Chapter 267 Final Ranking, First Test Passed, Core Changes, Heart of the Four Symbols!
Assessment of the plains.
The once flat ground has become pitted and uneven, and a large number of eliminated wizards have come to the edge of the field.
They watched the remaining wizards.
At this moment, eighty percent of all eyes were focused on Ian's direction.
"You must be joking."
Taylor, another student of Kieran, moved his throat slightly as he recalled the scene from several hours ago to the present.
Everything was normal at first, until the number of elemental creatures suddenly increased several times, causing him and many other wizards to be eliminated.
And when they were moved to the edge of the battlefield.
Then I saw the remaining dozen or so wizards fighting desperately, and I also saw Ian still persisting.
Ian has actually held on until now?
But what surprised him even more was that Ian was actually trying to merge the fields.
As Kieran's student, she was naturally familiar with this meditation method and knew very well that there was no corresponding domain skill.
But what did he see?
Ian actually tried to comprehend the skill under such high-pressure testing conditions, and even entered a state of resonance.
And what's even more shocking is that it actually succeeded?
It even pulled its ranking down to sixth.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
Taylor felt this was the first time he had met this junior.
Ian has always been known for his outstanding academic and magical abilities, while his combat skills remain unknown.
But now it seems their combat capabilities are top-notch!
"That's true. With top-notch magic and decent combat awareness, they can't possibly be bad."
She sighed.
But none of that matters anymore. Even if Ian chooses to give up now, she is still at least one of the top two in the Four Symbols Institute.
He was ranked just behind the veteran wizard Wesley.
It's important to know that Wesley was a student in the previous cohort, which means that Ian is currently ranked first among his peers at the Four Symbols Academy.
"To remain unknown and then soar to great heights?"
She was envious.
But that doesn't seem to be the case, as Ian's reputation had already spread because of his academic abilities.
This time, it proves that he has the ability to live up to his reputation.
"If I get second place this time, and also make it into the top three in the retest, then I can challenge for the core position."
97
Even if it doesn't work this time, it will definitely work next time.
Her eyes flickered.
I know in my heart that the future of this junior student in front of me is, at least on the road to the core, incredibly bright.
"But Junior El is probably going to have a breakdown."
She shook her head and turned to look at El, who had been eliminated a little earlier and ranked around 80th or 90th, thus qualifying for the second round of auditions.
But she knew that she had always been comparing herself to Ian.
This time...
"You must be joking."
""
El's face turned pale, whether from exhaustion of mental energy or something else, it was unclear.
Thinking of the power of Ian's final domain skill, she felt even more powerless to match it.
Even in his previous state, after just a moment's thought, the power of the domain completely surpassed his.
Although it's not a real-person battle.
"But if it were a real person, could I beat him?"
Al already had an answer in his heart.
She had to admit that it seemed Ian had surpassed her.
"That's amazing!"
In the crowd, Nicole looked at Ian with sparkling eyes, while pondering how to tell her father.
In any case, funding must be increased.
"Yes, how could his combat ability be bad!"
Green Wing's score was in the thirties. At this moment, he narrowed his eyes, recalling the scene of their first meeting.
On the airship, Ian used his exquisite sorcery to kill a large number of harpies and save wizards from several academies.
However, compared to that time...
Ian is now even stronger.
Not only them, but the other wizards also stared blankly at Ian in the arena.
Wasn't he supposed to be an academic wizard?
This is practically a turret wizard!
Even stronger than those wizards who fight year-round? He even entered a resonance state while taking the exam.
He truly deserves to be called a genius of the academy.
the other side.
After Ian finished, he felt as if his mental energy had been drained, and he even felt unsteady on his feet.
"If I were to use this skill at full power, I could probably only manage three or four uses with my mental strength."
Ian grinned.
However, its power is indeed quite impressive.
Even though he only used the domain itself, with very little mental power, and never used the Four Symbols Cycle, Elemental Crown, or magical artifacts, etc.
Even so, its power was enough to surprise him.
This is a trump card that's kept under wraps.
After taking a bottle of mental potion, Ian felt his body being moved outwards.
Just landed.
He saw some acquaintances come to greet Ian, including some top elites from other academies.
Ian got to know them all.
These are all pillars of the Future Academy, so it's definitely a good idea to get to know more of them.
In the end, Ian and Nicole watched the remaining wizards fight together.
There were seven people left in the game at this point.
"Wesley is still alive, and so is Abraham?"
The former was fine, but the latter surprised even Ian.
All that could be seen was that the area around Abraham had been completely transformed into a fiery zone, and any elemental creatures that entered were instantly incinerated.
This applies even to those in the later stages of the first ring.
That's amazing?
Ian's eyes flickered.
