Flame Stream Seal: Fifth Order (Limit), Special Effect: Dance of the Fire God

[Dance of the Fire God: Flames are born, Dance Together with fire. Your speed of practicing Meditation Technique and spells related to the fire element is significantly increased.] Levi looked at the newly released special effects.

Just as he had predicted.

After Fifth-Order Limit of the Flame Stream Seal, the resulting special effect is related to Fire Element Affinity.

This means that his speed of mastering the Meditation Technique and spells of the Combustion Faction far surpasses that of the Child of Chaos.

If we take into account the effects of Earth Pulse, and add my own Proficiency Panel, my current fire talent should be in no way inferior to dual-elemental affinity.

However, Levi currently does not have Meditation Technique related to the Combustion Faction, nor are they available in the Gray-White Tower. He can only ask Manla to look for them for him at the Black Sail Wizard Market later.

It's Fish Dragon of all sorts of people, a gathering place for Rogue Wizard from all walks of life; you could find anything there.

"Now let's test the power of the Fifth Order Flame Stream."

Levi left the ninth floor of the Gray Tower and came alone to a secluded shore on the island.

This coastline is a forbidden zone for the Gray-White Tower.

Because here lives a supernatural creature comparable to First-Circle Wizard, the Dragon King Whale.

With this enormous creature here, the apprentices dared not come over.

The Formal Wizard also knew that this was Levi's pet, so they did not bother Levi.

Marco had previously asserted that Levi could not tame the Dragon King Whale, but he was proven wrong by Levi later. In the end, he still couldn't understand how Levi used ordinary Animal Taming taming methods to make this irritable Dragon King Whale, which even Formal Wizard found troublesome, submit.

Today, Leviathan leisurely roams the sea. Its weak points are protected by Levi customized armor plates, which gives Leviathan a cyberpunk-like aesthetic and awe-inspiring presence.

"Leviathan, come on, go find me a Scorpion-Tailed Turtle, and I'll make you a delicious roasted Scorpion-Tailed Turtle."

After Levi finished speaking, he sat down in the middle of the spines on Leviathan's back, holding the spines in one hand.

Leviathan sprayed water mist, swung its tail, and quickly left the shore.

You don't need to go far to find Scorpion-Tailed Turtle; they are found in the waters near the small islands.

This turtle is about the size of a car, and its tail has a scorpion stinger, which is its main means of attack. It is about as strong as High-Grade Wizard Apprentice.

Although Scorpion-Tailed Turtle aren't very good at attacking, their shells are very hard, making their defense top-notch. They also gather in small groups and have a very volatile temper, making them quite dangerous.

Therefore, most Wizard Apprentice generally don't provoke Scorpion-Tailed Turtle unnecessarily.

Levi was different. Every now and then, he would look for Scorpion-Tailed Turtle and use them to test the power of his spells or Breathing Technique.

This has led to a decrease in the number of Scorpion-Tailed Turtle near the Gray-White Tower.

With Leviathan's help, Levi searched for quite some time before finally finding a Scorpion-Tailed Turtle.

Levi had experimented with this many times before.

Without using the Knight's abilities, among the tricks Levi currently possesses, only the Third Order Wither Ray can severely injure the Scorpion-Tailed Turtle in one blow.

Because the Wither Ray has a strong penetrating effect, it can ignore part of the Scorpion-Tailed Turtle's shell defense.

The same level Third Order Water Arrow Technique could only cause some cracks in the Scorpion-Tailed Turtle's shell, but it couldn't completely break through its defenses.

Now, Levi has mastered the Fifth Order Flame Stream Seal. Theoretically, the power of this Flame Stream Seal should not be much weaker than the First-Circle Spell Burning Hands.

He began preparing to cast the spell from about ten meters away from the Scorpion-Tailed Turtle.

The Scorpion-Tailed Turtle's shell has some small cracks, which were caused by that damned Levi using Water Arrow Technique to practice on it.

Just when those small cracks were almost healed, Levi came again, still riding his Dragon King Whale.

The Scorpion-Tailed Turtle was speechless when it saw this human and whale duo.

It swam frantically ahead, while Leviathan chased after it at a leisurely pace, maintaining a distance of about ten meters from the Scorpion-Tailed Turtle.

Levi unleashed a palm strike, the Colorless Flame scorching the path ahead. The air warped and twisted under the intense heat, and a distorted burning path spanned ten meters before slamming into the Scorpion-Tailed Turtle.

Boom! As if it spontaneously combusted, the Scorpion-Tailed Turtle's hard shell began to char and carbonize rapidly, and it shrank inside the shell.

After the flames stopped, the Scorpion-Tailed Turtle remained motionless.

