The Wind Disaster Secret Realm.

This was the first secret realm that Levi explored two hundred years ago, when he was only First-Circle Wizard.

Now that time has passed, I feel a deep sense of emotion.

The Seven-Night Soul Return Grass was picked by Levi at the behest of the Tower Master.

When Levi thought of the tower master, he thought of the Gray-White Tower.

"Once I'm done with things here, I can go visit some old friends on Green Forest Island."

While checking the messages, Levi saw Triss's message.

"Immortal Banyan Dragon Lady contacted me, most likely to ask about the Holy Grail. The problem is, the Holy Grail is out of her reach. How should I explain this to her?"

Levi pondered; he had an agreement with the Immortal Banyan Dragon. After thinking it over, he decided to first make a trip to the Endless Sea and resolve the matter.

"That damned Three-Headed Dragon Spawn actually took the Holy Grail, preventing me from completing Immortal Banyan Dragon Lady's mission!"

Levi has already come up with a reason, and there will be a projection to testify for him at that time.

The Immortal Banyan Dragon knew very little about him, only that Levi possessed dragon blood. It was impossible for it to discern the relationship between Levi and the Three-Headed Dragon Spawn.

After thinking for a moment, Levi asked:

"Deucis, I plan to meet a pure-blooded Immortal Banyan Dragon ... She shouldn't be able to tell that you're inside me, right? After all, you were also Immortal Banyan Dragon in your previous life."

The Holy Grail said, "Don't worry, as Sauron's chosen one... Sauron's treasures all have special shielding mechanisms. Not to mention sub-adult pure-blooded Dragonkind, even adult pure-blooded dragons and mythical Dragonkind can't tell the difference."

Levi said, "I understand. I'm mainly worried about causing unnecessary trouble and misunderstandings."

With a sense of security, he tore open the Scarlet Darkside and stepped inside.

Entrance to the Ancient Saint Plane.

The Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragon Prison.

Nicholas God Model guards the center of the magic circle; with him there, the gate is secure. Blood Eye and Red Devil are only good for support. Aside from the Primal Soul Wizard, anyone else who comes is just easy prey.

Not long after.

Levi returned to that wild, untouched subspace. It still existed there. He sighed with emotion:

"In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed."

Levi's figure emerged from the Magma Fire Sea.

"This place is quite nice. If it weren't for the need to hide the subspace entrance, I would have moved the whole place into the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm..."

Of course, Levi was just saying that it would take a lot of time and effort to completely empty the place.

The once-powerful Hundred Eye Demon Domain is now increasingly devoid of demonic energy. Perhaps in a while, Nora will be able to purify this place.

Starry Sea Area.

Nether King City.

Levi met Ai Niya he hadn't seen for a long time.

After the Fifth Ring, Ai Niya was like a sword drawn from its sheath, its sharpness fully revealed.

Upon seeing Levi, he laughed loudly and said, "Congratulations on winning the Fifth Ring."

Levi said, "Congratulations to you, congratulations to you."

He concealed his presence slightly with the Hermit Rune, not revealing too much of his mental energy fluctuations. It wasn't to hide his true strength, but simply because he didn't want to give Ai Niya too much of a blow.

After all, they were at roughly the same level before. Now he's at the perfect level of the Fifth Ring, while Ai Niya is only at the ordinary level of the Fifth Ring. The young man is prone to doubting his life.

Ai Niya said:

"The Dark Ancient Tower, what a magical place..."

Having not seen each other for a long time, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Ai Niya recounted some of his experiences in the Ancient Tower to Levi... such as his two encounters with Gandalf.

Upon hearing this, Levi looked on with envy and said:

"You're really lucky to have met such a kind and righteous master as Gandalf... If I have the chance, I'd like to meet him."

Ai Niya patted her chest and said, "I'll introduce you to someone if I have the chance."

After exchanging pleasantries.

Levi arrived at the House of Witches.

The Immortal Banyan Dragon Lady, who was perched on the tree, suddenly opened her eyes, her golden dragon pupils revealing a deep gaze.

Silently, Levi had disappeared from the square and appeared inside the Demon Tree.

A phantom image of Immortal Banyan Dragon coiled within it, transforming into a girl who looked to be only about ten years old.

The little girl wore a long, pleated dress with vibrant colors like Hundred Flowers, small leather shoes, and a green flower wreath on her head.

