Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 362 The Commander Returns to His Post at Dusk, His Sword Destroys the Black Dragon, Displaying Divine Power! (Long Chapter, Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

Ancient Sage Plane.

Imperial Palace.

Livy, holding his scepter, ascended to the highest heavens.

With a wave of his scepter, a crimson dragon shot out and exploded in the distance.

Flames filled the sky, shockwaves rippled outwards, and turbulent air currents briefly shattered the wind-damaged layer.

The Eye of Castro, used to measure the power of spells, doesn't display numbers, but rather:

【? ? ? 】

Upon witnessing this scene.

Li Wei put the glasses away.

"This thing won't be of much use anymore..."

The current version of the Eye of Castro can measure energy fluctuations up to 500 calories; anything beyond that is questionable.

The value is 500 calories.

The inventor set it based on the highest value of the spell attack power data of many fifth-circle wizards after investigating and collecting a lot of data.

In theory, 99% of fifth-circle wizards in the wizarding world will not have a spell attack power exceeding this value.

Of course, there will inevitably be some oddities that can exceed the limits, but the sample size is too small, and the creator himself has not encountered them, so they are not included in the statistics.

With Li Wei's current level of perfect five-ring cultivation, the Fire Dragon Calamity, a third-ring talent spell, is almost equivalent to his normal attack.

This means that, with the scepter's blessing, his normal attacks surpass the maximum attacks of other fifth-circle wizards.

Of course, this is inseparable from fire-type artifacts and the amplification from [Ether Dominator].

"There's nothing that a single Fire Dragon Strike can't take away... If there is, then just unleash another one."

Of course, the power of this attack was still insufficient for the Yuanhun Wizard.

Li Wei put away the scepter and casually placed it on the mountaintop.

He opened a spatial rift.

Mana stepped out from the tower, her long, beautiful legs swaying, standing tall in the void, opening her arms to embrace the world outside the ancient tower.

A green whip appeared in her hand, lashing upwards into the sky. The windstorm layer cracked open, revealing the crystal wall behind it. Outside, a multiverse of light shone like countless stars.

Mana's eyes welled up with tears, and she said with deep emotion:

"Multiverses, endless wonders... I've finally left the ancient tower, hahaha!"

For Li Wei, who had been living outside the ancient tower for many years, it was naturally difficult to understand the feelings of Mana, a level six native.

Mana rushed over, gave Li Wei a polite, light hug, and quickly left, her face beaming with joy.

"I'm sorry, I've been looking forward to this day for so long, I'm so excited."

Li Weidao:

"You're welcome. I was just fulfilling my promise. It would be a waste of your talent to be trapped in the ancient tower forever... But if you're going to be outside in the future, you'd better change your appearance. Otherwise, many of the things we did inside the ancient tower will be known to those outside."

Mana smiled gently:

"Don't worry, I'm just coming out for some fresh air occasionally, it won't cause you any trouble... Besides, I can't leave my main body in the Immortal Realm for long."

Mana patted Levi on the shoulder, turned around before stepping into the wonderland, and said:

"By the way, I plan to merge with the Ice Sea Plane in a while, then I won't be able to take action anymore, and neither will Martha... So for your safety, we plan to wait until the Heavenly Crystal Dragon Ant awakens before we begin."

Li Weidao:

"Okay, best of luck to you, senior."

Back to the Imperial Palace.

Li Wei placed all the extraordinary creatures he had collected during his trip to the ancient tower into Alice's Ring, which he had already repaired into a five-ringed artifact.

Most of these extraordinary creatures are of low rank and do not need to occupy such a fine cultivation ground as the Fairy Realm.

However, these biological resources are relatively hard to find in the wizarding world, and they also have corresponding cultivation value.

He didn't have the energy to manage so many extraordinary creatures, so he left it to the professionals at the Giant Beast Park.

As for the sub-dragon species and hybrid dragons he needed for his own cultivation, they remained in the Ancient Banyan Wonderland.

As for his subordinate organizations, he has no plans to move them into the Ancient Banyan Wonderland for the time being.

The growth of power requires the tempering of blood and fire, not being confined in a cage and relying on one's own protection.

a few days later.

Li Wei took stock of all his spoils from the Dark Tower and smiled with satisfaction.

Regarding the rare treasures, including the Holy Grail and the Scepter, a total of six items were obtained.

