The azure sea, with waves upon waves.

Near the flight path around the Gray-White Tower, a wooden boat is slowly moving forward.

On the wooden boat, Green Ghost Carter was accompanied by several Wizard Apprentice.

"Keep a close eye on him, everyone. It's been three months. I don't believe that kid will leave the tower."

Green Ghost Carter, under orders from Demon Man Harant, was lying in wait for that damned Legendary Knight on the route near the Gray-White Tower.

It's been three months, a full three months.

He has been staking out the possible flight path of this Gray-White Tower for so long.

There was no sign of the Legendary Knight.

I did see other apprentices from the Gray-White Tower leave a few times.

If it were any other time, following Green Ghost Carter's usual habits...

He had already taken action against the apprentices of these enemy forces.

However, in order not to alert the enemy, he held back.

"Damn you little brat, I don't believe you can stay indoors for a year. If you can't stay indoors for a year, then I'll wait two years. If you can't stay indoors for two years, then I'll wait three years. Anyway, I have plenty of time."

The people of the Ship of the Undead have become accustomed to cultivating on board.

So Green Ghost Carter wasn't worried about this interfering with his training, since his apprentices usually kept an eye on him anyway.

And so, on the flight path near the Gray-White Tower.

Green Ghost Carter waited another three months.

He still hadn't met the person he was looking for.

"Mr. Carter, should we keep waiting?"

An apprentice asked cautiously.

"Wait, why not wait? I won't be happy until I kill that little brat. It caused me to be severely punished by the captain, and it's all his fault."

Time passed day by day.

The year 1018 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Origin.

The Mortal World has welcomed another New Year.

Throughout the year, the Blue Frost Disaster Blue Frost Disaster still occasionally broke out in small-scale outbreaks within the Northern Territory, but it seemed to have weakened considerably compared to when it first appeared.

This put the Emerald Kingdom at ease. If the outbreak only occurred in the Northern Territory, the Royal Family and other nobles in the South could rest easy.

Meanwhile, a major piece of news also came from the neighboring Eternal Night Kingdom.

That was the Ice Queen, the Great Knight who broke through the Legendary Realm.

This surprised many people, because although the Ice Queen is Peak Great Knight, she should still be quite far from being Legendary Knight.

Even a dazzling Legendary Realm like the White Horse Knight couldn't break through to the legendary level.

The Eternal Night Queen has actually broken through; it's truly unbelievable.

In the Flower City where spring lasts all year round.

Old man Anderson came to play chess with Andrew again.

The old man, who now lives in the Flower City, has, in his long life, devoted himself to studying the way of Knight, and his few hobbies include playing chess.

"The Ice Queen has broken through to the Legendary Realm! It's unbelievable. It seems the Ice and Snow Church intends to support the Ice Queen; otherwise, she could never have become Legendary Realm." Anderson said.

"Everyone says the Ice Queen is the Daughter of God, so it's normal for her to become Legendary Realm," Andrew said while playing chess.

"It's been a year already, and there's still no news from that kid Levi. Has he broken through to the Legendary Realm yet?" Anderson muttered.

"Breaking through to the Legendary Realm shouldn't be that easy. Even my master would need some time. Elder, do you have a way to contact my master? I have some things to give him."

Andrew said.

Over the past year, he has collected several Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram for Levi.

One of them even contains a body-based Breathing Technique of perfect quality.

It's called "Phoenix Breathing Technique".

It is said that after mastering this technique, one's physique will be as powerful as the legendary Phoenix, immune to all poisons, unaffected by water or fire, and even able to... be reborn from the ashes.

Of course, these are all exaggerations, but it is true that this Breathing Technique can give people a strong self-healing ability.

Andrew also went to great lengths to obtain this Breathing Technique.

"I can't get in touch with him either. I don't even know which organization he went to. How can I contact him? Let's wait for him to contact us. Hopefully, that kid hasn't died in there. The Wizard World may have order, but it's also very dangerous," Anderson said.

The Endless Sea.

Gray-White Tower.

Levi has been in the Gray-White Tower for a year now.

Some time ago, Teacher Mai Lin recovered from her injuries, and now it is said that she is going to try to break through to the Second-Ring Wizard.

If she succeeds, the Gray-White Tower will have two Second-Ring Wizard in charge, which would undoubtedly be a good thing for Levi.

