Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 446 A Bountiful Harvest of Morning Star Treasures! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

in fact.

Before naming himself Tianwanglong, Li Wei had considered many names.

For example, [Heavenly Emperor Dragon].

However, it feels like my current endurance breathing technique is not enough to bear the weight of the word "Emperor" and be ranked alongside "Red Emperor Dragon".

He had considered names such as "Wind and Thunder Dragon," "Heavenly Crying Dragon," and "Heavenly Thunder Dragon," but they lacked a certain imposing presence.

Ultimately, it was simply and directly named "Tianwanglong" (天王龙).

Uranus's abilities are far stronger than those of the previous Sky Dragon.

Li Wei——————

Heavenly King Dragon Breathing Technique: 19th level (1/10 million), Special effect: Heavenly King Dragon Body - Mythical level (early stage of level 7), Bloodline Dharma Image: Wind and Thunder Surge; Blood Source True Armor: Storm Dragon Armor; Exclusive weapon: Wind and Thunder Wings (level 7), Bloodline Divine Runes: 0/66.

……

[Heavenly King Dragon Body - Mythical Level]

1. You possess the extreme endurance of a Uranus dragon.

2. You possess an exceptionally high affinity for wind and thunder elements.

3. You have mastered spell abilities such as [Black Annihilation Divine Thunder], [Wind Illusion], [Silver Mountain Fall], and [Summon Maiar].

4. You have mastered the "Storm Domain" with a diameter of 12 kilometers.

5. You can take a long trip to "roam the vast universe".

5. You can transform into a Uranus...

First, before the description of the "Endurance" attribute, just like mythical breathing techniques such as the Golden Dragon, the word "Ultimate" was added, which is concise and to the point.

Then, the Wind and Thunder Elemental Affinity talent also became "Extremely Excellent".

Next comes the main event.

After this evolution, Li Wei mastered the special ability of the [Black Annihilation Dragon], [Black Annihilation Divine Lightning]. This is a different kind of lightning even more powerful than [Black Annihilation Lightning], a superior version of it. This different kind of lightning can even be enhanced on the lightning-based spells that Li Wei has mastered. In other words, Li Wei's [Thunder Dragon Technique] can be called [Black Annihilation Thunder Dragon], and [Thunder Dragon Flash] is [Black Annihilation Thunder Flash].

Black Annihilation Divine Lightning is a vicious lightning with a strong ability to adhere and corrode. It is definitely a villain's skill. When used, the black lightning surges like a demon god that destroys the world.

【Wind Illusion】is the ability of 【Wind Illusion Dragon】. When used, it creates a massive, wide-area wind barrier. This barrier can control enemies and continuously generate illusionary wind creatures to attack them.

【Silver Mountain Fall】forms a huge silver thunder mountain. It is a wide-range skill that focuses on control and has secondary attack. It can be used in conjunction with 【Wind Illusion】 to seal off the void and prevent enemies from escaping.

As Li Wei's strength increased, relying solely on methods like the "fighting beast" technique or the Frost Sword Realm to fight across realms and contain increasingly powerful enemies with diverse abilities became quite difficult. Combining these two spell-like abilities, unless there was a powerful treasure or a significant difference in realm, the enemy would have no chance of escaping Li Wei's grasp.

【Summoning Maiah】 is to gather a whirlwind and form a 【Spirit of Maiah】 that is at the same level as the Heavenly Dragon Breathing Technique to attack the enemy. At his current level, Li Wei can summon a Maiah Spirit at the early stage of level seven.

With this, plus the abilities of [Wanlongsheng], [Giant Whale King], and [Nightmare Clone], he can more happily gang up on his enemies, beating them until they question their existence.

Moreover, he can now practice the more advanced "Summoning the King of Hell" spell, but he hasn't had time to learn it yet.

Once they've completed their studies, the scene will be unimaginable.

Then there's the range of the [Storm Domain], which has been greatly increased, making it on par with Li Wei's [Elemental Magnetic Domain].

Finally, there is the important skill 【Soaring Through the Void】.

With his current Heavenly King Dragon realm, Li Wei's travel speed is 30 times that of normal flight speed.

Places that would take others thirty years to reach, Livy could do in a year.

That's the difference; time is money.

Of course, soaring through the void is also a very powerful escape skill.

