Chapter 265: Tier 4 Spell!

Chapter 265 Fourth-Order Spell!

"Why isn't Teacher Sean giving lectures?"

Li Wei asked with some curiosity.

Sean fell silent for a moment, then said, "The path I walk is not suitable for you."

Li Wei glanced at Sean and said, "Everyone just needs some cultivation experience; perhaps Teacher Sean could share a little appropriately."

Sean chuckled and said, "To be honest, I have no cultivation experience worth sharing."

"Because I am a bloodline sorcerer; my spellcasting ability is all talent and extraordinary traits."

Li Wei glanced at him with some surprise.

No wonder Sean's behavior always seemed so out of place among the mages of the Element Tower.

It turned out he was not a mage at all.

Sean said, "Actually, I did not want to serve as the teacher of the Red Class either."

"The Elders of the Element Tower insisted I take the position, so I could only comply, hoping they would find a more suitable teacher."

Li Wei understood.

Sean's slacking off was actually for the sake of the Red Class students.

He knew clearly that he possessed no ability to teach the Red Class students.

Therefore, he used slacking off to force the Elders in charge of teaching to replace him.

Sean exhaled a breath and said, "I am also very sorry for delaying the Red Class students for a year."

"Next year, I will no longer be a teacher."

"The Elders have agreed to let me guard the Ancient Battlefield."

"In the past, the Element Tower never allowed me to leave this place; letting me go to the Ancient Battlefield was the greatest concession."

"There, I also do not need to worry about harming others."

Sean said much, and Li Wei listened quietly.

Although he did not speak of his past, Li Wei understood from this that Sean was not free.

For him, the Element Tower was more like a cage.

Li Wei said, "Teacher, you are a good person."

Sean glanced at him with some surprise.

He chuckled, "You aren't sympathizing with me, are you?"

Li Wei shook his head and explained, "You deliberately displayed an incompetent appearance, but actually you care about us very much."

"When we were in the Secret Realm, no matter who encountered danger, Teacher, you always acted to save people at the first moment."

"You have always been concerned about everyone's safety."

Li Wei looked at him and asked, "Back when Anthony came looking for me, you were watching from outside, weren't you, Teacher?"

Sean was somewhat surprised, "You discovered that?"

Li Wei said with a smile, "At that time I did not attack the barrier, yet the barrier shattered on its own; surely someone had acted."

Sean smiled slightly and said nothing.

The two parted before the gate of the Element Tower Teaching Academy.

Sean pretended to look half-asleep, walking lazily toward the classroom.

Li Wei walked toward the St. Vilia Library.

After Li Wei became a member of the Hall of Truth, the St. Vilia Library had opened fully to him.

Except for certain areas that required permission to view.

Li Wei was able to read all books within the St. Vilia Library.

He could also remain within the St. Vilia Library for long periods.

It could be said that the title of the Hall of Truth was even more useful in the St. Vilia Library than the title of a Purple Class student.

Just after walking into the St. Vilia Library, Li Wei encountered Hobis, who had come to look for materials.

Hobis looked up, saw Li Wei, and felt some surprise.

"Hi, Li Wei, long time no see."

"Haven't seen you at the Hall of Truth for so many days; everyone misses you very much," Hobis said with a smile.

Li Wei said somewhat embarrassedly, "Recently I've been a bit busy; some time ago I even left the Element Tower for a trip."

Enjoying the benefits of the Hall of Truth, yet not participating in academic research.

Li Wei also felt a bit embarrassed.

Members of the Hall of Truth could enjoy half-price spell purchases and full access to the library. All relied on genuine contributions.

Eighty percent of the various magical knowledge and spell models updated by the Element Tower each year came from the Hall of Truth.

Hearing this, Hobis said, "Then remember to come to the Hall of Truth to see everyone when you have time; everyone misses you very much."

"Did you come to the library to find some materials?" Hobis asked.

Li Wei answered, "I came to learn new spells."

Hobis said, "Oh, oh, then I won't disturb you; I also need to go back and deliver materials to others."

"Be sure to come to the Hall of Truth when you have time!"

Li Wei watched Hobis walk out of the library.

He walked toward the magic book storage area.

The Element Tower recorded a large number of spell models, far more numerous than in Maple Leaf City.

The same spell had various different versions of spell models.

Just for Fireball Technique, there were thirteen versions of spell models.

From the initial, most ancient Fireball Technique spell model, to the latest improved Fireball Technique spell model.

Every change of spell model left a trace within the St. Vilia Library.

Seeing such a multitude of Fireball Technique spell models, Li Wei also felt very curious.

He picked up the first one, the initial Fireball Technique spell model, to examine.

Examining a first-order spell model required consuming 3 credit points.

Hall of Truth members received half price, needing only 1.5 credit points.

Magic books within the library, once unlocked, could be studied forever without needing to repurchase.

Having viewed the first-generation Fireball model, Li Wei felt from it the ancient concept of humanity first mastering the fire element.

After carefully experiencing it, his understanding of the fire element changed to a certain degree.

"Though the spell model of the first-generation Fireball Technique was crude, it pointed straight to the essence of the fire element—thermal energy, internal energy."

"The spell model of the refined Fireball Technique grew increasingly complex, its power rising substantially, yet it gradually lost understanding of the fire element's essence."

Li Wei felt a sense of gain.

This would be of great aid to his subsequent deduction of the third-tier Fireball Technique.

Only by returning to the essence of the fire element could one perhaps seek greater power.

The blue fireball Li Wei created had also, inadvertently, touched upon the essence of the fire element.

Before this, he had only sought to improve the spell model to raise the Fireball Technique's temperature and power.

Seen now, this was completely putting the cart before the horse.

The true Way of Fire resided within the fire element itself, not within the spell model.

Li Wei scanned his surroundings, feeling it necessary to learn the original intent of every spell.

He returned the first-generation Fireball Technique spellbook to the shelf.

"No rush, I will come back after learning the Fire Dragon Technique."

Li Wei ascended to the fourth floor of the library.

Here were stored the fourth-tier spell models.

Li Wei found the Fire Dragon Technique.

The Fire Dragon Technique had three versions, indicating it had undergone two refinements.

Normally, learning the third version of the Fire Dragon Technique was the most efficient.

Li Wei chose the first-generation version of the Fire Dragon Technique.

He wished to understand the original intention of the Fire Dragon Technique's creator.

Refining the spell model was something he could do himself, without needing to borrow another's hand.

Everyone's understanding of spells differed, and the effects of refined spell models varied as well.

Another's refinements might not necessarily suit Li Wei.

The Fire Dragon Technique was a fourth-tier spell; after a fifty percent discount, learning it cost 40 credit points.

His status as a member of the Hall of Truth saved him many credit points.

Li Wei read the spellbook with his spiritual energy, memorizing the incomparably complex spell model of the Fire Dragon Technique.

Characters floated before his eyes, the spell model branded into his mind, never to be lost.
