After a momentary daze, Li Xiang quickly calmed down. Did he not choose Lighthouse Academy because Ye Tong would come?
However, he did not know how Ye Tong convinced the Bai family to give up the most suitable King's University to study in Lighthouse Academy, which was plagued by the Gates of the Abyss.
"The school board has decided to let Shadow take over the position of the dean of Torch Academy. The previous dean of Yao Lie disappeared after the tarot card invasion incident. Considering that she was seriously injured and would not be able to recover in a short period of time, she was officially removed from her position. Also, Dean Lei Lin will be developing a large amount of military equipment recently. Your homework will be given to another Chessboard Academy teacher for guidance. Is that okay? "
Vice-headmaster Jeffrey was writing documents with his head lowered. When he said this, he suddenly paused.
"No problem." Li Xiang shook his head. His mechanical ability was already more outstanding than many teachers. Changing teachers was just to deal with the monthly tests.
"Right, Shadow said that she wants to guide you in the introductory Assassin class. You'll learn from her in the future."
"Yes."
"One more thing. At the beginning of next month, the school will arrange a welcoming banquet for the new students. You'll be the representative of the older students to welcome them in. Look at the time, don't clash with your cultivation." Jeffrey slowly raised his head and looked at this disciple.
At this time last year, he insisted on letting Li Xiang cultivate all four elements at the same time. He brought him step by step to his current level when many people did not think highly of him.
Jeffrey smiled with relief. This was probably the best decision he had made in his life. He helped Li Xiang climb up regardless of the cost.
In just a short year, Li Xiang had grown into a top Level-3 Magician. He could fight with students from famous universities such as the Zero Hour Source Style in the School Championship Competition. He could even defeat opponents at the level of Gong Yang Jian and Fenix in the trial!
Even if he was put on the same level as Bai Ling, Bai Lihu, and the others, no one would object.
This batch of top young Magicians was about to face the toughest test — the Player Assessment. Only those who passed this trial could truly break free from their current level and enter a brand new world.
No one knew how many of these people would fall in the player assessment, but as long as they could walk out successfully and become players, they would be able to participate in the game of higher levels, and the situation of the Seven Continents would change once again.
Their group of oldest players was gradually withering away. Even if their strength was still there, as they grew older, their lifespan would come to an end, and they would soon lose their combat ability. Therefore, they were more concerned about this moment of transition, and how strong the younger generation that was about to replace them was.
This was a heavy shackle that every human player had to bear, as well as a heavy responsibility.
I hope you won't disappoint me. Geoffrey thought to himself as he waved his hand to indicate that he could leave.
From the beginning to the end, there was no mention of the Gate of the Abyss.
The next morning, Li Xiang, who had just started his morning exercise, was forcefully pulled into Ying's room through the Void Fissure. Just like last time, the floor was filled with weapons and armor, making it difficult for him to walk. Ying was only wearing a thin nightgown, which was not much different from being naked.
She grabbed Li Xiang by the back of his collar and hurriedly took him to the underground training room, where a very familiar person was sitting — Hestria.
Hestria looked at Ying and Li Xiang and chuckled, and teased, "If the students see you like this, you won't be able to explain yourself."
"Humph, I'm several times older than him. What can happen?" Ying patted Li Xiang's head disdainfully. "He's just a little brat who hasn't even grown his hair yet."
"How do you know that?" Li Xiang complained, and was hit hard on the head.
"Aha, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you're bold enough to tease me. Don't think that you're so great just because you were in the limelight in the School Championship Competition. Believe it or not, I can beat you to tears anytime. "Ying smiled grumpily, but she was still quite emotional. This kid's growth is too amazing.
Perhaps it won't be long before he becomes a peak Level-3 Magician. The limit of the human body?
Ying didn't dare to imagine it. When she participated in the players' assessment, there weren't many peak Level-3 Magicians in the same batch. Most of them were old foxes who hadn't passed the player's assessment for many years. Those who could reach the same level as Li Xiang in the same batch as her were all giants among men.
Although many of them didn't take that step in their last life, or died tragically, the feeling of being suppressed for more than ten years was still a shadow that she couldn't get rid of.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Xiang still had to respect Ying, a Level-3 Assassin.
