around him, unable to advance an inch. A protective barrier composed of flower petals suddenly appeared, blocking the magical artifact!

The protective barrier only showed the slightest ripples.

This greatly alarmed the Coral Witch. With her perfected fourth-ring cultivation, the attack power of her fourth-ring magical artifact should be enough to withstand even the protective force field of a fifth-ring wizard. Could this person be a primordial spirit?

No, that's impossible. It should just be some kind of five-ring magical artifact or a protective force field of a special treasure!

As she fought back, she asked, "I have no grudge against you, neither from the past nor from the present. Why did you attack me? Are you a law enforcement officer?"

"It's everyone's responsibility to fight against dark wizards! Every law-abiding wizard can be a law enforcer! This is illegal, come with me to turn yourself in!" Li Wei continued his attack while speaking with righteous indignation!

"What do you mean everyone has a responsibility? I think you're trying to double-cross me! You were probably hiding in the Greenwater River Wizard Market just now, why didn't you make your move then, and why are you only making your move now?" the Coral Witch said.

"So noisy!"

Li Wei unleashed another sword strike, tearing through the sea surface, which the Coral Witch barely managed to dodge.

At the same time, the other three fourth-ring wizards quickly attacked Li Wei.

Li Wei gave the order.

Phoenix, the Blood Armored Corpse Demon, the Strange Insect, and Levi's deep blue clone all appeared, surrounding the three fourth-circle wizards from all directions, so that Levi could concentrate on dealing with the Coral Witch!

"You...you came prepared!" The Coral Witch's face hardened. "Don't think you can be so arrogant just because you have a fifth-ring artifact! I'll show you what it means to be half-step into the fifth ring!"

Even a clay figure has a temper; the Coral Witch was furious when she was inexplicably betrayed!

Li Wei sneered inwardly.

Half a step to the Fifth Ring Road? I'm even at the "Peak Perfection of Half a Step to the Fifth Ring Road" level!

This witch is quite a talent, creating her own realm... The fourth ring is the fourth ring, and the fifth ring is the fifth ring. There is no such thing as a half-step fifth-level realm!

Despite the Coral Witch's relentless attacks, the flower barrier surrounding Li Wei remained as stable as a mountain.

However, for safety reasons, Li Wei still added several layers of protection, just in case.

Flames erupted from his jet-black demonic armor, flowing into the Crimson Dragon Iron Cutter in his hand.

At the same time, crimson flames also coiled around it.

Two level-four flames intertwined and entwined, accompanied by another slam of his sword, and roared away!

Two dragons playing with a pearl!

boom!

A small mushroom cloud shot into the sky, with black and red flames exploding and reflecting two colors onto the sky.

Click.

Click.

The Coral Witch's force field shattered, and cracks also appeared in her other four-ring defensive artifact.

"How is this possible? This is a fifth-ring attack! How many fifth-ring magical artifacts do you have? What faction do you belong to?" The Coral Witch was utterly desperate at this moment.

She considered herself a chosen one, and even though her genius had fallen, she was still far superior to ordinary fourth-ring wizards.

But the fourth-ring wizard before him, with his impenetrable defense and all-destroying flames, was beyond his imagination.

Li Wei did not answer her; instead, he took advantage of her illness to kill her.

Wind Dragon Swift activated again, vanishing from its spot and transforming into a phantom as it charged towards the Coral Witch.

At the same time, Fire Dragon Calamity pointed out, blocking her movement! Water Dragon Roar let out a long howl and suddenly emerged from the sea, entangling the Coral Witch!

Another attack, "Double Dragons Playing with a Pearl," also came along with the sword energy.

Once again, after a massive explosion, the protective magical artifact on the coral woman shattered completely.

She was severely injured and had no strength left to fight.

If she hadn't exhausted herself fighting three men alone at the market, she might have been able to hold on a little longer.

"I can give you a chance to live..." Li Wei said calmly, pointing his sword at the Coral Witch.

Meanwhile, Phoenix and his group, with the help of the Deep Blue clone, had captured the other three fourth-ring wizards. One of them died in the battle after self-destructing, while the other two were beaten half to death and awaited Levi's disposal.

