Although there was no way to tell time in the underground world, an elite wizard could still feel the arrival of dawn.
Abel didn't enter the Dark World yesterday. He was meditating and practicing the blue dragon "ice crystal breathing technique." Afterward, he went to sleep and woke up in the morning.
After he washed up, his wizard badge began to vibrate in his portal bag.
He took out his wizard badge and connected with his power of the will. A voice emerged from the badge.
"Wizard Abel, I am Wizard Frank. Captain Hogg asked me to call you to the first floor of the office!" A deep voice emerged.
"Wizard Frank, I'll be right there!" Abel replied.
He teleported directly from the short-distance teleportation circle to the corridor on the first floor of the underground space. When he walked into the office, he saw a rank 17 wizard waiting for him. As soon as he saw him, he quickly walked over.
"Wizard Abel, I am Wizard Frank. Please follow me!" Wizard Frank smiled and bowed.
Abel knew Wizard Frank. Although he didn't introduce himself, they had met in the war against the Blizzards.
"Wizard Frank, thank you so much!" Abel thanked and followed Wizard Frank to the short distance teleportation circle on the left side of the office.
"Wizard Abel, I'll take you there today. From now on, you can directly teleport from your room to the training area!" Wizard Frank stood on the short distance teleportation circle and said to Abel. Afterward, he ignited the short distance teleportation circle.
When Abel got out of the teleportation circle, he saw a spacious room. The room was about 20 meters tall. There were many strange facilities. All the wizards he saw were elite wizards. He sensed that he was already above ground.
"This is where all the teams train. Most of them are elite wizards from the reserve team. Official team members only come here when they don't have a mission!" Wizard Frank smiled and explained.
By this point, Wizard Frank put his hand on Abel's shoulder. Abel did not reject. He and Wizard Frank turned into white light and disappeared from the spot.
Let alone lightning wizards, even normal advanced wizards used the "move in a flash" instead of walking. In the territory of a wizard organization, there was no restriction on the use of "move in a flash." It could speed up the pace of movement and save a lot of time.
After a few flashes, Abel saw Wizard Hogg and the 8 members of his team. There were also 8 rank 16 and 17 wizards on the side.
"Captain Hogg, I've brought Wizard Abel!" Wizard Frank bowed.
"You can join the team!" Said Wizard Hogg with a nod, and Wizard Frank flashed back to the official team.
"Today, we have a new member in our team. He is the 19 year old prodigy Wizard Abel from the subcontinent. All the official members have already seen him!" Wizard Hogg said with a smile.
"Captain, of course we've seen him. No one will forget his mana cannon!" A rank 19 wizard yelled.
"Yi Wensi, you only remember his mana cannon. Did you know that Wizard Abel is also a Grandmaster Blacksmith?" Wizard Hogg said to Yi Wensi with a smile.
You could see the atmosphere between the official members of the third team was very good. They were very casual with each other, and it was natural to get close to each other.
"Grandmaster Blacksmith? Too bad we don't have any blacksmiths in the Lightning Clan. Wizard Abel's ability is such a waste. I always thought only the dwarves could become a Grandmaster Blacksmith!" Wizard Yi Wensi said in shock.
The Lightning Clan didn't have any blacksmiths. Blacksmiths were just too rare among wizards. Blacksmiths required a lot of power and a lot of time to practice. It was very conflicting with a wizard's own training.
"Yi Wensi, I know Abel was recognized as a Grandmaster Blacksmith in the subcontinent because of his ability to make magic staffs!" Wizard Hogg said with a smile. He knew a lot about Abel. Every member of the Lightning Clan needed to know a lot about them.
He got a lot of information about Abel from the Wizard Union branch in the Holy Continent. Just by looking at the information, he could tell that Abel's short life as a wizard was a legend.
Therefore, he took the initiative to ask Abel to join his team.
"Wizard Abel, our magic staffs will depend on you from now on!" Wizard Yi Wensi's eyes were burning with passion. The other team members were the same.
Although there were as many as five Blacksmith Grand Masters in the Central Continent, they were all dwarven Blacksmith Grand Masters. It was very rare to see them in person. Even if one were to invite a dwarf Blacksmith Grand Master, the price would be very high.
"No problem. As long as you provide the materials, I can make magic staffs anytime!" Abel didn't reject. Making magic staffs was a piece of cake for him.
"Captain, someone like Wizard Abel shouldn't join the battle. He should stay in the organization and protect us!" A rank 19 wizard named Harold said.
He saw Abel only used the mana cannon and didn't use his own ability. He didn't know how powerful Abel was, so he suggested.
Wizard Hogg said, "There are two reasons why I asked Wizard Abel to come today. First, everyone in the team is free, so we can get to know each other. Second, I want to test Abel's potential. He is a 19 years old elite wizard. I don't want a genius like him to become a professional blacksmith!"
Wizard Harold realized that Abel was not only a Grandmaster Blacksmith, but he was also a genius wizard. He became an elite wizard at the age of 19. If his lightning talent was a little stronger, it would only be a matter of time before he broke through rank 20.
Up to this point, he didn't raise any more objections. Everything depended on Abel's test results.
"Captain, what do I need to test?" Abel didn't understand.
