On the sea.

Levi, panting heavily, paused for a moment before saying, "Thanks, Yolman. You don't mind if I take this man's things, do you?"

Yolman shook his head.

Levi put the Second-Ring Wizard's broken remains into his Storage Bag, and then picked up the wizard's Storage Tool, as well as the strange little flags and plates scattered on the sea.

He discovered that these seemingly inconspicuous flags and plates were covered with all sorts of magical runes that he couldn't understand at all.

"Could this be... something used in magic arrays?" Levi wasn't sure either. He had never seen this thing before. The only magic array he had ever seen was the one in the Gray-White Tower, but that magic array was a large-scale magic array specially customized for wizard organizations, and it was definitely different from this kind of magic array.

Regardless of what they were, Levi collected them all and put them in his Storage Bag. Then, he rode the Dragon King Whale and returned to the Gray-White Tower with Yolman.

By this time, Teacher Mai Lin had returned. The battle on the Tower Master's side was over, and as Third Ring powerhouse, it was only a matter of time before he dealt with the three Second Ring Black Wizard.

Mai Lin felt guilty because she hadn't caught that damned, lost sorcerer and let him escape.

"It's alright, Mai Lin. That person is a magic array wizard after all. He's proficient in magic arrays, so killing him will be very difficult. Even I was trapped by his magic array for quite a while," the tower master comforted Mai Lin, who looked a little depressed.

"Sigh, if we kill this Second Ring Black Wizard, we can apply for more bounty from the Tower of Stars after the Sea Beast Tide has passed."

Although the Gray-White Tower suffered few casualties during this Sea Beast Tide, its reserves of Great Stone were nearly depleted due to the costly activation of the large-scale magic array—a fatal blow for any wizarding organization. The tower's daily expenses all require Great Stone, and with the official shop in the nearby wizarding market also closed due to the Sea Beast Tide, the Gray-White Tower lost its source of income. The Great Stone earned solely from apprentices was clearly insufficient.

"It's alright. Harant alone is worth 20,000 Great Stone at the Tower of Stars. Add to that the three Second-Ring Wizard, and that's a bounty of 50,000 Great Stone. Moreover, these people also have quite a few Great Stone in their Storage Bag. I've roughly calculated that these Great Stone are enough to make up for our losses over this period of time."

Harant knows how to offer help in times of need, providing warmth to the Gray-White Tower at the most crucial moment.

Fortunately, the Tower Master had anticipated this. He had long been familiar with Harant's old rival's tactics, so he did not reveal that he was directly advancing to the Third Ring. Otherwise, given Harant's personality, he definitely wouldn't have come if he hadn't reached the Third Ring.

Finally, Levi and Yolman returned to the tower. Levi went to the White Tower and placed the Second-Ring Wizard's mangled corpse and Storage Bag in front of Mai Lin and the tower master.

"This is Pinoz... you killed him?" Mai Lin exclaimed, clearly finding it unbelievable.

Levi shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I've been tracking this person and know where he's hiding. I cooperated with Yolman to kill him. How could I possibly kill a Second-Ring Wizard? I just launched a sneak attack."

Mai Lin breathed a sigh of relief. It was unbelievable that Levi had single-handedly killed a Second-Ring Wizard, especially one skilled in magic arrays! Levi had initially intended to secretly keep the man's Storage Bag, but upon discovering he couldn't break the magical seal on it, he decided to hand it over to the organization. Furthermore, Levi worried that the Tower Master and the others might have communicated with Yolman, and that Yolman might discover he was secretly keeping a Second-Ring Wizard's spoils. That wouldn't be good; it would erode the most basic trust between people.

Levi believed that the Tower would handle the spoils fairly, and he trusted the character of Teacher Mai Lin and the Tower Master, so after careful consideration, he chose to do so.

"Another Second Ring Black Wizard's head. We should be able to exchange it for 10,000 Great Stone at the Tower of Stars," Mai Lin said.

