Levi——————

Red Emperor Dragon Breathing Method: Level 13 (1/500000), Special Effect: Fire Dragon True Body (Level 1).

…

"After this great fusion, is there only one special effect?"

Levi looked at the empty panel, and was a little uncomfortable for a while.

[Fire Dragon True Body: Red Emperor Dragon, the Flame Dragon of Destruction, the Incarnation of Power. You have initially awakened the Fire Dragon True Body of the Red Emperor Dragon in its infancy.

The normalized Fire Dragon True Body gives you an extraordinary talent for fire affinity, unparalleled power, extremely strong resistance to fire element spells, and a dragon flame attack that burns everything.

Burning the blood of the Red Emperor, depending on the degree of burning, you will open a special form of the Fire Dragon True Body, which can currently be divided into two special forms: [Giant Dragon Warrior] and [Angry Dragon Venerable].

Burn 30% of the blood of the Red Emperor, consume a huge amount of energy, and you can enter the [Giant Dragon Warrior] form. After entering this form, your body will burn and expand rapidly, and you will gain the ultimate power bonus. With one punch, you can carry mountains and cross seas! But it will reduce other attributes such as speed.

Burn 50% of the blood of the Red Emperor, ignite the anger in your heart, and you can enter the [Angry Dragon Venerable] form. After entering this form, your all-round attributes will be greatly improved. The higher the anger value, the stronger the attribute increase of the Angry Dragon Venerable. At the same time, your sanity value will continue to decrease with the increase of anger. Please use this form with caution and restore normality before completely losing your sanity, or use corresponding skills and potions to reconcile it.

The Fire Dragon True Body is only the first stage of the Red Emperor Dragon Road. As the purity of the Red Emperor Dragon Blood increases, a more powerful true body form will be unlocked.

The Fire Dragon True Body has strong inclusiveness. You can increase the special form of the Fire Dragon True Body through fusion. 】

Levi looked at the special effects introduction of the Fire Dragon's true body, and felt that the proficiency panel seemed to be more and more humanized, and even gave himself some small suggestions.

"In general, the various special effects of the breathing methods of the four major power systems before were all dominated by the Red Lotus Breathing Method, forming a new unified special effect.

The fire attribute of the Red Lotus completely suppressed the breathing methods of other earth attributes and frost attributes, causing many useless special effects and legendary organs to disappear and degenerate. Instead, it was a thorough Fire Dragon's true body.

The most regrettable thing is that my [Frost Heart] special effect is gone. Are ice and fire incompatible?

Forget it, it's gone, it's just that the practice of frost spells is a little slower. I have so many affinities, it's not a big problem.

Besides, I can get the frost element talent through other methods later.

It is estimated that the Red Emperor Dragon is the ultimate fire and power, and cannot be compatible with other attributes."

The revised Red Emperor Dragon Breathing Method is plain and simple.

A simple "Fire Dragon True Body" can include most of the previous special effects.

And the two special effects that are very important to Levi, [Whale Swallowing the Sea] and [Vajra's Wrath], have become two special forms of the Fire Dragon True Body.

"Giant Dragon Warrior, give up some other attributes and pursue the ultimate power."

"Angry Dragon Venerable, consume some sanity points and burn anger points to improve physical fitness in all aspects."

"Basically, using one of these two special effects can solve the enemy."

And Levi's previous [Red Lotus Blood], which had a large side effect, was integrated into the normalized Fire Dragon True Body, and the side effects were gone. The normalized Fire Dragon True Body has doubled its strength compared to the previous [Infernal Fire Burning Body] special effect.

"Now, I have taken the initial shape of the five-dimensional breathing method, including the defense of the golden snake, the speed of scarlet, the power of the red emperor, the endurance of the sky, and the physique of the dead embers! I really look forward to the day when the sixth-dimensional perception breathing method takes shape. Well, I'll go outside and find a place to secretly test the strength of my fire dragon body."

Levi's heart moved, and he quietly left the Black Pearl Wizard Market at night.

The training room in his wizard tower is not enough for Levi to stretch his fire dragon body.

And there are so many strong people in the market, and it is not convenient for Levi to show his skills.

Leaving the Black Pearl Island.

Levi found a direction and flew towards the uninhabited sea.

