After the three-month protection period, everything is no longer free, food, clothing, housing, transportation, and cultivation resources must all be earned by themselves. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Because in the academy, gold coins are useless, only points are.

There are many ways to earn points: hunt monsters to get materials, collect medicinal herbs, and earn points for some special challenges in the academy...... Even, kill others and grab points!

Knowing the news, on the way back to the Apprentice Tower, all the freshmen were not in a good mood.

The words of the black-robed magician were like a shadow hanging over everyone's hearts, and they knew for the first time that it was so difficult and cruel to become a magician.

Although Du Kang had been mentally prepared for the danger under Yager's reminder, he did not expect it to come so quickly, and there was a possibility of death after only three months, which was different from Du Kang's imagination of the Radiant Magic Academy.

When returning to the Apprentice Tower, Du Kang couldn't help but ask David, "David, why is this happening? Is this the rule of the whole academy?"

David shook his head and said, "No, it's only the Nether Branch. ”

This is the second time Du Kang has heard the name.

David explained, "There are two branches in the Radiant Academy of Magic, one is the Radiant Branch, and the other is the Netherworld Branch. The philosophies of the two branches are also very different!"

"The Korn Radial Branch, which is not so strict with students, also has easier access to resources. The method of teaching is also gradual, which is a relatively gentle way. ”

"But the Netherworld Chamber, it's more cruel. What is important is the survival of the fittest, and the weak eat the strong. Every year, the Nether Branches have a high rate of elimination and mortality, and they train mages with a near-militarized management method. Here we only look at the results, not the process. ”

"More than a decade ago, the Nether Branch wasn't so extreme. Influenced by public opinion...... Although the elimination rate is very high, there are not many real casualties. ”

"But in recent years, as more and more masters have been cultivated by the Netherworld Branch, and their performance on the battlefield has become more and more dazzling, those noble high-ranking people have all shut their mouths under the brilliant achievements of the Netherworld Branch. The Nether Chamber's approach to teaching has become more and more brutal, but the Empire has provided more and more resources. Up to now, some of the descendants of the nobles of the empire, knowing that there is no hope of inheriting the title, even took the initiative to ask to come here to fight. ”

After a pause, Du Kang lowered his voice and said to Du Kang: "I heard my uncle say that there are still death indicators in the Netherworld Branch, and a certain number of people die every year. ”

Du Kang gasped, he didn't expect Wonder Road to send himself to such a cruel place. The Wonderful Road will be delivered to the place where the person wants it most according to what he wants.

Could it be that deep down in his heart he likes this cruel way? Du Kang couldn't help but think wildly.

David patted Du Kang's shoulder and said in relief. "Don't worry, I've condensed the magic vortex, and I'll help you. We will definitely survive in three months. And successfully passed the magician assessment half a year later. ”

David didn't ask Du Kang how he got in, everyone had their own secrets, and as a businessman's nephew, he knew what to ask and what not to ask.

............

Back at the Apprentice Tower, everyone received a parchment scroll, the Basic Meditation Method, which was intended for all new students in order to condense the magic vortex.

The explanation of the black-robed magician who taught them was indeed very two-hearted, and the simple but thorough demonstration in the white tower touched these new students a lot, coupled with the oppressive words in the last paragraph, Du Kang heard many cheers on the night after getting this set of "Basic Meditation Method".

Obviously, they all succeeded in condensing the magic vortex and generating magical power.

However, most of these people are nobles, their talents are not bad, and they have a lot of experience under the advance training of their respective families, and even some of them have some low-level magicians in their homes.

Unfortunately, Du Kang followed the method of "Basic Meditation Method", but there was no improvement in the slightest.

The foundational meditation method is a painting. A three-dimensional picture.

Beginners need to keep visualizing the painting in their minds until they can feel that they are in the painting, and they have initially gathered all their mental energy. Only then can a magic vortex be formed.

Almost half of the people fell on it, and David told Dukang at night that he had heard that a guy had fallen asleep while contemplating the painting......

