Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 311 Self-created combat technique, "Heavenly Dragon Sword Manual"! (Long chapter, please vote and subscribe!)

The Dark Tower, fourth level, on the sea continent.

A few days later, Li Wei finished taking stock of the spoils he had captured some time ago.

Li Wei destroyed two wizarding organizations, Thor's Hammer and Valley of a Thousand Winds, and then some rogue wizards who were unfortunately caught up in the conflict.

It seemed passionate and exciting, but in reality, not many people were killed; the main ones killed were two fifth-ring wizards.

He wouldn't go so far as to massacre all wizards; that would only harm himself. After all, there are so many wizards, and if some of them are just pretending to be weak while actually being strong, he would be caught off guard.

Of course, even so, the gains were quite substantial.

The total amount of Taishi is three million. Currently, Li Wei's Taishi reserves have reached as much as 1500 million. He has never been so wealthy, even in the Wizarding World.

It just goes to show that these top wizarding organizations are still rich, bringing so many Tai Stones with them when they entered the ancient tower.

In addition, Li Wei also seized two fifth-ring witch artifacts; one was contributed by the Black Thunder Wizard, and the other by the one from the Valley of a Thousand Winds.

Other fifth-circle wizards may not even have fifth-circle artifacts, and Li Wei already has more than he can use.

In addition, there are abundant medicinal herb resources and mineral resources.

If these resources were taken to the Wizarding World, they could probably start from scratch and build a fifth-ring wizarding family.

Li Wei discovered that he had almost finished assembling the recipe for the [Demon Soul Potion], which he would use to aid meditation after reaching the fifth ring.

Once he advances to the fifth ring, he will no longer need to worry about the fifth ring meditation aid potion.

"It has to be the Dark Tower! In the Wizarding World, with my status and position, gathering so many materials would be an impossible task!"

Knowledge of things like magic and the three arts of wizardry has also been greatly expanded.

Besides the usual gains mentioned above, what surprised Levi were two things he obtained from the Black Lightning Wizard.

One of them is the wonder of truth.

He stretched out his hand, and a fat, purple worm appeared in his palm, writhing and crackling with lightning. Even a force field less than that of a mid-level wizard could not withstand it.

According to Li Wei's consultation with the Encyclopedia of Truth and Wonders, this is an Earth-level wonder, the [Thunder Insect Pupa].

This rare item can only be created in places rich in lightning element, under certain conditions.

The pupa of the thunder worm is merely the first form of this strange creature.

If it can safely nurture for thousands of years in a place rich in lightning element, it may evolve into a Sky-level rare artifact, the [Thunder Butterfly]. Its effects would be far more powerful than those of a Thunder Insect pupa.

Of course, Li Wei didn't have time to wait for it to undergo a thousand-year transformation. He was going to refine it now.

The second discovery was a black ball of lightning that kept disappearing.

The lightning ball seemed to possess a spirit, trembling incessantly in Li Wei's palm.

Li Wei didn't know what this thing was at first, but there was a book in the Black Lightning Wizard's ring called "Illustrated Compendium of Extraordinary Lightning".

The above details nearly a hundred different types of lightning that the Thunder School wizards have discovered so far.

Most of the lightning in this world is the most basic purple lightning, which is also the basic lightning technique of the lightning school, such as the Thunder Dragon family.

Besides the purple lightning, there are all sorts of strange and unusual types of lightning.

These different types of lightning vary greatly in power; some are even stronger than purple lightning, such as the Lightning family's [Golden Lightning].

Some are less powerful than purple lightning. For example, there is a type called "Ten Thousand Poison Lightning". It has very poor basic destructive power, but it has extremely strong negative energy toxicity, which can corrode all things, even the primordial soul of a high-level wizard!

The Black Lightning Wizard's technique is called [Black Annihilation Lightning]. Its destructive power is similar to Purple Lightning, but this lightning possesses extremely strong adhesiveness. If struck, it will relentlessly inflict continuous damage on the enemy, requiring a very long time to eradicate. Therefore, its actual power is comparable to [Golden Lightning].

This strange type of lightning is similar to a wondrous object of truth, born and nurtured by nature.

Unlike other rare items, if the owner of a different type of lightning dies, it can be separated again and choose a new owner.

In terms of rarity, this [Black Annihilation Lightning] is even rarer than the [Lightning Insect Chrysalis]!

