Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 326 Level 5 Knight, Blood Origin True Armor, Golden Dragon! (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions)

Golden Serpent Palace.

Li Wei introspected on himself.

The limbs, bones, internal organs, and viscera were all filled with the golden blood energy of scalding gold snakes.

Both the quality and quantity have improved significantly!

He clenched his fists, and golden light emanated from his body.

With each breath, he could feel the Golden Serpent Palace undulating.

It's as if this shrine has a life of its own.

"Yes, the Divine Palace is an integral part of me, just like the Wizard's Tower. As a place for knights to train, the Divine Palace protects the bloodline seed internally and the knight's physical body externally!"

Li Wei summoned Lei Peng and the other two brothers together.

"All four of you, attack me together! Don't hold back! You can't hurt me!" he said confidently.

Lei Peng and his three brothers exchanged glances.

She spread her purple wings, blotting out the sky and the sun; lightning snakes leaped, and thunderbolts fell!

The three brothers then attacked with the breath of a dragon!

Four attacks, each comparable to those of an ordinary fifth-ring wizard, all landed outside the Golden Serpent Palace!

Rumble!

On the surface of the shrine, purple and yellow light burst forth, and shockwaves swept across!

The shrine trembled incessantly, cracks spreading everywhere!

Li Wei sat upright on the throne, his hands at his sides, looking confident and composed.

The golden serpent form coiled around his body, serving as a second layer of protection after the divine palace!

The golden scales on his body were his last line of defense.

Apart from that, Li Wei did not use any other protective force fields or bloodline dharma forms.

"Come on, let me see where the limit of my defense is when I rely solely on the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique!" he muttered to himself.

The shrine held firm for several breaths before it suddenly cracked open.

Countless golden points of light dissipated.

Keep in mind that Li Wei was facing attacks from four level-five beings simultaneously!

Even the force field of a senior wizard from the fifth ring would probably not last a single breath before it exploded!

And this is merely the outermost layer of defense for the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique!

He looked up to the sky and roared, then descended from the heavens.

At the same time, a massive amount of golden snake power surged out from within his body.

The Golden Serpent Palace has reappeared!

However, this time, the divine palace did not appear above Li Wei's head... but above the heads of the three brothers!

A dazzling golden light descended, suppressing everything in its path and blinding the three brothers!

Rumble.

The Golden Serpent Palace descended, knocking the three brothers down from the sky and sending them crashing to the ground.

Li Wei's veins bulged, and a tremendous force erupted from the divine palace, suppressing the three-headed dragon!

"Resist with all your might!" he said.

Upon hearing this, the three brothers' bodies trembled, and the earthquake shockwave gathered before erupting!

boom!

An invisible ripple spread outwards, unstoppable!

The shrine could not withstand the pressure and burst open with a deafening roar.

"It's alright. It's more than enough to suppress ordinary fifth-ring wizards. Even senior fifth-ring wizards will be affected."

Li Wei looked at the golden snake power within his body; only about half of it remained.

"So much has been used up in such a short time. The externalization of the Divine Palace, used in combat, can only be used as a trump card, not as a regular means. It's estimated that only a sixth-level knight can truly use it in prolonged actual combat... However, the biggest change after the Blood Source Fifth Transformation wasn't the externalization of the Divine Palace, but this!"

Thinking of this, Li Wei couldn't help but smile smugly. He said, "The real show is just beginning. You four, don't blink! I'll show you what true masculine romance really is!"

The power of the golden serpent was unleashed without reservation. Golden blood energy continuously emerged, burned, and rose from Li Wei's body, seemingly real yet illusory, like a dream or smoke.

A surge of power enveloped Li Wei, compressing and condensing.

The Dharma Image [Golden Snake Dance] also coiled around Li Wei's body, spinning at high speed, and finally enveloped Li Wei, transforming into a three-meter-tall golden giant egg.

Glug, glug!

Heartbeat!

Hissing sounds emanated from inside the giant golden egg.

Suddenly, the giant egg exploded!

Accompanied by a burst of dazzling, blinding golden light, countless scales and muscles formed from condensed blood energy, intertwined and linked together, weaving together a three-meter-tall... mecha, or perhaps a bio-armor?

Li Wei didn't know what to call this ability for the time being.

All he knew was that he was currently inside what he would temporarily call the "Blood Mech".

This feeling is absolutely wonderful.

At his heart, the Golden Serpent Seed roared, causing the Golden Serpent Divine Palace to tremble.

Like an engine starting up, Li Wei's wings flapped behind him, transforming into a golden streak of light, its speed comparable to that of a fifth-ring wizard!

"continue!"

Li Wei approached the leader, Ganster, protected by his golden snake armor. He clenched his right fist to gather power, and the armor did the same!

With a powerful and heavy blow, the golden fist and Ganster's giant hammer tail collided with a thunderous crash!

boom!

Earthquake Dragon and Li Wei retreated simultaneously.

Li Wei's face lit up with elation, and he laughed, "Again!"

He transformed into a golden giant and engaged in a brutal, hand-to-hand combat with the earthquake dragon.

He was repeatedly knocked away by the earthquake dragon using its weight and strength advantage, but then it would soar into the sky as if nothing had happened and fight him in mid-air!

"Ganster, show me something real! Didn't you eat? You're so weak!" Levi shouted.

