"How about I make a few level-two Gulu Beast your battle partners? Although their strength is average, they're still usable."
Leo was still worried about Alice going on the expedition alone; he felt uneasy.
This stems from his innate fear of death; he always felt that danger was ever-present, especially during these expeditions, when he had teetered on the brink of death countless times.
"Alright, you should go back now. I have ways to protect myself. Don't forget who my teacher is."
Alice forcefully broke free from Leo's grasp. She realized that unless she let go, Leo, whose mind was full of experiments and knowledge, had no intention of letting go at all.
Especially Leo's eyes turned strange, as if he wanted to devour someone!!!
"Oh well."
"If I can successfully advance to level two elementalist before your expedition begins, I'll accompany you."
After thinking it over, Leo came up with the best solution: no one else could be as confident as him going himself.
"Forget it. If I had First-Class Wizard Medal Level Two Elemental Body Refinement Wizard, personally protecting me, why would I participate in an expedition? What would happen to the wizards in the command center? It would completely defeat the purpose of an expedition in terms of actual combat."
"Don't worry about my safety. I hope that next time we meet, you'll appear before me as a Level Two Elemental Body Refinement Wizard."
Alice practically forced Leo out of the Ice Palace. She suddenly realized that once Leo started talking, he showed no signs of stopping. If she didn't push him out, he would probably stay there forever.
"Hehe, finding a girlfriend must be exhausting, right? Living in constant fear must be tough."
Yaoyao appeared on Leo's shoulder. He had witnessed the entire scene of Leo and Alice's reluctant parting, but he had only watched secretly and had not seen any glowing light.
However, seeing a cycad bloom is truly extremely rare.
I don't know what happened to Leo, but he suddenly had an epiphany and realized that you need to be thick-skinned to find a girlfriend.
Leo ignored Yaoyao and slowly walked from the Ice Palace toward his wizard tower. What should have been a short distance in two steps using Shadow Walking took Leo half an hour.
A smile played on her lips, and her fingers were still rubbing together, as if she was still savoring the moment they had held hands.
Alice's hands were so soft, yet so cool; just shaking hands made Leo feel as if he were experiencing the warmth of spring before the chill of winter had faded.
"Are you really sure you want Alice? This is a lifelong decision, you need to think carefully."
Yaoyao looked at Leo with a cunning gaze, as if she wanted to see if Leo was the kind of playboy.
Given Leo's current status, if he really wanted to find a partner, plenty of female wizards would come knocking on his door; having multiple partners wouldn't be a bad idea.
Just like Amanda and Aisha, whom he's been talking about, Leo would probably just open his mouth and these two wizards would come to him by express delivery.
There's no way around it, Leo is just too strong.
Leo didn't answer directly. Instead, he looked up at the sky, his smile fading, and murmured, "If my mother were still alive, she would definitely be satisfied with the daughter-in-law I found for her."
"She's sophisticated, cultured, wealthy, from a good family, has a great figure, and is beautiful. Back in Earth's time, how could a nobody like me have ever met a woman like that? God has been kind to me."
"Heh heh, getting all smug now. You two have only held hands at most, your relationship isn't even officially confirmed yet, and you're already calling her your wife. How shameless."
Yaoyao laughed at Leo, saying that he had lived for almost three hundred years and still didn't know how to date, making him practically an elder in the sect of single dogs.
"What do you know? If you're so capable, find me a girlfriend first."
How do you know I don't have any? I'm not showing you; I have so many girlfriends it'll scare you to death.
Amidst the commotion, Leo returned to his wizard tower, where he was greeted by Benji and a group of Gulu Beast.
"Not bad, the fifth generation has all reached adulthood, but there are only three of them. Are you even capable? If not, I'll just prescribe some medicine for you."
"Lord Leo, we've tried our best to conceive again, but it's not something you can get pregnant from just sleeping together today. Please give us a little more time."
Benji argued vehemently for his descendants, knowing how hard they had worked, barely getting a good night's sleep in all these years, all dedicated to creating the little Gulu Beast.
These adult Gulu Beast never stop until they're completely exhausted; it's harder and more tiring than fighting.
Although the fifth generation is small, the number of the previous generations has been gradually increasing. Now the number of the second generation has exceeded that of the first generation. Given more time, they can definitely produce more offspring.
Given enough time, even a little more time, everything is possible.
"Alright, alright, I'm somewhat at ease with them, since I can see the results. But what about you? You've had a hundred years in total, why haven't you had a single descendant?" Leo stood in front of Benji, the oppressive aura emanating from his superior position causing Benji to droop his head. He tried to speak several times, but then closed his mouth again; these things really can't be forced.