The Tower Master pondered for a moment, then said with a grave expression, "Forget about Pinoz. Don't spread the news of Pinoz's death; just keep it a secret among a few of us. Pinoz is different from others; he was a magic array wizard, and the Tower of Stars of Tower of Stars has always been a key focus of their attention because they covet his magic array inheritance. Such a precious thing cannot be handed over to the Tower of Stars. It's priceless and should be kept by our organization."

"Levi, this man was killed by you and Yolman together, so your contribution is significant and you'll naturally receive a share. If this man's Storage Bag contains the legacy of a magic array wizard, you can learn it anytime in the tower if you wish, as long as you sign a confidentiality agreement and don't pass it on to others."

"That's what the tower master said."

"Thank you, Tower Master," Levi said.

Unexpectedly, this person was indeed a legendary rare magic array wizard. After witnessing the power of magic arrays, Levi had indeed become obsessed with them. Now that he had the opportunity to learn about magic arrays, he naturally would not refuse.

To be honest, if it weren't for Yolman, Levi would never have dared to kill Second-Ring Wizard. It was precisely because of Yolman's direct restraint that Levi had the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

The tower master immediately opened Pinoz's Storage Bag. Levi estimated that there were tens of thousands of Great Stone inside. No wonder he was Second Ring magic array wizard, he was really rich.

Then came various sets of magical arrays of different shapes and sizes, which formed the core of the arrays. Levi also gave the array flags of the Second Ring Raging Sharks Dance array he obtained to the tower master. He was too far from reaching the Second Ring, and it was better to use them to enhance the strength of the tower than to let them gather dust on his own.

Finally, the tower master found a book that looked rather ancient. The book was very thick and of unknown material. On the cover was a strange triangle with a blood-red single eye.

The Book of Cypher.

The tower master glanced at it and then handed it to Mai Lin and Levi for a look.

Levi took the book, and the blood-red single eye suddenly opened, its eyes filled with bloodshot veins, staring at Levi.

Levi ignored the one-eyed man; it was just some wizard's wicked hobby and trickery, and it didn't mean anything.

He glanced at it briefly, and sure enough, it was a book that recorded the inheritance of magic arrays. The value of this book was immeasurable and could not be measured in Great Stone.

However, after reading it, he found that the book seemed incomplete. The tower master seemed to have noticed Levi's doubts and said, "It is obvious that Pinoz only obtained a part of the inheritance of this array master named Cypher. I took a look, and it should only contain some basic knowledge of array formations and low-level array formations of the First Ring and Second Ring rings. There is no inheritance of knowledge above the Third Ring, so it will not be of much help to me. However, if you, Mai Lin and Levi, have time, you can study it and learn the Second Ring array formations. With prior preparation, you will be hard-pressed to defeat someone of the same level."

Both Mai Lin and Levi nodded, and the tower master continued.

"This knowledge of magic arrays also involves a lot of knowledge about Alchemy, Artifact Forging, and ancient magical runes. If Levi wants to learn about magic arrays, it would be best to come here to brush up on your Alchemy knowledge," the tower master said.

"Alright, Tower Master, I will focus on advancing to Formal Wizard for now. I can learn about magic arrays and Alchemy after I break through," Levi said.

"Don't forget about the medicine, Little Levi," Mai Lin reminded him helplessly.

"Of course not. Potions are my main focus. I only need to dabble in the others. That way, I can deal with magic array wizards more easily in the future," Levi said.

"That makes sense," the tower master said.

In the end, the tower master took out a thousand Great Stone as a reward for Levi, Levi, unable to refuse, accepted them generously.

Levi left the White Tower, letting the Tower Master and Teacher Mai Lin slowly count the other spoils of war. Apart from the lost evil sorcerer, he had not made any contribution in this battle, so he was naturally not qualified to participate in the distribution. Being able to obtain the magic array inheritance was already an unexpected joy.

"Third-Ring Wizard are really too powerful, they are not even on the same level as Second Ring. If First-Circle Wizard has a reasonable combination of spells, enough trump cards, and good equipment, it is possible for Second-Ring Wizard. It is almost impossible for Second Ring to challenge a third -Third Ring."

