"Well, sir, are you satisfied with the goods?" the Wizard Sada asked with a smile.

"Are these all the Fur Race?" Levi asked.

"Yes, sir, these Fur Race are all of the highest quality. Look at that female rabbit from the Rabbit-Ear Race, her figure, her waist, her long legs, and..."

"I don't need pretty Fur Race, I need the kind who can guard my house and be my helper," Levi interrupted Sada.

"I see. So those are the Tiger-Skin Race, the Lion-Fur Race, and the Black Panther Race." Sada pointed to the group of burly men in the far corner.

The tallest Tiger-Skin Race man, standing four meters tall and possessing a robust physique, stared blankly at Levi.

According to Sada, this Tiger-Skin Race strongman was the strongest Fur Race in the Black Market for slaves.

He was once the chieftain of a tribe of the Tiger-Skin Race, and his strength was comparable to that of First-Circle Wizard.

In other words, this Tiger-Skin Race expert, although he did not practice any Knight's Breathing Technique or anything like that, was born with strength comparable to Legendary Knight.

This is the advantage that comes from their naturally strong physique.

According to current research by shamans of the School of Life, the ancestors of the Fur Race should be various kinds of fur-bearing wild animals.

For some reason that has not yet been discovered, these beasts are converging and evolving in the direction of humanoid beings.

Ultimately, they evolved into the diverse Fur Race we know today.

There were no strong individuals among the Fur Race. Before the wizards colonized their homeland, they existed as vassals of another powerful civilization, performing menial labor.

Females such as those from the Rabbit-Ear Race, Cat-Ear Race, and Fox-Tail Race, who are cute, beautiful, and conform to the conventional humanoid aesthetic, serve as various kinds of maids, prostitutes, etc.

So, this ethnic group is really in a terrible situation.

Fortunately, the Fur Race was relatively easy to tame, which is why they were not wiped out.

"Do they speak Common Tongue?" Levi asked.

"Yes, these Fur Race, except for the chief of the Tiger-Skin Race, were all born in the Wizard World. You can rest assured about that, sir," Sada said.

Based on his intuition, Levi selected three of the strongest Fur Race warriors, one from each of the Lion, Tiger, and Leopard tribes.

The Tiger-Skin Race excels in strength, the Black Panther Race in speed, and the Lion-Fur Race is more well-rounded.

Aside from the Tiger-Skin Race, the Black Panther and Lion-Fur Race are only at the level of Peak Great Knight.

This race basically has no strong individuals; it would be quite an achievement if even one person could rival a Legendary Knight.

These three slaves cost Levi a total of one thousand Great Stone. Only the Tiger-Skin Race chief, who was comparable to First-Circle Wizard, was relatively expensive; the other two were worthless.

In general, the purchase of these foreign slaves was simply for the novelty of the trade.

Otherwise, a slave who doesn't even have the strength of Legendary Knight would be worth at most a few Great Stone.

After completing the formalities and paying the money, Levi was accompanied by three burly men dressed in black robes.

These people will be the personal guards of the wizard Levi.

Many low-level wizards are not good at melee combat, so it's normal for them to train some bodyguards.

Before leaving, Levi casually glanced at the female Fur Race.

A White Wolf Race girl, all white with a tall, slender, and well-proportioned figure, caught Levi's attention.

At first he didn't notice, but after carefully sensing it, he discovered that this unassuming White Wolf Girl actually had quite vigorous blood and energy, and even possessed the strength of Peak Great Knight.

The White Wolf Race is generally weak, and the females are especially frail. It is truly rare for this White Wolf Girl to possess such strength.

"Hey, sir, you've taken a fancy to this little wolf girl? If you want her, I'll give her to you for three hundred Great Stone," Sada laughed.

Levi nodded.

Sada happily accepted the money and led the White Wolf Girl out.

The White Wolf Girl stood silently behind Levi without saying a word.

These Fur Race slaves were completely tamed and forced to sign unequal contracts, becoming Levi's domestic slaves.

So there's no need to worry about the owner being attacked.

"Let's go, boss. If you come across any good stuff in the future, I mean the kind that's pretty good, remember to save some for me. I'm from the Potion Master's Tower." Levi waved and left the slave Black Market.

"Alright, Lord Levi," Sada quickly agreed.