Li Wei carefully sealed it in a specially made container, intending to study it first and not rush to refine it. His immediate priority was to refine the wondrous object of truth.

Having gained experience from the previous two refining attempts, this time it was much easier. Six months later, Li Wei successfully refined the wondrous object.

Inside the island.

Li Wei opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with lightning.

He looked inward into his mind and discovered that 441 spiritual stars had been condensed within the Holy Tower of the Ring.

He placed his hand on the Klein crystal ball.

[Mental Strength: 441/540]

[Spell Power: 20250]

"What a pity, this wondrous item didn't directly enhance my mental strength," Li Wei sighed.

It seems that not all rare items can directly increase mental power; only top-tier items like the [Breath of the Weasel] can do so.

The Thunder Insect pupa can also enhance the power of lightning spells. Li Wei tested it and found that the speed of Thunder Dragon Flash was significantly increased.

Moreover, if someone only has two third-ring talents, the Thunderbug Chrysalis can make up for their shortcomings and complete their talents.

Li Wei is already a sixth-tier, fourth-ring wizard, so he doesn't need this ability.

However, he could sense that his Thunder Dragon Flash talent was somewhat different from before.

Presumably, for a wizard like him who is already full of talent, the artifact of truth can make up for the flaws and deficiencies in his talent, which should also be beneficial for advancing his elemental soul.

In summary, the most useful effect for Li Wei is the increase of 10 points to his maximum mental strength.

This means that his success rate in advancing to the Yuan Soul level has increased by 1% in the future.

What may seem insignificant is actually a huge step forward each time.

With the help of three Earth-level rare artifacts, Li Wei's success rate has increased by an additional 4%.

It's important to know that the success rate of some ordinary Yuan Soul breakthrough potions is only in the single digits.

After digesting the strange object, he disguised himself as an ordinary wizard and took a trip to the sea continent during his spare time from cultivation.

Even without the oppression of top-tier wizarding organizations, ordinary wizards didn't have an easy life.

Melee, slaughter, factionalism, intrigue, endless fighting.

Li Wei lamented that humanity could never escape this pattern.

After one mountain is toppled, another new one rises up, and the cycle repeats itself.

The oppressed ordinary wizards will one day become the new oppressors.

But in general, rather than having all the resources concentrated in the hands of those top wizarding organizations, Levi would prefer them to be obtained by these ordinary wizards.

When he was weak, he was oppressed by the Thunder Dragon Clan many times.

Of course, all this commotion had nothing to do with Li Wei. He also looked down on the remaining resources on the mainland.

Next, his goals were twofold: firstly, to continue practicing his breathing techniques and advance more of them to the fourth stage of the Blood Origin Realm; and secondly, to use the Flying Scythe Beast to pinpoint the locations of several resource points.

These places are inhabited by creatures of level five or above without exception.

Near one of the resource points, the Flying Scythe Beasts even spotted a giant octopus with tentacles a full kilometer long, suspected to be the legendary creature, the Kraken, a genuine Level 6 creature!

Throughout Nora's history, some mortals and wizard apprentices have witnessed the terror of the Kraken.

Li Wei obtained a book called "The Siren's Breathing Technique" in his early years, and its prototype was very likely a deep-sea monster!

Within a radius of tens of thousands of miles around the Kraken, Li Wei has designated it as a forbidden zone, which must absolutely not be entered!

……

The year 1176 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Primordial Moon.

The 11th year of the Dark Tower calendar.

The 75th Round Table Meeting of the Twilight Knights was held.

At this meeting, the Twilight Knights used up all three remaining slots.

After more than a century of accumulating strength, the Knights Order made an unprecedented appearance last year with four first-class knights.

These four were selected through a competition, with one person eliminated and three finalists chosen.

They are respectively the Bear Mountain Knight, the Snow Dragon Knight, and the Pheasant Knight.

Among them, the Bear Mountain Knight and the Snow Dragon Knight both practiced power-type breathing techniques, while the Pheasant Knight practiced speed-type breathing techniques.

Their breathing techniques were not of perfect quality, but their talent was exceptional, and they practiced diligently, eventually all of them successfully advancing to the next level.

All eighteen knights sat upright, and even the Knight of Flowers, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, was present.