It takes some time from preparation to a breakthrough, and very few people know about it.

This is to prevent the people of the Ship of the Undead from planting a traitor within the Gray-White Tower, who could then sabotage the breakthrough at a crucial moment.

Levi knew it was because Teacher Mai Lin told him, and it was clear that Teacher Mai Lin trusted Levi a lot.

The Ninth Layer of the Gray Tower.

Levi awoke from his meditative state, and his overall condition was much better than it had been six months ago.

The period of weakness caused by burning the Red Lotus Blood has long passed.

Over the past six months, whether it was his Knight training or his wizarding training, Levi has made great progress.

In terms of Knight, Levi Wei successfully mastered a Breathing Technique to its limit.

Levi ——————

Ostrich Mountain Breathing Technique: Ninth Rank (Limit, Limit Can Be Broken), Special Effect: Ostrich Foot (Gaseous State).

"Ostrich Foot: Black Qi gathers in the legs, forming gaseous Ostrich Foot, which specially strengthens the leg strength, and the force of a kick can shake mountains and split the earth."

At the heart, the Ostrich Mountain Bird species stood tall and proud, its long legs strong and agile, Black Qi surging out and all of it flowing into Levi's legs.

Like the fine scales on chicken feet appearing on his legs, Levi's legs seemed to become longer and more powerful, and the Black Qi around his feet condensed and transformed into a pair of ostrich-like two-toed claws.

Levi stared at himself in the mirror with a strange expression.

He then revealed all his Black Scale and Blood Wing.

"Black Scale, Little Black feet, bat wings, what the hell kind of monster is this?" Levi was speechless.

He kicked out, and the air exploded with a loud bang.

If that kick had landed squarely on the Great Knight Great Knight, he would have been crushed to pieces.

The Ostrich Foot effect is an advancement of the Extraordinary Strength of the previous Ostrich Mountain Breathing Technique.

"Giant Breathing Technique strengthens the arms, while Ostrich Mountain Breathing Technique strengthens the legs. Even though they are both power-type Breathing Technique, they actually strengthen in different directions. I wonder what the Red Lotus Breathing Technique strengthens?" Levi was somewhat expectant.

As a perfect-quality Breathing Technique, the Red Lotus Breathing Technique has the slowest cultivation speed of all Breathing Technique. Fortunately, when Levi entered the Wizard World, he prepared a lot of Secret Medicine, so he doesn't need to worry about the Secret Medicine for the time being.

Now that the Red Lotus Breathing Technique is almost at the Ninth Rank, Levi estimates it won't take more than a few months.

Then we'll see what surprises the Red Lotus Breathing Technique will bring.

So far, among Levi Weixing's main Breathing Technique, only the Red Lotus Breathing Technique and the Blood Beast Breathing Technique, which has just broken through its limit and is currently striving for the Tenth Rank, have not yet reached their limits.

"Breaking the limits of the Black Snake Breathing Technique is also on the agenda. I'll be out of seclusion in the next few days, and I need to find a way to get some defensive Breathing Technique. The Wizard World has existed for so long, there must be some Knight who brought their Breathing Technique here. I wonder if the Black Sail Wizard Market sells any."

Levi thought to himself.

After experiencing the last undeserved disaster.

Before becoming Formal Wizard, Levi no longer wanted to leave the Gray-White Tower.

The outside world is too dangerous; it's better to stay in the tower.

Given Levi's current strength and status, he felt he could delegate this task to others within the tower. There was no need to take risks himself for anything that could be done with money.

As for why he collects so many Breathing Technique, he simply says he is Breathing Technique Collector, which explains it well.

Aside from practicing Breathing Technique, Levi has also been studying the Golden Cross Slash during this time. He feels that he has gained some understanding of the Golden Rotation, but he is still some distance away from truly comprehending the legendary supreme Golden Rotation.

After gathering more information, Levi is now basically certain that the Golden Cross Slash is indeed the signature move of the Golden Knight Gerrick.

He couldn't help but feel immense respect for this Legendary Knight.

Every Legendary Knight has his own unique strengths.

Blood Knight Brad's strong will and his principles of justice.

Golden Knight Gerrick's swordsmanship talent and Golden Blood.

