Pisi Li interrupted their question directly, saying quickly, "No, I only glanced at him from afar and knew I was no match for him. I ran with him in the Dark Land for two hours, trying to eliminate him based on the rules, but at the last moment he abandoned me and returned to the competition area."
"You didn't even try?"
"Heh, you come on, I dare say, if any of us were to meet this Legendary Great Wizard head-on, I'd be impressed if we could last a minute." Pisi Li scoffed when his companion asked him why he hadn't tried.
"Is he really that powerful? Wasn't it just a coincidence that he defeated that Stigmata Wizard and the World Lord?" someone questioned.
"Heh, how come only he could coincidentally kill the World Lord, but others couldn't have a similar coincidence?" Pisi Li retorted.
"So what do you mean now?"
"My meaning is simple: we must concentrate all our forces to eliminate this Legendary Great Wizard first, otherwise we have no hope at all. While I still have his location pinpointed, let's gather all our manpower and launch an ambush. I refuse to believe that so many of our top-tier Level Three Great Wizard can't defeat him alone," Pisi Li said with utmost calmness.
"You have a point. The gladiatorial combat has already eliminated half of the participants. We should find a place to regroup. Not only this Legendary Great Wizard, but also that dragon, and several other opponents we need to be wary of—we have no confidence in any of them."
"No problem."
"Can,"
Pisi Li's suggestion was agreed upon by everyone inside the crystal ball; judging from the voices, there were actually more than a dozen people.
"Alright, I'll calculate his location, and we'll go ambush him beforehand. If you know anyone, you can bring them along. The more people we have, the greater our chances of winning. At worst, after we achieve final victory, we can share some of the spoils from that world."
"Don't worry, there won't be any problem."
"We guarantee on-time arrival."
Once Pisi Li sent out the meeting location, he vanished without a trace.
Although wizards are powerful and many fight alone, most of them have fixed teams.
Combining them allows them to maximize their power, achieve the highest mission completion rate, and have a survival rate in various dangerous expeditions that other wizards can only dream of!
Even someone as powerful as Leo now had to team up with other wizards to do missions when he was Level One Lesser Wizard.
Leo was unaware of everything that was happening here; he never expected that a team of wizards could be formed under these circumstances.
He was still searching for other opponents at his own pace.
From this moment on, the competition has entered its second ten-day period. He needs to eliminate another opponent to avoid being eliminated after ten days due to not having eliminated an opponent.
However, Leo's luck seemed to be bad this time. He walked for Heavenly Capital without finding a single opponent. Although the competition area had been reduced by 50%, there were more people who had been eliminated in the previous competitions, so Leo didn't encounter any of them.
Yaoyao three thousand shadows did find some valuable things, but seeing the darkness beginning to move, Leo became a little anxious.
He had no idea where these people had hidden. He had searched thousands of kilometers over five days, but couldn't find a single one!
"Wow, I can't believe I've encountered such a life form."
While he was racking his brains for an opponent, Yaoyao's gaze quickly shifted from a certain spot, and she whispered to Leo in surprise.
Leo's anxious expression had calmed down. His gaze swept over the spot where Yaoyao had been looking, and he smiled at Yaoyao, "I never expected such a coincidence."
The moment he finished speaking to Yaoyao, Leo reached out and grabbed forward, and half of his arm disappeared into the shadows.
His arm trembled rapidly, as if he were grabbing something from the shadows.
Leo abruptly pulled his arm back and saw a dark, thin, humanoid creature gripping his palm, stabbing at Leo Xi's hand with a sharp dagger.
His sharp dagger was specially made; it didn't reflect any sunlight, as if all the light had been absorbed by the dagger.
The dark-skinned, thin figure captured by Leo seemed to have his face shrouded in a black veil, obscuring his features.
Its entire body exudes a power of shadow; it is a life form active in the shadows, a true shadow walker that has been passed down through various dimensional worlds.
Ghosts in the darkness, shadows of death, silent assassins—these are all adjectives used to describe them!
The dagger in the shadow walker's hand had already left afterimages as it pierced through, but the sharp tip of the blade did not even leave a white mark on Leo's palm.
If it weren't for the fact that the skin was still dented and there were no sparks, anyone who saw it would think it was an arm made of metal.
Leo smiled as he looked at the relentlessly attacking Shadow Walker. The Indestructible Body's defense was 32,000 points, while the Shadow Walker's attack power was 31,000 points, which was not enough to break through the Indestructible Body's defense. Therefore, no matter how the Shadow Walker stabbed Leo, it would not cause any damage.
Leo noticed the Shadow Walker in the shadows when he was in the center of the arena before the match even started. After all, they were both creatures who used shadow-side powers, so Leo couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.
