The Wizard: Starting with the Omniscient Cube

Chapter 98 Thundercloud Storm Reappears, Unleashing a Ruthless Attack

"Junior Brother Lin Wei, you've already started at a very high level. At least you don't need to spend too much time paying for the flesh and blood of sea beasts. As for us, we've already graduated, but in order to continue staying near the Turing Tower, we still have to pay on time," the witch said with a smile, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned. "Because the water elemental affinity near the tower is high, it greatly helps us absorb elemental factors." As she spoke, her eyes revealed longing.

"I see. It's a bit like an equivalent exchange." Lin Wei nodded, a look of sudden realization on his face.

"Alright, everyone, let's continue," Kaiya said, waving his hand to signal the others to get back to their work.

Everyone had heavy tasks, and Lin Wei's ability to deal with the sea creatures on his own greatly reduced his burden.

"Okay." Lin Wei nodded. He realized that after killing the spiny shrimp, he was one step closer to completely unlocking the gray face of the Rubik's Cube, and his eyes were full of anticipation.

Lin Wei thought to himself, "I need to unlock it quickly. It seems that the meditation technique hasn't been incorporated into the Deep Blue Dimension. The Deep Blue Dimension only helps with Knight Breathing Techniques and combat skills." He clenched his fist.

Soon, another wizard apprentice caught a spiny shrimp, but he couldn't handle it and asked Kaiya for help. The wizard apprentice looked anxious, his forehead was covered in sweat, and his body was trembling slightly.

Of course, the harvest ultimately belongs to Kaeya.

For the next few days, the sea was calm, with only the occasional seabird flying by.

Lin Wei was lucky; he caught another sea anemone and a small fish over half a meter long, both of which he easily defeated. His movements were clean and swift, and he wore a confident expression.

"We have half the fuel left. Time to head back. Lin Wei, well done." Kaiya steered the ship, and the group began their return journey. The setting sun gradually painted the sea orange-red.

"Generally speaking, we only need to go hunting once or twice a month to meet our monthly quota. We can exchange valuable items from the sea creatures for points within the organization, which is much more worthwhile than meditation stone fragments," Kaiya explained earnestly.

Lin Wei noticed that since he had shown some of his strength, the wizard apprentices on the ship, including Kaiya, had become much more friendly towards him. The wizard apprentice who had spoken sarcastically had fallen silent; he was only a second-class wizard apprentice who had wasted hundreds of years, and now he lowered his head, not daring to look at Lin Wei.

"That's reality. However, the knight system still hasn't caught the eye of formal wizards. At least the tower master and a few other first-ring wizards know about it, but they haven't asked too many questions about it," Lin Wei sighed, frowning slightly.

"There's only a small piece of gray left; we're closer to unlocking it," Lin Wei muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Suddenly, thunderclouds and storm clouds appeared in the sky, completely enveloping the small boat. The gray clouds instantly covered the sky and the boat began to slow down. Everyone felt as if something was pressing on their chests, and it became difficult to breathe.

"Damn it, it's that thundercloud storm again." Lin Wei was speechless. He had encountered this when he first came in. He clenched his fists, his face showing anger.

Only with the presence of the first-ring wizard Randolph could the giant squid be stopped; otherwise, everyone would die.

"Oh no, thundercloud storm!" Kaeya's scalp tingled, and he roared, gripping the rudder tightly with both hands, trying to control the small boat and escape the storm's embrace, veins bulging on his forehead.

"These sea creatures are too arrogant. We've only been out for a few days." Lin Wei felt that things were much more serious than he had imagined. He originally thought that encountering thundercloud storms was a low-probability event, but he didn't expect it to happen so often. His brows furrowed tightly.

Apart from him and Kaiya, everyone else was pale and trembling uncontrollably. Even the smallest thundercloud storm could easily wipe out everyone on the ship.

"There's nothing we can do. We're sitting ducks, too easy to target. Unless we can jump into the sea someday," the witch replied, her voice trembling. "But unofficial wizards probably won't survive in the ocean. There are even more sea monsters down there, and we won't even have time to cast spells."

Kaiya said earnestly, "Don't be discouraged, everyone. We're not far from the organization's Turing Tower. We have a chance to survive."

"Oh well, let's just consider it unlocking the gray side of a Rubik's Cube," Lin Wei said optimistically, patting his chest. "This thunderstorm is smaller than the one we came in. As long as there aren't any giant squid, I'll survive."

"Everyone get ready. There are four sides in total. I'll guard one side, and the rest of you can take your assigned areas," Kaeya shouted, his eyes filled with determination.

"I'll take one," the remaining first-class wizard apprentice said slowly. He looked like Kaiya, a young man, but in reality, he was over three hundred years old, with a calm expression on his face.

"I'll handle it myself," Lin Wei said calmly. Rather than hiding, he might as well step forward. After all, he needed to kill a sufficient number of sea creatures to unlock the gray side. His eyes were filled with determination.

"Then thank you very much, Junior Brother Lin Wei. With you here, our chances of survival have greatly increased," Kaiya said earnestly, nodding to Lin Wei.

"The rest of us will be responsible for the final moments," the witch said, her face pale, her hands gripping her wand tightly.

"Alright, let's get started according to the assignments," Kaeya said, gripping his wand tightly.

Soon, rustling sounds came from all around the deck as countless sea creatures began to climb up. The wizard apprentices also took out their wands, and most of them, except for Lin Wei, began to chant, their faces filled with tension.

"Water Bubble Spell." A wizard's lips moved slightly, and instantly a water-colored bubble appeared at the tip of his wand. The bubble was round and translucent, wrapped in a strong wind, and swept towards the nearest sea creature. The sea creature was trapped by the bubble, twisting its body frantically and making strange "squeaking" noises.

"Water Whip Spell." The witch's eyes sharpened, and with a wave of her wand, a water whip appeared out of thin air, whistling through the air, and began to fend off the crawling sea creatures. The water whip lashed at the sea creatures, splashing up sprays of water.

"Great Water Ball Technique." Kaeya's expression was solemn as he chanted incantations. Several water balls, each half a meter tall, appeared before him, their surfaces shimmering. They continuously slammed into the crawling sea creatures. The sea creatures were hit by the water balls, their bodies swaying as they fell to the ground.

Lin Wei, on the other hand, was enveloped in the Silver Lion Breathing Technique, his muscles bulging, transforming him into a lion-man much larger than any of the sea creatures, his fur standing on end and radiating a metallic sheen.

He roared and began to attack. Unlike the other wizard apprentices who were struggling to hold on, Lin Wei took the initiative to attack, striding into the depths of the sea creatures, leaving deep footprints on the deck with each step.
