Strength 65, Stamina 70, Spirit 50.
After the promotion, his strength and stamina have both exceeded the apprentice limit of 50 points. The limit for strength and stamina of Level One Body Refinement Wizard is 100 points.
"A normal Body Refinement Wizard will reach their limit within five years of successfully advancing, but I have nuclear radiation, and according to experimental estimates, I should reach my limit in the third year."
As for the 50 points of mental strength, most Body Refinement Wizard wouldn't pay attention to it. After all, they mainly cultivate the body, not the elemental side, so cultivating mental strength would be a complete waste of time. Some Body Refinement Wizard even use secret techniques to permanently sacrifice their mental strength in order to gain a 110% bonus to strength and stamina.
Leo wouldn't do that, because his goal was never to Body Refinement Wizard; he wanted to become Elemental Body Refinement Wizard!
Now that the body refinement has broken through to level one, the main task next is to break through to level one on the elemental side as well. Once the two are combined according to the established path, the attack power will instantly exceed 120%.
Leo was already incredibly excited just thinking about it. His Shadow Talent talent had already maxed out his survival skills, and if his mental strength also broke through to the next level...
When he officially became Elemental Body Refinement Wizard, he hardly dared to imagine it.
An Elemental Body Refinement Wizard with overwhelming offensive power, and also an unkillable tough guy—who wouldn't have a headache if they encountered him?
After the promotion, everything needs to be rearranged: the evolved Shadow Talent, shadow modification, further experiments with nuclear radiation, passive stimulation of the physical body for evolution, development of witchcraft, elemental advancement, and increased attack power...
Leo thought that it would take at least ten years to figure it out.
For a First-Level Wizard, it is perfectly normal to spend the first fifty years steadily adapting to their current strength.
Fifty years is only one-twentieth of a first-level lifespan!
First-Level Wizard's normal lifespan is one thousand years!
But while other wizards had time, Leo did not. Leo knew all too well how urgent that Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard was!
Upon thinking of the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard, Leo immediately thought of something.
"I've been so busy, I completely forgot about you."
Leo slapped his forehead in frustration, closed his eyes slightly, and instantly his consciousness entered his sea of consciousness. This was an ability that he only gained after advancing one level, allowing him to penetrate inwards and enter the sea of consciousness, or rather, the depths of his soul.
Leo's figure appeared instantly.
It was a calm, shimmering sea, but devoid of any sign of life.
Leo looked around, as if he had seen something, and with a swift movement, he appeared in another place.
On the sea, a life bound by countless golden chains hangs suspended in mid-air.
Its dark, semi-illusory body, three tails, pointed snout, and fangs closely resemble a three-tailed fox.
" Benji, so this is what you look like?" Leo greeted him with a smile.
This was the first time Leo had seen him since he was parasitized by Benji.
"What, is my appearance an eyesore to you? Do you want me to apologize?"
Benji retorted angrily, but the slightest movement caused the chains binding him to tighten, making Benji furry little face twitch in pain.
Leo recognized these chains; they were the Energy Sealing Technique that had been placed on him, specifically to deal with Benji.
When Leo first confronted Benji, Benji was so terrified that he tried to self-destruct, but was instead controlled by Energy Sealing Technique.
Leo calculated that it was forty years ago, which means that Benji has been hanging here for forty years!
No wonder he has such a bad temper!
Anyone in that situation would be in a bad mood.
These chains conjured by Energy Sealing Technique didn't simply bind him here; they bound him directly to his consciousness, as if someone were constantly squeezing his soul. The feeling was...
"Relax, I've already advanced a level, the plan is definitely about to begin, have you thought it through?" Leo asked with a smile.
Benji remained silent. Forty years had passed, yet Benji still hesitated.
"By the way, I wasn't talking about your consciousness clone, but whether your main body has made a decision?" Leo narrowed his eyes, the cold light peeking out from between his slits like a blade slicing open a door at midnight.
Benji didn't speak, and even closed his eyes, but his trembling body betrayed him; he was in deep turmoil.
"Think about it. I think that person will summon me soon. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer when we meet next time."
Leo reached out and touched Benji's head. He couldn't help but reach back and stroke the entire back of Benji's head, finding it quite pleasant to the touch.
Leo noticed a change in himself after his advancement; he seemed to have become more bloodthirsty, though he wondered if it was due to the evolution of his Bloodline.
The exact reason cannot be found at present, but Leo is certain of one thing: he has changed!
When Leo opened her eyes in the room, she heard Gru's voice outside, " Leo, come out now that you're stable, the Dean is here."