Looking at so many faces, Li Wei said with emotion, "Gentlemen, being one of the Eighteen Riders of Twilight is not just a position, but a symbol. In the days to come, I hope you will continue to work hard and strive for even higher goals. Also... the younger generation surpasses the older generation, so cultivate yourselves well, or you may be eliminated at any time."

"clear!"

Xiong Shan, Xue Long, and the Pheasant Knight all nodded, a sense of crisis and urgency rising within them.

Apart from those three, the other knights have already fallen far short of the Temple's average level, so they are unlikely to be eliminated.

Therefore, the ones we really need to pay attention to are them!

The main purpose of this meeting was to welcome the new students; there weren't any major issues discussed.

Afterwards, the Knight of Flowers convened a separate meeting with Li Wei.

"Good evening, Commander."

"I'm relieved to see you're safe and sound."

"Are you concerned about me?" Baihua asked with a smile.

Li Wei smiled and said, "Yes...but I care about all the members."

"Getting back to the main point, I'd like to report to you on the recent situation."

"Speaking."

"The Letney family sent a Soul Wizard with Soret into the Thunder Pool Secret Realm, and I've also infiltrated it. However, this secret realm is vast, and the power of lightning element is dense within it. I can't fully utilize my strength. At present, it seems unlikely that I can snatch food from the mouth of the Letney family, who are thriving there."

"Understood. Your priority is to save your own life. Save Soret if you can, but if you can't, then abandon him. You can't waste too much time on this."

"Don't worry too much about me. I've already gained a lot on the seventh floor. It was worth the trip. I should thank you for giving me the key to get in... By the way, is everything going well on your end?"

"Hmm, it's alright."

Li Wei was far from just "good enough." After entering the ancient tower, he had already refined two rare artifacts of truth. Along the way, he had amassed a fortune by scavenging trash, along with countless resources. Of course, these things were not to be told to outsiders.

"Oh, right, Captain, there's something I forgot to tell you. I have some friends from the Panda plane who have also entered the Ancient Tower. They're those adorable bear-men. If you encounter them, you can help them out to the best of your ability. If you're in trouble, they'll definitely be happy to help you too," said the Knight of Flowers.

"I see."

She chatted with the Knight of Flowers for quite a while before logging off.

"When will I be able to summon a Yuanhun (Primal Soul)?"

Suddenly sighing, Li Wei returned to his solitary days of repetitive practice.

……

Time flies when you're on a spiritual journey; four years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The year 1180 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowers.

Besides holding roundtable meetings every year to learn about the outside world and the situation in Guta, Li Wei spends all his time gaining experience on the island.

This year alone, Andrew has become a second-circle wizard, living up to his identity as the son of the earth element.

The Black Knight, who reached the first-ring wizard realm earlier than him, is now barely a senior first-ring wizard, which shows the difference in wizarding talent.

And Andrew's knightly cultivation level is also very close to level two.

Li Wei was very optimistic about Andrew's potential; this kid had the potential to become his true right-hand man.

Over the past four years, the Black Knight and the Holy Ape Knight have also successively entered the Blood Origin Second Transformation realm.

The Silver Dragon Knights and Darkmoon Knights of the middle generation are not far from reaching level three.

The new generation of first-level knights are striving to become second-level knights.

Over the past four years, with the improvement of the knightly theoretical system, the enrichment of practical experience, and the increase in the number of personnel, several more first-level knights have emerged in the Temple.

Li Wei no longer pays much attention to these things.

With the elders of the Knights of Favonius around, he didn't need to worry about matters of the Temple.

For the past four years, the Ancient Saint Plane has remained secluded overseas, undisturbed. Occasionally, some ignorant wizards or aliens have strayed into the magic circle, but they have been easily killed.

In the Nightmare World, his forces are growing in number, and he has already discovered some clues about the Nightmare Dragons, searching for their exact location. Once he finds the Nightmare Dragons, Li Wei will personally enter and subdue them.

The Dark Tower has been open for 15 years to date.

Fifteen years is neither a long nor a short time.

On the fourth level of the ancient tower, on the continent at sea, the chaos has largely subsided. Thanks to the three-headed dragon and Matron Rose, these rogue wizards have gained something, ensuring they won't return empty-handed.

Of course, the top wizarding organizations outside were furious with those two bastards, Dragon Abomination and Matriarch.

