Leo rescued Tao Mia and Karina, killed the hostile wizard who had abducted six apprentices, and helped return all six safely to the Undying Body Academy. After learning the academy was dangerously short-staffed despite a strong front line, he accepted that his contract meant he would have to defend it as the war intensified.

• Leo freed Tao Mia and Karina, then sent them to rescue four more apprentices while he searched the hostile wizard's remains for his magic ring.

• Leo continued teaching his weekly lessons as the academy grew tense, then began wandering its grounds with four wizard books floating before him and taking notes.

Leo secretly killed hostile wizards sent to infiltrate Undying Body Academy, keeping the academy peaceful while his reputation and classes grew. Outstretched Wings Wizard Academy and Raging Blood Tide Wizard Academy investigated the losses, and a messenger arrived to summon Leo to the front lines.

• Leo used his mental perception and Yaoyao's observations from the Shadow World to detect and kill infiltrators before they reached Undying Body Academy.
• Dean Roderick reviewed Leo's kill records and marveled at how quickly Leo had become powerful after reaching Level Two.
• With Leo guarding the academy in secret, the front lines remained stable and attendance at his classes rose to over a hundred apprentices.

• Luokenda appeared above Undying Body Academy and invited Leo, on behalf of Deputy Dean Ren Jialun, to a gathering at the front lines.

Luokenda visited the Undying Body Academy to confirm that Leo had killed forty-three wizards and voluntarily joined the war, then recorded Leo’s answers for the hostile academies. Leo’s identity as a First-Class Wizard Medal holder was exposed, and the dean warned that the coming battles would be more dangerous.

• Luokenda called out Leo at the Undying Body Academy, prompting the teachers and apprentices to realize Leo might be the legendary wizard he sought.
• Leo displayed his three medals and identified himself to Luokenda, who asked whether Leo had killed forty-three wizards and willingly entered the war; Leo confirmed both.

• Luokenda left after secretly transmitting the conversation to both hostile academies, giving them Leo’s identity and his consent to fight.
• Dean Roderick told Leo to prepare for fiercer battles, while Yaoyao accused the dean of benefiting from Leo drawing enemy fire and demanded a raise.

Ren Jialun planned to use Leo’s reputation and location to draw powerful wizards into challenging him and keep him occupied. At the Undying Body Academy, Leo let thirty-four instructors attack together, then subdued them all with his Gravity Domain and Ice Domain before returning to his courtyard.

• Ren Jialun showed the command post intelligence about Leo, and the gathered wizards marveled at his strength and achievements.
• Ren Jialun urged the others to spread Leo’s intelligence and location so wizards would challenge him and reveal the limits of his power.
• A level two instructor challenged Leo, and Roderick allowed Leo to accept challenges as long as he killed no one.
• Leo invited the academy’s thirty-four remaining level one and higher wizards to attack him together.
• Leo activated his Gravity Domain and Ice Domain, immobilized the attackers, then released them and warned that there would be no next time.

Leo faced intense attention from the wizards at Undying Body Wizard Academy and learned that his reputation had attracted challengers. He accepted a duel with Bi Jianluo and stopped the wandering wizard’s greatsword just before it struck his neck.

• Wizards crowded Leo’s lessons and greeted him constantly, while Yaoyao and Benji grew frustrated with their attempts to get close to him.
• Bi Jianluo arrived at the academy and challenged Leo, explaining that Ren Jialun had told him Leo would accept challenges during the war.
• Leo recognized that he had to face challengers to protect the academy under his contract, and agreed to let Bi Jianluo strike first.
• Bi Jianluo activated his Barbarian Giant Bloodline and swung his greatsword at Leo’s neck.
• Leo activated Gravity Domain and drove Bi Jianluo’s greatsword into the ground beside him.

Leo arranged for Bi Jianluo and his friends to screen the challengers drawn by Ren Jialun’s leak, turning the fights into a paid arena outside Undying Body Academy. The arena opened profitably, while Leo continued capturing covert intruders and encouraged his apprentice to study the Elemental Body Refinement path.

• Leo defeated Bi Jianluo, then asked him to handle challengers and send only the strongest opponents through to Leo.
• Leo and Dean Roderick agreed that the academy would build and maintain an arena in exchange for forty percent of its proceeds, and Bi Jianluo offered to recruit friends as gatekeepers.
• Bi Jianluo began fighting challengers at the academy gates, disrupting Leo’s lesson until Leo dismissed the class; Tao Mia asked about the Elemental Body Refinement path, and Leo advised her to study the library’s books.
• Leo froze a Level Two wizard sneaking into the academy and had Benji take the captive to the dungeon for possible hostage negotiations.
• Half a month later, the arena opened with Bi Jianluo’s four friends, fifty-three challengers, and ten spectators, earning 534 energy crystals on its first day and leaving Leo 210 after the agreed shares.

