Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 316 Thunderous Infusion, Dragon Soul Secret Manual, Prodigies Rise Together! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

The year 1195 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of the Furnace.

The Dark Tower has been open for 30 years.

Li Wei, who had been living in seclusion overseas, set foot on the continent of Aion.

He left Pix to guard the extraordinary creatures on the island, while he himself quietly departed with Soggins. Soggins could protect him while he secluded himself.

"A stable Thunder Land is either a secret realm, such as the [Thunder Pool Secret Realm] on the seventh floor, or a place with abundant thunder element, where a thunder array is built to gather thousands of thunderbolts and create suitable conditions. The Thunder Dragon Family uses the second method."

Li Wei naturally used the second method, and the place he was going to was the [Jilei Basin] on the continent of Aion.

This basin is located in the western region of the Kane Empire. It is perpetually shrouded in dark clouds and experiences frequent thunderstorms.

This place is also a crossroads, but it was occupied by the empire a long time ago. The Chaos Church established the "Thunder Trial Court" here, which is responsible for judging heretics, evil cults, and sorcerers within the empire.

It is said that sinners here will be thrown into the "Thunder Pool" in the square in front of the church. The Thunder Pool will not kill the sinners instantly, but will use the continuous thunder within it to "electrotherapy" the prisoners, keeping them on the verge of life and death for a long time and causing them to suffer.

The one who created such a vicious method of punishment was a Thunder-type Dharma King of the Chaos Church.

He is known to the world as the "Thunder and Lightning King"!

The head of the Thunder Punishment Tribunal is a fifth-level thunder mage, Costas. He is stationed here year-round and is a disciple of the Thunder King. He is strict, impartial, and a terrifying nightmare for the wicked!

This Thunder Pool was actually an excellent place for Li Wei to cultivate in seclusion, but it was obviously too dangerous, so Li Wei had to stay away from it.

a few days later.

Li Wei arrived at the Jilei Basin. High in the sky, dark clouds shrouded the area, and lightning flashed everywhere.

"Not bad, the lightning elemental power is extremely concentrated, even better than the Thunder Realm. Next, I will find a secluded place, use a magic array to draw upon the power of heavenly lightning, and build an artificial [Thunder Pool] for me to cultivate in seclusion."

Li Wei, the hermit, flashed his runes as he stealthily moved along the mountains surrounding the basin.

The next day.

He arrived at one of the hidden sinkholes.

"The terrain here is good; it's suitable for me to set up a magic array."

Li Wei immediately began to busy himself, first setting up concealment, alert, and protective formations around the area.

Then, in the center of the sinkhole, he set up the magic array to lure heavenly lightning into his body.

After several busy days.

Above the sky, the already dense dark clouds became even more gloomy and oppressive.

Terrifying lightning was brewing within, and then, drawn by the magic array, it fell into this sinkhole.

Countless electric snakes surged and spread within, and an aura of destruction swept through.

As Li Wei stepped into it, the lightning was not enough to pose a life-threatening danger to him.

Generally speaking, apart from the Thunder faction, it is extremely dangerous for other factions to use the "Thunder Melting Crystallization Method" because they cannot control the intensity of the thunder and are likely to electrocute themselves.

But Li Wei is different. He has an invincible physique and can directly withstand the attack, just like when his spiritual energy liquefied in the cold pool.

By the time they reached the bottom of the sinkhole, the lava was already churning.

Li Wei revealed his true form as a Fiery Dragon and jumped into it.

"Sorkins, protect me! Kill anyone who comes near!"

Li Wei said calmly.

Soggins nodded and put away the huge sum of 1000 gold coins that Levi had prepaid to him!

At the bottom of the sinkhole, Li Wei was completely engulfed by endless lightning magma, like a cocoon containing him.

He closed his eyes and began to circulate the "Lightning Crystallization Method".

Within his mind, a full 570 drops of spiritual energy began to tremble under the power of thunder.

Countless bolts of lightning flashed on the spiritual stars, which were drawn together by a gravitational force and began to merge.

Then, 570 stars gathered together, forming a white, liquid star.

"The fusion of spiritual power is complete. There's no going back now. Crystallization, let's begin!"

……

Three months later.

Millions of mountains.

While Li Wei himself was in seclusion, the Holy Infant clone continued to diligently hone his talisman-making skills.

suddenly.

