Wizards: Begin Liver Experience with Knight Breathing

Levi —————

Chidilong breathing method: thirteenth grade (1/500000), special effect: fire dragon real body (first grade).

...

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

Li Wei looked at the empty panel, feeling a little uncomfortable for a while.

[Avatar of the Fire Dragon: Red Emperor Dragon, the Flame Dragon that destroys the world, the incarnation of power. You have initially awakened the true body of the fire dragon when the Red Emperor Dragon was a child.

The normal fire dragon avatar allows you to have extraordinary fire affinity talent, unparalleled strength, strong resistance to fire element spells, and dragon flame attack that burns everything.

Burning the blood of the Red Emperor, according to the degree of burning, you will open a special form of the fire dragon avatar, which can be divided into two special forms: [Dragon Warrior] and [Raging Dragon Venerable].

Burning 30% of the blood of the Red Emperor consumes 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 get the ultimate strength bonus, the power of a punch , The mountain surpasses the sea! However, other attributes such as speed will be reduced.

Burn 50% of the blood of the Red Emperor, ignite the anger in your heart, and you can enter the form of [Rage Dragon Venerable]. After entering this form, your all-round attributes will be greatly improved. The stronger the attribute increases, at the same time, your sanity value will continue to decrease with the rise of anger. Please use this form carefully and restore it to normal before completely losing your sanity, or use corresponding exercises and medicines to reconcile it.

The real body of the fire dragon is only the first stage of the road of the Red Emperor Dragon. With the improvement of the purity of the blood of the Red Emperor Dragon, a more powerful real body form will be unlocked.

The fire dragon avatar has strong inclusiveness, you can increase the special form of the fire dragon avatar through fusion. 】

Li Wei looked at the introduction of the special effects of the real body of the fire dragon, and only felt that the proficiency panel seemed to be more and more humanized, and he would even make some small suggestions for himself.

"Generally speaking, all the miscellaneous special effects of the breathing method of the four major power systems before are dominated by the red lotus breathing method, forming a brand 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 complete fire dragon avatar.

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

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

What's more, there are other ways to get the frost element talent in the future.

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

After the revision, the Chidilong breathing method is unpretentious and simple.

A simple "fire dragon real body" can cover most of the previous special effects.

The two special effects of [Whale Swallowing the Sea] and [King Kong's Wrath], which are very important to Li Wei, have become two special forms of the true body of the fire dragon.

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

"Rage Dragon Venerable, consume part of sanity points and burn anger points to improve physical fitness in an all-round way."

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

However, Li Wei's previous [Blood of the Red Lotus], which had a relatively large side effect, was integrated into the normalized fire dragon avatar, and the side effects were gone. Special effects, the strength has been doubled.

"For me today, the five latitudes of breathing have been initially formed, the defense of the golden snake, the speed of scarlet, the power of the red emperor, the stamina of the sky, and the physique of death! I really look forward to the day when the sixth latitude perception breathing method is formed. Forget it, go outside and find a place to secretly test the strength of my fire dragon avatar."

Li Wei's heart moved, and he quietly left the Black Pearl Wizard Bazaar at night.

The training room in his wizard tower is not enough for Li Wei to stretch his fire dragon avatar.

Moreover, in the market, there are so many strong men, it is not convenient for Li Wei to display his skills.

Out of the Black Pearl Island.

Li Wei found a direction and flew towards the uninhabited sea.

Half a day later, he came to a deserted island with a crater in the center of the deserted island.

"It's not bad here."

When Li Wei came to the crater, flags of [Shield of Light] flew out one after another, temporarily hiding the place.

Li Wei entered the formation and released the mountain giant Bo Gang, Tyrant II, and Fenglei Pterosaur.

"Come on, the three of you go up together."

Levi said.

Bo Gang and the others have long been accustomed to being Li Wei's training partner, and immediately rushed over with their own brute force or magic-like abilities.

Li Wei's Chidilong breathing method worked, and the normalized fire dragon avatar emerged.

The dark golden scales had already turned blazing red under the red flames.

The real body of the fire dragon is only two feet tall when it is normalized. The overall shape is a bit like the red version of the devil dragon in Jackie Chan's Adventures.

The muscles are full, round and powerful, and with the red flames all over his body, Li Wei looks mighty and extraordinary, and his appearance is indeed worth mentioning.