"So the First Ring and Second Ring are just low-level wizards, Third Ring and above are mid-level wizards. In the entire Starry Sea Area, they are already figures of considerable stature."

Levi never expected that the Tower Master could defeat so many enemies all by himself. This made him even more eager to advance to become Formal Wizard.

The battle with these Black Wizard allowed Herman, a powerful Third Ring wizard, to make a stunning appearance. The Wizard Apprentice had been kept in the dark, all showed happy smiles, and the worries that had been hanging over them were finally put to rest.

With such a powerful tower master presiding over the Gray-White Tower Gray-White Tower, its strength and status in this sea area will skyrocket, directly becoming equal to Whale Song Lonely Island.

Aside from having a weaker foundation and fewer Formal Wizard than Whale Song Lonely Island, the Gray-White Tower can be considered Third-Ring Wizard organization in other respects.

In the year 1025 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, Month of Wheat Fields.

An even more significant piece of news spread throughout this sea area.

A month ago, a Sea Race lord, the Deep Sea Baron, led four powerful Sea Clan General, along with thousands of Sea Race and numerous sea beasts, to suddenly appear and launch a lightning attack on Whale Song Lonely Island!

The Sea Race lord displayed extremely powerful strength, shattering the defensive array of Whale Song Lonely Island with a single punch. After that, the Sea Race and Whale Song Lonely Island engaged in Blood War.

In this battle, the Sea Race overwhelmingly defeated Whale Song Lonely Island. With the cooperation of their four generals, the Deep Sea Baron killed Angus, a Second-Ring Wizard and apothecary on Whale Song Lonely Island, and severely injured Morpheus, Third-Ring Wizard. Most of Whale Song Lonely Island's Formal Wizard and Wizard Apprentice were also killed or wounded. Just as the Sea Race were about to completely conquer Whale Song Lonely Island, a mysterious Fifth Ring wizard descended upon the Whale Song Lonely Island using a teleportation scroll, saving Morpheus at the last moment. Then, with a single Fifth Ring spell, he annihilated most of the Sea Race. However, the Deep Sea Baron was indeed extraordinary; he and the two surviving Sea Clan General managed to escape severely wounded right under the Fifth Ring wizard's nose.

After this battle, Whale Song Lonely Island, which had almost been wiped out, suffered a significant drop in strength. Only five Formal Wizard remained, only one deputy island lord remained as Second-Ring Wizard, and the Third-Ring Wizard Morpheus was seriously injured and went into seclusion. The entire Whale Song Lonely Island faced an unprecedented crisis.

Meanwhile, after the Deep Sea Baron was seriously injured and fled, the Sea Beast Tide in this area began to gradually subside.

After that, the sea monster horde's attacks became less and less powerful, and finally, in the Month of the North Wind in 1025, the Sea Beast Tide never came again.

This essentially marks the end of the Sea Beast Tide in this sea area, but looking across the Endless Sea, some areas are still being impacted by the Sea Beast Tide.

Overall, however, the peak of the Sea Beast Tide has largely passed, and what follows is a process of gradual decline.

All of this was within the expectations of the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council.

The year 1026 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Origin.

The messenger from the Tower of Stars brought good news once again: after nearly two years of arduous struggle, the war between wizards and sea monsters has come to an end. The courage and perseverance displayed by the wizards were truly admirable, and the ultimate victors are still the wizards! The wizards have once again proven with their strength that they are the true masters of this sea! Evil cannot prevail over good; all evil will ultimately be defeated!

Before long, the Azure Boat flights between the Endless Sea resumed operation, and the wizards who had survived the ordeal cheered with joy at their victory.

The Black Sail Wizard Market slowly resumed operations, and its former bustle gradually returned. However, on the enforcement side, the head of the enforcement council was no longer Whale Song Lonely Island, but a wizard from the Gloomy Sea Cave. Whale Song Lonely Island announced the closure of its stores in the market and withdrew from the enforcement management of the Black Sail Wizard Market, thus seemingly closing itself off from the world and ceasing all contact with other wizarding organizations.