There are a total of fifteen Truth Wonders, including three Morning Stars, five Sky-level Wonders, and seven Earth-level Wonders.

Of course, those incomplete and wondrous items transformed from gold leaves and those from the Roman ring are not included.

As for the magical artifacts, materials, and rare plants and animals, there's no need to elaborate.

"In sixty-six years, a poor boy in the wizarding world has become a hidden tycoon. There are probably not many Yuanhun wizards who are richer than me."

Li Wei's figure flickered as he headed towards the Twilight Temple.

He wanted to make an incognito visit to see how everyone had been behaving lately.

Temple Training Grounds.

Many first-level knights were sparring in combat. Occasionally, the light of their talent marks would flash, serving as a supplement to their combat skills.

"Indeed, looking around, there are already several hundred first-class knights, and the entire knight order now has three thousand members."

These three thousand were carefully selected, with a preference for quality over quantity.

Thanks to the inherent advantages of the Knight path and the resources of the Temple, the success rate of Twilight Temple Knights advancing one level is significantly higher than that of Wizard Apprentices breaking through to become full Wizards.

Li Wei sighed:

"An organization like this is enough to crush most mid-level organizations in the wizarding world."

Inside the temple.

Three beams of light shot out, representing the Blood Knight, the Divine Light Knight, and the Golden Lion Knight who were stationed at the temple.

They were in a hurry, as if something unexpected had happened.

Li Wei's expression shifted, and he silently followed, inwardly thinking:

"Speaking of which, the ancient tower has been closed for several days now. Haven't these guys noticed that I, as the leader, haven't returned? It seems this family can function perfectly well without me."

Li Wei wasn't angry; on the contrary, he felt somewhat relieved.

This shows that everyone is busy, doing their job and not slacking off. As a boss, I like this kind of employee.

Generally speaking, when something happens in the Ancient Saint Plane, it's definitely near the entrance.

Li Wei arrived here before the Blood Knights and the others.

His sense of danger offered no warning, clearly indicating the enemy wasn't strong. Given the power of the Ancient Saint Plane, they should be able to handle it.

The "Four Directions Flame Realm" magic array left behind is still operating inside the plane entrance.

To Li Wei now, this magic circle seemed incredibly weak.

"Next, we'll refine two more sets of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Prison Formation, one set on the outside and one set on the inside, to give the enemy a double surprise."

With the harvest from the ancient pagoda, plus forty million taels of silver.

For a long time to come, Li Wei will not have to worry about the materials for the magic array, which is incredibly generous.

The situation on Earth has become increasingly tense recently, with cave wizards everywhere, which has led to a significant increase in the frequency of invasions into the Ancient Holy Plane compared to before.

Li Wei concealed himself and quietly passed through the magic circle to the outside.

In the Seven Kings Hell.

The sound of magic booming could be heard.

The gatekeepers, including Coral, Blood Demon, and Red Eye, are joining forces to attack a level 5 dungeon wizard.

Coral was still at the peak of the fourth ring, while Blood Demon and Red Eye were all senior fourth ring cultivators.

Although their cultivation level was low, they suppressed the enemy by relying on the magic array and their numerical advantage... If Li Wei was the ceiling of the wizards' combat power at the same level, then the cave wizards were the sewers.

The difference between the fourth and fifth rings isn't as precipitous as the difference between the fifth ring and the Yuanhun realm. Relatively speaking, fighting beyond one's level is quite common. Some top geniuses can achieve this through various means.

the other side.

The two level-five powerhouses, Feather King and Wing King, who were born in the ancient saint plane, along with the ancient saints who formed the battle formation, are dealing with three level-five cave wizards.

They were under considerable pressure because one of these three cave wizards was at the fifth level of perfection.

The combat strength of the cave wizards can be automatically considered to be slightly lower than that of a minor realm, but having one at the fifth level of perfection is enough to cause them a lot of trouble. This is a gap that even magic arrays cannot bridge.

Previously, it was because of a five-ring perfected individual that the Council of Elders suffered a significant loss.

Li Wei did not rush to make a move. He circled the island but did not find any other enemies.

"Looks like these are just a few small fry. Without the elemental spirit wizard, I have nothing to fear... Speaking of this cave elemental spirit wizard, I wonder how strong he is?"

Inside the fiery hell.

The Wing King held a long spear, while the Feather King held a greatsword.

Both of them are highly skilled in combat, and it is clear that they are dedicated to rigorous training.

