Wizard's Journey

Chapter 548 Return to the Seventh Ring

one year later.

After a year, Green finally crossed the wilderness between the Sixth Ring Holy Tower and the Holy Tower, and then traversed half of the Seventh Ring Holy Tower's territory before returning to the Seventh Ring Holy Tower's 10,000-meter Tree of Life defensive shield.

By drawing upon the primal will of the wizarding world, Grimm, riding the Thousand-Eyed Crab, created a small ripple on the vast Tree of Life's defensive shield and successfully penetrated its interior.

The enormous shadow of the Thousand-Eyed Crab fell to the ground, becoming one of the many massive mechanical airships and slave beasts in the sky, carrying Grimm on his way to Grimm's Demon Hunter Castle.

Over the course of a year, Green finally mastered the principles and knowledge of "Male Poison Body Refinement," an improvement on the "Mixed Poison Body Refinement" technique by his master, Netherworld Heart, while riding on the back of the Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab.

The core knowledge of the Netherworld Heart lineage's "Mixed Poison Body Refinement" revolves around a miniature parasitic organism called Lymph.

After being guided by a wizard, this parasitic organism will gradually form a symbiotic relationship with the wizard's cells, and then form a protective membrane outside the cells. The principle of the mixed poison body refinement knowledge is to constantly stimulate this protective membrane to evolve.

Green used the companion insect "Batfly" to influence the life code and accelerate the passive adaptation characteristics of organisms, allowing the body's cells and lymph to evolve in a dual way, thus producing a double effect. This is the remarkable achievement Green made in body tempering during his apprenticeship as a wizard, and one of the reasons why he became the top wizard apprentice in the Holy Tower Qualification Battle.

Now, with the improvements to "Male Poison Body Refinement," although the core knowledge is still lymph, the evolutionary method has undergone a significant change.

According to the knowledge research of "Male Poison Body Refinement", lymphatic organisms, as parasites, do not reproduce by fission, but also reproduce by sexual reproduction, and are divided into male and female.

Here comes the crucial point.

If one submits to the instincts of the lymphatic system, then the wizard is practicing "female poison body tempering"!

In other words, the lymphatic system is a female-centric mode of survival and reproduction. This mode of survival and reproduction, due to its stability, was developed by ancient shamans, who then invented this body-refining knowledge and mystery.

However, as the Ancestor of the Netherworld Heart delved deeper into the research, he became dissatisfied with this stable mode of evolution.

Because the Netherworld Heart Ancestor discovered that while this kind of stable evolution stabilized the social relationship structure of the lymph itself, it indirectly weakened the evolution speed of the wizard!

A human whose abdominal muscles have the same strength as the muscles in his arms is obviously not as strong as a human who strengthens some of his arm muscles and weakens his abdominal muscles.

The training of human knights is precisely this kind of self-training.

According to the calculations and research of the Netherworld Heart Ancestor, the most reasonable evolutionary method should be to adopt the body's internal autonomous choice evolution method, allowing the body to instinctively adapt and make choices, rather than an average evolutionary method.

Only in this way can we unleash greater combat power.

Based on this idea, Master Youming Zhixin created "Male Poison Body Refinement".

The evolutionary approach of the Male Poison Body Refinement is to break the stable population system centered on female lymph nodes in "Mixed Poison Body Refinement" and adopt a competitive evolutionary system with male lymph nodes as the main body.

In this way, the wizard will be able to fully utilize the different evolutionary rhythms of various parts of the body, allowing the same investment of body-refining knowledge to yield a higher return!

After understanding the knowledge and theory of "Male Poison Body Refinement", it must be said that the exploration and research on lymph by the Netherworld Heart Ancestor has far surpassed Green's. Green had never even thought of such a profound knowledge structure.

However, Green let out a sigh.

Although the "Male Poison Body Refinement" technique is powerful, it cannot be used on me in the short term.

Because of his past forced growth through the practice of mixing poison to refine his body, his physical development has far exceeded his own knowledge of poison refining. To make up for it, he would need to dedicate at least a hundred years to wholehearted research.

At that moment, he clearly did not have that time.

The research on the power of annihilation must be carried out with all our might; we cannot back down!

At this moment, Green was like a gambler who had bet everything he had, unable to afford to lose, and could only move forward relentlessly!

The Ram's Horned Skull Magic Staff lost the support of the Black Sota's magic source, causing the ability to reduce the magic power consumption of spells below 7,000 degrees to disappear by 50%, and even the base attack power increase of 300 degrees has now dropped to 200 degrees.

As a result, Green's combat power has decreased significantly compared to before.

However, compared to other abilities, due to the Nightmare Wizard's immortality and the unique ability that "the more wizards nearby, the faster the mental stimulation of meditation," the second Nightmare Wizard's ability is similar to the Elemental Wizard's instinct to control the forces of nature, giving Grimm a significant boost in his survival ability.

Now, we must devote all our energy to making the most of every minute to conduct the annihilation power experiment!

"Huh!? Okay, okay, I'm going right now, wait for me."

In the crystal ball floating in front of Hachi, the image of the parrot Ye Ye appeared. Ye Ye had one wing on her hip and the other wing pointing at Hachi, saying something.

After quickly putting the crystal ball away, Xiao Ba looked at Green, who had turned his head to the side, pretending not to have seen what had just happened.

"Um... quack quack quack, young master, that damn parrot Ye Ye just insisted I come over to play with her. She was begging so much she almost knelt down and cried. She even threatened to do something drastic if I didn't go. Young master, look at her! Sigh... As the great Steel Emblem Myna, I'm not a cruel creature by nature, so I'll give her face. Otherwise, if she really does do something drastic, Lu Lianman might blame you, young master."