It was roasted at high temperature, and the turtle shell was used as a pot to make a pot of turtle soup.

"Go eat."

Levi said.

After receiving Levi's permission, Leviathan happily began to enjoy his feast.

"Indeed, the power of the Flame Stream now gives my magical attacks a decent trump card."

Levi returned to the tower, completely satisfied.

Now that all Four Great Seals are at their maximum level, he won't need to waste time grinding for Rune Seal anymore, which saves him a lot of time.

Today, Levi's wizarding way.

The only things that require grinding are the three Meditation Technique: Deep Sea, Night Raven, and Earth, plus the two tricks: Tidal Grip and Wither Ray.

As for Breathing Technique, the Black Snake, Red Lotus, and the newly acquired Phoenix Breathing Technique all require liver energy.

Besides those, there's the Black Demon Blade and the Golden Cross Slash.

"I can't waste the special effects of my Dance of the Fire God. First, have Manla get me a basic Meditation Technique from the Combustion Faction. In terms of attack power, both the Burning and Thunder Faction are top-notch."

With flames as his robes and Thunder as his spear, Levi felt incredibly cool just thinking about it.

"Now, besides gaining experience, there are two other important things: one is to find extraordinary creatures that may contain the Phoenix Bloodline, and the other is to find the Rune Seal inheritance of the Duncan Family and Van Helsing Family."

The Phoenix Breathing Technique is very important. Levi needs to push it to its limit as soon as possible. This will increase his margin for error in battle, and his powerful physique will allow Levi to have a lower-tier version of the Blood Clan's immortality.

The Rune Seal is equally important; it may be the only way for someone with the Child of Chaos talent to defy fate and become a genius of the four elements.

The clues about the Four Great Families in the Wizard World are not hard to find, because the four great Four Great Families in the Mortal World world were established in the mortal realm by the bloodline descendants of four Great Wizard from the Wizard World, who are countless generations later. These bloodline descendants are the "ancestors" of the Four Great Families mentioned in that letter.

These four Great Wizard were all from ancient times, and they no longer exist; they may have perished.

After all, although wizards have long lifespans, this is only relative to short-lived species. Compared to Long-Lived Species, the lifespan of wizards is not proportional to their strength at all.

Third-Ring Wizard is incredibly powerful, but under normal circumstances, he can only live for a little over five hundred years, which is less than the lifespan of the First-Generation Secondary Blood Clan Anderson Knight.

High-Rank Wizard may live for over a thousand years, but this lifespan is not very long compared to their immense power.

It seems as if some unseen force is balancing all of this.

Wizards possess great wisdom and power, yet they have never been able to fully unravel the mystery of immortality.

Otherwise, given the wizards' rate of progress, they could probably have taken down those high and mighty gods of the Astral Realm by now.

During this period, Levi also found some information about the Four Great Families through various channels, but he found that this information was not very complete and very little of it was useful.

Moreover, much of the information ultimately points to the Mortal World.

He felt that if he wanted to obtain the Rune Seal of the other two major families, he might have to start from the Mortal World.

With Andrew acting as his agent in the Mortal World, Levi naturally didn't need to go back in person. He sealed up the clues he had collected about the Four Great Families and packed up some things he wanted to send back to the Mortal World.

He contacted the messenger at the Owl House, intending to have Andrew intensify the search based on the clues he had found.

The year 1020 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Origin.

The owl flew to the Gray-White Tower and transformed into the messenger girl that Levi had met once before.

"What a coincidence, beautiful lady, how may I address you?"

Levi smiled slightly.

The messenger was expressionless, her long, beautiful legs barely visible beneath her black veil. She didn't answer Levi's question, but instead said, "Postage is 100 Great Stone. Please pay."

"Can you make it cheaper?"

"Cannot."

"All right."

Levi tried to get closer to the person to reduce the postage.

Clearly, his charm level was insufficient, and he failed miserably.

The messenger was like an iceberg, always with that aloof expression.

After receiving the mail, the messenger suddenly said, "Now, to answer your first question. My name is Eve, messenger number 1024 from Owl House, responsible for mail service in this area."

After she finished speaking, she waved her wand, which transformed into an owl, and then floated away.

"That's really expensive, 100 Great Stone! This is highway robbery!"

Levi felt a pang of regret.

Even with his current level of wealth.

They also cannot afford such a high price.

If it weren't for the urgent matter of the Rune Seal, Levi certainly wouldn't have wasted the money.

However, considering the inconvenience of traveling between the Mortal World and the Azure Realm, 100 Great Stone isn't actually that expensive.

Among the items Levi mailed this time were clues and information about the Four Great Families, as well as a reply to Andrew.

