An hour......

Two hours......

Three hours......

It wasn't until the sun was about to set that Zhang Cheng completed this marathon-like written test, pushed the heavy book forward in exhaustion, and let out a long breath: "Whew-it's finally done!"

He couldn't believe that after leaving school, he would have the opportunity to relive this nightmare scene.

"Hehe, young man, don't be in a hurry to relax yet, let me take a look at your results. As he spoke, Charles stretched out his right index finger and lightly touched the violet eye mark on the cover.

In an instant, the marker released a blinding light, and in just a few seconds, the image of an old human mage was formed.

I saw that the mage first touched his chest with one hand and bowed, and then said unhurriedly: "There are a total of four hundred and thirty-six questions in this test, two hundred questions in the arcane field, one hundred questions in the arcane field, one hundred questions in the frost field, and the rest are application skills. The participants answered 307 of the questions correctly, far exceeding the 30 percent passing mark and even exceeding the excellent level. In my record, there are only twelve people in the Kenrito Council who outscored him, the most recent of which was Gianna Proudmoore. ”

As the last word fell, his whole person quickly became transparent, and finally completely dissipated into the air.

"Thirteenth in history, this is amazing!" the old mage's eyes widened, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

After all, although the questions in the book are only basic theoretical knowledge, the scope is all-encompassing, and even the archmage does not dare to guarantee that he can answer all the questions correctly, so for a young mage who has just been promoted from an apprentice, it is already a very remarkable achievement to be able to answer 30% correctly.

Only a very small number of outstanding young mages can barely achieve a 50% accuracy rate, and as for more than 50%, there are only a handful in the entire history of Dalaran.

He wasn't quite sure if the young man in front of him, who had never received a systematic education in Dalaran, was a rare genius.

Ansrem Ruinwivol also looked Zhang Cheng up and down, his eyes seemed to have found some rare and rare animal, and after a while he smiled and asked, "Can you tell me how you did it?"

"What?"

Zhang Cheng suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, that is, he should not answer all the questions he knew correctly, so he simply chose to pretend to be stupid.

Otherwise, he would have no way to explain where the knowledge and memories that had been so much instilled in his head came from.

"You should know what I mean. As a young mage, you have performed a little too well, first defeating an opponent far stronger than you in a one-on-one duel, and now you have shown the theoretical knowledge of the court and the ordinary, with the level of teaching of Ruisen, it is absolutely impossible to teach such an excellent disciple. So I thought, you must be hiding something, right?"

With that, Ansrem Ruinvivol rose from his chair, a suffocating magic emanating from his body.

As the administrator of the Council of Six, although he is not as well-known as the others, his strength should not be underestimated, otherwise the Dark Queen would not have allowed Dalaran to complete the rebuilding under her nose.

Holding back the fear in his heart, Zhang Cheng took a deep breath and defended in a deep voice: "Okay, I admit to hiding some little secrets, but I can swear to you that Risen is really my mentor, and all the power and knowledge I have so far comes from him." Also, do you think if I were a spy or have ulterior motives, I would be so high-profile?"

"Truth be told, this young man didn't lie. Charles raised his head and glanced at the color of the Eye of the Arcane around him, and quickly made a judgment.

Of course, Zhang Cheng didn't lie, he just told some truth skillfully and selectively.

There is no doubt that whether it is a castrated mage career template, or those complex knowledge that ordinary people can't understand at all, it all comes from the dead Risson, and it is definitely not an exaggeration to call the other party a mentor.

"Strange, is there something wrong with my feelings?"

Knowing that Zhang Cheng did not falsify his identity, Ansrem Ruinvivol quickly put away his magic and sat down again, keeping his head down and not knowing what he was thinking.

Charles shrugged his shoulders and didn't pay attention to him, but said directly to Zhang Cheng: "Okay, don't worry, Your Excellency the Archmage has been busy dealing with the harassment of the Forsaken recently, so it is inevitable that you will be a little nervous. Next, let's move on to the second test, which is the number of spells mastered. Now, cast all the spells you have on me, and then I'll give me a rating based on number, power, and cast speed. Don't underestimate this, he decides your status once you enter the council. ”

"Understood!" Zhang Cheng nodded slightly, without any nonsense, and directly began to release the fireball technique.

After a few hours of rest, his magic had regained his powers, so in the blink of an eye, he smashed the hot fireball into the old mage's chest.

Unfortunately, just as the flame blast had hit the Forsaken Elite before, nothing happened after a flash of red light.

"Well, it's not badly powerful, it's a lot stronger than many low-level mages. It seems that you have long since left the level of apprenticeship, and it may not be a few years before there will be one more young archmage in the council. Go on, don't stop. Charles commented casually.

It seemed that for him, the fireball just now was like a mosquito bite, and it had no effect at all.

At this moment, Zhang Cheng realized that the flashing red light was likely to be something like a protective flame enchantment, or a protective flame potion.

After figuring this out, he immediately stopped using fire-based spells and switched to arcane and frost.

When the old mage saw this, he immediately laughed and applauded, "Haha! You're such a clever fellow! But unfortunately, it's not just the protective flame barrier that protects me now, but also the protective frost, shadow, and arcane, and with your current strength, it's impossible to break the protection." ”

"Any enchantment has a corresponding endurance limit, and as long as my spell power can break through the endurance limit, the barrier will collapse. So I'd like to try to see if I can break your defenses before my mana drain is complete. Zhang Cheng said as he gave up the arcane and frost spells, choosing to use the most destructive fireball technique and smash it straight ahead.

Since he was destined to be unable to keep a low profile, he simply released his power completely, releasing nearly twenty fireballs in one go.

When the last one hit, the fiery red light on Charles's body finally shattered, and a ray of spark passed through the barrier and gently fell on the robe, quickly burning out......
