《Fantasy: I Can Modify The Production Date Of All Creation》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li Wei sat on a wooden bed with a blank look on his face. Was not he happily playing World of Warcraft in the internet cafe? Why did he suddenly come here? He saw that he was in a wooden house with a simple interior decoration. There was only a bed and a set of table and chairs. On the table, there was something that looked like an oil lamp. The material was similar to bronze, but there was no kerosene in it. It was as if it had been appeared out of thin air. Suddenly, an unfamiliar memory entered Li Wei¡¯s mind bit by bit, causing him to have a splitting headache. Gradually, the feeling stopped and Li Wei was able to take a breather to go through this sudden memory. As Li Wei finished digesting those unfamiliar memories, Li Wei also understood his current situation. This was a fantasy world and it contained gorgeous magic and powerful battle spirit. Here, the strong were respected. The weak were prey to the strong, and the weak were only fit to struggle on their last breaths. Li Wei was in this world, the Black Han Kingdom. It¡¯s in the Spano Province. He was also an odd-job student at the Spano Academy. Usually, he would sweep the floor or do some other chores, and then exchange for a chance to study. The Spano Academy was one of the five great academies in the Black Han Kingdom. It was the holy land of magic cultivation that everyone yearned to enroll in. ¡°How am I supposed to live like this?¡± Li Wei asked with some discomfort. In this world where the strong preyed on the weak, he was a weakling without talent and strength. He did not even have the golden finger that was necessary for transmigration. All of this made Li Wei feel a little hopeless. He did not know how to continue living in this new world. He was only an apprentice magician now. He could not even be considered a magician. He could only mobilize his spiritual power and his spirit was just a little better than an ordinary person¡¯s. As for talent, Li Wei¡¯s predecessor had already been a handyman here for five years. The students of the same period either had a breakthrough in their cultivation and were qualified to do some handyman work with their instructors to further their studies. Some people entered the academy to become official students because of their good talent. Only Li Wei was still an apprentice magician. Therefore, Li Wei was a well-known person among the odd-job students because he was trash. Just when Li Wei was feeling sad about his tragic experience, a cold mechanical voice sounded. ¡°The system to modify the date of production of all things has been activated. Binding now begins. ¡°Binding completed. Now, let¡¯s start with the introduction of the functions. ¡°There is only one function of this system, and that is to modify the date of production of all living things. However, there are a few things to note: 1. The period for modifying the date will increase as the host¡¯s cultivation level increases. Currently, the host is at the level of an apprentice magician. He can modify the system for a maximum of fifteen years. 2. Each major realm can only affect one specific item. 3. Other functions are open, please wait for the system¡¯s upgrade.¡± All of this was left in Li Wei¡¯s mind with one sentence: Your cheat has arrived, please pay attention to the receipt. However, was not this cheat a little too powerful? To be able to change the cultivation time at will, even in the fantasy world, this ability to control time was extremely powerful. At this moment, Li Wei no longer felt panic as before. Instead, he had strong confidence that he would definitely be able to make a name for himself in this foreign world. Suddenly, Li Wei thought of something. If he could change the production date of all living things for fifteen years, then could his spiritual power be upgraded? Thinking of this, Li Wei did not hesitate. He immediately began to use his own body as an experiment object, advancing his spiritual power by fifteen years. ¡°Choose the host¡¯s spiritual power. Begin the modification.¡± In an instant, Li Wei felt his mind gradually become clear. An unprecedented comfortable feeling spread throughout his entire body. ¡­ Li Wei¡¯s cultivation level rose like a rocket until it stopped at the apprentice magician¡¯s level. He was only one step away from becoming a beginner magician. Li Wei felt the spiritual energy filling his mind and could not help but exclaim, ¡°This is a f*cking magician.¡± Li Wei could not suppress his ecstasy. In the future, would his cultivation be like riding a rocket? Unfortunately, he could only ride a rocket once in a big realm. However, Li Wei was not an insatiable person. He was already very satisfied that his ordinary body could train faster than those so-called geniuses. It was only a matter of time before he became strong. As long as he did not act rashly, he would definitely be able to rely on this system to become one of the big shots in these biographies he had read. Suddenly, Li Wei remembered that he still had a level-1 spell that he had not cultivated. The completion of an apprentice magician was the threshold to learn level-1 magic. In the past, he did not learn because he did not have enough mental strength. Could he use the system to try it out now? The magic in this world was divided into levels-1 to 9, and the most powerful was god-level. Although level-1 magic was only the lowest level among them, this was something that Li Wei¡¯s predecessor wanted to practice but could not. Thinking of this, Li Wei chose the level-1 Fireball spell in his mind and began to modify the time. ¡°Level-1 Fireball spell modified time successfully. Congratulations, host, for mastering the Fireball spell to perfection.¡± As the cold electronic sound rang out, many insights regarding the Fireball spell appeared in Li Wei¡¯s mind. He felt everything was so well-integrated as if the Fireball spell was created by himself. Li Wei could not help but feel a little smug. As far as he knew, among the odd-job students in the academy, no one who could cultivate a spell to a perfect level. Li Wei did not know who was at the highest level among the odd-job students but he was sure that he was definitely one of the best. Li Wei was still very excited about his new ability. Li Wei could not help but sigh at the wonders of this system. He was just an ordinary odd-job student, but now he had the ability to compete with the geniuses among the odd-job students. Li Wei brushed away his excitement and walked out of the door. He wanted to test his strength. He took a deep breath and started to chant a spell toward a big tree that was as big as a person¡¯s hug. ¡°Fire Elf, listen to my call and fuse together with the power of unity. I can now use the Fireball spell to destroy my enemies.¡± In an instant, a fireball with a diameter of half a meter accurately hit the tree under Li Wei¡¯s control. At the moment of contact, the fireball directly exploded, splitting the tree trunk into pieces. Li Wei looked at the tree that had already exploded in front of him with satisfaction. Then, he started to meditate in the courtyard. He wanted to see if he could become a beginner magician today. However, Li Wei was disappointed as he could not break through the barrier no matter what. It seemed that his memory was right ¨C he needed to consume a magic potion to break through to become a beginner magician. Otherwise, Li Wei¡¯s greatest achievement in his life would be to complete his apprenticeship as a magician. This magic potion could only be refined by a super high-level magician. In the entire Spano Province, it was said that there were only a few super high-level magicians. That was a true super powerhouse. Li Wei felt that he was not qualified to obtain this magic potion. Li Wei knew that he should give up on the path of a magician, but when he had this thought, there would be a feeling of conflict in the depths of his consciousness. Li Wei knew that this was the remnant consciousness of his predecessor. If he forcefully gave up on magic, he was afraid that he would not be able to live comfortably in the future. Li Wei stood in the courtyard and thought for a while before saying, ¡°I will not give up on magic cultivation but I need to cultivate the battle spirit. I promise that I¡¯ll have both magic and martial arts cultivation in the future. If I have the chance to obtain that magic potion in the future, I¡¯ll become a powerful magician.¡± Although Li Wei did not know why his predecessor had such a deep obsession to become a magician, he was not willing to give up even if he died. However, Li Wei still decided to practice both magic and martial arts, so that his predecessor would not feel so regretful. Having made up his mind, Li Wei started to head to the library where he had kept some low-level battle spirit practice methods and techniques.. Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li Wei walked to the library, took out his identity magic crystal card, and swiped it in front of the door. It opened automatically. Li Wei walked up to the second floor. The higher the level of the library¡¯s collection, the more valuable it was. However, Li Wei could only go up to the second floor, which was the highest level that an odd-job student could go to. As for why no one dared to break the rules and go upstairs, it was because the head of the library was a magician with profound cultivation. Some people even said that he was even stronger than the elusive head of the library. It was rumored that the library was constantly under the surveillance of his profound mind. Li Wei came to the second floor of the library. First, he chose an attribute-free magic book in a corner of the magic area. It was called Mind Detection. It was a level-1 Detection spell, which could detect a distance of about ten meters in a straight line. This was a very practical magic book. However, because it was located in an extremely remote location, very few people practiced it. Li Wei also happened to see it when he was cleaning for a living. However, at that time, his predecessor did not have enough spiritual power to practice it. Therefore, it was convenient for the current Li Wei. Next, Li Wei went to the Battle Spirit Section and chose a cultivation method and technique called Flaming Sun and a technique called Flaming Sun Sword that complemented the Flaming Sun. Among them, the Flaming Sun was a level-2 cultivation method while the Flaming Sun Sword was a level-1 technique. Although the level was low, it was currently the most suitable for Li Wei¡¯s cultivation method and technique. This method could cultivate the fire attribute which was a perfect match for Li Wei who had some slight talent in it. After Li Wei had chosen, he brought the three scrolls to the front desk to register. It was not that Li Wei did not want to choose more, but he only had the right to take three scrolls now. The front desk of the Academy Library was overseen by an old man with a white beard and hair, wearing a simple magician robe. The old man saw Li Wei and asked with a smile, ¡°Little Li Wei is here. Why did you go to the Battle Spirit Section this time? Have you thought it through? Are you going to the Battle Spirit Academy to develop further?¡± It was obvious that the old man knew Li Wei. The old man¡¯s name was Wei Nuo. He worked at the front desk of the library all year round. Li Wei was familiar with him because Li Wei was mainly in charge of cleaning and tidying up the first and second floors of the library. Li Wei¡¯s predecessor was also a warm-hearted and kind person. Looking at the lonely old man, he would give the meat in his meals to Wei Nuo every time. The two of them became familiar with each other. The old man even once wanted to bring Li Wei to the top floor of the library to take a look, but Li Wei was afraid of bringing trouble to Wei Nuo, so he did not go. Hearing Wei Nuo¡¯s words, Li Wei could not help but be a little shocked. He was at the corner of the second floor where the Battle Spirit Section was. This old man knew everything from the first floor? ¡°Grandpa Wei Nuo, how did you know that I came and even went to the Battle Spirit Section?¡± Li Wei asked curiously. Wei Nuo did not answer. He only smiled and said, ¡°You answer me first. Are you going to the Battle Spirit Academy? If you want to go, I know someone there. I can introduce him to you. You don¡¯t have to worry that your cultivation isn¡¯t enough.¡± Li Wei refused and said, ¡°Thank you, Grandpa Wei Nuo. I still like magic. I know that I won¡¯t be able to become a beginner-level magician in a short time, so I¡¯ve decided to cultivate both magic and martial arts.¡± ¡°What? Why are you so silly, kid? I¡¯m advising you because you do have some talent in combat. Although you can¡¯t become a mighty figure, you can still protect yourself in this world. A person¡¯s energy is limited. You have to know how many geniuses end up mediocre because of dual cultivation. Now, if you want to cultivate both magic and martial arts, what can you achieve in the future?¡± Wei Nuo spoke in a somewhat disappointed tone. Li Wei could sense from Wei Nuo¡¯s words that he cared about him, so he said, ¡°Grandpa Wei Nuo, I just want to give it a try. I still don¡¯t want to give up my dream of becoming a magician.¡± After Wei Nuo heard this, he could only sigh and say, ¡°Why are you so stubborn? Grandpa is doing this for your own good!¡± Wei Nuo was really doing this for Li Wei. All these years, he had been alone in the library, and there was only one young man who was so good to him. Wei Nuo¡¯s cold heart was also moved and he treated him as his own grandson. How could he just watch Li Wei, who had ordinary talent, walk toward a dead end? Li Wei did not know how to persuade Wei Nuo to agree. He could not say that he was a cheat and that he was confident that he could achieve both in the future. He could only follow Wei Nuo¡¯s lead and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Grandpa Wei Nuo. I¡¯m just learning a few level-1 spells to use daily.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. If you have any problems in the academy in the future, come here and look for Grandpa. Grandpa will help you,¡± Wei Nuo looked at Li Wei and said sincerely. Hearing this, Li Wei nodded his head and thanked him before leaving the library. Li Wei walked on the cobblestone path and walked straight to his own courtyard. Suddenly, the conversation between the couple on the bench next to him attracted Li Wei¡¯s attention. ¡°I heard that the official student selection will begin in a month.¡± ¡°Sigh, what does that have to do with us? Without sufficient strength and potential, we can only watch others perform.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t say that. We still have a chance in the future!¡± ¡°Forget it. In another year, you¡¯ll be eighteen. If you still don¡¯t pass by then, you¡¯ll have to wait to do chores with the instructor.¡± ¡°I really envy those people!¡± When Li Wei heard these words, the sense of urgency in his heart intensified. He was already eighteen this year. This was his last chance. After returning to the dormitory, Li Wei first memorized the spiritual detection training method. Then, he used the system to change the time, directly bringing his proficiency to the maximum. He could detect a straight line of ten meters. Following that, Li Wei began to cultivate his battle spirit. The most important thing to cultivate the battle spirit was to find a stream of energy that was unique to him. Then, he would use the cultivation method to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to strengthen his battle spirit. The process of searching for energy took Li Wei half a month. Then, he followed the cultivation method for a whole week. After that, he used the system to adjust the production time of his battle spirit for fifteen years. At this moment, the combat aura in Li Wei¡¯s body was circulating crazily and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth surged into his body. Li Wei also broke through from a small combat aura to the perfection of a basic knight in an instant, directly throwing away his magic cultivation by a whole realm. Li Wei did not stop. He began to modify the combat technique that he had long memorized in his mind. In an instant, the fighting technique also began to be integrated. At this moment, Li Wei finally had the state of being able to fight against the disciples of the real odd-job students. After Li Wei stopped his cheat-like training, he suddenly remembered that he was learning a sword technique, but he did not even have a sword. Li Wei wanted a magic sword. The magic sword could transmit the battle spirit and increase the power of the fighting technique. This way, his strength could be improved again, and he would have more confidence in the official student selection. Li Wei knew that the value of the magic sword was not cheap. It could easily cost several thousand gold coins and he urgently needed to earn money. However, it was as difficult as climbing to the sky to obtain those gold coins in the academy. Li Wei decided to go to the Magical Beast Forest tomorrow to see if there were any ways to earn money. Although there would be a certain amount of danger, as the saying goes, wealth comes from danger. The next day, Li Wei went to apply for leave at dawn. Then, he prepared some dried food and set off for the Magical Beast Forest alone.. Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Vigil City was located at the northern border of the Spano Province, bordering the Magical Beast Forest. This was a three-tiered area in the Spano Province. Rumor had it that the Vigil City Lord was an extremely powerful knight. The kingdom had sent him here to prevent the magical beast riot. Although this was a lawless zone, the people who came here would follow an unspoken rule, which was to try their best not to fight in the city. After all, this was the resting place of countless people who had pursued their dreams or came here for training. One evening, a travel-worn young man with a longsword on his back walked into Vigil City. The young man looked at the city gate with a tired face and said, ¡°I¡¯m finally here!¡± This person was Li Wei, who had come all the way from the Spano Academy. Li Wei had been on his way since he left the academy. Although Langdon City, where Spano Academy was located, was close to this place, Li Wei had still walked for a whole day. Li Wei could not help but feel lucky that he had chosen to cultivate his battle spirit. If he was still that weak half-baked magician, then he would really be exhausted from walking so far by himself. As for why he did not hire a carriage, it was because Li Wei was too poor. Li Wei¡¯s few gold coins had already been used to buy the longsword that was produced by the dwarves. This longsword was sharp. It could be said that it could cut through iron like mud, not a magic sword. The remaining few silver coins were not enough to hire a carriage. Li Wei carried the longsword on his back and walked into the city. He immediately experienced the different atmosphere compared to Langdon City. There were taverns everywhere and mercenaries drinking cheap rum. Everyone on the street was talking about who had obtained something in the Magical Beast Forest. The feeling of the city of adventures filled Li Wei with curiosity. Li Wei walked and looked around. Finally, he found a cheap hotel that only cost three silver coins a night and provided breakfast and dinner. Of course, the price was not cheap. In other cities, many people¡¯s monthly salary was only five silver coins. After Li Wei paid the money, he followed the waiter into his room. The interior was similar to the standard room of the hotel in his previous life. Li Wei simply tidied up and went downstairs to eat in the restaurant. The interior of the restaurant was a bit like the bar in his previous life. There was a cocktail reception desk and some small tables. Of course, there was no noisy music here. The restaurant was full of mercenaries or adventurers who were alone. They gathered in groups of two or three and were discussing the harvest or adventures in the Magical Beast Forest. When they saw Li Wei wearing the school uniform of the Spano Academy, they were curious. ¡°This kid came out of school so early to gain experience?¡± ¡°Is this called experience? Isn¡¯t he here to die? Look at the clothes on his body. He shouldn¡¯t even be a magician before he came out. Isn¡¯t this courting death?¡± ¡°Not necessarily. What if it¡¯s someone pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger? Don¡¯t forget that some freakish students in the past had this kind of boring and evil taste.¡± ¡°It would be good if that kind of freakish student only appears once every few decades or even a hundred years. How is this kid possible?¡± The name, Spano Academy, was still very well-known. The students often came here to train. However, it was the first time for the odd-job students, so Li Wei¡¯s appearance caused a stir in the entire restaurant. Li Wei did not pay any attention to the gossip. He just quietly took a bowl of rice and a glass of fruit juice before sitting in a corner and starting to eat. ¡°See? If it really is those geniuses, how could there be no reaction when we say this?¡± ¡°Shh, don¡¯t say too much. The fact that they were able to enter the Spano Academy means that they are much stronger than us at that time, okay?¡± ¡°Sigh, that¡¯s true.¡± Ever since Li Wei entered, these words had never stopped. It was either envy of his identity or disdain toward Li Wei. As for why those people could tell at a glance that Li Wei had studied magic, that was because although the Spano Academy and the Battle Spirit Academy were in the same academy ground, almost all the students were learning magic. The Battle Spirit Academy only had one student every few years. Sometimes, there were even no students for more than ten years because the academy only recruited the creme of the crop. Every time, the academy¡¯s students were able to rise to fame within an extremely short period. All these years, no one had heard that the Battle Spirit Academy had recruited disciples. In the dining hall, Li Wei talked about some of the geniuses of the Spano Academy. ¡°Spano Academy? A magician isn¡¯t that outstanding. They can only rely on a few years to produce a stronger knight to maintain their reputation as a trash academy.¡± Everyone was shocked when they heard this. This was indeed the truth, but no one had ever dared to mention it. Everyone in the restaurant looked toward the source of the voice. After seeing it, everyone looked relieved. At the entrance stood three young men in school uniforms. The one who spoke was the leader of the three. Li Wei was also a little surprised when he saw the three people. He did not understand why the people from Cassano Academy would cross the province to come here. Cassano Academy was an academy that specialized in magic. Its overall strength was much stronger than that of Spano Academy. It could easily enter the top five of the kingdom. ¡°What are you looking at? A bunch of low-level mercenaries.¡± Everyone was furious but did not dare to say anything. This was because Cassano Academy was also a noble academy. Every student had a unique background and they could not afford to offend them. Seeing the group of people who did not dare to speak, the three geniuses also arrogantly went upstairs to the private room of the restaurant. After the three of them left, the restaurant was filled with whispers, cursing the three of them in low voices. After Li Wei finished eating, he quickly returned to his room and began to rest. He wanted to adjust himself to his best condition before going to the Magical Beast Forest. The next morning, Li Wei carried his longsword and walked out of the hotel. If those people from yesterday saw him, they would definitely be shocked. He was really a knight from the Spano Academy. Li Wei carried his longsword on his back and walked into Magical Beast Forest. For the whole morning, Li Wei had only killed some fierce beasts. He had not seen any real magical beasts. Of course, after a whole morning of high-intensity hunting, even if it was just fierce beasts, Li Wei was a little tired. Just when Li Wei was about to turn around and go back to rest for a while, a red figure suddenly jumped out from the side. Li Wei subconsciously pulled out his sword and slashed horizontally. That figure dodged it at an unbelievable angle. When that figure stood still, Li Wei discovered that it was a level-1 magical beast, the Blazing Flame Wolf. The Blazing Flame Wolf looked at Li Wei warily. Its front claws rubbed the ground, preparing for the next attack. Li Wei also quietly circulated his battle spirit, preparing to give this beast who did not care about martial morality a fatal blow. Suddenly, the Blazing Flame Wolf moved and charged at Li Wei at an extremely fast speed. Li Wei also circulated more than half of his battle spirit and used the Flame Sun technique. In an instant, the blade of the sword turned bright red. It emitted a light that was like the sun as it slashed toward the Blazing Flame Wolf. The moment the two came into contact, the Blazing Flame Wolf was cut into two halves. Li Wei looked at the dead Blazing Flame Wolf and used his longsword to dismember it once again. When Li Wei dissected the Blazing Flame Wolf, he found that there was a light in the wolf¡¯s head. It seemed to be a magic crystal.. Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Magic crystals are the condensation of the cultivation of magical beasts. However, not all magical beasts can breed magic crystals. The magic crystals produced by level-1 magical beasts are even rarer. Li Wei did not expect to encounter such good luck on his first try. He quickly put away the magic crystal. Meanwhile, the three students from the Cassano Academy also arrived at the Magical Beast Forest early in the morning. At such a young age, they were already beginner-level magicians. The leader called Udir had even reached the peak of a beginner-level magician. There was hope that he could become an intermediate-level magician at the age of eighteen. Udir had led his two underlings to kill wild beasts in the Magical Beast Forest for the entire morning, but they had not gained anything. This was a mission given by their teacher. Each of them was tasked to kill one magical beast. After walking for the entire morning, they had worn out their feet and still had not found a single magical beast. ¡°Boss, let¡¯s go back to the hotel to rest. After walking for half a day, we haven¡¯t even seen a single magical beast,¡± one of the underlings said with a bitter face. He did not understand why his teacher wanted him to do such a thing since he was a noble magician. ¡°Sigh, let¡¯s take a walk. If we still haven¡¯t encountered anything in half an hour, we¡¯ll go back and rest,¡± Udir also said with a tired face. This kind of forest activity was really torturous for these pampered magician students. After a while, they still found nothing. Udir could only helplessly take his two underlings and walk out of the Magical Beast Forest. Just as they were about to go back, they suddenly heard the sound of a fierce collision not far away. The three of them looked at each other and decided to go find out what happened. They could not kill a magical beast by themselves, so watching others fight against a magical beast could be considered as learning. However, after that collision, there was no more sound. Then, they saw Li Wei, who was cleaning up the corpse of the Blazing Flame Wolf. They also happened to see Li Wei putting the magic crystal into his pocket. Seeing this scene, the underling could not help but say, ¡°Big Brother, that kid¡¯s luck is really good. He got a magic crystal. Even if it¡¯s just a beginner-level magic crystal, it can be exchanged for thousands of gold coins.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Big Brother. I didn¡¯t think that this fellow from the Spano Academy would be so lucky. He was able to kill the Blazing Flame Wolf alone, and even got a magic crystal.¡± ¡°What do you mean he got a magic crystal? That magic crystal is ours!¡± A hint of greed flashed through Udir¡¯s eyes. ¡°Big Brother, what do you mean?¡± ¡°What else could it mean? Do it!¡± Just as Li Wei was about to pack up the Blazing Flame Wolf¡¯s fur and prepare to take it away, a voice came from beside him. ¡°Brother, you killed the Blazing Flame Wolf that we were chasing after. You even took the battle treasure with you. Isn¡¯t that a little inappropriate?¡± Li Wei raised his head and looked over. He realized that they were the few students from the Cassano Academy. ¡°This magical beast was killed by me, so the things naturally belong to me. What does it have to do with you?¡± Naturally, Li Wei was not willing to compromise. How could he not see that these people were only interested in money after seeing the magic crystal? ¡°I advise you to hand over the magic crystal or else don¡¯t blame us for not being polite,¡± Udir¡¯s lackey on the left pointed at Li Wei and said. ¡°Not being polite?¡± Li Wei looked at the three of them with a playful expression. ¡°Looks like you really don¡¯t want to hand over the magic crystal. Then, don¡¯t blame us. Learn to be a sensible person in your next life!¡± As Urdir spoke, he began to chant a spell, wanting to use magic to attack Li Wei. The two underlings beside him were also actively chanting the spell, planning to use their numbers to bully Li Wei. However, they did not expect Li Wei to quickly lower his body to pick up the longsword on the ground. Then, he rushed over at an extremely fast speed. They also realized that this guy was actually a knight and not a magician. It was all their fault that they were too anxious when they saw the magic crystal and did not see the longsword on the ground. At this time, the three of them quickly stopped the spell chant, wanting to widen the distance between them and fight with Li Wei. Would Li Wei not know what they knew? Li Wei held the longsword and charged forward at his fastest speed. How could a few weak magicians be a match for a knight in close combat? Before they could even take a few steps back, Li Wei had already caught up with them. Li Wei slashed at the three of them with his Blazing Sun sword. A violent explosion sounded. Li Wei could not help but be confused. There was not even such a big commotion in the battle with the Blazing Flame Wolf just now. What was going on? For a moment, dust flew everywhere. Li Wei held his sword with both hands and looked in front of him vigilantly. He could feel that these people were not dead. It was not until the dust had dispersed that Li Wei saw the situation of these people clearly. It turned out that these people had already been knocked unconscious by the aftershock of the explosion. Li Wei stabbed them one by one. He knew very well that the root of the problem had to be removed. Otherwise, in the future, the one who would be in trouble would be him. Li Wei looked at the scroll in Udir¡¯s hand and understood what was going on. This scroll could store magic. The production of this kind of scroll usually required the assistance of a strong person. The few of them should be holding a level-2 magic scroll in their hands. It was likely that the few of them felt that their lives were in danger so they threw out this scroll. However, they did not expect that Li Wei¡¯s battle spirit would come so quickly. The collision of the forces eventually caused an explosion and knocked them out. Li Wei could not help but think that he was lucky. If they had used the magic scroll to launch a sneak attack at him, he would have lost. Li Wei understood that they had underestimated him because they thought that he was a magician. Therefore, should he make good use of this to trick them? Of course, at the same time, his hands were not idle. He was looting their properties. He did not expect these people to have two expensive magic scrolls. They even had hundreds of gold coins on them. This was a windfall. After tidying up these things, Li Wei¡¯s attention was attracted by a seed on Udir¡¯s body. The seed was transparent like jade. It was obvious that it was a treasure, but Li Wei did not know what it was. Li Wei decided to find a professional appraiser to take a look at it later. After taking care of the treasures, Li Wei threw their bodies into a river and wiped away the traces of the battle before he left. He did not know the identities of the three, but he knew that they carried magic scrolls with them. It was obvious that they had a unique background. Their families must not know that they had died. At this time, in a luxurious castle in Cassano Province, a middle-aged man was crazily smashing things.. Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Who is it? Who dares to kill my son?¡± A middle-aged man roared furiously. ¡°Sir, things have already happened. It¡¯s useless for you to be angry. What¡¯s important now is to quickly find out who the murderer is,¡± an old man who looked like a butler beside him said softly. ¡°Okay, then go to Cassano Academy and ask what¡¯s going on!¡± the middle-aged man who had calmed his emotions said through gritted teeth. ¡­ After returning to the hotel, Li Wei washed up briefly, cleaning off the dust and bloody smell on his body. Then, he hurriedly walked out of the hotel again. Li Wei came to the Vigil Exchange. It was said that this was the property of the City Lord. The price here was reasonable. Moreover, if one bought precious items here, they could also receive the protection of the City Lord. A group of adventurers could not help but be surprised when they saw Li Wei, a child wearing academy clothes, come over. One of the brawny men even laughed and said, ¡°Little brat, we don¡¯t accept the fur of fierce beasts here.¡± ¡°Hahahaha, what if he¡¯s here to buy things?¡± ¡°Then just pretend I didn¡¯t say anything.¡± The group of burly men teased Li Wei. Li Wei had obtained a windfall and was happy in his heart, so he replied the burly man, ¡°Don¡¯t worry Uncle, I¡¯m not here to sell wild beast fur.¡± After saying that, he walked to the front desk. The group of people also followed curiously, wanting to see what this little fellow was up to. ¡°Hello Sir, is there anything I can help you with?¡± The front desk had undergone special training and would not judge a book by its cover. Instead, he asked Li Wei with a very standardized smile. ¡°I¡¯m here to sell these things.¡± Li Wei opened the big bag behind him. Inside were the materials and fur of the magical beasts. ¡°Sir, this is the fur of the Blazing Flame Wolf, its claws, and teeth, right? I didn¡¯t expect you to be able to hunt magical beasts alone at such a young age. I¡¯ll start to estimate the price for you now,¡± the receptionist said with some surprise. The rest of the people who knew about this also fell into a state of shock. They were definitely stronger than Li Wei but they did not have the ability to hunt magical beasts alone when they were less than twenty years old. Although it was said that battle spirit was easier to train, those who trained in it would usually slowly polish their cultivation at the early stages to establish a solid foundation. They were not in a hurry to break through. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that I was wrong too,¡± the burly man who was the first to speak mockingly said in surprise. While they were in shock, they noticed that Li Wei had taken out something that looked like a stone from his pocket. ¡°Magic crystal!¡± the burly man could not help but exclaim in surprise. One had to know that people like him dealt with magical beasts every day, but the income from it was pitifully low. He did not expect this guy to be able to harvest magic crystals just by killing a level-1 magical beast. At this time, the front desk was also in a state of shock. One had to know that the probability of a level-1 magical beast producing magic crystals was no less than the probability of a person suddenly finding out that he had inherited his grandfather¡¯s tens of millions of wealth! ¡°Young lady, may I ask how much money I can get?¡± Li Wei asked with a grin. Then, he turned around and gave the brawny man a provocative smile. When the brawny man saw it, he also smiled embarrassingly. ¡°Ah, this is 1,002 gold coins and the magic crystals are worth 1,000 gold coins. Those furs are damaged, so there are only 2 gold coins,¡± the service staff at the front desk immediately said. ¡°Then, do you have a professional appraiser here? I want to appraise something,¡± Li Wei asked. ¡°Yes, but the appraiser costs dozens of gold coins every time he appears. Little Brother, are you sure you want to call him?¡± ¡°Go ahead, deduct it from the total amount later,¡± Li Wei said indifferently. Hearing this, the front desk moved a magic device on the cabinet. Every time Li Wei saw these magic devices, he was amazed. The technology here was similar to his previous life. Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing a magician¡¯s robe walked out from behind. There were three silver lines on the magician¡¯s robe, indicating that this person was a high-level magician. The man came to the front desk and said to Li Wei expressionlessly, ¡°Young man, do you have anything to appraise?¡± Li Wei took out the seed in his pocket and handed it to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man picked up the seed and studied it for a while, then looked at Li Wei with a strange expression. ¡°Young man, I don¡¯t know if you¡¯re lucky or not. This seed of ambergris grass is indeed a treasure, but it takes thousands of years for it to mature. So, to us humans, it¡¯s just a collection.¡± Li Wei understood immediately. To put it bluntly, unless this thing matured, it would be useless. To ordinary people, this thing might be useless, but don¡¯t forget that Li Wei was a cheat. As long as his cultivation was sufficient, he could obtain the mature ambergris grass in a minute. ¡°Thank you, please prepare the bill. I¡¯m leaving,¡± Li Wei said. The middle-aged man did not say anything and just turned around and walked back. Then, Li Wei took his bag of gold coins and walked back to the hotel. The group of adventurers looked at each other in dismay. Li Wei summoned the system when he returned to the hotel. Then, he made another modification to his combat aura and spiritual power. ¡°Ding! Modification failed.¡± Li Wei quickly asked the reason for the failure. ¡°This system only allows you to modify an item once per realm.¡± ¡°My cultivation has clearly broken through!¡± Li Wei asked with some confusion. ¡°Please take note, host. Apprentice magicians haven¡¯t stepped into the realm of a real magician, so they cannot be counted as two realms!¡± ¡°What about my combat aura? I¡¯m a beginner knight now.¡± ¡°The combat aura system hasn¡¯t been integrated into the system at the moment.¡± Hearing this, Li Wei could not help but be speechless. This system was too inhuman. As if hearing Li Wei¡¯s ridicule, the cold mechanical voice of the system sounded automatically once again. ¡°Ding, detected that the host needs a combat aura template. Starting to download the combat aura patches now.¡± Hearing this, Li Wei¡¯s hope was ignited again. It seemed that his life of hacking would not stop. Just like that, Li Wei waited until dawn, when the system finally finished downloading the patch. ¡°Now, you can modify my combat aura and spiritual power, right?¡± ¡°Ding, the modification failed.¡± ¡°Why did it fail again?¡± Li Wei could not help but break down. ¡°The combat aura realm is calculated from the host¡¯s current realm. Currently, the host still has the same authority as before. The host can only unlock the next level of authority after becoming an intermediate knight.¡± The system¡¯s cold voice was like a bucket of cold water falling on Li Wei¡¯s head. After a long time, Li Wei finally calmed down. Now that he was only one step away from becoming an intermediate knight, it was possible for him to train hard. Then, Li Wei sat cross-legged on the bed and began to train. He had not slept for the whole night, so he could not go out hunting today.. Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Once Li Wei started cultivating, he was immersed in it, enjoying the comfortable feeling. Only when the sky had turned dark did Li Wei slowly stop the circulation of his battle spirit. Opening his eyes, Li Wei felt a little depressed. He originally thought that even if the cultivation of his battle spirit was not smooth, there should not be a huge barrier. At the very least, his combat power had reached the perfection of a basic knight. Should not he be able to break through it easily? Why did he still feel like he had encountered a barrier? Although it was impossible to break through the barrier without spiritual power, there were still some difficulties. After thinking for a long time, Li Wei did not hesitate anymore. He got up and went downstairs to eat. As soon as Li Wei went downstairs, he found that the restaurant today was not as noisy as yesterday. There was an old man standing in the middle of the restaurant. The old man had a long beard and was wearing a simple blue magician robe. There was a golden pattern on the chest of the old magician. This was a standard robe issued by the Magician Guild, which meant that the old man was a water element magician. In this social system where the status of magicians was extremely high, it was already rare to see a high-level magician. Li Wei was surprised to see a magician here. This caused everyone in the restaurant to stop their discussion and turn to look at this person. This old man was the Vice Dean of the Cassano Academy. He had once led a team to Spano Academy for an exchange between the two academies. At that time, the venue was cleaned up by Li Wei, so he had a deep impression of this old man. This kind of person obviously would not come here for no reason. He must have come to investigate the deaths of those three people. ¡°Young man, do you know me?¡± The old man felt that Li Wei¡¯s spiritual fluctuation was different from that of ordinary people, so he asked him. ¡°Dear Vice Dean, how do you do? I¡¯m an odd-job student of the Spano Academy. Previously, when you brought a team to our academy to exchange ideas, I was fortunate enough to meet you,¡± Li Wei said respectfully. ¡°Oh? I didn¡¯t expect you to remember me, young man. Then, I wonder if you have met the three students of our academy?¡± the old man asked kindly. ¡°I have seen the three students of your academy, but I haven¡¯t seen them since I went to the Magical Beast Forest to train yesterday. Today, I have been cultivating, so I haven¡¯t seen them.¡± Li Wei told part of the truth. He did not dare to lie in front of such a person with strong spiritual power as he was akin to a human lie detector. The old man carefully observed Li Wei¡¯s spiritual fluctuation and found that there was nothing unusual. Moreover, he could also detect that Li Wei was a low-level knight, and the three of the students from Cassano Academy had magic scrolls. Li Wei¡¯s strength was not enough to kill the three of them. The old man looked at Li Wei and said, ¡°Young man, you¡¯re from the Battle Spirit Department, right? This bottle of wine is for you. This is the elf clan¡¯s medicinal wine. It can help others to train their battle spirit.¡± Li Wei was stunned. He did not know what the old man meant. The old man did not have any other intentions. He just wanted to build a good relationship with a powerful genius. ¡°Take it, young man. It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve seen a good seedling. I just want to help you.¡± Hearing this, Li Wei no longer refused and directly accepted it. The old man nodded his head in satisfaction and then went to ask others. For the next few days, the old man stayed in Vigil City, constantly wandering around the city and the Magical Beast Forest. The old man asked many people, but most of them had never seen the three people. Even the people who had seen them said the same thing as Li Wei. As for asking people to help find them, no one was willing to do. This was because the three students from the Cassano Academy had been arrogant and had offended many people in the city. Asking them to help was as difficult as climbing up to the sky. At the end, the old man who had gained nothing could only decide to return to the academy. During this time, Li Wei did his best to reduce his presence. He did not want to appear too different, which would make the old man suspicious. These days, Li Wei did not gain anything. He just killed a few magic beasts. However, he had befriended a teammate. It was an adventurer who had mocked Li Wei at the beginning of the exchange. At that time, Li Wei was hunting a magic beast and found Victor who was fighting with a level-3 magic beast, the Shadow Magic Leopard. In the end, when both were exhausted, the Shadow Magic Leopard used its last bit of strength trying to kill Victor. Fortunately, Li Wei saved Victor with a fireball. At the same time, after a tough battle, Victor successfully killed the Shadow Magic Leopard. To thank Li Wei, Victor gave the Shadow Magic Leopard to Li Wei. Although the Shadow Magic Leopard did not produce any magic crystals, it was still very valuable, allowing Li Wei to obtain 100 gold coins. After that, the two formed a small team, and they ventured out together every day. The treasures they obtained were split equally between the two of them. This also made Li Wei¡¯s income different from before. ¡°I say, Brother, you¡¯re too fierce. A beginner knight can already kill a level-2 magical beast. You¡¯re simply abnormal,¡± Victor gulped down a large mouthful of rum and said loudly. ¡°It¡¯s no big deal,¡± Li Wei laughed lightly and replied. ¡°Abnormal!¡± What Victor said was true. Victor was a high-level knight and was already at the peak at his level. However, he was almost killed by a low-level Shadow Magic Leopard. Magic beasts of the same level were already stronger than humans. Now that someone was able to kill magic beasts of a higher level, what else could he be but a monster? After eating and drinking, the two of them went back to their residences. Tomorrow, they planned to hunt a magic beast at the peak of level-3. Today, Li Wei decided to drink the wine that he had modified the time of maturity. He wanted to see if he could become an intermediate knight by tomorrow. Li Wei sat on the bed and drank the wine. There was no spicy taste in his mouth. Instead, there was a sour and sweet taste mixed with a fragrant fruit flavor. Then, Li Wei felt that his battle spirit had a strange movement. Li Wei hurriedly circulated it according to the cultivation method, and the speed of circulation was countless times faster than usual. After circulating it for a few great cycles, he directly wrapped up more than half of his battle spirit and began to attack the barrier. However, the invisible barrier was extremely tough and did not move at all. Li Wei did not give up. Instead, he organized his battle spirit repeatedly to attack the barrier. Fortunately, after fifteen years of modification, the elven secret wine was full of spiritual energy and could support Li Wei to attack the barrier. When the sky had just brightened, a kacha sound finally sounded. He had broken through! At this moment, the power of the secret wine entered his battle spirit bit by bit. Li Wei could clearly feel that his battle spirit was growing stronger. There was not enough time. He and Victor would definitely succeed. Li Wei secretly encouraged himself.. Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li Wei and Victor met at the agreed place and then set off for the territory of the Raging Flame Lion. The Raging Flame Lion was resting when it suddenly saw two humans walking into its territory. It stood up and stared at them. It felt a sense of danger from these humans. The two of them stood still and pulled out the longsword on their backs. They stared at the Raging Flame Lion. Today, the two of them could not make any mistakes. Otherwise, they would be the ones who would die. The two of them secretly circulated their battle spirit. Victor suddenly shot out like an arrow from the mysterious sky. This was their plan. Victor trained in a wind attribute cultivation method. At the same time, he also trained in his own battle technique. He would be the one to pin down the Raging Flame Lion while Li Wei would be the one attacking it. Victor and the Raging Flame Lion were soon entangled together. Li Wei shot fireballs occasionally and slashed his Blazing Sun sword. Attacks continuously bombarded the lion¡¯s body. The Raging Flame Lion wanted to chase after Li Wei but he retreated with a single strike. Then, Victor would rush forward to pin down the lion. This made it impossible for the Raging Flame Lion to chase after Li Wei. For a moment, not only was the Raging Flame lion unable to do anything to the two of them, but it was also receiving blows, adding wounds to its body. The furious lion swung its claws and took a few steps back. Then, it opened its mouth and was about to release an energy bomb. Just as the Raging Flame Lion was about to unleash its ultimate skill, the Flame Bomb, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky. It was Li Wei. Li Wei gathered his battle spirit and punched the Raging Flame Lion¡¯s head. The Flame Bomb exploded in the lion¡¯s mouth. The aftershock of the explosion blew Li Wei more than ten meters away and hit a tree before he fell to the ground. Li Wei could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He was slightly injured. Then, he turned his head to look in the direction of the explosion. He saw that the originally majestic lion¡¯s body had been blown apart and was torn into pieces. Fortunately, a sparkling item was seen. ¡°It¡¯s done, Big Brother Victor!¡± Li Wei said excitedly. The reason why the two of them took the risk to kill the Raging Flame Lion was that Li Wei¡¯s magic sword needed the last material, which was the magic crystal of a level-3 Fire Element Magic Beast. Thanks to Victor, Li Wei could have his long-awaited magic sword. Victor had saved an alchemist before, so the two of them became good friends. That person only asked Li Wei to find the materials himself and did not accept any other payment. The two quickly cleaned up the battlefield and walked back. After Victor returned, he took the materials and went to look for that alchemist. As for Li Wei, he went back to the hotel to recuperate. In the next few days, Li Wei did not go out hunting. Instead, he continued to recuperate as his internal organs were injured during the final explosion in the battle with the Raging Flame Lion. Finally, on the thirteenth day, Li Wei¡¯s magic sword was ready. Victor had personally delivered it to him. After all, this magic sword was a treasure worth 50,000 to 60,000 gold coins. He was not at ease giving it to others. Li Wei was pleasantly surprised when he received the magic sword that looked like a magic wand on the outside but was actually a thin sword on the inside. His purpose of coming here had finally been achieved. He could finally go back. The next day, Li Wei packed his belongings, took his magic crystal card, and held the ¡°magic wand¡± in his hand. After bidding farewell to Victor, he left Vigil City. Spano Academy. This was the academy¡¯s once-a-year lively day. It was the day of the recruitment and the selection of the odd-job students. Li Wei had finally rushed back before the selection and registered his name. The selection competition had begun. One needed to reach the peak of the apprentice magician realm at the age of eighteen. This was something that only a few odd-job students could achieve. Including Li Wei, only six people had registered. The selection competition had officially begun! The first person to go on stage was one of the top five geniuses among the odd-job students ¨C Sweet. His strength was at the level of an apprentice magician. The preliminary round was very simple. As long as he could defeat the puppet of the same realm, he would pass. Sweet¡¯s appearance attracted a group of odd-job students¡¯ exclamations and discussions. ¡°Is that Sweet?¡± ¡°He¡¯s really handsome!¡± ¡°Do you think he can pass the test?¡± ¡°What are you thinking? How can such a genius fail this test?¡± ¡­ When Sweet heard this, he was also full of confidence in his own strength. The teacher who was in charge of acting as the referee and lifeguard signaled for the match to begin. Sweet quickly entered his state of mind. Then, he began to chant. The puppet raised his hand and threw a Wind Blade at him. Instant magic! Sweet was shocked. This was not how it used to be! He quickly dodged to the side. Although Sweet had dodged, the spell was interrupted by the sudden Wind Blade. Sweet had to adjust his breathing and recited the spell again. Just as Sweet¡¯s spell was about to end, another Wind Blade swept over. Once again, Sweet¡¯s spell was interrupted. This time, the referee did not give Sweet a chance, but directly announced Sweet as defeated. ¡°Why?! I haven¡¯t been defeated yet!¡± Sweet shouted unwillingly. ¡°The recitation speed of your level-1 spell is even faster than that of the puppet¡¯s level-2 spell. Magicians need to fight, not a stray dog that only knows how to dodge. You¡¯ve already lost!¡± the referee said with a cold face. Hearing this, Sweet did not know how to refute and just stood there in a daze. ¡°Go down, there¡¯s still the next round. Don¡¯t be discouraged, you still have a chance next year.¡± Sweet walked down the stage with a livid expression. He did not expect that the selection this year would be so strict. Immediately after, the fourth-ranked person went on stage. This person was much smarter than Sweet. After he was mentally prepared, he dodged while reciting the spell. Finally, when the puppet released the wind blade, he also released the same. Then, the fourth genius¡¯ Wind Blade directly cut through the puppet¡¯s Wind Blade and hit the puppet¡¯s body. The referee announced that the fourth genius had advanced. Then, the third genius went on stage. The third genius was a cute girl with blue hair. She wanted to learn the fourth genius¡¯ trick to break the situation. However, she was a water magician. In the end, the water ball was cut open by the Wind Blade, and she was defeated regretfully. The referee looked at her speechlessly and said, ¡°If you had used water bullets, you would¡¯ve won.¡± The young girl scratched her head in embarrassment and said, ¡°I was so anxious that I forgot the spell of water bullets.¡± This sentence made the audience burst into laughter. ¡°Next, let¡¯s invite Swire on stage.¡± Just a single name was enough to make everyone in the hall exclaim in surprise.. It was because Swire was the number one genius among these odd-job students! Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Swire was a golden-haired, blue-eyed, hawk-nosed, handsome, and well-endowed young man. There was a certain amount of controversy regarding the ranking of the second to fifth geniuses among the odd-job students. Their strength was actually not much different where only a small mistake would cause the ranking to change. In the first place, Swire was definitely worthy of his name. Among the odd-job students, no one who could compare to him. Even official students were no match to him. Swire had a dual-attribute talent that was rarely seen in a hundred years. Moreover, it was the wind and fire attributes. He could cast a terrifying mix of magic. In addition, his magic cultivation was also extremely terrifying. At the age of sixteen, he had already become an intermediate magician. It was said that Swire was a special student of the Spano Academy. One time, due to his arrogance, he was kicked out to be a part-time student. Although Swire was also an odd-job student, he had never worked as one. Instead, he was like an official student, taking classes and cultivating in the academy every day. ¡°Swire is definitely the number one among the students who have upgraded this year.¡± ¡°Not necessarily. Don¡¯t forget that puppets can release spells of the same level as them.¡± ¡°So what? Don¡¯t forget that Swire can release a combination of spells. Level-3 combination spells have the power of level-4.¡± ¡°If Swire isn¡¯t number one, I really can¡¯t think of anyone else who would be number one.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Swire is a dual-attribute talent that hasn¡¯t appeared in the academy for hundreds of years. If he isn¡¯t number one, who else could it be?¡± ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± Most of the people in the audience were surprisingly unanimous in their evaluation of Swire. Those who did not think highly of Swire were just jealous. They could not do it on their own nor did they want others to do it. When they spoke, there was a sour taste in their mouths. Seeing that his appearance on the stage made everyone in the audience look amazed and envious, Swire could not help but smile. Swire bowed slightly to the audience and said, ¡°Please be quiet and watch my performance carefully!¡± ¡°Wow! He¡¯s so handsome and polite.¡± Not only did Swire¡¯s words stop the crowd from making noise, but they also made some of the female students even crazier. As for the male students, they were envious of this scene and hoped that they could also win the hearts of beautiful women like this. However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that although Swire looked polite, his arrogance could not be concealed. However, the referees did not say anything. A genius should be arrogant. Otherwise, if he was mediocre, then what kind of genius would he be? ¡°Alright, Swire, stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and start.¡± Although the referee was urging Swire, there was no harsh tone in his words. ¡°Alright, Teacher, please activate the puppet.¡± ¡°Then get ready.¡± The teacher was also very appreciative of Swire¡¯s attitude toward him. Swire was so talented, neither arrogant nor impatient. He was simply a perfect student. The battle began! The puppet still followed the same routine as before but this time, the puppet cast a level-3 spell. It was a fire-type spell, Fire Phoenix. The fire elements in the air quickly condensed into the shape of a fire-type phoenix. The Fire Phoenix was small and exquisite, only about ten centimeters long. However, there was no doubt about its destructive power. Then, it crashed straight toward Swire. The speed of the Fire Phoenix was twice as fast as the Wind Blade. Swire would definitely not be able to dodge the Fire Phoenix¡¯s attack. Seeing this scene, Swire did not panic and began to chant a level-2 wind shield spell. ¡°Happy wind elements, please gather around me and form a barrier to protect me.¡± The light green wind shield had just taken shape when the Fire Phoenix had already crashed into it. Facing the powerful Fire Phoenix, the wind shield only lasted for ten seconds before it shattered. However, in this short ten seconds, Swire cast another level-2 spell ¨C Windwalk. With the support of Windwalk, Swire dodged the Fire Phoenix¡¯s attack the moment the wind shield shattered. ¡°Damn, this magic connection speed!¡± one of the spectators exclaimed. Seeing this scene, the referee nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, it was time for the normal competition of magic. The puppet stood still and did not move. Swire, on the other hand, chanted an incantation with a solemn face. ¡°Wind element of freedom, please listen to my call. Jump actively and help the exploding fire element so that it can start a prairie fire!¡± As the incantation was finished, the wind gradually blew on the stage, and then wisps of flames gradually appeared. The flame borrowed the force of the wind and grew stronger bit by bit. In the end, it directly attacked the puppet with the momentum of a prairie fire. At this time, there were still a few seconds left before the puppet was set to release its second spell. Just as it was about to attack the puppet, the referee immediately summoned a shower of rain to extinguish the flames on the stage. Instant-cast level-5 high-level rain spell! Li Wei, who had been watching the match calmly, was also a little surprised. It seemed that his academy was really full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons! This person looked young, but his strength was definitely that of a high-level magician. He was on the same level as the Vice Dean of the Cassano Academy. ¡°Alright, you won. Well done,¡± the referee said to Swire with a hint of praise. After hearing this, Swire bowed slightly and left the stage. ¡°It¡¯s finally over!¡± the people below the stage said. It was already noon so it was time for lunch. Just as everyone was about to leave, the referee¡¯s words made these people stay. ¡°Next, let¡¯s invite student Li Wei to the stage.¡± As the referee¡¯s voice rang out, the audience below exploded in chatters again. ¡°Why are there still people? Isn¡¯t there only five people who have completed their apprenticeship?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, there are five of them. Who is this Li Wei?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of him, but he must be a strong person who dared to sign up!¡± ¡°No, no, isn¡¯t Li Wei the one who stayed in the school for five years and was still an apprentice magician?¡± ¡°What, five years and still an apprentice magician? Is this talent? Is this person really here to participate in the selection? He can¡¯t be joking, right?¡± ¡°The teacher in charge of the registration couldn¡¯t have been bribed, right? Can this apprentice magician also register?¡± ¡­ The referee¡¯s mental strength was also extremely powerful. He could clearly hear the discussions below the stage. He could not help but cast a suspicious glance at the teacher in charge of the registration. However, that teacher also had a blank look on his face, indicating that he did not know either. At this time, the referee thought of a possibility, which was that Li Wei had falsely declared his cultivation. ¡°Li Wei, do you know what the consequences of falsely declaring one¡¯s cultivation are?¡± the referee turned his head and asked Li Wei sternly.. Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Don¡¯t worry, teachers, I definitely have the cultivation of a perfect apprentice magician. I won¡¯t joke about my student career,¡± Li Wei said with a smile. ¡°Then you meditate and let me feel your spiritual power!¡± The referee still did not believe him. Li Wei could only sit cross-legged on the ground helplessly and began to meditate. The referee carefully felt it and found that Li Wei¡¯s strength was indeed qualified. ¡°Alright, that¡¯s enough. Let¡¯s begin.¡± The referee used gentle spiritual energy to wake Li Wei up. Hearing this, Li Wei stood up and picked up his ¡°staff¡±, indicating to the referee that he was ready. As Li Wei was an apprentice magician, the puppet could only use level-1 magic. It was a very ordinary fireball spell, but it was completely different from ordinary people¡¯s. It was a fireball with a diameter of half a meter. ¡°Damn, this puppet also dislikes Li Wei. Does it want to kill him? This is a perfect fireball spell.¡± After all, they were all students of the Spano Academy. They all knew that a fireball spell with a diameter of half a meter was the limit that a human could reach. ¡°I wonder how Li Wei will deal with it.¡± ¡°Of course, he¡¯ll definitely dodge first!¡± However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, Li Wei did not dodge. Instead, he stood on the spot and chanted an incantation. These people only had one word in their minds: madman. If he was not a madman, who would fight with a fireball while standing on the spot and chanting an incantation? Just as the fireball was about to arrive, Li Wei finished chanting his incantation. A fireball with the same diameter of half a meter rose into the air and smashed straight toward the opposite side. Li Wei had cultivated the Fireball spell to perfection! Before everyone could react to this amazing feat, Li Wei¡¯s fireball had directly smashed through the puppet¡¯s fireball. Then, it rushed toward the puppet and finally exploded on its body. This puppet was just a simple device to release magic. It did not have any defense mechanism hence it was directly blown into pieces by Li Wei¡¯s fireball. This scene happened thanks to the magic staff in Li Wei¡¯s hand. Although it was both a magic staff and a sword, it was also engraved with a magic array to increase its power. For this magic array, Li Wei had used one level-2 magic crystal gold coin. Therefore, although Li Wei¡¯s fireball was the same size as the puppet¡¯s, there was no doubt that Li Wei¡¯s fireball was stronger and more solid. The referee did not expect this either. Moreover, Li Wei¡¯s fireball was too fast. He could not react at all. The others were so shocked that they could not speak. Li Wei was also stunned on the spot. Li Wei was not shocked by the power of his fireball, but he was afraid that the academy would ask him to compensate for the puppet. That would be a huge loss! ¡°I announce that the winner of this match is student Li Wei.¡± At this moment, the four people who had been promoted to official students were the fourth genius, second genius, first genius, and Li Wei. ¡°Teacher, I¡¯d like to ask, do you need me to pay for this puppet?¡± Li Wei weakly raised his hand and asked the referee. Li Wei¡¯s words also stumped the referee. He had not encountered such a question before. For a moment, he did not know what to answer. ¡°Students, please wait a moment. I¡¯ll go and ask the teachers of the Education Commission. I¡¯ll be back soon!¡± Li Wei stood where he was with a bitter expression. Although he had successfully become an official student, he felt a wave of discomfort when he thought about the gold coins that he had spent so much effort to save. Fortunately, the referee did not let everyone wait too long. Soon, he came back with a tutor. Li Wei knew that the tutor was a famous person in the academy. He was in charge of discipline issues, similar to the role of the Dean of Education in his previous life. His name was Clayderman. ¡°Ahem, I just watched the performance of these four students from the side. To be honest, they were all very wonderful, but there was only one person who truly amazed me¡­¡± as he said this, Clayderman paused for a moment. At this moment, everyone¡¯s hearts were hanging in the air. Everyone knew that he was about to announce who was the first place winner! ¡°That¡¯s our student Li Wei!¡± Once Clayderman finished speaking, the crowd immediately started to get rowdy. Everyone thought that the first place winner should be Swire, but they did not expect Li Wei to suddenly appear out of nowhere and snatch the first place. ¡°Alright, although everyone passed the test, they only passed the second stage. But Li Wei is different. He relied on his familiarity with incantations and the Fireball spell that far surpassed the puppet to obtain victory in the first stage. Therefore, the first place goes to Li Wei! So, does anyone still think that my decision is wrong?¡± Clayderman¡¯s words made a lot of sense. After all, Li Wei had displayed strength far beyond his peers. The people below could not do it. Even the so-called geniuses on the stage did not have the confidence to perfect a spell in a few years. At this moment, they also felt that Li Wei is worthy of the first place. ¡°Then I announce¡­¡± ¡°I refuse to accept it!¡± Just as Clayderman was about to announce the results, Swire¡¯s voice rang out. ¡°What do you have against it?¡± Clayderman asked Swire unhappily as he was a little angry that Swire had interrupted him. ¡°I refuse to accept it. I reached the level of an intermediate magician at the age of sixteen. He¡¯s already eighteen years old and is only an apprentice magician. How is he stronger than me? How can he win first place?¡± Swire asked loudly, no longer looking as elegant and polite as before. ¡°Just based on the fact that his magic incantation is only a split second away from an instant cast. Can you do it? In a battle between magicians, once one side finishes casting the first spell, the other side will fall into a passive state. This kind of passive state is no less than a slow death. Therefore, I feel that in terms of battle performance, student Li Wei is undoubtedly more outstanding!¡± Clayderman patiently explained although he was displeased. ¡°I admit that you¡¯re right, but that will only happen when the strength is about the same. I¡¯m two realms higher than him. I don¡¯t think he¡¯s a threat to me! Li Wei, I want to challenge you. Do you dare to agree?¡± Then, he looked at Li Wei arrogantly. ¡°Nonsense. Do you know that your level is higher than others? Yet, do you still want to bully others with your high cultivation level? Where is your chivalry?¡± Clayderman was furious. Swire was not giving him face. ¡°Teacher, chivalry is for knights, not magicians. Li Wei, do you accept my challenge or not?¡± Swire ignored Clayderman¡¯s obstruction and continued to speak. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯m not interested in battles that don¡¯t benefit me.¡± Li Wei lightly rejected Swire¡¯s challenge.. Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Li Wei, are you a man or not? You don¡¯t even dare to accept such a challenge?¡± Swire questioned in a clear voice, trying to use a provocation to force Li Wei into submission. ¡°What does it have to do with you whether I¡¯m a man or not? You¡¯re not my girlfriend.¡± Having lived two lifetimes, Li Wei, who was over 40 years old, would not be provoked by such a simple provocation. ¡°You¡­¡± Swire was so angry that he could not speak. As for the people below, they were all laughing at Li Wei¡¯s words. This made Swire feel even more humiliated. No one had ever been able to make him lose face like this since he was young. ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not impossible for me to fight you.¡± Li Wei suddenly laughed and changed his tone. ¡°What conditions do you have? Speak!¡± When Swire heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. He wanted to let these people know who was number one. ¡°I don¡¯t have any other hobbies, I just like to gamble! Let¡¯s make a bet in this competition.¡± Li Wei looked at Swire who had fallen into his trap and pretended to be relaxed as he spoke. ¡°What do you want to bet?¡± Swire was now determined to prove himself, so he anxiously asked. Li Wei looked at the anxious Swire, then suddenly shook his head and said, ¡°Forget it. I¡¯m just an apprentice magician. You¡¯re already an intermediate magician. I don¡¯t want to fight with you. I¡¯ll give you the first place.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t. You¡¯re also very strong. You also have a chance to win. Just tell me what you want to bet!¡± Hearing that Li Wei did not want to accept the challenge, he became even more anxious. The difference between the first place given by others and the first place judged by the teacher was very big. He wanted to trample the annoying Li Wei under his feet in front of everyone. ¡°Really? Alright then, I¡¯ll compete with you. The bet is very simple. Whoever loses will need to compensate for the puppets!¡± Li Wei finally revealed his purpose. ¡°No problem.¡± Swire readily agreed. ¡°Teacher, Li Wei has already agreed to my duel request. You won¡¯t stop me now, right?¡± ¡°No.¡± Although Clayderman did not know what Li Wei was up to, since he had already agreed to the duel, he had no reason to stop him. Seeing Li Wei¡¯s confident look, he was also curious about what kind of trump card this young man in front of him had to win. What the two of them did not know was that Li Wei had gone through a lot of trouble for this bet. The puppet that he had broken needed at least tens of thousands of gold coins. This was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for Li Wei! He had been afraid that Swire would see through his weakness. That was why he was playing hard to get so that Swire would not notice his abnormality. The protective shield on the stage slowly rose. The referee and Clayderman gradually retreated, giving the stage to Li Wei and Swire. ¡°Senior Brother, who do you think will win between the two of them?¡± the referee moved closer to Clayderman and asked quietly. ¡°I think it should be Swire who will win. After all, there¡¯s a huge gap between their realms. Even if Li Wei could release a fireball that was comparable to a level-2 spell, it would be difficult for him to take advantage of Swire. But there must be a reason why Li Wei is so confident. I wonder what kind of trump card this kid has.¡± Clayderman stroked his chin and analyzed. While the two of them were whispering, the two on the stage were also talking about something. ¡°Hahaha, I really didn¡¯t expect you to agree to this competition. You¡¯re really an idiot, Li Wei. I hope you¡¯ll be more tactful later and suffer less.¡± Looking at Li Wei who was holding a magic wand in front of him, Swire laughed loudly. ¡°Oh? Are you sure that you¡¯ll win?¡± Li Wei asked with a smile. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t I win? Do you know who I am? I¡¯m Swire! I¡¯m a rare genius of the Spano Academy in decades. I¡¯m a genius who became an intermediate magician at the age of sixteen! ¡°You, on the other hand, are just an unknown piece of trash. Now, you want to win against me? I really don¡¯t know if you have lost your mind. No, not only you, even this academy has gone mad! Today, I¡¯ll let those people see how outstanding I, Swire, am!¡± Swire said a whole bunch of words in one breath as if all of this was caused by Li Wei. Meanwhile, Li Wei dug his ears and said helplessly, ¡°Are you going to fight or not?¡± ¡°Fight? I don¡¯t just want to fight, I want to win!¡± Swire said fiercely. Thus, the two began to chant the spell at the same time. ¡°This kid seems to have a deep grudge against the academy,¡± Clayderman said softly. ¡°Who does he think he is? I didn¡¯t expect this kid to have such a bad temperament!¡± ¡°I hope he¡¯s just arrogant.