Chapter 316 The assessment is over, final rankings!
The sun is shining brightly.
The black tower of the Mirror Tower stands like a black giant, and the core members look up at this tall tower.
"The second round will begin in thirty minutes."
Simon said.
All the wizards immediately took the potion and recovered their condition.
Ian also took out a bottle of energy potion.
swallow.
My mental energy was immediately nourished, and I felt much better.
Although the first round did not consume much mental energy, it was very taxing on physical strength and willpower.
Half an hour passed quickly.
"Everyone enters the Illusion Tower, and those ranked first are admitted first."
Simon said.
Ian took a deep breath and walked towards the Illusion Tower, with the gazes of many core members watching him from behind.
They looked at Ian.
There's curiosity about how many floors Ian can reach, but even more curiosity about whether he can maintain his ranking.
Many wizards even recalled the incident six months ago when the Crimson Wizard infiltrated the area.
Although Ian has academic certification.
However, many wizards remained skeptical, given that the team's apparent strength far surpassed Ian's.
Although some leaked details show no trace of high-level, high-grade life-saving magical artifacts.
But was it really Ian who did it?
This round clearly reveals some things.
As Ian entered, Adam strode into the Illusion Tower, followed by the other core members one after another.
Inside the Tower of Illusion.
Ian easily tore a four-crystal wizard to shreds, his mind racing as he considered the methods he could use.
Five crystals can be used, because that's not a secret to Simon.
Solidified wizards can also use these spells, but it's best not to fully display perfect-level magic, since the academy also has backups of these spells.
One or two is fine.
If all of them are supermodels, it would obviously seem a bit too abnormal.
Other forms of witchcraft, including various instant-cast spells, can be used to some extent, since he is known for his witchcraft.
"In terms of elemental magic, I can demonstrate about 60% to 70% of my strength."
Ian understood.
Seeing the enemy reappear before him, he unleashed his domain, showcasing his power.
The flames plummeted toward the opposite side like shooting stars.
Accompanied by a roaring sound.
What lay before me had transformed into a living hell.
"He is indeed a genius when it comes to witchcraft."
Outside the Tower of Illusions, Simon watched with a silent approval.
Ian just cast a high-level first-circle fire spell, but its effect was almost comparable to that of a top-level first-circle spell.
This is not only because of his mental strength and resonance.
More importantly, it's his understanding of witchcraft, and you can see that this witchcraft has undergone many improvements.
And such witchcraft.
Ian possessed quite a few of these kinds of witchcraft techniques.
However, it's understandable, since he's a genius who can sense frequencies as soon as he starts practicing resonance techniques.
No wonder Kieran was willing to trade White Stone Essence for him.
"This time, the first and second place estimates were decided between him and Adam."
""
He looked at another screen.
Adam transformed into a colossal earth elemental giant, and with each swing, dozens of spikes on the ground pierced the enemies in front of him.
Pseudo-Second Ring Sorcery - Colossus of the Rock!
It was top-tier witchcraft, and it was clear that Adam had undergone rigorous training, as he performed it very smoothly.
As for the other wizards...
Whether it's Russell or other wizards, although their magic is equally powerful, the differences are significant.
Meanwhile, several people from the Second Ring Road were also discussing it quietly.
They clearly believed that the two were a level above other wizards.
"It hasn't been that long!"
Milo sighed.
About a year ago, Ian's strength was not like this, but a year later, his strength has undergone a transformation.
It seems this isn't the only time.
"Every time I see Ian, every time I take a test, I'm improving."
Milo pursed his lips.
This was what he found to be Ian's most terrifying trait.
Other core skills often show signs of stagnation or even regression between assessments.
But Ian, this diligent wizard, never seemed to appear.
And it is through these repeated steps of progress that, though seemingly insignificant and reasonable, we have come this far.
Meanwhile, outside the environmental tower.
Most of the core members have finished their assessments and are waiting outside.
soon.
The second-in-command, Yi Huan, also gradually withdrew.
"Ian is still around?"
Off the court, Russell's jealousy intensified; he couldn't accept that a junior like Ian was catching up.
"Ian!"
After leaving, Harilan, the chief of the Molten Core Institute, stared blankly at the dark tower.
He had actually heard of Ian's name a long time ago.
That dates back nearly ten years, when he was already Huo Yan's student, preparing to strive for the core.
Ian, on the other hand, obtained some accumulated Fire Pattern Stone Walls from Huo Yan after discovering the Fire Pattern Runes.
He handled this matter.
But how could he have imagined that, ten years later, while both of them were top students in their respective colleges, Ian had already surpassed him?
Time!
He sighed deeply.
Meanwhile, two more people emerged, leaving only Ian and Adam inside the Illusion Tower.
Everyone was waiting to see when the two would come out.
Hold your breath.
Sudden.
The entrance to the Tower of Illusions flickered.
Everyone immediately perked up, because this was a sign that someone was about to come out.
Adam or Ian?
next second.
The two appeared at the same time, coming into everyone's view.
