Legendary Physique Breakthrough, Deathly Ash Breathing Technique!
The gap between Third-Ring Wizard and Second-Ring Wizard is even greater than the gap between Second Ring and First Ring.
After the mental energy liquefies, its quality completely surpasses that of Second-Ring Wizard.
The power of Third Ring spells is far greater than that of Second-Ring Wizard.
Moreover, after the spiritual energy is liquefied, the wizard can solidify a talent spell, which is an instinctive spell that can be cast instantly without any casting or chanting.
Therefore, it is said that only above the Third Ring can a wizard truly embark on the path of cultivation, and only then can the wizard's power be truly revealed.
Levi felt that if he could reach the thirteenth level of the Way of the Knight, coupled with the level of Second Ring senior wizard, and trump cards such as the Mahakala's Curtain and the Blood Restriction Cone, he would be able to achieve great success.
He should be able to hold his own against Third Ring- ring wizard? The reason he wasn't sure was because Levi wasn't sure if his level could match that of a Third-Ring Wizard after reaching the thirteenth level of the Breathing Technique.
After all, the Second Ring to the Third Ring is a significant hurdle.
If the thirteenth-tier Golden Snake is indeed comparable to a third- Third Ring, then Levi feels that he will have no problem dealing with ordinary Third-Ring Wizard.
However, if we can't compare them, I believe that with the Golden Snake's defense, plus the superposition of multiple forms, it's formidable.
Even when facing the Third Ring, it remains undefeated.
Of course, these are all just Levi's guesses.
He wouldn't be foolish enough to fight against Third-Ring Wizard. The safest approach would be to wait until he himself advanced to the Third Ring, and then, combined with the strength of Knight, crush the enemy.
He doesn't like evenly matched fights; he prefers to crush his enemies.
He took out the Mahakala's Curtain from his Storage Bag.
This magical artifact had been gathering dust in Levi's Storage Bag for a long time.
This is an extremely practical Third Ring sorcerer's artifact.
Levi had already had the artifact appraised by Wizard Newt, and now he also knew how to use it.
After taking drugs for a period of time, Levi's Art Power limit is also catching up.
To become Third Ring artifact, one must at least solidify a precious Third Ring spell, and the Third Ring spell of the Mahakala's Curtain is [Iron Curtain Blessing].
The black curtain formed an unbreakable iron barrier force field, strong enough to withstand a single strike from Third Ring spell.
These past few days, Levi has been constantly working on getting used to this Third Ring magical artifact.
Such high-quality magical artifacts are not so easy to master.
Seven days later.
Inside Levi Levi's secret chamber, a black ribbon danced and spun around him, like Heavenly Silk wrapped around Levi arms.
"It can grow big or small, it can attack or defend, it can go to the sky or go to the sea, it can do everything. This witch artifact is really good. It can be called the ultimate weakened version of the [Heavenly Silk] in the Wizard World. Now I only need the [Universe Ring] and the [Wind Fire Wheels], and then I can cosplay Nezha."
Levi Weiyou's Fire Tipped Spear is actually the Sea King Halberd. As long as the Red Lotus Karma Fire is attached to it, it becomes the Fire Tipped Spear.
After these days of practice, Levi has completely mastered how to use the Mahakala's Curtain.
Without using the "Iron Curtain Blessing" Third Ring defensive spell, the Art Power consumption of the Mahakala's Curtain is still within Levi's tolerance range, and it shouldn't be a big problem for regular combat.
However, if the Iron Curtain Blessing is to be used, a full 500 points of Art Power are required, and Levi's Art Power is only enough for three uses.
This is what makes the Third Ring spell so terrifying; it requires a massive amount of Art Power and mental energy to support it.
A person with 70 points of mental strength and who has mastered more than five Second-Ring Spell can be called Second Ring senior wizard.
In the Second Ring stage, a wizard's maximum mental strength is 100 points and maximum Art Power is 3000 points.
Levi put the magical artifact into his Storage Bag and stood up.
"I'm still missing a Second Ring active defense spell to serve as my Second Ring defensive force field. However, once an active defense spell is chosen, it cannot be changed. There's no rush. At least it has to be Second-Ring Spell with A-grade defense strength to qualify as my defensive force field."
After this period of dormancy.
Levi's strength has increased significantly compared to before. After all, the Knight's methods are too terrifying, and many times, he still has to rely on the wizard's methods to fight the enemy.
He had already informed Ha Fuman, Ha Fuman had submitted Levi's leave request to the tower master for approval, and it had been approved.
Levi has completed the Potion Making tasks for the past two years to a high standard, so taking a three-month leave is naturally no problem for him.
Three hundred merit points will be deducted every three months, which is not much for Levi now.
Grimm was puzzled when he heard that Levi was going to leave for a while.
"With things so chaotic outside right now, honestly, the safest place in the Endless Sea is a military fortress like Torrent City," Grimm said helplessly.
"There are a few things I still need to take care of. By the way, do you have the formula for Second Ring Meditation Aid Potion? If so, I can buy it, as usual, just for my personal use," Levi asked.
