Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 307 Immortal and Undying, Rebirth from the Ashes! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

The fifth aspect of Dharma.

The dragon reborn from the ashes.

Its functions are extremely powerful.

First, it's still about improving basic physical attributes, a qualitative change in self-healing ability, and the ability to regenerate flesh and blood—it's all just routine.

Li Wei's current self-healing ability is comparable to that of an immortal vampire or an undead creature.

Of course, it's still a long way from the legendary "blood rebirth".

Moreover, the most important organ, the brain, must not be destroyed.

Before the power of the Death Dragon is exhausted, except for the head, other organs, even the heart, can be regenerated instantly and multiple times for Li Wei.

The amount of Death Dragon Power consumed varies depending on the importance of the organ.

This boss-like ability makes Li Wei barely qualify as "immortal" to a limited degree!

The second function of "Nirvana Dragon" is even more powerful.

This ability is called "Nirvana"!

After activating his Dharma Form, Li Weiruo suffered severe injuries and was on the verge of death. He could use his "Nirvana" ability to enter a state of "feigned death," then consume all of the Death Dragon's power to instantly "fully recover"!

After being resurrected, Livi's Death Dragon Seed will unlock "Nirvana Form".

In Nirvana form, Livy's six dimensions and all attributes will increase significantly, by approximately 10%!

The duration of Nirvana form is related to Livy's endurance.

With his mastery of the Sky Dragon Breathing Technique, he should be able to defeat powerful enemies.

After Nirvana, Li Wei will enter a period of weakness, similar to Crimson Escape, but this period of weakness will be longer.

With great power comes great cost!

Given Li Wei's current level of cultivation, he can only activate the Nirvana form once.

If he suffers another severe injury, he can only rely on the "Resurrection" effect to find a safe place and slowly recover his body.

He had a hunch that the limit of the Death Dragon Breathing Technique was not a single rebirth.

As its realm advances, it should be able to undergo a second Nirvana, a third Nirvana, and so on. After each Nirvana, its attributes will increase by 10% based on its initial attributes.

In other words, the more Li Wei dies, the stronger he becomes.

Of course, given Li Wei's personality and way of doing things, he will most likely never need to use this "Nirvana" ability in his lifetime.

Just kidding, that only triggers when you're severely injured and on the verge of death.

"In case of an emergency, I can trigger a rebirth through self-harm, thereby activating the Nirvana form!" Li Wei had a sudden inspiration.

But after thinking about it, I still think it's not a good idea.

Ideally, we'd never need to use this effect.

Li Wei always regarded the Death Dragon Breathing Technique as his last line of defense and trump card.

"No matter what, immortal and indestructible, reborn from the ashes, worthy of the name of the Dragon of Nirvana!"

Li Wei opened the proficiency panel.

Li Wei——————

Death Breathing Technique: 15th Rank (1/700,000), Special Effects: Unquenchable Body (Level 3), Rebirth from the Ashes, Enveloped in Ashes, Call of the Embers. Bloodline Avatar: Dragon of Nirvana; Exclusive Weapon: Undying Armor (Level 3).

……

In this way...

Apart from the Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique, all five other breathing techniques have advanced to the Blood Source Transformation Level 3 or higher, with the Golden Serpent even reaching the Blood Source Transformation Level 4.

Looking at the Crimson Nether Sparrow on his shoulder, Li Wei felt very gratified.

He stroked his head and said, "I see you have the potential of a phoenix. Keep up the good work and strive for even greater achievements!"

The Crimson Nether Sparrow had a bad feeling. Could it be that it was going to force me to advance to level five?

Advancing to level four has exhausted all its potential; level five is impossible, not because it doesn't want to try, but because of its bloodline limitations.

With the Crimson Netherworld Sparrow reaching level four, the problem of the Dead Ember Dragon's Secret Medicine was also easily solved.

Of course, he will continue to search for even more advanced phoenix bloodline creatures.

After all, given the potential of the Crimson Nether Sparrow's bloodline, what it just said was nothing more than a well-intentioned lie...

We've been inside the ancient pagoda for quite some time now.

Li Wei ran out of the Golden Serpent Elixir he had stockpiled, so he simply suspended his practice of the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique.

This time, he focused on the Crimson Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique.

This is the foundation of Li Wei's strength, and the primary reason why he can defeat enemies beyond his realm!

……

Time flies.

The 5th year of the Dark Tower calendar.

In the year 1170 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of vitality, Li Wei was 180 years old.

At the 69th roundtable meeting.

