Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 322 Black Beast Tide, Punching the Flying Dragon! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

The month of harvest in the year 1200 of the Holy Radiance Calendar.

The sea surrounding Ryugu Island.

The two swordsmen moved through the air like peregrine falcons, light, agile, and incredibly swift.

The swords clashed, producing a series of loud cracking sounds.

Compared to the wizards' dazzling spells, their attacks appeared simple and unadorned, merely ordinary flashes of swords and spears.

But occasionally, a sword light would fall on the sea or in the clouds.

It is enough to stir up huge waves and shatter the clouds, enough to show its terrifying power!

These two men were none other than Gerry and Livy.

Gri's Demon Cry Slash is known for its speed, swift as the wind, fast as a phantom, clean and decisive, like a ghost!

Li Wei's "Red Dragon in the Sky" is grand and sweeping, powerfully splitting Mount Hua, so magnificent that it cannot be looked at directly!

As the two clashed, an invisible shockwave swept through their path!

After fighting for an unknown amount of time, Gerry stopped, panting heavily, and said, "Master, I can't fight anymore."

Li Wei sheathed the Crimson Dragon Iron Blade and said, "Let's go back."

Since Gri reached level five, Li Wei had been sparring with him on swordsmanship from time to time.

He only uses his most basic physical abilities and swordsmanship, without using any special abilities or magical forms.

In this way, relying on his superior swordsmanship, Gri could even fight Livi to a draw.

Watching Gri's departing figure, Li Wei murmured to himself:

"Gree must have been a kendo genius during his lifetime."

Li Wei could sense Griner's boundless potential.

He focused on the sword and devoted himself to it.

Li Wei once shared some of the sword skills he had acquired with Gri.

At his most extreme, Gerry could almost learn something in a single glance.

Li Wei had to admit that, setting aside his stats, his swordsmanship talent was inferior to Gri's.

"Sigh, without a performance panel, I'm just an ordinary person with decent luck, average talent, and a bit of a fear of death... So I need to be even more cautious and steady!"

Seeing Gerry reminded Levi of Owens, whom he hadn't contacted in a long time.

He held out his palm, and a handful of gold coins gleamed, engraved with the image of the Death Dragon.

In the center of this pile of gold coins, there are also several purple coins, which are magnificent and imposing.

These purple coins were contributed by the level-five beings who were killed by Li Wei.

Li Wei flicked his finger, and a gold coin flew into the sky.

"The Unyielding Ginza Owens!"

boom!

It was accompanied by a golden explosion.

A figure suddenly appeared.

"Who am I going to fight this time? In the years you've forgotten me, I've mastered 124 new sword techniques, with thousands of variations!"

As soon as Owens appeared, he drew his silver sword, looked around, and saw no enemy in sight.

"I'm not going to hit anyone, I'm just checking if you're still alive?" Li Wei laughed.

Owens sensed Levi's presence and his expression changed.

"How did you get stronger again?"

Li Wei smiled slightly and teased, "How are you? Still a fourth-dan Gray Swordsman? Are you any good, the number one swordsman in Windmill Village?"

Upon hearing this, Owens was disheartened and sighed, "A fifth-level Gray Swordsman? That's difficult. In the history of our Windmill Village, there has never been a fifth-level expert."

"Take these gold coins and use them for cultivation. I wish you a speedy breakthrough to the fifth stage and to become the first person in the history of Windmill Village!" Li Wei said.

Owens scratched the back of his head, holding a pile of gold coins in his hands, grinning from ear to ear, and then said with a simple smile, "It's not right to accept something for nothing."

"Take it. I might need your help when you advance to the fifth rank," Li Wei said.

"Thanks, buddy. Once I reach the fifth dan, you must summon me to fight more often... Only by approaching death can one comprehend the true essence of swordsmanship!" Owens said in a profound tone, preparing to commit suicide and return.

"There's one more thing," Li Wei called out to him.

"What is it?"

"Besides you, are there any other normal natives in the Ash World? Humans or supernatural beings?" Li Wei asked.

Owens shook his head: "I don't know. I haven't left Windmill Village in a long time. The outside world is full of powerful corrupted beings. I'm afraid of dying."

Li Wei said, "After you advance to the fifth stage, if possible, go and see the outside world. I need you to help me find a descendant of a king. This king's true form should be a giant fire dragon composed entirely of ash. In our world, it is called the 'Ash Dragon,' and perhaps it has other names where you are."

