Chapter 36: The Beginning of the Trial
"Yes, but that's a higher-level application, and you can't learn it yet. Deni walked up to Leo, raised her hand and put it on his arm, and pushed it slightly, "I'll tell you how to exert your strength first, do you feel it, these muscles are the key to generating strength." All you need to do is channel the Primal Energy here. When the muscles absorb the original energy, they produce much more force than usual. β
Leo pointed to his arm and confirmed, "How many pieces?"
Dini checked it and affirmed: "Yes, it's just these pieces, don't make a mistake, otherwise the power backlash will not only have no effect, but may also make you injured." β
Hearing her say this, the wiki on the side was strange: "If the original energy is so easy to get hurt, why do you still have to engage in a trial? The purpose of this trial should be to examine a person's application and control of the original energy." β
Dini didn't want to answer, but seeing that Leo was also curious, he explained, "It's your first time participating in the trial, of course you don't know this. In fact, a large number of people, before becoming official battle mages, have to go through several trials in a row, and usually use some non-constant "magic weapons" to practice, so they all have a certain foundation. β
"Oh, I see. Only then did Vicky come to his senses, and said to Leo, "It seems that we don't have much chance of getting through guΓ²." β
"It's all here, you have to try it to find out. Leo replied casually, and said to Deni, "Can I try first?"
Dini replied with a smile, "Of course, I will watch you, and there is no need to feel any mental pressure." β
With permission, Leo immediately began to control the original energy in his body. After all, the process of controlling the spiritual power all year round is not difficult, and it is easy to guide the transformed original energy into the muscles of the arm.
However, he also found that the consumption of spiritual power by transforming the original energy is not small. At his current level, he has maintained a steady dìng transformation, and he will probably be able to last for an hour at most.
Aside from the distractions, as the original energy entered the arm, Leo felt an irrepressible power filling it, as if it was about to break the arm, and the only thing he wanted to do now was to vent this power fiercely.
"Whew!"
Punching at the air, although there is no target, the momentum is still very impressive.
Leo felt it. I am very satisfied, the effect of this punch has been at least twice as high as before!
"Yes, it was successful the first time. Dini immediately gave an affirmation, and then admonished: "But you have to remember that although the original energy will strengthen the body, the pressure it brings is also very huge, and you must not use it endlessly, otherwise the body will not recover." It is very bad for both health and future development to enter a state of excitement again. β
"Thanks, I remember. Leo said heartily. At the same time, the joy of success in my heart has also vanished, and I still have too much to learn, and I am just on the road.
"Okay, you can try practicing again. But don't go through drastic exertion, there will be trials later, I'm optimistic that you can succeed in one go!" He spoke of encouragement, then said to the wiki: "Now it's your turn." β
"I ......" Wiki obviously hesitated for a moment, but soon unexpectedly regained his composure, ripped off his clothes, and said loudly: "Come on! I'm not afraid of pain!"
At this time, Leo suddenly remembered something, and before Dini started, he asked, "By the way, are there any books here about the application of the original energy?"
"Of course, after you have successfully obtained the magic weapon, we will provide you with a copy of "Elementary Primal Ability" for free, which is very detailed and very suitable for beginners to learn. After Dini answered, she took out another scroll and looked at Vikki's weak chest with a strange expression.
............
Half an hour later, Leo, Vikki, and two other participants in the Battle Mage Trial followed Dini to a portal on the fifteenth floor.
"According to the situation given by the headquarters, this time there are a total of twelve people from other regions and us together, and you will all enter the same trial space, as for the rules, when they arrive, someone will make specific arrangements. After a simple explanation, Dini asked the four of them to make adjustments, and when the news came from the headquarters, they were ready to enter the portal at any time.
The other two, a man and a woman, were in the same area for a while before the trial began, and they were encouraged by the lively wiki, so they started talking to each other, and soon got to know each other first.
The male is a level 3 mage and the other woman is a level 4 mage, and it is most common and appropriate to choose to become a battle mage at this level. The two of them couldn't help but be a little surprised to see young Leo and Vicky, but they quickly accepted that the world was so big that there were no surprises.
The male mage was about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, his physique did not look like a human being, he was a full 2 meters tall, and his muscles were tangled, if he wasn't wearing a mage robe, no one would think of him as a mage at all.
