Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 142: Denied Theory
"Thunder City?"

Ding Yumian heard the name of the city that Li Yu blurted out and repeated it in confusion. She had vaguely heard of that prosperous coastal city, but she didn't know why Li Yu mentioned it.

"Back then, the senior who was the victim of the lightning disaster a thousand years ago mentioned that he left a gift for me in Thunder City and asked me to pick it up when I reached the third level of the advanced rank."

Well, an old senior who looks so venerable wouldn't be joking with him, right? Now Li Yu could only pray that he could successfully get the gift, and even more pray that the gift could help him break through to the super level, otherwise, the hard work of the past two years would be in vain.

"Senior victim?"

A hint of envy flashed in Ding Yumian's eyes. Why didn't her predecessor in the Psychic Department have this backup plan? Should she also research some backup plans in the future to ensure that the next victim like herself would not repeat the same mistake?

"So you're planning on going over right away?"

Ding Yumian asked.

Li Yu shook his head, of course.
"It will take more than half a year."

Li Yu's lightning system has not yet reached its peak, his wind system also needs the Milky Way to break through to a higher level, and his space system still needs practice.

In addition to clearing the obstacles for the thunder element to advance to the super level, Li Yu also needs to investigate the situation in Thunder City to ensure that he does not end up running around like a headless fly.

It will take at least half a year to complete this series of tasks.

"Then take me with you then?"

"what?"

Li Yu, who was immersed in his own thoughts, was suddenly awakened by these words, and in a blink of an eye he saw Ding Yumian's serious expression with a smile.

"Senior is going too?"

Ding Yumian nodded.
"In another half a year, my spiritual system will probably reach the third level. Blindly practicing hard is not a solution. It would be better for me to go to the South China Sea with you."

"I think……"

Ding Yumian tilted her cute little head and said harmlessly:
"I think you won't reject a high-level third-level Psychic Mage."

Li Yu shook his head like a rattle.

"Of course not. I'd love to."

He had a hunch that Ding Yumian was now an unstoppable presence for him. Moreover, as an elemental mage, he really needed a psychic master like Ding Yumian to help him deal with hidden arrows from all directions and possible accidents.

"Okay, then it's settled!"

Ding Yumian clapped his hands, pulled the confused Li Yu up from the sofa, and pushed him into the bathroom.

"Ah, ah, ah, what does this mean, Senior?"

"Go take a shower first and change your mood. Then we'll go out for dinner. Xingli has already booked a table."

"Then my clothes..."

"Let me help you get your clothes."

"This...this, this, this..."

Li Yu began to speak incoherently. Is this something that can be handled by others?

Ding Yumian's attitude was unexpectedly tough.
"Don't waste time, just listen to me."

"..."

.........

Imperial capital, the Forbidden City.

A magical organization named after a centuries-old building complex in China. Just as its location suggests, this magic organization that was born out of the ancient court magic group is now the most powerful magic force exclusive to China.

As the supreme magic organization in China, the status of the Forbidden City in China cannot be matched even by the East China Sea Magic Association, which is directly affiliated with the Asian Magic Association.

On this day, Pang Lai, the chief mage of the Forbidden City, was teaching his disciple Jiang Yu carefully in his residence. At this moment, a member of the Forbidden City walked in hurriedly.

Seeing the outsider coming in, the experienced Jiang Yu skillfully took his leave, leaving enough space for the councillor and Pang Lai to talk.

"Old Pang, good news, good news."

When the congressman saw Panglai, he smiled so hard that the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together.

Pang Lai felt relieved when he saw this.
"What good news makes a fourth-level super-class palace councillor like you smile like this? Why did the Earth Core appear out of nowhere?"

"The core of the earth does not have it."

The congressman shook his head, but soon regained his smile.
"But this thing is much more important than a core of the earth." "Oh?"

Pang Lai immediately became interested. The Core of the Earth was a divine object that could give birth to the supreme forbidden spell for the country, and the thing the other party was talking about was actually more important than the Core of the Earth?
"If I say that this thing or theory can reduce the death rate of mages in our country by more than 30%, how do you think its effect compares to the Core of the Earth?"

"A 30% reduction?"

Pang Lai's eyes widened, and his old body instantly became full of vitality. He took two steps at a time and came to the councillor, saying in disbelief:

"Are you telling the truth?"

Pang Lai knew very well what a 30% reduction in the mortality rate meant. This would increase the power of Chinese mages by 30%. How could this be compared to a disposable item like the Core of the Earth?
"Do you still remember the demonization experiment that the military conducted?"

Just when Pang Lai was excited, the councillor suddenly said, and the former's face suddenly fell.

"Don't tell me which idiot is going to restart this experiment again!"

With the lessons of the past still fresh in his mind, Pang Lai would never agree to such an inhumane and extremely crazy experiment.

"Of course not. If you don't believe me, why don't you see it with your own eyes?"

As he spoke, the congressman took out a thick document from the space beside him. He was obviously a space mage with profound cultivation.

"Theory of magic energy enhancement? Thesis?"

Pang Lai glanced at the title on the cover, his expression froze, and at the same time his eyes lit up. The paper was good. At least it had experimental cases and data to support it. It was much better than the crappy experimental plan that had nothing to do except for the grand goal.

Without paying attention to the presence of his old friend, Pang Lai started reading on the spot. For the next half hour, the whole yard was filled with Pang Lai's voices of "Great", "So that's how it is", "It can actually be done this way", "Not bad, it works"...

When Pang Lai put down his paper, he immediately grabbed the congressman's shoulder.

"Who is the author of this paper? Which master in the theoretical magic world is he? Where is he now?"

The councillor did not answer, but said:

"It seems that Lao Pang, you agree with the author's opinion?"

"Why can't we accept this? There are theories, data, and existing experimental cases. Since they are right, we should believe them."

Panglai was confused.

"Why are you acting so weird today?"

"Oh, by the way, which journal was this paper published in? The Magic Association doesn't seem to have any corresponding news recently."

Generally, such novel theories involving magicians would be recorded by the Magic Association, and after verification, they would be distributed to various places for promotion and application. However, as the chief of the court, Panglai had no news at all, which was very abnormal.

The congressman had a hint of sarcasm on his face.
"What if I say this theory is denied by the East Sea Magic Association?"

"negative?"

Pang Lai came back to his senses and frowned:

“Is there something wrong with this theory or this paper?”

"Neither. The problem lies with the author of this paper."

"author?"

"This author is an ordinary person, not a wizard."

……

Bo City, Shi family manor.

A young man with disheveled hair was eating at the table like a starving ghost. He ate everything at such a speed that the Devourer changed his name to the Stomachless Beast overnight. The old butler, who was still as tall as ever, had a flash of heartache in his eyes and could not help but comfort him:

"Master, please don't be angry. I have already submitted your theory to the Imperial Court through the councillors I cooperated with at the time. I believe they will not let the pearl be buried in the dust."

"Ha!" Shi Liang put down his bowl, his smile was cold.
"Don't worry, Grandpa Chen. I won't be bothered by the trivial matters of the East China Sea Magic Association."

"Just now I was just hungry due to the long experiment, and this is a necessary means to replenish energy."

"As for the East Sea Magic Association..."

"It's directly under the Asian Magic Association, so it's normal for them to be a little arrogant."

"However, since they are so high and mighty and use their status as mages to look down on me, that's fine~"

"I want to see, after I crack their core technology, how can the so-called Magic Association still have the nerve to confront me?"
