Chapter 216: Five Fireball Divine Cult

Anxiwodasi's other two students, named You Wei Er and Duo Luo Xi, are both very young; not yet thirty yet already high‑rank Wizards, truly geniuses among geniuses.

Across the entire Empire, such wizard prodigies are rare, which is why they were taken as disciples by a Holy Soul Wizard.

However, before Lei En, the two dare not show any arrogance or contempt.

The teacher's newly accepted student is not only a wealthy lord but also personally killed a legendary Wizard; in both power and status he far surpasses them, and the teacher held a solitary apprenticeship ceremony for him, showing great regard.

"Greetings, Count." the two Wizards said very formally.

"No need for such formality; just call me Lei En." Lei En showed sufficient respect while also observing them; their demeanor was intimate, clearly a couple.

In Ai Lun E Si, students under the same teacher have no titles like senior or junior brother, nor any notion of seniority.

The students still keep to themselves with each other.

Because of the teacher, they might become somewhat close, easily becoming friends or companions, but if the social gap is too wide, they usually remain rather distant.

Everything still comes down to strength.

Although Lei En entered last and his Wizard rank is the lowest, his reputation is widespread; he is a duly titled Count, and in Anxiwodasi's eyes his status is certainly above the two high‑rank Wizards, equal to Ao Xi Li Ya, and only below Korstted.

A simple exchange among the three already reflected the hierarchy.

Everyone present thought it natural.

After introducing the two fellow disciples, Ao Xi Li Ya proceeded to introduce Korstted's three students; their connection is a step farther, merely sharing the same direct lineage, so it was necessary to meet them.

Korstted has many students, over ten; the three before them are the most important.

The twelfth‑level legendary Wizard is named Xi Er Gai; the other two are also high‑rank Wizards, formidable in strength, and they all courted Lei En.

Lei En's expression remained unchanged as he greeted the three.

He secretly focused his attention on that female Wizard, named Fa Lin Na, whose soul glowed crimson while her face wore a full smile toward him.

If one lacked the Soul Eye, who could guess that she actually wanted his life!

"This woman hides too deeply."

Lei En made small talk with the few while carefully observing them.

As a student of Korstted, she launched an assassination on his very first day arriving at Fu Kong Cheng; whose orders lie behind this?

If she merely defected to a Mo Du noble and was secretly bought, the problem would be minor.

If she acted on Korstted's command…

Lei En found this thought frightening.

Korstted is the teacher's most trusted and strongest student; if even he betrayed, the consequences are unimaginable.

Moreover, the teacher sent him to Shield Island to investigate; it would be surprising if he uncovered the truth.

Using the Soul Eye, he examined Korstted's other two students; their soul colors were normal, showing no hostility toward him, neither cold nor warm.

"Perhaps I'm overthinking; it should be that Fa Lin Na was bought."

Lei En comforted himself, yet deep inside held another answer.

That day Fa Lin Na attempted to kill him with a tremendously powerful scroll that could instantly cast one each of the fourth, fifth, and sixth‑level spells, especially the escape 'Teleportation' that randomly transports the caster to a location within a hundred li; this is not the Weizelan badge's 'Portal', the two differ, yet it activated successfully, clearly the scroll's creator possessed extremely high clearance in Fu Kong Cheng.

Aside from the teacher, the highest clearance in Fu Kong Cheng belongs to the five Speakers.

This almost indicates the assassin was employed by one of the Speakers.

"Speaker Kai De Jia noticed this, so he didn't pursue further?" Lei En recalled Kai De Jia's words before departing, giving him a chance to talk with him…

"He was using the opportunity to remind me."

Lei En's mind cleared.

In a sudden shift of thought, after introductions were finished, Ao Xi Li Ya courteously led everyone away, leaving only Lei En with the teacher.

Anxiwodasi got straight to the point, fulfilling the teacher's duty, and asked, "Lei En, what level Wizard are you now?"

"Sixth level." Lei En answered truthfully.

"So fast!"

Anxiwodasi's face flashed with surprise, and he couldn't help exclaiming.

He took Lei En as a disciple, certainly having investigated him beforehand, even personally asking Duke Yin Xing about Lei En's background.

Duke Yin Xing told him everything he knew.

Lei En underwent his first Soul Transformation last year, becoming a Transcendent, and unexpectedly chose the path of a Battle Wizard.