Leo entered the arena to face Lusuosi, the first challenger to defeat all five guards, and discovered that the Second-Class Wizard Medal holder had prepared abilities that countered Leo’s domains. Lusuosi pressed his attack while Leo evaded, leaving the duel unresolved as the Heatwave Giant demanded that Leo reveal his true strength.

• Leo learned that Lusuosi had defeated Bi Jianluo and cleared all five challenges, then appeared in the arena to face him.
• Leo noticed Lusuosi’s Second-Class Wizard Medal and offered him the chance to recover, but Lusuosi chose to fight immediately.
• Lusuosi transformed into a ten-meter Heatwave Giant, created a hundred-plus illusions, and attacked Leo with his enormous hammer.
• Leo activated Gravity Domain and Ice Domain, destroying the illusions, but Lusuosi’s bloodline weakened both spells and concealed him in white mist.
• Yaoyao warned Leo of Lusuosi’s attack, and Leo used Shadow Walking to evade the hammer strike that shattered half the arena floor.
• Lusuosi lunged at Leo through the mist and taunted him to show his true abilities.

Leo defeated Lusuosi’s Heatwave Giant with Thunder Click Great Witchcraft, overwhelming the arena’s spectators with his strength. Back in his courtyard, he spoke with Alice about her expedition, and she asked how powerful his spell had been.

• Leo dodged the Heatwave Giant’s attacks while Yaoyao answered Alice’s call from the arena.
• After Alice saw the giant and agreed to wait, Leo unleashed lightning and prepared to end the fight.
• Leo erased the giant’s illusory figures with his domains, then struck him with Thunder Click Great Witchcraft and forced him back into Lusuosi’s form.
• The spectators cheered, while Bi Jianluo and the other wizards wondered whether Leo was truly still a level two wizard.
• Leo returned to his courtyard and learned Alice had earned a thousand energy crystals on her expedition.
• Alice asked Leo how much attack power his spell had reached.

Leo spent years at the Undying Body Academy earning a fortune in the arena and longing to return home, while Roderick hinted that Leo would need his wealth in the future. After the three-academy war dragged on for ten years, Puluote cleared all five arena rounds, bringing Leo out to face him as the long-awaited storm seemed to arrive.

• Leo told Alice that his level-two spell had reached 12,616 points of attack power, explained how he had been forced to fight for the Undying Body Academy, and promised to return when the war ended.
• Leo spent the following years recording knowledge, chatting with Alice, and fighting intruders while arena footage boosted the arena's revenue and his savings grew.
• Roderick warned Leo to keep earning money because he would be extremely poor in the future, but refused to explain further and teleported away.
• Two years passed without the storm Leo expected; the war had lasted ten years, the arena had operated for eight, and Leo had accumulated over 150,000 energy crystals.
• Puluote cleared all five arena rounds, and Leo appeared to face him after five years away from the arena.
• Leo recognized Puluote as a wizard from one of the rival academies, and Puluote thanked him for showing mercy during the war.

Leo discovered that Ren Jialun was leading the attack on Undying Body Academy while Roderick was absent, leaving Benji to face the Level Three wizard. Leo unleashed his Thunderstorm Giant form to defeat the ambushers, then saw Benji falling wounded from the sky.

• Leo and Yaoyao suspected Vice Dean Ren Jialun was behind the sneak attack, while Puluote activated a teleportation array to bring reinforcements into the arena.
• Ren Jialun emerged from the array and headed for Undying Body Academy, where Benji appeared to confront him.
• Puluote’s wizards and slaves surrounded Leo to keep him from intervening, so Leo transformed into his Thunderstorm Giant form and ordered Yaoyao to attack.
• Leo’s Gravity and Ice Domains devastated the slaves, and his Thunder Annihilation Great Sorcery paralyzed the eight Level Two wizards before he battered them away with his staff.
• Leo used Thunder Conversion Great Sorcery and saw Benji fall from the sky, badly wounded by Ren Jialun.

Ren Jialun attacked the Undying Body Academy, and Leo stood between him and the academy despite the vast gap between their levels. Leo survived Ren Jialun’s first blows and wounded him, but Ren Jialun turned his attention toward the academy’s panicking apprentices and low-level wizards.

