Chapter 357: Minor Forbidden Curse, Meteor Fireball Technique
Night fell.
Li Wei cultivated the Fireball Skill in the Dream World, practicing the Tier Four Fireball Technique.
He was preparing himself for the Tier Five Magic he was about to learn.
The next day, Li Wei went to the Saint Villia Library to find a Magic Book for Tier Five Magic.
He was ready to learn a new spell.
’Found it. It’s here.’
Li Wei pulled out a Magic Book. Compared to the others, this one had clearly been handled much more often.
The surrounding Magic Books were all collecting dust, while this one was frequently picked up and wiped clean.
’Meteor Skill.’
A smile spread across Li Wei’s face.
The spell he wanted to learn wasn’t a Tier Five Fire Element Magic.
Instead, it was the Meteor Skill, a type of Earth Magic.
Meteor Skill was, without a doubt, the most powerful spell among all Tier Five Magic.
Bar none.
If it weren’t for its poor accuracy, long Casting time, and lengthy recovery period after attacking, it would be considered a Tier Six Magic.
Its power was no weaker than that of an average Tier Six Magic.
It was only classified as Tier Five Magic because its Casting difficulty was at the Tier Five High Level.
Ring Mages, in particular, were especially fond of learning the Meteor Skill.
They had a natural advantage when it came to Casting difficult spells.
For the vast majority of Ring Mages, there was little difference between the Casting difficulty of a Tier Five Low Level spell and a Tier Five High Level one.
The difference was merely a matter of a few seconds.
For traditional Mages, however, the difference was enormous.
A high-difficulty spell could even fail during Casting.
For Li Wei, of course, such a possibility didn’t exist.
Li Wei spent one hundred and fifty Credit Points to learn the Meteor Skill.
The original price was three hundred Credit Points; his membership in the Hall of Truth saved him a large sum.
Students of the Purple Level Class also received a discount, but it was only thirty percent off.
The discounts couldn’t be stacked; only the highest one applied.
After learning the Meteor Skill, Li Wei’s remaining Credit Points dropped to just fifty-six.
At most, he could learn one more Tier Four Spell; he couldn’t afford any more Tier Five Magic.
Not that Li Wei had any need for it.
Once he learned the Meteor Skill, he turned and left the Saint Villia Library.
As he walked, an image of himself appeared in Li Wei’s mind’s eye as he explored the Magic Model for the Meteor Skill.
[Meteor Skill (Tier Five Entry Level)] 0/1000
The Meteor Skill was different from most of the Magic Models Li Wei had previously studied.
The Magic Models Li Wei had learned were primarily about constructing spells.
The Meteor Skill was a summoning-type spell.
It summoned a meteorite from the heavens to strike a designated location.
The impact location could only be adjusted slightly and couldn’t lock onto or track a target.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a Summoning Skill.
The only difference was that a Summoner’s Summoning Skill summoned living creatures, whereas the Meteor Skill summoned a passing meteorite from outer space.
Learning the Meteor Skill was a completely new experience for Li Wei.
But he wasn’t satisfied with just the Meteor Skill alone.
Li Wei chose the Meteor Skill because it was the most suitable for fusing with Fire Element Magic.
The fusion of Earth Magic and Fire Element Magic evolved into Lava Magic.
Lava Magic was typically more powerful than single-element Fire or Earth spells.
However, the drawback was also obvious.
Lava Magic had a high Casting difficulty.
There was another reason for choosing the Meteor Skill.
It was one of the rare spells that could generate income.
Many Earth Mages liked to cast the Meteor Skill on empty plots of land.
The reason was simple: meteorites from space might contain rare and precious metals.
The probability was low, but if they got lucky and happened upon a meteorite rich in precious metals, it would be a massive windfall.
Becoming rich overnight wouldn’t be just a dream.
The only cost was a bit of Mana and effort.
It was a completely risk-free, high-reward venture.
Li Wei, however, hadn’t thought about getting rich off the Meteor Skill.