Levi's heart stirred. Extraordinary beings in this world do not have the concept of transformation, let alone take pride in transforming into human form.

They admire their powerful bodies and imposing stature.

Unexpectedly, this Immortal Banyan Dragon Lady actually transformed into a little girl.

This isn't a lady, it's clearly a little kid!

However, considering that the Immortal Banyan Dragon is only a minor for pure-blooded Dragonkind, it is understandable.

When the little girl saw Levi, she looked him over for a moment and said in a tone that was both childish and mature, "Little guy, do you still remember our promise?"

Levi immediately looked grief-stricken and said, "Of course I remember. It's all my fault for being too weak... I failed to live up to your expectations, senior, and wasted a Ancient Tower Key. The Holy Grail was stolen by that ugly Dragon Spawn. Senior, you won't blame me, will you?"

The little girl paused for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "You don't need to blame yourself so much. I've already seen the video... With the strength of the Three-Headed Dragon Spawn, apart from the Primal Soul Wizard, no one can take the Holy Grail from it."

Levi sighed:

"Yes, how could there be such a monstrous creature..."

The little girl said:

"According to the agreement, this Book of Myriad Spirits is not for you."

Levi said, "I failed to complete the mission, so I am naturally not qualified to accept this. I am already extremely grateful that you will not hold me accountable for wasting the Ancient Tower Key."

The little girl said calmly:

"The Ancient Tower Key is nothing. I see that your strength has improved quite quickly since your trip to the Ancient Tower. You must have gained a lot from it. Consider this opportunity a free gift to you."

Levi said gratefully, "Thank you very much, senior. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to contact me. I will do my best to help within my capabilities."

The little girl smiled and said:

"Then I won't hold back then."

Levi suddenly felt like he had boarded a pirate ship.

"Have I been tricked?"

With a wave of her hand, the little girl caused Levi to disappear into the Demon Tree space.

Levi opened his eyes and saw Triss leaning against the door frame, her long, beautiful legs extending from the slit of her apothecary robe, gazing at Levi with a playful expression:

"Long time no see... Levi."

Levi immediately said, somewhat embarrassed:

"After leaving the Ancient Tower, I had a sudden realization and immediately went into seclusion. I couldn't visit you right away, please forgive me... I learned that Ai Niya has successfully returned and advanced to the Fifth Ring. Congratulations!"

Triss turned around, went back to the cabin, and said:

"Come in and talk."

Levi took a deep breath, composed himself, and stepped inside.

"I should have come and taken a look around first."

Inside the cabin.

Triss lay on her side on the sofa, her right hand supporting her head, her posture casual, completely unlike that of Origin Soul witch. After a moment of silence, she said:

"In retrospect, letting you into the Ancient Tower was the right choice. Thank you for saving Ai Niya."

Levi's heart stirred, and he asked:

"What do you mean by that, madam? Ai Niya was able to leave the tower safely entirely due to her own abilities and efforts, and it has nothing to do with me."

Triss chuckled and said:

"Still putting on an act with me, huh? Stop pretending. I know you're Gandalf. Trying to do good deeds anonymously, huh? You're quite the cunning one. I almost mistook those Three-Headed Dragon Spawn for you."

Gandalf, who saved Ai Niya, Sera, and the other Rogue Wizard from the Rage Thunder Grand Arcanist, is that you?

When Ai Niya was out, the Gandalf she encountered was you, wasn't it?

"Let me think. That Rage Thunder Grand Arcanist was killed by an unknown golden- Dragon Spawn, and you killed that Dragon Spawn, accidentally discovered my hairpin, so you pretended to be Gandalf, made up a reason, and went to give it to Ai Niya. Am I right?"

Seeing Levi speechless, Triss became even more determined. Her tone softened, and she smiled sweetly, "Thank you so much. You've really gone to great lengths. Even now, Ai Niya doesn't know that I arranged for you to go in and protect him, nor does he know that you are Gandalf. It seems that your work of protecting him in secret has been very effective. You saved Ai Niya's life, and I will never forget this favor."

Levi was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "I really couldn't escape the lady's sharp eyes. That's right, I'm coming clean. I am Gandalf... Please keep this a secret, lady. I don't like being high-profile. Nowadays, in the Wizard World, some guys have started calling me the 'Light of the Rogue.' How can I bear such a title? If those top wizarding organizations knew, they would probably see Gandalf as a thorn in their side."