So many resources, wasted on rogue wizards—it's infuriating to think about. Normally, these resources would be destroyed rather than given to them. That would only strengthen the unstable elements and threaten their dominance.

After four years of cultivation, Li Wei became more reserved and gradually put away the arrogant aura that Long Nie had once possessed.

At this moment, he is on the beach, facing the sea, practicing his sword skills.

His sword technique consists of only one strike, called "Undying Dragon Slash".

This was a level four sword skill that he had created long ago by borrowing from the headless swordsman's "Undying Slash" and incorporating his own ideas.

Now, he has mastered this swordsmanship to a level of consummate skill.

For the past four years, he has been researching sword techniques that are even more powerful than the Annihilation Sword Qi.

Finally, things have started to look promising.

He suddenly unleashed devastating sword energy, and then unleashed the Undying Dragon Slash.

I continuously experienced the changes and mysteries of these two sword techniques.

Ultimately, his two sword techniques became increasingly harmonious.

He was completely absorbed in practicing swordsmanship, day and night.

He forgot about meditation and breathing techniques, and gradually all that remained in his mind was the sword in his hand.

At some point, Li Wei suddenly had an epiphany, and he continued to learn and explore sword techniques that suited him.

On the proficiency panel, [Shattering Sword Aura], [Undying Dragon Slash], and the combat skills that Li Wei learned and that were created by other members kept flashing and changing.

"The art of swordsmanship need not be bound by form, but should resonate with my will. The myriad variations of swordsmanship are solely for expressing the will in my heart with my ultimate power, shattering shackles and cages, and cutting down all that does not conform to my wishes! My will is... the dragon! The dragon is the embodiment of power, the strongest creature, the end of mythology!"

After an unknown period of time, the power of the Crimson Emperor Dragon within Li Wei suddenly burst forth, merging with the longsword in his hand.

Accompanied by a dragon's roar.

A phantom crimson dragon then slashed out, engulfing the sky in flames, and charged into the sea with unstoppable momentum!

He has perfectly combined his sword skills with the Crimson Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique.

This sword strike unleashed the invincible, all-powerful aura of the Crimson Emperor Dragon!

This sword strike is the ultimate expression of power!

With immense power and force, it could split a mountain in two with grand, sweeping strokes!

boom!

Wherever the Crimson Emperor Dragon Sword Qi passed, the sea before them suddenly split open into a wide and expansive road leading to the heavens!

White mist rises, the seabed is revealed, sea fish boil, sea beasts scatter, and the sword energy ceases a thousand feet away.

Li Wei gently waved his hand, and the separated seawater chasm merged back together.

"That last sword strike, without using the power of the Six Paths Celestial Gods or any enhancements, relying solely on the pure power of the Crimson Emperor Dragon and the inherent power of the sword technique itself, still reached the level of a fifth-grade skill. Without a doubt, it's a fifth-grade combat technique. After over a hundred years of cultivation, I've finally created a sword technique commensurate with my strength. Although it's only one move, it's more than enough. This sword technique has great potential for future development; any new sword techniques can be incorporated into it. Let's just name it 'Heavenly Dragon Sword Manual.' And what should we name the first move of the Heavenly Dragon Sword Manual?"

"The Roar of the Crimson Dragon? That sounds so cheesy and lacks sophistication."

Li Wei, who was terrible at naming things, fell into deep thought. His sword moves had already broken free from the constraints of this world, which were bound by rigid forms, and had developed a freehand style reminiscent of ink splashing and brushstrokes.

He pondered deeply before saying, "This sword strike, incorporating the true essence of the Crimson Emperor Dragon, is like a flying dragon in the sky, surpassing everything. Let's just call it... Crimson Dragon in the Sky."

Li Wei sheathed his sword and put it into his body. On this day, his strength once again achieved a leap forward.

By combining the characteristics and artistic conception of the other five dimensions of breathing techniques, Li Wei can continue to create even more sword moves. The "Heavenly Dragon Sword Manual" will then become a constantly evolving and perfectly suited sword technique for Li Wei.

Li Wei opened the proficiency panel, where he had mastered all the combat skills he had previously learned, forming a complete "Heavenly Dragon Sword Manual".

Li Wei——————

Heavenly Dragon Sword Manual: Level 10 (1/200,000), Special Effect: Heavenly Dragon Sword Intent.