Li Wei internally examined his physical body, specifically within a single cell. Beside the Temple of Power and the Temple of Control, the Temple of the Heavenly King, representing endurance, was located here.

Its surface is covered with the True Symbol of Wind and the True Symbol of Thunder, intertwined with wind and thunder, exuding extraordinary power.

"I have now mastered five true runes: fire, water, earth, wind, and thunder. I only need two more, gold and frost, to complete the set of seven elements. For my next evolution, I can consider dragons with these two elements."

As someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder, Li Wei always felt incomplete if he couldn't collect all seven elements.

Moreover, he now possesses the Frosty Snow Mountain Dragon King; it would be a waste not to utilize it.

The Giant Breathing Technique originally had a frost attribute.

However, it was killed during the fusion process with the Crimson Dragon.

In addition, Li Wei felt...

Now that he has mastered the seven elemental schools of the wizarding path.

The way of the knight should also involve mastering the corresponding seven true runes.

This might be of great help in the future fusion of wizards and knights.

Otherwise, if they are all asymmetrical, how can they be fully integrated?

Two years later.

Nora 302, the 90th year of the bloody war.

There are only 15 years left until the Dark Tower opens again.

Even the Dragon Ruins Mysterious Realm has less than 50 years left.

Li Wei stabilized his mastery of the Heavenly Dragon Breathing Technique.

In addition, he has also mastered the Thunder Beast Technique, but he is still a bit short of reaching the level of the seventh ring.

The spell "Summon the King of Hell" is similar to "Summon the Lord of Hell," but it is of a higher rank and more complex. For Li Wei, it is not difficult to practice, and he has now been imprinted with the witch mark.

The most difficult one is the "Microscopic Disintegration Technique." After so many years of practice, I've only just begun to master it. Just as Li Wei predicted, only a very small number of people can actually practice this spell.

It's perfectly reasonable that Baihua hasn't mastered it yet.

Regardless, Li Wei has been branded with four seventh-ring witch marks.

You only need to reach 9000 points of mental strength to be promoted to a senior wizard of the seventh ring.

His mental strength is now 8180 points. At his speed, he can advance in less than a hundred years.

This day.

The flowers, all dressed up beautifully, arrived at the Imperial Palace.

"Li Wei, let's hurry and exchange for the Truth Treasures, lest all the good ones be taken by others."

Li Weidao:

"OK."

The two traveled together, leaving the guardians to watch over the Ancient Dragon Continent, before heading to the Middle Lands.

……

Bloodbath at the Temple.

This was a wizarding organization specifically established during the Blood War, jointly prepared by the Blood War Command and the military.

The temple's main function is to issue various bounty missions targeting demons and to exchange loot for spoils.

The arrival of Li Wei and Bai Hua, the two seventh-ring wizards, immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone, from the staff to the sixth-circle wizards in the main hall, turned to look. After all, Li Wei and Bai Hua rarely appeared in public.

"As expected, the rumors are true. The Twilight Palace Master and the Flower Witch are together."

"Waaaah, they're such a perfect couple, I'm so envious!"

"Both of these are seventh-ring wizards, and Senior Levi is also a powerful knight. They are not ordinary people."

As the organization's leader, Li Wei was already used to such awe-inspiring looks. He approached a female staff member and politely asked:

"Hello, I'm here to collect the bounty reward. This is proof."

After the staff member finished verifying the information, they looked at Li Wei with a sense of shock. Taigu was a celebrity in their area.

He repeatedly evaded capture by the military, and even killed several Yuanhun Wizards, causing huge losses.

Having roamed unscathed for so long, he was actually killed by Li Wei, a newly promoted seventh-ring wizard. The shock of this is quite significant.

"Hello senior, this is the list of optional artifacts for killing the Primordial One, as well as a bounty of 8 million Tai Stones."

Li Wei was overjoyed.

This ancient artifact is still quite valuable. Not only does it contain the Morning Star Treasure, but it also contains 8 million Tai Stones. The fact that the official is so generous shows that this person is truly troublesome.

This brought his cash flow back to the "warning line" of 20 billion, enough for him to squander for a long time. Many high-level wizarding organizations don't even have as much cash as he does.

Soon, Baihua randomly obtained her own Morning Star-level artifact.

[Astigmatic Eyes].

This is a strange object, resembling an eyeball, blinking as it is sealed within a glass container. It emits a holy and gentle light, giving a warm feeling, and milky-white runes of truth flicker within.