Levi had thought that the Three-Headed Dragon Spawn's disguise had been exposed, but now it seems that it was a false alarm.

Gandalf's true identity being revealed to Triss isn't a big problem.

After Ai Niya came out, she told Triss about her experience. With Triss's intelligence, she would surely be able to find clues.

Besides, since Levi had promised Triss to secretly help Ai Niya and had even accepted her Ancient Tower Key, if he didn't find a way to subtly inform her of this, Triss might think he was just after benefits without doing anything in return.

Triss had an expression that said, "I've seen through everything." She sat up and said, "What you said makes sense. Without the strength of Origin Soul), casually revealing your identity Gandalf would inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble."

However, what I want to say is that if you are prepared in the future, the identity of Gandalf, if used well, can bring you a lot of benefits.

Wizard Civilization are structured like a pyramid; while the vast, independent community lacks powerful individuals, its sheer numbers make up for it. If you can leverage this, you might be able to contend with top-tier wizarding organizations.

Furthermore, there are a few things I can tell you. Although the main power in the Wizard Council lies with the top organizations and families, there are still many high-ranking members who hold goodwill towards independent cultivators. Throughout history, many Legendary Wizard have risen from humble beginnings to reach the pinnacle of civilization.

Levi nodded; he understood what Triss meant.

While stability and security are paramount, it's sometimes necessary to leverage external resources and showcase one's strengths, which might allow one to connect with some top-level figures.

The important figures here refer not only to the Primal Soul Wizard, but also to the Great Wizard and even the Legendary Wizard.

If one could stand on the side of the powerful figures who support Rogue Wizard, it might be a way to leverage their influence.

In short, once class barriers arise in any civilization, conflicts between ordinary people and Heavenly Dragon Person will inevitably emerge, and this is something that cannot be prevented.

Triss asked, "How is your Potion Making level now?"

Levi laughed:

"I can't speak for other things, but in the Potion Making, I should be considered outstanding in the Fifth Ring. After all, with Ms. Triss's guidance, how could I be bad?"

Triss rolled her eyes at Levi and said:

"I like hearing this kind of flattery, say a few more."

Levi was speechless.

Old ginger is spicier, and so are women...

Triss said:

"I have some research projects on new drugs. If you have time, you can help me with some of the research work. Of course, I will pay you for the research."

Levi said, "No problem, what matters to you is my matter."

Triss covered her forehead and pondered:

"It seems there's nothing else... By the way, Lady Idrasera is a great opportunity. You can get closer to her. She's an eighth-level pure-blooded Dragonkind, even though she only recently reached that level. But in the Endless Sea, she's a top-tier powerhouse. The true combat strength of a pure-blooded Dragonkind cannot be measured by ordinary standards."

Levi said, "I understand."

He knew the little girl was strong, but he didn't expect her to be level eight...

Level nine is a fully grown adult, while level eight can be considered a sub-adult.

Levi began to worry. Would the little girl realize he was fooling her? After all, she was an eighth-level expert, and her methods were far more numerous than Levi had imagined.

"Forget it, there's no use thinking about this. If the little girl wants to kill me, I can't fight back. Since she didn't react, it means she probably didn't notice anything amiss. After all, Dragonkind ' mental development is relatively slow..."

As Levi was leaving, Triss said:

"There's one more thing..."

Levi said, "Please speak, madam."

Triss said:

"Take some time to go to the association and get your Fifth Ring Pharmacist Qualification Certificate. In the future, I will announce to the public that you are my personally trained pharmacist apprentice. I know you don't like being high-profile, but only in this way can I easily introduce you to some of the really important people in my circle. I have known these people for many years, and their basic character is guaranteed, so don't worry too much."

Levi pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll get the certificate as soon as possible."

Triss waved her hand, and a card flew into Levi's palm.

"This is my letter of introduction. With this, you can go to the headquarters of the Potion Makers' Association in the Starry Sea Area for certification. They will give you some special assistance."

Levi said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Levi. I will repay your kindness in the future!"

Triss waved her hand, signaling Levi to step back.

Levi arrived at the shop in the House of Witches, hoping to see if there was anything good to buy.

Upon opening the product list, I immediately spotted a great item.

