A giant brass fish, about twenty meters long, cuts through the waves on the sea.

The Wizard Apprentice stood on his back, resting and chatting.

Brass is the cheapest Alchemy material, followed by Mithril, Sun Gold, and so on.

Even in the Wizard World, Mithril and Sun Gold remain precious.

Therefore, most large Alchemy creatures are made from brass.

This behemoth is "White Tower Nine".

It is the most powerful Alchemy creature created by the Tower Master.

Its combat power in the sea is comparable to that of First-Circle Wizard.

The tower master spared no expense for this assessment.

He rarely used this Alchemy creature to minimize wear and tear and the consumption of Great Stone.

With the addition of this large copper lump, Levi felt even more at ease about this trip off the island.

To be honest, Levi was very interested in Alchemy.

There is also some basic knowledge of Alchemy in the Gray-White Tower.

But he simply doesn't have the time now.

With his current talent, practicing both the Oceanic School and the Death School's Meditation Technique and spells would already take too much time.

Moreover, he also had to manage both Potion Making and Breathing Technique.

After advancing to Formal Wizard and extending his lifespan to two hundred years, and having some self-defense capabilities in this Wizard World, he felt he could try out more factions.

Levi wished he had forty-eight hours in a day.

He was like a perpetually insatiable spiritual machine.

Tireless and tireless, they continuously accumulate all kinds of experience throughout the four seasons.

It takes about a day to get to the assessment area.

The Wizard Apprentice rarely get together, and they chat and laugh as they do so.

Winnie naturally sat with Levi.

Levi couldn't cultivate his skills with these Alchemy creatures, so he chatted casually with Winnie while keeping an eye out for potential enemies.

The fact that they encountered the enemy on their first voyage last time made it impossible for Levi to relax.

At the stern, Noz sat there all alone.

He looked at Levi and Winnie beside him with an extremely sorrowful gaze.

"Damn Levi, no... no!"

Noz cried out in his heart.

He felt that ever since Levi became a prominent figure in the Gray-White Tower.

His relationship with Winnie grew increasingly distant.

Winnie used to chat and laugh with him.

Now, every time he goes to see Winnie, Winnie is in meditation and always politely declines his advances.

It's all that damned Levi's fault!

Noz was indignant.

He doesn't want to be an undercover agent for even a day longer!

He only wanted the people of the Ship of the Undead to kill Levi.

Then take yourself back to the Ship of the Undead.

It would be even better if we could also snatch Winnie away while we're at it.

Levi felt someone watching him.

"It's him."

Levi glanced at Noz.

Noz forced a smile.

Levi smiled slightly.

"Laugh, you're still laughing. I'll make you stop laughing soon. You think you're so great, Legendary Knight? You're nothing compared to Lord Green Ghost Carter."

Noz scoffed inwardly.

Levi sensed that Noz acting strangely.

I don't know why, but every time I run into Noz lately...

Spider Sense will show a faint reaction.

Although it is weak, it is indeed a dangerous signal.

Noz seems to harbor great hostility towards himself.

However, because Noz was too weak, this sense of danger was minimal for Levi.

Levi could roughly guess that this was related to Winnie.

"It's not my fault. Winnie insisted on sitting with me. I wanted some peace and quiet too," Levi said, speechless.

After all, Winnie was his mentor, and when Levi first arrived, he consulted Winnie about many things he didn't understand, so Levi couldn't be ungrateful.

However, deep down, he didn't feel particularly attracted to Winnie.

I was definitely a little tempted.

After all, Winnie is beautiful, has an excellent temperament, a great figure, long legs, a big chest, a nice voice, and is very proactive.

As a man, it would be hypocritical to not be tempted at all.

But I don't know if it's because I'm too engrossed in spiritual practice that I've lost my worldly desires.

This slight attraction was completely uninteresting to Levi.

He only has a feeling for the guy on the Proficiency Panel right now.

On the other side, the wizard Marco sat upright at the bow of the ship, meditating with his eyes closed.

Marco and Mai Lin have completely opposite personalities.

Mai Lin is gentle, considerate, kind, and amiable.

Marco, on the other hand, always had that stern face.

Serious, rigid, and stern.

That's how most of the apprentices felt about him.

But the tower master told Levi that he could absolutely trust Marco.

This is an absolutely reliable wizard.

In order to avoid being targeted by the people of the Ship of the Undead.

Levi and his team did not follow a fixed route.

A Formal Wizard died on the Ship of the Undead.

He'll definitely be thinking about how to get revenge.

The tower master had already thought of this.

That's why he hid in the shadows.

Silently guarding the apprentices.

Levi sensed the surroundings but still couldn't find where the Tower Master was hiding.

Anyway, it's not inside the White Tower Nine that's right under our feet.

A powerful figure like the Tower Master should possess strong concealment techniques.

It might be lurking in the deep sea right now.

A day later, Levi and his group arrived safely at the trial sea.

This sea area is known as "Silent Bay".

The waves here are small, and it's not within the safe zone established by the wizards. There are quite a few sea beasts here, and occasionally some extraordinary sea beasts comparable to Formal Wizard will appear.

However, these extraordinary sea creatures are not very common.

Therefore, this region is perfect for apprentices to undergo trials and assessments.

Marco spoke coldly, "The assessment begins. Everyone, please be careful and do your best. Safety first."

Although the words were few, they still conveyed a sense of warmth.

Some apprentices who had mastered diving-related spells had already jumped into the sea to find their targets.

