Leo and Yaoyao found Diana, Goddess of Darkness, in the interlayer between the Main World and the Shadow World, but her corpse’s lingering energy repelled Leo. To exhaust it, Leo and Yaoyao began casting Nuclear Fission Grand Witchcraft.

• Leo searched the forest with his shadows but found no trace of the Goddess of Darkness’s corpse.
• Yaoyao led Leo through the Shadow World and into the interlayer, where they found Diana’s enormous corpse.

• Leo and Yaoyao cast Nuclear Fission Grand Witchcraft, and its energy surged into Leo’s body.

Leo depleted the Goddess of Darkness’s corpse energy with repeated Nuclear Fission Grand Witchcraft, then began dismembering and preserving the body before the gray mist could erode it. He discovered her heart had been shattered and the Crystal Heart was made from fragments of her, leaving him with the corpse and a new theory about the Dark Night Temple’s plans.

• Leo fired an initial Nuclear Fission Grand Witchcraft attack and calculated that three more blasts should exhaust the Goddess of Darkness’s defenses.
• Leo cast the spell three more times, draining the corpse’s energy and scorching its flesh while Yaoyao boasted about their victory.
• Leo followed Yaoyao’s warning and began dismembering the corpse, collecting its blood and sealing the severed parts for preservation.

• Leo placed the Crystal Heart among the fragments, accelerating the heart’s repair enough that he expected it to recover fully in ten years.
• Leo continued cataloguing the corpse’s properties, including skin that concealed auras and refracted light, and bones that resisted powerful lightning.

Leo transformed the Goddess of Darkness’s hide into a wizard robe and began refining her bones into a staff, while borrowing energy crystals to keep both projects running. After disciplining Yaoyao for damaging Benji’s fire spirit flowers, Leo turned to researching how to improve the Gulu Beasts’ essence of life using the Goddess’s remains.

• Leo tested the Goddess of Darkness’s bones, found them impervious to his strongest strike, and began refining them into a staff with a large formation.
• Leo inscribed his blood-infused runes onto the Goddess of Darkness’s hide for five years, then wore the finished robe, which adapted to his changing form.

Leo developed a life-enhancement potion from the Goddess of Darkness’s cells, discovering that the cells were too active for most Gulu Beast organs. After adapting them through generations of cultivation, he successfully strengthened Benji and the other Gulu Beasts, then left the long-term inheritance of the change to their descendants.

• Leo found that the Goddess of Darkness’s cells devoured and transformed Gulu Beast tissue so aggressively that most organs collapsed, while Benji’s isolated organ survived for three days before failing.
• Leo reduced the cells’ activity through successive generations of cultivation, eventually producing an organ that lasted a month with increased energy intensity.
• Leo gave Benji the resulting potion, and Benji grew stronger without rejection before swearing allegiance with his clan.
• Leo realized Benji’s Gulu Beast branch had already inherited a compatibility with the Goddess of Darkness’s cells, then injected the remaining level-one Gulu Beasts and confirmed they had gained the potential to reach level two.
• Leo told Benji to produce offspring so later generations could test whether the enhanced nature would be inherited, and he set aside a protected area in the wizard tower for the clan.

Leo forged the Godslaying Staff from the Goddess of Darkness’s bones, heart, and other materials, then assessed its powerful abilities alongside the Godslaying Wizard Robe. Equipped with the set, he tested the robe’s concealment and discovered his combined defense could withstand attacks up to 2,150 points.

• Leo finished fusing the Goddess of Darkness’s heart with her refined bones and materials to create the Godslaying Staff.
• Leo examined the staff’s abilities, including increased elemental attacks, stronger shadow talents, and stored energy that replenished his mana.
• Leo named his robe the Godslaying Wizard Robe and found that it boosted his elemental attacks and shadow abilities while concealing his figure and aura.
• Leo tested the robe’s concealment outside the wizard tower, and neither the Gulu Beasts nor Benji detected him.
• Leo calculated that the robe and his other defenses gave him 2,150 points of defense.

Alice invited Leo to enter the First-Level Wizard Tournament, and he agreed, seeing a chance to compete rather than merely broaden his horizons. He recruited Yaoyao to help master nuclear fission calculations and planned to use his maximumed attributes and the year before the tournament to improve his abilities.

• Alice contacted Leo and explained that the First-Level Wizard Tournament would take place in a year, offering rewards and protection from death; Leo agreed to enter.
• Leo pulled Yaoyao from the library and challenged him to calculate a fission equation for the material in the shadow's core.
• Yaoyao completed the calculation with thirteen errors, and Leo set a goal for him to calculate without paper at over 97% accuracy within five minutes.
• Leo persuaded Yaoyao to study by promising that winning the tournament would make them both famous, and Yaoyao agreed.
• Leo noted that his mental power, stamina, and strength had all reached 100, 95, and 97 respectively, and considered developing more uses for nuclear fission energy.
• Leo reasoned that the tournament would leave him ample time before the next compulsory expedition, while Yaoyao's calculations could let him use fission in battle without pausing to work them out himself.

Leo entered the first-level championship in a lifeless world governed by the Wizard Will, where only one wizard in a hundred thousand would advance. He concealed himself after teleporting in and eliminated the first contestant who approached him.

• Amanda and Aimei began releasing their auras and marching openly, and Leo continued eliminating the wizards they attracted while wishing for a stronger opponent.

Leo continued eliminating wizards while Yaoyao trained his fission calculations and stored energy, as Amanda and Aimei reluctantly remained his bait. When a large flying wizard artifact carrying more than 150 wizards approached, Leo eagerly prepared to test his strength, and five wizards descended to attack Amanda and Aimei.

• Charlotte identified Leo as an elemental body refinement wizard after his team had lost 61 members, leaving 96 wizards.

Leo entered the championship’s second round and instantly eliminated Lieqi with Nuclear Fission Grand Witchcraft. Lieqi recognized him as a freak, while the remaining wizards continued waiting for their matches.

• Thirty-five wizards advanced, and a giant rat explained that they would fight one-on-one in demiplanes until eliminated or crowned champion.

Leo’s effortless victories and remarkable record made the wizards at the championship see him as a future contender for the top three. Just as he advanced to the sixth round, Alice told him that his teacher Gru had died, and Leo left the competition to go to the academy.

• After Leo advanced to the fifth round in only nine breaths, the wizards learned from Green Cottage intelligence that he had earned a Third-Class Wizard Medal on his first expedition and defeated a 157-member team alone.

• On the journey back, Leo told Yaoyao he suspected the academy had concealed information about Gru's death and vowed to find out what happened.

Leo refused recruitment offers after his elemental body refinement status became known, then examined the stronger second-generation Gulu Beast cubs and considered his growing power and plans to study lightning witchcraft. He buried Wizard Gru beside the tower and left the grave undisturbed.

• Leo rejected the Dawn Daybreak Association vice president's offer and ordered Benji to turn away future recruiters.
• Yaoyao suspected Charlotte and her allies had leaked Leo's information, while Leo ruled out Amanda and Amy.

• Leo decided against dissecting Wizard Gru and buried him in an inconspicuous grave beside the wizard tower.

Leo continued his Gulu Beast bloodline experiments, confirmed that the Goddess of Darkness’s Bloodline Power passed to later generations without weakening, and began strengthening the second generation. With fewer than ten years until his next mandatory expedition, he wondered which world he would be sent to conquer.

• Leo made Yaoyao agree to perform ten nuclear fission calculations each day in exchange for using the crystal ball.
• Leo found that second-generation Gulu Beasts matured more slowly but were far stronger, with eight of the twenty-three reaching the first level.