Half a day later, he came to a deserted island. In the center of the deserted island, there was a crater.

"This place is not bad."

Levi came to the crater, and the flags of [Lightless Cover] flew out one by one, temporarily hiding this place.

Levi entered the formation and released the mountain giant Bo Gang, Tyrant II, and the wind and thunder pterosaur.

"Come on, all three of you come together."

Levi said.

Bo Gang and the others had long been accustomed to being Levi's sparring partners, and immediately rushed over with their own brute force or spell-like abilities.

Levi's Red Emperor Dragon Breathing Method was running, and the normalized Fire Dragon's true body emerged.

The dark golden scales had turned into a fiery red under the red flames.

The Fire Dragon's true body was only two feet high under normal conditions, and the overall shape was a bit like the red version of the Devil Dragon in Jackie Chan's Adventures.

The muscles were full, round and powerful, and with the red flames around him, Levi looked mighty and extraordinary, and his appearance was indeed beyond words.

I, Levi, am not ugly!

Levi jumped up, like a fire meteor, rushing in the crater.

He slammed his palm hard, and the huge ten-meter body of the mountain giant, who was famous for his strength, retreated directly, and then slapped Tyrant II away with one blow.

The discharged Raja was also directly dragged by Levi's tail, pulled from the air, and fell to the ground, his head buzzing.

The three behemoths stood up and attacked Levi again.

Meteors fall from the sky, thunder falls, and giant axes sweep across!

If it is an ordinary third-level wizard, even a senior third-level wizard who has mastered two innate spells, under such an offensive, he can only temporarily avoid the edge and run away.

But Levi, standing in the center of the crater, remained unmoved. No matter how fierce the attack was, he would always bathe in it and repel it with his simple fists.

It didn't take long for the battle to be over.

Bo Gang and Raja were exhausted and unable to get up again, and Ace, who controlled the tyrant, was about to turn into a small flame, obviously drained by the tyrant.

"Oh, it won't last long. I've just warmed up and you guys are done..."

The fire dragon's true form was so powerful that Levi didn't even use those two special forms.

"Without a suitable sparring partner, I can't even measure my limit. It's so frustrating... Without knowing how to get close, I used the two forms of [Dragon Warrior] and [Raging Dragon Master], combined with [ Bloodline Dharma Body·Nine Swords Asura]. Do I have any hope of breaking through the defensive force field of the fourth-ring wizard and killing the fourth-ring wizard?

Although my blood source has only changed, and my realm is equivalent to a third-level ordinary wizard, I am a hexagonal warrior, and my breathing methods are also the top breathing methods. Basically, under the premise of being close, under the fourth level, I can Just a little bragging...invincible! Don't be too exaggerated. Every villain who calls himself invincible will end badly. "

Levi was daydreaming in his mind. Of course, it was just a thought and would not be put into practice. He could just keep a low profile and become stronger. If anyone didn't bother him, he could just crush him to death.

After testing his strength, Levi put away the magic circle and prepared to sneak back to the market.

It's too chaotic outside right now, so if you don't have to, don't leave your house and practice at home.

On the way back, Levi turned on his synesthesia and moved forward carefully.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

Within the range of his synesthetic perception, he saw an acquaintance whom he had not seen for a long time.

After hesitating for a moment, Levi changed direction and flew quietly in that direction.

On the sea ahead.

Under the night, two escaping lights were speeding.

One of the escaping lights was a gray owl flying ahead.

Behind the owl was a witch who was hot on his heels. This witch was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with her white neck exposed.

"Eve, tell me the coordinates of the subspace node, and don't run away anymore. Although you have a special escape method, you are only a first-level senior wizard. After all, you can't escape from my grasp." The wizard sneered. road.

"Mia, I don't have the coordinates of the subspace node." The owl issued a cold female voice.

"You must know the node coordinates, don't try to lie to me!" the chasing witch shouted.

The owl was silent and flew wildly with its head buried in the air.

"Don't push me, we were good friends after all." She said coldly, her tone gradually becoming lower and murderous.

"Haha, I don't have a friend like you." The owl said calmly.

"I just want to leave the wizarding world. You only need to tell me the node coordinates. What's the problem?" asked the witch behind.

