Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

While Neil Bella and the others were making wild guesses, Xia Jian had already quietly sneaked up behind a group of wizards using his top-notch concealment technique.

These days, finding resources yourself is nowhere near as fast as snatching them.

When Xia Jian learned that the first-tier wizards were only responsible for the outer perimeter search, he had already made up his mind to take back the resources that Mu Shuang had snatched from him.

As for black wizards and white wizards, what business is it of theirs?

Black wizards are not necessarily bad, and white wizards are not necessarily good; they are simply different in their perspectives.

Compared to dark wizards who prefer violence, many white wizards are more cunning and treacherous; otherwise, they wouldn't have broken their previous agreement this time.

To put it bluntly, as long as the money is there, and it involves their own interests, it's not hard to understand why people would turn from black to white and from white to black.

Since that's the case, not seizing it would be aiding the enemy, so Xia Jian naturally couldn't let go of this golden opportunity.

Anyway, if something goes wrong, the tall guy will take the blame. It's not like he said he wanted to steal from others; it was all Heramons who said it.

Besides, he was just a little guy in the early stage of a first-tier wizard. What qualifications did he have to snatch food from someone else's mouth? He would never suspect Bro even if he suspected himself.

…………

Xia Jian slowly released his spiritual power and quickly sensed that the opponent had three early-stage Tier 1 opponents, two mid-stage opponents, and one late-stage opponent.

There were no suspicious individuals, so it's likely that these forces shared the same plan: to have first-tier wizards search the outskirts of the ruins.

Xia Jian did not act rashly, but quietly followed behind the group of wizards.

It's still early, and everyone has just arrived. If a battle breaks out, it could easily attract the attention of other factions.

If this group were to act together, even with his strength, he would find it difficult to deal with them alone.

…………

Thanks to his superb ability to conceal his breath, no one discovered Xia Jian hiding in the mist.

After waiting for about an hour, Xia Jian slowly pulled a dark green wooden sword from his spatial bag.

As a wizard who relies on basic swordsmanship, the knight's sword had been severely damaged in previous battles.

The wooden sword in his hand was not actually a sword, but a material called Qinggangmu.

Because of its hard texture and strong elemental conductivity, it has a wide range of uses, from magical artifacts used by wizards to array formations.

The piece of green steel wood in Xia Jian's hand was taken from the medicinal garden of the Arctic Sirius Palace.

One of the materials used to build a barrier to prevent thieves was simply polished into a usable longsword.

At this moment, a wizard spotted a herb and walked towards Xia Jian with a look of surprise.

Little did they know, this herb was placed here by Xia Jian, since the Linya Relics would not produce such a rare medicinal herb as Wudingcao.

As the wizard approached the Unstable Grass and looked at the turned soil beneath it, he quickly realized what was happening.

But at that moment, Xia Jian had already quietly crept up behind the wizard.

At such close range, the wizard's extraordinary senses detected Xia Jian's presence.

Just as he turned around to see who it was, Xia Jian's longsword, carrying an unstoppable force, pierced through his head.

At this point, a Tier 1 early-stage wizard has logged off.

Xia Jian acted swiftly, and after dealing with the wizard, he immediately dragged his corpse into the mist, taking his own Unstable Grass with him.

Xia Jian then used this method to ambush another mid-tier first-order wizard.

However, the ambush was not as successful as expected, as the elemental fluctuations caused by the opponent's defensive spells were detected by the other wizards.

As meticulous wizards, the remaining members quickly realized that someone was ambushing them, so they began to work together to give Xia Jian no chance to launch a sneak attack.

Xia Jian looked at the late-stage first-tier wizard in the mist.

Although he was not afraid of his opponent, there were other wizards around, which would be very disadvantageous for him if a fight broke out.

After all, his only advantage was in mental strength, but he knew very few spells, and they were all the lowest-level apprentice-level witchcraft.

Without solid swordsmanship skills, let alone ambushing others, you'd be lucky if you weren't chased and hacked down.

Just as Xia Jian was pondering, she suddenly felt elemental fluctuations around her.

Realizing he had been discovered, Xia Jian quickly retreated into the mist.

However, at that moment a golden chain shot out from the mist and bound Xia Jian's left arm.

Just as Xia Jian was about to cut the chains, three more chains reached out from three other directions, accompanied by several silver-blue fireballs.

Bang bang bang...

A series of explosions rang out, and Xia Jian's figure was engulfed in flames.

"Is he/she dead?"

At this moment, four wizards came to Xia Jian's side.

The late-stage first-tier wizard frowned, sensing the elemental fluctuations around him. He knew that the person who had ambushed them was not dead.

As the smoke and dust dissipated, a figure shrouded in gray mist appeared.

Xia Jian was surrounded by gray mist, which condensed under the influence of his spiritual power, transforming into a humanoid gray shadow wearing a black hooded robe.

With the blessing of the Dark Demon Soul, Xia Jian did not suffer much real damage.

The only troublesome thing was the chains binding his limbs; their hard texture made it impossible for Xia Jian to break free for a while.

"You're from Yinmo Valley!"

Upon seeing the defensive spell Xia Jian cast, the late-stage first-tier wizard's expression immediately darkened.

Dark Demon Soul Possession is one of the signature spells of Yin Demon Valley, but because dark-type talents are relatively rare, not many people are able to learn this spell.

They had previously agreed with Yinmo Valley that they would not interfere with each other and would each go about their own business. They never expected that Yinmo Valley would secretly send people to ambush them!

"Hehehe, you guys found out a little late."

A strange laugh came from Natsuma's mouth.

Upon seeing this, the late-stage first-tier wizard felt a bad premonition and immediately shouted to the others, "Kill him!"

Four wizards began casting spells, preparing to destroy the bound Natsumi on the spot.

At this moment, blood mist began to emerge from Xia Jian's body, but due to the Dark Demon Soul Possession spell, the emerging blood mist was firmly bound inside the Gray Shadow Cloak.

As Xia Jian's spiritual power burned, the gray shadow combined with blood energy, resembling a dark red cloak draped over his body.

In an instant, a powerful force erupted from Xia Jian's body.

At this moment, the four wizards had completed their spells, and various spells were launched towards Xia Jian.

The dark red phantom slowly extended its arm, forming a black oval shield around Xia Jian.

Bang bang bang...

Explosions rang out again in succession.

Sensing the elemental fluctuations emanating from the smoke and dust, the four wizards couldn't help but frown.

They didn't die!

Although the Dark Demon Soul Infusion spell is a defensive spell, its function is not limited to defense; it also has an offensive effect. This makes the defensive effect of Dark Demon Soul Infusion less effective than those spells specifically designed for defense.
