The emergence of a Blue-rank Intermediate Magician drew more eyes than that of a Blue rank Warrior.
After all, a Mage’s lethality was widespread.
When Kleyena walked down from the stage, the number of gazes that fell upon her noticeably increased.
She sent a look towards Ye Yinzhu, who was about to go on stage, seemingly saying, “I’ve made it into the next round, now it’s your turn.”
Ye Yinzhu, after all, was also a young man, spurred by Kleyena’s challenge, a petitive spirit arose within him.
However, being battle-hardened, once he stepped onto the testing platform, his emotions had calmed down.
His right hand slowly rested on the testing crystal, and as the tester announced the start, a blue glow also emerged from the crystal.
However, the color was lighter than Kleyena’s.
After Ye Yinzhu stepped down from the stage, Kleyena couldn’t help but say, “So you’re a Blue-rank Initial Magician.
At your age, that’s pretty good.
But I couldn’t tell what attribute of Magic you specialize in.
Why didn’t I feel any specific magical attribute when you used the testing crystal just now?”
Ye Yinzhu’s heart tightened secretly; the Mana he had channeled through his Divine Source Magic Robe was pure Non-elemental, naturally there would not be any manifestation of magical properties.
He hadn’t expected Kleyena to observe so carefully.
His face revealed a hint of mystery, “You’ll naturally find out in the trials, Miss.”
Just like the martial skill petition, shortly after the initial trial for Magic, the results were announced.
Both Ye Yinzhu and Kleyena entered the next round without any suspense thanks to their Blue-rank strength.
Ye Yinzhu also received a number fifty-nine badge, a Magic Robe, and a head cover.
“Ye Su, I want to talk to you about the day after tomorrow’s trials,” Kleyena, who had also collected her petition items, didn’t leave but waited for Ye Yinzhu to e down.
Ye Yinzhu was stunned, “What’s there to discuss about the trials?”
Kleyena said, “You don’t know the specifics of the trials.
The trials will involve actual Magic contests.
Then, based on the evaluation of magic control and individual strength, participants will be eliminated round by round until the last five are decided.
I don’t know how the petition for samurais is carried out, but for us Mages, it’s supposed to be in the form of teams.
Five people to a team, selecting partners through a draw for the first round.
After the first round, half of the petitors will be eliminated.
Then there will be another draw for new groupings, still in teams of five.
This time, what’s left will only be twenty-five people.
With these twenty-five, there will be another draw, but this time it will be in pairs, peting one-on-one.
The extra person gets a bye, which is a matter of luck.
As you should know, amongst us Mages, luck is also very important.
After the third round, thirteen will remain.
There will be one final round of drawing, where the person with a bye in the previous round must not have a bye again.
After this round, only seven will remain.
The last round, going from seven to five.
The person with a bye in the fourth round will have to pete against one of the other three pairs determined by a new draw, meaning a one-on-two situation.
Thus, getting a bye in the fourth round isn’t necessarily a good thing.
After the final round, based on the display of magical power during the match, five will be chosen from these seven to enter the finals.
As for what happens in the finals, let’s talk about it when we make it there.”
Indeed, the next round was much more plicated than the preliminary one.
And it was all carried out in one day; to bee one of the final five, one would have to fight five continuous battles, demanding high standards of strength, control, and wisdom.
“Kleyena, what exactly are you trying to say by telling me all this?” Ye Yinzhu asked, keeping his posure.
Kleyena said, “I want to cooperate with you.”
“Cooperate?” Ye Yinzhu looked at her somewhat surprised.
“Yes, cooperate.
There’s a chance we might be drawn together.
If that happens, I hope you can collaborate with me, to go as far as possible.
With our strengths bined, perhaps we can make it into the top seven.
Then, just put up a good fight, and making it into the top five isn’t impossible.”
Ye Yinzhu was stunned for a moment; he didn’t quite understand Kleyena’s intentions.
First, the drawing itself held uncertainty, how could she be sure they would end up in the same team?
Secondly, judging from the strength displayed during the test, Kleyena should realize her strength was above his; such cooperation didn’t seem to offer her any benefits but would be quite beneficial to himself.
What exactly was this girl thinking?
Seeing the doubtful light in Ye Yinzhu’s eyes, Kleyena said, “Don’t get me wrong, I am not trying to help you.
But in this Magic vs Martial Skills petition, everyone is scheming, and even if drawn as teammates, there are few who would actually help each other.
However, since we know each other, it would be beneficial for us to work together if we want to go further, right?”
Ye Yinzhu nodded, Kleyena had a point, but he still felt it wasn’t that simple.
