Grinding EXP From Fireball Skill

Once the Legendary Witch Lich controlled the Death Sky Curtain, he could mobilize all the Power within it to resist external attacks and resurrect the Undead.

The difference in effect between the two scenarios was several hundredfold.

The Master of the Hall of Truth said, "If we don’t try, how will we know he can’t do it?"

"And if by some chance he succeeds, wouldn’t that be the perfect opportunity for us to turn the tables?"

Persuaded by the Master of the Hall of Truth, the upper echelons of the Elemental Tower decided to give it a try.

The Wind Chaser looked at Li Wei and said, "The Tower Master says he’ll give you a chance. If you can really do it, he’ll make you a Councilor of the Elemental Tower."

"Furthermore, you won’t have to worry about the Light Divine Sect’s warrant for your arrest. The Elemental Tower will bear the pressure from the Divine Sect for you."

Li Wei smiled and said, "I was never worried about being wanted by the Light Divine Sect in the first place."

"You don’t need to remind me of that."

’What a joke. If I became a Councilor, the Elemental Tower would have to withstand the pressure from the Light Divine Sect anyway.’

Even if Li Wei hadn’t mentioned it, the moment he proposed becoming a Councilor, the Elemental Tower’s leadership would have had to consider this issue.

As a Councilor of the Elemental Tower, the Tower certainly couldn’t just hand him over to the Light Divine Sect.

Facing pressure from the Light Divine Sect would be a certainty.

The Elemental Tower’s leadership must have already considered this when the Wind Chaser first agreed to give Li Wei a chance.

Bringing it up now was just an attempt to sweeten the deal.

Li Wei also understood that the Elemental Tower desperately wanted him to succeed.

’In that case, they can’t blame me for making an outrageous demand.’

Li Wei said, "Destroying the Death Sky Curtain is no easy task. None of you can do it, so you can imagine how difficult it must be."

"Even if I can, it will come at a great cost."

Hearing this, the Wind Chaser frowned and said, "What other demands do you have?"

The tables had turned. The Elemental Tower now needed something from Li Wei. It was no longer Li Wei begging for a seat on the Elemental Tower’s council.

Li Wei said, "I want all the Forbidden Curses the Elemental Tower possesses. I also want to participate in several of the Elemental Tower’s top-secret research projects."

The Wind Chaser’s expression changed drastically upon hearing Li Wei’s outrageous demand.

The others were utterly stunned.

This wasn’t a bid to become a Councilor. This was an attempt to take the whole Elemental Tower home.

The things Li Wei mentioned were among the Elemental Tower’s most valuable assets.

The Floating City and the Elemental Tower itself were just material possessions. If they were lost, they could be rebuilt.

But the Forbidden Curses and secret research projects Li Wei spoke of—every single one was vital to the Elemental Tower’s survival.

Why did Legendary Mages flock to the Elemental Tower?

It was precisely because the Elemental Tower possessed a vast number of Forbidden Curses.

It was difficult for unaffiliated Legendary Mages to obtain Forbidden Curses. If they wanted to learn them, their only option was to join the Elemental Tower.

This was the very foundation of the Elemental Tower’s power.

The secret research projects, on the other hand, represented the Elemental Tower’s future.

A breakthrough in any one of these projects could bring immense benefits and transformative changes to the Elemental Tower.

Previously, Li Wei had helped the Elemental Tower’s Sunshine Secret Research Room achieve a breakthrough in its subsidiary research branches—the development of the Radiant Magic Model and the Radiant Magic Cannon.

This led to the finalization of the Radiance Skill and the Radiant Magic Cannon.

Both of these technologies had a huge impact on the Elemental Tower.

The Radiance Skill dealt high damage to the Undead.

Its damage was no less than that of Holy Magic.

The key was that the requirements to learn it were much lower than for Holy Magic.

This coincided with the Elemental Tower’s battle against the Undead Calamity.

The Radiance Skill truly boosted the Elemental Tower’s overall strength.

Many Mages purchased and learned the Radiance Skill.

The Radiant Magic Cannon became one of the Elemental Tower’s best-selling products.

To fend off the Undead Calamity, the Empire purchased a large quantity of Radiant Magic Cannons from the Elemental Tower, which were extremely effective against the Undead.

Against the Undead, the power of a Radiant Magic Cannon was ten times that of a regular Magic Cannon.

The Elemental Tower also took this opportunity to make a fortune, profiting handsomely from the war.

