In the main hall of the church.
It was a huge hall with a shiny marble floor and a huge crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling. Hundreds of people could enter the hall without feeling crowded at all.
At the very front of the hall, there was a row of chairs, on which sat the recruiters of the various academies.
At the very center was the location of the test.
The black-robed priest smiled and said in a clear voice, "The location of the test is the center. Those who want to take the test, come one by one. Others are not allowed to enter the circle in the center. Those who want to take the test, please line up. Parents and relatives to the side."
Many parents retreated to the side after hearing the priest's words. They had already given their instructions and encouragement. Now, it was up to the heavens.
Li Yue was alone, so he didn't have to go through so much trouble. He went to line up by himself. The older ones were seventeen or eighteen years old, while the younger ones were only six or seven years old. These children formed two long lines, and the priests of the Holy See also collected the test fees.
One test cost ten gold coins, which was half a year's worth of living expenses for an ordinary family. It was very expensive.
The circle in the center had a diameter of ten meters, and there were three adults inside. Two were in charge of the test, and one was in charge of recording. One of the test tools was a crystal ball, while the other was a complex hexagonal magic array.
"First one."
A white-haired old man stood in front of the crystal ball and pointed at it. "Put your hand on the crystal ball and test your elemental affinity."
The first one was a teenager with brown curly hair. The teenager nervously placed his right hand on the crystal ball. Immediately, the crystal ball began to emit a faint green light.
The old man looked at the paper in his hand and said calmly, "Age 12, elemental affinity, low-grade wind element."
Elemental affinity was the strength of one's ability to sense the magical elements in the world. The higher the affinity, the better one's magical aptitude.
"Now, enter the magic array and test your spiritual energy. Remember, stand straight. Don't kneel or fall. Try to hold on for as long as possible. " The old man's voice was still calm, like clear water. The teenager nodded and stepped into the hexagonal magic array. The old man's body suddenly emitted a holy white light, which merged into the magic array.
Light-element magic — Deterrence!
Li Yue looked at this scene calmly and waited quietly.
After a short while, the young man in the magic array could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.
"Mental strength, about three times that of people of the same age. It's impossible for him to become a magician." The white-haired old man announced indifferently. The magic array stopped operating, and the young man walked out in a dejected manner.
A commotion broke out in the surroundings.
"Quiet, quiet." The old man glanced around. Immediately, the group of nobles dared not make a sound. "Next."
One by one, the youths were tested. Out of the dozens of people, not a single one passed.
The black-robed Heavenly Priest also frowned and muttered to himself, "The children in this area today … are a little bad!"
At the same time, the representatives of many academies were also frowning. Up until now, there had not been a single child who had the aptitude to become a magician. Compared to a few days ago, the quality was much worse.
One by one, the young boys and girls were called over to take the test, but they were all rejected. They lowered their heads dejectedly and returned to their parents' side. Their parents were also very upset, but in front of their children, they could only console them.
"Next!"
Finally, it was Li Yue's turn.
His expression did not change as he walked up to the priest.
"This getup?" In the hall, many people were frowning. They had all seen Li Yue's unconventional manner. Now that they were seeing him face to face, they naturally felt very unhappy.
"No elders accompanying him? A commoner wants to try his luck … "Someone snickered as he stared coldly at Li Yue, his eyes filled with contempt.
Some people were cold. Whether Li Yue was good or bad, it didn't matter to them. In their hearts, they wished that Li Yue was as bad as possible.
Some people were surprised. Li Yue's black hair and black eyes were very rare in the Kingdom of Fenlai. In fact, he looked somewhat similar to the Cult of Shadows, which was said to practice dark magic. Only, Li Yue did not have any dark, negative aura emanating from him. Only, his appearance was unique.
"Place your hand on the crystal ball." The white-haired old man glanced at him and said calmly.
Li Yue nodded. Without saying anything, he raised his hand and placed it on the crystal ball.
One second. Two seconds. Three seconds …
After ten full seconds, the crystal ball didn't react at all. It didn't glow at all. It remained incomparably translucent.
"Age: 13 years old. Elemental affinity: none. Magical aptitude: none. "
What?
