Three Years in Hiding, Breathing Techniques Advance as a Group, the Eve of the Storm!

)) The Month of Harvest in the year 1052 of the Holy Radiance Calendar.

For Levi, this month has indeed been a fruitful one.

He took stock of what he had gained from Rex.

Leaving aside other materials and medicines.

Levi received a full 400,000 from Rex alone regarding Great Stone...

Levi possesses cheat codes and has committed numerous murders and robberies, along with various part-time jobs. To date, he has only managed to save 100,000 Great Stone.

And this Rex, aside from the Great Stone he handed over to his family, actually had 400,000 in his own pocket.

Compared to the Thousand-Faced Knight, who is also Third-Ring Wizard, Rex's assets are ten times greater.

"However, at the same level, the gap between rich and poor in the Wizard World is nothing compared to my previous life."

Levi suddenly thought of those wealthy people from his previous life.

We are all ordinary people. Some people are richer than a country, while others worry about making a living.

"Now that you mention it, the Wizard World is really great," Levi couldn't help but sigh.

At least, even Rex, a Third-Ring Wizard, didn't possess enough assets to drive Levi to despair.

"Including what I've saved up before, my personal assets are 500,000 Great Stone. Among Second-Ring Wizard, I should be considered damn rich. I estimate that most Third-Ring Wizard in Torrent City don't have as much cash as I do."

Levi secretly rejoiced.

Of course, besides these Great Stone, Rex's most valuable possessions are the prescriptions, materials, and medicines he has accumulated over the years as the head of the apothecary.

Rex has a special Storage Bag for storing gifts he receives.

"That bastard Rex won't accept gifts worth less than a thousand Great Stone, and these things are all worth over a thousand gold!"

Levi's eyes lit up as he looked at the list of gifts received.

"The Fourth Ring herb, Snake Lantern Grass, is worth one thousand Great Stone."

"Gemini Potion, Second Ring elixir, can be used to break through the Second Ring environmental boundary, worth 50,000 Great Stone."

"..."

There are many such gifts, dozens of kinds.

Only those items of higher value will be collected by Rex.

Levi estimated that, converted to gold, it would amount to 200,000 Great Stone.

In addition, there's the value of Rex's other materials.

This trip alone has netted me at least 800,000! If you add the Mountain Giant assassins, that's at least a million! "To be able to accumulate so much from a mere Third Ring, it's clear how much that old bastard Rex has made in Torrent City, and how much wealth he's amassed for the Thunder Dragon Family. It all comes from the sheep; ultimately, all this money comes from low-level wizards like me. These rich people deserve to die."

I, Levi, am determined to seek justice for the lower-class wizards, to rob the rich and help the poor—it starts with me!

Levi made a silent vow in his heart.

It's no surprise that Rex is Levi.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.

Ha Fuman only surpassed Rex in the last two years.

Previously, Rex had always been the boss.

Similarly, this also shows that Ha Fuman has some background and resources.

Otherwise, such a lucrative position as head of the apothecary would not have fallen into the hands of a halfling without a family.

"Ha Fuman may not be as wealthy as Rex, but he won't be too far behind."

Back then, it was only because Levi relentlessly grinded the game mechanics that Ha Fuman managed to defeat Rex.

Ha Fuman gave Levi two thousand merit points, and Levi was still very happy.

"I was too naive."

Levi calmed down.

Aside from the tangible assets mentioned above, the greatest wealth Rex gave to Levi was those formulas—precious potion knowledge, priceless treasures.

These formulas were accumulated by Rex over many years as the head of the pharmacy department.

There are dozens of Second Ring drug formulations and more than a dozen Third Ring drug formulations.

Among these, the most precious is a medicinal formula that can help to aggregate and compress spiritual energy, thereby materializing spiritual energy through vaporization.

The Dream of the Lady of the Lake.

Abbreviation: Lake Fairy Potion.

This potion is a formula that transcends the Third Ring environmental boundaries, and its value to apothecaries is immeasurable.

That's why Levi said that the greatest treasure Rex left him was those medicine formulas.

This meant that Levi basically didn't need to worry about the drug formula before reaching the Fourth Ring.

Whether it's breakthrough potions or Meditation Aid Potion, Rex has them all.