"One piece of Immortal Banyan Dragon Blood Essence, Price: 500,000 Great Stone".

Levi was overjoyed; he hadn't expected that his chance to try his luck would actually yield some results.

He didn't even bother to ask the store manager why the price of Bloodline Essence had increased so drastically, and quickly bought it.

Before long, a Bloodline Essence radiating an earthy yellow and pale gold luster appeared in his hand.

Only then did he ask:

"Madam, I remember that Bloodline Essence used to cost 100,000 Great Stone per serving... Why has the price increased so drastically?"

The store manager glanced at the somewhat unfamiliar Levi and said indifferently, "I don't know either, it's the organization's decision."

Levi looked thoughtful, no longer dwelling on the question. It must be related to the Immortal Banyan Dragon's advancement.

Even if it were a million per copy, let alone 500,000, he would still buy it.

The Immortal Banyan Dragon is an earth-type Dragonkind, and its Bloodline Essence, barring any unforeseen circumstances, will be one of the main materials for advancing the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique to level six. Next, he only needs to find a water-type Dragonkind.

Of course, he is only making a reasonable guess based on the materials required to advance to the next level. As for whether the actual situation of advancing to the sixth level is like this, it is still unknown, after all, his Golden Serpent Breathing Technique has not yet reached its limit.

Furthermore, if he had the opportunity to obtain evolution materials in the future, he would prefer to evolve the Golden Snake. This way, he could maintain consistency with the other five dragons.

Levi glanced at the other product lists, then left expressionlessly.

The formula for the potion he needed to break through to the Origin Soul was not available. Even if it were for sale, it was highly unlikely that he, as an outsider wizard, could purchase it.

"We still need to start with Triss... after all, she owes me another favor."

Triss definitely has the formula for breaking through to the Origin Soul. We can just ask Triss for help, Levi can prepare whatever materials she needs.

Nether King City.

Witch's Little Shop.

Nearly seventy years have passed, and the witch Celia still looks the same, but her cultivation level is only that of a senior Fourth Ring cultivator.

Being able to enter the House of Witches is already considered exceptional, but among these people, the differences are still vast.

When Levi appeared, Celia was somewhat dazed until memories flooded back, and a hint of envy flashed in her calm eyes.

"Levi... senior, you, you've reached the Fifth Ring?"

Levi laughed:

"Good luck, Celia, you've reached the Fourth Ring level too, the Fifth Ring is within reach."

Celia put down her book and said with a wry smile, "I... I'm already five hundred years old, and I only have two hundred years left to live. Getting the Fifth Ring will be very difficult."

Levi frowned and said:

"Ms. Celia, how can you give up so easily? A lot can happen in two hundred years."

Celia said:

"Thank you for the encouragement. You're so kind. You're clearly a genius, yet you're always so approachable, just like Senior Ai Niya."

Levi asked seriously, "Celia, are there any auctions in Nether King City or the Endless Sea recently?"

Celia thought for a moment and said, "I haven't heard of any high-end auctions yet, and you probably wouldn't be interested in the low-end ones either. I'll keep an eye out for them and let you know as soon as I find any."

Levi handed Celia a bag and a stone tablet.

"Thank you for your help. I have some materials I need here. Could you keep an eye out for them and contact me if you have any leads?"

Celia took the bag and found that it contained 100,000 Great Stone, which was no small sum for her.

Most importantly, in the corner, there were some Fourth Ring Meditation Technique aids, enough for her to practice for a while.

Celia wasn't one to be pretentious, and she quickly thanked her:

"Thank you for your trust, senior."

Levi said, "We've known each other for a long time, no need to be so polite."

After saying that, Levi left.

Celia and the Little Witch stared at Levi's retreating figure, frozen in place.

"Is this the world of geniuses?"

Green Forest Island.

The grass is lush and green, and the flowers are in full bloom.

In the herb garden, the Green Forest Witch gazed at the newly ripened Fifth Ring herbs, feeling delighted.

Suddenly, a figure appeared beside her. She was startled, but breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing who it was.

The newcomer was none other than Levi. The Green Forest Witch smiled and said, "Senior Levi, you've come here to see Mai Lin and the others, haven't you?"

There was a time when Levi had to call him "senior." Now, the tables have turned, and it's Li Wei who has to call him "senior."

Two hundred years may seem like little change to Lola, but it was enough for Levi to transform into a dragon.

