Wizard: Max level talent, starting from zero-ring trick.

Chapter 431 The assessment begins, shocking the entire audience!

early morning.

The plaza beneath the gray tower.

Sunlight shone on the faces of every wizard. Wizard Anton looked around at the wizards and announced the rules.

"In each area of ​​the plaza, there is an energy sphere. You need to extract the energy from it within fifteen minutes, and then construct a complete energy structure within fifteen minutes. You can only use this energy, plus the assistance of ten units of mental energy. Finally, I will release the energy field and score you based on the time it takes for the structure to last."

Three steps?

The wizards present erupted in a clamor.

Ian also examined the rule.

This test is interconnected. The first part tests the wizard's ability to identify and decompose energy. The second part tests their ability to construct and control energy, as well as some manipulation of mental energy. The third part, needless to say, mainly tests their control.

Each step is actually quite comprehensive.

This aligns with what Ian has learned over the past year: mastering one's own energy, whether it be magical energy, elemental energy, or mental energy.

soon.

The group arrived at the competition venue.

This gave Ian the opportunity to observe the energy sphere in front of him.

Within a thin, membrane-like energy sphere, he observed at least dozens of different types of energy.

In addition to common elemental energies, life energy, and spiritual energy, there are also many strange energies that Ian has never seen before.

But cleverly...

These energies are intertwined, yet quite peaceful.

"But having so much energy isn't easy."

Ian couldn't help but sigh.

The difficulty of separating and mixing energy is greater than two when one is added together; there are more than a dozen such cases.

Even for wizards who decompose energy.

It is also quite difficult.

Sure enough, upon looking at the other wizards, they all had solemn expressions, clearly recognizing the difficulty of the test.

However, it was the top students at Gray Tower.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 20 ...

He did seem much more relaxed.

I don't know if they have some kind of confidence.

"but..

Ian turned to look at his energy sphere. Under the influence of the Universal Sense, all energy appeared to him like a naked woman.

Every detail is exceptionally clear.

Decomposition is inherently part of integration, or rather, the opposite process, which is not difficult for him, who has mastered master-level energy integration techniques.

Of course, caution is still necessary.

"Ten minutes of observation time are up, the assessment begins."

Anton kept his eyes on each wizard to prevent any accidents or cheating.

really.

The moment he spoke.

A wizard studying at an external wizarding academy was eager to try to separate.

Mental energy enters the energy sphere, separating an energy source.

But it was too rough.

This instantly triggered a chain reaction, destroying the fragile balance built up by dozens of energies.

The immense energy terrified the several wizards nearby who hadn't yet begun their work, causing them to instinctively try to dodge.

The wizard turned pale.

Anton arrived just in time.

A streak of gray energy swept across the energy sphere, then completely enveloped it, causing a violent explosion, but it only caused ripples in the gray energy.

"Completely ignoring the risks, you're eliminated."

Anton made the announcement calmly.

The wizard's face turned even paler.

This means he will be at the bottom in this round, and his assessment has almost ended prematurely.

Ruined.

The wizards' miserable state also caught the attention of some wizards, and they all became cautious.

The group slowly began to separate the energy to prevent the accident that had just happened, as if walking on a steel blade.

Ian noticed it too.

But they ignored it.

He simply stared calmly at the energy ball in front of him.

The activated spiritual energy transformed into threads resembling a spider web.

But Ian didn't rush to probe inside.

Instead, one senses the energy around them, and through the shared perception of all things, dozens of energies gradually become clear.

This also led Ian to discover some small traps.

"Hasn't it started yet?"

In the crowd, Soren glanced at Ian, who was carefully breaking down the first type of lightning energy, which was also his specialty.

And in front of him.

These were the geniuses of the Gray Tower, who were radiating a powerful aura of energy integration techniques.

A tiny bit of energy is broken down.

However, upon closer inspection, one can see that the aura emanating from their energy integration techniques is slightly different from that of the courses they learn.

It is much stronger in both efficiency and strength.

Soren was well aware of the reason.