¡± While the referee and Clayderman were talking, Li Wei and Swire had already finished chanting their spells. Both Li Wei and Swire were using Fireball. After casting Fireball, Swire released Wind Shield again. During this time, Li Wei summoned two fireballs. The three fireballs were shot toward Swire. During this time, Swire¡¯s fireballs exploded without any effect. Just as Swire was about to use the combo against the puppet on Li Wei, Li Wei suddenly pulled out a thin sword from his wand and charged at Swire. Two of the three fireballs smashed open the Wind Shield. When the last one was about to hit Swire, he narrowly dodged the attack. Before he could take a breath, a voice sounded from the side. ¡°You¡¯ve already lost.¡± Then, Swire felt that he was sent flying by someone. Swire was too focused on the Fireball spell and did not notice Li Wei¡¯s movements. So, he did not see Li Wei charging over with his sword. Li Wei was still rational and he used the back of his sword to send Swire flying. Just as Swire struggled to get up and was about to cast another spell, Clayderman appeared between the two of them. ¡°Alright, the competition is over. Li Wei wins.¡± ¡°What? He cheated! A magician shouldn¡¯t fight like this!¡± Hearing that he had lost, Swire could not accept it for a moment as he roared at Clayderman. ¡°That¡¯s because you can¡¯t do it. It¡¯s not because others can¡¯t. Please remember, young magicians. Don¡¯t be too arrogant. There¡¯s no shortage of geniuses in this world,¡± Clayderman said with a cold face. Seeing that Clayderman was angry, Swire did not dare to say anything. He could only stagger away. As Swire was no longer making trouble, Clayderman let out a sigh of relief. Then, he turned to look at Li Wei. Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation At first, he did not understand why this young man was so confident. Now, he knew that it was because he was a knight. Just now, Clayderman clearly felt a wave of battle spirit. That battle spirit had obviously reached the intermediate level! However, it needed to be honed more. To be able to reach this level at this age, although he could not be said to be a monster, he was still a young genius. Moreover, Li Wei had also trained in magic. This would definitely distract a large amount of Clayderman¡¯s attention. Therefore, this kid might really be able to enter that extremely picky Battle Spirit Academy. ¡°Well done. Make full use of your strength to fight with the enemy, confuse the enemy, and then give him the final blow,¡± Clayderman praised. ¡°Thank you for your praise, Teacher Clayderman. In the future, if you need to compensate for that puppet, please look for Swire. After all, our bet¡­¡± Li Wei finally relaxed. This time, there was no need to look for him to compensate for the puppet, right? ¡°Hahaha, I didn¡¯t expect you to have this idea. I thought you were going to donate to the academy. The annual funding of Spano Academy is beyond your imagination. I never thought of asking you to compensate. But seeing that you¡¯re so sincere, I agreed to let Swire compensate for the puppet.¡± Clayderman was immediately amused when he heard Li Wei¡¯s words. Li Wei felt mixed feelings when he heard this. Did he lose something again? ¡°But given your contribution to the academy¡¯s construction, I¡¯ll allow you to choose three books of magic or fighting techniques tomorrow,¡± Clayderman said with a smile. ¡°Thank you, Teacher.¡± Li Wei¡¯s mood improved when he heard this. After all, he was using other people¡¯s money to increase his strength. ¡°Alright, go back and pack your things, and prepare to enter the real Spano Academy. Before eight o¡¯clock tomorrow, the four of you will gather here and go to the library.¡± After saying this, he floated and flew into the depths of the academy. Li Wei did not greet the few of them and just went back on his own. After going back, Li Wei originally planned to pack properly. In the end, he found his belongings, which were still unpacked from his trip from Vigil City. The original owner was really simple. Li Wei could not help but sigh. However, Li Wei still did not meet the official students. He knew that the academy needed time to upgrade his authority. Taking advantage of this time, Li Wei modified his battle spirit for a hundred years. When Li Wei felt that his battle spirit was soaring, he began to attack the invisible barrier. Even if he had accumulated battle spirit for a hundred years, he still could not break through the barrier in the slightest. Li Wei felt a little uncomfortable as he doubted himself of having any talent in magic. Li Wei could not believe it. He mustered all his battle spirit and charged at the barrier again, but still, nothing happened. Instead, he felt a pain in his head. After an afternoon of meditation, the pain slowly eased. Li Wei knew it was time for him to go to the official student¡¯s residence. In Spano Academy, the library stood in the center of the academy. There was a wall on both sides of the library. The academy was divided into two sections, one was where the odd-job students were, and the other was where the official students and the teaching building were. Normally, odd-job students could only listen to a class when the instructor gave a speech in the auditorium. Furthermore, odd-job students were also not allowed to enter without permission. Otherwise, there would be severe punishment. However, there were exceptions to everything, such as Swire in the past. In addition, Li Wei, who had cleaned the auditorium, had been there before. This time, Li Wei had finally become an official member of the academy. Li Wei walked through the small arched door and looked around. Even though he had been here once, he still felt that this was the holy land of cultivation. The surroundings were covered with dense trees. It was very quiet which was suitable for meditation. Moreover, Li Wei, who had cultivated his battle spirit, could clearly feel that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth here was several times that of the outside world. It was simply a fairyland in the myths and legends of his previous life. Li Wei poured his spiritual energy into his identity crystal card. Then, he headed to his dormitory located in the east third building. The dormitory was also different from the outside world. It was much sturdier. Unlike the small wooden houses outside, this place was all two-story small buildings made of white, special materials. Everyone had a separate courtyard. There was an identification crystal card device on the door so no one could simply barge into other people¡¯s dorms. Was this the different treatment for students inside and outside of the academy? It was like heaven and earth! Li Wei spent the night quietly training. The next morning, he set off for the library. He thought he had arrived early enough, but he did not expect the others to have already arrived. The few of them did not speak. After all, they were not familiar with each other, so they each went up to the third floor. Only when they reached here did Li Wei realize that they could not use the stairs on the third floor. That was because there was a powerful sealing barrier there, so outsiders could not enter at all. They could only go up to the third floor through a device that was similar to an elevator. The few of them were all surprised when they saw this. When Swire saw their expressions, he looked at them with disdain. They were too lazy to argue with this arrogant guy. When they reached the third floor, Li Wei jumped into the battle hall. When Swire saw this scene, he snorted and said, ¡°Hmph, you can only be a lowly knight for the rest of your life.¡± Li Wei could not stand Swire¡¯s arrogance, so he said sarcastically, ¡°A lowly knight defeated you.¡± Swire was livid and he wanted to refute, but the two of them had already walked into the library. After Li Wei entered, he walked aimlessly. He had never been to the third floor of the library. Li Wei spent a long time choosing and finally settled on a movement technique, fighting technique, and a new cultivation technique. They were all at level-3. The cultivation technique was an incomplete volume, named ¡°Endless Life¡±, and only had the first three volumes. It was just enough for Li Wei to cultivate to a high-level knight. The movement technique was called the ¡°Nine Movements of Thunder¡±. When cultivated to the extreme, it would move like thunder. As for the fighting technique, it was the first three moves of the ¡°Tiangang Sword¡± that corresponded to the ¡°Endless Life¡±. Then, he walked down the stairs and registered the books with Wei Nuo. This time, Wei Nuo was not as enthusiastic as before. Instead, there was a hint of coldness that came from him. ¡°Return it within a month. Do not damage it.¡± Although Li Wei did not know what had happened to Wei Nuo, he did not probe further. After all, everyone had their bad days. ¡°Later, I¡¯ll look for you,¡± Just as Li Wei was seriously recording his information, Wei Nuo said to Li Wei. Li Wei wanted to ask why but seeing Wei Nuo¡¯s cold and indifferent expression, he tactfully did not say anything. He just nodded and left.. Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After going back, Li Wei first memorized the contents of the two battle techniques and then modified their time in his mind. Now that Li Wei had stepped into the intermediate knight realm, he could already modify the time for a hundred years. In an instant, countless inspirations surged into his mind and the contents of the battle techniques constantly surfaced in Li Wei¡¯s mind. Li Wei was somewhat surprised to discover that he had pushed himself to level-4 of the Tiangang Sword in the past hundred years. There were also the Nine Lightning Strikes. He did not expect that he had actually broken through the level restriction and evolved to the tenth move. Li Wei could not help but sigh. Although his talent was average, his comprehension was extremely good. After that, Li Wei once again modified the time of his Fireball spell and Flaming Sun Sword. A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. The Fireball spell upgraded to a brand new spell that was comparable to a level-3, becoming a Triple Fireball spell. Moreover, the incantation did not change. Of course, the incantation was no longer important now because Li Wei was already confident that he could cast this spell instantaneously. As for the Flaming Sun Sword, it had become a level-2 battle technique. It was no longer a fusion of battle spirit and the sword¡¯s body, but a slash of sword energy with astonishing destructive power. Li Wei named this brand new battle technique the Sunset Rainbow. After all, in the evolving scene, the Sunset Rainbow energy was like the sun, and the instant it was unleashed, it had an invincible momentum. If the teachers knew about this, they would definitely bang their heads against the wall and die. Then, Li Wei began to cultivate his newly obtained cultivation techniques. As the endless energy circulated, the fire battle spirit in Li Wei¡¯s body began to gradually transform into an attribute-free state. It was not accurate to say that it was an attribute-free state. After all, the notes on the cultivation technique stated that Endless Life could use any attribute combat technique. The Endless Life skill was once a breathing technique passed down from generation to generation in a knight¡¯s family. It could form the internal circulation of battle spirit, greatly prolonging the combat time of the knights. What was even more powerful was that the neutral power was the nemesis of some monsters. The only flaw was that its destructive power was very limited. Li Wei did not expect his body to yearn for endless warrior power during this training. This feeling made Li Wei unable to stop and wanted to extricate himself. As he cultivated the Endless Battle Spirit, Li Wei felt a surge of life force emerging from his body. Then, his body began to be refined bit by bit. Li Wei had suffered many injuries during the battle in the Magical Beast Forest, but now, he had recovered quickly. As the life force circulation continued, the hidden injuries were healed and removed one by one. In addition, his body was cleansed thoroughly. If anyone were here, they would be surprised to find that the pot of flowers beside Li Wei was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye. It grew, bloomed, and bore fruit. It was influenced by Li Wei¡¯s progress and undergone a rapid maturity transformation. Due to intense cleansing, Li Wei¡¯s body was covered with black mud, which was the impurities in his body. At this moment, Li Wei¡¯s already good battle spirit began to increase. His dark skin also began to lighten and become more tender. Li Wei¡¯s originally ordinary appearance also began to transform, becoming delicate and fairer. As the explosive factor within the fire attribute battle spirit was gradually removed, the battle spirit within Li Wei¡¯s body also completely turned into a milky white Endless Battle Spirit. Li Wei opened his eyes and a white light flashed. He noticed a black figure in the corner of his room. Li Wei was shocked. Who was this person who could enter his courtyard without alarming anyone?! Li Wei remained vigilant and did not get up. Instead, he quietly held out his hand to the magic staff beside him. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous, it¡¯s me.¡± Li Wei heard a familiar voice and quickly turned on the lights. He let out a sigh of relief when the lights were turned on. It was Wei Nuo. ¡°Grandpa Wei Nuo, do you know that one could easily scare another to death?¡± Li Wei asked with some dissatisfaction. ¡°Don¡¯t be silly for now. Relax and let me check.¡± Wei Nuo ignored Li Wei¡¯s nonsense. Li Wei trusted Wei Nuo very much. So, he relaxed his spiritual power. He only felt a vast amount of spiritual power entering his mind and began to search for something. Suddenly, that spiritual power seemed to have discovered the cultivation barrier in Li Wei¡¯s mind. It turned into an awl and smashed into that barrier. However, that barrier did not budge at all. Instead, Wei Nuo spat out a mouthful of blood. Li Wei knew that Wei Nuo was only doing this because he wanted to help him break through the barrier. He quickly got up and held Wei Nuo. ¡°Strange,¡± Wei Nuo said softly. ¡°What¡¯s strange?¡± Li Wei asked. ¡°Little Li Wei, it¡¯s Grandpa¡¯s bad attitude this morning. Grandpa thought that you signed a contract with the demon to obtain the cultivation talent, but Grandpa just found out that it wasn¡¯t the case.¡± Wei Nuo first apologized to Li Wei. ¡°It¡¯s okay, Grandpa Wei Nuo. I won¡¯t do that kind of thing.¡± Li Wei promised solemnly. ¡°Yes, good boy. It¡¯s Grandpa who wronged you. But don¡¯t worry, even if there¡¯s a demonic contract, as long as you don¡¯t want him to follow you, Grandpa will do his best to help you get rid of it.¡± ¡°Grandpa Wei Nuo.¡± For the first time in this world, Li Wei felt the love and care of his family. For a moment, the corners of his eyes felt a little moist. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t cry. Next, Grandpa wants to tell you about your background and talent. This is also why I said it was strange.¡± Li Wei nodded sensibly and did not interrupt him. ¡°When you were nine years old, I picked you up from outside the academy. At that time, you don¡¯t remember anything. What¡¯s even stranger is that every year after your birthday, you forget the memories of the previous year. This situation continued until you were thirteen years old. ¡°Your talent was mediocre, to begin with. In addition, you missed the best time to train all these years, so I always thought that you were destined to be an ordinary person. ¡°But today, I discovered that you might have an unusual background. We often say that a person¡¯s talent is poor. It refers to a person¡¯s upper and lower energy. It can only accommodate a fixed amount of spiritual power and battle spirit. ¡°It¡¯s not enough to support them to advance, but I find that you¡¯re different. Your energy is massive. With your current spiritual power, even a high-level magician might not be able to compare to you. ¡°But you can¡¯t break through. I feel that what you¡¯re facing is not a bottleneck, but a seal!¡± Wei Nuo paused after he finished speaking. Li Wei, on the other hand, was in a daze.. There was a seal in his body? Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°A seal? How could there be such a thing in my body?¡± Li Wei asked with some surprise and doubt. ¡°You can¡¯t ask me that. I only know that the seal didn¡¯t limit the growth of your spiritual power, but only stopped you from communicating with the elements between heaven and earth. That¡¯s why you can¡¯t practice magic,¡± Wei Nuo said helplessly. ¡°Grandpa Wei Nuo, look at my lower energy and see if there¡¯s a seal. Every time I break through, I feel a kind of barrier. But it¡¯s not as difficult as practicing spiritual power,¡± Li Wei quickly asked. He was very anxious about the seal in his body. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ve checked just now. That¡¯s just the effect of the seal in your consciousness. It won¡¯t delay your cultivation. It¡¯s just that the battle spirit you need to break through a realm in the future may be several times more than others. ¡°With your current cultivation speed and the strength of the barrier, you might stay as a silver knight for the rest of your life. Moreover, this is under the condition that you have to maintain your current cultivation speed,¡± Wei Nuo said in a somewhat pessimistic manner. It must be known that the battle spirit talent that Li Wei displayed was extremely terrifying. He had broken through to an intermediate knight in just over ten days. However, Wei Nuo still did not think highly of Li Wei¡¯s current condition. ¡°Then how can I break this seal? Even Grandpa Wei Nuo can¡¯t do anything about it?¡± Li Wei asked somewhat dejectedly. ¡°In the past, I thought that your cultivation was slow because of your poor talent. I had originally planned to help you refine potions to help improve your talent, but¡­¡± Wei Nuo could not help but feel a little sad. Everything had shown that Li Wei¡¯s talent in both combat and magic was very strong, but now, his talent had been sealed. ¡°Sigh, maybe this is my fate,¡± Li Wei said calmly. He did not want to make Wei Nuo sad because of his own matter. ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not impossible. You need some medicine that can expand your consciousness to reach the level of a super high magician¡¯s spiritual power. ¡°Your current spiritual power is already full. You can¡¯t break through, so you can¡¯t expand your consciousness either. So, you may need a large amount of that kind of magic potion.¡± Wei Nuo cleared his throat and continued. ¡°This way, I can use all my strength to break through your seal. At that time, you¡¯ll also be able to withstand the storm of spiritual power collisions. ¡°Of course, there¡¯s a second method. That is to find a way to kill the person who cast the seal on you. I think that seal should be a kind of magic seal that is connected to life. ¡°As long as you kill that person, the seal will be lifted by itself. However, I feel that this method is even more difficult to achieve than the first method. This is because the person who cast this spell must be extremely confident in his own strength. He might be one of the few powerhouses in the Adonis continent. At the very least, he¡¯s much stronger than me!¡± As he spoke, Wei Nuo could not help but feel a sense of powerlessness. Ever since Wei Nuo adopted Li Wei, he had been paying attention to him. At first, he thought that Li Wei was just lacking in talent, so he planned to help him improve so that he would have the ability to protect himself in the future. Now that he knew that Li Wei¡¯s talent was sealed, Wei Nuo would definitely help him solve the problem. ¡°After knowing Grandpa Wei Nuo, I know that these two methods are as difficult as ascending to the heavens. So, I think I¡¯d better cultivate the battle spirit. After all, if I¡¯m lucky, I can also become a silver knight. I¡¯m not a soft persimmon that can be trampled on by others,¡± Li Wei said in an open-minded manner. ¡°Sigh, you can¡¯t give up. If your talent is really not outstanding, then forget it. Since you have talent, then Grandpa will definitely help you recover your talent.¡± Wei Nuo promised Li Wei. How could he not see through Li Wei¡¯s pretense? ¡°Alright, Little Li Wei, what you need to do now is to cultivate your battle spirit well. Remember, every time you reach a blockage, you have to settle down for a few days before you break through. Otherwise, in the future, when you face those barriers, you¡¯ll really be at your wit¡¯s end.¡± Seeing that Li Wei still wanted to speak, Wei Nuo hurriedly interrupted what Li Wei wanted to say. Li Wei could only helplessly nod his head. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m going back. Don¡¯t forget to train hard.¡± After saying that, Wei Nuo took a step forward and then strangely disappeared in front of Li Wei. After Wei Nuo left, Li Wei was thinking about what Wei Nuo had said to him. Li Wei himself did not know that he had actually been adopted by Wei Nuo. Li Wei only had the memory of his previous self-learning to do menial work at the Spano Academy. As for the rest of his previous memory, he really did not have it. He also did not think that someone had cast a seal on him. Although he did not know how strong Wei Nuo was, Li Wei still knew the value of the words ¡°one of the few strong people in the Adonis continent¡±. Li Wei did not know how his previous self had offended that kind of big shot. He was a little depressed. No wonder he needed fifteen years to become an intermediate knight. He was just a middle-class talent. As long as the energy practitioners in this world were willing to work hard, they could basically reach this level. Wei Nuo¡¯s words also dispelled Li Wei¡¯s intention to change his energy cultivation. It was true that he had never settled down after every advancement. He had never really adapted to his own strength. What he needed now was not to improve quickly, but to perfectly control his own strength. As for the barrier to the seal of the realm, Li Wei did not mind. He did not have much else, but he had more time! The next morning, Li Wei walked out of the dormitory and prepared to go to class. Today was the beginning of his formal magic education. When he arrived at the class, he found that none of the odd-job students were in the same class as him. Li Wei¡¯s appearance also caused the class to be in an uproar. They were all new students and had previously practiced a little magic with their families or with private tutors. At the very least, they were at the level of apprentice magicians. Of course, there was another reason for the commotion, and that was that Li Wei was too old. One look and it was obvious that they were not of the same age. ¡°Who is this person? Could he be a teacher?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so. I heard that there¡¯s a student in our class who defeated an intermediate magician. It can¡¯t be him who is quite old, right?¡± ¡°I think so.¡± Hearing this, Li Wei¡¯s face darkened. ¡®Am I that old? A teacher?!¡¯ However, this group of children who were only a little over ten years old did not care about Li Wei¡¯s feelings. They continued to discuss among themselves. Of course, most of them still idolized Li Wei. Just when the class was abnormally lively, a group of people who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old walked over. With one look, one could tell that they were senior students of the academy. The leader was a blond boy. ¡°Hello. May I ask if student Li Wei is in this class? If he is, please come with me..¡± Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°That¡¯s me. What¡¯s the matter?¡± Li Wei stood up and looked at the few people in front of him. He did not seem to know them. ¡°Let me introduce myself. My name is Will. Swire is my younger brother, so please come with me,¡± Will spoke in a commanding tone. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m not interested in going with you. Moreover, I won your younger brother in the arena. This was witnessed by everyone. It will do you no good if you find trouble with me.¡± Of course, Li Wei knew that Will was looking for trouble with him, so how could he go with him? ¡°Hehe, I¡¯m afraid that¡¯s not up to you. Today, you¡¯ll definitely come with me!¡± Will said arrogantly. ¡°Will, please don¡¯t forget the rules of the academy. You¡¯re not allowed to fight privately in the arena. Otherwise, you¡¯ll be expelled,¡± Li Wei said with a smile. ¡°Hmph, you made my father punish my younger brother. Even if I¡¯m expelled today, I¡¯ll avenge my younger brother!¡± Will said with a straight face. ¡°Your younger brother¡¯s skills are inferior to others. Being punished by your father has nothing to do with me!¡± Li Wei said helplessly. How could he be blamed for everything? ¡°How could it have nothing to do with you? If it wasn¡¯t for you who made my younger brother lose 20,000 gold coins in a bet, how could he be punished? So, all of this is your fault,¡± Will said with a face full of anger. Li Wei also understood. After Swire lost, he went home to take the money to compensate for the puppet. Although his family was quite rich, they could not afford to squander like this. All of this made Swire hate Li Wei even more. So, Swire asked his brother to help him take revenge. ¡°Li Wei, if you don¡¯t come to the arena with me today, I will¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯ll what?¡± At this moment, a voice interrupted Will¡¯s threatening words to Li Wei. ¡°Hello, Teacher!¡± The people behind Will immediately stood up when they saw this person. It was Clayderman. ¡°No¡­ Nothing much!¡± Will stuttered. Will looked like he did not care about anything, but that was just a method to force Li Wei to submit. Now that the discipline teacher was right behind him, how could he dare to threaten Li Wei? ¡°Alright, don¡¯t just stand there. Go wherever you need to go. I¡¯m going to teach my students a lesson. Gathering a crowd to cause trouble was something that only those incompetent hooligans outside would do. You¡¯re all noble magicians. Please don¡¯t do things that go against your status.¡± When they heard this, they hurriedly nodded and bowed. Then, they respectfully said goodbye to the teacher and left dejectedly. ¡°What are you still not leaving for? Are you still going to cause trouble?¡± Clayderman looked at Will, who was standing still and asked with a frown. ¡°Teacher, I want to challenge Li Wei!¡± Will said through gritted teeth. He had come here to avenge his brother. Obviously, Clayderman¡¯s words could not change his mind. ¡°That¡¯s after I finish my class. If there¡¯s nothing else, you may leave.¡± Will¡¯s face turned green when he heard Clayderman¡¯s words. He could tell that this person wanted to protect Li Wei. Will clearly knew that, but he had no choice. He could only glare at him once more before turning around and leaving with a gloomy face. ¡°He¡¯s a level-5 intermediate magician with rich combat experience. A rookie like Swire can¡¯t compare to him. Don¡¯t be provoked by him. It won¡¯t do you any good,¡± Clayderman warned Li Wei. ¡°Got it. Thank you, Teacher. I won¡¯t be impulsive.¡± Li Wei agreed. When he knew that Will was an intermediate magician, he had already made up his mind. The first lesson was the theory of magic. Most of the knowledge in this class was self-taught in the library. However, for the topic of division of realms, Li Wei heard something different today. ¡°Everyone is familiar with the realm of magic, but over the years, we have discovered that there are many small realms within each large realm. We didn¡¯t systematically plan these levels before. ¡°Five years ago, under the call of the four empires¡¯ Royal Academy, the Holy See¡¯s Light Magic Academy, and the leadership of more than a hundred magicians, and holy knights from all over the world, we established a brand new level system. ¡°We set the level of spiritual power that we had just begun to comprehend, and could even cast some entry-level magic as zero. That is to say, apprentice magicians. Those who stepped into level-1 to 3 are called elementary magicians. ¡°This also means that we¡¯ll have three levels when stepping into the elementary magicians. Level-4 to 6 are called intermediate magicians. Level-7 to 9 are set as advanced magicians. People who are level-10 are called grand magicians. ¡°People who are level-11 to 24 are called sorcerers. People who are level-25 to 49 are called super sorcerers. People who are level-50 to 74 are called saint sorcerers. ¡°As there were no rules regarding the realms in the past, level-75 to 100 was a blank realm. Although there were no rules, he really existed. Right now, all the magicians in the world were debating what this realm should be called. ¡°As for those above level-100, they would be called magician gods. That was no longer the category of humans, and the authorities had not announced it. ¡°Therefore, students, when you become a high-level powerhouse in the future, you must not think that you can fight him just because his realm is the same as yours. ¡°Because the further you go, the greater the gap will be. At that time, you¡¯ll not only see the realm, but also the level,¡± Clayderman said earnestly. The impact this had on Li Wei was undoubtedly huge. These things were simply not available in the library. He had always thought that the division of realms was just the realm, but he had not expected there to be so many levels. ¡°Then, are the knights the same?¡± Li Wei raised his hand and asked. ¡°Of course, they are the same. Although the systems are different, the barriers in cultivation are the same,¡± Clayderman smiled and said. Li Wei nodded. After that, it was the meditation class. Under the teacher¡¯s guidance, everyone was aware of the flaws in their meditation. Except for Li Wei because his meditation technique had been honed for a hundred years. If there were any more flaws, Li Wei might as well bang his head against the wall and die. Spano Academy only had classes in the morning. After the lunch break, it was time for him to allocate his cultivation time. After eating, Li Wei planned to go back to his room to continue refining his battle spirit. However, he was blocked by a person. ¡°Junior Li Wei, where are you going?¡± The person cheekily asked Li Wei. This person was Will, who had failed to cause trouble in the morning.. Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°You¡¯re really haunting me, Senior Will,¡± Li Wei said helplessly. ¡°Hahaha, that old man Clayderman stopped me in the morning. Now I want to see who else can help you solve your problem!¡± Will first looked around vigilantly and then said in a clear voice. ¡°I don¡¯t have much of a grudge with your brother. Do you need to go this far?¡± Li Wei sighed and asked. ¡°Of course, I need to go this far. That¡¯s my brother, how can I not care?¡± Will¡¯s face was twisted with anger. He did not think that this guy still did not know what mistake he had made! ¡°Alright, but I won¡¯t accept your challenge. I also know that you¡¯re not afraid of the school rules and that you¡¯re just scaring me,¡± Li Wei stated. ¡°It¡¯s fine even if you don¡¯t accept it. I hope that you¡¯ll never leave the academy or else I¡¯ll definitely make you pay the price!¡± After saying that, Will turned around and was about to leave. Li Wei was furious in his heart. He did not expect this fellow to be so shameless to continue to pester him. ¡°Stop, I agree. However, we also have to make a bet. Otherwise, I won¡¯t fight with you.¡± Li Wei stopped Will. ¡°Okay, tell me. What do you want to bet?¡± Will asked happily. ¡°I¡¯ll bet 10,000 gold coins. I¡¯ll write a note before I go on stage,¡± Li Wei said. ¡°Well, I¡¯ll wait for you there first. I hope you don¡¯t run away secretly or I¡¯ll make you suffer!¡± Will said fiercely. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t go back on my word,¡± Li Wei said lightly. After Will left, Li Wei turned around and went to the dormitory. He wanted to retrieve his magic staff and sword. He did not want to fight against people like Will, but if he did not agree, Will would think that he was afraid of him and would keep pestering him. So, Li Wei planned to fight with him. He wanted to beat him into submission so that he did not dare to find trouble with him anymore. At the edge of the arena, the news of Li Wei¡¯s fight with Will had already spread throughout the academy. Everyone came over upon hearing the news. After all, an odd-job student who had just become an official student was now going to fight against a senior. This was a big deal. Moreover, everyone wanted to see the strength of this legendary first day of an odd-job student. Of course, all of this was done by Will. Today, not only did he want to beat up Li Wei, but he also want to make Li Wei lose face so he could not hold his head up in the academy. ¡°Will, you¡¯re not fooled, right? Why isn¡¯t that kid here yet?¡± the person who went with Will to find trouble with Li Wei in the morning asked. ¡°Hmph, it doesn¡¯t matter if he¡¯s fooled me or not. In any case, I¡¯ve already achieved my goal of tarnishing his reputation.¡± Will was not angry. His goal was to tarnish Li Wei¡¯s reputation. If Li Wei did not dare to come over, then he would be playing right into his hands. Just when everyone thought that Li Wei would not come, Li Wei was helplessly looking at the spectators. He did not expect that there would be so many people that he could not even walk to the stage. Helplessly, Li Wei mustered his battle spirit and shouted, ¡°I¡¯m Li Wei. Let me go over there!¡± This voice mixed with the battle spirit was like a lion¡¯s roar, making the people beside him feel as if they were going deaf. ¡°He¡¯s coming, he¡¯s coming, he¡¯s coming!¡± ¡°Li Wei is coming, everyone, quickly let him go on stage.¡± Then, the audience sensibly dispersed to both sides to make way for Li Wei. ¡°This is the number one genius of the odd-job department. Looks like it¡¯s just that. There¡¯s nothing outstanding about him.¡± ¡°Who said there¡¯s nothing outstanding about him? His voice is really loud. He almost made me deaf!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know what he¡¯s thinking, but he actually dares to challenge a senior from the senior section.¡± ¡°Who knows? Maybe he has a trump card.¡± ¡°I think he¡¯s too arrogant. I don¡¯t know how big the gap between those two people is!¡± The people around were all discussing Li Wei. After all, Li Wei¡¯s popularity had been extremely high recently. However, this was just the first day he had entered the academy, and he was already challenging a high-ranking student. Was he courting death? ¡°I thought you didn¡¯t dare to come!¡± Will said with a scowl. ¡°It makes me afraid. You¡¯re not worthy.¡± Just these few words made Will extremely angry. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m not worthy. Then let¡¯s begin. Let me see how unworthy am I.¡± Will was so angry that he laughed. ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. Put up the paper first and then take out the gambling money, so that you won¡¯t cheat.¡± ¡°You won¡¯t be missed.¡± Will threw a bag of gold coins at Li Wei. Li Wei took it and put it on the ground. Then he took out the paper that he had prepared and asked Will to sign it. After it was done, both of them retreated to the edge. This was the rule of a duel between magicians. They needed to keep a distance to give both sides time to chant their spells. Then, Will began to chant his spells. As for Li Wei, he pulled out his long sword and held it in front of him. This scene made Will laugh. He was indeed a boorish man who only knew martial arts. However, his chanting speed did not stop. Will¡¯s magic was a rare attribute. It was the Lightning attribute. It was comparable to the explosive attribute of the Fire attribute and the Speed of the Wind attribute. The rare attribute also meant that the corresponding magic book was rare. The 10,000 gold coins were given to him by his father to buy a level-3 Lightning attribute magic book. As Will chanted, a small dark cloud gathered and locked onto Li Wei. Then, three bolts of lightning struck toward Li Wei. Level-3 magic, Thunder from the Sky. Li Wei stood in place, not moving at all. He just stood there. ¡°Is this guy scared silly? He actually stood in the same spot and didn¡¯t even dare to move.¡± ¡°I thought that the student who is the best at odd jobs would be powerful. I didn¡¯t expect him to be just a weakling.¡± The people below the stage all had contemptuous looks on their faces. Will, who was on the stage, also started laughing. Victory belonged to him. ¡°What are you laughing at?¡± At this time, Li Wei¡¯s voice came from behind him. Will also saw that the lightning in front of him had actually pierced through Li Wei and struck his body. ¡°Afterimage!¡± Will could not help but narrow his eyes. Will thought of Li Wei who was behind him and wanted to quickly run away. However, he felt that his back was blocked by a sharp object. ¡°Don¡¯t move or I won¡¯t be able to control my hand well.¡± Will knew that this was Li Wei¡¯s sword. He did not dare to move. ¡°Everyone, please tell me who won!