Li Wei murmured:

"Compared to him, Cang Wang is far too lazy. Give him an ultimatum: if he can't advance to level five within ten years, chop him up and feed him to the fish! All he does all day is breed!"

This fifth-ring perfected being was named Hilde. He was thin and pale. He smiled sinisterly, and streams of water flowed towards the Feather King and the Wing King.

The two level-five ancient saints erupted with blood energy, which swirled around their bodies and manifested as [Blood Energy Armor]. The energy burst forth, scattering the water flow.

The Wing King's armor was black, extremely ferocious, and covered with spikes.

The Feather King's armor was gold, incredibly magnificent, and covered in iron feathers.

The Blood Armor is essentially the Blood Source True Armor.

However, the Ancient Saint Technique and the Knight Breathing Technique are not exactly the same, so the Bloodborne True Armor that was created is also a relatively low-end version.

Li Wei had previously tried to have the lizardmen practice knightly arts based on the differences in their bloodlines, but the results were not as good as the ancient holy arts.

So he later instructed the lizardmen to focus solely on the path of the ancient saints.

This method of Sauron research, as it stands, is indeed the optimal solution for the lizardmen.

After unleashing their Blood Qi Armor, the attack and defense capabilities of the two ancient saints increased significantly.

They completely ignored the attack spells of the two ordinary cave wizards, using their armor to withstand the attacks and prioritizing killing the two weakest ones before joining forces to deal with Yuanman.

Hilde sneered upon seeing this:

"This is the first time I've seen such a method. I'll take you all away and study you thoroughly. You'd better not make any pointless struggles; soon, the Black Dragon Empire's legions will raze this place to the ground!"

King Yu sneered:

"You've really gotten yourselves into big trouble. The Emperor is about to return. You dare to trespass on the King's territory? You're practically courting death."

Through the Knights, the Feather King and his companions learned that the Emperor was about to return in triumph from beyond the heavens.

Thinking of this, they were not afraid at all. Even if the sky were to fall, the Emperor could still hold it up!

Hilde frowned and said:

"Still talking tough even when death is imminent... The ruler of the Black Dragon Empire is an eighth-circle wizard. You lowly creatures with your limited perspectives can never imagine how powerful he is. Even if your master were to return, he would have no choice but to tuck his tail between his legs!"

He unleashed a spell with perfect five-ring completion, causing the magic array to tremble repeatedly.

The Feather King and the Wing King were also forced back, their blood armor shattered, revealing their battered bodies.

Just now.

With a clear, melodious phoenix cry, an elegant and magnificent five-colored peacock soared into the sky. Five-colored divine light shone down, and the injuries of the Feather King and Wing King visibly healed.

At the same time, a handsome and majestic phantom of a giant eagle soared through the sky, fearlessly charging towards the cave wizard.

Immediately afterwards, a golden lion phantom, caught off guard, joined forces with the Feather King to devour an ordinary cave wizard.

The Feather King transformed into golden light, and countless golden feathers formed an incomparable golden giant sword, slaying him.

A fifth-ringed crypt wizard died on the spot!

King Yu laughed:

"Thank you all for saving the day."

Blood Knight said:

"We're all from brother organizations, no need to be so polite. We're weaker and can't fight head-on, so we'll have to rely on you two to help us out. We'll provide assistance."

The Wing King laughed:

"Five-colored divine light is enough, hahaha!"

He had already experienced the five-colored divine light of the Divine Light Knight. After being illuminated by the divine light, he could quickly recover from injuries. Combined with the already powerful physical qualities of a level five Ancient Saint, he had directly exhausted and killed that level five perfected cave wizard last time.

at the same time.

More and more ancient saints rushed to the battlefield. After so many years of development, the number of ancient saints in the Council of Elders is now vastly different from what it used to be.

In an instant, the radiance of the Dharma image, the innate imprint, the combat skills, and the divine weapon shone brightly.

On the Coral Witch's side, another cave wizard also perished on the spot, killed by a magic circle.

In the end, only Hilde remained, her expression drastically changed.

He brought three fifth-ring wizards with him, but unexpectedly, they couldn't even break through the enemy's gate. They were even wiped out by two lizardmen and a group of fourth-level combatants...

He had a question in his mind:

"What kind of organization is this? Fine, I'll retreat first and wait for the Black Dragon Legion to raze this place to the ground. It's all because of this damned magic array; if it weren't for it, how could they have stopped me?"

