Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 292 Advancement! Nightmare Lord! (Long chapter, please vote and subscribe!)

Li Wei——————

Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique: 14th Rank (1/600,000), Special Effects: Nightmare Perception (Level 6), Danger Perception, Nightmare Lord, Heart of the Heavenly Wind; Bloodline Avatar: None; Exclusive Weapon: None

……

Of the six dimensions, the perception dimension is arguably the most difficult to cultivate, bar none.

Whether it's collecting the breathing techniques themselves or searching for secret medicines.

Li Wei put in a lot more effort.

After a long period of time.

From the initial acquisition of the "Human-faced Spider Breathing Technique" to the current fourteenth level of the "Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique," over a hundred years have passed.

After advancing to the second stage of Blood Origin, the Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique underwent some changes.

One is the enhancement of "nightmare perception" ability, expanding its range and accuracy.

On the other hand, the previous special effect "Nightmare Traveler" has been changed to "Nightmare Lord".

The Nightmare Lord has three main functions, which Li Wei refers to as follows:

【Nightmare Descends】, 【Nightmare Traveler】, 【Nightmare Lord】.

【Nightmare Descends】No need for further explanation. After casting, darkness descends, and Li Wei can activate Nightmare Form and create illusions.

The Nightmare Traveler can enter the Nightmare World in two ways, and can also bring things out by consuming Nightmare Power. (See Chapter 250 for details)

The third type of Nightmare Lord has even more powerful functions.

Nightmare Lord: The Nightmare Dragon blood within you allows you to choose a fixed location in the Nightmare World as your territory.

The Nightmare World is ruled by numerous Nightmare Lords, some of whom are as powerful as gods. To become a lord, you need a territory within the Nightmare World, which you can obtain by either pledging allegiance to a powerful Nightmare Lord and receiving a title, or by assassinating the lord.

Once you become a Nightmare Lord, you can use your territory as an "anchor" between the Prime Material Plane and the Nightmare World. From then on, whenever someone enters the Nightmare World, your Nightmare clone will appear in your territory.

You can use Nightmare Dragon Power or Nightmare Crystals to invite friends from the Prime Material Plane to your territory, creating a Nightmare Avatar for each friend. The stronger the invitee, the more Nightmare Dragon Power or Nightmare Crystals are required; otherwise, the invitee's power will be unleashed upon entering the Nightmare World. The death of the invitee's Nightmare Avatar will not affect their original body. All invited Nightmare Avatars will automatically dissipate after you leave the Nightmare World.

Similarly, as a Nightmare Lord, you also need to be constantly on guard against intrusions from other lords or wanderers.

Before acquiring territory, you can establish a temporary territory in the Chaotic Wasteland of the Nightmare World as your refuge. However, the Chaotic Wasteland is resource-poor and inhabited by many powerful and unruly Nightmare creatures, as well as travelers from the Prime Material Plane heading to the Nightmare World, making your territory extremely unsafe.

After seeing the Nightmare Lord's introduction, Li Wei already understood.

From the initial Nightmare Walker, to the advanced Nightmare Traveler, and now to the Nightmare Lord.

As the Nightmare bloodline grew stronger, Li Wei's status and position also continued to rise.

"Being a lord, huh? That's my old profession," Li Wei sighed, recalling his experiences in the human world.

"Now I can confirm that I can bring the Hundred Flowers Knight into the Nightmare World, but it will consume the power of the Nightmare Dragon. With my current Nightmare Dragon power, I don't know if I can pull her in. As for Nightmare Crystals, I do have quite a few."

Li Wei raised his hand, and a large pile of gray crystals appeared in his palm.

These are remnants he left behind after killing the "Corrupted" in the secret realm and in the Ash World.

The Corrupted are essentially nightmare creatures, and the Spider-Man is also a Corrupted being, only more powerful.

Li Wei had given Owens quite a few of these nightmare crystals for his cultivation.

"Now that the Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique has reached level fourteen, that Nightmare Crown Lizard is completely useless and can retire. After all, I'm not some great villain; I retire when it's time to retire. Anyone who works for me can only retire early, not delay it!"

