Black Sail Wizard Market.

The Black Sail Law Enforcement Council is the official body that maintains order in this market. It has always been led by Whale Song Lonely Island, with other Second-Ring Wizard organizations participating, each sending their own Wizard Apprentice to participate in joint enforcement.

The president of the Enforcement Council is theoretically a rotating position, but because other organizations do not have enough First-Circle Wizard, the president has long been the First-Circle Wizard of Whale Song Lonely Island, Ghost Eel Wizard · Hilkos.

Despite the criticisms from other wizarding organizations, they ultimately had no choice but to acquiesce due to the strength of Whale Song Lonely Island.

Silcos's face was now grim. "Hasn't they found Kolo's body yet?"

The enforcer before him, a young Wizard Apprentice, bowed his head and said, "No."

Silcos stared at the Soul Jade in his hand, which represented Kolo's soul and was now completely cracked.

This means that his eldest disciple, the High-Grade Wizard Apprentice he had raised, and the captain of the Whale Song Lonely Island enforcement team, Kolo, was actually dead.

"Keep searching, broaden the scope, investigate those who are close to Kolo. I want to see who dares to lay a hand on our law enforcement officers!" Silcos said coldly.

"Yes, Lord Silcos, I will send someone to investigate immediately."

Silcos watched his apprentice's departing figure, his face grim.

Kolo was his apprentice and also his henchman. Silcos was naturally aware that Kolo and others were causing trouble at the Black Sail Wizard Market.

But he tacitly agreed to all of this, since Kolo would give him Great Stone as a gift every year.

The reason why he, Silcos, was willing to leave Whale Song Lonely Island and come to this market to become the head of the law enforcement council was simply so that he could make some money here.

Now that his own crony, who was essentially profiting from his position, had been murdered, this was utterly blatantly offensive to Silcos.

He vowed that if he ever found out who the murderer was, he would make them regret ever being born.

Just as the Black Sail Law Enforcement Council secretly investigating the murderer.

Levi has left Black Sail Island.

He took a long detour to the sea and boarded the Dragon King Whale in a deserted area.

He stared solemnly at the flame mark on his chest.

Clearly, this is some kind of tracking mark, which should also be a type of magic, but this kind of magic is very obscure.

Generally, only wizards with important offspring would be willing to waste a spell slot to learn this spell, in order to protect their bloodline and descendants.

With this mark, a wizard can sense the location of his descendants. If a descendant is killed, the mark will transfer to the perpetrator, allowing the wizard to pinpoint the perpetrator's location and avenge his descendants.

This spell has no other function besides this one.

Therefore, normal wizards would not learn these things unless they have someone they care about.

Clearly, the Combustion Faction apprentice killed by Levi was most likely someone that the Fire Performer Kane cared about.

At first, Levi was a little flustered.

However, after investigating Kane's qualifications at the Black Sail Wizard Market, he felt somewhat relieved. The other party was not Second-Ring Wizard and was still within his control.

Fire Performer Kane.

Senior First Ring Wizard, lord of Black Fire Island, member of the Azure Fire Alliance, and guest Mentor of Whale Song Lonely Island...

He has many honors, and although he has not joined the wizarding organization, he is still a prominent figure in this sea area.

Levi never expected that the Mentor of the Combustion Faction that Manla helped her daughter find was him.

I overheard Manla complaining that he had paid 200 taels of Great Stone just for his daughter's tuition. And that's basically how most of the apprentices under the Teasing Fire Master got in; many paid even more in tuition Manla's daughter.

It's worth noting that when Levi joined the Gray-White Tower, he not only didn't pay tuition, but he also got some points from the tower for free.

There's no way around it; things are valued for their scarcity. In this Azure Realm, there are relatively few wizards of the Combustion Faction.

Fire Performer Kane, naturally used this identity to make a fortune.

"I guess that person already knows his son is dead, and he should also know my location. There's no use running away. I only have two paths in front of me: one is to remove this mark, and the other is to let Kane be dealt with."

Removing the mark? I don't know anything about it... I've never studied this kind of magic before, and a mark placed by First-Circle Wizard shouldn't be something a Intermediate Wizard Apprentice like me can handle. So, my only option is to kill Kane; that way, the mark will naturally disappear.

However, if I were to attack a Formal Wizard, I would risk being judged by the Wizard Tribunal of the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council. That would be a bit troublesome, and quite difficult indeed..."

Levi was a lawyer in his previous life, so he had studied all kinds of laws in the Wizard World, especially the Charter. He knew exactly what was illegal and what wasn't.

Outside of the Dread Realm, the life of a Formal Wizard cannot be easily taken away without authorization.

If there is any grudge between the two parties, it should, in principle, be handed over to the Wizard Tribunal trial.

Therefore, Levi cannot actively hunt down Kane at this time.

All Formal Wizard are members of the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council. Aside from exceptional cases like Dread Realm or Black Wizard, randomly killing a Formal Wizard member could lead to an investigation by the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council, causing Levi considerable trouble.

