Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 471 Seven Rings Completed! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

The continent of Oser.

A verdant wizard's tower stands tall on the plains.

On the tower walls, branches meander and intertwine, green leaves flourish, flowers bloom, and wild fruits adorn the ground, making it seem as if this is not a wizard's tower, but a towering giant tree.

Around it are various buildings such as small wizard towers and laboratories.

From time to time, well-trained wizards would return from capturing strange insects, accompanied by a group of insect lamp masters with pale skin, bizarre faces, and strange insects crawling on their backs.

This is the research base on the continent of Orser. Ms. Rowling and her team are studying the mysteries of the Insect Lamp Masters and the strange insects. In addition, the Spellbreaker project is also being carried out here.

Rowling's demiplane, the Reverse Tree Realm.

A towering tree, like a pillar supporting the sky, divides the world into two parts. On the golden plains, many wizards are busy in their experimental fields.

"Madam, Oasis One already possesses the ability to absorb demonic energy. After absorption, it can be converted into ordinary elemental power through its internal transformation process, with a conversion rate of approximately one-tenth."

Rowling listened to the report and a look of delight appeared on her face.

"We've finally succeeded in developing it. Next, we'll speed up the seedling cultivation and breeding work, and strive to spread it throughout the entire territory as soon as possible. The concentration of Nora's elemental power will continue to increase as the number of demons that die increases. The wizards' cultivation speed will also increase significantly. After surviving the bloody battle, the new world in the future will be more habitable."

Oasis One is the second generation of the Green Clan, born from the combination of the advantages of fungi and the Green Clan.

Compared to the traditional Green Clan, Oasis One can absorb demonic energy while retaining the Green Clan's powerful adaptability and evolutionary abilities. It can differentiate into many types of plants with powerful destructive capabilities.

These plants have undergone special genetic editing; they will only be highly aggressive towards creatures containing demonic energy, and will not attack ordinary people or wizards.

In this way, it can be widely planted throughout Nora without the need to worry about the plant harming people.

……

Imperial Palace.

Li Wei introspectively examined his body. Within one of the cells, the sixth divine palace had already taken shape. The six divine palaces formed a hexagonal shape within the cell.

"Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique, successfully reached level seven."

He opened the proficiency panel.

Li Wei————————

Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique: 19th Rank (1/10 million), Special Effects: Nightmare Dragon Body - Legendary (Level 7 Early Stage), Bloodline Dharma Image: Nightmare Mist; Blood Source True Armor: Nightmare Dragon Armor; Exclusive Weapon: Nightmare Helmet (Level 7); Bloodline Divine Runes: 0/45.

……

Compared to level six, the abilities of level seven Nightmare Dragons are simply further enhancements on the original basis, such as the increased range of the [Nightmare Domain] and the increased authority of the [Nightmare Lord].

With Li Wei's current authority, he can bring in a maximum of 30,000 people. As the number of extraordinary individuals in various organizations across the Ancient Dragon Continent increases, there will be opportunities to send even more people in to explore the wilderness.

However, the main force is currently focused on the Bloodbath, so Li Wei doesn't need so many slots for the time being.

Having resolved the issue of the Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique, Li Wei was in high spirits. The next step was to advance towards level eight.

……

This day.

Twilight Temple.

Li Wei rarely comes to meetings, so he takes the opportunity to do some inspections.

After all eighteen riders had arrived, the Blood Knight began to report on his work.

With the destruction of the Burning Expeditionary Force, the demons' offensive not only did not slow down, but became even more ferocious.

In recent years, the casualty figures at the Twilight Temple have been rising year after year. Fortunately, the Green Clan that was planted on the coastline has now grown into a part of the population, greatly reducing the number of knights lost.

The Green Clan's performance in actual combat is quite good, especially effective against low-level demons.

The current casualties are within the organization's tolerance range. In addition, the influx of fresh blood from ordinary people has kept the impact minimal so far.

Among the older generation of knights, apart from Golden Lion, Holy Ape, and Goddess, the others have all reached the late stage of level six. Blood Knight has even begun preparations to advance to level seven, and is expected to break through within one or two hundred years.

Not long ago, the Golden Lion Knight had just reached the fifth-circle wizard realm with the perfect sixth-level talent. If he hadn't been a sixth-level knight, he would already be nearing the age of nine hundred. Fortunately, with the knight's support and ample wizarding resources, he was able to advance to the fifth circle at a leisurely pace.