¡± Li Wei turned his head and asked the audience. ¡°It¡¯s¡­ It¡¯s you.¡± The audience was stunned. They did not expect this battle to end like this. Hearing this, Li Wei nodded in satisfaction. He put away his sword and walked down the stage. ¡°Li Wei, be careful!¡± At this time, Clayderman, who had been observing in the dark, walked out and shouted. Li Wei subconsciously slashed a fiery sword behind him.. Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Li Wei, I didn¡¯t admit that I lost!¡± Will said with a sinister smile when the scroll he threw hit Li Wei. The moment Li Wei¡¯s sword came into contact with the scroll, the magic seal in the scroll burst out. It was a level-3 spell, the Great Flame Bullet. Li Wei had a warning in his heart. He knew that he could not block it with just a single slash. At the critical moment, Li Wei once again used the Nine Lightning Strikes, narrowly avoiding the attack. The Great Flame Bullet also flew toward the surrounding audience. One had to know that most of them were beginner magicians. There were only a few intermediate magicians. Under such circumstances, no one could release a spell that was sufficient to block this attack. Just as the disaster was about to occur, a figure gradually appeared. The figure held out his hand and said, ¡°It¡¯s time to disperse, the Raging Fire Element,¡± a magical scene happened as the figure said these words. The Great Flame Bullet slowly stopped and then gradually calmed down, turning into a pure fire element and disappearing into the world. ¡°From today onward, Will will no longer be a student of the Spano Academy. Li Wei and Clayderman, please come see me in a while.¡± After saying this, the figure gradually disappeared as if he had never appeared in the first place. Clayderman did not say anything but bowed respectfully toward the figure. Li Wei was even more shocked. It seemed that his Grandpa Wei Nuo was really a big shot in the academy. No one else could tell but Li Wei knew that it was old Wei Nuo, who was in charge of registration in the library. ¡°Will, our academy doesn¡¯t need people like you to ruin our reputation. You can leave the academy now,¡± Clayderman said to Will with a cold expression after Wei Nuo left. ¡°The others, I also hope that you can take this as a warning. If you lose, you lose. Don¡¯t play tricks. Remember your identity as a magician! Li Wei, come with me.¡± After warning the many students, Clayderman called Li Wei to follow him. After Clayderman left, the students began to guess Li Wei¡¯s identity. Only Will stood in place, not knowing what to do. He knew that he was going to die. Li Wei and Clayderman walked past the teaching building and the teacher¡¯s residential area. Finally, they stopped at a wooden house in the deepest forest of the academy. ¡°Teacher, I¡¯ve brought him here,¡± Clayderman bowed respectfully to the wooden house and said. ¡°Li Wei, come in. Clayderman, go and call your junior brother over.¡± Wei Nuo¡¯s old voice came from the wooden house. ¡°Yes.¡± Clayderman bowed respectfully and left. Li Wei walked into the wooden house with some restraint. ¡°Haha, why are you so restrained? Don¡¯t you recognize me?¡± Wei Nuo teased Li Wei. ¡°No, I¡¯m just not used to suddenly knowing that you¡¯re a big shot.¡± ¡°What big shot? I¡¯m just a retired teacher.¡± Wei Nuo smiled and shook his head. ¡°Grandpa Wei Nuo, what exactly is your realm?¡± Li Wei asked curiously. ¡°Don¡¯t ask about that. You¡¯ll know when you reach a sufficient realm in the future.¡± Wei Nuo did not want to mention his cultivation level in front of Li Wei. ¡°Then why did you look for me, Grandpa Wei Nuo?¡± Li Wei asked with some confusion. ¡°Well, you¡¯ll know in a while.¡± Wei Nuo smiled and kept him guessing. Then, he started to ask about Li Wei¡¯s cultivation. Li Wei told Wei Nuo everything without any hesitation. Of course, he did not tell anyone about the system. Just as the two of them were conversing, a white figure rushed in. ¡°Why is the old man looking for me?¡± It was the referee from before. ¡°Quiet down, Owen. You¡¯re about to become someone else¡¯s teacher,¡± Wei Nuo said to Owen helplessly. ¡°What teacher? I don¡¯t agree with that. I don¡¯t have the intention to teach others.¡± Owen quickly refused. ¡°That¡¯s fine too. Let¡¯s settle the score properly.¡± Wei Nuo began to threaten Owen. ¡°No, no, old man. If you give me a bottle of Monster Ape King Wine, I¡¯ll drink it.¡± When Owen heard that he wanted to settle the score, he immediately changed his tone. ¡°I remember that two days ago, I seem to have lost a bottle of fruit juice that the elven queen gave me. Sigh, let¡¯s look for it properly today.¡± Wei Nuo pretended to get up after saying that. Owen became anxious and quickly pulled Wei Nuo back. ¡°Old¡­ Teacher, don¡¯t be like this. Whatever you say, I¡¯m just joking,¡± Owen said with an embarrassed smile. ¡°That¡¯s good. Little Li Wei, this is your future teacher. You don¡¯t have to go to class anymore. Just follow him and learn from him,¡± Wei Nuo pointed at Owen and said to Li Wei. Li Wei, on the other hand, had a doubtful look on his face. Was this person reliable? How could Wei Nuo not see the expression on Li Wei¡¯s face? He hurriedly explained, ¡°Don¡¯t look at Owen as a little jumpy. He¡¯s the youngest magician in our academy and also the number one genius in the entire kingdom. ¡°Moreover, he cultivates both magic and martial arts. He also cultivates the endless cycle of life. He¡¯s the most suitable teacher for you.¡± When Li Wei heard Wei Nuo¡¯s introduction, he was shocked. Owen looked young, about thirty years old but he had such high cultivation. ¡°An ant¡¯s talent isn¡¯t worth mentioning,¡± Owen waved his hand and said. If not for that smug look on his face, Li Wei would have believed that he was really modest. ¡°Owen, you should know about Li Wei. He¡¯ll be in your hands. Teach him well,¡± Wei Nuo instructed. ¡°Yes, Teacher.¡± Owen finally became serious. ¡°But Teacher¡¯s Monster Ape King Wine¡­¡± ¡°Get lost, don¡¯t force me to beat you up.¡± Owen saw that Wei Nuo was angry, so he gestured for Li Wei to follow him and ran out. Looking at the two people walking far away, Wei Nuo smiled and shook his head. After that, Li Wei had been training with Owen. In the morning, he trained his battle spirit and sparred with Owen in actual combat. In the afternoon, he opened the meridians in his body under Owen¡¯s guidance to break through the second layer of the Endless Life skill. Although Li Wei¡¯s combat skills and magic were all perfect, Owen could still give him some advice on how to cast them each time. In each sparring session, Owen would only perform at a level-4 intermediate knight. However, the difference in combat experience between the two was like the difference between heaven and earth. Every time, Li Wei would be beaten up by Owen. Whenever Owen beat up Li Wei, Owen would say in a strange tone, ¡°Just this level?¡± After half a month of being beaten up, Li Wei finally opened up all the meridians required for the second layer of the Endless Life skill. It was also on this day that Li Wei finally completed his first cultivation breakthrough in grief and indignation. He became a level-5 intermediate knight. Li Wei decided that he would restrain his cultivation and give Owen a surprise in today¡¯s practical combat training.. Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li Wei, who was determined, set off early to the training ground that he had agreed upon with Owen. Li Wei was not surprised that Owen had not arrived. This teacher of his was usually late. He would only come after the training time had passed. Li Wei sat cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate. At the same time, he tried his best to conceal his battle spirit fluctuations so that Owen would not discover him so soon. Finally, after a long while, Owen walked over with a sleepy face. ¡°It¡¯s so early, Little Li Wei. Don¡¯t sit on the ground, it¡¯s easy to catch a cold.¡± Owen used his gentle spiritual power to wake Li Wei up. Li Wei also stopped his cultivation with a dark expression. People in this world would not catch a cold just because they sat on the ground. He was actually afraid that an intermediate knight like Li Wei would catch a cold? ¡°What¡¯s that expression, Little Li Wei? You have to take care of your body. Otherwise, when you get old, you¡¯ll suffer.¡± As Owen said this, he pulled out his sword and attacked Li Wei. ¡°Good, you don¡¯t know martial virtue, Owen. You actually ambushed me.¡± ¡°You have to stay alert at all times, Little Li Wei,¡± Owen said as he used the Endless Life sword technique to suppress Li Wei. Both of them were using the Endless Life sword technique. This was also the battle technique that Owen hoped Li Wei could specialize in. This was because this was no longer a battle technique that was limited to levels. More importantly, it depended on one¡¯s comprehension and actual combat usage. When Owen discovered that Li Wei could perfectly use this sword technique, he could not help but be shocked. Of course, he would still beat Li Wei up. The Endless Life sword technique was similar to the Taichi sword in Li Wei¡¯s previous life. It emphasized using softness to overcome hardness and attacking the opponent¡¯s weak points. It was akin to using Endless Life to exhaust and wear down the opponent wave after wave of power. Li Wei felt very uncomfortable. Although the two of them were in the same realm and their understanding of fighting techniques was the same, Owen was undoubtedly better at attacking the weak points. Just as Li Wei could not hold on any longer, Owen gradually slowed down his attacks. ¡°Little Li Wei, can you only hold on for so long? This won¡¯t do. If you¡¯re only at this level, I¡¯ll have to tell Teacher that I won¡¯t teach you,¡± Owen said proudly. Seeing Owen gradually relax, Li Wei suddenly raised his cultivation and stopped suppressing his battle spirit. Just as Li Wei was about to launch a counterattack, he realized that Owen had also raised his cultivation level. ¡°You knew?¡± Li Wei asked. ¡°Of course. You want to trick me? Next, let¡¯s try the iron sword technique that I love!¡± As Owen finished speaking, he did not suppress his cultivation level anymore. He used the back of his sword to strike Li Wei¡¯s body. For a moment, the training ground was filled with screams. It was truly heartbreaking to hear Li Wei cry. Of course, the screams were mixed with some perverted laughter. In the afternoon, Owen brought Li Wei, who was covered in wounds, to the academy¡¯s Mission Office. Completing the academy¡¯s mission could earn credits and some gold coins. This was only accepted by students who were about to graduate from the higher grades. After all, this also had a cultivation requirement. ¡°Hello, may I take on the mission to eliminate the level-3 wolf bandits?¡± Li Wei was polite to the young lady at the front desk. Wolf bandits were a kind of lustful magic beast, the Wind Wolf. It was the offspring of a woman who was raped by the Wind Wolf. Wolf bandits were brutal and inhumane. Once a wolf bandit was born, he would eat his mother and then slaughter the people around him. Most wolf bandits were born in small villages that did not have the ability to resist the Wind Wolves. Therefore, as long as a wolf bandit appeared, it meant that a village had been massacred. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, student. This mission can only be accepted by level-7 advanced magicians and above,¡± the receptionist politely replied Li Wei. ¡°That¡¯s what I want to accept, right?¡± At this time, Owen walked over. ¡°Please show me your identity crystal card.¡± Owen handed his crystal card to the receptionist. After the receptionist read what was on the card, she was obviously stunned for a moment. Then, she respectfully handed the crystal card back to Owen. ¡°Honorable Sir, this is your crystal card. Please keep it well. I have already accepted the mission for you.¡± ¡°Amazing, what do you mean by honorable or not? Aren¡¯t we all human? May I ask if this beautiful lady is willing to have a drink with me?¡± Owen¡¯s sudden outburst stunned the receptionist. Owen could not help but turn around and leave when he saw the receptionist¡¯s reaction. Li Wei quickly chased after him. ¡°Rejected again. I¡¯m in a bad mood this time. Let¡¯s continue beating you in the afternoon.¡± Li Wei¡¯s face was full of black lines when he heard these words. So, this person was eating, sleeping, and beating Li Wei now? Just as Li Wei was about to retort, Clayderman rushed over from afar. ¡°Owen, quickly bring Li Wei with you. Something has happened.¡± Clayderman grabbed the two of them and walked toward the office area. ¡°What happened, Senior Brother? Why are you so flustered?¡± Owen asked nonchalantly. ¡°The City Lord brought his son to the Vice Dean. The Vice Dean is looking for the two of you!¡± ¡°Slandering me, ambushing my disciple. I haven¡¯t even caused him any trouble yet and he still dares to question me! He¡¯s really rebelled against me.¡± After saying that, Owen grabbed Li Wei and Clayderman as if he was grabbing chicks. At this moment, in the Vice Dean¡¯s office. ¡°Vice Dean, you must stand up for my son! Li Wei is gambling in the academy and my son was expelled just because he didn¡¯t want to admit defeat.¡± A fat man was at the Vice Dean¡¯s office desk, wailing. Will was standing beside him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, City Lord Chelsea. Our Academy will never allow such a person who ignores the school rules to exist.¡± ¡°Thank you so much, Vice Dean. But please, you must expel Li Wei. Otherwise, the reputation of Spano Academy will be ruined. After that, I¡¯ll definitely give you the Beamon toe bone that I¡¯ve collected.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll definitely expel that kind of student. Don¡¯t talk about the toe bone anymore. I¡¯m just defending the school rules.¡± The Vice Dean looked like he was refusing. The fat City Lord Chelsea cursed in his heart many times. If it was not for that broken bone, would this old guy help him? Although he was cursing in his heart, Chelsea still flattered the Vice Dean and said, ¡°Yes, who doesn¡¯t know of your fair name, High Magician Bill?¡± ¡°Bang!¡± At this time, the Vice Dean¡¯s office door was kicked open. ¡°Who wants to cause trouble for Li Wei?¡± Owen shouted as soon as he entered. ¡°Owen, what a disgrace! Can¡¯t you see that I still have an important guest?¡± Vice Dean Bill immediately stood up and questioned Owen. ¡°The parents of the expelled students are your important guests?¡± Owen shot a glance at Bill. Bill immediately flew into a rage. Owen was really not giving him face! ¡°Owen, I hope you know your identity. This isn¡¯t a place where you can behave atrociously!¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to behave atrociously here, so what? I¡¯ve long disliked you, old thing. Let¡¯s see what you can do today!¡± ¡°Good for you, Owen. You¡¯re simply disrespecting your elders.. I¡¯ll definitely expel you from the academy!¡± Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Bill cursed in exasperation. This fellow usually did not give him face, but now he wanted to fight with him. ¡°It¡¯s been a few days since we¡¯ve seen our Vice Dean being so capable! Today, I want to see how you¡¯re going to expel me and Little Li Wei!¡± Owen said without giving in. ¡°Owen, you have to know that Li Wei has violated the school¡¯s rules and is gambling with others! Are you sure you want to protect him?¡± Bill forcefully suppressed his anger and once again placed himself on the high ground for the good of the academy. ¡°Don¡¯t talk about these things with me. Is there still a lack of such things in the academy? Why haven¡¯t I seen you stop it? Now that you¡¯re here with Li Wei, you want to punish him. What benefits has this damned fatty given you?!¡± Owen pointed at the City Lord and asked coldly. ¡°Owen, you¡¯re insulting me. I¡¯m wholeheartedly dedicated to the academy and you said that I accepted a gift?¡± Bill quickly denied it. ¡°Alright then. If you and that fatty want to expel my student today, I guarantee that the two of you won¡¯t have a comfortable life in the future!¡± Owen said as he mustered up his fighting spirit. Clayderman was a little nervous when he saw this scene. He was a person who abides by the rules. He had called Owen over to solve the problem. However, he did not expect Owen to come and blow up the matter instead. Although Clayderman knew this junior brother¡¯s temper very well, he did not expect this fellow to be so hot-tempered. ¡°Alright, the two of you stop quarreling. We¡¯re here to solve the problem, not to fight.¡± To not lose control of the situation, Clayderman quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. ¡°Alright, Clayderman, you¡¯re a fair person. Tell me, should I expel this kind of student?¡± Bill saw that someone had stepped forward to smooth things over. He did not want to continue the conversation with the unreasonable Owen. Li Wei did not say anything. Owen and Clayderman were Wei Nuo¡¯s students, so they definitely would not let him suffer a loss. ¡°I don¡¯t think Li Wei is wrong. The academy forbids gambling but it doesn¡¯t say that students aren¡¯t allowed to add to the stakes during the competition,¡± Clayderman said slowly. ¡°These two teachers, it¡¯s best that you don¡¯t get involved in this matter. After all, I¡¯m also the City Lord, if¡­¡± The fat City Lord saw that someone was being soft, so he revealed his identity. Owen, who was originally suppressed by Clayderman, could not suppress his anger when he heard the threat. ¡°Fatty, let¡¯s not talk about you today. Even if the king comes, it¡¯d be useless.¡± ¡°Mr. City Lord, if you have the time to make a scene here in the academy, you might as well go back and discipline your child properly. I will not meddle in Owen¡¯s matters here. I¡¯ll leave it to you.¡± A good-natured person like Clayderman could not stand the City Lord anymore. Clayderman, who originally wanted to save face for the other party, did not think so at this moment. After saying that, he turned around and left. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve been the City Lord for so long and no one dares to speak to me like this!¡± the fat City Lord said somewhat angrily. ¡°Then, it can only mean that you¡¯re just looking at the sky from a well!¡± Owen said indifferently. ¡°Owen, you¡­¡± ¡°What do you mean? Let me tell you, unless the Dean returns, no one can expel me and even the Dean can¡¯t expel Li Wei! Don¡¯t try to touch my bottom line or you¡¯ll understand what cruelty is.¡± Owen interrupted Bill¡¯s words. Then, he waved his hand and condensed a long sword made of battle spirit, slashing toward the wall behind Bill. Then, a shocking scene appeared. The combat aura passed through the wall and appeared outside, cutting through the clouds in the sky. ¡°Remember, come back next time after you know who you have provoked,¡± Owen said and left with Li Wei. After Owen left, the fat City Lord stuttered and asked the Vice Dean, ¡°Who¡­ Who is this person?¡± The Vice Dean was also dumbfounded. He only knew that Owen was a magician and his realm was about the same as his. That was why he dared to say that he would fight with Owen. However, he did not expect Owen to have such a terrifying battle spirit cultivation. ¡°I don¡¯t know either. He¡¯s a teacher specially hired by the Dean. I don¡¯t know his origin either,¡± the Vice Dean said hesitantly. ¡°Mr. Bill, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll deliver the Beamon toe bone soon. I hope this matter won¡¯t affect our friendship.¡± ¡°Forget it. Since the matter hasn¡¯t been settled, how can I have the face to receive your gifts again?¡± ¡­ Just as the two people in the office were trying to shirk from each other, Owen had already pulled Li Wei out of the academy. ¡°Little Li Wei, do I look cool just now? I slashed the sky with my sword. Am I awesome?¡± Without any outsiders, Owen instantly returned to his cynical look. ¡°Thank you.¡± Li Wei knew that Owen was protecting him. Otherwise, he would definitely have been kicked out of the academy today. ¡°Aiya, Li Wei actually thanked me. The child has finally grown up, and he even said thank you to his teacher.¡± Owen had an exaggerated look on his face. ¡°Forget it, forget it.¡± When Li Wei saw the indecent Owen, the emotions in his heart instantly disappeared. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s get down to business. This time, our destination is the Holy Knight Village. Their neighboring villages have already been massacred by wolf bandits. ¡°Right now, the Holy Knight Village is only relying on a few knights to hold on. This mission has to be fast or else the Holy Knight Village might also be massacred. ¡°You have to be careful. I won¡¯t help you this time, so even the slightest mistake will cost you your life,¡± Owen changed from his previous cynicism and said with a serious face. ¡°No way, I¡¯m only an intermediate knight. Do you want me to face those monsters that only high-level magicians can deal with?¡± Li Wei asked with a little fear. ¡°Although only high-level magicians can barely deal with those wolf bandits, you have to know that you¡¯re a magic knight. You have your own way of fighting and you can¡¯t measure yourself purely by your realm. ¡°You need to gradually understand your advantage in the battle. Go ahead and do it. If you die, I¡¯ll help you build a luxurious tombstone.¡± Owen comforted Li Wei. ¡°Can you not say that? I¡¯m still young. I don¡¯t have the intention of dying,¡± Li Wei said helplessly. ¡°You must treat every battle as a life and death battle. Don¡¯t think of it as a fluke!¡± Owen said with a solemn face. ¡°I know, Teacher Owen.¡± Li Wei did not care on the surface, but he secretly remembered it in his heart. The teacher and student talked and laughed as they walked out of the city. The Holy Knight Village was not too far from Langdon City. It was about the same distance from Vigil City to Langdon City. The two of them arrived at the Holy Knight Village when the sun was about to set. At the entrance of the Holy Knight Village, there was a huge monument with the words ¡°Holy Knight¡± written on it. There should be some words below it, but over time, they could not be seen clearly. When the two of them stepped over the stone monument, there was a slash coming toward them.. Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li Wei quickly pulled out his magic staff and sword to defend against the slash. He looked in the direction of the slash but there was only darkness. Li Wei held his sword vigilantly and looked around but found nothing. He thought that the people here might have been killed. However, Owen came over and patted Li Wei¡¯s shoulder, indicating for him to put down the sword. ¡°Teacher, be careful. The people here might have been killed,¡± Li Wei said in a low voice. Although he had confidence in Owen¡¯s strength, he knew that carelessness often brought disaster. So, he kept the sword while reminding Owen to be careful. Owen smiled and patted Li Wei¡¯s head. He jokingly scolded, ¡°Wolf bandits aren¡¯t the kind of beings that you can easily resist. Don¡¯t worry, they are people.¡± Li Wei looked at Owen doubtfully. However, Owen did not care about him. Instead, he shouted toward the darkness, ¡°Come out, we¡¯re not wolf bandits. We¡¯re from the Spano Academy. We heard that there are wolf bandits here, so we came to take a look.¡± ¡°Who would believe the words of bandits like you?¡± A voice came from the darkness. Li Wei had identified the direction and was about to grab his sword and go over. However, Owen stopped him. Then, he continued, ¡°We really don¡¯t have any ill intentions. If you don¡¯t believe me, take a look at our clothes. We¡¯re from the Spano Academy.¡± As Owen spoke, he cast an illumination spell on himself and Li Wei. ¡°It really is the people from the Spano Academy. Big Brother, we finally have reinforcements.¡± A stout man¡¯s voice sounded in the darkness. Only then did Li Wei realize that this was the defensive precautions of the Holy Knight Village. Li Wei was glad that he did not start a conflict. ¡°Whether it¡¯s the people from the Spano Academy or not, we just need to go over and take a look.¡± After saying that, three people holding longswords appeared in the darkness. ¡°Show me the certificate of the Spano Academy!¡± the leader shouted. He did not dare to go near Li Wei and Owen. Owen heard this and threw it to the two of them. The leader looked at it for a while before the man decided to leave the other two behind. Then, he brought Owen and Li Wei into the village. After entering the village, Li Wei realized that the Holy Knight Village was really a three-step sentry post. ¡°Almost all the men in our village are taking turns to keep watch at night. Those bandits will move more frequently at night,¡± the man saw Li Wei¡¯s curiosity and explained to him. Did the bandits refer to the wolf bandits? Li Wei was very confused. Although it was only one word short, it was very different. How could such a cautious village say something wrong? ¡°Aren¡¯t they wolf bandits?¡± Li Wei asked. ¡°Sigh, I can¡¯t explain this either. Why don¡¯t you ask the village chief later?¡± Li Wei did not ask any more questions. He continued to observe the village while moving forward. Then, he was shocked. The men in this village were all knights. The stronger ones were at the completion of the basic knight level. The rest of them had some battle spirit. ¡°Your village is quite strong.¡± ¡°Of course. I heard that our village had a knight 200 years ago and that person seems to be a big shot.¡± The man became proud when he talked about the history of the village. ¡°Oh? A knight? 200 years ago? He should still be alive. What¡¯s his name?¡± Li Wei¡¯s interest was piqued. ¡°I don¡¯t know, but the village chief should know.¡± ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be. If that knight was still alive, he¡¯d have stepped out to protect this place,¡± Owen said in a low voice. However, his voice was too soft for Li Wei and the man to hear. Finally, the two of them followed the man to a sentry post at the other end of the village. ¡°Why are you here? Didn¡¯t I tell you to guard the East well?¡± An old man immediately began to scold the man when he saw the three of them. At this time, there was no room for error. This man had actually left his post without permission. ¡°Village chief, I brought people here to look for you,¡± the man explained. ¡°Who are you? Don¡¯t you know our current situation? You still dare to come here? Aren¡¯t you afraid of death? And you, are a few outsiders so important that you actually disregard the safety of the village?¡± The village chief directly cursed. ¡°We¡¯re from the Spano Academy and we¡¯re here to help,¡± at this moment, Li Wei took a step forward and explained. ¡°People from the Spano Academy? You¡¯re finally here!¡± Upon hearing that it was people from the Spano Academy, the village chief immediately changed his attitude. There was nothing he could do. The students of the Spano Academy were very famous in the entire Spano Province. The village chief immediately came over and said, ¡°Little Brothers, you¡¯re finally here. Over a dozen people in our village have already been killed by that group of animals in the past few days.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, village chief. Since we¡¯re here, we¡¯ll definitely solve the problem. Tell us about the situation first.¡± Li Wei was also infuriated by those heartless wolf bandits. He wanted nothing more than to pull out their tendons. However, Owen stood on the side, thinking about something. The village chief immediately began to talk. Through the village chief¡¯s story, Li Wei understood the general situation. The wolf bandits initially only hunted their prey in a jungle outside the village. Later, they somehow gathered a group of humans and became an organized group of bandits. Then, they began to massacre the surrounding villages. At first, because of the strong strength of the Holy Knight Village, the entire population was at war, so they were able to help others. However, the results were not good. None of those people came back alive. Then, the wolf bandits led a group of bandits to the Holy Knight Village. Fortunately, after experiencing the strength of the Holy Knight Village, the wolf bandits led the people to retreat. It was not until these two days that the wolf bandits began to launch their probing attacks again. Each time, several people from the Holy Knight Village would die. Fortunately, the wolf bandits did not launch a grand scale attack. Thus, the Holy Knight Village finally withstood the bandits¡¯ attacks. They held on until the arrival of Li Wei and Owen. After listening to the village chief¡¯s narration, Li Wei had some plans in his heart. Then, he asked the village chief, ¡°Do you know the strength of the wolf bandits?¡± ¡°The two wolf bandits in the lead should be high-level knights. As for their lackeys, most of them are people with no cultivation or are just apprentice knights,¡± the village chief answered truthfully. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll set off tomorrow to kill these detestable fellows.¡± Hearing Li Wei¡¯s words, the village chief immediately felt relieved. In this realm, Li Wei believed that he still had the strength to fight. Then, the village chief asked the people who had brought Li Wei here to bring Li Wei and Owen to rest. As for him, he had to stand on the last watch. Owen did not say anything along the way. Li Wei was a little surprised by Owen¡¯s abnormal behavior. Li Wei only thought that Owen was worried about him, so he did not ask any more questions. The night passed without a word. The next day, at dawn, Li Wei packed his belongings and prepared to set off to the forest where the wolf bandits were hiding.. Chapter 20 - Encountering the Second Wolf Bandits Leader and Undead Magic Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Just as Li Wei was about to leave, Owen called out to him. ¡°Wait, I¡¯ll go with you today.¡± Owen appeared behind Li Wei in a white suit. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you wanted to train me? Why are you still following me?¡± Li Wei asked Owen in confusion. ¡°I want to train you, but I can¡¯t just watch you die.¡± Owen had a helpless look on his face. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that I can already fight against normal high-level knights?¡± ¡°Yes, but I didn¡¯t say that you can fight against two. Moreover, these two are obviously abnormal, so I can only sacrifice my sleep to accompany you,¡± Owen explained. ¡°Abnormal? What do you mean?¡± Li Wei did not quite understand Owen¡¯s words. ¡°You should know the origins of the wolf bandits. I¡¯m going to tell you common sense. Normal wolf bandits won¡¯t coexist with humans. Their minds are only filled with killing. ¡°If they are with their own kind, I can be rest assured. But if they are with humans, then this is very likely to be unusual.¡± For the first time, Owen patiently and seriously passed on knowledge to Li Wei. ¡°So, there¡¯s a problem with these two wolf bandits?¡± Li Wei asked. ¡°Wolf bandits are bloodthirsty and brainless creatures. But the village chief said as if they are simply too smart, just like human bandits.¡± Owen added another sentence. Only then did Li Wei realize that this mission was not that simple. At the same time, he felt ashamed that he did not see through such an obvious abnormality. ¡°Don¡¯t be ashamed. These things require knowledge and experience. You have to remember that when you¡¯re out training, it doesn¡¯t mean killing a few trash and magical beasts. ¡°You have to always pay attention to the abnormality of things or you¡¯ll be at a disadvantage in the future.¡± Li Wei heard Owen¡¯s advice and nodded lightly. The only thing that Li Wei knew was that Owen had followed him when he went to the Magical Beast Forest and Vigil City. As for why, it was definitely because Wei Nuo had asked Owen to protect Li Wei. He was somewhat glad that he was with Owen. Otherwise, he might not have been able to break into the den of thieves on his own. ¡°Don¡¯t think too much. Let¡¯s go. This time, if there¡¯s someone you can¡¯t deal with, I¡¯ll take action. However, I won¡¯t help you if there¡¯s no danger to your life,¡± Owen yawned and said with a face full of sleepiness. ¡°I still hope that you won¡¯t take action,¡± Li Wei said softly. ¡°Good lad, you have ambition. Don¡¯t let down your confidence.¡± Owen praised Li Wei with relief when he heard that. The two of them set off and soon left the village. Then, they headed north. Just as the two of them were about to reach the forest, a group of people riding horses quickly rushed out. The leader of the group raised his hand to signal for them to stop when they were ten meters away from them. ¡°Someone actually dares to come to our territory. Should we kill them, Boss?¡± one of the people behind loudly asked the leader, who was wearing a black robe. ¡°Kill them. Cook some soup for me and Big Brother tonight.¡± The leader¡¯s hoarse voice sounded. ¡°Little ones, did you hear that? Boss is going to eat meat with Big Boss. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and follow me to kill those two guys.¡± Then, he took the lead and charged at Li Wei and Owen. The rest of the people also followed this person and started to charge forward. Seeing this, Li Wei raised the staff in his hand and shot out an enhanced Fireball spell. In an instant, three fireballs under the support of the staff smashed toward a minion. In an instant, a sky full of fiery rain exploded, directly killing the minion. Only a few people with quick reactions dodged this attack. Seeing that there were still people alive, Li Wei directly pulled out his sword and charged over. He did show any mercy. He knew that these people had already lost their humanity and could not be considered human anymore. Owen could not help but sigh at Li Wei¡¯s terrifying comprehension ability when he saw Li Wei¡¯s Fireball spell. One had to know that even he could not casually change the content of the spell. The leader did not have any intention of getting angry when he saw Li Wei kill his subordinate. Instead, he was strangely calm. ¡°Kid, your strength isn¡¯t bad. Do you want to join us?¡± A hoarse voice sounded, trying to get Li Wei to join them. ¡°What¡¯s the benefit of joining you?¡± Li Wei asked casually. ¡°Eternal life. As long as you kill that person, I¡¯ll bring you to join our core and give you eternal life.¡± The leader did not hesitate and even said that he wanted to kill Owen. ¡°Eternal life, how tempting. However, I¡¯m not interested. As for the one behind me, if you want to kill him, you can do it yourself,¡± Li Wei said expressionlessly. Li Wei believed that there were gods in this world and that some people could live forever. However, they were definitely not the bandits in front of him. ¡°That¡¯s a pity. I originally wanted to let you replace my subordinates. It seems that I can only kill you.¡± After saying that, the opponent¡¯s legs shook and he flew over from the back of the horse. Then, he waved his fist and charged at Li Wei. Li Wei raised his sword and counterattacked. The opponent did not dodge. Instead, he changed his fist into a palm and attacked. ¡°Ding!¡± Something unexpected happened. Li Wei did not cut open this person¡¯s palm. Instead, a sound of metal colliding could be heard. The glove that the person was originally wearing was flying like debris. It was a wolf¡¯s claw. ¡°You¡¯re one of the two wolf bandits!¡± Li Wei cried out in alarm. ¡°It¡¯s too late to know now!¡± Then, the wolf bandit did not bother to hide and lifted his cloak. Inside was a black wolf¡¯s head. Li Wei and Owen frowned at the same time. Were not wolf bandits green instead? ¡°Are you curious about the color of my body? There¡¯s no harm in telling you. I hate this kind of black, but I used this color to exchange for eternal life and power! Next, I¡¯ll let you ignorant humans see my power. ¡°The dead souls that are slumbering in the underworld, listen to my call and possess the corpse under my feet. Come and destroy the enemy in front of you!¡± As the wolf bandit chanted the incantation, a strange scene appeared. The people who were already dead on the ground stood up one after another and walked toward Li Wei like zombies. ¡°Undead magic!¡± Owen was shocked. Li Wei had heard of undead magic in his previous life, but he did not expect it to exist in this world. However, Li Wei was not afraid of undead magic. After all, the cultivation technique he practiced could restrain evil spirits. Li Wei raised his sword and rushed into the crowd. Then, he performed his sword technique. As Li Wei¡¯s battle spirit entered his body, the zombies started to howl and then gradually disappeared. ¡°That¡¯s it?¡± Li Wei raised his head and looked at the wolf bandit. ¡°Hahaha, of course not. Little guy, I haven¡¯t been to this world for two hundred years. Have you thought about how to please me?