Chapter 24 - Magic Activation Examination (2/2)
Feeling somewhat disappointed, Zhang Xiaohou walked out of the testing ground with his head low.
Mrs. Tangyue was like a tender older sister when she patted Zhang Xiaohou’s shoulder, “Don’t feel discouraged. You will definitely be able to enter the Elite Class with your grades.”
“Teacher, I thought I was proficient in ‘Control,' but who would’ve thought that a little nervousness would cause the time I spent practicing ‘Control’ to disappear mysteriously, making me start from the beginning. Teacher, how are you able to accomplish the magic activation so easily?” Zhang Xiaohou asked.
“Naturally it’s from practicing. Other than that, the state of your heart is also crucial. Not only does a qualified Magician need to have a solid foundation, but they also need to have a mentality that won’t waver if they encounter trouble.”
Zhang Xiaohou nodded as he seemed to understand this.
“Next, Huang Feifeng.”
“B！”
“Teacher, I should receive an A! I should be given an A!!!”
“If you make more noise, we’ll cancel your results.”
“Next, Luo Si.”
“C！”
The student called Luo Si jumped for joy.
For a failure of a student like him, receiving C was like New Years.
……
The students of eight class were receiving their examinations, one by one. The majority of the students were B and C; there didn't seem to be many A’s.
“Look, the people of the school council are almost here.”
“They are at the seventh class’ exam grounds… The one taking the test is that Lightning Element guy.”
“Xu Zhaoting, that is firmly the number one guy in the entire school.”
“That’s not certain. I heard Mu Bai’s cultivation is also very high!”
As Mo Fan heard his classmates’ discussion, his gaze turned toward the seventh class exam grounds.
Sure enough, the School Council group included the particularly outstanding Mu Ningxue, who had already walked to the vicinity.
……
“Old brother Mu Zhuoyun, this is our school’s most outstanding Lightning Element student; his name is Xu Zhaoting. When he awakened his Lightning Element a year ago, I, as the Principal, began to pay close attention to him. He’s currently doing the Activation test; care to watch?” the Principal of Tian Lan Magic High said to Mu Zhuoyun.
The Principal was very polite toward Mu Zhuoyun; thus, it was obvious that Mu Zhuoyun’s status within Bo City was very high.
“Ningxue, why don’t you take a look at this student’s performance.”
“Mhm,” Mu Ningxue nodded.
Lightning element, the first of the elements. Its violent, destructive force was enough to make other Magicians take several steps back.
Within the examination grounds, Xu Zhaoting, who wore the school uniform, was already there. He adjusted his breathing, as well as trying to make peace with the pressuring gazes coming from the students and teachers of the entire school.
Ever since he had entered the school, he had become the focal point for them. These gazes were incessantly urging him to cultivate.
“Heed my command!”
“The first of the Elements, Lightning!”
“Strike of Lightning!”
As the sounds faded, he raised a hand.
The purple Lightning Arc surged; it was as though the Serpent King called out to the violent python soldier. They slithered their shocking body, twirling through the atmosphere and burning everything they touched.
“Activate!”
The Electric Arc violently descended upon the human-shaped puppet.
The puppet violently trembled. It was charred from the drop of the violent Lightning Strike. The electricity crackled around; covering it with whip prints. The human-shaped puppet exploded with no remains in a single moment by the force of the Lightning.
On the floor of the Training grounds, there were strips of black marks. It looked extremely terrifying.
The puppet had already turned into a pile of black dust.
The heaven-defying Lightning element skill immediately stole the attention of the entire exam grounds, causing the Elite students who were also able to activate skills to take a deep breath.
Holy cow, who cares about Wind Trail? Who cares about Water Barrier? What Fire Burst? They are all weak. The tyrannical power of the Lightning Strike was not something the other Elements could compare themselves to. It directly caused the puppet to explode into dregs. This destructive power…
Whoever was standing there would die instantly!
