Chapter 312 The Rich and Powerful White Chalk Tower

As evening fell, Diana and Carlos returned from their trip to the organizing committee of the competition. The group sat around the long table in the living room of the Tranquil Wind Room, enjoying a sumptuous dinner provided by the Chalk Tower. During the meal, Carlos spoke first: "The schedule has been finalized. The Alliance Innovation Competition and the Friendship Competition will officially open the day after tomorrow, lasting a total of eight days."

He looked at Harris and Maya: "Your 'Dragon Power Potion' is scheduled for presentation and Q&A on the afternoon of the second day of the Innovation Competition. Harris, Maxwell, it's all up to you that day."

"Don't worry, Faction Leader!" Maya patted her chest confidently. "We'll explain the advantages of the potion clearly and thoroughly!"

Harris also solemnly stated, "We have rehearsed the materials and demonstration process many times, there will be no problems."

Carlos nodded, then looked at Leon: "As for your limb regeneration drug," because of the late submission, the preliminary review is scheduled for the morning of the third day. However, the preliminary review mainly involves sample testing and document review; you don't need to be present, I'll be overseeing it."

"Then I'll have to trouble the faction leader," Li Ang said.

At this point, Diana interjected, discussing the arrangements for the friendly match: "The friendly match format is a knockout tournament followed by a final. The first round of knockout matches starts early the day after tomorrow, and all non-seeded players must participate. Li Ang, you are a level three wizard, and this is your first time participating, so you will need to start from the knockout stage."

She paused, then added, "I'm a seeded player, so I can directly enter the round of 16 finals. So I'll be there to watch your match the day after tomorrow."

Li Ang nodded, indicating that he understood.

Diana continued, "The knockout stage is a best-of-three format, with one round per day for three consecutive days to determine the top sixteen. Then there's a one-day break, and the final rounds begin on the fifth day, lasting four days until a champion is crowned."

She looked at Li Ang with a serious expression: "Although with your strength, passing the elimination rounds shouldn't be a problem, don't let your guard down. The participants sent by each tower are all true elites, and some of them have special methods or hidden trump cards."

"I understand," Li Ang replied calmly. "I will take every match seriously."

After dinner, Li Ang did not join in the others' chatter, but returned to his bedroom alone to begin his final pre-race meditation sprint.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, twenty-two stars slowly rotated in his mental world. Li Ang could sense that the condensation of the twenty-third star had reached a crucial moment. If he could break through to the fourth level wizard before the competition, the competition would undoubtedly be much easier.

Although he should be able to win easily by using the power of the Holy Mark, Li Ang would rather rely on his own strength first and see how far he can go with his current strength under normal circumstances.

Time flies by during meditation.

The next day, Li Ang devoted almost all his time to meditation, and he hardly left his room except for necessary meals.

In the perfect environment created by the [Gentle Breeze Barrier LV50], and with the aid of top-grade calming potions, his mental strength grew at an astonishing rate, and the outline of the twenty-third star became clearer and more solid.

However, the barrier of becoming a fourth-level wizard is not so easy to cross.

As dawn broke on the day of the competition, Li Ang slowly opened his eyes. In his spiritual world, twenty-three stars were orbiting along a specific trajectory. He was just one star away from officially entering the realm of a fourth-level wizard.

"Still one step short—" Li Ang sighed softly, but there was no frustration in his eyes.

Twenty-three stars—this is a height that most third-level wizards can hardly reach. Combined with his spiritual power far exceeding that of his peers, his profound understanding of magic, and his powerful equipment, even without using the Holy Mark, his strength is enough to crush most fourth-level wizards and confront fifth-level wizards head-on.

After washing up and changing clothes, Li Ang put on the dark blue wizard's robe that Eve had given him and walked out of the bedroom.

In the living room, everyone had already gathered. Since it wasn't Li Ang's turn to showcase his work at the innovation competition today, everyone decided to go and watch Li Ang's friendly match together.

"Let's go." Li Ang nodded to the group.

The group left the Quiet Wind Pavilion and followed the signs inside the tower to the venue for the friendly match, the top floor of the central suspended platform of the Five Towers.

When Li Ang and his team reached the top of the platform via the dedicated light bridge, the sight before them stunned everyone.

This is a circular arena with a diameter of over 500 meters. The ground is paved with a special stone that is as white as jade but extremely hard, and it is engraved with complex protective and repair magic arrays.

The arena was surrounded by tiered seating, which was now filled with wizards from various towers, numbering probably in the thousands.

Above the arena, dozens of huge viewing platforms floated, shrouded in magical light curtains, clearly VIP seats for use by the upper echelons of the towers or VIPs.

In the very center of the arena, on a high platform, stood an old wizard with white hair and beard, wearing a chalk tower purple robe, holding a megaphone and loudly announcing the opening of the competition.

"Ladies and gentlemen, upholding the principles of exchanging skills and promoting unity, the 173rd Alliance Friendly Tournament officially opens today!"

As soon as the old wizard finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved.

In an instant, twenty ornate gunboats, decorated with various flags and emblems, emerged from the passageways surrounding the arena!

These gunboats, lined up in neat rows, slowly cruised around the arena, their hatches on both sides opening to let countless colorful petals cascade down like waterfalls!

A shower of flowers fell from the sky, enveloping the entire arena in a dazzling fragrance, while gasps and cheers erupted from the stands.

Immediately afterwards, the special passage at the edge of the arena opened, and the massive, varied monsters with their heavy gaits strode into the arena.

These magical beasts were all of the same level, level four. There were giant rhinoceroses covered in ice armor, pegasus coiled with lightning, and lava hounds breathing sulfur.

Under the command of the beast tamer, the twelve magical beasts lined up neatly in the center of the arena, and then simultaneously raised their heads.

"roar-!"

Amidst a deafening roar, scorching flames, biting frost, raging thunder, and twelve breaths of different attributes soared into the sky, intertwining and colliding above the arena, exploding into dazzling bursts of energy fireworks!

The cheers from the audience reached a climax.

"That's quite a grand gesture." Dina sighed softly as she watched the scene. "Twenty armed airships and twelve level-four magical beasts were used for the performance all at once—the White Chalk Tower's resources are indeed profound."

Maya's eyes lit up: "How magnificent! It's even more grand than our Ironforge celebrations!"

Li Ang watched quietly, but in his heart he began to ponder. These airships, these magical beasts, and this vast arena all demonstrated that the White Tower possessed great power, and if this power could be used to fight against the End, it would undoubtedly be a powerful aid.