Honestly, if it weren't for Levi, these average-strength and ugly Fur Race would probably still be sitting around in the Black Market, and keeping them there would just be a waste of money.

Now that he has secured a major client like Levi, he is naturally delighted.

Back home, Levi sat on the floor. In front of him, the four Fur Race stood silently and upright, awaiting Levi's judgment.

"Do you have names?" Levi asked.

The burly man from the Tiger-Skin Race said, "Master, my name is Taijia."

Levi looked at the Lion-Fur Race and the Black Panther Race in the middle, but both of them shook their heads.

"I have no name."

"Master...I don't have a name either."

"Master, my name is Aljeta!" the last White Wolf Girl said, raising her hand.

Feeling Levi's gaze, the White Wolf Girl lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Levi.

"Then you'll be called Xinba, and you'll be called Wada," Levi casually gave these two poor souls who didn't even have names.

"Yes, it's all up to you, Master," Xinba and Wada said.

Finally, Levi turned his gaze to Aljeta.

"How come you're so much stronger than the average White Wolf Race?" Levi asked.

"Master, I...I don't know either. I've been strong since I was a child," Aljeta said, bowing her head.

"Don't be too reserved. I am a gentle pharmacist, not a bad person, and I won't do anything to you."

"I just want to find some people to do things for me. As long as you're obedient, follow orders, and don't cause trouble, you'll definitely have a much more comfortable life here than on the Black Market," Levi said.

The four Fur Race nodded vigorously.

"There's nothing much to do today, so you can familiarize yourselves with the Wizard Tower. I'll stay on the third floor, Aljeta on the second floor, and the three of you gentlemen on the first floor."

After settling them in, Levi drew some blood from them and returned to his bedroom.

Then, he took out the Rowling Crystal, wanting to examine the bloodline composition of these Fur Race.

First is Taijia's.

[Unknown beast bloodline 27%, unknown humanoid bloodline 70%, human bloodline 56%...]

"As expected, the closest bloodline of this Fur Race is still that of humans or humanoids."

Judging from the appearance of Rowling Crystal, even Lady Rowling seems to have very little research on the Fur Race, and their bloodline is "unknown".

Perhaps such a race is not of much research value to wizards.

Because the Fur Race was simply too weak.

Aside from being naturally strong and skilled in physical combat, they are of little use.

Physical skills have a very low ceiling and cannot be compared to magic skills at all.

The bloodlines of Xinba and Wada are similar to those of Taijia.

They are all of unknown beast bloodlines.

Finally, there is the same for Aljeta's bloodline.

However, Aljeta is somewhat different in that she possesses a bloodline that Levi is very familiar with.

[Silver Frost Wolf bloodline 10%...]

"Silver Frost Wolf, isn't this the Primal Ancestor of the Frost Wolf Breathing Technique?"

Levi said to himself.

He seemed to have figured out why Aljeta was stronger than the other White Wolf Race individuals.

"The Frost Wolf Breathing Technique is only of rudimentary quality, or even third-rate quality, so the Silver Frost Wolf itself must be of a very low level."

Even if the Silver Frost Wolf himself came.

Levi estimated that the actual level was only at the level of a mid-level extraordinary being.

Therefore, even though Aljeta's Silver Frost Wolf bloodline concentration seems to have reached 10%, it is still only at the level of Peak Great Knight.

Compare the blood vessels in Levi's body.

His Golden Serpent Bloodline concentration is also 10%, but he is already Blood Origin Knight several levels higher than Peak Great Knight.

This is the difference in the fundamental level of Breathing Technique.

This also means that if Levi had insisted on practicing the Frost Wolf Breathing Technique back then...

Without altering the original method, simply integrate other Breathing Technique to break through limitations.

The Frost Wolf Breathing Technique, when cultivated to its ultimate level, reaches the level of a mid-level extraordinary being.

Since you're going to follow the path of bloodline, and even the path of the Silver Frost Wolf's bloodline reversion, then...

Then you will never be able to surpass the Primal Ancestor at the end of this road.

This is the limitation of bloodline! After breaking through its limits time and time again, the Black Snake Breathing Technique merged with and mutated the Golden Horn Breathing Technique. The newly born Golden Serpent Breathing Technique has long since transcended the limitations of the Primal Ancestor.