Owens looked at the gold coin: "Is it similar to this?"

"Yes, but there are some differences. It shouldn't have feathers, its head is more like a traditional dragon, and its whole body is covered in scales," Li Wei said.

"Leave it to me. Once I advance to the fifth rank, I'll leave Windmill Village!" Owens said.

After catching up with Owens, Owens stabbed himself in the heart with a sword.

"Goodbye, don't forget me, my friend," Owens said, his eyes filled with expectation, before committing suicide and returning to the city.

"Don't worry, I won't forget." Li Wei waved and watched Owens leave.

He muttered to himself, "As expected, Owens can project himself from the Ashes World here."

Apart from Owens, Levi encountered no other living beings in the Ashes; they were all corrupted.

According to his speculation, the Ash World is a world that has been invaded by the Nightmare World.

The Ash Dragon was once one of the kings of the Ash World.

Logically speaking, given the nature of dragons, the Ash Dragons might have bloodlines remaining in the Ash World.

The most important elixir in his practiced Death Dragon Breathing Technique is the Phoenix Elixir, the cornerstone of Li Wei's powerful immortality. Of all things in this world, perhaps none understands the meaning of "immortality" better than the Phoenix!

The secondary secret medicine is the Ash Dragon, which is usually replaced by a fire-type dragon.

Like Hogger Knight, who practiced the Ash Breathing Technique using the Fiery Blood Frenzy Dragon that Levi left in the Old Saint Plane.

Li Wei thought that if he could find the true bloodline of the Ash Dragon, it might speed up the cultivation of the Death Dragon.

Whether or not it can be found, it's always good to give it a try. Owens is just sitting around anyway, so he might as well make use of it.

Li Wei had too many things to do and didn't have time to personally go to the Ash World to search.

After practicing swordsmanship, they returned to the island.

Inside the Eight Heavenly Dragon Prison, Lati, like a sloth, slowly cultivated by breathing in and out elemental power.

"When will it reach level five, Lati?" Li Wei asked.

Lati quickly said, "Master, it may take another sixty years."

Li Wei nodded, without urging it.

Lati has already tried her best; she's not some salty dragon.

"Overall, the growth rate of extraordinary creatures within these eight Heavenly Dragon Prisons has indeed increased."

……

The weapon-refining room.

While honing his talisman-making skills, the Holy Infant also oversaw Phoenix's work.

Phoenix's current task is to extract all the various ores that Levi has obtained since entering the Ancient Tower... This is a huge project that will require many years of continuous work, working overtime to complete.

To prevent Phoenix from taking its own life, Levi sets aside some "rest days" for it each year.

During their rest days, Phoenix can go to Thunder Hell and "date" the Thunder, and it can also borrow vacation time for future years in advance.

Of course, Li Wei wasn't asking him to work for nothing. He promised that once he became stronger, he would help Phoenix become stronger as well. If they encountered a level six fire elemental spirit in the future, he would let Phoenix devour it.

Once the refining process is complete, Li Wei will categorize and begin refining alchemical creatures and five-ringed magical artifacts.

The alchemical bio-engineering, needless to say, is for Nick Fury's project.

He crafted the five-ringed magical artifacts not primarily for his own use.

Given the extent of his abilities, most magical artifacts are of little use to him.

He created it for the Holy Infant's clone.

The Holy Infant's talisman-making skill will soon reach level four.

At that time, Li Wei will send the Holy Infant out to travel to Io, inquire about clues about the Grail of Immortality, and seek resources and opportunities.

However, the Holy Infant's methods are no match for Li Wei's.

Especially in terms of survival ability, relying solely on the protective force field and the spells inherent in the Secret Fire Sphere is far inferior to that of the original body.

Li Wei wanted to fully arm the Holy Infant before his departure.

Of course, whether it's the Holy Infant or a sorcerous artifact, Livy will use his knowledge to leave a mark for tracking.

If the Holy Infant were to encounter a powerful enemy and die, his entire set of equipment cannot be allowed to fall into the wrong hands.

When the time comes, the real person will have to step in and retrieve the equipment.

If the enemy has counter-tracking and counter-reconnaissance capabilities similar to Leon's, then Levi can only consider himself unlucky.