Li Wei learned that a new Blood Awakening Knight had been born.

This knight was none other than the Crocodile Turtle Knight, who had sparred with the Halberd Knight and been defeated.

The Alligator Turtle Knight also has another title in the Knights Order:

"Turtle Shell Knight".

Because his armor had once been touched by his idol, the Yakuza Knight.

So from then on, he never wiped his armor clean.

Dust, grime, and moss had grown on it. It looked similar to a tortoise shell, and given its natural defensive capabilities, it resembled a tortoise.

Therefore, he earned the title of Tortoise Shell Knight.

The Alligator Turtle Breathing Technique is only an excellent quality breathing technique, but if one cultivates it to the fullest extent of its bloodline, possessing the strength of a primordial spirit is not a problem.

At that time, we can also use evolution potions to promote bloodline evolution, break through the shackles, and go even further!

The Knights now have 15 official members, with only 3 spots remaining to reach full capacity.

During this time, the other knights were all eager to compete for the last three spots.

In response, Li Wei emphasized that the eighteen members of the Knights were not fixed.

As long as one has excellent character and sufficient strength, one can challenge any of the existing members.

If a new member defeats an older member in a fair duel, that member can take their place.

As the Knight system continues to improve, there will definitely be a surge in first-class Knights in the future. If you want to maintain your position, you must keep working hard and striving for improvement!

Currently, the Knights Order has seven knights of rank three or higher.

Looking at the Wizarding World, this is a relatively powerful Third Ring organization.

The Knights Order, however, has only existed for a little over a hundred years.

……

On this side of the ancient pagoda.

After nearly three years in Giant Axe Canyon, Li Wei's men had dug every inch of the vast canyon.

This day.

The aura of the weasel in Li Wei's hand completely dissipated and merged into Li Wei's mind.

A warm current flowed through the Holy Tower of the French Ring.

The rotation of the Holy Tower of the Rings began to accelerate, and within it, one after another, dazzling spiritual stars condensed.

390, 391, 392...

Even after the four hundredth spiritual star was born, the upward trend had not stopped.

In the end, Li Wei's number of spiritual energy stars reached 406!

"Hiss... What's going on? Can refining a Truth Treasure directly increase mental power?"

Li Wei had some doubts.

According to the information he found, the Breath of the Weasel has four functions.

Increases the upper limit of mental power, increases the power of wind spells, enhances hearing, and allows communication with flying sickle beasts.

However, increasing the upper limit of mental power does not mean directly improving the existing level of mental power; it only means expanding the "container volume".

"It seems that for me, the Breath of the Weasel has a fifth function: directly increasing my mental strength by 16 points, which is equivalent to reducing three years of arduous training!"

In high spirits, Li Wei took out a brand new Klein crystal ball from his storage bag.

The crystal ball he bought during his apprenticeship was outdated and not accurate enough.

In future versions, it may even be possible to reflect the upper limit of mental power.

[Mental Strength: 406/530]

[Spell Power: 20300]

"As expected, the upper limit of mental strength has increased."

Under normal circumstances, the standard fourth-ring wizard's maximum mental strength is 500 points!

Li Wei had previously taken the [Water Dragon's Chant], which increased his maximum level by 10 points.

The maximum value of [Breath of the Weasel] has now been increased by 20 points.

Total of 30 points!

What does this mean?

This means that Li Wei's success rate is 3% higher when advancing to the Yuan Soul level!

Keep in mind that this is an advanced Yuan Soul; even a one percent improvement is a huge step forward.

This also means that Li Wei has already reached the level of mental power of the fifth ring before advancing to the fifth ring, but he has not yet completed the qualitative change process of crystallization.

"This is amazing! As expected of a rare artifact of truth. And this is only at the Earth level. If it were at the Sky or Morning Star level, it would be even more incredible!"

As for the Bright Moon, the Sun, and even the legendary ones that follow, Li Wei didn't even dare to dream of them.

No wonder everyone says that the Truth Treasure is a divine artifact that can defy fate and change destiny. Those who obtain it are all chosen ones.

Moreover, even among the Earth-level Truth Wonders, there are actually different levels.

[Water Dragon's Roar] is clearly inferior to [Kamaitachi's Breath].

Although Li Wei had only seen these two kinds of Truth Treasures, he felt that the Breath of the Weasel should be considered a top-grade Earth-level treasure.

His three-year wait was worthwhile, as he became the evil "Death Wizard Ainz Ooal Gown" and bore the infamy.