Upon seeing this strange object, Li Wei immediately recalled the description of it in the "Illustrated Compendium of Strange Objects".

"It's actually a truth artifact of the Light faction. This thing is incredibly useful in fighting demons, and it's very rare. It's a pity that Baihua is the child of the water element and only cultivates the ocean faction."

Getting the right rare item randomly is really too difficult.

However, this is a good thing for Li Wei, because the rarer artifacts of the Light faction are definitely higher than those of the conventional traditional elemental factions.

Elena said:

"Li Wei, how was it? Did it work?"

Li Wei nodded.

"Very useful. I'll get you a water-based artifact; let's trade."

He opened the list of ancient artifacts for bounty and found three options: [Amber River], [Flame Medal], and [Wind Chaser].

【Amber River】is a stream of white water sealed in a small bottle. Four claws are faintly visible, and a mane encircles its neck. A misty spray dampens the bottle's walls. Its lively eyes gaze at Li Wei, somewhat resembling the dragon from Li Wei's previous life, though its head is more like a wolf's than a dragon's. On its forehead are beautiful antlers, and its scales are composed of runes of truth.

The [Flame Medal] is a seemingly ordinary medal, placed inside a box, blazing hot and distorting space. The medal's design is composed of runes of truth, depicting a majestic and powerful crimson lion.

The final [Wind Chaser] is an abstract little figure draped in a white cloak, drifting aimlessly in a container, surrounded by swirling air currents. On the cloak, runes of truth are woven into an extremely mysterious pattern.

"Great, the Amber River is an ocean-type artifact, and judging from past cases, it seems to have a high probability of giving birth to a companion spirit called the [Amber Dragon], which can be considered. The [Flame Medal] and [Wind Chaser] are also good, both excellent Morning Star-level artifacts. Damn it, why do I want them all..."

Li Wei cursed himself for being greedy.

If it weren't for Lucy's "Illustrated Compendium of Wonders," an ordinary elemental spirit wizard would most likely not recognize these three wondrous items even if they saw them. The "Illustrated Compendium of Wonders" on the market is very incomplete and abridged.

However, he didn't rush to redeem it; instead, he used up his chances to obtain random items. Finally, after a fair draw, Li Wei's result was revealed.

"Senior, this is the rare item you drew."

The female staff member carefully carried a glass container to Li Wei, her heart pounding.

You're kidding, with her fifth-ring cultivation level, she couldn't earn that much even if she worked here for a thousand years.

The senior in front of me can get two at once.

The difference between people is greater than the difference between people and ants.

Li Wei laughed:

Thank you.

He accepted the strange object.

Inside the container was a long, jet-black snake, with wisps of black water swirling around its body, exuding an eerie aura. Truth runes were carved into its scales in a grid-like pattern. For some reason, Li Wei felt that the snake's head was quite beautiful, like a female snake.

"【Black Queen Serpent】, an extremely rare and obscure marine-type artifact of truth. After refining it, it can transform the water elemental power within the body into the insidious 【Black Queen's Water】. Tsk tsk tsk, it's such a rare artifact. I wonder if my luck is good or bad..."

Li Wei said this because the Black Queen Serpent was extremely precious, no less valuable than the Amber River he had just set his sights on, and in some ways even superior. After all, it could give birth to exotic waters, making it as rare as Li Wei's Black Annihilation Divine Lightning and Dark Death Fire. However, the Black Queen Serpent had a fatal limitation: only women could refine it…

Some might say, "That's easy." But as the saying goes, "To practice this skill, one must first castrate oneself, that is, change one's sex."

In reality, even those who undergo gender reassignment surgery cannot be transformed; otherwise, with the technology of wizards, becoming a woman would be far too easy.

This is one of the few rare items with an innate gender restriction.

However, Li Wei was not discouraged. He put the items away with a smile, exchanged the Amber River for more, glanced at the Fire Emblem and Wind Chaser with reluctance, and then left with Baihua.

The female staff member stared blankly, her face full of envy.

"This is the life I've always dreamed of. Ms. Elena is so lucky."

……

Imperial Palace.

Li Wei and Baihua gazed at the three strange objects before them.

He said:

"Both the Amber River and the Black Queen Serpent are marine-type wonders, but the former is relatively easy to give birth to companion spirits, while the latter can give birth to exotic waters. Choose one."