The communication device, which hadn't rung for a long time, received a message.

【Your Highness, everything is ready. Let's depart...】

Currently, the main body is focusing most of its energy on researching crystallization, so it probably can't attend to the Holy Infant's affairs. However, the Holy Infant smiled as it looked at the densely packed [Fire Dragon Calamity Divine Talismans] before it.

With a wave of her hand, all the divine symbols vanished.

The Holy Infant flew swiftly toward the coordinates of the Blood Mystery's ruins.

Before leaving, he summoned the Mind Flayer, who was already at level five, and temporarily sealed him in the Necronomicon.

It's not that we necessarily need to use Mind Flayer, it's just in case.

With a level 5 demon and a fire elemental, this journey to the ruins should be safe and sound.

a few days later.

In a certain place in the Baiwan Mountains.

There is a secluded valley.

The valley was shrouded in clouds and mist, obscuring the view inside.

A faint, terrifying roar could be heard.

Two figures stood silently on this spot.

One of them, dressed in a white robe and with an aged face, was the Ice Wizard.

The other was a cold and beautiful witch, with a huge alchemical eagle circling above her head, watching over everything around her.

"That person has arrived," the witch said calmly.

The Ice Wizard's face lit up with joy; he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

A three-foot-tall male wizard, resembling a child, flew from the horizon and landed on this spot.

"Hello, both of you."

The Holy Infant smiled calmly.

The Ice Wizard smiled and said, "Your Excellency, Holy Infant, let me introduce you. This is Mary the Witch, a fifth-circle magic array wizard, and also an alchemist."

"Hello, Ms. Mary."

Mary the Witch nodded slightly in return, and then said, "Without further ado, let's begin."

The Ice Wizard nodded and said, "There are some black beasts on the outer perimeter of the ruins, but based on my previous experience, most of them are level one or two. If we are careful, we can pass through easily... But to enter the interior of the ruins, we will have to face the three earthquake dragons. These earthquake dragons are ferocious and can create small-scale earthquake disasters. We must be careful. If we are affected by the seismic waves, even a fifth-ring force field will not last long."

Mary the Witch and the Holy Infant nodded in understanding.

"Let's go."

The three stepped into the misty valley and disappeared.

Upon entering the valley, a chilling aura enveloped the Holy Infant.

The surrounding mist seemed to hinder mental probing.

The Holy Infant looked at Phoenix on its shoulder; if a battle were to break out, it would be the main force to rely on it.

As for the Mind-Stealing Demon and the Divine Talisman, they are his hidden trump cards.

The ground was littered with corpses, which looked extremely strange, as if they had been pieced together.

"These are all modified monsters that died long ago. The Life School usually uses them to guard their homes. Ten thousand years later, they have long since turned into a pile of bones. Time is merciless," the Ice Wizard sighed.

From Mary the Witch's hand, one after another, golden ravens flew out and disappeared into the clouds.

Suddenly, the fog ahead churned, and a squeaking sound came from it.

A group of giant black rats, each as big as an ox, charged toward the three of them.

With a wave of his hand, the Ice Wizard unleashed a barrage of ice arrows, killing a large number of black rats.

"These black rats are the most common black beasts in the Dark Land. They are not strong, but there are many of them. Be careful, everyone."

Mary the Witch's golden eagle cried out, its wings flashing with runes, and a series of feather blades shot out, killing the black rat.

Flames raged around the Holy Infant, and a scorching storm swept out from him, killing a large circle of black rats.

"It's a pity that the level is too low. Otherwise, the fur of these black rats would be excellent materials for making divine talismans."

The Holy Infant sighed inwardly.

According to the Complete Book of Talismans, the best materials for making talismans are generally the hides of various animals.

He needs black beast pelts of level three or higher.

These giant rats are only at the first or second level.

Before long, the three wizards eliminated the black beasts.

Before they could even catch their breath, the fog above them began to churn, and giant bats began to descend from the sky.

"Why are there so many black beasts here?" Mary the Witch asked, frowning.

The Ice Wizard said, "This valley is dark and damp, filled with miasma and dense with negative energy. These black beasts love to inhabit places like this. However, level four black beasts are rare here, so it's alright. We can just fight our way through."

The three of them used their own methods to deal with these henchmen.