Grimm shrugged and gave a wry smile, "This is Second Ring Meditation Aid Potion. You think too highly of our family. But I saw that the Merit Shop has the potion recipe. With all your hard work, you must have accumulated quite a few merits."
"It's all hard-earned money. How much can I earn? The Meditation Potion recipe over there requires at least 30,000 merit points. I'll wait for Ha Fuman to give it to me."
Levi informed Grimm and Toman, then bid farewell to Grimm and turned to leave.
Toman has been busy with the important matter of breaking through to the Second-Ring Potion Maker lately, and has been in seclusion to Potion Making. I haven't seen him for a long time.
This guy agreed to use his family's resources to help Levi Wei find out where Teacher Li and the others are. Whether or not it will succeed, having more hope is always a good thing.
Levi, on the other hand, went alone to the port where the magic airships docked.
"I'm not in a hurry for Meditation Aid Potion. I'll take it slow. Even without the aids, my cultivation won't be slow."
So far, Levi and his team have primarily Potion Making red, Green Potion, as well as some wartime healing agents. They haven't yet developed Meditation Aid Potion.
He knew that Ha Fuman must have the formula for the Second Ring Meditation Aid Potion, Levi had been waiting for a chance to get it for free.
At the lower levels of wizarding, potions are merely icing on the cake for wizards like Levi who possess elemental affinity, not essential.
However, once you reach the intermediate level or higher, even the Child of Element will need a lot of potions as an aid.
Back then, talent mattered on one hand, and resources on the other.
As the Child of Element, one generally doesn't need to worry about resources; Great Wizard organizations will be vying for them.
Although Levi's talent was enhanced by the Breathing Technique, in the eyes of wizards, he was still the Child of Chaos.
After the Third Ring, he will also face a choice: whether to continue as a rogue cultivator and rely on himself, or to reveal some of his talents and enter a large wizarding organization for cultivation.
Levi now tends to expose his talent for Potion Making- Potion Making, using it to pry open that insurmountable threshold, and then drive the overall cultivation of his wizarding profession.
Torrent City is now the perfect place for Levi to rise to power.
He heard from Grimm that the Torrent Tower, where the two city lords resided, would occasionally release some spots for rogue cultivators or wizards in Torrent City who wanted to switch jobs.
Joining a High-Rank Wizard organization like the Torrent Tower can grant access to resources and a higher social status.
Moreover, if Rekman joins the Torrent Tower, the interest groups behind him will think twice before making a move against him.
Levi also understood the requirements for entry.
Firstly, the Child of Element, needless to say, with this talent, regardless of cultivation level, can be specially recruited.
Secondly, dual elemental affinity requires First-Circle Wizard before the age of thirty.
Thirdly, those who reach the Third-Ring Wizard before the age of one hundred are not limited by talent.
Finally, those who possess expertise in Potion Making, Artifact Forging, magic array Alchemy, or scholarship.
Of course, if you are Fourth Ring Wizard or Fifth Ring wizard, you can naturally join in. The Torrent Tower definitely welcomes the strong.
But the Fourth Ring and Fifth Ring are so far away that most wizards wouldn't even dare to dream of them.
For Levi Wei, the first two were out of the question, so the third and fourth were no problem.
He's only 53 years old and already Second-Ring Wizard; reaching the Third Ring before he turns 100 shouldn't be a problem...
Moreover, his Knight's Breathing Technique might generate even more elemental affinity effects. Perhaps one effect isn't as powerful as the Child of Element, but they add up.
He still didn't believe that with so many special effects and his own stats, he couldn't overwhelm the Child of Element.
Therefore, Levi's estimate of Third Ring before the age of 100 is conservative.
If things go smoothly, it won't take that long.
Airship port.
Levi gazed at the Torrent City behind him and boarded the airship.
On the airship, there were also some wizards like himself who had asked for leave to go home.
Their faces were etched with exhaustion, and some were even disabled because they hadn't received proper treatment and had to have their limbs amputated and fitted with Alchemy Prosthetic by the military.
These are all battle wizards. Sure enough, those who have been carrying out demon-hunting missions for a long time are bound to get their shoes wet.
That's why Levi stayed in the Potion Master's Tower.
The battlefield is not a game; there are no level restrictions. Even in the outer areas, terrifying level 3 Magic Creature may suddenly appear, bringing devastating damage.
Even if the Abyssal Well is truly opened, it wouldn't be surprising for Levi if a high- Abyss Civilization suddenly appeared in Torrent City.
Levi also spotted Kan Ku Er Arrow of Wind Chasing the corner, sitting there alone, staring blankly at a portrait.
Levi vaguely remembered that Kan Ku Er seemed to have a lover, who most likely died in the war.
Kan Ku Er now only has one leg left; the other leg has been transformed into Alchemy Prosthetic.
There is currently a shortage of wizards in Torrent City who have mastered the School of Life magic, and there are far too few healing wizards. An urgent request is being made to headquarters.