In fact, Hilde felt that she still had a chance to win if she used some of her trump cards and paid some price, but that wasn't worth it.

He waved his hand.

Water jets shot out, flying in all directions and clearing away everything.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly rushed out of the magic circle.

Everyone scattered, except for the Feather King and Wing King, who used their combat skills to tear apart the water tornado and gave chase.

"We can't let him get away!"

"Kill them!"

Some manipulated the magic array to surround Hilde, others were responsible for control, and the Ancient Saints were in charge of bombarding her relentlessly. That's how the last person at the fifth ring perfection was taken down.

However, Hilde's strength is clearly superior to her opponent's.

With a wave of his hand, a wall of water appeared, temporarily blocking the Feather King and the Wing King.

He sneered:

"You're just relying on your numbers and the magic array. Do you really think you can defeat me? I want to leave, and you can't stop me! The Black Dragon Legion is about to arrive; you're all doomed!"

The voice just fell.

With a bang.

Hilde felt like she had bumped into an invisible wall, her head buzzing.

He turned his head away.

In the void where there had been no one just moments before, a figure quietly emerged from the ripples.

He was a burly man, dressed in knight's armor and a blood-red cloak, with a calm face and cold eyes.

"And who are you?"

Hilde looked flustered; even with his perfected fifth-ring perception, he hadn't sensed the other's presence at all. What terrifying strength was this?

Could he be a level six expert?

He was the emperor that the two lizards spoke of.

Sensing something was wrong, Hilde's body exploded, turning into thousands of water droplets that scattered in all directions.

The black-armored swordsman suddenly threw a punch.

Boom, boom, boom!

The countless fist shadows shattered all the water droplets.

The water droplets coalesced, and Hilder's figure materialized, his eyes filled with terror. He had just attempted to use elemental transformation, but had failed…

The opponent suppressed me without even using any magic; this is simply unbelievable! This person is definitely a level six expert!

Li Wei's figure flickered and disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, his large hand was already gripping Hilde's neck.

He knocked him unconscious with a light punch, set up a magical barrier to seal his cultivation, and then tossed him aside.

He said calmly:

"Lock him up; I'm going to interrogate him now."

Upon witnessing this scene.

The knights, the ancient saints, and the gatekeepers all beamed with joy.

The Golden Lion Knight laughed heartily, rushed over, and hugged Li Wei.

"Commander, you're finally back!"

Danes the Light Knight stood there, stunned, her beautiful eyes wide with shock and her mouth slightly agape, clearly still reeling from the simple yet powerful punch she had just witnessed.

"Commander..."

This is the very image of the leader that the members of the Knights have been longing for day and night.

Although they can meet via video projection, it's still different from meeting in person.

This is the same principle as Li Wei returning home for the Spring Festival in his previous life.

Even the usually composed Blood Knight was somewhat excited.

"Sixty-six years... a lifetime for an ordinary person... Commander, you've finally returned."

Li Wei laughed heartily:

"It has indeed been a long time. I am relieved to see that everyone is doing well."

Then, Li Wei added:

"We should be giving everyone a break now and having a proper celebration... but some uninvited guests are about to arrive. We'll have a feast and a good chat after we've dealt with the enemy."

Upon hearing this...

The Feather King said with a solemn expression:

"Your Majesty, I will go and summon all the ancient saints."

Previous invasions were mostly small-scale skirmishes by rogue cave wizards; today looks set to be a bloody battle.

Li Weidao:

"Can."

He woke Hilde, and when Hilde saw Levi, her heart skipped a beat.

"Who are you? I am the captain of the 17th Legion of the Black Dragon Empire! Release me at once!"

Li Wei sighed.

"It seems you cave wizards, having lived underground for so long, still haven't grasped the current situation..."

He seized Hilde's head, and the power of the Crimson Dragon surged into it.

After a while.

Hilde has already been bound by the Crimson Pact. Levi currently has two contract slots remaining, which are excellent for interrogating enemies.

Hilde told Levi everything he knew about the Black Dragon Empire.

After asking the question, Li Wei gently twisted Hilde's head off, sending her to her death.

Everyone else watched Li Wei nervously. Seeing that Li Wei wasn't flustered, they felt a little more at ease.

At the same time, I'm curious about what level of strength the current leader has reached.

Li Wei pondered.

Judging from the current situation, the entire Black Dragon Empire is a large military empire, similar to the Amethyst Civilization.