As they ventured deeper into the valley, the Ice Wizard was quickly proven wrong.

Ahead, a giant black serpent coiled in the void, its scarlet eyes fixed on the three of them.

This giant snake was over a hundred meters long, its body covered with scales covered in scars, and its tail was raised like a rattlesnake, emitting a warning sound. Its aura was already at the level of level five!

The Ice Wizard smiled wryly, "What's going on? Could it be that this valley has become a new meeting point in recent years?"

Generally speaking, newly formed intersections will have many black beasts sucked in by the ancient tower.

The Ice Wizard asked, "Gentlemen, shall we continue? This valley may be different from what I knew before. I'm not sure if there are any other dangers besides those three sub-dragons."

Mary the Witch said, "Since we're already here, let's continue. The real battle is about to begin, and hopefully some people won't hold us back." She was clearly referring to the Holy Infant Wizard who had reached the fourth level of mastery.

"I'll continue too."

The Holy Infant spoke calmly, patting Phoenix on the head.

The Ice Wizard shouted, "Attack!"

The next moment, the two wizards, along with Phoenix, attacked simultaneously.

The Ice Wizard's innate spell is the phantom of a tall and mighty ice giant.

The giant, wielding a frost-covered longsword, charged toward the black serpent.

Mary continued to fight using the Alchemist Eagle, which used wind blades, hurricanes, and air cannons to constantly harass the giant snake.

Phoenix breathed flames and fought the giant serpent.

Although the black beast was powerful, it was no match for three level-five beings.

After a while, and after putting in some effort...

The black snake was on its last breath when the ice giant chopped off its head with a single sword stroke.

Then Phoenix's fiery breath turned his head to ashes.

The black serpent was lifeless, and Phoenix returned to the Holy Infant's shoulder.

Upon seeing this, the witch Mary's expression shifted slightly, and she said calmly, "It's good to possess a level five fire elemental spirit. I wonder if you would be willing to part with it? If so, I do have some good items here that I can trade with you."

Phoenix, perched on the infant saint's shoulder, thought disdainfully, "What level are they? They think they can control me, Flame Avenger Anvada? Even if I agreed, he wouldn't. My importance to him is self-evident!"

The Holy Infant's heart stirred, but he did not rush to refuse. He smiled and said, "I wonder what good things you have? If there is anything of comparable value to this rare level five fire element spirit, I might consider it."

Phoenix was incredulous: "He really wants to hand me over to someone else? Am I really that insignificant, that dispensable, in his eyes?"

Seeing that the two seemed to be interested in making a deal, the Ice Wizard discreetly moved away and disappeared into the mist.

Mary the Witch's expression remained unchanged, but she was secretly delighted.

She had no hope at all; it was just a casual question.

After all, having a level 5 fire elemental spirit is equivalent to having an extra level 5 fighter.

Furthermore, it's an excellent tool for crafting tools, alchemy, and alchemy. Normally, no wizard would trade it away. But it seems the other party was actually persuaded.

Upon realizing this, Mary the Witch transmitted her voice, "You must be a wizard of the Burning Faction, right?"

The Holy Infant laughed and said, "That's right."

Suddenly, Mary the Witch reached out, and a furry golden mouse appeared in her hand. The mouse's eyes darted around, and it radiated a fiery aura, with runes of truth flowing around it.

"What do you think of this? Can I trade it for a level 5 fire elemental?"

Seeing this, the Holy Infant almost broke down, inwardly cursing, "Damn it, I just completed a flawless crystallization, and you're messing with my mentality again... Wait, no, this is an Earth-level artifact, the [Smell of a Giant Rat]. According to my artifact encyclopedia, this kind of artifact doesn't have the function of increasing the upper limit of spiritual power... Phew, that's much better. Let's continue crystallizing!"

Judging from the illustrated guide to strange objects.

The Scent of the Giant Rat is a fire-type Truth Wonder, and its functions, as described above, are threefold:

1. Enhance the power of fire spells.

Second, a fire-type talent spell of the third ring level is created.

Third, it is said that some very lucky wizards, after refining it, have the opportunity to give birth to a companion spirit called the "Golden-haired Giant Rat".

The golden-haired giant rat is neither a living being nor a clone, but a peculiar companion spirit.

These companion spirits usually reside inside the refiner's nose and are extremely vigilant.

