"It seems that we have to continue our efforts. Li Ji sighed slightly.

From beginning to end, what he practiced was a slashing move, and it was also the one he could think of that would be the most capable of unleashing his full attack power so far.

One skill is far stronger than a hundred skills.

If even the strongest attack can't break through the enemy's defenses, then even if you have countless moves, it's just a fake move, and it won't help at all.

Pragmatic, judging the situation, for Li Ji, only the action of chopping is the most practical and the most able to reduce the time he needs to consume. Because, he needs the power of that blow.

Although the process of improving strength is difficult, it also takes a long time. However, Li Ji can still see hope.

So, he's holding on.

And decided to stick to it all the time.

..........

The Alaris Mountains, which run almost north and south of the continent, divide the continent of Agra in two. It is divided into the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent.

On the continent of Agra, there are four empires and several kingdoms. The power of the empire has not changed for thousands of years. At least nothing has changed in 10,000 years.

The Bright Empire, one of the four great empires, alone occupies most of the territory of the Western Continent from south to north. As for the remaining Elven Forest and the Barren Plateau in the north of the Western Continent, they belong to the Elven Race and the Orc Empire respectively.

All in all, in the Western Continent, there is only one human realm, and that is the Empire of Light. Therefore, the Empire of Light is the most powerful human empire on the continent of Agra.

On the Eastern Continent, from south to north, there were the Tornia Empire, the Lagerian Empire, and the Great Liang Empire.

Between the three empires, there are several kingdoms.

The Alaris Mountains, which cut off the connection between the eastern and western continents, were truncated further north in the Forest of Despair.

The sword that seemed to be like a god slashed down, slashing the Alaris Mountains thousands of meters high, forming a bottomless canyon.

Moreover, under this canyon, there is a hidden flow of magma. Because the thousands of waterfalls that fall straight down from the southern gorge wall are all turned into steam, covering the entire canyon in mist.

For this reason, this canyon is called the Misty Canyon.

However, even though the canyon is more than a kilometer high, as a convenient way to connect the eastern and western continents, it is still artificially opened up a traffic artery on the north gorge wall.

This artery can be opened up thanks to the separation between the two walls of the canyon, which is close to a kilometer. On its walls, the mountains and rocks are stacked, the grass and trees are thick, and there is no shortage of positions 100 meters wide.

And to the east of this canyon, dozens of miles away, on the flat ground, sits a city. A huge and majestic city, it is also the largest city on the continent of Agra, the city of Graac.

This city is so vast that even the capitals of the four empires can hardly match it. It covers thousands of hectares, and there is no kingdom under its jurisdiction. However, it is also only a city, an independent city that does not belong to any empire or kingdom.

The reason why the city of Griaq has been able to preserve its independence among the many kingdoms of Agra is that it has been able to preserve its independence. It all comes down to an academy in its inner city, an academy that is larger than the capital of an ordinary kingdom - the Greyac Academy.

It can be said that the city of Greyac was created by the Greyac Academy.

The Greyac Academy is the oldest, largest, and most powerful academy on the continent of Agra. It is also actually the only college that can teach students up to Level 6.

In fact, in the Agra continent, there is a school that teaches students to the sixth level before graduating, and there is the only academy that belongs to each of the four empires. It's just that, generally speaking, after a student's strength reaches level four or five, he can be regarded as an ordinary powerhouse on the Agra continent, and he can have the strength to survive.

Moreover, from level 4 onwards, the time it takes to progress to each level is measured in years, and it varies from person to person, not just one year or two. Many people are dying, but they are also stagnant due to lack of qualifications.

Therefore, the colleges that the four empires have each opened up to train sixth-level students can actually wait until sixth-level to graduate. More often than not, they have applied for graduation on their own before that.

In the Agra continent, any academy can graduate as long as it reaches level four. This is true even at Greyac College. It's just that not everyone does. For the geniuses, they will bring out their most majestic potential in the academy. Because, after they are forty years old, the rate of improvement will slow down, and even in Gray Academy, forty-year-old students will be forced to graduate. Therefore, the time left for geniuses is doomed, and in order to fully stimulate their potential, for the vast majority of geniuses, they will choose Greyac Academy.

Because, Greyac College is the college with the best faculty. The powerhouses who graduated from it and achieved the Holy Rank accounted for nearly seventy percent of the top powerhouses in the Agra Continent. Moreover, the Greyac Academy is also the most authoritative academy in the fields of alchemy, enchantment, and forging on the continent of Agra. The application of these three on the continent of Agra covers almost all the uses used in people's lives.

Such a terrifying professor's strength has made him enjoy a reputation for thousands of years. The continent of Agra is full of its students, and among the countries, there are top people from their own places who can influence the country's national politics. Let's ask, which empire dares to take the lead in pulling the tiger's whiskers.

Not to mention the strength of the city of Grealac itself.

It encompasses one-third of the strongest human beings on the continent of Agra in a single city. The number of Saint Rank and Soul Rank powerhouses is still more than any of the four major empires.

With such strength, even if the empires coveted it, they didn't dare to move a little.

Moreover, the city of Greyac, for 10,000 years, has only maintained one city.