"This thing can also increase the power of wind spells. My current wind spell is [Wind Dragon Swiftness]. Let's see how it works."

In the blink of an eye, the air surged, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, leaving only the sound of the explosion echoing behind him.

"I'm even faster!"

Li Wei arrived in the canyon, where a fierce windstorm raged, and his ears twitched.

In the howling wind, he could hear whispers hundreds of kilometers away.

These voices were like those of a child, incredibly innocent.

"Lord Kamaitachi has been born! Let's go see him quickly!"

"Let's go see the lord."

"Where? Where?"

"The Graveyard of the Flying Scythe Beasts"

"But Lord Soggins told us not to go to the Flying Scythe Beast Graveyard, or we might be in mortal danger."

"But our Kamaitachi-sama is indeed there."

"What to do? What to do?"

"I'll go ask Lord Soggins and have him take us there."

……

Li Wei's eyes lit up with surprise.

The Flying Scythe Beast is a small beast with relatively low intelligence and cannot communicate with humans at all.

But he could hear the conversations of the flying sickle beasts in the canyon, as if he had become a flying sickle beast himself.

"As expected, my hearing has improved a lot... and I have become the leader of this group of flying scythe beasts in the canyon. As for Sokins, that must be the name of that big blue crab. Extraordinary creatures that can name themselves must have good bloodlines."

Li Wei's mind raced, and he returned to the Flying Scythe Beast Cemetery.

Now that we have the treasure, it's a done deal, and we don't have to worry about it being stolen by someone else.

He was also preparing to leave Giant Axe Canyon.

The next day.

Gold miner Gilmore arrives at the cemetery.

"Master, apart from the area where the giant blue crab is located, we have basically mined all the ores in Giant Axe Canyon."

Li Wei accepted the three storage rings.

The first item is wind sand, totaling two thousand catties.

The second item is the Sand of the Storm, totaling fifty catties.

The third is the Sand of the Sky, which is very rare, only about three pounds.

Li Wei couldn't stop grinning; he was practically doubled over with laughter. These ores, if left out in the open, would fetch an unimaginable price.

However, the thing he has no shortage of right now is money, so he plans to keep it and use it up slowly on his own.

You should know that he has a plane and three major forces behind him.

"Let's stop mining. We can't be too greedy. Let's leave some for those who come after us. We're getting ready to leave," Li Wei said.

He opened the Necronomicon and collected all the undead, as well as Gilmore, Phoenix, and others.

Put the corpse demon and the alchemical creature into the storage ring.

Then seal away the extraordinary creatures that were out and about, leaving only those without space outside.

The red-horned bird, the dark bird, and the blue bird all shrank, either wrapping around the arm or standing on the shoulder.

"It's still not very convenient. If only the Alice Ring could be opened..."

These extraordinary creatures, which cannot be contained, require Li Wei to ensure their safety before he can focus on fighting in case of emergencies.

But there's no other way now, so I have to keep it like this.

Three days later.

Li Wei removed all the magic arrays from the Flying Sickle Beast Cemetery, erasing all traces of his life.

Before leaving, at the exit of the canyon, the giant blue crab seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and a large group of flying sickle beasts were hiding on the giant blue crab's body. At this moment, they stretched out their sneaky heads and looked at Li Wei.

"Kamaitatsu-sama."

An aged voice echoed in Li Wei's mind.

A rare, pure white flying sickle beast crawled out.

"Are you talking to me?" Li Wei asked.

"Yes, because you are Lord Kamaitachi." The white flying scythe beastman stood up and squeaked.

Li Wei asked, "Is there something you need?"

"Lord Kamaitachi, please take us away. We have been waiting for a long time."

Where do you want to go?

"Wherever you go, we will go."

Li Wei looked thoughtful.

……

The next day.

The exit of Giant Axe Canyon.

A large blue crab was rampaging through the sky.

Wherever it passed, the wind whipped up the remaining clouds, and flying sickle beasts and wind-chasing birds surrounded it, just like divine beasts.

On the back of the giant blue crab, a burly black dragon sat cross-legged, grinning crookedly.

"Hehehe, I'm a dragon with a mount now! This is a level five extraordinary creature! Soggins, let's go! The world is so big, I'll show you around!"

Li Wei was in a good mood.

As he had expected, he had now become the king of the flying sickle beasts that inhabited this canyon.

They have lived here for generations, waiting for the birth of the Weasel's Breath to take them away.

Unexpectedly, Li Wei refined the Breath of the Weasel and took its place!