If Levi cultivates the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique to its ultimate level and reaches the level of the Primal Golden Serpent, then he will definitely be at a much higher level than the original Black Snake, and also higher than the Golden Horned Beast.

That's why he has to keep mutating. Only through mutation can he break out of the framework set by the Primal Ancestor and break through the bloodline ceiling that confines him!

Levi will definitely not follow the old path of the Primal Ancestor; Levi will surpass them!

Create your own path to ultimate biological evolution!

The next day.

Levi awoke from his meditation and heard footsteps below.

Aljeta was seen tidying up some odds and ends inside the Wizard Tower.

"Aljeta, what are you doing?" Levi asked.

"Master, I'm tidying up the house. Isn't this my job?" Aljeta asked.

"There's no need. The Wizard Tower has a magic array that can automatically reorganize itself every now and then," Levi said, both amused and exasperated.

"What can I do?" Aljeta felt uneasy if she didn't do something.

She worried that she was useless to Levi and that Levi would send her back to the dark and hopeless Black Market of slaves, where she would be harassed by lewd people every day.

Aljeta rarely encountered a master like Levi who was uninterested in her.

She knew she could never escape the fate of being a slave, so she wanted to live as well as possible.

"I don't need you to do these things. If you want to do something, I have two sword techniques here. I've heard that the Fur Race is good at physical combat. Why don't you give them a try?" Levi took out the Ash Annihilation Cross Slash and Golden Cross Slash sword techniques and handed them to Aljeta.

"Huh? Master, I can learn swordsmanship too?" Aljeta blinked, her wolf ears standing up and her fluffy tail swaying, looking somewhat incredulous.

"How will you protect me if I don't learn swordsmanship?" Levi laughed.

"I... my previous master wouldn't let me touch weapons," Aljeta said.

After taking the longsword from Levi, she skillfully twirled it and practiced a few impressive sword moves on the spot.

"It seems you have some basic skills," Levi said.

"Yes, I've seen others practice it..." Aljeta said.

Levi's eyes lit up; it seemed the Fur Race's talent was indeed remarkable.

Every Fur Race is, in theory, a prodigy in the path of Knight.

Unfortunately, the Fur Race did not possess the Knight's Breathing Technique.

Apart from a few individuals like Aljeta, none of them possess those bloodlines.

But bloodline isn't an issue; Levi plans to go home again in a while.

Go to the Green Forest Witch and buy some complete School of Life heritage.

He wants to study bloodline transplantation technology, a technology that is already quite mature in the School of Life.

Those bloodline modification wizards had to possess the bloodline of the organ transplant recipients in their bodies before they could modify their own bloodline, so that the organs and bodies would not conflict.

Therefore, for bloodline modification wizards, the ability to fuse more bloodlines without conflict is their talent, while elemental affinity is not the decisive factor.

The Boiling Beast Blood Hundred Beast Mad Wizard is a rare genius in the bloodline modification system. He has fused the bloodlines of hundreds of extraordinary creatures into his body, transforming himself into a "hundred-like" creature, and is still alive and well.

Next, Levi personally taught Aljeta some swordsmanship.

With Levi's personal instruction, Aljeta indeed picked it up very quickly.

In just half a day, he mastered the Ripple Power! "I've struck gold!"

Levi was overjoyed.

"By the way, have you ever heard of the Silver Frost Wolf?"

Levi asked, and even took out the Frost Wolf Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram.

Aljeta was also taken aback when she saw the majestic Silver Giant Wolf exuding a powerful aura on the inheritance diagram.

Then she simply collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"By the White Wolf God!"

Levi gazed at the White Wolf Girl, lost in thought, before asking, "Is this your White Wolf God?"

"Yes, Master, how do you possess our White Wolf God's [Divine Appearance Diagram]? This is a sacred object that exists only in our legends."

According to legend, if the Divine Appearance Diagram were to reappear in the world, the long-lost White Wolf God would return and lead the White Wolf Clan out of their suffering!

"Aljeta asked, her face flushed with excitement."

Levi waved his hand, letting Aljeta go practice her swordsmanship on her own, while he stood there, lost in thought.

"Interesting. The totem god of other plane tribes has actually become the ancestral Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram of a Baron family in the Mortal World."

Whether it's called the Inheritance Chart or the Divine Appearance Diagram, it doesn't matter.