There were also some Great Stone returned to Anderson, since Levi couldn't very well take so many Great Stone from the old man for free.

Just before Levi was about to continue his seclusion, he suddenly received news that the Tower Master seemed to have something to discuss with him.

Levi hurriedly arrived at the White Tower.

We arrived at the seventh floor of the White Tower in the Yolman.

In a special meeting room, the tower master and three other Formal Wizard were waiting for Levi.

"Greetings, Tower Master, and all the teachers." Levi's heart stirred.

With so many Formal Wizard gathered together, it seems there's something going on.

The tower master now seems no different from when Levi first met him.

But Levi knew that these were all appearances; beneath that false flesh and blood body lay the Alchemy body of the Tower Master.

"Sit down, Little Levi," said Teacher Mai Lin.

Levi sat obediently to one side, upright and waiting for the Formal Wizard to speak.

After a moment of silence, the tower master said, "Marco, you can speak."

Teacher Marco nodded and said seriously, "Levi, you should have heard of the Dread Realm, right?"

Levi nodded. "Yes, teacher, I learned some things in the general education course, but not much."

The Dread Realm is also a Land of the Faithless.

It is also located in subspace.

However, due to various strange and bizarre reasons, the Dread Realm did not have a large-scale gathering of wizards like the Azure Realm, and was therefore also known as the No Man's Land.

If the Azure Realm, a Land of the Faithless, is a giant subspace bubble, then around this subspace bubble, there are other bubbles of varying sizes floating around the Azure Realm.

Within these subspace bubbles, some are the Land of the Faithless from other schools of thought.

The other part is the deserted, Dread Realm.

"Here's the thing, a month from now, the entrance to a Dread Realm will intersect and overlap with the Azure Realm. The coordinates are in the high seas of this area. According to the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council's ' Strange Realm Peaceful Development Act,' apart from Black Wizard Organization and Black Wizard, all wizard organizations and wizards of all sizes in the vicinity are qualified to send people to explore this Dread Realm."

At the same time, according to the rules of the bill, in order to prevent large-scale civil war among Formal Wizard due to the uneven distribution of resources in the Dread Realm, thus weakening the vitality of the wizarding community.

Therefore, when exploring the Dread Realm, the strength of the wizards entering will be restricted according to the size and danger of the Dread Realm. At the same time, the principle is to advocate friendly mutual assistance and peaceful win-win exploration among wizards, and to avoid armed conflict.

The upcoming Dread Realm is called the "Black Mist Realm." According to the Dread Realm classification standards of the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council, it belongs to a small, low-risk Dread Realm, where the upper limit of the danger factor will not exceed the Second Ring.

Each qualified wizarding organization can only send one First-Circle Wizard to lead a team into this small, low-risk Dread Realm, along with no more than five Wizard Apprentice. There is room for fair competition among them.

This time, our Gray-White Tower Gray-White Tower got a spot, but we only have two First-Circle Wizard. Tim and I are going to the Tower of Stars for a year of advanced studies next month. These two advanced study spots are very precious, and the tower master doesn't want us to give them up.

We can't lead the team, and Granny Mai and the Tower Master are both in the Second Ring and don't qualify to enter.

Although the Dread Realm is dangerous, it also contains some rare resources that are not found in the Azure Realm because it is undeveloped.

There are many crucial resources that can only be found in the Dread Realm. For example, the Alchemy material "Stone Heart" needed by the Tower Master once appeared in the Black Mist Realm.

Levi, the Stone Heart is crucial to our Gray-White Tower. If the Tower Master possesses this material, he will have a high chance of successfully advancing to the Third Ring.

In this way, our Gray-White Tower will become Third-Ring Wizard power and will no longer need to depend on Whale Song Lonely Island for everything.

As for minor characters like the Ship of the Undead, they have an even greater chance of being wiped out in one fell swoop.

Therefore, I hope you can lead the team to the Dread Realm. All you need to do is find the Stone Heart. Once you find the Stone Heart, you can get a reward of 1,000 points in the tower or 500 Great Stone.

Apart from that, we will not inquire about any other resources you obtain in the Dread Realm, such as medicinal herbs or the magical artifacts of the deceased explorers.

You can choose five apprentices yourself, so that our six Wizard Apprentice going won't violate the rules of the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council.

Teacher Marco's expression was grave, as were the others.

Upon hearing the Stone Heart,"Levi had a rough idea of what the Tower Master wanted it for.

Alchemy Heart...

It's come to this point after all.

After listening, Levi did not rush to refuse.

