[Simulation Year 5, You Are 22 Years Old]

[Aoka Kingdom, White Crow Tower, Summer]

[It has been two years since you left Crawfield. With your outstanding talent and a certain amount of financial resources, you have become well-known in the Wizard Tower.]

[The White Crow Tower invites you]

[I want you to become a formal member of the tower]

[You rejected this invitation. The current tower master expressed regret. If you need it, he will open the tower's arms to you at any time.]

[Meditation on the soul, clearing the dead, practicing rituals]

[Your life is dull and boring, just like the ascetic monk in the legend, working hard and not swayed by fun]

[Someone tried to make friends with you and sent you a pretty elf]

[You shiver five times for no apparent reason, and feel a strange chill running down your back.]

[You rejected the advances of others, saying that you were devoted to cultivation and didn't want to be distracted by toys]

[Ten days later, you heard a strange news]

[The wizard who sent the elves to you has had particularly bad luck recently. First, he was besieged by high-level undead, and then he was chased by dragons.]

You sympathize with this

…

[Simulation Year 5, Summer Turns to Autumn]

[Due to the erosion of the underworld, the seasonal changes in the wizarding world are not obvious, but you can still perceive the subtle changes in the environment.]

[You look out the window, the soul in your body surges and surges, almost uncontrollably]

[You are ready to break through the second ring wizard]

Tower of Crows.

The knights hold metal spears and a glorious white raven banner with a blue background and a white raven, with its wings spread and swooping down.

The light of the black sun is obscured by the clouds of death.

On the streets, the figures of pedestrians are looming, fragmented and blurred, buried in the atmosphere of silence.

Occasionally, some foreigners would appear.

Such as Elf Archer, Orc Swordmaster, Dwarf Warrior, etc.

Those professions, including human knights, are actually the same as wizards, and are all driven by soul power.

It's just that their utilization rate is lower.

If one does not have enough talent to become a wizard, one can only combine combat skills to form an alternative extraordinary attack.

“Life always finds a way.”

"Wizards have their own ways, and non-wizards have their own ways."

"According to the timetable, the Dark Tide will erupt once every ten years next year. By then, the number of undead will increase further."

"With the Four Rings Wizard Tower in place, there is no need to worry about the safety of the Aoka Kingdom."

"Severia's side..."

"It's a remote place with few undead. With her sword skills and enhanced strength, there's nothing to worry about."

Refinement room.

Xu Xi's soul was surging and dissipating. He was observing the outside world while thinking about his future plans.

Lower the brightness and turn on the shielding array.

He is ready to break through to become a second-ring wizard.

"Soul, the bridge connecting life and death." Xu Xi sat in meditation, and a faint but flickering glow appeared in his palm.

It is light and it is fire.

The soul that has reached a certain limit rises up in a fiery manner, showing its surging power.

"What we need to do next is to materialize the power of the soul."

Xu Xi put away his soul fire.

Close your eyes and meditate.

From a wizard's perspective, one can penetrate the deepest part of the body, the invisible soul.

Xu Xi's soul was already engraved with densely packed spell patterns, all of which were the 0-ring and 1-ring witchcraft that he had mastered.

These patterns are the medium by which Xu mobilizes the power of the soul and releases the corresponding rituals.

It is also the controller for adjusting the soul of Xu system.

"Over the years, I have wasted a lot of time learning the knowledge of the White Crow Tower. Otherwise, with the special nature of the Soul Collector, I should have made a breakthrough earlier."

"Now, it's time to reap the fruits."

The technique pattern is adjusted.

The collective chorus is high and vibrating.

Xu Xi's will was like an airtight cage, enveloping his soul in all directions.

The truth of the world that you understand yourself.

The first talent ritual engraved.

With the continuous infusion, the soul officially reached its limit, causing all the ritual patterns to melt and transform.

"Second ring wizard, breaking through immediately."

This moment.

Xu Xi's soul seemed to jump out of his body, jump out of the White Crow Tower, stand in the boundless and vast world, and see more things.

Like an endless shadow of the underworld that blocks out the sky and the sun.

It is an incalculable, layered apocalypse controlled by countless immortal kings.

It's not like wizards in the second ring can see the world.

But the world is so close that even second-ring wizards can easily see it.

call--

There was a strong wind.

Pushing the soul back to the body.

"The soul's materialization is such a simplistic and crude explanation. It actually left the body directly." In the training room, Xu Xi slowly opened his eyes.

The soul surges and the spirit expands.

In the early years, Xu Xi was promoted to a first-level wizard, and the natal magic ritual he engraved for himself also evolved miraculously.

One-ring witchcraft: Life exhaustion.

Changed to: Second Ring Sorcery: Life Withering.

At first glance, this technique sounds like a weapon for the living, but it actually has an effect on the dead as well.

"It strips away life and eats away the soul."

"It's strange. I feel like I'm the villain."

"However... combined with the effect of the Life and Death Intertwined entry, this talent technique seems to be very suitable for studying the field of life and death."

Xu Xi raised his palm, and an invisible force rushed around, stirring up a violent gale.

Some of them are used as experimental materials.

After experiencing this shock, it withered like a flower, curled up into a dry and dead state.

Then continue.

Xu Xi tried other techniques.

Elemental witchcraft, universal witchcraft, shapeshifting witchcraft, curse witchcraft...

Although the spell used was still the same first-ring spell, its power was significantly improved with the blessing of the second-ring wizard's soul.

There are even subtle signs of change.

“I see, that’s how it feels…”

"Except for the increase in supernatural powers."

"As the wizarding system advances, at each new stage, the soul will naturally perceive new truths and see new knowledge."

Xu Xi sighed, and felt that after his soul was promoted, all the knowledge that he could not understand in the past now had answers.

Very comfortable and smooth.

No wonder some wizards would call upon the underworld to descend, presumably to find an opportunity for a breakthrough.

"You have become a second-level wizard. Once you have learned a certain amount of second-level spells and have a combat power comparable to your realm, you can leave the White Crow Tower."

Xu Xi stood up and left the training room.

On his way back to the room, he glanced at the gloomy sky outside. The sun was high in the sky and the light was dim.

Everything was shrouded in a pitch-black shroud of despair.

"A second-ring wizard is the limit of the White Crow Tower."

"This place cannot provide the resources to advance to the third ring, nor does it provide favorable conditions for studying souls. It's time to move on..."
