Levi.
King Kong Breathing Technique: Level 13 (1/400,000), Special Effect: King Kongâs Wrath (Level One), Frost Heart, King Kongâs Wrath.
[Long-Armed King Kong: The arms of King Kong possess unparalleled strength, capable of moving mountains and seas, omnipotent. The blood of King Kong within you grants you the capital to wrestle with giants of the same realm. This special effect can be upgraded with the advancement of bloodline.]
âAdhering to the norms, not too dazzling, just pure strength,â Levi muttered to himself.
âNext, Iâll wait for Level 13 to combine Red Lotus, King Kong, Dragon Demon, and Black Whale.â
Now it was the 1,056th year of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, the Month of Grass, marking the 20th year of the Great Expedition.
Levi was now 66 years old.
His spiritual force had reached 85 points, and his spell power had reached 2,500 points.
Levi has mastered all the second-ring spells to the maximum level, with a special mention of his original spell, Glacial Finger, a level 7 spell that, at its maximum, pierces through everything with considerable power.
Getting up, he went to the Tower of Pharmacists and met Grimm and Tommen, whom he hadnât seen in a long time.
âHow have you all been lately?â Levi asked.
âIt definitely hasnât been as good as yours,â Grimm retorted, giving Levi a disdainful look.
Everyone knew that Levi was the strongest employee under Huffman, possessing unparalleled pharmaceutical skills. Within the Tower of Pharmacists, he ranked just below the Tower Master and supervisors.
âI heard that once you reached the third circle, the Green Forest Sage wanted you to become a supervisor,â Tommen said, sharing some gossip he had picked up from unknown sources, something even Levi hadnât heard.
âIs it true? Whose information is this? Levi, you were on the fast track to success,â Grimm said, somewhat astonished.
âIâm not sure, but the three of us, brothers for nearly twenty years in Riptide City, saw you, Levi, as our last hope,â Tommen looked at Levi eagerly.
âThat was pure rumor. I wasnât interested in being a supervisor,â Levi hastily reDlied.
Though being a supervisor was a lucrative position, it undoubtedly came with high risks, and Levi, lacking any significant background, couldnât aspire to it even after becoming a Third-Circle Pharmacist.
âBy the way, once our service in Riptide City was done and the war was over, what were your plans?â Tommen asked.
âI wanted to go back to Area 9. Now that I was a Second-Circle Wizard and pharmacist, I should have been able to improve my familyâs situation. The pressure in Riptide City was too much. Iâd rather have been a big fish in a small pond,â Grimm said.
Grimmâs ambitions had always been like this, constantly worrying about his small, rundown family. To Levi, it was somewhat hard to comprehend.
In his view, Grimmâs approach hindered his own cultivation. But as they said, each person had their own ambitions.
âWhat about you, Levi?â Tommen asked.
âI⊠I want to continue staying in Riptide City. My original organization is gone, and thereâs no need to go back. Iâd rather be a freelance cultivator here in
Riptide City. Although itâs stressful, there are many opportunities,â Levi said.
âAh, thatâs easy for you to say. Without any background, who can establish themselves in Riptide City? Even if you manage to establish yourself, youâll be scraping by in the Lower Riptide or Middle Riptide. Always at the mercy of the lords from Upper Riptide, itâs a tough life. I plan to go back to my family; I canât even afford a house in Upper Riptide after a lifetime of workâŠâ Tommen sighed.
Levi thought, âWhatâs wrong with you two? The war isnât over yet, and youâre already planning your future here.â He quickly stopped the conversation.
âBy the way, Levi, I have a friend who discovered a small ancient wizard relic, probably belonging to an intermediate level wizard organization. There might be some treasures inside. Do you want to join us? Grimm has already decided to go,â Tommen asked.
Without hesitation, Levi replied, âForget it. Itâs risky, and Iâd rather focus on pharmacy. Although it earns less, at least itâs safer.â
âYou⊠with such talent, why are you being so conservative? Wealth and prosperity come with risks. Without taking a chance, how will you advance to the third circle?â Tommen said helplessly.
However, Levi was determined not to go. Not only did he refuse, but he also advised, âYou two better think carefully. In an intermediate level ancient wizard relic, with your current strength, do you have a guarantee of obtaining treasures? Do you have a guarantee of ensuring your own safety? Have you thought about these things carefully?â
Tommen and Grimm were among Leviâs few friends in Riptide City, which was why he bothered to advise them. If it were someone unfamiliar, he wouldnât have wasted his breath.
âIt should be fine. In our team, thereâs a second-circle array wizard. With him, the arrays and restrictions in the ancient wizard relic can be easily broken.
Everything else will be manageable,â Tommen thought for a moment and said.
âAlright, Iâm a bit timid. I wonât go,â Levi shook his head.
âWell, maybe youâre right. Why take such risks?â Grimm seemed to be swayed.
After completing a task at the Tower of Pharmacists, Levi looked at Huffman, who was satisfied with his performance, and said, âHow about the Dragon Tea party? What do you think?â
With an apologetic expression, Levi said, âI might disappoint you, my Lord. After some consideration, Iâve decided not to join for now. Please convey my apologies to Lady Blue Dragon.â
âItâs okay. Lady Blue Dragon only sent an invitation. Whether you join or not is up to you,â Huffman said calmly.
Levi sincerely thanked them, âThank you for your understanding..â
