"Elemental affinity, light element, average. Not qualified!" The magus in charge of the test spoke out, telling the boy to scram.
The entire plaza was filled with dismay. In an entire morning, only a single student had met the requirements. This sort of test was simply too difficult.
"Next. Place your hand on the crystal ball!" The magus gestured for Zhou Tong to step forward.
Zhou Tong's face was calm as he walked in, neither sad nor happy. Now that he knew his own talent, he wasn't worried at all about this sort of test, much less nervous.
But just because Zhou Tong wasn't nervous didn't mean that Austin, who had brought him here, wasn't nervous either. Austin very much hoped that his homeland would give birth to another peerless expert, and this elemental affinity test was actually a symbol of that expert's potential.
This was because Austin knew very well that the truly peerless experts of the continent wouldn't have weak elemental affinity.
Under Austin's nervous gaze, Zhou Tong calmly placed his hand on the crystal ball. Instantly …
Like the sun rising from the horizon, the entire crystal ball suddenly became incomparably dazzling, and a resplendent light shot out in all directions. Even the impatient-looking magus in charge of the test revealed a look of surprise.
One could clearly see that earthen yellow, aqua blue, and crimson light were intertwining within the crystal ball. The light was so dazzling that many nearby people couldn't help but squint their eyes, not daring to look directly at it.
The previously noisy plaza instantly fell silent. The nervous Austin opened his eyes wide as he stared at Zhou Tong in astonishment.
The magus in charge of the test was stunned as well. This was a true, peerless genius!
"Age: six years old. Elemental affinity: earth, water, and fire, exceptional!" This person's heart was beating rapidly. He had been in charge of this test for half a month, but this was the first time he had seen such talent.
Exceptional talent in three elements. This sort of talent had already surpassed the talent of the founder of the Baruch Kingdom, Linley. Linley had first become famous as a dual-element magus of the seventh rank. But now, a three-element magus had appeared, and a three-element magus at that!!
Generally speaking, those with medium elemental affinity were qualified to become a mage. High elemental affinity was already a rare attribute, and as for superior elemental affinity, it was even rarer. Even in a small country, it was difficult to find more than a handful of Superior attributes, let alone three Superior attributes.
Superior Elemental Affinity could be said to be three times faster than Superior Elemental Affinity and ten times faster than Intermediate Elemental Affinity. This was a genuine increase in cultivation speed!!
"Hua!"
What followed was the exclamations of the entire square. His elemental affinity was actually superior, and it was three elements at that. This was too terrifying.
"Oh my god, superior talent, and it's even three elements. This kind of talent is too amazing!"
"Legend has it that Lord Linley only has two superior-grade Earth and Wind Elements, but he has three. This …"
Countless people were shocked. Countless people looked at Zhou Tong with fiery gazes. They already saw him as a rising star. Of course, there were also people who were jealous.
"Hmph, it's just elemental affinity. I haven't tested the strength of my mental strength yet. What if my mental strength isn't even comparable to an ordinary person's?"
"That's right, if his mental strength isn't up to standard, then it'll be interesting!!"
Some people who were jealous secretly cursed.
"Please enter the magic array to test your mental strength!" Zhou Tong's talent won the approval of the mage hosting the ceremony. Although he was only a six-year-old child, he still gave him enough respect.
Zhou Tong nodded slightly and followed the mage's guidance into the magic array to test his mental strength. Immediately, a warm white light lit up, and then a wave of pressure directly acted on his soul.
Light-element magic — Deterrence.
This was a type of magic that could intimidate the soul. This magic was also the simplest way to test one's mental strength. The longer one could persist, the stronger their mental strength.
Of course, this kind of mental pressure was just a light breeze to Zhou Tong.
This was because his soul was a four-elemental soul mutation of earth, water, fire, and destruction. From the moment he was born, his mental strength continued to grow, grow, and grow as time passed, as if there was no limit to it.
A four-elemental soul mutation expert could directly obtain the symbol of Great Perfection — Will Power. Although he hadn't given birth to Will Power, it wasn't something that ordinary magic could interfere with.
Zhou Tong stood alone in the middle of the magic array.
As time passed, the light of the magic array became brighter and brighter. Naturally, the power of deterrence also became stronger and stronger. However, everyone in the square held their breaths.
But everyone understood that this child already had a bright future. This was because the only person who had passed before didn't last as long as he did.
An unbelievable three-elemental affinity, coupled with an extremely powerful mental strength. As long as he didn't die midway, his future was already needless to say.
"Based on my previous observations, my current mental strength should be two hundred times that of my peers … but this level of mental strength isn't even scratching the surface of my limits …" Zhou Tong understood how exaggerated his performance was.
However, he didn't mind being a bit more exaggerated, because he wanted to attract the attention of the upper echelons of the Baruch Kingdom.
At this point in time, Linley was already a Saint-level. He had to seize every opportunity to become more powerful. Otherwise, not only would he miss out on the opportunity to enter the Necropolis of the Gods, he would also become the plaything of the Gods in the future.
In the Coiling Dragon world, as long as one had enough comprehension, one could stay at home and train to the Great Perfection. But if one wanted to grow quickly, one needed a certain amount of resources. One had to enter the upper echelons of society to broaden one's horizons.
Magic was an important resource in the early stages, because every single magical incantation was a simplified version of the profound mysteries of the Laws.
Thus, Zhou Tong decided to show off a bit.
Time passed, slowly, slowly.
The light of the magic array grew brighter and brighter. Finally, the light reached a limit, and then it was extinguished. The magus in charge of the magic array had a look of exhaustion on his face as he stared at Zhou Tong in astonishment.
This magic array required a magus to pour his mageforce into it in order to activate it.
He was a magus of the sixth rank, but he was so exhausted that he couldn't even determine the spiritual energy of this person in front of him?
"Spiritual energy … spiritual energy is at least 3600 times greater than that of someone of the same age!" The magus in charge of the ceremony was completely stunned. This level of spiritual energy had reached the level of a magus of the sixth rank, and this wasn't even his limit!
Because the magus in charge of the test was only of the sixth rank, the most he could determine was that he was of the sixth rank!!
And judging from how relaxed he looked, it was possible that he was far from reaching his limit. This sort of test would probably only be able to determine a small portion of his power. He was most likely of the seventh rank!
"A natural born grand magus of the seventh rank …" The magus was incomparably stunned as he sighed in amazement.
According to the classification of magi, magi of the first and second rank were junior magi, magi of the third and fourth rank were mid-ranked magi, magi of the fifth and sixth rank were high-ranked magi, magi of the seventh rank were 'grand magi', magi of the eighth rank were 'magus', magi of the ninth rank were 'grand magus', and magi of the Saint-level were 'sacred magus'.
"3600 times the spiritual energy of a magus of the sixth rank? Then what level is 3600? "Hearing the words of the magus in charge of the ceremony, Zhou Tong mentally compared himself.
This ceremony had only been able to determine one percent of his spiritual energy.
And Zhou Tong knew very well that this was only the quantification of spiritual energy. It couldn't determine its quality. His spiritual energy definitely wasn't just of the seventh rank; it might even be higher.