This power is definitely not right; it must be a talent skill. And judging by its power, the talent is probably at least Radiant Moon.
"That's true. He was the first wizard to break through to the late stage of the first ring; how could his talent be lacking?"
Ian remembered.
This guy is almost a year ahead of other wizards, and even Nicole, who has family support, is no match for him.
Fortunately, he was no match for him.
Otherwise, the second interview will be troublesome.
"But Wesley isn't simple either!"
He narrowed his eyes slightly. At that moment, Wesley was surrounded by what looked like a tornado, with fine sand flying everywhere.
However, if elemental creatures get too close, they will be torn to pieces by these grains of sand.
Is it a region with both wind and earth attributes?
Ian observed carefully, after all, this might be his future opponent.
Time passed little by little.
Soon, Abraham could no longer hold on, seemingly due to excessive mental exertion, and finally stopped.
Next was another wizard from the Winterfell.
Next up is Wesley.
Meanwhile, the large number of elemental creatures that were wiped out by the last wave of the outbreak were all replaced.
And when it's all over.
Ian's ranking has risen to eighth.
Abraham was the seventh.
West came in fifth.
Then, Kieran waved his hand again in the sky, the ground slowly healed, and the storm in the sky slowly disappeared.
In just a few dozen seconds, the plain in front of us returned to normal, and plants even began to grow.
It can only be said that the strength of the Second Ring Road is still terrifying.
"The preliminary examination for core disciples has concluded. The top 100 wizards in the preliminary examination can participate in the re-examination one year later. The re-examination will be held in the middle layer of the Sea of Spiritual Rhyme, and each academy will conduct the re-examination separately. Specific rules will be announced later."
Simon took a step forward, his voice reaching everyone's ears.
The sound was not loud.
But no one dared to ignore it.
After all, Kieran had just displayed terrifying strength, while Simon was on a completely different level.
One year.
The middle layer of the Sea of Spiritual Charm.
Ian also slowly exhaled, which meant he still had a year left.
Looking at the ranking list above, Ian discovered that a total of twenty-three people from the Four Symbols Academy had entered the second round of trials, including El and Taylor.
In other words, they will be competing for the three spots.
interesting.
Ian pondered.
Suddenly everything went black.
I opened my eyes again.
They have already returned to the main courtyard.
Although they had already experienced it once, everyone still felt incredibly curious, wondering if it was Simon's secret technique or the power of the Third Ring.
As for Simon...
His figure had already disappeared by then.
Only Kieran seemed to have returned as well.
"Come see me after you've finished dealing with this matter."
After leaving a message, Kieran departed, leaving behind hundreds of elite members.
"Ian."
Ian was surrounded by many wizards and was about to leave when he heard a voice. He looked up and saw Abraham walking towards him from not far away.
"I've organized a small salon tonight to share some experiences. You're welcome to join if you're interested."
Abraham spoke.
"Okay, I'll go when I have time."
Ian nodded.
Abraham is a top student at the Molten Core Institute, so there's nothing wrong with getting to know him.
Abraham left.
Many more wizards came up to him and introduced themselves, and he accepted them all, adding many of their contact information.
Until half an hour later.
Only then did he escape from the numerous wizards.
Then he went straight to the Four Symbols Temple.
I met Kieran.
"teacher."
The familiar room, Ian's respectful greeting.
Kieran sat in a chair, looking calmly at Ian. After a few seconds, he nodded and said, "You did well this time. I thought it would be good enough if you could even get into the preliminary round, but I didn't expect you to get second place in the preliminary round as well."
Even Kieran.
They were quite surprised at this point.
It's not just about the grades, but also about how Ian was able to comprehend domain skills under those circumstances.
This is a talent for magic.
Even after all these years, he has only met a few.
"It's all thanks to the teacher's help."
Ian said modestly.
"You did well this time, but if you want to get a good ranking in the retest, your mental strength is really not enough."
Kieran shook his head, then tossed out a small bottle.
The bottle is transparent and contains a pale golden liquid that shimmers with a soft glow under the light.
"This is?"
Ian has a question.
"Moon Dew is a top-grade first-tier resource that can enhance mental power with almost no side effects. After consuming this amount, you should be able to raise your mental power to its peak within three months."
Kiran explained.
This?
Ian's eyes widened.
He's currently at 80/100, which normally would take about six months, but this bottle of Moon Dew shortened that time by half.
This means a lot to him.
He could even try to condense a fourth mental energy crystal before the retest.
Teachers are the ones who are so generous!
"Thank you, teacher."
Ian immediately expressed his gratitude.
"No need. Once you advance to the core level, you'll be using it to allocate resources."
Kieran casually revealed.
Ian was taken aback.
Can these core resources be allocated quotas?
"What do you think the core is? It's the academy's second-ring seed."
