Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

The crow exploded violently the moment it touched the wooden giant, the terrifying force of which tore the wooden giant to pieces.

Upon seeing this, the hunchbacked old man hiding behind the wooden giant quickly took out a black coin.

The black coin flew to the hunchbacked old man and rapidly grew larger under the influence of magic.

At this moment, the crow had already arrived in front of the hunchbacked old man.

Explosions rang out again, and the black coins cracked from the impact. The hunchbacked old man's eyes showed a look of heartache.

While everyone was focused on the battle, unbeknownst to them, two crows had quietly left the scene.

Stop.

Just as Xia Jian was about to continue his attack, the seemingly third-tier wizard spoke up.

A terrifying mental pressure spread out, and the first-tier wizards in the arena felt immense pressure. The other second-tier wizards also looked at the wizard who appeared to be third-tier with wary expressions.

Xia Jian did not continue his attack, but instead gave the hunchbacked old man the middle finger.

"you!"

The hunchbacked old man was furious, but he was firmly locked onto by the mental power of a wizard who appeared to be at the third level. In the end, he could only glare at Xia Jian resentfully.

Xia Jian's mouth opened slightly, and he silently uttered two words: "Lung fog."

"That's enough!"

The third-tier wizard frowned as he looked at Xia Jian.

This kid is such a troublemaker! He even started a fight without any verbal contact, and now he keeps making provocative gestures.

If this kid weren't so young and unsure of Xia Jian's true strength, he would have already taken action to suppress him.

Seeing Xia Jian turn his head away, the third-tier wizard immediately spoke up: "The ruins are below, but to avoid unnecessary casualties, let's discuss how to distribute them."

After the third-tier wizard finished speaking, the group of wizards started chattering amongst themselves.

Undoubtedly, third-tier wizards will take the lion's share, with a portion of the remainder going to second-tier wizards, and only the first-tier wizards will get a small share at the very end.

The weaker, more numerous first-tier wizards naturally refused.

On average, each person doesn't get much, which is unfair to them.

Even if they banded together for mutual support, they were lucky if they could defeat a second-tier wizard, but that didn't stop them from continuing to discuss the distribution of resources.

The second-tier wizard, of course, wouldn't tolerate this group; the mental pressure he exuded alone silenced many of them.

However, the second-tier wizard was also very unhappy about the allocation issue.

After all, the ruins weren't discovered by a third-tier wizard, but the third-tier wizard took the lion's share. Being a tier higher in strength makes you seem awesome.

Of course, it's really awesome; one of them could easily take on four or five second-tier wizards.

While everyone was discussing, Xia Jian was already lost in thought, but then he frowned.

There's a problem with this place!

"What are you all babbling about? How about we do it my way? We'll all take care of him together, then divide his share equally. What do you all think?"

Xia Jian suddenly pointed at the masked wizard who appeared to be a third-tier wizard and said.

For a moment, the arena fell silent, and all the wizards looked at Xia Jian with astonishment.

What is this guy talking about? Is he crazy?

The power of a third-tier wizard is undeniable; all the wizards in the arena combined might not be able to defeat him, which is tantamount to suicide.

"Hehe, it's been a long time since I've met such an interesting person."

Even the masked wizard was amused by Xia Jian.

"Is it that funny?"

Xia Jian shrugged, and before the masked wizard could speak, he continued, "I've seen quite a few third-tier wizards, but your aura is unstable. You must be injured, right?"

This is probably why the other party was able to calmly discuss the allocation here.

Upon hearing this, all the wizards couldn't help but look at the masked wizard.

If this is true, then the group is not without a fighting chance.

However, someone is bound to die, so the question becomes who will be the first to go up.

"Good observation skills, but are you sure you want to take action?"

The masked wizard crossed his arms and smiled knowingly, seemingly unfazed by the possibility of a fight.

Upon hearing this, the wizards' restless hearts gradually calmed down.

Think about it carefully and you'll understand. Even if they could win, so what? If the other side is determined to escape, they simply can't stop them.

If they offend a third-tier wizard, their days are probably numbered.

"Haha, I was just kidding, just trying to lighten the mood."

Xia Jianqian chuckled twice: "I'm not feeling well today, so I won't be participating in today's activities. I look forward to working with everyone again next time."

After saying that, Xia Jian turned and retreated without looking back.

"You think you can just leave already?"

Suddenly, an immense pressure descended upon Xia Jian.

A fierce glint flashed in Xia Jian's eyes as he said with an unfriendly expression, "Are you sure you want to stop me? I suppose if I can stop you, they won't mind taking action."

Xia Jian is no longer the novice wizard she once was.

The opponent's strength had not yet reached the overwhelming level of the fourth rank, let alone that he was injured. If Xia Jian had not already noticed the abnormality of this place, he would have already taken action against this troublesome guy.

Hearing Xia Jian's confident tone, the third-tier wizard hesitated.

Because he couldn't figure out the other party's background. He was young and might be a disciple of a powerful force, possibly carrying some unknown weapon.

As the mental pressure emanating from Xia Jian gradually dissipated, Xia Jian knew that the other party had given in.

Since that's the case, Xia Jian didn't make any threats. Instead, he transformed into a black shadow and fled into the distance.

The wizards looked at each other, completely bewildered.

However, after Xia Jian was removed, the third-tier masked wizard distributed Xia Jian's share to others.

This excited the wizards, who quickly forgot about Xia Jian's affairs.

…………

After circling the town and confirming that Leia and the others had left, Xia Jian immediately left the town.

The reason he didn't stay to fight was because he had deliberately provoked a fight beforehand, then used the Fog Concealment spell to confuse the wizards, allowing the crows created by the Floating Nightingale spell to leave and search for the entrance to the ruins.

The entrance was indeed found, but there were only some scattered low-level herbs inside.

Because of the limited distance, the spiritual connection with the crow is unstable.

Summer wasn't sure if there were any soul-related herbs, but she did discover a problem.

The ruins are at most the size of a manor, and there are no traces of any formations, so they don't look like a place where precious medicinal herbs would be grown.

Sensing that something was amiss, Xia Jian abandoned his search for soul-type herbs and left.

His soul is currently damaged, and in his current state, it is not suitable for him to compete with a third-tier wizard for soul-type herbs.

Even if one were to activate the Soul Absorption Forbidden Technique, one would still have to pay a heavy price. Putting aside whether one could win or not, there was a possibility that someone else would steal one's advantage.

Anyway, since something feels wrong, leaving is the safest option.
