Grinding EXP From Fireball Skill

After Gu Sewei’s explanation, Li Wei had a general idea of the Rebel Army’s composition.

The Rebel Army was likely made up of dissidents who had been hiding within the Ice and Snow City all along.

It was just that the Ice Queen’s near-omniscient awareness of everything within the city had previously left them with no opportunity to cause trouble.

Until someone discovered the Ice Queen had vanished, and the Ice Jade Palace’s surveillance over Fred City had drastically weakened.

This group of hidden troublemakers finally couldn’t resist showing themselves.

If that was all there was to it, Li Wei wasn’t too concerned.

After all, the Ice Queen had been able to suppress them so thoroughly that they hadn’t dared to even show their faces.

With Gu Sewei’s power, she could surely suppress these people as well.

It would just be a bit more troublesome.

After he finished his thoughts, another matter came to Li Wei’s mind.

During his secluded cultivation, he had been contemplating how to maximize the Extraordinary Traits of the Arcane Magic Codex.

He had come up with many ideas at the time.

With Gu Sewei right beside him, Li Wei wanted to test some of those ideas.

He looked at Gu Sewei and said, "Let’s put off eating for a bit. I have something to ask of you."

Gu Sewei asked curiously, "What is it?"

"I need you to demonstrate all the Magic you know for me," Li Wei said.

Gu Sewei froze for a moment, completely baffled. She didn’t understand what Li Wei was trying to do.

However, she would fulfill Li Wei’s request unconditionally.

Gu Sewei smiled and agreed, "Alright."

Glancing around, she said, "This place isn’t suitable. How about we go to the back mountain? It’s more open there. Some Magic has a wide area of effect and can’t be cast properly here."

Li Wei nodded. "No problem, let’s go."

The Ice and Snow City was built against a snowy mountain. At the foot of the mountain was the residential district for ordinary citizens, where most of the city’s population was concentrated.

The buildings became scarcer further up the mountain, with the Ice Jade Palace at the very peak.

Halfway up, only the barracks for the Valkyries and Ice and Snow Guardians remained; there were no other structures.

The city walls were also built in a circle around the base of the mountain.

Although it was called a circle, it was actually an arc of about two hundred and forty degrees.

This was because behind the snowy peak the Ice and Snow City was built on, there was a sheer, precipitous cliff.

The cliff was covered in hard ice, impossibly smooth, and hundreds of meters high. No enemy could climb it to enter the Ice and Snow City.

Therefore, there were no walls on this side.

Li Wei and Gu Sewei arrived at the top of the precipitous cliff on the back mountain.

The so-called "back mountain" was just a relatively flat patch of ground, with its edge being a cliff face dropping hundreds of meters to the ground below.

Gu Sewei didn’t use her Frost Staff, casually casting a few minor Ice Element spells for Li Wei to see.

She still wasn’t sure what Li Wei was planning.

"Is this okay?"

Gu Sewei casually cast an "Ice Cone Skill." The moment the Magic Model formed, dozens of arm-thick Ice Cones materialized in mid-air and shot toward a snow-covered area nearby.

The power of the Ice Cone Skill she cast so casually far surpassed the triple Ice Cone Skill that Gu Ze had painstakingly improved.

Level was one factor, but the greater difference lay in talent.

In Gu Sewei’s hands, the Ice Cone Skill was just a Tier Zero Magic. Its power was only slightly enhanced by her Extraordinary Traits.

This was unlike Li Wei, who could deduce High Tier magic from Low Tier Magic.

It was a fundamental difference.

Li Wei nodded, sighing with a bit of emotion. "Yes, that’s really impressive."

Seeing Gu Sewei cast the Ice Cone Skill, Li Wei recalled the first time he had cast it himself.

Back then, even with all his might, he could only produce Ice Cones as thick as chopsticks.

Forget comparing it to Gu Sewei’s Ice Cone Skill; his Magic was pathetically weak even when compared to a normal version of the spell.

Now, however, his casting was no longer restricted by his Elemental Affinity.

The reason for this was that his Spiritual Power had become strong enough.

When a Mage’s Spiritual Power was weak, they had to rely on Elemental Affinity to successfully cast Elemental Magic.

Elemental Affinity represented the response speed of the Magic Elements.

The difference in affinity, and thus the difference in the response speed of Magic Elements, was one of the most critical factors affecting the casting speed of Low Tier Mages.

Now, Li Wei’s Spiritual Power was strong enough to "force" the Elements to fill his Magic Models.

While Elemental Affinity was still important when casting large-scale Magic, it wasn’t as crucial for minor spells.

Forcibly filling the model was enough to meet the casting requirements.

On the other hand, just as Spiritual Power increased with a Mage’s strength, Elemental Affinity also improved with a Mage’s Level.

Even though Li Wei had never actively improved his Elemental Affinity with the Wind Element, Thunder Element, or Earth Element... his affinity with them now was certainly far greater than when he was weaker.

Hearing Li Wei’s praise, Gu Sewei let out a soft laugh. "It’s nothing. You’re much more amazing than I am."

Li Wei chuckled and said, "Then I’ll have to trouble you to demonstrate all the Magic you know."

Gu Sewei nodded. "Mm, no problem... But, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Li Wei extended his right hand. A soft glow appeared in his palm, and within it, an ethereal book materialized.

This was the Arcane Magic Codex.

He activated the Ice Cone Skill that the Arcane Magic Codex had just recorded.

