Chapter 575: Chapter 553: Legendary Dragon Hunter (2)

They watched the black-robed man’s assassination attempt on Li Wei and Saint Xi play out on the Magic Light Curtain before them.

Five hundred meters in the air, an invisible Surveillance Demon Eye was focused on the spot where Li Wei had "died."

Saint Xi asked, "How long until he realizes I’m a fake?"

Li Wei replied, "If he doesn’t plan on killing you, he probably won’t find out you’re a fake until he takes you back with him."

"I hope so," Saint Xi said. "Then we can take them all out at once and stop having people scheme against us from the shadows."

Li Wei could sense the direction the black-robed man was taking the Illusory Body.

The black-robed man seemed to possess some kind of extremely powerful concealment ability.

This ability could interfere with Li Wei’s connection to his Illusory Body.

From time to time, Li Wei would lose his sense of the Illusory Body.

But it didn’t matter. The enemy had already taken a Spatial Ring from him.

Inside the Spatial Ring was a gift Li Wei had prepared for him.

’I hope he’ll be satisfied with it.’

After confirming the enemy was truly gone, Li Wei and Saint Xi emerged from the Magic Mini World.

The two of them continued on toward the Endless Sea.

Li Wei said, "We only managed to escape this time thanks to your Sensing Ability. Otherwise, given the black-robed man’s caution, even if I had undergone Nirvana Rebirth after the first attack, I likely would have run into him when he returned after I revived. The outcome would have been uncertain."

The black-robed man had been able to get close and launch a sneak attack without Li Wei detecting him at all.

This proved there was an enormous gap in their strength.

Saint Xi said, "That person must be a Dragon Hunter, an extremely rare type of Extraordinary Professional among humans who specializes in hunting Giant Dragons."

"I sensed the resentment of a Death Giant Dragon on him."

"The stinger he used on me at the end looked like one from a Wind Poison Dragon. It was coated in a venom so potent that even a Giant Dragon would find it hard to resist."

Hearing this, a thought struck Li Wei.

’A Dragon Hunter? The stinger of a Wind Poison Dragon?’

’Could he be the one who killed the Wind Poison Dragon in the Poison Dragon Cave?’

Saint Xi said, "It’s possible."

"If that’s the case, then his identity should be easy to confirm."

A flicker of light crossed Li Wei’s eyes.

The Poison Dragon Cave was a Death Forbidden Zone formed after the death of a Wind Poison Dragon, when its venomous Dragon Blood contaminated the land.

The hunt for the Wind Poison Dragon had been a massive operation.

The Human Empire most likely had records of it.

Li Wei had been to the Poison Dragon Cave and had heard some of the related legends.

This meant it wasn’t a top-secret event; with a little effort, he should be able to find information on it.

「Maple City Mage Tower.」

On the Sixth Floor of the Mage Tower, Li Wei’s Illusory Body, who was standing guard, opened its eyes.

It had received a command from its original body: to search for any incidents related to the Human Empire’s hunt for the Wind Poison Dragon.

And to determine the identities of the participants.

Currently, Li Wei’s Illusory Body was operating under the name "Torresta."

It had announced that it had become a Tier Six Great Mage.

Now, no one dared to offend the Maple City Mage Tower anymore.

Those who had left the Mage Tower were filled with immense regret.

Some wanted to return, but Li Wei, in Torresta’s name, refused them.

Although only a handful of members remained in the Mage Tower, they were able to enjoy all of the tower’s resources.

They were the envy of all outsiders.

Otz of the Beixuan Kingdom, the dean of the newly established Magic Academy, could only turn a blind eye when faced with the powerful Tier Six Great Mage, Torresta.

He didn’t try to get close and curry favor, nor did he continue to target the Mage Tower.

In any case, the Mage Tower already existed in name only.

With only a few small fries left, it wouldn’t amount to anything.

As a neutral organization, the Mage Association had not gotten involved in the competition between the Magic Academy and the Mage Tower.

Today, upon learning that Torresta wished to see the President of the Mage Association, the President immediately postponed his other appointments to meet privately with the esteemed Tier Six Great Mage.

With the development of the Beixuan Kingdom, the presidency of the Mage Association had also changed hands.

The previous President of the Mage Association had been a Tier Four Professional Level.

The newly appointed President of the Mage Association was a Tier Five High Level.

Faced with the visiting Tier Six Great Mage, the President showed him the utmost respect.

When he heard that Torresta wanted to use the Mage Association’s library to investigate something, the President, after a brief inquiry, immediately granted him access.