Leo opened the door. Gru and Alexander were standing in the courtyard. Leo sensed something and looked up at the sky above the courtyard. He could see a bright red glow against the clear sky above the courtyard. Two hundred level one and Level Two Fire Elemental Spirit were protecting the courtyard, or more specifically, protecting him.
If he were still an apprentice Leo would never have been able to detect them, but after his advancement, Leo was able to see these Fire Elemental Spirit in the semi-illusory space.
"Greetings, Alexander."
I had met the dean twice before when I was an apprentice, but my strength was too low. I didn't know Alexander's strength, and I couldn't even see what she looked like.
But after the promotion, just standing in front of Alexander, Leo felt an overwhelming aura rushing towards him, as if it would crush him into dust. As expected of Level Three Great Wizard, Leo almost forced himself to calm down and not tremble.
The distance between an apprentice and a level three is like a chasm; the apprentice's power is invisible and imperceptible. They only know that the apprentice is very strong, but they have no idea just how strong.
The gap between level one and level three is still enormous, but the difference is already visible, which is worse than not seeing it at all.
Leo felt a chill run down his spine whenever he saw Alexander's gaze, and he had an urge to turn and run away. It was as if standing next to Alexander was like standing at the feet of a giant, where he could be trampled to death at any moment.
Faces that were previously invisible can now be seen.
I thought he was a kind old man, but his head was covered with centipede-like stitched wounds, as if someone had cut his head into seven or eight pieces and then stitched it back together—a Frankenstein-like monster.
With a slight twitch of his face, the stitched wounds came to life like seven or eight centipedes, grotesque and terrifying!
"Although your promotion was rushed, it's enough for you to meet the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard. Come with me now." Dean Alexander glanced at Leo, as if she could see right through Leo.
"Yes, Dean."
Leo dared not resist and followed Alexander to the very center of the academy, where the tallest tower was located, a place Leo had never been before.
Alexander took Leo directly to the top floor of the tower, where there was nothing but a huge teleportation array.
"The place where the Stigmata Wizard resides is not in the Wizard World; it's outside of that world. We need to use a teleportation array to get there."
This was the first time Leo had ever seen such a large teleportation array. It was completely different from the one-time teleportation array that Alice had released before. It was hundreds of times more complex, with countless magical runes intersecting. Leo's eyes lit up. The runes he saw alone were enough for him to study for hundreds of years.
Alexander activated the teleportation array, distorting the power of space. The world before her eyes changed rapidly, and then everything went black; she had disappeared from the Purple Flame Academy.
When Leo opened his eyes again, he found himself in a strange world. The air was thin, but the fire element was extremely concentrated. He could hardly sense any other elemental energy; it was all fire.
The earth was dry and scorching hot, with little vegetation to be seen, and even the sky was a fiery red. After Leo advanced to the next level, he could move around normally without needing much oxygen, and even his resistance had increased significantly.
Otherwise, the normal temperature of over 200 degrees Celsius here would definitely be unbearable for Leo; heat and fire seem to be the only dominant elements in this world.
Alexander walked ahead, and Leo followed behind. Although the Gravity was similar to that in the Wizard World, Leo always had a very awkward feeling, an involuntary feeling, like cooking without salt or spring without the scent of fresh grass.
"This is a small world, or rather, a fragment of a world. Although it has been modified, its rules are still incomplete, so it's normal for you to feel uncomfortable."
Alexander knew Leo's feelings without even looking back. All First-Level Wizard who came here for the first time felt this way, just like he did when he first arrived.
Before he had gone far, Leo saw groups of Fire Elemental Spirit flying in the air. There were countless of them, some at the apprentice level, some at level one, a few at level two, and even some at level three.
Leo instantly recalled that during the competition, he had secretly peeked into the world on the other side of the spatial rift opened by Alice.
This is the place that was on the other side back then.
No wonder there are so many Fire Elemental Spirit!
Soon the two arrived at a palace. It's hard to say how magnificent the palace was; it was simply a palace hollowed out from a giant volcano. Leo could clearly see the churning lava beneath his feet, and the temperature was far more intense than outside.
The enormous hall contained only a single chair large enough for a 100-meter-tall giant to sit comfortably.
"Great Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard, in accordance with your command, I have brought Leo here," Alexander said respectfully, bowing her head.
Leo didn't see anyone, but he followed Alexander's example and bowed, not daring to look around.
From the moment he was teleported here, he had a feeling that he was being watched, that Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard was keeping an eye on him at all times!