I, Levi, am not ugly!

Li Wei jumped up, like a bolide, rampaging in the crater.

He slammed a palm, and the huge ten-meter body of the mountain giant, known for its strength, retreated violently, and then with a blow, Tyrant II was sent flying.

The discharged Raja was also directly dragged by Li Wei's tail, dragged down from the air, and fell to the ground, his brain buzzing.

The three behemoths stood up and attacked Li Wei again.

Meteorites fell from the sky, thunder fell, and giant axes swept across!

If it was an ordinary third-ring wizard, even a senior third-ring wizard who had mastered two innate spells, under such an offensive, he could only temporarily avoid the edge and flee.

But Li Wei, standing in the middle of the crater, remained motionless. No matter how violent the attack was, he would bathe in it and repel it with unpretentious fists.

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

Bogang and Raja are exhausted and unable to recover, and Ace, who controls the tyrant, is about to become a small flame, obviously drained by the tyrant.

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

The fire dragon's real body is too strong, and Li Wei didn't use those two special forms.

"Without a suitable training partner, I can't find out where my limit is. It's so distressing... I don't know how to get close, and I use the two forms of [Giant Dragon Warrior] and [Rage Dragon Venerable], paired with [ Bloodline Dharma Body·Nine Swords Asura]. Is there any hope for me to break through the defensive force field of the Sihuan wizard and kill Sihuan.

Although I just changed my blood source, and my realm is equivalent to an ordinary wizard of the third ring, but I am a hexagonal warrior, and my breathing method is also the top breathing method. A little bragging... Invincible! It can't be too inflated, every villain who claims to be invincible will end badly. "

Li Wei's daydreams, of course, are just thoughts, and will not be put into practice, just keep a low profile and become stronger, and if anyone doesn't open their eyes to provoke him, just pinch him to death.

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

It's too chaotic outside now, if it's not necessary, don't go out and practice at home.

On the way back, Li Wei drove the synesthesia and proceeded carefully.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

Within the range of his synaesthesia, he saw an acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

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

the sea ahead.

Under the night, two escaped lights are galloping.

One of the ray of light is a gray owl flying ahead at the moment.

And behind the owl, there is a sorceress who is chasing after her. This sorceress is gorgeously dressed, showing her white neck.

"Eve, tell me the coordinates of the subspace node, don't run away anymore, although you have a special escape method, but you are only a ring of senior wizards, after all, you can't escape from my palm." The female wizard sneered road.

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

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

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

"Don't force me, after all, we were good friends once." She said coldly, her tone gradually deepened, her murderous intent was awe-inspiring.

"Hehe, I don't have a friend like you." Owl said calmly.

"I just want to leave the world of wizards. You just need to tell me the coordinates of the nodes, so what's the problem?" asked the witch behind.

"Mia, don't be obsessed with it. The subspace node is a wild node, and there is no subspace portal. With your strength, it is impossible to safely pass through the space distortion force of the subspace node. Your second-ring defensive force field will Torn apart in an instant, I don't want to watch you die, trust me!"

"Whether I will die or not is my business, not yours."

One person and one owl are chasing wildly.

The next moment, formation flags descended from the sky, besieging the second ring witch.

The owl's complexion changed, and she was grabbed by a big hand that emerged from the void before she could figure out the situation.

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 mental power spread across the sea.

In the noisy night of the waves, there are no traces of owls.

She was shocked and angry.

What made her angry was that the woman escaped, and what surprised her was that the strength of the person who just rescued him must be far above her.

I didn't even notice the arrival of the other party at all... This is the most terrifying thing.

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

A wizard with three rings might not be able to do it, maybe a wizard with four rings...

"Since when did Eve know an existence of this level? If it wasn't for that person's lack of intent to kill me, I might have died. Could it be that she was a big shot next to her when she was a messenger?"

The witch Mia was afraid for a while. She used to be Eve's friend. When she accidentally learned that Eve had mastered the coordinates of a wild subspace node when she was a messenger, she moved her mind.

It's a pity that Eve just refused to tell her the coordinates. She had no choice but to be tough and chased Eve all the way. If it wasn't for the special escape method Eve mastered, with her second-ring ordinary wizard's cultivation Because, they have already caught up with each other.