The empire has established twenty-four legions, and the commander of each legion is a sixth-circle wizard.

In addition, there are four generals, each with a seventh-level cultivation level, who each command six legions.

At the very top is the ruler of the Black Dragon Empire, the Black Dragon Wizard Nidel.

Although this person is a cave wizard, his strength is considerable, after all, he is a descendant of dragons and cultivates both body and magic.

In summary, judging solely from the number of elemental souls, the Black Dragon Empire's strength is enough to rival the overt combat power of a top-tier wizarding organization.

It should be noted that, on the surface, the Witch's House only has thirteen Soul Witches.

Hilde was a battalion commander in the Seventeenth Army.

After discovering this place, he sent a message to the other captains of the legion, and the legion has dispatched three battalion commanders to help him take control of this place that is suspected to be the entrance to the secret realm.

As for the legion commanders, they have not yet personally engaged in battle. This is likely due to their concerns about the Wizarding Council.

Once players at level six and above begin to participate in large numbers, then all factions will be serious, and it will likely become a fight to the death with no room for reconciliation.

Therefore, whether it is the war between black and white wizards, or the war between the Black Dragon Empire and the Church in the human world, it is mainly a struggle between their respective cannon fodder.

In fact, the fierce war between the black and white wizards lasted for a century, and the total number of level six or above powerhouses who fell on both sides was only a dozen or so.

Li Wei said:

"Next, the enemy will send a sizable army of wizards. Go and bring your combat members who are at least level three from your respective factions, and prepare to fight them."

Li Wei intended to use this war to test the military strength of the Ancient Saint Plane.

Blood Knight and Feather King nodded in agreement, and the order was quickly issued.

The Ancient Dragon Empire and the Twilight Temple, the two organizations responsible for combat, both mobilized.

The Giant Beast Park is mainly responsible for logistics. Apart from a few powerful psychic wizards who participate in the battle, everyone else stays at the park.

Everyone was thrilled to learn that their commander had returned.

They have honed their skills in the ancient planes for a long time, but their sharp blades have never been tested.

Now is also a great opportunity to showcase one's abilities and make a name for oneself in front of the commander.

During peacetime, the various organizations in the Ancient Saint Plane formulated a complete set of practical wartime reward policies.

Whether it's a team kill or an individual kill, merits can be distributed reasonably based on battle footage.

To this end, the Ancient Saint Plane also specially purchased a batch of war recording magical artifacts and merit calculation magical artifacts from the Wizarding World.

In civilization wars or organizational trials, this method is mainly used to determine battle results.

Not long after.

The two battle groups then boarded special airships and arrived at the plane entrance in a grand procession to receive Li Wei's inspection.

Li Wei looked at the soldiers disembarking from the airship with a stern expression.

On the Knights' side, those above level three were few and far between, mainly consisting of the Twilight Eighteen Knights who remained at headquarters, as well as some Mink Tribe members.

The leader of the Mink Tribe was none other than Argenta. After many years, she had reached level four, but she was not included in the Twilight Temple; instead, she was in a separate organization.

Argenta looked somewhat nervous when she saw Levi, as if she were feeling a mix of trepidation and longing for home, her fluffy tail drooping.

"Indeed, Argenta, you are nearing the limit of the Primal Ancestor..."

Argenta's bloodline originates from the Silver Frostwolf.

Judging from the rudimentary quality of the Frost Wolf Breathing Technique, this creature is essentially just a level 5, or at most level 6, extraordinary being... except that it may have some special characteristics.

Argenta's breathing technique progressed extremely quickly, leading Li Wei to speculate that she was likely a direct descendant of the Frostwolf Clan. He wasn't particularly surprised that she was now at level four.

Li Wei suddenly wondered if a breathing technique, if practiced to its fullest extent, would directly revert to its ancestral form without evolving.

With his breathing technique, the end is still a long way off.

In the future, Argenta could be used as an object of observation.

Taiga of the Tiger Clan and Simba of the Lion Clan are now both Level 3 Knights. As for the Black Panther, it didn't break through and died of old age, and was properly buried by its companions.

Apart from these three, the other Mink Knights are still a long way from reaching level three.

Compared to knights, the Ancient Dragon Empire, which has been developing for a long time, has many more level three powerhouses.

A 300-strong lizardman warband was fully prepared for battle.

