Grinding EXP From Fireball Skill-Chapter 50: Chain of Small Fireballs Skill

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Four or five Small Fireballs shot toward Li Wei in quick succession.

Li Wei tried to control the dream to fight back, but failed.

He hastily dodged while simultaneously Casting.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Two Fireballs missed, but the remaining three all struck Li Wei, blasting him away.

Li Wei lay motionless on the ground, seemingly dead.

Rota cautiously approached, about to check if the "Beastman" was truly dead.

Suddenly, he saw the Beastman open its mouth and spit out a Fireball.

Rota froze on the spot. ’What kind of Beastman is this? It can actually spit Fireballs?’

BANG!

Rota was blasted away, his figure disappearing from the dream.

Li Wei scrambled to his feet, snatched the Memory Fragment Rota dropped upon disappearing, and turned to flee.

Dreaming that he had been killed by a bizarre-looking Beastman, Rota jolted awake.

He saw the familiar surroundings and realized it had just been a dream.

Rota let out a long sigh of relief. "So it was just a dream!"

"Dreaming of something like this right before leaving isn’t a good omen. No, I need to get some more life-saving items."

As Rota startled awake, the dream collapsed. Countless streams of gray mist flooded the jungle, devouring everything.

Beyond the gray mist lay an endless, vast darkness.

Li Wei rushed back to his room just before the gray mist and darkness consumed everything.

’Whew! I didn’t expect this dream to be so special.’

’It seems Master Rota is also very worried about running into danger.’

Li Wei sat in his chair, looking at the Memory Fragment in his hand, and began to absorb the information within it.

Perhaps it was because Rota had only used the Chain of Small Fireballs Skill.

The Memory Fragment he obtained this time was filled entirely with memories related to the Chain of Small Fireballs Skill.

After absorbing the information from the Memory Fragment, Li Wei had also mastered the Chain of Small Fireballs Skill.

This was thanks to his own proficiency with the Small Fireball Technique being higher than Rota’s, allowing him to master the Chain of Small Fireballs Skill with ease.

Seeing Rota’s modifications to the Magic Model, Li Wei couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, "Brilliant!"

He constructed the Magic Model and cast the Chain of Small Fireballs Skill.

One after another, Small Fireballs flew rapidly from his hand and began to orbit his body.

Li Wei unleashed seven Small Fireballs in a single breath.

The seven Small Fireballs spun ceaselessly around him, like seven stars guarding a monarch.

A smile appeared on Li Wei’s face.

Thanks to his Perfection Level Mana, the Magic Model he constructed was far more stable, allowing him to release even more Small Fireballs.

Li Wei could see Rota’s ambition in the modifications to the Magic Model.

Theoretically, following Rota’s line of modification, the Magic Model for the Chain of Small Fireballs Skill could continuously produce Small Fireballs until the caster’s Mana was depleted.

One could pour out all their Mana in one go for high-intensity fire suppression against an enemy.

Even Li Wei found his heart stirred by this concept.

If this could truly be realized, then even an Apprentice Mage would have the power to threaten a Second Level Professional.

The weakest Apprentice Mage could cast at least ten Small Fireball Techniques in a row.

A Senior Apprentice Mage would have no problem casting twenty or thirty Small Fireball Techniques.

Currently, Li Wei could cast a maximum of forty-five Small Fireball Techniques in a row.

If he poured out all his Mana at once, the fierce assault of over forty Small Fireballs would be enough to annihilate a Tier Two Professional.

However, an ideal was just an ideal, difficult to achieve.

Even with his Perfection Level Mana, Li Wei could only manage a seven-shot burst.

With a thought, Li Wei summoned a Snow Bear Nightmare into the room.

He was testing the power of the Chain of Small Fireballs Skill by simulating a Snow Bear Nightmare in the dream.

The seven Fireballs at his side shrieked through the air toward the Snow Bear Nightmare.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

One by one, the Fireballs slammed into the Snow Bear Nightmare and exploded, continuously blasting its body to pieces.