Importantly, it now appears that the totem of the Fur Race and the symbol of the Frost Wolf Family are the same thing.

Levi felt that he was beginning to uncover a small part of the truth about the Knight's origins.

Since the Frost Wolf Family can practice the Frost Wolf Breathing Technique, it means that they must have the bloodline of the Silver Frost Wolf, which is the bloodline of the White Wolf God.

Although these bloodlines have become extremely thin over the long years, as long as they are not zero, one can still practice Breathing Technique; the only difference is the speed of practice.

Previously, Levi thought that Knight were the product of wizard bloodline experiments, but after arriving in the Wizard World, he discovered that although wizards had mastered bloodline transplantation technology, they had also created bloodline-modified wizards.

However, it is still somewhat different from the Knight's bloodline path.

The earliest Knight appeared long ago; at the very beginning of the Wizard Civilization, some Knight were already roaming the Mortal World.

Currently, there are two Levi regarding the birth of the Knight.

One possibility is that the Knight were creations of the Seven Gods. This can be seen from the various creation legends left by the Seven Gods. For example, in "The Seven Heavenly Knights," the Knight were created from the Saint's Remains.

These legends are a mix of truth and falsehood, and should not be taken entirely at face value, but they can still serve as a reference.

It is possible that the gods sought out powerful beings from multiple dimensions, passed on their bloodlines to the ancient ancestors of humankind, and thus the earliest Knight were born to govern the Mortal World and maintain the order of the Church's rule.

The second possibility is that it happened a very, very long time ago, in an era before even the Wizard Civilization had been born.

An unprecedented Plane Convergence occurred in many planes of this universe, with countless planes overlapping. As a result, many powerful beings from various planes left their bloodline inheritance in the human body to varying degrees during this period, for various reasons.

Some of the wisest among humans have continuously explored and developed this bloodline through their own efforts, creating the so-called Knight's Breathing Technique. They learn the Breathing Technique by relying on the Bloodline Studies, and then use the Breathing Technique to purify the bloodline, forming a virtuous cycle.

Of course, these are all just Levi's guesses. To find out the Knight's true origins, he still needs to explore and search step by step.

He regained his composure and immediately called his other Three Brothers over.

"Here are two human sword techniques, one is the Golden Cross Slash, and the other is the Ash Annihilation Cross Slash. Take them and practice them. If you can master them both within half a month, I will give you a reward," Levi said.

"Thank you, Master!"

Levi prepared four Mithril longswords for each of the four Fur Race, which was enough for them.

He then assigned them odd jobs at the Wizard Tower, and after finishing their work, they would practice swordsmanship, while Levi devoted himself entirely to Potion Making and cultivating.

The Three Brothers, Lion, Tiger, and Leopard, gradually mastered both sword techniques over the next week.

This was a huge blow to Levi.

He considered himself a swordsmanship genius, having taken three days to master the Golden Cross Slash.

These Three Brothers seemingly ordinary Fur Race were able to master two Legendary Realm- quality sword techniques within a week.

Unfortunately, in this day and age, physical combat is declining while magic is flourishing. Neither Knight nor Fur Race have the chance to take center stage.

After that, Levi stopped paying attention to them.

He's getting closer and closer to 100,000 merit points, so he needs to work hard to get them.

Then go and buy the Green Field Fairy House, to avoid any unforeseen complications.

After buying the Green Field Fairy House, Levi planned to go home again. He wanted to bring those extraordinary creatures to Torrent City so they could look after each other, and it would also be more convenient for Levi to practice the Knight's Breathing Technique in the future.

Most importantly, he's run out of his Secret Medicine again, and the Knight's Breathing Technique has been interrupted once more. He can't keep taking leave to go back to Ninth District; not only would that waste his time, but it would also displease Ha Fuman.

So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, after returning to Ninth District this time, he won't be going back there for a long time.

And next to Levi's residence is number 81.

After returning from his demon hunt Thousand-Faced Knight is lost in thought.

Damn it!

If he doesn't kill Levi soon, he'll be promoted to captain of the Demon Hunting Army!

Although this seems pretty good, the Thousand-Faced Knight even managed to exchange the merits he earned during this period for a precious Third Ring spell.

But the biggest problem is that I'm an assassin!

Having been an assassin his entire life, it would be very difficult for him to give up this profession all at once.