For most Wizard Apprentice, given their physical constitution, it would be difficult to swim in the sea for an extended period without the use of spells and potions. Therefore, for this hunt, many Wizard Apprentice prepared spells and potions that would facilitate movement in the ocean.

Winnie drank a bottle of "Fish Swimming Potion," waved to Levi, and entered the sea like a mermaid, her movements elegant, to begin searching for prey.

Noz over there has already entered the water.

Levi gazed in the direction Noz had gone.

He jumped directly into the sea without using any magic or props.

With his current physical condition, he could stay in the seawater for a whole day without any problems.

He followed Noz discreetly.

Noz has been acting strangely lately.

Moreover, he seemed hostile towards me.

The Spider Sense a slight danger.

Levi naturally needed to figure out Noz was trying to do.

If it's just because of jealousy, that's fine.

But if he had any other dangerous plots, Levi had to stop him and nip them in the bud! He dived to a depth of 100 meters.

Holding his breath, he followed Noz from a distance.

Noz was searching seemingly aimlessly.

Before long, Levi actually followed Noz to a small island.

Once on the island, Noz began to take something out of the island.

It was an object shaped like a conch shell, with intricate patterns shimmering on it.

"It's Sound Transmission Snail! How can this guy have something so precious?"

Levi was slightly surprised.

These Sound Transmission Snail are quite expensive.

That seemingly ordinary conch is actually a kind of extraordinary creature. Although this extraordinary creature has no combat power, it is extremely rare.

This extraordinary creature can communicate remotely with companions within a range of thousands of miles using the antennae on its forehead and its own shell.

Later, wizards invented First-Circle Spell called "Sound Transmission Spell".

This is a spell that can transmit sound over short distances.

Wizards imitated this conch shell, combining Sound Transmission Spell with the shell to create this magical artifact.

The sound transmission distance of the conch shell is increased by amplifying the Sound Transmission Spell distance.

Two holders can communicate remotely using a fixed incantation, and the sound can be transmitted over a range of thousands of miles, which is very convenient.

Because of the rarity of this type of conch, this magical artifact is also very expensive.

Not to mention Wizard Apprentice, even most Formal Wizard do not have such a sound transmission device.

That's why Levi was surprised.

"Could it be that Noz is a mole within another faction?"

Levi immediately became alert.

After taking out the sound-transmitting conch shell, Noz muttered incantations.

Not long after, a voice came from the other end of the communication conch.

Levi was too far away to hear what it was.

But when he saw Noz's ferocious face, he knew he was up to no good.

"It's definitely a mole. Damn it, I knew this trip wouldn't go so smoothly," Levi thought to himself.

If it weren't for the need to complete the assessment, and if it weren't for the tower master's guarantee...

He definitely won't go out.

The tower owner also suspected there was a mole within the tower.

Now it seems that the mole was Noz!

Levi hated traitors the most.

However, this is still just his guess.

He didn't hear what Noz was saying either.

Without evidence, Levi cannot take action.

Otherwise, he would have just arrested this guy and taken him back to the tower master for punishment.

"The Gray-White Tower is my ideal place for cultivation. Teacher Mai Lin and the Tower Master have both treated me very well. If anyone dares to covet the Gray-White Tower, I'll fight them!"

Levi's face was cold and gloomy, reflecting on this treacherous Wizard World.

It's not easy to have such a peaceful place to cultivate oneself.

Levi did not rush to make a move.

He watched quietly as Noz looked around and then left as if nothing had happened.

On the first night, many Wizard Apprentice had already hunted down some sea beasts, all of which were at the level of Low-Grade Wizard Apprentice.

Many people continue to search in the ocean in order to obtain higher ratings and better rewards.

Levi also hunted down several sea monsters of roughly the strength of Intermediate Wizard Apprentice to complete his mission.

For him, completing the assessment was a piece of cake.

However, his trip out this time wasn't just to complete a mission.

He also needed to find a powerful enough sea beast to become his mount.

Most of the sea creatures in this Silent Bay are Low-Grade Wizard Apprentice, and Levi is too lazy to hunt them.

He knew that the powerful sea monsters lived in the deep sea.

So he drank a bottle of Deep Water Potion and then dived into the deep sea.

In the blink of an eye, Levi arrived at a depth of several hundred meters.

It's so dark inside that sunlight can hardly penetrate.

In water, Levi's Advanced Vibration Perception range is even greater.

He activated his senses to the fullest, carefully searching for sea creatures in this area.

"Since Whale Song Lonely Island allows people to tame sea beasts as mounts, why can't I? Having a sea beast as a mount is much more convenient than traveling by boat."

Taking a boat is too restrictive; there's only one boat every seven days.

Moreover, the Azure Boat is too obvious a target, making it easy for the Ship of the Undead to ambush it.

Sea creatures are different; they are mobile and agile.

So Levi wanted to capture a sea monster alive and take it back, then slowly tame it with his Wild Heart.

In the deep sea, there is no sunlight.

Levi had to go up for some fresh air every half hour.

He kept diving deeper, trying to test the current limit of his physical descent.

500 meters.

Six hundred meters.

One kilometer.

Levi dived to a depth of a thousand meters in the ocean. The immense pressure squeezed his internal organs. If it weren't for his strong physical body and the protection of the Black Qi, an ordinary person would not have been able to withstand it.

Countless glowing sea fish are swimming around, the big fish eating the small fish, and the small fish eating the shrimp.

