In the plaza in front of the Baruch Academy, everyone stared in shock at Zhou Tong.
3600 times the spiritual energy. What sort of concept was this?
Most people probably wouldn't be able to reach this level of spiritual energy in their entire lives, but this was just the starting point for this golden-haired child!
Aside from their shock, some of the more talented magicians also felt downcast.
The end point that they had dreamed of for their entire lives was just another person's starting point. For something like this to happen right in front of their eyes made them feel even more despair.
Even Austin, who had brought Zhou Tong over, was shocked. Although he had hoped that Zhou Tong would pass the elemental essence affinity test, this result was simply too unbelievable. He had never heard of anyone who could exhaust a magus to the point of exhaustion in the elemental essence affinity test. This was completely unprecedented. It was simply too astonishing.
"Genius! Too genius. This alone has already broken the historical record! "The magus in charge of the ceremony, after recovering from his shock, became excited.
"I should be considered to have passed the test, right?" Zhou Tong looked at the magus.
"Please wait here for a moment. This matter must be notified to the Headmaster!" After calming himself down, the magus immediately realized that this wasn't something he could handle. He had to notify the Headmaster of the Academy of Magic and Force – Linley.
Indeed, the Headmaster of the Baruch Academy was Linley. Although he didn't manage anything, and was only a figurehead, he was still the Headmaster. There was nothing for it. The Baruch Kingdom hadn't even been formally established yet. Within the kingdom, the most skilled magus was Linley, an Arch Magus of the ninth rank.
The magus immediately called out to his subordinates, instructing them to go notify the person who could manage this matter.
There was no way this matter would be settled so easily. He hadn't even officially entered the school, but his spiritual energy had already reached the level of a magus of the seventh rank. This was the standard for a graduate.
Entering the school meant graduating. If he didn't notify the person who could make the decisions, he really wouldn't know what to do.
"Finally, I'm going to make contact with the upper echelons of the kingdom!" Zhou Tong still stood there calmly.
He did not have the time to attend classes and study according to the standards of the Magic Academy. According to the procedures of the Magic Academy, even if he could reach the first level in one semester, it would still take him at least three years to graduate.
These three years were wasted because the magic academy wouldn't teach seventh, eighth, or ninth tier magic spells. One had to rely on a certain power to learn high-level magic spells.
Therefore, Zhou Tong's little show was to attract the attention of the upper echelons of the kingdom. After attracting their attention, as long as he showed a certain amount of "loyalty", he might be able to take a shortcut.
"Speaking of which, my parents died because of the struggle between the Holy Church and the Dark Church. Now that I think about it, I'm on the same side as Linley … Zhou Tong thought to himself.
In truth, before Linley had entered the Anarchic Lands, most of the wars in the Anarchic Lands had to do with the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows.
These two churches needed to spread their faith. They needed faith. This sort of thing was easy to spread in the Anarchic Lands. Thus, the vast majority of the conflicts in the Anarchic Lands had to do with these two churches. Strictly speaking, it could be said that everyone in the Anarchic Lands had either direct or indirect enmity with these two churches.
At the gates of the Baruch Academy.
The testing was still going on, but Zhou Tong was already seated next to the testing magi. He was asking them for guidance on meditation techniques.
Meditation was the foundation of all magi. Whether it was absorbing elemental essence into mageforce, or increasing one's spiritual energy, one had to go through meditation. This was the foundation of all magi's training, and the first step in every magus' training. Thus, these magi didn't try to hide anything from Zhou Tong. Instead, they enthusiastically taught him how to meditate.
"So that's how it is. So this is a meditation technique …" Zhou Tong nodded to himself.
He had been in this world for six years now. Although he had always been able to sense the earth, fire, and water elemental essences, he had never tried to absorb them. This was because he didn't know what the meditation techniques of this world were.
Being a magus was a very meticulous profession. Without any legacies, if one casually absorbed the elemental essences of the world, who knew what would happen? The training methods of other worlds might not necessarily work in this world.
After receiving the meditation technique, Zhou Tong impatiently began to train in it.
The meditation technique, to be precise, was a special training method for the soul. It was specifically used to sense the various elemental essences of the world.
As soon as he entered the meditative state, Zhou Tong immediately began to emanate a powerful aura. His spiritual energy, with the meditation technique as the core, began to once more gather together. His previously scattered spiritual energy began to gather together at an unimaginable speed into his sea of consciousness.
Just the wisps of spiritual energy emanating from him were enough to cause the nearby magi to feel their hearts tremble.
This surge of spiritual energy was simply too terrifying. It made them feel as though they were facing a grand magus of the eighth or even the ninth rank.
These people couldn't help but be aghast. They had underestimated this child.
However, Zhou Tong didn't mind at all. He continued to meditate and reorganize his spiritual energy.
Moreover, the speed at which it was being reorganized was simply too fast. The scattered spiritual energy gathered in his sea of consciousness and gradually turned into a vast ocean. It then continued to condense, and directly condensed into a spirit crystal in his sea of consciousness.
"A spirit crystal of this level, in this world's terms, should be at the level of a ninth rank magus. If I take another small step forward, I should be able to reach the sacred domain!" Zhou Tong thought to himself. "But from the looks of it, I should still need another half a year to a year before I can continue to transform and truly become a sacred domain!"
"Yes, I'm a four-elemental soul mutation. The upper limit of my soul far surpasses others. Before reaching the divine level, the limit of my soul's strength is likely to surpass that of a lesser deity. It might even grow to the level of an intermediate deity! "
"However, now that the spiritual energy has been reorganized, it's time for magical energy!"
As he continued to meditate, the magical elements representing the three elements of earth, water, and fire in the void immediately converged into a long river of three colors. It directly entered Zhou Tong's body, causing his entire body to emit a red, yellow, and blue radiance.
This time, the magi were even more astonished. Just by practicing, the elemental elements that were activated were actually so dense that they could be seen with the naked eye. It was simply inconceivable.
After the massive amount of magical elements entered his body, they directly condensed in his middle dantian. They were then refined into wisps of magical energy. Very quickly, wisps of dense fog exuding an earthy yellow, aqua blue, and crimson red color appeared in his middle dantian.
In the Coiling Dragon world, the lower dantian was where the fighting aura was stored, the middle dantian was where the magical energy was stored, and the upper dantian was where the spiritual energy was stored.
If one were to practice either magic or warrior, there would be an empty dantian in the body. Practicing both magic and warrior was the best way to utilize one's potential before reaching the divine level in this world.
