Chapter 2

Li Wei walked to the library, took out his identity magic crystal card, and swiped it in front of the door. It opened automatically.

Li Wei walked up to the second floor.

The higher the level of the library’s collection, the more valuable it was. However, Li Wei could only go up to the second floor, which was the highest level that an odd-job student could go to.

As for why no one dared to break the rules and go upstairs, it was because the head of the library was a magician with profound cultivation. Some people even said that he was even stronger than the elusive head of the library. It was rumored that the library was constantly under the surveillance of his profound mind.

Li Wei came to the second floor of the library. First, he chose an attribute-free magic book in a corner of the magic area. It was called Mind Detection. It was a level-1 Detection spell, which could detect a distance of about ten meters in a straight line.

This was a very practical magic book. However, because it was located in an extremely remote location, very few people practiced it.

Li Wei also happened to see it when he was cleaning for a living. However, at that time, his predecessor did not have enough spiritual power to practice it. Therefore, it was convenient for the current Li Wei.

Next, Li Wei went to the Battle Spirit Section and chose a cultivation method and technique called Flaming Sun and a technique called Flaming Sun Sword that complemented the Flaming Sun.

Among them, the Flaming Sun was a level-2 cultivation method while the Flaming Sun Sword was a level-1 technique.

Although the level was low, it was currently the most suitable for Li Wei’s cultivation method and technique. This method could cultivate the fire attribute which was a perfect match for Li Wei who had some slight talent in it.

After Li Wei had chosen, he brought the three scrolls to the front desk to register. It was not that Li Wei did not want to choose more, but he only had the right to take three scrolls now.

The front desk of the Academy Library was overseen by an old man with a white beard and hair, wearing a simple magician robe.

The old man saw Li Wei and asked with a smile, “Little Li Wei is here. Why did you go to the Battle Spirit Section this time? Have you thought it through? Are you going to the Battle Spirit Academy to develop further?” It was obvious that the old man knew Li Wei.

The old man’s name was Wei Nuo. He worked at the front desk of the library all year round. Li Wei was familiar with him because Li Wei was mainly in charge of cleaning and tidying up the first and second floors of the library.

Li Wei’s predecessor was also a warm-hearted and kind person. Looking at the lonely old man, he would give the meat in his meals to Wei Nuo every time. The two of them became familiar with each other.

The old man even once wanted to bring Li Wei to the top floor of the library to take a look, but Li Wei was afraid of bringing trouble to Wei Nuo, so he did not go.

Hearing Wei Nuo’s words, Li Wei could not help but be a little shocked. He was at the corner of the second floor where the Battle Spirit Section was. This old man knew everything from the first floor?

“Grandpa Wei Nuo, how did you know that I came and even went to the Battle Spirit Section?” Li Wei asked curiously.

Wei Nuo did not answer. He only smiled and said, “You answer me first. Are you going to the Battle Spirit Academy? If you want to go, I know someone there. I can introduce him to you. You don’t have to worry that your cultivation isn’t enough.”

Li Wei refused and said, “Thank you, Grandpa Wei Nuo. I still like magic. I know that I won’t be able to become a beginner-level magician in a short time, so I’ve decided to cultivate both magic and martial arts.”

“What? Why are you so silly, kid? I’m advising you because you do have some talent in combat. Although you can’t become a mighty figure, you can still protect yourself in this world. A person’s energy is limited. You have to know how many geniuses end up mediocre because of dual cultivation. Now, if you want to cultivate both magic and martial arts, what can you achieve in the future?” Wei Nuo spoke in a somewhat disappointed tone.

Li Wei could sense from Wei Nuo’s words that he cared about him, so he said, “Grandpa Wei Nuo, I just want to give it a try. I still don’t want to give up my dream of becoming a magician.”

After Wei Nuo heard this, he could only sigh and say, “Why are you so stubborn? Grandpa is doing this for your own good!”

Wei Nuo was really doing this for Li Wei. All these years, he had been alone in the library, and there was only one young man who was so good to him. Wei Nuo’s cold heart was also moved and he treated him as his own grandson. How could he just watch Li Wei, who had ordinary talent, walk toward a dead end?

Li Wei did not know how to persuade Wei Nuo to agree. He could not say that he was a cheat and that he was confident that he could achieve both in the future.

He could only follow Wei Nuo’s lead and said, “Don’t worry, Grandpa Wei Nuo. I’m just learning a few level-1 spells to use daily.”

“That’s good. If you have any problems in the academy in the future, come here and look for Grandpa. Grandpa will help you,” Wei Nuo looked at Li Wei and said sincerely.

Hearing this, Li Wei nodded his head and thanked him before leaving the library.

Li Wei walked on the cobblestone path and walked straight to his own courtyard. Suddenly, the conversation between the couple on the bench next to him attracted Li Wei’s attention.

“I heard that the official student selection will begin in a month.”

“Sigh, what does that have to do with us? Without sufficient strength and potential, we can only watch others perform.”

“You can’t say that. We still have a chance in the future!”

“Forget it. In another year, you’ll be eighteen. If you still don’t pass by then, you’ll have to wait to do chores with the instructor.”

“I really envy those people!”

When Li Wei heard these words, the sense of urgency in his heart intensified. He was already eighteen this year. This was his last chance.

After returning to the dormitory, Li Wei first memorized the spiritual detection training method. Then, he used the system to change the time, directly bringing his proficiency to the maximum. He could detect a straight line of ten meters.

Following that, Li Wei began to cultivate his battle spirit. The most important thing to cultivate the battle spirit was to find a stream of energy that was unique to him. Then, he would use the cultivation method to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to strengthen his battle spirit.

The process of searching for energy took Li Wei half a month. Then, he followed the cultivation method for a whole week. After that, he used the system to adjust the production time of his battle spirit for fifteen years.

At this moment, the combat aura in Li Wei’s body was circulating crazily and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth surged into his body.

Li Wei also broke through from a small combat aura to the perfection of a basic knight in an instant, directly throwing away his magic cultivation by a whole realm.

Li Wei did not stop. He began to modify the combat technique that he had long memorized in his mind. In an instant, the fighting technique also began to be integrated.

At this moment, Li Wei finally had the state of being able to fight against the disciples of the real odd-job students.

After Li Wei stopped his cheat-like training, he suddenly remembered that he was learning a sword technique, but he did not even have a sword.

Li Wei wanted a magic sword. The magic sword could transmit the battle spirit and increase the power of the fighting technique. This way, his strength could be improved again, and he would have more confidence in the official student selection.

Li Wei knew that the value of the magic sword was not cheap. It could easily cost several thousand gold coins and he urgently needed to earn money.

However, it was as difficult as climbing to the sky to obtain those gold coins in the academy. Li Wei decided to go to the Magical Beast Forest tomorrow to see if there were any ways to earn money.

Although there would be a certain amount of danger, as the saying goes, wealth comes from danger.

The next day, Li Wei went to apply for leave at dawn. Then, he prepared some dried food and set off for the Magical Beast Forest alone..