Suddenly, a huge shadow appeared in the water ahead, flashing blue light above its head, and charged directly towards Levi.

Levi executed a Tidal Grip.

The magic of the Oceanic School is most powerful when it is in water.

Soon, streams of water formed a cage, encircling the enormous creature.

Levi was able to perceive the appearance of this creature through Advanced Vibration Perception.

It was a creature similar to an anglerfish.

It has an exaggeratedly Abyss Maw, is over five meters long, and its body is covered with hard fish scales.

This sea beast's strength should be at the level of High-Grade Wizard Apprentice.

Especially in the sea, these beasts are even stronger.

boom.

In the intervals after the sea creatures are controlled by the tides.

Blood Wing suddenly appeared behind Levi.

Bang! Accelerate! A trail of blood-red energy appeared behind Levi, with billowing bubbles rising to the surface.

Levi wields Frostmourne, drawing his Golden Cross Slash.

A single sword strike! The sword light flashed across the Sea of No Light.

The sea monster had already been cut in two.

It was torn in half by Levi.

"Too ugly, it doesn't deserve to be my mount."

While complaining, Levi put the valuable materials from the sea monster into his Storage Bag.

Many spells of the Oceanic School are based on Casting Material derived from sea creatures.

Therefore, the sea monster is a treasure trove; its meat is a delicacy for Scarab Beetle and Levi, while other parts may be used as Casting Material.

Blood permeated the seawater.

The stench of blood flowed continuously with the water.

Levi deliberately left the sea monster's entrails here.

He's baiting the spot; he's going to catch a big fish.

He also put a whole bottle of his own concocted, enhanced Sleepy Potion, along with the bottle, into his internal organs.

Marine mammals are relatively large, so they usually swallow them whole, so there's no fear of them not getting bitten.

The bottle cap was made of a material that dissolves easily. Once it entered the sea monster's stomach, it melted, and then the entire bottle of the enhanced Sleepy Potion was drunk by the sea monster.

Even extraordinary sea monsters would be confused.

After making all the preparations.

He hid inside a reef in the sea.

Before long, all sorts of fish began to appear, devouring the giant anglerfish's carcass. To prevent his own fishing spot from being destroyed, Levi used the Dragon Might Seal to scare away the little fish that had come to join the fun.

Soon, the place became quiet.

After a short while, the deep sea water suddenly trembled violently.

Levi's Spider Sense attack.

My hair stood on end.

"There's a big one."

Levi's expression changed.

Judging from the degree of Spider Sense.

This huge creature is likely not an ordinary sea monster.

Rather, they are truly extraordinary beings.

His strength may rival that of Legendary Knight or First-Circle Wizard.

Therefore, Levi dared not be negligent.

Liquid Black Scale flowed and covered his entire body, and all the Casting Material the Guardian Seal and the Dragon Might Seal were ready.

As for the Flame Stream Seal, although it can be used underwater, its power is greatly reduced, so Levi did not prepare it.

In his perception, a sea monster with a body length of more than ten meters and a streamlined body appeared next to the pile of entrails and began to devour it without restraint.

This sea monster has a single horn, and there seems to be light flowing from the horn.

Its limbs have degenerated into four flippers.

Its body is covered with fine scales, and its back is covered with inverted spines.

"Is that Dragon King Whale?"

Levi's heart skipped a beat; this kind of sea beast.

Levi had studied this in a wizarding general education class.

It is one of the more well-known extraordinary sea creatures in the Endless Sea.

It is a true First Ring extraordinary being.

Possesses Spell-like Abilities abilities comparable to First-Circle Spell.

There are two types.

One type is an energy ray emitted from the single horn on its head, called an "Annihilation Ray".

This is the most feared Spell-like Abilities ability of the Dragon King Whale.

There was a precedent where Second-Ring Wizard's Second Ring defensive spell was broken by a charged attack from Dragon King Whale's Annihilation Ray.

It is said that, theoretically, if the charging time is long enough, the Annihilation Ray of the Dragon King Whale can injure Second-Ring Wizard.

Of course, this is only in theory. After all, the charging time of this skill is too long, making it easy to be interrupted and easy to predict and dodge.

In addition, the Dragon King Whale also possesses a Spell-like Abilities ability.

That is, to exhale a powerful breath from the mouth.

It's called "Dragon King Breath"! This is the most commonly used Spell-like Abilities ability of the Dragon King Whale.

That Annihilation Ray, every time it is used, will cause some damage to the Dragon King Whale itself.

Therefore, this big guy will not be used unless it is a critical moment of life and death.

The most important reason why the Dragon King Whale is famous is that it is the most common Dragonkind hybrid in this sea area.

The Dragonkind, whose name resounds throughout multiple dimensions.

Even powerful wizards hold Dragonkind in high esteem and are filled with fear.

This is a race with ancient wisdom and power, and like the gods, they are synonymous with strength in the eyes of mortals.

Among the Seven Kingdoms, there is one kingdom whose state religion Dragon God Church, and the deity they worship is the King of All Dragons.

"If I could have a hybrid Dragonkind superhuman as my mount, how impressive would that be? The sea beasts on Whale Song Lonely Island are nothing compared to the Dragon King Whale."

Levi pondered.

Although the Dragon King Whale was very powerful, it made Levi somewhat wary.

But such an opportunity is too good to miss, as it won't come again.

Because of its hybrid nature, the Dragon King Whale is stronger than most extraordinary sea beasts, probably comparable to First-Circle Wizard.