Lionheart Knight Rhine, Hundred Flower Knight Elena, Black Knight Blake, Nameless Knight, Snowflake Knight Freier —although Levi had never met these people, they all deserved respect for creating Legendary Realm with mortal bodies.

If given the chance, Levi would like to trace the footsteps of these Legendary Knight.

If possible, learn their powerful Breathing Technique and their combat skills.

Perhaps this will help Levi break through the Legendary Realm and pave the way for the Knight.

Only by standing on the shoulders of giants can we go further on any path.

Humanity's greatest wisdom lies in collective wisdom, which is why wizards established the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council, a cooperative body that ended the chaotic and disorderly state of early wizards. From then on, the development of wizarding theoretical knowledge accelerated.

After half a year of practice.

Levi's proficiency with the Black Demon Blade has also increased significantly.

However, it's still a long way from breaking through to the Fourth Order.

After reaching the Third Order, the Black Demon Blade's training speed slowed down significantly.

Levi guessed that to reach the Fourth Order, one would need the mental strength of High-Grade Wizard Apprentice.

This Black Qi Method is a method that unifies physical and spiritual power.

It's all about balance. Levi's Knight has reached its peak, only lacking the Legendary Realm. In terms of physical cultivation, he can already be called a true grandmaster.

However, in terms of spiritual cultivation, he is still only a Intermediate Wizard Apprentice, a complete novice.

Therefore, we can only proceed step by step, gradually.

The final wizard-related training was the part that Levi had spent the most time on over the past six months.

Li Wei's Deep Sea Meditation Technique is still at the Second Order, but his proficiency has increased. Without auxiliary potions, Levi estimates that it will take about four to five years to reach the Third Order.

In addition to the Deep Sea Meditation Technique, Levi has also mastered the second Wizard Meditation Technique.

Levi ——————

Night Raven Meditation Technique: First Order (420/1000)

It may be because Levi had already learned the Deep Sea Meditation Technique.

It is also possible that the Night Raven Meditation Technique is New Schools of Meditation Technique.

Therefore, Levi improved his proficiency in the Night Raven Meditation Technique significantly in just six months.

This speed is nearly three times that of Deep Sea Meditation Technique.

Levi felt that Meditation Technique might be similar to Breathing Technique. The more Meditation Technique he learned, the higher his experience and level of understanding would be, and the faster he could learn new Meditation Technique.

Levi's mental strength has now increased to 6 points.

The Art Power is also 60 points.

Levi now has plenty of points, and he's maxed out all the potions that increase his Art Power limit.

The mental strength range of Intermediate Wizard Apprentice is 5 to 10 points.

If you score above 10, you're considered High-Grade Wizard Apprentice.

The mental strength range of High-Grade Wizard Apprentice is 11 to 20 points.

Therefore, Levi is still a long way from becoming Formal Wizard.

After mastering the Night Raven Meditation Technique, Levi completed the spell structure for the Death School's Wither Ray.

The Wither Ray spell requires something called the "Gray Snake Eye".

These Casting Material are not sold in White Sail Alley.

This is because these are the Casting Material used only by the Death School magic.

This made Levi realize just how difficult it was to learn magic from a different school of thought.

This is why wizards are divided into schools and gather together.

Finding Casting Material for the Death School within the territory of the Oceanic School is a challenge in itself.

Of course, you can still find it in the Azure Realm.

However, it's not that easy.

Levi estimated that the Black Sail Wizard Market should have it.

Fortunately, there were some Casting Material the Wither Ray in the Storage Bag of those Wizard Apprentice, enough for Levi Wei to reach the Second Order.

Therefore, after mastering the Wither Ray to the Second Order, Levi had to temporarily suspend his training of this spell.

He then turned to practicing Water Arrow Technique and Tidal Grip.

Of these two spells, Water Arrow Technique requires no Casting Material and is simpler, even less difficult than Levi's first spell, Insect Control Art, which only has thirty nodes.

So Levi quickly set up the spell structure and has now leveled Water Arrow Technique to Second Order.

As for Tidal Grip, it requires a type of underwater Casting Material called "Coral Insect Stone," which is available for purchase in White Sail Alley and is not expensive.

However, this trick is quite difficult, and Levi is currently only at the First Order level.

The Insect Control Art and Dew of the Flower Fairy are the two tricks that reach their limit after grinding to Fourth Order.

After these two tricks reached their limits, no special effects were created.