Now, barely half a year later, Lei En has already risen to the sixth level!

Anxiwodasi has lived over a thousand years; what kind of genius hasn't he seen?

He has witnessed dozens, even hundreds of those touted as once‑in‑a‑century geniuses, but someone like Lei En, whose promotion is so astonishingly swift, is a first for him!

Even Duke Hong Shi Kai Er Si Tong's power boost wasn't so exaggerated.

He himself was even less capable back then.

Moreover, Lei En isn't merely a title; he has repeatedly demonstrated formidable strength.

First he slew the legendary Wizard Mai Ti Er, then in a direct clash nearly killed the legendary berserker Marquis Ji Liu, and together with Ao Xi Li Ya he fled from Lu Yin's subordinates.

Anxiwodasi suddenly realized that, as a Holy Soul Wizard perched so high and having endured many battles far beyond legendary level, he had regarded Lei En's few engagements as mere skirmishes.

He only later became aware, having constantly overlooked Lei En's strength.

Now, upon careful recollection, this youngster is truly remarkable.

In less than half a year, he transformed from an ordinary person into a Transcendent wielding legendary power!

No wonder when she asked Duke Yin Xing about Lei En yesterday, she seemed a bit reluctant, even saying she owed him a massive favor.

He is a once‑in‑a‑generation prodigy with Holy Soul Wizard potential!

Lei En sensed the teacher's gaze was odd, fearing suspicion, so he explained, "Teacher, I underwent a perfect Soul Transformation, so…"

Anxiwodasi's mouth twitched.

He also had a perfect Soul Transformation, completing the ceremony at ten and reaching sixth‑level Wizard at fifteen; how could the gap be so large compared to Lei En?

I understand.

Anxiwodasi steadied himself and said calmly, "A perfect Soul Transformation is indeed rare, but don't become overly proud. Before you ascend to Legendary, you are still only just leaving the starting point on the path of seeking knowledge and truth."

"Yes, Master," Lei En humbly accepted.

Anxiwodasi smiled and nodded, "You are a battle wizard, and I am an Elementalist of the Law Seal school; the difference is great, but it does not affect my instruction to you."

"You must have heard of the Mo Du school's doctrine, right?"

"Heard of it," Lei En replied. "When I first became a battle wizard, I decided to follow your casting doctrine."

"Not bad, you have good taste."

Anxiwodasi laughed, stroking his beard, "I've met Ouroin Master a few times; he is the founder of your battle wizards, his whereabouts are secret, even I don't know where he usually resides."

"In fact, when I compiled the Mo Du school's casting doctrine, I also borrowed the battle wizard's style—specializing in a few spells, enhancing their potency to achieve the desired outcome."

"Battle‑school wizards have few spells, so it certainly aligns with my doctrine."

"How many spells have you mastered now?"

Lei En hadn't actually counted, so he opened his phone interface, quickly tallied, and replied, "Master, I have eight spells."

"That's considerably more than I expected," Anxiwodasi said, surprised.

They know battle wizards well.

Battle wizards below Legendary usually first fuse demon souls bearing the Physical Element to boost close‑combat power; even at level nine they typically have only five or six spells.

Lei En has just reached level six; his melee power rivals that of a Legendary berserker, yet he can wield eight spells—how does he manage that?

Anxiwodasi was curious, but did not press further.

The demon soul each transcendent fuses is the greatest secret; even a Master may not ask about it casually.

"Tell me which spells, and I'll give you some guidance."

"Very well, Master." Lei En did not conceal anything, listing them one by one: "Dragon Power Spell, Rainbow Light Ray, Thorny Electric Armor, Electric Blast Orb, Thunderclap Spell, Electric Flash Teleport, Static Field, Lightning Arc."

He not only recited the spell names but also the current ring count for each.

Anxiwodasi listened, nodding repeatedly; Lei En's repertoire was impressive. "All solid spells. Cast each one for me."

"Here, then?" Lei En glanced at the plainly decorated room.

"Hmm." Anxiwodasi raised a hand, and an invisible force field instantly formed, enveloping the whole room and coating everything with a translucent shield.

Then Lei En cast all the spells one by one.

First was the Rainbow Light Ray; a beam as thick as an arm struck the wall but caused no damage.

The scorching Electric Blast Orb detonated in the room, thunderous lightning, blinding light, yet left not a trace.