The Goddess Knight is in a similar situation to the Golden Lion.

Her wizarding talent is also quite good, as she has a dual affinity with both elements. She has always had smooth sailing and is now at the fifth-ring senior level, having also achieved a perfect advancement in six talents.

She recently gave birth to a son with Mu Di, named Eddie. Eddie carries her Aurora Bird bloodline and also possesses the talent of the Child of Ice Element.

This pleased Mu Di for a long time. In front of the other knights, he couldn't stop talking about the Child of the Elements, just like a parent from his previous life.

At the meeting, Li Wei was also pleased about this, as this was the first time in recorded history that the knights of the Twilight Temple had given birth to a descendant of an elemental child, and the rarest of all, an ice element.

Considering this could be considered a good deed, he immediately bestowed the Earth-grade Frost Treasure he had previously obtained upon the Goddess Knight at the meeting as a one-year anniversary gift for Little Eddie.

When Eddie gets a few more years older, he can start learning meditation techniques, and his mother can then teach him magical knowledge.

With the Child of Ice Elementals, a Truth Artifact, personal guidance from a Fifth Ring Wizard, and ample training resources, Eddie is getting off to a rock-bottom start with so many buffs.

Think back to when Li Wei first started out. Even embarking on the path of a wizard was fraught with difficulties. He was the Child of Chaos at the beginning, with nothing but his character stats.

Therefore, Eddie's early training will definitely not be slow, and at least before the Fifth Ring, there will be no obstacles.

The cultivation speed at this stage may be faster than Li Wei's back then, but after the fifth ring, you have to rely on yourself.

Taking Simon's example as a cautionary tale, he also warned Mudi and Elsa that they must not spoil Eddie too much and not let him have it too easy. Otherwise, his mindset would not be able to keep up, and without the necessary tempering, he would not be able to establish himself in the wizarding world after leaving the Ancient Dragon Continent. If he became arrogant and domineering just because he was a second-generation genius, he would not go far.

Mudi, having risen through the ranks of humanity, naturally understood this. Li Wei was worried that Elsa might be a bit too indulgent; she had once had a child, who was a saint of the church but later returned to the Astral Kingdom, a regret she carried.

The other knights also gave Eddie their own small gifts, a small blessing from their elders. This deeply moved Mudi and Elsa.

Of course, even though Eddie is the Child of the Elements, the couple would not stop him if he wanted to practice the way of the knight.

Li Wei once again encouraged single riders to find a suitable partner and start their own family as soon as possible.

Although there are many comrades in the Twilight Temple, loneliness is still inevitable in the quiet of the night. Even extraordinary beings need a touch of family, friendship, and love to enrich their lives.

The knights of the middle generation have all reached the mid-stage of level six, which goes without saying.

Among the new generation of knights.

The Alligator Turtle Knight recently unleashed his accumulated power and reached level six. The Pheasant Knight also quietly reached level six as well.

The Twilight Eighteen Riders have finally achieved level six for all of them, which truly gives them the style and prestige of the "Eighteen Riders".

As for the Fire Dragon Knight, he has already taken the lead and reached the late stage of level six. Now, as a supernova, he and the Shadow Queen are both ranked in the top twenty of the level seven demon-slaying list, and have become big stars in the Ancient Dragon Continent and even the Wizarding World.

Of course, in terms of direct combat strength, the Fire Dragon Knight is stronger. The Shadow Queen is currently only a senior sixth-ringed warrior. Her high ranking is mainly due to the power of her [Shadow Crown] talent, which allows her to have a far greater number of summons than ordinary shadow faction wizards, making her extremely efficient at hunting demons, equivalent to a low-end version of Levi.

Besides the eighteen riders, the Twilight Temple also has many promising talents at the peak of level five, who all have the potential to reach level six in the future.

With the protection of the rare treasures left by Li Wei in the Twilight Temple, even if these people cannot overcome the Blood Calamity and fail to advance, there is still a certain probability that they can save their lives and avoid the loss of the Twilight Temple's main fighting force. Many top wizarding organizations do the same.

After the meeting, Li Wei went to the Council of Elders of the Ancient Dragon Empire.