These top wizards all learned the complete energy integration techniques within the academy.

It not only has a complete dissection, but also has some special rune enhancements to the entire sorcery.

This is also normal.

Since it's a study tour, it's impossible to bring out everything.

This is why the Grey Tower wizards almost always occupy the top spots in this project.

As for Ian?

He suddenly remembered his battle with Ian, during which Ian could almost immediately discern his energy level.

Then, the energy that was about to collapse was stabilized in an instant.

It remains fresh in his memory.

Thinking about this...

He couldn't help but turn to look at Ian again, but that one glance left him completely stunned.

For a moment, he almost lost control of his energy.

"What the hell is this?"

He was stunned.

All that could be seen was Ian emanating a peculiar aura from afar, while dozens of strands of mental energy entered the energy sphere like vicious wolves, breaking down the energy.

How is that possible?

Because the wizards present, even the top academy students, had to decompose it with utmost care.

They were terrified of an explosion.

But Ian seemed completely unafraid.

"No, it's that the energy has stabilized."

His breath hitched.

With such a large disturbance, the energy could not possibly be stable normally, so it could only be Ian's doing.

Isn't this the scene that was controlled for him back then?

"Ian's name will probably be in the top ten now, but his level of understanding is probably not as good as the top students, since he is learning the weakened version."

His mind was wandering.

Ian's violent decomposition was also witnessed by other wizards, attracting the attention of many.

"Ian."

Gabriel stared in astonishment at Ian not far away. Was he insane, decomposing so violently?

The wizards around Ian also quickly became more cautious, fearing that the explosion might be disrupted.

Those top students looked on with disdain.

This crude approach is doomed to failure.

However, as time passed, when each wizard finished this round of testing and had reached their limit, they began to draw.

But to my surprise, I discovered...

Ian remained on the field.

Moreover, at this point, more than half of the energy in the energy sphere had already been broken down.

It has even reached the core.

This speed is even faster than that of the Gray Tower Wizard.

Even the top wizards of the Gray Tower immediately felt a sense of pressure.

But at this time.

Ian's speed suddenly slowed down.

One of the top wizards from the Deepnest branch breathed a sigh of relief. According to his observation, the energy sphere gradually became more cohesive from the outside in.

We've arrived at the core area.

Even if this foreign wizard didn't know which academy he came from, or what methods he used to stabilize the energy, once he reached the core area, he was no longer able to continue decomposing it.

Even energy integration techniques.

It can only be broken down at an extremely deep level.

he...

He looked at Ian and saw that Ian was emanating the aura of energy integration magic.

Invisible energy seeped into the energy sphere like ripples in water.

The energy of the adhesive begins to disintegrate.

He had the air of someone who was extremely experienced.

No, right?

His eyes widened.

He even saw an aura emanating from Ian, and although it was just a simple energy integration spell, the aura was comparable to that of wizards who had learned the complete version.

almost?

Doesn't this mean that Ian's proficiency in this witchcraft far surpasses theirs?

You must be joking.

It wasn't just him.

Anton, who was monitoring the entire scene from a short distance away, also noticed this scene and looked at the special wizard.

In fact.

Anton had his eye on Ian from the moment he started acting so violently.

"Some kind of peculiar fluctuation seems to be maintaining the energy balance, and what about the proficiency in this energy integration technique?"

As a master of magic among the third-ring wizards, he could naturally see Ian's condition.

This clearly shows that the user has mastered this witchcraft to its fullest extent.

Or rather, master level.

A year and a half?

He knew very well that wizards in lower-level colleges had almost no opportunity to access this kind of knowledge.

In other words.

He's a complete beginner?

"At this level, it's in the top five."

He glanced at it and saw that it had been broken down to almost one-fifth of its original size, and he sighed.

It's been many years since I've seen a wizard who has mastered this magic to such an excellent degree.

But the last fifth, that was already beyond the limits of this witchcraft.

Just when he thought Ian was done.

But he found that Ian still hadn't stopped.

He barged in.

The energy actually began to decompose.

???

Anton was taken aback.