Now, Li Wei has a full thousand flying sickle beast minions.

These little guys, don't be fooled by their small size, they are real Level 1 creatures when they grow up.

Placed in the Twilight Temple, this would be considered a halberd-wielding knight-level unit.

Now, he has suddenly gained control of a thousand.

Of course, half of them were not fully grown flying sickle beasts, and their strength was only at the level of a wizard apprentice.

Even so, this is still a considerable force.

However, for Li Wei, the greatest role of these flying sickle beasts was not in direct combat, but to serve as his eyes and ears, and secret agents!

As a darling of the wind, the Flying Scythe Beast can freely enter and exit the Wind Disaster Layer of the material plane, something that many low- and mid-level wizards cannot do.

With these items, Li Wei's treasure hunting and reconnaissance abilities improved dramatically within the Dark Tower.

Moreover, no one would pay attention to the flying sickle beast passing through the high-altitude wind disaster layer, and they would never guess that this was Li Wei's "surveillance drone".

In retrospect, this is the correct way to use the Breath of the Weasel. The other functions are merely incidental.

As for the blue crab named Sokins, he was blinded by the money offered by Levi.

There was no way around it; Li Wei had given them far too much.

Li Wei told it that his hometown had countless gold and jewels.

He could even build a grand palace of gold for Soggins to live in!

The kind-hearted but greedy Soggins agreed without hesitation.

The power of money can also be used to contract extraordinary beings, something Li Wei had not anticipated.

He specifically tested Sokins' bloodline, only to find that the Rowling Crystal couldn't detect it either.

Perhaps, this really is a crab that's different from others...

After leaving Giant Axe Canyon, Li Wei visited some nearby resource points and even sent out a Flying Scythe Beast squad to search for them, but the results were better than nothing.

He decided not to waste any more time and headed towards the entrance to the fourth floor.

……

The Dark Tower.

The fifth floor.

The area of ​​this floor is much, much larger than the previous four floors combined.

If the first four levels are incomplete little worlds, then this is a complete new world.

On the fifth floor, in addition to the "outsiders" who enter the ancient tower, there are also various indigenous civilizations, large and small.

These civilizations may have resulted from the creators of the ancient towers completely transporting the world during their creation process.

These civilizations are ravaged by despicable "outsiders" every ten thousand years, thus constantly dying out and constantly being reborn.

Today, after hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, the civilization structure that dominates the fifth layer has basically taken shape.

Each of these civilizations has a being of level six or above in charge, so even "outsiders" dare not provoke them.

The barbarians, born with superhuman strength and possessing immense power; the humans, widely distributed and highly adaptable; and the demons, who have intricate connections with the demons of the abyss.

They call the fifth layer "Io".

A magnificent world created by the supreme god, Io.

The barbarians are organized in tribes and are distributed in the northern part of the continent of Io, where there are endless grasslands, deserts, wastelands, and ice fields.

Almost every tribe has its own totem worship. These totems are usually powerful and ferocious beasts living there, often with a strength of level five or even level six or higher.

The supreme ruler among the barbarians is called the Barbarian King!

The central part of the continent of Aion is occupied by the most powerful human race.

Humans obtained some spellcasting techniques from the despicable "outsiders," such as the wizard's meditation and spells.

Over time, a profession known as "mage" came into being.

With the help of mages, the human race established the unified [Kane Empire] here.

The Kane Empire is a theocratic state, ruled by the Chaos Church and its numerous subordinate Chaos Orders.

The Chaos Pope is the supreme ruler of the empire and the most powerful mage, known as the "Light of Humanity" and the "Supreme God of Magic"!

however.

In the myth of Eo, neither the barbarians nor the humans have existed for as long as the "demons".

The demons live in the southern part of the continent of Aion.

According to the Chaos Bible, when Aion created the world, it was invaded by extraterrestrial demons. Aion used its divine power to kill the demons, and their corpses were sealed in the south of the continent of Aion, suppressed by the endless "Million Mountains".

Unfortunately, Aio had been asleep for a long time, causing the seal to loosen and demonic energy to leak out, forming a brutal demon race. They were led by seven powerful Demon Kings!

The mission of the Supreme God of Law is to unite all humankind, inherit the will of the God of Eo, lead the Order to conquer the barbarians in the north and destroy the demons in the south, and bring peace back to the continent.

The three major powers are in perpetual war, without end.

However, the area it occupies and develops is actually just the tip of the iceberg of the continent of Io.

In addition, there are countless "convergence points" scattered like fragments on the continent of Io.