But for a dignified level three powerhouse, the ancestor of the Gulu Clan, to argue with his master about having children in front of all his descendants is... too damaging to his image.
He also has his pride.
"Are you impotent?"
"If it doesn't work, you must tell me. It's not shameful. I can get you the medicine."
Leo's twitching eyebrows glanced at Benji, especially as his gaze swept over Benji's private parts, startling Benji into immediately clamping his hind legs together.
He couldn't understand why Leo was behaving so strangely today; she had never been like this before.
If he's incapable, then how did the Gulu Beast Clan come about?
"My lord, how about I bring back some more advanced Gulu Beast from the Jeft World? That way, our population can expand, and we can reproduce faster, right?"
Since we can't argue with Leo about having children, we can only increase the population through other means, and there's no faster way than bringing people back directly from the Jeft World.
"Didn't I think of this method?"
"The blood of the Goddess of Darkness is limited. This is the optimal amount I've calculated. If we expand the population of the first generation, it will severely impact subsequent experiments and could very well lead to their premature failure. Your Gulu Beast Clan will then completely lose the chance to change the fate of your race. The only way now is for you to reproduce more."
"Remember this: having many children and raising many children is your greatest contribution."
"Yes."
Amidst a chorus of listless replies, it was clear they had truly tried their best, but due to the inherent limitations of life, the pregnancy rate was only so high. Aside from being more diligent to increase the chances of conceiving, there was no other way.
Leo was aware of this situation, but there was nothing he could do about it. This problem had plagued everyone since the birth of the wizarding civilization, and he wasn't the only one troubled by it.
After leaving the first floor of the Wizard Tower, Leo did not enter the library on the second floor, but instead went to the fourth floor, the laboratory.
"The lightning attribute sorcery has been modified and can unleash 21 times the attack power. The passive stimulation of the rune array over the years has also allowed the Thunderstorm Giant to unleash 40 times the attack power."
With Alice's help, Leo completely completed the improvement and construction of the Thunder attribute, using himself as a template.
This is the most basic logical structure. Completing this feat means that Leo no longer uses template witchcraft traded on the Knowledge Trading Platform, but instead uses entirely new witchcraft modified according to his own attributes.
Simply put, the improved Thunder Spell is a unique spell created by Leo. If other wizards were to use the spell according to Leo's design, they wouldn't even be able to unleash 80% of its normal power.
Every wizard is a unique individual. The same magic will be different in the hands of different wizards. Only magic modified according to one's own conditions is the most suitable for oneself.
"Now that all the requirements for advancing to level two on the elemental side have been met, it's time."
Leo's heart pounded wildly. Once his elemental side advanced to level two, he would directly complete the advancement to Level Two Elemental Body Refinement Wizard. At that time, his strength would usher in a new wave of growth. How could he not be excited?
"Only flowing electric current can generate a magnetic field. Blood in the body circulates, so as long as an electric current is introduced into the blood, a strong magnetic field can be generated. Furthermore, it has the advantage that the strength of the magnetic field can be controlled by controlling the speed of blood flow."
"The strength of the magnetic field also reflects the amount of energy it can hold during nuclear fission."
Everything is ready; now all that's left is the experiment!!!
Leo had thought about the theoretical framework countless times. There were no problems in the theory; what was lacking was the experiment, and the problems that arose during the experiment.
" Body Refinement Wizard, Second Layer Thunderstorm Giant Bloodline, Activated!"
Leo roared, his magical power surging like the Yellow River, his blood speed soaring to its limit, and a terrifying aura rising, directly unlocking the Bloodline Power the Thunderstorm Giant's bloodline deep within his Bloodline.
Standing ten meters tall, the Thunderstorm Giant's head touched the top of the Wizard Tower. Its terrifying physical strength rippled outwards, and the visible air fluctuations caused some of the machinery on the fourth floor to vibrate uncontrollably.
His square face was framed by a pair of cold eyes that flashed with lightning, and his strong body was firmly shrouded in the Godslaying Wizard Robe.
"Call"
The Thunderstorm Giant took a deep breath, then exhaled, the airflow traveling dozens of meters without dissipating.
Since he began the extreme stimulation of passive evolution forty years ago, this was the first time he had tested his results. He didn't expect the effect to be so good, directly causing the Thunderstorm Giant to grow two meters taller, which was approaching the limit of Level Two Body Refinement Wizard.