"Appearing simultaneously?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Ian and Adam exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
"The Illusion Tower has fifty floors in total. Both of them passed the top floor, so they have the same score."
Simon's voice rang out.
He explained it to everyone, which made Ian and Adam understand what had happened.
It turned out to be the case.
Ian suddenly realized.
He had just faced several spells that were more than 95% elementalized, and he used his agile movement to defeat the enemies.
It displayed almost all of its strength.
After finishing, I thought it was the last floor, but I was surprised to find myself on the next one.
I just don't know what Adam went through.
"One relied on witchcraft and mental power, while the other relied purely on physical defense. Adam himself possesses certain special talents, making his defense even stronger. Coupled with an elemental resonance rate of nearly 98%, he managed to withstand the attack and defeat the enemy. Both are quite impressive!"
Simon also glanced at the two of them.
The other members of the Second Ring Road nodded in agreement, indicating their acceptance of Simon's verdict.
The other core members were disappointed.
This round did not reveal whether Adam or Ian was stronger.
Even so, all previous doubts about Ian have vanished.
Ian's ability certainly deserves this ranking.
"Next round."
Adam looked at Ian with a competitive glint in his eyes!
He hadn't really considered Ian a rival, but now it seemed he was a wizard who was no less capable than him.
"The third round is a practical assessment. The rules remain the same as before, with a three-hour recovery period."
Simon announced again.
The rules remain unchanged.
This brought a sigh of relief to many wizards.
Ian felt the same way; he still preferred this relatively safe assessment method.
soon.
The group arrived at the assessment site.
They began drawing lots to determine their opponents.
But Ian didn't care at all, because once he entered the top five, there was no more of a lottery.
The top five in the first two rounds.
There will be four rounds of battles, with each player fighting one round against the other four players in the top five to determine the ranking of the top five.
This is to protect the wizards who come later.
This is also why the top five have always been convincing – they are truly chosen from among the strongest core players.
The only possible change is who they will play against each round.
"Round 1: Ian Green of the Four Symbols Academy versus Russell of the Wind Whisper Academy!"
The deacon's voice rang out.
Ian was taken aback.
Is that really such a coincidence?
He was actually the first one.
He took a deep breath and entered the assessment area. Russell was staring at him from the front, as if he were prey.
And the surrounding area.
A large number of core members also gathered, ready to watch this battle between the top three.
After all, this is a wizarding battle of this level.
They are rarely seen by outsiders, and can only be seen on such occasions, which is one of the advantages of being in the core.
"Ian, I won't lose this one!"
Russell glared fiercely at Ian.
He's currently ranked third. If he beats Ian and wins a few more games, he can take second place.
His foundation has been damaged.
He would only have a chance to break through to the second level if all three potions were at the second level, so he would definitely not hold back.
Simultaneously.
He believed that even if Ian was stronger than him in the second round, he might not necessarily lose in the real fight.
After all, when he was in the top three, Ian was ranked outside the top two!
"What a fierce look!"
Ian also expressed his feelings, but he also had his reasons for not letting go; he needed this resource.
He can obtain other resources from other sources, but the potion can only be obtained here.
He later learned about it.
The head of the Potions Department has a deep conflict with Kieran.
No wonder he was recommended to the Alchemy Department; he probably wouldn't have fared well in the Potions Department.
Take a deep breath.
The referee came to the center of the field, holding a flag.
"start!"
His figure vanished instantly.
next second.
Two violent hurricanes struck from both sides at the same time, whipping up dust and gravel from the ground and into the sky.
Both of them opted for a wind-based direct confrontation!
At the same time, their domains had already expanded, drawing in the surrounding wind elements.
Russell's domain carries a ruthless, tearing quality.
He made a fist with his right hand, and a visible cyan wind cone condensed in his palm, drawing out the surrounding air with a sharp hiss.
That wasn't just ordinary first-level sorcery; it was a variant of the armor-piercing wind drill that he had refined over many years, pushing the Wind Blade Technique to near the top level of the first level.
next second.
The armor-piercing wind drill flew towards Ian like a white line, and the wizards on the outside didn't even have time to react.
But a barrier has already appeared.
Like a gentle breeze, it enveloped Ian. When the armor-piercing wind drill struck, the gentle breeze transformed into countless threads, dissolving the wind drill.
Of course, it's still not that simple.
But by this time, Ian's figure had already disappeared from the spot, and a large number of wind blades had appeared.
Then thousands upon thousands of wind blades flew toward Russell like a torrential rain.
This!
Russell's eyes widened, and he also cast a defensive wind-attribute spell, creating a wind wall that enveloped the surroundings.
But those wind blades always seemed to find areas where the energy was weak, and almost instantly, the defense became so thin that it could be penetrated.
He attempted to use a defensive type of area-of-effect magic to counter it.
But he soon discovered that Ian's witchcraft was stronger, faster, and more manipulative than his own.
Both of them have similar wind attributes.
Just minutes later.
Ian completely broke through his defenses.