"Okay, stop fooling around with the Young Master. Let's start our lesson." Hestria took Li Xiang back from Ying and explained, "Young Master, from today onwards, Ying and I will be in charge of your two introductory courses, Assassin and Guardian. You're a four-elementalist, and you're already very good in Mechanic and Magician. You still need to learn more about Assassin and Guardian. "
"Yes, yes. In the upcoming assessment next year, if you can master three professions, you'll have more choices," Ying added.
Most Magicians would only choose a specific direction. After all, it had been proven countless times that only those who were very familiar with a certain profession and worked hard in that direction would be able to obtain a player corresponding to that profession.
Choosing multiple professions at the same time was impossible without extremely high talent.
Even Li Xiang, when he was a four-elementalist, focused more on Magician and Mechanic. He didn't study Assassin and Guardian in depth. After all, his strength and energy were limited.
But now, it seemed that Night Shadow and the others wanted him to reach the level of a four-elementalist.
It was very painful, but it was worth a try because Li Xiang's improvement speed was far beyond their imagination. Even before the first player's assessment, he had already raised the cultivation of Weight and Vitality to the human limit!
A few of his magic spells had also improved after this enhancement, so he had time to study the other two professions.
There wasn't much time left. After the two explained their purpose, they went straight to the main topic. This was also the first time Li Xiang truly learned about the other two professions, and it was from the two active Assassin and Guardian.
Just like how Magicians needed Magic Runes to grow, Assassins and Guardians also needed their own growth foundation, which was the player's carrier — the Assassination Tattoo and the Source of Faith.
These three were similar to the Weight during the Magician era and were the foundation of all cultivation.
A Magician would shatter his own Weight and all his magic spells during the player's assessment and become a player's carrier. After that, these three carriers would replace the Weight and appear on the player's body.
In the previous lesson, it was mentioned that those who walked the path of Magicians would meditate on the prototype of a type of Magic Rune. In the future, they would be able to communicate with similar Magic Rune carriers and use it as a foundation to cultivate magic in the future.
The Assassination Tattoo was similar to Magic Runes, but the difference was that the Assassination Tattoo was directly engraved on the surface of the body, while the Magic Rune was condensed where the Weight was originally.
In addition, each Basic Assassination Tattoo originated from a completely destroyed Calamity, and their abilities were copied on the tattoo for the player to use. In a way, it was similar to Calamity weapons.
For example, Shadow's Assassination Tattoo [Thousand-Eyed Evil Woman] was originally a Grade E Calamity.
"Among these three types of Player carriers, Magic Runes are the most orthodox and the closest to the Weight. After all, Magicians are a low-level system created by Magicians, and they are very similar to Magicians in all aspects. The Assassination Tattoo, on the other hand, is the most variable and the most random carrier. You never know what kind of Assassination Tattoo you will successfully communicate with, so you can only choose to accept it. "
Shadow tapped on the Assassination Tattoo at the base of his thigh and pressed his head down to take a closer look.
"Look carefully, there is still a very strong Calamity aura left on it. Absorbing it is extremely risky. Some unlucky people, after getting a Player carrier, let their guard down and were swallowed by the Calamity aura inside, and all their efforts were in vain."
Li Xiang nodded. After so long, the tip of his nose was filled with a faint fragrance, which made him feel very awkward.
Shadow did not mind and let him carefully observe the Assassination Tattoo at the base of his thigh to deepen his memory.
"The Guardian's Source of Faith is the most mysterious of the three carriers. It exists in our consciousness and has no real form, unlike the Assassination Tattoo, nor does it exist in the body like Magic Runes," Hettie explained.
Hestria explained as she gestured with her hands, trying to make him understand better.
"The Source of Faith is a kind of belief that exists in our consciousness and spirit. It is a deep-rooted belief that will not change no matter what happens! The Source of Faith depends on the strength of your belief. The stronger your belief, the stronger your strength! But because the Source of Faith is related to our own secrets, we generally do not reveal our personal creed easily, unless it is very special. "
"Like Sister Osna's?" Li Xiang asked.