That place is rich in resources, but also extremely dangerous, attracting large numbers of outsiders, black beasts, apostles of evil gods, and secret agents of powerful figures...

Only the strongest of the three races dare to venture to the crossroads.

In the continent of Io.

Top-tier wizarding organizations typically establish their own power base directly at the crossroads, divide up territories, and rival native civilizations.

Outsiders at level six or above are not allowed to attack the native civilization or other participants on the fifth level, otherwise they will be severely punished by the Order Keepers.

As long as you don't provoke any strong natives above level six, and rely on teamwork, you'll be basically safe.

Wizards outside of major organizations not only have to compete with other wizards, but also with the Chaos Cult, which captures "outsiders" on a large scale!

In the Chaos Order, wizards are referred to as "heretics" or "evil sorcerers."

The continent of Io is surrounded by a vast ocean, which is known as the "Land of the Four Seas".

The land of the Western Sea, the seaside.

A wizard's camp, with the witch's house flag flying high.

A massive five-ringed magic array protected the camp.

A group of witches were stationed here; some were practicing their arts, some were chatting, and their giggles could be heard from time to time.

Among the beautiful women, Ania stood out as an outsider.

However, because of his handsome appearance and his mother Triss, his soul.

He was quite popular with the witches, and people would often come to chat with him.

After experiencing numerous battles, Aenea's demeanor has become more mature.

If Ms. Triss could see this, she would surely be very pleased.

"What are you thinking about?" A witch approached; it was the Phantom Witch.

"It's nothing," Ania smiled slightly.

The Phantom Witch said, "Get ready. We'll be going on a mission once the Snow Lotus Witch's team returns."

Ania nodded.

The Witch's House team is divided into two types: "Explorers" and "Guardians," who take turns.

Other top organizations were similar. Each top organization sent at least twenty or thirty people. Some powerful ones, such as the Nine Cities Alliance of the Burning Faction, sent a total of nearly three hundred wizards.

The Phantom Witch said:

"I just heard from the team leader that half a month ago, the Nine Cities Alliance sent thirty people, led by the Flame Dragon Slayer, who, relying on their numerical advantage, wiped out an indigenous organization that worshipped an evil god and easily took over one of the meeting points, the Sacred Fire Plateau."

In this battle, three level-five cult leaders were killed, and a large amount of resources and supplies were seized. Three copies of the Truth Treasure alone were obtained.

The Flame Slayer, amidst the fervor of the crowd, slew a level-five fire-type hybrid dragon, the Madfire Dragon Beast, which was guarding the cult's treasure vault.

I estimate that his ranking has already surpassed some ordinary fifth-ring wizards. With his talent, he can advance to the fifth ring within three to five years. At that time, he will probably be competing with those veteran fifth-ring wizards for the top spot on the Earth Rankings…”

Hearing this, Aenea looked worried and said, "Compared to the disciplined Burning School, the other three traditional schools are all fighting their own battles. If this continues, the Nine Cities Alliance may become the dominant force in the future."

The next day.

Outside the stronghold, five streaks of light flew in, led by the Snow Lotus Witch with a cold expression.

Jim, the fifth-ring wizard, came out to greet them with a smile.

"Your Excellency Snow Lotus, how was the harvest?"

With a wave of her hand, the Snow Lotus Witch sent an amethyst to the ground, its surface gleaming beautifully. Besides this, there were also some elemental metals, herbs, and other items.

"Hiss... You actually killed a level four peak Amethyst Clan member?" Jim's expression changed slightly.

The Snow Lotus Witch possesses exceptional talent, but killing a level four peak Amethyst Clan member in actual combat would still be quite difficult.

The Snow Lotus Witch said calmly, "It's nothing serious. It's just killing one. As far as I know, the Flame Dragon Slayer has already killed three, and the Golden Light Wizard has killed two. I'm still far behind."

"That's amazing."

"Yes. That's amazing. No wonder you're a descendant of a Yuanhun Wizard. I'm ashamed of my own abilities."

"The Snow Lotus Witch's ranking will definitely improve significantly!"

In an instant, a chorus of voices, some sincere and some obsequious, rang out.

Watching the Snow Lotus Witch enter the Wizard Tower to rest.

Ania sighed inwardly, "These people... they really are sycophants."

However, he had to admit that being able to kill a member of the Amethyst Clan of the same level single-handedly was something to be proud of. In any case, he didn't currently have that kind of strength.

Nowadays, geniuses in top organizations regard hunting down the Amethyst Clan as their certificate of honor.

