Grinding EXP From Fireball Skill-Chapter 64: Magic Machine Gun

The bonus from the Fire Elemental Body Extraordinary Trait was straightforward: the power of Fire Element Magic doubled, and its Casting time was halved.

It didn’t require much exploration.

Li Wei’s main focus was to explore the improvements brought by the Mana Control Extraordinary Trait.

’My degree of Mana Control has increased, giving me stronger command over my Magic.’

A small fire serpent floated in his palm, something he had molded from the Small Fireball Technique.

’My control has improved, and my charge-up limit has increased. However, due to the limitations of a Tier Zero Magic Model, a ten-fold charge is already the absolute limit for the Small Fireball Technique.’

The small fire serpent reverted to a Fireball, which rapidly expanded under the influence of his Mana.

It reached its limit when its diameter expanded to half a meter.

A ten-fold charge-up pushed the Small Fireball Technique to the very peak of Tier Zero Magic.

Before Awakening the Mana Control Extraordinary Trait, he would lose control of the Small Fireball Technique if he charged it more than seven-fold, causing it to self-detonate.

Now, even at a ten-fold charge, Li Wei felt that everything was perfectly under control, unaffected by the excessive Mana.

"The Self-detonating Fireball Technique is now a thing of the past," Li Wei said with a smile.

A ten-fold charged Small Fireball Technique was slightly stronger than the Master Level Fireball Technique, but its Casting time was a bit longer.

This was mainly due to the charge-up time.

The Fire Elemental Body halved the normal Casting time, but it couldn’t reduce the charge-up time.

Normally, Casting the Small Fireball Technique only took 0.3 seconds, while its maximum charge-up time was five seconds.

The power amplification for Fire Element Magic from the Fire Elemental Body, however, was unaffected.

A ten-fold charged Small Fireball Technique unleashed true power comparable to the explosion of twenty Small Fireballs detonating simultaneously.

This was even stronger than the Master Level Fireball Technique.

The power of an Entry Level Fireball Technique was about the same as a five-fold charged Small Fireball Technique.

The base power of the Master Level Fireball Technique was increased by about 1.5 times, not quite double.

BANG!

A two-meter-wide crater appeared in the ground.

After experiencing the changes to his Small Fireball Technique, Li Wei proceeded to test the effects of his Mana Control Extraordinary Trait on his other Magic.

With the Invisibility Armor Spell, he could use the charging technique to thicken the Invisible Armor, roughly doubling its Defense Power.

It was slightly weaker than a Tier One Magic Shield, but it was now strong enough to block attacks from Tier One Magic.

The Invisible Armor wasn’t well-suited for charging, so its charge-up limit was low.

As for the Ice Arrow Skill, Li Wei could now effortlessly replicate Gu Ze’s triple-shot technique, and could even manage a five or six-shot burst.

He had forcibly turned a single-shot spell into a rapid-fire one.

A thought struck Li Wei, and he realized he had almost forgotten about the Chain Fireball Technique.

He raised his hand and cast the Chain Fireball Technique.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!

A continuous stream of Fireballs shot out from his palm until his Mana was depleted.

Li Wei stared at the devastated scene before him, overjoyed.

He had actually achieved what Rota had only envisioned.

The key to accomplishing this was the Mana Control Extraordinary Trait.

At that moment, Li Wei truly understood the chasm-like difference that Extraordinary Traits could make.

Abilities that ordinary people had to rack their brains just to barely grasp were simpler than eating and drinking for a Professional who possessed the corresponding Extraordinary Trait.

Li Wei took a deep breath. These two Extraordinary Traits had increased his strength several times over.

’It’s hard to imagine just how powerful a High Tier Extraordinary Being with multiple Extraordinary Traits must be.’ 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

The effects of Extraordinary Traits could stack and synergize, providing terrifyingly potent amplification.

With only the Fire Elemental Body or Mana Control as a single Extraordinary Trait, Li Wei’s strength would have still increased significantly.