However, in a real fight, First-Circle Wizard would definitely be harder to deal with.

After all, humans are too cunning, and First-Circle Wizard have too many kinds of spells at their disposal.

Levi felt that if he was careful, subduing a Dragon King Whale shouldn't be a problem.

You have to understand, I just gained a passive effect that Dragon Affinity affinity.

With this special effect, plus Wild Heart.

Levi thought it was worth a try.

Taking a little risk is worthwhile for the sake of Dragonkind- hybrid superhuman creature.

"Moreover, the Dragon King Whale is not only a mount, but also my henchman. With his protection, I am safer in this sea area. After all, here, First-Circle Wizard is a high-end combat force."

In addition, the glands of the Dragon King Whale can also produce Ambergris. According to my general wizarding knowledge course, all Dragonkind- related creatures can produce Ambergris. The purer the bloodline, the better the quality of the Ambergris. And the better the quality of the Ambergris, the faster I can practice the Black Snake Breathing Technique, and the more powerful the Black Qi I cultivate will be.

The blood of the Dragon King Whale is actually a superior substitute for the blood of the Earth Dragon Beast.

After learning more about the mystical in the Wizard World.

According to the insights of Levi, a master of Breathing Technique.

Actually, those Breathing Technique require the blood of Earth Dragon Beast or Ambergris Secret Medicine.

Essentially, what is needed is that trace of Dragonkind blood and aura within these materials.

The giant beasts behind this Breathing Technique are legendary beings such as the Candle-Holding Black Serpent, the Iron Crocodile, and the Red Lotus.

It is very likely a sub-dragon or even Pure-blooded Dragon.

So, he now has a feeling

This type of Breathing Technique may be a process of continuous refinement and evolution towards the direction of the Dragonkind, ultimately allowing Levi to possess a body and abilities comparable to those of the Dragonkind.

With so many reasons, there was no way for Levi to let the Dragon King Whale leave.

The Dragon King Whale eats food just like Pigsy eats ginseng fruit.

She had no idea that Levi had drugged her.

Levi waited quietly for the medicine to take effect.

The Dragon King Whale could never have imagined that it would be in the ocean a thousand meters deep.

It turns out that a cunning human has set a trap for himself.

Being a supernatural being, it continued to wander around as if nothing had happened for a short time after drinking enough Sleepy Potion to knock out thousands of people.

Levi had no choice but to follow at a distance.

These large sea creatures usually roam leisurely on the seabed.

If they swim at full speed, it's fine for a short time, but for a long time, Levi can't keep up at all.

He didn't know how long he swam with that sea beast. During that time, the creature also preyed on some weaker sea beasts. Levi also witnessed the powerful force of the Dragon King Breath.

A jet of Deep Blue, high-pressure water shot out, piercing through the defenses of a High-Grade Wizard Apprentice -level sea beast in one strike.

However, Levi felt that he could handle it.

Aside from these two Spell-like Abilities abilities, the Dragon King Whale doesn't have any other outstanding features.

Compared to top-tier behemoths like the Earth Dragon Beast, it wasn't much stronger.

Finally, Levi noticed that the Sleepy Potion seemed to be starting to work.

The Dragon King Whale wobbled as it rose to the surface to breathe.

When the Dragon King Whale came to the surface, Levi seized the opportunity to burst out.

He transformed into a crimson shadow and arrived beneath the belly of the Dragon King Whale.

Without hesitation, he used First-Circle Spell, the Frost Giant's Sigh.

The phantom of the Frost Giant appeared, and a snap of his fingers rang out.

A cold wind swept through, freezing everything.

This section of the sea has been temporarily frozen.

The Dragon King Whale was also frozen inside.

However, it is clear that this only temporarily restricts the Dragon King Whale's movements.

There's no way to inflict too much damage on such extraordinary beings.

Although the Dragon King Whale was dizzy, it sensed the danger and began to struggle, causing the ice to creak and crack.

Taking this opportunity, Levi unleashed Dragon Might Seal after another.

He planned to use the Dragon Might Seal to deplete the Dragon King Whale's spiritual power and destroy its will.

The Dragon Might Seal is very effective at taming wild beasts; Levi has already tried it on the Hengha Er Jiang.

However, Levi was still unsure about dealing with such extraordinary creatures as the Dragon King Whale.

He could only pin his hopes on his Dragon Affinity.

After several uses of the Dragon Might Seal, the Dragon King Whale became listless.

These sea creatures, though powerful, are all physically strong.

In terms of spiritual cultivation, it's similar to that of Great Knight.

It was utterly impossible to withstand the spiritual impact of Li Weilong's Seal of Power.

However, it also broke through the solid ice that restricted its body.

Levi immediately applied Tidal Grip, temporarily restricting the Dragon King Whale's movements.

He fired a Water Arrow Technique, which struck the Dragon King Whale's body.

The Dragon King Whale was in pain, but its defenses were not breached.

"Damn it, trash magic trick!"

Levi cursed under his breath and drew his Lion King's Pride.

He swung the Sledgehammer, and his body grew enormously.

Then, all sorts of forms, such as Black Scale, Ostrich Foot, and Blood Wing, appeared.

Aside from the Red Lotus Form and the Nine Swords Form.

Levi has already used most of his cards.

He struck the Dragon King Whale's hard skull with a single blow.

However, he held back some of his strength and did not use the Golden Cross Slash.

He was afraid that he might actually kill the Dragon King Whale.

He just wanted to knock the other person unconscious so he could kidnap them.

