Manla said, “Alright, Lord Kallius. I will tell you everything I know.”
Kallius nodded and began his inquiries.
Levi was still cultivating when the two enforcers finished their questioning and left the Gray Tower.
As the sea beast rode the wind and waves, the two enforcers chatted.
Kallius sneered, “Manla and Dora have already agreed to testify against Kane the Fireplay Master from Azure Fire Alliance. Humph. Those outsiders from the Burning Faction are playing tricks in the Realm of Azure Cloud. Kane was a member of this alliance. Now that Kane’s scandal is known far and wide, I want to see how the Azure Fire Alliance will deal with this matter.”
“Yeah. By the way, did the bureau discover the cause of Kane’s death?” Clarice asked.
Kallius replied helplessly, “No. We can only confirm that Kane is dead through the Soul Jade, but we can’t find his body. Ordinary investigators wouldn’t be able to find anything in the Endless Sea. Those people from the Azure Fire Alliance have joined forces to put pressure on us, claiming that we don’t respect the rights of the minority groups and that we’re too perfunctory in investigating Kane’s death.”
Clarice sneered when she heard that. “Humph. They dare make such claims. These people don’t know how busy we are right now. Recently, more and more dark wizard organizations have appeared all over the Wizard World, not just in the Realm of Azure Cloud. There seems to be a mastermind behind the scenes. What manpower do we have to spare to investigate the cause of death of a
Burning Faction wizard? Moreover, Kane was a complete scumbag. In my
opinion, no one will mourn his death.”
The two enforcers left the Gray Tower while exchanging their opinions on this issue.
Levi only found out about the enforcers’ visit a month after they left.
He had been engrossed in cultivation during this period and tried his best to improve his strength. After he came out of seclusion, he went to look for Manla and learned about this from the latter.
Levi thought, “Interesting. It seems like there is a feud between the Star Tower and the Azure Fire Alliance.”
As far as Levi knew, the Azure Fire Alliance was an alliance formed by all the Burning Faction wizards in the Realm of Azure Cloud. For various reasons, they all resided there. They established the organization to support each other in the foreign land.
In the beginning, this organization was quite normal.
However, as time went on, things changed. They constantly sought benefits in the name of protecting the interests of the minority.
Although the Star Tower was unhappy with this organization, they could not do anything. After all, they were all members of the Pan-Plane Wizard Council. There was no need to make things awkward.
Moreover, the Burning Faction was one of the largest factions in the Realm of Crimson. The Burning Faction had slightly more seats than the Ocean Faction on the Pan-Plane Wizard Council.
Levi was relieved after knowing that the two law enforcers were only here to ask about the crimes Kane had committed against Dora and the other apprentice wizards.
It had been so long, and they still hadn’t found out who was behind Kane’s death. It would be even harder to do so as time went on. The probability of him being caught was not high.
Levi then began his regular cultivation.
There weren’t many breathing techniques he could cultivate right now. The only ones he could cultivate were Blood Beast, Red Lotus, and Undying Bird.
Therefore, he could spare some time to work on his cultivation as an apprentice wizard.
Currently, he had mastered the four major Meditation Arts.
He had mastered level 2 Deep Sea Meditation Art, level 2 Night Crow
Meditation Art, level 2 Earth Meditation Art, and level 1 Sun Meditation Art.
He cultivated the Earth Meditation Art and the Sun Meditation Art the fastest due to the effect of the elemental affinity talent.
This was especially true for the Earth Meditation Art. He was close to breaking through to level 3.
Levi wanted to become a high-level apprentice wizard as soon as possible. That way, he could learn more cantrip. He could also break through the limit of Black Devil Blade and advance to level 4.
After his Black Devil Blade reached level 4, his Nine Swords Form should also grow stronger.
This was the fastest way for him to increase his strength.
Throughout the second half of the year 1021, Levi did not step out of the Gray Tower.
Now that Manla had returned, with Levi’s help, he and his daughter Dora had gradually overcome their trauma.
Levi and Manla continued to work together, and Manla also found some breathing technique inheritance diagrams for Levi.