Moreover, theoretically, once Levi mastered these drug formulas, he could use the drugs to make money.

Because he did not sign a confidentiality agreement with Rex.

However, Levi felt that there was no rush to sell it for money.

Because many of Rex's drug formulas came from the military.

Now that these drug formulas have been lost, the military will certainly have to investigate and retrieve them.

If Levi were to sell this potion at this time, he would inevitably be suspected.

If you want to sell them, you have to do so outside of Torrent City.

"Next, we can start preparing the potion materials for the Dream of the Lake Fairy, to prepare for advancing to the Third Ring, and to plan ahead."

Levi estimated that in about ten years, he should be able to reach 100 points of mental strength.

At that point, you'll need to consider transforming your spiritual energy into physical energy and advancing to the Third Ring.

"Once you step into the Third Ring, you become a mid-level wizard. From then on, you are considered a mid-level wizard in the Endless Sea, no longer a low-level wizard."

There are no more than one hundred Third-Ring Wizard in Torrent City.

It's worth noting that there are nearly ten thousand Formal Wizard in Torrent City.

This means that only one in a hundred Formal Wizard might become a Third-Ring Wizard.

This is because Torrent City is an elite region, gathering excellent wizards from many parts of the Endless Sea.

In a place like the Ninth District, the Third Ring is practically the ancestor of a large area.

"Ten scales from the Lady of the Lake's chest, dust from the Evil Spirit Dream Fairy, and keratinous powder from a level three demon..."

Levi's eyes gradually lit up as he looked at the materials for the Third Ring potion formula.

Among the main medicines he saw, there were several that he already had.

"The Legendary Realm Evil Spirit Dream Fairy that I killed in the Royal Family treasury was actually the main ingredient in the recipe for the Third Ring potion. If I hadn't happened to keep it, where would I have found such an ingredient?" Levi thought with relief.

"The keratinous powder of a level three demon, the horn of Horned Devil is definitely fine."

For Levi, the only one among the main ingredients that he had no clue about was the "scales on the chest of the Lady of the Lake".

"The Lady of the Lake" was a monster he had heard of in folk tales.

Legend has it that the first Emerald King's sword was a gift from the "Lady of the Lake" who lived in Emerald Lake.

Later, Levi obtained the Frankenstein Wizard's Monster Manual.

He then learned that the so-called "Lady of the Lake" was actually a kind of "Naga" that lived in freshwater.

This type of Naga is generally called "Lake Naga".

Naga are a common type of humanoid creature, but most Naga have intelligence no different from that of wild beasts, such as the "Gray Naga" that Levi once hunted.

Most Naga live in the ocean, with only a few living in inland lakes.

"The Azure Realm is mostly ocean with only a few scattered islands. The lakes on these islands are unlikely to have any freshwater Naga. The most likely place to have freshwater Naga is actually the Yellow Earth Continent."

Levi put away the formula and closed his eyes in deep thought.

When he's about to advance to the Third Ring, he'll still have to make a trip to the Yellow Earth Continent.

On that vast land, there lived some rare and extraordinary creatures.

In the days that followed, Levi continued his normal Potion Making and spiritual practices while keeping a close eye on the developments caused by Rex's death.

Rex himself has been completely erased from this world by Levi, leaving no trace.

It wasn't until half a month after Rex's death that the officials of Torrent City belatedly discovered that their high-ranking official had disappeared.

The reason it was discovered was because after the Thunder Dragon Family's Fifth Ring expert, "Blade of Thunderous Destruction · Terell," emerged from seclusion, he discovered that Rex's Soul Stone within the clan had shattered.

Although this Fifth Ring powerhouse Rex more than one descendant, Rex was considered one of the more successful ones among them.

Therefore, he was furious about Rex's death and came to Torrent City in person, demanding that the military find out the truth and that the murderer of Rex be found.

Spear of Thunder, also from the Thunder Dragon Family, actually dislikes Rex, but is reluctant to do so because of his family's reputation.

He could only use his position Commander-in-Chief to advance the investigation.

In addition, Rex himself is a Third Ring apothecary and one of the five chiefs of the Potion Master's Tower.

Therefore, this matter undoubtedly attracted the attention of the Torrent City authorities.