Because neither the Dragon Affinity nor its Wild Heart could allow Levi to tame this extraordinary beast in a short time.

He has to take this guy back and slowly tame him, like taming a hawk.

The hammer struck with a dull thud.

The Dragon King Whale immediately fainted.

It floated and swayed in the seawater, half-submerged, but still had a breath.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Levi took out Mithril chain he had prepared beforehand from his Storage Bag and tightly bound the Dragon King Whale.

He had come out with the intention of taming a sea monster along the way, so he had done a very thorough job of preparing beforehand.

Levi dragged the heavy Dragon King Whale as he slowly swam forward.

If it weren't for the buoyancy of the water, even with Levi's current extraordinary strength, it would be difficult to move such a behemoth.

When Levi returned to White Tower Nine, it was already the early hours of the next day.

By this time, most Wizard Apprentice had completed their tasks, but Wizard Apprentice still had not yet found a suitable target.

Winnie had clearly completed her task as well.

She saw Levi come into view.

"Hehe, I hunted down a Hammerhead Beast."

She excitedly shared it with Levi.

The Hammerhead Beast is a powerful sea creature with the strength of High-Grade Wizard Apprentice.

"Congratulations, senior sister, you did an excellent job in the assessment," Levi said with a smile.

"And you?" Winnie asked.

Levi then tied the chain in his hand to the tail of White Tower Nine. Now it would be up to White Tower Nine to drag this big guy back.

A giant sea monster, not much smaller than White Tower Nine, appeared in the sight of the many apprentices, with its iconic single horn, two pairs of flippers, long and powerful whale tail, and blue back and white belly.

"Dragon King Whale?" Winnie exclaimed. She had seen this creature in the monster encyclopedia.

Even Teacher Marco changed, a rare occurrence for him. He said, "Is this your prey? Why didn't you kill it?"

Levi smiled sheepishly and said, "Teacher, I want to catch one alive. I've learned some Animal Taming techniques and want to see if I can tame such a sea beast."

Marco's expression twitched. After taking a deep breath, he calmly said, "The Dragon King Whale is a true First Ring extraordinary creature. Ordinary Animal Taming techniques cannot tame it unless you are Spiritism School wizard who has mastered true beast-taming magic."

"It's alright, teacher. I'll give it a try. I'll keep an eye on this big guy. Don't worry, if I can capture it alive, I can handle it. It won't affect our operation," Levi said.

"Alright, just to be on the safe side, I'll cast another First-Circle Spell on this guy, Siren's Song." Marco began to chant, his voice as ethereal and melodious as Sea Siren's. He waved his wand, and a blue light flowed into the Dragon King Whale.

"The Siren's Song should put it to sleep for a while, but not for long."

Marco said.

"Thank you, teacher. I guess I've completed the task..."

Levi asked with a wry smile.

Marco nodded. "Exceeding the target, 200 points will be awarded."

The other Wizard Apprentice were completely dumbfounded.

I sent you to hunt sea monsters, and you actually captured a Dragon King Whale, a supernatural creature with First Ring, and brought it back alive?

They're both Wizard Apprentice, so why is there such a big difference? Is it too late for him to switch to Knight? Levi ignored the gazes of those people and looked at Noz, who was sitting quietly over there.

Everything is normal now.

Could it be that I misunderstood Noz?

He might not be the mole.

Levi was puzzled.

He returned to the ship to recover his strength and spirit, awaiting the end of the assessment.

The next evening, when Levi estimated that the Dragon King Whale was about to wake up, he gave it another dose of the Sleepy Potion, and Teacher Marco also gave it the Siren's Song.

By this time, most of the apprentices had successfully returned.

However, some apprentices were injured.

However, no one died from hunting sea monsters.

As long as you don't go too far and don't provoke those powerful sea monsters.

Under normal circumstances, there is no risk to life.

By noon on the third day, everyone had completed the assessment, and even the worst student had passed.

Only Levi received an outstanding rating.

This made the other apprentices extremely envious.

White Tower Nine slowly started moving, heading back the way it came.

On the way, Levi stared at the Dragon King Whale, his gaze occasionally sweeping over Noz.

Even now, the Spider Sense still have a slight feeling of danger.

Levi dared not let his guard down.

His Spider Sense had saved his life multiple times.

Therefore, Levi still had great faith in the accuracy of his Spider Sense.

As soon as the White Tower Nine sailed out of the harbor, it saw a wooden boat moored there.

The Spider Sense of danger surged through him instantly, making Levi's hair stand on end.

This situation indicates that the enemy is very powerful! At the bow of the wooden boat, Green Ghost Carter had a gloomy expression, with two Hell Warrior guarding him on either side.

On his ship, undead creatures roared, and Wizard Apprentice hid among them.

Seeing Levi on White Tower Nine excited Green Ghost Carter.

"Hehehe, that damned Legendary Knight has finally emerged. This time I will surely kill him!"

It's been more than half a year, and the flowers that Green Ghost Carter and others have been waiting for have all withered.

He leaned on his staff, looking like a shaman from Hell.

This powerful First-Circle Wizard blocked Levi and his companions' path.

On White Tower Nine, Levi looked at Noz, whose expression remained unchanged.

"Sure enough, this guy is the traitor. He used the Sound Transmission Snail to send a message to the people on the Ship of the Undead."

However, all of this was within Levi's expectations. With the Tower Master in charge, there shouldn't be any safety issues.

