Upon returning to the Wizard Tower, Leo and his group saw that there were already quite a few wizards outside the tower before Benji had even landed.
The level-one Gulu Beast that remained at home were deeply terrified of these wizards and dared not offend them, so they could only carefully accompany them.
Every wizard here could wipe them all out in an instant!
Seeing Leo and his ancestor return was like seeing his saviors.
"Haha, this must be Wizard Leo. I'm the vice president of the Dawn Daybreak Association, and I've come to invite you to join our association."
Leo looked at the smiling, middle-aged wizard in front of him. Although he had suppressed his aura, he was undoubtedly Level Three Great Wizard.
As for the Dawn Daybreak Association he mentioned, Leo searched through all his memories but found no relevant information.
"I'm sorry, I have no plans to join any organization."
Even when faced with Level Three Great Wizard, Leo refused with neither arrogance nor servility.
"Don't be in such a hurry. You may not have heard of our association. I can introduce it to you. Joining our association will bring many benefits and provide a lot of help on your path of Elemental Body Tempering."
This vice president didn't have the slightest bit of the imposing presence of Level Three Great Wizard. Even after Leo explicitly refused, he continued to promote his association. This persistent attitude reminded Leo of the days when he handed out flyers on the streets of Earth.
"I'm used to being alone. I haven't joined any organizations before, and I won't in the future. Please go back now."
Regarding rejection, Leo could only say that he was all too familiar with it: when you reject someone, don't give them even the slightest hope; it's better for everyone that way.
"Alright then, but if you change your mind later, you must consider our Dawn Daybreak Association first. Once you become Level Two Wizard, you can directly obtain the position of Vice President."
Despite being told to leave by Leo, the Level Three Great Wizard continued talking, but upon seeing the unwavering determination in Leo's eyes, he knew that this attempt to recruit him would fail.
After the Level Three Great Wizard led the group away, a level one Gulu Beast stepped forward and took out dozens of invitation letters.
"Lord Leo, these are all letters left by the wizards who have visited us recently."
Leo waved his hand and stuffed all the letters into the Shadow Space. His mood, which was already not good, became even worse now.
"Heh, your information has been sold like a commodity. More wizards will be coming to you soon. Elemental Body Refinement Wizard, even if they're only at level one, are highly sought after."
Yaoyao snorted coldly. He was equally furious about Leo's leak of information. They had been hiding it so well, but now the whole world knew. How could he pretend to be weak and deceive others in the future?
In the Wizard World, Elemental Body Refinement Wizard is defined as a genius, radiating brilliance.
No matter which organization recruits Leo, with a little training, he will become their best fighting force, henchman, and figurehead...
If I could advance to the Stigmata Wizard, I'd be rolling in money!!!
No wonder these organizations' eyes lit up like brown bears seeing honey when they saw Leo!
If you can't train them yourself, then find someone else!
" Leo, do you think it might be... Amanda and Amy who betrayed you?" Yaoyao asked Leo cautiously in a low voice.
"It couldn't be them, they wouldn't dare." Leo was furious about the leaked information, which was now known to the whole world, but he had no solution.
He was just a lowly First-Level Wizard, with a heart full of anger, but nowhere to vent it.
From another perspective, the fact that he sells intelligence well shows that many people value him, which should make him happy.
"Those are Charlotte's sore losers. When we're strong enough, we'll make them pay for what happened today." Yaoyao stretched out her little claws and slashed at the air in front of her eyes as if she wanted to disfigure Charlotte's face.
"We'll deal with the future later. No matter which organization's wizards come next, stop them and say I'm not here."
"Yes, Lord Leo," said Benji.
Leo had no choice but to avoid these organizations that came to his door to recruit him.
He couldn't afford to offend any of these organizations, so he had no choice but to go into hiding.
Fortunately, there's no forced buying or selling in the Wizard World, otherwise he was afraid he'd be taken away and dissected for research.
In the Wizard World, it is strictly forbidden for wizards to experiment on their subjects; once discovered, they must be destroyed without mercy.
This is the source of Leo's confidence in staying safely in the Wizard Tower even after the information was leaked.
Entering the Wizard Tower,
The area on the first floor designated for the breeding of Gulu Beast already had over twenty Gulu Beast cubs playing and making Gulu Gulu.
Leo was about to get closer to take a look, Yaoyao's eyes lit up, and she was about to teleport over to play with these little guys.
Yaoyao's destructive power towards the Gulu Beast cubs was already witnessed in the Jeft World; it was simply outrageous.
Leo immediately reached out and grabbed Yaoyao, who had already teleported away, and brought her back.
He said sternly to Yaoyao, "These Gulu cubs are very important experimental subjects. They cannot survive outside yet. You must not disturb them, and you must not bully them."
"If you want to play, find those level one Gulu Beast."