¡± the wolf bandit laughed strangely and said loudly. At this moment, he was no longer the wolf bandit from before.. Chapter 21 - Clearing Out the Wolf Bandits Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When Li Wei heard the familiar lines, he could not help but reply subconsciously, ¡°Do you want to dance too?¡± Owen looked at Li Wei with a different expression and thought to himself, ¡®When did Li Wei say such a deep line? But it looks so cool. I can copy it down.¡¯ However, although Owen¡¯s thoughts were running wild, he still secretly circulated his battle spirit in case he needed it. After all, this was the effect of the undead magic. ¡°Hahaha, kid, I hope that your strength is worthy of my pleasure.¡± The wolf bandit revealed a sinister laugh. Li Wei did not wait for the wolf bandit to finish speaking and immediately raised his sword to charge at him. The wolf bandit waved his claws and shook Li Wei away. The wolf bandit¡¯s physical fitness was transformed from before as if he was a different person. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the undead magic to have such an effect.¡± Li Wei gently shook his numb palm. Once again, he raised his sword and charged over. ¡°Although your strength isn¡¯t bad, no matter how many times, the result is the same! This is the first time I came to this world in a hundred years. Having you as my tribute is really not bad,¡± the wolf bandit raised his arm to block as he said with a relaxed expression. Li Wei did not speak. He just quietly displayed all the fighting skills that he had mastered and attacked the wolf bandit. The wolf bandit easily blocked them one by one. Then, he said mockingly, ¡°Kid, if this is your level, then I won¡¯t be polite and accept your soul.¡± ¡°Not only that!¡± Li Wei said as he threw away the longsword in his hand. ¡°What, this is your ultimate move? Surrender?¡± The wolf bandit mocked loudly. He stood in place, silently watching Li Wei¡¯s performance. Li Wei did not say anything. He then gathered all the battle spirit in his body into his right hand. Owen could not help but be a little surprised when he saw this scene. Did this guy even learn that move? Gradually, Li Wei¡¯s battle spirit condensed into a longsword in his hand. The scene was the same when Owen had scared the Vice Dean and the City Lord that day, except that Owen used a purple longsword. This was the only battle technique that Owen had initiated to teach Li Wei during this period. It did not have a name, but it could be called a godly skill. This was something that Owen had obtained in a ruin. It was divided into eight levels: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, silver, and gold. The original creator had just created this godly skill and he had only cultivated it to the silver level before he died in a battle. In the end, he did not give this sword skill a name. Instead, he let the latecomers cultivate it to the highest level. Li Wei picked up the yellow longsword and pointed it at the wolf bandit, saying, ¡°Next, please enjoy my dance.¡± ¡°Hahaha, kid, dance to your heart¡¯s content. I want to see how strong you are!¡± the wolf bandit shouted. After saying that, the two rushed toward each other at high speed. This time, Li Wei finally inflicted a wound on the other party¡¯s body. However, it was at the price of being scratched by the wolf bandit. ¡°Looks like I need to be serious.¡± The wolf bandit looked at the wound on his chest and licked the blood on his claws. Li Wei did not say anything. He knew that his strength was not as strong as the wolf bandit¡¯s, so he had to keep an eye on him. Suddenly, a black mist appeared on the wolf bandit¡¯s claws. Then, he rushed over again. This time, the wolf bandit¡¯s speed became faster. Li Wei activated his spiritual detection and narrowly avoided the attack. Li Wei backhanded his sword and slashed the wolf bandit¡¯s arm. Then, he used all of his battle spirit to chop off the wolf bandit¡¯s entire arm. The wolf bandit cried out in pain. However, his other claw did not stop moving. It clawed at Li Wei¡¯s chest. Li Wei seized the opportunity and grabbed the wolf bandit¡¯s hand with one hand to prevent him from retreating. Then, he endured the intense pain from his wound and raised the yellow longsword to pierce through the wolf bandit¡¯s body. Li Wei was not at ease, so he cast the Light spell he had just learned and hit the wolf bandit¡¯s face. He knew from novels and movies that the undead creatures were difficult to deal with, so he did not plan to hold back. He detonated his battle spirit longsword again and Li Wei flew away to retreat. ¡°Boom!¡± An explosion sounded. Li Wei had underestimated the power of the compressed battle spirit explosion. Just as the shockwave was about to reach him, Owen appeared in a flash and blocked it. ¡°Little lunatic, can you not f*cking play with explosion?¡± Owen scolded loudly after the explosion. Li Wei collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. He did not have the strength to argue with Owen. Seeing Li Wei in this state, Owen knew that he could not move anymore. So, he carried Li Wei on his back and went into the forest. ¡°Teacher, can you let me rest for a while?¡± ¡°You passed the test. Next, I¡¯ll show you what a battle-energy master is!¡± Li Wei did not speak. He knew that Owen wanted to show him the battle between masters. When they reached the nest of the wolf bandits, Owen put Li Wei down and walked in leisurely. Li Wei ignored his pain and followed behind Owen hurriedly. ¡°Who dares to come¡­¡± A patrol leader was killed by Owen before he could finish his sentence. Li Wei followed behind Owen and saw what he had killed one person in every ten steps. Just like that, the two of them had walked to the deepest part of the lair. ¡°You¡¯re here!¡± the wolf bandit who was sitting on a chair said. ¡°You¡¯re not that wolf bandit, are you?¡± Owen narrowed his eyes and asked. ¡°Of course, not. This creature summoned me when he found out that his brother was killed. However, this body is really trash. It¡¯s really difficult for him to defeat you in his condition!¡± As the man spoke, he was drinking a glass of fine wine. If it was not for that wolf head, Li Wei would have thought that this was an incomparably elegant noble. Owen did not say anything. He just quietly condensed a longsword. It was different from the last time. This time, it was half blue and half silver. Owen used his full strength. He could feel that this undead creature would be a threat to him. Seeing this sword, the undead creature looked at it in surprise. ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect that there would still be people who practice this in this world. It seems that I can only retreat for now. I hope that the next time we meet, you won¡¯t be so weak.¡± After saying that, the undead creature disappeared. Owen was shocked. It could unilaterally cancel the undead summoning spell. It seemed that this undead creature was really strong. After the undead creature left, the wolf bandit slowly regained consciousness. ¡°What¡¯s going on?! Didn¡¯t we agree to get rid of the two of them?¡± the wolf bandit cried out in panic. However, what he waited for was not an answer but Owen¡¯s sword. The wolf bandit finally ended his sinful life. This place was finally going to be peaceful. Just as the two of them were about to leave, a figure walked out from the darkness.. Chapter 22 - The Church of Darkness Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Don¡¯t be in such a hurry to leave. Do you want to talk about it?¡± This person was dressed in a black robe and his body was completely covered. ¡°What¡¯s there to talk about, a rat hiding its head and tail!¡± Owen snorted coldly. ¡°My bad. Please don¡¯t be angry, Sir.¡± As he spoke, that person took off his mask and long hat. This was a human! He had black hair and deep black eyes. He was extremely handsome but he gave Li Wei a gloomy feeling. ¡°What¡¯s the relationship between these two wolf bandits and you?¡± Owen asked indifferently. ¡°They¡¯re just pets I kept when I was bored,¡± the man said arrogantly. ¡°So, they massacred the village because of your orders?¡± Li Wei asked somewhat angrily. ¡°That¡¯s right. The sword technique I¡¯ve been practicing recently requires many human souls.¡± The man openly admitted it. ¡°Do you still have any conscience?¡± Even Owen, who had seen the world, could not stand such a cruel person. ¡°Of course, not. Moreover, strong people don¡¯t need such useless things,¡± the man said softly as if it was a matter of fact. Owen and Li Wei were not good people but because of their own beliefs, they could not kill thousands of ordinary people. ¡°To be honest, I really want to kill you with a sword!¡± Li Wei stared at the person in front of him angrily. ¡°Hahaha, then you may try!¡± The man laughed loudly as if he had heard a joke. ¡°Of course, I¡¯m not your opponent. Your opponent is my teacher.¡± ¡°Come on, little mouse, you don¡¯t know what to say. I want to kill you just by looking at you now,¡± Owen said fiercely. However, he did not make a move directly. Instead, he stared at the person opposite him cautiously. ¡°How stupid. You even want to give up the chance to live forever?¡± The person opposite him suddenly became abnormally violent, and then roared in a somewhat irritable manner. ¡°Remember not to practice the undead magic or you¡¯ll become extreme and crazy.¡± Owen turned around and warned Li Wei. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to know so much.¡± The person opposite him suddenly returned to his normal appearance. ¡°Of course, I know a lot. I also know that you¡¯re a remnant of the Church of Darkness!¡± Owen said loudly. ¡°I¡¯m surprised that you knew about it. It looks like I have another reason to kill you,¡± the person on the other side said gloomily. Owen was just guessing, but seeing the man¡¯s reaction, he immediately knew that he was right. ¡°Do it.¡± Owen directly conjured his longsword. The person on the other side began to chant a spell in front of Owen. Owen was slightly surprised, then raised his sword and displayed his signature fighting technique, Baptism Blade. For a moment, the entire room was filled with white light, and Li Wei felt his entire body becoming warm. However, the person from the Church of Darkness opposite him did not have the same feeling as Li Wei. He only felt as if he was about to be melted. At this moment, that person realized that he had been careless. Owen¡¯s strength was somewhat beyond his expectations and he knew light attribute fighting techniques. This was simply his nemesis. ¡°You guys remember, I will not forgive the two of you the next time I return!¡± as he spoke, that person threw out a scroll. Within the scroll was a level-5 undead magic, Undead Barrier. A large amount of undead energy was emitted. After which, it collided with the sword technique, emitting a sizzling sound. This magic was only resisted for an instant before it was swallowed. In an instant, that person had already escaped. Owen sensed the surrounding aura and said, ¡°Spatial teleportation scroll? He really has escaped.¡± Seeing that the person had escaped, Owen brought Li Wei into a secret passage. That person had just exited from here. Owen wanted to investigate properly. The two of them walked in, but what was disappointing was that there were no clues at all. There was only a shabby energy cultivation technique called judgment! Owen quickly put it into his spatial ring. Then, he told Li Wei that he would study it before giving it to him. On their way back, Li Wei asked about undead magic and the Church of Darkness. Owen did not plan to tell Li Wei too much, but Li Wei said that since he had already met them, he had to understand them. He could not meet them again like a blank piece of paper. Hearing this, Owen no longer tried to avoid telling him about it. Through his narration, Li Wei had some preliminary understanding of the two. Three hundred years ago, many gods of the divine realm had established their sects in this world. Among them, there were also evil gods from the underworld, which was the Church of Darkness. Undead magic was its main force. At first, everyone was fighting over their beliefs, but there were no major conflicts. One day, an unexpected thing happened. Many sects were unable to contact the gods they believed in. For a time, all churches fell into a panic. Other than the Church of Darkness, the rest of the gods were not a big deal. After the Church of Darkness communicated with the evil god, they killed 990,000 humans and started the blood sacrifice, opening the gate of the underworld. Thus, a one-sided war began. At first, the humans did not have the strength to fight back, but in the end, under the leadership of the Church of Light, the humans began to show resistance. Wave after wave of humans rushed to the battlefield, fighting with their lives. Finally, after a hundred years of battle, the humans successfully defended their homeland. At that time, only the Church of Light, the Church of Life, and a few other churches were left. Later, the presidents of several churches joined forces to seal the passage between the two worlds. Only then did the war come to an end. After the war, all the humans began to search for and kill the remnants of the Church of Darkness. However, after 200 years, they were still unable to completely eradicate it. At present, only the Holy See, which was the previous Church of Light, still existed. After hearing this, Li Wei could not help but feel shocked. However, he was more worried. He had always felt that since the Church of Darkness had been hiding in the shadows for so long, now that they had come out, it was very likely that they had made a big move in Spano Province. Then, he thought that if the sky fell, there would be a big guy to hold it up. He did not seem to have much to worry about. Just like that, the teacher and student returned to the Holy Knight Village with their worries in mind and told them that the matter had been resolved. Then, they were warmly welcomed by the villagers. Owen and Li Wei sat together at the village chief¡¯s house and ate the celebratory banquet prepared for them. During the banquet, Li Wei did not speak. It was the experienced Owen who kept communicating with the village chief. The village chief was obviously a talkative person, and the two of them chatted happily. ¡°Village chief, do you still remember the name of the knight from your village?¡± The village chief drank in a daze and after a long time, he stammered, ¡°T-the Knight of Judgment. My grandfather told me that.¡± ¡°What Knight of Judgment!?¡± Li Wei and Owen shouted in shock at the same time.. Chapter 23 - The Story of the Knight of Judgment Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li Wei¡¯s shock came from the fact that he had just read a book about the Knight of Judgment or known as Judgment, and his power. Owen, on the other hand, did not expect that this was the hometown of that hero. ¡°Village chief, do you know anything about Judgment, who was known as the Knight of Judgment?¡± Li Wei hurriedly asked. He wanted to hear the story of that knight and see if he could find some ways to cultivate the power of judgment. ¡°Our village was protected by the Knight of Judgment in the past, so we were very powerful. Even the founding of your Spano Academy was all thanks to the guardian of our village. However, a hundred years ago, the guardian of our village disappeared overnight. ¡°As a result, our village was ransacked by the surrounding forces and the records of the Knight of Judgment disappeared as well. Until now, only I know these things in the entire village,¡± the old village chief said helplessly. Li Wei could not help but feel a little disappointed when he heard this. ¡°I did hear some things about Knight of Judgment in the early years, but later, for some reason, its story gradually disappeared,¡± Owen said lightly at this time. ¡°I hope you can tell me a thing or two. I¡¯ll definitely be grateful.¡± As the village chief spoke, he was about to kneel. However, he was held back by Owen¡¯s gentle battle spirit and could not kneel at all. ¡°Old man, you don¡¯t have to do this. I¡¯m going to tell you anyway,¡± Owen said expressionlessly. Then, he cleared his throat and began to tell the story about the legend. ¡°Knight of Judgment, whose real name is unknown. Born in the middle of the war of the two worlds, he has displayed an extremely strong battle spirit talent since he was young. ¡°He started to cultivate after he accidentally obtained a combat energy cultivation method. The first time he appeared in public was when he was only twenty years old. At that time, he had already reached the level of a gold knight. ¡°When he became famous, it was because he was only a gold knight, but he had already crossed levels and killed an undead magic war god who was at the first level of a knight. ¡°After that, he was taken in by the ascetic monks of the Holy See and became their strongest disciple. When he reappeared, Judgment had already become a true Holy Knight. At the same time, he was in charge of the Holy Inquisition of the Holy See. ¡°Then, he led the people of the Holy Inquisition to the battlefield and victory. They became the only team on the human side that could gain an advantage in front of the creatures of the underworld. ¡°However, when the underworld passage was sealed, a demon king attacked the Knight of Judgment. Then, he returned to the Holy See to recuperate. He should¡¯ve died within a hundred years!¡± Owen could not help but feel a sense of regret at the end. Li Wei was also shocked when he heard it. Could there really be such a genius? He felt that even with the system, he could not match up to that kind of rocket-like cultivation speed. ¡°Then, let¡¯s¡­¡± ¡°Come, come, village chief, let¡¯s drink a toast to the honorable Knight of Judgment!¡± Li Wei was about to ask about the energy cultivation method when he was interrupted by Owen¡¯s persuasion. The next day, Li Wei followed Owen out of the Holy Knight village. ¡°Teacher, why didn¡¯t you let me talk about the energy cultivation method yesterday?¡± Li Wei saw that the two of them had already left the Holy Knight Village and asked Owen. ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, that battle energy cultivation method should be created by the Knight of Judgment at his peak. It¡¯s also the only battle energy cultivation method that can cultivate the holy attribute.¡± Owen did not answer but told him the origin of the battle energy cultivation method. ¡°So, we have to hide it from them?¡± Li Wei guessed. ¡°It¡¯s not that we don¡¯t want to tell them. It¡¯s that we can¡¯t tell them. If we tell them, we¡¯ll only harm them. You have to know that this cultivation technique was the most powerful a hundred years ago!¡± Owen said helplessly. ¡°Oh right, could it be that the wolf bandit came for this?¡± Owen shook his head and said, ¡°Impossible. It¡¯s no different from courting death for a dark and death-attributed magician and knight to cultivate divine combat aura.¡± ¡°Teacher, when do we start cultivating this technique?¡± ¡°What do you mean by ¡®we¡¯? It¡¯s mine. This is my spoils of war.¡± ¡­ Just as the two of them were bickering, in a restaurant in Langdon City, two black-robed men were discussing something. ¡°How are things on your side?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say anymore. It¡¯s simply bad luck. I almost got killed back then!¡± ¡°It seems that the strength of this side is going to increase crazily again.¡± ¡°How¡¯s the matter that I asked you to investigate? It shouldn¡¯t be here.¡± ¡°I finally heard a good news. The old fart is gone.¡± ¡°But we can¡¯t lack the things we prepared. If he appears¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡­ In the evening, Owen and Li Wei slowly walked into the academy. Owen taught Li Wei the power of judgment when they parted. Then, Li Wei asked him, ¡°Don¡¯t you want to practice?¡± Owen answered with a dirty look on his face. Owen said that his life attribute power of judgment was the most suitable for him now. Only when he was young could he have sex with more cute little sisters. Hearing this, Li Wei directly went back to his residence. He began to practice the newly acquired cultivation technique. Li Wei modified the cultivation technique in his mind to a hundred years. Then, he realized that he still had not fully understood this cultivation technique. He just barely understood how to cultivate to the bronze knight realm. Li Wei could not help but sigh that Knight of Judgment was indeed a genius of a generation! Then, Li Wei began to circulate his battle spirit. Then, the light elements and fire elements in the air appeared as if they had been summoned. The two elements entered Li Wei¡¯s body along with the battle spirit. Then, under the changes of the cultivation method, they became the battle spirit of the divine attribute. They interacted with Li Wei¡¯s original battle spirit and improved them. At this time, someone would notice that Li Wei was sitting on the bed like a god of light ¨C sacred and inviolable. Gradually, Li Wei¡¯s battle spirit was devoured by the sacred combat aura, and then it continued to grow. Until at a certain moment, a pop sounded in Li Wei¡¯s body. Li Wei had leveled up again, becoming a level-6 intermediate knight. He felt the majestic battle spirit in his body and he could not help but nod his head in satisfaction. Li Wei opened his eyes. At this moment, his eyes did not have a trace of emotion, and they were filled with dignity. Enhanced combat aura ¨C judgment! It would cause more damage to the enemies who committed evil deeds. Moreover, during the battle, the battle spirit would burn the enemies¡¯ souls. ¡­ ¡°Hello, I¡¯m here to collect the reward for the mission,¡± Li Wei walked to the front desk of the Mission Office and said. ¡°Give me your identity crystal card and the Mission Authorization Letter.¡± The receptionist was the same as the last time he came. Li Wei took out his identity crystal card and the authorization letter and handed them to the staff. The girl began to check the information. As for the evidence, the academy had already received the message from the Holy Knight Village. They already knew that the wolf bandit had been killed by the people from their own academy. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, someone has already come to collect the reward for your mission..¡± Chapter 24 - The Church of Darkness Reappears Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°How is that possible? Isn¡¯t the Mission Authorization Letter with me? How could someone else collect the reward?¡± Li Wei asked in disbelief. ¡°Under normal circumstances, yes, but teachers with high cultivation don¡¯t need the Mission Authorization Letter,¡± the receptionist politely replied. ¡°Owen, return me my hard-earned money!¡± Li Wei roared as he left the Mission Office. ¡­ On the training ground, it was rare for Owen to arrive early. ¡°I don¡¯t know what that brat Li Wei is doing every day. He still hasn¡¯t come to training at this hour. He¡¯s late.¡± Owen yawned. ¡°Teacher Owen!¡± At this moment, Li Wei, whose eyes were ablaze, walked over from afar. ¡°Aiya, why is Little Li Wei so angry?¡± Owen asked with a grin. ¡°What do you think, Teacher Owen?¡± Owen looked at Li Wei¡¯s expression and hurriedly explained, ¡°Little Li Wei, you see, I¡¯ve accompanied you for such a long distance this time and have been protecting you all along. Even if I haven¡¯t contributed much, I¡¯ve worked hard. It¡¯s not too much to take some money, right?¡± ¡°Of course it¡¯s not too much, but at least it has to be divided equally between the two of us. What about my share?¡± Li Wei asked with a face full of righteous indignation. ¡°You can give your share to me as a show of respect. After all, I¡¯m an old man. I¡¯ve been through a lot and I still have to be your bodyguard,¡± Owen said with a miserable face. Hearing this, Li Wei had no choice but to stop arguing. He knew that he could not win the argument against this middle-aged scoundrel. Li Wei sat down and continued to cultivate the divine judgment battle spirit. He discovered that this was a cultivation technique that fused the battle spirit and battle technique. After cultivating it for an entire night, Li Wei could clearly feel that his cultivation speed had increased. Now, he wanted to stabilize the battle spirit that he had just leveled up! Just as Li Wei was cultivating, Clayderman walked over. He looked at Li Wei and could not help but feel a little surprised. This kind of pure holy aura might not even be possessed by the people of the Church of Light. ¡°Clayderman, what are you doing here? Is that old man Bill here to cause trouble again?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. That sword attack of yours had scared him out of his wits. How would he dare to come looking for trouble now?¡± ¡°Then, what are you doing here? You¡¯re not going to scold me again, are you?¡± Owen was obviously very unfriendly toward his senior brother. However, there was nothing Owen could do since he had taken the reward money to gamble yesterday. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I already know that a leopard won¡¯t change its spots, so I won¡¯t bother with your stupid matters anymore. It¡¯s Teacher who¡¯s looking for you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re the leopard!¡± Then, Owen flew off into the air. Clayderman looked at the scene of Owen flying away with envy. There was nothing he could do. Owen was the most talented one among them, but he was a little temperamental. After Owen left, Clayderman did not leave. Instead, he stood on the spot to protect Li Wei, who was cultivating. ¡­ Meanwhile, Owen came to Wei Nuo¡¯s small house. ¡°Why did the old man call me here again?¡± Owen sat down unceremoniously on the chair opposite Wei Nuo. ¡°How dare you call your teacher that?¡± Wei Nuo asked in a bad mood. ¡°Are you going to tell me or not? If you don¡¯t, I¡¯m leaving.¡± Owen turned around and was about to leave. ¡°You little b*stard, you¡¯re already so old and still so ill-tempered. Sit down, this is serious business!¡± Wei Nuo also had no way to deal with this student of his who was so jumpy. ¡°Then, tell me.¡± Owen heard that there was serious business, so he did not fool around anymore. ¡°You found the whereabouts of the Church of Darkness in the Holy Knight Village?¡± Wei Nuo poured two cups of coffee. Then, he took a sip from his cup. ¡°Yes, that person ran away when he saw the Baptism Blade. I don¡¯t know his specific strength, but he¡¯s definitely not weak,¡± Owen thought for a moment and said. ¡°It seems that the problem this time is really serious,¡± Wei Nuo sighed and said. Owen, who was an impatient person, could not stand the pace of speech. He hurriedly urged Wei Nuo, ¡°Don¡¯t keep me in suspense. Hurry up and tell me what happened!¡± ¡°During the few days when you went to Holy Knight Village with Li Wei, something happened in Langdon City. ¡°First, there were people who went missing. The academy¡¯s scouting team and the City Lord¡¯s guards jointly searched for them but to no avail. ¡°After a few days, those people came back unscathed. At first, everyone treated it as nothing, but just now, those people had self-detonated. ¡°Moreover, they self-detonated with the undead magic. Fortunately, the people from the church arrived in time. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.¡± ¡°You mean that this is the work of the Church of Darkness?¡± Owen asked with uncertainty. Wei Nuo nodded. Owen asked with some confusion, ¡°What¡¯s the big deal? Isn¡¯t it just a group of terrorists who created an explosion?¡± ¡°Sigh, if that¡¯s really the case, that would be great. The people from the Church of Darkness never do anything without a purpose. ¡°From the wolf bandits raiding villages to this explosion, I think there¡¯s a certain connection. However, I¡¯m not too sure about their motives.¡± ¡°You want me to investigate?¡± Owen asked. ¡°Yes, you¡¯re the only person the academy can send out now,¡± Wei Nuo replied. ¡°Sigh, I¡¯m really born with a hard life. I didn¡¯t expect to be given such a task after accepting a student. But don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely complete the task.¡± Owen first complained but then promised to do what he should. ¡°It¡¯s been hard on you, but this matter is no small matter. You must handle it carefully. Don¡¯t lose your life,¡± Wei Nuo was a little worried as he instructed Owen. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Old Man, I¡¯ll be careful. I¡¯ll be troubling you for the next few days with Li Wei.¡± After saying that, Owen got up and left. ¡­ Li Wei gradually stopped circulating his battle spirit and opened his eyes. ¡°Uncle Clayderman? Where¡¯s my teacher?¡± Li Wei looked at the person in front of him and asked in puzzlement. ¡°Teacher has something that he wants Owen to do. I¡¯ll stay here to protect you.¡± Li Wei nodded when he heard that. However, he could not help but feel a little curious. Why did Wei Nuo call Owen away in such a hurry? ¡°Alright, don¡¯t think too much. There are things you¡¯ll know when the time comes. Now, I want to tell you something. ¡°The divine meteorite space is about to open, so make preparations in the next few days. If there¡¯s anything you need, you can tell me or Teacher.¡± ¡°Divine meteorite space? What¡¯s that?¡± Li Wei asked with some confusion. ¡°You don¡¯t even know about the divine meteorite space? Owen didn¡¯t tell you?¡± Clayderman asked with his eyes wide open. Li Wei shook his head. ¡°This guy really forgets everything when he plays. Let¡¯s see how I¡¯ll discipline him when he comes back.¡± As he said this, Clayderman was a little worried about Owen. He knew what his junior brother was going to do. Originally, this kind of thing should be done by him as a senior brother. However, his strength was not strong enough, so he could only let his junior brother go. However, Clayderman quickly gathered his emotions and explained to Li Wei about the divine meteorite space.. Chapter 25 - The Divine Meteorite Space and the Strongest Genius of the Academy Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°The divine meteorite space is a battlefield from a hundred years ago. Only god knows how many Dharma Gods and Holy Knights had fought there before, either bleeding or dying. ¡°After the war ended, a few peerless experts worked together to seal it after removing the aura of the dead. Thus, the present divine meteorite space was created. It was especially used as a training ground for the young people of the Spano Province and the Casar Province.¡± Li Wei could not help but ask as he listened to Clayderman¡¯s narration, ¡°What benefits will there be?¡± ¡°Magic potions, Magical Beasts, the remnants of magic wands and staffs as well as some battle technique inheritances left behind by experts on their deathbeds,¡± Clayderman said slowly. Li Wei¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard this. He knew that there was a great opportunity in this space. ¡°Don¡¯t be so excited. This time, there are high-level magicians and a little monster from the Battle Spirit Academy as participants. Moreover, all the forces will be there. ¡°Even the royal family and people from the imperial capital will be there,¡± Clayderman said with a smile on his face. He knew that Li Wei could fight across levels. Although those people were not to be trifled with, he was still extremely confident in his teacher¡¯s foresight. ¡°This is so scary. These are geniuses from all over the country,¡± Li Wei suddenly said unhappily. For some reason, Clayderman suddenly wanted to beat Li Wei up. ¡°Okay, there¡¯s still a week. During this time, you can learn under Teacher¡¯s guidance,¡± Clayderman said with envy. It must be known that he and Owen had not practiced by the teacher¡¯s side for long. Most of the time, it was the black-faced senior brother who came to teach them. Thus, Clayderman urged Li Wei to quickly pack up some things. The following week would be spent at Wei Nuo¡¯s house. Li Wei was not ambiguous. He now knew how powerful Wei Nuo was. It was definitely a great benefit to be able to learn from him. Li Wei packed his luggage and quickly followed Clayderman into the small forest where Wei Nuo lived. ¡°Come in.¡± When Clayderman was about to bow and call for the door, Wei Nuo¡¯s old voice sounded. ¡°Li Wei, do you need weapons? If you do, I can ask Clayderman for help,¡± Wei Nuo looked at the two people who came in and said. ¡°Can I?¡± Li Wei looked carefully at Clayderman. ¡°Why are you looking at me? Don¡¯t make me look like an iron rooster!¡± Clayderman said loudly. ¡°No, no, no. I¡¯m just afraid that Uncle will need to spend some money,¡± Li Wei hurriedly explained. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Your uncle can be said to be one of the wealthiest in the Spano Province. The money for making a weapon for you is just a drop in the ocean,¡± seeing the scene in front of him, Wei Nuo said with a smile. ¡°Then, I want this kind of sword. It can be used as a staff and a sword,¡± Li Wei raised his longsword and said. ¡°Yes, no problem. But Teacher, I want to get Li Wei a magic sword of the seventh rank. Can you support it?¡± Clayderman rubbed his hands and said. ¡°Yes, but I need you to imprint this magic into it.¡± Wei Nuo agreed immediately. Then, he handed a scroll and four magic crystals to Clayderman. ¡°Thank you, Teacher.¡± Clayderman immediately became very happy. After Clayderman left, Li Wei asked in puzzlement, ¡°Why is Grandpa Wei Nuo so happy to let Uncle Clayderman spend money?¡± ¡°Do you think he¡¯s buying you a magic wand? He¡¯s an alchemist himself,¡± Wei Nuo chuckled as he explained. Hearing this, Li Wei suddenly understood. Alchemy was a special profession, a branch of the magician¡¯s profession. Magic tools and staffs were all created by them. The talent of an alchemist was something that could only be found by chance. Therefore, most alchemists were symbols of wealth. ¡­ A week had passed in the blink of an eye. Li Wei walked out of the forest. ¡°It¡¯s finally over!¡± Li Wei said happily. Yes, it was finally over. Li Wei now understood what grueling training was. This week, Wei Nuo did not have any other fancy training. It was just simple combat and training. Although Wei Nuo was not a knight, with his powerful battle spirit and sufficient combat experience, he was able to beat Li Wei to a bitter end. Every time Li Wei was covered in wounds, Wei Nuo would force him to apply medicine and continue to train his battle spirit. Although Li Wei had not made any breakthroughs in his level this week, his strength was already very different from a week ago. In the central square, everyone was anxiously waiting. The dimensional portal was here. Li Wei hid in the crowd and did not show himself. ¡°Who do you think will gain more from our academy this time?¡± a person beside Li Wei asked softly. ¡°I think it should be Scarty. He¡¯s a high-level magician and has a level-6 magic staff.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t agree. I think Diss has a higher chance of winning. After all, he managed to catch up with the opening of the divine meteorite space last time and even obtained a treasure!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that there¡¯s a monster in the Battle Spirit Academy? What do you think of that person?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of him, but he should be very strong. However, no matter how strong he is, he can¡¯t be compared to a magician of the same level in this kind of space, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s hard to say. The monsters in the Battle Spirit Academy can¡¯t be estimated with common sense.¡± ¡­ Everyone was discussing fervently. Some were considering who would receive the most goods while others were discussing whether they would be able to gain anything. Li Wei was silent. He was analyzing the information from their discussion. ¡­ Just as everyone was discussing, someone shouted, ¡°Look, Scarty and Diss are here.¡± Li Wei looked up as well. The two of them were walking side by side. Scarty was publicly acknowledged to have the highest cultivation in the academy. He was a high-level magician at the peak of level-8 with the rare ice element. Diss was the strongest among the academy¡¯s oldest batch of students. He had been in the academy for five years and was in the same class as Li Wei. He was a magician with a dark element. Li Wei silently recited the information of the two in his mind. However, this was not important. Right now, he wanted to know more about the only disciple of the Battle Spirit Academy who was called a monster by Clayderman and Wei Nuo. ¡°This is a genius. I feel so weak.¡± At this moment, a voice sounded from above Li Wei¡¯s head. Li Wei looked up and saw a little girl who was only eight or nine years old sitting on a tree. ¡°Oh no, the voice is too loud.¡± The little girl quickly covered her ears. ¡°Who are you? What are you doing there?¡± Li Wei was shocked when he saw the little girl. He was sure that there was no one on the tree when he came. The little girl¡¯s appearance on the tree meant that she had done a good job in hiding her aura. ¡°Who I am has nothing to do with you. Don¡¯t talk too much or else I¡¯ll rip your head off and kick it like a ball!