In short, it's better to lose the magical artifact than to lose your life.

Inside the weapon-refining room.

A large pile of books on weapon crafting was placed in front of Li Wei.

The Book of Norn, The Hammer of Augustine...

He calmed down and began to read books.

In the Book of Norn, besides the [Orb of Secret Fire], the other two magical artifacts, the [Sword of Secret Fire] and the [Armor of Secret Fire], are also standard magical artifacts.

Li Wei was not very satisfied with the power of the standard witchcraft artifacts.

The magical artifacts made from these materials are all of ordinary quality.

Since he intends to forge it himself, he must create a high-quality magical artifact. If it could be of the highest quality, that would be even better.

However, top-quality items are rare and hard to come by. They require high levels of materials, knowledge, skill level, and luck. Given his current level of just entering the fifth ring, it's unwise to have too high expectations.

He then opened "The Hammer of Augustine".

The document contains blueprints for four types of five-ringed magical artifacts.

They are [Lightning Wheel], [Thunderstorm Spear], [Thunder Annihilation Umbrella], and [Thunder Pheasant Cloak].

"Although these aren't standard magical artifacts, they're all from the Thunder faction..."

Li Wei read through all the other books on the crafting techniques.

Finally, he frowned, realizing that there were no drawings that met his expectations.

"Forget it, I'll just take the initiative and design my own original blueprints based on the existing ones. That way, I can make full use of the materials I have. I can also take this opportunity to hone my weapon-refining skills. It'll just take a little more time, but I'm only two hundred years old, no rush."

Li Wei already had a preliminary plan in mind.

He wanted to design a magical artifact for the Holy Infant that could attack, defend, control, and escape.

The Holy Infant is most skilled in the Burning faction; using other factions' magical artifacts would be significantly less effective. Therefore, all of these magical artifacts must be of the Burning faction.

Next.

Aside from the necessary breathing techniques and meditation practices, Li Wei spent the rest of his time in the weapon-refining room.

Designing a Level 5 blueprint yourself is very difficult and thankless; many Level 5 craftsmen wouldn't even attempt it.

However, these difficulties are still far less than those of studying magic arrays.

Li Wei can create top-tier magic arrays like the "Eight Heavenly Dragon Prisons." Creating blueprints for his own magical artifacts is only a matter of time.

On Dragon Palace Island, life is peaceful and serene.

On the continent of Aion, however, undercurrents were surging.

……

Kane's Empire.

Chaos City.

The imperial capital, also known as the "Supreme Divine Capital".

This is the cultural, economic, and political center of the Ior race.

As a highly centralized theocratic state.

The entire appearance of Chaos City exudes an aura of divine authority.

The nearly one hundred Chaos Churches standing in the city, as well as the numerous statues of the God of Law, are examples of this.

In the center of Chaos City stands a tall tower called the "Tower of the God of Magic".

The towering pagoda stands thousands of meters tall, reaching straight into the clouds, majestic and magnificent.

At the top of the divine tower, there is a triangular white jade carving representing mystery.

Within it, there was a majestic, sacred eye that constantly turned, scanning everything in Chaos City.

The Supreme God of Law possesses numerous world-destroying and unpredictable "divine artifacts."

The Eye of the Supreme is one of them.

Under its 24/7 surveillance, no evil can hide within Chaos City.

Those who commit evil deeds in other parts of the continent of Io will have their physical characteristics recorded by the Eye of the Supreme, and then the Church of Chaos will issue bounties and issue nationwide arrest warrants.

Unfortunately, with the arrival of that group of despicable outsiders, it was clear that the Eye of the Supreme was overwhelmed... Every few days, outsiders would be wanted, resulting in the number of wanted people exceeding that of bounty hunters. They couldn't catch them all, they simply couldn't catch them all!

In previous years, the Lei Fa Tribunal managed to arrest a number of people.

Then, Gandalf, who appeared out of nowhere, interfered, causing the criminals to escape from prison and go unpunished.

After that incident, the Supreme God of Law ordered the removal of torture-type punishments such as "Thunder Punishment," and that all evil sorcerers encountered should be killed on the spot!

Beneath the Tower of the God of Magic.

On the bounty list, the name "Gandalf the Evil Sorcerer" was prominently listed among the top twenty, alongside those powerful demons and barbarians who had long wreaked havoc in Io.