The Tower of Order immediately established a special "Rex Disappearance Case Investigation Team" to thoroughly investigate the matter.

They investigated all the video tablets in Torrent City during the time Rex was missing.

It was eventually discovered that Rex had left the city with his servant Agan two weeks earlier.

He never came back after that.

Therefore, Rex most likely died outside the city.

During this period, in addition to Rex, a large number of witch hunters came and went.

This makes the range of suspected targets extremely large.

Considering that Rex is Third-Ring Wizard, has Second Ring butler from his family, and possesses several Rex -Third Ring magical artifacts.

Therefore, the military initially targeted witchers above the Third-Ring Wizard.

Of course, Third-Ring Wizard cannot be exempted from suspicion, but relatively speaking, the possibility of them successfully committing the crime is almost zero.

The difference between First Ring, Second-Ring Wizard, and Third-Ring Wizard is so great that these wizards are well aware of it; it's common knowledge.

Unless it's a powerful, one-time-use spell scroll, it's impossible to fight at a higher realm level...

Therefore, the authorities checked the spell scroll exchange records in the Merit Shop and found several Second Ring suspects.

At the same time, they began to investigate each of the witchers who entered and left Torrent City during that period.

"I didn't expect Rex's death to cause such a commotion. As expected of the Thunder Dragon Family, their lives are so valuable. The entire Tower of Order has to revolve around them," Levi sneered.

He wasn't very worried.

First of all, the soul imprint on Rex's body has been completely erased by the Holy Armor Scorpion, making it impossible for him to track Rex down using this simplest method.

Secondly, he had Hundred Faces, Thousand Forms when he left the city that night, and he used the Hermit Rune to conceal his aura and sneak out. The recording made it impossible to tell anything about him.

Finally, Levi was only a Second-Ring Wizard, and an apothecary who spent his days frantically grinding potions, so killing Rex was even more impossible for him.

Without evidence, these people cannot be traced back to themselves unless they illegally opened their own Storage Bag.

Seeing Levi's enormous wealth of unknown origin, they speculated that Levi had murdered him for money.

To avoid giving away any evidence, Rex kept the fact that he assassinated Levi a secret only from himself and his most trusted Agan.

Therefore, Rex and Levi are completely unrelated.

If they were investigating someone with a motive to kill Rex, they wouldn't have traced it back to Levi.

In short, Levi felt that the chances of them finding out about him were slim.

Most importantly, Torrent City has been in complete chaos during this time.

Levi estimated that it wouldn't be long before the surging undercurrents would emerge and a storm would break out.

At that time, Rex's death will become even more mysterious and no one will care.

In general, the only person who might care about this matter for a long time is Rex's father, who is from the Fifth Ring.

Regardless, killing Rex was a Levi had no other option but to make.

If he hadn't killed Rex, then Rex would have used those Third Ring assassins to try and get back at him.

Levi Wei is likely to be the one who dies.

It was Rex who forced him to take action! Judging from his Spider Sense's danger perception, Levi is currently in Torrent City, where he is safer than ever before.

Rex no longer cared about him; that hostility had dissipated.

Of course, he will not slack off because of this.

They just lived their lives in a routine manner.

Soon, after questioning all the suspicious individuals,

The investigation team investigating Rex's death was also at a loss.

In retrospect, the enemy who killed Rex is most likely no longer in Torrent City, but has probably escaped.

From a common-sense perspective, it's unlikely that someone would voluntarily return to Torrent City after committing a crime.

Moreover, based on the current clues, it is possible that Rex was hunted down by demons outside the city.

Everyone knows that the demons outside the city have been causing a lot of trouble lately. For an apothecary to sneak out like that would be suicide, wouldn't it? And on the vast ocean, they can't find Rex's body.

In the Wizard World, once someone is killed, there is basically no custom of leaving a body; instead, magic is used to completely destroy it and erase all traces.

later.

The Thunder Annihilation Blade used the magical artifact he gave Rex as a medium to locate Rex's Storage Bag.

That was in the distant Hundred Eye Demon Domain Realm.

All the magical artifacts in the Storage Bag were still there, except for the ordinary items that couldn't be marked, such as the Great Stone and some materials, which had disappeared.