Considering that the Seven Kings Hell Formation requires a gatekeeper, Li Wei will not indiscriminately kill fourth-circle wizards now. If he can subdue them, it will definitely be the way to maximize his benefits.

"Ridiculous, pity me? I, the Coral Witch, have never been without my glory." She was still stubborn, basking in her past honor, but her trembling body betrayed her.

"Since that's the case, then die. I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it." Li Wei's longsword pierced the Coral Witch's chest, and blood gushed out. Feeling her life slipping away, the Coral Witch's fear of death began to grow infinitely.

In her dying moments, she realized that there is truly nothing in this world more terrifying than death... Of all the hardships throughout history, death is the only one!

Her emotions suddenly crumbled. This proud, fourth-circle perfected wizard trembled violently, tears streaming down her face as she cried out, "Please...don't kill me! I want to live! I don't want to die!"

A smile appeared on Li Wei's lips. He drew his longsword, and his palm suddenly turned into a blood mist. The blood mist surged into the witch's chest, like the most precise scalpel in the world, repairing her broken heart and bringing her back from the brink of death.

Then, he cast some low-level spells from the Life School he had learned, such as "Healing," on her, and the Coral Witch's pale face finally regained some color and vitality.

"It's better to live a wretched life than to die a good death. Sauron said he would give every dark wizard a chance to repent. Now, under my longsword, swear allegiance to me as I ask, and you will begin a new life." Levi's seductive voice said, and the Aries-shaped lover rune flashed in his mind, adding a lot of charm to his life!

"Alright." The Coral Witch, who had just faced death, nodded and finally swore an oath under the Sword of Oath.

Li Wei was in a good mood and approached the two fourth-circle wizards.

"Your boss is now one of my men. You should be smart enough to understand what to do next." His voice was indifferent.

"We understand, we understand, and we are willing to swear allegiance to you and become your wizard servants!"

After forming contracts with the other two in the same manner, Li Wei put away his spoils of war without even checking them, and then sent them to the Wizard of Oz, leaving Leon and his other men to watch over them.

"This Sword of Contracts is too powerful. It's bound to form contracts with so many people, yet it doesn't seem to reach its limit? Could it possibly continue forming contracts indefinitely?"

Li Wei murmured to himself, glancing at the flower barrier surrounding his body.

"Only ten minutes left... Let's stop this nonsense and get out of here quickly. We still need to catch the narwhal."

Li Wei soared into the sky, his scarlet cloak billowing, and flew toward the coordinates of the great narwhal.

He promised to send the Knight of Flowers into the Nightmare World.

However, he himself has never been inside, and he is currently unsure how to bring people in; it will require some time to study.

Moreover, although the Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique is very slow to master, after such a long period of intense practice, he has barely reached the edge of advancing to the fourteenth level.

Given the quality of the Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique, advancing to the fourteenth rank should be a natural progression, and there's no need for advancement potions.

Li Wei's idea was to wait until his Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique leveled up another level before taking the Hundred Flowers Knight into the Nightmare World.

This will significantly increase your ability to survive.

He preferred to trust himself, even though the Knight of Flowers was a spirit wizard, he couldn't completely rely on others.

While on his journey, Li Wei suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

"What's going on... that Coral Witch doesn't have any other accomplices, and she's long since severed ties with Lilith's Hut." Li Wei had already inquired about these details after the contract was signed, which is why he felt comfortable taking them with him.

The next moment, ripples appeared in the shadows behind Li Wei.

At the same time, two powerful auras were rapidly approaching from afar.

"The Fifth Ring? Damn it! Why did they have to come when the Flower Barrier only had five minutes left?" Li Wei thought to himself, speechless.

Although the Flower Barrier made Li Wei almost invincible under his soul, the problem was that with his attack power, it was impossible for him to kill three fifth-ring wizards within five minutes.

If the barrier disappears, won't I be doomed?

Moreover, those two auras didn't seem like ordinary fifth rings!

So without even thinking, he took out the Fire Ouroboros!

The portal opened, and I found a direction with a wide field of vision.

He stepped into it and vanished in an instant, covering a thousand miles!

Immediately afterwards, he activated Crimson Escape, transforming into a red light and rushing towards the human world.