With his Fourth-Order Limit Insect Control Art, Levi could control a thousand Holy Armor Scorpion.

However, the number of Holy Armor Scorpion in his Insect House has only reached a little over three hundred after years of natural breeding.

The breeding cycle of the Holy Armor Scorpion is too long, and some damned adult scorpions will even eat their own larvae. After studying the Holy Insect Control Method, Levi learned that the larvae need to be fed separately.

However, Levi only had one Insect House, so he temporarily raised the larvae in a small house on the Ninth Layer, and usually bought some sea beast meat in White Tower Town to feed them.

Although the teachings say that the Holy Armor Scorpion evolves faster by eating people, Levi would never become a true demon and go on a killing spree just for that.

In the Wizard World, I wouldn't survive more than a month like that.

Therefore, he chooses to feed them marine mammal meat, which is nutritious and quite good.

In general, without systematic guidance from the Insect School, Levi faced numerous difficulties in his pursuit of insect control and had to constantly explore on his own.

The Fourth-Order Limit of Dew of the Flower Fairy only results in a larger area being watered at once, and the dew contains more nutrients. Other than that, there is no qualitative change.

This is just a magic trick after all; it's already quite good that it has this effect.

Levi is still in charge of taking care of the Little Garden.

Apart from him, none of the other Wizard Apprentice in the Gray-White Tower had Levi's ability to take good care of those precious herbs.

The reason Levi is not giving up on the Little Garden mission is to repay Teacher Mai Lin's kindness. These herbs are Teacher Mai Lin's hard work, and many of them are raw materials for precious First Ring potions, so he can't give them up.

Moreover, after reaching the Fourth Order of the Dew of the Flower Fairy, Levi wouldn't need to spend much time in the Little Garden.

For the past six months, he has stayed at home, never left the island, and has not gone out to sell medicine to make money.

After all, the 500 points awarded by the tower master alone would be enough for Levi to live on for a long time.

Life is unpredictable.

Just a moment ago, Levi was worrying about points and had come up with a whole bunch of money-making plans.

However, the next moment, Levi became a rich man.

Of course, the policy of making money through Potion Making will not waver.

Such a stroke of luck as receiving 500 points out of nowhere is purely accidental.

The consumption will only increase in the future.

Therefore, Levi's Potion Making is still ongoing.

It is expected that Potion Making will reach Sixth Order by the end of the year.

That's the level of a senior, advanced Potion Making professional.

The success rate for crafting common potions like Blue Potion and Red Potion is generally around 80% to 90%.

Once you become a fully qualified First-Ring Potion Maker, these apprentice-level potions will almost always be 100% successful.

Levi didn't have many classes during this period, so he had plenty of time to cultivate.

Teacher Mai Lin is currently in seclusion, and the advanced general education courses are temporarily suspended. Levi has already mastered all the basic general education courses, and he has basically graduated with full marks.

He had long since mastered the Wizard Common Tongue, and with this language, he could communicate freely with other wizards in all the Land of the Faithless.

As far as Levi knew, due to the influence of some powerful wizards who were exploring other planes, the Wizard Common Tongue had begun to spread in some parts of the multiverse.

This wave can be described as cultural invasion preceding military action.

During this time, Levi will also attend spellcasting and meditation classes.

After all, he has always practiced his own methods, so it's inevitable that he will make some mistakes and fall behind the times.

By now, Levi had essentially mastered all the theoretical knowledge of magic and meditation from the apprentice stage.

He won't need to attend basic classes anymore.

Use the time you save to cultivate yourself.

Moreover, given his relationship with Teacher Mai Lin.

If you have any difficult questions, you can consult Teacher Mai Lin.

One-on-one instruction is more efficient.

Among the Four Great Seals that Levi obtained in his early years.

The Hell Seal has already reached its limit, but there are no suitable Living Dead for Levi to command.

Inside the Gray Tower, it's not convenient for Levi to use the Living Dead, so this Rune Seal is temporarily useless.

Levi also leveled up the Flame Stream Seal to Fourth Order.

The flames evolved into Purple Flame, the temperature rose higher and higher, and the range of the flame jets reached seven meters.

The current Flame Stream Seal is already as powerful as the Combustion Faction's Tricks mastered by High-Grade Wizard Apprentice. Once it advances to the Fifth Order, it is estimated that it will not be much weaker than the First Ring Burning Hands. At that time, it will be equivalent to Levi mastering First-Circle Spell ahead of time.