This shows that the murderer was indeed after money, and it also shows that the murderer was extremely careful and did not leave any clues for the Thunder Dragon Family.

Torrent City.

Upper City District.

Thunder Tower.

Inside the luxurious mansion of Spear of Thunder.

The handsome middle-aged man looked at the old man in front of him.

The old man was none other than "Blade of Thunderous Destruction · Terell," the oldest member of the Thunder Dragon Family.

Terrell is now over 800 years old.

The lifespan of Fifth Ring wizard is only about a thousand years, so he will only live for about two hundred years.

Because of his talent, reaching the Fifth Ring is his limit; without an extraordinary opportunity, it's impossible for him to go any higher.

Primal Soul Wizard are extremely rare, and there are only so many in the Endless Sea.

Therefore, Terrell no longer expected to advance to the Sixth Ring. He only hoped that his good-for-nothing youngest son, Rex, could grow up as soon as possible, take over his position in the Thunder Dragon Family, and continue his bloodline.

As people get older, they become more accepting of things.

But now, Rex has suddenly died, and even the soul imprint has not taken effect.

This was the first time Terrell had ever seen such a situation.

The two Fifth Ring individuals remained silent, creating an awkward atmosphere.

"For your sake, I can continue to keep an eye on this matter for you. I also have my own things to do. You should know that Rex's current predicament is largely his own fault, and he has no one else to blame but himself," Spear of Thunder said coldly.

"Solett, don't forget that although you are a genius that the family has only seen once in a thousand years, your current achievements are inseparable from the family's support. How can you say such heartless words?" Thunder Annihilation Blade said with dissatisfaction.

"I have done more than enough for him. You are an elder of the family, and I respect you. But don't try to provoke me with your useless rhetoric," Solett said with a cold laugh, his tone arrogant.

Although he is the youngest member of the Fifth Ring in the family, he is the second Fifth Ring.

Second only to the patriarch of the Thunder Dragon Family, a seasoned expert of the Fifth Ring.

As the most promising genius in the Thunder Dragon Family for a thousand years to advance to the Primal Soul Wizard level.

Solett's position is beyond question.

"You..."

The Blade of Thunder Annihilation was speechless with rage.

Then he sighed.

"No matter what Rex is like, he's still my flesh and blood. You helped me find the real culprit, so I owe you a favor. The family head election is in a hundred years, you know what I mean," said Thunder Annihilation Blade.

"I understand. Didn't you send a suicide soldier to Rex? Can't we use the suicide soldier's location to find Rex?" Spear of Thunder asked.

"The marks within the assassins have also been erased. Only members of our family know this method of erasing marks... I don't understand what's wrong with Rex, doing something so contrary to the family." Thunder Annihilation Blade said with a bitter smile.

Then he left Torrent City.

As Fifth Ring expert of the Thunder Dragon Family, he couldn't stay here for too long.

On the one hand, he needs to stay and oversee the family; on the other hand, if he stays here too long, the couple at the Torrent High Tower will definitely be unhappy.

After all, the couple had long been critical of the Thunder Dragon Family's excessive interference in the affairs of Torrent City.

If it weren't for the Thunder Dragon Family's connections at the Tower of Stars headquarters, Spear of Thunder might not even have become the Commander-in-Chief.

Watching Terrell leave, Spear of Thunder felt a pang of gloom.

"Waste."

"However, those who dared to kill our Thunder Dragon Family certainly deserve a good lesson. It just so happens that I can no longer be the Commander-in-Chief. Now, let the storm rage even more fiercely."

The year 1053 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowers.

Levi could clearly sense that the Torrent City seemed to be getting increasingly chaotic.

Rumors of demonic disturbances surface every now and then, but it's unclear whether they're true or false.

However, there is no safe place anywhere in the world anymore.

In comparison, Torrent City, guarded by High-Rank Wizard, remains Levi's preferred place to develop his skills.

During this time, he secretly went to the place where the Death Mountain Giant was located twice.

To their surprise, the Mountain Giant was still there.

If the Thunder Dragon Family had any tracking marks on the Mountain Giant, they should have discovered them long ago.

This essentially proves that the Thunder Dragon Family did not leave a mark on the Mountain Giant.

