Limitations of Fire Spells

"Kid, you have many problems. Your combat experience and methods are as green as a beginner's."

Facing Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's criticism, Chen Yi humbly accepted.

The Charmander beside him widened its eyes. It only then realized that this seemingly kind old man and its Trainer were so strong.

The Charmander secretly cheered itself on, vowing not to lose to its Trainer.

"When you're weak, ambushing is a good choice, but it shouldn't be your primary method. It will make you indulge in a false sense of power."

"Secondly, regarding attack methods, don't limit yourself to Fireball. Flames have no fixed shape."

Chen Yi found this point difficult. The essence of Fireball was to construct a framework in his mind and then use mana to guide the Fire Elemental Particles present in the air.

Changing the shape of the flame would require altering the composition of the framework, which seemed beyond the capabilities of a novice Mage like himself.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto only offered guidance, not his methods. Only what one understood for oneself was truly suitable.

"There's still plenty of time. Let's start training."

"A strong person cannot have obvious weaknesses!"

Instead of receiving guidance on flame manipulation from Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, Chen Yi began melee training.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's requirement wasn't for Chen Yi to learn Swordsmanship or hand-to-hand combat, but to learn to Control His Body to face combat, master balance, and thus dodge attacks on the battlefield.

Watching his Trainer train, the Charmander spontaneously joined in.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto intentionally or unintentionally guided the Charmander.

A fulfilling hour ended with training. Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto couldn't teach Chen Yi much more in such a short time.

More of it needed to be mastered through Chen Yi's own training.

However, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto had already helped Chen Yi a lot with various methods for physical training, combat response techniques, and most importantly... learning how to escape.

His previous confusion about some aspects of Effortless Meditation regarding the body began to be understood in a new light.

After not summoning Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, the Training Mode price dropped to 100 Copper Coin/hour.

Even so, the vast majority of Players had never used this function.

After spending four hours in the Arena, Chen Yi left with the Charmander. After a simple dinner, the Charmander began to yawn intermittently. Today's training intensity had been very high for it.

Chen Yi stroked the Charmander's head. At this moment, it forgot its tsundere nature and unconsciously nuzzled against him.

Chen Yi amusedly recalled the Charmander into its Poké Ball and went alone to the Library.

Teacher Cat was still in its usual state of sleeping, a nocturnal lifestyle Chen Yi couldn't comprehend.

The library's construction is unknown, and it houses all sorts of books, covering warriors, ninjas, assassins...

There are dozens of versions on mages, originating from different worlds.

However, without exception, mages' spells come from the control of elemental particles.

Furthermore, the true damage of high-level fire spells doesn't come from the flames themselves, but more from the physical impact of the explosion.

For example, the high-level fire spell Doomsday Judgment—summoning a meteor swarm to impact.

The high temperature of the meteor swarm is actually secondary; the real damage is caused by the meteors' descent and explosion.

The fire spell Hellfire Gate, the fire spell Meteor Fall, are all related to explosions, with the flame's temperature taking a backseat.

Mages haven't failed to consider increasing the flame's temperature from other aspects, such as bringing Fire Elemental Particles into their mana during meditation, slightly increasing the temperature of fire spells.

Or perhaps researching other systems to use flames, creating specific organs within the mage's body.

But the effects were not ideal. Compared to the increase from explosions, the flame temperature increase was too slow.

Chen Yi rubbed his slightly swollen eyes. These were not the methods he wanted to pursue.

The future of fire mages is bleak.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

Forget it, I'll finish reading the apprentice books first.

Some simple spells don't require buying specialized skill books; these books contain the corresponding methods, players just need to memorize and master them.

Earth Mage's Earth Wall, Wind Mage's Wind Blade, Water Mage's Water Cannon, Ice Mage's Ice Shard, Lightning System's Electric Shock...

Chen Yi memorized all the basic skills for all attributes, not to use them in combat, but to deal with different situations or for convenience in daily life.

For the next week, Chen Yi maintained a routine: the arena in the morning, the library in the afternoon, and returning home at 10:30 PM.

With the continuous replenishment of mage knowledge, Chen Yi slowly emerged from being an apprentice. He now had the qualifications to call himself a mage.

One day, in the arena.

Chen Yi leaned back, and a seat made of soil suddenly rose from the empty space. The Earth Wall, originally used to block flying attacks like arrows, was modified by Chen Yi to summon a chair.

With the Spell Analysis skill, he had unparalleled talent in analyzing spell structures.

Physical training continued, but his magic had hit a bottleneck.

The library only contained basic skills for each element; anything beyond that was outside its collection scope.

After gaining 500 Mana Points last time, Chen Yi was no longer someone who emptied his mana in less than 10 seconds. He began to consider learning new skills.

Because of his innate talent, he naturally prioritized Fire Skills.

However, as mentioned before, Fire Mage skills were just an upgrade from small fireballs to big fireballs, which didn't have any special use for Chen Yi.

Chen Yi had also considered learning non-mage skills, such as the Great Fire Annihilation from the previous reward. He had seen this skill on player stalls.

Unlike the rewards from the Game World, this skill was restricted to Ninjas. The skill book recorded the rapid circulation of Chakra and hand seals.

Unwilling to give up, he found other Fire Skills.

[Fire Blade]

Quality: Green

Covers the weapon with Fire Attribute Qi, dealing additional Fire Attribute damage. At high levels of mastery, it can also unleash Fire Attribute blade energy.

Restriction: Fire Attribute Qi players can learn.

[Unknown Dance · Phoenix Mist]

Quality: Green

A special Fire Attribute martial skill. Fire damage is related to internal energy consumption.

Restriction: Fire Attribute Warrior players.

Not just these two. After browsing player stalls for a whole day, he didn't find any suitable skills. Instead, he casually bought himself a weapon.

[Spark Staff]

Quality: Green

Physical Attack: 10-12

Magic Attack: 27-34

Durability: 17/17

Effect: Has a chance to add an extra fireball attack upon striking.

Level: 15

Evaluation: Engraving Fireball into the staff? A genius's Idea.

Although Chen Yi encountered a bottleneck, Charmander did not.

Through days of training, although Charmander's level hadn't increased, its Base Stats changed daily.

After accepting the rule changes of the Game World, even Pokémon couldn't change the law that experience points are required to level up.