Levi smiled and asked, "Where did Mai Lin, Winnie, Li Ya go?"

The Green Forest Witch said, "Mai Lin went to the Potion Makers' Association to interview candidates, while Winnie went to apply for the Second-Ring Potion Maker Qualification Certificate. Li Ya accompanied her."

Levi said helplessly, "Alright... By the way, where is the White Serpent Yorman?"

The Green Forest Witch said, "Yolman was taken away by his old master, Salman, the first tower master of the Gray-White Tower, because of a chance encounter for Yolman."

Levi recalled the melee wizard in his mind; he had a good impression of him, finding him to be an interesting old man.

It's worth mentioning that Yolman is now a level three creature.

With this opportunity, the road ahead will surely be even longer.

final.

Levi visited the graves of Tim, Marco, and others, and then left with a sigh.

He was also planning to go to the Potion Makers' Association, and maybe he could run into Mai Lin and the others there.

However, before that, he wanted to visit his old friends at the Starfire Wizard Academy.

Starfire Island.

Today marks the day that the Primal Soul Wizard Ya Ge Bu officially assumes the position of Vice Dean of the Academy, and faculty and students from various departments gather together to celebrate.

Having returned from the Gate of the Underworld, the Rose Witch has successfully advanced to the Fourth Ring. Now, she and Nute teach at the wizarding academy together.

Ha Fuman, a potion master, was drinking alone, reflecting on life. He was now a senior wizard of the Fourth Ring and was very satisfied with his progress.

Sha Wei Er, from the Artifact Forging Department, had just advanced to the Fourth Ring and was mingling in the crowd, laughing heartily.

The wizard Beckman, whom the Holy Infant met inside the Ancient Tower, became a professor in the potion department because of his Fifth Ring cultivation.

Among the crowd, the Black Pearl Kid Garcia appeared quite amiable, without any airs of Origin Soul.

Suddenly, a Fifth Ring wizard appeared.

Rose and the others were pleasantly surprised to see who had arrived.

Sha Wei Er laughed, "Hahaha, Levi... Oh dear, you've already reached the Fifth Ring. My apologies for being so abrupt. Greetings, senior."

Levi patted Sha Wei Er on the shoulder and laughed, "Stop with all this nonsense, let's find a place to drink."

He gathered his group of cronies and found a secluded spot.

Of the group that once existed, only Levi Fifth Ring remain.

Ha Fuman remarked:

"Back in Torrent City, I knew you were no ordinary person, and time has proven my judgment correct."

Sha Wei Er said:

"When I was at the Black Pearl Market, I also knew that Levi was no ordinary person."

Rose joked, "Levi, when are you going to visit the Sword Flower Tower? My twenty sisters are waiting to meet you and make friends."

Of the Twenty-Four Flowers, three have withered, leaving only 21.

Levi's heart stirred.

Having come to the Wizard World, I really should take a stroll through the Sword Flower Tower, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the Hundred Flower Knight.

He laughed and said, "Once I've finished my business here, I'll go and meet all of you beautiful ladies."

Nute remarked with emotion, "Looking back on those days and then at today... Levi, you will definitely be the one who goes the furthest among us in the future."

Levi looked up at the sky and said, "Perhaps. The Wizard's Path is long and arduous. Without entering the Origin Soul, one will eventually leave in obscurity. I hope that one day, everyone can become famous Endless Sea."

Before leaving the academy, Levi visited his senior Garcia.

Garcia was delighted and once again invited Levi to become a visiting professor at the academy.

This time, Levi readily agreed and, going with the flow, joined the Potion Making department.

Before acquiring the Origin Soul, he needs to make as many connections as possible with some influential figures who are worth befriending; these are hidden treasures.

Several days later.

Starry Sea Area.

Potion Makers' Association.

Mai Lin, Winnie, Li Ya boarded an airship and left the place, heading home.

Winnie was excited.

"I am now Second-Ring Potion Maker."

Mai Lin said, "Congratulations! As a witch, you need to have a special skill to establish yourself in the Wizard World."

Li Ya said, "I also want to become a pharmacist, but I plan to consider part-time work after I reach the Third Ring."

Mai Lin glanced at Li Ya and said:

"You just haven't been practicing hard enough. Otherwise, with your talent, you should have reached the Third Ring by now. You should all learn from Levi."

