Changes to the Status Panel! Merging the Meditation Techniques!
After advancing to the Second Ring, each point of mental strength represents a maximum of 30 points of Art Power.
In other words, with Levi's current 51 points of mental strength, the theoretical maximum of his Art Power should be 1530 points.
He couldn't help but smile wryly; his Art Power in magical abilities was really just average.
Fortunately, Art Power doesn't have much of an impact; as a pharmacist, I can just take some medicine and that's it.
He had already obtained the free recipe for the Second Ring Green Potion, the "Green King Potion," from Ha Fuman.
One bottle of this potion can increase your maximum Art Power by 10 points.
Although the price was relatively high, Levi would periodically report a false success rate and secretly keep one as a reward for his efforts. After all, there was always a loss rate when apothecaries Potion Making.
For example, if Levi registers the materials for ten Green Potion solutions in the warehouse, and can guarantee to hand over seven of them, that would be enough to complete the task.
But he actually succeeded in refining eight, and he used the extra one himself.
This is an unspoken rule in the Potion Master's Tower, and the military knows it too, but they turn a blind eye.
Otherwise, if they only receive this little bit of merit as a reward for their hard work, and they have to Potion Making every day, which would delay their cultivation, these pharmacists would be dissatisfied, and everyone's enthusiasm would be low.
However, this shouldn't be done too excessively; doing it only occasionally is fine.
If the success rate is not up to standard, and the military investigates, even Second-Ring Potion Maker will not fare well.
Therefore, Levi did not insist on Art Power; he could gradually improve it over time.
The only Second-Ring Spell he currently possesses is the Adamantine Rock Body, which doesn't require that much Art Power; enough is sufficient.
at the same time.
After advancing to the Second Ring, Levi spent 500 merit points to exchange for the Second Ring ring of Earth Meditation Technique in the Merit Shop.
This basic Meditation Technique is not very expensive.
In the realm of knowledge transmission within the Wizard World today, Meditation Technique is the cheapest method.
Since Meditation Technique is only a basic method, and most of them are public Meditation Technique, they shouldn't be charged for in the first place.
However, with the progress of the times, later generations have made some adjustments and improvements to these Meditation Technique. These fees are actually paid to the wizards who improved these Meditation Technique.
When Sauron established the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council.
One of its aims is to popularize basic knowledge such as Meditation Technique, so that more talented individuals can become wizards.
Therefore, some Meditation Technique often end up in the Mortal World.
Meditation Technique involving the sun, the earth, and the deep sea are ancient practices that have been tested and proven to lead to Legendary Wizard levels.
While this type of Meditation Technique may not have the special effects of Black Sun Meditation Technique, it is safe, stable, and easy to obtain. It may not be excellent, but it is definitely not prone to error.
Therefore, Levi's path is to persist in practicing these basic Meditation Technique to the end.
Spells, on the other hand, are far more valuable. Spells better reflect the originality of each wizard, which is why the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council has a particularly strong protection for the intellectual property rights of original spells.
As for knowledge of Potion Making, Artifact Forging, and magic arrays, there's no need to elaborate; this kind of knowledge is the most valuable and the rarest.
Not many days later.
Levi's Earth Meditation Technique also naturally broke through to the Sixth Order.
After breaking through to the Sixth Order of the Earth Meditation Technique, Levi suddenly discovered that there was a change behind the Meditation Technique.
Levi ——————
Sun Meditation Technique: Sixth Order (12/40000) (Can be fused) Earth Meditation Technique: Sixth Order (2/40000) (Can be fused) Furnace Meditation Technique: Fifth Order (13256/30000)
Night Raven Meditation Technique: Fifth Order (367/30000)
Deep Sea Meditation Technique: Fourth Order (13478/20000)
Gale Meditation Technique: Third Order (7890/10000)
After the Sixth Order.
Suddenly, an option to combine Levi's Earth Meditation Technique and Sun Meditation Technique appeared.
"Hmm? Meditation Technique can be integrated?"
Levi's heart stirred slightly.
He had previously speculated that Meditation Technique could be integrated.
However, he thought he could only succeed after he had combined the affinity of the four elements.
Unexpectedly, after reaching the Sixth Order of Meditation Technique, one can perform Meditation Technique fusion.
This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.
Levi had no hesitation; skill fusion, from the current perspective, had no downsides, only benefits.
He immediately began the integration process.
The integration of Meditation Technique requires a significant amount of mental energy.
Half a day later.
As Levi's face became weak and pale, and he became extremely tired, his mental energy was almost completely exhausted.
The integration was finally successful.
He drank the Blue Potion, meditated, and rested for a while.
Only after his mental strength recovered did he open the Proficiency Panel.