In addition, names such as "Fire Child Mage" and "Undying Dragon Demon" are also among the top names.

In the top ten, you can also see the talents of other top organizations.

For wizards, the continent of Io is a hunting ground and a resource-rich area; they don't care about the native life on it.

To the indigenous people, these outsiders were like locusts.

The highest level of the Tower of the Gods.

The Supreme Temple.

White clouds drifted by leisurely.

The twelve Dharma Kings, powerful figures, sat at the round table.

On one side wall of the temple, there are four giant dragon patterns of different shapes, coiled in the center. In the center of these dragons is a tall human figure with four eyes. Through these eyes, one can almost see the earth cracking, volcanic eruptions, storms, and seawater overflowing.

"Lord Dharma God!"

The four-eyed human carved on the wall is none other than the Supreme God of Law!

The Supreme God of Law said, "According to my calculations, in the major intersections of Io and the Four Seas, the black beasts that we previously drove away have multiplied to their peak, and a large-scale black beast tide will be coming next."

The Thunder King's expression changed, and he said, "Is the Black Beast Tide coming again?"

The Supreme God of Law said, "That's right. Next, we should abandon what we should abandon and concentrate our forces to defend the major cities. Once the Black Beast Tide has passed, most of the outsiders who have occupied the intersection will be killed or wounded without us even having to lift a finger. At that time, we can send out a large army to annihilate the remaining outsiders."

"Understood. In this way, we can reap the benefits without paying any price."

The Supreme God of Law said, "After the slaughter, bring all the evil magic knowledge of the outsiders to me. I will distribute it according to your spoils and your labor, and bestow upon you true knowledge without any side effects."

"Thank you, God of Law!"

All the Dharma Kings withdrew.

The Supreme God of Magic remained hanging on the wall, muttering to himself, "Sauron, one day, I will lead the Chaos Legion to break free from this prison of heaven and earth. Mages will replace wizards and become the true kings of spellcasters... And I will storm into the Astral Plane, devour the Lord of Chaos, and become the strongest Chaos God of Magic in this multiverse!"

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the winter month of 1200.

Also.

The Death Dragon Breathing Technique also caught up with the main group's progress some time ago, reaching the sixteenth level, the fourth stage of Blood Source Transformation.

Currently, apart from the Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique, all other breathing techniques have reached the sixteenth level. The next step is the Blood Source Fifth Transformation Realm, which is comparable to the Fifth Ring Wizard.

Inside the research room.

Li Wei continuously used his mental power to outline the three-dimensional spell nodes, conducting repeated simulation tests.

Before him were three crystal balls, each containing blueprints for three different magical artifacts.

The first one is called the [Extreme Fire Light Wheel], which is designed based on the Lightning Light Wheel. It is mainly used for flying escape and is extremely fast. Its main materials are level 5 materials Storm Sand and Molten Ore. The Molten Ore is obtained from Gabriel and is not very large, which is just right for crafting a relatively small magical artifact like the Light Wheel.

The second type is called the "Crimson Dragon Ring," which is designed with reference to the Ouroboros Ring and the Secret Fire Ring, and its purpose is control.

The last type is called the "Burning Sky Ancient Umbrella," which is designed based on the Thunder Annihilation Ancient Umbrella and is both offensive and defensive.

Extreme Fire Wheel, Crimson Dragon Ring, Ancient Umbrella of Burning Heaven.

These three magical artifacts combined offer a complete range of functions, including offense, defense, control, and escape.

If successfully refined, it will greatly enhance the strength of the Holy Infant Avatar, making it easy to deal with a senior fifth-ring wizard, and even against a fifth-ring perfect wizard, it can retreat with ease.

In this way, without provoking Level 6 beings, the Holy Infant can roam freely across the continent of Aiou without needing the main body to frequently intervene!

Of course, he is still lacking some materials to craft these magical artifacts.

Especially the Burning Sky Ancient Umbrella.

This magical artifact requires the tail feathers and bones of a level 5 fire-attribute bird, along with level 5 fire-elemental metal, to craft the umbrella ribs. It also requires the hide of a fire-attribute hybrid dragon to craft the umbrella canopy.

He doesn't have these things right now, and they can't be replaced.

However, the fifth floor is a vast and resource-rich area, so finding it is only a matter of time.