Li Wei arrived at the Giant Beast Park and had Melina find a place for the lizard to retire.

After that, it could escape its misery and no longer be exploited by Li Wei, and its life suddenly became sweet.

This also means that if Li Wei does not find a more suitable alternative, his Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique will almost come to a standstill. Theoretically, he could grind it out using the proficiency panel, but that would be too inefficient and would seriously affect his practice of other breathing techniques, which would be a losing proposition.

Similarly, it's time to start preparing nightmare metal or similar materials for forging divine weapons.

Li Wei suddenly realized that if the Hundred Flowers Knight could really kill the human-faced spider, he might be able to forge a divine weapon using the materials left behind by this elemental soul-level creature.

It might even be more effective than regular nightmare metal!

After breaking through to the fourteenth level of the Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique, Li Wei did not immediately go to find the Hundred Flowers Knight.

He then spent several more days stabilizing his cultivation level and refining potions.

The first day of the Primordial Moon in the year 1160 of the Holy Radiance Calendar.

The list of participants for Li Wei's trip to the Dark Tower has been preliminarily finalized.

Puppet Team: Poison Fire Corpse Demon, Tyrant IV, Blood Armor Corpse Demon – these three are a must.

Among them, the pilots of the three puppets, Mind Flayer, Phoenix, and Blood Lady, also thought of a way to bring them in: the Necronomicon!

According to Li Wei's research, the Necronomicon can seal any supernatural being of the spirit type.

Lady Blood is a hellish undead, so there's definitely no problem with her.

Mind Flayers, though demons, are also without physical form. They are spiritual beings of a higher level than ordinary spirits, which is why they need to reside in other people's bodies. Theoretically, they can be sealed inside.

Phoenix is ​​similar; he is a fire elemental, but one with "activity" and "spirit," making him a more advanced "spiritual being."

Of course, these are all just Li Wei's guesses. Whether the Mind Flayer and Phoenix can actually get in remains to be seen after he refines the Necronomicon.

If possible, given the current level 4 top-grade level of the [Necronomicon], it should be able to barely seal six level 4 artifact spirits.

In this way, Li Wei appeared to have gone in alone, but in reality, he also brought a group of level-four subordinates with him to sneak in, which greatly enhanced his strength.

He believed that not only himself, but also people within those large organizations were using this method to smuggle themselves out.

However, such magical artifacts that can be smuggled out are extremely rare, and the manufacturing techniques have been lost, making them impossible to popularize.

And the Extraordinary Creatures Group.

Leon, Raja, Night Fang, Crimson Nether Bird, and Fiery Blood Earth Dragon Beast were the animals Li Wei initially decided to bring in.

However, he has not yet made them recognize the Dark Tower Keys as their owners. In case there are new developments in the next five years, the saved keys can be exchanged for a huge amount of Taishi.

"Unbeknownst to me, I'm already 170 years old. Time flies, and before I know it, I'm a two-hundred-year-old immortal."

Li Wei ate a bowl of "heluo" noodles, a longevity noodle dish from his memories, by himself, which was one of the few rituals he could perform.

After doing all this, he arrived at the Twilight Temple.

Today is the day of the Knights' 59th Round Table Meeting.

It also marks the eleventh anniversary of the founding of the Middle-earth Knights, a branch of the Twilight Temple.

Over the past decade, the Knights of Middle-earth have grown steadily, from a group of four at the beginning to now having over a hundred knights.

It should be noted that the Twilight Temple headquarters in the human world has only grown to about five hundred people so far.

It can only be said that Middle-earth is indeed rich in resources.

Before this roundtable meeting, the Goddess Knight led the talented wizard and knight prospectives recruited by the Middle-earth team over the past ten years to the Twilight Temple.

Today, these newcomers will meet the legendary leader and solemnly take a sacred oath under the leader's sword!

Before the temple at dusk.

One by one, the knights or wizard apprentices who were about to take their oaths stood there, their emotions a mixture of tension, shock, joy, and excitement.