I thought we'd only meet once, but I never expected to run into each other here today.
Yaoyao was the one who discovered his presence first. As a creature that lives directly in the Shadow World, Yaoyao is practically the nemesis of any creature that lives in the shadows.
Their methods of concealment seemed incredibly mysterious to others, but in Yaoyao's eyes, their movements were as clear as shadows in the sunlight.
Yaoyao's understanding of Shadow Power is at the very top of the pyramid. So far, whether it's the books Leo has consulted or the creatures he has encountered that use Shadow Power, none of them can reach Yaoyao's level in terms of shadow abilities.
"Hey, little guy, do you recognize me?"
Seeing the Shadow Walker still attacking Leo, Yaoyao shouted directly at him.
Upon hearing Yaoyao's voice, the small, Shadow Walking stopped what he was doing and looked at Yaoyao in disbelief.
"#@...￥#&#"
A series of words that Leo couldn't understand at all came from the Shadow Walking's mouth. This was not a language system recorded in the Wizard World, and he did not use his mental power, so Leo couldn't understand it.
Yaoyao nodded after hearing this, then chuckled at Leo and said, "Let go, he has already submitted to my domineering aura."
"..."
Leo glared at Jiao Yaoyao slightly, but still released his grip on the Shadow Walker's hand.
This kind of life form, living in an extremely special world, possesses incomprehensible laws and is far more powerful than Leo can only Shadow Walking.
If Yaoyao hadn't completely restrained him, Shadow Walker would definitely have been one of the last survivors, even if he hadn't won first place.
"#...#...#"
The Shadow Walker spoke to Yaoyao again.
Yaoyao didn't speak, only nodding or shaking her head. This way of communicating left Leo completely bewildered, having no idea what they were talking about.
Finally, the Shadow Walker handed the dagger to Yaoyao and then vanished instantly. This wasn't about hiding or avoiding danger; it was about choosing to eliminate himself from the competition.
Yaoyao disappeared with the dagger in his hand. When he reappeared, the dagger was gone; he had hidden it in his secret stash.
He explained to Leo his conversation with the Shadow Walker: "He was surprised to see me and wanted to invite me to his world, saying I was their messenger of God. I said no, I still have to help my Leo fulfill his dream. A person of such high moral character as me must fulfill my promise with my life."
"Then he handed me his dagger and told me that I must visit his world someday, and that his world would welcome me with the most solemn ceremony."
"How much embellishment did you add to those words?" Leo asked curiously, looking at Yaoyao who had picked up the cup.
"Hehe, that's about right, anyway, that's roughly the idea." Yaoyao Yao chuckled.
"That's great, you've secured your spot in the ten-day elimination round. Head over to the new competition area now," Yaoyao urged.
"Don't you feel the atmosphere around you is a bit heavy?"
"I think we're surrounded by several wizards. Only by eliminating them can we make it to the new competition area."
Leo slightly moved the Godslaying Staff towards the ground, and the earth churned up as if a dragon were turning over. The powerful energy fluctuations caused a tremor that shook out several hidden figures.
"One, two, three, four, five, five wizards are ganging up on you!" Yaoyao pointed her little paw at the wizards who had been jolted out.
"Not just that, I sensed twenty."
After finishing speaking with Yaoyao, Leo coldly snorted at those around him, "Come out, all of you. Since you dare to surround me, don't hide."
"As expected of Legendary Great Wizard, he was able to accurately determine our number."
One by one, figures emerged from space, underground, trees, and rivers. Together with the five that had just been shaken out, there were exactly twenty of them, surrounding him in the middle.
Upon seeing the speaker, Leo suddenly realized that this was the Level Three Elemental Great Wizard he had been chasing for two hours without success!
They've brought people back to cause trouble!
The Level Three Elemental Great Wizard bowed slightly and said, "Let me introduce myself, Pisi Li, Level-Three Elemental Wizard."
Then, one by one, the people surrounding Leo introduced themselves:
" Level-Three Elemental Wizard Yaheng,"
" Level Three Body Refinement Wizard, Gael,"
" Level Three Body Refinement Wizard, Biste,"
"The Lava Giant Andrew,"
"Yaron Anchiro,"
"Orc brother Alva, Alvin,"
"Greetings, Master Leo!"
Leo's eyes turned cold. Of these twenty opponents, sixteen were Level Three Great Wizard, including eight Level Three Body Refinement Wizard and eight Level-Three Elemental Wizard.
The remaining five are level three powerhouses from different worlds: a wyvern, a lava giant, and a pair of orc brothers.
"It must have been really kind of you to find so many people. Since you've come to me of your own accord, I'll gladly accept your invitation."
A series of loud bangs erupted from Leo's body, like a ferocious beast awakening from its slumber, opening its hungry eyes!