Hettie nodded. "Yes, her first guardian creed is [Slay Demons], and her second guardian creed is [Seal Extinction]. Even if she tells you, you will not be affected. Mine is the same. My first guardian creed is [Battle], and my second guardian creed is [Berserk]. Only the second guardian creed will be slightly bad if it is known."
"Yes, the Guardian's power comes from the Source of Faith. For example, your guardian creed is [Family]. What if someone finds out and destroys your faith …" Shadow did not continue, and Li Xiang immediately understood.
It was very likely that he would be targeted. Some sources of Faith were traceable.
After explaining this, the two began to train Li Xiang. Just understanding this basic knowledge was not enough. He had to study and dig deeper.
Magic runes relied on the embryonic form of magic runes that he created through meditation to deepen his impression and perception, while assassination tattoos required him to have a high enough resistance and affinity to disaster. In this aspect, disaster-type and mutant humans had a natural advantage, so there were many assassins among this group of special humans.
The Source of Faith could only be strengthened through faith, but unfortunately, it could not be deliberately cultivated. Even if you deliberately focused your faith on an established belief such as family, when the time came to participate in the assessment and communicate with them, you might not be selected.
Because people rarely looked directly at their own hearts, and they did not really understand themselves. The Source of Faith required the true self.
For example, Hettie. From many aspects, she would not be associated with fighting, but this was indeed her deepest belief!
According to Hettie, the [Thousand Teeth Phantom] had left her with too many heavy memories and uneasiness, so much so that it would always be a shadow in her future cultivation. It also indirectly provided her with a strong pillar of faith.
Only by fighting, only by becoming stronger, could she feel safe. She also used this to protect others.
The special training was more strenuous and strenuous than Li Xiang expected. After all, it was something at the level of players. The two intentionally or unintentionally passed on some training information that only players could come into contact with to him. They did not care how much he could absorb and just kept teaching him.
Fortunately, Li Xiang's comprehension ability was maxed out, and his absorption and digestion ability was also very high, so he could constantly learn new content in such a short time. He learned very seriously. After all, two level 3 players teaching him one-on-one was a condition that many children of aristocratic families dreamed of but could not get. He would not easily waste it.
Besides, just as they said, the future was unknown. In case he could not become a Mage, it would be good to choose the other two professions.
Time flew, and the beginning of the month came. On this day, Li Xiang got up early and washed up. There was no special training mission today, because there was something more important waiting for him to do.
The atmosphere in the school, which had been heavy for the past month, finally welcomed a relatively cheerful day. There were all kinds of colorful balloons and ribbons hanging around First Lighthouse, and huge banners hanging above the statues of the four academies. It was rare that the Chess Board Academy had opened up all kinds of mechanical passages and tools for free.
The seniors who had been tortured by the monthly exam were happy to be the guides, and they were prepared to work hard to teach new juniors for the sake of points.
Looking down at this rare scenery from his bedroom, Li Xiang was filled with emotions. A year ago, he was still a rookie who had just come out of the ultimate trial. At that time, the person in charge of guiding him was Senior Sister Violet.
In the blink of an eye, Violet had worked for a year at the farm in her hometown. Every month, she would send the freshest vegetables and fruits. Her life was peaceful and peaceful, and he had become the Level 3 Magician that Violet had always dreamed of.
It's time to go. I can't let that girl Ye Tong wait too long. Li Xiang's lips curled up slightly. This was probably the happiest day of his life in a while.
It had been almost two years since he last saw her. He wondered if that girl had become prettier or taller.
He quickly ran to the underground parking lot. The Winged Chariot, which had not been started for a long time, was lying there quietly. A few days ago, Li Xiang had specially reassembled the Winged Chariot, modifying it to be even more eye-catching and cool.
Although he no longer needed this mechanical motorcycle with his current strength, the beautiful memories hidden deep in his memory made him reluctant to leave this old partner.
"Let's go." Li Xiang gently stroked the Winged Chariot, started it, and set off!
The steam engine roared, and he shot out of the garage like an arrow, sprinting out onto the road outside.
Seeing that it was the Winged Chariot that had gone on a rampage and caused countless people to suffer, the steam locomotives on the road tactfully retreated, opening up a path. There were also people who stuck their heads out to greet him.
Unknowingly, Li Xiang had become a landmark figure in Lighthouse Academy.
