Chapter 399: Level-10 Wizard

Before the fusion, Lei En examined the Bimon Giant Beast's demon soul.

Its radiation wave frequency didn't match his own soul wave frequency, but the gap was small, at an average level. Normally such a frequency difference would cause conflict, but this was the first fusion after Soul Transformation, and with a Soul Fusion Seed as a medium to mediate, there would be no problem.

Immediately, he extracted the demon soul from the soul stone and let it enter his mind.

The World Tree within his soul reacted at once.

The Bimon Giant Beast's demon soul appeared beneath the tree roots and began its ascent.

Now that Lei En is legendary, the World Tree is worlds apart from before; it easily subdued the powerful Bimon Giant Beast, and after several soul power tremors, the soul obediently flowed upward along the trunk.

In less than ten minutes, the demon soul reached the treetop, and the soul's power merged into the tree's body.

A brand‑new branch sprouted at the highest point, ten leaves budded and grew at a visible speed, each leaf bearing its own rune that glittered within the soul.

Level‑8 Power, Steel Body, Bimon Claw, Frenzy…

During this process, the World Tree absorbed a new legendary demon soul, rose another tier, and the entire spiritual space glowed brighter with a more solid structure.

The instant the demon soul completed fusion, Lei En already had several Elements change.

His Steel Body, already at Level‑3, had leapt forward when he ascended to legendary; now, combined with the Bimon Giant Beast's Level‑2 Steel Body, it finally surged to Level‑4.

Lei En was even more delighted that his power also increased!

His Level‑9 Power, dormant for a long time, had previously poured countless soul power like an unfillable bottomless pit; during Soul Transformation the progress bar moved a bit, and with the Bimon Giant Beast's Level‑8 Power, it finally broke through to Level‑10!

Level‑10 Power!

Lei En took a deep breath, recalling last year's battle with the Legendary High-rank Death Knight named Elon*Rivennat, whose Level‑10 Power exerted a terrifying pressure; after drinking a Titan Power Elixir and adding five or six amplification buffs, he finally suppressed him in raw power.

He had thought Level‑10 Power was unattainable, yet now he had achieved it!

Lei En opened his eyes in the meditation chamber and stood up.

He carefully sensed his power; at a glance his appearance hadn't changed much. After the Steel Body rose to Level‑4, his skin tone lightened a bit, looking almost like an ordinary person, with muscles still robust and proportionate, not exaggerated.

However, anyone with keen eyes would notice his skin unusually smooth, pores so fine they were almost gone, wrinkles barely visible, as if covered by a metallic film.

Beneath this barely perceptible film, his muscles and bones harbored unimaginable terrifying force.

Lei En lightly clenched his fist, producing a Bang— sound.

The air inside the fist burst, forming a pale, light‑colored wave that spread outward; the vast meditation chamber trembled as if a grenade had exploded.

Such astonishing power even startled Lei En himself.

"Level‑10 Wizard, Level‑10 Power!"

He sighed with a hint of pride, "My mind runs on Crystal Core Control, my body feels forged of steel; I'm becoming less human."

The fusion with the Bimon Giant Beast's demon soul yielded far more than this.

Lei En let out a low growl, a wild thought sprouting in his mind; his eyes reddened, his body swelled rapidly, arms and legs thickening twice, his height jumping from near 1.9 m to over 2 m, nearly tearing his fitted light armor, as if boundless power erupted within.

"Level‑5 Frenzy!"

He exhaled scorching blood vapor, observing his condition, and was somewhat astonished.

Frenzy is a rare Element; each level adds half the base power, capped at Level‑5, which can boost one's strength by two and a half times.

The higher the level, the larger the form after Frenzy.

Lei En previously drank the "Frenzy Beast Blood Elixir" to enter Frenzy, equivalent to a Level‑2 Frenzy effect; he had assumed Level‑5 Frenzy would swell his body beyond 2.2 m, similar to an Extreme Warrior.

In reality, he only grew a little over two meters, far short of expectations.

Lei En thought for a moment, "It must be due to the Level‑4 Steel Body; its rigid structure doesn't allow the easy expansion of a berserker."

Moreover, he found he wasn't overtaken by the wild thoughts that Frenzy usually brings.

His mind remained crystal clear; the reddened eyes quickly cleared, his gaze calm and rational—clearly the effect of Truth Will.

Nevertheless, the amplification of Level‑5 Frenzy was unchanged.

Power increased by two and a half times!

Lei En stood before the floor‑to‑ceiling mirror in the meditation chamber, noting his physique only a bit bulkier, muscles defined in distinct blocks, his whole body tingling as if endless power surged within.

"After Frenzy it's still Level‑10 Power?"

He muttered, raised his hand to cast Dragon Power Technique on himself, and battle music blared; three amplification layers stacked, power surged over fivefold, his form becoming a shrunken humanoid beast, yet his power remained Level‑10, still a fair distance from Level‑11.

"That's it?"

Lei En was greatly surprised; the difficulty of upgrading after reaching Level‑10 truly far exceeded his expectations.