The golden-haired giant rat can foresee danger to some extent, but its ability to foresee danger is far inferior to Levi's sense of danger.

Of course, in addition to being able to foresee danger, the golden-haired giant rat seems to have an innate talent for sensing magnetic fields, elements, and even treasures within a certain range.

It is said that some people have relied on this kind of magical object to replace relic hunters in searching for the relics of ancient wizards, but it is unknown how effective it was.

As for relying on the Golden-haired Giant Rat to obtain treasures, judging from the limited cases in the Illustrated Compendium of Strange Objects, it seems to be quite impractical.

Often, the places the golden-haired rat goes may not be dangerous for it, but for the wizard, they are extremely dangerous and there is no way to return.

Therefore, more people are harmed by it, while very few actually profit.

After all, if it could really significantly improve treasure hunting efficiency, it wouldn't just be an Earth-level artifact, but at least a Morning Star-level artifact.

Thinking of this, the Holy Infant lost interest and immediately became uninterested.

Compared to that, Phoenix is ​​still more appealing.

Seeing that the Holy Infant did not respond for a while, Mary the Witch asked, "How about it? Want to exchange? If so, we can sign the agreement now, and we'll trade in good faith."

The Holy Infant gave an apologetic smile, shook his head, and said, "I'm sorry, but I'll pass. Although I belong to the Burning Faction, this kind of rare item isn't very useful to me. Besides, I've developed an attachment to this Fire Elemental Spirit, so I won't trade it away easily."

Mary the Witch's face darkened, she snorted coldly, said nothing, put away the artifact, and headed forward.

Phoenix breathed a sigh of relief, inwardly cursing, "What kind of feelings are these? You only refused to trade because you saw this thing was worthless, right? If it were really valuable, you would have already traded it for me... Damn it, I've bled and sweated for you, worked tirelessly for so long, and even if I haven't done anything great, I've still put in the effort! How could you be so heartless? You truly are Anvada's mortal enemy!"

It was determined in its heart to outlive Li Wei, otherwise it wouldn't be able to make up its mind!

The Holy Infant touched Phoenix's head and continued walking forward.

Phoenix was enjoying himself, humming and whining.

Seeing that no one had collected the corpse of the level-five giant serpent, the Holy Infant muttered to himself.

"If none of you want it, then I won't be polite. This snakeskin can also be used to make divine talismans, but the effect is not as good as that of level 5 animal hide... Besides, this is a level 5 material. When we get back, we can use purification potions to remove the power of dark corruption, and use it for alchemy and weapon crafting."

The thrifty Li Wei divided the giant snake into pieces, put them into his storage ring, and followed after it.

The Ice Wizard noticed that Mary Witch's expression wasn't good, so he guessed that the deal hadn't gone well.

He could only hope that this only aunt who understood the way of magic arrays wouldn't cause any trouble, otherwise his long wait would have been in vain.

Mary the Witch remained silent, and the three of them eventually killed some more mutated creatures and black beasts before gradually venturing deeper into the ruins.

At this moment, all three wizards had solemn expressions.

Even without using their mental powers, they could sense that the earth in this region was trembling slightly and rhythmically.

The Ice Wizard said, "This is the Earthquake Dragon sleeping. If you listen carefully, you can detect three completely different rhythms, which means there are three Earthquake Dragons."

Mary the Witch said, "I will set up a trap."

Thank you.

The Holy Infant and the Extreme Ice Wizard both expressed their gratitude.

Mary the Witch remained silent as she produced a series of disc-shaped magical artifacts, intricately carved with shimmering, earthen-yellow runes.

"The Earth-Sinking Prison Formation... a five-ring magic array. Judging from this, the master is a genuine five-ring magic array wizard with some skill." This was the Holy Infant's inner assessment.

With his current level of mental strength, he could barely attempt the Five Rings Formation, but he has been busy making talismans and advancing to the Five Rings level recently, so he hasn't had time to try it yet.

Mary the Witch chanted a spell, and a pile of boulders transformed into earthen-yellow elemental power, which was poured into these array plates. The array plates spun and flew out, disappearing into the mist. If viewed from high above, a circle of earthen-yellow light could be seen, flickering erratically, before disappearing underground.

The Earth-Sinking Prison Formation is a small, portable formation that can be quickly set up within the five-ring formations.