Levi ——————
Earth-Fire Meditation Technique: Sixth Order (7/40000), Special Effect: Earth-Fire Dominator.
"Special effects are amazing?"
Levi quickly turned on the special effects.
[Earth-Fire Dominator: You can simultaneously practice spells related to earth and fire elements, as well as spells derived from the combination of earth and fire elements. Furthermore, the power of earth and fire-related spells is slightly increased. This effect cannot be upgraded.]
"The Earth-Fire Dominator, that sounds impressive," Levi muttered to himself.
The original Sun Meditation Technique and Earth Meditation Technique have disappeared.
On Levi's body, Adamantine Rock Body emerged, with golden runes shimmering.
He stabbed his own arm with the Blood Restriction Cone.
The runes flashed wildly as the Vajra Rock stubbornly resisted the Blood Restriction Cone's attack. However, under Levi's powerful force, the Vajra Rock's defense was eventually broken by the Blood Restriction Cone.
Sizzle.
Levi's arm was ripped open, and blood was flowing freely.
However, Blood Ash quickly flew everywhere, and countless buds of flesh grew out. In the blink of an eye, the hideous wound was completely healed.
He never used the Golden Serpent Scales from beginning to end.
"As expected, the defensive strength of the Adamantine Rock Body has been improved."
Levi's Adamantine Rock Body is an advancement based on his Stone Body, currently only at the Sixth Order level, while the maximum level of this spell should be the Seventh Rank.
The Sixth Order Adamantine Rock Body originally had a defensive strength of only C-level.
After being blessed by the Earth-Fire Dominator, the defensive strength of the Adamantine Rock Body has clearly reached the B-level, which is similar to Levi's Golden Serpent Scales.
Once the Adamantine Rock Body is trained to the Seventh Rank limit, the defensive strength of this passive spell should reach the A-level, far surpassing other passive defensive spells and comparable to some top-tier active defensive spells.
It's important to know that passive defense spells are generally less effective than active defense spells.
"In this way, my defensive strength is even more insane. Unless Second-Ring Wizard has some trump card like the Blood Restriction Cone, there aren't many who can break through my defense."
To break through my defenses, you'd need a spell with very high penetrating power. And such spells are usually concentrated on a single point, making it difficult to harm my powerful physique.
For example, the assassin's Shadow Blade has strong penetrating power and was able to break through Levi's Golden Serpent Scales and Adamantine Rock Body.
However, the cost of this is that the power is too concentrated. It might be fine against a weak wizard, but it cannot cause fatal damage to a tank like Levi.
Even if the Shadow Blade pierced Levi's heart, Levi could still save his life and leave a sliver of hope by relying on the [Blood Ash] and [Rise from the Ashes] effects of the Phoenix Breathing Technique, and then quickly repair and heal the wound to his heart.
To some extent, Levi's current self-healing ability is no weaker than that of ordinary Original Blood Clan.
Unless critical organs like the head and heart are completely destroyed in an instant, Levi can heal himself.
Levi looked at the remaining Meditation Technique. Following the current pattern, he might be able to fuse them after he reached the Sixth Order the Deep Sea Meditation Technique and the Gale Meditation Technique.
"Feng Shui Meditation Technique... feels a bit strange."
"If we combine Feng Shui Meditation Technique with Earth-Fire Meditation Technique, wouldn't that be... Earth-Fire Wind-Water Meditation Technique?"
"And Earth-Fire Wind-Water, and water are the beginning of all elements, the source of all things, and the Power of Aether! Once you master Earth-Fire Wind-Water, and water, you don't need to care about which school of thought or what type of magic you use. You can learn whichever you want, and whatever you learn will be powerful."
Thinking of this, Levi felt excited.
All that's missing is an affinity for the water element, and Levi can then verify whether this idea is feasible.
He decided that in his future cultivation, he would first train the Gale Meditation Technique to Sixth Order.
When the Water Element Affinity is unlocked, I'll also grind the Deep Sea Meditation Technique to Sixth Order and then fuse it directly.
Feng shui gives birth to ice, and water and fire give birth to Thunder! The Elemental School Levi knows, which originated from the mutation of earth and fire, are the Bronze School, also known as the Metallurgy School.
This school of thought is similar to, yet not entirely the same as, the Alchemy School.
The Alchemy School focuses on the study of Alchemy creation, while the Bronze School is an ancient Traditional School that aims to control rare metallic elements.
However, compared to the Elemental School of Earth-Fire Wind-Water, Thunder, and ice, the Bronze School is relatively weak and currently has no Legendary Wizard as its leader.
However, this does not mean that the Bronze School was weak.