"Wizard Abel, lightning talent is also divided into levels. Next, we need to test your lightning talent. It will be very important for you to break through to rank 20 in the future!" Wizard Hogg explained.
Abel nodded and watched as Wizard Hogg took out his wizard badge.
"Lightning spirit, apply for the lightning talent test!" Wizard Hogg yelled.
"Application accepted!" A mechanical voice came from the sound transmission array. Then a mechanical voice came from the ground, and a black square stone rose from the ground.
"Wizard Abel, this is the lightning talent test stone. Put away all your elemental enhancement items and use only your own elemental ability to cast a lightning spell to attack it!" Wizard Hogg said to Abel.
"Ok!" Abel nodded.
He put away the snake magician skin and the Jordan stone into his Valaya's ring. He also put the giant fire life amulet into his personal storage box. He did all this with his power of the will. Others could only see what happened to his equipment, but they couldn't see the details.
Of course, no one in the team would scan him with their power of the will in front of everyone.
After everything was ready, Abel reached forward with his empty right hand. A lightning spell pattern emerged, and a bolt of lightning shot towards the black square stone.
Arcs of lightning flashed on the black square stone. The 'lightning' spell didn't damage it at all. It was clear that this black square stone wasn't an ordinary stone.
"Lightning elemental damage 337!" The lightning spirit's mechanical voice emerged.
Wizard Hogg couldn't help but freeze. This was the maximum damage a lightning spell could do without any equipment.
He looked at Abel with passion. If Abel was allowed to grow like normal, there was a high chance that another lightning-type law-defying wizard would emerge from the lightning clan.
"Today's result must be kept a secret!" Wizard Hogg lowered his voice with a serious look.
"Yes, captain!" Everyone in the team knew what this result meant. There were many enemies of the lightning clan in the Central Continent who wouldn't want another Elder Hal.
"Harold, Wizard Abel's talent is more important than his Grandmaster Blacksmith ability, so he will participate in the team's mission according to the rules!" Wizard Hogg lowered his voice to Wizard Harold.
Wizard Harold nodded. Although becoming a Grandmaster Blacksmith was important, Abel's lightning talent and the fact that he was already an elite wizard at the age of nineteen meant that he was destined to become a lightning law-defying wizard.
Lightning law-defying wizards were extremely powerful even among the law-defying wizards. There was no way they would let someone like that become a blacksmith in the organization.
If he wanted to become a law-defying wizard, he would need a large amount of resources. No one would give those resources to Abel. Instead, Abel would have to fight for them himself.
Some resources could be bought, but for resources like light gems, the only way to get them was to fight against a Saint Knight on the battlefield.
The 8 members of the preparatory team no longer complained about the fact that Abel was given a 10 story residence. Let's not talk about anything else. Abel was a Grandmaster Blacksmith, so it was natural for him to have a 10 story residence.
With the talent that Abel had shown, it was only natural for him to have a higher floor residence.
"Wizard Abel, do you want to challenge an official member?" Wizard Hogg asked Abel.
"Captain, I want to challenge!" Abel's eyes flashed with determination as he nodded.
He needed a large amount of light gems to train. Although he had a lot of light gems, it wasn't enough for him to train for a long time. He was different from other elite wizards. He had powerful summons that could protect him in battle, and he didn't lack any means of attack.
"Wizard Frank, you fight Wizard Abel!" Wizard Hogg turned to Wizard Frank and said.
"Yes, captain!" Wizard Frank nodded helplessly. This kind of battle was hard to do. It was only right to win, but it would be embarrassing if he lost.
The official members of the Lightning clan would not become reserves. As long as they could challenge an official member, they could become an official member. This was why there were 10 wizards in the 3rd team.
"Lightning spirit, I want to challenge mode!" Wizard Hogg took out his wizard badge again and said.
Soon, a square ring rose from the ground in front of the wizards. It was 200 meters long and wide. It was big enough for 2 elite wizards to fight on.
"Wizard Abel, I won't go easy on you!" Wizard Frank flashed and appeared on the ring with a smile.
At the same time, Abel appeared on the stage and let out Johnson. When Johnson's giant body appeared on the stage, Wizard Frank was not surprised at all.
He had seen Johnson before, but as long as Johnson didn't use the mana cannon, a giant summoned creature like that wouldn't pose a threat to him since he could move in a flash.
"Begin!" WIzard Hogg commanded, and the challenge began.
Abel sensed danger as soon as he heard Wizard Hogg's command. He flashed away and dodged a lightning spell from Wizard Frank.
It was the fastest spell casting speed he had ever seen. He rarely encountered wizards with lightning talent, so he wasn't familiar with fighting with lightning talent wizards. If it wasn't for his sense of danger, he would've been hit by the "lightning" spell.
Wizard Frank was also shocked. He had a lot of experience. Before Wizard Hogg made the announcement, he had already drawn the lightning spell pattern and kept it in his hand.
This was allowed by the rules, but Wizard Hogg and the other elite wizards in the team did not mention it to Abel. They didn't want Abel to pass the challenge on the first try.
They were not trying to give Abel a hard time. They just wanted to give Abel some pressure. This was how they treated all the newbies. If things went too smoothly, newbies would become complacent, which was fatal on the battlefield.
When Wizard Frank ignited the lightning spell, he thought Abel would be hit by it, but he did not expect Abel to react faster than him.