Even ordinary healing agents have difficulty regenerating severed limbs.
Furthermore, due to the corrosive effects of demonic energy, there was no time to waste, Kan Ku Er had no choice but to undergo Alchemy Prosthetic modification.
Levi watched this scene with a sense of emotion.
Compared to Kan Ku Er and the others, I should be lucky enough.
Two weeks later.
The magic airship successfully arrived at Bass Island.
After disembarking from the airship, Levi did not delay and quickly headed towards his Black Fire Island.
From afar, Levi could see the outline of Black Fire Island. According to his perception, the magic array was intact and showed no signs of damage.
Before even setting foot on the island, the joyful whale songs of Leviathan rang out.
In an instant, it was as if a rallying call had been sounded.
On the shore, the Red Sand Ape, the Poison Fire Bone Serpent, the Red Fire Dragon Lizard, and the Black Flame Demon Bird all came out to line up and greet Levi.
Seeing this, Levi was relieved.
Thank goodness, our house wasn't robbed.
Firstly, Black Fire Island might be too remote, and secondly, his own Shadowless Traceless Array might have worked.
Having not harvested any leeks for over two years, these guys were full of energy and vitality, fawning over Levi.
Finally, after Levi's series of maneuvers, these guys were finally intimidated.
"Wait for me a little longer. Once the big house is ready, you can move into your new home and come with me to see a wider world," Levi said softly, rubbing the horn of Leviathan.
The herbs on Black Fire Island were also growing well, and Levi casually harvested a batch.
After letting Ace take a nice bath in the lava, Levi also set up some of the new magic arrays he had researched during his time in Torrent City on Black Fire Island.
"Sigh, even after the war ends, I may not have the chance to live on Black Fire Island anymore, but having lived here for so long, I'm bound to feel nostalgic."
Levi sighed and rode Leviathan around the Gray-White Tower.
The people from Whale Song Lonely Island still occupy that area. It seems that the situation in Ninth District hasn't been good in the past few years. After so long, they still haven't taken down that old bastard Morpheus.
The disappearance of Teacher Mai Lin and the others is definitely related to Whale Song Lonely Island.
Levi still needs to settle this score.
However, I'll have to wait until I advance to the Third Ring.
He hoped that old devil Morpheus wouldn't die in this Black-White War. He would personally take the old man's head and let the Holy Armor Scorpion devour his soul, so that he would never be reincarnated.
After learning about the situation in Ninth District, Levi arrived at the dangerous sea area where the Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile had been discovered.
I wonder if that guy is still around after all this time. If I could tame him, he would be excellent, both as Secret Medicine and as a battle pet.
On the island piled with bones, Gustav finished basking in the sun and then opened his dim, yellow eyes.
His vertical pupils were filled with indifference.
It swayed its body and entered the sea.
Gustav was hungry and was about to begin its hunt, not knowing which sea creature would be the lucky one.
Shortly after Gustav left, a young-looking silver-haired witch stealthily emerged from the seabed and landed on Gustav's island.
The silver-haired witch had a shapely figure and exuded youthful vitality. She endured the stench as she searched among the mountain of corpses, finally finding the skeleton of an unknown sea beast.
I found a dark green herb with pale white flowers.
"Corpse Soul Flower, a top-grade herb among the Third Ring herbs, is one of the ingredients for the [Soul Nourishing Potion]. It can be taken directly to nourish the soul and heal minor soul injuries."
"Great! We can get enough resources for six months of training from the Green Forest Witch."
This witch looks to be around thirty years old. To reach the First-Circle Wizard at this age is usually extraordinary.
The silver-haired witch carefully collected the Corpse Soul Grass and placed it in a specially made container.
"Phew, let's see if there are any more. That sea beast is terrifying. It's no less powerful than the Second-Ring Wizard of the Green Forest Tower."
The silver-haired witch muttered to herself that her mental age seemed to be younger than her actual age, especially since she was already quite young.
So she gives the impression of being like a little girl.
If you look closely, the silver-haired witch's ears are slightly more pointed than normal, somewhat like an elf's ears.
With each breath she exhaled, a chill emanated from her, causing her body temperature to drop considerably.
In the end, the silver-haired witch successfully found two Corpse Soul Grasses and left the waters satisfied.
Just then, she sensed that huge waves suddenly surged on the sea behind her, and a tsunami was sweeping in. At the top of the waves, a Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile was riding the current and riding the waves.
"Oh no, the Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile has spotted me?"
The silver-haired witch quickly retreated, surrounded by fluttering green leaves that enveloped her. A gentle breeze carried her into the sky, where she drifted with the wind.
"Fortunately, I have the magical artifact bestowed upon me by the Green Forest Witch." She breathed a sigh of relief and looked down.
The Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile did not chase after her.
At this moment, the silver-haired witch realized that the huge creature didn't seem to have noticed her; rather, it was fleeing...
Because behind that huge creature, a wizard held a black ribbon, one end of which was tightly wrapped around the tail of the Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile.