• The Thunderstorm Giant stopped Ren Jialun from continuing to attack Benji, and Yaoyao stabilized Benji with a potion.
• Ren Jialun activated his Barren Hill Giant bloodline and challenged the Thunderstorm Giant, while onlookers feared Leo could not withstand a Level Three wizard.
• Ren Jialun struck first, but the Thunderstorm Giant defended the academy and stopped the punch after being sent flying.
• Ren Jialun attacked with a sweeping kick, and Leo activated his Gravity Domain and Ice Domain before countering with Thunder Plow Sweep.
• The Barren Hill Giant kicked the Thunderstorm Giant hundreds of meters away, but the Godslaying Staff pierced Ren Jialun’s leg and left a small wound.
• Ren Jialun ignored the Thunderstorm Giant and looked down at the Undying Body Academy’s frightened apprentices and low-level wizards.

Leo, as the Thunderstorm Giant, blocked Ren Jialun’s devastating strike with Nuclear Fission Grand Witchcraft, astonishing the wizards watching and proving that a Level Two wizard could unleash power above 15,000 points. He resumed facing Ren Jialun while assessing his remaining mana and defenses, and the clash remained unresolved.

• Ren Jialun brought a giant sword down toward the Undying Body Academy, but Leo’s Thunderstorm Giant form intercepted the attack.
• Yaoyao encouraged her teacher from hiding, and Leo fired Nuclear Fission Grand Witchcraft to clash with Ren Jialun’s sword energy.
• Leo’s energy pillar weakened the sword attack, and four lightning spells finished dispersing it; the watching wizards were awed by his power.
• Ren Jialun praised Leo’s attack and invited him to the Outstretched Wings Academy, while Leo used the pause to calculate another nuclear fission.
• Leo flew back to block Ren Jialun and assessed his mana, injuries, the suppression from his domains, and the defenses protecting him.

Leo endured Ren Jialun’s assault until Dean Roderick stopped the fight, then recovered from severe injuries while the Undying Body Academy won the three-academy war. After the war, Leo asked to meet the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard so he could return home, and learned why slave armies had not fought in the conflict.

• Leo used his defenses and healing to withstand Ren Jialun’s relentless attacks, but was badly injured and nearly out of mana.
• Roderick arrived and stopped Ren Jialun, declaring that the two opposing academies had lost; Ren Jialun then left to check on his injured wizards.
• Leo returned to his courtyard to recover, and after three months he had regained only about 60% of his strength while Benji faced a much longer recovery.
• Roderick explained that he had used Ren Jialun’s absence to attack and breach the Outstretched Wings Academy, securing victory in the three-academy war.
• Leo asked Roderick to take him to the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, and they traveled to the barren demiplane.
• Leo learned that the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard had forbidden slave armies from fighting his academy because he had no slaves.

Leo received the Stone of Indestructibility’s secrets and learned that its powerful defensive system demanded immense energy, leaving even its level-six master with less than half the system completed. Choosing not to fuse with it, Leo departed the Undying Body Academy and sent Tao Mia a parting gift.

• The Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard gave Leo a crystal ball containing knowledge about the Stone of Indestructibility.
• Leo learned that the Stone could strengthen its host’s defenses by consuming energy, and that the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard had completed less than fifty percent of its defensive system.
• Roderick warned Leo that few wizards had fused with the Stone and reminded him to keep its knowledge secret.
• Leo decided to think carefully before using the Stone, then said goodbye to the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard.
• Leo gave Roderick a wizardry ring for Tao Mia and left the Undying Body Academy, expecting seven or eight years of travel before reaching his wizard tower.

Leo returned from the Sword of Winter after fleeing a crowd of admirers, then reported a Jerry Clan slave who had schemed against him and reunited with Alice at his wizard tower. The chapter left Leo home with Alice, Yaoyao, Benji, and a rapidly growing Gulu Beast population.

• Leo arrived at the Sword of Winter and fled through Shadow Space after a crowd of wizards swarmed him and chased him.
• Leo and Benji evaded the wizards; after ten years of travel, Leo returned to the Tower of Elements and collected 9,120 energy crystals in subsidies.
• Leo confronted the Jerry Clan slave who had mocked him, threatened to report his scheme, and watched another slave order the culprit thrown into the cat den.
• Leo returned to his wizard tower and reunited with Alice, while Yaoyao greeted her and the Gulu Beasts welcomed them home.
• Leo noted that the Gulu Beasts had grown from 110 adults to over five thousand, with more than four thousand at Level One or above.

After returning home, Leo settled into a comfortable routine with Alice before turning his attention to the Stone of Indestructibility. He began a preliminary fusion experiment, and the mutated blood cells started consuming one another as they evolved.