Li Ya pouted. She felt she had worked very hard, practicing for at least eight hours a day.

They spent three days chatting and laughing, discussing their future plans.

After traveling for an unknown amount of time, suddenly, the sounds of fighting seemed to come from ahead.

Mai Lin, whose cultivation level was the highest, changed her expression and said:

"We took a detour, and the aftershocks alone were so powerful. It's probably a fight between Fourth Ring- or even Fifth Ring wizards. During this time, the Ancient Tower was closed, and some Black Wizard started to resurface, specifically targeting those returning from the Ancient Tower."

The three of them changed direction and quickly left.

Not long after.

A witch dressed in a gray robe with narrow eyes caught up and raised her hand, unleashing Wizard's Hand tens of meters long, which attacked Mai Lin and her companions.

The gray-robed witch laughed:

"Hehehe, you think you can run away now that you've seen us make a move? Stay here!"

With a wave of her hand, Mai Lin sent dolphins formed by streams of water leaping out of the sea and hurtling towards the giant hand.

The giant hand smashed everything, then struck again.

Even with the three witches working together, it was to no avail.

Seeing this, Mai Lin threw out a blue, circular, Fourth Ring magical artifact.

This is the Ocean Ring, considered the finest among the Fourth Ring, given to her by Levi to save her life.

It wasn't that Levi was reluctant to part with Fifth Ring Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact; it was simply that Mai Lin's cultivation level was insufficient to support it.

Caught off guard, the gray-robed witch was trapped, and Mai Lin quickly led the two women away.

After the gray-robed witch escaped, Mai Lin and the other two had already run far away.

She was cursing and swearing.

Just then, a Mechanical Tyrannosaurus descended from the sky, its sharp claws grabbing it in an instant.

The grey-robed witch cried out in panic, "Which scoundrel attacked me from behind with Alchemy creature? I am a member of the Black Shark Ancestor Wizard of the Submerged Ancient City. If you dare to kill me, you'll face retribution."

The Mechanical Tyrannosaurus's eyes flashed red, and with a gentle squeeze, it turned the gray-robed witch into a meat patty.

Herman murmured:

"The people Submerged Ancient City?"

The Steel Sea Dragon emerged from the seawater, revealing its long, streamlined body.

Stella said:

"This is a disaster that happened to Mai Lin and the others without their knowledge. Luckily, we arrived in time."

The tower master and his wife searched for their companions in the Gray-White Tower and finally learned of Mai Lin's whereabouts. They rushed over, but before they could recognize each other, Mai Lin encountered an unexpected event on the way.

"Let's go find Mai Lin."

On the other side.

Relieved to have escaped death, Mai Lin said, "We've been saved by Levi once again. From now on, don't go out. Just focus on your cultivation on Green Forest Island."

Winnie didn't reply, staring blankly ahead.

A Mechanical Tyrannosaurus with a metallic sheen and an aura of steely power descended from the sky. On the sea, Steel Sea Dragon slowly emerged, stirring up massive waves.

The power of these two mechanical creations was so terrifying that it suffocated these Second-Ring Wizard.

Mai Lin's heart sank into the abyss.

"What exactly happened today?"

Until the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus suddenly spoke:

"Mai Lin, were you scared by me?"

This moment.

Mai Lin stood frozen in place, as if struck by lightning.

"Teacher?"

A remarkably realistic human projection appeared on the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus. Its appearance was none other than the familiar old man, Herman! "I'm back!"

Stella's projection also appeared in mid-air.

"And me too."

Overjoyed, Mai Lin wept, her voice trembling. "We knew you would come back... So, you've all become Alchemy beings?"

The tower master said, "You could say that. This isn't the place for pleasantries. Let's find a safe place first. That woman had accomplices."

The Steel Sea Dragon opened its massive maw and sucked Mai Lin and the others inside. The two mechanical creations disappeared into the sea.

Not long after.

A male wizard dressed in a black robe with sharkskin patterns appeared, accompanied by three Fifth Ring wizards.

Black Shark Ancestor Wizard, Saike, a powerful figure on the Black Wizard the Ominous List, possesses the perfect cultivation of the Fifth Ring and is the right-hand man of the Sixth Ring wizard [Black Shark Devourer] in the Submerged Ancient City.