……

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

The year 1201 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of Blazing Fire.

Sacred Flame Plateau.

Skyfire Fortress.

The wizards stood in the fortress, gazing into the distance, ready for battle.

Simon hovered above the city wall, his ribbons dancing in the wind.

According to intelligence, a few days ago, some small gathering places were attacked by black beasts, and some markets for rogue wizards were wiped out.

This immediately put the Nine Cities Alliance on high alert.

The commander-in-chief, seated high above, calmly announced, "The Black Beast Tide has arrived. Everyone, prepare yourselves and protect Skyfire Fortress at all costs! If a Level 6 Black Beast Lord is discovered, the entire army must retreat and immediately report to Lord Roman. The Soul Wizard will then take action!"

The Sacred Flame Plateau is vast and boundless. The Nine Cities Alliance has only occupied a small part of it. Countless black beasts roam the wilderness.

Because black beasts are untamable, have chaotic minds, and possess a strong corrosive nature, wizards who encounter them, even if they can defeat them, will stay far away to avoid wasting their energy.

This has resulted in the number of black beasts never decreasing.

In addition, the Kane Empire concentrated and drove all the black beasts from various places to the intersection, and the black beasts continued to multiply, eventually triggering this beast tide.

Now, without any warning, these black beasts have begun to launch a frenzied attack on the headquarters of various organizations.

The sky, the earth, birds and beasts, swept in.

Among the Black Beast army, there are quite a few Level 5 beings.

"Activate the grand formation!"

"That's what the commander-in-chief said."

The next moment, flames erupted from the high walls surrounding Skyfire Fortress.

These flames formed a massive barrier, protecting the entire city within.

"Everyone, hold the fortress and attack the black beasts! Simon, if a level 5 black beast attacks the formation, you are responsible for killing it to prevent the formation from consuming too much energy," the commander-in-chief said.

Simon nodded; he was ready.

In an instant, the black beast's spell-like abilities and the wizard's spells collided on the wilderness, blooming like a dazzling fireworks display!

Some powerful black beasts even broke through the wizards' magical blockade and pounced on the great formation, charging wildly. Then they were quickly killed by the wizards' focused fire.

On the city wall, the Blood Demon Tower Master's eyes flickered as he attacked the black beast while his mind raced.

"I never expected that the opening of the ancient tower would coincide with the Black Beast Tide of the Aion Continent. It's truly a stroke of luck. Judging from the scale of this Black Beast Tide, it will probably last for a while. During this time, the city will be in chaos, and the defenses of the Dead Soul Jujube Tree will be weakened. With my strength as a fifth-ring veteran, I will seize it and leave immediately, fleeing to overseas lands to find a volcanic island for arduous cultivation."

During his time at Skyfire Fortress, the Blood Demon Tower Master discovered that the place was not as good as he had imagined.

Here, Simon was bossing him around. Simon was just a junior, and Simon didn't respect him just because he was appreciated by the Yuanhun Wizard. This made Simon very unhappy.

I am a wicked dark wizard, how could I possibly endure this injustice?

Even without taking the Dead Soul Jujube Tree, the Blood Demon Tower Master didn't want to stay here any longer.

"However, now is not the best time. I'll take action when the conflict escalates further!"

The Blood Demon Tower Master is very patient. He never makes a move unless he is absolutely certain of success!

"Gagaga!"

In the sky outside the city, a black flame bird exuding a powerful aura charged towards the great formation.

The large bird's head was bald, revealing pale bones, and its eyes radiated a terrifying ferocity.

Its shape is similar to that of a crow, but it has a long red tail feather trailing behind it, like a cloud.

What makes it most unique is that it has two pale, ghostly hands on its wings, holding something that looks like a bone staff.

A fifth-circle wizard went to stop it, but after only a few exchanges, the strange bird breathed blue flames, forcing him to retreat step by step. He tried everything he could, but he was no match for the strange bird and could only slink back to the city.

Seeing this, Simon stood up, began to spin the chess piece in his hand, and calmly said, "Let me deal with this beast."

"Lord Simon, caution is advised. The flames of this strange bird are rather bizarre; they actually somewhat counter my burning spells. I suspect it is a rare, exotic type of flame," said the fifth-ring wizard who had escaped.

Simon replied calmly, "Understood. Don't worry, I'll handle it."