Conversely, the Bronze School was quite formidable in both offense and defense, making them well-rounded in both.
Metal elements coalesce, converging into sharp metal blades, forming a terrifying "Blade Storm".
Alternatively, one could layer metallic elements on their body to form a terrifying "Imperishable Shield."
There are also "Full Metal Maniac" who directly cast metal elements into their bodies, solidify magical runes all over their bodies, and follow the path of Alchemy monsters like the Tower Master.
The Bronze School was undoubtedly powerful, but that was only in the past...
After the fall of Platinum Wind Roger, who had served as the Grand Council President of the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council.
This school of thought entered a period of transition, lacking Legendary Wizard as a successor. Naturally, its influence within the elemental factions continued to decline, creating a vicious cycle and leading to its eventual demise.
Currently, among the elemental factions, the four traditional factions of Earth-Fire Wind-Water are the most respected, followed by Thunder and ice, which are showing signs of catching up and surpassing each other.
The once glorious Bronze Faction has ultimately declined and now sits in a secondary position within the Elemental School, only comparable to younger factions like the Alchemy School.
After seeing the special effect of the Earth-Fire Dominator, Levi was somewhat tempted.
He felt that, in his Second Ring stage, before the Earth-Fire Wind-Water were combined, it was worth a try.
Since I am the Earth-Fire Dominator, I can learn whatever I want.
Having advanced to the Second Ring, Levi's strength has increased, and his desire for revenge is growing stronger.
He picked up the potion he had prepared during this time and went to find Ha Fuman.
I ran into Grimm as soon as I came out.
"My God, Lord Levi, you've advanced to the Second Ring?" Grimm couldn't help but exclaim.
He could sense that Levi's mental energy fluctuations were completely different from his own.
Just a few days ago, I was a complete newbie in the First Ring, just like myself.
How come you've advanced to the Second Ring level in just a few days?
"Yes, I just advanced." Levi said with a smile.
"I'm so envious!"
Grimm was almost moved to tears of envy.
When I first met Levi, he was just First Ring wizard, while Grimm was already Senior First Ring Wizard and a part-time Second-Ring Potion Maker.
Now, times have changed.
Levi is already Second-Ring Wizard and Second-Ring Potion Maker.
But he remained stagnant.
This made Grimm question his existence, and he began to reflect on himself.
"Sigh, I feel like I'm being dragged down by my family. I need to hurry up and advance to the Second Ring. Otherwise, just because I'm Second-Ring Potion Maker, people will be polite to me on the surface and respect me for being a pharmacist, but they'll still look down on me behind my back," Grimm suddenly sighed.
"That's right. In this world, strength is what truly matters. Everything else is just icing on the cake. Mr. Grimm, I also wish you a speedy advancement to the Second Ring."
Levi offered his heartfelt blessings.
"Thank you! I must advance to the Second Ring before that fat bastard Toman!" Grimm said.
"Hahaha, sorry, Grimm, you'll be disappointed. I will definitely advance to the Second Ring within three years!" Toman walked over, his face confident and his belly protruding.
"Alright, let's see who advances to the Second Ring first." Even though he's old Grimm isn't willing to admit defeat.
Levi looked at the confident Toman. Toman was different from him. Toman was a disciple of a Third-Ring Wizard family. His father was a Third-Ring Wizard.
The reason he was able to be retrieved from the military Potion Master's Tower so quickly and not buried in the military camp is because...
Besides the insight of the Greenwood Sage, his family also provided assistance.
Therefore, Levi guessed that his family must have prepared Second Ring breakthrough potion for him, which is why Toman was so confident.
He sighed inwardly, thinking that everyone in this world has something to rely on, more or less.
And all I can rely on is Panel Bro.
After exchanging pleasantries with Grimm and Toman for a while, Levi hurriedly said goodbye and went to find Ha Fuman.
Ha Fuman, who had been happily taking stock of his Great Stone of boulders, stopped and coughed when he sensed Levi's arrival.
"Lord Ha Fuman, Levi requests an audience."
"Come in."
Upon entering, Ha Fuman sensed that Levi's mental energy fluctuations were significantly stronger than before.
"Not bad, it seems you had some success on that demon-hunting trip," Ha Fuman chuckled.
"We made some progress and managed to break through the Second Ring by luck," Levi said.
"That's good," Ha Fuman said.
Then, Levi discovered that 1,000 merit points had suddenly been deposited into his bracelet.
"My lord? Who is this?" Levi asked, puzzled.
"Here's a little reward. On one hand, it's a commendation for your past efforts, and on the other hand, it's a congratulatory gift for your advancement to the second Second Ring."
