"Star Palace!"
Ian looked at the area in front of him, where various training facilities were densely packed.
This is the cradle of second-circle wizards in the academy, and this is his tenth year here.
"Generally speaking, the core status is basically for ten years. After ten years, resources will be greatly reduced. Two years later, regardless of whether you have been promoted or not, you will be dismissed."
He recalled.
So theoretically, this is his last chance to acquire resources here.
I turned around and looked.
Behind him were the wizards of the Four Symbols Academy, and everyone looked at Ian with awe.
They had long since given up on opposing him.
"The Winster family seems to have completely given up on targeting me during the first ring."
Ian's eyes flickered.
From his occasional conversations with Flynn, he learned that the alliance of the families to which Winster belonged had always been in competition with the Dean's faction on Kieran's side, and neither side wanted to see the other grow stronger.
Much of the pressure was actually absorbed by Kieran and the second-ring wizards, and it was already a good thing that Ian didn't target their side from the core.
So all is well.
He shook his head, putting those thoughts aside, and then continued looking at the other courtyards.
Overall, there have been few changes.
The courtyard surrounded by the earth.
Adam remains the chief, and it's his last year.
Feeling Ian's gaze, he looked over with a fighting spirit, wanting to settle the score with Ian.
Molten Core.
The first seat remained unchanged, but the second seat had been taken by Abraham.
This genius, who was born in the same year as Ian, has now raised his elemental resonance level to 95%.
Wind Whisper Academy.
Russell had reached the age limit and was removed from the core ranks, and there was no news of him being promoted to the second ring.
Nicole has now advanced to the top three, with an elemental resonance score exceeding ninety.
Green Wing, this genius from the Green Corridor, is currently in the top three, and his elemental resonance level also exceeds ninety.
Looking at these familiar faces, his thoughts turned to the front, where there were only one or two second-ring wizards this time.
Simon's clone is also there. Ian still doesn't understand the principle behind this clone, and always feels that it has transcended ordinary supernatural power.
He had even heard a few days ago that Simon had launched a surprise attack on an important Crimson Eye base at the front.
It can only be said that the power of the Third Ring Road is still extraordinary.
"It's great to see you all."
Simon glanced at the wizards below and slowly said, "I think this is the last time the entire academy will take this exam. You will all likely need to go to the battlefield to participate in the war. The academy has trained you for this very moment."
Go to the battlefield?
The core wizards below stared wide-eyed.
I never expected things to change like this.
Ian raised an eyebrow.
He's still quite a distance from the Second Ring Road, and heading to the battlefield now is definitely not good news.
"Do all wizards have to go?"
At that moment, West's voice rang out.
Everyone looked at Simon.
Simon shook his head and said, "No, the core members will go to the front line in batches, starting with the bottom three seats, and it is expected that each batch will be sent every three months."
Three months.
In other words, if you are the top student, you can stay in the academy for about another year.
Of course, even gaining an extra three or even six months would be invaluable to these wizards who were on the rise.
It seems everyone will have to work incredibly hard for this core assessment.
As Ian thought to himself, he indeed noticed that the gazes of many key figures had become much more serious.
"But it doesn't really concern me."
Ian shook his head.
He felt that a year had passed.
"Round 1: Resonance Test."
Simon announced.
Simon conducted the test directly in the square as before, and the familiar pressure immediately struck.
Soon, one wizard after another fell.
"Ian, it's just the two of us again."
Not far away, Adam's gaze was fixed on Ian.
After this assessment, he will need to prepare for his promotion; this will be his final assessment.
Therefore, he hopes to defeat Ian and reclaim his status as the core number one.
"The resonance level should be around 98%."
Ian looked at Adam not far away, but remained calm, mainly because the gap between the two was much larger than it had been two years ago.
There is absolutely no comparison.
Sure enough, as time went by, Adam began to sweat, but he persevered.
"I can do it, I definitely can."
He gritted his teeth.
Recalling his life.
He was born as the son of the Iron Mountain family patriarch, and possessed the innate talent of the Radiant Moon. From birth, he was considered one of the strong contenders for the Iron Mountain family's future successor.
And he did not disappoint his family.
He has come a long way, almost always being the strongest among his peers, and even achieving the status of the top core player.