……

[Heavenly Dragon Sword Intent: The dragon soars through the nine heavens, its intent reaching far and wide. You can comprehend the essence of the dragon, using your sword to unleash its divine might. Your comprehension of sword techniques is extraordinary.]

"I have now embarked on a completely different path of swordsmanship. From now on, I am the head of the Heavenly Dragon Sword Sect... and it seems that I am the only one." Li Wei said with self-deprecation.

In these four years, in addition to comprehending the Heavenly Dragon Sword Manual, Li Wei has also made progress in his breathing techniques.

Although the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique still lacks an earth-type dragon, it can still be practiced with the help of the dragon turtle, although the speed is not as fast as having both elements.

Both the Crimson Emperor Dragon and Sky Dragon Breathing Techniques are steadily improving, but they are still far from reaching the sixteenth level of perfection.

Next, Li Wei estimated that he would reach the seventeenth level after becoming a fifth-circle wizard.

The Crimson Dragon and Death Dragon breathing techniques are still quite far from reaching level sixteen; they can only be refined slowly.

The Way of the Wizard.

Of the six innate spells, only the sixth innate spell, Ice Dragon Prison, is not yet fully perfected.

Li Wei wasn't in a hurry. Since entering the ancient tower, he hadn't used his wizarding skills for a long time in order to play the role of the dragon demon.

In fact, with his current strength, he doesn't even need innate magic to kill his enemies.

Li Wei gazed at the sea and pondered, "It's time to go out to sea to gather resources... But before that, I'll give the Lover's Rune a final push; metaphysics is still quite useful."

Li Wei immediately entered seclusion mode.

On the island, Soggins was counting the gold coins he had hidden in his belly over and over again, his eyes filled with fascination. He truly loved money, purely and simply.

The dragon turtle, on the other hand, diligently cultivates itself under the guidance of Li Wei's success-oriented marketing principles.

In this respect, it is different from those hybrid dragons, despite being a sub-dragon species.

Most hybrid dragons are content with their lot and rarely have any inherited secret techniques.

The dragon turtle knew that although it had a long lifespan, it grew too slowly, which is why it decided to start early.

Other extraordinary creatures also grew up on the island.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and the winter month has arrived.

On the island, Li Wei broke through the barrier, his momentum soaring to the heavens.

"Hahaha, the Lover's Rune is now at Tier 6, with a 50% luck boost! I refuse to believe this trip was fruitless!"

Li Wei used metaphysics to numb himself and left the island.

……

The Dark Tower.

The fifth floor.

One of the confluences is the "Youth Plain".

This place is ruled by a kingdom that worships the "Goddess of Youth," a kingdom called the Ancient Banyan Empire. At the center of the kingdom stands an ancient banyan tree, a thousand feet tall, like a mountain.

At the base of the tree, there is a tree hole. Passing through the tree hole, you can enter the "Ancient Banyan Wonderland" and meet the Goddess of Youth. Legend has it that the goddess is immortal and lives there all year round.

In the fairyland, there is a spring called the "Fountain of Youth," also known as the "Fountain of Immortality."

The Fountain of Youth has the effect of prolonging life. If an ordinary person drinks one sip, they will stay young forever; if they drink two sips, they will live a long and healthy life; and if they drink three sips, living to a hundred years old without illness or disaster is not a problem.

this day.

A group of uninvited guests arrived at the Youth Plain.

One of them had an aloof expression and wore a white sorcerer's robe embroidered with tornadoes. A pure white dragon was seen breathing clouds and mist in the wind, and this person had a single pure white horn on his forehead.

He rode a giant purple wolf, which, though called a wolf, was actually covered in dragon scales, had horns on its forehead, wings on its back, and its head was a hybrid of a dragon and a wolf.

The sub-dragon species, Thunderstorm Wolf Dragon, can rival the Elemental Soul Wizard in its fully evolved form.

The fact that someone can ride such a creature shows that they are extraordinary.

He is none other than the hidden ace of Hurricane Sky Island, Sky Dragon Wizard Theros!

He rarely makes a move, so his ranking on the Ancient Tower list is not high, far below that of the Flame Dragon Slayer. However, no one knows his true strength!

Kongtianlongwu said calmly, "Someone, open the passage to the Ancient Banyan Secret Realm."