And these were just two subsidiary technologies from the Sunshine Secret Research Room.

There were dozens more technologies of a similar level within the Sunshine Secret Research Room.

If they could decipher all the secrets of the Sunshine project, it would undoubtedly bring about a world-shaking transformation for the Elemental Tower.

If the core Sunshine research succeeded, then the subsidiary technologies would churn out results and products in no time.

Besides the Sunshine Secret Research Room, the Elemental Tower had two other top-secret research projects of the same level.

Li Wei had never participated in them, but he had heard of them.

One was the Earth Vein Secret Research Room.

The other was the Star Core Secret Research Room.

To anyone outside the secret research rooms, everything related to the projects was top secret.

However, for someone who had reached this level, even if they didn’t know the specifics, they would have likely heard rumors.

The three secret research rooms also competed with each other over their research results.

Li Wei had learned about the Earth Vein and Star Core Secret Research Rooms when, after the success of the Radiance Skill and Radiant Magic Cannon, his fellow team members had been boasting.

They said the other two research rooms were incredibly envious that they had produced tangible results.

For a secret research room, it was perfectly normal to go for decades without any results.

It was a high-probability event for such investments to yield no returns.

Developing era-defining technological breakthroughs was never that easy.

Inside the Elemental Tower’s highest-level conference room, everyone fell silent upon hearing Li Wei’s demands.

The few people in the room all turned to look at the Master of the Hall of Truth.

The Master of the Hall of Truth thought for a moment, then said, "I have no objection to Li Wei participating in the secret research projects..."

"Impossible. Absolutely not," the Tower Master rejected him flatly.

The Master of the Hall of Truth was only thinking about how to produce research results and explore new Magic Theory and Magic Truth.

With Li Wei’s abilities, his participation in the secret research might really push the progress forward significantly.

From this perspective, the Master of the Hall of Truth was in favor.

The Tower Master, however, was considering deeper issues.

He was more concerned with the overall interests of the Elemental Tower.

It wasn’t just about Li Wei; no single person could be allowed to control all three secret research projects.

Seeing this, the Master of the Hall of Truth had no choice but to say, "Li Wei has previously participated in the Sunshine secret research in the Hall of Truth. We can let him join the Sunshine Core Research Room."

When the Tower Master heard that Li Wei had already been involved in the Sunshine research, he no longer had any objections on that front.

"As for the Forbidden Curses... isn’t he a Fire Element Mage? Then give him two Fire Element Forbidden Curses."

The Wind Chaser relayed the leadership’s decision to Li Wei.

Li Wei was not satisfied with the offer and began to negotiate.

In the end, the Elemental Tower agreed to let Li Wei join the Sunshine Core Research Room.

They would give him four Forbidden Curses, one for each of the four elements: earth, water, wind, and fire.

Li Wei wanted to ask for a few more Forbidden Curses.

The Tower Master ignored him and told him directly to take it or leave it.

Hearing the final conditions the Tower Master promised Li Wei, everyone was completely numb.

Li Wei’s outrageous demand had shocked everyone to their core. So much so that when Li Wei and the Wind Chaser haggled afterward and finally settled on these extremely ridiculous terms, everyone actually felt it was acceptable, not entirely unreasonable.

At least it was much less than what Li Wei had initially demanded.

The Wind Chaser handed a Communication Crystal to Li Wei.

"This is a Communication Crystal that allows you to speak with the Tower Master. When you are ready to dispel the Death Sky Curtain, let him know."

Li Wei took the Communication Crystal and nodded. "Alright."

After putting away the Communication Crystal, Li Wei glanced at the crowd behind him, who were all staring at him with expectant eyes.

He leaped up and flew out of the Floating City.

A Legendary Mage standing behind the Wind Chaser watched Li Wei’s departing figure.

He asked, somewhat confused, "Does the Tower Master really believe he can do it?"

This was the question on everyone’s mind.

If the Death Sky Curtain was really that easy to break, the Elemental Tower wouldn’t have been so helpless against the Legendary Witch Lich.

The Wind Chaser said lightly, "What’s the harm in trying?"

"Even if he fails, the most we’ll lose is one Communication Crystal."

Hearing this, everyone had a sudden realization.

So, the Tower Master and Lord Wind Chaser didn’t completely trust Li Wei either.

Just as the Wind Chaser had said, failure would only mean the loss of a Communication Crystal.

To trade one Communication Crystal for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...

...for the Elemental Tower, it was an incredible windfall.