As for the Dragon Might Seal, it's the limit once you reach Third Order.

The Third Order Dragon Might's Might deals even more damage to Evil Spirit, but unfortunately no Evil Spirit dares to appear in the Gray-White Tower, so Levi has no way to test it out.

However, the mental impact is a side effect of just the Third Order Dragon Might.

That should be enough to give the enemy a hard time.

In addition, the Third Order Dragon Might also creates a special effect called [Dragon Affinity].

This special effect increases Levi's affinity with Dragonkind and any creature with Dragonkind bloodlines, including purebloods, Dragon Spawn, hybrids, and so on.

In short, the biggest effect of this special effect so far is that Levi can now touch the head of the White Serpent Jormungandr, Dragonkind hybrid.

This made Levi wonder if Winnie was able to touch the White Snake's head because she also had the talent of Dragon Affinity? The final Guardian Seal is currently only at the Second Order.

This is also a skill that Levi plans to focus on improving after this retreat.

Once you've Rune Seal to Third Order, you'll reach your limit.

Levi was really looking forward to the special effects of the Third Order Guardian Seal.

Based on current patterns, Levi guesses that this special effect is most likely also a friendly type of effect.

The Hell Seal grants affinity with creatures of Hell, while the Dragon Might Seal's Might grants Dragon Affinity.

The Guardian Seal is unknown, but it is most likely related to the Earth Faction.

In short, what Levi values more is the passive effect of the Rune Seal's creation, which can still be useful in the late game. The Rune Seal itself will definitely become obsolete as Levi's strength increases.

After leaving the nine-story Gray Tower, he got up and went to White Sail Alley.

Some time ago, Levi asked the owner of the building materials store in the alley to purchase a large piece of Radiant Stone from the Black Sail Wizard Market.

Radiant Stone is relatively rare in the Mortal World, but it is relatively abundant in the Wizard World.

However, these are basic Casting Material for the Earth Faction, so they are relatively difficult to find even in the Azure Realm.

Levi currently enjoys considerable influence, coupled with his financial power.

After giving the shop owner a tip of a few Great Stone.

The boss used his connections to get one from the Black Sail Wizard Market.

Levi went to pick up the goods today.

We arrived at the small materials shop.

The boss is a fat man named Manla.

He was also Wizard Apprentice, and quite talented, possessing affinity for all three elements.

He was once a prominent figure in the Gray-White Tower, and the tower master had high hopes for him, believing that he had the potential to become Formal Wizard.

However, due to a battle with an apprentice from the Ship of the Undead when he was young, his mental strength was severely damaged, making it impossible for him to advance to Formal Wizard. So he simply stepped down to the sidelines and helped manage the small shop in the tower to earn some points.

"Hey, look who's here! Our Legendary Knight, the great hero Levi!"

The boss said jokingly.

Levi smiled slightly, and then asked, "Has the Radiant Stone arrived?"

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "This thing is hard to find in the Azure Realm. I asked my friend at the Black Sail Wizard Market to look for it for a long time."

Then he took out a large piece of Radiant Stone. Levi looked at it and realized that this amount was enough for him to grind the Guardian Seal to its limit.

"How much?"

"20 Great Stone".

Radiant Stone is just a basic Casting Material, so it's not very expensive.

However, non- Oceanic School items like Radiant Stone cannot be purchased with points.

Levi readily paid the price.

Then he said, "Boss, could you keep an eye out for any Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram at the nearby wizard market? I like collecting Breathing Technique Breathing Technique, and I'm open to all types. I'll pay with Gold Coins, and if the quality is high enough, I can pay with Great Stone."

"No problem. Just for daring to kill the wizard of the Ship of the Undead, I, Manla, admire you," the shopkeeper laughed.

His promising future was ruined by the Ship of the Undead.

Therefore, he harbored immense hatred for the Ship of the Undead.

Unfortunately, his own strength was only average, and he was unable to retaliate against the Ship of the Undead.

Levi thanked his boss and then left with the Radiant Stone.

Thus, of the Four Great Seals, only the Flame Stream Seal remains.

The other three Rune Seal will soon be at their full potential.

Over the next month, Levi will focus on improving his proficiency with the Guardian Seal.