However, very few actually manage to do so. Most who encounter the Amethyst Clan flee in disarray, having lost all their armor and weapons.

"I wonder what Li Wei's strength is now. I hope that after I return from the ancient tower, I can catch up with him... and strive for the perfection of the sixth talent, stepping into the fifth realm!"

……

Northern part of the continent of Io.

Barbarian region.

Sky Ant Tribe.

The now-famous "Skyhorn Barbarian King" of Io comes from this tribe.

Their tribe's totem is known as the "Ant God"!

On this day, outside the Ant God Tribe, a white-robed witch quietly appeared; she was none other than the Ice Phoenix, Feline.

In her palm, a crystal-clear frost dragon centipede gazed at the tribe ahead, its body trembling.

The Ice Phoenix didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"The good news is that the Celestial Crystal Dragon Ant is on the fifth floor; the bad news is that it has become the totem of the Celestial Ant tribe and is guarded by a barbarian king who is comparable to a Yuanhun Wizard... Well, let's think about it carefully."

……

The fourth level of the ancient pagoda.

What you see is the boundless blue sea.

On a deserted island, a blue portal floats.

Two wizards were hidden in the shadowy dimensions surrounding the portal.

They were dressed in Shadow Ring robes; one was a fully-fledged fourth-ring member, and the other a seasoned fourth-ring member.

The one with a perfect fourth ring is called Shadow Crocodile, while the one with a senior fourth ring is Shadow Dog.

As the top wizarding organization of the Shadow School, the Shadow Ring also sent a considerable number of people in this time.

The two of them were assigned here to intercept and kill any wizards who broke into the fourth floor, and to steal their treasures!

Why go through all the trouble of searching for resources when you can just snatch them from someone else?

Using this method, Shadow Crocodile and Shadow Hound have successively intercepted and killed several wizards and aliens.

Of course, if they sense a tough opponent, such as the Amethyst Clan, they will stay far away.

"Fewer and fewer wizards are coming to the fourth floor. It seems that the remaining ones don't have the strength to come up," Shadowhound said.

"Let's wait another year. If no one's around, we'll go to the fifth floor," Shadow Crocodile said in a hoarse voice.

The third level of the ancient pagoda.

Portal entrance.

Two senior fourth-circle wizards were lingering, seemingly hesitant about whether to proceed to the fourth level.

They are members of a Five Rings Wizarding Organization.

Not long ago, their leader, a senior fourth-circle wizard with five talents, died shortly after entering the fourth level.

Therefore, they suspected that someone on the other side was blocking the entrance, and their strength was at least at the fourth level of perfection. For a moment, they were caught in a dilemma.

suddenly.

An arrogant figure arrived. It was tall and burly, wielding a purple spiked club. On its shoulders were a black sparrow on the left and a bluebird on the right, and a small red-horned snake was coiled around its arm. It also carried a large bag on its back, looking like it had reaped a considerable harvest.

It was Li Wei who had arrived, travel-worn. To avoid attracting attention, he had already sealed Sokins inside the Book of Gargamel. Otherwise, a level-five extraordinary creature would be too conspicuous and inevitably attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. As for the Flying Scythe Beasts, Li Wei was temporarily carrying them on a large bag, and he would release them after passing through the portal.

"Hehehe, all of you get out of my way, I'm going to pass the level!"

Li Wei chuckled and arrived at the checkpoint.

When the evil dragon attacked, the two wizards fled.

"Run! It's a dragon!"

"It even brought a bunch of pets with it. It seems it doesn't know that if too many people attempt to clear this third level at the same time, it will trigger the Gale Swordsman's berserk mode... Tsk tsk tsk, even a seasoned fourth-ring wizard wouldn't fare well, let alone a fully-fledged fourth-ring wizard!"

"Dragon monsters are different from us wizards. They're just a bunch of brute-force lunatics. They definitely didn't do any planning before they came. They just relied on brute force to break through."

"However, if this dragon can get through, it should attract the attention of those blocking the gate on the other side. While the two sides are fighting, we can make our escape... Otherwise, let's give this dragon a heads-up so that he can get through."

"Alright."

Just as Li Wei was preparing to pass the test, the wizard's voice came from behind him in the distance.

"That dragon monster over there... oh no, buddy, the guardians on this level adjust their strength based on the number of challengers. If you want to get through, I suggest you put down your pets. In the guardians' eyes, these pets are also considered challengers!"