Thanks to the solid foundation laid by the early ancient sages, the empire has produced 15 level-six powerhouses. However, due to the wars of recent years, two have been lost, leaving only 13 remaining. The Three Kings, these veterans, are now all at the mid or late level-six cultivation level.

In addition, the Lizardmen's Psionic Academy is also developing quite well. Although no sixth-circle spellcasters have emerged, there are quite a few fifth-circle spellcasters who can assist the Tower of Dawn in its work.

On the Mink Tribe's side, the white wolf girl is doing very well. After successfully evolving, her strength has been steadily improving, and she is now at the mid-stage of level six.

Unfortunately, neither Taiga nor Simba, these two early veterans, succeeded in advancing to level six. One survived, while the other perished, leaving Li Wei with a sense of melancholy.

So far, among the Mink Tribe, only Argenta, the special white wolf girl, has successfully advanced.

Li Wei speculated that it might be because the current artificial knight bloodline still has some flaws.

In addition, Li Wei had previously collaborated with the official authorities to establish a training base for "non-bloodline breathing techniques" on the Mortal Continent, named [Twilight Academy].

The original intention of Twilight Academy was not to cultivate top-level strongmen, but to strive to give more ordinary people who are not from knight families the opportunity to embark on the path of knights and achieve something.

Let them practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies, hone their combat skills, and improve their physique so that they have some basic combat ability and are not too weak. At the very least, they will be able to fight against cannon fodder from some extraordinary races.

The Twilight Academy has collected, perfected, and optimized the existing rudimentary non-bloodline breathing techniques. Enrollment is only required for a small registration fee.

Of course, the college also sets some graduation requirements. If students cannot obtain the corresponding degree within the time limit, the official will not waste any more resources, and the students can only seek some job opportunities in civilian security organizations.

If someone has a good talent for breathing techniques or combat skills, they will be discovered and given the opportunity to study at the Twilight Temple on the Ancient Dragon Continent.

All of this is based on the premise of not having wizard or other extraordinary professional talents. If one has other talents, other paths will definitely be prioritized, and non-bloodline breathing techniques will be the last choice.

In the long run, the average strength of the human race will undergo a qualitative improvement, and mortals will also have some ability to protect themselves in the face of civilization wars.

The Giant Roaring Legion's ice and fire giants have developed quite well. Apart from their leader Besita, two more level six powerhouses have emerged in the past few hundred years.

The Valkyrie Chapter of the End has also produced its second Level 6 Amazon warrior. The Amazon race's potential is actually much greater than this.

Their clan has passed down the story of "Valkyrie Ra" for generations, who is said to be a powerful being who can fight against the gods.

Later, the Valkyrie was destroyed by the gods, and her bloodline was cursed, making it difficult for strong beings to emerge.

As for the Tower of Dawn and the Arcane Academy, they all thrived thanks to the war.

The number of mechanics has increased dramatically since hundreds of years ago. In addition to the Tower Master and his wife, many other outstanding mechanics such as Aenea have emerged.

The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon-Slaying Shuttle, such a powerful weapon, is updated every few decades, with its power constantly increasing. From being unable to contend with level six enemies at the beginning, it can now even pose a threat to level seven enemies.

Mechanical reconnaissance creatures are scattered throughout the ancient dragon continent, monitoring the demons that attempt to invade around the clock.

Thanks to cooperation with the council, mechanics have been widely used in this bloody battle and have played a significant role. The tower master's research and development funds also all come from the council's appropriations.

Just a few years ago, the Way of Mechanics and the School of Alchemy officially merged to become the officially recognized wizarding school: the Way of Mechanics.

The Tower of Dawn is the headquarters of the Mechanic School, while the original headquarters of the Alchemist School, the Burning School, has become a branch.

The group of wizarding geniuses that Li Wei brought out from the Dark Tower have also grown up and become the backbone of the Tower of Dawn.

Not long ago.

To meet the growing expansion needs of the Ancient Dragon Continent, the Tower of Dawn purchased a small continent from the Council, located only tens of thousands of miles away from the Ancient Dragon Continent.

This continent is primarily used to settle the ever-increasing number of mortals and establish settlements. At the same time, it will dispatch specialized warbands to build mechanical fortresses to maintain order and ensure the safety of mortals.

This day.

While Li was on his way to repair the vehicle, he suddenly received a message.