Li Wei looked around and saw faces, some familiar and some unfamiliar. He drew the Sword of Oath and declared loudly:

"Today, our homeland will face the most brutal battle in its history. I will not ask you to be prepared to die... I only hope that everyone, for our organization and for yourselves, will fight bravely and survive in this cruel world!"

After the passionate words were spoken, a ferocious phantom of a blazing sea dragon roared to the sky.

Everyone gazed at the longsword from which the oath had been sworn, their hearts surging with emotion.

I don't know how much time has passed.

As the sun sets in the west, its rays bleed like blood.

On the distant sea.

A band of cave wizards, all clad in black robes and with deformed faces, roared in, riding a cloud-shaped magical artifact.

The leader was a captain with the strength of a fifth-ring master.

In addition, there are a total of six level-five captains.

There are as many as two hundred other third- and fourth-ring wizards.

This army, with its sights set on the endless sea, is capable of sweeping across the outer seas.

Captain Muriqui looked ahead and signaled the army to stop.

"According to Hilde's intelligence, there is a trap array at the entrance to the secret realm. The array wizard should break the array first, and then we can charge in... Hilde fell here, so we cannot be careless. If we can take this secret realm and present it to the legion commander, it will be another great achievement."

Judging from the defensive measures at the entrance to this secret realm, the resources inside should not be too bad, otherwise there would be no need for such elaborate protection.

The two five-ring magic array wizards quickly took their tools and went to study how to break the array.

However, before they could break the formation, it dissipated on its own, revealing the scene inside.

A black-armored knight sat high in the sky, a bronze greatsword hanging at his waist, with squads of lizardmen and armored knights in high spirits behind him.

Li Wei immediately removed the magic array.

The Seven Kings Hell is a trap-type protective formation, not a protective shield. Given that the enemy was already prepared, it was only a matter of time before this four-ring formation was broken.

With his current strength, he can wipe out the enemy single-handedly, so the absence of a magic array is irrelevant.

The reason for such a grand display is to hone the battle groups of the Ancient Saint Plane.

Muriqui looked at the team, which was mainly composed of lizardmen, with a hint of surprise.

"Alien races, wizards... what kind of ragtag army is this?"

He said coldly:

"If you surrender now, you can avoid meaningless deaths; otherwise, this place will... be a river of blood."

Li Wei ignored the enemy.

He stood up, raised the sword of victory high, and the invisible domain of victory shone upon every warrior.

"kill!"

At a command.

One after another, figures soared through the air, the lizardmen's surging blood energy converging under the influence of the battle formation, charging towards the enemy.

The knights also displayed their unique abilities, their divine forms and weapons gleaming brightly.

The Feather King and the Wing King transformed into streaks of light and went to intercept the Five Rings Wizard.

Muriqui sneered:

"Like an ant trying to shake a tree, utterly overestimating its own strength!"

With seven level-five experts on our side, how can the other side possibly win?

next moment.

Li Wei set off.

He gripped a brass greatsword, transformed into a streak of light, and arrived in an instant.

As for his Dharma form, Dharma body, and spells, he didn't use them at all. If he did, he could quickly wipe out the enemy; what would be the point of his subordinates fighting then?

Li Wei's attack was swift and decisive, his imposing aura causing the entire sea to tremble!

The ancient pagoda has been honed for 66 years, all for this moment, to reveal its brilliance!

Sensing Li Wei's invincible aura, Muriqui's expression finally changed drastically.

With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a burst of fireball, sending a wave of heat through the air!

Li Wei, like a roc spreading its wings, swept past the fireball, took a step forward, causing the void to tremble, and the aura of stars fell with the sword light.

Star-Treading Slash Without a Trace!

The dazzling blade light, as brilliant as stars, ravaged and shattered Muriqui's fifth-ring talent spell!

Between breaths.

Li Wei had already come close, how could he, as a magic wizard, not be terrified?

His protective field flickered, and the five-ringed magical artifacts frantically issued warnings, surrounding him and providing layer upon layer of protection.

Other fifth-ring wizards also came to lend their support.

But then the black-armored swordsman raised his sword and thrust it upwards, unleashing a moonlit aura that descended upon the mortal realm. The moonlight generated thunder, and the void exploded!

The swordsman gripped his sword with one hand and switched to a horizontal slash!

A crescent-shaped sword aura, crackling with lightning, swept through the two fifth-ring wizards in two with unparalleled force, and then shattered Murich's protective force field and protective magical artifact!