In front of these people, a serene-faced female knight stood beside the Goddess Knight. She was none other than the Thousand Illusion Knight, Erica, the owner of the Illusionary Beast Breathing Technique.

She had an explosive figure, comparable to a succubus, and in order to match the curves of her body, she had to make her breastplate extremely large and round.

As a woman of the Thousand Illusions Clan, she was already large-breasted, but after practicing the Illusionary Beast Breathing Technique, her breasts became even larger.

"Captain Elsa, has the commander arrived?" Erica's words betrayed her turbulent emotions.

She had waited for this moment for far too long!

The reason why the Thousand Illusions Clan was able to survive for thousands of years after arriving in the Central Continent is related to their family's breathing technique.

The "Phantom Beast Bloodline" upon which the "Phantom Beast Breathing Technique" relies has a unique characteristic: it is more likely to be passed down to women, and less likely to men.

Generally speaking, the female heirs of a family are not lacking in the art of breathing techniques. Over the thousands of years, the family has produced several legendary female knights.

In the wizarding world, female legendary knights are still quite popular and are easily taken in as maids by wizards with such needs, thus gaining their protection!

It was through this shrewd and dependent relationship that the Thousand Illusions family was able to continue for thousands of years, and in her generation, a legendary knight was born.

But along the way, she was forced to depend on others, becoming their slave, their toy, and drifting with the tide.

She didn't want this life without dignity and freedom anymore.

All she wanted was to live a quiet life. Fortunately, she met the Goddess Knight, a knight even more powerful than herself.

This led her down a path she had never imagined, and she encountered a very promising organization.

Today, after waiting for several years, she has finally come here for a "pilgrimage".

She was about to meet the supreme knight leader.

Yakuza Knight!

"Don't be nervous. Once you're here, just make yourself at home," the Goddess Knight said, patting the Thousand Illusions Knight on the shoulder.

Before long, a thunderous cheer erupted.

Erica saw a colossal wind and thunder beast with a wingspan of tens of meters descending from the high sky, its aura so powerful it took her breath away.

After the behemoth landed, surrounded by a group of knights, a tall, imposing, and majestic black-armored knight, carrying a crimson longsword and trailing a long blood-red cloak, strolled over.

His gaze was like a dragon's, his pale golden eyes sweeping across the scene!

He possessed an imposing aura that commanded respect without anger; with each step he took, the earth trembled.

"Here they are. This is the leader, the Extreme Knight," said the Goddess Knight.

"So...so powerful." The Thousand Illusion Knight was so frightened by the powerful sense of oppression that his mind went blank.

The aura of Li Wei's bloodline was too powerful, giving these bloodline cultivators an instinctive sense of pressure.

This was also an important means by which Livy ruled the Temple!

He arrived at the platform, looked around, and lingered for a second when his gaze swept over the Thousand Illusion Knights.

"He actually glanced at me twice..." The Thousand Illusion Knight was flattered, which meant that he had some kind of aura that was enough to attract the leader's attention.

"Could it be because of my talent? Or perhaps..." The Thousand Illusion Knight looked down, lost in thought.

It's all the fault of the Beast Breathing Technique; otherwise, it wouldn't have gotten so big.

Li Wei's expression was solemn. The Sword of Oath appeared, and a giant azure dragon exuded majestic majesty as it surveyed everyone.

……

The oath has been taken.

Li Wei was in a good mood.

Among these promising talents, several have dual elemental affinity, and most importantly, two of them also possess knightly talent.

The only Blood Awakened Knight was that busty female knight.

Generally speaking, large breasts can affect combat, and many female knights will control their breasts to prevent them from becoming too large.

This Thousand Illusion Knight is truly exaggerated, Li Wei guessed, it might be related to breathing techniques.

It is said that these legendary creatures, the mythical beasts, love to disguise themselves as large-breasted and beautiful "fox-tailed girls," playing games with men and deceiving them for their own amusement, much like succubi.

Li Wei returned to the Supreme Dao Palace and instructed the Goddess Knight to inform the Thousand Illusion Knights to come to his palace.

Upon hearing this, the Thousand Illusion Knight was startled and his mind raced with thoughts.