He flicked his finger, and chess pieces flew out, quickly surrounding the strange bird.

The strange bird flapped its wings, flames surged forth, and it roared in.

"town!"

Simon said coldly.

The five-ring magic array began to exert its power.

At the same time, flame rays shot out from his eyes, arriving in an instant!

Two large holes were burned into the chest of the firebird.

It screeched, brandishing the two bone staffs on its claws, and muttering incantations.

At the same time, a strange, eerie blue flame appeared. Simon's prized magic circle, once engulfed by the blue flame, began to tremble and soon collapsed.

Simon's expression changed slightly.

"Interesting. Looks like I'll have to use my real skills."

He patted his chest, and a phantom image of a fire god, reaching to the heavens and the earth, appeared.

As Simon clenched his fist, the phantom of the Vulcan also clenched his fist!

"Flame Fist!"

boom!

A punch shot out from the void, a crimson fist shadow!

The strange bird used its blue ghostly flames to resist, and surprisingly managed to withstand the attack.

The Blood Demon Tower Master, and even the Commander-in-Chief, were shocked, clearly not expecting that this strange bird could contend with Simon.

"Flame Sword!"

Simon's face turned grim. The World-Destroying Flame Sword appeared in Vulcan's hand, and he slashed at the strange bird!

Rumble.

This time, the strange bird finally couldn't hold on any longer. Its blue flames were shattered, and it cried out as it retreated, only to have one of its legs severed by the sword light. Black blood dripped onto the ground, melting and creating a deep pit.

The strange bird spewed out countless corrosive gases, and Simon dared not take it head-on, so he quickly dodged.

But they discovered that the strange bird had already fled and was hiding among the army of black beasts, not daring to show itself, but only driving the other black beasts to their deaths.

This scene is playing out not only on the Sacred Flame Plateau, but also at other major intersections such as the Sea of ​​Stars and the Million Mountains.

However, the wizarding organizations had obtained some clues through their intelligence networks and thus had set up magic arrays in advance, so they could basically get through the first wave of the Hell Beast tide unscathed.

……

Ryugu Island.

Because of its distance from the confluence point, the Black Beast Tide has not yet reached this area.

Li Wei was incredibly steady here.

The past six months or so.

In his spare time, he further refined his original design blueprints for magical artifacts. Everything was ready except for the materials and the crafting process.

Li Wei's mental strength has now reached 642 points, and the Golden Snake Breathing Technique is not far from its limit.

After his seclusion ended, Li Wei observed the projection inside the ancient pagoda.

In one of the projections, he saw Ania's figure.

Judging from the scene, it seems to be above the Deep Blue Witch City.

A gigantic whale with tens of thousands of tentacles floats high in the sky, like an island in the air.

Those jellyfish-like tentacles continuously released lightning, and thousands of bolts of lightning fell, causing the magic array of the Witch City to tremble.

"Is this a level 5 peak black beast?" Li Wei's expression changed slightly.

Aside from a wizard at the peak of the fifth ring level, an ordinary fifth ring level wizard would have no chance against this black beast.

Ania only appeared briefly before disappearing. He was probably caught up in the live broadcast of the battle between the Fifth Ring Perfection Wizard and the giant whale, and was not the main character of this projection.

Seeing this, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

"According to Ms. Triss, there have been several times in history when the ancient tower opened, just in time to coincide with the Black Beast Tide that only appears once every long period of time inside the tower. On those occasions, most wizarding organizations suffered heavy casualties. It seems that... the opening time this time coincides with the Black Beast Tide again."

This is certainly bad news for most people.

Li Wei's first thought was that he now had the materials for making his divine talismans and magical artifacts!

Of course, the location where he is is unlikely to experience a large-scale black beast tide. After all, this is not a convergence zone.

However, we cannot let our guard down. On the vast ocean, there are bound to be some unknown meeting points, and at that time, there may be black beasts attacking.

With this in mind, Li Wei thoroughly inspected the Eight Heavenly Dragon Prison Formation, inside and out.

Summon all the extraordinary beings, the undead army.

"All departments, go on high alert. A powerful enemy may be attacking soon. I will be leaving temporarily. Stay home and take care of the property!"

After the briefing, everyone returned to their posts and began to stand guard.