And what about Ian?
A member of a school of thought from a small forest in a remote area.
"How could I lose? I won't lose! My elemental resonance level is already 98%!"
The immense pressure caused his bones to exhibit unusual phenomena, leaving him with almost no time to pay attention to anything else.
And a few minutes later.
The pressure of the element suddenly dissipated.
Did I win?
He only felt that his vision was blocked by sweat.
"No, you've reached your limit."
Simon walked up to him and looked at him with a complicated expression.
"No, I can still hold on."
Adam gritted his teeth.
Simon didn't say anything, he just pointed to Ian's side.
He followed the gaze and saw Ian still standing there calmly, wearing the wizard's robe he had come in.
His expression remained calm, as if nothing had happened; not a drop of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his expression did not change in the slightest.
Adam froze.
No way, the difference wasn't this big last time!
The other core members watched this scene in the square with complex expressions. Adam, after all, had once been the top core member, yet he hadn't caused Ian any trouble whatsoever.
What about the second round?
"They've all reached the top; let's see in the third round."
The second round has ended.
Adam and Ian walked out together, both with the same score.
But everyone understands.
Adam was able to get through because that was his ability, while Ian was able to get through because the Illusion Tower only had so many levels.
The second round has ended.
The top five from the first two rounds have already emerged: Adam, Ian, Abraham...
An unexpected person has appeared!
Ian looked at Abraham not far away, surprised that the guy was walking quite fast as well.
and many more.
What kind of victor's speech is this? If we consider the time when he entered the main academy, shouldn't he be saying this to Ian?
Oh.
He already possesses the talent of the Sun-level.
That's fine.
The third round of draws has now been completed.
"Round 1: Ian vs. Adam!"
The attention of many key players was also drawn, after all, no one expected that the two strongest players would come out right away.
The attention of several people on the Second Ring Road was also drawn.
The arena.
Adam was not far away from Ian.
"Ian, I'm probably no match for you, but I'd also like to know just how big the gap is between us right now. I hope you won't hold back."
Adam looked at Ian with a serious expression.
"it is good."
Ian nodded.
But he was still prepared to hold back, fearing he might kill Adam if he went all out.
The wizards below watched intently, curious about just how fierce the battle would be.
"start."
The referee shouted loudly.
next second.
Everyone saw that Adam's rock giant had just materialized and was wondering what would happen next.
But the next moment.
A giant hand, enveloped in crimson clouds, has already struck, covering an area of tens of meters.
Hand of Blazing Flames.
The raging flames slammed into the giant, distorting the very air around him.
All the people saw was that the rocks on the giant's body, unable to withstand the intense heat, turned into lava piece by piece.
Adam's figure flew directly out of the giant, seemingly having found Ian's true form.
With a thought, Simon controlled Adam's flying figure. Seeing that Adam was unharmed but unconscious, Simon couldn't help but sigh, "The witchcraft also contained a mental attack, and it just happened to break through his defenses and knock him unconscious. The two of them are no longer on the same level."
"He's got the look of Zilean back then, even better than his teacher's core performance back then."
"He has no rivals left in the academy."
"Wow, that's really strong!"
The two men from the Second Ring Road nearby exchanged a glance and sighed in agreement.
As for the other core trainees, they were completely dumbfounded.
Where's the promised fierce battle?
The other top five players looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering what the point of playing in this situation.
Even if you're accumulating experience, you can't accumulate experience by knocking someone unconscious in one move.
Sure enough, in the ensuing core battle...
Faced with Ian, several of the top five chose to surrender immediately, while Abraham chose to fight.
It's still a one-hit kill.
The third round has ended.
Ian took first place without any controversy. Adam, of course, was already awake by this time. He just looked at Ian not far away and his determination to advance to the second ring was completely solidified.
One link won't work.
Let's compete again on the Second Ring Road.
Abraham, who was not far away, was also looking at Ian and thought the same thing.
"We've got the resources."
2
Back in the Wizard Tower, Ian calmly looked at the resources he had exchanged, but only a few of them increased resonance.
The other resources are used to upgrade the levels mentioned in the knowledge of "Elemental Restoration Technique".
It's not that he doesn't want to increase resonance.