"Mia, don't be stubborn. The subspace node is a wild node and there is no subspace portal. With your strength, you cannot safely pass through the space distortion force of the subspace node. Your second ring defense field will Being torn apart in an instant, I don’t want to watch you die, please believe me!”

"Whether I die or not is my business and has nothing to do with you."

A man and an owl chase each other wildly.

The next moment, formation flags descended from the sky, surrounding the second-ring witches.

The owl's expression changed. Before she could figure out the situation, she was grabbed by a big hand emerging from the void.

The next moment, he disappeared in place.

at the same time.

The magic circle over there also quickly evacuated.

When the dizzy witch Mia appeared inside.

She looked around, and her spiritual power spread across the sea.

At night when the waves were noisy, there was no sign of the owl.

She was shocked and angry.

She was angry that the woman actually escaped, but she was shocked that the strength of the being who had just been rescued must be far superior to hers.

He didn't even notice the other party's arrival... This was the most terrifying thing.

Only a second-level wizard whose spiritual power is much higher than hers can do all this without anyone noticing.

A three-ring wizard might not be able to do it, maybe a four-ring wizard...

"When did Eve know someone of this level? If that person didn't have any murderous intention towards me, I might have died. Could it be that he was a big shot she was with when she was a messenger?"

The witch Mia was afraid for a while. She was once a good friend of Eve. She accidentally learned that Eve had mastered the coordinates of a wild subspace node when she was working as a messenger, and she became interested.

It's a pity that Eve refused to tell her the coordinates despite all the talk. She had no choice but to be tough and chase Eve all the way. If Eve hadn't mastered a special escape method, with her second-level ordinary wizard's cultivation Because, he has already caught up with the other party.

Now she found out that Eve had actually fallen in love with a big shot that she could only look up to, and she felt even more sad. Why don't any big shots take a fancy to me and allow me to have a warm and safe harbor in this troubled world?

"I can only think of other ways. I must return to the human world. The wizarding world will undergo a major reshuffle. I don't know how many wizards will die. Instead of sitting here and waiting to die, it is better to return to the human world. As long as I don't provoke the church, I can My longevity is enough to survive the remaining more than a hundred years. Anyway, I can't advance to the third ring in the wizarding world, and it doesn't matter if the power of the elements in the world is thin. "

Mia was so angry that she stomped her little feet in the air, with a gloomy look on her face, and then quickly left there.

…

The dark seabed.

A simple water-proof circle opens up a small space here.

Levi sat cross-legged on a rock. He spread out his big hands. In his palm, there was a gray owl with closed eyes.

He only saved the owl and did not kill the witch.

"Miss Eve?" Levi tried to ask.

He was too familiar with this owl, because when he was in the Gray Tower, this owl provided letter delivery services to him and Andrew every year. However, Miss Eve was very cold and busy, and what she had said to Levi was different. many.

Messenger Miss Eve was once an extremely powerful wizard for Levi...

Times have changed, and the other party is still only a first-level senior wizard, while Li Wei is already a third-level wizard.

The difference can be imagined.

Not long after, the owl slowly woke up.

She looked at the man in front of her, and memories that had been buried for a long time began to come back to her.

"Your Excellency Levi?"

"Exactly."

"Miss Eve, long time no see." Levi smiled.

Feeling Levi's powerful mental power fluctuations, Eve's expression changed.

"Thank you Levi... No, thank you senior!" Eve thanked her quickly.

"No need to be polite, it's easy for me to do it. After all, Miss Eve took so long to send us the letter."

"Senior, these are the jobs I should do...and I am already unemployed. I am no longer a messenger. The Owl Lodge has been destroyed by a dark wizard. I escaped by chance, but was hunted down by my former friends. If it weren't for Senior Rescue me, I might die here." Eve said.

"Senior saved me...could it be because of the sub-space node?" Eve suddenly thought of it and asked.

Levi smiled and nodded.

"I am indeed somewhat interested in that subspace node."

Levi naturally overheard their conversation and decided to save Eve.

He does not want to return to the human world, because there is no way to progress in the human world, and the mysterious Saint Estella of the Church of the Stars has discovered him.

However, if you can master a subspace node to return to the human world and give yourself an extra escape route, this would be a good choice.