"As long as you work hard for me, Ha Fuman, I can't guarantee you'll be among the elite in this Torrent City. But buying a mansion in the incredibly expensive Upper City District shouldn't be a problem."
Ha Fuman said expressionlessly, sitting on a high stool, tapping his fingers on the table, with the tone and demeanor of a boss.
Goodness, there's even a year-end bonus? In this Wizard World, there are actually such conscientious bosses.
Levi was devastated and cried his eyes out.
You know, his boss in his previous life was so stingy that he couldn't even afford to give out a year-end bonus, and he was just making empty promises about buying a house in the Imperial Capital.
This cold and impersonal Wizard World actually has more human touch than my previous life.
After spending so much time together, Levi also discovered this.
Ha Fuman was a rather greedy person. However, although he was greedy, he was not a bad person at heart and always acquired his wealth in a proper way.
Overall, Levi is quite satisfied with this kind of boss.
In reality, his dissatisfaction was useless, because only the Greenwood Sage had the authority to transfer personnel within the entire Potion Master's Tower Potion Master's Tower.
If Levi wants to switch jobs to work under another manager, or if another manager wants to poach Levi, they need the consent of the Greenwood Sage.
After handing over his mission potion, he chatted with Ha Fuman for a while about future Potion Making plans.
Incidentally, I also subtly learned some information about the other managers from Ha Fuman.
Levi then left the Midtown District and arrived in the Upper City District.
According to Ha Fuman, all five executives own luxurious mansions in the Upper City District and live there most of the time.
Levi now suspects that one of the other four managers is trying to harm him.
Although he has kept a low profile, his talent as a pharmacist and his dedication to hard work have still made him quite well-known in the Potion Master's Tower.
He heard from Grimm that many pharmacists privately called him "Minotaur Levi." This was because Levi, like a minotaur, was hardworking and diligent, causing the Potion Master's Tower to begin experiencing a trend of involution...
Because Grimm knew important figures in the military, he was also familiar with many things about the Potion Master's Tower.
Levi also learned from Grimm that there is competition among supervisors.
He also knew that Ha Fuman had actually achieved the top performance rating in recent years thanks to his own efforts.
He received a large reward from the military and secretly bought a house in the Upper City District! No wonder that little dwarf has been nowhere to be seen in the Potion Master's Tower lately; he's moved into a big house in the Upper City District!
This made him instantly feel that his 1000 merit points weren't so appealing anymore.
This made Levi even more convinced that he had inadvertently become involved in the power struggle among the five top executives.
The one who would target you is definitely one of the four top managers.
The person with the strongest motive for murder, without a doubt, was the manager who had consistently held the top position before Ha Fuman rose to prominence.
"Hands of Healing Rex"
This supervisor is Third Ring pharmacist, and is said to come from a Fifth Ring wizard family in the Inner Ring Sea Area.
One of the Fifth Ring -Fifth Ring wizards from that family serves as the Commander-in-Chief in the Upper City District.
In the entire Torrent City, there are only three Commander-in-Chief, one chief and two deputy commanders, all of whom are Fifth Ring wizards.
This is an absolutely important figure, second only to the two city lords.
If it was the powerful figure behind Rex who attacked him, then Levi's desire for revenge would be utterly hopeless.
The further you go, the slower and more difficult it becomes to improve your cultivation level.
After the intermediate level, the difficulty increases exponentially with First Ring advancement, and the failure rate for breakthroughs also increases significantly. Moreover, failure to break through may even be life-threatening.
Even if Levi has Proficiency Panel, plus his elemental affinity.
He estimated that it would be quite good if he could advance to the Fifth Ring within two hundred years.
Fifth Ring wizards have an average lifespan of nearly a thousand years.
By the time I break through to the Fifth Ring, those big shots will probably have already broken through to the higher levels.
Thinking of this, Levi felt a wave of despair.
Currently, Rex seems to have the best chance, because Ha Fuman's first place win would affect Rex's interests.
Due to the rules of the Potion Master's Tower, Rex couldn't bypass the Greenwood Sage to poach him. Adhering to the principle of "if you can't have him, destroy him," he directly and ruthlessly killed Rex! And Rex's interests represented the interests of his family.
In other words, Rex's willingness to take action might be due to the tacit approval of their family's Fifth Ring Commander-in-Chief.
Taking down Ha Fuman, the head of the Potion Master's Tower, would obviously be difficult, as it would easily alert the military or even the city lord to investigate.
Third Ring apothecary is no less important than Fourth Ring Wizard; their significance is self-evident.
But eliminating your competitors' "top employees" is much easier.
Although Levi is Second-Ring Potion Maker, he has the power of the interest group behind Rex.
