Chapter 166: The assessment is over, a new journey begins!
Silver Moon level talent?
Ian stared in astonishment at the wizards on either side of him.
A man and a woman. The man had long red hair and exuded an explosive aura. The woman was petite with bright blue eyes.
Ian glanced at them and could indeed sense a different aura emanating from the two.
However, two Silver Moon-level talents appeared in a short period of time.
This still surprised Ian somewhat.
Having already spent several months in the City of Elements, he had gained some understanding of the assessment process from previous years.
Basically, a dozen or so Silver Moon-level talents appear every year.
This is normal.
Regarding talent, there is a well-known theory that talent is generally better in areas with high magic power and worse in areas with low magic power.
This is because high talent requires high magic power to maintain, and over time, talent in areas with low magic power will become worse.
This is why academy wizards look down on wizards from some remote areas.
Similarly, this is why many wizards and family schools flock to the City of Elements, even desperately squeezing into the core area.
And then came wave after wave of wizards.
The number of Silver Moon-level talents is also gradually increasing.
They generally had more than twenty, with the most reaching forty, which was the red-haired man we saw at the beginning.
It's likely that his talent isn't too bad even among Silver Moon-level talents.
A group of wizards came in from the fifth floor to take the test.
Soon, Ian began to see familiar faces.
This includes the wizards of the Green Corridor, Ronan who has left the school, and Willow who has been away for a long time.
"Ian!"
Willow walked over quickly, gave him a hug, and looked at Ian.
Soon, Ian also learned about her recent situation in the family war.
Her uncle treated her very well and there was no unfair treatment from him. The only thing that made her unhappy was that he had been introducing her to descendants of other families recently.
"But don't worry, Ian, I won't agree."
Willow looked at Ian, her tone firm.
"Thank you."
Ian was looking at him too.
"The second assessment is over. The top 1,000 can stay, and the rest can leave."
At this moment, the witch at the front slowly spoke, and at the same time, the witch who was suspected to be from the Molten Core also entered the room.
At this moment, Ian also noticed that a ranking had appeared on his wrist.
"three hundred!"
Ian looked at the numbers and breathed a sigh of relief at making it into the top 1,000. He didn't have any complaints about the ranking.
His talent started low, and everyone present was the most outstanding talent within the range of elemental arcane arts, so even 1700 didn't give him any advantage.
The same applies to mental strength.
He only reached the 20 mark, the limit, but there are plenty of people here who have reached their limits.
Reaching 300 is already a pretty good number.
Willow, standing to the side, scored over 800, also successfully making it into the top 1,000.
"Next is the last item, please follow me."
The wizard from the Molten Core Academy spoke again, addressing the crowd.
Those who made it into the top 1,000 followed suit, leaving only a few wizards looking unwilling, or even regretful.
He looked at Ian and the others with envy.
soon.
The group arrived at the first floor.
"Almost three times the elemental concentration!"
At this moment, Ian felt a rich concentration of elements and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Such concentration can only be achieved in an outdoor meditation room, but here, it's just the most ordinary state.
Ian could easily imagine it.
How beneficial would meditation be for a wizard apprentice here?
This floor is now entirely the Elemental Arcane Wizard Academy.
As Ian walked back and forth, he could see a large number of wizard apprentices crowding on both sides of the building, watching them.
They all cast curious glances their way.
In addition, Ian also saw places here that clearly resembled teaching areas, experimental areas, and laboratories.
However, there are still not many first-ring wizards here.
I wonder where all the formal wizards who know the mysteries of the elements meditate.
Their final destination was the east side of the first floor, where they saw only a tall black tower standing there.
It is 100 meters tall.
"This is the Illusion Tower, and it's the final test."
"This is the Illusion Tower, and it's the final test." The wizard from the Molten Academy looked around at everyone, his voice clearly reaching the ears of each examinee.
"It can almost perfectly simulate your current total mental energy, physical condition and magic level, and read all the witchcraft information you have mastered up to the zero ring level."
You will be immediately placed into different environments, with different enemies. The environment will be constantly refreshed, and unexpected events may occur at any time. The final score will be based on the time you last, and the Tower Spirit will coordinate and score the results.
The three assessment scores are weighted at 20%, 30%, and 50% respectively to determine the final ranking. The top 400 students will be admitted to the college.
The wizard said calmly.
Among the crowd, Ian's eyes narrowed slightly.
I originally thought the combat style would be the same as that of wizards.
But I never expected it to turn out like this.
But this is also good, at least I don't have to show off my skills in front of many wizards.
Meanwhile, the wizard from the Molten Academy reminded everyone, "Please do not hide your strength, because after joining the academy, you will need to choose a branch and a mentor. Your mentor will have the right to view your combat records, which is very important."
Upon hearing this, the wizards in the room immediately became serious.
The same goes for Ian.
His goal is to become the head of a branch of the Four Symbols Academy, so naturally, the higher his ranking, the better.
Ultimately, the group did not enter the tower.
He only saw a faint membrane of light slowly appear and then pass over all the wizards. Ian felt as if his mind was being drawn away.
There was no obstruction.
Ian looked ahead.
They found themselves on a plain, facing a lion-type magical beast at the peak of the zero-ring stage.
There was no stagnation.
The moment Ian entered, the lion roared and charged towards him.
next moment.
A streak of flame flew past, and the monster was caught in one swift motion, instantly turning into ashes.
And after the monster dies.
The environment changed again to a building, where a figure slowly appeared, exuding the strength of a peak wizard apprentice.
Real person?
The battle soon began, and Ian discovered that it was also a simulation, and that the combat power was very strong.
However, it was easily solved for Ian.
Soon, scenes appeared one after another: extremely cold regions, canyons, volcanoes...
As the enemies were dealt with one by one, their numbers and quality gradually increased, and Ian began to take things seriously.
And in this assessment.
Ian mainly uses elemental magic, after all, this is an academy primarily for elemental wizards.
Ian also discovered that his mental strength would return to its peak after each battle.
Time passes little by little.
Ian had no idea how much time had passed.
In the end, he used his body-refining sorcery and near-master-level elemental resonance. The only thing he didn't reveal was that all his sorcery could be cast instantly.
Since the records won't be made public anyway, if only future mentors see them, it's still a way to showcase potential.
Finally, Ian opened his eyes.
It was clear that almost all the wizards present had opened their eyes, with only a few wizards with Silver Moon-level talent still keeping their eyes closed.
Although they were not actually fighting, their mental energy was at its peak, and they were all radiating a powerful aura.
Ian even felt he was somewhat similar to Horton.
"It seems that Silver Moon-level talents do indeed possess innate sorcery. Innate sorcery is sufficient as a step in the advancement process, and its power should be terrifying."
Ian shook his head.
It's pointless to compare yourself to these people.
Moreover, he's only two or three hundred points away from Silver Moon level, so there's no need to be envious.
Another half hour passed.
These people all opened their eyes.
Beside the Illusion Tower, a huge water curtain appeared, with names floating on it.
"First place: Abraham Flameheart."
Second place: El Star Eye.
Ian quickly looked at his name and finally found his place at number twenty-five.
I saw my own name.
Ian took a deep breath.
He was already quite satisfied with achieving a ranking of 25 in the third assessment, given that his ranking in the first two assessments was only around 300.
He's neither lagging behind nor far ahead, which is consistent with his usual state.
"it's over."
Ian took a deep breath.
With the rankings finalized, this assessment has successfully concluded.
The elemental mystic arts were successfully incorporated.
this means.
A new journey is about to begin.