If Levi wants to survive in the Wizard World, he must abide by the rules of the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council.

Without absolute power, there is no such thing as absolute freedom. As Rousseau said, "Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains."

After much deliberation, Levi, who resembled Earl Silver Mountain, concluded that Kane had most likely already locked onto his coordinates through this mark. If he were to return to the Gray-White Tower, it might expose Levi true identity.

Unable to return to the Gray-White Tower, he had a sudden inspiration and took out the corpse of Green Ghost Carter and the corpse of the Rock Troll family from his Storage Ring.

He transformed into the image of a Wizard Apprentice from his memories of the Ship of the Undead. He planned to find a place to lie in wait, disguise himself as a member of the Ship of the Undead, and kill Kane, who might be seeking revenge, under the guise of Black Wizard.

This can serve to some extent to deceive people, and even if an investigation is conducted, people will likely assume that the Ship of the Undead is the one causing the trouble.

Anyway, Levi has Hundred Faces, Thousand Forms, and can change his appearance at will. Unless he is locked on by this tracking mark, Levi can get away by changing his appearance.

Of course, if the Pan-dimensional world Wizards Council were to use more advanced magic to investigate the truth of the matter, or even see through Levi's disguise, then Levi would be powerless, as he was merely a Wizard Apprentice.

In short, Levi has no better options at the moment. The current situation is that Kane has most likely identified him, and although he killed Kane's son in self-defense, Kane certainly won't believe him.

Similarly, Levi did not intend to hand this matter over to the Wizard Tribunal.

Because of this tracking mark, it can be objectively proven that Levi did indeed kill the Kane's Son. Otherwise, this specific tracking mark could not have ended up on Levi. Wizards may lie, but objective magic generally does not lie.

Levi had investigated some cases, and in many similar cases in the Wizard Tribunal, the Tribunal used this kind of tracking mark to prove that the suspect was the murderer and thus convict him.

Although Levi's actions constituted legitimate self-defense, he lacked evidence and his words were insufficient proof.

He didn't have the kind of magic or props that could record the scene. Otherwise, if he had used magic to objectively record the situation, according to the rules of the law, Levi would at most have been guilty of excessive self-defense, and shouldn't have been severely punished.

Given the current situation, if the matter reaches the Wizard Tribunal, then, considering Kane's status and position as Formal Wizard, the Wizard Tribunal will likely side with Kane. Going to the Wizard Tribunal on your own is like walking into a trap.

The solution Levi has come up with so far, although it may violate the laws of the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council and risk turning him into Black Wizard, is one that Levi has no other choice about.

If things really get to the worst point, he can only pin his hopes on the Gray-White Tower to protect himself.

If all else fails, Levi can hide back in the Mortal World and come back after the statute of limitations for the case has expired.

When faced with indecision, retreat back to the Mortal World.

According to the law, the statute of Wizard Tribunal -First-Circle Wizard's death is generally one year.

If the murderer is not found a year later, the Wizard Tribunal will not waste judicial resources investigating the death of a mere First-Circle Wizard.

At that time, unless Levi, the murderer, turned himself in, no one would care about Kane's death.

With that in mind, Levi found a deserted island and took out the corpses of the Rock Troll family of four and the Green Ghost Carter. He injected all the Undead Core into the bodies of these five corpses and then hid them in the seawater, ready to be deployed at any time.

Fire Performer Kane is no less powerful than Green Ghost Carter in his prime. Although Levi is now Legendary Knight, he cannot be careless.

He must do everything in his power to eliminate the Fire Performer Kane cleanly and efficiently, and absolutely not let him escape.

After making these preparations, Levi rested and recuperated on the island, adjusting himself to his best condition.

The Spider Sense a faint danger, but perhaps because the source of the danger was too far away, the feeling wasn't very strong.

Time passed day by day.

On the seventh day, as the sensation grew stronger, Levi knew that the Fire Performer Kane had arrived, just as he had predicted.

A fiery red blanket floated in mid-air and slowly arrived at the island.

Five people stood on the blanket, exuding an imposing aura.

The leader, dressed in a flame-patterned robe, with fiery red curly hair and even red eyebrows, exuded the powerful aura of Formal Wizard. His face was ashen as he looked down at a green-robed Wizard Apprentice sitting alone on the island and said, "Do you know who I am?"

Levi raised his head and shook it. "I don't know."

Fire Performer Kane, sneered, "You killed my son, and you don't know who I am? Why did you kill my son?"

Levi said expressionlessly, "My Ship of the Undead operates without needing to explain to you."

"That's arrogant enough. I know you're definitely not from the Ship of the Undead. Their people, when they do something bad, just run away instead of sitting on the island waiting for me."