"Green Ghost Carter, are you trying to provoke Second Ring war between the Gray-White Tower and the Ship of the Undead?" Marco said coldly.

"Marco, hand over that Legendary Knight, and you can leave. To be honest, we, the Ship of the Undead, will definitely have a decisive battle with you someday. But not today. If I take that Legendary Knight with me today, we will temporarily let bygones be bygones regarding your killing of our First-Circle Wizard."

"If all of you apprentices were to die, that old Herman would be heartbroken, wouldn't he?" Green Ghost Carter threatened.

His strength is second to none among the First-Circle Wizard on the Ship of the Undead. He is already First Ring wizard, mastering ten Zero-Circle Cantrip, six First-Circle Spell, and one Second-Ring Spell.

Last time, he was mainly forced to retreat because he was ambushed by the Legendary Knight, and the old woman Mai Lin recklessly used Second-Ring Spell.

This time, thanks to the tip-off from the mole Noz, he came prepared.

This time, no matter what, we must take this Legendary Knight away, torture him to death, and vent the hatred in Green Ghost Carter's heart!

Marco sneered at such an unreasonable demand, "You alone shouldn't be able to spout such nonsense. If I'm not mistaken, your captain, the Demon Man Harant, must be here too. In that case, stop hiding your true intentions. If you want to start the Second Second Second-Ring Wizard War between our two organizations ahead of schedule, then come on."

As a spellcasting teacher, Marco may not have reached the First Ring of magic as long as Teacher Mai Lin and Green Ghost Carter, but his strength is still far beyond that of ordinary First-Circle Wizard.

Green Ghost Carter sneered, "Why would the captain need to lift a finger to deal with a junior like you? Marco, you overestimate yourself. Since you refuse to hand over that Legendary Knight, then prepare to die. Hehehe, wouldn't it be wonderful to wipe out so many apprentices of the Gray-White Tower at once and sever your lineage?"

With a wave of his staff, two Hell Warrior leaped high into the air, wreathed in green flames and gusts of eerie wind, charging towards Levi and his companions.

At the same time, Noz looked perfectly normal, suddenly cast some kind of spell on the High-Grade Wizard Apprentice Winnie, Winnie immediately fainted.

Noz picked up Winnie, activated his protective shield, and headed directly towards the Ship of the Undead.

"Noz? You?" Marco's expression changed. He was about to make a move when the Hell Warrior attacked. Facing Hell undead creature comparable to Legendary Knight, Marco dared not be careless and could only deal with the Hell Warrior first.

"The rest of you, protect the wounded, then work together to deal with the other Hell Warrior. Levi, you go save Winnie."

Marco said.

"Okay, teacher."

The remaining apprentices chanted spells and waved their wands.

With their numerical advantage, they blocked the first wave of attacks from the Hell Warrior.

However, it is clear that Hell Warrior is just one of Green Ghost Carter's summons.

As a seasoned First-Circle Wizard of the Death Faction, he has more than just these summoned creatures.

More and more apprentice-level undead creatures charged towards White Tower Nine, with Lantern Fire, skeleton soldiers, and archers launching increasingly dense attacks.

Green Ghost Carter specializes in summoning within the Death Faction.

Therefore, all his strength was concentrated on his summoned creatures. Now that he had come prepared, his various summoned creatures had created a situation where he could completely overwhelm his opponent in numbers.

Levi unfurled his Blood Wing, his speed skyrocketing. He walked on water, casually conjuring a Black Qi blade in his hand, which he then shot out.

As Levi drew ever closer, Noz was terrified.

"Lord Carter, save me!"

"Noz shouted urgently."

The Black Qi was engulfed by a green flame the instant it struck Noz.

The green flames continued their relentless advance, hurtling towards Levi.

Levi's expression was solemn.

He narrowly escaped the green flames.

Then, he spread his hands, and all ten Black Qi blades flew out of his hands.

Dense Black Qi blades pierced the air and roared out.

Noz used all his strength and various protective spells to barely hold off the attack.

One of the Black Qi blades pierced his waist. He could have dodged it, but he didn't, because he wanted to protect Winnie from harm.

"Wow, this isn't just being a simp, this is love."

Levi inwardly complained, while preparing for the next attack.

While exchanging beams with Marco, Green Ghost Carter also managed to command the undead creatures to attack Levi.

Just as these undead creatures surrounded it, White Tower Nine rode the wind and waves, billowing white vapor rising into the sky.

At the same time, a crimson beam of light burst forth from the bow of the White Tower Nine, and raging flames swept across the sea area within a radius of tens of meters in front of it.

This is a powerful weapon that the tower master installed on White Tower Nine.

He named it "Crimson Flame Breath".

This shot was incredibly powerful; even Formal Wizard wouldn't dare to withstand it head-on. However, the cost was that this shot directly consumed one hundred Great Stone.

The undead creatures vanished and disintegrated before the crimson beam of light.

"Damn, these Alchemy creatures are incredibly powerful. Once I become First-Circle Wizard, I absolutely have to get my hands on one!"

While feeling envious, Levi took the opportunity to step onto the bow of the White Tower Nine, where Ostrich Foot appeared, bent like bows, and Black Qi burst forth.

Boom! Levi leaped up nearly a hundred meters into the air, sending White Tower Nine crashing into the seabed.

His body was covered in layers of Liquid Black Scale, the Seed of Blood Beast trembled violently, and his Blood Wing, imbued with blood energy, formed a blood-red tail flame.