Over the next few days, through projection, Li Wei was able to confirm that this was a massive black beast tide sweeping across Aion. It was no less impressive than the sea beast tide in the Endless Sea, with peak level five black beasts frequently appearing.

Li Wei plans to take a trip to some of the crossroads in southern Io.

He was going to scavenge for trash, since few people wanted black beast materials.

Whether it's making talismans or refining weapons, he needs high-quality black beast materials.

He arrived outside the Deep Blue Witch City, where the Hermit Runes flickered, and he observed from afar.

Ania and her teammates are inside the magic circle, casting spells to attack the black beasts outside.

"With the strength of the Deep Blue Organization, this first wave of Hell Beasts can be completely withstood. Aenea's role in the organization is that of a long-range precision strike missile, usually attacking within the large formation. As long as the Deep Blue Organization stands, he is safe and sound."

Li Wei murmured.

Over the next few days, he mingled among the battlefield, tirelessly picking up trash.

Without breaking a sweat, I collected a lot of level 4 black beast materials, and even a level 5 one.

After realizing it couldn't conquer this place, the giant whale at the peak of level five retreated back to the deep sea.

Li Wei secretly regretted it and quietly left for the next place.

……

A month later.

Li Wei wandered around, mainly scavenging for trash, occasionally killing black beasts, and accumulating a large amount of black beast materials.

"What a pity, there are no level 5 fire-type birds, nor the dragon skin I need."

a few days later.

Before his eyes appeared a vast ocean.

To be precise, it is a "Great Lake".

The lake is dotted with islands.

From afar, Li Wei saw a black, two-legged dragon spewing flames, hovering above the lake. Wherever its fiery breath passed, everything was reduced to charcoal.

A fourth-circle wizard's force field held for only a short time before he perished on the spot.

"Blackfire Flying Dragon, a hybrid dragon, judging from its strength, it should be close to a senior fifth-ring cultivator. It's a pity it's a black beast... This thing can't be tamed by conventional methods. It's not worth wasting a Crimson Contract slot. Let's not dwell on it, just kill it and skin it. It'll be perfect for refining the Heaven-Burning Ancient Umbrella."

Li Wei looked regretful; he had previously tried to tame the hybrid dragon with his dragon's might, but had failed.

It's unrealistic to try to purify this giant creature with purifying agents like you would with totem worms.

If the Ancient Saint Plane becomes full of cherry tomatoes in the future, we could build a "Black Beast Purification Base" to specifically purify valuable black beasts and reform them.

With this in mind, Li Wei casually changed into the appearance of a wizard and flew in that direction.

……

Sea of ​​Stars.

The outer sea area.

Several fourth-ring rogue wizards fled in panic under the raging flames of the black fire dragon.

"Has the Ice Wizard not arrived yet?"

"No, he was stopped by another level-five black beast. The one who came to his aid was a newly promoted fifth-ring wizard, Biggs, who is said to be Lord Silverbeard's apprentice."

"That's good. As the disciple of a fifth-ring perfected expert, he should be able to contend with this black beast."

The black fire dragon charged wildly, as if entering an empty field. A small team of wizards hidden on the island was discovered. The six rogue wizards, like startled birds, fled in terror. They watched as the terrifying dragon's breath coalesced again, the intense heat scorching the heavens and earth.

"It's over."

These people were in a state of despair.

A giant hammer formed from flames slammed in and blasted the black fire dragon away!

The next moment, a short but burly male wizard arrived and said calmly, "I'll deal with this big guy. You can attack from a distance."

The rogue wizards were overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew, great! Lord Biggs has arrived. We're saved."

"We'll take charge of controlling things and creating the conditions for Lord Biggs."

Instead of running away, everyone fought alongside Biggs.

The black fire dragon over there shook its head, disoriented by the spell, but it was otherwise unharmed, only partially burned.

It is a fire-type dragon and has high fire resistance.

"Flaming Hammer!"

Biggs still relied on his most powerful fourth-ring talent. He had only been a fifth-ring member for a few years and hadn't even mastered a protective force field, let alone a fifth-ring talent.

However, he believed that even if he couldn't defeat the black beast, he could hold it back until the Ice Wizard arrived.

Seeing this, the black fire dragon flapped its wings, unleashing a storm of black flames that engulfed the giant fire bull.

The giant bull vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea, but the black flame storm continued its relentless advance, hurtling towards him.

