Grinding EXP From Fireball Skill-Chapter 104: Wimped Out

Night fell in the Dream World.

Li Wei began practicing the Illusion Technique.

The Magic Model for the Tier Zero Illusion Technique was incredibly complex.

It was even more complex than a Tier One Magic.

It had eighteen Magic Circuits, far exceeding the number for a normal Tier Zero Magic.

The key was that these eighteen Magic Circuits were half-ethereal and half-corporeal.

The so-called ethereal and corporeal states referred to whether the Magic Circuits were constructed from Mana or Spiritual Power.

Mana was corporeal, while Spiritual Power was ethereal.

This was the first time Li Wei had ever seen a Magic Model built with Spiritual Power.

’This must be what makes Spiritual Magic so special.’

Excluding the nine Spiritual Power circuits, the remaining nine Mana Circuits were still within the scope of Tier Zero Magic.

After a period of familiarization, Li Wei spent a few minutes and successfully cast the Illusion Technique for the first time.

Only after successfully casting the Magic did he understand the purpose of the Spiritual Power circuits.

The Spiritual Power circuits were the key to creating Illusions.

Li Wei focused his mind, controlling the Illusion Technique.

A touch of bright red appeared in his hand. It looked like a flower, but it was too blurry.

He used his will and imagination to sculpt the Illusion.

As he filled in the flower’s details, the rose gradually became clear and whole.

It took more than ten minutes before a barely passable rose finally appeared in Li Wei’s hand.

If he tried to use it to deceive someone, the flaws would be easily exposed.

Viewing it from another angle revealed that the details were a complete mess.

Li Wei looked at the rose in his hand. ’The Illusion Technique is quite interesting,’ he thought, ’just a bit difficult.’

Compared to ordinary Magic, the Illusion Technique was several levels higher in both Casting difficulty and application difficulty.

Li Wei continuously practiced the Illusion Technique in the Dream World, grinding hard to raise its proficiency.

As long as his Mana flow was uninterrupted, the Illusion Technique could be maintained indefinitely.

The flower in his hand grew more vibrant, then transformed into a dagger, a Magic Staff, a book...

The objects created by the Illusion Technique also grew larger.

The details became richer and richer.

The night passed.

Li Wei opened his eyes and got out of bed, letting out a yawn. He felt a little tired.

Although his Spiritual Power was full, the Dream was too complex, leaving his mind fatigued.

The Illusion Technique placed a high demand on one’s Heart Power.

Judging solely by the speed at which he gained proficiency, the Cultivation difficulty of the Illusion Technique was three to four times that of a typical Tier Zero Magic.

After a night of Cultivation, Li Wei had made a breakthrough with his Illusion Technique.

At the beginning, creating a simple Illusion took him more than ten minutes, sometimes even half an hour.

Now, Li Wei could conjure a simple Illusion at will.

Most importantly, he had discovered a crucial use for the Illusion Technique.

Li Wei stood in front of a mirror.

He cast the Illusion Technique, and the face of the person in the mirror began to change, morphing into that of a stranger.

A smile appeared on Li Wei’s face.

’The Tier Zero Illusion Technique can only create Illusions. It can’t copy another person’s Skills like Torresta’s can.’

’But it’s quite good for changing my appearance. The details just need a little more work.’

Li Wei began to "sculpt" his own face. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

’This will be more convenient when I’m out and about in the future.’

’If I had this ability when I ran into Lilia, I wouldn’t have to worry about Lilith recognizing me now.’

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

A knock came from the door.

Li Wei quickly dispelled the Illusion Technique and walked to the door.

"Who is it?"

"It’s me."

Opening the door, Li Wei called out, "Teacher Gu Ze."

Gu Ze was fully geared up. "I’m about to leave," he said. "Just came to say goodbye."

Li Wei nodded. "Alright. I wish you a safe journey and a fruitful return, Teacher."

Gu Ze said, "Now that you’re the Tower Master’s disciple, just stay in the Mage Tower and focus on your Cultivation. Don’t worry about things like Magic Equipment. Any random Magic Item the Tower Master gives you will be countless times better than anything sold outside."

Li Wei nodded in agreement. "Yes, I know."

With that, Gu Ze didn’t linger and walked away.

From his window, Li Wei saw Gu Ze leaving together with Rota.

Rota glanced back at Li Wei before turning to speak with Gu Ze.

They were too far away for Li Wei to know what they were talking about.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

Li Wei walked to the door again and asked, "Who is it now?"

When he opened the door and saw the visitor, a look of surprise crossed his face.

"Leviedan, what are you doing here?"

Leviedan forced a laugh. "Mage Li Wei, please forgive me for my offense yesterday."

"This is a small token of my sincerity. Please accept it."

He held out a wooden box to Li Wei.

Seeing this, Li Wei knew the news of him becoming the Tower Master’s disciple had already spread.

Although he hadn’t explicitly told Gu Ze yesterday, the implication had been obvious.

Li Wei had met the Tower Master, and the Tower Master had even given him a Magic Book.

If that wasn’t accepting him as a disciple, what was?

Upon hearing the news, Leviedan had rushed to the Mage Tower early in the morning to apologize to Li Wei.

He wanted to mend their relationship.

Li Wei was now the Tower Master’s disciple, a status far higher than his own.

Even the head of the Reinstein Clan treated Torresta with the utmost respect.

Rather than wait for his clan head to find out, it was better to be proactive and repair his relationship with Li Wei early.

When Leviedan saw that Li Wei remained unmoved, he quickly added, "Mage Li Wei, I implore you to forgive my rudeness yesterday. You must accept this bottle of Middle Level Magic Potion."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei’s expression finally changed.

He took the wooden box and said with a smile, "You should have said so earlier. Why would I hold a grudge against you?"

"Ah, yes, yes, of course," Leviedan replied with an obsequious smile.

Li Wei said, "Well, I need to get back to my Cultivation."

Leviedan immediately responded, "In that case, Mage Li Wei, please continue your Cultivation. I won’t disturb you any longer."

Before leaving, he didn’t forget to add a compliment.

"No wonder Mage Li Wei has achieved so much at such a young age. So talented and hardworking, you are a role model for our generation."

Closing the door, Li Wei let out a chuckle. "Heh heh..."

Once Leviedan was a safe distance away, his expression changed. The smile vanished, replaced by a look of pained regret.

’Whew. Dammit, what a loss!’

’That guy really doesn’t act without a reward. The moment he heard ’Magic Potion,’ his face changed completely.’

’Why are all the young people so pragmatic these days?’

Leviedan shook his head helplessly.

In the past, he could have smoothed things over with a few grand principles.

Now, that approach didn’t seem to work anymore.

Young people weren’t willing to swallow empty promises anymore.

Li Wei opened the wooden box. Inside was an unopened bottle of Middle Level Magic Potion.

’A free bottle of Middle Level Magic Potion. How awesome,’ he thought with glee.

Li Wei hadn’t expected Leviedan to be willing to part with a bottle of Middle Level Magic Potion as an apology.

He had thought that becoming Torresta’s disciple would, at most, save him from some trouble.

He never expected Leviedan to cave so completely.

Only then did Li Wei realize just how powerful the title of "Torresta’s disciple" was.

With this title, he could pretty much do whatever he wanted in Maple City.