"Too many people have committed atrocities in this sea under the guise of the Ship of the Undead. I don't care who you are. Anyway, whoever you are, you killed my son, and I must roast you in the flames of Black Fire Island, devour your flesh and suck your marrow, only then can I vent my hatred!"

Kane didn't waste any words; he directly ordered his four Wizard Apprentice to attack Levi.

The four Wizard Apprentice —two High-Grade Wizard Apprentice and two Intermediate Wizard Apprentice —were all from the Combustion Faction. So, their first move was to unleash four small fireballs that shot towards Levi, creating a rather intimidating display.

Levi wielded the Viper Wand, his body protected by Undead Bone Armor. At the same time, he moved, his speed as Tenth Rank Blood Beast far surpassing that of a wizard who did not use any spells.

He dodged the fireballs one by one.

A burst of Soul Flame shot towards one of the Intermediate Wizard Apprentice.

Since Levi is going to pretend to be a member of the Ship of the Undead, he should go all the way. That way, when the investigators from the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council come later, they can also identify Levi as a member of the Ship of the Undead based on the remaining traces of magic.

At the same time, Levi muttered something to himself.

He had already pushed it to the Fourth-Order Limit during this time. The Wither Ray, far more powerful than the Water Arrow Technique, emitted a gray withering light and hurtled towards Kane on the blanket.

Kane sneered, and with a wave of his wand, a shield of flames protected him, blocking the Wither Ray attack.

"How dare you! To lay a hand on a Formal Wizard, you must have something to rely on." Kane quickly chanted a spell and waved his wand.

First-Circle Spell: Fireball Technique.

A fireball with a diameter of two meters hurtled toward Levi.

Seeing this, Levi immediately summoned the Rock Troll family and Green Ghost Carter, who were hiding nearby, along with their summoned Hell Warrior.

Kane's expression changed the moment Green Ghost Carter appeared with Hell Warrior.

"Green Ghost Carter, you people from the Ship of the Undead, why did you lay a hand on my son? Bullying the weak, how shameless! Bah!"

Green Ghost Carter naturally didn't respond.

At this moment, the Fire Performer Kane realized that the Green Ghost Carter's face was stiff and he had no trace of life; he was clearly dead.

In an instant, he realized.

"You actually killed Green Ghost Carter? How is that possible? I couldn't even beat him!"

Fire Performer Kane, is well aware of how powerful Green Ghost Carter is.

Because he had fought against Green Ghost Carter before, and Green Ghost Carter ultimately won slightly, leaving Kane with no choice but to flee.

So when he saw Green Ghost Carter, his first instinct was to run away.

The person in front of him, who appeared to be Intermediate Wizard Apprentice, possessed a true strength far exceeding his expectations.

Could it be that some powerful Second-Ring Wizard wizard is deliberately hiding his strength, playing that boring game of pretending to be weak while actually being strong? If he can kill the Green Ghost Carter and turn him into a puppet, then if he continues fighting, he might end up killing himself.

Thinking about this, Kane, who had only been playing for a short while and hadn't even warmed up, started to have second thoughts.

He felt it would be more appropriate to file a complaint with the Wizard Tribunal...

It's safer to let their people do it than to do it yourself.

As soon as the Rock Troll appeared, it easily tore through the magical defenses and bodies of the Wizard Apprentice.

Especially the six-meter-tall male Rock Troll; none of the Wizard Apprentice ' tricks could break its defenses. In front of it, they collapsed like clay chickens and earthenware dogs.

Having killed the Wizard Apprentice, the Rock Troll couple, and the Hell Warrior controlled by the Green Ghost Carter, they all charged towards the Fire Performer Kane, who was trying to escape.

Fire Performer Kane, riding the blanket, realized that discretion is the better part of valor. He began to flee from the heart, no longer caring about avenging his son. What was his son's life compared to his own?

Levi wasn't about to let him escape; over there, Green Ghost Carter used the powerful First-Circle Spell, Hellfire Rain, to block Kane's movement.

Unfortunately, the Rock Troll's strength was greatly reduced in the ocean, and it was unable to cast many Spell-like Abilities.

If they were on land, this Rock Troll couple alone would be enough to give Kane a run for his money.

Levi sang softly, and the Wind Spirit Ring shimmered with magical runes.

A gentle breeze came and protected Levi, who rode the wind to pursue Kane.

Kane's blanket was not as fast as Levi's Wind Spirit Ring, and Levi quickly caught up with it.

Levi, wielding the Sea King Halberd, his Blood Wing fluttering, burst forth from the Wind Spirit Protection, the trident hurtling towards Kane.

Kane knew this battle was inevitable, so he stopped running away.

The blanket protected him, its magical runes flashing, blocking Levi's halberd strike.

Kane had already completed the spell while he was inside the blanket.

The blanket unfurled, and a massive fireball, three meters in diameter, suddenly formed and hurtled towards Levi.