Even with the Snow Bear Nightmare’s powerful regenerative abilities, it couldn’t withstand the relentless bombardment of the Chain of Small Fireballs Skill.

When the explosions ended, the Snow Bear Nightmare’s figure was gone.

Only a scene of utter devastation remained.

Li Wei smiled. If he’d had the Chain of Small Fireballs Skill before, he wouldn’t have needed to risk using the Self-detonating Fireball Technique against the Snow Bear Nightmare.

With another thought, the devastated battlefield reverted to a bedroom.

’The Chain of Small Fireballs Skill and the Charged Small Fireball Technique each have their advantages. The former is suited for suppressive fire and dealing with groups of enemies, while the latter is better for single enemies with high Defense Power.’

Li Wei mused, stroking his chin.

’As my Spiritual Power grows, the Self-detonating Fireball Technique has gone from mutual destruction to a pyrrhic victory—harming the enemy by a thousand while losing eight hundred myself.’

Li Wei extended his right hand, and a Fireball in his palm rapidly expanded.

He struggled to control the rapidly swelling Fireball, trying to use his Spiritual Power to contain its force entirely in front of him.

BANG!

A terrifying explosive shockwave spread out.

Most of the shockwave spread forward in a fan shape, a cone of scorching Fire Element flames devouring everything in its path.

A smaller portion of the flames erupted to Li Wei’s sides, engulfing his figure.

Li Wei waved his hand, and the wrecked room once again returned to normal.

’By detonating the Fireball early, before the Magic Model collapses on its own, I can control most of the power and reduce the self-inflicted damage to about twenty percent.’

’The power is weaker, though—only about 4.5 times the might of a Small Fireball Technique.’

’Compared to the five-times-power version that cost me eight hundred to the enemy’s thousand, this small loss in power is acceptable.’

Li Wei smiled and exited the Dream World.

He had discovered another benefit of the Dream World.

He could experiment with and cultivate Magic in the Dream World without any restraint.

Li Wei already rarely used his full strength in the Magic Training Ground.

He didn’t want to expose too much.

Besides, there were some dangerous forms of Magic that could only be practiced in the dream.

The Self-detonating Fireball Technique, for instance.

Only in a life-or-death crisis with no other option would Li Wei use the Self-detonating Fireball Technique.

Under normal circumstances, he would never risk practicing such a dangerous form of Magic.

But inside a dream, things were different.

In his own dream, he was one of the Gods, able to do whatever he pleased, omnipotent.

Even if he was injured, he could recover in an instant.

When he left his own "bedroom," he could still control the dream to a certain extent, but he went from being a God to a Sleepwalker.

A Sleepwalker could be aware of the dream and use the dream’s Power.

But they had to abide by the dream’s Rules and could not overpower the dream’s master.

「The next day, at six in the morning.」

The sky had yet to brighten, only a faint glimmer visible on the horizon.

The people of the Mage Tower had already assembled.

Martin stood on the steps, scanned the crowd, and said, "Let’s move out!"

He walked at the very front, leading the group toward the city gate.

There were very few people on the streets.

Li Wei followed the group to the city gate and saw that two or three hundred people had already gathered beneath the city walls.

All of them were Extraordinary Professionals.

"Li Wei, have you been that busy lately? You haven’t even had time to come find me."

Allen spotted him and walked over, teasing.

Seeing him, Li Wei finally remembered that Allen had asked to meet with him before.

But he had been genuinely busy these past few days and had completely forgotten about it.

Li Wei quickly offered an apologetic smile. "My apologies, Mage Allen. I’ve been busy with my Magic Cultivation these past few days and really haven’t had the time."

El looked at Allen, his expression unfriendly. "Allen, what are you doing here?"

Allen chuckled. "Heh, I’m the chief instructor of the City Lord’s Mansion’s Mage Tutoring Corps now. What do you think I’m doing here?"

Hearing this, El’s expression changed.