"My lord, this is not a good idea. What if we anger the Ancient Banyan King..."

Sky Dragon Witch frowned slightly and said coldly, "Just do what I tell you to do, don't talk nonsense."

The subordinates dared not delay and immediately flew towards the tree hole.

The ancient banyan tree stood silently, its branches swaying without making a sound.

The man successfully entered the tree hollow and said happily, "Lord Theros, the entrance to this secret realm is open."

Theros said calmly, "Then go and retrieve the Fountain of Youth. I want to see what it is and whether it is as miraculous as rumored. If it can also prolong the life of wizards, then it is an immeasurable treasure."

After the wizard entered the tree hollow, he arrived at a secret realm.

Here, ancient trees reach for the sky, streams murmur in the forest, and on the distant horizon, there is even an endless sea.

He moved through it carefully.

In the center of the secret realm stands a grand hall with an ancient and simple design.

"I found the fountain of youth so easily, something feels off?"

In the center of the main hall, there is a pool of water from which clear spring water flows.

A naked young woman with skin as white as mutton fat and a graceful figure was bathing in it. In her hands she held an ancient golden holy chalice, which was carved with giant trees and dragons and looked like something other than ordinary.

"Excuse me, are you the Goddess of Youth? May I fetch some of the Fountain of Youth? In return, I will pay you a reward."

Wizards do not believe in gods; the so-called goddesses are merely some higher-level beings.

"You should leave. These springs are only useful to mortals. They are of no use to a spellcaster like you who has already achieved a higher level of spiritual attainment," the girl said.

"I understand. If I wanted to take some out... I didn't mean to bother you, but I'm under orders and have to take some out." He said with a helpless bitter smile.

The girl pondered for a moment, then said, "How about this, ten thousand taels of silver can be exchanged for a cup of the Fountain of Youth."

The wizard's face lit up with joy, and he said, "Thank you! Have a cup, please."

He took out the Tai Stone and made a deal with the girl.

After the transaction was completed, he left in a hurry, while the girl sat by the pool, her beautiful little feet dangling.

outside.

Sky Dragon Witch looked at his subordinates who had returned.

"Did you get it?" he asked.

"I got it. Just as you guessed, sir. This thing only works on mortals. Its effects are similar to some potions in the wizarding world. There's nothing special about it," he said.

Sky Dragon Shaman took the spring water and examined it carefully. He asked, "Besides this, are there any other special treasures?"

"It's just a girl whose background I can't figure out, and a Holy Grail."

"The Holy Grail?" Sky Dragon Witch murmured.

This Holy Grail must be a treasure.

However, as he looked at the towering ancient banyan tree, a faint but palpable pressure emanated from it. He suppressed his greed and sighed, "Let's go. This place is not meant for us."

Just then, countless branches suddenly sprouted from the ground, and in an instant, several wizards were pierced through, their force fields shattering like paper.

Only when the Sky Dragon Witch roared did a towering tornado envelop him, blocking the attacks.

"Interesting, little brat, you actually managed to block my sneak attack."

A tall and graceful figure appeared, her wheat-colored skin particularly eye-catching; it was Rose, who had entered the fifth floor.

Suddenly, the Thunderstorm Wolf Dragon beneath Sky Dragon Witch unleashed thousands of purple lightning orbs, transforming the area into a sea of ​​thunder. He himself transformed into a half-dragon, dominating the storm!

boom!

After the earth-shattering attack, Rose remained expressionless, and a streak of lightning swiftly escaped into the smoke and dust.

Knowing he was no match for Rose, Sky Dragon Witch had already escaped!

Rose did not give chase. She turned around, a smile playing on her lips, and looked at the silent Ancient Banyan King, saying with a hint of resentment, "I said I would come back."

On the surface of the Ancient Banyan King, the phantom of a young girl appeared. She calmly said, "Thirty thousand years after your death, you can still be resurrected. You truly deserve to be called the Elf Mistress who was split off from the Pandora Tree... It's just a pity that thirty thousand years later, I have already advanced to the sixth level. With the decline of one side, the other has become stronger. You are no longer my match. Rose, give up. I don't like fighting, and I don't want to kill you."

Rose said coldly, "Hand over the Holy Grail, and I will leave."