• Leo returned to find Alice had made his wizard tower luxurious, but she left for the Ice Palace after dinner and dashed his hopes of spending the night together.
• The next day, Leo brought Alice body-tempering materials and stayed with her at the Ice Palace for a month before she sent him back to his work.
• While transcribing his stored knowledge, Leo secretly considered combining the Stone of Indestructibility with the energy from nuclear fission to strengthen his defenses.
• Leo prepared a blood sample with ground Stone of Indestructibility and a neutralizing agent, following the experimental records supplied by the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard.
• Under the microscope, the fused blood cells hardened and consumed energy, then began devouring one another until fewer than a hundred remained and Leo intervened.

Leo fused the Stone of Indestructibility into his body, gaining a much heavier and more durable physique while losing the rune arrays inscribed on his skin. The transformation left him in a ravenous, mindless state, and Yaoyao cleared the kitchen before Leo could attack anyone.

• Leo postponed breaking down the Stone of Indestructibility to see Alice off to the First-Level Wizard Tournament, and she left after promising to return with a good ranking.
• Leo ground down part of the Stone of Indestructibility and fused it into his body using a neutralizer, cloudy liquid, and a mud bath.
• Leo endured intense itching as his cells changed, then discovered that his body weighed about ten times more and all his inscribed rune arrays had vanished.
• Overcome by extreme hunger, Leo ran naked into the kitchen and devoured dozens of tons of food, while Benji and the Gulu Beasts fled on Yaoyao's orders.
• Leo's eyes lost some of their green glow after the food was gone, but he remained mindless and began biting kitchen utensils, including an iron pot.

After fusing with the Stone of Indestructibility, Leo lost his reason to overwhelming hunger and consumed food and energy crystals until Yaoyao helped him regain control. Leo then used nuclear fission to feed his body for ten days, raising his defense by 200 points and discovering that his body could absorb a small amount of elemental attacks.

• Yaoyao fed Leo energy crystals until the green light in his eyes faded and he regained his reason.
• Leo remembered his mindless rampage, dressed, and found that he had consumed all but 30,000 of his more than 160,000 energy crystals.
• Leo transformed into a Thunderstorm Giant and used nuclear fission to supply his starving cells with energy for ten days.
• Leo measured his new defense at 200 points, increasing his total defense from 2,400 to 2,600.
• Leo discovered that his Stone of Indestructibility-enhanced body absorbed a tiny amount of lightning energy when struck by his own sorcery.

Leo absorbed nuclear radiation and discovered that it caused a controllable mutation while slightly strengthening his body. He learned his energy absorption rate was only 0.02%, then became addicted to eating energy crystals as Yaoyao secretly hid the treasures in Shadow Space.

• Leo released the nuclear radiation stored in the Heart of the Mountain Range and swallowed it, allowing his cells to absorb it.
• Leo discovered that he could make a tiny fleshy bud emerge from and retract into his finger, and he suspected the Stone of Indestructibility had interacted with the radiation.
• Leo examined his cells and calculated that the Stone of Indestructibility occupied 0.02% of each cell, matching his current energy absorption rate.
• Leo began compulsively eating energy crystals, and Yaoyao warned him that he had already consumed a thousand.
• Yaoyao secretly removed the remaining treasures from Shadow Space while Leo continued eating, and Benji heard Leo scream from the wizard tower.

Yaoyao stopped Benji and the other Gulu Beasts from giving Leo energy crystals while Leo’s hunger drove him to consume valuable laboratory equipment. Yaoyao helped Leo perform nuclear fission until his hunger eased, and the chapter ended with Leo lamenting his losses as the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard recalled his own past hunger.

• Yaoyao persuaded Benji to hand over his wizard ring so he could not lend Leo the energy crystals Leo was expected to request.
• Benji confirmed that Leo had asked to borrow money, while Yaoyao warned the Gulu Beasts to stay away from him and went to check on him.
• Yaoyao discovered that Leo had eaten the magic array activator and other laboratory equipment, then helped him replenish his energy through nuclear fission.
• After seven days, Yaoyao stopped calculating, while Leo said his defense had increased by 500 points over the month and his hunger had weakened.
• Leo found Shadow Space empty and saw that the laboratory equipment was missing, while the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard remembered his own disastrous hunger after fusing with the Stone of Indestructibility.

Leo investigated the Stone of Indestructibility’s growth in his own cells and in Gulu Beast cells, discovering that each lifeform had an enhancement limit tied to its level and strength. He realized his hunger would stop only when his own cells reached their 0.7% limit, leaving him with an immense energy requirement and a goal that would greatly increase his defense.