"Don't run away. I won't hurt you. As long as you submit to me and follow me, I guarantee you'll advance to the Third Ring."
The wizard was shouting, his body radiating golden light, as if cast from pure gold, like a divine general from mythology.
The explosive muscles exuded an aura of male hormones.
Gustav, however, only wanted to escape.
Damn it.
What kind of monster is this?
In terms of strength and defense, this mighty Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile, a hybrid of Dragonkind, actually failed to gain the upper hand.
This doesn't look like a wizard at all.
Gustav was not without his battles against wizards.
The problem is, what kind of wizard is throwing Fireball Technique one moment, and the next, seeing that the Fireball Technique aren't working, immediately rolls up their robes and starts hand-to-hand combat with the sea monster?
Is there no justice left? On the other side.
Levi's Mahakala's Curtain gripped the tail of the Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile tightly.
"This big guy's defense is almost as good as my Golden Serpent Scales, and its Dragonkind bloodline is quite strong. It seems that the Second Ring isn't its limit, and it might even advance to the Third Ring. Such a top-quality pet should belong to me!"
Levi thought to himself.
He encountered the Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile, which he had been longing for, halfway there.
He took action on the spot.
With his current strength, defeating his opponent should not be difficult in theory.
Unexpectedly, this Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile is even more ferocious than described in the information, definitely possessing the strength of Second Ring senior wizard.
Even with his somewhat mastered Five Fireball Technique, he could only inflict minor injuries on this guy.
It should be noted that although his Five Fireball Technique is only at the Sixth Order, with the blessing of the Earth-Fire Dominator, its power should be at the level of B.
Surprisingly, this couldn't defeat the Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile, and Levi's defenses were immediately breached.
His first battle as Second-Ring Wizard ended in defeat.
He immediately used his Knight ability, using the Mahakala's Curtain to entangle it, intending to exhaust the creature's stamina and capture it alive.
Moreover, judging from its appearance, this Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile is only just an adult and has not yet entered its true prime.
For this type of Dragonkind hybrid, there is no such thing as a decline in strength with age.
Like wizards, Dragonkind become stronger and larger the longer they live.
In Levi's view, this guy's true limit is not the Second Ring; he is very likely to advance to the Third Ring, or even the Fourth Ring in the future...
Although it will take a long time, it's a good thing overall.
Once he subdues this behemoth, Levi can continue to exploit the Dragonkind bloodline, which is at least compatible with water elements, for a very long time.
The silver-haired witch stared blankly at the violent scene below.
"This... is this a bloodline-modified wizard? Why does it feel different from the bloodline-modified wizards under the witch's command?"
She was deeply shocked; she actually began to worry about the ferocious and violent Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile.
As the king of this sea, it had never suffered such humiliation.
In the end, with Golden Scales wrapped around him and Karmic Fire Burning Body, Levi pinned the exhausted Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile to the ground.
The Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile was already exhausted.
Its deadly maw was completely enveloped and bound by Levi's Mahakala's Curtain.
Levi had seen crocodiles caught in fish farms, and they used snares like this to cover their mouths.
Although the Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile also possessed powerful Spell-like Abilities abilities, it was unable to break through Levi's defenses and was even sealed by Levi's Blood Restriction Cone.
The only thing that could pose a fatal threat to Levi is this big mouth.
Now, it's completely out of options.
He was pinned to the ground by Levi and gave up struggling.
Levi could see that there was a glint of intelligence in the crocodile's eyes.
"Submit to me, or death will await you!"
Levi exuded a powerful aura, and the Golden Snake effect [Dragon's Might] was activated.
First, conquer it with your own strength and the Dragon's Might, and then use [Dragon Affinity] and [Heart of Nature] to slowly and truly tame it.
One day, Levi will make this Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile as obedient as Leviathan.
As Second Ring extraordinary creature and a hybrid Dragonkind, the Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile could naturally sense the suppression of Levi's bloodline level.
Having roamed this sea area for so many years, it had never witnessed such pure Dragonkind majesty, Dragon Might that could only be born from Dragon Spawn and above.
The Dragon Spawn are all at the level of high-level extraordinary creatures, which is between the Sixth Ring and eighth rings.
As for pure-blooded Dragonkind, they start at the Ninth Ring, which means they are legendary creatures.
In fact, Gustav's bloodline was already considered to be in the middle to upper range among Mixed-blooded Dragon, but unfortunately he encountered Levi.
He mastered a whole host of Dragonkind -type Breathing Technique, including Golden Snake, Red Lotus, Silver Mountain Dragon, Jade Dragon, and Ember Dragon, all of which were at a level far superior to Gustav's Primal Ancestor.
Although Levi's bloodline is now very thin, this overwhelming power at the source level still fills Gustav with fear, making him want to submit.
It struggled fiercely, but Levi remained unmoved. The Tyrant crashed to the ground and, together with him, pinned Gustav to the ground.
After another beating, Gustav lowered his noble head and stopped resisting.
Levi did not release the giant creature for the time being. He took some blood from it and put it into the Rowling Crystal.
