’Tyr is missing?’

Li Wei was shocked to hear the news.

Leviedan looked disappointed.

He hadn’t gotten much out of Tyr before the man disappeared without a word.

Li Wei only learned of Tyr’s disappearance three days after the fact.

Since the first time he saw Tyr being pulled into a Dream Bubble, Li Wei hadn’t seen him appear in the Dream World for the next few days.

Even when Tyr entered the dream, he likely appeared directly inside a Dream Bubble.

Li Wei tried to find that Dream Bubble, but he had no success.

There were countless Dream Bubbles. Without coordinates, searching for a specific one was like finding a needle in a haystack.

Tyr’s disappearance, however, made Li Wei a little worried.

The tables had turned.

Before, his enemy was out in the open while he remained hidden.

Now, he was exposed while his enemy lurked in the shadows.

Tyr didn’t know that he was the Armored Man, or that the killer’s name was Li Wei.

But as long as Tyr was paying attention to Maple City, Li Wei was at risk of being exposed.

’Looks like I should avoid going out as much as possible for a while.’

For the next few days, Li Wei stayed cooped up in the Mage Tower to focus on his Cultivation.

「September 29th.」

The basic structure of the altar for the Divine Worship Ceremony was complete.

Next, the Mages needed to inscribe a large number of Magic Arrays on the altar.

Although Li Wei didn’t know how to create Magic Arrays, he was called to help guard the altar and prevent it from being damaged during the inscription process.

Martin looked at the crowd with a serious expression.

The number of mages in the Maple City Mage Tower was increasing.

Now, including Apprentice Mages, their number had exceeded one hundred.

This was an incredibly rare and grand occasion.

Standing in the crowd, Li Wei saw many unfamiliar faces.

Martin said, "This time, we have been entrusted by the City Lord’s Mansion to help inscribe Magic Arrays on the altar. The Mage Tower will give its full support."

"The Array Masters will inscribe the Magic Arrays while everyone else guards the altar. During the inscription, no one else is allowed near the altar."

"This is a sign of the City Lord’s Mansion’s trust in us, but it is also a test and a challenge."

"If we do well, the Maple City Mage Tower will become the Beixuan Kingdom’s Mage Tower in the future."

"We share in the glory and the shame. Take this seriously."

The Maple City Mage Tower had a chance to become the Beixuan Kingdom’s Kingdom Level Mage Tower.

This was also the reason why so many had rushed to join.

For an ordinary Mage, joining the Macher Kingdom’s Mage Tower was far more difficult than joining the one in Maple City.

They gambled their futures on Maple City.

With good luck, they could soar to new heights.

Their status would rise with the founding of the Beixuan Kingdom.

Martin assigned tasks to everyone. Li Wei was assigned to protect the southeast corner of the altar.

They were in groups of ten.

Li Wei’s group had one Tier Two Mage, three Tier One Mages, and six Apprentice Mages.

His actual Level was a Tier Two Mage.

But Martin didn’t know that.

Coincidentally, the Tier Two Mage in Li Wei’s group was El.

"Mage Aier."

Li Wei greeted him. After all, El was his nominal captain.

El smiled. "Li Wei, don’t be too nervous. No one would dare attack the altar so brazenly. We just need to stop any saboteurs."

"Mm."

Gu Ze was assigned to another group, responsible for security on the north side of the altar.

Rota became the person in charge of the logistics group.

"Move out!"

At Martin’s command, everyone walked out of the Mage Tower and headed towards Cyan Maple Slope, where the altar was located.

Cyan Maple Slope was to the east of Maple City, bordering the Maple Forest.

As Li Wei walked with the group, a few lines of text appeared in his vision.

...

After a period of hard work, his various Magic skills had progressed rapidly.

Li Wei mainly cultivated Fireball Skill, Invisibility Armor Spell, and Object Control Skill.

His progress in deducing Fire Escape, which was related to these three skills, was also rapid.

After cultivating the three Magic skills to the Tier Two Perfection Level, he encountered some difficulties in deducing them into Tier Three Magic.

Currently, he could only use Fireball Skill and Blast Flame Skill as references, so the deduction process for them was a bit faster.

The progress for Invisibility Armor Spell and Object Control Skill was slow.

When his Fireball Skill reached the Tier Two Perfection Realm, Li Wei naturally mastered most Tier Two Fire Element Magic.

The charging limit for his Fireball also reached five times his own Mana.

Its power became even more terrifying.

However, the increase in power seemed to have hit a bottleneck.

Trying to further enhance the Fireball Skill’s power by simply stacking more Mana was proving ineffective.

Going from one to two times his Mana capacity could multiply the Fireball Skill’s power severalfold.

But going from four times his Mana capacity to five only doubled its power.

Simply relying on Mana accumulation had already reached a critical point.

Li Wei was looking for a new direction for a breakthrough.

The Dragon Flame Extraordinary Trait showed him a new path forward.

’Since I can’t increase the power by stacking quantity, I’ll have to improve the quality.’

The number of stacked layers of Invisible Armor increased from eighteen to twenty-five.

Its Defense Power was further enhanced.

Li Wei’s goal was to be able to withstand a Tier Four Spell head-on.

Or even a Tier Five Magic.

With his Object Control Skill raised to the Realm of Perfection, his flying speed with Fire Escape increased further.

Its stability was enhanced, and its controllability was improved.

Li Wei’s cruising speed increased from 110 meters per second to 220 meters per second.

His top speed had also broken the sound barrier.

Reaching 670 meters per second.

Nearly twice the speed of sound.

Under normal circumstances, no Mage could catch up to Li Wei without using Space Magic.

This was thanks to his body, which had become more robust after being nourished by the Dragon Blood.

His physical fitness improved, and Li Wei’s reaction speed and reflexes also strengthened.

He was able to control greater speed and Power.

After eating the Dragon Blood Fruit, Li Wei’s physique was already equivalent to a Tier One Warrior.

After absorbing the residual Power in the Dragon Blood Pool, his physique was infinitely close to that of a Tier Two Warrior.

The only difference was the lack of an Extraordinary Trait.

After activating Fire Elemental Body, his Power could even crush a Tier Two Warrior.

"We’re here." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Li Wei looked up into the distance.

He saw that a huge Rock Altar had been built at the top of Cyan Maple Slope.

This Rock Altar was a thousand meters wide.

It was immense.

It was divided into three tiers, with the uppermost Rock Altar being only twenty meters wide.

But it was the most crucial part.

That was the place where the Divine Spirit would bestow its blessing.

The Mages had to inscribe Magic Arrays on this huge Rock Altar to stabilize it.

This was to ensure that the altar could withstand the Power of the Divine Spirit’s descent during the Divine Worship Ceremony.

When Li Wei arrived.

The army was driving away the Beastman slaves who had built the altar.