"Could this organization have some kind of unspoken rule?"

She nervously entered the hall, looked at Li Wei sitting on the throne, and quickly bowed, saying, "The Thousand Illusion Knight greets the Commander."

"Well, no need for formalities. From today onwards, you are the tenth official member of the Twilight Knights. You can participate in the Round Table Meeting from now on, but don't be too happy too soon. If you slack off in your training and can't keep up with the team's pace, you may lose your qualification for the Round Table. You don't have the talent of a wizard, so take the way of the knight to the extreme and become a powerful female knight comparable to a mythical beast step by step!"

"From now on, you don't need to return to Middle-earth. Stay in the Twilight Temple to cultivate and learn the advanced theoretical knowledge here. At the same time, you should actively participate in the creation of knowledge and contribute more to the Temple. Do you understand?"

Li Wei asked seriously.

"Understood!" The Thousand Illusion Knight said, standing tall and straight.

Li Wei waved his hand and said, "Go down."

The Thousand Illusions Knight breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed he had been overthinking things.

"Commander, are you really alright?" she asked.

"there is none left."

The Thousand Illusions Knight hesitated for a moment, then turned and left.

"What am I thinking? How could a knight who can reach the level of a captain be an improper person?" Thousand Illusion Knight felt guilty.

Li Wei watched the departing Thousand Illusion Knights with a sense of satisfaction.

The 59th roundtable meeting then proceeded as scheduled.

Including Andrew, a total of eleven official members attended the meeting.

The newbie Thousand Illusion Knight was attending the meeting for the first time. Facing so many knights who were much stronger than her, she nervously introduced herself.

Andrew continued to share his recent research findings with everyone, and the group brainstormed and discussed them together.

After the meeting concluded successfully, everyone went about their own business.

Li Wei was preparing to meet the Knight of Flowers and explore the Nightmare World together.

……

A month later.

Inside the Imperial Palace.

Li Wei held a black book in his right hand, which exuded an ominous aura; it was the Necronomicon.

He has now refined the Necronomicon and intends to test its power today.

He turned the page, and on the first page was a picture:

A pitch-black cemetery, green will-o'-the-wisps, and a terrifying, wandering figure.

[Level One Necromancer - Wanderer, Abilities: Possession by Evil Spirits, Mental Weakness, Spiritual Body...]

The Necronomicon also contains detailed descriptions of the sealed undead, which is quite humane.

A level one necromancer is weaker than a wizard of the same level, but if this thing were placed in the human world at the beginning of the resurgence of the demonic tide, it would be the most terrifying evil spirit!

"O wandering souls of the graveyard, emerge!"

Li Wei chanted the incantation, and the painting seemed to come alive.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a burst of black smoke, the wandering undead suddenly appeared in front of Li Wei.

After it appeared, it stood still, waiting for Livy's instructions.

"Let's see if we can break the seal."

In an instant, Li Wei recited the "Release" mantra.

The next moment, the connection and shackles between the Necronomicon and the "Wanderer" suddenly shattered.

Immediately afterward, the wanderer seemed to be reborn. Its intelligence was extremely low, and it instinctively charged towards Li Wei. Finally, it crashed into Li Wei's protective force field and died.

After the experiment was completed.

Li Wei focused his attention on the last three sealed artifacts.

[Level 4 Necromancer - Headless Swordsman, Abilities: Immortal Slash, Spirit Body.]

[Level 4 Necromancer - Vengeful Girl, Abilities: Cursed Doll, Spiritual Body, Vengeful Howls...]

[Level 4 Necromancer - Scythe Demon, Abilities: Death Harvest, Spiritual Body, Summon the Dead...]

"The Headless Horseman only knows one move, the Mortal Slash, yet he is the strongest of the three undead. He must be quite powerful."

Li Wei summoned the headless swordsman.

After the billowing black smoke dissipated, a headless swordsman appeared, riding a skeletal warhorse, wearing knight's armor, and wielding a knight's longsword.

He looks to be five meters tall, and even without a head, he still exudes a sense of intimidation.

Li Wei learned that the headless swordsman was named "Zod".