Dark Elf are born to hunt in the shadows.

Now, the Thousand-Faced Knight has a feeling that Levi has discovered something.

So he really couldn't wait any longer.

Meanwhile, Rex in the Upper City District was constantly urging him to hurry up and get started.

After Rex, if the Thousand-Faced Knight didn't make a move soon, Ha Fuman would be rolling in money.

If Levi lives for another year, then Ha Fuman will gain an extra year.

The Thousand-Faced Knight planned to ask Levi one last time after some time. If Levi still refused to go out to hunt demons with him, then he would have no choice but to activate the more risky second plan.

That means he would take action directly within the city. As long as Levi left the range of those powerful figures in the Potion Master's Tower, he would not hesitate to kill him.

After succeeding, they immediately fled.

This approach carries certain risks, and the Thousand-Faced Knight wasn't initially keen on it. He preferred meticulously planned, foolproof hunts.

after a while.

The year 1046 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Origin.

On this day, Levi Wei returned to his residence from Ha Fuman's place with a smug look on his face. His merit points had already exceeded 100,000.

"You can redeem the Green Field Fairy House now."

Levi was preparing to get up and head to the Merit Tower.

The Wizard Will knocked on the door, and Aljeta went to open it.

Will gazed at the White Wolf Girl who had appeared before him.

I never expected Levi to have such a quirk.

"Lord Levi, as far as I know, that Horned Devil was injured by a demon hunter some time ago. This is the perfect opportunity for the two of us to join forces and eliminate the demon," said Wizard Will.

"Excellent, Mr. Will, we'll set off tomorrow." This time, Levi didn't refuse but agreed.

Levi's mental strength is now 60 points, and his Art Power has reached 1800 points.

He's only 10 points of mental strength away from becoming a senior wizard in the Second Ring.

The Five Fireball Technique has been maxed out to the Seventh Rank, and the Adamantine Rock Body and Earth Spirit Shield are also at their limits.

His strength is unprecedented, and with his current power as a thirteenth-tier Golden Snake and Blood Origin Knight at the first stage of transformation, he should be able to deal with this enemy who has been plotting to harm him.

Being constantly on people's minds made Levi uneasy.

Since that's the case, let's take this opportunity to resolve this hidden danger and test the strength of the Blood Origin Knight.

The Thousand-Faced Knight had originally planned to forcibly eliminate Levi within the city, was secretly delighted.

"Little brat, when it comes to patience, you're no match for me. This Torrent City is nice, but it's too restrictive and not suitable for me. Once I've done this job, I can leave."

Wizard Will left.

Levi smiled as he watched his retreating figure.

His heart was filled with murderous intent.

Levi immediately set off for the Merit Tower.

It's in the redemption list.

The Green Field Fairy House is still there.

This magical artifact can only be used to store things; it does not directly enhance one's strength.

Aside from Levi, no one else would spend so many merit points to buy this.

Those ordinary Second-Ring Wizard, or even Third-Ring Wizard, would have no idea how long it would take to accumulate 100,000 merit points.

For other wizards, purchasing spells or cultivation resources is the most important thing.

Watching all the merit points I had painstakingly accumulated over the years vanish in an instant.

Levi didn't feel heartbroken; instead, he felt a sense of accomplishment from buying a house outright.

"People from China are born to struggle for a house."

With a sigh, Levi took the Green Field Fairy House and returned with the Wizard Tower.

The Green Field Fairy House is a green Storage Bag -type spatial item.

Levi chanted incantations, and the opening in the Insect House grew larger and larger, like a spatial rift.

Through the crack, Levi could see the space inside.

It's pretty much as described.

"It's good that there's no shared area. They said it would be exactly how many square meters it is, and they're honest with everyone."

The Green Field Fairy House wasn't very big.

A grove of trees, a small lake, a meadow.

To some extent, medicinal herbs can be grown here, but the elemental energy here is too thin to grow properly.

Levi randomly picked an animal and threw it in.

The animal was jumping around inside.

After confirming that there were no problems.

Levi called Skein and the others out of the cramped Insect House.

"Come on, we've moved to a new home," Levi said.

The Holy Armor Scorpion and the Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider have also moved into their new homes. The Holy Armor Scorpion has settled in the forest, while the Water-loving Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider has settled by the lake.