Without hesitation, Baihua chose the container holding the "Little White Dragon" and smiled:

"This is so cute, I want it! I still don't have a companion spirit!"

Li Wei internally complained.

As expected of Baihua, when selecting rare items, the first thing they look at is their first impression.

However, it's understandable, since both of these rare items are excellent, and ultimately it all comes down to luck.

Baihua had refined many rare items before, including two Morning Star level rare items, one of which she found in the Dark Tower and the other was given to her by Lady Lucy.

Unfortunately, although these two wondrous items enhanced her water-based talents, they ultimately failed to give birth to a companion spirit, which is a regrettable situation.

Triss has a companion spirit called the Blue Knight.

Li Wei was surrounded by a bunch of companion spirits, such as A Long, A Kun, A Jin, and A Biao.

Ace has an adorable "Snow King".

Gandalf, on the other hand, is the majestic "white elephant".

Viktor also has a "Blade & Soul" girl named Livi.

Looking around, she saw nothing but flowers without any companion spirits... How could she not be envious!

Li Weidao:

"I'll trade the Black Queen Serpent with Ms. Triss; Ace desperately needs the Heart of Flame. Your Astigmatic Eyes are mine."

Baihua nodded.

"Yes, that's for the best, everyone's happy."

If other wizards acquired unsuitable artifacts and wanted to trade them, they would inevitably face intrigue and even danger. This wasn't the case with Li Wei; everyone was on his side, and transactions were internal. If others didn't want something, he would accept it.

……

The Witch's House.

Triss stared in surprise at the Black Queen Serpent in Ace's hand.

"It's such a rare item?"

Ace smiled.

"Yes, madam, I'd like to exchange it for your [Heart of the Flame King]. I wonder if that's possible?"

Triss said:

"Of course, thank you!"

The transaction was completed, and Ace left. Triss gazed at the delicate black snake in the container, growing more and more fond of it.

She murmured to herself:

"This strange object, it must have been something Levi got for Ace..."

Only someone with Li Wei's methods could obtain a Morning Star-level artifact so easily.

Without delay, Triss immediately began refining.

Six months later.

Nightmare World.

Chaotic wilderness.

Triss was unusually dressed in a black robe, made of silk, like a veil woven from the night sky, draped over her fragrant shoulders. The beautiful scenery was partially obscured, creating an exotic and alluring effect.

Compared to six months ago, her mental strength has increased significantly, thanks to the Morning Star-level artifact. It added 60 points of mental strength in one go, saving her a lot of time from arduous cultivation.

Ahead, a wandering nightmare lord who lost his territory due to the locust plague and the War of the Eight Princes is fighting against the garrison of the Black Dragon Territory. He is extremely fierce and has already sent away several groups of apostles. Judging from his aura, he is clearly at the peak of level six.

Lust, the bodyguard, was scantily clad and exuded charm. She asked with a coquettish laugh:

"Madam, shall I take action?"

Triss shook her head.

"I'll try the spell myself."

The Nightmare Lord, brimming with bloodlust, lunged fiercely at Triss, its stench filling the air.

Triss made a decision in an instant.

"Primal Spirit Witch - Medicine Maiden!"

boom!

Behind her, a black-veiled maiden, a thousand meters tall and reaching the heavens, descended with a thunderous roar, exuding a cold and aloof aura. She wore a herbal crown woven from black flowers, and a thin black silk scarf was wrapped around her two slender jade arms. She carried a medicine basket in one hand. Most shockingly, behind the maiden, coiled a phantom of a giant black serpent stretching a thousand meters, radiating a terrifying aura that was both sacred and eerie. Its scarlet forked tongue flickered, and black water swirled around its body, dripping onto the ground and eroding deep pits.

This is the [Black Queen's Water]. In addition to being water-attribute, it also has the corrosive property of adding negative energy, just like venom, similar to the [Black Annihilation Divine Lightning].

With a wave of her hand, the black snake shrank automatically and transformed into a long, scaly whip!

Snapped!

The long whip pierced the air and was suddenly lashed out. Wherever the Black Queen's water passed, everything was corroded and the void dissolved!

boom!

The Nightmare Lord, at the peak of level six, was instantly whipped away. At the end of the whip, a snake head materialized, biting his neck and rapidly coiling around it, injecting [Black Queen's Water] while simultaneously strangling him deadly!

