Chapter 1033: Fusion! Deep Blue Body! (4)

“Then you should stay here, but still, be cautious. The Wizard World is much more dangerous than the human world.”

Over the next three days, Levi had been adjusting himself.

“I haven’t dealt with black beasts before, but it seems there are plenty of them in the Dark Ancient Tower. This is a good chance for me to get some practice, see how capable these people are. If they can really hunt down fifth-level black beasts, then I’ll join them for a bit… If not, I’ll just slip away.”

Levi had no intention of facing fifth-level black beasts alone.

It was said that black beasts, to adapt to the harsh environment of the Land of Darkness, had strength far surpassing the average transcendent creature of the same realm, nearing that of wizards in the same realm.

The next day, inside the inn, Levi noticed that his Golden Dragon Heavenly Shield was shining even brighter.

He glanced at his proficiency panel and saw that his Bloodline Divine Weapon had advanced to level 2.

“Defense has slightly increased.”

But that wasn’t all.

With a thought, Levi emitted a chill, and his body began to turn woody. He transformed into a sturdy, ice-cold tree.

His second body tempering technique, Frost Wood Body, had also reached the fourth-circle level.

“Mastering just one body tempering technique should suffice.”

Without hesitation, Levi merged Frost Wood Body Tempering Technique with Metal Poison Body Tempering Technique.

At the same time, the golden Toxic Swarm within him began to devour the Frost Wood Body, emitting an eerie, rustling sound like termites gnawing on wood.

The next day, Levi found that the golden Toxic Swarm inside him had turned into a strange deep blue color, exuding a mysterious cold aura and vitality, making it unpredictable.

In a moment of thought, a figure identical to Levi in deep blue emerged from his body, facing him.

This figure had no emotions or thoughts. It was still composed of Toxic Swarm, but its surface was covered in even more complex body-refining runes.

Levi could sense that after multiple mergers, the strength of this body-tempering clone had become even stronger. Even an ordinary senior Fourth-Circle Wizard might not be its match.

“The deep blue body-tempering clone… Let’s call it the Deep Blue Sage body tempering technique from now on. This technique is capable of reaching the realm of primordial soul wizards. In the Wizard World, it’s undoubtedly the top-tier body tempering technique!

But… it’s not enough! I need to continue searching for other body tempering techniques to merge with. Perhaps, I’ll become the first Grand Wizard-level body-refining wizard!”

He opened the proficiency panel.

Levi, Deep Blue Sage Body Tempering Technique: Level 8 (25,124/100,000), Special Effect: Deep Blue Body.

…

[Deep Blue Body: Possesses strong defense, resilience, strength, shape-shifting, stretching abilities, strong resistance against thunder and frost elemental attacks, and strong resistance against negative energy erosion.]

“Come back, Deep Blue,” Levi said to the Deep Blue Sage clone, though it was more like talking to himself since the clone had no consciousness.

The Deep Blue Sage turned into smoke and surged back into Levi’s body.

After a moment, he returned to normal.

Three days later, Levi was practicing his breathing technique when suddenly the letter in his hand began to burn, revealing writing on it.

It was the coordinates of the secret realm provided by that person.

Levi looked at his arm, and his current danger perception was fluctuating within normal ranges.

“Third time entering the secret realm. Hopefully, everything goes smoothly!”

…

The scorched black desert!

This was a desolate area in the eastern part of the Flaming Mountain.

In fact, not only humans, but other creatures were also scarce here.

Occasionally, some low-level fire elemental transcendent creatures passed by, quickly disappearing into the vast desert.

In the center of a certain part of the desert, there was a pitch-black crater.

The crater emitted blazing flames and exuded terrifying heat, along with the smell of sulfur.

Around the crater, three Fourth-Circle Wizards were sitting cross-legged. After dividing the area with protective arrays, they rested and meditated.

When Levi arrived, the three men turned their attention towards him.

One of them, wearing a mask, was the wizard Levi had met the other day.

His name was Eman, but it probably wasn’t his real name; he had been the leader of that expedition.

Eman said, “Gentlemen, this was Lord Geralt, the final member of our secret realm exploration team.”

“Lord Geralt, this was Fire Wolf Quill, a Fourth-Circle Array Wizard, crucial to our mission. To recruit him… let’s just say it had cost me quite a bit,” Eman said with a smirk. “And the other was Fire Crow Bob, a powerful external wizard from the Fire Bull family.”

“Nice to meet you both,” Levi smiled.

“Eman, we were going after a Level 5 Black Beast this time… Your choice for the last member seemed a bit casual,” Fire Wolf glanced at Levi, sensing Levi’s much weaker spiritual force than his own, and couldn’t help but transmit his voice.

“Geralt specialized in body tempering. If the Level 5 Black Beast went berserk, we could let him handle it for a while. Besides, if it weren’t for your array needing seven people to activate, we wouldn’t need so many people. The more people, the greater the likelihood of something going wrong. I had used some weaker Fourth-Circle Wizards to fill the numbers. When we killed the Level 5 Black Beast, we would start cleaning up, leaving the others behind… In the end, it would just be the two of us sharing that Black Flame Meteorite Iron, wouldn’t it?” Eman replied via voice transmission.

Fire Wolf Wizard understood the logic and didn’t say much more.

The Fire Crow Wizard, on the other hand, remained silent and meditated alone.

Seeing that neither of the two men had paid him any attention, Levi hadn’t bothered to disturb them and had quietly waited for the others to arrive.