"You all stay home and cultivate diligently. I'll be gone for a while, but I'll be back soon. Taijia, take good care of the house," Levi instructed.

"Yes, Master!" As the strongest among them, Taijia naturally has the highest prestige, and Levi is quite at ease with his steady and reliable work.

Thus, Levi and Ha Fuman took another month off.

Then he went out to hunt demons with Wizard Will.

Having dealt with Will, he planned to make a trip back to Ninth District.

The outer perimeter of the Hundred Eye Demon Domain.

The demonic energy in this area is now thinner than before.

The Hundred Eye Demon Lord fled into the Abyssal Well, Abyssal Well was then guarded by the Great Wizard.

It is said that a Legendary Wizard is preparing the necessary spell, which, once complete, will be powerful enough to destroy the Abyssal Well.

After disembarking from the magic airship, Levi was on guard. He sensed the growing hostility from Wizard Will and sneered inwardly.

Wizard Will enthusiastically explained to Levi the precautions for hunting Horned Devil.

It looks like there really is an injured Horned Devil.

After the two left the stronghold, Wizard Will stopped in a deserted spot in the center of the outer perimeter of the Hundred Eye Demon Domain.

"What's wrong? Is the Horned Devil here?" Levi asked knowingly.

Wizard Will shook his head and said with a smile, "It was indeed here... but I've already killed it."

A jet-black horn appeared in his hand at some unknown time, emanating wisps of demonic energy.

Judging from the remaining aura of this horn, this Horned Devil was indeed a level three demon comparable to Third-Ring Wizard in life.

A level 3 Horned Devil's horn is extremely rare.

After the demonic energy is purified, it can be used to refine potions of Third Ring or higher.

This horn itself can also be used to make Third Ring witchcraft.

In short, its applications are endless.

Although there are many Magic Creature in the Hundred Eye Demon Domain, there are not many true Abyss demons.

Otherwise, the Eye of the Eye Demon and the Horn of the Horned Devil wouldn't be so precious.

Levi's expression changed, and he exclaimed, "What do you mean, Lord Will? Didn't we agree to hunt together? Now that you've already killed him, why are you toying with me and calling me out here?"

Levi is still acting.

The next moment, he sensed danger coming from his Spider Sense.

A black shadow appeared in the shadow behind Levi. This shadow held a short dagger, Breaking Void and stabbed towards Levi's back.

"Die!"

The Thousand-Faced Knight sneered.

He had long ago hidden his Second-Ring Spell, Shadow Clone, within Levi's shadow.

This is the most difficult Second Ring -level Second-Ring Spell in the Shadow School. Once mastered, it grants the user a powerful Shadow Clone.

The Shadow Clone can hide silently in the enemy's shadow and then appear to launch an attack! Levi was completely unaware that his shadow had been attacked by the Shadow Clone.

The spells of the Shadow School are cunning, unpredictable, and impossible to defend against.

Furthermore, the Thousand-Faced Knight is a descendant of Dark Elf, and his understanding of shadow magic is different from that of ordinary people.

Therefore, this magic was incredibly powerful in his hands.

Under the Third Ring, they were ambushed!

Even if they don't die, they'll be severely injured!

A snap.

Accompanied by the sound of something breaking.

The Thousand-Faced Knight suddenly looked over.

Levi over there is safe and sound.

The Shadow Clone's dagger pierced Levi's back, as if it had pierced the pure Sun Gold armor that had been forged through countless trials.

This indestructible dagger pierced through Levi's Second Ring defensive force field, the Earth Spirit Shield, and its residual force didn't even break a single scale on Levi.

Moreover, the dagger was shattered by some kind of recoil force.

Levi's large, golden hand grasped the arm of the Shadow Clone.

It was completely pulled out of the shadows behind it.

Then, the terrifying Red Lotus Karma Fire burned the Shadow Clone into nothingness.

Meanwhile, seeing his Shadow Clone fail, the Thousand-Faced Knight asked in surprise, "You're not Second-Ring Wizard?"

His response was Levi's furious Five Fireball Technique!

With the added benefits of Earth-Fire Dominator and Fire Element Affinity.

Five fireballs swept across the area, their power terrifying!

Boom! Flames shot into the sky.

The Third Ring Protective Force Field around the Thousand-Faced Knight flickered, blocking the attack.

