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..