In contrast to the desolation of Whale Song Lonely Island, the Gray-White Tower flourished. After the Sea Beast Tide, the Gray-White Tower officially applied to the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council and became an officially certified Third-Ring Wizard organization, thus enjoying the benefits of Third-Ring Wizard organization.

The Tower of Stars also transferred the bounty for the Tower Master's killing of those Black Wizard to the Gray-White Tower, totaling a whopping 60,000 Great Stone. As leaders of Second Ring Black Wizard Organization, these people's heads were extremely valuable.

With these Great Stone, the tower master can further enhance and modify his Alchemy body to improve his strength, and also solve the urgent problem of the Gray-White Tower with its empty treasury.

The Gray-White Tower, after two years of beast tides, has not declined but instead feels more prosperous.

After all, compared to other organizations, the Gray-White Tower suffered the least losses. In this Sea Beast Tide, Whale Song Lonely Island the most, betraying humanity and then being betrayed by the Sea Race, nearly being wiped out. On the other hand, with the Tower Master now at the Third Ring, everyone in the Gray-White Tower has regained their confidence and standing tall. In this sea area, the Third Ring possesses a nuclear-weapon-like deterrent power.

Moreover, with the Ship of the Undead, our mortal enemy, eliminated, travel will be much safer in the future.

Later in the course of this beast tide, an outstanding High-Grade Wizard Apprentice in the tower also successfully advanced to become Formal Wizard.

This person is... Winnie.

This blonde girl, who is averse to all three elements, has a cheerful personality, and grew up in the Wizard Tower, successfully broke through to become Formal Wizard and moved into the White Tower, making all the Wizard Apprentice envious.

Winnie's talent for being compatible with all three elements already puts her far ahead of most Wizard Apprentice. In addition, she is favored by Granny Mai and receives special care. After a long period of accumulation, it is only natural that she will advance to become Formal Wizard.

Now, including Winnie, the Gray-White Tower has a Legendary Knight, three First-Circle Wizard, one Second-Ring Wizard, and one Third-Ring Wizard. The Gray-White Tower is stronger than ever before!

With this shift in power, Whale Song Lonely Island, once the dominant power in this sea area, now faces a formidable competitor: the Gray-White Tower of the Third Ring Organization. The situation in this region has changed from one superpower and several strong contenders to a balance of power between two equally powerful forces!

In this favorable situation, Levi devoted himself to cultivation, preparing to advance to become Formal Wizard.

The ninth floor of the Gray Tower houses the Potion Making room.

Levi bathed and changed his clothes, calmed his mind, and prepared to begin making a particularly important potion.

That was the First Ring potion he had been longing for: Naga's Blessing! In the later stages of the beast tide, with the tower master guarding the area, Levi didn't have to worry about the sea beasts, so he went all out to practice Meditation Technique.

Ultimately, he successfully cultivated the Earth Meditation Technique to the Third-Order Limit.

Levi ————

Earth Meditation Technique: Third Order (Limit, Limits Can Be Broken)...

Also in the later stages of the beast tide, after the crisis at the Gray-White Tower was resolved, Levi took advantage of the last opportunity to search the sea every day aboard the Dragon King Whale. He eventually found a Gray Naga colony. After dealing with a family of five in the colony, Levi collected a total of five Gray Naga's Tear.

The Gray Naga's Tear is not actually the tear of the Gray Naga Gray Naga, but rather a blood-red, rhomboid crystal that appears on the chest of this extraordinary creature.

This rhombus-shaped crystal is also the primary attack method of the Gray Naga, from which a beam of light can be fired that stuns enemies.

One Gray Naga's Tear can be used to craft one Naga's Blessing, so Levi has five chances. If Levi can successfully craft one Gray Naga's Blessing, he will not lose out, and he will have a more than 90% chance of advancing to a Formal Wizard.

