Leo arrived at the Undying Body Wizard Academy after being invited by the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, and Dean Roderick showed him the academy while they waited for a response.

• Leo reviewed intelligence on the three academies and accepted the mission after learning that Undying Body Academy had a strong advantage in level-three combatants.

• Roderick told Leo to hide his three medals and present himself as an ordinary Elemental Wizard within the academy.
• Roderick arranged Leo's residence and explained that he would need to teach three classes each week.

He resumed reading while Yaoyao led most of the class away for a practical lesson, and Leo left after finishing his books.

• Tao Mia paid Leo fifty Wizard Coins and asked for help with her attempt to use water spells to accelerate bodily fluid circulation and raise her internal temperature.

• The headmaster announced that the Raging Blood Tide Wizard Academy and the Outstretched Wings Wizard Academy had invaded Undying Body territory and declared all-out war.

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.

• Wizards crowded Leo’s lessons and greeted him constantly, while Yaoyao and Benji grew frustrated with their attempts to get close to 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.

• 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.

• Roderick warned Leo to keep earning money because he would be extremely poor in the future, but refused to explain further and teleported away.

• 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 used Thunder Conversion Great Sorcery and saw Benji fall from the sky, badly wounded by Ren Jialun.