"Elemental Soul Spell - Heavenly Water Ray!"

Triss chanted an incantation, and a blackwater ray, about a kilometer wide, suddenly appeared with a thunderous roar! Accompanied by the roar of the spell, the sky was stained with black water, creating black holes.

After a collision, the Nightmare Lord, a peak level six cultivator, was reduced to a pile of wreckage, a truly gruesome sight.

Triss couldn't help but sigh.

"The [Black Queen's Water] is incredibly powerful; it truly lives up to its reputation as a unique type of water! This [Black Queen Serpent] is absolutely perfect for me. Although it's only a Morning Star level rare item, it has significantly boosted my combat power."

The warriors stared in shock at the woman who had instantly killed the enemy, exclaiming how terrifying it was.

Even the Nightmare Lord, whose lust had one foot in the seventh level, had his mouth slightly agape and his chest trembling.

"If that lady were to lash me with her whip, I wouldn't be able to withstand it... But why would I want to be whipped by a lady? Do I have some kind of peculiar fetish? Or is it because the lady is just too alluring?"

Lust was puzzled.

Elena's figure appeared, and she smiled:

"I knew you'd be here. Looks like your strength has increased significantly... By the way, is that black snake a companion spirit?"

Triss, sensing the significant increase in spiritual energy from the hundred flowers, smiled and said:

"Your strength has improved quite a bit. This black snake isn't a companion spirit, but rather a projection of some kind of sorcerer's power, similar to Levi [Thor] or Simon [Vulcan]. It can be used in conjunction with the sorcerer's form. I call it the [Black Queen]. It can assist in combat and defense, and it can also transform into a whip as my sorcerer's weapon."

Elena said:

"I see. Now that you have the Blue Knight and the Black Queen, you must be one of the best among the senior wizards of the seventh ring."

Triss rolled her eyes and said:

"What's the use? He still can't beat your Li Wei."

Elena smiled and said:

"Just don't compare yourself to him."

Triss asked:

"Has your strange object spawned a companion spirit?"

Upon hearing this, Elena stretched out her palm, and strands of white water began to condense, transforming into a handsome creature covered in pure white scales, with a body like a snake, a head like a wolf, and antlers.

"This is amber, my companion spirit."

Elena pointed one finger to the sky, and Amber let out a roar, soaring into the heavens and hovering among the clouds, exuding a powerful aura, somewhat like a divine dragon, its clear eyes gazing upon all living beings.

Triss projected the Black Queen, and saw two long, slender objects, one black and one white, stretching for thousands of meters, soaring and swirling in the sky, stirring up the wind and clouds, forming a giant yin-yang symbol that stretched across the heavens, a truly awe-inspiring sight.

clap clap clap!

Applause erupted.

"That's really good."

Li Wei clapped his hands in admiration.

Both of these ladies' unusual items were very suitable for them.

However, his [Astigmatism Eye] is also quite good. Although it doesn't look impressive, it is extremely useful in the special context of Bloodbath.

This wondrous item increased Li Wei's maximum mental strength by 50 points, bringing his current maximum to 13079 points.

Then a talent called "Eye of Light" was born, making it easier for Li Xiuwei to use Light-based magic.

Furthermore, this wondrous object gave birth to a special physique called the [Great Light King Body], which can inflict significant damage enhancements on darkness, the abyss, and even nightmare creatures. The effect is similar to the [Inhuman Sin] effect of Li Wei's [King's Seal], but it's a high-end version. For Li Wei at this point, the enhancement from the seal's effect is negligible.

With the [Great Light King Body], even Li Wei's normal attacks can be enchanted with light energy, making every strike a critical hit against demons. Not to mention, if he uses light-based magic.

The last function is somewhat abstract. Li Wei named it the "Mirror of Light." In his mind, Li Wei's left eye wears a pair of gold-rimmed monocles.

Li Wei is still developing the function of these glasses. The only method he has so far is to use them to emit rays of light. However, he feels that the glasses' function is not limited to this.

His purpose in leaving seclusion this time was to go to the God-Forsaken Continent, grind the demons for a while, and climb the leaderboard.

After all, the rare and precious item, the Hand of the Winter Emperor, is still waiting for Li Wei to redeem.

Upon seeing Levi, Triss said:

"Thank you. You must have chosen the Black Queen Serpent for Ace, right?"