Kieran then changed the subject seriously and said, "I wasn't planning to tell you this, but since you came in second place this time, you do have a good chance of advancing to the core."
I'm giving you a heads-up: because of the war, the support for this current core group will be far greater than ever before. That's why I'm giving you Moon Dew. If you miss this opportunity, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
This was the first time I'd ever seen Kieran look so serious.
This is clearly not a joke.
"And this is also your best chance to advance." He continued, "One of the core members of the Four Symbols Academy has died, and with the death of the second-ring member, plus the fact that the academy's resources have been relatively abundant in recent years, the number of core members will increase by two. In other words, if you are in the top three in the retest, you can directly advance to the core without fighting."
sizzle!
Ian gasped instantly.
He had never actually fought against the core members, but he had experienced their strength once at the previous banquet.
Mental strength.
That was definitely the pinnacle of the first level, and some of them even gave him an aura similar to elementalization.
And it's been five years!
Those who can advance to the core level usually have four spiritual energy crystals, and five years will only make them stronger.
Even Ian at this moment is not necessarily entirely confident.
If one could advance without fighting, that would naturally be a huge advantage.
And if that's all there is to it, then he actually feels a bit more relaxed.
"But you can't let your guard down."
As if sensing his thoughts, Kieran continued, "In previous years, there were no rewards for the preliminary exams; they were only given for the final exams."
""
This was the first time Ian had ever heard of it.
The teacher means this is...
"The top three in the retest will also receive huge rewards. As far as I know, one of the rewards for the first place winner is a Four Symbols Heart," Kieran said calmly.
The Heart of the Four Symbols?
Ian's eyes were thoughtful, as if he had heard of this thing somewhere before.
He quickly remembered that "the Heart of the Four Elements is one of the materials needed to practice the Four Elements Cycle. It is a precious material that usually appears in the area where the four elements meet, after hundreds of years. It is a hundred times more precious than the Three-Phase Crystal."
Ian immediately became serious.
He is about to condense the fourth spiritual crystal. Once he succeeds, he will definitely need to learn the Four Symbols Cycle.
This thing is as precious as some resources in the second ring road.
Even with his current connections, he simply couldn't find it.
As for why Zilean brought it up, it's because he also knew about the Four Symbols Cycle, which he had taught Zilean a long time ago.
"We must take first place."
Instantly, Ian became serious.
"Good that you understand. Go and prepare well. Afterwards, organize your domain skills and give me a copy. I will analyze your situation for you. You exposed quite a few problems in this battle."
95
He waved his hand, indicating that the conversation was over.
"Okay, teacher."
Ian was delighted.
A second-circle wizard analyzing his combat system is something most first-circle wizards would only encounter once in a lifetime.
That is, his teacher.
As for contributing knowledge or anything like that, it doesn't matter at all, as long as Ian gets stronger.
Some witchcraft is nothing.
In fact, it wouldn't have been for Kieran's reminder.
He'll definitely just make it into the top three and that's it. He might miss out on the Four Symbols Heart, which would cause him a lot of trouble.
We can't relax at all in the coming year.
"Let's break through to the fourth level of spiritual power crystals first."
On the way out.
Ian set a goal.
As Kieran watched Ian's departing figure, his gaze remained calm, lost in thought.
"That domain!"
Kieran's eyes flickered.
Other wizards were unaware of this magic, but he knew it all too well.
Ian's performance at that time was far beyond what was normal, and it was definitely not just a matter of skill level.
It's more likely that he even made some modifications.
"Such top-tier magical talent, and his talent seems to be more than just ordinary!"
Kieran isn't stupid.
Ever since Ian became his student, he could sense that Ian's progress was anything but simple.
This is definitely not ordinary resource irrigation.
But he didn't care.
"Perhaps he really has a chance to find the fifth level of meditation? Or even condense the fifth spiritual crystal."
Kieran's eyes flickered.
To be honest, this idea had disappeared many years ago, but seeing Ian's performance this time...
He felt there seemed to be a possibility.
Thinking about this...
He couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
But he quickly shook his head.
It's too early to think about these things now.
Let's see if he can get first place in the re-examination first. This is the first time he has decided to push this student.
I want to see his potential.
And whether or not he can obtain the Four Symbols Heart he prepared.
"But this time, with this kid getting second place in the division, his fame is probably going to skyrocket again."
He couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
An ordinary wizard would probably be speechless, but when he thought of his student, he was speechless.
He loves to hide things too much; if he hadn't entered a state of resonance this time, he seriously doubted he would have stopped immediately after getting a top-three finish.
Tsk tsk.
The college ranked seventh, and the branch college ranked second.
This result.
This is enough to make many wizards remember him, and it will probably surprise many wizards.
interesting.