As far as he knew, power must reach Level‑12 to advance to a Legendary Element; the higher the base Element climbs, the harder it gets—this is just too hard!

He shook his head and sighed for a moment; Lei En's shoulders twitched, and his five fingers instantly elongated and reshaped into massive claws.

Ten fingers, ten sharp claws.

Each claw curved, over forty centimeters long, the massive claws somewhat disproportionate to his size; the backs were thick, the blades unmatched in sharpness, the tips glinting a chilling glare.

Lei En lifted his claws to clash, ringing with a metallic clang, spraying a spray of sparks.

He glanced around, found no suitable target, and lightly slashed his left forearm with his right claw, instantly leaving several white marks.

"Sss…"

Lei En was a bit shocked; he possessed a Level‑4 Steel Body plus a Level‑5 True Dragon Body, standing still would let Legendary Iron Guard attacks pass without injury, yet his claws still left marks.

That required little force; a full‑strength slash would surely cut bone.

"Damn, these claws are too sharp!"

A pang of fear rose in Lei En; fortunately when hunting the Bimon Giant Beast he hadn't engaged it head‑on—a single claw wound would have been unbearable.

The strongest spear still outshines the strongest shield.

The Bimon Claw Element is currently Level‑3 and can be upgraded further, with stronger attack and a demon‑breaking effect; the caster's shield would likely be pierced in one strike.

Its only drawback is attack range—it must get close to the enemy.

But that is already terrifying enough.

Lei En casually pulled a steel ingot from his ring, witnessing what it means to cut iron like mud; even hardened refined gold and meteorite iron, with just thirty percent of his power, could be sliced.

Under the boost of Level‑10 Strength, he didn't know that nothing in the world could resist his claws.

The demonic soul of the Bimon Giant Beast also contains other Elements.

Level‑3 Shockwave, Level‑4 Sky‑leap, Level‑5 Piercing Roar are all decent abilities, but they're inconvenient to test in the Meditation Chamber, especially Sky‑leap—one jump would smash through the roof and fly into the sky, so Lei En did not use them.

The information on the phone interface also refreshed.

Merging with the Bimon Giant Beast raised the energy by twenty‑seven units, reaching 37%, taking a big step toward Level‑11 Wizard.

When the soul state fully stabilized, Lei En only then left the Meditation Chamber.

"Boss!"

Outside the Meditation Chamber's door stood a dozen Extreme Warriors.

Everyone turned their heads together, their faces excited; as Lei En's symbionts, each time Lei En's physical condition improves, the Extreme Warriors receive corresponding enhancements.

Previously the boost was small, not very strong.

But this time Lei En ascended to Legend, his power surged, the increase was huge; all Extreme Warriors, no matter what they were doing—training, on guard, shooting drills, resting, even sleeping—sensed the change in the original body, their own strength and defense wildly increasing.

The five squads of Extreme Warriors total sixty people; the five squad leaders are Legendary Warriors, followed by five instructors per squad, who each received soul‑energy infusion in the battle of Astat, already at Level‑9 Peak.

The wave of original‑body symbiosis enhancement made the instructors directly surge to Legend!

At this point, Lei En's command already has ten Legendary Warriors.

The remaining Extreme Warriors also all reached Level‑9 Peak, just one step away from Legend. With Lei En's current strength, future newly recruited symbionts and newly joined Extreme Warriors can directly reach Level‑9 Peak, saving countless arduous trainings.

However, after Extreme Warriors ascend to Legend, further advancement becomes difficult.

The five squad leaders receive little further strengthening.

Lei En pacified the Extreme Warriors with a few words, saying, "Brothers, disperse now, remember to intensify training, adapt to your power; a brand‑new battle will arrive soon."

"Yes, boss!" the Extreme Warriors responded in unison.

Opening a random door, Lei En stepped through and appeared on a spacious balcony on the second floor of the castle.

Two giant dragons were half‑reclining on lounge chairs, enjoying the servants' service, aged fine wine, freshly picked fruit, and exquisite delicious snacks, making them look content, a rare harmonious coexistence.

The steward Fabian was adept at reading hearts; although he could not discern that these two distinguished guests were actually dragons, with just a few words he easily bridged the relationship.

When Lei En emerged, Fabian was arranging their tour schedule in Mo Du.

Both dragons wanted to witness the splendor of the Trade Capital, nodding repeatedly, showing great interest, then turned to see Lei En exit the random door.

"Lei En."

"Your Excellency, Count."

"Lord."

Three different titles sounded at once; Lei En nodded, looked up at the sky—it was still early, he could soon go to Longshande, so he said, "Come with me to Fu Kong Cheng and settle the matter."

Speaking, he took out the Weizelan badge, opened a teleportation gate, and entered first.

The two dragons exchanged a glance; they had never been to the floating city of Ai Lun E Si that Weizelan shakes, feeling a bit uneasy, they rose and followed into the teleportation gate.

Please give me a few tickets, recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, a few each, thanks!