Now that she found out that Eve had actually approached the big man she could only look up to, she felt even more sour. Why don't people and big shots take a fancy to me and let me have a warm and safe haven in this troubled world.

"I can only think of other ways. I must return to the human world. The world of wizards will usher in a major reshuffle. I don't know how many wizards will fall. Instead of sitting here waiting to die, it is better to return to the world. As long as you don't provoke the church, you can go back to the world." My lifespan, I can safely spend the remaining one hundred years, anyway, I can't advance to the third ring in the world of wizards, and it doesn't matter if the power of human elements is weak."

Mia stomped her little feet in the void angrily, with a gloomy expression, and then quickly left there.

...

The dark bottom.

A simple water avoidance circle opened up a small space here.

Li Wei sat cross-legged on a reef, he spread out his big hand, and in his palm, there was a gray owl with closed eyes.

He just saved the owl, and didn't kill the witch.

"Miss Eve?" Li Wei tried to ask.

He is very familiar with this owl, because when he was in the Gray Tower, this owl provided him and Andrew with mail delivery service every year, but Miss Eve was very cold and busy, and the words she said to Li Wei were not the same. many.

Eve, the messenger lady, was once an extremely powerful ring wizard for Li Wei...

Time has passed, the other party is only a senior wizard of the first ring, and Li Wei is already a wizard of the third ring.

The gap among them can be imagined.

After a while, the owl woke up slowly.

She looked at the man in front of her, and her long-lost memories began to recall.

"Your Excellency Levi?"

"Exactly."

"Miss Eve, long time no see." Li Wei smiled.

Feeling Li Wei's powerful mental fluctuations, Eve's complexion changed.

"Thank you Li Wei...no, thank you senior!" Eve thanked quickly.

"You don't need to be polite, it's easy for me, after all, Miss Eve sent us letters for so long."

"Senior, these are the jobs I should be doing... and I am already unemployed, I am no longer a messenger, the owl hut has been destroyed by the black wizard, I escaped by chance, but was hunted down by my old friends, if it is not for the senior If you save me, I may die here." Eve said.

"Senior saved me... Could it be because of that subspace node?" Eve suddenly thought, and asked.

Li Wei nodded with a smile.

"I am indeed somewhat interested in the Naya space node."

Li Wei naturally eavesdropped on their conversation before deciding to save Eve.

He doesn't want to go back to the human world, because there is no way to progress in the human world, and there is also the mysterious Saint Estella of the Church of the Stars who has discovered himself.

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

In other words, if the wizarding world is really chaotic to a certain extent, or Li Wei encounters some serious crises, it is also a good choice to escape back to the world for a while.

"Senior...it's not that I don't want to say, the subspace node is undeveloped, without the protection of the subspace portal, even the protective force field of an intermediate wizard may not be able to hold it.

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

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

Eve doesn't seem to want to say the coordinates of the sub-space node.

Li Wei stared at the owl, remained silent, and expressed his attitude.

After a long time.

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

Li Wei took the memory tablet, which contained the coordinates of the wild subspace node.

"It's actually in the Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm... Forget it, put it away first, anyway, it won't be needed for the time being." 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 escape speed and facilitate the transmission of messages, I have used the owl transformation technique for a long time, and now it is difficult to return to the human form..."

Li Wei didn't expect that the transfiguration would have such a sequelae.

"What's Miss Eve's plan next?" Li Wei asked.

The owl sat paralyzed in Li Wei's palm, and said in a helpless tone: "I don't seem to have any skills other than sending letters, and now I've turned into an owl again. I don't know when I can change back to human form. The next lifespan may be less than a hundred years..."

"Why don't Miss Eve be my personal messenger." Li Wei thought for a while and said.

If there is a personal messenger, it can save a lot of trouble.

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

Li Wei can save himself without anyone noticing under Mia's nose.

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

Before the war broke out, she was just a small messenger in the wizarding world. She was a purely low-level worker. If there was no special opportunity, it would be impossible for her to get close to a strong man like Li Wei.

Now, there is an opportunity in front of her eyes, and she will naturally not refuse it.

In fact, the dream of many witches with ordinary talents is to become the dependents of some powerful wizards, whether it is a maid or a partner.