"Zod, strike me with all your might!" Li Wei commanded.

Upon hearing this, the taciturn headless swordsman, accompanied by the neighing of his warhorse, gripped his longsword and seemed to have traveled from an ancient battlefield, exuding a murderous aura!

"Mortal Blade!"

Sa!

With an extremely fierce strike, a domineering white sword light tore through the darkness and collided with Li Wei's layers of defensive measures.

Click, click...

This sword light actually cleaved through Li Wei's Earth Dragon Barrier, Heavy Water Barrier, and two Dharma Images—a total of four layers of defense!

"148 cards, not bad. The power of this sword has reached the ceiling of the fourth ring. I am very satisfied with this summon."

Li Weixin was delighted.

Even a seasoned fourth-ring wizard might not be a match for him; if they are careless and let their guard down, they could be killed with a single sword strike.

The Mortal Blade is particularly adept at slaying souls and is also effective against spirits, elementalization, and other forms of immortality.

"It's a pity that this seems to be the innate ability of the headless swordsman, and there is no sword skill inheritance book. Otherwise, this would definitely be a level four combat skill... However, I can call Zod out to spar with me more often in the future. With time, given my sword skill level and talent, I should be able to replicate it almost perfectly."

After sending the headless swordsman back, Li Wei tested the abilities of the vengeful spirit girl and the scythe demon, and they were both quite good.

The Wraith Girl's [Cursed Doll] can cast vicious curses on enemies. By dripping the enemy's blood onto the doll, the curse can be cast across mountains and rivers. Those whose cultivation level is two levels lower than the Wraith Girl will die instantly, those one level lower will be seriously injured, and even those of the same level will suffer greatly.

Then, Li Wei began to refine the Blood Lady from the Blood Armor Corpse Demon into the book, following the refining method of the Necronomicon.

Next, on the fourth blank page from the bottom, a dignified woman in red, exuding mature charm, sits in front of the bed, lonely as she combs her hair in front of the mirror. This is none other than Lady Bored.

[Level 4 Necromancer - Blood Lady, Abilities...]

"Try Phoenix again."

Levi recalled Phoenix.

Phoenix was suspicious, unsure of what was going to happen.

The next moment, accompanied by Li Wei's incantation and spellcasting, its body began to fly involuntarily toward the Necronomicon.

Then, on the fifth page from the bottom, a large fire elemental bird appeared, its head raised high, howling and its wings flapping as it soared into the sky.

[Level 4 Spirit Entity Phoenix, Abilities...]

"Haha, it works! This way, we can bring the Mind Flayer in too."

Li Weiyi copied the formula and included the Mind Destroyer as well.

At the same time, Li Wei immediately sensed that the Necronomicon seemed to be saturated and could no longer contain a Level 4 being.

To store more, it must be upgraded to a fifth-circle artifact.

There were some materials for advancing to the fifth ring in Lady Ghost's storage bag.

Li Wei plans to wait until he reaches the fifth ring before trying to find the remaining materials in Hell.

"In this way, all the puppet pilots can be brought in. Not bad, my strength has increased quite a bit... That's enough, I need to go find the Knight of Flowers."

He also needs to bring back Leviathan's wife, the narwhal, as he was too busy chasing her last time to do so.

……

The endless sea.

The Witch's House.

Wizard training grounds.

"We'll be setting off for the Dark Tower in five years. If you don't train hard now, your combat skills and teamwork won't be up to par. Not getting the treasures is a minor issue; the most critical thing is that you won't even be able to bring your own life back!"

I know you are all elites in the organization, the chosen ones. Talent is your proud strength, but also your unexpected weakness.

You can stay in the ivory tower and rely on your talent to cultivate without any bottlenecks, and you don't need to worry about resources much.

"You all seem to have progressed rapidly in your cultivation levels, and you're all over a hundred or two hundred years old. However, in the harsh environment of the Dark Tower, you might find that you're not as outstanding as you imagined!"

A stern-faced wizard, whose aura had reached the peak of the fifth ring, stood with his hands behind his back.