After reading it, he left the Ancient Dragon Continent with a slightly excited heart and headed to the Aose Continent.

……

Trees grow upside down.

Li Wei entered the legendary wizard demiplane for the first time, his expression filled with curiosity.

"Please have a seat."

Ms. Rowling sat down at the tea table by herself.

Li Wei sat upright and solemnly.

"What does the lady want with me?"

Rowling said:

"Didn't you submit samples of fungi and green organisms before? I have now researched and developed the plant life forms you envisioned."

Li Wei was startled. No wonder he was considered the foremost figure in the history of the life sciences. This efficiency was terrifying.

Rowling said:

"I'm currently working hard to cultivate seedlings and seeds. When the time comes, you can come to me first to collect them and plant them on your Ancient Dragon Continent."

Li Wei quickly replied:

Thank you, ma'am!

Rowling said:

"You're welcome. The main reason is that the two types of plants you provided are quite special, especially the fungus... I've also dealt with Lady Fungus before, trying to obtain her fungal spores, but unfortunately I didn't succeed."

Li Wei said:

"I was lucky; I found it among the spoils of war."

As they were talking.

The earth above the inverted tree boundary rumbled and roared.

Beneath that towering tree emerged a translucent behemoth, a hundred miles long, with a spiral horn on its head and covered in yellowish-brown scales. In its belly was something like a black hole, seemingly capable of sucking away everything, including light.

Rowling smiled and said:

"Sorry, this is the companion spirit I obtained in my early years that's causing trouble. I call it [Earthwalker Rorschach]. It's responsible for loosening the soil and fertilizing my demiplane. It also played a crucial role in the fact that I was able to develop Green Clan No. 1 so quickly. It might have scared you."

Li Wei's heart stirred. This colossal beast, hundreds of miles long, reminded him of his Ah Long.

It seems that Rowling also obtained the same Truth artifact as herself, and was also fortunate enough to obtain a companion spirit, which grew into a legendary artifact.

Judging from that single horn, it has most likely undergone evolution.

Although it was merely a functional companion spirit, it gave Li Wei the feeling of facing a great wizard—no, even an ordinary great wizard might not be its match.

The companion spirit reflects the master's strength and realm, not that it is very strong, but that Rowling, this newly emerging legend, is too strong!

The Earthwalker stopped its enormous head in front of Li Wei, breathing heavily as it curiously examined him.

Rowling said:

"Rorschach, don't be naughty."

After being reprimanded, the giant beast burrowed underground, glanced at Li Wei, and disappeared. Li Wei guessed that it might have sensed the presence of one of its own kind on him.

Li Weidao:

"Madam, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

Rowling paused, then said:

"Okay, I'll be living on the continent of Aose from now on. You're welcome to visit me."

……

He returned to the Ancient Dragon Continent with a heavy heart. Facing Rowling, Li Wei had a persistent feeling that everything about him would be seen through.

Of course, it might not be an illusion... It's perfectly normal to be seen through by a legendary wizard.

As the pinnacle of human combat power, and great beings who fought against the gods, their realm was beyond Li Wei's comprehension.

Ordinary wizards may never meet a legend in their entire lives. But Levi has already met two up close: Rowling and Gulweg.

These two were people he had known before, back when he was just a mortal. He felt a surge of emotion.

"The problem of demonic energy has been initially resolved. All we need to do is spread the seeds of Oasis One, and the Abyss's plan to pollute Nora by sending cannon fodder to their deaths can be delayed."

For the ever-evolving wizarding civilization, the longer the battle lines are, the more advantageous it is. Ten thousand years may not bring any change to the Abyss civilization, but it is enough for the wizarding world to undergo theoretical transformations and technological explosions, reaching new heights, especially in this golden age of intersecting planes.

Currently, the wizarding history community regards the establishment of the council 300,000 years ago as the first knowledge explosion of wizarding civilization, and the current interdimensional convergence may be the second.

……

Two years later.

Nora, 460.

The seven-ring alchemical creature from Fire Dragon Craftsmanship was finally completed and put into use. The Ten Directions Absolute Prison Heavenly Dragon Formation in Emperor Li Wei's palace was completely finished, greatly increasing his sense of security. He spent his days in seclusion, observing the changes in the war and silently cultivating.

With the Abyss's defeat on the Forsaken Continent, the remaining demons were gradually wiped out by the Legion and various demon hunters.

