Chapter Thirty Breakthrough

  Chased by the second, rolling all over the ground, begging for recommendation votes in the icy snow...

  After the battle with Grian in Old Merlin, the Merlin family seemed to have suddenly calmed down, and along with the Merlin family, the alchemist of the Magic Guild also fell silent.

  As a pharmacist, Lin Li's identity was exposed in the strongest battle of Galos, and now half of Galos City knows that the Magic Association has a young pharmacist named Ferre who is not even twenty years old. Probably because the pharmacist's halo is too dazzling, many people have ignored that he is actually an eighth-level magician.

  Actually, it's nine levels.

  In the battle between Gruyère and Old Merlin, Lin learned too much.

  In the following days, he didn't step out of his house, not even to care about the auction of Ofa's medicine, but locked himself in the room, quietly thinking about every detail of that battle, and took out every sentence of curse and every gesture of the two people to study repeatedly.

  As early as when he left the Sunset Mountains, Lin Li had a faint feeling that he had encountered some kind of obstacle in his magical progress.

  It was a very strange feeling, as if something had been blocked up inside me.

  Although he practiced diligently every day and knew he had exceptional talent, that hurdle was just insurmountable.

  Very helpless and frustrated...

  But unfortunately, there was no other way out. All Lin Li could do was to practice more diligently and study various magic books more desperately, hoping to make up for everything with hard work.

  But such efforts have brought about an effect that is really disappointing.

  Every day, Lin Li practiced the arrangement of magic elements with all his might, and indeed, his mastery of magic elements had reached a very high level. He could even instantly cast a second-level magic impact water curtain, which was something that many mages above level 10 couldn't accomplish. His diligent study of various magic books also allowed him to gradually shed the embarrassing identity of a second-hand mage. At least most of the time, he didn't need to ask Kevin for help whenever something happened.

  But that ridge still exists...

  It's still that kind of powerless feeling, just like a big mountain standing in front of you, no matter how you walk around it.

  This situation had been going on for a long time until a few days ago, the strongest wizard battle outside of Emerald Tower in Gallos.

  In that battle, Lin Lixue really gained too many things.

  A direct conversation between two great mages is even more effective than a legendary mage's verbal teachings.

  Subtle control over magical elements, precise allocation of magic power, flexible application of various magics, and so on, not only opened Lin's eyes wide with wonder, but also brought him into contact with a world he had never imagined before.

  That feeling is just like a tightly closed big door suddenly opening wide.

  It was a refreshing feeling.

  It wasn't until now that Lin Li suddenly understood why Andu had said, back in the Sunset Mountains, that there was nothing more he could teach him. Some things just couldn't be described with words; you either got it or you didn't, no matter how much someone tried to explain. When magical power reached a certain level, language seemed to become pale and powerless; all the lectures in the world weren't as effective as actually fighting it out.

  The big mountain seemed to be loosening bit by bit, and Lin Li was completely in a state of excitement.

  For several days in a row, he locked himself in his room, with nothing but Gruyère and Old Merlin's battle on his mind.

  It wasn't until the fourth morning that he finally came out of his room.

  When Kevin saw him, Lin Li's eyes were already filled with bloodshot, and the whole person looked haggard and terrifying. But on such a weak and haggard body, Kevin only felt the word "strong".

  The first time Kevin saw Lin Li, he almost thought he had mistaken him for someone else.

  Although Lin Li was incredibly talented and had the hidden identity of a pharmacist, when he stood in front of Kevin, he never felt like he couldn't keep up. In some ways, Kevin even thought he was slightly better than this young magician.

  But now, just four days later, Kevin felt that Lin Li had already far surpassed him in magic.

  Some surprise, some disappointment...

  Spending the whole day with Lin Li, Kevin couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

  Among the young people in Galois City, Kevin is also considered a top-notch genius. He has been exposed to magic since he was sensible and became an eighth-level magician at the age of 25. This speed even made the proud Krenwell say a word of admiration. However, when facing Lin Li, this monster, his own genius suddenly became nothing. From knowing nothing to becoming an eighth-level magician, and then breaking through from eighth level to ninth level, it took only three months or so in total. What's the difference between such a person and a beast?

  "Good morning, Ferry."

  "Good morning, Kevin." After greeting him, Lin Li took Kevin to the level certification hall without saying another word.

  The light emitted by the crystal ball confirmed Kevin's previous guess, and Lin Li's current magic level had indeed broken through the 9th level, even reaching the pinnacle of the 9th level.

  Although he had mentally prepared himself beforehand, Kevin couldn't help but let out a sigh of frustration when he saw the light emanating from the crystal ball. This was simply too abnormal - a young man not yet twenty years old possessed a ninth-level peak magic level; all he needed to do was take one more step forward and he would reach the realm of Magic Master, the ultimate goal that every magician dreamed of!

  Probably only someone like Kevin, who has been educated in traditional magic since childhood, knows how many magicians have dreamed of becoming a magic conductor all their lives, and how many magicians have never achieved this dream. If they knew that a young man had approached the realm of magic conductors in just three months after coming into contact with magic, I don't know if they would be so ashamed that they would hit themselves to death...

  It's just as well that Kevin had gotten used to it, ever since he met Lin Li, this young mage had been creating miracles one after another, an unprecedented magical genius, a profound and mysterious master of potions, after being shocked time and again, Kevin had become somewhat numb to it all, even if one day Lin Li suddenly picked up a hammer and started forging iron by the furnace, Kevin would probably just mutter "monster" under his breath before lowering his head and continuing with what he was doing...

  "By the way Ferre, I heard from the guild people that someone came looking for you yesterday." Kevin suddenly remembered something after leaving the certification hall.

  "Looking for me?" Lin Li was slightly stunned. Besides the people from the Magic Guild, did he still have acquaintances in Galos?
