Bright, scorching fireballs, under Chen Luo's control, collided with the charging wolf pack at speeds imperceptible to the naked eye.
BOOM!!
Continuous explosions illuminated Chen Luo's surroundings!
Amidst the light and flames, ferocious night wolves were reduced to ashes by the fireballs.
Chen Luo's immediate vicinity was cleared of over a hundred night wolves, and the distance between him and the wolf pack was re-established at five meters.
However, for the night wolves with their powerful physiques, this distance was merely a moment's leap.
But they were fast! Chen Luo's fireballs were faster!
The furiously erupting fireballs instantly turned the surrounding night wolves into ash.
[Killed Night Wolf x123, gained 24600 experience points, Fireball Skill proficiency increased by 123 points]
No matter how many night wolves were in the pack, the number that could reach Chen Luo simultaneously was limited.
The momentary burst had cleared a five-meter safety zone by the gate, and this five-meter radius became the wolves' boundary of life and death.
With a mere flick of Chen Luo's finger, fireballs turned any night wolf that charged into the five-meter range into flying ash.
Behind him, within the gate, everyone who had already grabbed their weapons, ready for a bloody battle, was stunned.
The moment the night wolf pack surged forward, everyone had prepared to fight for their lives. But in the next instant, Chen Luo, as if descended from the heavens, instantly turned the frantically charging wolf pack from all directions into ashes.
And now, fireballs continuously shot out from Chen Luo's side. The charging night wolves were killed directly before they could even resist.
"Holy crap! Boss is awesome!!!"
"Boss, I love you! I'll pick up soap for you!!"
"Nan Tong, get lost! Boss, sleep with me!!!"
The rushing priestesses pushed aside the frenzied warriors and began cheering wildly for Chen Luo.
Amidst this fervent atmosphere, only Zhang Wei, his most loyal subordinate, looked grave:
"Our mages have limited mana. With such a crazy burst, how long can Boss last?"
Zhang Wei's concern was not unfounded, but he did not understand how strong Chen Luo truly was.
Or rather, he did not understand how terrifying Chen Luo's speed of improvement was!
Chen Luo at this moment was incomparable to his strength when he first obtained "Archmage."
In front of the wolf pack, apart from the continuously launched fireballs, all other magical lights on Chen Luo had vanished.
At first glance, he appeared like an ordinary mortal, with no distinguishing features other than his handsome appearance.
However, if anyone could see the eyes beneath Chen Luo's sunglasses, they would notice the light within them flashing rapidly.
For a general skill to advance from C-rank to B-rank, it typically required ten thousand uses. Due to the unique title "Beginner," Chen Luo only needed one thousand uses to level up.
But even one thousand uses was a number that previously took Chen Luo a long time to achieve.
Although Chen Luo had eliminated cooldowns with "Unlimited Firepower" and cast times with "Divine Chant,"
most skills still required energy to activate, and the consumption and recovery of this energy was Chen Luo's current final weakness.
However, there was one skill in Chen Luo's skill bar that was an exception.
It required the user to construct an incredibly complex pattern in their mind and endure a long cooldown period after use.
But apart from that, it could be successfully cast without the user injecting any power.
This special skill was Meditation.
...
Time returned to when Chen Luo had just obtained the "Archmage" talent.
Since Chen Luo acquired the "Archmage" talent and removed the casting quantity limit, what he had been doing was frantically increasing the level of Meditation!
"Divine Chant" made the construction of the meditation pattern instantaneous, "Archmage" removed the limit on the number of simultaneous casts, and "Unlimited Firepower" eliminated the excessively long cooldown of Meditation.
All of this resulted in the strange light flashing in Chen Luo's eyes, the peculiar glow produced by nearly a hundred Meditation skills being cast in an extremely short period.
[Proficiency reached, congratulations on your skill "Meditation" advancing from C-rank to B-rank]
[Meditation (B-rank) (0/100000)]
Active Effect: Enter a meditative state, recovering 15 mana every 3 seconds. Cooldown: ten minutes, maximum duration: Spirit x 50 seconds.
Passive Effect: Spirit +50
----------
After "Meditation" was upgraded to B-rank, the mana recovery speed directly increased by a notch. It seemed that higher skill levels brought more powerful effects.
Chen Luo's Spirit attribute also increased to 120 points after the skill upgrade.
With the increase in Spirit, his mana pool also grew, and even the number of skills Chen Luo could cast simultaneously increased to 120.
Feeling Chen Luo maintaining his body in a meditative state to recover mana, while simultaneously continuing to rapidly construct the complex B-rank meditation patterns in his mind.
Chen Luo had naturally tried to maintain multiple "meditative states" simultaneously.
However, it was a pity that although "Archmage" allowed Chen Luo to continue using Meditation while maintaining a "meditative state," the state effect itself could not be stacked.
Slightly disappointed, Chen Luo regretfully abandoned the overpowered playstyle of infinitely stacking buffs and continued to frantically grind for Meditation proficiency.
The proficiency required for B-rank had already reached one hundred thousand, a number that an ordinary person might take a lifetime to complete.
But for Chen Luo at this moment, the rapidly increasing proficiency was visible to the naked eye.
With a single thought, hundreds of Meditation spells were completed.
When Chen Luo walked out from the depths of the venue and saw Hu Tao being killed by Su Xiao, and when he saw Zhang Wei being dragged away by his roommates with a sneak attack,
no one knew that Chen Luo's skill level had once again achieved a brand new breakthrough.
[Proficiency reached, congratulations on your skill "Meditation" advancing from B-rank to A-rank]
[Meditation (A-rank) (0/1000000)]
Active Effect: Enter a meditative state, recovering 100 mana per second. Cooldown: 5 minutes, maximum duration: Spirit x 100 seconds.
Passive Effect: Spirit +100
...
Time returned to the present.
With Meditation reaching A-rank, Chen Luo's power once again surged!
His Spirit attribute skyrocketed to 170 points, making Chen Luo's mind incredibly clear and his thoughts move even faster.
Even manipulating hundreds of fireballs simultaneously, attacking the rapidly approaching night wolves from different angles, was effortless for Chen Luo.
With a mana recovery of a hundred points per second and a mana pool of up to 3400 points, Chen Luo's firepower reserves became unfathomable.
For a time, the wolf pack's assault was actually at a stalemate with Chen Luo!