Long Nie turned around, his face contorted with rage, and said:

"Get lost! You look down on us Dragon Scoundrels, huh? I'm in a good mood right now, so I won't tear you to pieces. Now get lost!"

The two wizards in the distance turned pale; their good intentions had been completely wasted.

"Just wait to fail."

"Exactly, these alien races are truly arrogant."

The two cursed and swore, preparing to see Long Nie make a fool of himself.

Li Wei, with a crooked mouth and carrying a spiked club, slowly walked over, exuding an air of domineering arrogance.

In front of the portal.

A female swordsman clad in silver armor began to appear.

Her body was translucent, like a gaseous creature.

Clearly, this is not a true human, but a spirit of the wind element.

She stretched out her hand, and the air currents condensed into a giant sword!

At the same time, her aura, which was originally comparable to that of a senior member of the Fourth Ring Road, began to rise until it reached the perfection of the Fourth Ring Road and was infinitely close to the Fifth Ring Road before stopping.

Li Wei shot out, his spiked club flying high behind him!

"Get out of my way, sir!"

The spiked club swung out!

The most extreme brute force, the most simple and straightforward strike!

An invisible gust of wind swept through, causing the female swordsman's long hair to billow and her gaseous body to begin to deform!

boom!

The spiked club clashed with her longsword!

Click.

Just one strike!

Her longsword began to shatter, dispersing into countless streams of air.

The spiked club slammed into her armor, shattering it and sending her flying!

The Swiftwind Swordsman was sent flying a thousand meters away, dispersing into a cloud of wind element.

Li Wei casually stepped inside and disappeared.

The two wizards in the distance were so shocked their jaws nearly dropped to the floor.

"Damn it, why is the Creator so unfair? We've cultivated for hundreds of years, accumulating magic, knowledge... so much research, and it's all for nothing compared to a single blow from this damned alien race! Cultivation, my ass!"

"Quick, stop talking, let's take this opportunity and charge over there!"

……

The other side of the portal.

Li Wei stepped out, his face seemingly radiating invincibility, his dragon-like aura fully revealed.

"Finally, it's the fourth floor."

In my mind, a partial map of the fourth floor appeared.

"Next, the first priority is to find the water-type hybrid dragon race, and then look for other resources and treasures."

He took a step forward and flew ahead. Just then, a sudden change occurred.

Around Li Wei, in the shadow dimension, two dark figures attacked, their attacks arriving in an instant!

"Shadow Jaw!"

"Sky-Piercing Shadow Blade!"

Two fourth-ring talent spells perfectly surrounded Li Wei, blocking his movement.

Immediately afterwards, a dense barrage of magical attacks swept in from all directions.

It's obvious that they're very experienced and have done this many times before.

"Tsk tsk tsk, a level four dragon monster, its scales should be usable as crafting materials." Shadowhound chuckled as he cast a spell.

"That purple spiked club it was holding just now looks nice; it must be made of top-quality materials. It seems vaguely familiar," Shadow Crocodile said.

With their strength, a sneak attack would be devastating, even to the toughest dragons, if not killed, if not killed!

A moment later.

A mocking voice suddenly rang out behind Shadow Crocodile and Shadow Hound.

"What are you two fighting about?"

As the magical fluctuations dissipated, they realized that there was nothing there where they had attacked...

From the crimson darkness, a black-scaled dragon flew out, its spiked club swung high in the air!

The clouds in the sky were torn apart by its powerful gusts of wind.

boom!

This blow was earth-shattering!

The shadow dog exploded into a bloody mist, utterly dead.

Shadow Crocodile, on the other hand, relied on a magical artifact to dodge the attack.

He stared at the purple staff shadow in front of him and suddenly realized!

"You...you made this spiked club from the body of a member of the Amethyst Clan?"

"You guessed right! That so-called supreme race is nothing but a load of rubbish! They're only fit to be my weapon, and you are utterly unworthy!"

escape!

Shadow Crocodile had only one thought!

The dragon demon capable of killing the Amethyst Clan is definitely not someone like myself, a mere fourth-ring perfectionist, can contend with; it's more like a prodigy.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Li Wei swung his bat again, but this time, he hit a black and red spiral fireball as if he were hitting a baseball!

"middle!"

A mushroom cloud shot into the sky, and the small island trembled.

The Shadow Crocodile was inside; its force field shattered, and the sorcerer's artifact had long since crumbled.

"I am the Ring of Shadows..."

A giant hand suddenly appeared, shattered his force field, and removed his head.

"What kind of strength do you have to block the door?" Li Wei thought disdainfully.

