Grinding EXP From Fireball Skill-Chapter 83: Deducing the Fireball Skill

At the victory celebration, City Lord Otz generously recognized those with outstanding contributions, rewarding them with a wealth of treasures, gold, and silver.

After the ball ended, Reina and Li Wei parted ways. She hurried off to find her master.

Li Wei stood at the entrance, the cold wind blowing against him. The soft warmth lingered in his palm.

’The world is in chaos, rife with danger. Only the strong can secure their place.’

’Strength is the foundation of everything.’

Unlike the unease he felt when he was weaker and learned he was caught up in trouble—when facing the powerful Orn, the only thing he could do was splatter the man with his own blood—now, the vortex of trouble surrounding him was far greater, yet he remained perfectly calm.

All of this was because of his strength.

With Li Wei’s current power, he could walk away at any time.

Possessing combat power comparable to a Tier Two Mage, he would live well no matter where he went.

Returning to the Mage Tower, Li Wei meditated and cultivated, striving to increase his power.

Late at night, he slipped into the dreamscape.

He ground out his cultivation of the Small Fireball Technique.

After a long while, his mind jolted as a flood of insights appeared in his head.

Things he hadn’t understood before suddenly became clear.

[Small Fireball Technique (Tier Zero Perfection)] 0/∞

Li Wei smiled. He had finally reached Perfection.

With a thought, a thumb-sized flame flickered to life at his fingertip.

The flame rapidly flared up, instantly becoming a small fireball.

The small fireball continued to expand into a large one.

In the blink of an eye, a large fireball, one meter in diameter, appeared before Li Wei.

Before this, that had been his limit.

Limited by his Spiritual Power and his control over the Fireball Skill, he could only infuse a third of his Mana into the Fireball.

But now, the large fireball was still expanding.

A moment later, Li Wei had poured half his Mana into the Fireball.

The Fireball’s diameter had swelled to two meters.

He raised his hand, and the massive, orange-red fireball blazed furiously above his head.

’Deduce the Tier One Fireball Technique!’

Li Wei used the insights from his Perfection Level Small Fireball Technique to deduce and enhance the Tier One Fireball Technique, creating a spell unique to himself.

The deduction process went very smoothly, thanks to his early mastery of the Tier One Fireball Technique.

By absorbing and digesting the construction principles of the Tier One Fireball Technique’s Magic Model, Li Wei deduced his own version of the spell.

’The fireball is too big, its power too diffuse. It’s also not easy to conceal.’

With a single thought, Li Wei knew the direction for his subsequent deductions.

He needed to continue increasing the upper limit of the Fireball’s charged power and shrink the charged Fireball’s volume to concentrate its force and enhance its stealth.

As for the Elemental Fluctuation produced when charging the Fireball, he couldn’t solve that with his current knowledge.

He would have to wait until he gained deeper insights in the future to deal with it.

The two-meter-wide fireball gradually compressed, shrinking in size.

In the end, the large fireball shrank to the size of a basketball, about the same volume as a normal fireball.

However, its color changed from orange-red to a deep orange, and its light grew brighter and more glaring.

It looked less like a fireball and more like a blinding lightbulb.

Its power had also become terrifying.

After being deduced and enhanced, this orange fireball was now infused with seventy percent of Li Wei’s Mana.

Its power was several times that of his previous Charged Fireball.

With a thought, Li Wei conjured the strongest enemy he had ever encountered in the dreamscape—a Tier Two Peak Nightmare Beastman.

This was the same Nightmare Beastman that had once forced Mage Aier to self-destruct in the dreamscape.

A testament to its terrifying combat prowess.

Li Wei threw the orange fireball.

WHOOSH!

KABOOM!

A blinding white light flooded his vision, but Li Wei stared straight ahead.

An indestructible wall of air before him blocked all the light and shockwaves.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Waves of heat rolled out, and the air above the blast zone distorted and warped.

