Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Tier Three Perfection Level Fireball Skill, Annihilating Cyan Flame

Hearing Hobbes talk about the privileges enjoyed by students of the Purple Level Class,

Li Wei couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy.

While everyone else was participating in the war, the Purple Level Class students could continue their Cultivation in peace.

Who wouldn’t be envious of that?

Hobbes said, "Professor Fang Lide wants you to take advantage of the final opening of the Fire Elemental Plane this year. It should increase your chances of getting into the Purple Level Class.

Based on your current performance, you’re already qualified to enter, but you might be slightly lacking in terms of raw Cultivation talent.

The students in the Purple Level Class are either prodigies with special bloodlines and inheritances or super-geniuses with astonishing comprehension who can advance by leaps and bounds."

Li Wei nodded and said, "I understand."

"When is it?" he asked.

Hobbes replied, "It’s scheduled for December tenth and will last for ten days."

Li Wei did a quick calculation. There wasn’t much time left.

Only about half a month.

After finishing their meal, Li Wei followed Hobbes to the Hall of Truth.

There, they met Fang Lide.

"Li Wei, this is your reward. Take it. Make sure you familiarize yourself with this ritual when you get back."

Fang Lide handed a Red Crystal Token and a Ritual Scroll to Li Wei.

Li Wei accepted them respectfully. "Thank you, Professor Fang Lide."

Fang Lide smiled and said, "What are you thanking me for? You’ve earned all of this."

"What have you been up to recently? Why haven’t you come to the Hall of Truth?" Fang Lide asked.

Li Wei answered, "I was cultivating in a Cultivation Secret Realm for half a month."

Fang Lide looked at Li Wei expectantly and asked, "So, will you have time to come to the Hall of Truth soon?"

Li Wei said, "I’ll do my best."

"Good. Come by and visit often. Everyone misses you," Fang Lide said.

He turned to Hobbes with a smile. "I heard this kid was the one who pulled you into the Hall of Truth. It’s rare for him to do something so right."

"Uncle, are you saying I’ve never done anything good in your eyes?" Hobbes grumbled, a little displeased.

Li Wei looked at the two of them, a little surprised.

Knowing that Hobbes could get an audience with the Vice Hall Master, Li Wei had already guessed that his status was anything but ordinary.

But he hadn’t expected him to be Fang Lide’s nephew.

Fang Lide said irritably, "Just look at what you’re doing now! What kind of nonsense are you getting into every day? Look at Li Wei. How long has he been at the Hall of Truth? He’s already made so many contributions and participated in so many important research projects..."

Hobbes clutched his head and turned to flee.

"Aaaah, stop talking!"

Li Wei watched Hobbes run off.

Seeing Li Wei’s expression, Fang Lide chuckled and said, "Sorry for the embarrassing display. My nephew is a bit of a disappointment."

Li Wei shook his head. "Not at all. I think Hobbes is quite impressive. At least in the few research labs I’ve visited, everyone really respects him.

Not because of his status, but because of his knowledge.

He may still have a long way to go compared to you, Professor Fang Lide, but Hobbes is truly outstanding."

Fang Lide looked at Li Wei with some surprise. He thought for a moment and said, "Hm. I’ll take another look at the boy."

Li Wei said, "Professor Fang Lide, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to study the Spirit Gathering Ceremony."

"Alright, you can go back for now."

Li Wei left the Hall of Truth and returned to his manor.

’The Spirit Gathering Ritual Array... condenses an Elemental Spirit... forges Extraordinary Traits.’

The best way to get familiar with it was, naturally, to use it.

In reality, he couldn’t meet the conditions for the Spirit Gathering Ritual Array.

So, Li Wei practiced it in his dreams.

During his few days at the manor, Li Wei found some time to write a few manuscripts and send them to the Xinghuo Literature Society.

He cultivated during the day and refined his Magic in his dreams at night.

The refinement of his Radiance Skill wasn’t going smoothly.

The Casting Level was still at Tier Five. With Li Wei’s current abilities, it was difficult to lower it to a normal level.

Generally speaking, the Casting Level should be the same as the Spell Level.

When the Casting Level is higher than the Spell Level, it’s considered a high-difficulty spell.

The Radiance Skill’s Casting Level was two levels higher than its Spell Level, which was beyond "high-difficulty."

Under normal circumstances, it was simply impossible for a Tier Three Mage to learn.

Even a Tier Four Mage might not be able to master it.

Li Wei temporarily set the Radiance Skill aside and focused all his efforts on refining the Tier Three Fireball Skill.

[Fireball Skill (Tier Three Great Success)] 9720/10000

The Fireball Skill was only a step away from Tier Three Perfection.

A night passed.

[Fireball Skill (Tier Three Perfection)] 0/10000

In an instant, Li Wei’s understanding of Tier Three Fire Element Magic rose by several levels.

He could now see through to the essence of any Tier Three Fire Element Magic with a single glance.

He began Casting, and a blue Fireball condensed in his palm.

As Li Wei poured more Mana into it, the blue Fireball’s color deepened, shifting from light blue to a standard blue, and then to a deep blue.

Once the deep blue Fireball reached a certain limit, it instantly transformed into a cyan color.

A cyan born from blue, and far surpassing it.

The temperature inside the cyan Fireball reached thirty thousand degrees.

This temperature was three times that of the deep blue Fireball.

It was hot enough to melt most substances in the world.

Yet, Li Wei still wasn’t completely satisfied.

’This is far from the limit of "High-Energy Elements."’

But this was already his limit. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

He couldn’t raise the Element’s energy level any further.

For one, he couldn’t supply any more powerful energy.

And for another, any further increase in temperature would exceed his Control Power.

The fact that he could hold a thirty-thousand-degree cyan Fireball in his hand without harming himself was a testament to his Control Power.

Li Wei thought of the traits possessed by the Radiance Skill.

’Explosion and combustion... fire can have those too.’

In his mind, the Magic Models for the Burning Skill and the Blast Flame Skill rapidly shifted and transformed.

Li Wei integrated both traits into the cyan Fireball.

The Fireball Skill already possessed an explosive trait, and Li Wei enhanced it even further.

Previously, the explosion was more of a concussive shockwave.

After integrating the explosive property from the Blast Flame Skill, the physical power of the shockwave was reduced, transforming it into the Magic Damage of a Flame Shock.

Li Wei threw the cyan Fireball into the distance.

The cyan Fireball flew over three hundred meters before landing on the ground.

BOOM!

It exploded, and cyan flames spread out rapidly like a carpet.

Everything in its path was incinerated to ash.

In the blink of an eye, a blazing circle of cyan fire over a hundred meters in diameter appeared on the ground.

The cyan flames produced by the explosion didn’t extinguish quickly.

Instead, they continued to burn, consuming all flammable material on the ground.

Even the soil was burned into white ash.

Only after everything combustible had been reduced to cinders did the cyan flames finally die out.

They left behind a grayish-white circle on the ground, more than a hundred meters across.

A normal fire would have left behind a patch of scorched black earth.

But after the cyan flames, only a field of grayish-white remained.

Even the soil had been turned into gray powder.

Its power was awe-inspiringly fearsome.

Seeing this, Li Wei broke into a happy smile.

’Trump card +1.’
