Chapter 267: I Choose to Keep Low Profile

Chapter 267: I Choose to Continue Laying Low

Night.

Li Wei had finished dinner, alone in his room.

The Shadow Attendant was still digesting the Nightmare Core.

Li Wei glanced at the Dragon Blood Tree outside the window.

He moved aside the pile of scrapped puppets, allowing himself a clear view of the Dragon Blood Tree from the window.

This made him feel much more at ease.

He glanced at the little bone dragon lying beneath the Dragon Blood Tree; it was motionless.

Li Wei lay down on the bed and entered the dreamscape.

Dream World.

Li Wei cultivated the Fire Dragon Technique, deducing the Fireball Spell.

Combining the gains from the library, Li Wei had a clear understanding of the direction for future deduction.

The short-term goal was to seek a method of creating fire elements of higher energy levels.

The long-term goal was to find a way to trigger a chain reaction of elemental fission.

The Fire Element Body could directly elevate the fire element's energy level by two tiers.

Li Wei would comprehend from this how to further increase the energy level of fire elements.

Furthermore, he wished to go even further.

To break free from spell models and cast spells through direct resonance with fire elements.

He was already capable of this.

Instantly casting a first-tier fire spell was direct elemental resonance.

There was no process of constructing a spell model.

Li Wei wanted to elevate this ability even further.

Currently, he could achieve this relying on his extraordinary traits.

In the future, once he mastered this ability, he would not need to rely on extraordinary traits; he could do it himself.

Spellcasting would become an instinct for him.

Just like the innate magic of magical beasts.

Magical beasts do not construct spell models; their spellcasting relies entirely on elemental resonance.

Completely dependent on talent.

One night passed.

[Fire Dragon Technique (Fourth-Tier Proficiency)] 69/2000

Powerful as the fourth-tier Fire Dragon Technique was, Li Wei could cast and release it within mere seconds.

Li Wei recalled the scene when he first witnessed a fourth-tier spell.

When Allen cast the fourth-tier spell Sandstorm Tornado, he prepared for several minutes beforehand to complete the casting.

Back when Li Wei fought against Tyr.

Tyr had never used a fourth-tier spell.

Even for someone as powerful as Tyr, casting a fourth-tier spell required no short amount of time.

In fierce combat, there was no opportunity to cast spells.

The only time Li Wei saw Tyr cast the fourth-tier spell Sky Soaring Dragon Spin was when Tyr had prepared beforehand.

The vast majority of fourth-tier mages could not possibly release a fourth-tier spell within a few seconds.

Li Wei possessed such fast casting speed due to two aspects.

One aspect was the Fire Element Body greatly enhancing affinity with fire elements.

The other aspect was the super control power of Advanced Mana Control.

His mana control power rivaled that of a fifth-tier mage.

The combination of strengths created such a monstrous spellcasting ability.

Li Wei had just finished eating when the magic badge vibrated.

He received a message; the Element Tower was summoning all students to gather in the Golden Hall of the Element Tower.

Li Wei said, "Mentor, the Element Tower is summoning all students to gather in the Golden Hall, I will leave first."

Valen was not surprised; he seemed to have known long ago.

He wiped his mouth and said, "This summoning is to deal with the rioting undead; they might assign you combat tasks."

Li Wei heard this, nodded, "Mm, I understand."

Arriving at the Golden Hall of the Element Tower.

Already over a thousand students had gathered here.

The seven magic classes of Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, and Purple were further divided into first, second, and third years based on the students' mage ranks.

Twenty-one magic classes in total.

Everyone stood in formation according to their own magic class.

The third years stood at the very front, the first years stood at the very back.

Seven distinct colored lines appeared within the Golden Hall.

Li Wei walked to the position of the Red Class, Second Year. He had not yet passed the year-end exam, so he was still in the second year.

Seeing his arrival, they all made way, yielding the frontmost position to Li Wei.

Although they had not seen Li Wei many times, everyone knew Li Wei was a formidable figure.

Recently, there were even rumors that Li Wei had become a third-tier mage.

Li Wei stood at the very front of the line; just ahead was the Red Class of the third years.

Baraha stood behind Li Wei and asked softly, "Some say you broke through to the third tier, is it true?"

He was extremely curious.

The people around hearing his question also pricked up their ears.

"Mm."

Everyone drew in a sharp breath.

Shocked immensely in their hearts.

How long had Li Wei been at the Element Tower, yet he advanced to become a third-tier mage?

This made quite a few people who had stayed in the second year for several years feel ashamed.

Soon, several elders of the Element Tower appeared within the Golden Hall.

Upon the chest of each elder were engraved six stars.

Sixth-tier Mages!

The Grand Elder, clad in a white-gold mage robe, looked upon the crowd and spoke.

His voice was not loud, yet it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"The undead in the ancient battlefield are stirring; millions are heading toward the Element Tower."

"We cannot sit and wait for death; we must strike actively and seize the initiative."

...

The Grand Elder explained the reason for gathering everyone, boosting morale and assigning tasks.

Combat missions were organized by magic class units.

Twenty-one magic classes were assigned to different zones.

Each magic class was responsible for clearing undead in their zone, reducing their numbers before the final battle.

During the mission, the Element Tower would operate the super teleportation array at full power for fixed-point teleportation.

The Element Tower issued each person a teleportation token.

The teleportation token could be used once per day.

The Element Tower would use the array to send everyone to the battlefield.

Upon encountering danger, one could use the token to return directly to the Element Tower.

During the mission, the Element Tower would open the credit exchange mall without limit.

Many items usually unavailable, rare magic materials, precious advancement potions, top-tier magic gear... could all be bought with credits.

Completing undead slaying tasks would grant massive amounts of credits.

This was a feast for the strong.

Li Wei followed his class to be assigned to the Crimson Tier Two zone.

The strongest enemies in this zone were merely third-tier undead.

Even if a fourth-tier undead appeared unexpectedly, Sean could handle it.

The Element Tower aimed to clear undead, naturally not letting everyone fall into danger.

Everyone expected to display their prowess and reap rich rewards.

Li Wei only wondered if he could avoid leaving the Element Tower?

He had not forgotten a Legendary Lich was watching him outside.

Going out now, would that not be walking into the tiger's mouth?

Staying in the Element Tower offered some safety; going out would expose him directly under the Legendary Lich's nose.

It was simply seeking death.

Li Wei found Sean and asked, "Teacher, can I not participate in the battle?"

Sean said, "Probably not, why don't you ask the Elders?"

Li Wei shook his head, "Forget it."

"I will find a way myself."

Li Wei racked his brains, seeking a way not to leave the Element Tower.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.

After leaving the Golden Hall, Li Wei hurried to the Hall of Truth to find Hobbes.

Li Wei asked, "Hobbes, does the Hall of Truth have any crucial spells needing deduction?"

Hobbes looked at him strangely and asked, "Why do you ask this?"

Li Wei said, "For some special reasons, I cannot leave the Element Tower now."

"If there is no sufficient reason, I may have to go to war."