With the added endurance from the "Wind and Thunder" Dharma Form, Li Wei's Crimson Escape flight time this time far exceeded that of the past.

In no time at all, he flew over several inner ring areas, crossing countless mountains and rivers. Back when he was on the third ring road, it would have taken him a whole day to fly there.

At the same time, above Li Wei's escape light, a purple lightning bolt was flashing, which was Soret, who was planning to find someone to make a witch artifact.

He frowned as he looked down at the light, muttering to himself, "This aura feels familiar. Well, I can't cause any more trouble now. I need to make my fifth-ring artifact first, otherwise my strength will be greatly reduced, and I won't be able to fight against the other fifth-ring cultivators in the Dark Tower."

He didn't linger, but quickly flew forward.

After such a long period of life on the run, he became more and more cautious, completely different from the arrogant and self-important Soret he once was!

And so, Levi and Soret passed each other by!

Once they reached a safe place, Li Wei did not relax. He quickly set up a magic array around them.

At the same time, he looked at the shadow behind him.

"nightmare!"

boom!

In the blink of an eye, the area where Li Wei was located was completely dark! His shadow also disappeared, as if something had crawled out of his shadow.

Li Wei's entire body glowed with an energy field, layer upon layer, and black and red flames intertwined on the Crimson Dragon Iron in his hand, with the image of two dragons playing with a pearl appearing once again.

This time, his direction was none other than the ground beneath his feet!

boom!

A terrifying explosion swept through the dark night.

A sharp, painful cry suddenly rang out: "Are you insane? Throwing such an unstable explosive attack right at your feet, do you want to die? You... how did you know I was here?"

As the night disappeared, a humanoid shadow appeared before Li Wei, resembling the Black Organization from Detective Conan.

Upon seeing the shadow's face, Li Wei activated all his protective force fields and unleashed his Crimson Dragon Iron-Slaying Sword Qi, charging forward relentlessly!

"Shadow Wolf, Matthias!"

Matthias was recognized. He dodged Levi's sword strike and said, "Knowing I'm the branch leader of the Shadow Ring, you still dare to attack me? Do you know the consequences?"

"You hid in my shadow, harboring ill intentions, and deserve to die!" A terrifying sword aura shot towards Matthias.

The opponent only dodged and did not attack. Li Wei could tell that something was wrong with his current state.

"Stop, stop! I was hiding in your shadow, I meant no harm. I was just using you to escape. I was being hunted by that damned mysterious organization and was forced to use a secret technique to escape. You must have seen all that. I'm not lying to you," Matthias suddenly said.

He then added, "If I had any ill intentions towards you, I would have already made my move while you were running for your life, wouldn't you say?"

Li Wei's attacks continued relentlessly. A sword aura struck the figure, tearing it apart. The shadow shattered like a mirror, scattering across the sky.

Then, these fragments reassembled to form the figure of Mattias.

"You can't kill me. I'm a shadow now. Can you kill a shadow?" Mattias said.

The next moment, Li Wei released Lyon.

"Leon, is this edible?" he asked.

The monstrous insect, Leon, flapped its wings, its scorpion tail gleaming coldly.

"Master, it's edible, it smells delicious."

The next moment, Leon let out a howl and pounced on Matthias.

Mattias's expression changed, a strong sense of crisis washing over him.

He knew that even in his shadow form, he would most likely be eaten by this ugly insect!

In fact, he was not a "shadow" at all. The so-called shadow was something he created by using a secret method to separate his soul and spiritual power from his body.

Today, he went to the Greenwater Wizarding Market to discuss a collaboration with Dilabor, who would provide the potions, while Dilabor, as the market manager, would use his position to expand channels and markets within the market.

Who would have thought that he would encounter members of that mysterious organization again on the way?

Following the Neptune City Star Auction incident 20 years ago, many of the original participants were attacked by a mysterious organization.

Sixteen years ago, Shadow Wolf was assassinated in Jinwang City. He escaped by chance, but was seriously injured.

He had finally recovered from his injuries and lived peacefully for over a decade, thinking he was safe. But unexpectedly, today, he encountered that group of people again.