The Naga's Blessing only works the first time it is taken, so if Levi can successfully refine it twice, he will make a profit. One "Naga's Blessing" is worth four thousand Great Stone even if sold to the tower at a low price. If he sells it on the market, it may be worth five thousand or even six thousand Great Stone. If he encounters a wealthy person who urgently needs it, it may be worth even more.

After all, the cost of these materials alone adds up to two thousand Great Stone.

It can be said that the Gray Naga's Tear is the most valuable First Ring. This kind of potion used for breakthroughs in realms is undoubtedly valuable and has no shortage of buyers, since there are too many High-Grade Wizard Apprentice stuck at the advanced wizard stage.

During this time, in order to refine the Naga's Blessing, Levi constantly practiced with other First Ring potions. After consuming a lot of resources, he is now confident in refining the Naga's Blessing.

"I don't ask for much, just one success is enough."

Levi calmed down and began to Potion Making.

He dried the Mist Lamp Grass, ground it into powder, crushed the Magpie's Beak, ground it into powder, and then added the other medicinal materials. He proceeded methodically according to the steps and process of the formula.

As a pot of blue liquid boiled in the crucible, Levi quickly added Mist Lamp Grass and chanted an incantation. The potion turned green. Levi then added the Magpie's Beak, and the potion turned black. Finally, Levi tossed in the blood-red Gray Naga's Tear, silently reciting the final incantation for the potion.

"Abamodeto..."

With a loud bang, the crucible exploded, and the medicine splashed everywhere.

The water shield spell on Li Wei's flying fish robe was activated, blocking the scalding potions.

Potion Making proficiency +236

Levi's eye twitched.

Two thousand Great Stone are gone...

"Continue."

Then he changed to a new set of Potion Making utensils, regained his composure, and continued the refining process.

boom.

The newly installed crucible cracked again.

Potion Making proficiency +222

It exploded again the second time.

"I'm tired, I'll refine it again tomorrow. It's just a loss of four thousand Great Stone today... Failure is the mother of success!"

The next day.

Levi took a deep breath, his expression calm and composed, and continued refining.

The third time, accompanied by the chanting of the incantation for preparing the medicine.

Inside the crucible, the originally black potion turned into a viscous, blood-like liquid after the Gray Naga's Tear were added, emitting a faint fishy smell, as if it were a pot of boiling blood.

Not long after, the potion was absorbed into the Gray Naga's Tear and miraculously disappeared.

Finally, at the bottom of the crucible, a bewitching and beautiful crimson sphere rested there, emitting an eerie aura that made one irresistibly want to swallow it.

Potion Making Proficiency +450

"We succeeded, so we're not losing money now."

"If we succeed again, we'll have made a profit."

Levi sealed the potion in a pre-prepared bottle to prevent its effects from evaporating.

He then continued refining.

The fourth time, it was successfully refined!

Another [Naga's Blessing] has been created.

Levi was delighted.

"I made a profit."

On the third day, Levi continued refining.

And then it worked again.

"They've made a fortune."

"If these two doses of the potion were released to the outside world, countless large organizations would be scrambling for them. Even the Third-Ring Wizard Organization would be fighting over them."

Although the Naga's Blessing is so expensive that Wizard Apprentice certainly cannot afford it, Formal Wizard or Second Ring- or Third-Ring Wizard usually prepare such a potion for their beloved disciples or offspring so that they can successfully advance to the wizarding ranks.

In fact, many wizarding organizations in the Endless Sea are primarily composed of wizarding families. The elders of these families, for the sake of their descendants, would stockpile potions like the Naga's Blessing. Winnie's parents were once High-Grade Wizard Apprentice in the Gray-White Tower, but later retired to the sidelines. Therefore, Winnie's life has been smooth sailing since childhood, and her successful advancement to wizardhood is undoubtedly inseparable from her parents' support.

After all, the probability of offspring with wizarding talents is higher when wizards mate, so over time, wizarding families of all sizes have formed. Especially within behemoth wizarding organizations like the Tower of Stars, there are all sorts of large wizarding families. Although the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council has tried to weaken these family attributes to avoid problems of corruption and decadence, the results have been minimal.