What Levi didn't know was that there was actually a mark, but Rex himself erased it.

Rex's reason for eliminating them was simple: he wanted to find an opportunity to take control of the family's assassins.

He sensed that his family members, including his father, were becoming increasingly disappointed in him.

To prevent himself from becoming an outcast of his family, he made this decision out of his inherently suspicious nature. He wanted to try to grow up independently of his family.

Although the Mountain Giant were still there, Levi still had no intention of taking them with him.

He only had some blood drawn before returning to Torrent City.

The earth elemental affinity of the Mountain Giant's blood is of great benefit to Levi Xiuwei's Adamantine Breathing Technique!

The Secret Medicine of the Adamantine Breathing Technique requires two types of blood: one of frost element from apes or giants, and one of earth element.

Rex directly solved the earth element problem for Levi.

The remaining frost is in the hands of the Aisidi Family.

At the same time, the Red Sand Ape also retired honorably.

This saved them from being exploited by Levi.

This little monkey dug a hole in the Green Field Fairy House and started living a peaceful, carefree retirement life, facing the sea and enjoying the warmth of spring.

With the blood of the Mountain Giant, the speed of practicing the Adamantine Breathing Technique increased dramatically.

Before long, he directly advanced to the twelfth rank.

After reaching the twelfth level, Levi's arm strength increased significantly, but for Levi, who already possessed the thirteenth level Red Lotus, this change was not very significant.

His current goal is to reach the Third-Ring Wizard level as soon as possible.

Secondly, we should catch up with other outdated Breathing Technique as soon as possible, and promote the integration and variation of Breathing Technique.

The existing Breathing Technique techniques are somewhat overly complicated.

Some of the Legendary Realm organs or special effects of Breathing Technique are actually rarely used.

Those are the ones we use most often.

Levi wanted to try to integrate the Breathing Technique system.

In theory, these are possible.

Because the Proficiency Panel is also constantly changing and being fine-tuned as Levi's strength improves.

Levi had already discovered these things.

Although the Proficiency Panel doesn't have a life of its own, Levi felt as if the panel was a part of his body, growing along with Levi.

Time passed day by day.

Sensing the gradually surging undercurrents of Torrent City, Levi no longer keeps any merit points on him.

He worried that Torrent City might disappear one day, and all the merit points he had accumulated would be wasted.

During this period, he spent his merit points, aside from exchanging for necessary resources, on exchanging for spells.

Through Levi's experiments, he combined three highly similar Zero-Circle Cantrip— [Ice Needle Technique], [Ice Thorn Technique], and [Small Ice Cone Technique]—into a First-Circle Spell— [Ice Finger Technique].

[Ice Finger Technique] possesses an A-level attack strength, making it a top- First Ring spell within the first tier of the Frost School.

Through Levi's comparative experiments, he discovered that among the First-Circle Spell repertoire of the Frost School that he currently possesses, the Spell Model structures of [Ice Cone Technique], [Ice Arrow Technique], and [Ice Finger Technique] are quite similar and can be fused using the Proficiency Panel.

So, he created those two spells.

Ultimately, through a nested fusion process, Levi synthesized a Second-Ring Spell that he created himself.

Levi ————

Extreme Ice Finger: Fifth Order (1/30000).

This Second-Ring Spell, created by Levi himself, has an attack strength that surpasses A-level and possesses S-level attack strength.

In the Wizard World, this S-rank spell is also known as a top-tier spell, referring to the most excellent spell within the same realm.

This kind of magic is extremely rare.

If a top-tier spell is cultivated to perfection, its power is not much weaker than that of the spell in the previous First Ring.

Furthermore, this is further enhanced by Levi's own [Aether Dominator] special effect.

The power of Levi's [Extreme Ice Finger] can be said to be comparable to that of an ordinary Third Ring spell.

This is a groundbreaking feat.

This means that Levi, with the body of Second-Ring Wizard, possesses magical attack power comparable to that of Third-Ring Wizard, even without mastering Third Ring spells.

"Original spells are generally of good quality, so I'll combine more top-tier spells to use in the future."

Levi was thrilled.

The biggest difficulty in synthesizing top-tier spells is that Levi must find spells with a high degree of similarity as raw materials.