Anxiwodasi kept shaking their head.

"Except the Rainbow Light Ray has some form, your other spells are too crude, cast purely on instinct; your understanding of the spells is essentially zero, no different from mindless demons."

Lei En felt somewhat ashamed.

The Rainbow Light Ray is decent because he consulted Oxi Liyah, so his control is excellent and the casting feels natural.

The other spells truly are cast purely on instinct.

That's unavoidable; he's been a transcendent for too short a time, constantly on the move, with little time to study spells, and no one to mentor him.

"Master, what does truly understanding and mastering a spell look like?" Lei En asked curiously.

"Watch."

Anxiwodasi lifted a hand, palm upward.

A fireball formed in his hand; in an instant it swelled to head size, a near‑perfect sphere. The flames on its surface flowed like water, slow and substantial, extremely stable, orange‑red in color, yet no heat leaked out.

The fireball hovered in his hand, neither exploding nor being launched.

A few seconds later, Anxiwodasi curled a finger and gave a light flick.

The fireball shot out at extreme speed; even Lei En's eyesight barely kept up, and a series of after‑images streaked across his vision.

The fireball seemed to teleport, appearing on the opposite wall before detonating.

Boom!

A terrifying explosion roared in his ears, deafening; the shockwave carried towering flames as if a sea of fire surged forward, then was blocked by the force field.

The power of this fireball spell far exceeded Lei En's expectations, giving him a huge fright.

"It's just a normal Three‑Ring Fireball Spell," Anxiwodasi said.

Lei En stared dumbfounded; his rune book also recorded the Three‑Ring Fireball Spell, but the power differed by more than tenfold—almost matching the Five‑Ring Flame Explosion Spell!

Moreover, the Master's fireball casting speed is bullet‑like.

If one were hit by such a fireball, it would be nearly impossible to dodge; even a Tier‑3 Iron Body couldn't withstand several detonations.

Anxiwodasi said, "This is extreme‑effect casting, a supermagic technique that extracts a spell's maximum power."

"Our Mo Du school's doctrine pursues spell potency; extreme‑effect casting must be mastered."

Lei En nodded; he knows extreme‑effect casting.

This supermagic technique is hard to learn; one must fully master a spell's principle and understand it thoroughly. Before extreme‑effect casting, there is strong‑effect casting, which has lower requirements.

Anxiwodasi continued, "The Mo Du school's three most important supermagic techniques are extreme‑effect casting, strong‑effect casting, and quick casting."

Speaking, they raised a hand toward the wall.

In an instant, fireballs materialized between the fingers, each instant‑cast, then launched.

Because the fireballs formed so quickly, the interval was minuscule; as soon as one fired, the next was already formed, dozens linking together like a string of pearls.

Boom—boom—boom—boom—boom…

Each fireball spell was a Three‑Ring, all extreme‑effect casting, a cascade of pearl‑linked blasts, the explosions merging into one roar!

It reminded Lei En of the continuous barrage from a rocket‑launcher vehicle in his past life, firing nonstop each second, saturating the enemy with bombardment.

The entire room filled with flame, firelight soaring upward, as if standing inside a molten furnace.

The invisible force field blocked the bombardment of dozens of high‑efficiency fireball techniques, yet it remained completely still, not even a trace of heat could be felt.

When the explosion subsided, Anxiwodasi said, "The final super magical technique is multiple casting."

With a raise of the hand, five fireball techniques appeared simultaneously.

They hovered in mid‑air for a few seconds, then another five fireball techniques formed.

Ten, fifteen, twenty!

Every second five more fireballs were added, until it stopped at twenty‑five, like lanterns of cannon bubbles floating, beginning to dance, like celestial maidens scattering flowers; each fireball's trajectory was different, without pattern, yet they never collided, and finally all landed on the same point and exploded.

Boom!

Lei En instinctively covered his ears, closed his eyes, and the whole room gave a slight tremor; the invisible force field was finally blasted into ripples, yet it remained solid.

He stared dumbfounded, shocked by the fireball technique's power and amazed by the force field's defensive strength.

Is this the power of a Holy Soul Wizard?

A three‑ring fireball technique producing so many variations is like a humanoid bomber!

Lei En looked eagerly at Anxiwodasi and shouted, "Teacher, teach me!"
