"Damn it, how dare he kick me back to the Shadow World! I'm going to kill him!" Leo was still in shock at being directly returned to the Wizard World when he suddenly heard an extremely angry curse on his shoulder.
You're back?
Leo turned to look at Yaoyao, who was burning with anger, and said with a smile, "Having left the Hundred-Page World, the seal on the Little Bookworm has ended, and Yaoyao is back."
" Leo, give me three shadows, and I'll tie him up and beat him until his own grandfather doesn't recognize him, or I'll make sure he never grows up again," Yaoyao said angrily to Leo.
"Take whatever you like, no more than five dishes."
This time, Leo was very generous and no longer questioned what Yaoyao would do with the shadows.
After the Godslaying Set was updated, Leo had 189 shadows. The Seven Great Domains used up 180 of them, leaving 9 blanks. Even if Yaoyao took away three more, there would still be 6 left.
Yaoyao hearing Leo's agreement, Yao Yao snatched three small black balls from Leo with her little paws. Like a general donning armor and sword to go into battle, she fiercely declared to Leo, "Wait for me to come back."
After saying that, he stood tall and disappeared.
Leo waited for Yaoyao to seek revenge on the Little Bookworm, and took advantage of this free time to collect his Wizard Medal subsidy. The subsidy was 720 energy crystals per year, and this time he collected the amount for thirty years.
Then she went to the Knowledge Trading Platform to exchange for some advanced knowledge. After she finished processing everything, Yaoyao returned, grumbling and cursing.
"How was it? Got your revenge?"
"That's for sure. I beat him until he knelt down and begged for mercy. I told him that I'd beat him every time I saw him in the future." Yao Yao Yaoyao arrogantly.
"It's good that you've vented your anger. Let's go home."
Leo lightly touched the ground and reappeared on the floating island of the Leo Wizard Academy. It has to be said that the Godslaying Wizard Robe's ability to anchor itself in three locations within a single world is indeed very useful.
The journey from the office back to the Wizarding Academy would normally take several months, but now it was instantaneous, saving Leo several months.
Looking at his floating island, he realized that even after more than twenty years away, it hadn't changed at all.
Looking down into the academy, one could see over 30,000 students busy with their studies, while the hired teachers were all doing their own work in their respective towers.
Charlotte, the vice-principal, was handing over resources harvested from the former Black Skull territory to the Body Refinement Wizard of the Indestructible Body Academy.
Such days are typical of daily life at the college; everyone is busy, fulfilled, and happy.
"I'll go inspect the Gulu Beast for you and see if they've been slacking off or not working hard all these years." Yaoyao at the academy, Yao Yao's big eyes Gulu around, and she vanished without a trace, finding an excuse to disappear.
Ignoring him, Leo, seeing that the academy was safe and sound, immediately took out the crystal ball to contact Mahad. Although many unexpected things had happened along the way, Leo had not forgotten his initial mission, which was to protect Mahad.
Although he was confident that Mahad anyone else, he still wanted to confirm it, and there were some things he needed to find out from Mahad himself.
"Master, you're back?"
Mahad's voice came from the crystal ball, confirming to Leo that Mahad perfectly safe.
"You just got back. When did you get back? What happened to you after we parted ways?" Leo seemed to be concerned about Mahad's experiences, but actually wanted to know what happened in the Ant God World afterward.
"That day, the master and the mothership defeated the World Lord. Then, a beam of light swept by, and you all disappeared. Only the wizards on the mothership and I remained. I had a magical artifact left to me by my father, which gave me some immunity to spatial magic, which is why I wasn't teleported away."
"The command center contacted the Wizard World immediately. Under the Wizard World's command, a spatial passage was opened. Then several Stigmata Wizard came looking for you, but it seems they couldn't find you in the end."
"They just said that the three World Lord of the Ant God World were dead, our expedition was over, and they told us to come back first. I don't know what happened after that." Mahad briefly recounted what happened after Leo was teleported.
"Master, where exactly were you teleported to?"
Mahad was very curious about what had happened to Leo and the others. So many Stigmata Wizard couldn't find their trace; it must have been an incredibly dangerous experience.
"I can't explain this clearly either; you should ask your father."
Leo casually exchanged a few words and then hung up the crystal ball. He didn't know how the Wizard World had handled the matter of the Hundred-Page World, Leo didn't say much more.
After disconnecting from Mahad, Leo immediately contacted the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard.
"I heard about what happened to you. If I had known something like this would happen, I wouldn't have let you take on this deal. Luckily, you came back alive." The Undying Body clearly had inside information and knew about Leo and the others' ordeal.
