Chapter 121 The Return of Theron
Although Li Ang had some premonition, he still couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed after receiving a definite reply from his mentor, Eve.
But he quickly adjusted his mindset and bowed to his mentor, Eve.
"I understand, thank you, mentor."
Li Ang expressed his sincere gratitude, his heart filled with thanks to his mentor, Eve. After all, Eve had always been very concerned about his affairs and had given him the invaluable [All-Purpose Elixir].
No matter what, he would never give Eve a hard time.
It was nearly dusk when Li Ang left his mentor Eve's living room. After a quick dinner at the cafeteria, he returned to his dormitory.
He carefully put away the blueprints and sat down at his desk to think about his next steps.
After some thought, he made up his mind that it seemed he could only put the matter of the syringes aside for the time being.
Fortunately, Elisa's eye condition has stabilized and will not continue to deteriorate, so delaying it for a while longer won't cause any problems.
In contrast, the increasingly dangerous situation recently has fueled Li Ang's desire to further enhance his own strength.
So he took out the gray quill pen and a thick stack of parchment and began copying the "Secondary Spellbook".
As the pen scratched away, the details and experiences of level two spells flowed into his spiritual world like rivers flowing into the sea.
However, as Li Ang delved deeper into copying, he also clearly felt an invisible barrier. Even with the comprehension boost from the quill pen, it was still extremely difficult for him to master spells of attributes other than wind and water.
He could barely master level 0 basic spells, such as [Arc] and [Firework], thanks to his strong mental strength and understanding of the nature of energy, but anything beyond that was extremely difficult.
When he was copying the first-level spellbook before, he vaguely sensed the importance of elemental affinity in learning spells.
This feeling became even clearer after copying the second-level spellbook this time.
If the difficulty of mastering level two spells of the wind and water elements with elemental affinity is considered as one, then the difficulty of level two spells of other attributes, such as lightning, fire, and earth, suddenly soared to a terrifying level of nearly one hundred in his perception.
Li Ang felt that without attribute affinity, no matter how well he understood the principles and techniques of casting spells, he would not be able to cast spells.
To put it simply, even if you understand the structure of an engine perfectly, you cannot use water to ignite it instead of gasoline.
"So it seems that elemental affinity is indeed an insurmountable hurdle on the path of a wizard," Li Ang put down his quill and rubbed his throbbing temples.
He was not discouraged. After all, he was already powerful enough to master the wind and water elements, not to mention that he also possessed his own self-created Reincarnation Technique.
And so, he immersed himself in the ocean of magic, tirelessly copying and comprehending it, until after 3 a.m., when he finally stopped writing, yawning and still feeling unsatisfied.
Lying on the bed, Li Ang could clearly feel that the five stars in his spiritual world were more solid and active than before, and even their rotation speed had increased slightly.
"It seems I'm about to break through?" Li Ang thought to himself, and with a hint of anticipation, he fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning was also the last day of the enforcement team's holiday.
After finishing the potion class on the fifth floor, Li Ang returned to his dormitory and continued to immerse himself in copying and comprehending the spellbook.
He was completely focused, immersing himself in the construction and expansion of the stars in his spiritual world. The faint feeling of breaking through the bottleneck became clearer and clearer, as if he were only separated by a thin layer of window paper, which could be pierced at any moment.
After a day and a night of copying and meditation, Li Ang opened his eyes and murmured:
"It's still a little short—" Li Ang rubbed his temples, letting out a long sigh. There was little point in continuing to copy and meditate.
He is currently lacking an opportunity, a chance to get promoted.
Never mind—I should go to sleep first; I'll be on patrol again tomorrow.
The next morning, the Eighth Squad's short leave came to an end, and Li Ang and his men dressed up again and began their routine aerial patrol mission.
Under a clear blue sky, Li Ang looked down at the familiar outline of Riley City, feeling the gentle breeze on his face, though weakened by the [Gentle Breeze Barrier]. His emotions gradually calmed down.
This mission of flying in the sky allows him to temporarily escape from his chaotic thoughts.
Halfway through the patrol mission, a small black dot appeared on the distant horizon and rapidly approached Riley City.
As the distance between the two sides closed, the streamlined, dark hull and striking gun barrels became clear, revealing that it was a gunboat called "Hunter" heading towards the Wizard's Tower.
"It's Deacon Seronster and the others who are back."
Captain Eric sent a brief message through his badge, his tone tinged with seriousness.
It seems the final investigation results of the Stormmountain incident are about to be revealed.
After completing their patrol mission and returning to their base for a short rest, Captain Eric and Leon were summoned to the conference room located in the upper echelons of the Elementalist School.
Pushing open the heavy conference room door, a solemn atmosphere instantly enveloped the two of them.
At the head of the long conference table sat two figures dressed in black robes, one of whom was Deacon Celons.
The other one, according to Li Ang's speculation, is probably the rumored Professor Diana, right?
This was the first time Leon had met this powerful witch, rumored to be second only to the faction leader in strength and vying with Seronst for the position of the next faction leader.
Her image is striking; a tight-fitting black robe accentuates her robust physique, and she appears to be about 2.4 meters tall. Sitting there, she resembles a steadfast volcano.
Her long, wavy, fiery red hair was loose, and a pair of huge, spiraling black horns were coiled menacingly on her forehead.
Her eyes were a pair of crimson vertical pupils, like the eyes of a dragon, and they were now scanning over with a scrutinizing look.
That gaze made Li Ang's heart pound instantly, a sense of dread stemming from his biological instincts surged up his spine, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
But Li Ang knew that it wasn't a deliberate pressure directed at him, but rather a kind of instinctive suppression at a life level.
In contrast, the Seronst, sitting next to her, though equally imposing, appeared somewhat petite in comparison to Diana's striking presence.
The meeting room was now full of people. In addition to the two black-robed deacons, there were seven or eight senior wizards in blue robes and more than ten green-robed formal wizards. Only Li Ang was wearing a brown robe.
After Li Ang and Eric found an empty seat, Deacon Celons slowly spoke: "Everyone's here, so let's begin."