Eliminating oneself without alerting the authorities is incredibly easy.
"Damn it, I, the Minotaur Levi, will never give up! Should honest people be bullied? Don't mess with those medicine sellers!"
Levi planned to test his Spider Sense when he had the opportunity to get close to Rex.
If Rex is hostile to him, his Spider Sense would definitely detect it at close range.
Now, this high-ranking executive is probably enjoying himself in his mansion in the Upper City District, and Levi has no idea where he lives.
He didn't dare to wander around the Upper City District, for fear of angering other powerful figures.
Stop thinking about these things. Anyway, I've already advanced to the Second Ring, so I shouldn't need to leave the city for a long time to come.
He refused to believe that the mastermind behind this would dare to attack him in the heart of Torrent City.
That would be far too lawless.
After all, there are two High-Rank Wizard stationed in the Torrent City year-round. If they wanted to, their mental perception could cover every corner of the city.
No illegal or criminal activity can escape the watchful eyes of this couple.
Of course, these two High-Rank Wizard spend most of their time in seclusion researching and don't spend their time constantly sensing things.
However, the guardian wizards within the city patrol the city around the clock to maintain order.
Overall, the security situation here should be fine.
"But we must be careful in the city. Given Rex's status, they might have other dirty tricks up their sleeves. There are plenty of ways to get rid of me. After this failure, they will be even more cautious."
Levi, with a gloomy expression, arrived at the Merit Tower to see if the Green Field Fairy House had been sold.
Generally speaking, such expensive Insect School artifacts are unlikely to be sold.
Because the Insect School is arguably the lowest of all Wizard School, and very few people in the entire Wizard World practice it.
In the world of fantasy and martial arts, it's a completely unorthodox path.
Finally, Levi left the Merit Tower with satisfaction, Green Field Fairy House was still there.
Levi originally wanted to switch to a Second Ring Bronze Faction active defensive spell, [Red Bronze Armor], to further enhance his defense.
As a result, the price of 5,000 merit points deterred them.
It's not that he can't afford it; he currently has over 10,000 merit points, but he just feels it's not worth it.
"Golden Serpent Scales and Adamantine Rock Body are enough for now. I'll exchange them for more when I have more merit points. I'd better go practice my Five Fireball Technique."
Levi shook his head.
However, practicing the Five Fireball Technique would be too noisy, and it definitely wouldn't work in my staff dormitory.
Levi wanted to rent a separate residence near the Potion Master's Tower in the Midtown District, the kind with a dedicated training room, before moving out of the Potion Master's Tower.
Now that he's moved up to the Second Ring and has some money, he has more than enough to rent an apartment in the Midtown District.
All houses for sale in Torrent City are managed by the government.
However, some wizards, after buying the property, will rent it out through specialized third-party organizations because they don't live there often or have moved to a new home.
Levi spent the whole afternoon looking around houses, and finally found a courtyard about five miles away from the Potion Master's Tower.
This place is very close to the Potion Master's Tower, Levi felt that it was unlikely that Rex and his group would attack him here.
Inside the courtyard stands a three-story Wizard Tower.
Levi and the real estate agent are waiting for the homeowner to arrive so they can sign the agreement.
Not long after.
A Second-Ring Wizard dressed in Legion robes hurried over.
"Sorry, I just finished a mission. Oh... it's you?"
This Second-Ring Wizard was none other than Sherman, the squad leader of the Legion who had met Levi once before.
"Lord Sherman, I never expected you to be the owner of this house. What a coincidence!" Levi said with a smile.
"You've advanced to the Second Ring too, congratulations!" Sherman said kindly, sensing that Levi's mental energy fluctuations were different from before.
After signing the contract with Sherman, Sherman handed over all the incantations for entering and exiting the house and the instructions for using the magic arrays to Levi before hurriedly leaving.
He is a senior wizard of the Second Ring, not far from the Third Ring. He is now working hard every day to complete tasks, accumulate more merit points, and try to exchange them for more resources to break through to the Third Ring.
Watching Sherman's departing figure, Levi couldn't help but sigh that in this city, everyone was busy making a living, essentially no different from ordinary people.
After entering the Wizard Tower, Levi used his knowledge of formations to carefully inspect the Wizard Tower inside and out.
This is to prevent the previous homeowner from leaving behind traps or other obstacles, or from spying on their privacy.
After confirming that everything was alright, he settled down in the Wizard Tower and activated the Wizard Tower's built- First Ring shielding array.
He added some magic arrays that he had crafted himself, making it strong enough to withstand the detection of most wizards.
If the other party forcibly probes, Levi will naturally be able to sense the fluctuations of the magic array.
"At least we have a temporary home in Torrent City. I wonder how things are on Black Fire Island."
