Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 624 - 41: Advancement

"Hmm..."

Lynn sheathed his longsword and looked at the blade with some surprise:

"This sword’s power is much greater than I imagined; it’s probably not far from a Fourth Tier Artifact."

A Second Ring Wizard who gave it their all, carrying multiple life-saving trump cards, ended up having no effect under the assault of the Destruction Sword.

Death Replacement!

Fake Body!

Instant Teleportation!

...

The Power of Annihilation fell, and all methods collapsed. Cregi died on the spot.

Sheathing the longsword, the barrier that enveloped the entire courtyard shattered, alarming the patrolling personnel in the city.

However, the first to arrive was the Guardian Envoy of the academy, the Second Tier Peak Legendary Creature, the Three-eyed White Crow.

"White Crow Senior!"

Lynn stood amidst the ruins, having just collected his spoils of war, and greeted the wing-fluttering White Crow:

"Someone ambushed me here. Fortunately, with the feather bestowed by you, otherwise, I would have scarcely escaped this ordeal."

"Caw... Caw..." The White Crow’s three eyes flickered back and forth:

"I sensed my power being triggered, so I came over, but the situation seems not that simple."

Its vertical eye at the forehead blinked slightly, whispering:

"The Loo Family?"

"Yes."

Lynn stepped aside, revealing the unconscious Mandy behind him:

"The shop managed by Mandy has the support of the Loo Family, and these people should also be related to the Loo Family."

"Caw... Caw..." The White Crow cawed irritably:

"Such bad luck!"

"I absolutely don’t want to get involved in anything related to the Loo Family, so when others arrive, make sure not to mention I was here."

"Goodbye!"

Saying so, it flapped its wings, turning into a white streak heading towards the core of the academy.

Lynn opened his mouth, shaking his head slightly with a hint of helplessness.

He could understand the White Crow’s actions too.

After all, the Loo Family is one of the nine ancient wizard families, with terrifying power.

Even being merely associated is something it avoids, not intending to question what transpired, fearing any involvement.

However...

Isn’t it a bit too late now?

"Shush!"

Just as the White Crow departed, a figure opened a teleportation portal and appeared at the scene, sweeping the area with a cold gaze.

Upon seeing Lynn and the unconscious Mandy, a slight relaxation eased their expression.

"Miss Julia."

Lynn hastily greeted, simultaneously gesturing for Susan to turn into human skin and attach to his robe.

"Hmm."

Julia nodded expressionlessly:

"What happened?"

"There was an error with the goods you arranged," Lynn shrugged:

"A Second Ring Wizard removed the prohibition on the goods, injured Mandy, and even tried to devour the bloodline I carry."

"Luckily..."

"This is Viper Academy; their plans were foiled."

"Cregi," Julia recognized the corpse on the ground, her eyes icy:

"He was a servant by my half-brother’s side. It seems Theodore came as well, I knew it."

Lynn remained silent.

"Well done!"

Julia took a deep breath, then nodded:

"Fortunately, you aren’t harmed, or I’d have to make some concessions to Theodore."

"Now..."

"Hmph!"

She scoffed coldly, asking:

"Was it Viper Academy’s Three-eyed White Crow just now?"

"Yes."

Lynn lowered his head:

"White Crow Senior said, don’t let anyone know it was here, in case of unnecessary trouble."

"Hmph!" Julia sneered with disdain:

"Living for over a thousand years, yet still cowardly to a pathetic extent. Nonetheless, it ultimately helped me solve a problem."

She didn’t believe it was Lynn who killed Cregi; after all, Cregi had been a Second Ring Wizard for quite a while.

Even with Cregi’s strength, very few in Viper Academy could kill him.

The Three-eyed White Crow was one such!

As a Second Tier Legendary Creature, its lifespan far surpassed that of wizards of the same tier, and as a being over a thousand years old, it also held some academy privileges. Killing Cregi with White Crow’s methods was not difficult.

Lynn didn’t explain, he intended to guide things in that direction even if the other party hadn’t said so.

"The goods are still there."

Julia turned and asked:

"The corpse is a bit rotten, but it shouldn’t interfere with its use, right?"

"Not much of an issue."

"That’s good."

Julia breathed a sigh of relief:

"In addition to these three goods, I’ve prepared some auxiliary potions for you, to enhance your spiritual power. Within half a year, you must meet the requirements."

"Of course." Lynn bowed:

"Rest assured, Miss Julia."

Half a year,

First Tier Peak!

No!

He must reach the Second Tier!

Three corpses lay on the ground, Lynn transformed into a horned Fire Scale Flood Dragon, circling around the bodies repeatedly.

"Hiss... Hiss..."

He flicked his tongue, hissing.

As the Great Flame Witch Vein Technique operated, strands of blood-red smoke emanated from the corpses.

Bloodline Power!

The Fire Scale Flood Dragon opened its mouth, continuously devouring the bloodline contained in the three corpses to strengthen itself.

As time passed,

The horns atop the head of the Fire Scale Flood Dragon grew larger and more distinct, resembling fiery red coral.

Not just that.

On its abdomen, a few slender dragon claws began to slowly emerge, with its scales becoming denser and more resilient.

Flood Dragon!

"Roar!"

Lynn roared towards the sky, coiling his body lightly, then surprisingly flew up, suspended in mid-air.

Soaring!

This was evidently the talent ability of the Flood Dragon bloodline.

Second Tier Middle Stage!

"Phew..."

As the bloodline advanced, Lynn’s spiritual power surged along, progressing from the First Ring Late Stage towards the First Ring Peak at an almost visible speed, with the implication of breaking into the Second Ring Realm.

"Not enough!"

His eyes flashing, Lynn opened his mouth and spat sharply.

"Phew..."

Second Tier Mixed Fire manifested at the scene, dividing into three strands, heading towards the corpses below.

He planned to refine the flames within the corpses.

Fire Tiger, Fire Spider, Fire Fox—all were First Tier Late Stage Legendary Creatures, each with distinct Lifebound Flames.

With prior experience, and given the higher tier overpowering the lower tier, the refining process was quick this time.

Half a month later.

A group of flames, the size of a millstone, floated quietly above Lynn’s head, with its blazing white flames slowly blooming.

"Second Tier Middle Stage!"

"Just a bit more..."

But this was easily manageable for him.

The previously obtained Mixed Fire originated from his true form, and its original points were unused, thus he could exchange them at the academy for a Second Tier Magic Fire.

Emerald Abyss Fire!

A Second Tier Magic Fire born from the extreme cold within the icy plains, possessing a unique ability to freeze souls.

"Flame Heart, absorb for me!"

With a low roar, the Fire Scale Flood Dragon, already somewhat a fledgling Flood Dragon, opened its mouth wide, exhaling a fiery blaze.

One month later.

Lynn, transformed into human form, sat on a chair, his eyes closed, quietly sensing the changes within his body.

Bloodline: Second Tier Middle Stage.

Fire: Second Tier Late Stage.

The Great Flame Witch Vein inheritance, with a higher bloodline level, accelerates the practice speed; Flame Heart, the higher the tier of flames mastered, the greater the assistance in cultivation.

With the two combined...

At this moment, Lynn’s cultivation advanced at lightning speed, and his spiritual power increased visibly.

First Ring Late Stage!

First Ring Peak!

Until...

Second Ring!

"Phew..."

Exhaling a long breath, Lynn slowly opened his eyes.