Looking at the wind blade in front of him, his face turned extremely ugly, even a little red.
But he also understood that he had already lost.
No... I can still...
""
He still wanted to use other methods.
"Ian is a multi-elemental sorcerer, and I don't think wind is his strongest attribute."
One sentence from a bystander completely broke him down!
Yes!
Ian is a wizard with multiple attributes.
Their combined power would far surpass their current strength, but even so, he still couldn't defeat them.
this...
"I surrender!"
He closed his eyes.
"You're too kind!"
Ian nodded to him and then left. He simply wanted to experience the effects of fighting different wizards, which was why he only used the wind element.
This helps to enhance his elemental resonance.
After this round of explanations, the assessments continued one after another, and Ian watched as many as possible to increase his combat experience.
On the other side...
Adam also fought against the top student of the Molten Academy and easily defeated him.
"Ian, I'm waiting for your battle!"
Walk out of the arena.
He stared intently at Ian on the sidelines.
Ian was somewhat helpless.
To be honest, he wasn't particularly obsessed with the first one, since his need for White Stone Essence was clearly less than his need for White Stone Refined Essence.
Moreover, he was confident that he could get second place, which was enough for Shishoin, far surpassing his previous fifth place.
But if you encounter it.
He will do his best.
hum!
Sudden.
Ian felt his communication crystal vibrate, and then used his mental energy to sense it.
He was quickly stunned.
The news actually came from the Tieshan family.
The content is also very simple.
They wanted Ian to lose to Adam so that he could obtain the White Stone Essence.
Ian frowned immediately; this was clearly a violation of the rules to some extent.
And he would absolutely never...
"A treasured high-level earth-attribute resource can instantly raise your earth element resonance to 95%, and grant you the friendship of the Iron Mountain family!"
But then again.
Ian was stunned.
It seems he needs this resource more, since his earth attribute is the slowest.
However, obtaining White Stone Essence and exchanging it for this precious resource is actually quite difficult.
Only a large family like the Tieshan family could possess such a treasure.
Moreover, his first impression was indeed a bit too flamboyant, which didn't fit his usual style.
Don't let the Crimson Eyes target you.
"It's not my fault, it's just that I gave them too much!"
Ian grinned.
Adam walked past, seemingly unaware of this.
shook his head.
soon.
The assessment continues.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, but Ian faced off against both the top and second-ranked members of the Molten Academy.
He easily defeated the second-place winner simply by using fire element, while the first-place winner was a bit more troublesome and required more methods.
Adam also easily defeated his other opponents.
soon.
"Round 5, Ian Green of the Four Symbols Academy versus Adam Iron Mountain of the Earth Ring!"
The deacon's voice rang out.
All eyes turned to the center of the arena.
"Ian, come on."
Adam entered the arena and shouted loudly at Ian.
Ian also took a deep breath.
We entered the venue.
"start!"
next moment.
Adam's domain fully unfolded, and a colossal rock giant appeared, unleashing his most powerful abilities.
Ian looked at the giant before him.
Although he had already decided to lose, Ian still showed respect by using the Four Symbols Domain.
The two sides collided.
Ian employed various methods, while Adam fully utilized the defensive capabilities and size of the rock giant.
The intensity of the battle left the core members below speechless.
It felt like this wasn't just a simple first-ring battle anymore, but more like a second-ring battle.
And in the midst of battle.
Ian also sensed that Adam was different.
Adam possesses top-tier pseudo-second-ring sorcery, but he seems to have a unique talent that makes him even more defensive.
to be frank.
Even Ian would have to use his true domain power to break it, otherwise he would have to demonstrate the ultimate fusion of the four elements.
These are abilities that Ian no longer intends to use.
so..
"I surrender."
When the time was almost up, Ian chose to surrender.
Not only the core members, but also the second-ring members felt regret and sorry for Ian.
But it's just a pity.
During the battle just now, they could see that although Ian used a lot of witchcraft, he was helpless against Adam's defense.
Admitting defeat is understandable.
Simon gave Ian a meaningful look, which made Ian feel a little uneasy before he looked away.
Whoosh!
"It seems like they've seen through it, but it seems like they've tacitly approved of it."
Ian thought to himself.
Actually, he didn't really throw the match; he used everything he could.
Although he concealed 40% of his strength, he never intended to use that much anyway, so second place was to be expected.
Moreover, it achieves multiple benefits in one fell swoop.
Why not do it.
It's not just about resources; he'll be advancing to the second ring in the future, and the Tieshan family is one of the top families in the academy, so they'll inevitably have to deal with each other.
This can be considered as paving the way in advance.
"Ian, that was a very enjoyable battle. You're very strong."
Adam also stepped out of the arena, feeling refreshed and looking at Ian with a grin.
"You are very strong."
Ian smiled and nodded.
Clearly, the kid doesn't know that his victory has given Ian something he wanted.
Make a fortune!
soon.
With the end of the final battle.
The third round has ended.
The assessment is over.
The rankings are out.
Ian is ranked second!