He had just robbed a Fifth Ring wizard returning from the Ancient Tower. Unexpectedly, his woman, who had only gone to deal with a few Thug, never returned; she had clearly been killed in a counterattack.

His nose twitched, and the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing sharp, shark-like teeth.

"Follow me and chase them! If the enemy hasn't gone far, wipe them all out, leave no survivors!"

On the sea.

Levi has returned from the headquarters of the Potion Makers' Association.

He looked at the Fifth Ring Pharmacist Qualification Certificate in his hand and was in a good mood.

"It's so convenient to get things done through back channels..."

The interview for the Fifth Ring Pharmacist went very smoothly. With Levi's skills and Triss's connections, how could he possibly fail?

Levi recalled the slightly obsequious looks from the examiners and realized Triss's status in the Potion Makers' Association.

"A true man lives between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to a woman for long... It may be tempting to live off a woman, but I, Levi, still have to rely on myself. Now, let's go to the Sword Flower Tower to see my comrades and meet the legendary Twenty-Four Flowers."

Levi transformed into a ray of light and disappeared into the sea. After flying for an unknown amount of time, Goldie in his mind began to chirp restlessly.

Levi called Goldie out and said solemnly:

"Don't tell me the treasure is with someone else. That's not treasure hunting, that's robbery!"

This wasn't the first time Goldie had encountered this situation. Every time Levi ran over, he found it was just a passing wizard. It turned out the treasure was someone else's Storage Ring, and Levi could only leave awkwardly.

Goldie was scolded and anxiously paced around the Law Ring Holy Tower.

"Could it really be an extraordinary treasure? Well, let's go take a look this time. Lead the way."

Goldie excitedly popped out of Levi's nostril, pointed in a direction with his little finger, and squeaked.

The Hermit Rune on Levi's body flickered as he vanished into the Scarlet Darkside.

On the sea.

The Steel Sea Dragon rides the wind and waves.

The tower master stood behind him, protecting him from enemies.

He frowned.

Behind them, a monster resembling a shark flew towards them at lightning speed like a cannonball.

"Is this the Black Shark Ancestor Wizard? With the strength of a perfect Fifth Ring, he is indeed a bit troublesome."

The Tower Master and Stella's current strength should be similar to that of an ordinary senior Fifth Ring wizard, after all, they haven't been promoted for long and haven't yet mastered many powerful mechanical techniques.

When Black Shark Ancestor Wizard saw the two mechanical creations in front of him, he instinctively assumed they were someone's Alchemy creatures.

The one who can possess such a powerful Alchemy creature must be a powerhouse at the Fifth Ring level of perfection.

He sneered:

"Hiding your heads and tails, afraid to show your true faces... In that case, I'll accept these two Alchemy creatures without ceremony. You three, form a formation and trap the enemy!"

Three beams of light emanated from the three Fifth Ring wizards and shot straight into the sky.

At the same time, a huge triangular cage descended from the sky, trapping the tower master Stella inside.

But before the tower master, mechanical runes, resembling code, floated and flickered.

"Number Zero, break the magic array!"

Despite the danger, the tower master remained calm, and a mechanical voice rang in his mind.

[Number Zero has been received]

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of mechanical tentacles suddenly extended from behind the tower master.

These mechanical tentacles danced wildly, continuously injecting mysterious mechanical runes into the various nodes of the triangular magic circle.

The magic circle flickered and trembled wildly.

Seeing this, Black Shark Ancestor Wizard was stunned.

"What kind of technique is this? Alchemy creatures can even break magic arrays?"

He personally transformed into a giant shark and charged into the magic array.

"Interesting. This technique seems to be even more advanced than Alchemy School. Today I will capture you alive and take you back to my teacher for further study."

When a powerful expert at the Fifth Ring of perfection makes a move, their power is overwhelming.

The tower master had just broken through the magic array when he was rammed and sent flying by a giant shark.

His entire body was covered in mechanical claws that were inserted into the giant shark's body.

"Crack!"

The terrifying force tore the giant shark apart.

"Hehehe."

Accompanied by eerie laughter, more and more giant sharks surged in from all directions.

These giant sharks were conjured by the Black Shark Ancestor Wizard using magic, and seemed to be inexhaustible.

If it were an ordinary Fifth Ring wizard, he would have been captured long ago. He's not some quack like the Crypt Wizard.