¡± The little girl bared her teeth and threatened. ¡°Oh no, I¡¯m so scared,¡± Li Wei said with a smile.. Chapter 26 - Cassano Academy with Ill Intentions Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation It was rare for Li Wei to be free, so he suddenly had the intention to tease this girl. ¡°You dare to tease me?¡± The girl widened her eyes and stared at Li Wei. Then, Li Wei felt a wave of power directed at his soul. ¡°Such a fierce power!¡± Li Wei said in surprise. ¡°Tsk, I thought you were powerful. How dare you flirt with me, you weakling?!¡± the little girl withdrew her imposing manner and said disdainfully. Li Wei was greatly shocked. He guessed that this little girl was the monster of the Battle Spirit Academy. He did not expect the monster to be so powerful! Looking at the silent Li Wei, the little girl¡¯s gaze suddenly stopped on Li Wei¡¯s chest. Li Wei noticed that the little girl¡¯s gaze was a little different as he asked, ¡°What kind of gaze is that? If you want to drink milk, go home!¡± Li Wei did not know if it was because he had recently been beaten up and became mentally deranged or if it was because of Owen¡¯s infection, he had learned the habit of running his mouth. ¡°Kid, if you want to die, just say it. I¡¯ll help you. You don¡¯t have to run your mouth every time you open it.¡± The little girl¡¯s face was completely red from Li Wei¡¯s words. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I haven¡¯t been myself lately!¡± Li Wei hurriedly apologized. ¡°Tsk, what do you have in your arms? It looks very delicious!¡± The little girl spoke as she drooled. Li Wei was also puzzled. What did he have in his arms that would interest this devilish little girl? Li Wei fumbled for a while and finally found it. It was the seed of the ambergris grass that he had accidentally obtained. The little girl¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw it. ¡°Yes, yes, yes, that¡¯s it. I want it. What do you want in exchange for it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not necessary. I still have a use for it.¡± Li Wei directly refused. Li Wei had the help of the system. He was still waiting for the seed to mature in the future. ¡°Really, you can have anything you want. I¡¯ll exchange it with you!¡± Although Li Wei did not know why this little girl was so eager to have the useless seed of ambergris grass, he really did not need anything. ¡°No need. Look, I have all these things I need. Why would I want your things?¡± Li Wei raised his unattractive wand sword. ¡°That¡¯s a good item,¡± the little girl said. Of course, it was a good item. This was the magic wand that Clayderman had custom-made for Li Wei. It was made of precious materials. It was a rare magic wand sword that could strengthen the holy aura. In addition, there were three additional spells. Mirror Spell: create a clone and control it with spiritual power. Holy Enhancement Spell: increase the efficiency and power of the transmission of the holy battle spirit. Teleportation: Teleport within a 50-meter radius three times a day. This was practically a must-have for going out to train and kill! The three skills had practically raised Li Wei¡¯s strength by several levels. Just as Li Wei was chatting with the little Lolita in the corner, the people in the square began to form their own teams. After all, entering the divine meteorite dimension was still dangerous. Forming a team with the people from their own academy was a wise move. ¡°Does anyone want to form a team with me? I can protect you. Everyone only needs to give me 10,000 gold coins,¡± at this moment, Scarty shouted. ¡°Me too!¡± Diss also shouted. For a moment, there was a riot in the square. Everyone had to register their names. However, the two of them only needed ten people. Thus, the square became an auction ground for nearly a hundred people. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you going?¡± Little Lolita asked Li Wei curiously. ¡°The two of them might not be able to defeat me. Why should I give them my money?¡± Li Wei shrugged and said. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so confident. Why don¡¯t you give me that thing and I¡¯ll protect you,¡± little Lolita said to Li Wei. ¡°No need. I don¡¯t think anyone can protect me. Thank you.¡± Li Wei refused. ¡°Boring.¡± The little Lolita turned her head and ignored the arrogant Li Wei. Just as the square was bustling with noise, a group of people arrived in a magic conducting spaceship. This was the military magic conducting spaceship of the army. The people from the other factions had arrived. Looking at the people from Cassano Academy who were decorated with the Holy See, everyone slowly got off the spaceship. ¡°It seems that Spano Academy hasn¡¯t made much progress in the past two years.¡± The leader of Spano Academy was a flamboyant young man. At this moment, he was arrogantly commenting on the people from Spano Academy. The people from Spano Academy wanted to refute, but they did not know what to say. It was because the other party was a level-10 magician named Carter. Looking at the silent people from Spano Academy, the person spoke again. ¡°Your geniuses are called Scarty and Diss, right? I hope the two of you won¡¯t run into me. I won¡¯t be as lenient as I was two years ago!¡± After saying that, he laughed loudly. ¡°That¡¯s right, Big Brother Carter, we mustn¡¯t let the people from Spano Academy gain anything.¡± At this moment, a person walked out from the crowd. It was Will! Everyone was shocked. They did not expect that someone from the Cassano Academy would target the Spano Academy now. ¡°Did you hear my little brother¡¯s request? Just pray that you don¡¯t meet me or else I¡¯ll let you know what cruelty is. Right, isn¡¯t there a little monster in your Battle Spirit Academy? Why isn¡¯t he coming out? Is he too afraid to show his face?¡± Carter continued to mock. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to deal with this guy?¡± Li Wei turned around and asked the little Lolita. ¡°Whatever. It¡¯ll be fine as long as I get to see him ripping his head off in the future,¡± the little Lolita said nonchalantly. ¡°By the way, do you have a person called Li Wei here? I hope he can be a little more careful and not meet me.¡± Li Wei could not help but feel a little shocked when he heard this. Will was actually doing so well in Cassano Academy? ¡°Big Brother, it seems that Spano Academy really doesn¡¯t have any courageous people. We¡¯ve already called out the names but they still haven¡¯t come out,¡± one of Carter¡¯s underlings immediately said while flattering Carter. ¡°Looks like that old fellow called Scarty isn¡¯t much either!¡± ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡± Suddenly, a voice rang out. Then, a fist smashed into Carter¡¯s face. As a result, Carter flew out. The figure was about to continue chasing after Carter but was stopped by an old man. ¡°Little girl, give me some face. Let him go.¡± ¡°Old man, if he says another word, I¡¯ll rip his head off!¡± Hearing this, the old man smiled and agreed. ¡°Alright, stop messing around, Milan.¡± At this moment, Clayderman walked out. ¡°Understood, Uncle.¡± Milan stuck out her tongue and obediently stood behind him. Li Wei looked at the little Lolita and could not help but feel a chill run down his spine. She was too terrifying. ¡°Bishop, let¡¯s begin.¡± ¡°Alright, Master Clayderman.¡± After exchanging pleasantries with Clayderman, the old man took out a key and threw it into the air! The divine meteorite dimension had officially opened! The battle for the 300 geniuses from the three forces had officially begun! Chapter 27 - Conspiracy of the Church of Darkness Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Everyone rushed toward the dimension portal. Not willing to be left behind, Li Wei pulled up to the little Lolita beside him and entered. Just as Li Wei and the others entered the divine meteorite space, a black figure fell from the sky. ¡°Owen!¡± Clayderman saw clearly the figure lying on the ground and immediately shouted. ¡°Is that Owen?¡± The bishop was also greatly shocked. Owen was a famous figure in the entire kingdom, but now he was beaten up all over and was fleeing for his life in a sorry state. What kind of battle was this? ¡°Bishop, quickly help me bring Owen to my teacher.¡± ¡°That gentleman is still here?¡± The bishop was even more shocked. He knew of Clayderman¡¯s teacher, but he did not expect that person to still be in Spano Academy. ¡°Of course, stop talking nonsense and hurry up!¡± Clayderman shouted anxiously. The bishop did not intend to blame him. He quickly used his level-6 healing of light to help Owen. Then, the two lifted Owen and walked toward Wei Nuo¡¯s residence. ¡°Teacher, something bad has happened!¡± Clayderman came to the wooden house and shouted. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Wei Nuo came to the side of the three people in the blink of an eye. The bishop bowed respectfully to Wei Nuo and he waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary. ¡°Sorry to trouble you! It¡¯s the magic of death!¡± Wei Nuo said in shock. Clayderman was a little puzzled. ¡°I remember that your pope once gave you a piece of Angel Feather, right?¡± Wei Nuo raised his head and asked the bishop. The bishop did not hesitate and immediately took out the feather. Wei Nuo took out the feather and began to chant a spell. Even Clayderman could not understand it at all. The bishop was shocked. ¡°What magic is this?¡± Clayderman asked the bishop in a low voice. ¡°This is the holy spell of our church, the Angel Healing Spell. It has long been lost. I didn¡¯t expect Teacher Wei Nuo to know it too.¡± That was right, the bishop had received Wei Nuo¡¯s guidance before. Clayderman did not feel anything. His teacher was omnipotent. As the light elements entered his body, Owen¡¯s aura gradually calmed down. Wei Nuo heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Damn it, looks like the Church of Darkness is going to play big this time,¡± Wei Nuo said with some worry. ¡°This matter has something to do with the Church of Darkness? I¡¯ll report it to the headquarters.¡± Saying that, the bishop was about to leave. ¡°Wait, this matter cannot be known by the headquarters of the Holy See!¡± Wei Nuo stopped the bishop. ¡°But once¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m here. This place will not be in chaos!¡± Wei Nuo glanced at the bishop and carried Owen back to the wooden house. Clayderman and the bishop, who had been stopped at a loss, also followed him in. After putting Owen on the bed, Wei Nuo started to rummage through Owen¡¯s body. Every time Owen carried out a mission, he would bring a recording magic device. Wei Nuo was looking for it. ¡°Junior Brother has an spatial ring.¡± Clayderman reminded. Wei Nuo only then realized that he had forgotten about the spatial ring because his beloved student had been hurt and was in a mess. Finally, Wei Nuo found the recording magic device in the spatial ring. The time went back to last night. After six days of investigation, Owen finally found traces of the Church of Darkness. However, the clues stopped when they reached the City Lord¡¯s mansion. Then, Owen visited the City Lord¡¯s mansion at night and found that it was empty except for two people in black robes talking about something. The conversation between the two was clearly heard by Owen, who was hiding in the dark. Basically, it was to give everyone in the world a surprise today. Of course, there was something in the divine meteorite space. The two seemed to have full confidence in how to enter it. Then, the two went to the depths of the Magical Beast Forest. Owen followed them from behind. After the two of them went into the depths of the forest, they entered a cave. Owen knew that there would be danger but he still gritted his teeth and followed them in. The two people inside seemed to be kneeling and worshiping something. Owen focused his gaze and saw that it was a monster corpse with six arms and a body covered in pitch black. Then, Owen was discovered. However, it was not the two of them who had discovered Owen but the corpse. A corpse had actually launched an attack at Owen and he was injured in just one strike. Following that, the two joined forces to launch an attack at Owen. In the end, Owen risked his serious injuries to escape. He hid from them and finally arrived at Spano Academy at noon. At this time, the magic recording device turned black. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the Church of Darkness to be so big this time!¡± Wei Nuo exhaled and said. ¡°Why don¡¯t I understand the purpose of the Church of Darkness?¡± Clayderman asked in puzzlement. ¡°That¡¯s because you¡¯re only interested in alchemy. You¡¯re not interested in anything else,¡± Wei Nuo smiled and said. Since he knew what the other party was going to do, it would be much easier for him to deal with it. ¡°That¡¯s the Six-handed Corpse King of the true god realm, right?¡± the bishop asked with some uncertainty. ¡°That¡¯s right. It seems that you haven¡¯t wasted your time in the church all these years.¡± Looking at the recording just now, it seemed that this undead corpse already had a trace of a soul, but it still needed a huge amount of energy to drive a powerful body. The best source of that energy was its former divine spark! So, they needed someone to enter the divine meteorite space because that undead corpse¡¯s former divine spark was sealed there. Also, they needed to do their best to investigate what the City Lord¡¯s family had experienced before they disappeared, and who they had come into contact with. ¡°To be able to injure Owen and silently exterminate the City Lord¡¯s family, it seemed like the strength of the people this time was not simple. Clayderman, call your eldest senior brother back. ¡°Little guy, round up a group of people who can be trusted with the light attribute. Remember, you must not trust people easily. The Church of Darkness is omnipresent. ¡°Then, the two of you will go and investigate the people who entered the divine meteorite space. If there are any suspicious people, immediately handle them when they come out.¡± Wei Nuo gave a series of orders after explaining. Now, he had to think of all ways to stop that corpse from resurrecting. Just as he was preparing for battle outside, Li Wei met his first batch of opponents in the divine meteorite space. ¡°I say, we¡¯re all from the same academy. Is there a need for you to treat me like this?¡± Li Wei asked the little Lolita with his hands spread out. ¡°We don¡¯t want to be like this either, but who asked you to be so weak and even get the treasure? As long as you hand over the treasure, we¡¯ll let you go. How about that?¡± It was Diss who stood opposite him. ¡°Nothing much. I¡¯m born with superiority so it¡¯s impossible for me to admit defeat. So, let¡¯s use whatever means you have!¡± Li Wei said as he tossed the purple gold in his hand. ¡°Then don¡¯t blame me for being impolite!¡± Diss said fiercely. Although Li Wei was already a famous person in the academy, he had only defeated a mere level-5 magician yet, he dared to challenge him. It seemed that he really was tired of living. After saying that, Diss immediately began to chant a spell.. Chapter 28 - Ruling State Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Seeing that Diss was chanting, Li Wei did not hesitate. He immediately moved forward, ready to engage in close combat with him. Diss¡¯ minions chanted spells or threw out magic scrolls. Although most of them were only level-2 or level-3 spells, Li Wei could not withstand the bombardment of more than ten spells. Hence, he could only retreat. While Li Wei was retreating, the little Lolita beside him snorted lightly and rushed forward. ¡°Be careful!¡± Li Wei shouted. The little Lolita did not even turn her head and directly rushed into the attack range of the spell. Then, a series of explosions occurred. Li Wei could only forcefully withstand the aftershocks and enter the explosion range. When he entered the explosion range which was filled with smoke and dust, he suddenly felt a powerful life force awakening in front of him. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Li Wei felt the aura of the little Lolita, Milan. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, leave these bunch of trash who only know how to fight among themselves to me.¡± Milan¡¯s tender voice rang out. ¡°Don¡¯t be rash, kill Diss first. He knows level-4 magic!¡± Li Wei shouted worriedly. At the same time, he rushed in the direction where Diss had been. Li Wei had just passed through the smoke and arrived at Diss¡¯ previous position when he realized that he had already run off to god knew where. Li Wei quickly activated his spiritual detection to search for Diss¡¯ whereabouts. Just as Li Wei was doing that, a series of miserable screams came from the smoke. Li Wei knew that the violent little Lolita had started hunting. However, there was no sign of Diss on his side. Li Wei could not help but feel a little anxious. ¡°Looking for me, cute student Li Wei?¡± Diss¡¯ voice came from all directions. Li Wei could not tell where Diss was at the moment. ¡°Don¡¯t waste your energy. This is just a phonograph magic wand. I¡¯m chanting a spell, how can I have time to talk to you? Student Li Wei, please enjoy my performance of Dark Star Devour!¡± Diss¡¯ arrogant voice made Li Wei flustered. How could someone be so pretentious? They even prepared a tape recorder for a fight? Of course, he did not know that Diss was learning from a certain genius and unscrupulous teacher in the academy. ¡°It¡¯s really noisy!¡± the little Lolita walked to Li Wei¡¯s side and said while covering her ears. Li Wei could not help but be a little surprised when he saw the little Lolita. She had withstood many magic spells, yet this little girl was still unharmed! Just some dust on her clothes? Was this the power of a monster? ¡°Bloom! Dark Star Devour!¡± Just as Li Wei was shocked, Diss¡¯ voice sounded. This time, it was not the phonograph magic wand, but the real Diss. This was a level-5 spell. Diss was only able to use it with the help of the staff in his hand. Li Wei identified the direction and rushed out abruptly! However, it was already too late. Diss had already cast his spell. In an instant, black stars appeared in front of Li Wei. He regretted his impulsiveness. He should have dodged and waited for an opportunity to move instead of rushing forward recklessly. It was already too late. Li Wei could have relied on his superb swordsmanship and powerful fighting skills to combat the attacks. However, he was absolutely no match for this magic. The destructive power of the mid to high-level magicians who released the magic was too astonishing. Since he had already charged here, how could Li Wei retreat again? Li Wei mustered all the battle spirit in his body and instantly entered the judgment state. A pair of golden emotionless eyes stared at the dark star in front of him. ¡°Darkness is sin.¡± In an instant, the battle spirit in Li Wei¡¯s body began to surge. Then, countless divine battle spirit burst out and firmly bound the dark star. The dark star was like ice and snow that had seen flames, gradually melting. Li Wei looked at Diss. ¡°Release the sinner and die!¡± Li Wei raised the sword in his hand and swung it down. Then, Li Wei half-knelt on the ground and panted heavily as if he had collapsed. Meanwhile, Diss was dismembered. The little Lolita was so shocked that she could not close her mouth. She did not expect Li Wei, who was weak in her eyes, to kill Diss so easily. ¡°Not bad. Diss¡¯ level-5 magic wasn¡¯t even able to do anything to you.¡± Milan skipped over. At this moment, Li Wei did not even have the strength to speak. He had been too careless this time. He had allowed Diss to successfully complete his magic. If it was not for the fact that Li Wei had coincidentally trained in the judgment state and was able to restrain Diss, he might have been doomed this time. Even so, Li Wei still used up all his moves and exhausted his battle spirit. ¡°Protect me!¡± Li Wei said in a low voice and began to meditate on the spot. ¡°Tsk, you dare to order me around. Watch how I¡¯ll teach you a lesson in the future!¡± the little Lolita said. However, she still vigilantly observed her surroundings. ¡­ ¡°Huh? What¡¯s the delicious smell?¡± The little Lolita, who had been chatting for a long time, suddenly smelled something. ¡°Damn you, Li Wei. It¡¯s all your fault. You made me miss out on delicious food. When you wake up, I¡¯ll definitely teach you a lesson!¡± The little Lolita could not help but gnash her teeth as she looked at Li Wei, who was sitting cross-legged, cultivating. ¡°How are you going to teach me a lesson?¡± Li Wei opened his eyes and asked with a smile. ¡°You¡¯re awake? Come with me quickly. There¡¯s delicious food!¡± Seeing that Li Wei had woken up, the little Lolita took the lead and rushed into the distance. Li Wei could only shake his head helplessly and follow her. He was also very curious. Previously, the little Lolita had said that the ambergris grass was delicious. This time, what would she say? In the distance, two magical beasts were fighting. It was a five-meter-tall Earth Demon Bear and a human-faced poisonous spider. The two giant beasts were using their special abilities and were madly biting each other. ¡°What are they fighting for?¡± Li Wei and Milan quietly came to a dark spot and observed the two magic beasts fighting. ¡°Who knows, but it¡¯s definitely delicious!¡± Milan was a little dissatisfied. She had originally planned to directly go and fight for it, but Li Wei said that he wanted to reap the benefits first and stopped her. ¡°Do you only know how to eat?¡± Li Wei was a little speechless. ¡°Why? Do you have a problem with that?¡± Milan looked at Li Wei from the corner of her eyes. Li Wei shook his head repeatedly. He did not dare to. Who dared to have a problem with a violent little Lolita? Just as the two of them were talking, the battle was nearing its end. Finally, the Earth Demon Bear was still no match for the treacherous man-faced poisonous spider as the latter had poisoned the former. The Earth Demon Bear could only let out an indignant roar before it collapsed with a loud bang. Following the Earth Demon Bear¡¯s collapse, Li Wei and Milan finally saw the true appearance of the treasure. It was actually a well! That well emitted a dense aura of life. Even from a distance, Li Wei could feel it. Li Wei looked at Milan, who was about to drool on the ground, and could not help but feel a little helpless. ¡°Do you want to know what that is?¡± Milan suddenly turned around and asked Li Wei.. Chapter 29 - The Start of the Treasure Hunt. The Terror of the People from the Holy See Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°You know?¡± Li Wei looked at Milan in front of him. ¡°Of course, I know what that is. Do you think I¡¯m a country bumpkin like you?¡± Milan said with a proud face. ¡°Then, tell me.¡± Although he was very unhappy to be called a country bumpkin by a nine-year-old girl, Li Wei still decided to bear the humiliation. ¡°That¡¯s an elf companion well!¡± Milan said proudly. ¡°Elf companion well? Is It related to the elves?¡± Li Wei asked with some confusion. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to know about the elves. Not bad.¡± Milan looked at Li Wei with the gratified look of an old father. Li Wei felt uncomfortable and asked unhappily, ¡°Are you going to tell me or not?!¡± ¡°Since you¡¯re asking me sincerely, then I¡¯ll be merciful and tell you! ¡°It¡¯s indeed related to the elf race. This is the most precious part of the elf race. It¡¯s rumored that this was the first elf in the world, which was also the well that was naturally born between heaven and Earth when the elven goddess was born. ¡°Every elf will come here to receive baptism when they become adults. They¡¯ll pour out the well water to soak in it to improve their aptitude,¡± Milan explained. ¡°Then, will the well water be useful to humans?¡± When Li Wei heard that his aptitude could be changed, he became very excited. Although he did not know if he could break through his barrier, it would still be very good if he could increase his cultivation speed by a small realm. ¡°Even magical beasts can fight because of it. Do you think it will be useful to humans?¡± Milan said unhappily. ¡°So, you want to drink someone else¡¯s bathwater?¡± Li Wei asked with a smile on his face. After being defeated by the little Lolita for so long, he also wanted to fight back. ¡°Do you want to die? The kind where the body is separated from the body?¡± Milan asked coldly. ¡°I don¡¯t want to. Can you tell me about the elf clan?¡± Li Wei hurriedly changed the topic. ¡°The elf clan? I¡¯m not too sure about that. I only know that they were a race from ten thousand years ago. ¡°Their overall strength can be ranked in the top three in this world. However, for some unknown reason, they disappeared later on. Now, they can no longer be seen in this world.¡± ¡°Alright then.¡± Just as Li Wei and Milan were talking, a group of people appeared beside the human-faced poisonous spider. It was a group of more than ten people from the Cassano Academy. The leader of the group was the person with the strongest cultivation, Carter. It was obvious that he was prepared for this. As soon as he appeared, he cast a level-5 spell, Meteor Fire. Fireballs fell like meteors, dyeing the sky red. The meteors struck the human-faced poisonous spider as fast as lightning. It was a type of magic beast that relied on agility and poison hence its defense was extremely weak. When it encountered such a powerful spell that could not be dodged, it could only passively take a beating. The spider was in so much pain that it made strange noises. While Carter was casting his magic, his underlings were not idle either. They chanted spells and released all kinds of magic. For a moment, the sky was filled with all kinds of colors. After the fire meteor ended, all kinds of magic fell on the spider. In just a moment, the spider was dying. The human-faced poisonous spider was lying on the ground, unable to even let out a noise. Carter was not in a hurry to collect the spring water. Instead, he looked around and shouted, ¡°Those who are hiding in the dark, come out!¡± This sentence shocked Li Wei. Had they been discovered? When Li Wei arrived, he had already discovered the people from the Cassano Academy. However, he did not alarm them. Instead, he brought the little Lolita and hid. He did not expect to be discovered in the end. Just as Li Wei decided to appear, a burst of hearty laughter rang out. ¡°Hahaha, as expected of Carter. As expected of the number one person from the Cassano Academy! I didn¡¯t expect that you¡¯d have discovered us.¡± It was a group of people from the Holy See! ¡°You guys aren¡¯t very careful in hiding!¡± Carter said gloomily. Fortunately, he had a trick up his sleeve. Otherwise, he would really be tricked by this guy. ¡°There¡¯s no need to hide. I just want to see what kind of strength you have!¡± the leader of the group of people from the Holy See said indifferently. ¡°You¡¯ve already seen what kind of ability I have. But I¡¯m curious who exactly are you?¡± Carter asked curiously. In the information given to him by the academy, there was no information about this person. ¡°You don¡¯t need to know who I am. Leave now or you might not have the chance to stand up again in the future.¡± Facing the proud Carter, the man¡¯s arrogance was no less than Carter¡¯s. When had Carter ever been treated with such an attitude? He was immediately furious! ¡°Do you have the right to fight me?¡± Carter cast the spell that he had secretly prepared, level-5 spell, Phoenix Wings. The lifelike Phoenix Wings swept down. The young man from the Holy See only smiled for a moment and then said two words softly, ¡°Light barrier!¡± Immediately, a light screen rose, protecting the people of the Holy See behind it. Instant cast level-4 spell, Light Barrier! Li Wei was stunned for a moment. Of course, Li Wei was not the only one who was shocked. Carter was also shocked. After being stunned for a moment, Carter said fiercely, ¡°So, what if it¡¯s instant-cast? Do you want to use a level-4 spell to block a level-5 spell?¡± As he said that, under the control of his spiritual power, he fiercely smashed the Fire Phoenix toward the barrier of light. To everyone¡¯s surprise, the Fire Phoenix actually broke together with the barrier of light! ¡°How is this possible?!¡± Carter¡¯s face was filled with disbelief. ¡°What¡¯s impossible? A level-5 spell is indeed stronger than a level-4 spell, but it depends on who¡¯s using it, right?¡± that person said in a relaxed manner. ¡°Fine, you win. Let¡¯s retreat!¡± Carter was also very decisive. After knowing that the other party was not an existence that he could fight against, he immediately gave the order to retreat. ¡°Hehe, you¡¯re still tactful. You didn¡¯t put up a stubborn resistance!¡± That person laughed. He did not intend to intervene and stop Carter¡¯s group. After Carter¡¯s group left, that person from the Holy See turned his head to take a look. That glance coincidentally met Li Wei¡¯s gaze. ¡°Come out. I know you¡¯re there. Your battle aura is as obvious to me as the bright moon!¡± Li Wei, who was hiding in the dark, heard this and knew that the other party had already discovered him. He did not hide anymore and directly walked out. ¡°How did you find out?¡± Li Wei pulled the little Lolita out. ¡°Do you think a person with divine battle spirit can hide his aura in front of me?¡± that person spread his hands and said. ¡°I was indeed careless!¡± Li Wei had underestimated the sensitivity of the people from the church of the Holy See. ¡°Li Wei, right?¡± That person from the church raised his eyes and asked with a smile. Li Wei nodded. ¡°I¡¯m very curious about you. What kind of person can actually cultivate the judgment state?¡± that person asked with a face full of interest. ¡°I¡¯m even more curious about who you are!¡± Li Wei faintly asked back.. Chapter 30 - Bitter Battle Sorcerer Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Sure, I¡¯m the holy son of the Holy See. My name is Kimberly,¡± the man answered with a chuckle. ¡°Oh, hello, my name is Milan. But Big Brother, your name is a little feminine!¡± Little Lolita, Milan, interrupted. Kimberly was not angry. Instead, he bent down and touched Milan¡¯s little head. ¡°Yeah, who asked Big Brother¡¯s parents to give him such a name!¡± Milan shook her head vigorously to express her dissatisfaction. However, this time, the violent Lolita did not say anything that would get her killed. Li Wei¡¯s eyes widened when he saw how meek Milan was. It was as if she had discovered a new world. ¡°Mr. Li Wei, I¡¯m very interested in your divine battle aura. Can I ask you for a few moves?¡± Kimberly asked with a smile. ¡°No, I¡¯m not interested in being beaten.¡± Li Wei waved his hand repeatedly. ¡°If Mr. Li Wei doesn¡¯t spar with me, I¡¯ll chase you away just like how I chased Carter and the others. Oh right, your little monster can¡¯t beat me either.¡± Kimberly said playfully. Li Wei was startled when he heard that. Even the little monster was not his match? The little Lolita gave Li Wei a definite lip gesture. Only then did Li Wei understand why this violent little Lolita did not dare to play rough with Kimberly. It turned out that she was afraid of the strong! ¡°Your Holiness, you already said that even the little monster was no match for you. How could I possibly be able to defeat you? You can use this elf¡¯s companion well yourself!¡± After saying that, Li Wei turned around and was about to leave. ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious, Mr. Li Wei. I didn¡¯t say that you have to defeat me. Why don¡¯t you do this together with the little monster? As long as the two of you don¡¯t lose within ten minutes, you¡¯ll have a share of the companion well!¡± Kimberly shouted anxiously. ¡°Will it work?¡± Li Wei asked Milan carefully. ¡°I think we can give it a try. It doesn¡¯t matter even if we lose,¡± Milan said indifferently. ¡°That¡¯s true. How can a challenge without a bet work?¡± Milan¡¯s words reminded Kimberly. ¡°Why don¡¯t you follow me back to the Holy See if you lose? It just so happens that the two of you have good talent. Teacher will definitely be very happy to take you in!¡± ¡°No, you can take Li Wei with you. I¡¯m not going to the church!¡± Milan retorted loudly. ¡°No, Li Wei is just an accessory. Only you¡¯re the one that I want.¡± Li Wei had originally wanted to say why she would agree to send him back, but upon hearing Kimberly¡¯s words, he immediately agreed. ¡°Sure, sure. I¡¯ll use my identity as Milan¡¯s guardian to agree to it. If we lose, Milan will go with you!¡± Looking at the two unscrupulous people, Kimberly suddenly felt that even if he brought them back to the Holy See, it would not be a good thing. ¡°Then, let¡¯s begin.¡± Without waiting for Milan to refute, Li Wei took the lead and was ready to make his move. ¡°Don¡¯t use your magic wand to fool people. Everyone knows that you only know level-1 magic.¡± Li Wei was a little shocked. Was the Holy See¡¯s intelligence so high? Of course, Li Wei was a little angry that the other party said that he only knew level-1 magic. ¡°Then I¡¯ll let you see the power of level-1 magic!¡± An instant fireball was shot out. ¡°Not bad. It was worth my effort to come out to look for you,¡± Kimberly praised. Of course, these little things did not move him. Kimberly took out a longsword from his spatial ring. Then, the longsword was wrapped with flames of light and slashed down. Li Wei¡¯s fireball was instantly extinguished. ¡°You¡¯re also a knight?¡± Li Wei asked in shock. ¡°No, it¡¯s just that this Gabriel holy sword can be driven by spiritual power,¡± Kimberly said proudly. Li Wei was shocked. There was actually a weapon that could be used like this? ¡°That¡¯s a real god weapon!¡± Milan was also shocked. ¡°Looks like your teacher taught you a lot of things!¡± Kimberly sighed. Li Wei knew that Kimberly was not someone he could fight against, so he provoked Milan and said, ¡°If you don¡¯t make a move now, you¡¯ll be taken back to the Holy See as a child bride!¡± Milan did not understand what a child bride was, but she knew that Li Wei definitely would not mean well. ¡°Shut the f*ck up.¡± Although she was speaking, Kimberly¡¯s hand movements were not slow. Wave after wave of attacks caused Li Wei to suffer unspeakably. ¡°The battle isn¡¯t a scene where the two of you bicker. Sacred Flame!¡± Following Kimberly¡¯s loud shout, the flames of light on his longsword instantly soared. Then, Kimberly threw the flames of light at the two of them. Seeing this scene, Li Wei immediately activated his judgment state and swung his sword. Although he managed to block this attack, Li Wei was also forced back into judgment mode. At this moment, Milan¡¯s tiny body rushed toward Kimberly at an incredible speed. He stood up and gave her a powerful punch. ¡°Dragon Claw!¡± Kimberly was unflustered as a barrier of light rose. Then, he cast the level-6 spell that he had been preparing for a long time. ¡°Light of Judgment!¡± A dazzling light pillar instantly took shape. Then, it hit Milan. ¡°Milan!¡± Seeing this scene, Li Wei¡¯s eyes could not help but open wide. Although he had only known Milan for one day, he still liked her very much. ¡°Stop shouting. She¡¯s not dead.¡± Kimberly panted heavily. This series of attacks was somewhat unbearable for him. Looking closely, Milan had actually turned into a black dragon. She was actually not a human! The black dragon¡¯s scales had been melted into large pieces. It was currently loudly. A terrifying dragon aura was released. All the magical beasts within a radius of a hundred miles trembled after feeling the aura. ¡°Wasn¡¯t the dragon race exterminated?¡± Li Wei asked. ¡®As expected, the black dragon egg that the old fellow obtained previously hatched!¡¯ Kimberly confirmed the thoughts in his heart. This was also the mission that the pope had given him. The Black Dragon was a powerful branch of the dragon race. It had a powerful physical body and a body full of scales with extremely high demon resistance. Now, a large portion of it had been destroyed by Kimberly. ¡°Looks like I need to show some real ability, Angel Descent!¡± For a moment, wings grew out from behind Kimberly¡¯s back, just like an angel that had descended to the mortal world! Even though they were fighting, Li Wei could not help but sigh at how beautiful it was. Unfortunately, Kimberly was a man. Li Wei did not hesitate and directly entered the judgment state. This time, he was truly betting on everything he got. He raised all of his battle spirit. The rest of the people from the church felt the pressure and retreated. ¡°Come on! Let¡¯s fight again!