The assessment teacher's attitude immediately changed, with a warm smile on his face, and continued to ask Lu Ming, "May I ask what your age is?"

"Nineteen years old. ”

The assessment teacher nodded, wrote down the content with a quill in his hand, and asked, "Where are you from?"

"I am from the city of the earth. Lu Ming replied.

The assessment teacher was a little surprised, the city of the earth is very far away from here, and most of the people there believe in the goddess of the earth, and those gifted young people generally go to the holy mountain to practice.

He didn't ask much, "It's already possible, please go to the testing room on my left." Take this form and there will be a teacher there to explain it for you. ”

Lu Ming took the form and saluted the teacher, then walked to the next room. He found that what was recorded on the form was the identity information he had just answered, presumably for the convenience of statistics.

There are also four options below the form, which are Mental Power, Elemental Perception, Perception, and Perseverance, which are the content of the test.

In this room sat a woman about forty years old, ordinary but very attractive, she smiled at Lu Ming.

Taking the form from Lu Ming's hand, she was also surprised when she saw Lu Ming's name.

The smile on his face deepened a little, pointed to a crystal ball on the table, and said to Lu Ming: "Do you see this crystal ball? ”

The crystal ball was just the size of the ball to cover it with two hands from both directions without touching, and there was a restrained blue light emitting from it, as ethereal as the sky.

Lu Ming covered the crystal ball with both hands, slowly closed his eyes, and mobilized the spiritual power in his mind to scout towards the crystal ball.

After this period of meditation, his spiritual power has reached the level of a high-level apprentice swordsman.

As Lu Ming's spiritual power deepened, the crystal ball emitted a light blue light from the inside out, and when Lu Ming summoned all his spiritual power, the light blue light turned into a dark blue.

Lu Ming opened his eyes and looked at the charming blue light in front of him in amazement.

The female assessment teacher nodded with satisfaction and wrote an "A" on the mental power column.

A is the highest score on this test, and you need to reach the advanced apprenticeship level, and the intermediate apprenticeship level is B, and so on. Even if your cultivation reaches the swordsman level, your score will not exceed A.

The Hardy Academy does not have excessive requirements for spiritual power, and they know that it is difficult for people to cultivate their spiritual power without the help of other cultivators.

The female examiner smiled and handed the form to Lu Ming, "It's okay, please go to the next room." ”

The third room was a test of elemental perception, and he had heard Syrius say before he came that this test was important.

It can measure what elements you have the strongest perception and affinity, and it will determine the direction of your future practice.

Generally, only a person's mental power reaches the level of a swordsman or a magician to perceive the power of the elements, but in order to test a person's talent in advance, people have invented such a method.

Sitting here was a male assessment teacher, his eyes were cold, there was a green snake-shaped demonic beast wrapped around his neck, and two vertical pupils stared at Lu Ming, which made him feel a little weird.

The man was slightly surprised after taking the form, and patted the green snake's head with his hand, and then the green snake closed his eyes peacefully, as if he had entered a dormant, and suddenly Lu Ming's pressure was instantly reduced.

The strange male examiner pointed to the crystal ball, "Put your hand on it and empty your mind." ”

The male assessment teacher's voice was a little hoarse, and Lu Ming felt slightly uncomfortable.

Lu Ming took the crystal ball very seriously, put his two hands lightly on it, slowly closed his eyes, emptied his heart, left no other thoughts, and put all his mind into this crystal ball.

This time the crystal ball was different from the last time, it was empty, as if there was nothing, but it was opaque, as if there was indeed something inside.

After Lu Ming put all his body and mind into it, he felt that he had come to a strange world, and there was nothing in this world.

After a while, a gust of wind blew, and a faint gray color appeared in the field of vision, constantly changing and tumbling in the air, with no fixed shape.

With Lu Ming's perception, a faint gray mark appeared in the crystal ball, and the male assessment teacher couldn't help frowning, this level of imprint is only a C-level evaluation, and talent is very common.

At this moment, Lu Ming's heart suddenly beat violently, like a beating war drum, and a black hole appeared in the spiritual world.

The black hole continued to expand, like a hideous mouth of blood, engulfing the entire world in an instant.

The male assessment teacher watched the crystal ball change in surprise, first a black dot appeared in the center, and then it quickly expanded, instantly filling the entire crystal ball, covering the faint gray imprint.

Then the crystal ball began to vibrate, and finally shattered directly with a "click". The green snake on its neck opened its eyes in amazement.

Lu Ming looked at the broken crystal ball, and was dumbfounded, and the assessment teacher was also dumbfounded.

