Wizard's Journey

Chapter 140 The Three Body Refining Wizards

The duel between Green and Cameron took place in a sparsely populated wilderness.

Beneath their feet lay a bare expanse of smooth, rounded pebbles, which felt somewhat uncomfortable underfoot. Further away, on the grassy field, Peranos and Utong watched from the sidelines, while Barbara was protected behind them.

Wutong exclaimed in surprise, "Over 63,000 points? This Green has more than 10,000 points more than Youquan did back then?"

"My disciple doesn't usually do anything special, and his forbearance is something that even the legendary Youquan could never match back then," Peranos said proudly.

snort!

Wu Tong glared at Peranos, knowing that he had been tricked again and that his senior brother had also swindled him out of his Seven Flavor Fruit Tree.

Adding to the earlier stolen fish and glass-like delicacies, all of Wu Tong's carefully collected delicacies had been swindled away by that despicable third senior brother. Wu Tong felt a surge of hatred, vowing to never forget...

"Daddy is the best!" Barbara exclaimed, pouting as she tugged at Peranos's robe.

……

Beneath his pale mask, Green stared in surprise as Cameron performed a standard courtesy toward him. It seemed to be a habitual courtesy of Ming wizards. Could it be that Ming wizards always performed a courtesy before "sparring"?

Moreover, the concept of "sparring" is practically nonexistent in the Dark Wizard faction; Dark Wizards only engage in combat.

Therefore, it took Green quite a while to understand what "sparring" meant after Peranos explained it to him.

Following Cameron's posture, Green stiffly and awkwardly performed a set of etiquette. Just as he was about to get up and rush forward to attack and quickly end this so-called sparring, Cameron suddenly shouted, "Then let's use thirty breaths to prepare first. This is relatively fair to you elemental wizards."

For a moment, Green almost thought he had misheard; there was still time to prepare?

Somewhat embarrassed, he withdrew his surging magic and let out a soft "hmm" under his mask, panting slightly.

It seems... the rules of the Ming Master faction are indeed very different from those of the Dark Wizard faction!

Roar!

After the "little bug" crawled out of Cameron's ear, it instantly transformed into a six-meter-long flying dragon monster with outstretched wings, its entire body covered in cold scales, and thick, pungent smoke billowing from its nostrils. Cameron jumped onto the dragon's back, slowly drawing his spear, a dense, corrosive purplish-gray aura emanating from it.

The dragon spread its wings and flapped them in the sky, its pair of cold eyes fixed on Grimm, and violent air currents swept out with its wings.

Cameron and the dragon beneath him seemed to be of one mind, both swooping down in the sky, as if they were just waiting for thirty breaths to prepare before launching a full-force attack on Green.

This... is probably what Ming wizards call "presence".

Ok?

On the other side, Green gazed thoughtfully at Cameron and the abyssal dragon beneath him, who seemed to have merged into one in an instant.

This is the most basic combat mode of the underground body-refining wizard, a perfect combination of wizard and dragon?

Green fell into a brief moment of recollection and thought: According to the records, underground body refiners are divided into several different types of body refiners depending on the direction and method of enhancing their strength. Among them, the three most famous are the Wild Instinct Body Refiner, the Physical Power Body Refiner, and the Elemental Surge Body Refiner.

The three different types of body-refining wizards follow different paths of understanding body-refining magic and cannot be combined with each other.

Wild instinct-based body-refining wizards focus on training and combat.

It is said to be a magical ability that can stimulate certain deep-seated instincts of life. Moreover, the higher the level of wild instincts stimulated, the more fully one can unleash certain instinctive combat modes unique to one's own life, and at the same time, achieve a deeper and more perfect utilization of one's own power.

When they are low-level wizards, the Wild Instinct Body Refining Wizards may be the weakest among the three body refining wizards, but when they reach the high-level wizard stage, they will become the most terrifying body refining wizards.

Because, as the level of wild instinct gradually increases, a wild instinct-trained body wizard may not only gradually develop more combat instincts, but also because the auxiliary bonuses to their own strength and vitality evolve perfectly according to their own proportions, and the bonuses will not decrease as their physical constitution increases.

The Body Tempering Wizard, a master of physical arts, emphasizes the wizard's perseverance.

It is said that in the Abyss Academy of the Underworld, wizards have discovered that as human physiques gradually strengthen, they will eventually possess the ability to influence the rules of the world, much like those powerful beings from other worlds. Based on this theory, an alternative form of witchcraft called Battle Witchcraft was born.

Generally speaking, this kind of witchcraft involves wizards imitating and calculating based on powerful creatures from other worlds, resulting in a wide variety of schools of thought.

As wizards persevere in practicing these combat spells, constantly honing their bodies and wills, they will gradually develop abilities similar to those of powerful creatures from another world, and may even master transformation abilities similar to bloodline spells, thus becoming incredibly powerful body-refining wizards.

and……

What's most remarkable is that some of the most powerful legendary knights in the wizarding world reached their peak through this path.