Li Wei laughed:

"You're welcome, it's just a mutually beneficial arrangement. Madam, I have an idea I'd like to discuss with you."

Triss said:

"Alright, let's go to my wizard tower."

And so, Elena recounted the previous discussion about purifying demonic energy, and Triss said solemnly:

"Based on past bloody battles, the Wizard Council's purification methods should be limited to what they currently have. However, it's unclear whether there are other methods this time. I remember the council had previously researched the method you mentioned, which relies on plants, seaweed, or microorganisms to purify demonic energy. However, it was later discovered that while the demonic energy was purified, the plants also underwent some terrible mutations, so the project was discontinued."

Li Weidao:

"The fungi of our Ancient Dragon Continent also absorb demonic energy and do not mutate. Whether it's fungal bombs or fungal colonies, after decomposition, they are all normal organic matter. The Green Race has strong adaptability and evolutionary capabilities. Combining the two might really allow us to develop a way to combat the pollution of the Abyss. If we survive the Blood War and our wizard civilization is strong enough, it's not impossible that we could even use these plants to launch a counterattack against the Abyss and purify it."

Triss said:

"Ms. Lucy is currently commanding the warband on the Forsaken Continent. We can go to the Central Realm and react to the Black Abyss Walker and the Frost Witch."

Triss could understand Levi's feelings.

The Wizarding World can't remain passive like this forever. Whether it's useful or not, it's worth a try.

a few days later.

The three arrived at the Central Realm and met the Black Abyss Walker.

The Black Abyss Walker's aura was even stronger than before.

He seemed to have just finished a fierce battle; his face was covered in hideous scars, and dense demonic energy swirled around him, preventing his injuries from healing.

Li Wei was startled.

The Black Abyss Walker's strength is so great that he's practically on the verge of becoming a legend.

A level nine early-stage demon like the Lord of a Thousand Eyes wouldn't even be a match for him; if an enemy could injure him, then that enemy must be formidable.

On a battlefield unseen by wizards below the ninth ring, such as Li Wei, legendary wizards and grand wizards were already engaged in fierce combat with the higher echelons of the Abyss.

The reason why the Wizarding World has not yet been invaded by level nine demons is inseparable from the secret efforts of these important figures.

This filled Li Wei with admiration. Generally speaking, the wizarding world was relatively united in the face of a common enemy. As far as he knew, many dark wizarding organizations had also taken the initiative to accept the Wizarding Council's offer of amnesty and joined the bloody battlefield.

Of course, there were also some dark wizards, such as opportunists like the Immersed Ancient City and the Black Sun Tower, who chose to stand on the opposite side of the wizarding world and joined the Council of All Races.

If the Abyss weren't so chaotic, and joining it was practically suicide, these people might have become its lackeys.

The Black Abyss Walker said:

"Lady Gulveig is currently engaged in a remote battle with the Faceless King Jupiter of the Abyss, a battle we cannot comprehend, and is temporarily unable to spare any attention."

Li Weidao:

"Well, I have two things here that I'd like to show to you, senior."

After showing the samples of fungi and the Green Clan to the Black Abyss Walker, he smiled and nodded.

"I understand. You can go back now. Leave the rest to me."

Li Weidao:

"Okay, I'll probably be hunting demons on the God-Forsaken Continent for the next while. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me."

The Black Abyss Walker said softly:

"Okay, be careful. Lucy is over there. If you have any problems, you can go to her. Don't be shy... Safety first."

After returning to the Ancient Dragon Continent, Elena continued her seclusion, focusing on mastering her secondary profession.

After advancing to the seventh ring, and after more than a hundred years of hard work, her Qi cultivation has reached the peak of the fifth level. However, she still needs an epiphany to break through to the sixth level and shatter the void. This is something that cannot be rushed, and Baihua is quite easygoing.

On the contrary, the path of the pharmacist has advanced to the sixth ring, becoming a sixth-ring pharmacist, and is already able to concoct some basic potions for himself.

Her chivalry was also at the peak of level five. Despite juggling so many roles, her rapid progress stemmed from two main sources: her talent as one of the Seven Shining Legends, and the occasional consumption of the Immortal Banyan Dragon bloodline essence. The reason it was only occasional was because the Immortal Banyan Dragon Lady's status was comparable to the Old Witch. She received a fixed annual quota of bloodline essence, which was used up quickly, and no one dared to draw blood from a level eight pure-blooded dragon.