Instead, once the Elemental Return Technique reaches the Master level, it can be supplemented with the Meditation Technique, allowing it to advance to the Perfect level.
-
At that time, all matters concerning meditation and solidified witchcraft will reach perfection.
"At that time, there will likely be a new qualitative change."
Ian's eyes flickered.
It's an intuition, and wizards' intuitions are usually very accurate.
"It will take about three months."
Ian stood by the window, looking at the wizard towers behind the ridge area, which all appeared to be empty.
They have already begun their mission to the battlefield.
However, it's not all a crisis, after all, they are still in a fairly safe academy, and the academy isn't stupid.
It's actually more about training.
Some of the wizards even volunteered to go ahead of time.
"I just don't like this feeling."
Ian shook his head.
His talent can be improved indefinitely, so he doesn't like to take risks to acquire resources.
It's not worth it at all.
He still prefers to learn knowledge steadily, then improve his talents, and then enhance his sense of self.
This is the path he has always chosen.
With the departure of the first core members.
Ian also completely closed the wizard tower, stopped receiving visitors, and began to improve himself.
In the blink of an eye.
Three months later.
"Elemental Return Technique has reached the Master level, and talent has increased by 200."
"7
"Finally reached Master level!"
Ian's eyes flickered, but looking at the mere 200 increase in talent, he couldn't help but shake his head.
It can only be said that the knowledge he has acquired is gradually no longer sufficient for him.
They definitely need to advance.
-
"Fill it in."
Without wasting words, Ian directly chose to supplement it, and various ideas from the meditation method began to swirl in his mind, changing.
Several hours later.
A surge of energy suddenly emanated from Ian, and the four elements seemed to have reached a complete balance within his body.
"So this is what change is all about."
Ian opened his eyes at this moment, and was very surprised.
After his meditation technique was elevated to perfection, his sorcery system finally achieved complete balance.
Even the elements within his body formed a smaller balance, resembling a pseudo-Four Symbols Holy Body.
"Even in this state, my four elements are slowly adjusting, changing some imbalances."
Ian's eyes flickered.
I immediately thought of the benefits of this.
This will not only make his advancement smoother.
Moreover, it also has many benefits for the Four Symbols Sacred Body.
Because of the wizard's personal issues, the resulting physical constitution is definitely different from the standard physical constitution.
This can lead to slight differences, or deviations, in different wizards even with the same constitution or even the same circumstances, and these deviations are generally negative.
Not to mention the Four Symbols Sacred Body, which emphasizes balance.
Don't underestimate this problem; these deviations may even cause problems in training after the second ring.
This small loop can completely solve the problem.
"Even my elemental resonance level is increasing, and I haven't even used any resources."
Ian sighed.
It can only be said that his efforts in completing this system were worthwhile.
It was worth it.
He could sense that his elemental resonance levels would reach their peak in about six months.
It doesn't even require the use of any resources.
"Next, it's time to prepare."
Ian's eyes flickered.
The problem left for him now is to completely resolve some minor issues such as physical training and replenishing his mental energy.
Rinse it!
Time passed little by little.
Three months later, news came from outside the Wizard Tower that Adam had advanced to the second ring and had also invited Ian.
But Ian's wizard tower had been completely closed, so he could only leave with regret.
Then came March.
Abraham also chose to advance to the second ring, and succeeded just as well.
Ian's wizard tower remained closed at this time.
In the blink of an eye.
Another three months have passed.
Inside the wizard's tower room, a pair of eyes suddenly opened; they were Ian's eyes.
-
At this moment, his eyes shone like jewels, which meant that his mental strength had been completely restored.
The aura emanating from his body, and the faintly forming domain, seemed to indicate that his secret marrow cultivation had ended.
Take another look at the panel.
At this point, the resonance of all elements has reached 99.5%, which seems to have reached the theoretical limit.
"Everything is ready."
Ian slowly stood up.
It quickly flew to the main courtyard star palace area.
Upon arriving at the core area, he produced his chief's identification and said, "I wish to use the most advanced elemental pool."
"Purpose?"
Ian looked at him, his body seemingly surging with elemental energy, which startled the guarding wizard!
"Advanced to the second ring!"
