Chapter 321 The Name of the Strongest in the Alliance

Back in the Quiet Wind Chamber, the living room instantly erupted in cheers. Maya was the first to rush over, waving her little fists excitedly: "Li Angqing, you're amazing! Even the strongest giant in the alliance wasn't your match. You truly deserve to be our guardian, the guardian of the dwarves!"

Although Olivia did not speak, her ruby-like vertical pupils shone brightly, and her tail swayed gently behind her, clearly indicating that she was extremely unsettled.

Helena and Ludick were busy handing Li Ang warm towels and tea, their faces full of pride and excitement.

The most excited of all was Diana. Although her face was still pale and her steps were unsteady, she paid no heed to these things. She pushed away Olivia, who was supporting her, and walked a few steps to Li Ang. Her bloodshot eyes were fixed on him, and her voice was slightly hoarse due to the turmoil of her emotions: "Li Ang—no, Your Excellency Li Ang." She took a deep breath and spoke solemnly.

"To be honest, although I knew you were strong before, I knew it when you single-handedly suppressed the Red Dragon Legion in the Scorching Flame Sacred Domain."

But I never expected you to be this strong.

Her gaze swept over everyone in the living room, finally settling on Li Ang, and she said, word by word, "Makarov's Shield of the Giants is the Alliance's most powerful defensive spell. In nearly a century, you are the first to break it in a direct confrontation."

She shook her head, as if she still couldn't quite process the fact. "And this also proves that you didn't rely on luck or tricks, but genuinely surpassed him and became the strongest wizard in the alliance."

Diana paused, her eyes becoming sincere and earnest: "Since the passing of the Gorman faction leader, the Elementalist school of Lyrita has lacked a leader who can truly command respect and uphold the school's prestige. Celonst excels in management and coordination, but in terms of personal strength and intimidation, he ultimately falls short."

She looked at Li Ang, her tone resolute, "I believe that you should be the new head of the Elementalist School."

Upon hearing this, the living room fell silent instantly. Maya blinked, glancing at Diana and then at Leon. Olivia's tail stopped wagging, and Helena and Ludick held their breath, waiting for what would follow.

Diana didn't pause. She turned to Carlos, who had been sitting silently on the sofa, and said in a polite but unquestionable tone, "Director Carlos, you have no objections, do you? Although this is a good thing, Leon is still a member of the Potions School. I need to hear your opinion."

Carlos slowly raised his head, his face, slightly haggard from days of hard work, now displaying a complex expression...

With a smile that seemed almost relieved, he looked at Leon and then at Diana, and gently waved his hand: "Professor Diana, you flatter me. The position of sect leader has never been the private property of any particular school, but rather belongs to the most capable. Although Leon comes from the Potions school, everyone has seen the strength, character, and loyalty to Lyrita that he has displayed today."

He paused, his voice gentle yet firm, "This matter does not require my consent. As long as Leon himself is willing, and as long as my colleagues in the Elementalist School approve, my Potions School has no objections. Moreover—Lelita does indeed need a new military deterrent."

A hint of admiration flashed in Diana's eyes. She looked at Li Ang again, her gaze filled with anticipation: "Li Ang, what do you think?"

All eyes were on Li Ang.

Li Ang remained silent for a moment, his face showing neither joy nor pride, only his usual calm and contemplation. He slowly spoke, his voice calm: "Professor Diana, Faction Leader Carlos, thank you both for your trust and high regard. To be frank, I have no interest in the position of faction leader. Power and status have never been my goals."

Then, his tone shifted, his gaze sharpening: "However, the shadow of the end is now looming. The alliance needs internal integration, the towers need to unite, and we need greater strength, more efficient decision-making, and a more unified will. If one day, the situation truly requires me to shoulder this responsibility to face the coming storms..."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the familiar faces before him, finally settling on Diana: "Then, it is my duty."

There were no grand pronouncements or impassioned promises, but the determination and responsibility conveyed in his simple words reassured everyone present.

Diana gave Li Ang a deep look and nodded emphatically: "Good! Your words are enough."

That evening, to celebrate Leon's victory over Makarov, Dinah paid out of her own pocket to buy several bottles of fine aged wine from the most prestigious winery in Chalk City.

Dinner was exceptionally lavish, with the chalk tower offering a signature roasted antelope leg, spiced stew, and fluffy bread, accompanied by the full-bodied wines that Dinah had brought back, creating a lively and cheerful atmosphere.

Maya drank heartily from her glass, chattering about the details of the match. Olivia wasn't very interested in alcohol, but she ate her roast lamb leg with great satisfaction. Helena and Ludick whispered about their observations of the other players during the day, while Carlos and Dinah occasionally exchanged a few words, mostly about the league's situation and future plans.

Li Ang sat beside Eve, watching her sip her wine, the leaf-shaped hair clip in her light shimmering gently under the lamplight.

Eve noticed his gaze, turned her head, and smiled slightly at him. Her eyes, which were always clear and calm, reflected the flickering firelight from the fireplace, making them appear exceptionally gentle.

After dinner, everyone chatted for a while before returning to their rooms to rest. Li Ang went back to his bedroom, immediately sat cross-legged on the bed, calmed his mind, and entered a meditative state.

In his spiritual world, twenty-three stars orbited a ring of stars, slowly rotating like miniature galaxies. His all-out battle with Makarov during the day gave him a deeper understanding of the essence of magic and the flow of spirit.

At this moment, driven by this realization, and coupled with the continuous accumulation of meditation in the excellent environment created by the [Gentle Breeze Barrier] over the past few days, the condensation of the twenty-fourth star has come to fruition.

Mental energy surged like a tide, launching an attack on that final barrier. This time, there was no difficulty or stagnation; it was as if a half-closed door was being gently pushed open.

"Om one"

A clear, melodious sound, perceptible only to Li Ang himself, echoed in his spiritual world.

The twenty-fourth star quietly took shape, shining brightly, and connected with the other twenty-three stars to form a more stable and mysterious cycle.

Level 4 wizard.

Li Ang slowly opened his eyes, a flash of starlight seemingly appearing in his deep pupils. He felt the immense spiritual power flowing within his spiritual world, far surpassing anything he had experienced before, yet his state of mind remained unusually peaceful.

This was merely a natural step; his gaze had already been set on something much more distant.

During the day, when the [Wisdom Mark] boosted his spiritual power to 191 stars, that invisible yet solid barrier, the shackles of life level, clearly stood before him.