Ganster was ignited with fighting spirit. It unleashed an unprecedentedly powerful breath that shot for miles as it charged toward Li Wei.

"Well done!"

He poured a massive amount of golden snake power into the golden horn on the mecha's forehead!

A brilliant golden beam of light shattered the breath and surged toward Ganster with unstoppable force.

Before striking Ganster, the golden light shifted an inch, refracting into the sea.

boom!

Golden light entered the water, piercing through the dark abyss hundreds of feet deep, tearing apart the seabed, and causing the waves to surge!

"The power of this attack is probably a bit like that of the Golden Horned Beast. Even a senior wizard of the fifth ring cannot withstand it."

Li Wei murmured.

As Li Wei's golden serpent blood energy was exhausted, the tangled scales and muscles on his body began to dissipate. The "mecha" was removed, revealing his true form.

Levi looked at Ganster, who was exhausted and collapsed on the ground with a bruised and swollen face, and laughed heartily.

He gave Ganster a healing potion and sent him back into the magic circle to heal his wounds.

He rested for a moment, then stood up.

"The divine palace is released, and blood energy is used to forge armor. This ability can be called the [Blood Source True Armor]. Its dazzling golden light destroys all laws. My Blood Source True Armor can be named the [Golden Dragon Armor]."

Returning to his secluded retreat, Li Wei was in an extremely cheerful mood.

"Advancing is so satisfying. As the leader of the Twilight Knights, my knight level is still far ahead of the competition."

Level 1, Blood Awakening Knight, Extraordinary Organs; Level 2, Blood Thirst Knight, Blood Qi Transformed into Wings;

Level 3, Blood Source First Transformation, Second Transformation, Nourishing Bloodline Divine Weapon;

Level 4, Blood Source Three Transformations, Fourth Transformation, Birth of Divine Palace and Bloodline Dharma Image;

Level 5, Blood Source Five Transformations, Divine Palace Released, Blood Qi Forged Armor!

Starting from level five, the knight's abilities can already keep up with the wizard's pace... Perhaps, the upcoming Bloodborne sixth transformation will truly correspond to the wizard's sixth ring! After that, each transformation will be a huge improvement, until Bloodborne ninth transformation, which is comparable to the archmage, the ultimate level of legendary creatures!

As for comparing oneself to legendary wizards and mythical creatures, most perfect-quality breathing techniques would likely require further evolution to achieve that.

What's certain is that for the Crimson Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique, reaching the tenth level of Mythical Realm is a piece of cake!

Of course, all of the above are just Li Wei's conjectures.

There are no ready-made guidelines or standards for the path of a knight.

Everything required Li Wei to feel his way across the river, to forge his own path, and to set the standards!

Li Wei opened the proficiency panel.

Li Wei————————

Golden Serpent Breathing Technique: 17th Rank (1/2 million), Special Effects: Metamorphosis Scales (Level 5), Dragon's Might, Golden Serpent Playing in Water. Bloodline Dharma Form: Golden Serpent Frenzy. Blood Source True Armor: Golden Radiance Dragon Armor. Exclusive Weapon: Golden Dragon Ascending to Heaven (Level 4).

……

"The proficiency requirement for advancing to the 18th tier has reached a staggering two million. My liver is about to explode again..."

With each advancement, the difficulty of gaining proficiency increases.

Previously, each advancement required increasing the proficiency requirement by 10.

This time, the amount was increased directly from 80 to 200 million.

Li Wei became increasingly convinced that the 18th-tier Blood Source Six Transformations was very likely equivalent to a Level 6 Knight, which is a Six-Ring Soul!

"Currently, I have just entered the fifth transformation, which is the [early stage of the fifth level], similar to the [common fifth ring] of a wizard. As my proficiency in the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique increases, I will enter the middle and later stages... My blood energy will also gradually increase, eventually reaching the [experienced fifth ring] and [perfect fifth ring]. Correspondingly, the durability and power of the Golden Dragon Armor will also continue to increase."

After the Bloodborne True Armor is created, in addition to a huge boost to the knight's main attribute, the other five secondary attributes will also receive a boost far exceeding that of the previous advancement.

This allowed the Cavaliers to leverage their strengths and characteristics while significantly improving their overall capabilities.

With the addition of the divine palace, which can defend, suppress, and control, the knights' methods have become more diverse.

In addition, knights also possess combat skills, bloodline avatars, and innate branding!

All things considered, in the face of a wizard, a powerful sorcerer, the knight finally managed to stand up for himself…

In the days that followed, Li Wei spent his time on Dragon Palace Island consolidating his fifth-level knight status.

Now that the Golden Serpent has reached level five, cultivation is becoming increasingly difficult, and reaching level six seems a long way off, so there's no rush for now.

He began to focus his breathing technique on the Crimson Emperor Dragon.

If the Crimson Emperor Dragon were to also advance to the fifth level of Blood Origin and wield the Blood Origin True Armor, Li Wei should be able to contend with a perfect fifth-ring warrior!

At that time, the continent of Aion was home to only the elusive Level 6 beings.

Li Wei can then do whatever he wants!

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's already the month of the North Wind.

Since Ah Long came along, one of Li Xiuwei's greatest pleasures in his spare time has been going to the botanical garden to collect "golden fertilizer".

In the incubation room.

The white tobacco plants he used in his experiments did indeed grow differently after being treated with fertilizers of varying qualities.

The one with nothing added is the slowest.