He had never seen such a talent, and he was sure that this had never happened since the invention of the Talent Crystal.

Fortunately, he had seen a lot of strong winds and waves, coughed lightly, wrote an "A" on the form, and said to Lu Ming: "Yes, let's go to the next room." ”

After Lu Ming took the form and left, the male teacher began to check the broken crystal, and after looking at it for a long time, he still had no clue.

Touching the ring on his left hand, he took out another talent crystal from it painfully, and I don't know if the dean who slammed the door will compensate him.

In the fourth room sat an old magician, whose identity was revealed by the magic wand beside him.

The wand was inlaid with a fiery red gem, and the magician sat meticulously in an old, clean mage robe.

He took the form from Lu Ming's hand, and the results of the two A's were very dazzling.

I couldn't help but smile on my face, "The content of this test is understanding. Next, I'm going to unleash a simple level 1 magic that you'll need to use your psychic power to carefully observe how this magic works. ”

Lu Ming was eager to try, he had never been exposed to the magic directly formed by using the power of the elements, and he couldn't help but cheer up his spirit and concentrate his spiritual power to a high degree.

Seeing that Lu Ming was ready, the old man recited the magic spell lightly, and a red fire element appeared in the air, each fire element emitted a flickering red light, connected into one, gorgeous and colorful, it was actually a magic that manifested the fire element in people's field of vision.

"Look closely. ”

The old man opened his mouth and recited the magic spell, and this time his voice was no longer small: "O fire elemental sleeping in the air, please listen to my request and assemble in front of me: Fireball Technique!"

As the old magician chanted the incantation, the fiery red elements gathered in front of the old man, quickly condensing into a fireball composed of solid flames.

Lu Ming looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, closed his eyes and carefully recalled the whole process, and slowly spoke: "The entire fireball is constantly wrapped by a large number of fire elements, and the center has the most fire elements, so the fireball is extremely unstable, and once it touches other objects, it will explode. ”

The old man was very satisfied with Lu Ming's answer, "Yes, observation and thinking are inseparable from a person's understanding, and I hope you can continue to do so on the path of cultivation in the future." ”

After the old man finished speaking, he typed an "A" on the comprehension column of the form, handed the form to Lu Mingdao, and said, "Continue with your next test." ”

Lu Ming was very satisfied with the three A's, which meant that even if he got the worst D in the last test, he could successfully pass the assessment.

Because the admission criteria for Hardy Academy is an average grade of B in all four test contents, with at least one A grade grade.

In the last room, the same old man sat the Examiner, dressed in a mage's robe, with a magic wand standing next to him. The difference is that there is nothing inlaid on the magic wand.

The old man closed his eyes before Lu Ming entered, as if he was resting.

It wasn't until he heard Lu Ming's footsteps walking in front of him that he slowly opened his eyes, the two eyes were extremely insightful, and Lu Ming felt that his heart was seen clearly.

The old man looked at Lu Ming's name on the form, as well as the results of the three tests, and couldn't help but look up at Lu Ming carefully.

Then he pointed to a magic device on the table, "This test is about perseverance, you just need to probe your mental power into it." ”

The Perseverance Test was added a hundred years ago, and it was very controversial at the time.

Some believe that perseverance is essential for a cultivator to be the fourth important indicator. Others believe that perseverance, while important, is not yet on a par with mental power, elemental perception, and understanding, and cannot be tested well.

Later, the dean at that time overrode public opinion and officially added the perseverance test to the entrance examination, and the test method was determined to be spiritual magic.

Spiritual magic refers to magic that does not require the use of elemental power and relies only on mental power, which is extremely difficult and expensive. Contract magic, for example, is a type of spiritual magic.

Lu Ming held the magic device in front of him with his hand, and a spiritual power was summoned from his mind, and when he probed into it, a white magic array was quickly generated, emitting a dazzling white light towards Lu Ming.

Lu Ming found that the scene around him had changed, and he was no longer in the assessment room, but came to the foot of a mountain, and then a voice came from his mind: "Go and climb the mountain in front of you, as long as you climb to the top of the mountain, the test will be successful." ”

Because Lu Ming's body was stronger than ordinary people, it didn't take any effort to climb up, but as time passed, the mountain in front of him seemed to never see the top.

Lu Ming persevered until the ninth day, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, he didn't know how long it had been in reality, whether he had passed the test, so he didn't continue to move forward, but he didn't know how to give up.

At that moment, the scene suddenly changed, and he returned to the house, and it turned out that whenever someone had the idea of "giving up", the magic would automatically stop.
