On December third, Li Wei received his paynt from the Xinghuo Literature Society, delivered through the Zui Wan Comrce Association.
His paynt for November totaled 140 Gold Coins.
Converted to Copper Coins, that was like earning a million a month.
The construction of Maple City was in full swing.
Gus sent the latest news: Otz had joined forces with Cold Moon City to move against Frozen Earth City.
Frozen Earth City had now been besieged by the Beixuan Kingdom’s army for half a month but was still holding out.
Otz was in no hurry, content to simply maintain the blockade on Frozen Earth City.
Frozen Earth City was isolated.
Located deep in the heartland of the Beixuan Kingdom, it was surrounded by enemies.
Its forr ally, the Macher Kingdom, didn’t dare to engage in a large-scale conflict with the Beixuan Kingdom, wary that the latter was still under the protection of a Divine Spirit.
They could only watch helplessly as Frozen Earth City remained under siege, powerless to send aid.
Even if they wanted to, they were incapable of helping.
The Beixuan Kingdom’s territories had beco a single, contiguous landmass.
Unless the Macher Kingdom could punch through the Beixuan Kingdom’s territory, they would have no choice but to abandon their ally, Frozen Earth City.
Gus predicted that Frozen Earth City wouldn’t hold out much longer and would soon surrender.
For now, Otz didn’t want to start a major battle, so he was simply surrounding the city without attacking.
His main focus was on developing Maple City.
Maple City was now the capital of the Beixuan Kingdom and was incredibly prosperous.
It would soon rival the capital of the Macher Kingdom.
According to Gus’s descriptions, every aspect of Maple City was flourishing.
Maple City was, in a way, a second ho to Li Wei.
Late at night, he would sotis find himself reminiscing.
On December ninth, Li Wei advanced his Invisibility Armor Spell to the Tier Three Perfection Level.
His thirty-six layers of Armor beca seventy-two layers.
It could now withstand two or three Tier Five teor Techniques.
When it ca to stacking Armor, for the ti being, no one was Li Wei’s match.
Li Wei estimated that if he could advance the Invisibility Armor Spell to Tier Four, he might be able to break through to a triple-digit number of Armor layers.
At that point, his Defense Power would beco even more terrifying.
Although the Invisible Armor’s Defense Power was high, Li Wei also understood that stacking Armor didn’t make him invincible.
Many types of Magic could bypass the Invisible Armor directly.
Spiritual Magic, Curse System Magic, and Soul Magic were all common types of Magic that could ignore a Shield.
For now, Li Wei had no good solution for this.
He could only try to find a way in the future, if possible, to evolve the Invisible Armor to have defensive capabilities against Spiritual, Soul, and Curse attacks.
「December tenth.」
Having learned that Li Wei was heading to the Fire Elental Plane, Valen personally escorted him to the Elental Tower.
Fang Lide was surprised to see Li Wei walking with Valen.
"Li Wei, is Master Valen your ntor?" Fang Lide asked.
Li Wei nodded. "Yes."
’He was a bit surprised by Fang Lide’s form of address; he hadn’t expected that even soone like him would call Valen "Master."’
Valen looked at Fang Lide and said, "Professor Fang Lide."
The two greeted each other.
’It seems they know each other, and their relationship is not a trivial one.’
Valen gave Li Wei so final instructions, telling him what he shouldn’t do in the Fire Elental Plane, before watching him walk into the Elental Tower.
The two n remained standing outside.
Fang Lide asked, sowhat surprised, "Didn’t you say you wouldn’t take any more disciples? Why did you choose to take Li Wei as one?"
Valen said, "It was a request from an old friend."
"An old friend?" Fang Lide looked at Valen, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Valen shook his head and turned to leave.
"You don’t know him, so don’t ask."
Fang Lide fell silent.
’For soone to make Valen go back on his own word, this "old friend" must have quite the background.’
He turned his head to look in the direction of the Elental Tower.
’Is there sothing special about Li Wei’s identity?’
