Grinding EXP From Fireball Skill-Chapter 58: Great Success Level Magic! Knight’s Breathing Method

Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Great Success Level Magic! Knight’s Breathing Method

Back in his room, Li Wei let out a sigh of relief.

He was safe here.

Li Wei took out two Memory Fragments.

Looking at the Memory Fragments, which had already mostly dissipated, he couldn’t help but worry that the memories he needed were already gone.

As he absorbed El’s memories, a torrent of shattered fragments flashed through Li Wei’s mind.

Nothing.

Suddenly, a familiar memory surfaced.

’Is this... the memory of Cultivating the Small Fireball Technique and the Fireball Skill?’

WHOOSH!

Li Wei opened his eyes and exhaled. The Memory Fragment had dissipated too much, leaving the memories within scattered and disordered.

Still, he had gained something.

[Small Fireball Technique (Tier Zero Great Success)] 1688/8000

[Fireball Skill (Tier One Entry Level)] 888/1000

His proficiency with the Fireball Skill had increased, and his Casting speed was faster. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

It now took five seconds to construct the Magic Model and 1.5 seconds for Magic Charging, reducing the total Casting time by nearly half.

’It’s barely usable now.’

Previously, with a Casting time of nearly twelve seconds, Li Wei had been reluctant to use it in battle.

The Casting time was too long; an enemy wouldn’t give him enough time.

Unless it was a well-prepared sneak attack.

Li Wei cast the Small Fireball Technique to experience the changes at the Great Success Level.

The small fireball expanded rapidly in his palm, this time reaching five times its normal power before hitting its limit.

A smile appeared on Li Wei’s face.

’The Great Success Level Small Fireball Technique’s power is already comparable to the Entry Level Fireball Technique. Its attack range and flight speed are still far behind the Fireball Skill, but its main advantages are low consumption and fast Casting speed!’

’Even charged to five times its power, it takes less than three seconds—twice as fast as the Fireball Skill, and it only consumes half the Mana.’

’The self-detonation power will be stronger too!’

Li Wei controlled the Fireball to a distance of one meter away from himself; any farther and the Mana connection would break.

He continuously poured more Mana into the Fireball, bit by bit exceeding the Mana limit the Magic Model could contain.

Six times! Seven times! Eight times!

BANG!

The Magic Model collapsed, and all the concentrated Power in the Fireball erupted.

Terrifying flames instantly engulfed the entire room.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

Li Wei even heard the sound of his Invisible Armor shattering.

’This is bad!’

THUD!

When the explosion ended, the room was pitch-black, with a large crater in the center.

Li Wei was sprawled at the edge of the room, his Invisible Armor shattered.

He struggled to his feet, his entire body aching. His skin stung, burned by the intense flames.

’It’s become a true self-detonation!’

Before, he could use the Invisible Armor to block the damage, trading injuries to take down an enemy.

Now the Fireball’s power was too great, and even the Invisible Armor couldn’t withstand it.

With a thought, the scene of destruction in the room vanished, and everything returned to normal.

Li Wei’s injuries also healed completely, but the shattered Invisible Armor did not return.

He cast the spell again to reconstruct his Invisible Armor.

He attempted to cast the Self-detonating Fireball Technique for a second time.

This time, he carefully controlled the Fireball, letting it expand slowly, bit by bit.

BANG!

A cone-shaped wave of furious flames devoured everything, and Li Wei’s vision was submerged in red Fire Elements.

He waved his hand, and everything returned to normal.

’At seven times the power, it’s about the limit of my control for the self-detonation. About thirty percent of the remaining power will affect me.’

The enemy would face the full force of seven times the power.

Li Wei himself would only have to endure the self-detonation damage equivalent to twice the power of a normal Small Fireball Technique.

By containing the backward blast and redirecting it forward, the attack range of the forward explosion also increased by about 1.5 times.

Li Wei tapped his head and sucked in a sharp breath.

’My head just hurts a bit. The impact of the explosion on my Spiritual Power is pretty significant.’

