Quick Casting for Fire Element Magic.

Simple and easy to understand. No further explanation needed.

Fire Element Magic consumption halved.

It was practically a divine skill, effectively doubling Li Wei’s Mana.

However, the reduced consumption only applied to normal Casting.

For charged casting, the Mana cost remained the same.

At most, the charge limit could be increased by the amount of Mana saved.

Mana Control Level +1.

Li Wei was already a Tier Two Mage, and now his Mana Control ability was equivalent to that of a Tier Three Mage.

The bonus was simple and brutal.

He could now do things that only a Tier Three Mage could do.

Casting Level +1.

Casting Level was related to the difficulty of casting a spell.

A Tier Two Mage usually had a Casting Level of Tier Two, meaning they could cast Tier Two Spells normally.

Trying to cast Tier Three Magic would be difficult.

Not impossible, just difficult, with a very low success rate.

A +1 to his Casting Level meant that even though Li Wei was a Second Level Mage, he could now cast Tier Three Magic normally.

He was practically invincible!

The only thing limiting him now was his Mana capacity.

Paired with the halved consumption of Fire Element Magic from his Fire Elemental Body...

This meant Li Wei could very well cast Tier Three Fire Element Magic!

And with the Power bonus to Fire Element Magic from the Fire Elemental Body...

Tier Three Fire Element Magic in his hands would rival the Power of Tier Four Fire Element Magic.

Li Wei was instantly stunned.

Not long ago, he had been envious of Allen’s powerful Tier Four Spell.

He never imagined that in the blink of an eye, he too would be able to wield such immense Power.

’I can learn Tier Two and Tier Three Magic now.’

Li Wei wondered which spells he should learn.

「That night, in the Dream World.」

Li Wei delved deeper into understanding his Middle Level Fire Elemental Body.

Relying on his Middle Level Mana Control Ability, he discovered he could control the Fire Elemental Spirit within his body.

With a thought.

The Fire Elemental Spirit inside him stirred.

Flames ignited all over Li Wei’s body.

Suddenly, the flames began to burn violently out of control, turning him into a living torch.

WHOOSH!

"Ugh!"

Li Wei grunted, hastily extinguishing the flames and suppressing the Power.

’Good thing this is the Dream World,’ he thought. ’Otherwise, it would have been difficult to suppress that rampant Power.’

After activating the Fire Elemental Spirit, Li Wei’s body showed signs of Elementalization.

But because his Fire Elemental Body’s Level was too low, he didn’t possess enough of the Fire Elemental Spirit.

He couldn’t achieve full-body Elementalization.

Ultimately, this caused the Fire Element in his body to run rampant, resulting in spontaneous combustion.

’A High Level Fire Elemental Body allows for Elementalization. With my Middle Level Mana Control Ability, I should be able to use that ability ahead of my Level.’

’But due to my current strength, I can’t achieve full-body Elementalization yet.’

Having thought it through, Li Wei more or less understood.

He then began to attempt Half-Elementalization.

He started with his right hand.

He focused the Fire Elemental Spirit in his body into his right hand and activated its Power.

His right hand gradually turned into Fire Element.

BANG!

His right hand exploded in a spray of flames and flesh.

Li Wei let out a bloodcurdling scream and quickly used his Dream Power to restore it to its original state.

"Hahh... hahh... hahh..."

Li Wei gasped for air. Although his injuries were healed, the phantom pain still lingered in his mind.

’Mastering Elementalization ahead of schedule really isn’t easy.’

’But that’s precisely what makes it so valuable and meaningful to master.’

Once elementalized, a Mage could circumvent their greatest weakness—a frail body.

This was one of the very few ways a Mage could compensate for their physical vulnerability.

Li Wei desperately coveted this ability.

He repeatedly tried to elementalize his body.

Thanks to his powerful control, which was on par with a Tier Three Mage’s...

After a whole night of effort, Li Wei successfully grasped the knack of elementalizing his right hand.

He was still a long way from true Elementalization.

But he had taken the first step. As long as he kept going, he would surely reach the end.

「At dawn, Li Wei exited the Dream World.」

He tried to elementalize his right hand in his room.

He felt a little nervous.

Although he had succeeded many times in the Dream World with almost no mistakes...

He was still tense.

If his hand exploded in reality, he couldn’t just repair it with a thought like in the Dream World.

Li Wei cautiously activated the Power of his Fire Elemental Body.

Starting from his fingertips, his right hand slowly underwent Fire Elementalization.

It finally transformed into a fiercely burning Flame Hand.

The Flame Hand possessed the same characteristics as a Fire Elemental Elf—extremely high Fire Resistance and immunity to physical attacks.

Its utility wasn’t that great, but it was an excellent start.

After all, Li Wei was a Mage. It wasn’t his job to engage in close combat, swinging his right hand to punch people.

Its significance outweighed its practical use.

"Hahaha, I did it!"

"The first step is elementalizing my right hand. Sooner or later, I’ll be able to elementalize my whole body."

Li Wei deactivated the Power of his Fire Elemental Body, and his right hand returned to normal.

Watching the seamless transformation between flesh and Element, with almost no abnormalities...

Li Wei found it incredible.

’Is the world really made of the four elements: earth, wind, water, and fire?’

’Is the essence of flesh and Element the same?’ 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Li Wei mused internally.

He was once again reminded of the God Particle theory from his past life.

The God Particle is the most fundamental, indivisible particle that makes up the world.

If the world were a giant set of building blocks, the God Particle would be the smallest, most basic block.

These blocks stack layer by layer, exhibiting different properties, thus becoming various substances: metal, earth, air, organic matter... and fire, frost, lightning, light...

The God Particle constitutes not only matter but also energy: thermal, wind, light, kinetic, internal...

Light has wave-particle duality.

Perhaps the God Particle possesses an energy-matter duality.

It is both energy and matter.

The mass-energy equivalence formula reveals the relationship between matter and energy.

This proves the mass-energy duality of the God Particle.

If the Elements were the God Particle...

Then to master the Elements would be to master the world.

To master the Elements of one’s entire body would be to master one’s own lifespan and all change.

And to master all the Elements in the world... would be to become an omniscient, omnipotent, all-powerful god.

Li Wei’s thoughts drifted, contemplating other matters.

There are four fundamental forces in the world, and coincidentally, the world is also composed of four fundamental elements.

In a sense, it is these four forces that constitute the world.

This perfectly aligns with the understanding of Mages in this world.

Perhaps this is no coincidence.

But rather, the essence of every world.

Mastering all the Elements means mastering the grand unified theory.

Mastering the entire world.

Time, space, past, future.

Everything would be under his control.

This again returns to the realm of an all-powerful god.

Li Wei reined in his wandering thoughts.

It was a beautiful vision.

But he was still a very, very long way from realizing it.

Even if he understood the principle, he might never be able to reach that stage.

Everything has its limits.

And humans have their limits.

Perhaps humanity is fundamentally incapable of reaching that level.

Li Wei looked up at the sky.

’Are the gods at that level?’

’Or perhaps... it’s a dimension beyond even the Divine Spirits!’