Ultimately, after obtaining three Naga's Blessing Potions, Levi kept two for himself to sell. Whether he would sell them to the organization or to outsiders would depend on the circumstances.

Furthermore, Levi still had surplus Mist Lamp Grass and Magpie's Beak, so if he obtained more Gray Naga's Tear in the future, he could continue refining them. Having already succeeded three times, Levi's success rate in refining them would only increase in the future.

After finishing the potion, Levi placed his hand on the Klein Crystal.

Mental strength: 20 Art Power: 145. Now everything is ready, and the potion is also prepared.

Levi only needs to hone his Art Power to the peak of 200 points, and then choose a First Ring Spell Model to build, and he can try to break through to become Formal Wizard.

There's no need to worry about Art Power; Levi can naturally refine Green Potion to replenish it.

Levi had already come up with the First-Circle Spell model for the First Ring of advancement.

First Ring passive spell - Stone Body, an advanced spell of Stone Skin Technique.

In fact, Stone Skin Technique is essentially a simplified version of Stone Body. Stone Skin Technique only strengthens Levi's skin defense, while Stone Body penetrates deep into his flesh and bones, enhancing Levi defense from the inside out. Therefore, Levi felt that constructing this First-Circle Spell model shouldn't be difficult for him.

The year 1026 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowers.

After learning that Mu Di was still alive, Levi and Mu Di's third team-building activity was successfully completed. In the final routine sparring match, Mu Di, who had become much stronger, was still defeated by Levi.

The current Mu Di, when fighting, is covered in golden light, as if he has practiced the legendary "Indestructible Vajra Technique". He looks majestic and extraordinary, with a kind of sacred and grand aura.

Levi felt the time was right, so he asked Mu Di what kind of Breathing Technique it was. Mu Di told Levi that it was the Golden Knight's Breathing Technique, called the "Golden Horn Breathing Technique." In mythology, there is a giant beast that travels through the Astral Realm, called the "Golden Horn." It can bathe in the sun, traverse the void, and has unparalleled defensive power. It has a single golden horn on its forehead, and it is said that this single golden horn contains the power to destroy an entire realm.

Therefore, Levi presented a Breathing Technique that Mu Di would definitely be interested in: the Red Lotus Breathing Technique. He used the Red Lotus Breathing Technique to exchange for Mu Di's Golden Horn Breathing Technique.

Mu Di was naturally happy to exchange Breathing Technique. The Red Lotus Breathing Technique was a top-tier power-type Breathing Technique, on par with his family's Holy Ape Breathing Technique, and he had long wanted to learn from it. However, back in the Mortal World, he couldn't find the Red Lotus Breathing Technique and had to give up. He hadn't expected that Levi would actually possess it. As Legendary Knight, exchanging knowledge and growing together was Mu Di's original intention in joining the Twilight Knight Order.

Although Mu Di lacked the Red Lotus Bloodline and couldn't cultivate, at the level of Legendary Knight like them, simply observing and learning the routines of other Breathing Technique might inspire their own cultivation. Even if it only provided the slightest help in breaking through the Legendary Realm barrier, they wouldn't give up.

Moreover, Mu Di actually knew that bloodlines, to put it bluntly, could be transplanted later in life; they weren't as mysterious as they seemed. It was just that wizards who had mastered bloodline transplantation techniques looked down on ordinary Breathing Technique. After all, practicing Breathing Technique was more time-consuming than many spells, and the benefits were completely disproportionate to the final gains. Even if one spent decades practicing Breathing Technique to the limit and became Legendary Knight, one would only be at the level of First-Circle Wizard. With that effort, one could achieve far greater success by cultivating the path of the wizard.

Because of their limited knowledge and perspective, ordinary Knight believed that bloodlines were sacred, noble, and unchangeable. Changing bloodlines was taboo and a violation of their ancestors, so they would never think of transplanting bloodlines to practice other Breathing Technique.