[9% Overturning Sea Crocodile Dragon bloodline, 7% Heaven Armor Mist Dragon bloodline, 98% Crocodile bloodline...]
"Sure enough, the concentration of Dragonkind blood is much higher than that of Leviathan and the others. They are not even on the same level. Even the concentration of Dragonkind blood in Yolman's blood is not as high as this thing."
"The Secret Medicine made from this giant's blood will definitely allow me to experience the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique much faster," Levi thought to himself.
He took out a stone tablet, which was the [Dragon Race Common Knowledge Stone Tablet]. It was a book jointly published by a group of niche Dragon School wizards and School of Life wizards, which Levi had redeemed at the Merit Tower.
"Overturning Sea Crocodile Dragon: Mixed-blooded Dragon, Race Limit, Fifth Ring".
"Heaven Armor Mist Dragon: Mixed-blooded Dragon, Race Limit, Fifth Ring".
"This guy's bloodline is the top-tier hybrid Dragonkind bloodline. The Overturning Sea Crocodile Dragon is the darling of the sea, born with powerful water- Spell-like Abilities abilities, while the Heaven Armor Mist Dragon is the darling of the wind and excels in defense."
This Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile, if it were in ancient times, would have been a vicious dragon that stirred up storms and Wind Caller.
Levi was very satisfied.
The Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile lay helplessly on the ground.
And so, Levi and Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile remained on the island.
Levi savored the food, replenishing his strength. After emptying a small Storage Bag of food, he licked his lips with his forked tongue, still wanting more.
On the other side, the Mahakala's Curtain, the Tyrant, Skein control the Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile.
Suddenly, the Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile let out a roar.
A young voice emerged in Levi's mind.
"Gustav is willing to acknowledge you as his master and establish the Dragon Covenant."
The sound was so abrupt that it startled Levi, who was eating over there.
Then he remembered that when he was reading about Dragonkind, it was mentioned that mixed-blood Dragonkind with high bloodline concentration could communicate using dragon language.
Moreover, these hybrid Dragonkind often have their own true Dragonkind names.
"Looks like I'm half a half- Dragonkind now..." Levi thought to himself.
That's why he can naturally understand dragon language.
Leviathan and the Red Fire Dragon Lizard don't have enough concentration to communicate with Levi, and neither does Yolman.
"Gustav, is it? I agree to establish the Dragon Covenant. If we had done this sooner, we could have avoided all this physical suffering." Levi said with a smile.
The Dragon Covenant is a legacy memory possessed only by high-level hybrid Dragonkind like Gustav, and it is an ability that can only be used among Dragonkind.
In this covenant, lower-level Dragonkind submit to higher-level Dragonkind, recognize them as their masters, and fight for them; they are also known as "Subordinate Dragon".
Similarly, higher-level Dragonkind also need to protect lower-level Dragonkind as much as possible; these are known as the "Master Dragon".
This relationship, similar to that between lords and subjects in the Emerald Kingdom, is actually quite common in the Dragonkind World.
"Interesting."
Levi was in high spirits after successfully subduing Gustav. He began searching Gustav's island. There had been a witch looking for something there before, but Levi was busy fighting Gustav and ignored her.
However, he had already preserved the witch's aura with his Golden Serpent's Tongue and planned to go find her later.
Levi sensed a trace of Mai Lin's presence on the witch...
After subduing Gustav, Leviathan mustered his courage and came to the island full of skeletons, then looked at one of the huge whale skeletons and began to wail.
Levi picked up some Storage Bag from Gustav's lair, along with some Great Stone and materials for free.
Then he looked at Leviathan sobbing over there.
"What? Is this your ancestor?"
Levi also discovered that where Gustav had been, there was a skeleton much larger than Gustav, about a hundred meters long, with a slender body, and it did indeed look similar to the Dragon King Whale.
"Master Dragon, these bones existed before I used this island as my nest," Gustav's voice echoed in my mind.
A thought struck Levi, and he painstakingly dug out the enormous skeleton that had been buried in the sand and rocks.
"I wonder if this thing can help Leviathan advance."
Leviathan was the first sea creature Levi tamed, so he developed a bond with it. Levi's achievements today are inseparable from Leviathan's support.
He naturally wanted Leviathan to advance as well.
Levi began to search carefully and eventually found a broken horn on the skull of the huge skeleton.
He could sense the aura of the hybrid Dragonkind within it, which was very similar to the aura emanating from Leviathan.
It should be some kind of ancient relative of Leviathan.
Although this broken horn has the aura of the Dragonkind, it can no longer be used as material due to the erosion of time, and the factors that were used as Secret Medicine within it have long since dissipated.
What truly caught Levi's attention was a plant that resembled a mushroom on the cross-section of the broken corner.
The mushroom, sealed within layers of Amber- like transparent material, still exudes vitality.
"Parasitic Blood Bacteria, it turns out to be this kind of thing."
If Levi hadn't been researching a niche medicine recently, he probably wouldn't have recognized this type of fungus.