"What's the point of those adult ones? They're not fun at all," Yaoyao muttered softly, sounding aggrieved.
But seeing Leo's stern gaze, she instantly gave up, "Alright, alright, I won't play with them anymore."
After saying that, he vanished from Leo's hand in an instant, and no one knew where he went.
Leo walked up to the Gulu Beast Gulu Beast, picked one up, and carefully examined it.
The Gulu Beast cub stared at Leo with its big eyes, making Gulu Gulu. Perhaps sensing the kindness emanating from Leo, it even touched Leo's palm.
Leo was both amused and exasperated by what he saw. If the little guy knew he was going to throw him onto the lab table, he definitely wouldn't have done it.
After checking each person, Leo drew blood from all of them and extracted a portion of the samples.
For example, fur, tissue fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, bone marrow, a small piece of broken bone...
This immediately caused the Gulu cubs, who had just felt that Leo was kind, to stay far away from Leo. This was no benevolent person; he was clearly a villain.
"Judging from our perception, this second-generation Gulu Beast is significantly stronger than its non-evolving counterparts. It seems the experiment on racial evolution has been largely successful. I will continue to monitor it. To avoid having too few experimental individuals, you should reproduce more."
"Yes, Lord Leo."
All the Gulu Beast, including Benji, responded. Even without Leo's exact numbers, they could tell that these newborn Gulu Beast cubs were more than twice as strong as the cubs born in the Jeft World.
This means that these Gulu Beast cubs have a wider range of potential for advancement and higher levels of racial constraints.
With their inherited genes altered, they have a higher starting point and can go much further than other Gulu Beast.
Not to mention these newly born Gulu Beast cubs, even the Gulu Beast themselves have seen varying degrees of growth in strength over the past few years, with some even feeling the bottleneck of reaching level two.
Back on the fourth floor of the lab, Leo didn't immediately start an experiment. Instead, he sat quietly by the window, carefully considering the events of the past few days and future developments.
Since completing the integration of Level-One Elemental Body Refinement Wizard and being proven in the Tournament, his strength is absolutely among the top tier of First-Level Wizard.
With an attack power approaching 4000 and a defense power reaching 2300, the damage absorbed by each shadow has increased from 10000 points to 24000 points.
At Level One Body Refinement Wizard absorbs 10,000 damage from their shadow. Later, after deciphering the equation of the motion trajectory of fission particles, the Elemental Wizard advanced to the next level, increasing the shadow's damage absorption to 15,000. The Godslaying Set also provides a 60% bonus to the Shadow Talent.
Each shadow is now absorbing 24,000 points of damage!!!
Fifteen shadows, each capable of absorbing 24,000 points of damage, were unable to penetrate Leo's defenses, even when First-Level Wizard's high-end attack only dealt 2,000 points of damage.
Only Level Two Wizard can harm Leo.
The damage is first mitigated by 2300 points of defense, then absorbed by the shadow, leaving the user with very little damage to withstand in the end.
Leo's life is even harder to kill than those of Level Two Wizard!!!
Leo has already collected the rewards for the Level-One Championship; the top 2,500 received 15,000 energy crystals.
Such a number is a huge number even for Leo, let alone those ordinary wizards. No wonder those wizards are desperately trying to achieve a good ranking.
The subsidies from the Third-Class Wizard Medal over the years, along with the dividends from the Jeft World, have given Leo more than three thousand energy crystals.
With the competition rewards now included, Leo's assets almost exceeded 20,000.
This number is rare even among First-Level Wizard, let alone Level Two Wizard.
With money in hand, of course, one should spend it. Leo spent 10,000 energy crystals to buy the elemental knowledge he had long coveted.
During this competition, Leo discovered that he was quite good at using lightning magic and could definitely learn it in depth to make up for his lack of low-level magic.
Leo didn't have many requirements; he didn't expect to reach 20 times the attack power, just 18 times would be enough.
100 points of mental strength, multiplied by 18, equals 1800 points.
The Elemental Body Refinement Wizard gains a 20% bonus, Godslaying Set gains a 40% bonus, that's 2880 points...
Looking at the numbers I calculated,
Leo
Forehead...
It's good, not bad.
Leo reached out and parted the Shadow Space, revealing a crystal coffin containing the wizard Gru.
Looking at Leo 'Gru peaceful expression inside the coffin, devoid of any pain, his arrogance, laughter, and ferocity gone, this was perhaps the most composed expression he had ever displayed in his life. "I was thinking of dissecting you to see if I could find anything new, but I think I'll pass. Any traces I could find would have been erased long ago."
Soon, an inconspicuous burial mound appeared next to the wizard's tower. Except for when Leo came to bury Gru, Leo never came back.
It's not that Leo doesn't have feelings, but rather that feelings are best kept to oneself.