The area under its jurisdiction seems to be huge, but in fact there are not so many, most of them are countries bordering it, and they automatically blur the edge of the boundary and give way to it. This is also the respect that the city of Greak has received for thousands of years, although it has strong strength, but does not expand arrogantly.

In addition, the city of Greyac also has the largest number of mage towers and magic crystal cannons on the continent of Agra.

The Mage Tower, the product of alchemy, material forging, and enchantment, represents the highest level of performance of the three.

The Mage Tower, which can attack and defend, is a manifestation of a city's defensive strength, and is also the core of a city's counterattack power. However, in order for it to reach the point of sheltering a city, one mage tower is not enough, at least four are needed. And the branches are in all sides of the city, so that the magic barriers between several mage towers can be connected and play a role in protecting the city.

Moreover, the mage towers are of different levels, and their attack power and defense power are also very different, and the range of defense that can be defended is also very different.

Today, on the continent of Agra, the Mage Tower is divided into three levels, namely the Ground Raider Tower, the Sky Tower, and the Tower of Babel. Also, the conditions required to activate each level of the Mage Tower are very different. The Floor Sweeping Tower requires a sixth-level mage to activate, while the Sky Tower and the Tower of Babel require a Saint-level mage, that is, a Dharma Saint, to activate. Moreover, if you want to fully exert the full power of the Tower of Babel, you must have a soul-level magician, the magic soul.

The Tower of Babel, in the entire Agra continent, is currently only the city of Greyac, or only four of the Greyac Academy.

These four only Babel Towers are still inherited from 30,000 years ago when alchemy and enchantment flourished. Now, on the Agra continent, there are no alchemists and enchanters who can build mage towers of this level anymore. Even if it is a tower in the sky, it will take hundreds or even thousands of years and countless generations of efforts to build a complete tower in the sky.

The construction of the Mage Tower requires the cooperation of the Grand Alchemist and the Grand Enchanter, and of course, the Master Craftsman also needs to forge the materials.

On the continent of Agra, there is only one known remaining Great Alchemist and Great Enchanter, and they all teach at the Greyac Academy.

The construction of the Mage Tower originally required the cooperation of many people, but now, the only Great Alchemist and the Great Enchanter were too weak for the progress of building the Mage Tower.

Since the sudden decline of alchemy and enchantment in its heyday 30,000 years ago, most of the important alchemy-related materials have been lost, and the only ones that remain are incomplete. The number and level of Terran alchemists and enchanters are also much lower than before.

Even the only remaining great alchemists and great magicians are still because of the small fragments of information preserved by the Greac Academy, from which they have penetrated and improved, and passed on the two skills of alchemy and enchantment.

However, in the hearts of every aspiring alchemist and enchanter, there is a desire to restore the pomp and circumstance of 30,000 years ago, and not just to make it exist in the annals and legends.

.........

Greak College, Department of Alchemy, inside the Dean's Office.

At this moment, there were two old men with old faces and silver threads on their heads, sitting opposite each other. In the middle is a large desk made of glass.

On the desk, there were piles of papers, some strange utensils, glowing glass ball-like lights, and a blue book-wrapped book in the hand of the old man sitting at the head of the desk.

The book is not big, nor is it small, almost four inches square. There are three words written on it.

If Li Ji was here, he would definitely not recognize what kind of words it was, but he could be sure that he had seen similar words, just like the thick book hidden in the space ring on his hand, which also recorded the heavenly book with words crawling like an earthworm.

This is the common script of the continent of Agra, just like the lingua franca, the two correspond. What the old man was holding in his hand was a letter of dismissal.

Being able to teach at Greyac Academy is a dream for countless people, especially the strong people who have decided to take care of themselves.

Not only is the treatment here the best, but the kind of honor that can be enjoyed in his position is unmatched by any college.

In the history of Greyac College, letters of dismissal are not common, but they are not uncommon. It's just that most of them are proposed by the mentors themselves for some reason.

And at this moment, the letter of dismissal in the hand of the head of the alchemy department was proposed by the academy. There are not a few cases of this in the history of Greyac.

The mentor who was about to be dismissed was the fifth-level alchemist sitting opposite the head of the department, Tang Gidney.

"I warned you a long time ago that the Academy would not sit idly by while you did this. But you... Alas, you just don't listen. Department Chief Howard said with hatred on his face.

"But I don't think I've done anything wrong. Tang Gideni leaned out excitedly, looked at the head of the department opposite him and said seriously: "Department leader, if alchemy and enchantment continue to develop according to the current situation, it will never be possible to restore the grand situation of 30,000 years ago. ”

"I've spent my whole life experiencing that enchantment and alchemy take a lot of time to gain experience, and talent is extremely important. The strength of mental power is directly related to the speed of level growth. However, the current development situation of alchemy and enchantment is still dominated by a small number of magicians, and it is impossible to restore the glory of 30,000 years ago. ”

"Over the years, I have practiced both enchantment and alchemy, and both have practiced to level five, and I have accumulated enough experience, in addition to the strong mental power, the profession of enchantment also needs the magic infusion of magicians, and non-magicians cannot practice. Alchemy, on the other hand, only requires the practitioner's mental power level to be high enough to be able to perform alchemy experiments with a high degree of concentration. Other than that, there aren't many external requirements. We can completely let ordinary people with high spiritual power practice alchemy, and let those magicians who originally practiced alchemy practice enchantment, so that the number of people who practice alchemy and enchantment will go up, and we will be one step closer to restoring the grand occasion of 30,000 years ago. A few years later, as it develops, I believe that it is entirely possible to achieve the grand occasion of alchemy and enchantment. At the end of the sentence, Don Gildeney, who was wearing a mage's robe, had a look of yearning on his face.