Even though Green already knew this guy's nature, hearing Hachi say these words made him want to slap it to death.

This guy...

Hopefully, that parrot Ye Ye will never know what Xiao Ba is saying now, and hopefully, the Steel Emblem Myna won't become extinct because of this.

"Okay, I understand. Oh, and take this with you. Tell them it's a small token of my appreciation, and invite Ye Ye and Wizard Lu Lianman over to visit sometime."

Green actually threw out a precious ice top.

This ice spinning top was formed by the Snowworm King gathering the life force of tens of thousands of locust people. Grimm himself only had eleven and a half pieces, and one piece was used up when cultivating the Abyss Soul Fusion Tree.

"Huh? Oh, oh, oh, I see!"

After a moment of surprise, Xiao Ba threw the ice top into the dimensional gap and it flew away into the distance.

After the Half Hourglass Incident.

Directing the Thousand-Eyed Crab to slowly land on the wide lawn in front of the Demon Hunter Castle, Grimm said, "You don't have a wizard's soul mark on you. I'll brand a magical mark onto you later."

"Understood, Lord Green."

Even though the lawn in front of the Green Demon Hunter Castle was quite spacious, it was still a bit small for the Thousand-Eyed Crab's enormous body, and it dared not move around recklessly.

"Hmm, judging from your appearance, it will take you several hundred years to grow new crab claws. In the meantime, just rest here and recuperate. Here are some magic stones. If you need any food, go to the Tree of Life trading market."

Green took out some top-grade magic stones and placed them in the eye space of the Thousand-Eyed Crab.

the other side.

"Green, you're really alright, that's great!"

Millie emerged from the Demon Hunter Castle, speaking to Grin who had just descended from the Thousand-Eyed Crab. Her silver-white hair fluttered in the wind, and she held an ice crystal staff radiating astonishing energy in her hand.

Millie.

Green greeted her and slowly walked towards Millie, looking into her clear, icy eyes.

"Green, you've attempted to advance to level two wizard?"

Millie noticed the wrinkles at the corners of Green's eyes beneath his face of truth and asked tentatively.

"Um."

Green nodded and said, "I originally planned to advance using the ice elemental tank, but I failed."

Millie sighed, "Compared to you, I don't even have the confidence to try to advance. Mina, on the other hand, will be participating in the Guardian Selection in a hundred years. If she succeeds, do you know what that means?"

After a moment of surprise, Green nodded silently. He certainly understood what the World Guardian meant.

From a devotee to a guardian, the minimum strength of a world guardian is equivalent to a level three creature!

Just as Millie had said hundreds of years ago, Mina had already far surpassed both herself and Millie.

…………

Ten days later.

Having received the witch spirit reward from the expedition to the Flame Soul World, and after browsing the Purple Gold Fragrance family's shops and underground trading plaza, Grimm returned once again.

The experiment on the power of annihilation: Grimm had already completed the basic material part of the experiment before the last Demon Hunting Expedition.

At this point, Green planned to begin experimenting with the basic energy components, including some strange energies collected from the Flame Soul World, basic energies from wizarding knowledge, and unrecorded strange energies he possessed.

Including... the mysterious power, the source of darkness!

However, it will take some time for the Zijingxiang family to collect these basic energy crystals, and Green can use this time to do other things.

For example, refining advanced potions centered around ice spinning tops.

The Ice Spinning Top combines immense life energy, ice power, and soul power, giving Grimm two different approaches to potion making.

One is to create advanced medicines that temporarily increase physical strength, and the other is to create medicines with high repair and regeneration capabilities.

High-repair potions are relatively simple to make. Green successfully made one three days ago and used it on the Thousand-Eyed Crab's regenerating claws.

And advanced medicines that temporarily increase physical strength...

At this point, Green used the amber he obtained from the Leyline Spirits and, after trading other ingredients in the Sixth and Seventh Ring Towers, finally completed the first experimental product.

I just don't know how effective it will be.

After about five hourglasses, Green, who was carefully observing the reaction of his cells under the microscope, finally determined the efficacy of the "Snowline Essence" potion and smiled with satisfaction.

Essence of the Snowline: Temporarily increases Constitution by 100 points within one hourglass, then gradually decreases to -100 points over the next three hourglasses. Ice-attribute attack power is slightly increased, and Soul Fire is solidified to a certain extent.

Before setting off for the Flame Soul World, Green already possessed a physique of over 500 and a maximum strength of over 1,000, which is the minimum standard for a level two body-refining wizard in terms of data.

Over the years, although Green did not engage in continuous body training or achieve any special body training results, he still slowly increased his physique by more than ten points.

The temporary increase of 100 points in constitution is equivalent to temporarily enhancing Green's basic body refinement attributes by one-fifth!

This boost to combat power is far more than just a one-fifth increase.

After crafting several bottles of Snowline Essence potions, Grimm checked the time and murmured, "There's still some time, so I'll try to refine a high-purity Hellclaw!"

As he spoke, Green produced cat's eye stone, seeds of the requiem herb, saliva of the tear lizard, and five hundred samples of blood from different creatures...

In the world of Flame Soul, with the guidance and help of Xiao Ba, Green used a hundred portions of Filthy Eye Blood to forge the Claw of Hell, barely managing to pull a Level 3 Locustman into the semi-real, semi-illusory space of the Azure Rock Giant Mountain.

At this moment, Green plans to forge a Hellclaw with five hundred portions of Filthy Eye Blood!

Several days later, Green watched as the cat's eye stone gradually transformed into a miniature blood-red eye and smiled with satisfaction.
