Grinding EXP From Fireball Skill-Chapter 70: Great Success Level Invisible Armor

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Great Success Level Invisible Armor

Li Wei ate his meal while he thought.

After awakening his Extraordinary Special Effects and becoming a Tier One Mage, the maximum amount of Mana his body could hold had increased.

Mana is the foundation of a Mage, and Mana Cultivation is the top priority.

It was even more important than grinding Magic skills.

But there are only 24 hours in a day, and Mana Cultivation plus sleeping already took up most of that time.

As a Mage’s Spiritual Power grew stronger, the amount of sleep they needed each day gradually decreased.

With their powerful Spiritual Power, they could even pull the occasional all-nighter and stay alert.

However, sleep was still essential; it was a vital way to recover Spiritual Power.

’The point of sleeping isn’t just to recover Spiritual Power. The dream is just as important.’

’The dream?’

An idea suddenly struck Li Wei; he seemed to have thought of a solution.

After eating, he practiced the Rock Breathing Method for a while to exercise his body.

Practicing the breathing method also helped with digestion.

Half an hour later, Li Wei had showered and was lying in bed.

’Great Dream Traveling Skill!’

His consciousness sank deeper and deeper, plunging into the Dream World.

Li Wei appeared in the safe house.

With a thought, the proficiency list materialized before him.

He memorized the numbers for his Invisible Armor Skill.

Li Wei began practicing the Invisible Armor Skill in his dream.

After practicing a few times, he checked the proficiency list again, a smile spreading across his face.

’It works! Even practicing Magic in a dream increases proficiency.’

’There are no Magic Elements in the dream, so I can’t cultivate Mana.’

’But I have complete control over the Dream World. I can use up my Mana to practice Magic without any restraints. It’s actually faster and easier to grind skill proficiency here than in the real world.’

’So this is the right way to use the Dream World!’

Absorbing Memory Fragments to increase Magic proficiency only worked for common types of Magic.

As his mastery Level for a Magic skill grew higher, it became harder and harder to find suitable targets.

It wasn’t a sustainable long-term strategy.

Only grinding experience was the true path to lasting power!

Li Wei furiously grinded the Invisible Armor Skill. When his Mana ran out, he instantly restored himself to full health and Mana with a single thought.

Late at night, after grinding for several hours, a mentally and physically exhausted Li Wei decided to go for a stroll.

He left the safe house with his Shadow Attendant.

The dream version of Cold Sand City was as dilapidated as ever.

Meteors of fire and rains of flaming arrows streaked across the sky, and the city was filled with collapsed buildings and fleeing crowds.

Li Wei walked invisibly through the streets and saw that the house that had been leveled by an explosion last time had been restored.

BOOM!

A fiery meteor crashed down, blowing the roof apart and causing flames to erupt.

"..."

’Maybe this is just its fate!’

This house was destined to never remain intact.

Li Wei skirted the burning house and walked toward a few Tier One Nightmares.

The Nightmares had just killed a dreamer and were now fighting over the Power of Nightmare that had been generated.

The Shadow Attendant stirred slightly, conveying a sense of longing.

Sensing this, Li Wei had an idea. He was interested in cultivating his Shadow Attendant. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

He raised his hand and cast the Chain Fireball Technique.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Several Fireballs shot out, blasting the Nightmares and sending them flying.

After the series of explosions, only three Nightmare Cores were left floating in mid-air.

"Go!"

The Shadow Attendant eagerly rushed forward.

WHOOSH!

The Shadow Attendant swallowed all three Nightmare Cores in one gulp, leaving Li Wei stunned.

He extinguished the Fireball in his palm and stared at the Shadow Attendant in astonishment.

He had just assumed the Shadow Attendant wanted to devour the residual Power of Nightmare, not that it was coveting the Nightmare Cores of other Nightmares.

The three Nightmare Cores thrashed about inside the Shadow Attendant, causing its form to constantly shift.

Li Wei was a little worried it would burst.

"Can you handle it? If not, spit them out. Quickly."

The Shadow Attendant hesitated for a moment, then spat out one Nightmare Core.

A moment later, it spat out another one.

It kept only one Nightmare Core to digest slowly.