Blood splattered all around, and Muric's body, now split in two, fell from the sky.

With a simple and unadorned sword move, he killed three fifth-ring wizards, one of whom was even at the peak of the fifth ring.

Even though he was a cave sorcerer, such power was astonishing.

The knights and lizardmen on the battlefield, seeing Li Wei's bravery, were all pumped up with adrenaline.

"Is this... also the power of combat techniques?"

"It's hard to imagine that such a level of skill could be achieved through combat techniques alone."

Everyone was deeply moved and filled with confidence in the future of their chosen path!

Magic is indeed powerful, but there is much more to be gained in the art of combat!

For knights who cultivate through physical training, combat skills are fundamental, and even with a talent mark, they cannot replace their importance.

After the Blood Knight slew the enemy before him with the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sword, he looked at the captain, who was like a god of war.

"Just how much hardship did the commander endure in the ancient tower to acquire such superb skills...?"

His memory vaguely returned to more than two hundred years ago, to the somewhat naive Lord of Flower City.

Who could have imagined that this young man would achieve such success two hundred years later?

The Blood Knight didn't believe in gods or destiny, but at this moment, he was even more convinced:

The leader is the guide for this group of old-timers in the new world. Under his leadership, the code of chivalry will surely shine brightly, allowing them to contend with the powerful civilizations of multiple dimensions!

Of the seven fifth-ring wizards, only four remained in an instant.

The Black Dragon Legion wizards realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Everyone, form battle formation and surround this swordsman!"

But would Li Wei give them the chance to form battle formations?

Compared to the enemies he faced inside the ancient tower, these wizards were utterly insignificant in terms of combat experience or strength.

Relying on the "Azure Eagle Divine Codex," he moved with lightning speed, his blade flashing and blood splattering on the spot. Before long, all the five-ring wizards had perished.

The knights were stunned. The fight hadn't even started yet, and it was already almost over?

The leaderless Black Dragon Legion was in complete panic.

"This person is definitely a hidden level six expert; we can't fight him head-on. Let's retreat!"

"Run!"

The Black Dragon Legion scattered like birds and beasts.

"Kill them all!"

Li Wei gave the order.

The lizardmen and knights charged into the demoralized enemy ranks, slaughtering them indiscriminately. Most of the crypt wizards quickly perished. Those who managed to escape the encirclement were easily killed by Li Wei.

Night falls.

The Black Dragon Legion was completely wiped out.

Li Weidao:

"Count the number of dead and wounded, and clean up the battlefield."

The battle was a great victory, though some casualties were inevitable.

Li Wei needed a cold-blooded fighting force that could charge into battle, not a bunch of good-for-nothings under his protection.

So far, everyone's performance has been commendable, and Li Wei is very satisfied.

He didn't use any sorcery in this battle; he wanted to plant a seed in the hearts of these people. One day in the future, that seed will grow into a towering tree.

……

night.

The square of the Ancient Dragon Empire was packed with people.

Knights, lizardmen, minks, wizards... they all gathered together.

Everyone drank, danced, and chatted to welcome Li Wei back and celebrate his victory in the war.

"The captain's swordsmanship is so cool! When will we be able to reach that level?"

"If you diligently cultivate yourself, there is hope."

"Starting tomorrow, train like there's no tomorrow, as long as you don't die!"

After the banquet, the Ancient Saint Plane became busy again.

a few days later.

Imperial Palace.

Wearing a tight-fitting witch's outfit, the alluring and beautiful succubus Miraa walked in with cat-like steps.

"Master, this is the list of spoils from this battle."

After taking the spoils, Li Wei examined them and found nothing that caught his eye. He then made arrangements for the various organizations to distribute the spoils according to their contributions.

Li Wei asked:

"Miraia, are you almost level five?"

Miraa said:

"Yes."

Li Wei took out several demon crystal cores.

"Take these and refine them to advance to level five as soon as possible."

Miraa smiled alluringly, her expression revealing gratitude:

"Thank you so much, Master. Your kindness is beyond measure. I have no way to repay you except..."

Li Wei waved his hand and said:

"Get out of here and stop talking nonsense."

Miraa chuckled and swayed away.

Li Wei sat cross-legged.

He was thinking about how to use the resources he had acquired to fully arm the Ancient Saint Plane.

"The most urgent task is to advance to level six, and then cultivate more level five combatants..."