In the eyes of the Holy Infant, in terms of power, it was not as powerful as the Seven Kings Hell that he had improved many times.

Watching Mary set up the formation, the Holy Infant pondered, "After the fifth ring, the upgraded version of the Seven Kings Hell's fifth ring should also be put on the agenda. It would be best to also study a simple, low-configuration small Seven Kings Hell formation, which would be convenient for actual combat."

"The magic circle is ready. Now, Holy Infant, go and lure the Earthquake Dragon over," Mary the Witch said calmly.

Saint Infant felt helpless; it seemed this woman was still dissatisfied with what had just happened.

Moreover, he could sense that this woman seemed to look down on him, a fourth-ring wizard. Unlike the Ice Wizard, she didn't treat him as an equal. Of course, he couldn't blame anyone else; after all, the Holy Infant's cultivation level was low.

"I'll go; I'm more familiar with this place," the Ice Wizard sighed.

"Thank you, Your Excellency," the Holy Infant said.

The Ice Wizard nodded and disappeared into the mist ahead.

After flying for an unknown amount of time, he saw a large pit ahead.

Around the pit, there were many shiny crystals, most of which were ordinary objects, but there were also some extraordinary materials that wizards could use.

Three enormous, yellowish-brown dragons, almost identical in appearance and size, were lying in the pit, snoring loudly.

The earth trembled as they snored.

The three of them are the kings of this valley. When the three brothers join forces, they are invincible, so the guard is low.

However, the arrival of the Ice Wizard still attracted their attention.

The eldest of the earthquake dragons in the center opened its dim yellow eyes and woke up its two brothers who were still sleeping.

The three-headed earthquake dragon stood up. The earthquake dragon had no dragon wings and looked like an earth dragon beast from the mortal world.

However, as the yellowish-brown sand gathered around, it rode the sandstorm and soared into the sky with terrifying force.

The Ice Wizard took a deep breath, and three greatswords of ice shot out from his hands, heading towards the three-headed earthquake dragon.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The three-headed earthquake dragon roared, and a circle of yellow light emanated from it, shattering the ice!

boom!

One of the earthquake dragons descended from the sky, like an asteroid hitting the Earth.

A terrifying weight, coupled with the immense power of a dragon.

The earth trembled, and visible shockwaves swept outwards.

The Ice Wizard's protective field flickered, and his icy wings flapped behind him, transforming into a blue light as he flew towards the location of the trap.

the other side.

I felt the tremors getting stronger and stronger.

Mary the Witch and the Holy Infant are ready.

The Ice Wizard shouted, "Activate the magic circle and prepare for battle!"

boom!

The next moment, the three-headed earthquake dragon charged in, riding on a cloud of yellow sand.

If it were hit, the force field of a fifth-ring wizard would probably shatter instantly.

"Phoenix! Go!"

The Holy Infant quickly retreated, deciding to let Phoenix handle the rest of the battle; he, a mere fourth-ring cultivator, would not participate.

As a level 5 sub-dragon, the Earthquake Dragon's strength should not be underestimated.

Their mountain-like forms, requiring no magic, possessed devastating power with every move. Most importantly, they had three heads!

Therefore, the Ice Wizard never intended to kill all three of them in the first place. Instead, he wanted to trap or drive them away as much as possible, obtain the treasures inside the ruins, and then leave.

After the three inseparable earthquake dragons entered the magic array's range, beams of earthy-yellow light shot into the sky.

The earth began to collapse, forming a huge sinkhole, from which a tremendous suction force emanated.

The three-headed earthquake dragon, which was flying in mid-air, crashed directly into the sinkhole, causing the earth to tremble and smoke to billow everywhere!

"Quickly, seize this opportunity and attack!"

"That's what Mary the Witch said."

The giant alchemical eagle above her head spat out countless white wind swords, which struck the back of one of the earthquake dragons, causing its scales to crack and it to howl in pain.

The Ice Wizard's robes billowed, snowflakes fell from the sky, the earth froze, and the power of extreme cold swept through, trapping the three-headed earthquake dragon within, rendering it unable to move for a time!

Sharp, fiery blades shot out from Phoenix's body!

boom!

After a premeditated and fairly well-coordinated barrage of attacks.

The three-headed earthquake dragon's tough defenses were instantly breached.