Upon closer inspection, he gasped again, for he could sense Ian's powerful mental energy tearing apart the tiny nodes that bound the energy together.

So subtle.

Even only he, from the third ring road, could observe it.

What a terrifying energy sensation!

What's even more terrifying is that the energy remained stable from beginning to end.

It's like maintaining a perfect balance.

"First place in this round."

When Ian was the first to separate the last wisp of spiritual energy, dozens more strands of energy appeared before his eyes.

Complete separation.

Undoubtedly number one.

Meanwhile, the wizards of the Gray Tower had finished their part and were all staring in disbelief at this scene.

The wizards who were still trying the last fifth were all shaken.

One person even failed because of a moment of distraction.

Is that really possible?

Emil had already finished his work, and beside him were Osborne and Gideon, whose work had also ended.

The three of them exchanged a glance.

They all seemed to have gone mad.

"I think I've chosen the wrong target."

Emil murmured.

Ian seems to be a real powerhouse.

"Elemental mysteries?"

Osborne looked at Ian, finally showing interest and wanting to get to know him properly.

"As expected of the Ian brothers."

Gideon sighed.

He used to think the two were about the same, but now it seems they're not even close.

"This must be number one."

"At least as far as I know, no outside wizard has won first place this round," Emil said.

"Don't be so happy, this is only the first round."

Osborne remained calm.

The group then realized what was happening.

Yes.

This is only the first round; the second and third rounds haven't even started yet.

"Ian."

Gabriel was still standing not far away, staring blankly at Ian.

I had originally thought that once Ian was brought to the Gray Tower, he would immediately blend into the crowd.

But now it seems to be even more dazzling?

Could he achieve a ranking above the top five, or even the top three, in this round?

I considered this possibility.

He gasped in shock.

No way?

soon.

The other wizards all finished their sessions.

But at this moment, many people's attention was focused on Ian, and the energy around him was also the strongest.

Ian was quite natural.

Since you know you need more points, then you should aim for the most, which means first place.

I'm not pretending anymore.

Anyway, this is the Gray Tower.

Who doesn't have a background?

"Round two begins."

Seeing the scene that looked like it was about to explode, Anton actually smiled and announced.

Fifteen minutes.

Construct a structure using ten units of spiritual energy.

It remains an advantage for Ian.

Because he possessed the most energy, and given the same unit, Ian didn't believe his mental strength would be inferior to any of the wizards present.

So what should we build?

Ian has many options.

But after thinking about it...

Ian decided to use the framework of the Elemental Integration Technique, supported by dozens of energies.

If you've learned something from this course, then let this course be the end of it.

Of course, it needs a slight improvement.

Ian pondered the direction for supplementing this sorcery and instantly had an idea: to incorporate some knowledge from the Four Symbols Codex.

Stability and balance.

That fits perfectly.

Energy fusion is the technique of unifying different types of energy into a controlled energy flow.

So gradually...

A model appeared in Ian's hands.

The shell is grayish-white, like a compressed egg, with no seams on the surface.

Energy arranges itself into fine lines on the surface, each line corresponding to a flow of energy. Dozens of spirals intersect each other without colliding, yet they seem to be integrated together, like a whole network of blood vessels.

But each type of energy is in perfect balance.

This?

Not far away.

Anton narrowed his eyes slightly.

They seemed to recognize that there was some element of energy integration technique in this.

But Ian seems to have made some improvements?

This?

This time, he was genuinely curious about the wizard.

Mastering the limits is impressive, but if you can still improve upon it, that's a bit over the top.

He could even sense it.

Ian seemed to have directly filled in the biggest gaps in this missing knowledge.

I just don't know if it can withstand it.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly.

"Round three, everyone get ready to begin. You have five minutes to prepare."

Anton spoke slowly.

Everyone carefully protected it.

In the blink of an eye.

Five minutes passed.

A massive energy indiscriminately covered the entire plaza, or rather, it was an energy structure constructed by everyone.

Energy enveloped Ian's eggshell structure.

Unmoved!