There are quite a few level-five creatures in the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, such as the Black Lotus Beast, but it is too well-known and easily associated with the Dragon Evil Vest.

Before Li Wei possesses absolute power, this identity cannot be exposed in the wizarding world.

Otherwise, the people chasing him would have to circle the Endless Sea.

"First, place the Eight Heavenly Dragon Prisons and Nick God from the Immortal Realm at the entrance to the Ancient Saint Plane to guard them."

The magic circle and the god Nick were, from beginning to end, Li Wei's secret trump cards, and were never projected.

In the days that followed, Li Wei began to get busy in the Ancient Saint Plane.

A month later.

The Eight Heavenly Dragon Prisons were set up, with the companion spirit Nick driving the Nick God to guard the entrance.

In this way, unless a Level 6 being descends, the Ancient Saint Plane will be safe and secure.

Two months later.

The earth-level water-type artifact obtained from the Blood Banquet Dharma King was also refined, increasing the upper limit of mental power by 10 points.

Li Wei's mental strength limit has reached 1300, just 320 away from perfection.

However, Li Wei, preoccupied with his affairs, completely forgot his promise to Mia. After waiting two months without success, Mia, filled with anxiety, took the initiative to contact the Holy Infant. The Holy Infant immediately arranged a meeting place with Mia in the mortal realm.

This day.

Uninhabited island.

The Holy Infant closed his eyes in deep thought.

A streak of light fell upon the island, revealing a delighted figure within.

Mia blushed and whispered:

"Lord Ace, I...I've arrived."

The Christ Child seemed slightly apologetic:

"I'm sorry, I went into seclusion for a while after I came back."

Mia felt a warmth in her heart and said:

"It's alright, cultivation is the priority, there's no need to rush."

Holy Infant Path:

"I'm going to take you to meet a friend of mine. I work for him."

Mia nodded slightly, unable to hide her excitement, but also a little nervous, worried that she might not pass the interview.

Seeing this, the Holy Infant patted Mia on the shoulder.

"take it easy."

Mia paused for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.

Soon.

Mia followed the Holy Infant into the heavily guarded Eight Heavenly Dragon Prison, where she was awestruck to see Queen Nick, who sat in the center like a deity.

What a terrifying alchemical creature! She felt that she might not even be a match for this behemoth…

"Lord Ace, can you also do alchemy?"

Holy Infant Path:

"I know a little bit about it. These were mainly made by my friend... I only did a little bit of work."

On the throne, a towering figure gazed at Mia, and Li Wei solemnly said:

"I've heard about you from Ace. If you want to join us, you need to swear an oath that you can't break, and the price will be your life... Think it over carefully."

Mia nodded and said:

"I agree."

This is the case with most top wizarding organizations, and Mia is used to it.

With Mia joining the team, there is another level-five powerhouse in the Ancient Saint Plane.

The Holy Infant took Mia away, explained the precautions to her, and then assigned her some tasks.

In the future, Mia will be responsible for the procurement work from the Ancient Saint Plane to the Wizarding World, the sales of artifacts made by the Holy Infant, and the disposal of useless spoils of war.

After arranging everything for the organization, Li Wei immediately went into seclusion to refine the two Morning Star-level rare artifacts.

He wasn't too worried about the Black Dragon Empire.

Unless a seventh-ring wizard intervenes, given Martha and Mana's strength, even if the legion commander himself came, they would have to stay.

Moreover, the Black Dragon Empire is busy fighting the Church and probably can't take care of itself for the time being.

Li Wei took out a transparent container.

Inside the container was a purple, severed finger artifact that Li Wei called the "Thor's Finger".

The surface of the severed finger was sealed with magic by the Knight of Flowers; otherwise, the container would have been shattered by the lightning power emanating from the artifact.

He removed the severed finger and broke the seal. Immediately, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the secret chamber, forming a small, man-made thunder pool.

Li Wei bathed in it, his large hand gripping the strange object tightly, enduring its lightning attacks and the terrifying electric currents coursing through him. He muttered to himself:

"For other fifth-ring wizards, refining this strange object would be quite troublesome... But for me, it actually gives me a kind of addictive, tingling sensation. It seems that cultivating in the Thunder Pool can also slightly stimulate the growth of mental power. I can study it further next."

Li Wei closed his eyes and focused all his energy on refining the strange object.

"May the Lover's Rune grant me a greater increase in my maximum mental energy!"