Moreover, this time there were two of them, and he was fighting two against one. In the end, he was at a disadvantage. In order to escape, he used his innate spell, Shadow Follower, to hide in the shadow behind Li Wei and teleport short distances in this way.

Unexpectedly, this guy ran quite fast, and even had a teleportation portal, which allowed him to travel thousands of miles away. Then, he ran wildly and evaded the pursuit of the mysterious organization members.

He never expected that a mere fourth-circle wizard could discover him hiding in his shadow.

Facing a level 5 expert, Li Wei dared not be careless. He was surrounded by innate magic, his three Dharma bodies emerged, and his bloodline Dharma body also appeared behind him.

When he just dealt with that coral witch, Li Wei didn't even use half of his strength.

Now, he's unleashing his full power, causing Matthias, a senior wizard of the Fifth Ring, to flee in terror.

He no longer had a physical body; only his shadow followed Li Wei to escape. Unable to use any offensive spells, he was naturally no match for Li Wei.

Ultimately, Matthias was captured by Lyon.

"Don't kill me! I can give you my fifth-circle magical artifact and my fifth-circle apothecary skills! I don't have these things on me, and you can't get them by killing me."

Matthias panicked completely. He hadn’t expected the fourth-circle wizard he had casually possessed to be so powerful!

Li Wei asked Lyon to hold back for now. He looked at the stable and unshakable Holy Tower of the Ring in his mind and intuitively felt that this guy shouldn't be able to do anything like possession.

"Tell me, where is it?" Li Wei asked.

"You have to sign a contract with me and not hurt me, otherwise even if I tell you, you still won't let me go, so I might as well not tell you," Matthias said.

"Then you might as well die. If it eats you, you won't even have a chance to be reincarnated. You'd better think it through," Li Wei said with a sneer.

At the same time, a suction force came from Lyon's mouth, and Matthias's soul began to twist, about to be sucked in.

"I'll talk, I'll talk... I won't sign a contract with you. I just beg you to let me go, and let's rely on the trust between us, okay?" Matthias said. If he didn't agree now, he would die immediately. He wanted to tell Levi that if Levi was in a good mood, he might still have a chance to live.

"Okay, tell me, where is it?" Li Wei asked calmly.

"In one of my secluded residences in the inner ring area," Matthias said.

"Are you kidding me? Normal wizards would carry their valuables with them at all times. After all, they have storage devices. It's safer to keep them at home than to carry them with you." Li Wei sneered, looking like he was about to make a move again.

"I'm not lying to you. Ever since I was targeted by that mysterious organization, I've rarely gone out. I even moved out of the Shadow Ring branch and live alone with my family. To prevent my assets from falling into the wrong hands when I die, I've kept a portion of them at home so they can be passed down to my descendants," Matthias said with a very sincere expression.

"Send me the coordinates of the stronghold," Li Wei said.

"Okay, I hope you'll let me and my family go after you get what you want... At the very least, don't hurt my family, they're innocent." Matthias's voice was low, as if he knew Levi would definitely use him and then discard him, and he had given up all hope.

Li Wei was silent for a moment, then said, "I didn't expect you to be so good to your family. I'll see how things go."

"Thank you. Actually, even if you killed me, I wouldn't have any complaints. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to escape from those people."

"Stop nagging."

"OK."

……

Levi sat in the airship, while Phoenix piloted the boat.

He wasn't in a hurry to go; instead, he frantically took various potions to recover from the aftereffects of using Crimson Escape.

As for the shadow that Matthias had become, it had been locked up by Levi using various restrictive spells and magic circles, and was being held captive by Leon.

Lyon was incredibly tempted, but he couldn't eat the food that was almost in his mouth.

Approximately seven days later.

Levi's body had almost fully recovered, and they arrived at Matthias's secret hideout.

"Please make sure no one is following us. I don't want them to find us here. My family is very important to me," Matthias said.

"No," Li Wei said.

On a seemingly deserted island, Li Wei's eyes gleamed as he calmly remarked, "There's a magic array."

"Yes, this was set up by someone I hired. It seems you are also a magic array wizard... I never expected there to be a monster like you in the Endless Sea. I have no regrets about dying at your hands," Matthias said.