First-Circle Spell: Greater Fireball Technique! The Combustion Faction's trump card spell! "They really are from the same family, both of them like to use Greater Fireball Technique to bombard people." Levi did not hesitate to use the First-Circle Spell of the Giant Squid Ring: Giant Demon Surround.

A dense aura of water elemental power gathered around Levi, and eight transparent, suction-cup-like water tentacles tightly encircled Levi. At the same time, Black Scale emerged beneath Levi's robes.

Although Levi felt that his Solid Black Scale and Flame Body should be able to block this Greater Fireball Technique, he always preferred to play it safe, so he did not hesitate to use the Giant Demon Surround.

The Greater Fireball Technique exploded around Levi, enveloping Levi in countless flames. On the sea, white steam rose, as if a small sun was rising from the sea.

Kane's expression turned cold. The bracelet on his right hand lit up, and magical runes flickered. Kane was chanting a new spell. Faced with such a powerful enemy, he had to use all his strength.

This bracelet is also a magical artifact that can automatically attract and gather the fire elemental power around the caster, amplifying the power of Combustion Faction spells. Moreover, the spell is solidified on it. This is a magical artifact that Kane specially commissioned Artifact Forging to make to adapt to the environment of the Endless Sea.

After all, in the Azure Realm, the power of fire element is far less than in the Crimson Realm he was born.

A fiery serpent coiled around Kane before finally whistling as it flew toward the fireball.

First-Circle Spell: Fire Serpent Dance! Kane is always a cautious man and never underestimates his opponents.

That's why he was able to thrive even in the territory of the Oceanic School.

Amidst the flames of the explosion.

Levi's strongest defensive spell, the Giant Demon Surround, was shattered by the Greater Fireball Technique.

The B-level defense strength of the Giant Demon Surround ultimately couldn't withstand the A-level attack strength of the Greater Fireball Technique.

The remaining flames poured onto Levi, Levi was now surrounded by Frost Arm, his Flame Body, and his Black Scale closed!

Even with Levi Flame Body's fire element resistance.

He could feel the intense heat scorching him.

He exhaled a mouthful of crimson flame.

It was like letting out a burp.

Kane looked as if he had seen a ghost.

He looked at the Black Scale Levi bathed in flames and said coldly.

"Lizardmen? No, you're Legendary Knight? Who exactly are you?!"

"I don't believe it! Legendary Knight could actually withstand my Greater Fireball Technique and Fire Serpent Dance? That's impossible!"

As a high-ranking wizard, Kane naturally looked down on Knight, even the Legendary Knight were extremely rare in legends. Although he had never seen them, he still disdained them.

In his view, Legendary Knight might be able to fight to a draw with an ordinary First-Circle Wizard, but he would never be a match for him.

He was a seasoned wizard, the Fire Performer Kane! Without uttering a sound, Levi's body, engulfed in flames and black smoke, plummeted into the sea from the inferno.

Kane's face was grim as he stared intently down below, while a new spell was already prepared to deliver the final blow to Levi at any moment.

If this person is only at this level, then he is indeed no match for me, since I still have trump cards up my sleeve. It seems that there was someone else behind Green Ghost Carter's death.

The next moment, a whirlpool surged in the sea, and a colossal creature leaped out of the water, while a terrifying column of water gushed out at the same time, arriving in an instant!

Dragon King Breath!

Leviathan suddenly appeared! Kane was hit by the unexpected Dragon King Breath.

His robes flashed with magical runes, barely managing to block the attack.

On the head of the Dragon King Whale, a strange figure appeared, holding a trident, with Evil Spirit emerging behind him, three heads and six arms, each wielding nine swords!

Levi used the seawater to suppress the fire spell, and with the thrust of Leviathan, he burst out, his nine swords spinning, his trident piercing the air, and the Ice-Fire Twin Dragon Convergence together, magnificent and dazzling!

"Die!" This strike was something Levi had been preparing for a long time.

"You're the one who'll die! Die! With this strike, no matter what Legendary Knight you are, you're doomed!"

As if he had made up his mind, fireballs began to appear one after another in front of Kane, and fire elements gathered around him.

Finally, a total of five massive fireballs appeared in front of Kane!

Second-Ring Spell: Five Fireball Technique! A powerful attack composed of five Greater Fireball Technique! A massive, unavoidable barrage of fireballs swept in.

Levi sensed a terrifying heat gathering ahead.

At the same time, the Rock Troll family of four, who had been waiting in the wings, and Green Ghost Carter's Hell Warrior all rushed up.

He blocked the main attack of five fireballs for Levi! The little Rock Troll was burned to a crisp in the flames and fell into the sea.

Even the Rock Troll couple were severely injured and fell into the sea.

Green Ghost Carter's newly summoned Hell Warrior has died again, and Green Ghost Carter's reputation in Hell has decreased by one point once more.

Relying on the desperate protection of these Living Dead, Levi, covered in Black Scale, his body Karmic Fire Burning Body, protected by Frost Arm, and with a single twitch of his Ostrich Foot, rose up from the ground!