Then, you have to learn a lot of low-level spells, which also takes up a lot of time.

However, considering the power of top-tier spells, Levi felt it was worth it.

Moreover, after the Second Ring, the price of spells rises sharply, making it too expensive to buy them yourself and not cost-effective. It's better for Levi to synthesize them himself. This is even more true after the Third Ring.

Including the Extreme Ice Finger, Levi now has mastered seven Second-Ring Spell.

His strength is growing day by day.

On this day, Levi was practicing meditation at home.

Someone has arrived at the door.

He opened his eyes.

"It's Ha Fuman."

Aljeta opened the door.

Ha Fuman arrived at the Wizard Tower, sat down by himself, and drank beer.

"Rex has been dead for so long, and the authorities are still investigating. The power of the Thunder Dragon Family is truly immense," Ha Fuman suddenly remarked.

Levi stepped out and laughed, "The Fifth Ring Family is terrifying indeed."

"Who do you think killed Rex?" Ha Fuman asked.

"I don't know. Rex is Third-Ring Wizard. There aren't many people in this Torrent City who can kill him, are there?" Levi said seriously as he sipped his tea.

"Anyway, it's a victory for the people, that's great, hehe." Ha Fuman grinned, his face full of wrinkles.

After Rex's death, the Potion Master's Tower did not recruit a new manager.

Instead, they distributed Rex's employees among the other three executives.

In this way, Ha Fuman effectively lost a strong competitor.

So even though Levi wasn't working as hard as before, it didn't stop Ha Fuman from continuing to hold the top management position.

Ha Fuman highly valued Levi, a contributor to the cause.

"Lord Ha Fuman, you wouldn't come here without a reason. Is there something you want to say?" Levi asked.

Ha Fuman smiled and said, "Levi, I have an opportunity for you, an opportunity to rise through the ranks in Torrent City."

Levi's heart stirred. "Please explain in detail, my lord."

"Blue Dragon Lady is recruiting advisors. You're quite a genius pharmacist, have you ever thought about joining? If you'd like, I can recommend you," Ha Fuman said.

"Blue Dragon Lady? Would this Fifth Ring powerhouse even look at me? I'm only Second Ring..." Levi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Blue Dragon Lady values potential more. You're only in your sixties, yet you're already Second-Ring Wizard and Second-Ring Potion Maker. A talent like you is top-tier even in Torrent City. Don't be modest, kid. We know each other well, there's no need for that," Ha Fuman said with a light laugh.

"Blue Dragon Lady probably wants to establish her own power to fight against Spear of Thunder..." Levi asked, his thoughts racing.

Ha Fuman nodded. "You're very smart, kid. That's right. A hundred years ago, Blue Dragon Lady prepared an organization called the Dragon Tea Party."

This organization includes dragonborn who live in seclusion in Torrent City, and all sorts of talented individuals. To be honest, I am also a member of the Dragon Tea Party.

When you first showed your talent, you were already noticed by Blue Dragon Lady, but at that time, she was also observing your performance.

Now it seems you're basically qualified to enter the Dragon Tea Party.

I'm not kidding you, the Dragon Tea Party is probably the second most powerful force in Torrent City, after Torrent High Tower.

Otherwise, why do you think Blue Dragon Lady was able to defeat Spear of Thunder and run for Commander-in-Chief?

The situation in Torrent City has changed drastically. As far as I know, the couple's hearts are no longer in Torrent City. They have found a better place to stay, and they no longer care about the power struggles that are happening now.

Despite his defeat in the election, Spear of Thunder remains cunning and will undoubtedly continue to try every means to seize power in Torrent City by relying on the influence of the Thunder Dragon Family.

People like you and me, who are just small fry, can't leave Torrent City for the time being because of military service. We definitely need something to rely on in order to survive in this messed-up era.

What do you think? I'll consider it.

By the way, at the Dragon Tea Party, members can receive a Third Ring magical artifact.

So far, apart from you, all the members of the tea party are wizards of the Third Ring or higher.

You're lucky to be so valued by Blue Dragon Lady. You should be secretly thrilled.

Ha Fuman had a smug look on his face.