The girl sighed, "The Holy Grail is not meant for you. Don't even think about it. Even if it were given to you, it wouldn't be of any use. Many wizards more powerful than you have come here before, and they all left in the end."

Rose's long hair flew behind her, and her aura reached its peak!

"You say you've reached level six? I don't believe you! You're just an ordinary banyan tree, how could you possibly have advanced to level six? You're just bluffing!"

The next moment, she attacked the ancient banyan tree.

The earth cracked open, and suddenly a huge black pillar rose up—or more precisely, the aerial roots of a banyan tree! The aerial roots, like whips of the earth, lashed out, shattering the void and tearing apart the white clouds in the sky!

boom!

Like a pillar supporting the sky collapsing, Rose's perfect fifth-ring attack was shattered, and she was sent flying in two, her body split in two.

"Don't force me to kill you. I've said it before, I don't like fighting."

Rose coughed up blood, her face was pale, but her body had recovered.

She gazed at the ancient banyan tree and said with resentment, "I will come back again!"

The girl gazed at Rose's retreating figure and murmured, "Don't come again. Next time, I'll kill you... Rose."

She stroked the Holy Grail in her arms, and suddenly a calm voice came from within it:

"That elven woman is really persistent."

……

The year 1181 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of Green Grass.

The fourth level of the ancient pagoda.

A bottomless abyss.

Li Wei sensed a level 5 being here and guessed that there was a resource point here.

His hermit runes flashed, and he had already reached the seabed.

This place is covered with strange plants that emit fluorescent light.

"Glowing Grass, highly poisonous, yet a precious level-five herb, a key ingredient in Demon Soul Potions. Wait, there's even a two-thousand-year-old one! That's a level-six herb..."

Li Wei was in a great mood.

With this, he only needed one more ingredient for his Demon Soul Potion. All the other ingredients were now complete.

As far as he knew, the last main ingredient was distributed on the fifth floor.

At this moment, a pair of enormous blue pincers emerged from the seabed silt, followed by eyes as bright as searchlights.

As the ocean currents rolled, an enormous, indigo-colored lobster with giant claws appeared.

"Why does this feel like Sorkins's good brother?"

Li Wei's expression shifted, and he quickly left the seabed.

The large blue lobster, its tail thumping, chased after it like a cannonball.

Li Wei dared not act here, fearing he would ruin the herbs.

Come and chase me.

He casually unleashed a jet of black flame at the lobster's hard shell, yet it left no mark.

Soon, Li Wei leaped out of the water. A sense of danger washed over him, and he vanished from the spot in a flash.

The lobster's giant claws ripped open the sea surface and clamped down on his original spot.

boom!

A shockwave swept through!

The waves are towering!

"Not bad power, but unfortunately it's still a bit lacking compared to Sokins. What's your name? If you're willing to follow me, you can avoid some physical pain; otherwise... Ouch! You actually dare to attack me! I think you're tired of living. Today I'll teach you how to respect the strong, and show you what a truly powerful race is!"

Li Wei attempted to persuade them to surrender, but was instead blasted thousands of meters away by a high-pressure water cannon shot from the lobster's mouth.

He flew over, his black scales overlapping and surrounded by black flames, cursing and swearing.

"Take this!"

The spiked club clashed with the lobster's giant claw—a pure physical attack, simple and unadorned!

The lobster and Levi were thrown quite a distance.

Li Wei looked tiny in front of the lobster noodles, but his strength was by no means inferior.

This kind of brutal, hand-to-hand combat made the dragon blood in Li Wei's body boil.

In the end, without relying on the Six Paths God, Li Wei smashed the lobster's shell, causing its juices to flow freely.

"Hehehe, do you submit? If not, fight again! But, I'm about to draw my sword!"

Li Wei laughed wildly, stomping the lobster onto an island. He drew the Crimson Dragon Iron Blade from his body, the longsword blazing with black flames, pointing it at the lobster with an air of invincibility!

This lobster's strength is inferior to Soggins', barely reaching level five. Perhaps it's because it's a "shrimp soldier," while Soggins is a "crab general"...

Moreover, judging from his appearance, this guy isn't very intelligent; he's not as sensible as Sokins.

Li Wei was not in a hurry. He directly suppressed it here, sat cross-legged, and stuck his long sword into the ground.

"I'll let you get up the moment you submit to me."

He said it calmly.

This lobster's stamina is far inferior to Levi's.

