Chapter 278: Low-Spec Version of Solar Flare

Chapter 278 The Downscaled Sunflare

Li Wei withdrew most of the spiritual power stored in his phantom body.

Leaving a portion behind to maintain the phantom's actions.

Over the following days.

Li Wei sent his phantom to clock in at the Truth Hall.

His true body remained sequestered within the manor, cultivating diligently.

Before long, October slipped away quietly.

Days stepped into November.

The weather began to cool gradually, though Li Wei's constitution was high, so he barely felt it.

Only when occasionally going out did he see people had switched to long sleeves and added coats.

Many days had passed since the unrest among the undead of the Ancient Battlefield.

The tense atmosphere within the Floating City diminished considerably.

Students from various classes clearing undead outside became a daily routine.

After the incident where Shawn was unexpectedly attacked last time.

The Element Tower no longer fixed cleaning zones for each magic class; areas rotated daily.

Over several days, tens of thousands of undead were cleared.

However, the nearest undead army was now less than a thousand kilometers from the Element Tower.

At their ceaseless pace day and night, they could reach the Element Tower in ten days at most.

The Element Tower was also actively preparing for war.

Research on the Sunflare at the Truth Hall was halted.

The Element Tower demanded the Truth Hall produce useful research results.

Otherwise, wasting vast sums and materials annually on Sunflare research was becoming unsustainable for the Tower.

Research targeting the Sunflare had continued for decades, consuming astonishing resources.

Yet the results obtained were few.

To this day, the Truth Hall remained in the stage of exploring the Sunflare's essence.

Under pressure from the Tower's high command, the Hall paused essence research to focus on practical application.

Related studies existed, but the mainstream focus had always been the Sunflare's essence.

Researchers in this field were few, expending little energy or resources.

After this shift in priority, Li Wei received a request from the Truth Hall for the first time.

Originally, Fonglides wanted Li Wei to join the essence research after three months.

Now, the Element Tower needed the Truth Hall to deliver results.

He intended to cobble together some results to appease them, then continue studying the essence.

In his view, only mastering the essence could unlock the Sunflare's destructive power.

These trivial achievements were not worth further effort.

Not just him; most in the Truth Hall shared this belief.

Fonglides handed Li Wei a report on the properties of ultra-low concentration Sunflare.

He asked Li Wei to attempt deducing a spell model simulating those same properties.

Besides Li Wei, four or five others were conducting similar deductions.

They were the primary force.

Li Wei mainly provided innovative ideas.

Fonglides didn't expect Li Wei to actually deduce a functional spell model.

He valued Li Wei's genius deductive thinking regarding spells.

Sometimes, mindset outweighs experience and method.

Simply put, Fonglides wanted Li Wei's flash of inspiration.

Fonglides gave Li Wei a pile of research data and a sample of ultra-low concentration Sunflare.

Li Wei looked down, reviewing the materials for a long while.

Seeing Li Wei finish, Fonglides finally asked, "How does it feel?"

Li Wei said, "According to the data, ultra-low Sunflare resembles a combination of Radiance, Burst Flame, Holy Light, and Burning spells."

Fonglides glanced at him with some surprise.

He nodded, saying, "It seems you truly have talent here. You saw my conclusion instantly, which took us days to derive.

From a spell property perspective, it indeed resembles these four combined. The difficulty now is fusing the models?

Simple stacking yields a massive, complex model exceeding fifth-tier casting difficulty.

Our calculations suggest normally it holds only third-tier power.

Against undead, its power might exceed even fourth-tier spells.

Fifth-tier casting difficulty far exceeds the power it possesses."

Li Wei pondered, "Burst Flame and Burning share much in common. Using public circuits could achieve the same effect, reducing circuits by sixty percent.

Mainly Radiance and Holy Light; one is light-based, the other holy-based.

I specialize in fire spells, lacking deep study in light or holy arts.

Left to me, it would take a long time to deduce a qualified model.

If mages skilled in light and holy spells helped, it would be much easier."

Fonglides said, "There is a researcher in the Truth Hall skilled in light and holy spells who can help resolve this.

I'll introduce you in two days."

Li Wei nodded, "Mm, okay."

Fonglides said, "Then start by researching how to simplify fusing Burst Flame and Burning."

"Alright."

Li Wei returned to the manor, carrying a bottle of ultra-low concentration Sunflare.

Inside the Truth Hall, researchers named the ultra-low Sunflare "Light Glory".

Light Glory possessed explosive and adherent burning capabilities.

Like a gold-white flame.

When burning, edges showed golden radiance, the center was blinding white, very glaring.

The Radiance encased in the bottle was sealed within a peculiar liquid.

This liquid possessed sealing properties.

It could minimize the dissipation of the Radiance to the utmost degree.

Li Wei had just returned to his room when the Little Bone Dragon poked its head in through the window.

Upon seeing the Radiance Li Wei had placed on the table, it showed a look of disgust.

Li Wei sensed the vigilance transmitted from the Little Bone Dragon's mind.

The Little Bone Dragon was reminding him that the Radiance was extremely dangerous.

Li Wei was somewhat surprised, not expecting the Little Bone Dragon to fear the Radiance so much.

He suddenly realized how strong the Radiance's suppression against undead creatures truly was.

Before, he had always seen in research materials the super-lethality of solar radiance against undead creatures.

He had no actual experience.

Now, seeing even the Little Bone Dragon fear the Radiance so much.

Li Wei suddenly understood.

Now, the Little Bone Dragon's level had already reached the third tier.

In a true battle, relying on an undead body devoid of vital points and the Dragon Clan's extraordinary trait, Corrosive Dragon Flame.

Even a fourth-tier magical beast would not be a match for the Little Bone Dragon.

From this, it can be seen that the Radiance has extremely strong lethality against undead creatures below the third tier.

If one could truly create a spell model to release the Radiance.

Low-level undead would basically lose their threat.

Li Wei calmed the Little Bone Dragon's agitated spirit, pondering in his mind where to begin.

Burst Flame Technique is a third-tier spell.

Burning Technique is a second-tier spell.

The characteristic of Burst Flame Technique is instant explosion, high temperature, and melting.

The characteristic of Burning Technique is continuous burning, attachment, and difficulty to extinguish.

The nature of the two is completely different.

The Radiance's property was thus miraculous, perfectly harmonizing these two contradictory traits.