"You're a paradox at all!" the head of the department, Howard, retorted in a loud voice, "How can the spiritual power of ordinary people meet the requirements of practicing alchemy. It's not that you don't know that when our Gray Academy recruited students, how many students were forced to choose to give up the path of magicians and practice Dou Qi because their attribute grades were enough, and their spiritual grades were not enough. It is difficult for students with attribute grades to have high-grade spiritual power, do you think that those ordinary people who are so ordinary that they have no attribute grade will have high spiritual power?

Excited, the head of the department, Howard, couldn't help but stand up, he was really enraged by Don Gideney's bullshit theory.

"But, department head, every time we recruit students from Greyac Academy, we first test their attribute grades, and those who fail to pass will be eliminated, and then those who are qualified will be tested for spiritual power grades. How can we be sure that none of those who have been eliminated have reached the level of spiritual power that meets the standard of practicing alchemy? You must know that the number of ordinary people on the Agra continent is far more than our cultivation of Dou Qi and magic, such a large base, even if only one in ten thousand people has the spiritual power to meet the requirements, it is also a milestone leap for alchemy!" Don Kidney still looked at with a glorious face.

"Anyway, ordinary people don't have high-grade spiritual power, and no matter how much you say it, you can't change this fact. Now that you've started the magic barrier, you can say such a ridiculous thing. ”

"It can't be wrong, it must be so, otherwise how did alchemy and enchantment reach that level of prosperity 30,000 years ago? Even if we have lost most of the information, if our predecessors can develop alchemy and enchantment to that extent, why can't we? Why are we still standing still after 30,000 years? It is because we are on the wrong path. And I, now, will correct this path. ”

"Ridiculous! Can you, a fifth-level alchemist, be stronger than me, a great alchemist? Correct? The development path of alchemy doesn't need to be corrected by a small fifth-level alchemist. I see that you are now making your way to your sage, Karle. Department head Howard said leisurely.

"No, I'm different from him, I won't be like him. I will stick to my ideas and find people among ordinary people whose mental strength meets the requirements, and I will prove that I am right. Don Gideni rejected the words of the head of the department, Howard, and said firmly.

"So...... Good luck!" Howard, the head of the department, handed the blue notebook in his hand to Don Gidney.

Don Gideni was stunned, then took the dismissal letter with a trembling hand, and his whole body began to tremble.

That's not fear, he's just reluctant. After all, he had dedicated his life to the Greyac Academy, and to the future of the Alchemy and Enchantment departments.

Touching the three prominent words on the blue notebook with his hand, he didn't open the notebook to look at it, because he already knew what was written inside.

His eyes were slightly red as he looked at the serious look of the chief, and tears rolled in his eyes, but Don Gideni resisted it.

Bowing slightly to the head of the department, Howard, Don Gideni slowly turned around and walked towards the closed office door.

"Don Gidney. Seeing Don Gideney's dejected figure, the head of the department, Howard, couldn't help but say, "If you don't teach your theory to students anymore, I can ask the dean to let you stay." ”

"Nope. Don Gideney's voice was slightly hoarse, but it was extremely determined.

"I think I'm right, the revival of alchemy and enchantment needs pioneers like me. ”

"Why do you bother, with your qualifications, you could have had a chance to reach the Holy Rank, why waste all your time on alchemy and enchantment. It takes a lot of time and effort for ordinary people to learn the same. You, on the other hand, have to practice both. You're ruining your talent. Department Leader Howard left the desk, took two steps forward, and said slowly: "You are now in your sixties, and you have not married and had children for many years because of your research on alchemy and enchantment, and you have delayed the cultivation of magic, and you are still stuck at the fifth level. The rest of the time is no more than 30 years, or at least, maybe 10 years. Don't you think about how you're going to live your life after that, whether you're going to be rocked in the wind and rain, or are you going to live out your old age in the academy to which you've dedicated your life? It's not hard to choose, isn't it?"

Don Gideni did not turn around after listening to Howard, the head of the department.

He took a deep breath and said with a firm expression: "The revival of alchemy and enchantment requires a forerunner like me. ”

With that, he walked up, opened the door to the office, and walked out.

That back, there is firmness reflected in loneliness.

"Alas!" said the head of the department, Howard, as he looked out the door that was already empty, and sighed lightly.

Shaking his head helplessly, he also walked out the door. When leaving, close the door.

Half an hour later, the head of the department, Howard, came to a quaintly decorated but dignified gate.

Reached out and knocked on the door twice.

"Knock knock!"
