Chapter 168 - Unusual Potion Formula (1/2)

When he reached the Guild of Magic, he saw Mason and Orrin, but not Sean.

Speaking of Sean, Lin Li sensed something odd.

Ever since the day they had the meal gathering, Sean was nowhere to be found for the entire day. When Lin Li asked him where he went after he came back the next day, that fella only stuttered, “I-I’m sorry, Mr. Felic. I’d promised someone to keep it a secret.”

Lin Li did not know whether he should cry or laugh at his reply. Since Sean already said it was a secret, he could not ask further.

They following day, Sean went missing again.

Lin Li even started to suspect that Sean got into a relations.h.i.+p with someone in Alanna.

Yes, and it would be dual cultivation…

Or else, why would Sean’s abilities increase so quickly?

These few days, Sean really shocked Lin Li.

The speed of his changes was too rapid. Almost every time when Sean came back, Lin Li would sense that his ability had made vigorous improvement.

The change was too obvious. Not to mention Lin Li, who was naturally sensitive to strength, even a blind man would be able to detect the same.

Lin Li, however, was unaware of the reason behind it. What did Sean encounter to allow him to have such a great improvement?

Since Lin Li was the one who brought Sean to Alanna, he knew Sean’s ability better than anyone else.

When he’d just reached Alanna, Sean’s ability was at most level-7. But, in the past few days, Lin Li could clearly sense that it was close to level-10 now.

The advancement from level-7 to level-10 was a ma.s.sive leap.

At Jarrosus, Lin Li had experienced such a leap before. He knew better than others how freakish such a leap was.

Lin Li felt extremely tormented by his unspeakable curiosity as he witnessed the growth of Sean day by day.

Yet that fella declined to reveal anything to him. Sometimes when Lin Li got a little to pressurizing him, his signature phrase—”I promised someone to keep it a secret”—always allowed him to dodge Lin Li’s questions. That made Lin Li gnash his teeth helplessly…

When he got back to the house, Mason and Orrin were dining.

From the day the Supreme Council announced their decision, those two fellas worked extraordinarily hard. Especially Mason—he quit his habit of laziness to visit the Omniscient Tower every day to read religiously, and only reached home at nine o’clock at night. It did not stop there. Mason even insisted that Orrin practice magic with him at the Spell Testing Hall after that.

Mage was a very fair occupation. One would always be able to reap the results of the effort he put in. In just two days, Mason finally reached level-10 to become a Magic Shooter he had always been dreaming of.

Of course, the price of being a Magic Shooter would be to be beaten up by Orrin every single day and groan in pain before falling asleep every night.

Orrin had become a true level-12 Magic Shooter now, making his abilities comparable to Lin Li’s. How would a level-10 Magic Shooter be of any hindrance to him?

“Felic, you’re back?” Mason’s face was still as swollen as before. When Lin Li was standing in the door, he was chewing on his bread loudly and glaring at Orrin with eyes full of enmity.

“I’ve just arrived,” Lin Li replied. Then, he asked curiously, “Why did y’all not go to the Omniscient Tower today?”

“Don’t mention it… That old dude nagged at us from the moment we woke up, and only left just now.” After telling Lin Li that, Mason glared at Orrin fiercely, and said, “Pretty boy, let’s fight after eating! I’m gonna teach you a lesson today!”

“Moron,” Orrin muttered without even looking up.

“…” Lin Li was beyond speechless. The two guys would get really uncomfortable if they didn’t fight every day. Mason especially—it was as if he got himself addicted to being tortured by Orrin. Even if he got bruises all over, he would get even motivated to challenge Orrin the next day. Normal people could never win against him in such a fighting spirit.

“Oh, yeah. Felic…” Mason spoke right after Lin Li took a seat and only chewed a few mouthfuls of bread. “Just now, that old dude said he is going to come back in the afternoon to speak to you.” ”

“Oh.” Lin Li nodded, and continued eating his bread.

Just right, he also wanted to discuss some issues with Macklin.

When he was journeying back, he had decided that he needed to go visit the Fire Plume Ridge the moment he got the Fire Salamandrid skin. He had to deal with those black lotuses there. Any further delay would become a problem for him.

Furthermore…

When he found out that the Marathon Family was after him, he could not help but feel threatened. It would be a lie to say that he was not concerned about such a ma.s.sive power. Although Lin Li was not scared of the Marathon Family, it would be ideal for him to have more cards in hand.

And the black lotus was undoubtedly the best card.

Looking back at his battle with Cromwell when he was in Jarrosus City, if not for his Elixir of the Sages, the consequences would be unpredictable if Lin Li were to be hit by that level-18 spell.