He is a member of the Witch's House and also serves as a commander in the Wizarding Chapter of the Endless Sea.

Although he had never been inside the Dark Tower, he possessed extremely rich practical experience, so the Witch's House appointed him as a "Dark Instructor" to train the geniuses of these organizations.

In front of the instructors were a total of twenty-five wizards, five of whom were at the fifth ring and twenty at the fourth ring.

Of all these wizards, there is only one male wizard, who is none other than the relative, Aynia.

He was listening attentively to the instructor's explanation.

Beside him stood the Phantom Witch Sera, completely unperturbed.

"For this expedition to the Dark Tower, you will be divided into groups of four, each led by a fifth-circle wizard. The fifth-circle wizard will be responsible for your safety once you enter the tower. Once inside, immediately use the locator to find your respective team leader. Do not act alone!"

To ensure that each team is well-rounded, I will assign teammates to you based on your class and spell proficiency, ensuring that each team has an alchemist, a spellcaster, a body-refining wizard, and a spellcaster specializing in offensive magic.

In this way, by relying on a comprehensive team composition and a reasonable combination of spells, your strength can be maximized.

Remember, human strength has its limits. Don't be overconfident. Even if you are a genius or a child of the elements, you can't be perfect in every aspect!

Even legendary wizards cannot achieve full development! No one can!

Therefore, the core of the Dark Tower is teamwork!

... "

The instructor spoke earnestly and incessantly.

On the training ground, the Witch's House team began another intensive training session, with everyone putting in their best effort.

After training, Ania and Sera went to a corner to rest quietly and recover their mental strength.

In the center of the training field, a witch whose aura had reached the fourth level of perfection was chatting with her instructor, her silvery laughter ringing out from time to time.

This witch possessed an ethereal quality, as if she were untainted by the mud around her. She wore a pure white witch's robe and exuded confidence and composure.

She is the strongest of the four-ring wizards from the Witch's House who went to the Dark Tower this time, and she is also the leading figure among the younger generation of the Witch's House.

Snow Lotus Witch Renis!

Child of the Water Element! He also possesses a second special talent: [Water Flower]!

This made Renis's affinity for water reach an extremely exaggerated level.

Even the children of the elements cannot compare to it.

Renis's parents were both elemental spirit wizards; her mother was from a witch's family, and her father was from the Abyss Alliance.

With this top-tier second-generation wizarding setup, Renis, at only 150 years old, is already a fourth-circle master and has mastered six innate spells.

She can be called the number one genius of the Witch's House in this generation!

Sera glanced at Reines, who was surrounded by people and chatting animatedly with the instructor, and transmitted her voice to Aenea: "That woman really loves to show off. Her parents were strongly against her going to the Dark Tower, thinking that she didn't need to take the risk... In the end, she went to the Witch herself and had the Witch persuade her parents to let her go. She insisted on going, saying it was for some kind of training. I think she just wants to take advantage of the Dark Tower opening to show off and prove herself."

"Lord Li Wei once said that having a high level of cultivation but no practical combat ability is like a toothless wolf in the ever-changing and unpredictable wizarding world. I think that's fine too. They're all adults over a hundred years old and can take responsibility for their actions."

"You keep calling him Lord Levi, you..." Sera was speechless. Ever since she became close to Ania, this young man seemed to live in Levi's shadow all day long, mentioning Levi in ​​every other sentence.

"It's a pity that Lord Li Wei couldn't enter the Dark Tower. Otherwise, he might have been the real dark horse of this Dark Tower event. He is best at winning against the odds."

Whether it's the Snow Lotus Witch or the leaders of the other five towers, such as [Golden Light Wizard Gilga] and [Sea Noble Mangang], their names sound impressive, but in a real fight, they might not be a match for Lord Li Wei.

My mother has a very good eye for people. She cares for Li Wei almost as much as she cares for me, which shows that Li Wei is definitely a young man worth investing in!

Aenea looked wistful; not being able to fight alongside Levi and shine in the Dark Tower was his biggest regret!

"Is it really as amazing as you make it out to be?"