After he emerged from the portal, he used his danger perception to detect that someone was lurking nearby.

He collected his spoils, cleaned up the battlefield, and left.

Not long after, the two wizards on the third floor appeared one after the other through the portal.

They stared in shock at the devastated island, scorched by the terrifying heat, and at the departing figure of the dragon.

"Tell me, how does one become a dragon abomination?"

"First, you need to have a dragon dad."

……

the other side.

Li Wei found a place and took stock of the spoils of war.

I've discovered quite a few good things from these two Shadow School wizards.

"The price of Tai Shi alone is two million. These two guys seem to have killed quite a few of their fellow wizards this way... How shameless! Their moral standards are even lower than mine, this dragon wretch!"

Besides Taishi, there are many other resources, including witchcraft artifacts.

Of all these treasures, what pleased Li Wei the most was that there was actually a piece of [Flame Iron].

This is exactly the level 5 fire element metal that Li Wei needs.

"The Crimson Dragon Iron Cutter can be reforged."

As Li Wei flew, he searched for a suitable place to forge the gold.

The fourth level is a water world resembling an endless sea.

In the ocean, many sea creatures roam.

"Baby whiskered whale, bloodtooth shark, glass turtle..."

Along the way, Li Wei encountered many sea beasts. Although they weren't hybrid dragons, he really wanted to take them back and raise them.

Unfortunately, the Alice Ring couldn't be opened. This left him quite disappointed, sighing in vain as he gazed at the "beast" with longing.

After leaving the teleportation portal for thousands of miles, Li Wei found a small island with a volcano, set up a magic array, and began to cultivate in seclusion.

Three months have passed quickly.

The sky above the small island.

Every now and then, the flight paths of wizards or other races would streak across the sky.

There are more wizards staying on the fourth floor than on the third floor.

The fifth level is a major hurdle; those who can enter are either members of top-tier organizations or are themselves fifth-circle wizards or fourth-circle wizards at their peak.

Ordinary senior wizards of the fourth ring cannot even get in. Many wizards who manage to reach the fourth level by sheer luck are stuck here.

If viewed from God's perspective in this water world, one would find that all the ocean currents in the fourth layer converge towards the center.

The center of the world.

Ocean currents from all directions converge and surge into the sky, forming a pillar of ocean currents thousands of miles wide. The top of the currents radiates outwards, resembling a world tree.

At the top of the World Tree lies a colossal island surrounded by a cluster of floating islets. Though called an island, it is as vast as a continent. Explorers refer to it as the "Sea Continent." The ring of islands surrounding the continent is known as the "Star Ring Islands."

Besides the vast overseas territory, half of the resource points on the fourth level are located on these floating islands.

Competition here is fierce, and key resource points are mostly monopolized by fourth-ring or even fifth-ring wizards. Every now and then, figures leave the mainland, fleeing across the sea, clearly defeated in the competition and being hunted by enemies.

The edge of the sea.

A secluded volcanic island.

Li Wei worked tirelessly, and after countless hammerings, the brand-new crimson longsword hummed before him, its crimson dragon totem becoming increasingly lifelike.

After being reforged, the Crimson Dragon Iron Cutter has undergone a complete transformation, becoming entirely different from before. Its divine weapon level has also reached level four!

This means that the divine weapon has increased Li Wei's power by a terrifying 50%!

"I keep the Crimson Dragon Iron Cleaver as my trump card and don't show it to others easily. With my current strength, the Black Dragon Staff can wipe out most of the enemies on the fourth floor."

Levi left the island and released the flying scythe beasts from the large bag on his back.

He said, "Go, go to this vast sea, you will be my eyes!"

"Yes, Lord Kamaitachi."

The Kamaitachi is the god of this tribe of flying sickle beasts.

Li Wei could sense everything these flying sickle beasts saw and heard.

With these, Li Wei's efficiency in finding resources, treasures, and extraordinary creatures will be greatly enhanced.

He released Soggins.

"Go to the floating islands in the center, indulge yourself, rob as much as you want... Don't worry, I'll be secretly following you and protecting you."

Sokins was incredibly clever; he immediately understood what Levi meant, and his massive pincers gestured famously.

Li Wei smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not lying to you. Those people are covered in gold coins... If not, I'll compensate you double when we get back to my hometown!"

The giant blue crab immediately brandished its massive pincers, took off on the wind, and flew away impatiently.

Li Wei, carrying a spiked club and with hermit runes flashing, disappeared into the sea.