Behind him, the Nine Swords Asura silently emerged, exuding terrifying majesty, like a divine manifestation, intimidating everything! He plummeted from the sky!

Boom! Using gravity and his own Blood Wing, he burst forth.

The massive black flame giant, weighing over a thousand pounds, crashed onto the wooden boat, and Levi channeled the Ripple Power to the Ostrich Foot.

The force of the kick shattered the deck inscribed with magical runes.

In the end, Levi stepped straight through the bottom of the boat and fell into the sea.

Then, gazing at the wooden boat, he pulled out the Lion King's Pride.

A powerful hammer blow! The Ripple Power! The bottom of the ship was quickly shattered, and seawater flooded into the cabin.

The wooden boat began to sink.

Immediately afterwards, Levi's veins turned crimson, like magma, and billowing hot air emanated from Levi mouth and nose.

At this moment, Levi, with his Black Scale, Ostrich Foot, Blood Wing, and crimson blood, resembled a little dragon-man who breathed out dragon fire.

He wielded a giant hammer, and the ferocious figure of the Nine Swords Asura appeared on the ship.

A terrifying green fireball descended from the sky.

They blasted Levi into the cabin, and the ship burst into flames.

Green Ghost Carter sneered, "A mere Legendary Realm? I already told you to give me enough preparation. Legendary Knight is nothing to worry about. This shot of mine..."

Before Green Ghost Carter could finish speaking, a pale golden light flashed within the green flames, then shattered, revealing flowing Liquid Black Scale.

Levi shattered the deck and charged forward like a blood-red shadow.

He discovered that his Guardian Seal could actually withstand the attack of First-Circle Spell for a moment!

Levi's rapid sprint created a bloody shadow that directly struck Noz's side.

Noz's protective shield, which was holding Winnie, was shattered by Levi's palm strike.

Levi snatched Winnie away and then smashed Noz's head with a single blow.

Pick up Noz's dropped items and quickly evacuate.

All of this was done smoothly and seamlessly.

Although his Rune Seal was very powerful, his goal was to rescue Winnie, not to fight the powerful Green Ghost Carter.

Green Ghost Carter is no ordinary First-Circle Wizard; he has too many trump cards up his sleeve, Levi doesn't want to waste the opportunity to retreat.

After grabbing Winnie, Levi immediately jumped into the sea and left.

Just then, a Flame Knight engulfed in crimson Hell appeared beside Green Ghost Carter, staring intently at Levi, radiating overwhelming fury.

"Go, kill that man," Green Ghost Carter sneered.

The Flame Knight, riding his Skeleton Warhorse, chased after Levi, closing the distance between them.

"Since I dared to come here alone to surround you, I naturally have my own backing. This is a genuine Nightmare Knight. Let me show you, a so-called Legendary Knight, what a real Knight is."

Green Ghost Carter laughed heartily.

The Nightmare Knight rode his Hell Nightmare Warhorse, wielding a heavy chain hammer. He galloped directly on the waves, walking on the water, the seawater turning into white mist around him.

Levi's expression was solemn. This Nightmare Knight seemed to be even stronger than the Hell Warrior.

He didn't want to linger in the fight. As Blood Beast, he unleashed his power, increasing his speed to a new level. He shot out of the water and landed on the head of White Tower Nine. White Tower Nine then unleashed another Crimson Flame Breath towards the Nightmare Knight was getting closer and closer behind him.

The Nightmare Knight neither dodged nor evaded, wielding his chain mace, bathed in flames, and continued his attack.

"This must be Second Ring summon, right?" Levi was shocked. Countless Black Qi shot out backward, but were all blocked by the Nightmare Knight.

With the help of White Tower Nine.

Levi successfully brought Winnie to Teacher Marco's place.

With the combined efforts of the Wizard Apprentice, the Hell Warrior was destroyed, and Marco also dealt with one.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Winnie had been successfully rescued by Levi.

Then, he stared solemnly at the Nightmare Knight riding the Fiery Horse.

Even he felt a deep sense of dread.

This Hell creature seems to have reached a strength close to that of Second Ring.

Levi quietly retreated behind Teacher Marco.

Now that I've completed my task, I can't push myself too hard anymore.

The Red Lotus Blood has burned out, and the Nine Swords Asura has also been used.

If he rushes in now, he'll be throwing his life away.

The tower master is probably somewhere quietly watching the situation.

It's even possible that the other party's ship owner is also hiding in the shadows.

Neither of these two Second Ring powerhouses would make a move easily.

Once they make a move, it will be a full-blown war.

At that point, it might be a fight to the death.

"Levi, take the other apprentices and leave quickly on the White Tower Nine. I'll hold off Green Ghost Carter and his summoned creature. This summoned creature is very powerful; it was probably summoned by Green Ghost Carter using Second-Ring Spell."

"Okay, Teacher Marco."

Without further ado, Levi seized the opportunity while Teacher Marco was displaying his prowess in a fierce battle against the Nightmare Knight.

He led his Wizard Apprentice and quickly evacuated aboard the White Tower Nine.

He took stock and found that apart from Noz, the traitor who had been killed by him, all the other apprentices were still alive, though a few were seriously injured.

After all, so many apprentices constitute a powerful force, and with everyone's cooperation, they could even kill the Hell Warrior.

Levi sighed inwardly as he watched Teacher Marco being overwhelmed by the Nightmare Knight.

If his Red Lotus Blood state hasn't expired, he could help his teacher.

But I'm already in a weakened state, and participating in that level of battle would be tantamount to suicide.