But it would have been absolutely impossible to make his Fireball Skill unleash power comparable to the Tier Two Fire Snake Skill.

This also made Li Wei realize the importance of choosing his future Awakenings of Extraordinary Traits carefully.

It would be best if they complemented his Fire Elemental Body and Mana Control.

Collecting his scattered thoughts, Li Wei focused his attention on the present.

With a thought, the room returned to its original state, and his Mana was fully restored.

"Shadow Touch Spell!"

A thick Shadow Tentacle extended from the darkness.

By expending extra Mana, more Shadow Tentacles emerged from the shadows.

A single-target Control Spell had become a multi-target one.

A smile spread across Li Wei’s face. ’Excellent!’

Unfortunately, the Shadow Touch Spell was a form of Shadow Magic, so it couldn’t receive the amplification bonus from his Fire Elemental Body.

Its power remained the same; only its controllability had improved.

He exited the Dream.

Li Wei meditated to cultivate his Mana.

Late that night, after most people had fallen asleep, he entered the Dream once more.

Standing at the door, he took a deep breath. ’Tonight’s goal is to kill a Tier Two Nightmare!’

Li Wei wanted to test his true strength.

WHOOSH! BOOM!

Tonight, the Dream was exceptionally chaotic. Flaming meteors fell from the sky.

They were the catapult stones feared by the people of Cold Sand City.

In the Dream, the stones had become even more terrifying, like meteors raining down from the heavens.

An Arrow Rain also fell from the sky from time to time.

Half of Cold Sand City was burning. Thick smoke rose everywhere, and the figures of Nightmare Beastmen were all around.

Li Wei walked out the door and saw that a wall in the corridor had been smashed by a flaming meteor, creating a gap through which he could see the street outside.

CRACKLE!

The flaming meteor lying in the rubble still burned with an inextinguishable fire.

The entire building was slowly catching fire, and black smoke filled the corridor.

Li Wei waved his hand, and the flames died out, the smoke dissipating.

He didn’t want to come back and find his door gone.

By using the Dream Power, Li Wei was quickly discovered by a nearby Nightmare.

The Nightmare paused, at first thinking it had encountered one of its own kind.

But upon sensing the human aura on Li Wei, it realized he was delicious prey.

WHOOSH!

Four or five Nightmares took flight and lunged at him.

Since Li Wei had revealed he could wield Dream Power, the Nightmares no longer bothered to hide, revealing their true forms.

"Just in time!"

The corner of Li Wei’s mouth curled up as he raised his Magic Staff.

"Chain Fireball Technique!"

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!

A continuous stream of Fireballs shot forth from his Magic Staff.

Under Li Wei’s powerful control, every Fireball precisely locked onto a target.

The Fireballs curved through the air, striking the Nightmares that tried to dodge.

Once a Nightmare was hit by the first Fireball, its movement faltered, and it hesitated for a moment.

Awaiting it was a second, a third, and a fourth Fireball.

This continued until its Nightmare Core was destroyed.

In the blink of an eye, all the Nightmares that had swarmed Li Wei were defeated.

Before any other Nightmares could appear, Li Wei activated his Invisibility and vanished.

’The Nightmares have gotten stronger overall. There are more Tier One Middle Level and High Level Nightmares now.’

He walked down the street, looking up at the sky.

Countless Nightmares danced in the air. After finding prey, a Nightmare would transform into what its victim feared most.

"Ah! Help!"

Li Wei turned his head and saw a few familiar figures.

Fesia, Jonah, Lanya, and Lisa were fleeing for their lives.

A Pig-headed Nightmare, over three meters tall, was chasing them.

It was a Tier Two Nightmare.

BANG!

The Pig-headed Nightmare’s Chain Hammer slammed down, smashing Jonah into a pulp and terrifying the remaining three into an even more frantic dash.

The Tier Zero Magic Shield on Jonah had been completely useless.

Under the attack of a Tier Two Nightmare, it shattered on impact.