Gilga is a rare child of lightning element, and possesses the special talent of "Gate of Light". He created his own "Golden Light Meditation" based on the Lightne family's "Golden Light Meditation". With his fourth-ring perfect cultivation, he killed a black wizard who had just entered the fifth ring.

Namangang, a descendant of the Sea Clan Emperor and the Yuanhun Wizard, is the only body-refining wizard in the Sea Abyss Alliance for thousands of years to have mastered the most difficult "Eight-Armed Demon God Body Refining Method" to the fourth-ring perfection level before the age of two hundred. This is one of the "Four Great Body Refining Methods of the Ancient Era," and is said to be the body-refining method closest to the realm of a Grand Wizard. Not to mention, Namangang himself is also the son of the water element, and his magical cultivation far surpasses that of his peers.

"No matter how strong Li Wei is, can he compare to them?"

Sera didn't believe it at all.

You must understand, as the Child of the Elements, she was already a fourth-ring senior at only 170 years old and had mastered her fifth innate spell. However, in front of the Snow Lotus Witch, the Golden Light Wizard, and the Sea Noble, she was completely convinced and felt inferior.

Even among geniuses, there are differences.

Apart from the Snow Lotus Witch, the other two have records of killing or severely injuring fifth-ring wizards, although there is suspicion that they cheated by using magical artifacts or attacked and maimed them.

But that's a fifth-ring artifact. Even if you gave Sera three fifth-ring artifacts, she wouldn't dare to fight against it.

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you..." Ania shook her head and stopped arguing.

Just then, a figure appeared at the witch's house, hurrying about; it was Li Wei.

Ania looked delighted and quickly called out, "Levi, what brings you here?"

"Ania, I've come to see Lady Elena. I have something to discuss with her," Levi said with a smile.

Not long ago, Li Wei traveled from the human world to the subspace gate of the Endless Sea, which was the fastest way to reach the Starry Sea.

The great narwhal's coordinates are in the inner ring sea area, near the Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm.

He planned to capture them again after returning from the Nightmare World, and while he was at it, he would also go to the Ninth District of the Outer Ring Sea to find Baron Baghdad of the Deep Sea and ask him to mobilize the sea creatures to help him collect more extraordinary marine creatures to bring back to the Ancient Saint Plane for captivity.

"You know Lady Elena?" Sera asked in surprise.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Li Wei naturally didn't need to hide his relationship with Elena, his powerful confidante, as this would also deter some people with ulterior motives.

"It's nothing." Sera thought enviously. Even as a child of the elements, she couldn't go directly to the Soul Wizard like Li Wei.

At most, the Yuanhun Wizard will give a lecture and give some special attention.

After all, the Witch's House is never short of geniuses.

While Li Wei and Aonia were catching up, the Snow Lotus Witch in the distance glanced at Li Wei out of the corner of her eye.

"Why does it feel like there are more and more male witches in the organization lately?" a witch muttered, her tone revealing a hint of dissatisfaction.

"I wonder, perhaps like Aonia, she's also the child of a Soul Mage?"

"No, he's just an ordinary outsider wizard. He used to come from a small organization in the outer region, but the organization was wiped out, and he became a rogue cultivator who came to Hades City to make a living. Because he was good at making medicine, he was taken in by Lady Triss. What was his name again, Li Wei?"

"I see. Judging from his mental strength, he seems to have reached the threshold of a senior fourth-ring cultivator. Not bad at all."

"He has a very good relationship with Ms. Triss...maybe he gets some special treatment, otherwise how could he have cultivated so quickly?"

The Snow Lotus Witch coughed and suddenly said, "Stop talking, let's continue training. Call Ania over."

She had never heard of Li Wei and was not interested in him.

During this trip to the Dark Tower, in the Endless Sea region, excluding the wizards above the fifth ring, she only focused on five people, who were the leading figures of this generation in the other five towers.

According to the witch, this opening of the Dark Tower may be different from the past.

Once the Dark Tower is activated, the battle situation inside will be projected onto the massive tower and then refracted onto the crystal walls of the nearby multidimensional planes.

In the past, after the Dark Tower was opened, its location was often far away from Nora.