"My apologies, Lord Torresta. This is the highest level of access this branch of the Mage Association can grant."

The President saw Torresta out, feeling apologetic for not being of more help.

Even if the Giant Dragon hunts weren’t top-secret information, only a select few Within the Empire knew about them.

Coming up empty-handed, Li Wei wasn’t too disappointed. After thanking the President of the Mage Association for his help, he began looking for other channels to obtain the information.

Li Wei received the feedback from his Illusory Body but didn’t feel too anxious.

He had the Illusory Body do its best to find any news related to that person.

If it really couldn’t find anything, then there was nothing to be done about it.

Li Wei and Saint Xi were flying at an altitude of ten thousand meters.

The whistling, frigid wind was blocked by a Magic Shield.

The Magic Shield maintained a constant temperature, preventing ice from forming on its outer surface and obscuring their vision.

Li Wei glanced at the dazzling Sun in the distance and estimated the time.

"It’s almost time," he said.

After the enemy took Li Wei’s Spatial Ring, even if he didn’t proactively try to erase the Spiritual Brand inside and trigger the gift’s switch, the gift inside the Spatial Ring was set to activate on a timer.

The black-robed man was walking down a road.

Suddenly, an incredibly intense Magic Fluctuation erupted from his person.

The black-robed man froze, his reflexes instantly locating the source of the Magic Fluctuation.

It was the Spatial Ring he had looted from Li Wei’s corpse.

The black-robed man had planned to take it back, find someone to erase the Spiritual Brand within the Spatial Ring, and see what goodies were inside.

A Spatial Ring from a Tier Six Great Mage had to be worth something, no matter what.

An extremely violent Elemental Fluctuation suddenly burst from within the Spatial Ring.

This left the black-robed man dumbfounded.

However, he also recognized the danger in that same instant.

Without hesitation, he threw the Spatial Ring away.

KABOOM!

The Spatial Ring shattered, and a Super Fireball a thousand meters in diameter devoured everything around it.

It was the gift Li Wei had specially prepared for him.

He had packed a Sun inside the Spatial Ring.

The black-robed man stood in the distance, expressionlessly watching the massive fireball slowly dissipate.

Half of his body was charred black.

The black robe that had enveloped his body had long since vanished in the flames.

The figure of the Legendary Dragon Hunter was exposed under the sunlight.

His eyes were red, vertical-slitted pupils, and his body was covered in dark red Dragon Scales.

A Legendary Dragon Hunter, and at the same time, a Dragon Blood Warrior.

Or rather, he had once been a Dragon Blood Warrior.

After breaking through to the Legendary Level, he had changed his profession to Dragon Hunter.

He had gained Extraordinary Traits and Rule Abilities that allowed him to inflict extra damage on Giant Dragons.

Dragon Hunters also possessed a very powerful Legendary Ability.

They could become stronger by hunting Giant Dragons and seizing their abilities.

Hunting Giant Dragons was the way Legendary Dragon Hunters improved their strength.

Dragon Hunters were destined to be enemies of Giant Dragons for their entire lives.

Relying on the immense Magic Resistance derived from Giant Dragons, the Dragon Hunter survived Li Wei’s "Sun" gift.

In that moment, he realized Li Wei was still alive.

Saint Xi’s figure had disappeared.

The Illusory Body couldn’t withstand the force of the explosion.

This also made the Dragon Hunter realize he had been deceived.

The Dragon Hunter turned his head to look into the distance, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

"Interesting. The hunt... is only just beginning."

"It seems I underestimated you. Next time, I will give it my all... to hunt!"

The charred skin on the Dragon Hunter’s body slowly peeled off, revealing a layer of fresh, new skin.

Beneath the skin, a new layer of Dragon Scales slowly grew.

This, too, was a powerful regenerative ability from a Giant Dragon.

A High Tier Legendary Dragon Hunter was a Legend in and of himself.

A long-forgotten excitement surged through him.

He had a premonition that if this hunt was successful, his strength would reach a whole new level.

He would ascend to the pinnacle of the Legend rank.

"What gift?" Saint Xi asked curiously.

Li Wei chuckled and said, "Nothing much. Just a small Fireball."

"If he’s not dead, I hope he knows when to back off and stops bothering us."

The two of them flew toward the coastline of the Celestial Vault Continent.

Wherever they passed, Flying Magical Beasts fled in haste.

To avoid any trouble, Li Wei and Saint Xi didn’t stop again.

After flying nonstop for two days, they arrived at Hanhai City, on the southernmost tip of the Celestial Vault Continent.

From here, they would enter the Endless Sea to search for the third Divine Fragment.
