Li Wei withdrew the hand he had pressed on the Little Bone Dragon’s head.

His right hand underwent Elementalization, becoming a Flame Hand.

When the flames dissipated, his right hand returned to normal, the wound gone without a trace.

Though the wound had healed, the blood Li Wei had lost was not restored.

Having had a significant amount of blood drained by the Little Bone Dragon, Li Wei felt a little weak.

The blood loss itself was secondary; the main issue was the power contained within it.

The Little Bone Dragon had drawn out the power of the Dragon Race bloodline from his blood.

With his bloodline power diminished, Li Wei would need more time to recover.

If he lost too much, he would never be able to recover it.

The good news was that after being nourished by Li Wei’s essence blood, the Little Bone Dragon’s power had grown strong enough to give birth to a Soul Fire.

This meant the Little Bone Dragon had transformed into a true Undead Bone Dragon.

It was still very weak, but its potential was immense.

Li Wei had the Little Bone Dragon continue to lie beneath the Dragon Blood Tree and guard it.

Staying here was also beneficial for the Little Bone Dragon.

The Little Bone Dragon had died before reaching adulthood. Without external help, it would forever remain this small.

The Dragon Blood Tree grew by absorbing the Dragon Blood of an adult Giant Dragon.

The Little Bone Dragon could slowly draw upon the Dragon Blood within the Dragon Blood Tree to increase its own power.

It would absorb adult Dragon Blood to strengthen itself.

This would affect the Dragon Blood Tree’s growth, but it was also a benefit to the tree.

The Little Bone Dragon’s presence nearby could stimulate the Dragon Blood Tree, increasing the activity of its bloodline power.

This would cause the Dragon Blood Tree to absorb even more bloodline power and evolve.

The two existed in a mutually beneficial, symbiotic relationship.

This was also why the Dragon Blood Tree had suddenly seemed to burst with new life right after Li Wei planted it.

Stimulated by the Little Bone Dragon, the Dragon Blood Tree’s bloodline power became active, allowing it to evolve.

The next day, it wilted.

This was because evolution required a massive amount of energy and nutrients.

The primary nutrients the Dragon Blood Tree needed were the substances contained within Dragon Blood.

After subduing the Little Bone Dragon, Li Wei returned to his room.

The Little Bone Dragon continued to lie beneath the Dragon Blood Tree. A faint blue light flickered within its eye sockets.

It vanished in a flash.

The Soul Flame subsided and disappeared.

The Little Bone Dragon looked the same as before, like a pile of dry bones, completely devoid of power.

In the afternoon, Li Wei reported to the Hall of Truth.

He had to use the Hall of Truth’s name to get an exemption from going out.

Naturally, Li Wei couldn’t just do nothing.

He clocked in at the Hall of Truth every day, putting on an appearance of being busy.

「In the blink of an eye, three days passed.」

Li Wei had already read through most of the research materials concerning Sunshine.

He had a preliminary understanding of what exactly Sunshine was.

Simply put, Sunshine was a power that belonged to the Sun.

It could be abbreviated as Solar Power.

That wouldn’t be wrong.

However, it wasn’t the Sun visible to the naked eye, but rather a more abstract concept of the Sun.

To use a more sophisticated term, it was the Sun Law.

Sunshine involved Laws and Rules.

The Power of Laws was a power that belonged to Divine Spirits.

It was a fundamental power of the world that transcended even Forbidden Curses.

Theoretically, not even a Legendary Mage could control this kind of power.

Sunshine merely involved the Power of Laws; it was not the Power of Laws itself.

It was more like a power manifested after the Power of Laws was concretized in the natural world.

Therefore, Sunshine possessed an extremely terrifying might.

Its manifested properties were also related to the Sun Law.

Scorching heat, high temperatures, dazzling light, purification of darkness...

One of its special effects was "an extremely strong restraining effect on Undead Creatures."

It could easily kill and erase Undead Creatures.