"Interesting. It seems you discovered my identity a long time ago, hence your precautions. Lord Levi Wei, you've hidden yourself quite well..."

The Thousand-Faced Knight was not too flustered. Although his first attack missed, the situation was still under his control.

With his Third Ring defensive force field and innate magic, he was inherently invincible.

Levi's seemingly terrifying Second-Ring Spell couldn't even shatter his defensive force field.

This is the difference between a mid-level wizard and a low-level wizard, as vast as the difference between an adult and a child.

Although Levi is somewhat special, he can resist the attacks of his Second Ring Shadow Clone.

However, it is obviously impossible to fight against a Third-Ring Wizard.

So, the current situation is simply a matter of spending more time hunting down Levi.

Innate Spell: Black Shadow Burst Blade!

The Thousand-Faced Knight change anything in an instant.

One after another, black blades shot out.

In an instant, countless sharp blades whistled through the air, crashing down like raindrops pattering on banana leaves.

The Thousand-Faced Knight used his speed advantage to continuously attack Levi with his innate magic.

Levi activated his full defensive field, his Ash Entanglement and Golden Scales Possession!

He was like a golden God of War.

Some of these black blades were blocked by the scales, while others pierced into Levi 'Levi body, tearing deep, bloody holes in his flesh.

However, in an instant, the flesh and blood revived, and the blood holes were restored to their original state.

"Such a powerful physique! This is no ordinary Legendary Knight! Is he a bloodline-modified wizard who has undergone body tempering? But that doesn't seem like it either..."

This was the first time the Thousand-Faced Knight had encountered an enemy like Levi.

Levi was surrounded by Mahakala's Curtain, which blocked the remaining attacks from the black blades.

This also gives me some breathing room.

The Third Ring talent spell is still too powerful.

The black blades seemed endless, and with Levi's current thirteenth-tier Golden Serpent Scales, he couldn't defend against them all.

So he had many bloody holes in his body, but fortunately he had the Death Ash Breathing Technique, and his physique was very strong, so he recovered instantly. If it were any other Second-Ring Wizard, he would have been dead long ago.

"Very good, I'm becoming more and more interested in you. It seems you've broken through the Legendary Realm barrier. If you can teach me how to break through the Legendary Realm barrier, I can give you a quick death. Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Nameless, but my title in the Mortal World is... the Thousand-Faced Knight!"

The Thousand-Faced Knight calmly stated that he was not using his full strength at the moment.

Levi remained silent, waiting for the Thousand-Faced Knight's innate magical attack to pass before unleashing the Mahakala's Curtain, which lashed out at the Thousand-Faced Knight like a whip.

The Thousand-Faced Knight dodged away, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty as he looked at Levi before him.

This guy is no Second-Ring Wizard; he's got one trump card after another.

"It's all Rex's fault for the wrong intelligence!" the Thousand-Faced Knight cursed inwardly. "This time, killing Levi will definitely cost me more money when we get back!"

After dodging the attack from the Mahakala's Curtain, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Third Ring Spell: Shadow Walk.

At this moment, the Thousand-Faced Knight had already vanished into the shadows and disappeared from Levi's sight.

Levi remained calm and ceased his attack.

And thus enter Synesthesia.

He even closed his eyes.

Even if you disappear into the shadows, you can't completely vanish!

With such powerful senses, one would surely perceive something!

Whoosh! A sharp blade formed from shadow magic appeared in the void to Levi's right.

Levi had foreseen this and had already dodged it.

The voice of the Thousand-Faced Knight echoed from the void.

"Good perception."

The Thousand-Faced Knight vanished into the shadows once more.

When it reappears.

It was on top of Levi's head.

At the same time, Levi tore apart the Frost Finger Scroll without hesitation.

As the Shadow Blade appeared, a lightning-fast icy attack pierced the shadows above.

"Hiss!"

The Thousand-Faced Knight couldn't help but roar in pain.

He hadn't expected that Levi would actually have a Third Ring spell scroll.

A terrifying Frost Finger strike jolted him out of his Shadow Walk state.

His figure appeared, and there was a huge, bloody hole in his chest, surrounded by frost.

The frost prevented the healing potion that the Thousand-Faced Knight had just taken from taking effect.

The Frost Finger was immediately effective.