After refining the Amber River, Baihua's wizarding skills have improved even further. With her talent, she will reach the seventh ring senior level within two hundred years at the latest.

Triss, after returning to the Witch's House, continued her research in medicine at her own pace, while also helping Levi guard Nightmare Territory. This territory nominally belonged to Levi, but most of the time, it was Triss who did the work. Triss didn't complain, after all, without the opportunity provided by Levi, she wouldn't have been able to possess such a vast territory and earn a steady stream of battle merits.

……

Middle-earth.

Fire Dragon Shop.

On this day, in the secluded place, the Holy Infant closed his eyes, as a stream of fiery red light surged into his mind.

Inside the Holy Tower of the Dharma Ring, the Holy Infant's three-foot-long perfect primordial soul opened its eyes.

This spirit has a unique design. It has an eye and a finger that are frost blue and stand out. It also has an arm and a heart that is crimson and shines brightly.

"The Frost King's Finger, the Frost King's Eye, the Flame King's Arm, the Flame King's Heart... It feels like playing a jigsaw puzzle."

"The Heart of the Flame King is a more crucial Flame King-type artifact than the Arm of the Flame King. After refining it, my Ice and Fire Holy Body has been greatly enhanced."

"The Flame King's Heart and Flame King's Arm are both Morning Star artifacts, as is the Frost King's Eye. In comparison, the Frost King's Finger is only a Sky-level artifact. These two types of artifacts are quite interesting."

The Holy Infant felt that he seemed to have grasped some of the patterns of the [Flame King] and [Frost King] sequence artifacts.

This refinement directly increased his mental strength by 60 points.

He has been at the sixth level of perfection for over a hundred years, and his mental strength is now 4600 points. He should be able to reach his limit within a hundred years.

Furthermore, the Heart of the Flame King granted him a special talent called [Blazing Heartbeat], which is quite powerful. The only drawback is that it did not give birth to a companion spirit creature.

However, with the Flame King's Mobile Furnace and the Snow King, the Holy Infant was already satisfied.

Over the years of cultivation, the Holy Infant has already acquired 11 witch marks, and only 4 more are needed to complete the target of becoming the true self.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he could become a seventh-ring wizard in the next century, perhaps even before Gandalf, second only to Victor.

……

The continent abandoned by the gods.

Within the typhoon-stricken layer, a figure of a black-armored swordsman, riding a white tiger, leisurely descended.

To this day, Li Wei has remained relatively unknown for 90 years since the bloody wars began.

He is now a seventh-ring wizard, having perfected 27 sixth-ring elemental soul spells, mastered 4 seventh-ring elemental soul spells, and perfected 9 talent spells.

The Knight's Way, Golden Dragon, Crimson Emperor Dragon, and Heavenly King Dragon are all at level seven. The Crimson Dragon has also reached its limit, but there is a lack of upgrade materials. Nightmare Dragon and Death Dragon are only a matter of time before they can be upgraded.

In terms of combat techniques, the "Extreme Strategy," which combines the strengths of various schools and forms its own unique style, has already taken shape.

There was nothing that absolutely needed to be mastered in a short time. He felt it was time to start practicing spells and combat skills through real battles, and incidentally, advance his "Primordial Spirit" skills. He couldn't just keep reinventing the wheel.

Now, there are still 15 years until the opening of the Underworld City and the Dark Tower. During this time, if there are no major problems on the Ancient Dragon Continent, Li Wei will not go back and will focus on climbing the Demon Ranking.

He doesn't aim for the top spot; he only wants to acquire the "Hand of the Winter Emperor" as soon as possible.

The headquarters of the Mountain Giant Wizarding Order.

Soraya had just returned from the front lines, and during her rest, she turned on her communication device.

"Hmph, old man, he hasn't sent a message yet... Oh well, he must be in seclusion, not wanting to be the worst of the three Gondor heroes."

The three Gondorians had forged a strong bond of friendship through years of battle, like brothers. However, rumors circulated that they were secretly rivals. After all, wizards are a group of self-interested individuals.

Li Wei paid no attention to these rumors.

In fact, this is better, giving the world a distinct image of three distinct personalities. Who would have thought that the famous Three Heroes were just his clones?

Suddenly.

Soraya's expression changed slightly.