Meanwhile, the demon army split into two groups.

They continued their advance towards the Forsaken Continent, using the already constructed human demon land to establish a bridgehead.

The Balrog Tyrant and the Lord of Wrath formed the [Flame Alliance], which is mainly composed of Balrogs and Wrathful Demons, supplemented by other demons with various functions.

The strength of the [Flame Alliance] is far superior to that of the [Burning Expeditionary Force]. The individual strength of the Sky Wrath Demon is slightly stronger than that of the Flame Demon. Not only are they physically powerful, but they can also ignite human anger, causing humans to lose their minds and do things that defy common sense.

The Deep Blue Expeditionary Force alone is no longer enough to fight against the Wrathful Alliance. Therefore, the Wizard Council has drawn elite troops from the Frost School and the Earth School to support the Deep Blue Expeditionary Force.

Meanwhile, individual witchers like the Gondor Three and Elena, who possess formidable individual strength, remain steadfast on the Forsaken continent, sharing the burden with the official warbands, and have not retreated.

The second demonic path is the "Endless Alliance," composed of the "Lord of the Deep" and the "Faceless King."

This legion set its sights on the Endless Sea, the largest area of ​​the subspace in Nora.

The Endless Sea is vast and boundless, and the wizarding organizations are loosely distributed. Moreover, for various reasons, its order and laws are not as strict as those of Middle-earth.

Furthermore, the Ocean School currently only has one legendary wizard, making him seem like the easiest target, which is why the demons chose this place as their second point of attack.

The Endless Alliance is mainly composed of the [Unidentified Demon] and the [Bottom-dwelling Fish Demon], one specializing in camouflage and stealth, and the other specializing in naval warfare.

The Wizarding Council attaches great importance to this. Unlike the Forsaken Continent, the Endless Sea is home to numerous mortals and low-ranking wizards on its many islands, representing the fresh blood of the wizarding world. The Endless Sea is also an important cradle of modern wizarding civilization.

Under the organization of the Wizarding Council, a large wizarding legion, led by the Tower of Stars, was born, named the Sword of Stars.

The legion is led by the Grand Wizard [Sea Traveler], and it brings together elite wizarding squads from the Six Towers of the Stars, including the Witch's House, Lilith's Hut, and the Letney Family.

The leaders of the battle groups are all geniuses, or even top geniuses, from various top organizations.

Characters like the Snow Lotus Witch and the Child of Hurricanes also took this opportunity to become active on the military's battlefield and make a name for themselves.

Aside from the Forsaken Continent and the Endless Sea, there are many other battlefields, but they are not large in scale and need not be discussed further.

When Li Wei, who was on the Ancient Dragon Continent, saw the news of the opening of the Endless Sea Battlefield, his expression changed.

"Ms. Triss is still at the Witch's House."

He immediately sent a message to inquire and learned that Triss had not joined the [Sword of the Stars] because she was in charge of potion research.

"Those geniuses from the Dark Tower of yesteryear, all of whom survived, have grown into pillars of the wizarding world, renowned figures in their own right. Most have already reached the sixth ring, and the Sky Dragon Wizard even recently advanced to the seventh ring... This kid is no simpleton either. After escaping from the clutches of the three-headed dragon, he learned to be low-key and steady, which allowed him to safely achieve the seventh ring."

In the years that followed, battle reports from the front lines kept arriving in various parts of the Witch Realm, and Li Wei often read the reports to keep abreast of the situation. Once he reached the seventh ring of perfection, he would definitely spend some time hunting demons, and before advancing to the eighth ring, he would exchange the two seventh-ring limited Sun Artifacts for them.

And so, 16 years passed in a flash.

Nora, 476.

The 262th year of the bloody battle.

News from the Witchcraft Realm has arrived that many areas in the Outer Ring, including Outer Ring District 9, have fallen to the [Endless Alliance].

The elusive benthic fish demon and the formless demon are indeed a formidable duo.

The Sword of the Stars has established a defensive line at the junction of the inner and outer rings, keeping most of the low-level demons in the outer ring area. At the same time, it has arranged rescue teams to use airships or secondary space rings to pick up mortals.

The Yellow Earth Continent has begun a full-scale strategic relocation, and the branch of the Twilight Temple located there has also been forced to evacuate to assist the authorities and transport personnel.

