Sonia Sea, Leal Harbor.

It was already dusk, and darkness was gradually enveloping this colonial island that was not located on an important shipping lane.

In an alley that looked somewhat old, a woman wearing a black dress and with a beautiful face was running at top speed.

She seemed to possess the ability of night vision. Even as the sky darkened and there were no streetlights, she could accurately navigate every obstacle in the alley, and even her turning speed didn't decrease.

Suddenly, the woman's footsteps abruptly stopped, and then she leaped up, her body as light as a feather, stepping on the wall.

Bang!

A bullet grazed her hair, shattering the stone bricks on the wall. At the same time, a playing card directly pierced her back, but no blood flowed out.

"Crack!"

The sound of a mirror breaking was particularly jarring in the silence. The woman in the sky shattered into fragments of mirror, disappearing without a trace.

Klein, who had been following the woman, bent over sharply and rolled forward.

A blade burning with black flames suddenly pierced out from where he had been standing. The woman who had just disappeared reappeared, but the knife in her hand struck empty air.

Before he could get up from the ground, the Tarot cards in Klein's hand were thrown out like throwing knives, sharply piercing the wall next to the woman, only shaving off a strand of her hair.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Klein, who had gotten up, threw out several Tarot cards in succession.

The woman's body was obviously very agile, and she managed to avoid all the Tarot cards. Then, just as she wanted to hide herself in the shadows again, a feeling of tranquility and depth instantly enveloped her.

The woman instantly felt an irresistible drowsiness, and her eyelids instinctively drooped. However, as a Sequence 7, her resistance in this regard was obviously not low. Despite being affected by the "Sleep Charm," she still instinctively resisted, looking like she was about to wake up.

Opposite her, although also affected by the "Sleep Charm," Klein, because he had a cheat and had woken up a step earlier, unhesitatingly raised the revolver in his hand at this moment, aiming a shot at the woman's chest and head respectively.

"Crack—"

The previous scene was repeated. The woman's body shattered into mirrors this time. Klein was not surprised at all, only remaining vigilant, capturing any trace of the woman.

The surrounding air suddenly turned cold. The Tarot cards in Klein's hand shot out again like throwing knives. At the same time, his movements suddenly accelerated, and as he leaped up, the revolver he raised was pointed in another direction.

Bang!

The bullet shot out again, but this time it didn't miss. Accompanied by a muffled groan, the woman who had been hiding in the shadows, planning to ambush Klein's lower back, revealed her figure. A blood-colored flower had exploded on her shoulder. This wasn't the most fatal thing. The most fatal thing was that at the moment the bullet hit the woman, her body was paralyzed for a moment.

That moment was enough to determine many things.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After three consecutive shots, the woman with only half of her head left fell to the ground, leaving behind a corpse.

"Hoo…" Klein, who had consumed a great deal of both spirituality and physical strength due to the battle, finally breathed a sigh of relief, leaning against the wall and panting heavily.

"Well done! Although she was just a witch whose application of her abilities wasn't particularly skilled, as a Clown, you've reached this point, which has met my expectations."

The familiar voice rang out. Klein raised his head and saw Lin Ruo jumping down from the wall, carrying a small leather suitcase. He wasn't surprised at all, but couldn't help but smile and say, "Does this mean I've graduated?"

"More accurately, you've graduated from the second stage." Lin Ruo smiled, handing the small leather suitcase in his hand to Klein, and said, "Here, the real roots of the Mist Tree Man and the sap of the Mist Tree Man, the promised graduation gift!"

"With it, you'll have gathered the Beyonder ingredients for concocting the Magician potion. After you digest the last part of the Clown potion, advance to Magician!"

Klein quickly took the suitcase, his mood elated. At the same time, he even felt that his body wasn't so tired anymore.

Today is already August 19th, and Klein has been experiencing life and death at sea for more than half a month. To be honest, this period of time has been really hard, because Klein never knows what kind of enemy Lin Ruo will attract at any time. The only thing that can be certain is that every enemy Lin Ruo attracts is definitely not easy to deal with.

Although he had been injured during this period, and even almost perished with an opponent when fighting a Sequence 8, fortunately, Klein finally survived, and in this half-month of special training, he has grown greatly. Compared to buying all the spinal fluid of the Evil-patterned Black Panther at an Beyonder gathering, now, with the graduation gift Lin Ruo gave him, there is basically no problem in concocting the Magician potion.

The only slight imperfection is probably that Klein's Clown potion hasn't been completely digested yet, with about one-fifth remaining. After all, it's difficult to have both. Lin Ruo's focus during this period of time has still been on combat training, so naturally, the progress in digesting the potion hasn't been that fast.

—In fact, it's not slow anymore. After all, it hasn't even been 20 days since Klein advanced to Clown. In fact, if he hadn't grasped the secret code for digesting the Clown potion, in Klein's situation, it would be very impressive to digest a quarter in 20 days.

"Now that I've graduated, are we going back to Backlund next?" Klein asked curiously, having recovered already. Hunting the witch just now was naturally the graduation assessment Lin Ruo gave him. But before this, Lin Ruo really hadn't said what to do after graduating from the second stage.

"Almost, after all, you've offended both Admiral of Blood and Admiral Hell during this period. I've already confirmed the news. Admiral of Blood seems to be planning to send a Sequence 6 to deal with you, this guy who keeps causing them trouble. Admiral Hell doesn't seem to have any movements, but it's hard to say…" Lin Ruo said with a smile, unhurriedly:

"Now that we've hunted a newly promoted witch of the Demoness Sect, we don't know what kind of reaction there will be. Maybe they'll send a Sequence 6 to deal with you… So, to be on the safe side, let's go back to Backlund first. After all, you can't compete with Sequence 6 now, and it's difficult to improve your combat power in a short period of time. There's not much use in continuing to stay here."

Although jumping back and forth between life and death and constantly fighting helps to improve combat power, there is still a bottleneck after all. It's not like you can keep improving your combat power by fighting all the time. Now that Klein has undergone this period of special training, his combat power has reached a certain limit, and it is indeed difficult to make great progress in a short period of time.

Moreover, Lin Ruo also plans to return to Backlund. After all, many things are about to unfold in that City of Hope, and Lin Ruo also has to prepare in advance.

Not to mention anything else, the operation to hunt that demigod of the Jacob family, which he has been delaying for so long, should be carried out after Klein advances to Magician, and his Beyonder abilities are improved again, giving him more confidence in hunting the demigod.