This fungus, similar to the worms found in Cordyceps sinensis, can parasitize the bodies of certain powerful organisms, absorbing their blood to grow.
These blood bacteria appear to have parasitized this ancient behemoth, but with the behemoth's death, they were miraculously preserved, like fossils, and sealed here.
"This is a good thing. It must contain extremely refined bloodline essence, and it is most likely from the ancestors of Leviathan."
I remember there was a potion recipe in the Merit Tower that the Spiritism School used to help spirit beasts break through their bloodline shackles.
If it can be successfully refined, Leviathan might break free from its limitations and evolve towards the Second Ring, or even towards its ancestor. In that case, I'll have a continuous supply of ingredients for my Secret Medicine ..."
Levi was excited.
I never expected that subduing Gustav would also bring me such a treasure.
This trip was worth it.
Levi simply cut off the broken corner. This huge skeleton was very strong when it was alive, but after the erosion of the long river of time, the skeleton had long been weathered away, so it was not difficult to break it off.
I carefully preserved the blood bacteria and put it away.
Levi happily led Leviathan and Gustav away from the island.
Not long after, Levi appeared in a sea area of Eighth District.
He frowned, looking deep in thought.
"The breath stopped here... Where did that girl go?"
Suddenly, Levi had a guess in his mind.
"Could it be that there is a secret entrance to a realm in this sea area?"
Thinking about this...
To verify his idea, Levi found a place to cultivate while waiting.
With Gustav, the Tyrant, Skein protectors, Levi can cultivate with complete peace of mind.
One of the most important reasons he came out this time was to find Mai Lin and the others.
Now that he has finally found some clues, he naturally cannot give up easily.
It's impossible for First-Circle Wizard to simply vanish into thin air right under my nose.
Seven days later.
Levi opened his eyes.
"The Ember Dragon Breathing Technique has reached its Eleventh-Order Limit," he muttered to himself.
He is now completely indifferent to such matters.
Levi ——————
Ember Dragon Breathing Technique: Eleventh Order (limit), special effect: Scale Ash (solid), Ash Entanglement.
[Scale Ash: Flames from the Ember Dragon can heal wounds and suppress the enemy's self-healing ability. This effect increases as the Breathing Technique levels up.] "As expected, it's pretty much what I imagined." Levi had already guessed the effect of this special ability.
Overall, the self-healing effect of Scale Ash is much weaker than that of Phoenix Blood Ash. The strength of Scale Ash lies in its ability to prevent others from healing themselves.
If you encounter an unkillable cockroach like Blood Clan, Scale Ash is a god-tier skill.
The fact that Hogg, a mere Great Knight, could injure Original Blood Clan with this special effect is proof of that.
The other special effect, however, is much more interesting.
[Ash Entanglement: The Ashes power within you forms an Ashes field surrounding your body, creating an effective defense. This effect cannot be upgraded, but its effectiveness can be enhanced as your Breathing Technique is upgraded.] Levi activated the Ember Dragon Breathing Technique, Ember Dragon Seed within his body erupted with endless Ashes.
These Ashes continuously spewed forth from Levi's limbs and bones, swirling and dancing around Levi, seemingly without end.
Levi let the Tyrant swing his giant axe at him.
The power of the giant axe strike, comparable to that of a normal Second-Ring Spell, entered the ember field surrounding Levi, where it was caught in the swirl and encountered an obstruction.
However, this ember field did not last long before it shattered.
After all, the Ember Dragon Breathing Technique was only at the Eleventh Order, and this effect had already exceeded Levi's expectations.
"This defensive power is surprisingly good. It's basically equivalent to a First Ring defensive force field, which can temporarily make up for the fact that I don't have a defensive force field. Once the Ember Dragon Breathing Technique reaches the twelfth level, Ash Entanglement should be at the level of Second Ring defensive force field."
The Legendary Realm organ of the Ember Dragon Breathing Technique is somewhat different from other Breathing Technique.
The Legendary Realm part is Levi's eye, or more precisely, Levi's left eye.
This Legendary Realm organ, which Levi calls the "Ash Eye".
Levi's pupils turned gray and lost their light.
Levi's world became gray and utterly bleak.
Ashes always fall from the sky, like Snowflake, landing on the sea.
Endless Ashes also floated on the sea surface.
This is the world as seen through the Ember Dragon, a lifeless Ash World.
In the Ash World, there is no distinction of color, only varying shades of gray and specks of fiery red.
Meanwhile, Gustav and his group were surrounded by bonfires burning with embers.
Levi gazed at the school of fish before him, which resembled burning sparks.
With a thought, as he gazed upon them, the sparks began to dim and eventually turned into Ashes.
From Skein's perspective, Levi only glanced at the passing schools of fish.
The fish died inexplicably, floating lifelessly on the sea surface.
Levi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the world had returned to normal.
Blue skies and white clouds—that vibrant, colorful world is back.
In his hand, a faint Ember Fire appeared, radiating a gentle vitality.
This vitality comes from the school of fish we just saw.
"What kind of ability is this? It's so strange."