Dozens of arm-length Ice Cones materialized in front of Li Wei and shot toward the distant snow.

It was completely identical to the Magic Gu Sewei had just cast.

A shocked expression appeared on Gu Sewei’s face. "Can you copy all Magic?" she exclaimed. "Or can you only copy Low Tier Magic?"

Li Wei said, "It’s related to my own Level. Currently, I can only copy Magic below Tier Six."

Gu Sewei’s eyes were filled with shock. An ability like this was simply terrifying.

’Is this the Extraordinary Power Li Wei gained from breaking through to Tier Six?’

Gu Sewei now understood what Li Wei wanted.

Knowing he wanted to copy her Magic, Gu Sewei held nothing back, doing her utmost to perform at her best so Li Wei could copy her strongest spells.

Gu Sewei had mastered the vast majority of Ice Element Magic from Tier Zero to Tier Six.

Ice Cone Skill, Frost Rain Technique, Frozen Cloud Skill, Ice Track Skill, Freezing Skill, Ice Arrow Skill, Ice Resistance Ring Skill, Ice Sky Snow Land Skill... Frozen Crystal Coffin, Ice Age, Summon Ice Elemental Lord...

Li Wei recorded all the Magic that Gu Sewei cast into the Arcane Magic Codex.

After casting every Ice Element spell she knew, Gu Sewei’s Mana was almost completely depleted.

She was also a little surprised; she hadn’t realized she’d mastered so many spells without being aware of it.

Gu Sewei said with some regret, "It’s a pity I haven’t learned the Absolute Zero Spell yet."

Li Wei checked the Ice Element Magic recorded in his Arcane Magic Codex and said, "Isn’t Absolute Zero a Forbidden Curse? Even if you could cast it, I wouldn’t be able to copy it."

Gu Sewei said, "That’s true."

She moved closer to Li Wei and asked, "How did it go? Did you get them all?"

Li Wei nodded and said, "I’ve recorded all of them. Forty-seven Ice Element spells in total."

He looked up at Gu Sewei and said with a smile, "You’re incredible, mastering so many Ice Element spells."

Gu Sewei gave a modest smile.

"It’s nothing. Compared to you, I’m still a long way off."

Gu Sewei was referring to their overall power.

However, with the Arcane Magic Codex, Li Wei would probably become the Mage with the most mastered spells in history.

The Arcane Magic Codex could copy almost any Magic without limit.

As long as Li Wei’s Spiritual Power could accommodate the recorded Magic Models.

These Magic Models were permanently recorded in Li Wei’s mind.

With these Ice Element spells, Li Wei could now switch from a Fire Element Mage to an Ice Mage.

And it would be difficult for an ordinary person to notice anything was amiss.

Putting away the Arcane Magic Codex, Li Wei thought about the Absolute Zero Forbidden Curse Gu Sewei had mentioned.

After some thought, he figured he might be able to achieve it by relying on the High Level Flame Rules.

Absolute Zero was the process of lowering the temperature to the point where all matter ceases motion, thereby freezing everything.

This was a Rule within the Flame Rule that involved "temperature."

Li Wei could heat an area to its maximum temperature, and he could also control the thermal energy within an area to drop to its minimum.

Removing all thermal energy would achieve absolute zero.

’It’s theoretically possible.’

Li Wei was just about to try it.

Suddenly, an explosion boomed in the sky behind him, and he instinctively turned to look.

When Gu Sewei saw the signal flare explode in the sky, her expression changed drastically.

It was a Valkyrie distress signal flare.

Gu Sewei instantly thought of Monice, who had left the city to encircle and suppress the Rebel Army. ’Could she be in danger?’

Li Wei noticed her expression and quickly asked, "What is that?"

"It’s a distress flare issued to the Valkyries. No, I have to go see what’s happening..." Gu Sewei said hurriedly.

Li Wei stopped her, saying, "I’ll go. You’ve used up too much Mana. Rushing out of the city could be dangerous. You stay in the Ice Jade Palace for now. If anything happens, I’ll let you know through my Illusory Body."

With that, he left an Illusory Body with Gu Sewei to serve as a tool for long-distance communication.

He leaped into the air and flew rapidly in the direction of the exploded flare.

Seeing Li Wei fly away, Gu Sewei shouted, "Be careful!"

Li Wei placed his index and middle fingers together at his temple in a casual salute, letting her know not to worry.

While flying through the air, Li Wei had a novel idea: ’For this battle, I’ll hide my identity as a Fire Element Mage and become an Ice Mage.’

Ice Elf Wings!

WHOOSH!

Ice Elements coalesced behind Li Wei, forming two ice-blue elven wings over three meters long.

With a flap of his wings, Li Wei felt the rush of cold air against his face as he flew toward his destination at top speed.

Soon after leaving the Ice and Snow City, he saw two warring parties on the ground below.

One side was the Valkyrie Squad, clad in standard-issue Armor. The other was the Rebel Army, whose equipment was tattered; most of them wore a mix of Armor and animal hides.

Li Wei’s expression grew puzzled. ’Can a Rebel Army like this really pose a threat to the Ice and Snow City?’

The Valkyrie Squad’s strength wasn’t weak, either. It didn’t seem like they would be defeated by such a force.

Looking down from high above, the Valkyrie Squad clearly had the upper hand in the battle, suppressing the poorly equipped Rebel Army.

’Then who fired the distress flare?’