In the outer seas of the Ancient Dragon Continent, large-scale armies of benthic fish demons began to appear. The Temple dispatched the [Song of the Siren] warband, skilled in naval warfare and assassination, in conjunction with the [Swaying Algae], green creatures planted in earlier years, and they repeatedly achieved great feats, hunting down countless demons.

Based on their battle merits, the knights of the various warbands of the Twilight Temple can also exchange for bloodline essences and even bloodline crystals that are not available in their organizations in the merit shop, so as to grow stronger through battle.

This year.

Li Wei is 900 years old. He has been in seclusion for nearly 60 years since returning from his journey to the Dark Land.

Now, his mental strength has finally broken through the 11000-point mark, reaching the standard of the seventh ring perfection.

His aura was much stronger than before, naturally exuding an unfathomable majesty.

This is because the "soul of illusion and reality" within his mind has reached its final stage.

Inside the seven-layered Holy Tower of Law Rings, a somewhat ethereal and unpredictable illusory primordial spirit sat solemnly, its face dignified. The numerous primordial spirit spells imprinted on the primordial spirit had become one with it.

Li Wei casually pointed his finger, and the Fire Dragon Calamity exploded high in the sky, flames soaring into the heavens, the void collapsing, and the sky and earth splitting apart.

"The power of the innate spells has also increased. When they are used in succession, even an eighth-ring wizard would not dare to withstand them head-on."

Li Wei opened the proficiency panel.

Li Wei————————

Micro-disintegration technique: 17th order (limit).

……

"This spell has finally reached its culmination since I entered the seventh ring of cultivation. Now I'm just waiting to cultivate the 'Minor Disintegration Spell' after entering the eighth ring."

In addition, "Leap of Fire" and "Turning Earth into a Prison" have also advanced to the seventeenth rank.

"Absolute Freeze", "Wild Voice", and "Wind of Shadows" have been upgraded to level sixteen.

The last spell I learned, "Exiled Light," has already reached level fifteen. All other spells have reached their limits.

"Thirteen spell marks are about enough. Next, I'll hone my mental strength to the limit and then learn fourteen spells."

For other wizards, improving their mental strength is very difficult.

However, Li Wei didn't feel anything. He was still more than two thousand points of spiritual power away from his limit. He would go to Hell in a while to collect a batch of soul stones and refine the next Sun-level artifact. He could reach the limit in about a hundred years.

The more challenging part is imprinting 27 witch marks. However, with the proficiency panel at hand, everything is predictable, and you just need to follow the steps systematically.

In addition to spells, the Chariot Rune was upgraded to Tier 16, increasing speed by 200% and expanding the Void Travel distance by 2000 li to 12000 li. The Lover Rune was upgraded to Tier 12, increasing luck by 110%.

Through constant practice with Lope's Nightmare World, Li Wei's "Extreme Strategy" also reached the later stages, and the power of his combat skills increased accordingly.

Regarding breathing techniques.

The Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique, which was promoted the latest, is progressing rapidly.

On one hand, the bloodline elixir of the Golden Spear is very effective.

On the other hand, after reaching level seven in Nightmare Dragon Breathing, Li Wei can gain "AFK experience" at any time, even when he is not in the Nightmare World. Although the amount of experience gained is not much, it is stable and long-lasting.

This has led to the breathing method, which has always been the slowest to practice, now becoming the one with the fastest progress.

At the current pace, we should be almost done with the six breathing techniques.

Having completed the seventh ring, Li Wei resolved to leave seclusion and hunt demons.

Out of concern for Triss's safety, Levi brought her from the Endless Sea to the Ancient Dragon Continent.

"It's all the same to do research anywhere anyway," Triss readily agreed. Levi placed the dragonborn giant beside Triss and ordered all the guardians to be at her command before departing.

……

The continent abandoned by the gods.

Li Wei opened the Level 8 Demon Slayer Ranking.

"I've been slacking off for too long, and I'm almost falling out of the top ten."

With over 3.5 million points, Thunder of Annihilation leads the pack by a wide margin. The Sword of Light and the Hand of Fire follow closely behind, only tens of millions of points behind. Li Wei currently holds the top ten position with 1.2 million points.

He couldn't help but sigh.