The Asura Nine Swords pierced through the aftershocks of the flames, slicing open a flameless passage!

Levi, wielding his trident, pierced through the blanket protecting Kane with Golden Cross Slash!

Kane's expression changed drastically.

This [Flame Blanket] is his most powerful magical artifact, combining flight and defense functions.

Even First-Circle Spell would find it difficult to break through one's defenses.

A mere Legendary Knight can break through my defenses? What kind of combat skills are these? Good heavens, this is nothing like Knight's! The Sea King Halberd Sea King Halberd indestructible, forged entirely of Sun Gold, and Levi is not worried about it being damaged.

Pfft

The blanket has a tear.

"No!"

Kane was a steady man his whole life, but he was still somewhat careless when facing Levi.

Nine Swords Asura stood behind Levi, his nine swords flying and slicing through the Breaking Void!

Click, click, click...

Kane's carefully constructed magical defenses were broken through layer by layer, and the spells lit up again and again.

Kane, who understands the importance of prudence, also built up a lot of defenses, just like Levi.

However, once Levi got close, it marked his defeat.

Red Lotus Blood, Explode!

At Levi's heart, the Red Lotus Seed erupted like magma, its gaping maw releasing gushing crimson lava blood that flowed through Levi's limbs and bones. Levi's entire body turned crimson, his blood vessels transforming into channels of magma. Levi's body was like an erupting volcano! He was bathed in flames, and his power surged!

All attributes are taking off again!

Nine Swords Form + Red Lotus Form! Levi only used the Nine Swords Form when dealing with Green Ghost Carter.

The Black Qi swords of the three-headed, six- Evil Spirit transformed into blazing swords! The rage of the Red Lotus incinerated everything! "Break!"

With a devastating strike! The Sea King Halberd pierced through with dazzling light! Nine swords wielded Red Lotus flames!

Kane's magical defenses were completely torn apart by the Nine Swords Asura Evil Spirit that had gone into overdrive! Taking advantage of the situation, Levi's Sea King Halberd pierced through Kane's heart, shredded it, and pierced a large hole.

The blood of the Teasing Fire Master spills across the sea! Levi expertly collects Kane's spoils.

Let the Holy Armor Scorpion devour Kane's soul.

He then embalmed Kane's body and buried it on the island.

Levi dared not carry the corpse of such a member of the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council on his person.

If the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council had planted a location mark similar to that of the Kane's Son within Kane's body, then Levi carrying it would be suicidal! After this experience with Kane, Levi will be even more cautious.

There are so many strange and wonderful spells in this world, you must not be careless!

He plans to come back to the island in a year or two.

If Kane's body hadn't been taken away at that time.

This means that the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council did not investigate Kane's death, or that the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council could not find Kane's body.

By then, the statute of limitations had expired, and Levi could have turned Kane's body into Living Dead.

With Fire Performer Kane and Green Ghost Carter as his left and right protectors, plus the Rock Troll, the final lineup of Levi 'Seven Demon Generals will be more than half complete!

At that time, they will be virtually invincible below the Second Ring! This will be accompanied by Kane's death.

The tracking mark Kane left on Levi's chest completely disappeared.

Levi checked himself over and found no other strange marks, which relieved him.

He retrieved the bodies of the Rock Troll couple who had fallen into the sea. The adult Rock Troll had strong defenses, comparable to his own Solid Black Scale. Although they were injured after taking a Greater Fireball Technique, they could still continue to use their abilities.

The two little Rock Troll had turned into a pile of charcoal and were completely unusable.

He sighed. He had wanted to reunite the family, but it was all that damned Kane's fault!

Levi then extracted the energy core from the dead Hell Warrior's body and erased all traces on the battlefield that could potentially reveal his Legendary Knight identity, leaving only traces of the Ship of the Undead spell to confuse the public.

After completing these tasks, Levi changed his appearance and rode away on the Dragon King Whale.

Along the way, to avoid being followed, Levi took some detours and changed his appearance several times.

Finally, three days later, he returned safely to the Gray-White Tower as Levi.

In this battle, Levi slew another Senior First Ring Wizard.

The way of Knight holds great promise! It's evident in that wizard, Kane.

Levi reaped a great harvest.

The harvest of Great Stone alone far exceeded any previous harvest, amounting to a full six thousand Great Stone!

Rich, the Wizard Kane is incredibly rich! Rich and generous! One harvest is almost equivalent to the harvest of one of Levi's explorations of the Dread Realm.

Kane makes a lot of money just from tuition fees, so it's perfectly normal for him to have so much money.

It's said that he used various pretexts to collect tuition fees from his apprentices, and he also frequently gave lectures to earn extra money. Since there weren't many Combustion Faction wizards in the Azure Realm, even if Kane was wrong, no one would know. In this way, Kane swindled and exploited his apprentices, making a considerable amount of money.

So Manla always looked worried, concerned about her daughter's tuition fees.