However, Mu Di was different from ordinary Knight. He was Legendary Knight and had received a wizard's education, so he wasn't so ignorant. His Golden Horn Breathing Technique's [Golden Bloodline] was actually acquired later in life. During the great Age of Great Voyage, at the treasure of the Golden Knight Gerrick, he encountered a golden, centipede-like monster. It looked like a human spine, but this monster could move, possessed many sharp, indestructible spines, and could burrow into anything, seemingly having a parasitic instinct. Mu Di was attacked by this "Golden Spine," which resembled Greck's. Without warning, the spine burrowed into Mu Di's body, devouring and replacing Mu Di original spine. Mu Di was helpless against this and gradually accepted this reality. He came to the Wizard World hoping to use wizarding knowledge to understand what this Golden Spine really was and whether it would have any side effects on him.

Regardless, Mu Di obtained the Golden Bloodline and was able to cultivate the Golden Horn Breathing Technique. This had always been a secret Mu Di kept hidden in his heart. He intuitively felt that this "Golden Spine" was extraordinary and would become an important reliance for him to break through the shackles of the Legendary Realm in the future. He even suspected that this "Golden Spine" was the source of the Gerrick Family's Golden Bloodline, and that this monster was the one who created the "Golden Family"! During the previous team building activity, Mu Di learned from Levi that the bloodline transplantation technology existed in the School of Life. Therefore, he felt that if he could find an extraordinary creature containing the [Red Lotus Bloodline], and then obtain a trace of the bloodline through bloodline transplantation technology, he might be able to cultivate the Red Lotus Breathing Technique and further enhance his Knight strength.

So Levi took this opportunity to reach a preliminary consensus with Mu Di, that is, in the future, if everyone has different Breathing Technique, they can exchange them.

Unlike Mu Di, these so-called bloodline limitations are completely irrelevant to Levi. Furthermore, Levi can continuously break through the limits of his Breathing Technique using his skill panel, fusing different Bloodline Breathing Technique Breathing Technique create even more powerful variations. Mu Di, even with the Red Lotus Bloodline, can cultivate the Red Lotus Breathing Technique to its Legendary Realm limit, but breaking through that Breathing Technique is extremely difficult. It can only be said that for an ordinary Legendary Realm like Mu Di, having another bloodline means gaining another path to the Legendary Realm status and increasing his strength. However, without a clearly defined and effective path to guide him, and without a Proficiency Panel like Levi's that allows for continuous limit-breaking, his chances of truly breaking through the Legendary Realm shackles are essentially slim.

In Levi's view, ordinary Legendary Knight like Mu Di or Anderson, if they wanted to break through the shackles of the Legendary Realm, must first explore their own path, leaving others to follow in their footsteps. In other words, their own realm was the upper limit of Legendary Knight! As for Mu Di's other ancestral Holy Ape Breathing Technique, Levi learned from Mu Di that the Holy Ape Breathing Technique also strengthened the arms, overlapping with his own Giant Breathing Technique Holy Ape Breathing Technique, so he wasn't as eager for it. However, if given the opportunity, and once Levi's relationship with Mu Di deepened, he could exchange his current Breathing Technique of the same quality with Mu Di. He wanted to try and mutate the Giant Breathing Technique and the Holy Ape Breathing Technique to see what kind of monster would be created, perhaps something like a "Ape Giant Breathing Technique"? After obtaining the Golden Breathing Technique, Levi began preparing the Golden Horn Secret Medicine, much as he had anticipated. The Golden Horned Beast, like the Red Lotus Behemoth, was also a type of Dragonkind, so its Secret Medicine also involved Dragonkind.

The most crucial ingredient in the Golden Horn Secret Medicine is "Dragon Horn Powder," which can be used on the horns of any creature that is a hybrid of Dragonkind and contains Dragonkind blood.

Thinking of this, Levi couldn't help but think of... Leviathan.

Good heavens, Dragonkind hybrid with dragon horns.

This guy has everything! If you don't fleece Leviathan, who else should Levi fleece?