However, when practicing combat magic, the increase in physical strength is calculated on a cumulative basis. While this may be a significant advantage for lower-level wizards, higher-level wizards may experience a decline in physical strength due to the difficulty of mastering combat magic.

Finally, there is the elemental surge body-refining wizard, developed by traditional elemental wizards relying on their wisdom.

Even regional academies have some "half-finished" body-refining wizards. Once the time is right, they can go to the Dragon Hunting Abyss to hunt dragons and immediately transform into true elemental surge body-refining wizards.

For example, Gade, who was killed by Grin, the ethereal ice spirit Sene, and even the deceased Yocris, can all be considered, strictly speaking, as unfinished products of elemental surge body-refining wizards.

Of course, Green's words can also be categorized as such, but Green's development is more unconventional. Because few wizarding apprentices have elevated their physical constitution to such a terrifying level through their intelligence without mastering the elemental surge magic, which has exceeded the understanding of ordinary wizarding apprentices.

After Green acquired such a powerful physique, the low-level elemental surge magic he could usually access could no longer bring him any physical surge, and Green also lacked the corresponding elemental surge magic knowledge.

The Elemental Surge Body Tempering Wizard's ability to enhance their strength consists of two parts: improving basic physical constitution and mastering Elemental Surge magic.

Comparatively speaking, the elemental surge body refinement wizard, because it relies on the wisdom of wizards for development, has more possibilities, and the difference in the strength of wizards is also very large. Among the three body refinement wizards, it is the most unstable.

Of course, this is also one of the basic characteristics of elemental wizards: the instability of advancement and the significant gap in strength due to differences in knowledge.

Thirty breaths passed.

Cameron and the dragon beneath him roared in unison, swooping down towards Green from the sky with tremendous force.

He pulled out the Sound Tail Bone Dagger. Beneath his pale mask, Green remained remarkably calm. After a brief contortion, he appeared behind Cameron and thrust the dagger forward.

Ding!

In that critical moment, Cameron flipped his spear to block Green's Sonic Bone Dagger, staring at Green in horror. For a instant, Cameron felt a cold sweat break out on his back!

Half of the reason he was drenched in cold sweat was that Green's methods as an elemental wizard were far more varied than those of a body-refining wizard, and this spatial distortion and flickering was completely unexpected. The other reason was Green's killing intent as a dark wizard. Once in combat, a dark wizard doesn't care about the nature of a friendly spar; his only goal is to kill his opponent.

Feeling the force from the Sound Tail Bone Dagger, Green stepped back slightly, and a fire bat instantly formed at his fingertips, spreading its wings and swooping towards Cameron.

Roar!

Just then, the dragon beneath Cameron roared, its mouth spewing out a cloud of ash that engulfed the fire bats, followed by a massive tail covered in cold, icy scales that swept across.

The Flying Dragon Body Refining Wizard is extremely effective against the Undying Flame property, because the opponent can completely resist the damage from the Undying Flame by relying on the scaled dragon beneath them or their own strong resistance, without having to expend magic power to destroy it.

Maybe we can try this trick.

With an outstretched hand, his five fingers twisted irregularly, and a silent spatial fluctuation instantly blocked the sweeping dragon's giant tail. Green's body twisted again, dodging the dragon's two golden claws and Cameron's spear filled with corrosive energy, and he appeared in the sky at a higher altitude.

A golden pupil slowly opened on Green's forehead.

"Ah! This is..." Cameron exclaimed in surprise the moment he looked up and saw the golden pupils above Green's head, feeling his blood start to boil.

Roar!

Suddenly, a thick plume of pungent sulfurous smoke billowed from the nostrils of the dragon beneath Cameron, obscuring the view of Grimm's golden pupils. Immediately afterward, an arrow filled with corrosive energy shot out from within the smoke.

Ok?

Having dodged the corrosive arrows, Grimm stopped the spell he was about to cast. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him. With a casual gesture, a large amount of water element covered his body, and he swaggered into the acrid, thick smoke.

A moment later, Cameron cried out in pain from within the smoke, shouting, "I surrender!"

"Daddy, sob sob..." Barbara cried out from the ground, pouting.

Peranos looked at Wutong and laughed, "How about my disciple? This must be the first time he's ever seen a real underground dragon, right? He was even able to use the properties of the Boundless Eye to connect the dots and use his body temperature to launch a sneak attack."

(The Boundless Eye is a modified version of the Phosphorous Serpent Eye from the Endless Eye. It observes the world by observing the temperature difference caused by radiation from hot and cold elements. Water, earth, and dark elements can effectively suppress it, but ice elements, whose temperature is lower than the surrounding temperature, cannot be suppressed unless there is a large-scale change in the environment. In icy plains, scorching deserts, or similar places, the Boundless Eye is "blind.")

Wu Tong gritted his teeth, huffing and puffing, and said coldly, "The Seven-Flavor Fruit Tree is yours!"

The sound was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Haha, then I, as the senior brother, won't stand on ceremony!" Peranos laughed, adding, "Junior brother, I think we can have this kind of bet repeated a few more times. You can definitely win all of these back, right? Don't you still have that lotus vine, snow fungus..."