He calmly asked, "Teachers, I understand what you are saying, but although I am Legendary Knight, my attack methods and knowledge are definitely not as good as those of the First-Circle Wizard leading other forces. I am afraid that I will not be able to complete the mission and will let you down."

The difference between one -First-Circle Wizard First-Circle Wizard not small. Mastering one First-Circle Spell is First Ring, and mastering seven or eight spells is also First Ring...

"Don't worry about that. We've already spoken with the wizard leading the Sighing Sea Breeze team. Once we enter the secret realm, that Formal Wizard will provide us with assistance to the best of his ability. We've always had a good relationship with the Sighing Sea Breeze team. If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, you can ask that wizard for help," Marco said.

"Alright, teachers, give me a month to think it over. Also, I need more detailed information about the Black Mist Realm Dread Realm." Levi didn't rush to refuse.

To be honest, he was indeed somewhat tempted by what was inside. However, he had never explored Dread Realm before, so he was a little unsure of himself.

"Alright, we won't force you to do this. After all, the reason it's called a 'Dread Realm Dread Realm ' is that it's definitely dangerous. When you get back these next few days, take a good look at the information about the Black Mist Realm," Marco said.

Levi nodded and, after receiving permission, left the seventh floor of the White Tower.

Inside the meeting room, the tower master sighed, "We still have too few Formal Wizard in our tower. It's really going too far to trouble this kid like this."

"Hmph, you old codger, you know that enough. Although Little Levi is Legendary Knight, other organizations will definitely send their most senior First-Circle Wizard to lead the team in order to get more rewards. Little Levi is at a huge disadvantage." Teacher Mai Lin's expression showed slight dissatisfaction.

She was not satisfied with the proposal put forward by these people.

"Master, if it really doesn't work out, let me go," Marco said.

The tower master shook his head. "Let's wait for Levi's response. I consulted a wizard who had entered the Black Mist Realm before, and he knows some more secret information about the Black Mist Realm."

The location of the Stone Heart is close to the center of the Black Mist Realm. There seems to be an indescribable power there that can disrupt a wizard's mental power and affect their spellcasting. That's why I wanted Levi to take action. In my opinion, if we really enter the center of the Black Mist Realm, those so-called senior wizards might not be a match for Levi.

Moreover, these two advanced study spots at the Tower of Stars were obtained by my teacher after much effort for our Gray-White Tower, so we cherish them immensely.

While the Demon Man Harant is weakened and unable to cause trouble, you should seize this time to further your studies and bring back more advanced knowledge from the Tower of Stars. This will greatly benefit our Gray-White Tower.

"Oh, right, Mai Lin, I have a magical artifact here. You can give it to Levi."

Suddenly, the tower master's left chest opened, revealing a beating heart connected to various Alchemy Prosthetic Alchemy Prosthetic made of different metals.

Next to the heart was a black ring.

It is engraved with complex and mysterious magical runes.

"This is the Wind Spirit Ring? This isn't your lover's..."

Mai Lin's expression changed slightly, and she looked somewhat puzzled.

The tower master took out the ring and closed the cover.

Then he said, "Yes, this is her ring. If what I'm about to do fails, then the ring can't be allowed to gather dust."

Although Levi hasn't been with the Gray-White Tower for long, he has already helped us a great deal on several occasions, and everyone unanimously passed his test. As Legendary Knight, his strength is quite good, but ultimately, he lacks variety in skills. This ring should be given to Levi; with it, Levi can make up for some of his shortcomings Knight."

The tower master looked somewhat melancholy; only he knew how difficult it would be to succeed in what he was about to do.

He had even made a series of arrangements for his funeral, including that if he died, Mai Lin would become the tower master.

"Okay, I'll take it. I'll return it to you if Levi doesn't go to the Dread Realm," Mai Lin sighed and said.

"It's alright. Whether you go or not, let Levi take it. It's just a First Ring witch artifact; I can afford to take it. I have nothing else to do here, everyone can leave now," the tower master said.

The wizards left one by one, and the tower master sat there alone, deep in thought.

After obtaining information about the Dread Realm Black Mist Realm.

Levi finished reviewing the information quickly.

According to the classification of the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council, Dread Realm are divided into small, medium, large, and extremely rare giant Dread Realm.

As a small-scale Dread Realm, the highest danger level within the Black Mist is only the Second Ring, with most areas actually not even at the First Ring.

Based on previous cases, even Wizard Apprentice have a fairly high survival rate if they are careful.

Of course, there have been cases of First-Circle Wizard dying inside, but the probability is not high.

However, the problem is that materials as precious as Stone Heart are probably not much different even if they are not in the core danger zone.

Moreover, the Stone Heart is not only Alchemy material, but also a material for making potions and magical artifacts; it is a true treasure of nature.