Then, gray, white, green, blue, purple, and so on.

The growth rate increased by approximately 20%, 30%, 50%, 70%, and 100%!

Therefore, Li Wei classified fertilizers into five levels, from level one to level five.

Take the iron tree as an example.

It originally took ten thousand years to flower, bear fruit, and grow into a complete form; but if level-five fertilizer is applied continuously, it only takes five thousand years now.

Although it's still a long process, it reduces the growth time by a full five thousand years. That's enough to drive the plant ripening experts in the wizarding world crazy.

If combined with the ripening methods that already exist in the Wizarding World.

Perhaps, in two or three thousand years, the iron tree will be able to bloom.

Most importantly, this is only a level 5 fertilizer.

In the future, there may be Level 6, Level 7, etc.

This means that the growth cycle of cycads can be further shortened.

And those lower-level plants and herbs, which already have short growth cycles, naturally have even shorter ones.

Li Wei also went further, catching some sea fish and extraordinary creatures from the ocean to feed "Golden Fertilizer".

Unfortunately, this fertilizer can only be used by plants.

Although these extraordinary creatures exhibited rapid growth after consuming the product, they all died without exception…

This made Li Wei temporarily stop his dangerous idea of ​​giving Lati and the others the Golden Fertilizer.

Currently, it seems that fertilizers like Jin Ke La (金坷拉) have the potential to "force growth," which may not have a significant impact on plants. However, for animals, it could cause their bodies to completely collapse.

……

The year 1207 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of Frosty Winter.

Sea of ​​Stars.

The Holy Infant sat at home refining artifacts.

The four magical artifacts that the Rust Dragon Shaman asked him to forge were the [Dragon Language Shield], the [Dragon Flame Armor], the [Golden Dragon's Protection], and the [Iron Dragon's Blessing].

These four magical artifacts are a shield, armor, bracers, and a necklace.

Above the fiery earth in front of the Holy Infant, two fully formed magical artifacts floated erratically, absorbing the fire elemental power within the earth's flames.

The design concept of the Dragon Language Shield and the Dragon Flame Armor, these two magical artifacts, is rather ordinary.

Even when the Holy Infant was finally refined, it was only of a fine quality.

Of course, this already meets the requirements of the Rust Dragon Witch.

The remaining [Golden Dragon's Protection] and [Iron Dragon's Blessing] make this wrist and necklace artifact much more complex.

The Holy Infant estimated that it would take another two years to complete the refining process.

In fact, for him, customizing witchcraft artifacts for others is also an opportunity to learn about the inheritance of witchcraft artifact knowledge for free.

Moreover, Li Wei also gained proficiency and commission.

It can be said that this is killing three birds with one stone!

Although two magical artifacts have already been completed, the Holy Infant does not intend to tell the Rust Dragon Wizard for the time being.

That would make me seem too much of a genius, not humble enough.

Therefore, he needs to delay the other party from picking up the goods for a while, and at the same time, he also needs to take two of the rewards in advance.

……

Star Market.

While managing the shop, Mia is also diligently practicing her spiritual cultivation.

She was already at the fourth level of perfection, but she hadn't prepared the potion to advance to the fifth level, so she was stuck there and couldn't make any progress.

However, she couldn't buy any advancement potions, even the third-rate ones.

Firstly, we can't afford it, and secondly, the supply is too tight.

Among the fourth-circle wizards who have managed to reach this point, many are at the peak of the fourth circle, and these people all need advancement potions.

There are only four five-ring pharmacists in the Sea of ​​Stars.

These four are all fully booked and cannot be spared.

Most fourth-circle perfect wizards do not have the financial means to hire fifth-circle wizards to concoct potions for them.

"Sigh, if only Lord Ace were a pharmacist."

Mia sighed; life was tough. She had already prepared the potion ingredients and recipe; only the refining process remained.

"What's wrong? Why are you so down?" a soft voice asked.

Mia's face lit up with joy: "Lord Ace!"

She thought for a moment, then told Lord Ace about her predicament. After she finished speaking, Mia lowered her head and waited for the Lord's reply.

The Holy Infant said calmly, "You want me to use my connections to find a fifth-ring pharmacist to concoct a breakthrough potion?"

Mia whispered, "My lord, I won't let you use your connections for nothing. I'm willing to pay the price..."

"I'm not interested in women, so offering myself is useless. What other price do you have? You can tell me. If I'm satisfied, I know a friend who is a fifth-ring pharmacist who can help you concoct it... However, you'll have to provide the prescription and all the materials. Also, the success rate of fifth-ring potions is never 100%. If it fails, don't blame me."

The Holy Infant said calmly. His friend was himself.

Upon hearing this, Mia smiled and said, "My lord, I know your personality. I'm sure you wouldn't want my body either... This is the price I'm referring to."

She opened her trembling palm, and a stone slab appeared.

"This is?"

"Take a look for yourself, sir."

After examining it, the Holy Infant calmly asked, "Are you sure you want to use this? You can use this to directly exchange for finished potions with those Fifth Ring Alchemists."

Mia joked, "After spending these past two years together, I still trust you more, Master. I'm worried that if I go to other fifth-circle wizards, I won't get the potion, and I'll be dead too, since this thing has an extraordinary origin."

The Holy Infant put the knowledge away and said, "I will keep this knowledge a secret and never divulge it. If you have any questions about cultivation in the future, you can come to Fire Dragon Island to find me, and I will help you with some guidance."

