In the legend from ten thousand years ago, the angels in the Underhill heaven felt sorry for the fragile creatures on the mainland, so they taught them how to use elemental power. Although the creatures on the mainland were not qualified enough to be able to practice both magic and martial arts like angels,
In desperation, the training system taught by the angel can only be separated into two types: martial arts and magic. However, there is still only one core of the two, and that is elemental power!
Warriors can release powerful martial arts through the use of elements, and mages can form invisible magic arrays through the combination and arrangement of elements, thereby performing incredible magic.
Although the various races on the mainland are interdependent and seem to be living happily, under the pressure of the dark race, a ten thousand-year-old powerful enemy, warriors still enjoy a higher status than ordinary people.
Of course, there are also benefits!
Therefore, whether it is for the so-called world peace or for their children to have a good future, parents on the mainland hope that their children will have the opportunity to study in corresponding academies and become powerful warriors.
In the continent of Andalus, people have a common understanding of "cultivation": children who can sense the power of elements before the age of 15 have the talent for cultivation, and once they practice after the age of 15, even if they can sense the elements
, they can only linger at the bottom of the battlefield forever, and can only be cannon fodder on the battlefield.
However, the mystery of life lies in its infinite possibilities. There is no shortage of weird people in any world. The "15-year-old" threshold is not completely unreachable by anyone.
By chance, Blue Water Academy recruited a young man who had no rank but was able to defeat level 2 monsters with physical strength alone.
Originally, I just hoped that this talented but older boy could find a job like a mercenary to make a living in the future, but then, something happened that shocked all the teachers and students of Blue Water Academy, and even the entire continent.
1 month, promoted to level 1 junior warrior...
4 months, promoted to level 3 junior warrior...
1 year, promoted to level 5 intermediate warrior...
In just three years, he successfully passed the 9th level advanced warrior threshold and tried to become a 10th level warrior!
You know, it usually takes at least 10 years for children with excellent qualifications to go from level 9 to level 9. Andy, who led the way for Shen Yun before, is already considered to have excellent qualifications, but it took him a full 9 years, and until
Now I am just trying to hit level 10.
The boy's case quickly swept across the entire continent like a tsunami, making all the major forces realize that perhaps, a truly gifted person should start practicing after the age of 15.
After that, the boy's growth rate shocked and even horrified people!
After graduating from Blue Water, he went to the front line to practice. While making many military exploits, he actually became a 12th-level war demon at the age of 30 a few years later. This ridiculous upgrade speed would make all the "geniuses" in the world
"You're all ashamed to death!"
As a result, major forces began to recruit "over-age" teenagers who were originally useless on a large scale, hoping to cultivate extraordinary figures from them.
Unfortunately, the truth is cruel. For a hundred years, none of the many "over-age" youths who had the opportunity to practice became successful. Instead, they were just like before, struggling as the lowest level of warriors.
Slowly, the major forces have gradually given up on this idea of "picking up leaks", but some famous colleges still retain such an admissions channel so that geniuses with incredible qualifications will not have no way to enter.
Blue Water Academy’s “competition” is one of the reserved channels!
…
After listening to Old Man Wulan's ramble on about the "history of the development of the competition", Shen Yun finally understood what kind of mistake he had made.
Well, let me just say...how could there be a martial arts school that only tests cultural subjects...
Although he was a little disappointed that he could not use his examination expertise, Shen Yun did not have stage fright for the upcoming "Martial Arts Special". The timeout he called before was just to understand the situation, not because he was afraid of anything.
"First of all, we have agreed that it will be fine as long as it lasts for 5 minutes, right? No matter what method is used?" Shen Yun ran to the corner and pulled out a Dolan Blade. Regardless of the strange looks in everyone's eyes, Shen Yun asked.
"Well, you have been confirmed to be levelless, so as long as you don't use items with more than epic power, it is not a violation." Wulan adjusted the small glasses on the bridge of his nose and glanced at Shen Yun back and forth. After checking, I still couldn't find where he took out the weapon.
Does this kid have space equipment? Nonsense, this brat cares about every crystal coin...
Shaking his head secretly, Wu Lan urged Shen Yun: "Little guy, I have told you the history and you understand the rules. Can we start now? If there is anything else you are not ready for Just go back and come back tomorrow. I’m very busy!”
"Start! Start now! That, uh...sister, come here!" In response to Ulan's urging, Shen Yun expressed his thoughts with practical actions, "humming hummingly" as he climbed up the two-meter-high test bench. After standing still on the refining platform, Shen Yun sent an invitation to Instructor Sheila who was still in the audience.
Sheila, who was already in her early thirties, obviously found Shen Yun's "sister" very useful. After using a "water cushion technique" to easily get on stage, Sheila reminded Shen Yun with a smile: "Little brother, because we have to test. Your qualifications are at the limit, so my magic power will not be lower than Level 2 in the future. If my strength is not enough, I can go down as soon as possible~"
"Hehe!" Facing the title of "little brother", Shen Yun could only laugh twice as if he didn't hear it. He just raised his sword across his chest and assumed a defensive posture.