Levi appeared cheerful on the surface, but inwardly he couldn't help but be cautious.

"I've been so low-key, but I still caught the eye of Blue Dragon Lady. My damn talent can't be hidden. If I reveal even a little bit, I'll attract attention."

Levi thought for a moment and said, "Sir, I need to think about this. I want to ask if there is any agreement to sign when joining the association? There is no such thing as a free lunch. I can get a Third Ring witch artifact, but what kind of obligations do I have to fulfill? To be honest, I am a coward who is afraid of death. I can be poor, but I don't want to risk my life for others."

"Of course, an agreement will be signed. The rights and obligations are clearly stated in the agreement. I can show it to you later, and you can decide for yourself. This is not mandatory, but the chances of getting in touch with Blue Dragon Lady are limited, so you should think carefully," Ha Fuman said.

"In that case, thank you very much, sir. Please allow me to consider it. I may not be able to make a decision in a short time. I hope Blue Dragon Lady will not mind," Levi said.

Ha Fuman nodded, handed Levi a stone tablet, and then turned and left.

"Blue Dragon Lady, she's plotting to seize Torrent City," Levi thought to himself.

He didn't want to get involved in the power struggles within Torrent City, so his first thought was to refuse.

Then he looked at the agreement and Levi thought that the terms were actually not bad.

The Dragon Tea Party is a mutual aid organization led by Blue Dragon Lady. The connections between members and the binding of individuals and the organization are not very tight.

The tea party is held once a month. Members exchange their spiritual experiences, information, and medicinal materials during the tea party.

A Tarot session similar to The Fool's Tarot.

You can choose to attend the monthly meetings or not, but you generally have to attend the annual meeting, except in special circumstances.

The tea party was to be held in one of Blue Dragon Lady's private little sanctuaries.

After reading the agreement, Levi was somewhat tempted; he needed more clues about extraordinary creatures and knowledge about wizards.

It's indeed very difficult for someone to reinvent the wheel, even with a Proficiency Panel; there are some objective problems that are impossible to solve.

However, he was still worried that he would get involved in power struggles and become someone else's pawn.

"Since there's no timeframe specified, I'll reply later," Levi thought to himself.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

The year 1054 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Budding.

The 18th year of the Great Expedition.

In the Myriad Machine Plane, the Deep Blue Sage has initially developed a method to counter the "Mechanical Virus," the Father of Plague, thus curbing the spread of the Mechanical Plague.

The Legendary Wizard's research and learning abilities are beyond question.

This greatly angered the Father of Plague.

The Mechanical Plague he painstakingly researched was cracked so quickly.

As the saying goes, "The devil is always one step ahead of the saint."

After a fierce battle with the Deep Blue Sage that ended in a draw.

The Father of Plague immediately began researching a new version of the Mechanical Plague, version 2.0.

Just like the battle between the human immune system and the virus, the two sides are outwitting and outmaneuvering each other in the Myriad Machine Plane.

In the Endless Sea.

After so many rounds of negotiation.

The big shot behind Black Sun Adam and the Hundred Beast Mad Wizard has yet to show himself.

Rumors of wizards obtaining the Miracle Fruit and possessing "miracle abilities" continue to circulate in the Endless Sea.

This type of wizard was called a "Miracle Warlock" by the older generation of wizards.

Miracle Warlock tend to fuse magic with bloodline, and their growth rate is higher than that of traditional wizards. However, the upper limit of Miracle Warlock's strength is firmly limited by the quality of the Miracle Fruit they consume.

In this respect, they are no different from extraordinary beings.

Not all wizards can consume the Miracle Fruit. Many wizards have died after consuming Miracle Fruit, their bodies filled with blood and exploding, their brains blown out.

However, people still flock to the Miracle Fruit.

So what if there are side effects to taking shortcuts? Meanwhile, people discovered that after Miracle Warlock dies, the Miracle Fruit will separate and recombine.

The power of miracles will not disappear.

This drove the wizards even crazier.

Since I can get the Miracle Fruit by killing you.

Then don't blame me for being impolite.

In today's chaotic era.

Bloody killings related to the Miracle Fruit are unfolding in various places.

Black Wizard Black Wizard and white wizards, their respective factions, family and friends, can all turn against each other because of the Miracle Fruit.