"Thank you very much, sir. Mia is extremely grateful."

Mia was thrilled and smiled sweetly. She then handed over the five-ring potion materials and formulas she had collected to the Holy Infant.

After collecting the revenue from this period, the Holy Infant returned to Fire Dragon Island.

"Sigh, as expected of Lord Ace. Not only is he a weapon maker, but he also has a good friend who is an apothecary... If he only needs a friend who is a magic array wizard, his path of cultivation will be unobstructed."

Mia felt envious, and then began to look forward to it.

Perhaps, with Lord Ace's help, she can also advance to the fifth ring within this dark ancient tower.

……

Fire Dragon Island.

The Holy Infant pondered in his heart.

"Within the ancient tower, the best-selling items on the market aren't magical artifacts, but rather potions for breaking through to the fifth ring. After all, fourth-ring wizards are the mainstream group. If I were to find the materials for fifth-ring potions myself, it would be too time-consuming. Providing a crafting service is much more convenient. However, under the guise of a Fire Dragon Wizard, it's not appropriate to display my alchemy skills. This matter needs further consideration."

Putting these thoughts aside for the moment, the Holy Infant grasped the stone tablet and examined its contents.

"The Ultimate Crystal Shattering Method, created by an anonymous author... relies on extraordinary perseverance and talent to condense 49 [Ultimate Souls] within the crystallization of spiritual power!"

Once the 49 Ultimate Souls have been condensed, they can be combined into one, forming a complete [Ultimate Elemental Soul].

Breaking crystals using this method requires no external pressure; one relies solely on oneself to shatter them. This is a superior primordial spirit, which will greatly benefit one's future advancement to the seventh, eighth, and even ninth rings!

However, 49 is not the limit of this method.

If one possesses immense perseverance, exceptional talent, and extraordinary luck, one can attempt to condense 81 [Ultimate Souls] to fuse into an [Infinite Primal Soul]. From the inside out, one can shatter the crystal and forge a Primal Soul with infinite possibilities!

The Infinite Soul makes overcoming the Three Calamities and Four Tribulations seem like child's play, though it is still useful for advancing to the Legendary level!

Anonymous Note: Whether it's internal or external force crystal sharding, there's no inherent superiority or inferiority; what matters most is what suits you best. If the opportunity arises and you possess the conditions for external force crystal sharding, don't delay. Throughout history, legendary wizards have possessed both internal and external force crystal sharding abilities. The greatest joy of cultivation lies in its infinite possibilities; all paths lead to legend.

Upon seeing this, the Holy Infant, hiding in his secluded chamber, burst into unrestrained excitement and laughed wildly.

"I never expected that Mia would possess such a method..."

After a long while, the Holy Infant calmed down and muttered to himself, "Mia has given me such a great opportunity. I can help her advance to the fifth ring within my power."

The Holy Infant did not know how Mia obtained this method of shattering internal energy crystals.

First of all, this so-called anonymous person is most likely a legendary wizard, otherwise he would not be so certain that he could help the legend. Moreover, this person is also quite familiar with other legendary wizards.

"Could it be that Mia is a descendant of a legendary wizard? That can't be right. No matter how much a legendary wizard has declined, he wouldn't have ended up like this... But you never know. A legendary wizard only has a lifespan of ten thousand years. Compared to the cruel and merciless river of time and the changes in history, that's nothing."

Putting aside these concerns, the Holy Infant began to delve into the method of shattering crystals.

The prerequisite for using the "Limited Crystal Shattering Technique" is to cultivate the "Soul Forging Technique" that comes with it.

"Forging Gods and Souls: Forging every 20 units of spiritual power into a single Ultimate Soul. In other words, it takes 980 points of spiritual power to condense the [Ultimate Soul]."

However, the spiritual power limit of an ordinary fifth-ring wizard is 1000, which theoretically means they should be able to refine 50 ultimate souls. Some wizards who consume rare items, like myself, have a limit of 1070.

Therefore, you will have at least 20 extra points of mental energy.

These superfluous spiritual energies are not superfluous, but rather symbolize the truth that can only be pursued, not touched.

As the saying goes: The Great Way is fifty, and Heaven evolves into forty-nine. To remove one of them is to create a variable.

After 49 Ultimate Souls, no matter how much spiritual power remains, there is no need to condense a 50th Ultimate Soul.

Once the 50th path is condensed, there is no turning back; one can only continue forward until the 81st path is condensed to achieve perfection and thus condense the ethereal [Infinite Primordial Soul].

However, this means that a fifth-ring wizard needs a maximum of 1620 points of mental power!

"Throughout my journey, despite consuming so many Truth Treasures, my maximum mental strength is only 1070, a full 550 points short. Making up that gap is virtually impossible!"

Truth artifacts cannot be reused and do not necessarily increase the upper limit of mental power. If they were Earth or Sky level artifacts, Li Wei would need to collect at least a hundred different kinds to replenish those 550 points.

A true artifact capable of boosting one's strength by hundreds of points at once would be at least at the level of the Bright Moon or even the Sun, something the Holy Infant wouldn't even dare to dream of.

At that moment, the Holy Infant suddenly realized the good intentions of this nameless legendary wizard.

When introducing the [Ultimate Soul], he used the phrase "great perseverance, great talent".

However, when introducing [Infinite Souls], they used the phrase "extreme perseverance, talent, and luck!"