"Let's start, Andy, give us time!" Seeing Shen Yun's movements, Sheila said no more and slowly took off the staff hanging from her waist.
"Originated from the mercy of angels, taken from the freshness and gentleness of nature, the warm water turns into cold ice at my will. Go, ice cone technique!"
An ice cone exuding a deep cold air appeared out of thin air, pointed at Chen Yun, and then shot towards Chen Yun at the speed of an arrow!
Sheila's level 2 magic ice cone technique is just to test Shen Yun's strength. If he can't even receive a level 2 magic, or can't avoid it, then participating in the "competition" will only be a joke.
Although before, almost everyone who participated in the "competition" was a joke...
The trial platform where Shen Yun is located is neither big nor small. Judging from Shen Yun's League of Legends skill "Fatal Strike", whether it is using its demon-breaking effect or acceleration buff, it is easy to fight or run.
But Shen Yun seemed to be stunned now. He just stood on the stage and posed blankly, with no intention of moving at all.
"Could it be that this kid has zero actual combat experience and is too frightened?" Ulan in the audience couldn't help but maliciously guessed as he stroked his white beard, which he regarded as life-threatening.
Of course not!
Shen Yun was not so useless that he would be frightened in the battle, but from Sheila's magic chant just now, Shen Yun found that he had a strange insight!
When chatting with Daifei before, Shen Yun knew that the magic in this world has a very strange setting compared to other worlds: to cast magic, you must chant a spell! Even the simplest magic is like this!
This is indeed strange enough. According to the novels and games Shen Yun has read in the past, although low-level mages definitely need spell assistance, when they reach high-level, they can either recite silently or cast it instantly. I have never heard of a spell. If a god casts a level 1 lighting spell and still has to recite a curse, where do you want the Dharma God to put his face?
But in Andalus, the rules of magic are like this! Even if you advance to the 13th level forbidden magician, if you want to cast a lighting spell, you still have to recite a spell, otherwise the magic elements will not pay attention to you at all! By the way By the way, all magic spells are taught by angels.
Of course, Andalus also has its own acceleration rules, which is a special magic:
Magic speeds up!
The magic effect of "Magic Acceleration" is very simple. It is to accelerate the casting of the magic you want to release. For example, in the forest before, the fire shield that Defi cast to save Shen Yun was cast instantly with the support of acceleration magic. Shen Yun, otherwise if he had waited for Defi to finish reciting the curse, Shen Yun would have returned to Earth to report to his friends.
But don’t think that everything will be simple after having “Magic Acceleration”. For the magicians on Andalus, Magic Acceleration is a magic that they can hardly practice. It is similar to the innate abilities that come with promotion.
Under normal circumstances, after each level you advance, you will have an additional opportunity to use magic acceleration once a day. For example, a level 3 junior magician can cast magic acceleration 3 times a day, while a level 10 Ming Mage can cast it 10 times a day.
It seems very powerful, but the magic acceleration required for each magic to be instantaneous is also different. For example, first-level magic can be cast instantly with one magic acceleration, but second-level magic needs two times.
To sum up, you will find that for most mages, they can basically use magic to accelerate the highest level magic they can cast once a day.
Although there are some individual cases that are able to gain one or two more magical accelerations than others due to chance, it is not important to the overall situation.
And there is another point, magic acceleration is useless for forbidden spells! Even if a person can use magic acceleration 100 times a day, he cannot reduce the casting time of the forbidden spell by even one second!
The topic is a bit far-fetched. Shen Yun's daze this time actually has nothing to do with the acceleration of magic. Instead, through Sheila's previous spell chanting, Shen Yun felt the lively movement of the water element in the air. He could even clearly sense the water element in the spell. Under the guidance of others, they formed a mysterious formation, and then evolved the ice pick that was about to fly in front of him!
This subtle "magic formation" process gave Shen Yun a strong impact and insight, making him feel that something was sprouting and growing in his mind.
But at the same time, during the process of singing + combination, Shen Yun also always felt that something went wrong. This problem was not only related to the singing, but also closely related to Sheila's own magic power. Although Shen Yun could not analyze it thoroughly yet, He had a premonition:
This problem is very serious!
Seeing that the ice pick had flown in front of him, Shen Yun quickly gathered his mind and shook his head to get the strange feeling out of his mind.
...It is only right to deal with the danger in front of you first!
Since Fenghu had been baptized by "Fengmang" many times before, Shen Yun had great experience in the same type of ice cone technique.
The slightly white hand firmly grasped the hilt of the sword and turned the sword gently. Then the back of the sword knocked lightly and the ice pick passed by. Although the coldness coming from the sword made the body tremble violently, it was not serious after all. Pretty much unscathed.
It is also a level 2 magic, but the speed of the ice cone is far less sharp than the sharpness of the wind. It has no effect at all on Shen Yun, whose physique is far beyond that of ordinary people after absorbing the blessing of the aperture.
"Yes, this way I can test with peace of mind!" Seeing how easily Shen Yun handled it, Instructor Sheila was not surprised but overjoyed, and started chanting the spell again as soon as she swung her staff. She couldn't help but look forward to Shen Yun's performance even more. .