• Leo found that Benji and the Gulu Beasts feared him because Yaoyao had warned them he might eat them after a failed experiment, and he returned to his tower to avoid frightening them.
• Leo cultured ten of his cells and found that the Stone of Indestructibility grew from 0.05% to 0.7% before the cells stopped absorbing energy.
• Leo tested cells from a level-one Gulu Beast, a level-two Gulu Beast, and Benji, finding their Stone of Indestructibility limits were 0.07%, 0.25%, and 1.1%, respectively.
• Leo concluded that the Stone’s limit depended on a lifeform’s level and strength, and that reaching his own 0.7% limit would end his hunger.
• Leo estimated that reaching 0.7% would require an astronomical amount of energy but would raise his defense beyond ten thousand points.

Leo used an enormous Energy Absorption Magic Array and nuclear fission to feed energy into his body and complete a 0.7% increase in strength. After more than a month, the array stopped when Benji was the last Gulu Beast able to sustain it, and Leo finally showed a faint sign of being full.

• Leo ordered Benji to gather the rank-one-and-above Gulu Beasts and made Yaoyao help him prepare for nuclear fission.
• Leo inscribed a giant Energy Absorption Magic Array with 1,037 nodes, and the Gulu Beasts amplified its output to draw energy from the surrounding region into him.
• Leo and Yaoyao began nuclear fission as Leo absorbed the incoming energy, while Benji watched the elemental tornado grow above the array.
• Over the following weeks, Gulu Beasts fainted in successive shifts as the array drained energy from across hundreds of kilometers; Benji eventually joined the remaining rank-two beasts to keep it running.
• After more than a month, Yaoyao and the Gulu Beasts could no longer continue, and the array stopped with Benji alone inside it.
• Benji sensed that Leo might finally be full, and Leo opened eyes flashing with blue lightning to meet his gaze.

Leo completed his Level Two defensive evolution after forty-five days of energy replenishment, then spent a year copying books before welcoming Alice after she passed the first elimination round. When Leo called Alice his girlfriend and she did not object, their relationship became official, but Alice insisted on continuing the competition to make up for Leo’s earlier withdrawal.

• Leo recovered his belongings, confirmed that his reinforced flesh had stopped absorbing energy, and completed his 7,000-point defensive evolution, bringing his defense to 11,400 points.
• Leo returned to copying books and studying, until Yaoyao told him a year later that Alice was about to finish the championship’s first elimination round.
• Leo waited with Yaoyao and Benji at the administrative office and welcomed Alice when she emerged after passing the round.
• Leo called Alice his girlfriend in front of the gathered wizards, and Alice blushed but did not object.
• Leo offered to let Alice skip the advancement rounds, but Alice said she wanted to go further to make up for his regret at withdrawing from the competition.

Alice competed in the first advancement round but was eliminated, and Leo helped her avoid discussing the loss before she withdrew to her room. Leo then privately asked Charlotte to identify Alice’s opponent and obtain scientific books and a hydrogen bomb manufacturing process.

• Leo promised to accompany Alice to the competition, and she entered the demiplane match before fully recovering her strength.
• Alice returned quickly and told Leo and Yaoyao that she had lost, then left for home without explaining the match.
• Leo invented a celebration for a Gulu Beast’s birth to spare Alice embarrassment, and she went into seclusion at the Ice Palace.
• Leo contacted Charlotte to ask who had faced Alice and requested hydrogen bombs, their manufacturing process, and a list of scientific books.
• Charlotte refused to provide the restricted hydrogen bomb process but agreed to obtain the books he could access.

Thirty years after the tenth-generation Gulu Beasts were born, Leo prepared for his first expedition since becoming a Level Two Wizard, while Alice chose not to accompany him. The Earth Pulse Stigmata Wizard led the expedition against a miniature Homo Sapiens World, and Leo departed after promising to return to Alice.

• A tenth-generation Gulu Beast was born with stronger life essence, giving Leo hope that the long-running breeding experiment would succeed.
• Alice told Leo that Jeft World's Gulu Beast population had exceeded three million, and Leo offered his accumulated dividends to support them.
• Leo finished copying the books and prepared for an expedition, but Alice refused to go with him so she could pursue her own path.
• Leo promised Alice he would return within twenty-five years and ask the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard for permission to marry her.
• The Earth Pulse Stigmata Wizard announced a conquest expedition against the miniature Homo Sapiens World, and Leo left aboard the starship mothership as Alice watched.
