Chapter 168: Huge Boost from the Perfection Realm

Chapter 168 A Tremendous Leap into Perfection

Troska and Evelyn stared at Livi in shock.

When Livi saw Willie, he knew his identity could no longer remain hidden.

After much thought, he decided to reveal the truth outright—after all, he had Torasta’s support.

Livi nodded and said, “Yes, I am Kai.”

Willie laughed. “I knew it was you!”

Troska glanced at him, surprised, then lightly slapped the back of his head. “Why didn’t you tell us sooner about something so important?”

Willie rubbed his head with a wry smile. “I only knew he was the armored man—I didn’t know who he really was.”

Evelyn composed herself and smiled at Livi. “No wonder he followed you to Feihua City.”

She turned to Troska. “His name is Livi. He’s Torasta’s disciple.”

At those words, Troska’s eyes widened slightly.

He nodded slowly. “I see.”

Livi said, “Please keep this a secret.”

Evelyn smiled gently. “Don’t worry. We’re all family here.”

Troska lowered his head in thought, then looked up. “I’ll forge the Source Heart Necklace for you free of charge—but you must provide the materials yourself.”

“I have one request in return.”

Livi was taken aback. “What is it?”

If it were simple, he would agree without hesitation.

He knew full well how high the cost of enlisting Troska’s skill truly was.

Forging a first-rank magic-powered armor already cost hundreds of gold coins.

Using a Fire Spirit Pearl to craft a Source Heart Necklace would undoubtedly be far more difficult—thousands wouldn’t be unreasonable.

Troska said, “I want you to help me manifest someone.”

Evelyn sighed upon hearing this.

“The dead cannot return. Why do you still cling to this?”

Troska looked at her. “I know… but I miss her too much.”

Livi, listening to their exchange, began to understand.

“I may not be able to fulfill your request.”

“It’s alright,” Troska replied. “I can wait—until the day you are able.”

“If you could even ask your master to intervene, I would be forever grateful.”

He didn’t expect Livi to succeed.

From the beginning, it was Torasta he truly hoped to reach.

Livi nodded. “Then I will try my best.”

He didn’t wish to trouble Torasta over this matter.

After all, it was personal.

To manifest the spirit of a lost lover—beyond his current ability.

But he had other means.

For instance, the Great Dream Soaring Technique.

All Troska desired was to see her once more.

Even within a dream, that longing could be fulfilled.

Troska took the Fire Spirit Pearl, examining it briefly. “If you intend to use this in place of an elemental core, you’ll need at least four hundred grams of mithril—otherwise, it won’t withstand such intense magical energy.”

Livi handed over all the mithril he carried. “This is everything I have. Use it first. If it’s not enough, I’ll find more.”

Troska weighed it in his hand. “This should suffice.”

“As for other materials,” Livi added, “I’ll gather them myself.”

Troska shook his head. “I have the rest. I’ll sell them to you at cost.”

“Come back in about three days. We’ll settle the material fees then.”

Livi bowed quickly. “Thank you, Master.”

Troska reminded him, “Don’t forget what you’ve promised me.”

“I won’t. I’ll do my best,” Livi replied.

After speaking of his lost love, Troska seemed subdued.

Willie stepped forward to escort Livi and Evelyn out.

“Take care, Aunt.”

Evelyn glanced at him. “Alright, go back now.”

“Mm.”

Willie turned and left.

On the road, Livi walked beside Evelyn. She murmured, “Never imagined it was you. Truly astonishing.”

She studied him. “Torasta chose you as his disciple—I assumed you excelled in spiritual magic. Never thought you’d also be an elemental mage.”

A faint suspicion stirred within her.

“You’ve undergone elemental awakening?”

Livi paused, then nodded. “Yes.”

There was no point in hiding it.

Anyone who knew he was the armored man would deduce he possessed an elemental-type transcendence.

A soft smile curved Evelyn’s lips.

“Haha… seems he really has found an extraordinary successor.”

At the end of the street, Livi said, “Thank you, Lady Rose, for your aid.”

Evelyn replied, “Think nothing of it. This was merely a transaction.”

“You brought me what I needed.”

And she did not mean the crystal flower.

She did not take the crystal flower from Li Wei’s hand.

After examining it, she simply left the crystal flower in his palm and made no move to claim it.

In her eyes, since the “Lord of the City” had entrusted the crystal flower to Li Wei, both flowers rightfully belonged to him now.

The crystal flower was more than just a symbol—

beneath its delicate form lay the hidden power of the Hundred Blossoms Deity,

a force Li Wei had yet to awaken.

Li Wei bid farewell to Evelyn and returned to the Mage Tower.

That night, within the realm of dreams, he continued his cultivation.

【Fireball (First Tier, Perfection)】0/10,000

As he advanced Fireball to the peak of its first tier,

it was as if a cosmic explosion erupted within his mind.

A flood of knowledge surged into his consciousness.

For a fleeting moment, he glimpsed the true essence of magic.

It took a long while before Li Wei finally regained his composure.

A strange expression crossed his face.

“Could this be… sudden enlightenment?”

Upon mastering Fireball to perfection, a vast array of information concerning first-tier fire spells unfolded in his mind—

including spells beyond Fireball itself.

He now nearly grasped every single first-tier fire spell.

Within the domain of first-tier fire magic, he could freely cast, create, or modify at will.

Li Wei raised his hand and struck forward with his palm.

A wave of flame shot forth—a first-tier fire spell:

Flame Blast!

With a casual wave of his hand, flames ignited across the ground—

another first-tier spell: Ignition!

He opened his mouth and exhaled.

Huuu—

A jet of fire roared out.

Yet another first-tier spell: Flame Breath!

These were spells he had never studied before.

Yet, having perfected Fireball, the models for these spells had naturally emerged in his mind—

effortless, instinctive, as if plucking a flower from thin air.

After a moment of contemplation, Li Wei began to understand.

While cultivating Fireball, he had unknowingly explored the full breadth of first-tier fire magic.

Previously, the knowledge remained fragmented, disconnected.

But once Fireball reached perfection, everything in his mind linked together seamlessly.

It was like mastering countless formulas without knowing how to apply them—

until one day, suddenly, clarity came.

He understood how to use them to solve any problem.

The process of cultivation had been like endless practice,

repetition after repetition, until even an unfamiliar question could be answered with ease.