The tower's mechanical arms flailing wildly, tearing the sharks apart, while at the same time, projectiles shot out from the ends of its tentacles.

Boom! After a series of explosions, a mechanical voice echoed in the Tower Master's mind: [Enemy's energy level is too high, escape recommended...]

The tower master transmitted his voice to Stella: "You just run, I'll hold them off for a moment, and then I'll figure out a way to find you."

Stella said:

"Are you... sure you can escape? We only have a chance if we work together."

The tower master said, "Trust me, I don't do things I'm not sure of."

Black Shark Ancestor Wizard took a deep breath, and the boundless seawater was swept up, transforming into a breath that was a hundred meters thick, which shot towards the Tower Master.

Inside Stella's womb, Mai Lin and the others looked grave and asked worriedly, "Stella, is Teacher alright?"

Stella remained silent, deeply worried, but she trusted Herman. She whispered:

"Don't worry, we've just come back from the Great Expedition battlefield, this is nothing."

The tower master drew circles with his hands, and a circular energy shield appeared in the void.

Boom! A breath of air arrived in an instant! The sea trembled, and the beasts lay dormant.

The tower master suspiciously put away the energy shield. In front of him, a tall and imposing figure stood motionless amidst the breath.

After exhaling.

An invisible aura erupted from his body, scattering all the seawater, his sleeves billowing, revealing his full, rounded muscles.

Black Shark Ancestor Wizard's expression froze. Judging from the fluctuations of the spiritual power of the person in front of him, he seemed to be no less powerful than himself. He was probably also a Fifth Ring perfect expert.

He said coldly:

"Another busybody, huh? In that case, leave them all here!"

The Black Shark Ancestor Wizard's body swelled dramatically, and black scales emerged one by one.

Similar to the Sea Abyss Alliance, many wizards in the Submerged Ancient City possess Sea Race blood.

"Raging Shark Overturns the Sea!"

The black shark giant, which had swelled to ten zhang tall, hung the seawater over several miles in a fold, and a powerful pressure poured down on Levi.

Levi gazed at him calmly, crossed his arms, and whispered, "Thunder God!"

On the sea, a fierce wind swept in, dark clouds gathered, lightning flashed and Thunderclap, and a storm descended.

A towering, purple phantom of a Thunder God, hundreds of feet tall and radiating divine power, suddenly appeared!

The inverted seawater rushed towards Levi, but the Thunder God behind Levi transformed into a figure with raised hands. The lightning in the sky carried a powerful repulsive force, which swept all the surging seawater back.

Rumble! Black and purple clashed, becoming the theme of this sea area.

Black Shark Ancestor Wizard looked shocked.

"What kind of technique is this... Primal Soul Wizard Form? No, impossible! Although this phantom can manipulate elemental power, it is far inferior to Primal Soul Wizard."

Thunder God's hair danced with the lightning, and with a flick of his right index finger, a thick Thunder Pillar shot out.

Boom! Black Shark Ancestor Wizard flashed wildly, narrowly dodging the attack.

Thunder God transformed into a bolt of lightning and appeared beside him as if by teleportation.

A Thunder palm struck the chest of the Black Shark Ancestor Wizard.

Crackling sounds!

The immense Thunder flowed into Black Shark's body, making him as bright as day. Streaks of purple light flashed, and his body shattered into pieces, vanishing into thin air under the intense heat.

One by one, charred sorcerous artifacts and rings fell and were sucked into Thunder God.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining three were also easily killed.

Levi waved his hand, Thunder God scattered into countless bolts of lightning, returning to his body.

The sea has returned to calm.

At this moment, Goldie in his mind nodded in satisfaction, as if to say that the treasure was on this person.

"Black Shark Ancestor Wizard, a powerful figure on the Ominous List, his head is worth quite a bit of money."

Levi muttered to himself.

He turned around and looked at the bewildered mechanical creation, from which a familiar voice from his memory came.

"Levi?"

The tower master did not retract the mechanical arm; he was unsure whether the person before him was indeed Levi.

Judging from Levi's current combat strength, the possibility of him being possessed by other Origin Soul powerhouses cannot be ruled out.

Levi had already guessed the identities of the two mechanical creations from the Mai Lin inside the Steel Sea Dragon's belly.

Otherwise, he would have killed everyone present just now.

He smiled genuinely and said, "Long time no see, Tower Master!"