Such a place in the Midtown District costs 100 Great Stone a year in rent. Although it is not cheap, it is much better than the Upper City District.
The Upper City District is just a bit safer, has a denser concentration of elemental energy, and the magic arrays on the houses are more advanced. Other than that, it's not much better.
Moreover, being neighbors with those big shots can easily lead to trouble.
Thinking about it this way, Levi felt that the Midtown District was pretty good.
Having moved to a new house, Levi invited Grimm and Toman to a proper party at his Wizard Tower.
They hired some respectable witches to perform a Xiao Wu.
The promotion to the Second Ring is something to celebrate.
Otherwise, living like a robot all day would be meaningless.
After a rare moment of relaxation, Levi resumed his days of Potion Making and practicing cultivation.
He no longer has the Secret Medicine for Breathing Technique, and his progress in practicing the Knight's Breathing Technique is slow.
He simply stopped practicing some of the Breathing Technique and focused on the path of the wizard.
The Greater Fireball Technique was soon upgraded to the Five Fireball Technique!
Following the [Adamantine Rock Body] spell, Levi also mastered his second Second-Ring Spell, officially gaining the attack power of Second-Ring Wizard.
Besides, those First-Circle Spell, such as Green Smoke Escape and Water Prison Technique, are still very useful even at the Second Ring stage, and are not completely useless.
Starting with Second-Ring Spell, the difficulty of acquiring spells begins to increase.
Unlike during Levi's First Ring period, when he could freely exchange items from the Gray-White Tower.
Although theoretically Second-Ring Wizard can master nearly twenty Second-Ring Spell.
However, in reality, many Second-Ring Wizard only use the same few Second-Ring Spell over and over again.
Firstly, Second-Ring Spell consume a lot of mental energy and are slow to learn; secondly, Second-Ring Spell are inherently difficult to acquire.
Unless you can join a large wizarding organization, some smaller wizarding organizations, such as the Gray-White Tower, only have a few types of Second-Ring Spell spells to choose from.
After mastering the Five Fireball Technique, Levi can also begin to practice another Second-Ring Spell that he has long awaited.
Second-Ring Spell: Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider Control.
This is Second-Ring Spell specifically developed for the Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider, used to control this alien insect.
Now that Levi has reached the Second Ring, it's time to completely subdue the Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider.
The Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider excels at control and poison attacks; paired with the Holy Armor Scorpion, it should be enough to give Second-Ring Wizard a run for their money.
All Insect School are largely the same, with only slight adjustments for different types of insects.
For Levi, who had already mastered Holy Armor Beetle Touch to its limit, mastering this Second-Ring Spell was not difficult.
Before long, the Spell Model for this Second-Ring Spell was completed, and Levi tried to take out a Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider from the Insect House.
The Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider reproduces very slowly, and since Levi didn't specifically breed them and didn't take good care of them, many Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider ended up cannibalizing each other.
So much time has passed, and the number of Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider in the Insect House has not only not increased, but has actually decreased to only half of what it was, about five hundred. However, these five hundred or so are all relatively strong individuals.
Levi decided that from now on he would pay more attention to these spiders, so as not to cause their extinction.
A thread of spiritual energy connected to the Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider. Levi felt a surge of emotion; the sense of control was very obvious.
Levi easily controlled the Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider. The spider, the size of a human head, crawled all over Levi's body, looking quite terrifying.
The First Order [Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider Control] only allows you to control one Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider, so if you want to control thousands of Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider, you'll have to keep grinding.
In the days that followed, Levi devoted himself entirely to mastering the three newly acquired Second-Ring Spell: Five Fireball Technique, Adamantine Rock Body, and Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider Control.
With his current mental capacity, his brain doesn't have enough memory, so he can't learn more Second-Ring Spell.
The year 1043 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Vitality.
The Great Expedition is in its 8th year.
It is said that Sky City has already reached the Five Great Federations.
With the Legendary Wizard in charge, the expeditionary force officially began a fierce war with the enemy.
The Wizard Civilization has officially begun its first clash with the dark forces under the Lord of Chaos.
Meanwhile, on the Endless Sea side, the Tower of Stars finally managed to bring back a Ninth Ring Great Wizard had originally been stationed at the council headquarters.
The Great Wizard traveled to the heart of the Hundred Eye Demon Domain Realm, determined to annihilate the Hundred Eye Demon Lord.
Although the Hundred Eye Demon Lord will definitely be reborn, it's still much better than him remaining in the Endless Sea as a menace.
The wizards of Torrent City were thrilled by the exciting news.
This is especially true for wizards like Levi who were conscripted.