"Damn it, how can this black beast be so powerful?"

He was overconfident when he first entered the Fifth Ring Road, but when it came to actually fighting, he found that he wasn't as strong as he thought...

boom!

His fourth-ring protective force field was shattered, and then his fourth-ring defensive talent lit up, barely managing to block the attack.

"Everyone, retreat first. I'll cover you. This black beast is quite strong. I'm new to the Fifth Ring, and I might not be a match for it."

It was embarrassing for someone of his fifth-ring strength and status to say such a thing, but he had no choice but to do so for the safety of these rogue cultivators.

The other independent cultivators' expressions changed. They had thought that this fifth-ring wizard could withstand the black beast. But they hadn't expected that he would be forced to retreat after only one exchange.

"roar!"

Seeing that the newcomer was of average strength, the Blackfire Flying Dragon opened its mouth wide, unleashing a deluge of flames.

Biggs cast spells to defend himself while covering the retreat of these rogue wizards.

The black fire dragon pursued relentlessly, its wings bursting into flames, and its speed increased exponentially!

"Run!"

"Oh no, I guess I'll have to stay here in the ancient tower."

"Hang in there a little longer, the Ice Wizard will be here soon!"

Anyone who fell behind was instantly devoured by the black fire dragon as it shattered the force field.

Finally, the black fire dragon drew ever closer, and its terrifying dragon breath was brewing once more!

The wizards present were filled with despair.

Suddenly, the lake surface exploded with a roar, and a water dragon roared, spiraling upwards and binding and entangling the black fire dragon.

The Blackfire Wyvern's dragon breath was interrupted, and it immediately went silent.

Flames engulfed its body, causing the water dragon to crack.

High in the sky, a gray-robed wizard gazed at it with indifferent eyes.

The Blackfire Dragon roared, its wings wreathed in flames, and swept away!

"Overestimating yourself!"

Li Wei sneered.

With every gesture he made, another water dragon flew out and entangled the black fire dragon.

After repeated teasing, the Blackfire Dragon was successfully angered.

It had been at level five for a long time and was a black beast, so its strength was comparable to that of a sub-dragon like Ganster.

The flying dragon spewed black flames, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, and headed towards Li Wei.

Behind Li Wei, a pitch-black bronze statue appeared, and the Rock Giant emerged, breaking through the terrifying black flames and pouncing on the flying dragon, smashing its fists into it with brutal force!

"Sir, I'm here to help you!"

Biggs saw the Blackfire Dragon being stopped by the Grey-Robed Wizard and wanted to help.

"No need. I'll handle this beast. You may leave."

Li Wei said calmly.

"Alright... I won't bother you any longer. Please be careful, sir. This black beast is no ordinary creature."

Biggs was turned away, but he wasn't angry. The other party's strength gave him the right to be arrogant.

He and the other independent cultivators had no choice but to retreat.

Li Wei continuously controlled the flying dragon with the Water Dragon's Roar, while the Rock Demon tightly clamped the flying dragon's head with its legs, displaying a fierce fighting spirit reminiscent of Wu Song fighting the tiger!

In the distance, Biggs and a group of rogue wizards watched all of this with utter shock.

"A wizard's body, punching a flying dragon, is he even human?" a rogue cultivator thought to himself.

"Yes, that's too violent! That's a real man! He has the style of an ancient body-refining wizard!"

Even Biggs fell silent. The opponent's mental strength was higher than his own, but not by an exaggerated margin. However, the combat power the opponent displayed was far stronger than his own.

As the dragon's wailing gradually subsided, its head was soon smashed flat.

Livy dismembered it and collected the useful materials into his ring.

He ignored the lone cultivators watching from afar and left directly.

"Please wait a moment, sir."

Biggs' voice came through.

Li Wei turned around, frowning, and asked, "What is it?"

"You must be a rogue wizard."

"So what if it is?"

"I am Biggs of the White Robe Wizarding Order. I would like to take the liberty of inviting you to join us in dealing with the current Black Beast tide and fighting against those top wizarding organizations that oppress us."

"Not interested."

Li Wei turned and left.

"Sir, this is an introduction to our organization and my contact information. You can take a look, and if you are interested, please feel free to contact me."

A stone slab flew over and hovered in mid-air. Li Wei thought for a moment, then told the Rock Demon to put it away and left.
