After the battle between Old Merlin and Gerian, the Merlin Family seemed to have fallen silent all of a sudden. Along with the Merlin Family, the pharmacists of the Guild of Magic were also silent.
Lin Li's identity as a pharmacist spread like wildfire with the battle of the strongest mages in Jarrosus City. Now most of Jarrosus City knew that there was a young pharmacist named Felic in the Guild of Magic. He was not even 20 years old this year. Perhaps because the halo of a pharmacist was too dazzling, many people had forgotten that he was actually a level-eight mage.
Well … he was actually level-nine.
Lin Li had learned too many things in the battle between Gerian and Old Merlin.
For the next few days, he did not step out of his room. He did not even have the time to care about the auction of the Arcane Magic Potion. He merely locked himself in his room and calmly thought about every little detail of the battle. Every spell and every gesture of the two men were taken out and studied repeatedly by Lin Li.
Early on when he left the Sunset Mountains, Lin Li had a vague feeling that he seemed to have encountered some kind of obstacle in his progress in magic.
It was a very strange feeling, as if it was blocked by something.
He had been practicing diligently every day, and knew that he had outstanding talent, but he just couldn't get over that hurdle.
He was helpless and aggrieved …
But there was no other way. All Lin Li could do was to practice more diligently and read all kinds of magic books even more desperately, hoping to make up for all this with diligence.
However, the results of such efforts were rather depressing.
Practicing the elemental sequencing with all his might every day really made Lin Li's mastery of magical elements reach a very high level. He could even instantly cast the level-two Impact Water Curtain, which was something that many Magic Shooters above level-ten could not do. Reading all kinds of magic books with all his might also gradually let him get rid of the awkward identity of a second-hand mage. At least most of the time, he didn't have to ask Kevin for advice whenever he encountered something.
But that hurdle still existed …
It was still that feeling of powerlessness, as if there was a huge mountain in front of him that he couldn't get around no matter how he walked.
This situation lasted for a long time until a few days ago, when the battle of the strongest mages of Jarrosus took place outside the Emerald Tower.
In that battle, Lin Li had gained too many things.
A direct conversation between two Archmages was even more effective than a Legendary-mage's teachings.
The subtle control of magical elements, the precise distribution of mana, and the flexible use of various spells were eye-opening to Lin Li. He was exposed to a world that he had never imagined before.
It was as if a tightly shut door had suddenly been opened.
It was a feeling of enlightenment.
It was only at this moment that Lin Li suddenly understood why Andoine had said that there was nothing more he could teach him when he was in the Sunset Mountains. There were some things that could not be described with words. If he understood it, he would understand it. If he didn't, he wouldn't understand it no matter what he said. When one's magical abilities reached a certain level, words seemed to be useless. No amount of preaching could compare to a real fight.
Feeling that the mountain was loosening bit by bit, Lin Li fell into a state of excitement.
He locked himself in his room for a few days, his mind filled with the battle between Gerian and Old Merlin.
It was not until the morning of the fourth day that he came out of his room.
When Kevin saw him, Lin Li's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked terribly haggard. But in such a weak and haggard person, Kevin only felt the word "powerful".
When he first saw Lin Li, Kevin almost thought he had recognized the wrong person.
Although Lin Li had superhuman talent in the past, and even had the hidden identity of a pharmacist, Kevin had never felt that he couldn't compete with him when he stood in front of him. In some aspects, Kevin even felt that he was slightly better than this young mage.
But now, only four days had passed, and Kevin felt that Lin Li had left him far behind in terms of magic.
He was a little surprised and a little disappointed …
Kevin couldn't help but feel disappointed being with a monster like Lin Li all day long.
Among the young people in Jarrosus City, Kevin was considered a genius second to none. He had been exposed to magic since he was sensible, and became a level-eight mage at the age of 25. Even the proud Cromwell had to admit that he was impressed by this speed. But in front of a monster like Lin Li, his genius suddenly became nothing. From ignorance to a level-eight mage, and then from level-eight to above level-nine, it had only been a little more than three months. What was the difference between such a person and a beast?
"Good morning, Felic."
"Good morning, Kevin." After greeting him, Lin Li pulled Kevin to the level certification hall without another word.
The light emitted by the crystal ball confirmed Kevin's previous guess. Lin Li's current magic level had indeed broken through level-nine, and even reached the peak of level-nine.
Although he had been mentally prepared, Kevin still sighed helplessly when he saw the light emitted by the crystal ball. This was too abnormal. A young man who was not even 20 years old had a magic level at the peak of level-nine. With just one more step, he could reach the realm of Magic Shooters that all mages dreamed of!
Perhaps only people like Kevin, who had grown up with traditional magic education, knew how many mages dreamed of becoming Magic Shooters their whole lives, and how many could not realize this dream. If they were to know that a young man who had only been exposed to magic for three months was already close to the realm of Magic Shooters, who knew if they would be so ashamed and resentful that they would bang their heads against the wall and die …
Fortunately, Kevin was used to it. Ever since he had met Lin Li, this young mage had been creating miracles. He was an unprecedented genius in magic and an enigmatic potion master. After being surprised time and time again, Kevin was more or less numb to it. Even if one day Lin Li suddenly picked up a hammer and stood by the stove to forge, Kevin felt that he would probably just mutter the word "monster" before lowering his head to do his own things …
"Oh, yes, Felic, I heard from the people in the guild that someone came to look for you yesterday." After coming out of the level certification hall, Kevin suddenly remembered something.
"Look for me?" Lin Li was slightly stunned. Did he know anyone in Jarrosus other than the people from the Guild of Magic?