Li Yue froze on the spot, his eyes wide open.
"How is this possible? How is this possible …" Who was he? He was the soul fragment of an Overgod, a transmigrator. How could he not have any magical aptitude at all? How could his elemental affinity be 0? How could he not have any affinity with any of the elements in the world?
In other words, he would never be able to sense any of the elements in the world. Never.
"F * * k! Original body, you really are ruthless. "
Li Yue came back to his senses, cursing angrily in his heart.
Without even thinking about it, this had to have been set up by the original body.
Otherwise, how could his magical aptitude be so trashy? His training speed as a warrior was astonishing, but his magical affinity was 0. If this was a coincidence, Li Yue would never believe it.
"In the next moment!"
The white-haired old man's indifferent voice rang out, interrupting Li Yue's train of thought.
He lowered his head and moved his palm away. Then, he walked out of the church step by step. At this moment, this place no longer had any meaning to him.
Before he left, he could feel the piercing gazes behind him. The mocking and cold gazes, as well as the low mocking voices.
"He's really an idiot!"
"A commoner will always be a commoner. However, I really don't see many commoners with such poor aptitude. He doesn't even have any elemental affinity. Could this guy have been abandoned by the gods? He's really trash. "
"Yeah, there aren't many people with such elemental affinity. He can only be a commoner for the rest of his life. Tsk, tsk, tsk. An advantage of bloodline?"
…
Elemental affinity: none.
How ironic.
Li Yue walked out of the church. At this moment, the sky was bright. The glaring sunlight shone from the horizon and fell on his body, drawing a long shadow.
Before coming here, Li Yue had been fantasizing about his magical aptitude. Even if it wasn't superior, it would at least be high. The strength of his spiritual energy would surpass that of an ordinary person by who knows how much. He would also be a magical genius.
However, the stark reality directly knocked him out of his fantasy. F * ck, he was actually a good-for-nothing with an elemental affinity of 0.
What the f * ck.
"Go to the warrior academy to take the test?" Li Yue muttered to himself. His gaze was resolute. "No, no need!"
"My purpose in going to the warrior academy was only for the secret technique of fighting aura. Now that I have it, I naturally don't need to waste time learning with that bunch of brats!"
Rather than waste time going to some warrior academy, he might as well train by himself and hone his skills in battle.
Whew.
Li Yue let out a long breath. He turned around and glanced at the Light Church behind him. Then, he fiercely stuck out his middle finger and left without looking back.
The magic test was over. He didn't want to waste time on the warrior test. Then … he might as well directly move on to the next part of his plan.
"So what if I don't have elemental affinity? Could it be that I can't become an expert? In this world, aside from the Elemental Laws, there are also the Highest Edicts. "
"I admit that I don't have elemental affinity. I don't even have the ability to understand the Edicts!"
In this world, the Seven Elemental Laws were Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, Light, Darkness, and Thunder. The Four Highest Edicts were Death, Destruction, Life, and Fate.
The path of a warrior was to slowly gain insights into the Seven Elemental Laws or the Four Highest Edicts, step by step. Step by step, one would become a Saint-level combatant, a Demigod, a God, a Highgod, and finally a Paragon Highgod.
Regardless of whether it was the Laws or the Edicts, the final path was the same.
Since Li Yue was unable to walk the path of the Laws, then he would walk the path of the Edicts. It was the same, after all. The only difference was the name and difficulty.
Outside Fenlai City, Li Yue left this place. Without looking back, he headed towards the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts.
The Mountain Range of Magical Beasts was the next step of his plan.
"I will return. And that day won't be too far away!"
Author's Note: Fourth Update. Mm, the plot is a bit slow. It's near the end of the year. I've been busy. To be honest, I haven't slept since last night. I haven't slept for nearly forty hours. I've been so busy with work that I've drunk over ten cups of coffee. My eyes have been glued to my computer the entire time.
But I still have to thank all of you for your support. I've read all of your comments.
Awesome, bro. On behalf of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, I thank all of you for your support.
I wish all of you the best of luck in the new year. Hopefully, all of you will be able to find a handsome Adonis. O(∩_∩)O~