Leviathan was born to be the ingredient for Secret Medicine! Blood, Ambergris, even the beautiful unicorn horn used for courtship—they were all treasures! Since subduing Leviathan, Levi no longer had to worry about the Secret Medicine; he could find it all on Leviathan anyway... Levi had to objectively admit that his current success was firstly due to Panel Bro, secondly due to his own hard work, and thirdly due to Leviathan's support!

And so, the unfortunate Leviathan was once again used as a medicinal ingredient by Levi. Every so often, Levi would scrape some powder off Leviathan's horn. Levi was only scraping off a little powder periodically with his trident; it wouldn't cause any damage to Leviathan's horn, after all, he wasn't a great villain.

And so, while building the Spell Model, he practiced Breathing Technique, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

The year 1026 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Wheat Fields.

Levi successfully trained the Golden Horn Breathing Technique to the Eighth Rank, giving birth to Extraordinary Defense. Once this Breathing Technique reaches the Legendary Realm, Levi can fuse and mutate the Golden Horn Breathing Technique and the Black Snake Breathing Technique to create a new Breathing Technique that can be cultivated to the twelfth level limit.

Month of Harvest, Levi finally completed the Spell Model of the First-Circle Spell, Stone Body, in his mind. His Art Power, through his persistent use of drugs and honing his skills, reached the limit of 200 points, keeping pace with his mental power.

"Mental Strength: 20"

"Art Power: 200"

Now, Levi has completed all the preparations for advancing to Formal Wizard. He told Teacher Mai Lin about his plan to advance, Mai Lin said that with her there, no one would be allowed to disturb Levi's seclusion.

After adjusting himself to his peak condition, Levi put the fragrant pill into his mouth in the cultivation room. The pill melted instantly in his mouth, turning into streams of strange energy that flowed into Levi's mind.

He could faintly hear the beautiful singing of the Gray Naga echoing in Levi's mind, calming Levi restless and agitated spirit.

Levi entered a state of selflessness and detachment, like an old Buddhist monk sitting in meditation. In his mind, above the ocean of consciousness that carried spiritual power, an even more vast spiritual power surged into Levi's mind from the Wu Yin void. Levi felt as if his whole being had been sublimated, with a feeling of "soul leaving the body".

Of course, he knew these were all his illusions. In wizarding theory, spiritual power and soul are different concepts. The soul is similar to a person's True Spirit, a unique imprint. If the soul is severely damaged, a person is basically doomed to die. Even if they don't die, their unique "life traits" will be altered. In the theory of the Death School, physical death is not true death; only the dissipation of the soul, that is, "the soul is scattered," is true death. Therefore, some wizards of the Death School dedicate themselves to researching a technique to place a person's soul in a "Soul Box." Through this method, short-lived humans can transform into a Long-Lived Species, extraordinary being: a "lich."

Spiritual power, on the other hand, is a metaphysical force. It is not the same as the soul. Severe damage to spiritual power can be recovered through medicine or rest. Even if the soul is no longer in the body, spiritual power still exists within the physical body. Therefore, after the Holy Armor Scorpion devoured souls, spiritual power still remained within the bodies of the Living Dead. This is why the Living Dead can continue to cast spells. However, the source of spiritual power for the Living Dead is no longer meditation, but the Undead Core.

It is said that upon reaching the High-Rank Wizard stage, one's spiritual power and soul merge into one, becoming a unified entity, hence the term "Origin Soul." The Origin Soul is the core of High-Rank Wizard, enabling incredible feats such as separation from the Origin Soul, casting spells with the Origin Soul, and elementalization. As long as the Origin Soul is immortal, the wizard Undying. A wizard can protect their physical body within Wizard Tower, while their Origin Soul travels freely beyond the heavens. Some with extremely powerful Origin Soul Origin Soul can even travel through multiple dimensions. Of course, Levi's current spiritual power is far from reaching the Origin Soul stage.

As time passed, Levi Wei's mental energy grew increasingly abundant until a certain critical point, as if a valve had been opened, a powerful, mysterious force surged into Levi's mind and limbs.