Because obtaining infinite elemental souls is just too difficult!

Perseverance and talent alone are not enough; one must also have the luck of being a "chosen one."

The mere 1620 points of mental energy were enough to leave someone like Li Wei, who considered himself a "lucky star," utterly helpless!

Moreover, condensing a full 81 ultimate souls is extremely time-consuming. Given the lifespan of most fifth-ring wizards, they would die of old age before they could condense them.

"Once I complete the Five Rings, I'll be faced with only three paths:"

Firstly, external force shatters the crystal, which is a lower-level Yuan Soul. For most people, the sixth or seventh ring is the limit. With good luck, one can reach the eighth ring, but becoming a Grand Wizard is extremely difficult.

Secondly, the Ultimate Yuan Soul Inner Force Shattered Crystal is a superior Yuan Soul. Before the eighth ring, the difficulty of advancement is much less than that of the inferior Yuan Soul, and it is also helpful for advancing to the Great Wizard level.

Third, the shattered crystals of infinite primordial spirit internal energy... this is not being considered.

For me, the second option is more suitable. If I want to shatter my inner energy crystals, I need to start practicing the "Soul Forging and Spirit Melting Technique" now.

Without delay, the Holy Infant immediately left Fire Dragon Island and flew towards Dragon Palace Island.

……

A month later.

The year 1208 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Primordial Moon.

After a brief online roundtable meeting, Li Wei went outside the island to welcome the arrival of the Holy Infant.

The Holy Infant took out the "Ultimate Crystal Shattering Method" and left in a hurry.

Li Wei didn't trust anyone else to deliver such precious items, so the Holy Infant always handled it personally.

"We'll have to add one more subject to our spiritual practice from now on."

Li Wei began studying the "Method of Melting Gods and Casting Souls," becoming so engrossed that he forgot to eat and sleep.

After only a little research, Li Wei felt that this method was profound and complex, and not something that ordinary people could learn.

Inside the secluded meditation room, Li Wei muttered to himself as he pondered:

"Let alone 81 paths, even 49 paths would be impossible for more than 90% of fifth-ring wizards to condense. Even if we gave them this method, it would be of little use."

According to the above introduction, it takes an ordinary five-ring wizard about five hundred years to condense 49 rings.

Even geniuses need two or three hundred years to reach that level.

Five-ring wizards only have a lifespan of a thousand years, how could they possibly have that much time to condense the ultimate soul?

Top geniuses are more like it; most of them advance to the fifth ring around the age of two hundred, and they still have plenty of time to prepare.

Therefore, everyone knows that internal force is better for breaking crystals, but the most popular method in this era is still external force.

For most people in the Fifth Ring, just being able to cultivate their primordial spirit is already a stroke of good fortune, allowing them to live for two thousand years in carefree bliss.

The later stages of becoming a great wizard and a legendary wizard are destined to be achieved by only a very few. Early attainment of the Primordial Spirit realm means early enjoyment; thinking too much is useless.

Li Wei felt that since he had a proficiency panel, it wouldn't be a big problem if he was just pursuing the ultimate Yuanhun.

In the days that followed, he cultivated his spiritual practice while farming, and he lived a very comfortable life.

a few days later.

There was a commotion coming from the cave where Lyon lived.

He rushed over to check and found a white insect egg in the cave.

The insect egg had been dormant in Lyon for a short time before it formed, initially reaching the height of a two-story building.

Then, over the years, the egg grew smaller and smaller, and now it is less than a meter tall.

"This thing can actually get smaller as it grows, right? Reverse aging?" Li Wei couldn't help but complain.

Not long after.

The white eggshell began to crack.

A tiny hand, covered in powdery scales and sticky mucus, emerged from it.

Then, the entire eggshell shattered completely.

A tiny golden figure, about three feet tall with wings on its back and appearing to be around the same age as the Holy Infant, appeared.

It's not quite a person.

It has six legs, a raised scorpion tail, a round belly, and is covered with red scales.

Its face resembles a Kamen Rider mask, with a pair of large insect compound eyes.

"Master...Master, Leon is hungry," it said in a childish voice, pouting.

Li Wei took out some Nightmare Crystals and fed them to it.

"It seems he's still the same Lyon as before, just in a different form, but still under my control," he murmured to himself.

He could sense that Leon's aura had reached the level of a true Level 5 being.

"Leon, can you feel any changes in yourself?" Levi asked.

Leon said, "I don't know, I just feel hungrier. Let me think... Oh, right, Master, I can do this."

As Leon spoke, he opened his mouth and spat out black spider webs.

After the spider web appeared, it quickly grew larger, eventually covering an area of ​​about a mile in diameter.

The third brother, Drizzt, who was watching from a distance, was among them.

Drizzt was shocked and struggled to break free. Still shaken, he obediently returned to Rolling Stones to guard the gates.

"Not bad. Besides eating, you also have some talents. This web-laying technique is enough to cause a considerable amount of trouble for a fifth-ring wizard."

Li Wei patted Lyon's head, in a good mood.

Lyon probably has other abilities, but its mind seems to never mature.

So he stopped forcing Lyon to perform and just let things take their course.

Leon is Levi's most important family member, and Levi will not let it participate in dangerous battles. It only needs to stay in the rear and take care of eating the souls or soul imprints of bad guys.

After Lyon's advancement, Levi is now under increasing pressure to feed him.