If the Hundred Eye Demon Lord is eliminated, then the disappearance of the Hundred Eye Demon Domain is only a matter of time.
Once the war here is over, they can leave Torrent City and go home.
Ultimately, this battle seemed to shake the entire Hundred Eye Demon Domain.
According to the battle wizards on the front lines, the aftershocks of the battle spread to the edge of the Hundred Eye Demon Domain several days later, powerful enough to shatter the defensive spells of First-Circle Wizard, and even brought a terrifying tsunami that submerged some islands.
Everyone indirectly felt the terror of the Ninth Ring Great Wizard; his power, comparable to that of Demigod, was truly astonishing.
But how powerful can Legendary Wizard, who is above the Great Wizard, be? However, the final result was unexpected by everyone.
The Hundred Eye Demon Lord did not die. Not long before the great battle, he gained some benefit and advanced to become the new demon lord: the Lord of Thousand Eyes!
This is the strongest Eye Demon ever seen in the history of the Abyss.
In the end, the Great Wizard had no choice but to use his Saint Soul Tool to severely injure the Lord of Thousand Eyes, but he was unable to kill him.
Severely wounded and unable to withstand the attack Lord of Thousand Eyes retreated into the ancient ruins that had once sealed it.
The Great Wizard gave chase, only to discover something even more despairing for the Wizard World.
Within these ancient ruins lies an unfinished "Abyssal Well"! The Lord of Thousand Eyes used a secret technique to escape into this Abyssal Well.
This made the Great Wizard quite wary, and he dared not venture further.
The so-called Abyssal Well refers to a passage from the Abyss to Other Plane.
Basically, for some weaker planes, simply opening a Abyssal Well means the destruction of that plane.
This left the Wizard Civilization feeling utterly powerless.
Unbeknownst to many, the power from the Abyss has already invaded this plane.
Whether in the Wizard World or the Mortal World, there is a possibility of invasion from the Abyss.
The Great Wizard, meanwhile, guarded the well in the Abyssal Well, while simultaneously contacting the Legendary Wizard who now ruled the Wizard World, awaiting the next move.
The Abyssal Well must be destroyed; the Wizard World no longer has the strength to deal with the invasion of the Abyss Civilization.
Only after resolving the internal strife and pacifying the Five Great Federations can the Wizard Civilization wage war against the Abyss Civilization.
The situation is becoming increasingly chaotic, and the leaders of the Wizard World are in a state of utter disarray.
On the contrary, people from the lower class like Levi have become completely indifferent to change.
Anyway, if the Abyss really invades, it won't matter where he hides. This kind of complete force majeure is something Levi cannot resist.
Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well relax, eat and drink as usual, and keep grinding for experience.
The Abyss is not like Blood River or Blue Frost's small-scale antics.
These planes only dare to cause trouble in the Mortal World, bullying mortals and the agents of the gods trapped in the Astral Realm on Mortal World; they wouldn't dare to come to the Wizard World at all.
The ancient and powerful Abyss Civilization was an existence that even the gods of the Astral Realm feared.
Every war in history with the Abyss Civilization is a painful experience that the Wizard Civilization least wants to recall.
That was a real... Blood War.
The war could last for hundreds or even thousands of years, hence the so-called "thousand-year Blood War".
Everyone says the Abyss has 666th Floor. However, whether the Abyss actually only has 666th Floor is unknown.
The reason why the Abyss is said to have 666 levels in the Wizarding World is because Sauron, the ancestor of wizards, only reached level 666 of the Abyss during the Civilization War. After fighting to a draw with the demon lord of the 666th level, he retreated back to the Wizarding World.
The actual Abyss may be even more terrifying than the wizards imagined...
The outside world was filled with fear and panic. For a time, various theories about "the end of the world," "the end of civilization," and "the extinction of wizards" were rampant.
Since the Wizard World has grown to its current state, Wizard Civilization has never experienced such severe internal and external troubles.
Therefore, it's understandable Levi many wizards hold a pessimistic attitude.
In comparison, Levi was doing well, continuing to work on his experience step by step.
As long as the world doesn't explode, Levi won't take a break! Before long, Levi's Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider Control had been upgraded to Third Order, allowing him to control around a thousand spiders.
To his surprise, the Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider had already reached its limit at only Third Order.
In other words, the limit of this Second-Ring Spell is to control one thousand Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider.
This was also the first time Levi had encountered Second-Ring Spell that reached its limit at the Third Order.
It can only be said that the spells of the Insect School seem to be somewhat special, not conforming to the spells of those traditional schools of thought that he conventionally understood.
At the same time, Levi noticed that the Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider Control and Holy Armor Beetle Touch on the Proficiency Panel had also changed.