Levi gazed at the dead fish floating on the sea surface.
They looked perfectly fine, but with a casual whistle from Levi, these dead fish turned to Ashes and drifted across the sea.
"These ordinary fish simply cannot withstand the gaze of the Ash Eye..."
This is some kind of bizarre eye technique that can deprive the weak of their life force simply by looking at them.
These chances of life will appear in Levi's palm in the form of some kind of Ember Fire.
And these Ember Fire seem to be able to heal Levi's injuries.
However, the true purpose of the Ember Fire is certainly not like that; it's just that Levi hasn't discovered it yet.
That world of Ashes felt so real, unlike the illusion created by the eye technique.
Perhaps, in the Ember Dragon, the world of color in which Levi resides is an illusion.
But that Ash World was the real one.
Zhuangzi dreamt he was a butterfly, and the butterfly dreamt he was Zhuangzi.
After a moment's thought, Levi found a safe place and asked Skein to keep an eye on the sea area where the silver-haired witch had disappeared.
Levi wanted to fuse and mutate the Ember Dragon Breathing Technique and the Phoenix Breathing Technique, and also incorporated the earliest obtained Vortex Beast Breathing Technique as a raw material.
Before long, a brand new Breathing Technique was born.
Levi ——————
Death Ash Breathing Technique: Eleventh Order (1/300000), Special effects: Feather Ash (solid), Rise from the Ashes, Ash Entanglement, Ember Summons.
Judging from the appearance of the Death Ash.
The creature called Death Ash should be some kind of Dragon-type Creature with black feathers.
It has bird wings, bird feet, a dragon's head, and a dragon's tail, exuding an ominous aura and possessing a strange beauty.
Like the Golden Snake and Vajra, the Death Ash is an existence created by Levi himself.
The Feather Ash effect is pretty straightforward; it's essentially a combination of the Phoenix and the Ash Dragon's strengths, possessing both powerful self-healing abilities and the ability to prevent enemies from healing themselves. This move is incredibly cunning.
Levi was more concerned about was a new special effect that appeared after the mutation.
[Ember Summons: You can use the "embers" of your enemies to bribe a powerful Ashes creature from the Ash World to fight for you. The more "embers" you send out, the stronger the Ashes creature becomes, but the Ashes creature you bribe cannot exceed your current strength limit. This effect cannot be upgraded.] According to Levi's estimation, the so-called embers should be the enemy's life force. As for how to deprive this life force and offer it to the so-called Ashes creature, Levi thought of the Ash Eye.
"I see, that's how the Ember Fire are used."
Levi understood immediately.
However, he hasn't had a chance to try it yet.
He was interrupted by a shout that came Skein afar.
Skein flew rapidly across the sea ahead, shouting as he flew:
"Master, save me!"
Levi was so engrossed in studying Breathing Technique that he forgot about this thing.
Behind Skein, two strangely shaped Second-Ring Wizard, who appeared to be bloodline-modified wizards, were cursing and swearing.
"You damned Blood Clan, stop right there!"
"I didn't do anything wrong, so why are you chasing me?" Skein he ran.
"Because you are Blood Clan!"
"Blood Clan's life is a life too!" Skein retorted weakly.
"You're just making excuses. I'll catch you and soak you in medicine."
The attacks from both Second-Ring Wizard were directed at Skein.
Just as Skein was about to be overwhelmed by the spells of the two Second-Ring Wizard, Levi flicked the Mahakala's Curtain.
They entangled and pulled Skein towards them, and the spells bombarded the Mahakala's Curtain like dazzling fireworks, booming loudly.
"What a powerful magical artifact! Who are you? Why are you colluding with the Blood Clan?"
A wizard looked cautiously at Levi and asked.
"What do you mean by 'going with the flow'? This is my pet," Levi sneered.
"Why is your pet lurking around the entrance to our organization's secret realm? I think you're Black Wizard," another wizard questioned.
"Stop wasting time talking to him. He must be Black Wizard. I didn't expect that even though we hid so well, we were still discovered by Black Wizard. We must kill him to prevent our whereabouts from being revealed."
Levi was puzzled. How did I become Black Wizard?
He flashed his membership card and said bluntly, "I'm not Black Wizard. You two ugly things, your bloodline modifications must have messed up your brains."
"There's no point in saying more. Either come with us to see our master, or we'll erase this memory from your mind. The choice is yours," a wizard said, softening his tone.
It seems that Levi really isn't Black Wizard, but these are critical times, and the location of the organization's secret realm must not be exposed!
"I don't want to fight with either of you. I think we can sit down and have a proper talk."
Levi sighed and said, "Let's try to communicate."
Because he now most likely knows which organization is in this secret realm.
At first, Levi was unsure of the silver-haired witch's identity, but now, combined with the two bloodline-modified wizards, long-forgotten memories resurfaced in Levi's mind.
"The silver-haired little girl on the Dogo ship was named Ciri, I think... If that's the case, the organization here is most likely the Green Forest Tower."