After all, besides Lyon, he also needed to feed a hungry earthworm.

He returned to the nightmare world and arrived in the chaotic wilderness.

With the infant dragon by his side, he slaughtered a group of low-level nightmare creatures here, and finally returned to Dragon Palace Island with a large number of nightmare crystals.

From then on, Leon was fed with "nightmare crystals and souls," and Arlong was fed with "black beasts, the flesh and blood of enemies."

If there are some suitable, physically strong humanoid corpses, they can be used to re-refine the two corpse demons from before.

However, for Li Wei now, the corpse demon's function is similar to that of an alchemical creature, and it is not a necessity.

……

Sea of ​​Stars.

On this day, more than a dozen purple figures appeared on the edge of the area.

The leader was a tall, three-story-high, one-armed member of the Amethyst Clan!

This is Loda, a level 5 Amethyst Clan expert!

Behind him followed twelve purple figures. Among them, three figures, though slightly weaker than him, were still level five Amethyst Clan members.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect there to be such a large gathering place of wizards hidden here. Starting today, everyone will disperse around the Star Sea and hunt down any lone wizards. If there are many of them, don't fight them head-on; we'll wage guerrilla warfare against them," Loda said.

He was one of the eight level-five peak leaders of the Amethyst Holy Land. He was previously assigned by the organization to block the door on the third floor, but he was unexpectedly discovered by the Order Keepers and had his arm cut off by the level-six Wind Element Lord, which has not grown back to this day.

However, relying on his powerful physique and holy skills, he still earned the title of "One-Armed Stone Demon" among the natives of the continent of Aion.

A few days ago, while inspecting the holy land, he suddenly discovered the corpse of a member of the Amethyst Clan. Hidden inside was a map, which marked the coordinates of a wizarding community.

He followed the map and unexpectedly found traces of a group of wizards.

Another level-five expert, Fanta, sneered: "This time, we can finally have a good killing spree."

"Let's all go into ambush. Keep in touch, and if we encounter any enemies we can't defeat, call for backup immediately," Bida said.

"Bida, you think too highly of these wizards... Wizards are different from us. We are all children of the Amethyst Saint. We share common beliefs and goals and are united as one. What about them?"

Selfish and scheming, even when teaming up for adventures, they are always thinking about how to frame others and gain their own benefits.

"If they weren't capable of procreation and hadn't produced a powerhouse like Sauron, how could they possibly be a match for our Amethyst Civilization?" Fanta laughed.

Golda said, "Fanta is right. Putting everything else aside, the reason we were able to find this place is because that map of unknown origin was definitely provided to us by another wizarding organization on purpose, trying to use us to kill the wizards here."

Loda sneered, "It's probably those wizards from the Holy Fire Plateau. Whatever, let's occupy this place first, devour its ore, and when more Amethyst Clan members reach level five, that will be the time to crush Aio!"

……

Mia hummed a song, radiant with joy, eagerly awaiting her own advancement potion.

Last month, Lord Ace went out to find his apothecary friend to concoct a potion for him.

At the Fire Dragon Hut, the stock of the witchcraft shop was finally sold out, so the adults told her to temporarily close the Fire Dragon Hut.

Not long ago, the adult was appointed by the Rusty Dragon Witch, one of the four elders, as the "Black Beast Disposer," responsible for dealing with the black beasts and their corpses in the Star Sea Safe Zone.

The lord then recruited a group of fourth-circle wizards to hunt black beasts in the Sea of ​​Stars, and handed over all the black beast carcasses to the lord to be burned personally.

Mia didn't want to be idle, so she used this to earn some Taishi and resources to prepare for the Fifth Ring.

Below her was another black beast carcass that hadn't been properly cleaned before. She quickly landed and retrieved it.

The next moment, a purple light suddenly appeared on the dark lake bottom, and a purple fist the size of a sandbag came flying through the air!

The force of the punch tore through the lake's surface, sending huge waves soaring into the sky; the attack arrived in an instant!

Mia was, after all, a fourth-circle perfected wizard. Her protective field flickered, and a fire shield formed around her.

At the same time, a fiery red ring appeared on her slender hand.

"Phoenix Ring!"

The force field held for a moment, then shattered.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Mia retreated rapidly.

The phoenix ring grew larger and then quickly plunged into the lake.

"receive!"

As soon as Mia finished speaking, a figure was imprisoned within the Phoenix Ring.

The amethyst sculpture depicts a burly body, brimming with power and violent aesthetics, with ruthless and arrogant eyes!

"A peak-level fourth-tier Amethyst Clan member?"

Upon seeing this, Mia did not hesitate to use her flight magic to quickly retreat!

Buzz!

The phoenix ring trembled incessantly.

Finally, with a roar, it was shattered into countless points of light.

Mia, who had fled into the distance, breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the ring that had reappeared in her hand.

"The magical artifact the master gave me is indeed extraordinary. The Amethyst Clan is terrifying. Although I might be able to fight them if I go all out, if there are others lying in ambush, I will surely die!"

"You managed to trap me for so long? Too bad, you still can't escape death!"

The Amethyst Clan member shot forward, charging towards Mia.

Two beams of light, one red and one purple, chased each other in mid-air.

The Amethyst Clan pursued Mia while simultaneously sending messages to their teammates, attempting to surround and trap her.

Not long after.