On the wound, frost and fire intertwined, a double whammy of ice and fire, causing immense pain!

The three brothers were no pushovers; they roared to the sky, spewing out earth-yellow dragon breath.

In an instant, chaos ensued.

In the chaos, the Holy Infant, who was paddling along, flicked his finger, and three inconspicuous streams of light entered the wounds on the three brothers. He muttered to himself, "I'll make a mark first, and then come back to take you all after I advance in rank."

After doing all this, he quickly left the battlefield.

I don't know how much time will pass.

Rumble!

It was accompanied by a deafening explosion.

The underground prison formation was completely torn apart by the three brothers' struggle.

But at this moment, the three brothers were already seriously injured and bleeding profusely. After breaking through the magic array, they did not continue to attack. They stared at the group of people with resentful eyes and quickly left.

Clearly, the three brothers have remembered this grudge and may seek revenge in the future.

"Should we pursue them? The carcasses of the wyverns are quite valuable," Mary the Witch asked.

The Ice Wizard said, "Forget it. A cornered beast will fight to the death, which is the most dangerous thing. We should hurry up and find the treasure, and then leave. I have a feeling that the three-headed earthquake dragon will come back. If they find their own kind, we will have no chance of winning."

The Ice Wizard flew forward.

After the great battle ended, the Holy Infant appeared out of nowhere and quickly followed.

Mary the Witch stretched out her hand, blocking the infant Jesus's path, and asked coldly, "Why did you run away? Why didn't you fight?"

The Holy Infant laughed, "My strength is all in the fire elemental spirit. If I went up there, I would only be a hindrance, so I found a safe place to hide for a while. My pet also contributed a lot in this battle. How can you say I didn't fight? That's slander!"

After saying that, the Holy Infant ignored her and hurried after the Ice Wizard.

Mary the Witch stared at the infant Jesus's retreating figure and the fire elemental spirit on his shoulder, her face grim.

Not long after.

The three arrived at a dilapidated wizard tower.

Around the wizard's tower, there were still magic circles absorbing elemental power and slowly operating, but they were quite broken.

"It is indeed a very complicated magic circle. No wonder the witch Mary took so long to prepare," the Holy Infant muttered to himself.

At this moment, the witch Mary took out the items she had prepared beforehand to break the formation, and one by one, the formation flags flew into it.

She muttered to herself, sweat dripping down her forehead.

Immediately afterwards, the broken magic array finally failed and stopped functioning.

After confirming that there were no other traps, the three approached the area around the wizard's tower.

There is a small medicinal herb garden here, but it has been neglected for thousands of years. The herbs are scattered here and there, and most of them are wild grasses and shrubs.

The three of them were afraid that others would steal other treasures, so they kept an eye on each other.

Seeing this, the Ice Wizard said, "Let's see what we have first, and then distribute it later, shall we?"

"agree."

Inside the dilapidated ancient tower, all was quiet.

There was nothing of value inside until they reached the top floor, where they found a white skeleton in a dried-up bath.

The skeleton had dragon horns growing from its bones, wings on its back, and a pair of huge dragon claws, which looked similar to the claws of the earthquake dragon outside.

"This is the Blood Mystic, who died alone in his own bathroom," the Ice Wizard suddenly remarked.

On the claws of the Blood Mystic, there are many storage rings.

The Ice Wizard removed the rings, emptied out all the contents, and had the Holy Infant and Mary examine them.

On the ground were piles of boulders, various bottles and jars, but the contents of these were all dried out, along with a large number of books and spell models...

After searching for a while, the Ice Wizard's face lit up with joy as he picked up three stone tablets.

"The Earth Core Shattering Crystal Method, the Mountain Moving and Spirit Condensation Method, the Dragon Soul Secret Manual... I glanced at them briefly. Apart from the Dragon Soul Secret Manual, the first two are the Shattering Crystal Method and the Spirit Condensation Method that we need. You two should make two copies here. It's best if the three of us know about these precious secret methods. If they are leaked, it will definitely bring us trouble. Therefore, according to our original agreement, the three of us must sign a confidentiality agreement, and this matter will never be revealed! As for the Dragon Soul Secret Manual, it is a method that the Blood Secret Master himself attempted to use to condense his primordial soul through unorthodox means. If you two want it, you can make copies of it as well."