"Sigh, I wonder how Manla is doing."

Levi suddenly realized that if he killed Kane, Manla's daughter would have a problem getting into school.

But he couldn't care less about that now.

This situation was too unexpected, and Levi had no choice but to do this in order to save his life.

Besides the Great Stone, an offensive magical artifact, the [Fire Serpent Ring], was also found on Kane.

This is a witchcraft artifact shaped like an ouroboros bracelet.

You can cast the First-Circle Spell, Fire Serpent Dance, through the bracelet! Besides that, it should have other uses, but Levi hasn't figured them out yet.

Levi put it away for the time being, to be used later.

He looked at the blanket with a large hole in it, his face showing regret.

Kane's blanket was the most valuable magical artifact he possessed.

First Ring artifact: Flame Blanket.

This Flame Blanket is made from the fur of a rare First Ring transcendent sea beast. It has extremely strong defensive capabilities and can withstand the impact of ordinary First-Circle Spell. It even has two spells solidified on it: [Blazing Fire Shroud] and [Fire Dance in the Sky], one a defensive spell and the other a flight spell.

If placed in the Star Ring Store, this Flame Blanket would easily sell for at least a thousand Great Stone.

Unfortunately, the Flame Blanket was punctured by Levi's Sea King Halberd, but it wasn't a major injury and should still be repairable. However, perhaps only a specialized Artifact Forging could successfully repair it.

Levi could only put it away for the time being and see if he could find a way to repair it later.

The final gains were Meditation Technique, spellbooks, and Casting Material.

The most common Meditation Technique in the Combustion Faction is the "Sun Meditation Technique," which is similar to Levi's "Deep Sea Meditation Technique" and "Earth Meditation Technique." They are the most basic, but also the most practical and time-tested Meditation Technique.

Kane's "Sun Meditation Technique" is much more comprehensive than the one Levi bought from the Star Ring Store.

The book includes content from the Apprentice Chapter, the First Ring Chapter, and even the Second Ring Chapter, so Levi doesn't have to worry about the subsequent Combustion Faction Meditation Technique.

Aside from the magic tricks he looked down on, Levi immediately noticed the magic books he had been eyeing for a long time.

Fireball Technique, Greater Fireball Technique, Five Fireball Technique.

The first two are both First-Circle Spell, but they differ in strength.

The last one is a genuine Second-Ring Spell.

If it weren't for his own Living Dead shielding him from the main impact, he wouldn't have been confident he could withstand the Five Fireball Technique, with its five massive fireballs hurtling towards him.

The Combustion Faction focuses on attack, so if Levi wants to learn Combustion Faction spells, he will definitely learn attack-related spells.

For defensive spells, you can learn the Ocean Faction and Earth Faction.

It's worth mentioning that Levi also obtained a crimson scroll, which is similar to the scroll used by the Kane's Son, except that the pattern on this scroll is not a large fireball, but five fireballs.

This is a one-time spell scroll that has solidified Second-Ring Spell! Second Ring item, the Five Fireball Technique scroll!

Spell scrolls are often quite valuable, since even Wizard Apprentice who possesses one can cast Second-Ring Spell spells without needing Casting Material or consuming Art Power, as long as they know how to chant the incantation.

This differs from the spells solidified on magical artifacts, which still require the consumption of Art Power.

If Art Power is insufficient, one cannot cast the solidified spells on it. Therefore, even though Levi has now obtained a Second Ring magical artifact, he is unable to activate the solidified spells on it.

These one-time use spell scrolls are very expensive to make.

Besides the high cost of materials, the most important reason is that these disposable spell scrolls often require the creator to consume their spiritual energy.

Making one or two is fine, but making too many might cause the creator's mental strength to regress instead of improve, and the upper limit of mental strength to keep falling. It's like sacrificing one's own cultivation to make these one-time spell scrolls.

Therefore, Formal Wizard would only create such magical items for the protection of those they truly care about.

After sorting through Fire Performer Kane's spoils, Levi's number of Great Stone also exceeded ten thousand.

"I went out and spent so much money, but when I came back, I actually made a profit. How come I can't spend all this money?" Levi couldn't help but laugh.

However, after this battle, he understood.

With his current strength, dealing with Senior First Ring Wizard is not a problem, but it is still not enough to completely overwhelm him, and there is still a risk involved.

Therefore, Levi cannot be careless.

Because these Senior First Ring Wizard have mastered Second-Ring Spell models, if pushed too far, they will forcefully use Second-Ring Spell, which poses a particularly great threat to Levi.

"Before advancing to the level of Formal Wizard, I still need to try to master more Breathing Technique to enhance my self-defense capabilities."

"After sparring with the Empire's Fist, I need to go into seclusion for a while. Right now, I lack nothing—no money, no magical artifacts, no Meditation Technique, no spellbooks. I lack nothing except cultivation."