Fang Lide returned to the Hall of Truth, found Li Wei’s file, and went over it again in detail.
He had read everything in it before but hadn’t noticed anything special.
Looking it over again, he noticed a na.
Torresta.
The na was unfamiliar, yet it also felt familiar.
Fang Lide was sure he didn’t know anyone nad Torresta.
’But I must have seen or heard the na sowhere before. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have this feeling of it being both strange and familiar.’
So, he asked soone to inquire about clues related to Torresta.
Li Wei entered the main hall of the Elental Tower and was led to the Seventh Floor.
This was the departure point for the Fire Elental Plane.
Including Li Wei, there were only five people in the group.
Two students from the Purple Level Class, and two senior instructors.
The spots had been decided long ago: three students from the Purple Level Class and two senior instructors.
Li Wei’s sudden addition had squeezed out one person’s spot.
That person would now have to wait until next year to go to the Fire Elental Plane.
One of the Purple Level Class students glanced at the Magic Badge on Li Wei’s chest, a look of astonishnt on his face.
"A Red Level Class student? What right does he have to take Escar’s spot?"
"I heard he got this chance because he made a particularly significant contribution to the Hall of Truth."
"What could a guy from the Red Level Class possibly do to make a significant contribution to the Hall of Truth?"
Although the two were curious about how Li Wei had managed it, they didn’t go looking for trouble with him.
After all, they were students of the Purple Level Class; it wasn’t their place to pick a fight with Li Wei.
So what if Escar’s spot was taken?
Besides, it was Escar who got pushed out. He could go make trouble for Li Wei himself.
They weren’t about to get involved in soone else’s business.
An Elder in a red-and-gold Mage Robe walked up to the group and said, "The Fire Elental Plane is extrely dangerous. Once you are there, do not use Magic carelessly. If you encounter danger, flee first. Fighting is the worst possible choice..."
"Alright, you’ve already been briefed on what needs to be said. Prepare for teleportation."
Li Wei’s heart tightened slightly.
The Elder activated the Cross-Plane Teleportation Array in the hall.
HUMMMMMMM!
Li Wei felt the surrounding Magic Elents fluctuate violently.
The next second, a spatial rift appeared in the center of the hall.
An intensely hot aura poured out from within the spatial rift.
On the other side was the Fire Elental Plane.
The two senior Tier Five instructors went first, followed by the two Purple Level Class students, with Li Wei at the very end.
After Li Wei stepped into the spatial rift, it closed behind him.
Darkness washed over him, and then Li Wei felt he had arrived in a completely new world.
He opened his eyes to the sight of an erupting volcano.
Flowing lava was everywhere, and Fire Elental Elves could be seen all around.
From the depths of the volcano ca an aura that made one tremble.
That was the aura of a Fire Elental Lord.
An ordinary Fire Elental Lord was a Tier Six monster.
A powerful Fire Elental Lord was a Legendary Monster.
In a volcanic environnt, a Fire Elental Lord was nigh-invincible, possessing infinite Power.
It wasn’t just the Fire Elental Lords that were greatly strengthened; throughout the entire Fire Elental Plane, the Power of all Fire Elental Elves and Fire Elent Magical Beasts was significantly enhanced.
This was also why the Elder had warned everyone to avoid combat whenever possible.
A Fire Elent Magical Beast that might be Tier Two in the Main World could unleash Tier Three combat strength here.
Of course, Fire Elent Magic was also strengthened here.
Li Wei could feel the highly active and concentrated Fire Elent in the air of the Fire Elental Plane.
’The power of Fire Elent Magic must be at least doubled here. But considering the monsters of the Fire Elental Plane all have extrely high Fire Resistance, even with double the power, Fire Elent Magic won’t have much of an advantage.’
RUMBLE!
Li Wei looked up to see the volcano erupting, sending lava rolling down its slopes.
The four people in front of him didn’t dodge. Instead, they advanced straight toward the lava flow.
’There’s treasure in the lava!’