The magic circle was only a fourth-ring magic circle. Matthias explained the incantation to Livy to activate the magic circle.

However, Li Wei broke the magic circle in no time using his own method, and Matthias watched all of this in silence.

"You're really cautious. My spell is real." He suddenly gave a helpless, bitter smile.

Li Wei remained silent, gazing at everything within the magic circle, where a black wizard's tower stood.

Matthias was carried here by Leon.

"Please remove the spellcasting restriction for me so I can open the wizard tower... I'm about to die, don't worry, I won't hurt you," he said sincerely.

These days, his shadow has been fading, and now he looks like a candle in the wind, easily destroyed.

That's because the soul and spiritual power that make up the shadow are constantly dissipating. If they don't return to his body soon, he will vanish into nothingness.

"Where are your family members?" Li Wei asked with a smile.

"Oh... they probably went out to play. That's good, they won't know you killed me, and they won't be able to seek revenge on you in the future. You also don't need to worry about being retaliated against and killing them too, right?" Mattias said, somewhat sadly.

Li Wei's sword energy swept across, cleaving through all the magic arrays and restrictions outside the wizard tower, and neatly cutting the wizard tower in half.

"You..." Matthias hesitated, then sighed repeatedly. How could there be such a cautious and suspicious person?

"I originally had two fifth-ring magical artifacts. One was mainly for combat, called the Shadow Wolf Blade. When I was being chased, I self-destructed it to save my life. The other fifth-ring magical artifact was called Gargamel's Book of Seals, which could be used to seal some pets for fun. I sealed a level four peak Shadow Wyvern inside. This is a hybrid dragon that only exists in the Shadow Plane, and it is very valuable, even more valuable than ordinary fifth-ring magical artifacts... I'm giving both of these to you."

On the desk in the lab is a book called "The Secret Book of Potions," a legacy of apothecaries left by a famous fifth-circle wizard. You probably already know the value of this, so I don't need to elaborate.

These are my last possessions; everything else was with my body, and now those people have taken it all. Matthias's voice grew increasingly mournful.

Soon, the Blood Armored Corpse Demon emerged carrying two books.

One book was black and incredibly thick, titled "The Secret Book of Potions." The other was blood red, more like a thin photo album than a book, with only five pages. The other pages were blank, except for a drawing of a ferocious black winged dragon on the fourth page, which must be "Gargamel's Book of Seals."

"Please remove my spellcasting restrictions. I will tell you the incantation and method for using the Book of Seals. This thing is very rare. I had to pay a great price to have someone else successfully identify it," Matthias said.

Seeing that Li Wei still seemed hesitant, he continued, "Young man, I won't harm you. My secret technique can only keep my soul here for seven days, and today is the last day. Besides, I'm not a soul wizard, and I can't possess other bodies. I don't even know what you've been wary of these past few days..."

After thinking for a moment, Li Wei released Matthias's spellcasting restriction.

Matthias will use the spell to tell Levi, then say, "Try it. If I've lied to you, you can kill me right now, torture me, let me die in agony, and prevent me from being reincarnated!"

With Li Wei's knowledge as a fourth-level weapon refiner, he naturally knew that it was not fake.

Just then, Li Wei's mouth opened slightly, as if he was about to recite a spell.

Matthias's shadow suddenly exploded, along with all the restrictions on it, which vanished in the explosion.

At the same time, Matthias's soul transformed into a black light and swiftly headed towards Li Wei's brow.

"Hahaha, your body is mine now!"

Matthias's spirit appeared in Levi's mind.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Accompanied by three resounding, grand sounds.

His soul instantly faded, and all his former imposing aura vanished.

"The Ring of Law... the Holy Tower, how is this possible? Isn't that something only a Yuan Soul can possess?"

Matthias stood there, muttering to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief!

His secret technique allows him to store his soul and spiritual power in a "shadow" for seven days.

Within seven days, he must either "possess" another body or return to his own to survive.

Initially, he had no intention of possessing Li Wei's body; he had already crafted a five-ring-level husk for himself. Therefore, he did not take action along the way, only thinking about escaping the crisis, dealing with Li Wei, and then returning to the five-ring-level husk he had crafted.