Therefore, people in the Nora dimension cannot see what is happening inside.

But this time, the Dark Tower is very close to Nora.

This means that the struggles and competitions within the Dark Tower will be projected onto Nora's crystal walls.

At that time, whether in the human world or the wizarding world, whether an ordinary wizard or a legendary wizard, they may all be able to see what's happening inside!

This is a "battle of wits" that will be witnessed by all living beings!

Therefore, all the top powers in the wizarding world have directly dispatched their trump cards to demonstrate their strength.

The concept of "face" is quite peculiar; even someone at the level of a wizard still cares about it.

Of course, besides saving face, this also makes it easier to attract talent and win the talent war after the Dark Tower ends!

It is said that the Nine Cities Alliance formulated detailed reward rules in the Crimson Realm.

For example, a fourth-circle wizard who successfully enters the fourth level will receive a reward of 100 million gold coins upon returning, regardless of whether they have gained anything! There are a whole host of similar incentive policies.

Currently, a competition has formed between the various schools of thought and their major organizations.

Everyone must fight for the honor of their school of thought and their organization!

If it weren't for the parliament's ban, these organizations might have already started formulating rules such as "a reward of 100,000 taels of silver for killing a wizard from another school or organization."

Parliament's prohibition of such regulations does not prevent wizards from fighting each other inside; it merely expresses an attitude.

The killing of wizards among themselves cannot be reflected in policy documents; this is a matter of principle.

Of course, the council does not prohibit hunting down participants from other civilizations.

Those who are not of our kind, kill them at will!

the other side.

While waiting for the Knight of Flowers at Triss's cabin, Levi learned about the changes in the Dark Tower from Triss during their conversation.

"What does Soren mean... is he going to do a live stream?" Li Wei frowned, feeling hesitant.

He had always done his murders and arson in secret, but now that it might be projected and seen by the entire wizarding world, or even other planes, he was reluctant to go.

"What's with that expression?" Ms. Triss asked, noticing Levi's troubled look.

"Nothing... Ma'am, may I ask if this projection shows everything that happens inside the Dark Tower?"

"It shouldn't be that. It's probably just a random selection of a certain time period and a certain location... I've never been inside, so I'm not sure. I'll ask the witch next time," Triss said.

"Is there any way to hide my projection? What if I get into a fight with someone inside and accidentally kill someone in self-defense... It's fine if it's a rogue wizard, but if I kill a member of a powerful organization, will the council or those organizations find me and retaliate against me based on my magic and magical artifacts?" Levi directly voiced his concerns, hoping that Ms. Triss had some solution. Otherwise, he would have to seriously consider whether or not to go to the ancient tower.

"I knew you were worried about that. Have you made a lot of enemies outside?" Triss asked back.

"No, I just killed some dark wizards," Li Wei said.

Apart from killing the dark wizard, all the other people he killed were acting in self-defense, at most it was excessive self-defense.

"You don't need to worry too much. First of all, a legendary wizard from the council has already stated that life and death are irrelevant inside the Dark Tower, and the council certainly won't hold you responsible... However, if you kill important people from certain organizations or the descendants of important figures, it's possible that you'll be targeted by some people who can't take the risk. So try to avoid conflicts with them. Only combat events will be projected. You're just exploring for treasure, so no one will see you. I'll also think of other ways to see if we can help you and Aenea disguise yourselves," Triss said.

Upon hearing this, Li Wei nodded: "Thank you, ma'am!"

"Don't worry too much. I have high hopes for you. If anyone dares to bully you or cause you trouble, I won't allow it. I'm still holding a grudge about the Gold Mage King bullying Elena. If I could beat him, I would definitely go and settle the score with him. How dare he bully my sister Elena! I'm so angry!" Triss couldn't help but swear, which was a rare sight for Levi.

It seems that Triss and Elena have a really good relationship; it's probably not just a superficial friendship.

As the two were chatting, Elena walked in. Backlit, her blonde hair shone brightly. She asked earnestly, "Levi, are you ready?"

"Lady Elena, I think... I'm ready!"