In other words, if the wizarding world is really in chaos, or if Levi encounters some serious crisis, it would be a good choice to escape back to the human world for a while.

"Senior... It's not that I don't want to say that the subspace node is undeveloped, and there is no subspace portal for protection. Even the protective force field of the mid-level wizard may not be able to withstand it.

Moreover, with your senior's current cultivation level, returning to the human world will undoubtedly destroy your future. If you stay for a long time, your cultivation level may not advance or retreat.

The reason why I don't want to give my friend the node coordinates is for her own good. I don't want to see her die in vain, but she just doesn't trust me..."

Eve didn't seem to want to tell the coordinates of the subspace node.

Levi stared at the owl and remained silent, making his attitude clear.

After a long time.

The owl sighed, then opened its mouth and spit out a memory tablet.

Levi took the memory slate, which contained the coordinates of the wild subspace node.

"It's actually in the Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm... That's all. Put it away first. It won't be used for the time being anyway." Li Wei thought to himself.

Then, he looked at the owl and said with a smile: "Why doesn't Miss Eve return to her human form?"

After a while, the owl said: "In order to increase the speed of escape and facilitate communication, I have used the owl transformation technique for a long time. Now it is difficult to return to human form..."

Levi didn't expect that this transformation technique would have such sequelae.

"What are Miss Eve's plans next?" Levi asked.

The owl sat slumped in Levi's palm and said in a helpless tone: "Except for delivering letters, I don't seem to have any skills. Now I have turned into an owl again. I don't know when I can return to human form. I am also a first-level wizard. The rest His life expectancy may be less than a hundred years..."

"How about Miss Eve being my personal messenger." Levi thought for a while and said.

If you have a personal messenger, you can save a lot of trouble.

"Senior...is this okay?" Eve was a little excited.

Levi can save himself without anyone noticing, right under Mia's nose.

That shows that the opponent's strength is at least the third ring level.

Before the war broke out, she was just a small messenger in the wizarding world. She was just a low-level worker. Without special opportunities, it would have been impossible for her to get close to a powerful person like Levi.

Now, with an opportunity right in front of her, she naturally wouldn't refuse it.

In fact, the dream destination of many witches with ordinary talents is to become the dependents of some powerful wizards, whether they are maids or partners.

Therefore, the weaker the witches in the wizarding world are, the more beautiful they are.

On the contrary, those powerful and confident witches, such as Granny Mai, often retain their original appearance and disdain to use their appearance to please wizards.

"If there is no problem, let's settle it like this. Sign this agreement and you will provide me with letter delivery services in the future, and I will naturally keep you safe." Levi said.

"Okay senior, thank you for taking me in."

The owl stretched out its wings and bowed to Levi in ​​thanks.

If Levi hadn't taken her in, Eve would have just decided to find a random forest and spend the rest of her life as an ordinary owl.

Just like that, there was another special owl in Alice's ring.

In fact, many low-level and mid-level wizards will hire their own messenger.

It's just that in this era of war and chaos, the profession of messenger has become a high-risk profession.

As for high-level wizards, they generally have more convenient and ultra-long-distance communication spells, and will not use traditional and inefficient communication methods such as messengers.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Levi returned to the market.

After he returned to the Wizard Tower, he opened a storage bag.

This storage bag contains various memory slates.

Stored here are all the knowledge and documents he collected, which is equivalent to Li Wei's portable library.

During this period, Li Wei's main research work was on the purification potion.

With Li Wei's knowledge of pharmacy, it is not difficult to refine this kind of purification potion.

Pharmacy, whether it is an arcanist or a wizard, as long as it is a spellcaster profession, is actually very similar.

However, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

Levi has been to the Black Pearl Wizard Market and several surrounding markets, but has not found several main materials needed for the purification potion.

They are [cherry tomatoes], [forget-worn grass], and [stone-bone flowers].

Levi himself has a commonly used "Wizard's Herbal Encyclopedia", which basically collects illustrations of all the herbs that may be used in medicines below the fifth ring. These three materials are all not in the illustrated book.

"Is it possible that these three potions are only available in the Orser plane? Since they can't be found in the wizarding world, I have to work around it to see if I can find alternative materials for these three potions and keep experimenting. And if you try, you will always find a solution.”

As for searching in other planes, it is not realistic for a three-ring wizard like Levi.