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

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

"If there is no problem, let's make it like this. Sign this agreement. If you provide me with mail delivery services in the future, I will naturally keep you safe." Li Wei said.

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

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

If it wasn't for Li Wei to take her in, Eve planned to find a random forest and just 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 middle-level wizards will hire a messenger dedicated to themselves.

It's just that in today's turbulent era, the profession of messenger has also become a high-risk profession.

As for high-level wizards, they generally have more convenient, ultra-long-distance messaging spells, and they will not use the traditional and inefficient method of messengers.

Taking advantage of the night, Li Wei returned to the market.

After he returned to the wizard tower, he opened a storage bag.

This storage bag contains all kinds of memory tablets.

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

During this period of time, 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 purification potion.

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

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

Li Wei has traveled all over the Black Pearl Wizard Bazaar and several surrounding bazaars for the main materials needed for the purification potion, but he has not found them.

They are [Saint Fruit], [Forgetfulness Grass], and [Stone Bone Flower].

Li Wei himself has a commonly used "Wizard Herbology Encyclopedia", which basically collects illustrations of all the herbs that may be used in pharmaceuticals below the fifth ring. None of these three materials are on the illustration book.

"Could it be that these three potions are only found in the Oser plane? Since I can't find them in the wizarding world, I have to work around to see if I can find alternative materials for these three potions, and continue to experiment. And try, there's always a solution."

As for looking for other planes, it is not realistic for a third-ring wizard like Li Wei.

First, he has no way to go to other planes, and second, the unknown dangers of other planes may kill Li Wei.

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

The highest peak in the center of Black Pearl Island.

A majestic white tower towers into the sky.

This is the wizard tower of Garcia, the master of the Black Pearl Bazaar, the five-ring wizard.

Garcia nicknamed "The Black Pearl Kid".

This nickname was not given by others, 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 to today's five-ring wizard.

In this Fifth District, he is also a rather legendary figure.

After all, the counterattack routine of the little people will never go out of style.

In the fifth district of the inner ring, there are almost a dozen wizards of the fifth ring.

And Garcia is the only pure casual wizard among them, without the foundation of a wizard family or a wizard organization.

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

Because of his background as a casual cultivator, Garcia actually has a good attitude towards casual cultivating wizards, which is why Li Wei chose to stay in the Black Pearl Bazaar.

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

The Valier who was in charge of the assembly on the Black Pearl was one of them.

But now, Garcia was getting together with the four wizards of the four rings. Everyone looked dignified, as if something big was about to happen.

"Everyone, I summoned you from your respective positions today to discuss something important."

Garcia is a white-haired old man, his eyes reveal the light of wisdom, his white robe is wide, and he is leaning on a staff, which fits the public's image of a wizard.

"Master Garcia, please speak." Valier said.

Garcia sighed, and then said: "I just received a letter from the Seventh District, the Thunder Dragon family in the Seventh District wants to buy our wizard market and turn it into their family's private property. "

"What? The Thunder Dragon family is too arrogant, they have stretched their hands from the seventh district to the fifth district!"

"That's right, our Black Pearl Wizard Bazaar has finally developed to where it is today. If it is bought by the Thunder Dragon family, then there will be no future for casual cultivators, and all resources will be controlled by these wizard families. What do you mean? Isn't this the old way of the ancient wizards?" Wizard Spyro looked angry.

He is also a casual wizard, and he was once suppressed by the wizard family, and he looked down on the wizard family the most.

"Lord Garcia, I think we should first see what price the Thunder Dragon family can offer. If it's suitable, it's okay. If it's not suitable, we definitely can't agree. Anyway, they can't do anything to us. Solei of their family Te was just released by the Wizarding Inquisition."

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

After Garcia heard about it, he also said with a helpless expression: "The sixth district has a military background like Strom City, and the Thunder Dragon family dare not get involved. Our fifth district should be regarded as the inner ring sea area, where casual wizards develop. It is the best area, and many shamans and sorcerers have come to join us because of this. I didn't expect that the Thunder Dragon family would take advantage of the current civil war and show such a face, it is really too much."

Three days later.

The Black Pearl Wizard Bazaar has welcomed a distinguished guest.

This guest was wearing a Thunder Robe, with a handsome complexion and an extraordinary imposing manner.