Levi believed that besides the tower owner, there must be others who also coveted this material.

This means that Levi is very likely to have conflicts with people from other organizations, which would pose a certain danger.

"However, according to the information, there is also a kind of extraordinary creature called the Black Flame Demon Bird living in the Black Mist Realm. This extraordinary creature is one of the few extraordinary creatures with the Phoenix Bloodline that I found out some time ago."

After all, not all Mythical Creature are like Dragonkind, with a whole host of hybrids and Dragon Spawn.

To date, very few extraordinary creatures with the Phoenix Bloodline have been identified through research.

The Black Flame Demon Bird is one of them.

This bird species used to be found in small numbers in some of the Land of the Faithless, but due to hunting by wizards, it eventually became almost extinct in the Land of the Faithless.

Only in some Dread Realm do the species still exist.

The Black Mist Realm is one of them.

Levi's idea was that if he could capture a Black Flame Demon Bird alive, he could then learn the beast-taming magic of the Spiritism School, tame the Black Flame Demon Bird, and completely solve the problem of the Secret Medicine for the Phoenix Breathing Technique.

In addition, the materials used to refine Meditation Technique aids may also exist in the Black Mist Realm.

In short, this place has risks, but also many opportunities.

So Levi was somewhat tempted.

"There's still a month until the entrance to the Dread Realm opens. If I become Legendary Knight this month, with my combat strength at that time, I should be fine if I'm careful."

Furthermore, they didn't force me to obtain the Stone Heart. If it was beyond my capabilities, I could simply give up. Given the Tower Master and Teacher Mai Lin's personalities, they probably wouldn't blame me; at most, I'd just miss out on the points reward.

When Levi repeatedly analyzed the pros and cons and decided whether or not to go.

Teacher Mai Lin also brought over the ring that the tower master had given to Levi.

"This is the Wind Spirit Ring, which was once the magic weapon of the Tower Master's lover. This ring itself is a Storage Tool, and its space should be larger than all the Storage Bag you have on you now. In addition, this ring has also solidified a spell that can be cast once a day."

The First-Circle Spell of the Storm School: Wind Spirit Protection.

After casting this spell, wind elements will gather around you, forming a Wind Storm Armor is strong enough to withstand most First-Circle Spell. Furthermore, wind spirits will lift you up, granting you a brief ability to fly, at a speed similar to my flight spell. Use it in critical moments; it should be enough to save your life in the Black Mist Realm.

Of course, if you don't want to go in, don't force yourself; the tower master won't force you.

Teacher Mai Lin looked at Levi, whose face was serious, and offered some words of comfort.

"Teacher, I will go, but I have one request," Levi said, taking a deep breath.

"What are the requirements?" Teacher Mai Lin asked.

"I want to go alone, without any apprentices," Levi said.

"Ah... although you are very strong individually, it would be better to have five High-Grade Wizard Apprentice assisting you than to be alone," Teacher Mai Lin said with a wry smile.

Levi shook his head, his expression resolute.

"Okay, no problem, I'll go talk to the tower master." Teacher Mai Lin said helplessly.

She handed the Wind Spirit Ring to Levi, told Levi the incantation, and then hurriedly left.

Levi watched his teacher leave, then fumbled for the Wind Spirit Ring and put it on his finger.

He felt that taking five Wizard Apprentice with him was more of a burden than a help, and that he would have to spare time to protect them.

Otherwise, if he takes five apprentices in and they all die inside, he won't be able to explain himself.

It's better to be single, without any worries.

Ultimately, the tower master agreed to Levi's request.

The exploration of the Dread Realm a month from now will be undertaken by Levi alone.

Levi devoted himself entirely to practicing the Black Snake Breathing Technique.

He aims to master the Black Snake Breathing Technique to its limit within a month.

Based on Levi's cultivation speed, the Black Snake Breathing Technique should have reached its limit by this month.

Levi has now put aside some other cultivation practices to focus on training the Black Snake, so the Black Snake's speed has increased rapidly.

The end of the Month of Origin.

One week before the entrance to the Dread Realm opens.

On a peaceful afternoon.

Levi successfully trained the Black Snake Breathing Technique to Eleventh Order.

Levi ————

Black Snake Breathing Technique: Eleventh Order (Limit), Special Effect: Black Scale (Solid State).

Levi finally became Legendary Knight.

It gave birth to its first Extraordinary Organ.

However, the location of this Extraordinary Organ was somewhat unexpected for Levi.

7000+ words, 1000 extra words added, 10000 words still owed.

If all goes well, updates will resume at 12 o'clock tomorrow.