Levi ——————
Holy Armor Beetle Touch: Fifth Order (Limit, can be fused) Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider Control: Third Order (Limit, can be fused)...
Levi curiously clicked on the fusion option and read the description.
The general idea is that because the Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider Control and the Holy Armor Beetle Touch spells have a structural similarity of over 60%, these two spells can be directly merged in the panel's judgment.
This is different from the transformation of Fireball Technique into Greater Fireball Technique, which is a complete advancement that can directly break through limits.
Levi discovered that, seemingly, as his strength increased, the flexibility of the Proficiency Panel also continuously improved.
For a moment, Levi was actually pondering such a trivial question as, "What is the origin of the Proficiency Panel?"
In the end, he gave up thinking.
"Integration".
Under Levi's gaze, after expending some mental energy, the two insect-controlling spells on the Proficiency Panel disappeared.
Instead, a new spell was introduced.
Levi ——————
Song of Spider and Scorpion: Fifth Order (1/30000), Special Effect: Spider-Scorpion Heart.
"Another special effect."
[Spider-Scorpion Heart: Your affinity for spider-like and scorpion-like supernatural beings has increased.]
"You can do that?"
Levi was shocked.
Panel Bro, forever a god!
The improved version of "Song of Spider and Scorpion" is a Second-Ring Spell entirely created by Levi.
It's called an original spell, but it's actually a combination of the advantages of Holy Armor Beetle Touch and Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider.
It can control both the Holy Armor Scorpion and the Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider, achieving two goals at once.
Of course, that special effect is also very useful, as it can help Levi grind this spell to its limit more quickly.
Moreover, if Levi encounters spider-like or scorpion-like alien insects in the future, he might be able to use this spell to tame them and thus continuously cultivate even more powerful alien insects.
"I wonder if this spell will be certified by the scholars of the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council."
Levi looked at the brand-new Spell Model in his mind.
If he wanted, he could inscribe the structure of this Spell Model onto Memory Stone Slab for others to learn.
"I'm too weak right now. I'll consider becoming a scholar after I reach the intermediate level."
Moreover, my spell has relatively little originality, so I feel it won't be easy to pass the certification. I'll try to incorporate more Insect School spells in the future.
"That way I might be able to create the most powerful Insect School spell that can control all Zerg once and for all!"
All magic in the world is largely copied, but can the affairs of wizards be called copying? This is borrowing!
The creation of this original spell also gave Levi some inspiration.
It seems that with the current Proficiency Panel, as long as two spells have a certain degree of similarity, they can be merged to create a new spell.
This is similar to the fusion and breakthrough of similar Breathing Technique in Knight's Breathing Technique.
He resolved to experiment with this function using magic tricks from other schools of thought in the future.
In that case, just like the Knight's Breathing Technique, as long as Levi keeps stacking and accumulating, he might be able to create his own Second-Ring Spell, or even Third Ring spells, through tricks and First-Circle Spell.
This way, I won't need to buy those expensive spellbooks anymore; I can just synthesize them myself.
Anyway, magic tricks and First-Circle Spell are relatively cheap and easy to obtain.
However, Levi doesn't have time to deal with this right now.
After serving for more than two years, he accumulated 15,000 merit points.
Right now, what worries Levi the most is still the problem of his Knight's Breathing Technique Secret Medicine.
Although he has made rapid progress in his wizarding path during this period, he has stopped practicing some important Breathing Technique for a long time and cannot delay any longer.
The Merit Tower does have some ingredients for Secret Medicine, but they're too expensive and not cost-effective, plus they're not complete. After all, the materials needed for Knight's Secret Medicine and wizard's medicines can't completely overlap; the Merit Tower is for wizards, not Knight.
It's better to save these merit points for exchanging for magical artifacts and knowledge later.
After serving for more than two years, Levi was able to take a leave of absence. He wanted to go back to Black Fire Island to see those extraordinary creatures and, incidentally, retrieve a sufficient amount of Secret Medicine.
At the same time, he also wanted to find out where Teacher Mai Lin and the others were, and then try to capture the Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile.
Of course, before setting off, in order to make the journey safer.
Levi was determined to take out the Mahakala's Curtain, this Third Ring sorcerer artifact, and thoroughly familiarize himself with it, making it his own sorcerer artifact.
Many Second-Ring Wizard don't even have Second Ring artifacts, but Levi directly possesses Third Ring artifact.
Coupled with his own Knight, he felt that he should be among the top tier below the Third Ring.
As for myself, I have only just entered the Second Ring of the realm. If I were to enter the Second Ring of the senior realm, I wonder if I would be able to cross a major realm and fight against the Third Ring.