Li Wei looked at his Shadow Attendant, speechless. ’It struggles to digest even one Nightmare Core, yet it dared to swallow three at once.’

He wasn’t surprised. The Nightmare Core used to create the Shadow Attendant had come from a newly born Nightmare.

Therefore, the Shadow Attendant’s strength was pitifully weak.

An hour later, the Shadow Attendant finished digesting one Tier One Low Level Nightmare Core.

Li Wei hunted Tier One Nightmares, obtained their Nightmare Cores, and fed them to his Shadow Attendant to increase its strength.

Half an hour later, the Shadow Attendant digested another Tier One Low Level Nightmare Core.

Its digestion speed had increased. Li Wei continued to hunt suitable Nightmares to feed his Shadow Attendant.

After absorbing three Tier One Low Level Nightmare Cores, the Shadow Attendant advanced to Tier One Middle Level.

The Shadow Attendant’s form became a bit more solid.

’Its strength is increasing so fast!’

Li Wei sighed with emotion as he watched the strengthening Shadow Attendant.

He took out a Tier One Middle Level Nightmare Core and fed it to the Shadow Attendant.

"Let’s go, time to head back."

Tonight, he hadn’t found any suitable Memory Fragments.

Back in the safe house, the Shadow Attendant stayed in a corner, slowly digesting the Tier One Middle Level Nightmare Core.

Li Wei continued to grind the Invisible Armor Skill.

After a few more hours, he felt dawn approaching and exited the dream.

Before leaving, he glanced at his Cultivation progress.

[Invisible Armor Skill (Tier Zero Small Success)] 1854/4000

A smile appeared on Li Wei’s face. Increasing his proficiency by nearly a thousand points in a single night was astounding.

Previously, it would have taken ten days of hard grinding to achieve this result.

Grinding Magic Cultivation in the Dream World had a huge advantage.

’I need to keep up the good work!’

During the morning, Li Wei accepted missions and went out to earn Merit.

He could usually return to Cold Sand City before noon.

With its increased strength, the Shadow Attendant was now much more useful.

It could now directly control ordinary Beastman Soldiers without Li Wei’s help.

In the afternoon, Li Wei stayed in his room to cultivate Mana through meditation.

He was temporarily using the Perfection Level Basic Meditation Method, as he didn’t have a better one.

It was unlikely he would obtain the Crystal Meditation Method anytime soon. His only hope was for it to drop in the Dream World.

The quartermaster’s office did have Meditation Methods available for exchange, but the problem was the exorbitant price.

An Advanced Meditation Method, the Starlight Meditation Method! The purchase price was eight thousand Merit.

The Starlight Meditation Method was the Advanced Meditation Method for the military’s Mage system. It focused on improving Mana stability and resonance.

High resonance meant greater Mana compatibility between Mages.

When Casting Magic at the same time, it could reduce mutual interference and increase the power of the Magic.

Simply put, it was a Meditation Method suitable for Mages who fought in groups.

Li Wei couldn’t afford it, nor did he want it.

The Crystal Meditation Method was more suitable for him.

In any case, the Basic Meditation Method could still increase his Mana, so Li Wei wasn’t in a hurry.

There was no point in rushing.

Three days later, Li Wei was cultivating his Magic in the Dream World.

Suddenly, his mind trembled as he came to a realization.

’Did I break through?’

[Invisible Armor Skill (Tier Zero Great Success)] 0/8000

Li Wei carefully savored the new understanding in his mind.

When the Invisible Armor Skill was raised to the Great Success Level, its Defense Power didn’t increase.

The Defense Power of the Invisible Armor had already reached the limit for a Tier Zero Magic, making it difficult to improve.

But...

’Awesome! So that’s how it works! The creator of the Invisible Armor Skill was a true genius! To think it could be done like this!’

Li Wei was filled with admiration.

Tier Zero Magic was inherently limited; unless you added a Magic Circuit, it was impossible to break its limits.

The Defense Power of the Invisible Armor was already at the limit for a Tier Zero Magic.

Only after being enhanced by its Extraordinary Traits did it surpass that limit.

But in the eyes of the creator of the Invisible Armor Skill, this limit wasn’t the true limit.

He had used a method that subverted the conventional thinking of Mages to shatter the defense limit of a Tier Zero Magic.