After understanding, Leo learned that this gentleman actually had the blood of a thunder giant. It stands to reason that this is a great talent to become a warrior, but he himself does not think so, but is deeply fascinated by magic, and finally resolutely uses the bloodline cleansing potion despite the opposition of his family, and gives up the Thunder Giant bloodline that affects the casting of spells. However, even so, due to the awakening of the bloodline at a young age, his body still inherited and retained some of the characteristics of the Thunder Giant, but the talent spell was completely lost.
And that lady is relatively ordinary, after graduating from the Academy of Magic, because she has no achievements in research, and she is a female man who likes to fight very much, so she chose to become a battle mage.
Just as they were chatting first, a crystal in Dini's hand vibrate, she felt it for a moment, and said, "The trial is about to begin, you can enter the portal." β
None of them wanted to delay for another year before they could obtain the "magic arm", so they hurriedly gathered their minds and entered the portal in turn.
The light flickered, and Leo suddenly felt that he had come to another world, in addition to the two people he had just met, there were seven or eight other people next to him, who were also participating in the trial.
Since entering the trial space for the first time, he looked up curiously, and suddenly found that the sky here was the same as the magic space, it was an endless starry sky, and he immediately understood that this was also a half-plane floating in the universe.
What surprised him even more was that there was a black stone wall in front of him, with more than a dozen entrances opening side by side in the front position.
"This is a labyrinth, do you want to practice in it?" Leo had just come up with the idea when a middle-aged man walked over and handed over a crystal card.
You don't need to ask to know that this man must be an official of the "Magic Blade" headquarters, in charge of the management of the trial.
When a card had been handed to everyone, the man gathered them together and said, "I think you already know the rules of the trial, but I'm going to repeat it." β
"First of all, you have to get to the exit within eight hours, that's the premise. β
"Secondly, you should kill the phantom creatures as much as possible, instead of choosing to avoid them, the number jΓΉ will be recorded in the card as the basis for judging the final score, and it is emphasized that in this trial, up to six people will be able to obtain magic weapons. β
"Normally, there is no danger in the labyrinth, but in order to prevent accidents, your cards also have constant alarm magic, as long as it is activated, we will arrive as fast as possible. However, if you do so, you will give up the trial and will be disqualified, so you will have to decide for yelves. β
"Finally, if you meet in the maze, you can fight to reduce the number of points that the other team gets. However, it is required to stop at the point, and it is not allowed to maliciously cause irreparable damage, otherwise, the magic blade will impose extremely severe punishment on the perpetrator. It's a trial space, it's heavily guarded, and I'm sure you're not stupid enough to do anything like that. β
Hearing this, several older people were relatively normal, while Leo, Wiki, and several other people who participated in the trial for the first time began to get nervous. Killing phantom creatures may not have any psychological pressure, but fighting with other people, although the requirements are stopped, is still not easy.
The man didn't give them much time to think, and announced directly: "The next interview training has officially begun, please enter the corresponding entrance according to your own numbers, and I will wait at the exit." With that, the figure vanished in a flash.
"Whew, it's finally begun!" Leo looked at his card, knowing that no matter how much he tried it now, it wouldn't bring any good, so he steadied himself and raised his feet towards the entrance of his target.
At this time, a cold voice sounded in the trial space: "Four! Return to your own entrance! Repeat, please return to your own entrance! Otherwise, you will be disqualified from the trial!"
It turned out that Wiki saw that no one was at the scene, so he secretly followed Leo and planned to act with him, but it was exposed on the spot.
"It's pretty strict. He glanced around with an unhappy face, but he couldn't find the other party's way of observing, and finally snorted and entered the fourth entrance.
............
Entering the labyrinth, the passage is about five meters wide, and the walls are five meters high. Leo probed his hand and touched it, a heavy, cold, rough feeling came, and there was even a faint special energy fluctuation, which should be protected by the magic array, so that he was completely sure that it was impossible for him to destroy it, but it should not be difficult to leap over.
But he just thinks about it, judging from the situation on the wiki just now, this trial space must be closely monitored, unless he has a bad brain, he will want to cheat. Without thinking, he took a step forward and walked forward.
Suddenly, a colorful light flashed not far away, and the next moment, a majestic figure appeared from the light, accompanied by a wild roar: "Whoa, a fragile human, my great axe drought is already hungry and thirsty!" (To be continued......)
