My health recovery is incredibly fast.

The feeling of being in control of dangerous things is truly intoxicating.

Xia Zuo couldn't help but reach out his left hand and try to touch the fireball.

The flame brushed against my fingertips, the burning sensation was brief and intense, but it wasn't pain; rather, it was a slight, tingling pleasure.

The health regeneration data in my mind changed slightly.

..

180/180 (mild poisoning)

[Base Health Regeneration Speed]

45 points/hour

[Real-time Health Regeneration Speed]

45-40 → 5 points/hour

..

Slight contact with the flames is no longer enough to make the healing speed negative!

A bold idea flashed through Xia Zuo's mind!

If we maximize the healing speed and fire resistance, wouldn't it theoretically achieve immunity to fire damage?

There's absolutely no need to worry about accidentally injuring yourself when casting fire spells.

In the future, it will accommodate enough fire and earth elements, and increase the power of fire spells. In battle, fireballs can be thrown wildly, burning everything, while the caster remains unharmed.

Wow, that's something to look forward to.

Uh... I'll have to prepare spare clothes beforehand, or maybe I should just spend points to buy an indestructible robe to cover myself up...

As Xia Zuo imagined future scenes, he lightly touched the flames, and a tingling pleasure returned.

About half a minute later, a slight twitch suddenly came from my mind, and a feeling of exhaustion grew in my heart.

Maintaining the Fireball spell consumes a lot of energy.

With a thought, Xia Zuo faced the metal target at the edge of the training room, flipped his right arm, palm facing forward, and the fireball in his hand flew toward the target with a trailing tail.

A crisp "bang!" rang out in the training room.

The black sphere inside the flame collided with the target, scattering a large amount of black powder. The powder was immediately ignited by the flame, and the fire instantly spread, engulfing the target before dissipating into the air.

The message from the cheat system came to my mind:

"The host has successfully cast a complete Fireball spell. The power is 4. The reward is 0.44 experience points and a certain amount of Spirit, Perception, Willpower and four elemental resistances."

Currently, the maximum power of Fireball is only 4 points, with the Fire elemental of the [Burning] trait and the Earth elemental of the [Shaping] trait each providing 2 points.

The Fireball spell, with only 4 points of power, has such a powerful effect.

If you stack the power to 20 or even 50 points, then you can really explode a whole area at once.

Xia Zuo cast a fireball spell again.

"Bang!" The fireball struck the target and burst into flames.

How beautiful! Look at the color of the flames, crimson with a hint of bright yellow, it's definitely a top-quality flame.

"Gah gah." Xia Zuo let out a strange laugh, throwing fireballs at the target one after another, occasionally stroking the flames as if he were pampering his pet.

The sound of flames exploding echoed in the training room.

4:55 PM.

When Xia Zuo left his mentor's study, his face was a mixture of weariness and excitement, and the strange exhilaration brought by the fireball spell flowed through his heart.

He waited a moment in the castle hall and then had dinner with Anjou, whom he hadn't seen for a month.

“You’re finally out!” Anru’er threw herself into her boyfriend’s arms.

Xia Zuo patted her back gently, "How's your study of elemental representation?"

"Mmm~" Anru hugged her boyfriend's waist and swayed slightly. "It's a very interesting subject. I think it's especially fun."

She raised her head, gazed at the other person, a smug smile curving her lips. She deliberately furrowed her brows and said in an exaggerated tone:

"Oh dear, what a pity. Professor Bethel said that the content of the material science of elements cannot be told to others. So, I can't tell you either."

"Ha..." Xia Zuo shook his head and chuckled.

This girl is imitating someone's tone from the past, deliberately teasing her boyfriend using his old, evasive way of speaking.

"I'll deal with you this weekend." Xia Zuo rubbed An Ru'er's face, earning her a kiss and affection in return.

The time after dinner cannot be used for training spells.

Xia Zuo plans to ask his tutor for leave and will not attend the course on Odd Objects tonight.

After a month of seclusion, there are many poisons in the Great Alchemy Chamber that need to be processed, and there are also many orders that urgently require the help of an expert-level poison alchemist.

Furthermore, the toxic effects of elemental toxins have already been identified.

Xia Zuo felt that the days ahead would become increasingly fulfilling.

Chapter 27 Fourth Type of Mage

Two months later.

That evening, the fourth cohort of freshmen recited general education textbooks in the library and cafeteria in preparation for their final exams.

High school students are diligently refining products in the alchemy area.

Everyone has goals to strive for.

The same goes for Xia Zuo.

Tonight is special for him.

At this moment, in the Alchemy Chamber of Wonders, the furnace roared with a deep rumble, and heat waves filled the spacious room.

Ripples occasionally spread across the molten solution in the high-temperature crucible, and the furnace fire rose and fell in rhythm with the ripples. The flames darted out of the furnace opening and then retreated, like a shy dancer lifting her skirt to reveal a glimpse of beauty.

Xia Zuo, wearing glasses, stared intently at the surface of the solution, his hands resting on the heating and cooling buttons.

This refining process lasted from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., a full 6 hours, far exceeding the previous refining time.

The graduation mark on the metal wire has reached 90 centimeters above the solution, leaving only 10 centimeters of the wire inside.

However, no trace of the product has yet been found.

"Click"

"Click"

A ring of ripples appeared on the surface of the solution.

Xia Zuo pressed the cooling button, and then immediately pressed the heating button.

Another ripple appeared.

"Click"

"Click"

A rounded object revealed its curve on the surface of the liquid.

"It's almost done," Xia Zuo said with a hoarse laugh, forcing himself to focus as he operated the buttons.

Behind him, Beatrice sat in a chair, a deep blue eye on her forehead, and she too noticed the scene in the crucible.

Beatrice subtly changed her posture, stood up, crossed her arms in front of her, her right fingers slightly bent, and the silver sand beside her was poised to help her student operate the button at any moment, so as not to let hours of hard work go to waste.

Crafting the Life Alchemy Stone is a very demanding task.

The lifting stage is Beatrice's biggest concern.

Xia Zuo sensed his mentor's actions, and after his perception level increased to over 10 points, he could clearly see the rustling of the wind and grass around him.

But he couldn't find the time to thank his mentor.

The alchemy stone of life is so important.

Time flowed slowly, and only the low rumble of the furnace echoed in the Alchemy Chamber.

At the very moment the atmosphere froze, the perfectly round alchemy stone completely detached from the solution!

"Success!"

Xia Zuo cheered hoarsely, feeling like he was on the verge of collapse.

He braced his arms on the control panel, endured the dizziness, pressed the button to turn off the stove, then grabbed the kettle on the table, gulped down a large mouthful of water, and sat down in a chair to rest.

Beatrice glanced at the silver elliptical sphere hanging on the left robotic arm and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at the student beside her and said with a smile, "Very good quality. Would you like me to get it for you?"

"Thank you, Professor."

Xia Zuo waved his hand, feeling that he had regained some energy and strength. "I want to do the last step myself."

If the supervisor takes the job of cutting the wire away from me and I don't get the reward, then all those hours of hard work will have been for nothing.

Beatrice nodded slightly and sat back down in her chair.

Xia Zuo rubbed his temples and stretched his shoulders.

He pressed a few buttons on the control panel to move the left robotic arm over, stood up, untied the metal wire, and used a detection spell on the ellipsoid in his hand.