"Even for a seventh-ring genius wizard, if they want to exchange for a Sun Artifact, given their hunting efficiency, it would take at least a thousand years. The number of demons they hunt during that time would be countless... The Wizarding Council's calculations are too shrewd."

Even a warband demon hunter who has changed jobs cannot hunt demons for a thousand years without doing anything else. They definitely need to cultivate and rest, but they won't be like Li Wei, who works only sporadically.

The Gondor Three and the Hundred Blossoms have all accumulated nearly 30 million points. With the battle intensifying and the number of demons surging, they are not far from exchanging for the Moonlit Treasure, provided they can survive.

"The three clones cooperate perfectly. Even an eighth-level demon can be easily defeated. I'm safe and sound. I won't go and join the fun. According to the council's battle merit calculation, if I go, they won't get any... Elena is a senior seventh-ring member and has her own wizard tower, so she doesn't need me."

With this in mind, Li Wei did not choose to join them, but instead continued his lone wolf strategy as usual.

Of course, he will also keep abreast of the news from there, and if there is any danger, he will rush to provide support immediately.

With his ability to traverse the void, he can arrive as soon as he can, provided he can hold out for a while.

At the same time, he made up his mind that from now on, before hunting demons every day, he would cast a divination and use the spells of "Coin of Destiny" and "Coin of Fortune" to predict good or bad fortune.

While military achievements are commendable, safety comes first.

……

a few days later.

Deep Blue Legion Command Center.

Li Wei met Ms. Lucy.

Lucy seemed somewhat surprised to see Levi.

"Why did you take the initiative to come find me?"

Li Wei laughed:

"Madam, I have been in seclusion for too long, but my strength has recently made a breakthrough, and I have come to help you hunt demons."

He wandered around for several days and found that most of the large-scale demon gathering places he could find were guarded by level eight demons. Out of caution, he did not take action but instead came to find Lucy.

Lucy smiled slightly.

"Not bad, you're almost at the eighth ring. If you want to hunt demons, you can go and support the Endless Sea. The battle there is far more intense than on the God-Forsaken Continent. As for the God-Forsaken Continent, with me and the Deep Blue Expeditionary Force keeping an eye on things, it's fine for now."

Li Wei suddenly realized:

"I understand, thank you, ma'am."

He turned and left.

Lucy watched Levi's figure disappear before returning to her meditation.

……

The endless sea.

The Ninth District of the Outer Ring Road.

Li Wei once again set foot in this sea area where he had just entered the wizarding world, and as he looked around, he saw a faint magical aura lingering.

"In just over a decade, the outer ring has been so severely corrupted by demons."

He arrived at Blackfire Island, where he used to live. On the island, there were still some broken walls and ruins, revealing the traces of time.

Along the way, in the outer ring area, there was no trace of wizards, clearly they had been abandoned. The figures of bottom-dwelling fish demons could be seen everywhere on the sea, all of which were killed by Li Wei and turned into battle merits.

"Next, I will use Blackfire Island as the center and hunt outwards. Let's see when I can wipe out the demons of the Ninth District."

Li Wei waved his hand, and from the shadows behind him, a large number of Shadow Dragons emerged. The [Shadow Wind] swept by, and the Shadow Legion rushed into the sea and sky, beginning their slaughter.

Following a wisp of seventh-level demonic energy, Li Wei began his search. After an unknown amount of time, he discovered his first target.

It was a demonic military camp located on the seabed, filled with eerie demonic energy, where a large army of benthic fish demons was stationed.

There are four level six demons, the leader of which is a pitch-black fish demon that is a thousand meters long, ugly and ferocious.

Outside the military camp, human bone fragments and relics of low-level wizards can be seen everywhere.

This is the Demon Lord stationed in the Ninth District, responsible for wiping out the remnants of the wizards and receiving the ever-descending demon army.

Suddenly.

A menacing, majestic phantom of a thunder beast strode across the waves.

Its body crackled with electricity, black electric snakes crackling and exploding underwater, bursting open above the military camp.

boom!

Within a radius of fifty miles, everything transformed into a sea of ​​thunder, with billions of bolts of lightning shooting out like squid spewing ink.

Li Wei descended, gazing expressionlessly at the demon camp that had vanished into nothingness.

After the Thunder Beast Technique, only the level seven commander and the demons who lived in relatively scattered locations were still alive.