She soon gave up struggling and let Li Wei do as he pleased.

And so, after being suppressed by Li Wei for a month.

The lobster had no choice but to lower its proud head and submit to Li Wei.

"That's right. I'll take you to see your relatives in a while... As the Dragon King, how can I not have shrimp soldiers and crab generals under my command? With Lati added, we'll have the Turtle Prime Minister too."

Li Wei began to fantasize about using these extraordinary creatures to build a dragon palace. Later, when he became powerful enough, the Dragon King would travel there, followed by shrimp soldiers and crab generals—wouldn't that be wonderful?

After harvesting the glowing grass from the seabed and confirming there were no other treasures, Li Wei straddled the giant lobster and patted its rear end.

"From now on, I'll call you Pixar... Pixar, let's go!"

The lobster, crushed by reality, was forced to become Li Wei's mount.

For the next six months, Li Wei embarked on an exciting treasure hunt on the endless sea.

During this time, he encountered three resource points, each seemingly guarded by a level six sea beast king. If it were anyone else, rushing in headfirst would have meant certain death, but thankfully he had danger perception and was able to avoid them all.

With the increasing availability of herbs and ores, his biggest problem was no longer a lack of resources, but rather the absence of a portable living space. Otherwise, he could have taken some rare large plants and sea beasts with him and kept them in the Ancient Saint Plane.

The past six months.

By watching the projected playback, Li Wei also noticed a detail.

His battle with the giant lobster and other level-five creatures was not projected to the outside world.

However, when Soggins fought the Shadow Ring members, there was a projection.

"Although both are level five, Sokins on the third floor is considered a boss-level creature by the Ancient Tower, and all Ancient Tower participants who fight Sokins can be projected. However, the level five lobster on the fourth floor is not considered a boss. In other words, as the floor increases, the strength requirement to become a boss also increases. On the fourth floor, it is estimated that you need to be at least a senior level five to be qualified to be a boss. The lobster is at most an elite monster."

Having figured this out, Li Wei felt even more at ease. He didn't want anyone to see him bullying these adorable supernatural creatures. Even if his true identity was revealed in the future, his image in the Giant Beast Paradise wouldn't collapse.

……

The moon is ablaze with fire.

Li Wei arrived at the last resource point, and saw islands rising on the sea ahead.

Each island emitted black smoke that soared into the sky, resembling a continuous trail of smoke signals from a distance.

"The Fire Islands are rich in fire element, so there might be fire-related herbs and resources here."

As usual, after using his danger perception to initially determine that there was no Level 6 presence, Li Wei entered the area to search carefully.

Sure enough, these islands are rich in resources.

Li Wei harvested resources swiftly and decisively, prioritizing the larger resources while leaving the smaller ones, adhering to the principles of sustainable development and without disrupting the ecological balance within the ancient pagoda.

In addition to herbs, some precious fire element metals were also collected.

Eventually, he arrived near the largest volcanic island.

The intense heat here forced him to activate his Fiery Dragon True Form.

The lava spewed out by the volcano was no longer crimson, but a more intense, scorching gold.

"Blazing Gold Fire... This flame can only appear in lands with earth fire of level five or higher. Its temperature is extremely high; even a fifth-ring wizard cannot stay there for long. This place is absolutely perfect for forging my Nightmare Dragon Divine Weapon!"

Li Wei made his decision: he would forge his sixth divine weapon right here.

"But before that, we need to deal with that big guy inside the volcano."

His figure flickered, and he arrived high in the sky above the crater.

Below was a golden sea of ​​lava, within which stood a fiery red toad, radiating a powerful aura. The toad's body was gaseous, its eyes fixed on the sky, its body tense, croaking as if threatening the intruders.

"A level 5 fire elemental spirit. Judging from its aura, it's even stronger than Phoenix before, but that's not a big problem. My fire elemental resistance is high enough."

Just as Li Wei was about to make his move, a fiery red figure, resembling an infant, suddenly appeared in the magma beneath the toad.

Its eyes were alert, its hair was sparse, its face was swollen and ugly, and mysterious runes flickered on its body.

"Hiss... It's actually [Kiss of the Fire Demon]! This is a Sky-level Truth Treasure, which is extremely rare on this fourth floor. I've really struck gold. It was worth grinding my Lover Rune to level six."