He had simply discovered a brand-new use for it while studying its principles.
During the day, Li Wei practiced the Fiery Sun Visualization Method in the Celestial Realm.
At night, he cultivated the Meteor Skill in the Dream World.
With his Arcane Enlightenment Extraordinary Trait, Li Wei’s speed in cultivating Magic had noticeably increased.
A single casting of the Meteor Skill increased his proficiency by ten points.
His progress in cultivating the Meteor Skill was incredibly fast.
In a single night, Li Wei brought the Meteor Skill to the Small Success Level.
He went from summoning meteorites of inconsistent sizes to reliably calling down ones over two meters in diameter.
After another two days, he reached the Great Success Level with the Meteor Skill.
Li Wei could now consistently summon large meteorites exceeding five meters in diameter.
In the Dream World, a whistling sound echoed from the sky.
WHOOSH!
A shooting star descended, erupting in a brilliant, dazzling flash of light.
Accompanied by a massive explosion, the meteorite crashed to the ground, unleashing terrifying destructive power.
BOOM! RUMBLE!
In an instant, a massive crater several kilometers in diameter appeared on the ground.
At the center of the crater lay a huge meteorite, over ten meters in diameter.
An ordinary Mage casting the Meteor Skill could, at most, summon a meteorite about one meter in diameter.
Even that was incredibly impressive in terms of power.
But a single cast of Li Wei’s Meteor Skill could easily destroy a small town.
Its power far surpassed that of an ordinary Mage’s Meteor Skill.
It had already reached the threshold of a Super Tier Spell.
Li Wei smiled.
[Meteor Skill (Perfection)] 0/∞
After grinding for several nights in a row, he had finally maxed out the Meteor Skill to the Perfection Level.
If it weren’t for the Dream World’s eight-times-faster time flow, even with the bonus from Arcane Enlightenment, it would have taken Li Wei at least one or two months to grind the Meteor Skill to the Perfection Level.
Once the Meteor Skill reached the Perfection Level, Li Wei began to work on a fusion spell, combining the Fireball Skill and the Meteor Skill into one.
Li Wei had already advanced his Fireball Skill to the Tier Four Perfect Level while cultivating in the Secret Realm.
This was the perfect opportunity to break through to Tier Five.
After a long period of deduction, a complete, brand-new Magic Model formed in Li Wei’s mind.
’The fused Magic Model of Meteor Skill and Fireball Skill... I’ll call it the Meteor Fireball Technique.’
[Meteor Fireball Technique (Tier Five Small Success)] 0/10000
Text appeared before Li Wei’s eyes.
He cast the Meteor Fireball Technique.
He summoned a meteorite from the heavens.
It materialized high in the sky, hurtling toward the target Li Wei had aimed at, reaching a speed of over ten kilometers per second.
Far exceeding the speed of sound.
As the meteorite plummeted, the intense friction with the air caused it to heat up and glow.
The pitch-black meteorite transformed into the brightest shooting star in the sky as it fell to the world.
Heat continuously built up inside the meteorite.
It melted the rock and metal within.
As it fell, the meteorite frantically absorbed the Fire Element from the world around it.
With a massive amount of Fire Element converging within, the meteorite became a giant Lava Fireball.
WHOOSH!
The Meteor Fireball streaked across the sky, leaving a long, glowing tail in its wake.
BOOM! RUMBLE!
The star finally slammed into the ground.
The terrifying impact instantly caused the ground within a several-kilometer radius to sink by several meters.
What followed was an overwhelming eruption of molten lava and fire, spreading outward.
The splash radius of searing lava and molten metal exceeded ten kilometers, with the farthest fragments flying over twenty kilometers away.
This flying debris of lava and molten metal possessed extremely high temperatures and kinetic energy.
It effortlessly pierced and melted human bodies, houses, plants, and animals.
The attack range of the Meteor Fireball Technique was several times larger than that of the Meteor Skill.
With such terrifying power, it could truly be called a "Minor Forbidden Curse."