"Even if I kill Kane, I don't know if the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council will be able to find out that it was me who did it."

Levi still had some concerns. He felt that if the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council really used mid-level or even High-Rank Wizard to investigate this matter, given their magical abilities, they would likely be able to find out about him.

As far as Levi knew, there was a type of high-level magic that could even replay events that had occurred in a region in the recent past. If someone who possessed this magic tried to investigate, they might be exposed.

Of course, this is unlikely. High-Rank Wizard are few in number, and they usually hold high positions in the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council, busy with their magical research or interdimensional travel.

The Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council wouldn't bother such a powerful entity over the death of a mere First-Circle Wizard.

This is similar to a cultivation world where a Qi Refining Stage cultivator from a certain sect dies, and the Nascent Soul ancestor is dispatched to thoroughly investigate the cause of death.

So Levi stopped being paranoid and scaring himself all the time.

He's already killed people, what else can we do?

In that situation, if he hadn't killed Kane, he would have been the one to suffer.

I have been as discreet and cautious as possible. If anyone is to blame, it is Kane's good-for-nothing son, who actually tried to harm me.

Think about this.

Levi then returned to his normal spiritual practice.

It took less than half a month.

His period of weakness after using the Red Lotus Blood has passed.

At the same time, Levi Weixin began to understand the basics of Sun Meditation Technique.

This speed was something Levi couldn't even imagine when he first learned the Deep Sea Meditation Technique.

Levi ————

Sun Meditation Technique: First Order (1/1000)

As Levi Xiuxing mastered more and more Meditation Technique and acquired an affinity talent like the Dance of the Fire God, the speed at which he learned new Meditation Technique also increased.

Therefore, talent and skill are really important.

It would be even better if there were Meditation Potion that could aid in the practice of Meditation Technique.

The year 1021 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowers.

The time for the sparring match between Levi and the Empire's Fist has arrived, and so far, no one from the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council has come knocking, which has given Levi a temporary sense of relief.

He adjusted himself to peak condition and then set off.

The uninhabited sea area located between the Gray-White Tower and the Sighing Sea Breeze.

A tiny island peeking out from the sea.

The night was as still as water, and the sea was calm.

The waves crashed against the rocks on the shore.

The Empire's Fist sat patiently on a giant rock on the deserted island. His imposing body seemed as stable as the rock beneath his feet, remaining unmoved despite the crashing waves.

On the shimmering sea in the distance, the Dragon King Whale cuts through the waves, and the Knight Levi rides the waves.

"You've arrived."

"I am coming."

Are you ready?

"Of course it's good."

"Before you stands the Tuva Empire, the Storm Destroyer, the Legendary Knight, Mu Di! May I ask what your Legendary Realm title is, Lord Levi?"

"I have no Legendary Realm title, just an Nameless. If I had to name one, then... I'd call myself Extremity Knight. By the way, weren't you Stormborn? How did you become the Storm Destroyer?"

"That's all in the past. From now on, I am no longer the Empire's Fist. I am simply Mu Di, the Grave Digger of the Storm Church! Speaking of which, the title of Extremity Knight is quite fitting. You and I are both the pinnacle of Knight. I think it's not too much to call each other friends, is it?"

"Haha, of course it's possible. I think 'fellow Daoist' sounds better than 'friend'."

"Fellow Daoist?"

"Yes."

"Fellow Daoist... interesting. In that case, Fellow Daoist, please enlighten me in this battle!"

"Come forth, Legendary Realm battle!"

Levi stepped on the Dragon King Whale and leaped dozens of meters to the island, his whole body like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey! Mu Di laughed loudly, he pounded his chest, and a thunderous boom resounded, like the sound of war drums echoing throughout the entire place.

He rose abruptly from the ground, and the island seemed to tremble; the boulder beneath his feet crumbled into rubble.

Levi's body was covered with layers of Black Scale, his forked tongue flickered, and a chill permeated the air! "Black Scale, I have never seen such Black Qi in the Tuva Empire."

Mu Di's expression was calm. Countless black hairs emerged from the surface of his body, his back seemed to have become broader, and his chest deeper.

He almost transformed into the appearance of a giant black ape.

"The Breathing Technique I practice is called the Holy Ape Breathing Technique! In ancient times, only the Red Lotus Breathing Technique of the Red Lotus Family could rival it. Since you have been able to cultivate to the Legendary Realm, your ancestral Breathing Technique must not be Nameless either."

Mu Di, resembling a giant black ape, clenched his fist and collided with Levi's Black Scale fist.

Levi didn't want to reveal too many of his Breathing Technique techniques to Mu Di, since Mu Di, unlike other enemies, truly understood the way of the Knight. Therefore, Levi hadn't used any other Breathing Technique until now, fighting entirely with the Eleventh Order Black Snake Breathing Technique.

A clash of the Legendary Realm, a display of boundless heroism! Levi laughed loudly, his aura soaring to the heavens.