Firstly, he has no way to go to other planes, and secondly, the unknown dangers in other planes may kill Levi.

While Levi was trying to research alternatives to purification agent materials.

The highest peak in the center of Black Pearl Island.

A majestic white tower towers into the clouds.

This is the wizard tower of the five-ring wizard Garcia, the owner of the Black Pearl Market.

Garcia is nicknamed "The Black Pearl Boy".

This nickname was not given by anyone else, but by Garcia himself.

Because he made his fortune by searching for black pearls in the abyss near Black Pearl Island.

From an unknown person, step by step, he became the five-ring wizard he is today.

In this fifth district, he is also a legendary figure.

After all, the little guy's counterattack routine never goes out of style.

In the entire fifth area of ​​the inner ring, there are almost a dozen fifth-ring wizards.

And Garcia is the only pure practicing wizard among them, with no foundation in a wizard family or wizard organization.

After becoming the fifth ring, Garcia always called himself the "Black Pearl Boy" in order not to forget the early days of struggle.

Because of his background as a casual cultivator, Garcia actually has a good attitude towards the casual cultivating wizards, which is why Levi chose to stay at the Black Pearl Market.

There are four four-ring wizards under Garcia's command, all of whom are from the Ocean School, known as the "Four Black Pearl Wizards".

The Valir who was in charge of the gathering on the Black Pearl was one of them.

Now, Garcia is gathering with four four-ring wizards. Everyone looks solemn, as if something big is about to happen.

"Everyone, I have summoned you from your respective posts today to discuss important matters."

Garcia is an old man with white hair, his eyes reveal the light of wisdom, his white robe is wide, and he is holding a staff, which fits the public's image of a wizard.

"Lord Garcia, please speak." Warrier said.

Garcia sighed, and then said: "I just received a letter from District 7. The Brontosaurus family in District 7 wants to acquire our Wizarding Market and turn it into their family's private property. "

"What? This Thunder Dragon family is too arrogant, their hands are reaching from the seventh district to the fifth district!"

"Yes, our Black Pearl Wizard Market has developed to where it is now with great difficulty. If it is acquired by the Thunder Dragon family, then the casual cultivators will never be able to make a difference in the future. All resources will be controlled by these wizard families. In that case, there will be no What do you mean? Isn't this following the path of ancient wizards?" Wizard Spyro looked angry.

He is also a practicing wizard. He was once suppressed by members of the wizard family, and he looked down upon the wizard family the most.

"Master Garcia, I think we should first see what price the Brontosaurus family can offer. If it is suitable, it doesn't matter. If it is not suitable, we must not agree. Anyway, they can't do anything to us. Their family's Solei Teke was just released by the Wizarding Tribunal."

"I think so too." Each wizard expressed his opinion.

After hearing this, Garcia also said with a look of helplessness: "The Sixth District has a military background like Rapid City, and the Thunder Dragon family does not dare to get involved. Our Fifth District should be regarded as the inner sea area where the development of casual wizards It’s the best area, and many casual cultivators come to us because of this. I didn’t expect that the Thunder Dragon family would take advantage of the current civil war to show such a face. It’s really too much.”

Three days later.

The Black Pearl Wizard Market welcomed a distinguished guest.

This guest is wearing a thunder robe, with a handsome face and extraordinary momentum.

He sat on the head of a giant purple snake that was over a hundred meters long.

The casual wizards in the wizard market looked at the terrifying giant snake hovering in mid-air outside the formation and couldn't help but feel shocked.

"Using a four-ring extraordinary creature as a mount is such a big deal!"

"Isn't that true? Do you know who this is? This is Thunder Spear Soret, the patriarch of the Thunder Dragon family. He is known as the strongest person in the seventh district of the inner ring. Within a hundred years, he may advance to the soul. "

This guest is Solet.

"Your Excellency Garcia, why don't you come and greet us if you have a guest coming from afar?" Soret said half-jokingly, but his tone was full of arrogance and indifference.

Soret's voice was like rolling thunder. If he wanted to, he could break through this so-called protective circle with one blow.

Of course, he is here to negotiate and establish his authority today, not to fight.

After all, he had just been punished by the wizard referee. Even if the Thunder Dragon family had a backer, they couldn't be too arrogant.