Another purple beam shot into the sky from the distant lake.

"Hahaha, Longda, you can't even catch a fourth-circle wizard."

"Stop talking nonsense. She's at the fourth level of perfection and has a very good magical artifact. You can't do it even if you come."

Mia threw the Phoenix Ring again and flew to the other side.

This time, Longda was prepared. He threw a punch, and the purple fist wind shattered the Phoenix Ring in mid-air.

The Phoenix Ring returned to Mia without success, its runes dimmed, clearly indicating it was broken.

After all, it was only a high-quality fourth-ring magical artifact. The fact that it could withstand two full-force attacks from the Amethyst Clan was already an extraordinary performance.

Mia cursed her bad luck and was overwhelmed with despair.

She was surrounded by two members of the Amethyst Clan and had no one to help her.

She gritted her teeth and used her innate magic to attack the two Amethyst Clan members.

The domineering purple figure tore through the flames. Its body was merely charred and cracked, but it quickly returned to normal.

Mia was horrified.

These monsters are likely only annihilated by a fifth-level expert.

"I finally saw a glimmer of hope in the Fifth Ring Road, I don't want to die..."

Mia felt a bitter taste in her mouth as she watched the two purple figures approaching from both sides.

The next moment, as the longsword slashed through the void, two beams of fire crossed!

Click!

In the blink of an eye, the two purple figures were cut in two, their heads severed, their eyes filled with terror and blankness.

A red-haired witch, dressed in a fiery red robe and possessing a curvaceous figure, descended with a light laugh.

A crimson flaming longsword swirled in front of her.

Then, she stretched out her hand, and flames formed a long and powerful red dragon claw, which she held in her palm.

As she spread her dragon claws, two purple crystals floated in the void.

"Excellent materials for forging weapons. I'll ask Master Fire Dragon to forge me a suit of armor another day, hehe."

This person was none other than the Red Dragon Queen.

"Thank you so much, senior!" Mia was grateful for her narrow escape.

"You're welcome, it was nothing. Let's go together. It seems our Star Sea has been infiltrated by the Amethyst Clan."

"Okay." Mia was naturally more than happy to agree.

"Isn't Senior Blue Dragon with you?" she asked cautiously, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"No, I remember you worked under the Fire Dragon Master," the Red Dragon Queen asked.

"Yes, I didn't expect you to still remember me, senior." Thinking of this, Mia gently stroked the phoenix ring on her arm, and sadness welled up inside her.

"Is the witchcraft broken?"

"Yes, Lord Ace gave this to me, sigh."

"Master Fire Dragon is so good to you. He just gave you a top-quality fourth-ring magical artifact like that. You should seize this opportunity, sister," the Red Dragon Queen joked.

Mia blushed and said shyly, "Senior, please don't joke around. A genius like Lord Ace is beyond my qualifications to even be his maid."

The Red Dragon Queen laughed and said nothing.

It must be said that Master Fire Dragon's status and position are indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.

A fifth-circle wizard, a weapon maker, and judging from the master's energy and spirit, he shouldn't be very old.

If the master were to further master the magic array, he would be comparable to a top genius like Simon.

The two women chatted and laughed as they flew toward the market.

"You killed our men, and you just plan to leave like this?"

A roar, piercing through the clouds and splitting rocks, came from ahead.

A tall, robust member of the Amethyst Clan was like a cannonball.

The Red Dragon Witch snorted coldly: "No wonder I always felt like I was being watched; there's another one here."

"Woman, before you stands Fanta, the warrior of the Amethyst Clan!"

Fanta clenched his fists, which were filled with purple light.

"Sacred Technique: Greedy Moon!"

A crescent-shaped attack hurtled towards the Red Dragon Queen!

Knowing the power of the Amethyst Clan, the Red Dragon Queen thrust her longsword into the heavens!

The next moment, a stream of lava fell from the sky, blocking the crescent moon's arc of light!

At the same time, veins bulged on her forehead, and dragon horns resembling bull horns began to grow, along with fine, dense crimson scales.

"Although I'm still some distance from perfection, he's not at the peak of level five either, so it'll be a good opportunity to test the legendary methods of the Amethyst Clan!"

After "dragonization," the Red Dragon Queen's physical attributes are comparable to some body-refining wizards, and at the same time, her fire magic has also reached a new level.

Because her father was a powerful pure-blooded dragon, the Lava Dragon Leodes!

Third Talent: Meteor Shower!

The Red Dragon Queen clasped her hands together, and hundreds of fireballs, radiating terrifying power, hurtled towards Fanta from the sky!

"this one?"

Fanta, like a primal god, smashed away the incoming meteorites with each punch.

He laughed wildly, his body expanding continuously until he became a purple giant nearly a hundred meters tall!

"Let me show you what a truly powerful race is!"

He opened his mouth, purple energy brewed, and then suddenly poured out!

"Sacred Technique: Purple Light Wave!"

A wave of purple light swept across, and a rift several miles long appeared in the Sea of ​​Stars!

The Red Dragon Queen took a deep breath and pushed her hands forward!

Sixth Talent: Lava Mountain Triple Strike!

Three illusory images of volcanoes formed in front of him, overlapping each other.

The purple light wave collided with the volcanic phantom.

break!

break!

break!

After shattering the illusions of three volcanoes, the Red Dragon Queen's force field flickered, and the Lava Secret Sword surrounded her, barely managing to block the attack.