For an ordinary person with no talent, this first step in getting started is very difficult. But Du Kang was not discouraged, just as he always failed when he first learned to make magic lamps from Old Tom, but Du Kang was patient, a kind of patience that could grind an iron pestle into a needle......

............

The next day, the freshmen came to another mage tower.

After a night of conversation, everyone almost understood what kind of place they were in. I also understood that the words of the black-robed magician I saw at the beginning were not a joke.

Because that night, a nobleman and a commoner freshman clashed, violating the ban on fighting in the black-robed magician's apprentice tower, and was thrown from the apprentice tower by the black-robed magician on the spot.

At that time, the number of floors that those two people were on was thirteen, and for the two people who didn't have magic and couldn't fly, it was needless to say what the fate would be.

Du Kang saw a girl frightened by that scene and subconsciously wanted to cry. But after being glared at by the black robe, he didn't dare to cry, and it wasn't until the black robe disappeared that he gritted his teeth and covered his mouth and whimpered in a low voice.

This scene suddenly reminded Du Kang of a long time ago in the slums, when these children were fighting for a bite of food, and many people were crying, which was almost the same scene.

As a result, none of the freshmen were absent from the theoretical class of "Elemental Models and Architectures" on the second day. Except, of course, for the two men who were thrown down in black robes that night......

They were taught by an old magician with gray hair, who did not say his name, and no one dared to ask.

"Before taking this course, you must first understand the connection between magic, elemental, and spiritual powers. ”

"Spiritual power is not substance, but the elements are substance, although spiritual power can sense the elements between heaven and earth, but the two cannot produce direct force. ”

"For example, I put two ordinary people in a space with the same concentration of fire elements, and the one with stronger spiritual power will be more sensitive to the reaction of the fire element, which is directly reflected in the fact that he will feel very hot. But ordinary people don't have magic power, they can only sense it, and there is no way to reduce a certain element in this space, so that the temperature can increase or drop. ”

The old magician paused, a flame slowly appeared in his hand, and he changed his words: "And when the magic power is cultivated, the spiritual power can control the elements between heaven and earth through magic power." In this way, in the eyes of ordinary people, we can do some magical things. For example, now I'm using magic to grab some of the fire elementals in this hall. ”

“...... Or grab all the fire elementals. ”

Before the words fell, the flames in the old magician's hands suddenly rose to a height of four or five meters! And everyone in the hall felt a sudden coldness, and the temperature dropped several degrees in an instant!

The freshmen have basically read Master Fanner's book "Theory of the Elements", every area between heaven and earth is full of various elements, although the elements are fluid, but it will take a long time for the fire element in the hall to be slowly recovered by an old magician like this old magician who instantly empties a certain element in the hall.

And because of the different levels of elements, it is very difficult to grab all the single elements in an area.

Everyone looked at the gray-haired old magician with admiration.

The old magician looked at the new students below and said to himself, "This flame looks spectacular, and if you keep adding magic power, it can become even bigger because of the catalytic effect of magic on the elements." Until the elemental jumps to a higher level, and the fire elemental's rank exceeds the level of mana, the mana no longer has a catalytic effect...... The flame reached its limit. ”

"Of course, this is only the most superficial means, and even if I make this flame bigger, it will only have the property of burning at best. The difference is just that the strength is weak. And it's also a waste of mana, so it's the most primitive kind of magic, because it wastes a lot of mana and elements, but it can only do so much. ”

"But the same number of elements and magic when I construct it into a subtle elemental model. Like this......"

The flame in the old magician's hand began to shrink slowly, and gradually, condensed into a ball, and the flame no longer jumped, but swirled on the palm of his hand.

"Now, if I throw this fireball out. The white tower will explode in an instant, then burn into ashes. ”

"The same magic and the elements, because of the change in the arrangement of the elements, rebuild it. The power is increased several times or even dozens of times. This is the element model. ”

"So what affects the combat effectiveness of the mage, in addition to the level. It is the degree to which mental power controls the elements. The stronger the model of the spiritual power constructed by the elements through the magic power, the stronger the magic will be at the end. It is the most important part of a magician besides magic and mental power. ”

"Now, everybody turns to the apprenticeship chapter of Elemental Models and Architectures. ”