¡± At this moment, Kimberly seemed to be possessed by the god of war, fighting against two. As for Li Wei, he also felt an unprecedented desire to fight! Ever since he had come out from Wei Nuo¡¯s seclusion, he had never engaged in such an all-out battle. The battle was on the verge of breaking out. The few of them exchanged dozens of blows in an instant. As time passed, injuries began to appear on the bodies of Li Wei and Black Dragon Milan. The holy son of the Holy See was so terrifying! Another collision. Li Wei was forced to return to his normal state while Black Dragon Milan became unconscious. There was still one minute left! Chapter 31 - Modified 100-year Cultivation, Angel Falling from the Sky Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Although he said that he would let the holy son take Milan away, Li Wei really had no intention of doing so. After all, her teacher was his uncle. If Owen and Wei Nuo knew that he had given this dragon girl away because of a bet, they would definitely not let him off. ¡°System, modify 100 years of cultivation!¡± In an instant, Li Wei¡¯s aura rose. He went from a level-5 intermediate knight to a level-10 bronze knight. At this moment, Li Wei truly felt his strength. ¡°Are you ready, Kimberly?!¡± Kimberly could not help but be surprised when he felt Li Wei¡¯s soaring aura. ¡°You hid your cultivation!?¡± The other young men from the Holy See were also in shock. Forget about Kimberly as he was the disciple of the current number one powerhouse, the pope. He had been groomed as the pope¡¯s successor since he was young. Besides the holy son, there were actually two more such people appearing in this tiny Spano Province. Were they trying to defy the heavens? ¡°Did these people take medicines to level up?¡± a genius from the Holy See asked in a low voice. ¡®What kind of genius am I compared to these people?! What¡¯s the difference between me and trash? I painstakingly cultivated my light aura, but in the end, I¡¯m only a level-8 advanced knight. Look at him, he became a bronze knight in an instant,¡¯ the holy son thought. ¡°Yeah, Big Brother, they must¡¯ve eaten some kind of medicine. Otherwise, how could they level up so fast?¡± a fatty said sourly. ¡­ ¡°Bronze level? Although I¡¯m only a level-12 high magician, I don¡¯t think you can beat me!¡± Kimberly maintained his angelic state as he said proudly. ¡°That might not be the case.¡± Li Wei¡¯s cultivation had a barrier and he needed a huge amount of battle spirit to break through each time. This also caused his battle spirit to be much richer than other people of the same level. ¡°Kimberly, I don¡¯t know if you can withstand my one hundred years of battle spirit!¡± Li Wei raised his sword and pointed at Kimberly who was floating in the air. Then, Li Wei once again entered the state of judgment. This time, his battle spirit was actually on par with Kimberly¡¯s Angel Descent! ¡°Judgment, judgment!¡± The judgment battle technique was used. Terrifying battle spirit burst out and gradually solidified into the shape of a cross. ¡°Light Descend!¡± While Li Wei was charging up his strength, Kimberly was also chanting an incantation. A huge angel phantom appeared and gently pushed a palm toward Li Wei. Li Wei¡¯s judgment also flew toward the huge phantom. In an instant, surging energy poured out! The surrounding forest instantly collapsed and a huge mushroom cloud gradually rose. The ground began to collapse. The earth and the mountains shook. ¡®Is this really an attack that the younger generation can unleash?¡¯ a young disciple of the Holy See thought bitterly. ¡°Damn, an earthquake?¡± many people in the distance exclaimed in surprise. ¡°Pfft!¡± Li Wei and Kimberly both spat out a mouthful of blood at the same time. Li Wei used his sword to support himself on the ground. He used all his strength to stand up. He wanted to see Kimberly¡¯s condition. Kimberly fell from the sky like an angel with broken wings. Then, he landed on the ground, unconscious. A woman from the Holy See rushed out and hugged Kimberly. Li Wei saw this scene and fainted with relief. ¡°What do we do now?¡± a disciple of the Holy See asked. ¡°What else can we do? Let¡¯s bring them along first.¡± ¡°But what about her?¡± They looked at Milan, who had now turned into a dragon, in a dilemma. It was too big. It was very difficult for them to lift it. ¡°Why don¡¯t we use the enchantment?¡± the fatty, who had cooperated with the leader earlier, spoke. ¡°Are you stupid? The aura of the light enchantment is so dense. Are you afraid that we won¡¯t be discovered?¡± ¡°Then, what can we do?¡± the fatty asked helplessly. ¡°Why don¡¯t we draw water from the well and give it to them? It should help heal them quickly,¡± the girl who hugged Kimberly suggested. ¡°But didn¡¯t the holy son say¡­¡± ¡°What did the holy son say? Don¡¯t forget that Carter and the others also know this place. What if he turns back? The holy son fainted. Which one of us will stop those people?!¡± someone wanted to object, but the girl immediately said in a stern voice. These words made the few of them speechless. The fatty and his big brother were ordered by the girl to fetch water from the well. They filled up three buckets. A magical scene happened. Three buckets of well water condensed in an instant. Gradually, the three buckets of water shrunk until they finally became three drops. The three drops of well water automatically separated and entered the bodies of Li Wei and the others. For a moment, the bodies of the three people emitted a gentle, green light. As the light entered their bodies, the external wounds on their bodies formed scabs, fell off, and healed in a few breaths! The other people of the Holy See were astonished. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this thing to be so magical!¡± one of them exclaimed in surprise. Then, someone picked up the buckets and was about to fetch the water but was pushed away by a gentle force. ¡°There¡¯s a barrier?¡± ¡°Could it be that we¡¯re only allowed to fetch three buckets?¡± A group of people began to discuss. ¡°I heard that the treasures that they¡¯ve just consumed won¡¯t be immediately digested. You guys said that we¡¯ll¡­¡± Before he could finish, the others already understood what he meant. This person¡¯s words seemed to have magical power, enticing the others to have the same thoughts as well. ¡°Hey, you guys can¡¯t do this. The holy son usually treats us quite well.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The holy son gave all the treasures he obtained to us. How can we do that?¡± ¡°You guys can¡¯t treat the holy son like this!¡± The fatty, his big brother, and the girl immediately spoke up to stop them! ¡°Treasure? It¡¯s just trash that he looks down on and gives it to us. Can that be called a treasure? The real treasure should be the well water in their bodies, but do we have it?¡± When the few people who had revealed their greed had started to struggle again, the holy son¡¯s companions immediately began to bewitch them. Those few people obviously did not possess strong willpower. Once they were bewitched, they all became firm once again. ¡°I won¡¯t let you touch the holy son!¡± The fatty¡¯s big brother took a step forward at this time, his aura fully unleashed. It intimidated the few of them and forced them to take a few steps back. After all, this was the person with the highest cultivation among them. ¡°Carmel, I advise you not to be ungrateful.¡± The battle spirit that the leader suddenly burst out was actually on par with the fatty¡¯s big brother, Carmel. This gave the greedy people full confidence. Gradually, the six people were surrounded. ¡°Light Amplification!¡± At this moment, as a priest (a magician who specialized in amplification and healing magic), Na Mei, saw that the situation was not good. She immediately cast the amplification spell on Carmel and the fatty. ¡°It seems that you¡¯re not heeding our advice.. Do it!¡± After saying that, the leader of the group charged forward! Chapter 32 - Divine Meteorite Space, the Actions of the Church of Darkness Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The battle was about to begin. The fatty and his big brother¡¯s cultivation levels were higher than those of the others, and they also had the amplification of the female priest. In the beginning, the three of them used the female priest as their backing and fought against the other side. There were some back and forth and even two people were injured under the efforts of the few of them. However, a tiger could not withstand a pack of wolves. Moreover, there was a person whose cultivation was not inferior to Carmel¡¯s. The three of them were exhausted by the other side after a few minutes. ¡°Big Brother, quickly dodge!¡± A person sneaked behind Carmel while he was being entangled. Then, he slapped Carmel¡¯s back. Carmel was immediately sent flying like a kite with a broken string. Looking at Carmel who was sent flying, the little fatty¡¯s eyes were about to burst. ¡°I want you to pay with your life for my big brother!¡± After saying that, the fatty charged toward the other party. However, he was kicked down by the leader of the other party. ¡°Three pieces of trash actually dare to block my way!¡± After saying that, he seemed to not be able to vent his anger and kicked the fatty a few more times. The fatty was kicked until he spat out blood and rolled his eyes. The female priest beside him was also cornered by a few people. ¡°Get rid of the three of them first, then I¡¯ll get rid of the three of you!¡± that person spat on the ground and said fiercely. Then, he walked straight to the holy son. That person condensed his battle spirit in his hand and was about to slap the holy son, Kimberly. ¡°If you dare to touch him, you¡¯ll die a horrible death.¡± At this time, the black dragon beside the holy son opened its eyes and said with its mouth wide open. ¡°As expected of the dragon race, the speed of absorbing treasures is different from ours! But I wonder how much strength you have left to deal with me?¡± that person said with a sinister smile. ¡°You¡¯ll know soon.¡± After saying that, a light flashed. The black-clothed little Lolita had returned. ¡°What, you can¡¯t even maintain your dragon body?¡± the leader said with a smile. Little Lolita looked at him as if he was an idiot. ¡°Do you think you¡¯re worthy of me using my dragon body?¡± ¡°Yes, I can¡¯t deal with this situation, but what if it¡¯s like this?¡± As he spoke, a gray fog spread out from his body. His figure gradually turned illusory. ¡°A lich?¡± the little Lolita asked casually. ¡°It seems that the dragon race¡¯s inherited memories haven¡¯t been lost. You actually still remember a lich. I wonder how a pure-strength black dragon like you can deal with a lich like me?¡± the person said proudly. The little Lolita frowned. It seemed like she really did not have any effective means to deal with a lich. However, standing still and waiting for death was not the style of a violent little female dragon! A punch went straight for the lich¡¯s head. The lich was instantly blasted into a ball of gray gas and slowly condensed before returning to its original form. ¡°Just like this?¡± After saying that, the lich condensed the aura of the undead and charged at the little Lolita. The little Lolita flew away and retreated. At this moment, the people on the side were all stunned. They had never expected that the person they were following was actually an undead creature. Seeing that he could not do anything to the little Lolita with his own strength, the lich shouted at the people who had followed him, ¡°Stop him!¡± These people stopped the little Lolita without thinking. This was the lich¡¯s innate skill. After being bewitched by them, the victims would always be under their control. At this moment, a thin sword flew out and accurately hit one of the people¡¯s hearts. ¡°You take care of the trash, leave the rest to me!¡± It was Li Wei who had woken up. Hearing this, the little Lolita immediately rushed into the crowd and began her hunt. She punched one after another as if she was venting all her dissatisfaction toward the lich on these people. Li Wei stood up and coldly looked at the lich and said, ¡°Am I going against you guys? Why do I always meet you guys, who are neither human nor ghost, every time I come for training?¡± The lich was not in the mood to bicker with Li Wei. Right now, he just wanted to run away as fast as possible. If the holy son with the light attribute was his mortal enemy, then Li Wei with the holy aura was his nemesis. The holy attribute, whether it was battle spirit or magic, could cause direct damage to the lich. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you talking? Weren¡¯t you very proud when you mocked Milan just now?¡± As he spoke, Li Wei compressed the holy aura into a long sword. Then, he stabbed it into the lich. The lich immediately turned around and ran. No matter how he ran, the sword would always follow him closely. This was a move that Li Wei had researched, using spiritual power to control the sword. After researching it, he had gained 100 years of proficiency. So, how could the lich fight against a 100-year-old veteran? Finally, the green longsword that contained the sacred battle spirit accurately stabbed into the lich¡¯s head. Then, under Li Wei¡¯s control, it exploded. In an instant, the lich was blasted into ashes before it could even scream. The instigator, Li Wei, let out a breath and said, ¡°Explosion is an art!¡± ¡°Li Wei!¡± Just as Li Wei was feeling pleased with himself, a figure angrily ran over. Li Wei looked at Milan, who was covered in dust and dirt. When Li Wei saw Milan like this, he immediately burst into laughter. ¡°Li Wei, I¡¯m going to kill you.¡± ¡­ Li Wei and the others had just resolved the crisis and were currently fighting. Little did they know that a massacre had already begun in the divine meteorite space. In all the teams, there would suddenly appear someone who would sow discord and cause a battle. Or when everyone was happy or injured, they would launch a merciless backstab. The Church of Darkness¡¯ all-pervasive invasion swept through every corner of the divine meteorite space. Regardless of cultivation level, under this kind of all-pervasive sneak attack, most of the people were hit. Only a small portion of them noticed something was wrong in advance, and then gave early warning, so that they could luckily escape. Among them was Scarty, whose cultivation level was currently mediocre. Of course, it was because he had met Carter to fight so he had no choice but to leave with his people. Then, he found that someone was trying to sow discord, so he left in anger. At this time, Carter, who had the highest cultivation when he first came in, was kneeling in front of a black-robed man. ¡°Messenger, everything has been arranged. Now, we¡¯re only one step away.¡± The man wore a mask and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°Very good. I¡¯ll put in a good word for you in front of the president when we go back.¡± ¡°Thank you for your help, Messenger!¡± Carter immediately replied excitedly. ¡°Not good!¡± At this time, a lich ran over. ¡°What¡¯s the big deal? If you disturb the messenger, I¡¯ll teach you a lesson!¡± Carter said in a threatening tone. The man waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. ¡°Wu Lingling¡¯s signal has been lost!¡± The man did not change his expression when he heard that. Instead, he calmly said, ¡°It¡¯s normal. He¡¯s with the holy son. It¡¯s normal for him to die if there¡¯s a slight mistake. ¡°Don¡¯t bother about this. You guys go and lead the humans who are still alive to the finish line. We¡¯ll hold a feast for the undead there.¡± At this moment, all hell broke loose.. Chapter 33 - Visions, the Birth of the Divine Medicine Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Langdon City, in the dean¡¯s office of the Spano Academy. Clayderman and an old man were respectfully standing in front of a desk. The person sitting across from them was Wei Nuo. ¡°Teacher!¡± the old man called out respectfully. ¡°You¡¯re back,¡± Wei Nuo said softly. Although gentle, it made the old man feel great pressure. ¡°Teacher, there¡¯s a reason why I didn¡¯t come back¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to hear your reason. I just want you to come back and watch the actions of those rats of the Church of Darkness.¡± Wei Nuo interrupted the old man¡¯s words and directly arranged a task for him. ¡°Forgive me for being blunt, Teacher. Recently, we needed to guard the academy and the city more, not take the initiative to attack.¡± When the old man got down to business, his eyes immediately shone with wisdom. ¡°I know you have an idea. I can leave this matter to you. If there¡¯s anything you can¡¯t solve, just call me.¡± After saying that, the space fluctuated. Wei Nuo¡¯s figure gradually distorted and then disappeared. As the third-generation headmaster of the Spano Academy, Wei Nuo was still very at ease. After all, this was the only person in the world with an intelligence attribute. ¡­ Within the divine meteorite space. There were only three people left in Li Wei¡¯s group. The fatty, his elder brother, and the female priest were sent back by the holy son to report the news. The three of them planned to stay behind and continue their treasure hunt. ¡°Li Wei, give me the one in your arms. Now that you know I¡¯m a dragon, that thing is really useful to me.¡± The female dragon Milan had pestered Li Wei the entire way. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have a way to let it mature. When it matures, I¡¯ll give it to you,¡± Li Wei answered casually. ¡°Whether it matures or not is the same for me,¡± Milan pouted and said. ¡°But it¡¯s not for me, so you¡¯d better bear with it.¡± ¡°Hmph, you won¡¯t live past me anyway. When you die, the seed will be mine,¡± Milan stuck out her tongue and said with a grimace. ¡°Can the two of you be quiet? I¡¯m scouting,¡± the holy son said helplessly. In the exploration team, magicians were in charge of scouting. So the task of scouting fell to the holy son, who had the strongest spiritual power. The two of them stopped bickering after hearing this and even made a shushing gesture to each other. When Kimberly saw this scene, he could not help but hold his forehead and sigh. It was enough headache to bring along a problematic dragon child. Now, even Li Wei had become very childish. For a moment, Kimberly felt that he had become their father. However, for some reason, Kimberly had full trust in the two of them. Meanwhile, Li Wei and Milan also felt an unprecedented warmth from each other. ¡°Do you feel that your feelings for me have changed? Answer me seriously. I think we might have a problem,¡± Kimberly asked the two of them. ¡°I feel that you seem a little familiar!¡± Milan thought for a while and said. ¡°Indeed, I feel that you¡¯re inexplicably pleasing to the eyes now,¡± Li Wei said with some uncertainty. He did not know if this feeling was not right. ¡°Don¡¯t you feel that this feeling is very sudden?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing sudden. This is the effect of the well water of the elves. It contained the wish of the elven goddess that their children and grandchildren would be harmonious. ¡°That was the wish of a true god. So over time, it would become something similar to a contract. Of course, it would only affect the emotions of others and would not be forced to happen,¡± Milan pondered for a moment before explaining. ¡°You even know about this?¡± Kimberly asked in surprise. ¡°Of course. It¡¯s all in my inherited memories,¡± Milan said somewhat proudly. Kimberly could not help but reveal an envious expression. Although he was also a genius, he was still somewhat envious of the powerful talents of the dragon race. Look at this little Lolita. She ate and drank all day long. Basically, she was already almost the same as him without cultivating. ¡°What is that?¡± Li Wei suddenly pointed into the distance and asked. A strange light suddenly came from the distance. It illuminated the entire divine meteorite space. ¡°Divine Glory,¡± Kimberly slowly exhaled and said in shock. ¡°Li Wei, I want to eat that. After eating that, I¡¯ll be able to grow up!¡± Milan suddenly looked at Li Wei and said with a face full of desire. Li Wei had always taken good care of Milan, treating her like his own sister. Now that he had the support of the well water, he had even transformed into a crazy protector of his sister at a critical moment. ¡°Let¡¯s go over and take a look.¡± Li Wei immediately agreed. Thus, the three of them increased their speed and rushed in the direction of the light pillar. At the same time, all the survivors in the divine meteorite space saw the light pillar. They all headed in its direction to investigate. Soon, Li Wei and the other two arrived in front of the light pillar. Li Wei looked carefully and found that inside was a magic potion that he had never seen before. ¡°What is that?¡± Li Wei knew that the two people behind him had profound knowledge, so he fully developed the spirit of asking questions that he did not understand. ¡°This is¡­ Echinacea?!¡± Kimberly exclaimed loudly. ¡°What is that thing?¡± Li Wei looked at the shocked Kimberly and knew that this was a good thing. ¡°A real divine potion. From the looks of it, it should mature in another thousand years. Right now, it¡¯s not very useful to the two of us but it¡¯s very useful to the little dragon girl. ¡°It can allow a magical beast like the black dragon that doesn¡¯t have any magical abilities to master a type of magic. And humans will obtain the ability to comprehend a type of rare element,¡± Kimberly said excitedly. ¡°Unfortunately, it can only be eaten by myself. Otherwise, it¡¯d be fine if the three of us split it,¡± Milan pouted and said. ¡°Who said it can¡¯t mature? I have the magic potion¡¯s ripening agent,¡± Li Wei said. ¡°Stop bragging. What kind of ripening agent can accelerate the maturity of a divine medicine? This kind of divine medicine can suck you dry, let alone the ripening agent,¡± Kimberly said with a smile. ¡°That might not be the case!¡± Li Wei was just about to walk toward the echinacea when Kimberly stopped him. He signaled that someone behind him had entered the detection range. Li Wei rounded them up and quickly hid. It was Scarty. Although he did not know what it was, it was obvious that it was not an ordinary object that could emit such a light. Scarty did not hesitate and immediately rushed toward the beam of light to get the echinacea. However, a Wind Blade came from behind. Scarty could only roll and dodge in a sorry state. At this moment, a person walked out. Li Wei and the others did not recognize him. He should be someone from another faction who had entered later. When the two of them met, it was as if sparks had seen explosives. They chanted a spell together. For a moment, strong wind and icicles came out, destroying everything in the surroundings. At this time, many people came one after another. There seemed to be about a hundred people. At this time, Scarty and the strange man stopped fighting. Now was not the time to fight. With the impulse of a knight, a war was about to break out! Chapter 34 - The Blood of the Dead Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation For a moment, the narrow valley emitted a brilliant glow. Except for a few more sensible people who had retreated, the rest of the people were instantly drawn into the battlefield. For a moment, countless magic and fighting skills were released at the same time, dyeing the sky with a change of color. ¡°Kill!¡± At this moment, the narrow valley became hell on Earth. In a short while, broken limbs were separated. Looking at the scene in front of him, Kimberly turned to Li Wei and Milan, and said, ¡°Something¡¯s wrong. Let¡¯s retreat first!¡± Although Li Wei and Milan were puzzled, they still obediently moved backward together with Kimberly. After walking out of a certain range, Kimberly stopped. ¡°Look at their battle. It doesn¡¯t seem normal. They seem to have lost their sanity,¡± Kimberly looked at the two people with doubt in their eyes as he explained to the two of them. When Li Wei heard this, he realized that quite a number of people¡¯s eyes had already turned red. They had even begun to expend their lives to fight. ¡°Li Wei! Quickly knock me out!¡± Milan suddenly shouted anxiously. Li Wei turned his head to take a look. It was unknown when Milan¡¯s eyes had started to gradually turn red. Her face had already started to distort. It was clear that she was struggling in pain. Li Wei knew that now was not the time to hesitate. A palm slashed onto Milan¡¯s neck, and she slowly fell. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Li Wei asked Kimberly. Even Milan had unknowingly fallen into this trap. It seemed that this time, it was really something troublesome. ¡°I¡¯m not too sure either, but I can feel something in the air. Something is affecting our minds,¡± Kimberly replied. Li Wei used his spiritual power to investigate but he did not find anything. Then, he looked up. There was a huge ball in the sky. The ball was secreting something and gradually merging into the air. It was too far away, so he did not notice it at first. ¡°Can you see that thing?¡± Li Wei pointed at the huge ball in the sky and asked. ¡°What is that?¡± Even Kimberly had never seen such a thing. Kimberly tried to contact the giant ball with his spiritual power. After a while, Kimberly said, ¡°I don¡¯t know what that is either. But its undead aura is very strong.¡± ¡°It seems that the Church of Darkness is causing trouble again.¡± Li Wei knew that he and the others had fallen into the trap. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the two of us are fine. Holy aura and light magic aren¡¯t so easily contaminated by the undead.¡± After realizing that it was the aura of the undead, Kimberly began to have confidence. Hearing this, Li Wei transferred his holy aura into Milan¡¯s body to help her expel the aura of the undead. Very soon, Milan woke up. This time, she returned to normal. Just as the few of them were busy, the battle in the valley came to an end. With a furious roar, Scarty froze the last two people and obtained the final victory. He had also fainted on the ground because he had cast too many spells. At this moment, more than a dozen people walked out from the shadows. The leader was unexpectedly Carter from the Cassano Academy. He slowly walked to Scarty¡¯s side. One of his hands dug into Scarty¡¯s body. Now, everyone had died. Li Wei and Kimberly looked at this scene in shock. Was Carter also an undead? Meanwhile, the little Lolita was still in a daze. Now, Li Wei used his holy aura to envelop Milan. ¡°My lord, there¡¯s no sign of those three people.¡± A person had searched for a long time without any results. ¡°Hmph, they¡¯re really cunning. They still want to use the same trick as before. Forget about them, let¡¯s continue with our plan!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Then, the group of people started to move. Carter glanced at the echinacea greedily. If it was not for the fact that this thing was useless to the undead, he would have taken it with him no matter what. The eighteen people spread out and stood in different positions, forming a hexagram pattern. Then, they began to chant a spell. This spell was long and complicated. Although the three of them did not know what these people were going to do, they had a bad premonition. ¡°The more powerful the spell, the more complicated it is. They are using an extremely powerful undead spell together,¡± Milan said after looking at it for a while. ¡°Let¡¯s retreat first. I¡¯m afraid that this place will soon become their home ground.¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s retreat.¡± The few of them discussed for a while and decided to retreat. However, before they could take a few steps, a huge gray miasma rose and gradually condensed into four walls, trapping the three of them within. ¡°Undead canopy!¡± Kimberly shouted. Milan¡¯s face was also filled with shock. This was a forbidden undead spell. How could these people possibly master it? At this moment, Carter borrowed the power of the undead canopy and gradually rose into the air. ¡°Holy son, Li Wei, and little monster. I know you¡¯re here. You guys can continue to hide. We won¡¯t play with you anymore!¡± After saying that, he picked up his subordinates and left. ¡°What¡¯s the use of this undead canopy?¡± Li Wei looked at the two people beside him and asked. ¡°See for yourself. It¡¯s too late to explain now.¡± As soon as Kimberly finished speaking, Li Wei noticed that the person who had just died had slowly stood up. He had turned into a skeleton. ¡°Turn the dead into the undead!¡± Li Wei knew that this was the power of the undead canopy. It was not just the people who had just died. After a while, more and more people came out from the earth. This was an ancient battlefield. If the undead canopy continued, then the three of them would really have no way of escaping. Thinking of this, Li Wei summoned all of his divine battle spirit and slashed at the undead canopy. A small hole was torn but the surrounding undead energy surged and quickly mended the hole. Li Wei¡¯s expression was a little ugly but beside him, Milan and Kimberly¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°This isn¡¯t a complete undead canopy. We can get out!¡± Kimberly said excitedly. ¡°Right, Li Wei, you can cover us with your battle spirit later. Kimberly, cast light magic again and we can get out.¡± Milan became excited at this moment. ¡°Then, do we have a chance to get the echinacea?¡± Li Wei asked. ¡°If you have enough battle spirit, we can. But if you rush over now, the three of us might not be able to get out if we consume too much of it,¡± Kimberly analyzed rationally. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll get the mature echinacea back. When the time comes, the three of us will split it equally! That way, we should be able to get out!¡± Li Wei said firmly. At first, the two of them thought that Li Wei did not have the ripening agent, but now that they looked at the determined Li Wei, they knew that he was not joking. ¡°Are you sure?¡± Kimberly asked worriedly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Do you think I¡¯ll do something that will cost me my life?¡± Li Wei smiled and said. ¡°You guys cover me. I¡¯ll go get the echinacea!¡± With that, Li Wei took the lead and rushed over.. Chapter 35 - System Update, Escape! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Milan and Kimberly no longer hesitated when they saw Li Wei rush out. They followed him. One of them entered the angelic state while the other transformed into a black dragon. They went straight to Li Wei¡¯s side. They crushed all the undead creatures that came up to them. The occasional ones that they missed were also crushed by Li Wei¡¯s sword. The three of them rushed to the front of the echinacea. Li Wei picked the echinacea and started to change its production date. ¡°Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully changing the production date of the echinacea for a thousand years!¡± For a moment, the echinacea shone brightly, even dispersing the aura of the undead around it! ¡°System, shouldn¡¯t my realm be able to change its time to ten thousand years?¡± Li Wei asked in puzzlement. ¡°The system has detected a new cultivation system, so it¡¯s in the process of updating. From now on, for every ten levels that the host can upgrade, the number of years that can be modified will increase tenfold,¡± the system coldly explained. Just as Li Wei was asking the system, the number of the undead around him had already increased. ¡°Li Wei, quickly divide it and eat it. We can¡¯t hold on much longer!¡± Hearing that, Li Wei quickly picked the three golden pistils at the center of the echinacea and handed them to the two of them. The three of them ate the echinacea at the same time. For a moment, the three of them shone with a strange light. The energy that they had lost was directly recovered by a large amount of their abilities. The rest of the energy gradually sank into their bodies. ¡°Don¡¯t hesitate. Let¡¯s rush out before the new talent is activated. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to get out!¡± Kimberly ordered. Hearing that, Li Wei used his holy aura to wrap around the three of them at full power. Then, he rushed out of the undead encirclement. After entering the undead canopy, Li Wei wrapped his holy aura around the three of them in a cone. Then, he took a deep breath and rushed in with the two of them. After entering, Kimberly continuously used light magic to purify the surrounding undead aura, taking on a lot of pressure for Li Wei. The three of them moved forward at their fastest speed. However, it was obvious that they had miscalculated the density of the undead aura and underestimated the thickness of the fog. After a short while, they had only walked half the distance when Kimberly was exhausted and could no longer use light magic. Li Wei had also exhausted quite a bit. Li Wei knew that if they continued to walk like this, they would definitely die. Thus, he quickly condensed the remaining battle spirit to form a green longsword and threw it behind them. ¡°Ka!¡± In an instant, the longsword exploded and a violent shock wave swept through the three of them. In an instant, the backs of the three of them split open and they spat out blood. However, the powerful shock wave also pushed the three of them eighty meters away. The aura of the undead here was already much weaker. Li Wei could even see the scene outside. However, Li Wei did not relax. He used the remaining battle spirit to envelop the three of them. Then, he raised the hands of Kimberly and Milan. ¡°Instant Shift!¡± The magic sword skill, Instant Shift was activated. The three of them instantly appeared fifty meters away. They had completely escaped the undead canopy. The three of them who had survived the disaster let out a long breath outside. Milan was still fine. Firstly, she did not consume any energy. It was because her physical strength was extremely high, so there were only a few minor injuries. On the other hand, Li Wei and Kimberly were almost exhausted. They were also hit by the explosion. At this moment, their entire backs were bleeding. ¡°Milan, take a look around. We need to treat our injuries.¡± Li Wei instructed Milan, then sat down cross-legged on the ground and began to treat their injuries. Kimberly also began to meditate. Milan nodded her head seriously, then looked around. She felt that Kimberly seemed to have changed. His chest seemed to have become bigger? However, she did not probe further and began to stand guard. On the other side. ¡°Almighty Demon Lord, I¡¯m your servant. I¡¯m here under your orders to retrieve the Divine Spark.¡± The gray-robed man wearing a mask was kneeling respectfully on the ground in the depths of a dark forest. In front of him was a black hexagon-shaped crystal. That crystal seemed to be able to understand human speech. After the man finished speaking, it slowly floated into the man¡¯s hand. ¡°Carter, it¡¯s time to go back!¡± After saying that, the man left on his own. ¡­ Another two days passed. When the divine meteorite space was about to close, Li Wei and Kimberly finally recovered from their injuries. ¡°Li Wei, you must be crazy. If that explosion had gone any further, we¡¯d have definitely died!¡± Kimberly looked at Li Wei and ridiculed. ¡°If I hadn¡¯t done that, the three of us would¡¯ve died in there,¡± Li Wei expressed that he was innocent. The three of them chatted and laughed as they walked toward the exit and left the divine meteorite space. The power of space tore the three of them apart and brought them into the passageway. It was pitch black in front of them. Suddenly, a bright light appeared and the few of them landed safely. ¡°Teacher!¡± Milan saw an old man guarding the spatial gate in front of them and shouted excitedly. ¡°Little Dragon, you¡¯re back.¡± The old man clearly let out a sigh of relief when he saw Milan. ¡°Uncle!¡± Li Wei knew that this was his teacher¡¯s senior brother, and also his uncle, so he bowed respectfully. ¡°You¡¯re that kid Owen¡¯s disciple? Not bad, your foundation is deep. Quickly go to Teacher¡¯s place. Owen will definitely be happy when he sees you coming back.¡± Li Wei did not say anything else. After saluting, he ran toward Wei Nuo¡¯s hut. If Owen knew that he was already a bronze knight, he would definitely be very happy! After Li Wei left, holy son Kimberly bowed to Hilter. ¡°Teacher Hilter, why are you back?¡± ¡°I¡¯m the Dean of the Spano Academy. Is it strange for me to be back?¡± Hilter replied. ¡°No, aren¡¯t you supposed to be¡­¡± ¡°Shh, stop talking. Don¡¯t talk nonsense about some things. Hurry up and leave. Go back and tell your master about what happened here. Tell him not to spread the news.¡± After saying that, Hilter left with Milan. After the two of them left, Kimberly also left quickly. There were too many things happening here. He had to go back and report it as soon as possible. ¡°Grandpa Wei Nuo!¡± As soon as Li Wei walked to Wei Nuo¡¯s residence, he saw Wei Nuo who was thinking about a problem in the courtyard. ¡°Little Li Wei, you¡¯re back. How was your harvest this time?¡± Wei Nuo looked at Li Wei and asked with a smile. When Li Wei heard this, he told Wei Nuo everything that happened in the divine meteorite space. However, as the Church of Darkness had appeared, Wei Nuo began to frown. He had never thought that the people of the Church of Darkness would be so pervasive. The two of them talked until the evening when the sun was about to set. Wei Nuo listened to the whole process and then asked, ¡°You ate echinacea. What attribute ability have you awakened now?