"It seems you are a rare and powerful figure among wizards. I, Fanta, do not kill nameless nobodies. State your name, and I will give you a quick death." Fanta was panting heavily, clearly exhausted.

"I, Alyssandra, the Red Dragon Queen, send you on your way today!"

The Red Dragon Queen gripped the Lava Secret Sword, slashing her palm, allowing the blood of the Lava Dragon to flow into it!

Eighth Talent: World-Destroying Mountains!

With a single swing of her sword, volcanoes descended from the sky, enveloping Fanta.

Twelve illusory volcanoes surrounded the area, forming a domain covering several miles in radius!

This is clearly a domain-type spell.

Rumble!

As the mountains surged in, Fanta's indestructible body creaked and cracked, its amethyst skin shattering and crumbling into molten iron.

However, he did not panic at all; instead, his face lit up with joy.

"This is the kind of battle I've been wanting!"

Ignoring his crumbling body, he relentlessly unleashed punch after punch!

Within a single breath, relying on his extraordinary physical abilities, he had already thrown nine hundred and ninety-nine punches!

Then, he delivered the final punch!

"Sacred Technique: Thousand Starfall!"

He roared, and a thousand fist shadows converged and slammed towards the world-destroying mountains!

Rumble!

A terrifying shock swept through, and Mia stood in the distance, her eyes filled with shock.

"Is this the world of the strong? Even an ordinary fifth-ring wizard wouldn't last long under such attacks. Could it be that Senior Red Dragon has already reached the peak of the fifth ring? No, it should be thanks to the top-grade magical artifact crafted by Lord Ace. Lord Ace may not be good at combat, but his crafting of magical artifacts is unparalleled!"

She had originally intended to assist Senior Red Dragon in his attack. Now she realized that she had been overthinking things, but abandoning Senior Red Dragon and running away didn't seem like a good idea either.

On the other side, the Red Dragon Queen, who had already gone all out, changed her expression.

Naroda's thousand fist shadows forcefully tore open his own domain.

She slashed with her longsword, and flames swept out!

"Humans, I am still the superior one!"

Fanta, like a martial arts fanatic, ignored her injuries and attacked recklessly.

"What are you standing there for? Run!" The Red Dragon Queen turned around, saw Mia standing there in a daze, and shouted.

If she used all her trump cards, she might be able to kill the Amethyst Clan, but it felt like a bad deal. It would be safer to let the Fifth Ring Perfection experts at her base take action.

"what?"

Mia was stunned. So even the Red Dragon Senior was no match for him?

This is a genius among dragonborn wizards.

The Amethyst Clan is terrifying. Who else can be their match?

"You can't escape!"

Fanta's fighting addiction kicked in, and all he wanted to do was fight.

"Sacred Technique: Starburst!"

His body exploded, turning into a streak of starlight, and he quickly gave chase.

He clenched his right fist and slammed it towards the Red Dragon Queen, whose expression had drastically changed!

"The Amethyst Clan are insane!"

The Queen cursed inwardly, preparing to use her trump card and risk injury to kill this monster!

"hold head high!"

A dragon's roar echoed from the high heavens.

But then a long dragon of fire descended from the sky and surrounded Fanta.

"receive!"

In the distance, amidst the fiery clouds, a young male wizard sat cross-legged.

He was fair-skinned and beardless, with flowing red hair and a long robe fluttering in the wind, his right hand clenching in the air.

The crimson dragon suddenly contracted, instantly tightening Loda's grip and freezing him in mid-air!

"Who are you? Why did you ambush me?"

Loda unleashed tremendous power, easily snapping the Crimson Dragon Ring that required the combined strength of the three brothers to break free.

He grinned maliciously, "I'll tear you to pieces, you sissy!"

Li Wei felt a chill in his heart. He had lived for two hundred years and had never been insulted like this. It was truly vicious and deserved to be killed!

Above his head, an ancient umbrella appeared faintly. He gripped the umbrella handle, and half of the magical power in his body surged into it!

The ancient umbrella began to spin, and nine crimson dragons emerged from it, emitting a deafening roar!

"Nine Dragons Calamity!"

Nine divine dragons surged forth from all directions!

Fanta remained unfazed, enveloped in purple light; the wizard's magic was nothing more than a tickle to him.

"Sacred Technique: Eclipse!"

A terrifying purple attack poured out, causing the void to tremble and the clouds to break apart!

The fiery cloud where the red-robed youth stood was shattered and turned into nothingness.

At the same time, Kowloon attacked, drowning Fanta.

The flames reached the sky and penetrated the earth.

Above, the clouds have dissipated!

Below, the lake water has evaporated!

In the flames, Fanta's body melted, and his soul was burned, causing him immense pain.

Since entering the ancient tower, he had never witnessed such terrifying sorcery.

"Aaaaaah! I can't die!"

Fanta struggled desperately, its body, already melted into wax, twisting and writhing in mid-air.

Finally, the spirit dissipated, the wax solidified, and an irregularly shaped amethyst floated within.

Fanta, a Level 5 Amethyst Clan member, is dead!

A red-robed sorcerer appeared out of thin air, holding a red umbrella, and unceremoniously picked up the amethyst.

He gazed at the Red Dragon Queen, who stood before him, sword in hand, looking somewhat dazed, and chuckled:

"I wonder if you find my Lava Secret Sword, which I forged, to be of good use?"
