Chapter 128: Great Success Level Fireball Skill, Elemental Melting Furnace
"There are only ten days left until the Mage exchange meeting."
"Are you ready?"
Gu Ze asked Li Wei.
"Just about," Li Wei replied.
Gu Ze nodded. "In that case, we’ll set out for Flying Flower City on July 13th. We’ll go two days early to avoid any unexpected delays that might make us late for the opening ceremony of the Mage exchange meeting."
"July 15th is also the Flying Flower Festival in Flying Flower City. It’ll be very lively then," Gu Ze said with a smile.
Li Wei also looked forward to it.
After bidding farewell to Gu Ze, Li Wei returned to his room.
He immersed himself in his Cultivation.
「The evening of July 12th.」
His meditation and Cultivation session ended. Li Wei opened his eyes, and several lines of text appeared before him.
[Crystal Meditation Method (Tier One)] 5803/10000
[Fireball Skill (Tier One Small Success)] 9666/10000
[Invisible Armor Skill (Tier One Small Success)] 6556/10000
[Object Control Skill (Tier One Small Success)] 4112/10000
[Great Dream Traveling Skill (Tier One)] 800/10000
[Illusion Technique (Tier Zero)] 4200/10000
[Basic Level Alchemy (Tier Zero)] 1632/10000
[Shadow Touch Surgery (Tier One Entry Level)] 472/1000
[Ice Arrow Skill (Tier Zero Mastery)] 420/2000
[Rock Breathing Method (Master Level)] 233/2000
More than half a month had passed. Using Middle Level Magic Potions for his daily meditation and Cultivation, Li Wei’s progress was astonishing.
Now, Li Wei’s Mana Strength had reached 868.
He could cast Tier One Magic eight times, or standard Tier Zero Magic eighty-six times.
Reaching a Mana Strength of one thousand would make him a Tier One High Level Mage.
It had only been about two months since Li Wei advanced to a Tier One Mage.
And he was already approaching the level of a Tier One High Level Mage.
His progress was incredibly fast.
He had also made great progress in his Magic deductions.
The Shadow Attendant-brand all-terrain vehicle was complete.
The Invisible Armor retained its original properties while gaining a simple new shapeshifting ability.
Not only could it allow the Shadow Attendant to carry a person, but it could also enhance the Shadow Attendant’s Attack Power.
This was a pleasant surprise.
When the Shadow Attendant used its Shadow Claw, the Invisible Armor would also form into a claw shape, boosting its Attack Power.
The deduction of the Fireball Skill into an Elemental Melting Furnace was progressing slowly.
On the other hand, he had gained an unexpected amount of proficiency in Alchemy while deducing the Fireball Skill.
This proved that it was theoretically possible.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gained any cultivation experience in Alchemy.
’I should be able to deduce the Fireball Skill to the Great Success Level tonight. I hope I can make a breakthrough,’ Li Wei thought.
Moreover, his greatest gain was with the Rock Breathing Method.
Advancing the Rock Breathing Method to the Master Level hadn’t allowed him to cultivate Fighting Spirit, but it had given his body a considerable boost.
Now, his physique was no longer weak and frail; it was comparable to that of a well-trained soldier.
He could run a marathon without any issue.
It couldn’t compare to an Extraordinary Professional, but it was more than enough for daily activities.
This made Li Wei look forward to the subsequent effects of the Rock Breathing Method.
He focused his mind, and the text before his eyes vanished.
Li Wei once again immersed himself in the busy work of Magic deduction.
In his dream, more than half the night passed, and the deduction of his Fireball Skill reached a critical moment.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck, and a new idea emerged in Li Wei’s mind.
The Fireball in his hand expanded rapidly.
FWOOSH!
In the blink of an eye, the Fireball swelled to half a meter in diameter.
Its volume had increased several times over.
Despite its rapid expansion, the Fire Element within the Fireball didn’t become more violent; instead, it stabilized.
The inside of the Fireball was constantly generating astonishingly high temperatures and heat.
’The Elemental Melting Furnace is a success!’
Li Wei was both surprised and delighted.
He hadn’t expected the final solution to be so simple.
’If I had thought of it sooner, I wouldn’t have been stuck on this until today.’