"How much do you know about the Hundred-Page World, sir?" Leo asked tentatively.
"Um... well..."
"Don't bother asking so many questions. With your current level, you won't have access to such things anyway. You can learn about them when you reach my level."
"What you say is true, sir."
Leo smiled and nodded in agreement. The seemingly Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard hadn't told him anything, but in reality, he had already told him, just in a veiled way.
He told Leo that only those who reach level six are qualified to have a basic understanding of the Hundred-Page World, which means that Supreme Lord can access such things. He told Li Xi to be mindful of his boundaries and not to ask around.
This was Leo's primary purpose in contacting the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard. He was filled with curiosity about the Hundred-Page World and that Little Bookworm. Such matters could only be inquired about by a higher-level Stigmata Wizard, and the Undying Body was the best candidate.
Sure enough, this person revealed some information to him!
"I heard that recently, a lot of Guardian Wizard have appeared near the former Black Skull Stigmata Wizard territory where resources are being harvested. Do you know what's going on?" After finishing talking about the Hundred-Page World, the Undying Body suddenly asked.
"I just got back and don't know what happened yet. I'll go ask in a bit." Leo immediately became alert. If the news could reach the ears of Undying Body, then it was no small matter.
"It's fine if you look into it. That's all for now. Contact me if anything comes up."
The Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard must have something to attend to, so he quickly hung up the crystal ball. Leo's plan to start an important experiment was also postponed because of the Undying Body's words.
With a light step, they arrived at Charlotte's room inside the academy.
Charlotte, who was busy at work, caught a glimpse of someone in the room and was instantly startled, because he had not sensed any change in aura. In other words, this person had completely concealed their presence. If this person wanted to kill him, he wouldn't even know when he died.
Charlotte tensed up, cautiously looked up, and seeing it was Leo, she instantly relaxed and said with a smile, "Dean, when did you get back?"
"Just got back. How's work lately? Have you run into any difficulties?" Leo asked with a caring smile, as if the perfect leader were inspecting his subordinates' work.
"Although there were a few minor setbacks, everything went relatively smoothly."
"Currently, our academy has trained 212 Official Wizard and has over 70,000 apprentices. Among them, 20,000 are Low-Level Wizard Apprentice have just been transferred from the New Earth, while the rest are already at the intermediate or higher level. Of these, 40,000 are working with the Body Refinement Wizard of the Undying Body Academy to develop the resources of the former Black Skull territory, which can produce about 100,000 energy crystals annually, of which our academy receives 40,000 each year."
"As for the lord's army of Gulu Beast slaves, it has exceeded two million, and the total population of towns within our territory has exceeded five hundred thousand, forming a small-scale urbanization. We can now select Wizard Apprentice from among them for training."
Charlotte then took out a large amount of data and placed it in front of Leo, indicating that these were data on the changes in the academy's development over the past twenty years.
I trust you to handle things; you can make the decision.
Leo glanced at the materials briefly, then smiled and put them back.
"By the way, I collected a lot of materials on this expedition, which I'll sell to your Green Cottage as repayment of your loan from the academy."
Leo took out a magic ring and placed it in front of Charlotte. Inside were materials collected by Yaoyao's three thousand shadows during the expedition.
It has to be said that this ability is really amazing. Leo himself didn't collect much, but when he looked over, the materials such as ant fragments and ant eggs collected by the three thousand shadows were piled up into a mountain.
Even if these materials are worthless and fragmented, the sheer quantity makes up for it. Even a mountain of scrap metal represents a vast fortune. Moreover, these are materials from high-level lifeforms; every little bit counts!
Charlotte picked up the wizard's ring and her face instantly darkened. A legendary Legendary Wizard producing such a huge pile of junk? That's just unacceptable!
Considering Leo's status, she still forced a smile and said, "Dean, I will assess the price later and then put it into the academy's accounts. Rest assured, the academy will not suffer any losses, and your hard work will not be in vain."
I trust you to handle things.
Leo looked at Charlotte with a smile, almost patting him on the shoulder to show his trust in him.
"..."
Charlotte looked at Leo, who was staring intently at her, and asked hesitantly, "Is there anything else, Dean?"
"It's alright, you can go ahead with your work."
Leo stepped forward and vanished in an instant. What Charlotte didn't see was that the moment Leo disappeared, the smile on his face vanished, replaced by a cold expression.
Charlotte couldn't possibly be unaware of something that even the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard had heard, yet he didn't say anything—that was a deliberate concealment!
Originally, Leo only suspected that Charlotte had her own ulterior motives, but this incident made him even more convinced of his judgment.