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a secret. Grandpa Wei Nuo, where¡¯s my teacher?¡± Wei Nuo¡¯s expression froze when he heard that, not knowing how to answer. ¡°Come in with me!¡± Chapter 36 - Modified Thousand-year Cultivation! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li Wei followed Wei Nuo into the small wooden house. ¡°Grandpa Wei Nuo, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Li Wei stared at Owen who was lying on the bed, then turned his head to ask Wei Nuo. Owen¡¯s condition was too frightening. At this moment, his entire body was gray and there was not a hint of life on his face. What made Li Wei even more uncomfortable was that he could not even feel Owen¡¯s aura. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the situation won¡¯t get worse.¡± Wei Nuo patted Li Wei¡¯s shoulder and comforted him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with him?¡± Li Wei asked in a hoarse voice. ¡°I underestimated those people. I didn¡¯t expect them to have such a curse. Owen was sent out on a mission a few days ago. He came back injured the day you left. I thought it was just some simple injuries, so I gave him some treatment. ¡°It wasn¡¯t until later that I found out that this child was also cursed. This kind of curse cannot be helped by others. He can only depend on himself,¡± Wei Nuo sighed as he spoke. When Li Wei heard this, his eyes turned red as he asked, ¡°It¡¯s the Church of Darkness, right?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be rash. You¡¯re just a small bronze knight. These aren¡¯t things that you should be thinking about.¡± Wei Nuo advised Li Wei. Li Wei did not say anything when he heard this. He walked to Owen¡¯s side and tried to transfer some battle spirit into Owen¡¯s body. After all, the divine battle spirit was the nemesis of evil, so Li Wei wanted to see if he could help Owen. As soon as the divine battle spirit entered Owen¡¯s body, it was instantly devoured by the massive amount of undead aura in his body. Wei Nuo said helplessly, ¡°I¡¯ve already tried what should be done. It¡¯s useless. Your divine battle spirit is indeed useful, but your cultivation is too weak.¡± ¡°I understand, Grandpa Wei Nuo. I¡¯m going to cultivate now.¡± At this moment, Li Wei wanted to obtain power more than anything! Only with enough power could he save Owen. ¡®Teacher, wait for me. You promised to bring me around the continent. Don¡¯t go back on your words,¡¯ Li Wei thought. Looking at Li Wei¡¯s back, Wei Nuo sighed. Even though his cultivation was extremely strong, he was helpless against Owen¡¯s situation. Owen¡¯s life was hanging by a thread. He did not tell Li Wei that Owen would die at any moment and that he might not be able to survive until Li Wei grew up. Li Wei returned to his own dormitory. He had clearly escaped death, but he was not happy at all. ¡°Ding! System update complete. Starting to modify the host¡¯s body!¡± The system¡¯s cold voice rang out. Li Wei felt as if there was an irresistible force acting on his body. After a long while, this force finally disappeared. ¡°Modification complete! The host¡¯s cultivation barrier will appear once at the tenth level instead of the great realm.¡± When Li Wei heard this, he was ecstatic. Did this mean that his magic cultivation could be improved? Li Wei did not hesitate and immediately changed the time of his spiritual power. Thus, Li Wei¡¯s magic cultivation began to soar like a rocket. Low-level magician! Intermediate magician! High-level magician! Grand magician! In a breath¡¯s time, Li Wei had gone from a perfect apprentice magician to a peak level-10 grand magician! However, the barrier only shook slightly. Li Wei could not help but sigh at the sturdiness of his cultivation barrier. However, he was not discouraged. Compared to spiritual power, his battle spirit cultivation was obviously easier to break through. At that time, with 10,000 years of cultivation, Li Wei did not believe that his magic could not improve. Then, Li Wei began to modify his battle spirit cultivation. In an instant, Li Wei had broken through from a level-10 bronze knight to a silver knight, and his cultivation had broken through all the way to level-19. Just as he was about to break through level-20, the barrier appeared, and Li Wei¡¯s cultivation growth came to an abrupt halt. Li Wei clenched his fists. He now somewhat understood the division between major realms and minor realms. Major realms were still general after all. With the refinement of levels, it would be different. Was a level-11 silver knight the same as a level-19 silver knight? Li Wei did not stop his modifications. Instead, he began to modify the physique battle technique that was brought about by the divine judgment battle aura. After this battle technique was mastered, it would be cultivated into a unique divine physique. It would greatly strengthen the suppression of the undead and the darkness attribute. In the past, Li Wei was only able to suppress the undead by relying on his battle aura. Once Li Wei¡¯s divine physique was fully mastered, even if Li Wei did not use his battle spirit, he could directly counter the enemy. Li Wei gave the order to modify the time of his physique battle technique. For a moment, the battle spirit in Li Wei¡¯s body began to move crazily. It divided into countless threads and entered the cells, then modified his cells, bones, and flesh. Under the effect of a thousand years, Li Wei directly cultivated his divine physique to a small success. He looked at the body that was emitting the holy light and nodded. The harvest this time was really great! After that, Li Wei began to discuss the attributes of his new activity. ¡°Extinguish?¡± Li Wei asked in a low voice. He did not know how to cultivate the power of this attribute. Li Wei had never heard of the magic and fighting techniques of this attribute. Li Wei could not help but regret playing a mysterious game with Wei Nuo. Now, he had to find Wei Nuo again. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± Suddenly, space distorted, and Wei Nuo¡¯s figure appeared. ¡°Grandpa Wei Nuo, can you not scare me every time?¡± Li Wei could not get used to Wei Nuo¡¯s mysterious appearance. ¡°I just felt an unusual fluctuation here, so I came to take a look.¡± Wei Nuo looked at Li Wei with surprise. Wei Nuo had been afraid that Li Wei would get into a difficult situation because of Owen, so he had deliberately looked at Li Wei. However, he did not expect that Li Wei had already reached the peak of a silver knight in just a short while. ¡°Little Li Wei, you didn¡¯t use some forbidden spell, did you? How did your cultivation level rise so quickly?¡± Wei Nuo asked. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Grandpa Wei Nuo. I could¡¯ve broken through long ago. It¡¯s just that my cultivation barrier has been accumulating, so my cultivation level rose by leaps and bounds as soon as I broke through.¡± Although Li Wei trusted Wei Nuo, he could not tell him that he had the system, so he could only make up a reason. After all, this was something even more mystical than fantasy. Wei Nuo was also skeptical about this. ¡°Alright, this time, I¡¯m looking for you to ask about the Church of Darkness in the divine meteorite space.¡± When Li Wei heard about the Church of Darkness, his expression immediately turned serious. ¡°Can you confirm which people are from the Church of Darkness?¡± Li Wei nodded when he heard that question. He did not know what power some people came from, but as long as they appeared in front of him, Li Wei would recognize them. ¡°That¡¯s good.. Now I need you to go with me to capture them!¡± Chapter 37 - Capture Operation! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li Wei was not excited when he heard this. Instead, he rationally analyzed, ¡°I¡¯m afraid Grandpa Wei Nuo can¡¯t do this. The people of the Church of Darkness have a specific contact method. Once we make a move, they¡¯ll definitely hide the news when they get it.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Everything will be planned by your uncle. They won¡¯t be able to escape,¡± Wei Nuo said confidently. ¡°Alright, but Grandpa Wei Nuo, I¡¯ve encountered a problem with my cultivation. I want to ask you for some advice!¡± ¡°Tell me about it.¡± Li Wei told him about the problem with his new attribute. ¡°You little rascal, didn¡¯t you pretend to be mysterious earlier? Now that you¡¯ve encountered a problem, why did you come to find Grandpa?¡± Wei Nuo teased Li Wei. He scratched his head in embarrassment. ¡°I can¡¯t guide you too much on this matter because this is a brand new attribute and there are no records of it. So, you need to figure it out yourself. Of course, your uncle can help you with this matter. After all, his attribute is also unique.¡± After Wei Nuo teased Li Wei, he could not help but feel envy at Li Wei¡¯s luck. First, he relied on the battle spirit to transform his attributes into a rare divine attribute. Then, he obtained a unique destruction attribute. Hearing this, Li Wei nodded. ¡°But if you don¡¯t understand, don¡¯t think about it. In the future, when you reach a certain level, you can naturally comprehend it,¡± Wei Nuo added. Li Wei nodded and thanked him. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll look for you tomorrow. We¡¯ll set off then.¡± Then, Wei Nuo slowly disappeared. Li Wei watched Wei Nuo disappear, secretly clenching his fists. ¡°The Church of Darkness, my first payment of interest will start from there.¡± Although Li Wei and Owen had not interacted for a long time, Li Wei still very much approved and relied on his teacher, who had taught him selflessly. Although Owen was not very serious and sometimes he even behaved weirdly, Li Wei could still feel Owen¡¯s efforts. Li Wei was not an ingrate. On the contrary, he was a person who valued friendship and loyalty. The next day, Li Wei finished his cultivation early and began to wait for Wei Nuo. Wei Nuo slowly appeared in Li Wei¡¯s dormitory. ¡°You¡¯re getting anxious from waiting. Let¡¯s go.¡± Wei Nuo understood Li Wei¡¯s feelings. After all, Li Wei was also Wei Nuo¡¯s disciple. He was also his most talented and favorite disciple. Now, this old man wanted to personally take the knife and take revenge for his student. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Grandpa Wei Nuo.¡± At this moment, Li Wei was unprecedentedly calm. Wei Nuo nodded and held Li Wei¡¯s shoulder. Then, he started to watch the space transfer. In an instant, Li Wei was brought to a secret room. There were many people gathered here. Many of whom Li Wei had seen before such as Hilter, Clayderman, and the others. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s cut to the chase. Everyone has a person who has escaped death, so now, they¡¯ll identify the spies of the Church of Darkness for you. ¡°Once you arrive, capture them immediately. Don¡¯t care about their identities. Even if they are the illegitimate children of the pope, capture them!¡± Wei Nuo said coldly. ¡°Yes.¡± Everyone in the secret room agreed. Wei Nuo nodded in satisfaction. Only then did Li Wei realize that there were still quite a number of survivors who had luckily returned. He thought that those people were already dead. Moreover, Li Wei also confirmed that there were now eighteen undead among these people. Wei Nuo raised the magic staff in his hand and silver-gray hexagrams appeared under the feet of each of the two people. In the next moment, everyone was teleported away. Li Wei and Wei Nuo were no exception. This time, they wanted to capture the spies of the eighteen forces in one go. When they reached the place, Li Wei could not help but look at the environment curiously. ¡°This is Cassano Academy,¡± Wei Nuo said faintly. Li Wei knew that this was to capture Carter. Wei Nuo pulled Li Wei and stood in mid-air. His enormous spiritual power swept out, directly enveloping the Cassano Academy. ¡°Found it.¡± In the next moment, Wei Nuo appeared beside Carter with Li Wei. Wei Nuo waved his hand and the next moment, Carter was taken down. This time, Cassano Academy and other forces had sent quite a number of people. Wei Nuo and Spano Academy only had the information of a small number of people. Now, it was up to Li Wei to identify them. Wei Nuo¡¯s massive spirit passed through Li Wei¡¯s consciousness. Then, the entire Cassano Academy appeared in Li Wei¡¯s mind. Spirit detection sharing! Li Wei did not hesitate either. In this group of students, one by one, he pointed out the people who had gone to the divine meteorite space and followed Carter back. After all, the other people from Cassano Academy had all died, so the few who had returned were definitely out of the ordinary. After all, everyone from Cassano Academy was led by Carter, so there was no reason for them to be the only humans who had survived. This time, Wei Nuo did not specifically go over. Instead, with a wave of his hand, he used spatial magic to transfer those people over. Then, he told them to knock the people out and brought Li Wei and a few others back to the academy. From the beginning to the end, the people from Cassano Academy did not notice the two of them. At this time, the other groups of people also began to move. They controlled the suspect with the force of a thunderbolt, then packed up and brought him back to Spano Academy. After returning to Spano Academy, Wei Nuo dismissed the others. Then, he asked Li Wei and Hilter to follow him and take those people to the dungeon. In the dark dungeon. Li Wei was tasked to produce the Holy Flame. It was a type of flame that tempered the body, but it was fatal to the undead. For a moment, the entire dungeon was filled with wails. However, the undead did not even open their mouths. Li Wei only knew that the undead had obtained something in the divine meteorite space. Wei Nuo did not want them to have it, so he tortured them. Li Wei did not ask any more questions. The level of the opponent that Wei Nuo had to personally handle was too high, and it was not something he could understand. ¡°Hahaha, Li Wei, if I had known earlier, I¡¯d have killed you in the divine meteorite space.¡± Carter was currently imprisoned by the magic device and was being burned by the sacred flames. ¡°Indeed.¡± Li Wei could not be bothered with him. ¡°You¡¯ll regret it. God will descend soon. When that time comes, you¡¯ll die!¡± Carter laughed crazily. This made Wei Nuo and Hilter furrow their brows. The undead was really stubborn. ¡°Teacher, I think that interrogating them is useless. It¡¯s better to check their consciousness,¡± Hilter said to Wei Nuo. ¡°It¡¯s not necessary. It¡¯s not worth it to check their consciousness and souls.¡± Wei Nuo refused. ¡°Teacher, to be honest, Carter already has the highest status among them, but he¡¯s not willing to say anything now. ¡°Moreover, that thing didn¡¯t leave any traces of him, so I suspect that there¡¯s still someone above him. That person hasn¡¯t shown up from the beginning to the end, which is why no one can find him.¡± Hilter analyzed the situation seriously in the light of the current situation. Just as Wei Nuo was about to speak, a loud noise suddenly came from outside.. Someone was causing trouble in Spano Academy! Chapter 38 - Nicholas Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Give my son back to me!¡± a middle-aged man was shouting outside. ¡°Nicholas! How dare you cause trouble in Spano Academy?!¡± Hilter appeared in mid-air and questioned the middle-aged man sternly. The middle-aged man named Nicholas was obviously more rational when he saw Hilter appear. ¡°I want to know why you have my son?¡± Nicholas did not give Hilter a good look either. ¡°How do you know we have him?¡± Hilter asked back. ¡°How do I know has nothing to do with you! Release him immediately or else don¡¯t blame me for tearing down your lousy school!¡± Nicholas threatened. ¡°If you want to know, come with me!¡± Hilter understood Nicholas¡¯ character and knew that he could not be a spy from the Church of Darkness. He sighed and decided to bring him to the dungeon. After arriving in the dungeon, Nicholas saw Carter in the lich state and panicked for a moment. ¡°What, what¡¯s going on? Is this my son?¡± Nicholas asked in disbelief. ¡°If you don¡¯t trust me, why don¡¯t you trust that person?¡± Hilter pointed at Wei Nuo, who was sitting in a corner, thinking about something. ¡°Mr. Wei Nuo, you¡¯re still alive!?¡± Nicholas saw Wei Nuo. ¡°You want a beating?¡± Wei Nuo asked with a smile. ¡°No, but what¡¯s going on, Mr. Wei Nuo?¡± ¡°Your son¡¯s body has been occupied by a lich. You shouldn¡¯t ask me, but yourself. A cultivator of light combat aura actually didn¡¯t even notice that a lich was by his side,¡± Wei Nuo said snappily. Nicholas lowered his head in embarrassment. ¡°I¡¯m really miserable. A son was killed in the Magical Beast Forest and a son became a lich. Sigh!¡± Nicholas let out a long sigh and began to talk about his own experiences. Hearing this, Li Wei could not help but retreat. This was most likely the father of the little genius that he had killed when he was training in the Magical Beast Forest. ¡°Enough, stop sighing. It might not even be your son. It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know about your wife¡¯s stupid matters,¡± Hilter said unhappily. ¡°After all, I¡¯ve raised him, surely, I couldn¡¯t let go of this,¡± Nicholas said. Hilter knew his friend¡¯s character, so he did not say anything more. ¡°Help us interrogate him together. It¡¯s also good to give your son a quick death,¡± Wei Nuo said expressionlessly. From the beginning of the arrest, Wei Nuo had been in this state. Nicholas did not expect that he would come to interrogate him. ¡°Son, tell them what you know. Why suffer like this?¡± Nicholas tried to persuade Carter. ¡°Bah! Who¡¯s your son?¡± The lich directly spat on Nicholas¡¯ face. ¡°You b*stard, how dare you spit on your father!¡± Nicholas wanted to hit this unfilial son. However, he was stopped by Hilter. ¡°You¡¯d better not cause any more trouble. Follow me!¡± Hilter led Nicholas out. ¡°Who exactly told you to come here?¡± Hilt asked Nicholas with a serious expression. ¡°His mother.¡± Nicholas knew the seriousness of the matter, so he did not hide it like before and began to tell the truth. ¡°Are you still in contact with that woman? Are you going to continue being cuckolded?¡± Hilter asked with some disappointment. ¡°No contact. It¡¯s just that someone suddenly sent me a letter,¡± Nicholas said embarrassingly. ¡°Forget it. Get lost quickly. I¡¯ll update you when there¡¯s news. When you go back, check on your wife,¡± Hilter instructed. He felt that the woman who betrayed Nicholas should be a member of the Church of Darkness. ¡°Yes, I got it.¡± After saying that, Nicholas mustered his fighting spirit and flew into the distance. Hilter returned to the dungeon. Wei Nuo was as cold as an ice mountain. Li Wei was releasing Holy Flames at the side. ¡°Uncle, who is that person?¡± Li Wei asked carefully. After all, he might be his enemy. ¡°The former patriarch of the Nicholas family. But because of a woman, he was chased out of the family by a few old stubborn elders. He¡¯s now a minor noble in Cassano Province,¡± Hilter briefly explained. ¡°What kind of family is the Nicholas family?¡± Li Wei asked again. ¡°Owen only taught you how to fight. Your cultural knowledge is a little lacking. I¡¯ll give you a make-up lesson in a few days,¡± Hilter first ridiculed Owen, then cleared his throat and said. ¡°The Nicholas family is one of the four great families of the Holy See. The first patriarch established a religion with the first pope. Legend has it that he received the blessing of the god of light. ¡°After that, each of their patriarchs would basically become the presiding judge of the Holy See¡¯s judgment. Of course, sometimes, it wouldn¡¯t be them. ¡°For example, the author of your cultivation technique, the Holy Knight of Judgment, is an exception. That¡¯s a true existence that has been dominating for a hundred years. During those hundred years, no matter what race it is, they¡¯ll not be able to match up to him. ¡°Of course, that¡¯s only because the Holy Knight of Judgment is too strong, and not because the Nicholas family is weak. ¡°They control the strongest violent organization in the Holy See and they are also the bloodiest group of people in the Holy See. It can be said that no family in the region can match up to them,¡± Hilter explained to Li Wei. Hearing this, Li Wei nodded. As for the name and the family name, he knew that many family heads would share the same name with their ancestors in order to remember the martyrs. ¡°Looks like they won¡¯t say anything. Kill them.¡± Wei Nuo, who had been sitting for a long time with a cold expression, returned to normal at this time. ¡°Okay, Grandpa Wei Nuo.¡± After saying that, Li Wei increased the output of his battle spirit from the Holy Flame. Then, he burned all twenty-six liches into a wisp of green smoke. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go.¡± After saying that, Wei Nuo got up and walked out. Hilter also followed him out. As soon as they walked out, a man wearing a mask came. ¡°Director, Sir, we found the bodies of the castellan¡¯s family,¡± the man bowed to Hilter and said. ¡°Are they all dead? It shouldn¡¯t be!¡± Hilter was puzzled. ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s the people of the castellan¡¯s mansion? Everyone?¡± Hilter asked in a more serious tone. ¡°Yes. We compared them one by one. Except for the eldest son who went to Cassano Academy, the others are all there,¡± the person replied again. ¡°Alright, you can go now.¡± Hilter waved his hand to let that person go. Hilter now felt that he seemed to have walked into a dead end. He could not find any traces of the Church of Darkness. ¡°Take it slow. Now that they have gotten what they want, they¡¯ll definitely go into hibernation for a while. After a period, they¡¯ll appear on their own.¡± At this time, the experienced Wei Nuo opened his mouth. ¡°Now, you go and train with Li Wei..¡± Chapter 39 - Cultivation and Insurrection! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation With that, Wei Nuo was teleported back to his residence. Owen¡¯s condition was not stable at the moment so he could not stay away for long. After Wei Nuo left, Hilter brought Li Wei to a lake. This was another forbidden area of the academy. It was diagonally opposite to where Wei Nuo was. Beside the lake, a huge black dragon was sleeping. Li Wei knew that this was Milan. ¡°She ate something good in the divine meteorite dimension and is currently digesting it,¡± Hilter explained to Li Wei. Li Wei nodded. ¡°Magical beasts are different from humans. For humans like you and the holy son, the outcome of medicine is its effect. However, for magical beasts, they can also digest that energy. ¡°So, hurry up and cultivate. Otherwise, Milan might wake up and enter the growth stage. You might be left behind.¡± Hilter smiled at Li Wei. ¡°Understood, Uncle.¡± Li Wei agreed seriously. ¡°Alright, let me give you a lecture. There are various elements between heaven and earth. There are also humans and beasts with various attributes. ¡°However, not all attributes correspond to the elements. For example, Milan¡¯s power attribute, your holy attribute, and my wisdom attribute. ¡°These are attributes that don¡¯t correspond to the elements. Magicians and knights all have corresponding attribute training methods. ¡°However, every time a new attribute appears, a person needs to comprehend and create it. The holy attribute in your body is the advanced attribute of light and fire that the Holy Knight of Judgment was the first to discover. Therefore, you¡¯ll have to rely on yourself to cultivate the destruction attribute,¡± Hilter spoke slowly to Li Wei. ¡°However, there¡¯s no need to be anxious. Once this attribute appears in your body, you¡¯ll be able to perceive and comprehend it. Once you start to comprehend it, you¡¯ll be able to use it. Now, I¡¯m here to teach you how to perceive your own attribute¡­¡± Throughout the afternoon, Li Wei had been cultivating under Hilter¡¯s guidance. At night, Hilter went out to busy himself with other matters. Only Li Wei was left here. Li Wei was trying to perceive his own destruction attribute when he suddenly remembered the system. Then, he began to modify the time for his state of perception. In an instant, Li Wei felt the existence of the destruction attribute and started to truly comprehend it. Although a thousand years had passed in a flash, the mysterious feeling made Li Wei unable to stop. Even though the system changed the time, Li Wei did not stop comprehending it. As his comprehension deepened, Li Wei subconsciously used the power of the attribute. The land with Li Wei as the center disappeared into thin air. It was Li Wei who used the power of annihilation to wipe it out. Just as the range of Li Wei¡¯s impact grew larger and larger and was about to touch Milan, Wei Nuo slowly appeared and gently lifted Milan into the air with one hand. Soon, Hilter also rushed back. ¡°This is an epiphany?¡± ¡°An epiphany of the unity of heaven and man.¡± ¡°Then, this kid¡¯s luck is really good!¡± Hilter said with a face full of envy. ¡°This fluctuation is about to touch the law.¡± Wei Nuo¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. ¡°What?!¡± Hilter was a little stunned. This person touched the law just like that? ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that only super high magicians can use the law?¡± ¡°This is an opportunity!¡± ¡°Although he only comprehended a little, it will be of great benefit to his growth in the future,¡± Wei Nuo said indifferently. The two of them stood in the air. Under Wei Nuo¡¯s spiritual power, the two of them seemed to have disappeared. After an unknown amount of time, Li Wei slowly opened his eyes. What he saw was a big pit in front of him. Only his seat was still intact. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Li Wei was a little puzzled. ¡°Don¡¯t think about it, just try your own strength.¡± Only then did Li Wei notice that Wei Nuo and Hilter were floating in the air. Hearing that, Li Wei nodded and began to use his battle spirit. He could feel that the new attributes were unconsciously added into his battle spirit and he punched his fist out. There was no explosion and no impact but it seemed to melt the ground. ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s the feeling. You can go and train yourself now.¡± Hilter left after seeing that. These days, Li Wei had been training in his own small courtyard. One day, Li Wei was nurturing his combat aura when suddenly, a huge vibration came from afar. Li Wei was curious about what was going on. At this time, Hilter appeared. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing for you to do, cultivate well.¡± Li Wei nodded. At his current level, he could not help much at all. It was better to cultivate quickly and be able to participate in the events sooner. Thus, Li Wei began to cultivate. On the other side, Wei Nuo was directly teleported to the depths of the Magical Beast Forest. At this time, a huge magical beast was fighting with a man dressed in black. The magical beast was using all of its power to attack. However, it could not harm the man in the slightest. After Wei Nuo appeared, the man stopped playing around and pierced through the huge magical beast¡¯s head with a finger. ¡°It seems that an extraordinary person has arrived. What¡¯s your name? Are you a new expert that has appeared in recent years?¡± the man looked at Wei Nuo and asked. Wei Nuo did not say anything. Instead, he secretly gathered his strength, intending to give the other party a fatal blow. ¡°How troublesome. We¡¯ll meet again next time.¡± After saying that, the black-clothed man gradually disappeared. Wei Nuo naturally did not want to let the other party off. He raised his hand and crushed the space force around the man. That person seemed to be speaking, but he was unable to transmit it out from the shattered space. Wei Nuo could not stop him, so he could only return resentfully. Wei Nuo returned to his wooden house and looked at Owen on the bed. This disciple¡¯s curse seemed to be the work of that black-clothed man. Unfortunately, he could not capture him. Wei Nuo knew that that was the so-called demon lord, and he had been resurrected. Just as Wei Nuo had left, the earth-rank magical beasts in the Magical Beast Forest began to go berserk, rushing toward Vigil City and the other cities, one after another. By the time the people got the news, it was already the second day. ¡°What? A beast tide!? What¡¯s going on in the Magical Beast Forest again?¡± Hilter shouted in his office. ¡°It¡¯s not a real magical beast tide, it¡¯s just a low-level magical beast¡¯s attack,¡± the person who came to deliver the letter said. ¡°It¡¯s the Church of Darkness. Their goal is to delay us.¡± At this time, Wei Nuo appeared. ¡°Then, send a scout team over.¡± Hearing that, Hilter quickly made some arrangements. ¡°Mm, you make your own decision. I¡¯m just here to tell you what I know.¡± After saying that, Wei Nuo left the place. Li Wei did not know what was happening. He cultivated peacefully in his own courtyard for another week. On this day, Deputy Dean Bill came to him. ¡°Dean wants to see you..¡± Chapter 40 - Elite Competition of the Four Academies Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li Wei was curious. Ever since the incident last time, all the higher-ups of the academy had not called out to him. Then, what would be the reason for calling out to him this time? ¡°Hurry up!¡± Bill was obviously unwilling to talk to Li Wei. Li Wei did not care about this guy¡¯s attitude and walked toward Hilter¡¯s office. When he arrived at the office, Hilter asked Li Wei to wait for a while. It turned out that Bill was taking advantage of his seniority and did not take Hilter¡¯s orders seriously. So, he deliberately went back to the office first, which was why he came here. ¡°Dean, what¡¯s the matter?¡± As soon as Bill entered the room, his face immediately changed as if the person who was cursing outside was not him. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I heard that you wanted to expel Li Wei and Owen?¡± Hilter asked calmly. Bill felt that the dean wanted to support him, so he became firm at that moment. ¡°That¡¯s right, Dean. One of them had a vicious bet and the other didn¡¯t respect his elders. We should expel them!¡± Bill said fiercely. ¡°Oh, is there any other way besides expulsion? After all, Li Wei and Owen are both quite young. They can¡¯t leave the academy.¡± Hilter pretended to be deep in thought. ¡°Dean, you can¡¯t be merciful. This is a problem with the academy¡¯s style of study. We can¡¯t let them lead us astray.¡± Bill felt that this was the dean pretending to be merciful in front of Li Wei. ¡°But the two of them are already grown-up geniuses and one of them is a rare genius. If we do this, our academy will suffer a great loss.¡± Hilter looked as if it was even more difficult to decide. ¡°Dean, we can¡¯t hesitate about this kind of matter. We can¡¯t keep this kind of person who has tarnished the reputation of Spano Academy no matter how good his talent is. ¡°Moreover, our academy doesn¡¯t lack geniuses. How can we only care about them? Then, how are we going to set a good example for our students?¡± Bill said righteously. Li Wei tried hard to hold back his laughter. Who was the one who chose this person to become the Vice Dean? This brain of his¡­ As for Hilter, he gritted his teeth and slowly opened his mouth. ¡°Alright then, Bill, you¡¯re fired.¡± ¡°Hahaha, did you hear that, Li Wei? You¡¯re¡­ Who? Who¡¯s fired?¡± Bill was about to mock Li Wei when he suddenly reacted. ¡°I¡¯m talking about you being fired. Now I can tell you clearly that Owen is my younger brother and Li Wei is my nephew. ¡°If you want to expel them, I¡¯ll only stop you. However, there are other reasons why I have to fire you.¡± As he spoke, Hilter took out a book from his desk. ¡°This is the City Lord¡¯s record of bribery over the years,¡± Hilter said. At this moment, Bill knew that he was about to go down. Back then, the City Lord¡¯s youngest son was able to attend classes here when he was still an odd-job student was because of his help. There were also various activities going on in the academy. As long as the City Lord dared to give, there was nothing that Bill would not dare to accept. ¡°Dean, forgive me! I beg you to forgive me.¡± Bill immediately knelt on the ground and began to beg for mercy. ¡°You¡¯ve gone too far these years. Now is the time for you to pay the price. Go to the Royal Capital Prison and reflect on yourself,¡± Hilter said coldly. ¡°Good for you, Hilter. I¡¯ve followed you for so many years. Even if I haven¡¯t contributed much, I¡¯ve worked hard. Now, you want to expel me just because you received some benefits?¡± After saying that, Bill cast a spell and planned to escape. However, his plan was obviously not successful in front of Hilter, who possessed the wisdom attribute. Hilter waved his hand and the office was locked tightly. A few people wearing armor appeared, grabbed Bill¡¯s arm, and took him away. ¡°Hahaha!¡± After Bill was taken away, Li Wei could not hold it in anymore. He did not expect the Vice Dean to be so silly and cute. ¡°He wasn¡¯t like this in the past. He was just corrupted these years. Time can really change a lot of things.¡± Hilter sighed. ¡°Dean is right,¡± Li Wei pretended to be serious and replied. When Hilter saw Li Wei, he could not help but think of Owen. These two people were indeed quite similar now. ¡°Alright, let me talk to you about serious matters.¡± Hilter paused for a moment, then continued, ¡°You probably don¡¯t know that the academy has a higher level of students among the official students, right? ¡°That¡¯s the elite students. That¡¯s the true foundation of an academy. This is also why Diss has always stayed in the academy. Originally, he had a chance, but now, it¡¯s a pity. ¡°The majority of the elite students are four or five years older than you. They are all chosen from ordinary students. Therefore, they are definitely stronger than you. So, I plan to let you join the elite students.¡± After Hilter finished speaking, Li Wei fell into deep thought. He had just heard about this matter. ¡°I can do it.¡± Li Wei agreed. ¡°Okay. In ten days, there will be an academic exchange between the four academies. Of course, the so-called academic exchange is definitely not an exchange of theories. There will also be a written test. ¡°To be honest, although our academy¡¯s teachers¡¯ team was strong before, the academy¡¯s general talent isn¡¯t as good as the other three academies. ¡°Therefore, we¡¯re usually at the bottom. Fortunately, there are you and Milan this year. So, I hope that you and Milan will be able to come out first and second,¡± Hilter said sincerely. After all, they had the most powerful teachers, but the students were not outstanding. This was a pain in Hilter¡¯s heart. However, he had no choice. After all, Spano Academy was built in a remote place. Even the geniuses of his own province were not willing to come here. Now, with the appearance of Li Wei and Milan, he saw hope. ¡°Hey, Uncle, you just said that they are stronger than me. Now you want me to fight for the first place. Isn¡¯t that making things difficult for me?¡± Li Wei asked somewhat helplessly. ¡°Your cultivation is weaker than theirs, but the combat power and cultivation aren¡¯t 100% compatible. I think that the two of you to deal with people of a higher level isn¡¯t a problem,¡± Hilter analyzed seriously. ¡°It¡¯s very tiring to kill someone of a higher cultivation level. You have to expend a large amount of combat aura and you also have to think of ways to find flaws. It¡¯s very taxing on your physical and mental strength.¡± Li Wei did not want to take this job. ¡°Then, what do you want?¡± ¡°Uncle, you should at least give me some benefits,¡± Li Wei expressed his thoughts. ¡°Let me think about it. How about this, the library will be fully open to you.¡± ¡°That¡¯s it? Why don¡¯t I ask Grandpa Wei Nuo for help?¡± ¡°The reward is 50,000 gold coins!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not short of money now.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll develop your consciousness!¡± ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± Li Wei was stunned. What did it mean to develop one¡¯s consciousness? ¡°This is my special ability. It can broaden a person¡¯s consciousness,¡± Hilter said proudly. ¡°Alright then. Add this to the ones you said earlier.¡± Li Wei immediately decided. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you don¡¯t want those that I suggested earlier?¡± Hilter was a little flustered and exasperated. ¡°I can refuse, but you can¡¯t.¡± ¡°Alright, deal.¡± In the end, Hilter still compromised. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Uncle. We¡¯re duty-bound to rebuild the glory of the academy!¡± After saying that, Li Wei left. He was afraid that Hilter would go back on his words. ¡°Little rascal, it¡¯s so good to be young!¡± Hilter looked in the direction where Li Wei left and scolded him jokingly. Then, he sighed..