He quickly pushed the Guardian Seal to its limit.

Levi ————

Guardian Seal: Third Order (Limit), Special Effect: Earth Pulse.

"Earth Pulse: You can feel the pulse of the earth, your affinity for earth elements increases, and the speed of practicing Earth Faction Meditation Technique and spells is significantly increased."

Levi looked at the special effects.

Sure enough, it's related to the earth element.

Without a doubt, the remaining Flame Stream Seal's effect should be a fire-type affinity.

"Although I am Child of Chaos, I have the special effect of Earth Affinity. Even without Proficiency Panel, my speed of cultivating the Earth Faction is definitely much faster than that of Child of Chaos. In addition, with my Proficiency Panel, my actual talent now might not be worse than dual-elemental affinity. I have to learn it in the future and not waste this affinity talent."

Levi had a sudden thought.

A pale golden light enveloped him, protecting Levi like a golden bell.

According to Levi's tests, the shield's defensive power is stronger than that of a high-level apprentice level spell, but it's unknown how it compares to the original First-Circle Spell "Shield Spell".

Shield Spell is the most classic defensive spell of the Earth School. It can form a Protective Force Field composed of earth elements to protect the caster.

Many defensive spells from later factions bear the resemblance to Shield Spell spells in their structure.

"Third Order Guardian Seal, Tenth Order Black Serpent's Liquid Black Scale, Frost Giant Armor —my defense is even more monstrous. I feel that unless it's Formal Wizard, High-Grade Wizard Apprentice simply can't break through my defense," Levi analyzed in his mind.

"Next, only Flame Stream remains. Once the Flame Stream Seal reaches its limit, my overall strength should be comparable to that of Formal Wizard."

Even First-Circle Wizard who masters four First-Circle Spell is considered a senior wizard.

Even so, Levi has no intention of leaving the island.

He loved these peaceful and tranquil days for spiritual practice.

He had no desire for the outside world.

However, Levi's refusal to leave the island greatly worried Green Ghost Carter, who was lying in ambush in the nearby waters to attack Levi.

On the ship, Green Ghost Carter's face was grim.

He has been waiting for more than half a year.

God knows how he got through it.

"That damn brat, isn't he going to go out?"

"Damn it, that damn brat. If all else fails, I'll have to use my last trump card."

Green Ghost Carter then returned to the cabin.

The Ship of the Undead has planted a spy in the Gray-White Tower. He plans to use this spy to lure Levi out and then kill him.

On this day, Levi was practicing his Water Arrow Technique in the woods as usual.

Water Arrow Technique may seem ordinary, but it has many advantages such as fast casting speed, low mana consumption, and no need for Casting Material.

[Water Arrow Technique Proficiency +2] Levi gripped the Viper Wand again and completed another spellcasting.

A huge rock that he used to practice his Water Arrow Technique every day.

It had already been pierced through and is now shaped like a honeycomb briquette.

After practicing his Water Arrow Technique, Levi went to the Little Garden to water the plants.

Then we returned to the nine-story Gray Tower.

At the entrance, a Wizard Apprentice stood there, looking somewhat hesitant. When he saw Levi, he smiled and said softly, "Junior Brother Levi, you're back."

"Senior Brother Noz, is there something you need?"

Levi knew this senior brother; he lived on the twentieth floor or above.

He was also the senior who went out with Winnie to visit Whale Song Lonely Island.

He seems to be quite close to Winnie.

He seems to be pursuing Winnie, but Winnie hasn't agreed to be his girlfriend; she's only agreed to be friends.

He then continued to be friends with Winnie.

He's quite the old sycophant.

Anyway, if it were Levi, he probably wouldn't date Winnie.

"It's like this, Junior Brother Levi, I have something I need your help with. I'm not asking you to help for nothing; I'll give you a great reward after it's done."

"Brother Noz said, his tone serious."

Levi's expression remained unchanged. He calmly asked, "What is it? If it's within my power, I can help you, senior brother. We're fellow disciples, it's only right."

Senior Brother Noz thought for a moment and said, "Junior Brother, I was recently caught in a storm and stranded on a deserted island. I discovered the ruins of a Formal Wizard's residence. I suspect that the island was once an ancient wizarding organization, but unfortunately, the entrance to the ruins is protected by a magical barrier. My strength is too low to break it; at least First-Circle Wizard would be needed to break the seal. I remember that you are Legendary Knight, and your strength is comparable to First-Circle Wizard, so I'd like to invite you to explore the wizarding ruins with me. We'll split whatever's inside." Noz said softly.