However, after being discovered by Li Wei, in the subsequent game between them, he discovered that this person's methods were extremely extraordinary. He cultivated both body refinement and magic, and his magic belonged to multiple schools, which meant that he had great talent.

This seemingly four-ring body is actually better than his five-ring body, and has unlimited potential for the future!

Therefore, from the moment he tempted Li Wei with the witchcraft artifacts and apothecary heritage from his own home, he had been plotting to possess Li Wei's body.

He could tell that Li Wei was very cautious. He was not a Yuanhun Wizard, and his soul was only slightly stronger than Li Wei's. If he were to attempt to possess Li Wei while he was being cautious, the success rate would be very low.

He was looking for a moment when Li Wei would be off guard before attempting to possess him.

This wait lasted for seven days!

During this time, he used various acting skills and words to try to make Li Wei lower his guard.

He tried to portray himself as someone whose words were kind even on his deathbed.

Family and such are nonexistent; it's just a way to make one's image more genuine and complete.

However, Li Wei remained unmoved by reason, but he still had one last trick up his sleeve.

That is, the moment Li Wei receives his sorcery artifacts and apothecary inheritance, he will definitely lower his guard.

So he tricked Li Wei into opening the spell barrier for him, and then told Li Wei the incantation.

Then, taking advantage of this opportunity, he activated his final secret technique to possess her body!

But despite all his scheming, he never expected that Li Wei had the Holy Tower of the Rings in his mind.

He never expected that Li Wei had already sensed his hostility through his danger perception and was simply playing along with his act.

As the bells inside the tower continued to toll, Matthias's soul grew increasingly faint.

"I am from the Shadow Ring, and my teacher is a Soul Wizard... You can't kill me," he pleaded.

The next moment, his soul was jolted out of Levi's mind and swallowed whole by Leon.

"Wow, this is really delicious! I've been craving it for seven days, Master!" After finishing his meal, Leon happily circled around Levi.

Now, Li Wei will only feel at ease after confirming that the enemy's soul has been devoured by Leon.

After killing Lady Ghost, Li Wei, while reading some professional books on the school of death, learned that some wizards in the school of death seemed to know the kind of magic that allowed them to question the "dead" and track down the killer by relying on the "souls of the dead".

This made him even more vigilant and cautious in killing; whenever he killed someone, he had to handle the matter thoroughly.

"To be fair, Matthias's acting was really good." Levi put away his spoils for the time being; now was not the time to examine and study them.

He searched the wizard's tower again, collecting Matthias's collection of books, including the spell crystal balls he had left at home, and some of the Great Stone.

In addition, there was a corpse submerged in a transparent container, covered with tubes. Although it was dead, Li Wei could sense that the corpse must have been a fifth-circle wizard in life!

He decided to move the entire laboratory into his ring and go back to study it.

"There really are wizards who keep valuables at home. I only feel safe carrying them on my person," Li Wei thought to himself.

As he left, Li Wei used flames to purify everything until the entire island was scorched into molten lava, completely erasing all traces.

He left this place and quickly flew towards the human world.

Half a month later, he returned to the Ancient Saint Plane. As soon as he entered the Seven Kings Hell Formation, a sense of security washed over him, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Here, even if a fifth-ring wizard came, he would have the strength to fight.

He lay paralyzed on the bed in the Imperial Palace, resting and recuperating for a month before the aftereffects of the Crimson Escape completely disappeared.

Upon waking, Li Wei held the Endless Poster newspaper that had been delivered to him and discovered that the headline was related to the Knight of Flowers.

Today, Elena, the Flower Witch of the Witch's House, and Mutrel, the Golden Prince of the Lightney Family, clashed in the Endless Sea for a key to a dark ancient tower. Just as the Flower Witch emerged victorious, she was met with interference from the veteran powerhouse, the Molten Gold Witch King, the Minister of Law Enforcement. The Flower Witch's admirers expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Molten Gold Witch King's bullying behavior, and the Witch's House also strongly condemned it! The Molten Gold Witch King later stated that in the struggle for opportunities, the capable should win, and there is no such thing as bullying the weak; the Witch's House can do the same.

"You old bastard, shameless!" Li Wei couldn't help but curse upon seeing the message.