Torrent City.

No. 80, Midtown District.

Levi observes the news from the outside world through the wizard's chamber.

Heart Sense, "A chaotic world is also a world of great strife. The more chaotic it is, the more we must remain calm, seize every moment, and work hard to gain experience."

After a year of practice.

Levi's mental strength has reached 80 points, and his Art Power has reached the maximum of 2400 points.

Levi is already 64 years old.

In four years, his mental strength increased by a full 10 points.

For other average Second-Ring Wizard, this might take decades or even centuries to hone their skills.

There's no way around it; Levi's current cultivation conditions are just too favorable.

A full range of elemental affinity talents across all four disciplines, ample Meditation Aid Potion, and Proficiency Panel.

It would be strange if they weren't happy.

"The last 20 points will take at least seven or eight years. So, it's a bit of a stretch to reach the Third Ring before age 70. I can only say that I can reach the Third Ring before age 75."

Levi sighed.

"There's no other way. I've spent most of this time leveling up my Breathing Technique."

Levi's current goal is to train all five dimensions of Breathing Technique (excluding perception) to the thirteenth level around the Third Ring stage.

Then, the existing Breathing Technique were reviewed and integrated.

First, the four Breathing Technique for strengthening different body parts under the power dimension are integrated into one Breathing Technique.

Levi didn't know if this idea was feasible yet, and could only try it after he reached the thirteenth level of these Breathing Technique.

Ultimately, Levi's goal is to unify all Breathing Technique into a Ultimate Creature Breathing Technique.

After that, you'll only need to focus all your efforts on mastering one Breathing Technique.

Of course, it's too early to talk about ultimate life forms, but consolidating power is imperative.

Besides his Breathing Technique, Levi's magical skills have also made great progress.

Levi ————

Thunderbird: Sixth Order (31256/40000) Extreme Ice Finger: Sixth Order (12567/40000)

Blade Storm: Fifth Order (24678/30000)

" At the Sixth Order of Extreme Ice Finger, its power is comparable to that of an S-rank attack. After reaching the Seventh Rank, it will definitely have the attack power of a C-rank Third Ring spell."

"Now my spell attacks, Five Fireball Technique, Thunderbird, Extreme Ice Finger, Blade Storm are all top-notch killing moves. Any one of them would be too much for an ordinary Second-Ring Wizard to handle."

Blade Storm was a spell Levi learned later. It's an extremely cool spell; when used, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin, perfect for showing off.

This can compensate for the fact that Levi is ugly in his monster form.

Levi closed the Proficiency Panel.

Over the past year, he has spent more time summarizing and reflecting.

At the Dragon Tea Party, there was no pressure on Levi to make a decision, so he wasn't in a hurry.

And so, in the Torrent City.

Levi lived peacefully for another two years.

In the past two years, many things have happened in Torrent City. Some of these things were done by demons, some by wizards, or wizards used the name of demons to do some illegal and criminal things.

During this period, Levi also encountered some unexpected disasters, but thanks to his strength, he managed to get through them without any real danger.

The Torrent City is becoming increasingly chaotic.

Many wizards in the Upper City District mysteriously disappeared the next day when the sun rose as usual.

In this oppressive and tense atmosphere, like the long night before a storm.

Thanks to Bo Gang's bloodline, Levi successfully trained the Adamantine Breathing Technique to the thirteenth level.

Of course, after it was finally confirmed that there were no tracking marks on Bo Gang, the taciturn Mountain Giant Bo Gang also joined the Green Field Fairy House's camp.

Besides the Adamantine Breathing Technique, Levi's Black Whale, Jade Dragon, Kui Beast, Silver Mountain Dragon, Death Ash, and Mountain Ape Breathing Technique have also successively reached the twelfth rank in the past two years.

This allowed Levi's overall strength to leap to a new level.

I typed this on the high-speed train, so there might be some typos. I'll correct them later.

Additionally, if any readers have any good ideas about skill fusion, the protagonist's future development path, or which plot points you'd like to see, please feel free to share your opinions in the comments section of this chapter or the book review.

I will refer to (copy book reviews) as appropriate, without deviating from the main outline and basic settings of this book.