"Is that area of the sea safe?" Levi asked.

"Although it's not in safe waters, there are no dangerous sea monsters in that area, so there's no real danger. With my level High-Grade Wizard Apprentice, plus your strength as Legendary Knight, there shouldn't be any problem," Noz said.

Levi nodded, and then decisively said, "Senior brother, I won't go. I've been busy practicing magic lately, preparing for the upcoming year-end assessment."

"And after the year-end performance review is over?"

"It's fully booked."

"Junior brother, you should think this through carefully. My wizard's ruins are definitely real, and there must be a lot of good stuff inside, such as Great Stone, spellbooks, and wizard artifacts... These are all good things."

"Let's forget about it, senior brother."

"Okay, how about we go next year?"

"No, I'm not interested in wizarding ruins. I'm just a Child of Chaos, and the spells of this school are enough for me to cultivate for a lifetime. Senior brother, you should find someone else."

In the end, Noz left with no choice.

He returned to his residence.

"That damned Levi, he's so stubborn. Such a huge temptation, and he's not even tempted?" Noz was speechless. The wizarding ruins he mentioned were real; he hadn't lied to Levi.

He was the mole planted in the Gray-White Tower by the Ship of the Undead.

However, to avoid being exposed, the Ship of the Undead usually doesn't use him.

"Forget it, let's tell Carter about this situation first. There's nothing more I can do about it."

On the sea.

Carter looked at the intelligence report sent by Noz.

"Damn it, that little brat, why isn't he coming out? He's driving me crazy!"

He flew into a rage.

"Teacher, should we wait?"

"Wait and see. I don't believe he can stay in the Gray-White Tower forever. Going back now will only get him scolded by the captain. He might as well stay here and enjoy himself."

Green Ghost Carter has finally come to terms with it.

He had to catch that damned brat and torture him properly with the vicious spells of the Death School.

The Gray-White Tower.

Levi's daily life was monotonous yet fulfilling.

Meditation, spellcasting, watering flowers, Potion Making, Breathing Technique, sword skills, and the Black Demon Blade.

Soon, it was time for the annual performance review again.

Levi achieved excellent grades in all his theoretical classes this time.

He has already practiced the Water Arrow Technique to the late stage of the Second Order.

Tidal Grip has also broken through to the Second Order.

The Second Order is basically at the level of Intermediate Wizard Apprentice.

Levi felt that with his current skill level, he should have no problem handling this year's practical assessment.

However, a month before the actual combat assessment...

He then realized that the tower master wanted to truly train everyone's practical combat skills.

Be prepared for retaliation from the Black Wizard Organization, the Ship of the Undead.

Therefore, starting this year, practical assessments will be conducted overseas.

The assessment method is also very simple.

The group was led by Marco, Formal Wizard and the spell class teacher.

The apprentices went to the nearby waters to hunt sea creatures.

The three-day test requires anyone who hunts and kills a sea beast of intermediate apprentice strength to pass the assessment.

If one can hunt sea beasts with the strength of High-Grade Wizard Apprentice, then that is excellent.

As for the extraordinary sea beasts comparable to Formal Wizard, I'll forget about them.

Within the entire Gray-White Tower, the only one who could possibly hunt extraordinary sea beasts is Levi Wei.

Perhaps to accommodate Levi, the assessment rules have been changed this year.

As long as you hunt sea monsters, any means are acceptable.

In other words, even if Levi used his Knight strength to hunt down sea monsters, it would still be counted in the assessment.

It might be because of the previous attack by the Black Wizard.

This made the tower master realize how well the Gray-White Tower protected the Wizard Apprentice.

People have been living in comfort for too long, and have become somewhat complacent and have lost their fighting spirit.

Therefore, anyone who passes this assessment will receive a one-time reward of 20 points.

Those who excel will receive a one-time reward of 50 points.

Hunting extraordinary sea monsters will earn you 200 points!

This is a considerable points reward for most Wizard Apprentice.

So everyone was eager to try.

Levi was helpless upon hearing this news.

Although the rewards for this event are quite good.

But I really don't want to go out right now.