Living up to Teacher Marco's expectations and safely returning these apprentices to the Gray-White Tower is the most important thing to do right now.

On the other side, Green Ghost Carter was also anxious as he watched Levi, the Legendary Knight, about to escape again. He ordered Nightmare Knight to continue dealing with Marco.

He waved his magic circle, chanted a spell, and transformed into a wisp of green smoke, billowing as it chased after Levi.

"Damn it, anyone can leave, but you little brat have to stay!" Green Ghost Carter sneered from within the green smoke.

This is a flight spell from the Death Faction, and it can only allow for short-distance flight.

But it's extremely fast.

The green smoke was about to catch up.

Black Qi swirled around Levi; he had already prepared the Casting Material the Flame Seal.

Just then, a Mithril arm suddenly appeared, stretching out continuously, with runes flashing on its surface.

Then, the arm grasped the green smoke in mid-air.

Screams echoed from within the green smoke.

Levi knew that the tower had taken action.

"Heh heh, old Herman, I knew you'd make your move. I didn't want to act so soon, but I don't want to miss such a good opportunity. Do you know how long I've waited for this day? Do you know how I've endured this long escape? Now that you're here, don't leave. Let you and this pile of iron on your body rest in peace in this sea!"

Suddenly, a ferocious figure, resembling an undead creature, Stepping Void, its body engulfed in black demonic flames. Beside it, a hideous Three-Headed Hell Lizard drooled.

"Harant, stop talking nonsense and let's fight here today. Your Ship of the Undead really need to be taught a lesson." The tower master's disdainful voice came from his arm.

Green Smoke also broke free from the Tower Master's control and returned to the Demon's side, transforming into the Green Ghost Carter.

"Captain, that little brat is the Legendary Knight of the Gray-White Tower, we absolutely cannot let him get away with this!" Green Ghost Carter complained.

"Levi, you take the rest of the group and evacuate. I've arranged for Yolman to meet you up ahead. I won't have time to worry about you now."

The tower master's voice echoed in Levi's mind.

Without further ado, Levi ordered White Tower Nine to lead himself and the other Wizard Apprentice to a swift retreat.

The battlefield situation has changed drastically.

This is a Second-Ring Wizard!

Next, I stayed here and got grazed by the aftershocks of the Second-Ring Wizard's attack.

They might all die.

In the end, Levi and his men got away from that terrifying battlefield.

The faint sounds of powerful spells exploding could be heard.

I wonder what the situation is like over there.

"The Gray-White Tower can't be damaged. The Tower Master has to deal with the captain of the Ship of the Undead and a Second Ring transcendent creature all by himself. I don't know if he can handle it." Levi frowned.

Not long after, Levi and his companions encountered Yolman was circling on the sea.

Yolman came to pick up Levi and the others.

Next, the apprentices all clung to Yolman, Yolman then led them away quickly.

Levi, on the other hand, remained on the battered White Tower Nine.

He also had to keep an eye on his Dragon King Whale.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Levi saw Teacher Mai Lin's figure appear on the sea.

"Little Levi, are you alright?"

Teacher Mai Lin asked with a serious expression.

"Teacher? I'm fine. Did you successfully advance to the Second Ring?"

Levi asked with a look of surprise and delight.

Teacher Mai Lin smiled slightly, "That's right, it was a success. I heard that we were at war with the Ship of the Undead, so I rushed over immediately."

Levi breathed a sigh of relief.

With Teacher Mai Lin, a newly promoted Second-Ring Wizard, things should be safe from now on.

Not long after.

Levi saw a strange man, now only half a body, grabbing the Green Ghost Carter and rapidly cutting through the sea, fleeing frantically.

Behind him, an enforcer dressed in Starry Robe silently pursued the strange man.

"Damn Herman, you actually called the enforcers of the Tower of Stars to ambush me! You're despicable!"

The figures of the Demon Man Harant and the enforcer quickly disappeared into the horizon, vanishing without a trace.

High in the sky, a five-meter-tall "Alchemy creature" with a head gleaming with Sun Gold and covered in Mithril and studs fell into the sea and then appeared before Levi.

The Alchemy creature was covered in flesh, skin, and hair, as well as marks from being scorched by flames. Its Sun Gold head was cracked open, revealing a living brain inside.

This monster was none other than the Tower Master. He abandoned the pursuit and watched the Demon Man Harant flee.

"Master Tower, are you alright?" Levi asked cautiously.

He had never seen the tower master in such a disheveled state; clearly, the battle that had just taken place must have been incredibly fierce.

"It's alright, haha. They're just a bunch of junk, but their brains aren't damaged yet. I'll go back and fix them up. I took the opportunity to teach Harant a lesson, and he should be quiet for a while. It won't be able to fully recover for at least ten years. Hehe, flesh and blood can never compare to Alchemy Prosthetic."

The tower master spoke calmly, even putting his fallen eyeball back into its socket.

"You're pushing yourself too hard," Mai Lin said, speechless.

"It's nothing. Hey, you've advanced to the Second Ring?" the tower master asked in surprise.

"Yes, we were lucky, we almost failed," Mai Lin said.

"Haha, great news! Don't tell anyone else about this. Now we have two Second-Ring Wizard in our tower. If Harant dares to come again, we'll make sure he doesn't leave alive!" the tower master laughed.

"Stop talking, hurry up and fix your prosthetics," Mai Lin said helplessly.

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

Inside the ninth floor of the Gray Tower, Levi opened his eyes.