The Ice Wizard was sincere, and all of this had been agreed upon from the beginning. The Holy Infant and Mary were naturally no problem.

The three of them each made a copy of these three most valuable books of knowledge.

Then, the Ice Wizard clenched his fist, and a burst of icy energy shot out, crushing the stone slab right in front of the two of them.

In addition, there is some knowledge, mainly from the Life School and the Earth School.

After discussing it, the three of them made a complete copy of this knowledge.

As for the remaining resources, including the herbs from outside, according to the original agreement, the Holy Infant received one-quarter, while the Ice Wizard and Mary Witch shared the other three-quarters.

"Everyone, it was a very pleasant collaboration. I look forward to working with you again when we return to the Wizarding World!"

The Ice Wizard looked very pleased, clearly having gained a great deal. After speaking, he quickly left the place, not lingering for even a moment longer.

"Ms. Mary, until we meet again!"

The Holy Infant smiled slightly, then disappeared into the mist and quickly left.

If the three brothers, the Earthquake Dragon, were to launch a surprise attack, he alone wouldn't be able to handle them.

Mary the Witch's eyes flickered as she chased after the direction in which the Holy Infant had disappeared.

With her fifth-ring cultivation level, chasing a fourth-ring cultivator would be a piece of cake.

Before long, she caught up with the Holy Infant, who was picking herbs in the valley, completely unaware that death was imminent.

Sensing someone's presence, the Holy Infant looked up, her expression puzzled: "Madam, is there anything else?"

"Hand over the Fire Elemental Spirit and its control method, become my wizard servant, and I can take you safely away from the Dark Tower... Otherwise, this valley in this otherworldly land will be your grave!" said the witch Mary, with the giant alchemical eagle circling above her head, staring intently at the Holy Infant.

The Holy Infant's expression changed, and he then said with a wry smile, "Madam, how about I agree to the deal we just made? I'll take the rare item, and you take the fire elemental?"

Upon hearing this, Phoenix felt a chill run down his spine: "I may not be human, but you really are a dog!"

Mary sneered, "Want to trade now? Too late. I only agreed to trade with you because of the Ice Wizard, and you're being shameless. A mere fourth-ring cultivator, relying on your level five fire elemental power, think you can be my equal? ​​Who gave you the courage?"

Without a word, the giant alchemical eagle in the sky swooped down, its terrifying wind blades sweeping towards Li Wei.

This is a level 5 alchemical creature, Mary Witch's greatest asset besides her magic circle.

"Madam, I don't want a fight to the death," the Holy Infant threatened.

Mary the Witch scoffed, "I think the fish will die, but the net may not break."

"Phoenix, go! Let's fight her!" The Holy Infant patted Phoenix on the shoulder, and Phoenix reluctantly soared into the sky to fight the Alchemist Eagle.

A giant steel bird and a giant fire bird collided in the sky, their power astonishing!

"act recklessly!"

Mary the Witch, surrounded by a force field and with her innate spells ready, thought the Holy Infant was about to fight her to the death. But instead, she saw the Holy Infant, trailing a long trail of flame, disappear in a flash…

"You're kidding me!"

She was filled with murderous intent and quickly gave chase!

"Don't push me!" the Holy Infant threatened, watching the approaching Mary Sorceress.

"Just a threat from the weak!" Mary the Witch waved her hand, and a swarm of level-three alchemical ravens shot out.

"Capture him alive!" she commanded.

Flames enveloped the Holy Infant, burning and destroying the alchemical ravens one by one.

"You've got some skill, but that's enough for now!"

With a wave of her hand, Mary the Witch summoned several more level-four alchemical creatures that flew out and surrounded the Holy Infant.

Upon seeing this, the Holy Infant abruptly stopped moving.

"Why aren't you running anymore?" Mary the Witch said teasingly.

The Holy Infant smiled, revealing its big white teeth, like a mischievous child who had succeeded in its evil scheme.

Beams of light from the magic array rose from the sky, enveloping Mary the Witch.

"This is... the Demon Cage Array! You just left to set up the array? You're actually an array wizard, you've been hiding it well! But I'm curious, how did you know I would harm you?"

Mary the Witch wasn't too panicked. She was also a magic circle wizard, and a fifth-ring one at that. Although the magic circle in front of her was different from the usual demon cage array, it wasn't difficult to break through.

