“That smells great!”
“Brat, what did you put in the meat? Why does your roasted meat smell so good?”
Alison’s four-man team had also roasted their own meat, but none of theirs was as fragrant as Meng Lei’s. This greatly puzzled the four of them, and they came over to ask for tips about meat-roasting!
“That’s because I added all of these!” Meng Lei took out the salt and condiments and said with a chuckle, “I’d prepared all of these before I left the village. You can try it, too. Spread some on the meat when you’re roasting it. It’ll taste fantastic for sure!”
The four of them were rather doubtful. Although they took the condiments and tried them out, they didn’t completely trust Meng Lei. What if this stuff was poison?
However, when they saw Meng Lei eating the meat that he had seasoned with the condiments, the four of them finally set their hearts at ease and began to happily spread the condiments on their roasted meat.
Those four fellows are honestly too cautious...
Meng Lei shook his head. He couldn’t even be bothered to diss them anymore!
“This tastes pretty good!”
“As expected of a Second-Grade Magical Beast!”
After a good meal of roasted meat, the group of five continued on their journey.
In the following few days, the four-man team continued to look for first-grade and second-grade magical beasts to train their skills with, while Meng Lei continued to pick up dropped light balls and mature in a cowardly fashion!
At the end of the few days, his rewards were bountiful, and his personal stats had increased by leaps and bounds!

The number of gold coins he possessed had reached 916!
His Physical Body Constitution had reached 126 points!
His spiritual power had also improved by varying degrees!
And his magic spells, too!
Apart from the Fireball Technique, Thorn Vine, and Water Bubble that he already had, he now also had the Earth-Elemental Spell Earthquake, Wind-Elemental Spell Wind Blade, and Fire-Elemental Spell Burning Hand!
Although they were all first-grade spells, they greatly enriched Meng Lei’s repertoire of spells!
The only sad thing was that his magic power reserves were still too little. It was enough to release only about ten fireballs or ten wind blades. Anything more than that was out of the question!
In order to resolve this, Meng Lei had also secretly tried out the Meditation Method. However, even after several attempts at meditating, all of them had failed!
Magic elements in the universe?
They didn’t exist!
He couldn’t sense anything at all!
After a few fruitless attempts, Meng Lei became greatly perplexed, so he specially consulted Alison about it when he was chatting with her. The conclusion he drew in the end was—he didn’t have any talent in magic!
Yes, that’s right!
He didn’t!
Only people who had talent in magic would be able to sense magic elements!
Those who couldn’t naturally meant that they didn’t have any talent in magic!
This conclusion greatly disappointed Meng Lei. He had also had wild wishes that he could be like those main characters in web-novels, where they had terrifying cultivation talent, knew how to do everything, were gifted with an extraordinarily retentive memory, cultivated with half the effort yet achieved double the results, where one day’s work was equivalent to other people’s ten years of effort...
From the look of it now, his imagination had been too active!
In that case, I can only increase my magic power through pickups in the future?
Meng Lei was rather disheartened. Even his enthusiasm for snatching kills dwindled significantly.
Pickups?
Even with pickups, how much can that amount to?
Boom!
A gigantic creature crashed onto the ground, its enormous body convulsing violently. Upon seeing that it was about to die any moment now, Bobby, Millo, Yale, and Alison dusted off their hands. There had been great rapport in their teamwork this time, so they had successfully killed the Fiery Flying Pig!
“Ding! Dropped item discovered. Will you pick it up?”
“Yes, pick it up!”
“Ding! Congratulations to the host. You’ve obtained the First-Grade Spell, Fire Ring!”
A spell again!
Meng Lei sighed.
Without magic power, what’s the use of having so many spells?
“Little Meng Lei, why are you so down in the dumps?” asked a slightly surprised Alison as she walked over to Meng Lei with a magic staff in her hand.
Her impression was that Meng Lei was usually a very lively person and was very active in snatching kills!
Why was he all wilted today?
“Alison, is it impossible for someone to become a Magician if they don’t have magic talent?” asked Meng Lei, who couldn’t reconcile himself with the fact.
“Without magic talent, of course it’s impossible for anyone to become a Magician!”
As though this was to be expected as a matter of course, Alison added, “Just like Bobby and the other two, all of them come from fairly impressive family backgrounds. Even so, they still couldn’t become Magicians precisely because they don’t have magic talent!”
“Magic talent is a hurdle. Just how many people has it obstructed and kept outside the grand hall of magic?” said Millo, the muscular man with the giant axe. Then, he raised his eyebrows and asked, “What, do you wish to become a Magician too, little Meng Lei?”
“Isn’t that obvious, Millo? Who doesn’t want to become a Magician?” teased Bobby with a laugh.
Yale nodded slightly, agreeing wholeheartedly with the statement. There were so many people in Heaven’s Vault Continent, and every one of them wished to become a Magician. Unfortunately, it was just that they didn’t