Containing the explosion’s power wasn’t without a cost; his Spiritual Power, used for the containment, bore the brunt of it.

After a while, the pain from the damage to his Spiritual Power subsided significantly.

He picked up the Knight’s Memory Fragment and began to absorb it.

Before long, Li Wei opened his eyes.

The Knight’s Memory Fragment was even more incomplete, but he still gained something from it.

He had obtained the Rock Breathing Method that the Knight had cultivated.

A Knight’s Breathing Method was like a Mage’s Meditation Method, the very foundation of how a Knight Professional grows stronger.

The Rock Breathing Method focused on defense and endurance, and the Fighting Spirit it cultivated was also defensive in nature.

However, because their Extraordinary Powers were incompatible, Li Wei couldn’t cultivate Fighting Spirit even by practicing the Rock Breathing Method.

Not unless he was willing to abandon his Mana, cripple his own Cultivation, and start over by cultivating Fighting Spirit.

By practicing the Rock Breathing Method, the most he could do was improve his constitution and endurance.

He could only train his body, not cultivate any Extraordinary Power.

[Rock Breathing Method (Entry Level)] 425/1000

After Cultivating for a short while, Li Wei began to sweat lightly and his heart rate increased. It was quite effective for physical training.

’Not bad. Even if I can’t cultivate Fighting Spirit, it’s good to be able to improve my constitution and endurance a bit.’

At least it was much more reliable than making him run ten kilometers every day to exercise.

High Tier Mages could use Magic to modify their own bodies, solving the problem of their physical weakness.

If Low Tier Mages wanted to improve their physique, they could only exercise more, no different from ordinary people.

In terms of pure physique, Low Tier Mages were even worse off than trained soldiers.

Many Mages knew that a weak physique was a vulnerability, but it was a difficult one to change.

In the early morning, after breakfast, everyone gathered in the barracks below the city wall.

Following Orn’s orders, Allen assigned new tasks to the group.

"Vince, George, Honas... and the other Tier One Mages will follow the troops on their sorties and provide magical support."

"The Earth Mage group is responsible for repairing the damaged city walls and constructing new defensive structures."

"The Water Mage group will remain with the logistics unit for now and be responsible for creating usable water."

"The Wind and Fire Element Mage groups will take turns on duty on the city walls, providing magical support for the defending troops."

The fifteen members of the Fire Element Mage group were divided into three squads to take turns on duty on the wall.

Li Wei and Rota were in one squad, along with Delis, Jonah, and Fesia.

Jonah and Fesia were both Ring Mage Apprentices from the City Lord’s Mansion’s Mage Tutoring Corps.

Those who remained were mostly Apprentice Mages and Ring Mage Apprentices.

On the first day, it was Li Wei’s squad’s turn for duty.

Rota, knowing the ropes like an old hand, went straight into a watchtower to find a place to sit and cultivate as soon as they got on the wall.

Li Wei and the other three wandered around on the city wall.

Soldiers were setting up new defensive measures and preparing various supplies needed for the city’s defense.

Li Wei’s group couldn’t help much, so after a brief tour, they returned to the watchtower.

After he sat down, Fesia walked over to him and said with a smile, "Hello, I’m Fesia, Delis’s cousin. I’ve heard her mention you often."

Li Wei was a little surprised. He stood up and shook her hand.

"Hello, I’m Li Wei."

Hearing her mention Delis, Li Wei paused for a moment before remembering who she was.

The last time he had seen Delis was at the apprentice assessment two months ago.

Li Wei had almost forgotten who Delis was.

Fesia said, "Li Wei, would you like to join the City Lord’s Mansion’s Mage Tutoring Corps? I can recommend you to Mage Allen."

"If you join the Mage Tutoring Corps, you can learn the Magic in the City Lord’s Mansion’s collection for free."

"If there’s Magic you want to learn that the City Lord’s Mansion doesn’t have, they can also pay for you to purchase it from the Mage Tower."

"The City Lord’s Mansion will also provide all the cultivation resources you need for daily practice."