Apart from inheritance diagrams focusing on strength and speed, Levi was surprised that Manla had found him an excellent-grade breathing technique focusing on endurance and a shallow-grade breathing technique focusing on perception.
The breathing technique focusing on endurance was called the Hunchback
Dragon Breathing Technique.
Levi knew of one other such breathing technique. It was the Dragon Breathing Technique of the Jade Royal Family. The breathing technique was inspired by the Emerald Dragon, a beautiful and elegant green dragon from myth.
The royal family’s breathing technique was of perfect grade. On the other hand, the Hunchback Dragon Breathing Technique was slightly inferior to the one the royal family had. It was similar to the Black Snake Breathing Technique before the latter broke through its limit.
From the descriptions of myth and legend, Levi felt that the Hunchback Dragon should be a type of giant dragon, but he did not know if it was pure-blood or mixed-blooded.
It was called a Hunchback Dragon because it had a hump on its back that was similar to a camel’s.
Levi looked at the description of the breathing technique and could not help but reveal a strange expression.
He muttered, “I feel that, like the Blood Whale Breathing Technique, cultivating this Hunchback Dragon Breathing Technique will allow me to grow an extra organ.”
Currently, Levi had a whale sac that was born from the Blood Whale Breathing Technique. This organ was similar to the supernatural organs knights acquired after they became legendary knights. However, unlike the supernatural organs, Levi acquired the whale sac without cultivating the technique to the legendary realm.
Like the Blood Whale Breathing Technique, the Hunchback Dragon Breathing Technique would cause him to have a hump on his back.
The function of the hump was similar to that of the Blood Whale sac. They could both store a large amount of energy. The slight difference between them was that the hump could absorb and store a portion of the enemy’s attack power and momentum during battle. Then, the knight could unleash the power stored in the hump back to their opponent.
Therefore, Levi did not hesitate to learn the Hunchback Dragon Breathing Technique. After all, he had the special effect of Thousand Faces. Even if he grew an ugly hump, he could conceal it with his special effect.
Levi inspected the secret medicine of the Hunchback Dragon Breathing Technique, and it was as he had imagined. The main ingredient was the blood of Earth Dragon, one of the few creatures in the human world with the blood of the Dragon Clan.
He could replace it with the blood of the Dragon King Whale Leviathan.
Levi plotted, “Although this is cruel to Leviathan, there’s no other way. I have to milk it. In the future, I’ll give it more delicious food to nourish it. I can also find it a wife in the future to produce a nest of baby Dragon King Whales for me to extract blood from.”
Other than the Hunchback Dragon Breathing Technique, there was another breathing technique focusing on perception called the Black Jellyfish Breathing Technique. It was only a shallow-grade breathing technique that could be cultivated to level 4 at most.
Levi looked at it and felt that this breathing technique was similar to the
Man-Faced Spider Breathing Technique. After he cultivated the Black Jellyfish Breathing Technique to its maximum, he could use it as a material to break through the limits of the Man-Faced Spider Breathing Technique or the Night Owl Breathing Technique.
The two breathing techniques Manla found were pleasant surprises for Levi.
It was the Month of Beginning of the Year 1022 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar.
It had been almost a year since Kane’s death, and so far, no one had come to investigate Levi.
Levi was certain that the authorities did not put much effort into investigating Kane’s death. They probably just sent a few low-level enforcers to put on an act and go through the process. After the period of prosecution ended, the case would be closed.
He planned to return to the island after a while. If Kane’s body was still there and no one touched it, he would turn Kane into a living dead. If the body had disappeared, then Levi would forget about it.
After obtaining the Black Jellyfish Breathing Technique, Levi quickly maxed it out.
He gained a special effect of Beginner Vibrosensing from doing so. There was no second special effect.
Levi did not hesitate and used both the Black Jellyfish Breathing Technique and the Night Owl Breathing Technique to advance the Man-Faced Spider Breathing Technique.
Perhaps it was because the Man-Faced Spider Breathing Technique and the Night Owl Breathing Technique were both peak level 6 breathing techniques, after the Night Owl Breathing Technique was merged with the Man-Faced Spider Breathing Technique, the latter underwent a considerable change.