Not long after, a white-robed wizard laughed and led four four-ringed wizards to the outside of the formation.

"Hahahahaha, old man, I am in seclusion. I didn't expect Mr. Soret to come to visit. It's not a long way to welcome you, but it's not a long way to welcome you! Quickly, let Mr. Soret go in and ask the maid to prepare the wine." Garcia. smiled.

Soret narrowed his eyes and grinned: "Thank you."

Entering the market, Soret and Garcia, two powerful men with five rings, walked together in mid-air, attracting the attention of the low-level wizards in the wizard market.

Soret enjoys this feeling very much. This feeling of being like a giant dragon sitting high in the clouds, overlooking all living things of ants, is exactly the supreme state he pursues!

In a wizard tower in the most remote place, Levi stood at the window, looking at the handsome man talking and laughing in the distance, his face gloomy.

"Thunder Spear, how come there is this shit-stirring stick everywhere..."

He murmured in his heart, he didn't expect that in the fifth area of ​​​​the inner ring, he could actually encounter this damn thunder spear.

If it weren't for this guy, Levi wouldn't have left Rapid City.

Otherwise, relying on Rapid City's resources, Li Xiu's journey would be much easier than it is now.

Moreover, Huffman's death is also inseparable from this guy.

When those people entered Garcia's wizard tower, Levi came to Xavier's door.

"Lao Sha, are you at home?" Li Wei sent a message.

After a while, Lao Sha appeared in front of Li Wei with a disgraced face.

"The weapon I just made exploded. I'm a little embarrassed. What's wrong?" Wizard Xavier said.

"Do you know why the people from the Brontosaurus family came to our market?"

"I don't know the specifics. I heard Old John say that it seems that the Brontosaurus family wants to acquire this wizard market, and it should be negotiating now."

"Lao Sha, do you want the Thunder Dragon family to acquire this place?"

"Of course I don't want to. The current Black Pearl Wizard Market is undoubtedly the best state for us casual cultivators. If the Thunder Dragon family takes over here and brings the family's team, tsk tsk, us casual cultivators Xiu, either become the lackey of the Thunder Dragon Family, or leave... But it’s useless if I don’t hope. How can we people fight against such a behemoth like the Thunder Dragon Family?”

"well."

Li Wei and Lao Sha couldn't help but sigh at the same time.

"It's so difficult to be a casual cultivator. Lao Sha, haven't you ever thought about joining a wizard organization?" Li Wei suddenly asked.

"I never thought that ordinary wizard organizations would be looked down upon by my strength. Those good wizard organizations have too many rules and regulations. Sometimes they have to work hard for the organization, which is not worth it. I am doing well like this now. I can make some money to practice my own cultivation. It’s best if I can break through the fourth ring. It doesn’t matter if I can’t. A three-ring wizard has a lifespan of five hundred years. I still have two hundred years to live.”

"You are quite tolerant."

Li Wei was quite envious of Lao Sha's salty attitude towards life.

He has been paying attention to the situation at Garcia's Tower.

A giant purple snake coiled high in the sky, waiting for its owner to come out.

"Thunder Serpent, what a good thing. These days, four-ring extraordinary creatures are rare in the wizarding world. It is said that the Thunder Serpent's [Purple Thunder Gallbladder] is very helpful for practicing Thunder faction spells..." Levi said in his heart Said to himself, then looked away.

Not long after, Soret flew out of the wizard tower expressionlessly, reached the top of the giant snake, flew outside without saying a word, and left here.

Levi saw Garcia looking ugly, and it was obvious that the negotiation was not pleasant.

"Is it possible that we have to change places again? Moving every day, when will it end... Forget it, let's not move for now, let's just wait and see what happens."

Levi shook his head and returned to the Wizard Tower.

Above the sky above the distant sea, Thunder Snake soared into the sky, and Solet showed a cruel smile.

“I can’t take over Rapid City for the time being, so why can’t I take over a casual wizard’s market?

When I take control of the seventh and fifth districts, the city of Rapids surrounded by me will still be mine!

Ms. Blue Dragon, wait for me. I will not only take down the Stormwind City, but also you, the bastard dragon girl!

In this case, let the chaos come even more violently. Seventh familiar, come out to me! "