They had occupied this place for a long time, assuming that the wizard had abandoned the outer sea area. They never expected that a fierce general like Li Wei would launch a surprise attack. They were caught completely off guard and were wiped out in an instant.

"You...you are the Lord of Twilight Palace!"

The commander actually recognized Li Wei. Dragging its heavily injured body, it tried to escape, but Li Wei casually took it away with a single Fire Dragon Strike.

Although the power of the burning spell is weakened underwater, it is more than enough to kill this early-stage level seven demon.

Before long, more than two million battle merits were credited to his account.

Li Wei sat cross-legged, waiting for Lyon to clean up the battlefield.

Inside the storage bag, there were already mountains of Abyss Cores of Level 5 and above, and also a large pile of Level 6 and 7 Cores.

Aside from a portion given to the Mind Flayer and Succubus for their training, the rest were hoarded by Li Wei.

He didn't plan to sell it. During the bloody war, the value of the Abyss Core had shrunk drastically, so it was better to keep it and use it to make medicine, artifacts, and magic arrays.

Levi was too lazy to care about the other demon materials, especially the low-level ones. If they were destroyed by magic, so be it; if they were still there, he would just throw them to Arlong as food.

He would only collect the mid-level and high-level items and arrange for someone to organize them when he returned to the Ancient Dragon Continent.

In the Ninth District, Li Wei began his long demon-hunting journey.

He wouldn't stay in one place for long, lest he be targeted by the powerful members of the demon legion. Instead, he would move from place to place, engaging in guerrilla warfare with the demons.

Six months later.

As Li Wei's points began to surge again, the wizards who frequently checked the points leaderboard were astonished to find that the long-dormant Lord of Twilight Temple had reappeared.

District 53, Outer Ring Road.

On the deck of a state-of-the-art warship crackling with lightning, the Thunder of Annihilation held an ancient book, engrossed in it.

The slender Lei Hu walked over, smiling wryly, and said:

"Captain, we need to speed things up! The Twilight Temple Lord has started hunting demons again, and we're in deep trouble..."

The Thunder of Annihilation raised its head, its aura restrained, as if it were not a seventh-ring wizard, but just an ordinary person.

"It's alright. If he can single-handedly wipe out all the demons in the outer ring area, it would be only right for the Wizarding Council to reward him with a Sun-level artifact. Once you reach my level, you'll find that we can't compare to him. Just focus on doing your best."

Lei Hu's eyes widened in surprise. Since meeting the leader, she had discovered that those so-called top geniuses were nothing special; the leader never took them seriously. But she detected a hint of helplessness in the leader's tone. Had the Twilight Palace Master become so powerful that it made the leader somewhat discouraged?

There are some rumors circulating that the top wizards on the current demon-slaying lists may be reincarnations of those great and legendary wizards in the history of the wizarding world.

Although the leader has never admitted it, Lei Hu already regards him as a legendary reincarnation. If the Twilight Palace Lord is even more powerful than a legendary reincarnation, then what kind of reincarnation is he? Could he be, like the Frost Witch, a descendant of some extremely powerful god?

Lei Hu asked again:

"Commander, you've now imprinted a total of 48 witch marks, and your mental strength has long since reached its limit. When will you advance to the eighth ring?"

The Thunder of Annihilation laughed heartily:

"It'll be soon. I just want to see where my limits are."

In his previous life, Havis was a Grand Wizard who ascended to the rank of 69 Spell Marks, and then successfully entered the Legendary realm, becoming Ys, the Thunder of the Mortal World. However, before his fall, he was still quite far from reaching level eleven.

In this life, he possesses two top-tier talents: the [Child of Thunder] and the [Prince of Thunder]. He has the memories, experience, and knowledge of a legendary wizard from his previous life, as well as the resources he accumulated for this life, and the favorable timing and location of this golden age. He will certainly not be satisfied with 69 paths; he will strive for higher levels. As for how far he can go, that depends on his efforts and fortune in this life.

He looked into the distance, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"I wonder how many legendary wizards I've heard of have been reincarnated in this vast and magnificent era."

When I was young and ambitious, I only regretted not being born in the same era as some legendary sages. Now that I have the opportunity, I want to see who can be the first to step into those eleven levels.

I've paid off all the missed monthly tickets. Now I'm asking for monthly tickets, recommendations, and subscriptions.

Correct typos first, then make proper changes.
