Grinding EXP From Fireball Skill
Chapter 255: Flame Blade
Li Wei followed Hobbes to the Hall of Truth.
The last time he was here, Li Wei had only been in the main hall of the Hall of Truth.
This time, led by Hobbes, Li Wei went up to the second floor of the Hall of Truth.
This was where most of the scholars from the Elemental Tower who specialized in magic research gathered.
The vast majority of them were theoretical Mages.
Hobbes clapped his hands and called out to the crowd, "Everyone, just a moment!"
The chattering crowd suddenly fell silent, turning to look at him.
Li Wei stood beside him, feeling a little awkward.
’Isn’t this a bit too high-profile?’
He wasn’t used to being in the spotlight.
But Hobbes had insisted.
He loudly introduced Li Wei to the crowd.
"This is Mage Li Wei, the genius Mage who created and improved multiple Fire Element Magic Models!"
"Most importantly, Mage Li Wei is only sixteen years old, and he’s already a Tier Three Mage."
"He is, without a doubt, the youngest and most talented genius Mage the Elemental Tower has seen in a century!"
"And now, he has become a member of our Hall of Truth."
"Everyone, please welcome our new member, Li Wei!"
The crowd burst into enthusiastic applause.
Quite a few of them had heard of Li Wei.
After all, even the Vice Hall Master couldn’t stop praising the Magic Models Li Wei had improved.
Li Wei felt embarrassed by all the praise.
After the welcome, Hobbes asked Li Wei what areas of Magic Knowledge he specialized in.
Li Wei said, "I only specialize in Fire Element Magic."
"That’s fine," Hobbes said. "You’re still young. You have plenty of time to learn."
"In that case, how about joining our Fire Element Magic research group?"
Li Wei nodded. "Okay."
He asked, "Are there Credit Point rewards for improving Magic Models?"
"Not necessarily," Hobbes said. "It depends on the specifics of the improvement."
"If an improved Magic Model is deemed worthy of being added to the library’s collection, then Credit Points are usually awarded."
"If there’s any Magic you want to learn, you can also use Credit Points to purchase it from the library."
Li Wei was already aware of that.
After becoming a Tier Three Mage, Li Wei could now learn Tier Four Spells and Tier Five Magic.
He hadn’t known where to learn them.
Now, he had an idea.
As a member of the Hall of Truth, he would enjoy a fifty-percent discount.
This was good news for him.
Hobbes suddenly said, "Oh, right, I forgot to ask which Magic Class you’re in."
"The second-year Red Level Class," Li Wei said.
Hobbes nodded instinctively upon hearing this. "Oh, I see... Wait, what?"
He came to his senses and stared at Li Wei in disbelief. "The Red Level Class?"
Li Wei nodded. "Yeah."
Hobbes’s eyes were full of shock. "How is that possible?"
In his view, a genius Mage like Li Wei should be in the Purple Level Class.
How could he have ended up in the lowest-ranked Red Level Class?
Li Wei didn’t bother to explain.
"For some special reason, I was assigned to the Red Level Class when I enrolled."
Hobbes was completely bewildered. He couldn’t fathom what kind of "special reason" would land Li Wei in the Red Level Class.
He looked at Li Wei and said, "I’m sure you’ll be able to get into the Purple Level Class."
"Yeah, I believe so too."
Hobbes didn’t press the issue.
He led Li Wei into the Fire Element Magic research group.
In a small room, a group of people were gathered, discussing Fire Element Magic.
Hobbes briefly introduced the people present to Li Wei.
Li Wei was introduced to everyone in the group.
Of course, his purpose in coming to the Hall of Truth wasn’t genuinely to do research.
Li Wei only wanted Credit Points.
He asked Hobbes, "Do you have any Magic that needs improving?"
Hobbes quickly picked up a blueprint from the table and said, "You came at the perfect time. We have some information here on an ancient Fire Element Magic. We’ve been studying it for a long time but haven’t been able to reconstruct the Magic Model. See if you can deduce it."
"According to the documents, this should be a Tier Two Spell, Flame Saber."
"It’s a bit similar to an Enchantment, but it is indeed a type of Magic."
Li Wei picked up the blueprint and the accompanying documents to look them over.
After reviewing the data on the Flame Saber, a few ideas began to form in Li Wei’s mind.
He said, "Is there a private room? When I’m deducing Magic, I like to be alone and have some quiet."
Hearing this, Hobbes quickly nodded. "Yes, we have one. This is our break room. No one’s using it right now, so you can work in here."
Li Wei walked into the room, closed the door, and lay down.
Great Dream Traveling Skill.
In the Dream World, he began to deduce the Flame Saber at eight times the normal flow of time.
Flame Saber was an ancient Magic that had been lost.
According to the documents, Flame Saber was not a Magic used by traditional Mages. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Instead, it was passed down from a rare class—the Demon Swordsman.
Demon Swordsmen could fuse the Power of Magic and Sword Skill.
The Demon Swordsman class had been lost, and no one knew Flame Saber.
One hour later, Li Wei walked out of the room.
Hobbes heard the door open and looked up at him.
Only an hour had passed, so he didn’t expect Li Wei to have been able to deduce the Magic Model for Flame Saber.
After all, they had possessed the information on Flame Saber for several months.
So far, with their combined efforts, they had only just managed to deduce a rudimentary prototype of the Flame Saber’s Magic Model.
They were still far from a truly usable Magic Model.
Li Wei said, "I’ve deduced the Magic Model for Flame Saber."
Hearing this, Hobbes froze.
Everyone turned to look at him, their faces etched with disbelief.
Li Wei couldn’t be bothered to explain further.
He took out the Death Rider Spear and cast the Flame Saber Magic.
FWOOSH!
Flames ignited along the Death Rider Spear, turning it into a Flaming Spear.
Everyone stared in shock.
"This... Is this really Flame Saber?"
"But isn’t this Magic called Flame Saber? This is clearly a Riding Spear."
Li Wei explained, "Flame Saber isn’t a saber in the literal sense. Flame Saber is an Enchantment."
"Flame Saber can add Flame Magic Damage to equipment. It can be used on a weapon of any shape."
"Rather than calling it Flame Saber, I prefer to call it Flame Blade."
Hearing this, everyone stared at Li Wei with wide eyes.
Hobbes came to his senses and shot up excitedly.
"So that’s how it works! So that’s how it works!"
"Our approach was wrong all along. Our original idea was to create an Energy Saber and then apply a fire Enchantment to it."
"Wrong, we were wrong. This is the real Flame Saber."
"Li Wei, you’re a true genius!"
Hobbes brought over a blank Magic Book.
Li Wei inscribed the Magic Model for Flame Blade into the Magic Book.
The group took turns passing around the Magic Book, examining the Magic Model inside.
After looking at it, they all marveled at Li Wei’s ingenious and unconventional ideas.
Hobbes asked Li Wei if he was willing to contribute the Flame Blade Magic Model to the Elemental Tower.
This was a completely new Magic, and the Elemental Tower would give him a generous reward.
Li Wei agreed.
Hobbes took the Magic Book for Flame Blade to the Vice Hall Master.
The reward for contributing a completely new Magic was much higher than for improving one.