This Third Ring spell is not only powerful, but it can also freeze wounds, preventing those with strong constitutions from healing themselves. It has a similar effect to Levi's Death Ash Breathing Technique.

At this moment, the Thousand-Faced Knight was pale.

He calmed down and realized that Levi could no longer have a Third Ring spell scroll.

If he had so many spell scrolls, he could just tear them all up and blast himself to smithereens. Why risk his life to fight him? This also means that Levi's next attack will likely have a hard time breaking through his Third Ring defensive field.

"Die!"

The Thousand-Faced Knight attacks.

Levi knew that now was the best time to kick a man when he was down.

Tyrant, Skein, the Living Dead —regardless of their strength, they all appeared!

Surrounding the Thousand-Faced Knight is enough; although they are weak, they can still cause some trouble for the enemy.

Levi's Blood Beast Burst, his speed skyrocketed, Blood Wing appeared, and he unleashed Ash Annihilation Cross Slash that swept out in a storm of sword energy!

Behind the Thousand-Faced Knight, Black Qi swirled, and an Evil Spirit coiled around him—it was a giant snake with three heads.

The three-headed giant serpent stared menacingly at Levi. Its body was as long as Yolman's, and when it coiled up, it actually blocked the storm of sword energy.

"Blood Fear Demon God - Three-Headed Demon Serpent!"

The Demon Snake danced wildly, and the Thousand-Faced Knight activated his Protective Force Field, riding the Demon Snake as he arrived.

"You're strong, but it ends here. Let me show you my rarely used ultimate move!"

A terrifying Demon Snake attacked, carrying with it various magical attacks from the Thousand-Faced Knight.

Blood Dread Demon God! This is a method of achieving unity of spirit and body created by a fallen genius of the Dark Elf Clan.

Unleash the power of your bloodline, guided by your spiritual power, and condense a Bloodline Demon God! The Thousand-Faced Knight has practiced this method since childhood, and he even castrated the method and named it "Black Demon Blade".

It was passed on to some of the Voice of the Deathbird, and they also used it to make a deal with the Black Knight.

Ultimately, through the Pale Shadow, Levi obtained this emasculated version of the method.

Unbeknownst to the Thousand-Faced Knight, Levi, through the Proficiency Panel, had unknowingly cultivated this abridged version of the technique to a level even the Thousand-Faced Knight hadn't reached. The so-called Black Qi was actually the rudimentary form of bloodline power.

"What a coincidence, I know that technique too." Levi chuckled as he watched the Thousand-Faced Knight charging towards him.

He took a deep breath, and a surge of blood power welled up from his back.

Bloodline Avatar - Nine Swords Asura!

Boom! Golden light shot straight into the sky, and red silk fluttered in the wind! With three heads and six arms, wielding nine swords, the Bloodline Avatar finally descended!

At this moment, he saw Levi, Blood Dread Demon God who was even purer and more powerful than himself.

The Thousand-Faced Knight is the one who's truly panicked.

"How is that possible? The version I sent out was just a watered-down version of the Black Demon Blade?"

Aside from that fallen genius of the Dark Elf Clan, how could anyone possibly deduce this complex secret technique of the unity of spirit and body on their own! Whale Devour and Drink Sea, Giant Whale Descends! Karma Fire Red Lotus erupt, Dragon Body Manifestation! Strength Rune flicker on the surface of the monster Levi's body, Nine Swords Asura behind Levi unleash the most powerful Golden Nine Swords!

Nine Swords + Giant Whale + Red Lotus + Strength Rune!

The terrifying three-headed Demon Snake was twisted, drawn into a vortex, and torn apart.

Next up was the Thousand-Faced Knight's Third Ring defensive force field.

Click, click.

The defensive force field held for a while before twisting and deforming.

The ferocious attacks continued to tear apart the Thousand-Faced Knight's other protective spells.

Despite enduring the magical attacks, his Golden Scales shattered, his flesh mangled, and his body broken, Levi embraced the Thousand-Faced Knight.

The golden unicorn was aimed at the opponent's head, which was once again protected by the Third Ring force field.

Annihilation Ray!

A golden flash streaked across the sky.

Levi held the headless body of the Thousand-Faced Knight in his arms.

My feelings are complicated.

This was the first Legendary Knight he had killed.

Hopefully, this will be the last one.