Simply increasing the Fireball’s volume was enough to maintain a high degree of stability.
A compressed Fireball, while having a higher temperature, also had a much more chaotic and uncontrollable Fire Element inside.
[Fireball Skill (Tier One Great Success)] 0/10000
The Fireball Skill leveled up.
With a thought, Li Wei poured more Mana into the Fireball.
In an instant, he had injected all of his Mana into it.
The Fireball’s volume expanded somewhat.
With the Fireball Skill reaching the Great Success Level, the charging limit increased from seventy percent of his total Mana to one hundred percent.
Li Wei felt he could still infuse more Mana.
With a thought, his Mana was fully restored.
He continued to pour Mana into the Fireball.
1.1 times, 1.2 times... 1.5 times... 1.8 times... 2 times.
Li Wei stopped. The Fireball in his hand had swelled to the height of a person.
Infused with double his own Mana, the total amount of condensed Fire Element was staggering.
The power of the Charged Fireball had increased several times over.
With this single strike, even the Ant King would likely be turned to ash.
Li Wei sensed that he had reached the limit. He couldn’t infuse any more Mana, or it would lose control and detonate.
Once it reached its limit, it could no longer maintain the properties of an Elemental Melting Furnace.
The Fireball now contained the most violent and destructive power.
He tried to compress the Fireball, but after shrinking it to half its size, he couldn’t compress it any further.
Any further, and there was a risk of explosion.
’This size is probably good enough. In reality, I doubt I’ll ever have the chance to conjure such a massive Fireball.’
This Fireball consumed double Li Wei’s Mana.
In the real world, even with a Mana Recovery Potion, he wouldn’t be able to gather this much Mana at once.
A Mana Recovery Potion takes time to restore Mana.
If the charging time was too long, the Fire Element would dissipate, and the Fireball’s power would decrease.
There’s a limit to all things.
Li Wei threw the Fireball from his hand.
The Fireball shot over a hundred meters away and detonated with a violent BOOM.
A dazzling mushroom cloud rose into the sky.
When the dust and smoke cleared, a massive crater over thirty meters in diameter was left on the ground.
Its power had increased by more than severalfold.
Li Wei stood in mid-air, feeling the heatwave wash over him as he gazed at the giant crater in the distance.
He smiled. ’A Nuclear Explosion Mage... that’s just around the corner!’
A Tier One Fireball Technique was already this powerful.
He couldn’t imagine how powerful it would be if he deduced the Fireball Skill into a Forbidden Curse.
Could it become a Godslayer?
The standard by which Ancient Mages judged if a newly created Forbidden Curse was badass was simple: Godslayer.
Li Wei descended, and everything returned to normal.
He cast the Fireball Skill, and a Fireball appeared before him.
He infused it with ninety percent of his Mana, and the Fireball expanded, turning into the Elemental Melting Furnace.
With a thought, Li Wei attempted to deduce the process of smelting Secret Silver Ore in his dream.
Failure.
He knew nothing about the process of smelting Secret Silver Ore.
Deduction was impossible.
The prerequisite for deducing Magic was that Li Wei had to have completely mastered a spell first.
Similarly, to deduce the process of smelting a material in his dream, he had to at least be familiar with the process to get a result.
Seeing this, Li Wei gave up on deducing how to smelt Secret Silver Ore in his dream.
He used the remaining time to cultivate the Illusion Technique.
Gu Ze wanted him to participate in the Young Mage exchange competition.
Li Wei coveted the Elf Spring Water and wanted to participate as well, but he wouldn’t do so using his real identity.
The Illusion Technique was the key.
The higher the proficiency in the Illusion Technique, the better the disguise.
Even Allen hadn’t seen through his Illusion Technique disguise, which meant it was also effective against a Grand Mage.
「The next morning.」
Li Wei and Gu Ze packed their bags, ready to depart.
"Wait up, wait for me!"
Rota ran out, his hair a mess, wearing a disheveled Mage Robe.
It was obvious at a glance that he had prepared to leave at the last minute.
Rota had seen Li Wei and Gu Ze leaving from his window and only then remembered that the Mage exchange meeting was in two days.
Without a second thought, he grabbed his luggage and ran.
"Mage Rota, are you going too?"