Dust and smoke filled the blast zone.

With a thought from Li Wei, the smoke quickly dispersed, revealing the scene at the center.

The Nightmare Beastman had vanished; even its Nightmare Core was destroyed.

A massive crater, over ten meters in diameter and two to three meters deep, had appeared in the ground.

The soil in the crater was scorched and fused together.

After compressing the Fireball, the explosion’s power was paradoxically more terrifying, and its attack range was even wider.

Li Wei broke into a satisfied smile.

"This is the true Bursting Fireball Technique!"

The Bursting Fireball Technique is a Tier Two Fire Element Magic that focuses on increasing the Fireball’s explosive power, but its Fire Element damage is relatively weak.

His compressed fireball, however, had astonishing explosive power, and its Fire Element damage was not the least bit weak.

Li Wei focused his gaze. The dissipating Fire Element in the air formed into burning words.

[Crystal Meditation Method (Tier One)] 623/10,000

[Fireball Skill (Tier One Small Success)] 3,000/10,000

[Invisible Armor Skill (Tier One Small Success)] 142/10,000

[Great Dream Traveling Skill (Tier Zero)] 9,540/10,000

[Shadow Touch Surgery (Tier One Entry Level)] 400/1,000

[Ice Arrow Skill (Tier Zero Mastery)] 420/2,000

[Rock Breathing Method (Entry Level)] 630/1,000

After the Small Fireball Technique was deduced into the Fireball Skill, their cultivation progresses merged.

The mastery progress for the Fireball Skill also became deduction progress.

Now, his Fireball Skill was a completely new version, unique to Li Wei, and different from the standard Tier One Fireball Technique learned by other Mages.

He hadn’t forgotten what he learned before; he could still cast the regular Fireball Skill and the Small Fireball Technique.

Li Wei looked at the words floating before him and contemplated his next steps.

Cultivating Mana was still his top priority—an essential, indispensable daily task.

There was no rush to deduce his Fireball Skill and Invisibility Armor Spell further in the short term.

Boosted by his own Extraordinary Traits, the power of both spells had already far surpassed the scope of Tier One Magic.

For the time being, he could just progress step by step.

His gaze swept over the Fireball Skill, Invisibility Armor Spell, Shadow Touch Spell...

’Right now, I’m still missing an escape spell.’

Li Wei thought for a moment and decided his next move would be to find a way to obtain a Flying Spell.

When no one else could fly, Flying was undoubtedly the best method of escape.

Without special abilities, a Flying Spell was practically the only way for a Professional to achieve flight.

Most Professionals, even those who reached a High Tier of power, could not fly.

Even if they could fly, it was only by relying on external forces, such as the flying mounts of High Tier Knights or precious Flying Magic Items.

If Li Wei could fly a hundred meters into the sky, not even Orn would be able to threaten him.

A Mage who could fly held a crushing advantage over a Professional who couldn’t.

However, it wasn’t easy even for a Mage to fly.

Among Low Tier Magic, the only spell that granted flight was the Tier Three Magic, Wind Elf Wings.

The Tier Zero Magic, Wind’s Breath, could accelerate movement.

The Tier One Magic, Wind Track, allowed a Mage to move rapidly over a short distance, a sort of ultra-low-altitude, ground-skimming flight.

The Tier Two Spell, Wind Roll Skill, could launch an enemy into the sky.

Even Li Wei wouldn’t find it easy to get off the ground.

Li Wei changed his line of thinking. If he couldn’t find a suitable Low Tier Flying Spell, he would just create one himself.

Once he cultivated a Tier Zero Magic to the Perfection Level, he could use its core creative principles to improve, strengthen, and deduce subsequent High Tier Magic Models to achieve his desired effect.

After thinking for a long time, Li Wei chose a Tier Zero Magic as the starting point to deduce his Flying Spell.

This Tier Zero Magic was not a Wind Magic spell.

In fact, it had nothing to do with Flying at all.
