Doesn't that sound fantastical? While other Stigmata Wizard have countless slaves, sometimes numbering in the hundreds of millions or even billions, the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, a Level 6 Great Wizard, has no slaves—not a single one...

Because he didn't have any, he didn't allow other academies to use slaves in academy battles.

Therefore, this war between the three academies always seemed to lack something.

Leo secretly investigated these secrets because of what Roderick had told him: he would be very poor in the future.

His only connection with Roderick was his knowledge of the Stone of Indestructibility, so if Roderick said he would be poor, it could only be because of that knowledge.

Through his own investigation and observations over the years at the Undying Body Academy, Leo had a bad feeling.

This demiplane is so barren that its energy is almost completely drained. Leo has never seen a demiplane like this before!

If we were to draw an analogy to Earth's social structure, Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard would at least be the CEO of a publicly listed company, yet he's living in a slum—this is highly unusual and something is definitely amiss!

In the center of the demiplane, Leo once again saw the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard was exactly the same as he had been twenty years ago, even his posture had not changed. It was as if the last time they met was not twenty years ago, but yesterday.

"Greetings, Great Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard. I have fulfilled my mission of protecting the academy during the war, as stipulated in the contract," Leo said respectfully.

"I already know from Roderick that you performed very well, better than I expected."

"This is information about the properties of the Stone of Indestructibility and its uses."

A crystal ball appeared in front of Leo, floating quietly.

Leo could not hide his excitement. His trembling hand slowly reached for the crystal ball. His efforts over the past twenty years had been for this moment.

When the knowledge from the crystal ball flooded into his brain, Leo's expression first changed from surprise to astonishment, and then to the discomfort of having swallowed a fly. The speed of his change of expression Yaoyao, who was sitting on Leo's shoulders, dumbfounded.

Is Leo some kind of inheritor of intangible cultural heritage on Earth?

After acquiring all the knowledge about the Stone of Indestructibility, Leo finally resolved all his doubts.

Now I know why the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard doesn't even have a single slave, why this demiplane is so barren and harsh, and why the Dean of the Academy values even the small gains from the arena so much.

All of this originated from the Stone of Indestructibility!

Back then, the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard convinced Leo to willingly sign that harsh contract with just one sentence. " The Stone of Indestructibility can create the strongest defensive system." If Leo hadn't been strong enough, he might have lost long ago.

Now that he had grasped the knowledge from the crystal ball, Leo's face darkened as he wanted to say something, but upon further reflection, it seemed that the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard had never lied to him from beginning to end. The Stone of Indestructibility could indeed create the strongest defensive system, but the conditions...

"Great, Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, may I ask how much of this ultimate defensive system you have completed?"

Leo had a bellyful of complaints and wanted to speak up for himself, but when it came to the tip of his tongue, it all changed.

Many of these things were just his own wishful thinking and had no direct connection to the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard.

He has brought this bitter fruit upon himself, and he can't blame anyone else.

I can't give you the exact number, I can only give you a rough estimate, it's less than 50%.

The unique resonance of the Undying Body resounded, causing Leo's heart, which had already dropped to his thighs, to plummet to his heels.

The Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard is already at level six, practically a second-tier existence in the entire universe, yet his mastery of this system is less than 50% complete...

This undoubtedly extinguished Leo's last remaining confidence, like a candle flickering in the wind.

Leo tried to stagger and fall to show his grief, but his overwhelming strength only caused him to sway slightly.

Holding the crystal ball in her hand, her lips moved slightly, unsure of what to say.

The properties of the Stone of Indestructibility allow it to fuse with any life form after careful blending. It then absorbs energy within the host's body, enhancing the host's defenses.

Such characteristics can be described as particularly simple, but the more advanced something is, the more complex it is, even when its characteristics are at their simplest.

After the Stone of Indestructibility is fused, it can absorb energy to enhance its defensive capabilities. As for the energy here, any type of energy will suffice.

However, the crystal ball didn't specify how much energy absorption would increase defensive capabilities.

No wonder Leo discovered that this statue could withstand the will of the God of Giants; its characteristic is that it can contain any energy, even a little bit of will, and it can contain it with ease.

Looking at the situation of the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, a dignified level six life form, he didn't even have a single slave and lived in a barren and harsh demiplane. This shows that he had converted all his wealth into energy to feed the Stone of Indestructibility.

To give your body superhuman defensive capabilities!!