He sat on top of a giant purple snake with a length of more than 100 meters.

The casual wizards in the wizard market couldn't help being shocked when they saw the terrifying giant snake hovering in mid-air outside the formation.

"Using an extraordinary creature with four rings as a mount, what a masterstroke!"

"Isn't it? Do you know who this is? This is the patriarch of the Thunder Dragon family, Thunder Spear Solet, who is known as the strongest in the seventh area of ​​the inner ring. Within a hundred years, it is possible to advance to the existence of the soul. "

This guest is none other than Solet.

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

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

Of course, he came here today to negotiate and establish his prestige, not to fight.

After all, he had just been punished by the Wizarding Tribunal, 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.

"Hahahaha, old man, I am in seclusion. I didn't expect His Excellency Solet to come to visit. I am far away to welcome you, but I am far away to welcome you! Hurry up, let Your Excellency Solet go in, and ask the maid to prepare the wine." Garcia said. laughed.

Solet narrowed his eyes and grinned, "Thank you."

After entering the market, Solet and Garcia, the two powerful men with five rings, walked together in mid-air, which attracted the crowd of low-level wizards in the wizard market.

Solet enjoys this feeling very much. This feeling, like a giant dragon sitting on a cloud, overlooking the ants and all living beings, is exactly the supreme realm he pursues!

In the most remote wizard tower, Li Wei stood at the window, looking at the handsome man talking and laughing in the distance, with a gloomy expression.

"Thunder Spear, why is there such a shit-stirring stick everywhere..."

He murmured in his heart, he never expected that in the fifth district of the inner ring, he could also encounter this damned Thunder Spear.

If it wasn't for this guy, Levi wouldn't have left Strom City.

Otherwise, it would be much easier for Li Weiwei to rely on the resources of Strom City than it is now.

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

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

"Old Sha, are you home?" Li Wei said via voice transmission.

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

"The weapon exploded just now, and I'm a little embarrassed, what's wrong?" Wizard Xavier said.

"Do you know what the people from the Thunder Dragon family are doing in our market?"

"I'm not too sure about the specifics. According to Old John, it seems that the Thunder Dragon family wants to acquire this wizard market. It should be here to negotiate."

"Lao Sha, do you want the Thunder Dragon family to buy 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, bring the family's team here, tsk tsk, us casual cultivators Xiu, you can either become a running dog of the Thunder Dragon family, or leave... But it’s useless if I don’t want to, how can we fight against such a behemoth as the Thunder Dragon family.”

"well."

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

"Loose cultivation is too difficult, Lao Sha, haven't you thought about joining the wizarding organization?" Li Wei asked suddenly.

"I never thought that ordinary wizarding organizations would look down on me with my strength. Those good wizarding organizations have too many rules and regulations, and sometimes they have to work for the organization, so it's not worth it. I'm doing fine now, making Earn some money with weapons, enough for self-cultivation, it is best to be able to break through the fourth ring, it doesn’t matter if you can’t, a wizard with the third ring has a lifespan of five hundred years, I still have two hundred years to live.”

"You are quite open-minded."

Li Wei is very envious of Lao Sha's attitude towards life like a salted fish.

He has been paying attention to the situation on the other side of Garcia Tower.

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

"Thunder Serpent, good stuff. These days, extraordinary creatures with four rings are rare in the world of wizards. It is said that the [Purple Thunder Gall] of the Thunder Serpent is of great benefit to the practice of Thunder School spells..." Li Wei thought in his heart Talk to yourself, then look away.

Not long after, Solet flew out of the wizard tower with a blank face, reached the top of the giant snake, flew outside without saying a word, and left here.

Li Wei saw that Garcia looked ugly, and it was obvious that the negotiation was not pleasant.

"Could it be that we have to change places again? Moving every day, when will it be the first time... Forget it, don't move now, let's wait and see what happens."

Li Wei shook his head and returned to the wizard tower.

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

"I can't take down Rapid City for the time being, can I still take down a casual wizard market?

When I control both the Seventh District and the Fifth District, the Strom City surrounded by me will still be mine!

Ms. Blue Dragon, just wait for me, I not only want to take down Rapid City, I also want to take down you, a bitch dragon girl!

That being the case, let the chaos come more violently, the seventh familiar, come out for me! "