Not even a Legendary Witch Lich could withstand the power of Sunshine.

Connecting this to what he already knew, Li Wei realized the Elemental Tower’s research into Sunshine might have a special purpose behind it.

Research on Sunshine had begun as early as eighty years ago.

Back then, Sunshine was still too mysterious and its power too immense.

Although it had caught the Elemental Tower’s attention, they hadn’t conducted in-depth research.

It wasn’t until thirty years ago, after someone proposed that Sunshine had extremely lethal effects on Undead Creatures and Dark Creatures, that things changed.

The Elemental Tower rapidly prioritized research into Sunshine, conducting a massive number of experiments in just a few short years.

Li Wei could see this data from the research’s historical background.

Nearly ninety percent of the research materials had been compiled within the last thirty years.

Li Wei speculated that thirty years ago, the Elemental Tower had already backstabbed the Legendary Witch Lich.

Knowing the Legendary Witch Lich hadn’t died, they began searching for ways to counter Undead Creatures.

Especially methods to counter a Legendary Level Witch Lich.

And so, Sunshine was taken up by the Elemental Tower as its most important research project.

Li Wei was a bit surprised; he had intended to seek refuge in the Hall of Truth to avoid the Legendary Witch Lich, only to end up getting involved in a matter related to the Witch Lich anyway.

’Fate really is a funny thing. After all this running around, I’m back where I started.’

Li Wei rubbed the middle finger of his left hand, able to feel the texture of the bone beneath the flesh.

He now possessed two of the Legendary Witch Lich’s treasures.

The Dragon Heart and the Golden Bone Ring.

Either one was an absolute treasure.

If they were exposed, people would believe him if he claimed to be the Legendary Witch Lich’s disciple.

Otherwise, who would believe that the Legendary Witch Lich would give such important treasures to a stranger?

"What exactly does the Legendary Witch Lich want me to do?"

Li Wei couldn’t figure out what the other party was thinking.

He shook his head, thinking, ’Who cares what they’re thinking. I’ll just do whatever benefits me most.’

In the afternoon, Li Wei left the Hall of Truth.

Just as he walked out, he ran into a group of students from the Red Level Class.

Every one of them looked disheveled and covered in dirt.

Li Wei was surprised and taken aback. "What happened to you all?"

Balaha saw Li Wei and said dejectedly, "We had terrible luck today. We ran into a group of Undead Archers, and everyone was caught off guard. We were forced to retreat."

Suddenly, someone was teleported back, appearing in the plaza.

The return point for the Teleportation Token was the plaza in front of the Elemental Tower.

The person cried out loudly, "Quick, save Mr. Sean! He gave me his Teleportation Token to use!"

"He’s surrounded by a group of Death Knights! He can’t get back!"

Hearing this, Li Wei quickly pressed for details, "Explain clearly. What exactly is the situation?"

The person explained intermittently, and only then did everyone understand the situation.

It turned out that he had accidentally lost his Teleportation Token.

Since a Teleportation Token could only be used by one person, Sean had given his to the student, letting him return first.

Now, Sean was trapped amidst countless Undead and was under siege by a group of Death Knights.

He was in extreme danger and desperately needed support.

"Quick, go find an Elder!" someone shouted anxiously.

Everyone had been under Sean’s care for the past few days, and their opinion of the "irresponsible" teacher had changed.

Hearing that Sean was in peril, they became frantic on the spot.

Li Wei said, "There’s no time."

They were all students of the Red Level Class; contacting an Elder would require going through several layers of reporting.

There simply wasn’t enough time.

Sean couldn’t hold out that long.

Li Wei scanned the crowd and asked, "Who has a Town Recall Scroll?"

A Town Recall Scroll had the same effect as a Teleportation Token, except the Town Recall Scroll was a one-time use Teleportation Scroll.

A Teleportation Token could be used repeatedly.

Once per day.

Balaha raised his hand and took out a Town Recall Scroll.

"I do."