As to just how strong he is, according to unreliable and inaccurate information that Leo had heard of, no other Stigmata Wizard had ever been known to have a defensive ability that surpassed that of the one before him.

Even during the expedition to the Giant World, when his strength was suppressed to 80%, his Undying Body still firmly overpowered the God of Giants, and one battle was enough to keep the God of Giants from showing his face for many years.

The God of Giants was also a top-tier level six life form, but even with the help of the World Origin Will, he was no match for the 80% Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard in his own world. This shows just how powerful the one before them was.

As a result, the powerful, Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard told Leo that he had not yet completed 50% of the Stone of Indestructibility's defensive system...

Leo chuckled.

This isn't the strongest defense system; it's a money-devouring beast, a bottomless pit!

No wonder Roderick told Leo that he would be poor in the future. If he really fused the Stone of Indestructibility into his body, who else would be poor if not Leo!

Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard's wealth accumulated over tens of thousands of years wouldn't reach 50%, let alone Leo's meager fortune...

Is it possible to achieve 0.001%?

Leo's lips twitched; he was starting to really not want the Stone of Indestructibility in the Shadow Space.

Yaoyao was very confused by Leo's constipated expression. She didn't know what knowledge Leo had gained, or why his face was turning pale and then green.

"Master Leo, to be honest, many Stigmata Wizard possess knowledge about the Stone of Indestructibility, and they also have quite a few Stone of Indestructibility in their possession. However, as far as I know, the only one who has truly fused the Stone of Indestructibility into himself is the great Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard."

"I didn't mean to stop you, Master. I just hope you'll think things through carefully. Once the fusion is complete..."

Leo looked at Roderick and seemed to see pain in his expression, and even unspoken subtext.

It's possible that the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, who discovered the properties of the Stone of Indestructibility, was just a junior wizard at the time. After discovering Stone of Indestructibility properties, he didn't consider the consequences, which resulted in the tragic situation we see today.

Although the fusion makes it really powerful, it's not easy to live without a single energy crystal!

"Thank you for the reminder, Dean. I will think it over carefully," Leo said with a sigh.

"Furthermore, I must remind you that any knowledge about the Stone of Indestructibility belongs exclusively to the great, Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard. You cannot utter a single word about it, otherwise..."

"I see,"

It took a lot of willpower for Leo to suppress the urge to smirk. The Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard did this entirely to create an air of mystery around the Stone of Indestructibility, and then lure one wizard after another into paying money to learn from it.

How strong is the strongest defensive system?

powerful,

There is nothing stronger than this.

Can one cultivate?

It is absolutely possible, but there are almost no conditions for cultivation.

Do you want to cultivate?

I doubt you could find more than a handful of people out of a million who would be willing to cultivate themselves; who wants to live a life of poverty?

There are countless paths to the future; there's no need to choose the most difficult one. The path to happiness beside it is just as good!

If such knowledge were completely made public, I wouldn't say it would be worthless, but its value would certainly be low.

It is precisely because of the mystique forcibly created by the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard that knowledge about the Stone of Indestructibility has become so expensive.

This is just a publicity stunt!

Whoever excitedly paid a high price for the knowledge of the Stone of Indestructibility, after realizing they had been deceived, and looking at the level six Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, they would have to swallow the bitter pill themselves.

"Great, Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, I am about to depart. I offer you my deepest respect."

Regardless of the properties of the Stone of Indestructibility, Leo has completed all his business at the Undying Body Academy, and it's time for him to leave.

"I hope you can reach the Stigmata stage soon. I have high hopes for you."

Having nothing to offer as a gift, the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard could only bid farewell to Leo with his meager expectations.

Leo, having left the demiplane, stood motionless in front of the teleportation array. It seemed that Benji had known about this situation all along and was already waiting in front of the teleportation array.

Leo took out a wizarding ring and handed it to Roderick. "Dean, I'm leaving now. Please give this wizarding ring to Tao Mia as a parting gift."

Roderick opened his mouth to try and persuade Leo to stay, but seeing Leo's resolute attitude, he could only sigh slightly and accept the Wizard Ring. "I'm afraid I might not be a match for the Master next time we meet. I am honored to have fought alongside the Master."

"Me too."

Amidst Leo's laughter, the teleportation array activated, and Leo left the Undying Body Academy, eager to return to his wizard tower.

But considering the journey, it's best not to get too excited too soon; it will take another seven or eight years.