Not far behind, in the void, a tall figure with a smile on his face quietly appeared; it was Li Wei.

This made her sigh inwardly. Li Wei's method of concealing his aura was truly terrifying. You must know that she was a senior seventh-ring wizard, a whole realm higher than him.

Soraya laughed:

"Congratulations, Lord Twilight Palace Master, on breaking through to the seventh ring. May I ask what brings you here?"

Li Wei spoke frankly and fairly:

"Madam, I'd like to cooperate with you. You provide me with accurate clues about the demons' whereabouts through official intelligence, and I'll solve the problem for you and earn some battle merits in return."

Upon hearing this, Soraya pondered for a moment, then hesitated and said:

"Providing clues is no problem, but Lord Li Wei, are you sure you want to hunt demons alone? The Forsaken Continent is now a den of dragons and tigers. Without the support of a battle group or team, it's easy to capsize in a ditch."

Soraya knew that Li Wei was very strong, but even a peerless genius like [Thunder of Annihilation] relied on his [Thunder Lightning Wizard Corps] and the tacit cooperation of different factions and different roles to hunt demons so smoothly.

Li Weidao:

"I'm used to being alone, ma'am, don't worry."

Soraya sighed:

"Alright then, if I have any tasks I can't handle, I'll leave them to you. You can also take on some bounty missions at the Blood War Temple, which will give you extra rewards."

Li Wei laughed:

Thank you!

Watching Li Wei's departing figure, Soraya couldn't help but sigh, perhaps she was getting old.

A month later.

On a certain battlefield.

A level 7 early-stage Flame Demon Lord, wielding a giant flaming axe, laughed maniacally.

"It's useless. Before the great Iles, all are ashes! Run, you insects!"

Ahead, the remaining members of Harris's squad put up a desperate fight.

The leaders were a pair of wizards, both at the sixth level of cultivation, who looked old and frail, with white hair and an aura of decline. It seemed their time was not far off.

The team was in dire straits in the face of a level seven fire demon.

An old man said:

"Madam, I'll hold off the Flame Demon. You take the squad and escape."

The old woman said:

"Old man, why should I run for my life? I won't live much longer anyway."

The old man laughed heartily.

"That makes sense. In that case, we should take someone down with us before we die."

The two elderly people suddenly became very imposing.

The next moment, their eyes widened in surprise, and they stopped in their tracks.

But then, the Balrog of Iles silently split open from the middle, lava, intestines, and entrails flowing all over the ground. Its thousand-meter-tall body crashed to the ground, kicking up dust that shot into the sky.

A black-armored swordsman stood atop the clouds, one hand behind his back, the other gripping his sword. His calm gaze, like a tranquil star, watched over Harris's squad.

Li Wei felt a deep sense of melancholy.

Li Wei had seen these two old men a very, very long time ago.

They were the former lords of Stromgarde: Critreth the Current Master and El the Airflow Conductor.

I still remember when Li Wei was just a first-ring wizard, they were already Yuanhun masters whom Li Wei could only look up to.

Time has passed, six or seven hundred years have gone by, and Li Wei has reached the seventh ring.

Surprisingly, they're still struggling on the Sixth Ring Road; it seems there's no way they can make it to the Seventh Ring Road...

At this moment, Li Wei deeply realized how awesome the proficiency panel was.

Every drop of his sweat was well spent!

His youth was completely without regrets... except for the man he was with during his mortal years.

Li Wei said calmly:

"You all leave now, this place is mine."

The two elderly men seemed to awaken from a dream.

"Thank you, senior. Harris's team, evacuate immediately!"

As former high-ranking Yuan Souls, they naturally did not recognize Li Wei.

They would never have imagined that this senior in front of them was just an unknown nobody hundreds of years ago.

Li Wei looked at the remaining demons, their faces fierce and fearless as they pounced on him.

Li Wei forcibly suppressed the urge to use powerful moves like [Black Annihilation Divine Thunder] and [Crimson Emperor Domain], and summoned three thousand Shadow Dragons.

He then cast holy light spells such as [Holy Flame Giant] and [Shining Eye]... and silently slaughtered with his sword energy.

Little Leon followed behind, tirelessly collecting the spiderweb, sweat pouring down his face with a satisfied expression. He wiped the sweat from his brow with his little hand, put his hands on his hips, and said:

"The master is right, even the smallest bit of mosquito meat should not be wasted."