Because the Green Forest Witch is a Third Ring powerhouse of the School of Life, many of the wizards under her command are bloodline-modified wizards.
Having no grudge against the Green Forest Witch, he naturally did not want to anger this powerful figure.
Moreover, it seems that...
Teacher Mai Lin must also be in the secret realm. She must have been accepted by the Green Forest Witch, since the two of them have a good relationship.
"Then why don't you come with us into the secret realm?" The two wizards naturally didn't want to fight.
The person before me is no ordinary being. He has a level two Blood Clan as a pet, Third Ring magical artifact, a powerful Alchemy creature, and, in the distance, beneath the surface of the sea, the aura of a terrifying behemoth lurking beneath the surface.
All of this demonstrates the man's formidable strength.
They wouldn't dare to provoke such a being.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must be from the Green Forest Tower," Levi asked, not in a hurry to enter the secret realm.
We still need to confirm this beforehand.
"That's right, it is indeed the Green Forest Tower. We have no ill intentions towards you."
However, you must enter the secret realm with us no matter what, so that our tower master can make the decision.
"Whether you did it intentionally or unintentionally, now that you know our organization's location, we can't let you leave easily. We hope you understand." They calmed down and said.
"I won't go in. Who knows if there are traps in your secret realm? If it's convenient, you can send a message to your Green Forest Witch and say that Li Wei, the apprentice of Mylin from the Gray Tower, has come to pay his respects."
"Are you the apprentice of Deputy Tower Master Mai Lin?" a wizard asked, slightly surprised.
"The deputy tower master does indeed have an apprentice named Levi, but he is First-Circle Wizard..."
Seeing that Levi didn't seem to be faking it, the two wizards were shocked.
"Are these apprentices of Mai Lin's already better than their teachers?" "Wait here for a moment, we'll inform them immediately."
After the two Second-Ring Wizard sent a message using a special communication tool, they kept an eye on Levi to prevent him from escaping.
Before long, several auras appeared on the sea surface and quickly rushed towards Levi.
Among them was the aura of a powerful Third-Ring Wizard. Levi remembered this aura vividly; it was none other than Lola Green Forest Witch who had registered him as a pharmacist.
The other auras were all familiar to Levi, which brought a smile to his lips.
"Little Levi, it's been a long time!" Mai Lin said happily from the sea ahead.
"Teacher, I'm back." Levi said with a sigh of relief and a joyful expression.
Mai Lin, with her wrinkled face and bright eyes, stood before me, looking no different from before.
After not seeing him for several years, Winnie, standing next to Mai Lin, almost didn't recognize Levi.
She sensed Levi's immense spiritual power, which seemed to be no less than that of Granny Mai.
This means that in just a few years, Levi has already become Second-Ring Wizard.
Marco and Teacher Tim were also reluctant to recognize each other. Although they had made progress over the years, they were still quite far from reaching the Second Ring.
Who would have thought that the Little Levi of yesteryear would now be Second-Ring Wizard?
Even a powerful Third Ring expert like the Green Forest Witch was slightly surprised.
To be honest, she didn't have any special impression of Levi at first, only knowing that he was Mai Lin's apprentice.
She met too many people in her long life, but only a few left a deep impression on her.
But the confident aura that Levi exudes now makes it hard for her to connect her with the timid and humble young man who sought her out for pharmacist certification.
"Alright, now that you and your disciple have met, Mai Lin, you don't need to keep nagging. Go inside; this isn't a place to linger," the Green Forest Witch said with a smile. "But what about that Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile?"
"Lord Green Forest, that's my pet too..." Levi said with a smile.
The two bloodline-modifying wizards were also still shaken.
That terrifying behemoth really was that person's pet! Luckily, they resisted the urge to fight.
What kind of amazing person is this, with both Blood Clan pets and sea monster pets?
If a real fight breaks out, they probably wouldn't even be able to beat Levi's pet.
Throughout the journey, the silver-haired witch Ciri kept her eyes on Levi. She had witnessed Levi unleash his power, directly chasing after the terrifying Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile.
Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be Granny Mai's apprentice.
Levi also noticed Ciri, who had been stealing glances at him. He looked at her, and the little girl immediately hid behind the Green Forest Witch.
He couldn't help but smile slightly; this little girl was quite interesting.
"This is Ciri, my apprentice," the Green Forest Witch said with a smile.
Levi laughed heartily, not minding at all. He even took out a witch artifact he no longer used, the Azure Glove, and handed it to Ciri.
"This magical artifact works quite well. You can take it and use it; it's a small token of my appreciation."
Ciri's eyes lit up, but she didn't dare to take it.
Only after the Green Forest Witch nodded did she carefully accept it. "Thank you, senior!"
Levi sighed inwardly. It seemed that the Gray-White Tower was gone, and it had most likely merged with the Green Forest Tower.
Levi didn't care what the organization was called; as long as Mai Lin and the others were there, it didn't matter.
No matter how powerful he becomes now, he will never forget the kindness that Mai Lin and the Tower Master showed him when he first arrived in the Wizard World.