The Holy Infant did not answer her. With a wave of his hand, hundreds of animal hides fell into the Demon Prison Formation. On each hide was drawn a blazing fire dragon!

Although she didn't know what kind of method this was, a strong sense of crisis made Mary's witch field flash wildly, and all the alchemical creatures were released to protect their master!

"burst!"

"The Holy Infant said coldly."

The next moment, hundreds of three-ring fire dragons exploded within the confined space of the Demon Prison Array!

Countless fire dragons roared, and the flames in the sky merged and converged into a giant fire dragon that reached the heavens and the earth!

At the same time, the Orb of Secret Fire appeared in the hands of the Holy Infant Wizard!

Five Rings Spell: Gathering Yang Transformation!

A gigantic sun squeezed in and merged with the giant fire dragon!

In that instant, nearly 350 calories of energy were released, enough to make even a seasoned fifth-ring wizard retreat!

In the horrific explosion, Mary the Witch left only a scream before her life quickly vanished.

The Holy Infant murmured to itself, "To be honest, without my true self's sense of danger, I wouldn't have known you were trying to harm me... I just have a psychological aversion to exploring ruins and secret realms, a paranoia about being persecuted by my teammates, and I felt unsafe without my true self here, so I made up an excuse to set up a magic array. I didn't expect it to actually come in handy. Sigh, where is the trust between people? Can't we be like those Ice Wizards, exploring secret realms peacefully and cooperating for mutual benefit... Why does it have to be all fighting and killing? It's so pointless!"

At the center of the explosion, the Holy Infant found an extraordinary-looking storage ring. The ring exuded the aura of time and was inscribed with the words "Le Maire." Apart from that, everything else had been purified by the flames.

"This talisman is really useful, but it consumes a lot of black beasts. It seems I need to hunt more black beasts in the ancient tower to bring back."

When the Holy Infant arrived at Phoenix's battlefield, the alchemical giant eagle, fighting alone, was no match for Phoenix. Furthermore, with its controller already dead, it remained motionless in place.

"Great, I got a level 5 alchemical creature for free."

With a cheerful smile, the Holy Infant put away the Alchemist Eagle and then led Phoenix away from the valley.

"The crystallization of my true form has already begun and cannot be stopped. I'll deal with this newly acquired treasure after I advance in rank. At that time, I'll subdue the three Earthquake Dragon brothers; that will be the most important gain..."

……

The battle between the Holy Infant and Mary the Witch did not cause the slightest ripple in the outside world.

Neither of them are celebrities, the fight wasn't entertaining, and it didn't generate any buzz.

In recent years, top wizarding geniuses have been advancing to the fifth ring one after another, vying for supremacy in Io!

This brought the atmosphere of the dark tower to a climax!

Just a few days ago, Sky Dragon Witch led Stormwind City's elite troops and the Nine Cities Alliance's forces, led by Flame Dragon Slayer, clashed at a crossroads. The Nine Cities Alliance was defeated and retreated with their troops!

Sky Dragon Witch rose to fame in one battle, emerging from nowhere!

He possesses the cultivation level of a fifth-rank cultivator, unfathomable magical abilities, dual cultivation of the body, pure dragon bloodline, and a sub-dragon mount!

His Ancient Tower Ranking jumped to the top of the overall rankings at rocket speed, just like the Flame Dragon Slayer, sandwiched among a group of veteran Fifth Rings, and even surpassing some senior Fifth Rings!

For a time, Sky Dragon Witch Theros was the most popular!

Hurricane Sky Island has certainly captured everyone's attention!

Today, the entire continent of Io has become a stage for geniuses, who fight against heaven and earth with high morale and passion!

Only a small number of powerful alien races, such as the Amethyst Clan, the Dragonborn, and the Ancient Tomb Clan, can rival these wizarding geniuses.

Especially the Amethyst Clan, with their pair of purple iron fists, they dominate Aion, and no one but a wizarding genius dares to challenge them!

The dragons are far inferior, especially since the infamous three-headed dragon's suspected death, its presence has been declining.

Outside the dark ancient tower.

While watching the battle on the higher levels, the Evil Dragon Venerable occasionally glanced at the fourth and fifth floors.

"Why has that child remained silent for so long? Did he die young? Alas, the path of the strong is destined to be fraught with thorns..."