"Mu Di, you still don't understand. The quality of Breathing Technique means nothing. Past glories will also come to an end. You may also feel that in the way of Knight, Legendary Realm is not the ultimate goal. I, the Extremity Knight Levi, am absolutely unwilling to be just Legendary Knight. I want to use my Knight body to chase after wizards and stand shoulder to shoulder with gods!"

Mu Di, I wish to establish an organization called the Twilight Knight Order.

After this battle, I would like to invite you to join this organization so we can exchange ideas and grow together.

So far, there are only the Blood Knight and me in this organization.

"Mu Di, will you accept my invitation?"

The two muscular men fought fiercely, locked in a tense and exhilarating brawl.

Levi has gradually come to accept Mu Di as a person. During the great battle, Levi had an idea: he wanted to build a force, a force composed entirely of Legendary Knight. He wanted to invite more like-minded Legendary Knight to exchange Legendary Realm experiences and Breathing Technique with each other, in order to seek more possibilities for breakthroughs!

"Very good, you're arrogant enough to actually want to break through that Legendary Realm barrier. Levi, I, Mu Di, also acknowledge you! I will join the Twilight Knight Order. By the way, is the Blood Knight also in this organization? Wasn't he dead? Can you take me to see him? He was my idol when I was a child!" Mu Di looked incredulous.

While punching, Levi said without changing his expression, "That's right, the Blood Knight is also inside, but he's in the Mortal World."

Levi didn't care whether the old man Anderson agreed or not; he just wanted to get him on board first. The title of Blood Knight was something he couldn't compare to.

Moreover, that old man would definitely love to join such a Legendary Knight exchange organization.

So Levi acted first and informed Li Wei later.

"Alright, enough talk, let's fight seriously! I'm going to unleash my power!" Mu Di said, his body swelling again, his ape-like form Shake Mountains and Earth, his extremely oppressive fist breaking through.

"Well done!" Levi's Solid Black Scale emitted a metallic clang, and he transformed into a noisy machine! The Black Scale fist and the black-haired giant hand collided again, and an invisible shockwave stirred up sand and dust, making the island fly with smoke.

Levi's defense was stronger, while Mu Di's power was greater. Although Mu Di's attacks were fierce, Levi always managed to neutralize them. The two had their own strengths and weaknesses, and for a time, it was difficult to determine who was superior.

However, Levi has not yet used the Golden Cross Slash, nor has he used the Nine Swords Form.

Moreover, as the night deepens, the special effects of [Night's Favored] gradually improve, and by midnight, one's condition will reach its peak under normal conditions.

So far, Levi has only been engaging in tentative exchanges with Mu Di.

The two nimbly maneuvered across the island, leaving a trail of destruction and flying debris in their wake.

On this vast Endless Sea, in solitude and loneliness, a rare and intense battle between two Legendary Knight unfolded without any spectators.

If this were on Mortal World, what a dazzling and unparalleled battle this would be! A momentous event worthy of being recorded in history, celebrated by countless bards! Alas, this is the Wizard World.

Compared to the proud, powerful, and busy wizards.

Legendary Knight? What's that?

At this moment, a sense of mutual appreciation, a feeling of kinship between the Legendary Realm appreciating Legendary Realm, arose spontaneously between Levi and Mu Di, who were both struggling at the bottom of the Wizard World.

Even tough guys like Levi and Mu Di have tender hearts!

These two Legendary Realm, both insignificant and extraordinary, clashed time and again, their battles ending in a draw, their superiority uncertain.

Levi could tell that Mu Di had also learned quite a few Breathing Technique, but they were all rudimentary, non- Bloodline Breathing Technique. Mu Di seemed to want to learn other Breathing Technique techniques to become Polygon Warrior or break through to the Legendary Realm.

Unfortunately, he didn't have Proficiency Panel and couldn't break through the shackles of his bloodline. So Levi didn't use other Breathing Technique like Red Lotus or Blood Beast to bully Mu Di. Bullying fellow Daoists like that would be pointless.

The battle continued, and as the night deepened, Levi's body was forced to grow stronger under the Night's Favored effect.

He really didn't want to become stronger, but this passive effect left him no choice.

On the other hand, Mu Di was finding it increasingly difficult.

As midnight approached, Levi sighed inwardly, then burst into laughter, his fighting spirit soaring. His Golden Ripple Palm, which had already withdrawn its power, directly shattered Mu Di's black fur, Mu Di flying backward, spitting blood, and landing in the sea.

Levi noticed that Mu Di's blood seemed to have a faint golden hue. He didn't say anything, but instead smiled and said...

"I won this battle today!"

At this moment, in his peak state as the [Night's Favored], Levi unleashed his Golden Ripple Divine Palm, striking the island with all his might.

A snap.

Ripples spread outwards, cracks spread like a spider web, and seawater poured in.

The island has cracked.

Holy Ape Mu Di vs. Black Snake Levi!
