Li Huan stretched his back. The whole night of hard work had not gone to waste. At least, he had completed the modification of the skill.
After modifying Mana Hand to become Mana Charger, it had become a long-term investment skill. Mana Hand might no longer be useful after Level 100. But Mana Charger could be used up to Level 200!
Although he had not slept the entire night, he was not sleepy at all. He still had one more thing to accomplish!
Skills that he had personally researched or modified could be reported to the Magic Council. After obtaining the Magic Council's approval, he could obtain more resources and authority!
With those few things, his journey to becoming stronger would be taken to the next level!
In the late morning, in the Magic Council.
A few senior Mages from the Research and Development Department took off their glasses, slightly puzzled. Then they used their far-sighted vision to carefully read through the modification skill submitted by Li Huan another time.
That's right. Li Huan had worked without stopping and written a report. As soon as the Magic Council opened its doors, he had rushed in and submitted his report, requesting to increase his authority.
"Li, Li Huan, I know. You're now a teaching assistant at the Royal Magic Academy. You're also a genius Summoner. Your performance in that class two days ago was astonishing! You've earned quite a bit of reputation for the academy!"
"That's right, so quickly approve this for me?"
Li Huan scratched his head. What, were they planning to just dismiss him after praising him? No way! If they did not approve it for him, he would refuse to leave!
"Aiya! It's not that we won't approve this for you, right? It's just that this skill of yours..."
"Who said Mages can't hit people? Why should the extent of Mana Hand's power stop here? By injecting magic into the body, it gives the body an extreme hardness..."
One of the old men who was reading halfway could not take it any more. A few of them looked up at Li Huan, as if they were looking at a monster.
They seemed to be saying, "Are you bullsh*tting us here?"
He was a perfectly good Mage! A super genius Summoner, even! Instead of thinking about how to increase the power of his Summoned Creatures, why did he keep harping on his own body?
"Right? From what I understand of Summoners, don't they let their Summoned Creatures fight the first wave? And at the end, simply dish out two punches and finish with a KO. Isn't that right?"
Ah... that...
The few of them looked at each other. That new development, that new development had a reasoning they had never thought of. So, Summoners could also be used as tools in battle tactics?
Summoners could break the stereotype of having inherently weak bodies? Give their enemies a left and a right until their faces were badly bruised and swollen?
"For this, we might have to discuss a bit more..."
"Discuss what! What else is there to say! Come! If you don't believe me, let's try it!"
Seeing that they were still hesitant, Li Huan could not wait any longer.
"Come on! Create something. I'll give it two punches!"
The old men nodded. In front of Li Huan, an ice wall slowly formed.
Li Huan did not even glance at it. He immediately punched it.
Pa!
Before the old men could react, the wall which could withstand attacks from Warriors below Level 15 instantly collapsed. Ice shards scattered all over the floor.
At that moment, Dagan had something joyous to report. He rushed in without even knocking, and saw Li Huan's magnificent feat of smashing the ice wall into pieces with one punch.
That, that kid was not just talented in spells and research? Even, even his body was so raw and powerful?
That one punch had not only hit the ice wall, it had hit Dagan's heart directly!
Dagan had thought that Li Huan was all brains, no brawn. But it turned out that his limbs were no joke either!
The ice shards all over the ground seemed to pierce his heart one by one.
Dagan did not dare to look at Li Huan anymore, for fear that Li Huan would turn around and accidentally see him. He hurriedly slinked away, backtracking his steps. He did not even forget to close the door quietly.
No! His beloved Nano! No matter what sorcery that kid was using, it was all fake! Only he could enter her heart!
"Is that enough? How is it? It's pretty good, right? Hurry up and approve it for me! It won't cost you that much! I'm also a member of the Magic Council now. Having one more ferocious general in the Magic Council is definitely not a bad thing for you!"
It seemed like his punch had beaten those old men into a daze. Their mouths hung open until they were almost drooling, but still, they did not say a word.
"Oh, oh, right, right! Indeed, that is not bad at all! I didn't expect that, I didn't expect that! Li Huan, what else do you have up your sleeve? You really are something!"
The leader was the first of the old men to react. He nodded continuously. He really had not expected Li Huan to completely grasp that skill at only Level 20!
"In my opinion, this kid is really capable. Why don't we let him try?"
"That's right. The inherent weakness of a Summoner's body was a label we gave to them anyway. Why shouldn't Summoners be physically strong?"
"Wang, I'm sure you know that the wall I created just now wasn't something that could be easily broken, right?"
They began to react in succession, and started discussing among themselves in hushed voices.
"Our Magic Council now has an additional ferocious general. I think that's pretty good. We can give it a try."
The elder with the highest level lowered his voice and spoke.
"The Dark Council has recently been acting up more. You should all have noticed that already, right?"
"Yeah, I don't know what's with the Dark Council lately. They're suddenly doing a lot more! We have to be on guard!"
"This Summoner has improved his physical strength. When we have to fight the Necromancers of the Dark Council, he might really become the perfect surprise attack!"
The Dark Council's deeds had suddenly increased, precisely because Li Huan had pushed forward the development of the world's entire mission line.
"Let him try. All in all, it won't be a bad thing."
At that point, Li Huan was no longer anxious. After all, they had already been subdued by that one move of his. The result that followed was obvious.
Seeing that they had lifted their heads, Li Huan raised his eyebrows.
"So? Can you approve it for me now?"
That kid! Even before he met with them, he wouldn't already have planned how to use the resources he would earn, right?
"Hahaha! We can! We can! Young man, you've got ideas! Young men with ideas like you are exactly what our Magic Council needs!"
The man walked up to Li Huan, and gave him an exuberant hug.
"Okay! Go on and do it without any worries!"