Before becoming Formal Wizard, Levi did not want to leave the Gray-White Tower even for a moment.

However, since this is the tower owner's rule.

Levi dared not disobey.

The Tower Master must have considered the possibility of retaliation from the Ship of the Undead when he did this.

He should have been prepared.

"However, with my current strength, Fourth Order Flame Stream, ultimate protection, Dragon Might, plus so many trump cards, I still have the power to fight against a Formal Wizard."

Levi is a cautious person and generally prefers conservative estimates.

In the gap while waiting for the practical assessment.

Levi was summoned to the Seventh Layer of the White Tower by the tower master.

The tower master smiled as he looked at Levi, Alchemy Prosthetic handed him a small bag.

"Here you go, this is 300 Great Stone. This is a reward from the Tower of Stars. Mai Lin applied for it for you half a year ago. There is a reward for killing evil Black Wizard. Although the amount is not much, it is the Tower of Stars and the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council's recognition of your behavior."

The reward was issued rather late, so it only just arrived a few days ago. Take it; you're in a period where you're short on money right now.

"That's what the tower master said."

Levi looked grateful and quickly took the small bag, saying, "Thank you, Tower Master, Teacher Mai Lin."

Teacher Mai Lin truly deserves the title of "Granny Mai"; she is so kind.

Levi was somewhat moved.

He never expected that Teacher Mai Lin had done so much behind the scenes.

This is truly heartwarming.

"Teacher, you must successfully advance to the next level!"

Levi prayed inwardly.

He now truly considers the Gray-White Tower his home in the Wizard World.

If I have the strength, I will definitely protect this place.

"I called you over because there are some other things I need to discuss."

"That's what the tower master said."

Levi nodded and said, "Please go ahead."

"I think the Ship of the Undead will target our apprentices in this practical assessment. Their captain, the Demon Man Harant, is my old nemesis and has been plotting against us for a long time. So I will protect you secretly. If Harant makes a move, I will. You don't need to worry about your safety."

"I haven't told anyone else about this. I suspect there's a mole in our tower, but I trust you because Mai Lin is very good at judging people."

"If the Demon Man Harant doesn't come, then unless the situation is really critical, I won't make a move. As Second-Ring Wizard, if I make a move, it would be bullying the weak. With a senior First-Circle Wizard like Marco here, you don't need to worry about your safety."

"However, although Marco is strong, his strength is limited. So if he can't handle it, I'll have to trouble you to protect our apprentices. My intention is to give you practical experience, but not to send you to your deaths in vain. We are training wizards, not raising poisonous insects."

"Although I am a wizard and don't know much about Knight, I know that those who can become Legendary Realm on the path of Knight are not ordinary people."

"Although the Gray-White Tower is a small organization and insignificant in the face of powerful forces, I sincerely hope that every apprentice who comes here can treat this place as their home."

The tower owner spoke with heartfelt sincerity.

Levi nodded. "Tower Master, don't worry, I will do my best to protect everyone. However, if it is beyond my ability, I hope the Tower Master will lend a hand."

Having left the White Tower, Levi was completely relieved.

With the Tower Master overseeing this assessment, it's highly unlikely that any problems will arise.

Levi returned to the ninth floor of the Gray Tower.

"Another huge sum of 300 Great Stone."

"I never imagined that hunting Black Wizard would have such benefits."

After putting away the Great Stone, Levi began preparing for the practical assessment.

Red Potion to restore physical and mental strength, Blue Potion to restore Art Power, Holy Medicine to heal injuries, poisons to coat weapons, enhanced Sleepy Potion to anesthetize giant beasts, and specially made chains purchased at a high price...

Just like the preparations before the killing in the Mortal World, Levi proceeded methodically.

Once everything is ready.

Three days later, in the square, Teacher Marco stood looking down at the thirty Wizard Apprentice.

He was quiet and didn't like to talk, so he didn't give any inspiring speeches.

Let's go.

10,000 words updated today, plus an extra 4,000 words, 20,000 words owed remaining, 10,000 words again tomorrow.

The book currently has 7,500 average daily subscriptions, and we are at a crucial moment in our sprint to reach 10,000 average daily subscriptions. Therefore, I will try to update long chapters of 10,000 words each time during this period to get the 10,000-subscription badge as soon as possible. After that, I will resume updating two medium-length chapters every two days.