“Let’s talk about it if we really end up in the same group.
There will be multiple rounds of drawing; even if we are grouped together once or twice, it’s not possible to always be in the same group, right?
Didn’t you say I was a ‘liar without a single honest bone’?
Do you trust me that much?”
Kleyena smiled slightly, “You don’t need to worry about that.
Just agree to it.
I’m not wrong about people.
But, since we’re going to collaborate, you should at least tell the truth.
Tell me, what attribute of a Mage are you, exactly?
Do you have a Magical Beast?
This is important.
During the contest, Mages are allowed to summon their own Magical Beasts.”
Ye Yinzhu said somewhat helplessly, “I am a Spiritual Attribute Mage, with no Magical Beasts.”
“A Spiritual Attribute Mage?” Kleyena was surprised, well aware that the Spiritual Attribute was one of the hardest to master in all of magic studies.
But she was still somewhat disappointed because Ye Yinzhu didn’t have a Magical Beast.
Mages who weren’t adept at close bat greatly benefited from having a Magical Beast; not only could it attack the enemy, but it could also provide better protection for themselves.
“It’s a pity that there isn’t enough time, otherwise, I should have helped you find a Magical Beast first.”
Ye Yinzhu looked into Kleyena’s disappointed eyes and said, “It’s okay, you can still change your mind.
Without a Magical Beast, I might hold you back.”
However, Kleyena firmly shook her head, “How can I change my decision now?
What does it matter if there’s no Magical Beast?
You are a rare Spirit Mage, and I believe in your strength.
It’s late, I need to go.
You should head back and rest early too.
Goodbye.” After bidding farewell to Ye Yinzhu, the beautiful girl hurried away and disappeared into the crowd.
Watching Kleyena’s retreating figure, Ye Yinzhu’s fondness for her unconsciously grew.
This girl’s character was really good.
He had to help her, absolutely had to get her into the top five of this Magic petition.
Returning to the hotel became troublesome since there were too many people going back to the city at the same time.
Through the connection of their spirits, Ye Yinzhu found Zi and the others.
Since it wasn’t easy to go back, the four of them simply found a forest not far from the large campus to rest.
According to the petition rules, tomorrow would be the literary match’s rematch.
The day after tomorrow would be the rematch of the Martial skill field, and the day after that would be the Magic field.
Once all the rematches conclude and the top five are decided, there would be one day of rest before the final petition on the sixth day.
The final petition schedule was similar to today’s preliminaries.
The three final matches would take place in the morning, afternoon, and evening, respectively.
That night, Ye Yinzhu did not fully immerse himself in cultivation, because his heart couldn’t calm down.
In his mind, there was only the image of Sura.
For the first time, he so eagerly wished time would pass faster so that he could see Sura sooner.
…
Faran.
Seven massive magic glows converged at once, and the golden barrier in front of them seemed to bee more solid.
Countless dazzling and strange golden symbols flowed within.
Everything around them quieted down.
All chanting also stopped at this moment.
At each of the seven points of the giant Magic Formation Septagram, a Mage stood, symbolizing the pinnacle of the Magic Realm on the Ryuzakinus Continent.
Now, their expressions relaxed a bit.
The magic glow from hundreds of surrounding Mages gradually vanished, and astonishingly, most of these clearly aged Mages were releasing a purple glow.
Only a few emitted a blue light.
They all looked very tired, and as the magic glow faded from their bodies, they immediately entered a meditative state to cultivate.
“It’s finally stabilized.
I hope it can last longer this time,” sighed Tower Master Aubrey.
As the leader of Faran’s Seven Towers, he had expended the most Mana.
The Water Tower Master Silas smiled, “This time, the seal’s reinforcement went smoothly.
This way, we will have time to prepare a more solid Seal.
In these ten years of closure, our goal is to permanently stabilize the Seal.
This would greatly benefit the humans of the Ryuzakinus Continent.”
Aubrey smiled, “That’s what I’m thinking.
If we can pletely stabilize the Seal within these ten years, we won’t have to worry about threats from that dimension for the next century.
Frankly, I have grown to respect the Divine Dragons of the Eastern Dragon Empire more and more.
Only by continuously understanding the strength of this Seal can one imagine how powerful they were back then.
Especially the core of the Seal, the Divine Dragon King.
Its power is beyond even our imagination.”
“Aubrey, I need to talk to you about something,” said Master of the Dark Tower, Slone, with a somber expression.
Aubrey was taken aback, looking towards Slone, “What is it?”
Slone gazed at the Seal in front of him, “I must leave Faran for a while.
There are some things I have to deal with.”
